After looking at the bed sheets, a few peach blossoms were brightly red. A pair of mandarin ducks closed their eyes slightly, shyly unable to bear to see the scene just now. The rest were normal.

Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is Xing'er?"

"She has gone to the front house." Fan Yuer said uneasyly with his head down.

When Zheng Lang came to the front house, the candle was still on. Not only Xing'er was there, but several concubines, Cui Xian, Si'er and Huan'er were also there, and Sanniang was talking and sobbing. Before Zheng Lang went in, it was probably Sanniang and Si Niang who called Xing'er to go back to her parents' home tomorrow to prepare a gift. Then when he talked about the aunt and Erniang, the few people stopped talking, and they were talking about the sadness.

I sighed, but the helpless thing is that when people get old, they will die.

He walked back and said to Fan Yuer: "What happened today cannot be told to others."

"Yes." Fan Yuer nodded heavily and said, "I'm so worried..."

"What are you worried about?"

"What will happen again in the future..."

"No, I will pick you up when the mourning period is over. No matter what happens, I don't know what your family is thinking, and I want to be my concubine..."

"You came in." After saying that, like a rabbit hiding in the grass, Fan Yuer shrank his head into his chest.

I pushed the door and didn't count it. I knew it. I just bumped into it, but I didn't use any force. However, why did she sleep in the crib and not leave? Or was tired or intentional... I didn't think much about it, but there were too many things that happened. I had been hanging for several years, and no one was worried and had no idea. I said: "Come."

Fan Yuer walked to him hesitantly, and Zheng Lang said, "You are not young anymore. We don't have a bed in the same bed when it comes to sex, so I can't say it."

“Same.”

"Even if we have passed the same thing, you don't know. You will have a chat with Cui Xian tomorrow, do you know?" She had to figure it out. Otherwise, she would be worried.

...

Two top-secret characters with red tops were placed under the eyes of the door, and they were not negligent at all, and they were handed over to the inner palace.

It was indeed a top secret memorial, otherwise Zheng Lang would not dare to be so grand. Although Zhao Zhen trusted him, he had to know how to behave.

It is about the Khitan and the Western Xia war.

Zheng Lang expected some mistakes, and in history it was a war that occurred from September to October last year. Zheng Lang thought that he had made some pushing moves, and he would only advance and not back down. The result was delayed.

I don't know where the error happened. Then the two empresses passed away. Zheng Lang was discouraged and did not ask any more questions. It was not until a month ago that he handed over the two books and was slightly cheered up. He asked a question. He contacted the prefecture and the province. Only after getting some information did he know the whole story.

It’s still the Battle of Sanchuan Village.

In history, Yuanhao's Sanchuan Village had a great victory, and his confidence was extremely inflated, so he became unruly and the Khitan was furious. He mobilized many troops to attack. However, this time, Yuanhao's Sanchuan Village suffered a great defeat, and his confidence was low. The domestic division was divided, and the people were living in poverty, which made him lose confidence. Including the margins, there were many small-scale invasions in history during peace talks, but this time it was gone. It was very quiet.

The Khitan asked about the Dai'er tribe and beat his envoy. Yuan Hao kept swallowing his anger and humiliatedly returned some of the people of the Dai'er tribe to the Khitan. He also sent an envoy to seek peace and offered a batch of expensive gifts. Of course, these gifts would not be in the eyes of Liao Xingzong. No matter how expensive they were, would there be the 200,000 yuan added by the Song Dynasty?

This humiliating peace-seeking caused a split within the Khitan. The Khitan beat the envoy again and bombed the Xixia people back to Xixia, and continued to force the Xixia people to hand over the remaining rebels. But as the weather gradually became colder, delaying the attack.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had already negotiated peace with the people of Xixia. With the gift of the country to deliver the money to Youzhou, the money from Zhongdong also arrived in Xiazhou. Xixia was eager to transport 70,000 stone of salt to the security army and exchanged a large amount of supplies through the court. The two countries were peaceful, and the people in Xixia began to feel at ease. A large amount of supplies arrived, prices fell, and some reserves were also added, and Yuan Hao became more confident.

This person is the biggest freak of this era.

This is not only for the Song Dynasty, but also for the Khitan.

It is not my fault that my attitude is a little tough. I kindly help your country to quell the rebellion, but the Luohans abused my subordinates. The Dangxiang tribes brought back were handed over to your country. There are no people in the country now, or they all died in Sanchuan Village, which has nothing to do with me. They were killed by the Song people. As for peace talks, we have already formed peace talks with the Song Dynasty, and you Khitan has no reason to attack our Xixia.

The words were quite respectful, but not as good as the previous few times.

Finally irritated the Khitan.

After receiving the news, Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the victory of Sanchuan Village would bring some impact on accumulation. As long as the Khitan and Xixia did not become enemies and continued to be connected like before, it would be impossible to destroy Xixia.

I was also glad that I had made various arrangements, and fortunately agreed peace with the Western Xia in time, and the young ignorance of the Khitan young emperor, otherwise the Khitan and the Xixia people would not be able to fight this time.

But it is definitely a good thing.

I would rather not know the direction of history than hope that the wheel of history will continue to develop along the original track, otherwise the beautiful time of the Northern Song Dynasty will only be eighty years...

These things will not be said in the memorials, but are the following.

The terrain determined to deploy troops. If the Khitan wanted to attack Xixia, he could only launch an attack from the east. The Bubu tribe also had some roads to reach Helan Mountain, but the roads were far away, mostly desert areas. If you go to smuggle and carry enough water bags and forage, you can escort hundreds of livestock without knowing it and sneak into Xixia. It is impossible for the army to invade Xixia from the west. Unless you detour into the Uighurs, it is impossible to teach Yuan Hao a profound lesson.

The Yellow River on the east road is divided into two. The terrain of Beihetao is flat and can be blocked by mountains. It is inconvenient to transport food and grass. Only one auxiliary cavalry can be sent to go deep into Helan Mountain. When encountering the main army of Xixia to resist, the Khitan army on the south road meets and crosses the Yellow River, the two armies attack. However, the main army must start from the south bank of the Yellow River. If the main army on the Xixia is here, the northern army crosses the Yellow River and attacks again.

It has nothing to do with the Battle of Hequ in history. First, the Yellow River is only a few hundred meters wide at this point, the water is flat, and it is easy to cross the river. Second, the political center of Xixia is chaotic. First, Xingqing Prefecture, Xia Youyinyan is also the old nest of Xixia people, which determines that the Jiuqu area of ​​Nanhetao is the main battlefield where the war is most likely to break out.

In history, the Khitan military arrangements were not wrong this time. What was wrong was that they underestimated the enemy and ignored the wind and sand factor.

Xiao Huicai can only do this, a second-rate general. How can he ask him to pay attention to wind and sand?

This time, the Khitan troops were gathering one after another, but Xiao Hui was still the one who had received great attention from Liao Xingzong before he took off his glamorous coat.

The second is time. It must be in autumn. There are a large number of Han people in the Western Xia and Khitan, all of which are semi-cultivated and semi-cultivated countries. Even under the leadership of the Han people, farming is more important than pastoral status. After all, farming can feed more people. Yuan Hao also built several water conservancy projects to facilitate irrigation and planting crops. The same is true for the Khitan. A large number of farmland appeared in the Sixteen Prefectures in Youyun and the southern part of Liaoning. Zheng Lang was also hesitant.

Japanese rice.

The Northeast used to become a great northern desert, mainly because of low agricultural output. It was not until the Japanese rice was caused by the cold-resistant rice that the agriculture developed. Japan had planted a large amount of rice at this time, but for nearly nine hundred years, no one thought that it would introduce rice from Japan to the northeast. Although it could only be one season. Once planted in the northeast, the black soil in the northeast would have higher crop yields than Henan and Hebei. It would have two consequences: the Khitan is richer and has a larger population. The Khitan came down from the horse. The soldiers would be cowardly. Zheng Lang could not distinguish between profit and harm.

If you want to conquer the Western Xia, you must dispatch a large army and wait for the autumn harvest to have sufficient food and grass. Moreover, in autumn, the sky is high and the air is cool, suitable for Khitan cavalry to fight. Although the grass on the ground is yellow, horses can barely eat it, and there is no need to carry a lot of horse materials.

Therefore, the Khitan and Xixia became in trouble again at the end of last year, but they delayed until after this autumn.

Then write about the relationship between enemies and friends.

The Song Dynasty today is quite similar to later generations.

Whether it is Jiaozhi, Dali or Tubo, the Meishan barbarians in China, or the big barbarians in Kuizhou Road, they are not enough to harm them. Although Tubo is powerful, it has caused serious divisions and is too busy to take care of itself. How can he have the courage to invade the Song Dynasty? Moreover, there is a common strong enemy of Xixia. Tubo is not enterprising, and even without Xixia, it is not very harmful.

The headaches are the Khitan and Xixia.

Xixia is very similar to that country of Japan. It is shameless, shameless, and greedy. No matter how good they are, it will not be satisfied. If they are not good, they will be even more revenge. There is no cure for it. But there is a more annoying country behind it, the Khitan.

But how did the Khitan see? He wanted to be the boss and let him do it well, so why bother to fight for this pseudonym? Satisfied his vanity. As long as he did not deal with the Song Dynasty, no matter they sent troops to Xixia, Uighurs or Goryeo, he ignored them, and even flattered them a little, provoked their warlike spirit, and weakened their national strength. Therefore, he could temporarily join forces with them and be a false friend. This is the master diplomatic technique, which is the way to attack friends as mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

After analyzing these, we have the following plan.

The center of gravity is.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he passed on several prime ministers, but now the court has almost been cleaned up. No one has ever been on the front line, and he doesn't understand the military and is silent.

In fact, it has been debated once before this.

There is no controversy over the two books of Zheng Lang, but they just think they are too magical. They think they are so knowledgeable, and they call out some doctors who are proficient in arithmetic from the Imperial Academy. After turning them over, they are all dumbfounded. Some people are not convinced and use Zheng Lang's formulas to calculate, compare, and take out abacus and calculation sheets to verify. In fact, this arithmetic has a great flaw, such as Zheng Lang's trigonometric function table that Zheng Lang has not downloaded to the hard drive, so Zheng Lang must not be able to figure it out, so he can only point out one direction. The problem of the basic function is not clear, and it will become a problem at the later level. But it has already drawn the era.

After a few days of fiddling, dozens of doctors were convinced that they could make textbooks and teach students in the Imperial Academy. In fact, these doctors wanted to take the manuscripts to the Imperial Academy to study them slowly. There was no taboo in arithmetic, but the latter ones didn't know what to do.

I have said a lot, but not much. They are all basic geology, physics and very superficial basic chemistry knowledge. Relatively, physics and chemistry are definitely more important than geology. If you really learn geology well, just one finger, you can clearly understand where there are minerals and how much storage is?

But everyone focused on this geology. As for Zheng Lang's saying that I was Confucianism, it was the study of things and the study of things to lead to knowledge, no one paid attention to it. No matter what kind of knowledge you have, as long as you have one finger, there is gold and silver, the Mohist family is also a good thing.

I thought that if I learned it well, I would get this knowledge. I would definitely send someone to learn it, but what should I do if I could send those people to learn it and it would be spread out?

But it may not be a good thing...

Life and death are still in the middle of the line.

Because there is a person in the court...

After reading the memorial, Jia Changchao finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I am worried about peace between the two countries. Since Fan Han left the court, some controversial laws have been abolished, the country has been peaceful, and the pressure on the people has been reduced year by year."

Wu Yu stared at Jia Changchao dissatisfiedly.

We can't blame Jia Changchao. Ouyang Xiu also said that Wang Yaochen was very capable. He was in the Three Divisions to make the country's finances improve quickly. But he forgot that in the past, the three Divisions were maintaining the expenses of the huge Northwest Battle and stopped fighting. If the Three Divisions were operating abnormally, the country would be almost finished.

Jia Changchao was also saying similar things.

God is also strange. The gentleman leaves the court and the country is in good weather.

Therefore, in Eryingge Dingdu talked about the "Who can cook fish and irrigate the pots and sell them?" Zhao Zhen asked: "Is it the same thing for me to say that governing a big country, if I cook small fresh food, is it the same?"

The question was taken out of context, and the meaning was very different. Ding Du replied seriously: "If you are irritated by cooking fish, you will be broken; if you are irritated by treating people, you will be scattered. This is not because of the profound knowledge of the sages. Why do you have to make it clear that the ancients wanted to seek governance?"

The two of them were desperately misinterpreting, one was wrong, the other seriously misinterpreted my original meaning. I said that you should be careful in governing the country, and Ding Du misinterpreted it into harshness. Your Majesty, you just need to grasp the outline and you can't continue playing like Fan Zhongyan.

Wu Yu didn't say anything. He was dissatisfied with his heart. He thought that the peace of the country had nothing to do with you. One was peace created by the soldiers, and the other was good weather. The former ministers formulated terms to restore the national strength and then you benefited from it. He actually thought he was a shameless person!

This is Zhao Zhen's technique of balance. Jia Changchao's various methods were known. Zhao Zhen transferred Wu Yu to the East Prefecture as deputy prime minister and also to Kaifeng Prefecture. The technique of balance and restraint was adopted.

Jia Changchao said word by word: "The war is nothing more than icing on the cake, but the matter is leaked. If there is an accident, the two countries will be peacefully disintegrated, and wars in the northwest will continue again."

Hearing this, Wu Yu couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Jia, this is a mistake. Fighting or not fighting is not with me. Our country wants peace and let the people rest and rest, but Xixia will not think so. Once they recover, they must invade the border. If they want peace, they can only take the opportunity to weaken. The weaker they are, the longer the peace can be."

"What do you know? It's ridiculous to lose the Khitan itself!" Jia Changchao snorted coldly.

"If the Khitan wins, it will move, but if the Khitan fails, it will move. If only seven or eight thousand troops are mobilized, what's the harm?" Wu Yu stared at the other prime ministers and thought to himself, how can you say something fair? Otherwise, I would not be the opponent of Jia Changchao.

The reason for thinking this way is that, first, Chen Zhizhong, his son-in-law is Zheng Lang's student, second, Song Xiang, has a good relationship with Zheng Lang, third, Ding Du, and Zhao Zhenjin, and there are two others. Pang Ji is in Yanzhou, and Wang Yiyong is a so-called man. Chen Zhizhong is dissatisfied with the gentleman party, and he has done many bad things in the Jia Chang Dynasty, but Zheng Lang is not a member of the gentleman party.

But he was very disappointed and everyone was silent.

Wu Yu had no choice but to say: "If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, and if you don't decide on external affairs, ask Zhou Yu. The Chief Censor Zhang Fangping returned from the front line, and you can pass it on to Zhang Fangping for inquiries."

There is no such sentence in history. It comes from Zheng Lang's mouth and was once very popular.

Zhao Zhen rumored that Zhang Fangping came in.

Jia Changchao's face turned gloomy, and he thought to himself, this kid was just destroying my platform, can Zhang Fangping shout? He was originally a subordinate of Zheng Lang.

The two will have a fight in the future.

Zhang Fangping glanced at Zheng Lang's memorial and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I think it's a good plan. Xixia is deceitful and cannot trust it. Harmony will not last long. If you want it for a long time, this is a good opportunity. Besides, there are not many troops, so you can sell a favor to the Khitan, so that they can't help us to seek credit from our court in the future, saying that peace was won by their Khitan for our court. Once you participate, this problem will be solved from then on. But the difficulty is the candidate. There is no suitable commander in either Fulin Road or Yanfu Road. Pang Xianggong is good at defending but not good at attacking. The ability to preside over this plan is insufficient..."

There is one candidate, but Zhao Zhen and Wu Yu couldn't help but look at the southwest at the same time, thinking of the word "telling love"... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
