When the ministers heard that Zhao Zhen changed from war to punishment, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zhen said again: "Zheng Qing, you are most familiar with Xixia. After discussing with the ministers, you will hand in a memorial to the palace."

"Here," Zheng Lang had no choice but to answer.

In fact, Zhao Zhen was unhappy when he saw Zheng Lang and was afraid that Zheng Lang would put his hooves on him. Many ministers used all kinds of means for their power. Zhao Zhen saw it, but he would not object. This was a motivation to make good use of it. Indifferent to power, it may not be necessary.

Zheng Lang is the latter. Although Zhao Zhen was relieved, he was so indifferent that he returned to Zhengzhou to retire, and Zhao Zhen didn't like it.

Let's tie him up using various matters first.

When the ministers retreated, Zhao Zhen was angry and happy on the bed, wishing he could fly to Tanzhou immediately and teach his daughter a lesson. But Zheng Lang was safe and safe, and his daughter was safe and sound, and his heart was relaxed. Chapter 731.

All the prime ministers come to the capital together.

Most people know Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Di Qing, Wang Deyong, Wang Yaochen, Liu Han, and Tian Kuang, but Cheng Kan is not familiar with it.

From the list alone, the two prefectures are amazing now. Di Qing and Wang Deyong, both of the Western Prefecture, were famous generals and were familiar with military affairs. Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were famous figures in later generations. Wang Yaochen and the other four were also first-class famous officials, and did not even enter the two prefectures. In terms of governance, these four people were faintly above Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi.

Actually, it is not the case.

Although several people are good, there is a lack of a leader.

Wen Yanbo was originally good, but now he has changed. He is selfish and has a strong sense of power and is not suitable for serving as prime minister.

But fortunately, if it weren't for the Liutahe incident, these prime ministers would have been able to do it.

Not to mention Liutahe, Wen Yanbo asked: "Xingzhi, what does Your Majesty think?"

Zheng Lang knew the reason for Zhao Zhen’s anger, but he couldn’t tell it. He said lightly: “Your Majesty is worried that Xixia will be even worse than Jiaozhi in the future.”

"You can't use troops." Wen Yanbo said. Why did the emperor, who was not a peaceful person, suddenly had the idea of ​​using troops, thinking that Zheng Lang had said something or had any arrangements in the middle.

"Brother Kuanfu, don't worry, I don't like to use troops immediately. Han minister, let me talk about the situation of Xinxia in the West Chapter 731."

Di Qing frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng, I have heard the news recently. After the Western Xia occupied Agan City, he continued to increase his troops, meaning Kan Valley."

It was last year when Xixia occupied Agan City, and Zheng Lang had known it for a long time. Although Di Qing understood military affairs, it seemed to have played a role in the Privy Council, but in fact, what could Di Qing play under the suppression of civil officials? Zheng Lang said: "It was a mistake not to send troops to Agan City at that time."

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were stunned.

Zheng Lang explained: "Daowu has been closely connected with our dynasty over the years. At least in name Agan City is the territory of our dynasty, and Bianwu is even the minister of our dynasty. Xixia sent troops, and our dynasty was reasonable. We all wanted to send troops to rescue us. However, the troops did not send troops, and we did not regard Bianwu as a minister. It was just a joint relationship. No matter how our dynasty and Bianwu were repaired, the cracks would exist. Moreover, the status of Agan City was very important. With it, you could point the two states in Lanhui at any time to cut off the path of the Xixia and Hexi corridor, forcing Xixia to enter Hexi from the desert. However, what is Hexi is? They are all Tubo people or Uighurs from the Liugu tribe, and they have always been dissatisfied with Xixia. Once the important road is broken, the Liugu tribe and the Uighurs will inevitably hold up the banner of resistance. This is an important chess piece I set up before."

Although the Song Dynasty seized large territories such as Huizhou in history, it was forcibly seized from Tubo, and would not have the benign effect of Zheng Lang.

Then he glanced at Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, and the chess piece was ruined.

Wang Yaochen said: "You can take it back."

"It's too late, after I renovated Agan City, it became very tall and strong. Don't underestimate the people of Xixia. Over the years, the Khitan had to reconcile and recapture Agan City. When the morale was strong, the soldiers had been fighting for many years and had rich combat experience. However, the border between us was stable for a long time, and many soldiers were not familiar with the battle. I would lose it and recapture Agan City was irrational. It can be seized, but it cannot be captured at this time."

"If the Xixia people seized the Kan Valley, they could threaten the security of Weizhou from the West." Wang Deyong said.

The best defense in the northwest is Jingyuan Road. In the north, the original arrangements of Zheng Lang were almost abnormal. Of course, it was also caused by the terrain in the north of Zhenrong Village. After passing Liupan Mountain and going south, it was unlikely to be arranged like that. However, the arrangement of the west wing was not very strict. Once the Kan Valley was obtained, the west wing would inevitably be exposed to the attacks of the Xixia people.

Zheng Lang shook his head and said: Wang Xianggong, if Agan City is lost, the gate of Kangu will be opened. If we want to keep Kangu, our dynasty will sacrifice a lot. Unless we will be stationed tens of thousands of troops to the west, it will be worthless."

Once Agan City was lost, it has become passive.

This is the consequence of Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's failure to understand the military. Zheng Lang did not want to mention it more and said to Di Qing: "Hanchen, please tell me about the situation in the West."

Di Qing made a detailed report, and Zheng Lang listened while looking at the big map.

He knew very well about the Northwest.

When returning to Qixing Town from Huixi, Zheng Lang asked Wang Song a lot about the northwest. However, because of his identity, Wang Song didn't know it well.

After Di Qing finished speaking, Zheng Lang didn't say anything and lowered his head to meditate.

He did not speak, and no one else dared to speak, dared to smear Di Qing's face or Zheng Lang's face. At least in three aspects, one is water conservancy, the other is military, and the other is economy.

Zheng Lang thought for a long time and said, "Let me go."

"Let me go?" Wang Yaochen asked in surprise.

"Yes, let go, Yanguo said it is not unreasonable. Although Ye Sila has no unfair intentions towards our dynasty over the years, he has never sent troops to participate in the war and has joined forces with the Khitan. This is the idea of ​​sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. Anyway, the existing cracks cannot be closed, so it is better to let go and weaken some of the Tubo strength. Once our dynasty let go, the blind felt will be defeated. Ye Sila would not have thought that our dynasty would let go regardless of the threat of the Western wing, and Kangu would definitely not defend. If Kangu gets No. 1, there would be two ways to do it.

The first is to deal with the Mozang family. The battle between the brother and sister has become fierce. If the victory is achieved, Mozang Epang will not have another chance in the future. We must defend against foreign countries. Although there is danger in the west wing to be detrimental to our dynasty, if Mozang Epang can kill the Mozang family, it will be more beneficial to our dynasty. Next, Mozang Epang will have two ways: the first is to harass our dynasty, and the second is to march into Hezhou, use the situation of Tubo to split the four-part Tubo, and defeat Tubo, so as to leap martial arts above Yuanhao, he can change the dynasty naturally."

"It seems..." Fu Bi pondered.

"Our dynasty must be prepared in the northwest," Zheng Lang said. Imagine that the northwest is peaceful and peaceful in the past few years. He also said: "As for Tubo, if Wu Zang Epang wants to attack Hezhou, he will only face the fate of defeat. He still underestimated the Lord. As long as this person is here, Tubo cannot be underestimated for a day, and it is fighting on the land of Tubo. The right time, place, and people are both unfavorable to Xixia. Unless this person dies, Tubo will gradually decline."

Everyone nodded.

This is what an expert said.

The main reason is Zheng Lang, who is a civil official, and Di Qing has no golden fingers and cannot say such far-sighted words, but he also said some military insights, but who listened to him?

Only by analyzing the possible trends in the future can we think about how to retaliate against Xixia.

Zheng Lang continued: "Xixia sent troops to Agan City and sent assassins to commit crimes against me. If we do not punish them, Xixia will be less than our dynasty. Even if our dynasty doesn't want to fight, the war will probably come. On the other hand, our dynasty is unprepared, and various defeats will occur at the beginning of the Qingli period. Therefore, the initiative must be controlled by our dynasty."

"What should I do?" Tian Kuan asked.

"First send an envoy to ask him why he was committing a crime against me, and why he was attacking Agan City. But put the crime in front and Agan City behind. Try to slow down, so that Mozang Epang cannot lose his power in the country so that he can attack the Mozang family. If as I expected, after Xixia marched into Kangu, he would send an envoy to ask. At the same time, the northwest defense should be set, and when the dispute between the brother and sister of Wuzang is revealed, the blockade will be blocked and discussed. This will be at least next year, and the overall development of Jinghu South Road will be settled next year, and the generals can draw to the northwest."

Some people didn't know that Zheng Lang had given up on the Fourth Road of Kuixia, and looked at Zheng Lang strangely, but they were not very interested in asking.

Zheng Lang didn't explain much, and glanced at Di Qing with his eyes. He was worried that Di Qing was able to arrange Di Qing. The Privy Councilor was not the work you did, so he should go back to the northwest.

"Send another important military officials to take the lead and force the Xixia people to turn the finger to Tubo. Once the Xixia is defeated, our dynasty will use some excuses to interrupt the year-end gifts. The country's economy will be corrupted. After years of war, although the morale is high, once the family is poor and there is insufficient food and clothing, the morale of the soldiers will decline day by day. However, our dynasty is growing stronger, and Liangzuo gradually grows up and grows up again. Another battle between the two will be hurt. When both sides will be in trouble, they can really start a war against Xixia. However, before this, they must maintain a good relationship with the Khitan, and see if there is a way to continue to instigate the Khitan and the Xixia to break off their contacts."

"But the old empress dowager of Khitan," Wen Yanbo shook his head.

"Don't worry, Xiao Nojin's abnormality is beneficial to our dynasty. She used to be bad for the eldest son, but now she is bad for the eldest grandson. If you support Yelu Chongyuan, there will be a big mess in the Khitan."

After saying that, he left the capital.

In fact, it is a conservative approach, but considering the economy, there was no money spent on Jinghu South Road last year. The Guangdong-Guangdong War used war to support the war, and generally maintained expenditures. The court saved a little, and the Liuta River was used up again.

This year, when there was an accident in Liutahe River, Jinghu South Road was using money extensively, and there was no money to start a war. It was a conservative strategy that could not be allowed.

There is another place where money is money and banks, but the scale of the bank needs to be expanded. When it comes, Ezhou officials once again requested to expand the bank's scope. Moreover, the issuance volume of Jiaozi is also smaller, which cannot meet the needs of the market.

The bank has money and can no longer use it.

Leaving the capital hall and returning home, he sent someone to the Zong family to call Zhong Yi and said to him: "Do you want to go to Jinghu South Road?"

"Think about it," Zhong Yi jumped.

"I think so, I will tell Di Qing that he will transfer you to Jinghu South Road."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng." Zhong Yi left happily. He was still young and didn't know the meaning, but whether it could be successful depends on Zheng Ping's wishes. If he disagrees, Zheng Lang has several other "alternative" candidates.

Then came to Di Qing's house.

Di Qing was overjoyed, opened the middle door wide and greeted him out of the gate.

After sitting down, Zheng Lang asked, "Hanchen, how about coming to the Privy Council?"

"No," Di Qing answered honestly.

"But it's considered as the Prime Minister of the Western Palace once."

Di Qing was happy.

"I'm talking about another thing, Liuta River."

Di Qing was confused. Liutahe was a business of the East Palace and had nothing to do with him.

"Han minister, I am very unfavorable about the prospects of Liutahe. If something happens, it will stop. One accident will cause a lot of controversy and struggle. On the one hand, it is Jia Changchao, Chen Zhizhong and other gentlemen, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and Wang Yaochen. Jia and Chen will use Liutahe to attack Fu Wen and the others. If the gentlemen want to keep Fu Wen and the others, they will definitely divert their attention."

Without analysis, Di Qing would never have dreamed. Once analyzed, Di Qing's color changed.

"Remember, I retired bravely, and I am a real hero just now. Also, if the emperor holds a grand ceremony tomorrow, you will see a scene."

“What did you see?”

“I was impeached by some.”

“Why?”

"I returned to the capital without an edict. It's wrong. It doesn't matter, but I want to go down to see the Liuta River and reject the Liuta River. Do you want to hit me? Then what did I do? You're good at it."

“How to do it?”

"It's true. If I really make the decision, please go to the northwest to guard the northwest gate for this country and your Majesty." Further resolve Di Qing's knot. These generals personally went to fight to kill the enemy, and they were injured. Once they couldn't think about it, various diseases would occur and died quickly. Guo Zhen, Wang Zhongsi, etc. were in front of them, and they couldn't stand this tone. They were cowardly in their hearts and died. Di Qing was the same. Zhao Zhen found something for Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang found something for Di Qing to do to divert his mental burden.

Di Qing was a little unhappy.

Zheng Lang did not advise him anymore, let him think about it first and make preparations in advance. Even if there is a knot in his heart, he will be lighter.

Helplessly, the country's general Qinghuang refused to accept it. Once Di Qing died, no one could lead the army, and Guo Kui couldn't do it. It would be too early to wait for that person in Jiangxi to grow up.

The next day, Zheng Lang did not attend the morning court. He was a foreign minister and could not attend the ceremony. However, he had not left and went to the Secretariat. To read the Sixta River, you must read the information about the Sixta River from the Secretariat. This would make it clearer if you continue to read it.

When the ministers entered the hall, Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon throne and said a few words, but he didn't really recover.

This is a look, and you can speak, so don't worry too much.

I did this by following Zheng Lang's advice.
