Chapter 287 The Truth
Quiet, really quiet.%
Moreover, Zhang Shi knew that Wang Ju might have difficulties, so he deliberately commented on everyone's achievements in the good news. Wang Ju put the first place, followed by Cai Ting, then Lin Guang, Zhao Ming, Li Sangou and others. Of course, this was also acquiesced by Cai Ting. Anyway, his rewards were also received, and he also had the first contribution to the Battle of Dashun City, so he had to save the opportunity.
That was the result of killing an enemy emperor. Although this result was a little bit forced, it was indeed because of Wang Ju's timely dispatch in the enemy's army that the enemy was defeated and Li Liangzuo was killed.
If you impeach Wang Ju again, it would be a waste of time.
In fact, Wang Juzhen doesn’t care. Whether it’s a good job or a few dozen days left, all of this is no longer important.
It can't be concealed anymore. The firecrackers in the capital were like rain. The news spread before it started to ring.
This is a general trend and great contribution, and even Han Qi was stunned, and these little and medium-sized ministers were all talkative.
There was a person who kept watching, that was Gao Taotao, and her husband said a word with difficulty: "Use!"
Gao Taotao also knew that it was necessary to use it. What the country lacked now is not civil officials, but civil officials who were truly able to fight. If the borders were unstable, how could the country remain stable?
However, Gao Taotao was a little hard to say about this matter, so he watched in secret without expressing his opinion. Moreover, the situation was very subtle, so she would better hide behind the scenes. The victory came, Gao Taotao thought for a while, looked at the eunuchs with joy, and said, "Send someone to bring that Wang Ju to the palace."
Even the eunuchs were so happy that they would not be the 100 million people of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Ju was taken to the harem.
Gao Taotao asked behind the curtain: "I heard that Sima Qing impeached you to sell prisoners of war, is there any such thing?"
"The Queen, that's the case."
"Huh." Gao Taotao almost fell to the ground in shock. Why did this kid admit it on his own initiative? Not only did she, but Zhao Xu, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. However, she was careful and asked again: "Tell me the reason."
"I have several reasons for this. The first one is different from Xue Rengui's killing of prisoners of war. They just went to be mine slaves. The mine owners received free labor and would not be harsh. This can be sent to investigate. The second one is not an example of me. The Xixia people abducted a large number of people on the border of our dynasty, not only the foreigners, but also the Han people. This can also be investigated. There are also many prisoners of war in our dynasty over the years due to the failure of war. However, in addition to the release of a few generals, such as Liu Ping and others, the rest of the people were released? Xixia first took the front and I echoed it later. I gave it to peaches and repay it with li. It is also in line with what the Master said that repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with straightforwardness. I did not do anything wrong."
This seems to be a reason, Gao Taotao began to be confused behind the curtain.
"Third, these prisoners of war were released, depressed our army's morale, but increased the enemy's majesty. Once released, they were all soldiers, so it was not a wise approach. But if they did not let go, the Xixia people suffered, one time, two time, three time, and the pain finally became deep. Whether it was a war or a harmony was determined by our dynasty. Fourth, the national financial issues. If we were based on previous wars, our dynasty might be calculated in units of tens of millions of guan, at least two to three millions of guan, and at most three to four millions of guan, four to five
But even though he knew that the war was about to come, Han Qi was also an important official who went to the front line. However, after Mr. Cai repeatedly asked, the court only allocated less than two million coins of money, which shows the financial difficulties of the court. After this battle, the court would not have much financial pension or reward, but once it wins, it will greatly increase the morale of our soldiers and the prestige of the Song Dynasty. With one go, the weak situation of our dynasty will improve, but due to insufficient pension and reward, the morale will be depressed and depressed, and all the previous efforts will be wasted."
"Didn't the court allocate a lot of money to Qingzhou?"
"Yes, these money is not only used for pensions and rewards, but also for food, instruments and armor costs, medical expenses, people's losses, and other expenses. Not many of them are actually involved in pensions and rewards. Furthermore, if not released, these prisoners of war will inevitably consume a lot of food in front of them, so the minister came up with this idea, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Cai, and it is all done by the minister."
"Why are you telling the truth now? These words are not spoken honestly in the Secretariat?"
"Empress, I will talk about Sima Gong first. He is an important minister. I also know, but the five fingers have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some ministers understand military affairs, some understand economy, and some understand water conservancy, people's livelihood, agriculture, and transportation. Sima Gong may have done a good job in internal affairs, but still does not understand military affairs. He thought that using money can buy peace, but not far away, I will talk about the Southern Tang Dynasty. Does Li Yu have less tribute to our dynasty every year? Money, silk, grain and grass, and even his own country produces copper, but in order to bribe Emperor Taizu, copper coins have not been enough, so he lets his people use iron coins. Did Taizu use money to buy peace because of his money, and it is not as mixed with Jiangnan?"
"It's among Wang Qing."
"Your Highness, you dare not, but you must also remember that as a country, you cannot be peaceful or weak. Just like a good old man, if there are good neighbors around you, good old man will be popular. If there are bad neighbors around you, you can only be bullied, and even be forced to destroy the family by bad people. The same is true for the country. Our dynasty cares about the people and regards harmony as the most important thing. However, in addition to Dali, the neighbors around are good neighbors, and Dali is also not clear about the barbarians in the south of Bashu. But they cannot act blindly."
"Tell me why you don't act blindly?" Gao Taotao said.
"Empress, I will use Xixia as an analogy, and first use this battle as an analogy. Before the war, I and Gong Cai, Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, Zhao Ming, Yao Yi and other ministers repeatedly discussed and planned. The enemy came in a fierce manner, and it was definitely not for Dashun City, but for Qingzhou. Why is Qingzhou surrounded by mountains on all sides, Ziwu Mountain in the east and Maling Mountain in the south? As long as I take it down, it can be regarded as the second Hengshan. Xixia is determined to be taken, and once it is taken down, it is isolated from Fuyan Road and Jingyuan Road. In the morning and evening, Yanzhou and Baoan Army, Zhenrong Army were separated into a lonely force and lost one after another, and it can also threaten Guanzhong of the Song Dynasty. But if you want to seize Qingzhou, you must first seize Dashun City. However, Dashun City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they must divide their troops in Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village."
"I have seen this music, too."
"Then I will briefly say that when the enemy arrived at Dashun City, Mr. Cai sent General Zhang Yu to lead 5,000 elite troops to Rouyuan Village. The enemy was strong and defended. The enemy was weak and counterattacked. The main battlefield was first placed in Huachi County. Although Huachi County did not have many troops, under my training, he could be said to be elite soldiers and generals. The battle in Huachi County was a turning point. Later, I was lucky enough to defeat more than 20,000 enemy enemies. The queen should know that I used a water attack strategy, so that I could defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the enemy. Therefore, Mr. Huang took His Highness's letter to Huachi County. I once said a word. This mountain and water can be a 50,000 army. The military strategy is the right time, place and people. This is in my territory, and I am familiar with it, but in the enemy's territory, the advantage of this terrain can be used by the enemy."
"It makes sense, keep going."
"Besides, the imperial court's defeat in the attack on Li Jiqian during the Zhenzong period was that Bai Shourong escorted the baggage to Lingzhou, and Li Jiqian set up a fumble to the Puluo River and defeated our army. In the end, the lonely city of Lingzhou had no aid or food, and the soldiers of the three armies were wiped out. In addition, the famous minister Fiji did not go to this battle. The same was true for Liao Xingzong's attack on Xia. He fought in the Huangsha Desert in Nanhetao. How could it be the opponent of the Xixia people? Xixia was not large in area, not large in population, but the terrain was complex, and it was mostly bitter.
It is easier to choose this location in the Alkaline Gobi. If you attack rashly, you will inevitably suffer heavy damage again. Therefore, I said that in the shallow attack, first Xutu Hengshan Huluchuan, and take down Duling Qu Wushan and Hengshan, the enemy will have no natural danger to defend. In less than a few years, Xixia will be exhausted by our army. But in the shallow attack, the court's finances must be good, the soldiers of the three armies must be brave, and there must be effective generals. Don't be Ge Huaimin and others, otherwise they will still fail."
"Wang Ju, you said it very well," Gao Taotao was finally moved. This was not radical, but a kind of calmness.
"Don't dare, Empress, I will talk about something about the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao went to Jiangnan and Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to surrender. Sun Quan hesitated. Suddenly, he remembered his brother Sun Ce's instructions before his death. He asked Zhang Zhao about internal affairs and external affairs. So he called Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu said, "My lord, you must not listen to Zhang Zhao. If the lord surrenders, there may not be a good end. However, when Zhang Zhao surrenders, he will still be a minister in the north. He even made contributions and can become an important minister under Cao Cao. This is why the Battle of Red Cliffs came."
"Have Sun Ce said this?"
"I've probably said it..." Wang Ju said he was happy, and actually took the Romance of the Three Kingdoms seriously and arranged the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhao Xu had read the Three Kingdoms, and was familiar with it, and knew that Wang Ju was choreographing it. He suddenly laughed at the side. But this sentence was indeed interesting. Wang Ju said again: "Empress, no matter whether he had said it or not, the meaning of me must be asked by those who understand it. It is like doing a carpenter, asking the minister, how can the minister understand? So we must ask the carpenter. If we ask the military affairs, does the military affairs Sima Gong understand? If he understood, he would not be disgraceful when he was in Fengzhou. However, Sima Gong was unconscious and had to take care of everything. He insisted on improper reasoning and turned the black and white. The minister had to repay his grievances with a straightforward and repay his kindness and excuse him. However, the official family is the common ruler of the world, the queen is the mother of the world, the prince is the crown prince of the world, the queen is the crown prince of the world, the queen asks the minister, and the minister dares to lie? If the minister has this mind, it is called a disobedient heart, and the queen will report to the official family. No matter whether the minister has the ability or not, it cannot be used."
"Well said, well said." Zhao Xu praised from the side.
"Wang Ju, I heard that Li Liangzuo was dead?"
"He was injured in many places by our soldiers, and his injuries were killed. But since the queen mentioned this, I would like to say it. During the time of Renzong, our soldiers were the most depressed. Li Liangzuo's death could somewhat wipe out this decadent spirit and boost the morale of the soldiers. But we cannot think that Xixia is in danger. Xixia has become a climate since Li Yuanhao's founding. The Liang family seems to be not simple, and maybe they are a person like Xiao Yanyan."
"I have also heard about your discussion in the Secretariat, and there are some reasons."
"But there is no need to be afraid. Xiao Yanyan is lucky. She just happened to have two tiger generals, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen. If not, she would be just Wu Zetian."
"Wu Zetian is not simple."
"Wu Zetian is not simple, but she is good at making power and internal affairs, but she is not good at military affairs, and she does not care about generals and kills several tiger generals in a row. If the exile of Wang Fangyi is still because of the Queen Wang, it cannot be used again. Cheng Wuting and Hei Chi Changzhi are too unfair. Although Cheng Wuting has close contact with Pei Yan, when Wu Zetian killed Pei Yan, Cheng Wuting had already expressed his loyalty. Li Shimin dared to use Wei Zheng, why can't Wu Zetian use Cheng Wuting? Even if Cheng Wuting cannot use it, why did he force Hei Chi Changzhi to death? Later, Tang Xiujing and Chen Daci killed thousands of Tubo soldiers, which can be called a great victory, and it is not as good as my small battle in Dongjian Valley. However, the defeat was a big defeat of tens of thousands of hundred thousand."
Wang Ju's comment was very pertinent. Some people used military achievements such as Goryeo, Su Dingfang and others to force Wu Zetian. That was Li Zhi's life, would it be better to control the overall situation?
Zhao Xu was so happy.
"Therefore, even a person like Xiao Yanyan, is not scary. She has a Han status and can be used. In the opinion of the minister, the court must first revise internal affairs and solve financial problems. As for the Western Xia, it can be eased a little. Once the finances are turned around, you can take it slowly, but you must not expect peace to be the most important thing."
"You said it very well. It seems that if the country has military affairs in the future, you can ask me." Gao Taotao said.
She didn't ask how to solve the finances. Of course, Wang Ju couldn't say it either. Who did you say it to Zhao Xu? So would Gao Taotao have an idea? My husband was not dead yet, so you showed it to my son. In addition, his resume and age also made him unable to say it, which was too weird. In any case, there was no hurry, so I couldn't say it.
But after hearing this, Wang Ju was very nervous and hurriedly said, "If you have military affairs, please ask Mr. Han, who has been in the northwest for a long time. Besides, I also asked the queen not to make me a military minister. I am a scholar, not a military general, nor a military minister."
