At that time, Wang Anshi transferred Wang Ju to the Registration Office, but Wang Ju was not "knowing". Later, Wang Ju went to Qingzhou and was suppressed by Wen Yanbo and others after the victory. Wang Anshi remained silent, so the relationship between the two was very distant. But how did Cai Bian answer?

Wang Ju said again: "According to his statement, there are two goals to fill the country's deficits and fill the national treasury. He did this, and even I enjoyed his favor. If it weren't for the Jiefu Gong's reform, the northwest would have suffered two defeats, even if I initiated the banking department, I would not know that the year would be able to reverse the finances. Without sufficient finance, the successive victory in the northwest would not be achieved at all."

"The second purpose is that the people do not increase taxes and the country uses it for themselves. In fact, it is to use some reasonable methods to increase national income without increasing taxes. However, Mr. Jiefu did not do this. Some reforms are indeed good, but many reforms are indeed to make money."

"Furthermore, what is the treasury full? There are only two purposes. One is to lenient the people. Mr. Jiefu did not introduce any measures to lenient the people. Why is it for the second one? A strong country! However, since you know that a strong country, why even Wang Shao has to suppress it? You must know that Wang Shao was on the front line and went on the battle for the country. He was injured and died of a cervix. However, the jade belt of the official family gave him Jiefu. Is it because Wang Shao did not agree to collect two taxes in Xihe?"

Of course, success is Wang Anshi. Without Wang Anshi's support, Wang Shao could not successfully open up the Xihe River, but defeat was Wang Anshi. Without Wang Anshi, Wang Shao would not die in anger.

However, how Wang Anshi treated Wang Ju not only in military and economic terms. Just because he did not support Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi sat down and watched Wen Yanbo repeatedly suppress Wang Ju. If Wang Ju had not had the means, he would have become the second Zhang Kang long ago.

Then let’s talk about a powerful country!

"But what I want to say is that the status of military generals and ministers in our dynasty is already very pitiful. If it were mediocre military generals and ministers, it would be fine, just like some capable military generals and ministers. The country still has to find a way to protect them. Even if I continue this time and get success by chance, there will be a stronger enemy in the north."

But we can't blame Wang Anshi, we are in the game. Who has such a long-term vision? Are they all Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen in the Romance?

However, Wang Ju also made a fair evaluation: "Although I am different from your father, your father's ethics are impeccable, and the country has indeed reached the point where it is not stable..."

Wang Anshi has made merits and demerits in his life, six points of merit, and four points of demerits. This is Wang Ju's evaluation of Wang Anshi.

Then Wang Ju handled some official duties in Zhongshu and went to the storage area southeast of the capital.

Before Xia received the arrival, Wang Ju gave an order.

First, we will leave the old grains together and prepare to transport them to Shaanxi Road.

Wang Ju used the strategy of Taizu of Song to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin could not defeat Taiyuan three times, so he came up with an idea. Isn’t everyone in Northern Han soldiers? Every time we send troops, we migrate a large number of people from your Northern Han to the Song territory, and in the end there are no more people. See how many troops you can dispatch? So in the end, there were only tens of thousands of people in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyi took Taiyuan one, two or three.

Wang Ju did the same now. After taking Lingzhou, the Song army forcibly expelled the people from Lingzhou to Xiaoguan.

However, after these people migrated to Weiyuan, they should not be allowed to starve to death.

Moreover, there have been many battles in the northwest this year and are about to happen, which also means that a large amount of food and grass will be consumed.

Therefore, these old grains were released from the warehouse and were successively allocated to Shaanxi Road.

Secondly, after all storage warehousings are cleared, high lime is laid below and reed mats are laid to prevent insects, rats, and moisture.

Because Aligu betrayed, it also means that the scale of the war in the future is larger, and what is even more deadly is that Wang Ju is short of time and must resolve these two countries within two or three years. Food and grass will undoubtedly become the top priority.

This is also the reason why the front line's troops were so tight. Wang Ju did not ask the front line's main general to draw a large number of strong men and horses to enter the army. Xia Hu has arrived. If it is delayed in the past ten days, a lot of food will be wasted. A bucket of millet is only ten cents in Shaanxi, and a bucket of wheat is only thirty cents. However, when transported from the Central Plains, even if a large number of prisoners of war were used as labor, the cost per bucket of war also reached 200 cents. This is considered to be Wang Ju's good arrangement. During the Qingli War, due to the urgent time, a lot of waste and greed were generated. Each bucket of millet could reach 400 cents, and the highest was more than 1,000 cents! Moreover, many grains were rotten and moldy years of old grain, or the grain was mixed with a lot of mud and sand.

Then the civil officials said that the soldiers on the front line were cowardly and eating such food, would the soldiers still feel in the mood to fight?

In other words, every household has not collected grain, at least ten stones of wheat. Even if there are five stones of wheat, there are forty buckets (one hu 10 bucket, one stone may not be ten buckets. Douhu is the capacity unit, and stone is the weight unit). Forty buckets of wheat are purchased from Shaanxi Road, only a few hundred cents of money. If transported from the Central Plains, it will be more than eight thousand cents!

This order is not only implemented in the Beijing storage warehouses, but also in various parts of the country, especially in the northwest.

Therefore, Wang Ju deliberately took a look at the implementation of each warehouse.

After watching for a long time, he even punished several dereliction of duty on the spot, and then went to Liminjian.

Kumamoto also wanted to go to Shaanxi Road, but for the time being, Zhang Yu would still have to stay on Shaanxi Road to cooperate with Wang Ju to consolidate the fruits of the war some time ago. It was about autumn that Zhang Yu would go to Shaanxi Road, and Kumamoto left the capital, and then Shen Kuo could go to the Ministry of Works.

But because of the defeat in Yongle City, Shen Kuo, the Minister of Works, was probably over.

During these months, Shen Kuo will continue to preside over the Limin Administration and various research and development.

Wang Ju came here deliberately to answer difficult questions for Shen Kuo and some craftsmen. In terms of specific practice, Wang Ju may not be very clear, but no one can match Wang Ju's theoretical knowledge. However, only by mastering these theoretical knowledge can research and development find the right direction.

Liminjian is debugging new looms. Once they are formalized, they will start to manufacture new looms for the court and transport them to the south.

Wang Ju generals Shen Kuo and the craftsmen gathered one by one, so that they could not understand anything they didn't understand, and some Wang Ju couldn't answer them, but most Wang Ju pointed out the way forward.

After staying in Liminjian for a long time, the weather was almost dark, and Wang Ju returned home.

Fei'er was packing her luggage in the house. In the past, Wang Ju would leave his wife and children in the capital every time he used troops, and acted as hostages in disguise.

But this trick still didn't work, but the family was separated. So this time Wang Ju simply brought the concubine and his son to the northwest. Without it, he would still say what he should say, and he would also find some reasons that he could not even think of, but he would still not say what he shouldn't say.

Fei'er bought a large amount of commercial goods in the capital. This time she asked a ship to take it to the other side and distributed it to her relatives.

Dragon Boat Festival is here.

However, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Ju still did not leave. But it was not Wang Ju who made a mistake. He was leaving, but now many policies were initiated by him. We must explain them clearly. In fact, from the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, Wang Ju no longer handled government affairs, but was just focusing on arranging the subsequent affairs.

Another thing is to wait... and then the next important command!

He did not disappoint. On the ninth day of the fifth month, the news that he was waiting for reached the capital.

But he was surprised by the first news.

The fifth road on the northwest edge of the Xihe Road is Miao Ju. Lanzhou is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road, but it will also be placed in the future, which is Hexi Road. In addition to Hexi Road, there are Lingxia Road and even Qinghai Road. This is also Wang Ju's proposal. If the jurisdiction is divided into two major roads, Qinfeng Road and Shaanxi Road, because the jurisdiction is too large, the first city is too far from the front line. If there is any change, the reaction will be slow and dull and cannot be handled in time. Put it in the hands of the troops of each state, and it cannot be adjusted well. If two major roads are placed on the front line, then the commander's hands are too many soldiers. What if there is any change? Therefore, it is cut into several small roads on the edge, which not only facilitates timely coordination of the forces of several states to deal with unexpected problems, but also prevents some ambitious people from governing one side, and then the Yongxing Army will coordinate in the rear. The northwest will be peaceful in the future.

Therefore, Lanzhou will be very important in the future, and Wang Ju has always pinned Wang Wenyu and Li Xian in Lanzhou. But in fact, the status of these two people is no less than that of Miao Zuo.

Then we went to Zhangyue on Jingyuan Road, Miaosu on Fuyan Road, and there were also one road, Fulin Road, and Fuzhou was a famous general, Zhe Kexing. Linzhou was the number one general in Hedong, Zi Hu. These two people were also very good at fighting.

Compared with these people, Master Zhong is a little incapable of showing off regardless of qualifications or military achievements.

Wang Ju said that after Zhang Yue, the country may reuse the Master Zhong, and it will be followed by generations, but Wang Ju said it doesn’t work and needs to be called out.

Just like Wang Ju said that the eight sons of the Chong family were the most powerful, but for a long time, everyone believed and doubted. No matter how unique Zhong Yan was, Zhong Yan’s martial arts were really powerful. Is Zhong Yan’s strength even more powerful than Zhong Yan?

It was not until the Taoshui victory a few days ago that everyone agreed with this sentence.

In fact, Zhong Shidao performed well in the south, but how many people took the indigenous people in the south to heart?

He also saw that the troops on Hengshan were empty. Not only did the Yanzhou area on Hengshan be empty, but there were not many troops in Xiazhou, Yuzhou, Yinzhou, and the troops left behind in each fort are less than a thousand, and some are only one or two hundred.

Also, the summer harvest on Huanzhou Road is almost over. At least the few winter wheat households have harvested the wheat and barley together. Food and grass are very important. Wang Ju gave this order to the head coaches of the Wubian Road. In any case, the summer harvest cannot be delayed.

But now there will be no delay in summer harvest.

Moreover, after the Qingzhou victory, Wang Ju encroached on part of the Hengshan area in front of Qingzhou, which also became a favorable condition for conquering Yanzhou.

Therefore, Zhong Shidao took the initiative to ask Zhang Ju to send troops to Yanzhou.

Although he was the head coach of Huanqing Road, Wang Ju's edict said that when the war began, Huanqing Road must be controlled by Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing thought about it and agreed.

At the end of April, Zhong Shidao gathered some strong men and strong horses, and most of the troops on Huanqing Road were transferred to the front line of Jingyuan Road to fight. If they wanted to attack Yanzhou, they were short of troops, so they had to gather strong men and strong horses.

Then he talked about the situation to these strong men and horses.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Xia, the most serious loss was Fuyan Road, especially in Yongle City, which almost left the 10-tenth house empty (in the fourth year of Yuanyou, Xixia wanted to surrender and captive civilians in Yongle City for the Mizhisaimen area in Lanzhou. When the jurisdiction was handed over, only 159 people were collected, and only 149 people were handed over. The remaining 200,000 soldiers and civilians were killed. Even if they were taken to the rear of Xixia, they were also tortured in just a few years). The second was Jingyuan Road, which was in the hands of Gao Zunyu, and they were drowned by the ice water of the Yellow River outside Lingzhou City.

So I have to talk about it, otherwise everyone will lack confidence.

Then the three armies gathered, and suddenly the troops came out of Hengshan. Where did the Xixia fight against Hengshan? In just three or four days, the Zhongshidao once again captured Yanzhou, learned Jingyuan Road, forcibly moved the local people to Huanqing Road, and did not have to move to Weiyuan. The two routes in the north were killed and injured. A small half of the families of these martyrs were mobilized to migrate to the other side, and the vacant places were enough to settle the people in Yanzhou. However, unlike Lingzhou, Lingzhou was deeply penetrated into the enemy's belly, and there were more or less some Xixia officers and soldiers in the Helan Mountain area. Therefore, the Song army hurriedly destroyed the city and burned houses and crops, transferred the people, and then evacuated Lingzhou.

The situation in Yanzhou is much better. Zhong Shidao even ordered that they must bring more food to Qingzhou. Then the officials arranged it to disperse to various villages and villages. Even because of the ample time and enough reaction space, Zhong Shidao also mobilized the frontline military and civilians to come to Yanzhou to transport green salt again. Not only did the green salt more or less subsidize some military expenses, the more green salt transported, the smaller the amount of green salt smuggled in the future, which would reduce the income of the Xixia in the future.

However, when the court received the news, the people had not yet moved, nor had they started the front-line military and civilian transport of Qingyan. They had just captured Yanzhou City. However, because they could not withdraw their troops, the Liang family had to sigh in Xingqing Prefecture and watched Yanzhou being captured by the Song army.

This is an unexpected surprise.

What is the biggest surprise in Huizhou?

After receiving news of the Battle of Dingxi City and especially the news of Yu Zanghua Ma's surrender, Liang Yi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

However, their troops are very dangerous now. If they cannot capture Dingxi City, Xixia and Tubo are still fighting each other. It is better for Tubo, especially on the Xixia side, the main army of Jingyuan Road has basically pacified Tiandu Mountain and slowly moved south to Qufu Mountain. There is also a powerful Song army in Lanzhou. From Dingxi City to Pingxi Fort, a large number of Song troops gathered. Tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers stayed outside the Pingxi Fort, as if they were in a pocket.

Even if the Song army did not join the siege, this industry would not do anything.

Liang Yipeng immediately ordered a retreat.

But at this time he did not realize that the danger was coming. After all, there were only so many troops on Jingyuan Road. He divided several soldiers to come to Dingxi City. At the same time, the battle between Mingsha City seemed to have dispatched another 60,000 to 70,000 troops. How many troops can there be left? I am afraid that for this battle, even the strong horses and archers on Jingyuan Road also used them together.

He took it for granted that although the battle was magnificent, he really did not use many strong men and horses, and even agricultural production did not delay anything.

However, it is still very dangerous in this pocket. You must retreat to Hexi to ensure safety. But don’t think about it when you arrive at several ferries in the Yellow River, Lanzhou. The nearest ferry is to retreat from Huining Pass to the north, crossing the Yellow River from the ancient beacon tower on the bank of the Yellow River. This journey is 140 miles long, and it is mostly rugged mountain roads. With the retreat of 100,000 troops, it is particularly slow.

So you have to hurry up, but as long as you cross the Yellow River, the Zhuoluo military supervisor in Xixia is located there, and 100,000 troops will be safe.

The suppression began.

Indeed, during the battle outside Mingsha City, the Song army used 60,000 to 70,000 troops, but most of the troops were brought by Zhang Shouyue and Qin Gui from Huanqing Road. Although Jingyuan Road used some troops and supported several generals and soldiers of the fortress such as Pingxizhai, nearly half of the troops were secretly placed in the Deshun Army.

Huizhou is mostly mountainous areas, and it happens to be the best cover for the army's operations. Just when the Battle of Dingxicheng started, Yao Xiong and Guo Cheng would lead 30,000 troops to travel at night and hike in the morning, and begin to sneak towards Huizhou.

Just when 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xixia were still more than 40 miles away from the ancient beacon ferry, Yao Xiong came out with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Then, Wang Guangyu and Li Xian came from the west with their troops and started fighting.

At this time, Liang Yiji's troops still had an advantage, but their morale was depressed and the two were even. The Song army from both sides also consciously surrounded them instead of fighting for life and death.

As a result, Liang Yibi's army was dragged into this ravine by two Song troops.

The next afternoon, the generals of Pingxi Village and Yu Zanghuama arrived with more than 30,000 troops. With the arrival of this new force, the Song army of the three routes officially launched an attack.

In fact, the Song army is still not as strong as Liang Yiji, but the Song army has won many times, and the morale is high. The morale of the Xia army is generally low. There are even more famous generals in the Song army. Many generals are brave enough to resist. In just a short while, the Xixia army began to retreat step by step. Seeing that their army was about to collapse, Liang Yiji had to order to force the north to break out.

He rushed all the way to the ferry, which was still under the control of the Xixia people. Liang Yibu immediately ordered the crossing of the river.

However, it was just an ordinary ferry and there were not many ferries, so it had to ferry slowly one by one. Later, the Song army continued to attack, causing some soldiers in Xixia to start killing each other in order to rush to ferry.

The more chaotic this, the slower it will be.

It was not until the next day that one-third of the troops were barely crossed.

But even more deadly, the kill appeared.

When Liang Yifu hurriedly retreated with his army, the Song army in Tiandu Mountain also began to march, divided into two groups, one by Miao Lu led the main army to cross the Yellow River. He successively drove out the troops of Xixia in Hexi and Xixia, blocking the Xixia army that crossed the Yellow River. Yao Yi led an army south to participate in the Battle of the Ancient Beacon Tower.
