"Who is it?"

Quan Er's eldest son whispered: "The surname is Cai, it seems that he is what Dalang said about Cai and Cai Gong."

"That's good," Wang Ju said happily, but he wondered why Cai Ting came to Qingzhou, but he didn't even know. How could he know? When Cai Ting left the capital, Han Qi gave Cai Ting a few more tactful words: The new emperor ascended the throne and had to reward the world. The cost of the former emperor's mountain tomb, and the financial situation was very tight for two years. Therefore, Cai Ting came to Qingzhou, and the court could support the financial resources and military strength.

Cai Ting wanted to curse herself, why didn’t he mention it when he came to Beijing, and only said it after he received the position?

But on the surface, he did not dare to get angry, so he had to say tactfully: "Han Gong, if it were as Wang Ju said, the number of enemy troops in Xixia would not be small, and the number of troops that could be used on Huanqing Road was too small. I hope Han Gong could do his best to give some support. Only when the Xixia people were repelled by Huanqing Road, the war between the two countries would not arise. Otherwise, Huanqing Road would be a loss and a great war would begin, and then the national use would be even more embarrassing."

If you don’t support it, you must support it. Otherwise, Qingzhou will fall and the Song Dynasty will have to fight back. I will lose money at that time, and you, the Prime Minister, will lose even more.

I won’t say anything else and hurried to Gyeongju.

When I came to Qingzhou and handed over with Sun Mian, I didn’t make things difficult for Sun Mian. So what if I was embarrassed? After retirement, I would be infamous for taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, I came to Huachi County successfully, and it was very fast, so Wang Ju had not received the news yet.

This is also impossible. If something happens in the future, the key is Wang Ju.

But he was in Shaanxi before, but he was in Chang'an City and did not know the real situation on the front line. Either it was Sun Mian's report. That was not credible. Or it was the report of two eunuchs who went down to investigate. It might not be credible.

You must ask Wang Ju himself to know the truth about the three battles, and you also have to have a careful conversation with Wang Ju.

Wang Ju greeted him and immediately bowed: "The official has met Mr. Cai."

When Sun Mian was there, he had the benefits of Sun Mian. He could play some tricks by himself. Cai Xing came here, which was what he most hoped for, but some tricks could not be played anymore.

"No need to be polite. Wang Ju, I was in Chang'an City before. Let's talk about the situation of those battles last year and how to arrange them."

Wang Jujiang said it all over the three battles last year.

"Will Xixia invade?"

"Not necessarily, if there is a huge natural disaster, there will be no invasion. If not, there will be certain invasion."

"You still use prisoners of war to provoke?"

"Donald Cai, can they change their minds without provoking? This is a long-planned invasion. What does it have to do with thousands of prisoners of war? If that is the case, what will happen to the people who were killed by the Xixia people on the border? The reason why the officials did that was that they came to our Song Dynasty to burn, kill and loot. Now the court not only did not blame Xixia, but instead issued a light edict and released these people. What would the people think? What would the soldiers of the three armies think? Without morale, how to fight. So the officials did that, deliberately insulted the Western Xia and cheered up their morale, so that the release of prisoners of war would not bring about a side of accumulation."

"However, when I came, Mr. Han once again instructed to keep the border quiet. In the past two years, disasters have been happening, and the country's finances are tight. It is best not to cause trouble on the border to avoid giving the Western Xia handle. The war that was not originally had really caused war."

"Mr. Cai, don't worry, in fact, it was the third battle last year, and the remaining officials had always focused on military training and government affairs, but they were not very troublesome." But Wang Ju said in his heart that if the people of Xixia did not attack, it might be a good thing for Han Qi, but he was sad. A big hat of confusing the public would inevitably be pressed on his head.

"Then let me ask you again, why did you repeatedly ask me to come to Gyeongju in front of the two envoys?"

"King Cai, Qingzhou is not without generals. Zhang Yu, Wang Zhaoming, Zong Zhi, Lao Fan General Zhao Ming, and inspector Yao Yi are all first-class generals. By the way, Duke Cai, Zhang Tuiguan's military talent should not be underestimated. In military terms, he is only above the lower officials, not below the lower officials." Wang Ju reminded.

Like Sun Changqing, Sun Mian was not alone, but had no one under his command, but had no good people. Especially Zhang Shi, who was in Huachi after all, could not go to Qingzhou every day. So if Zhang Shi was good at using it, he was a good assistant to Cai Ting.

"You said Zhang Feng?"

“It’s him.

Cai Ting paid attention to it. Birds of a feather flock together. Through the story of the three battles just now, Wang Ju is not weak in military talent. During the three battles, he paid attention to the terrain, morale, military distribution, strategy, and attention to the other party's psychology. If he can do these things, a qualified general will have. Of course, Wang Ju is a civil servant, and government affairs is his responsibility. However, along the way, he looked at Huachi did a good job in government affairs, built many water conservancy roads, and planted a lot of winter wheat. The people Wang Ju should be interested in, and it would not be bad.

"Mr. Cai, the border defense in Qingzhou was not good in the past, but several officials dared not act. Therefore, although Sun Gong was good at the subordinates, he was very worried. Just as the envoy asked, the subordinates thought in his mind that the new magistrate who came must be bold in style, second, no longer be greedy and cowardly, third, be able to use talents well. So after thinking about it, only Mr. Cai was familiar with. Therefore, he said the name of Mr. Cai."

"By this point, can we repel the Xixia invasion?"

"Mr. Cai, enough. I have read the comments from Mr. Cai. Unless Xixia does not invade Huanqing Road, I will not start from Huanzhou. Unless we plunder, we will advance to Yuanzhou or Qingzhou layer by layer. The time is too slow, and there are mostly mountain roads. Our dynasty has built forts at many key places. The rest either took Huai'an Road to invade, but took Huai'an Town. Later, Wujiao Town and Rouyuan Town joined forces to resist, Wujiao Town, and Yele Town and other city defenses below. And there are also those on that side.

The mountains are taller and the vegetation is more lush, which is not conducive to the battle of the Western Xia cavalry. Therefore, there are only Dashun City. There are also many ridges in the Liyuan Fort behind, but most of them are hilly terrain and sparse vegetation. This terrain is conducive to the battle of the Western Xia people. Because of this terrain, our dynasty has never been able to set up a lifting fort between Rouyuan Village and Qingzhou City. As long as we take down Dashun City, the Xixia people can join forces with Dashun City and Xinjiang Fort to threaten Qingzhou. Therefore, Fan Wenzheng snatched the construction of Dashun City that year."

"Something makes sense." Cai Ting said, which was also the reason why he was happy after looking at the map. But what exactly is it? You have to go to the front line to observe it yourself.

"It is difficult to defend the entire Huanqing two prefectures. However, it has become much easier to defend Liyuan Fort, Dashun City and Rouyuan Village. Due to the narrow terrain constraints, no matter how many troops the enemy has, it cannot exert its advantage in distributing troops. Secondly, Sun Mian migrated to the border last year, which caused many people to resent, but it laid a good foundation for Cai Gongpu."

"Tell me the reason."

"The people are cleared up in front of the people, and the enemy has the opportunity to invade. If there is time, they can move the people to various forts and villages to jointly defend with major villages. They can also draw a large number of strong men and horses. If these people are well organized, they will also be a considerable force. In fact, the Huanqing Road is not as small as the surface seems to be. The subordinate estimates that if the organization is well organized and the information is meticulous, at least 15,000 officers and soldiers can be drawn to fight, and more than 15,000 strong men can be organized, either attacking or defending. This force is quite large."

"Yeah, what else?"

"Kun Cai," Wang Ju pulled Cai Ting to the side and whispered: "I brought a foreign general Zhao Zhong, who was originally a brave general under Yeli Yuqi's tent on the other side of the mountain. The Yeli tribe is quite famous. Under his contact, several Yeli tribes on the other side of the mountain wanted to join my court. I did not let them come immediately, but let them continue to stay on the other side of the mountain, and only brought them into use after autumn."

"Do you want to fight back?" Cai Ting took a deep breath and said, "If you use it well, it would be a fatal killing."

"Why can't you fight back, especially this kind of Liangmao terrain."

"I understand why your information is so accurate."

"Some of them were brought by the Yeli tribe, but they are no longer in power now. They are excluded from different severity and are difficult to get useful news. Therefore, at my suggestion, General Yao formed a white team in each battalion."

"Can anyone else know?"

"No one else knows it. In order to keep it a secret, I did not report it to His Majesty, including the tribes on the other side of the mountain. I just sent someone to inform them to wait patiently so as not to leak the news in advance."

"This must be kept confidential."

"The officials know."

"I'm here in Gyeongju, and I heard you're going to put the capital in the capital?"

"Kun Cai, this is a temporary solution. If you want to set up capital, you have no prestige or ability. If you don't have any right, you will have objections. After setting up capital, the foreigners will easily join forces and have some bad consequences. Therefore, the officials thought that they could not discriminate against the foreigners, but they should also divide them. However, because of the three battles last year, once the Xixia invaded, they would send a lot of troops, and there were blocked by Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village in Dashun City. They dared not divide their troops to Qingzhou, but they would be able to send a lot of troops to Liyuan Fort to retaliate against Xiaguan. Therefore, to set up capital and strengthen their cooperation and combat effectiveness, it is also a strategy for the officials to do not have their own choice."

"Then you still use prisoners of war to infuriate Xixia?"

Cai Ting asked suspiciously, wouldn’t this increase the value of hatred? It’s not worth it even if it inspires morale.

"If you want wealth and honor in danger, you don't have to worry about the number of enemies coming, you're afraid that you can't defeat them. As long as you defeat them, the more enemies you come, the better."

Cai Ting made his words amused.

But this time he also had some confidence in his heart. Of course, he still needed to understand how to arrange it before making a decision.

Wang Ju said again: "But Mr. Cai would better have to be weak on the outside and the inside."

"Film outside and solid inside?"

"Continue to show weakness to the enemy. In addition, if there are any arrangements, we must proceed secretly. On the surface, we will continue to keep the quietness of the previous magistrates. Otherwise, it may attract more enemy troops. If you don't fight, you will also demand victory in the other side of the mountain. This will be safer in the position of the small king. But our country will also fight back and defeat them in one battle. If you defeat them, the border will be peaceful."

Wang Ju said something is not unreasonable. If the 100,000 army is coming, it can be defeated. So what should I do if the 200,000 army comes?

But Wang Ju was mainly concerned that Xixia would change its plans when Qingzhou made great efforts.

I don’t know if Cai Ting saw through his feelings, but this time Cai Ting didn’t make any statement. However, even if he saw through, Cai Ting had no choice but to make a big fuss, but does the court have the financial support?

"And the officials will show Mr. Cai another thing."

Wang Ju used gunpowder to explode mountains and mine, and Xixia also knew that there were gunpowder, including Fire Tribulus. Of course, he also knew that Wang Ju's gunpowder was even more powerful and had not yet thought about bombing the city wall. However, he knew that obtaining this technology would be helpful to Xixia, so he secretly sent a scout to inquire.

How could Wang Ju let them get the hands? The three materials of gunpowder were remade in this workshop, almost in a first-level confidentiality state. Only a retired craftsman invited by Zhu Huan and several official craftsmen sent from the capital intervened.

Moreover, there were also a group of soldiers outside the workshop who took turns to patrol day and night, so the Xixia people did not succeed. But it was impossible to succeed in the future. They stopped building roads and mines, or prepared some fire caltrops. After the preparation was completed, the capital officials stopped producing them after they returned.

I knew about this gunpowder, but the Xixia people did not know about this new trencher. In the past, in order to keep it confidential, they were equipped with stone bombs for testing during the test.

In order to increase Cai Ting's confidence, this is the first time the workshop uses this catapult to equip the fire terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial experiment.

This is also a trump card and confidence in Wang Ju's hands.

A loud bang came out, and although Cai Ting was buzzing with his ears, a smile finally appeared on his face. With this alone, he could not defeat the enemy. However, in all aspects, he combined them to repel the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty bit by bit.

When Wang Ju saw Cai Ting's smile, he was calm. After all, unlike in history, it seemed that when the Xixia people invaded, Cai survived Qingzhou and was forced to go to war. He didn't know in advance.

I know now, anyone else has pressure.

Moreover, it seems that from this battle, Cai Ting truly shines, and he has performed well on the border. However, he is not very interested in making achievements. After only a few years on the border, he wrote a poem: The Holy Lord is worried about the border, his power is far away, and the arrogant enemy is still broad in the sky. The years are blooming and the night is sad, who thinks about the old people of Yuguan? It is peace, and you are happy, don’t cherish the golden cup falling frequently.

The border is stable, and I have made military achievements. Master, are you still willing to see me, the old man in Yuguan?

When Zhao Xu saw this poem, he had no choice but to recall the lazy old guy back to the capital to serve as the deputy prime minister of the Western Prefecture.

Cai Ting talked with Wang Ju for a while and said, "You did a good job, as long as it doesn't work, I support you." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
