, I will pick out the actions that have made progress over the past century and find what they have in common. I will also pick out the actions that have failed completely over the past century and look for their common points. Naturally, I can find some explanations... But after all, it is just talk on paper!"

"It's good to be able to talk about military affairs on paper." Zhao Jiu continued to smile. "You just said commander-in-chief, did you seem to mean something?"

"Yes." Hu Yin suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Han Shizhong beside him, but his expression remained unchanged. "In the official family, I just wanted to dance with Xiang Zhuang with his sword and aim at Pei Gong. In his words, he was actually sarcastically admonishing the official family and attacking him.

Commander Xia, the Prince of Yan'an County may act in name only, but you cannot entrust him with the real critical blow, otherwise this battle will be lost!"

Han Shizhong was stunned and was about to have a seizure. When he saw Hu Mingzhong standing upright in front of him, he looked exactly like Zhu Gaozhen in Huaishang.

"How do you say that?" Zhao Guanjia, who looked curious, couldn't ask further.

"So that the officials will know that Han Shizhong has always been arrogant and arrogant. It is due to his temperament. He will be complacent after a little achievement and regard the world as nothing. Not once or twice. It is just because of the indulgence of the officials that he can achieve his current status.

That's all." Hu Yin didn't even look at the dumbfounded Han Shizhong, nor did he look at the many generals below Yue Fei. He just spoke sternly to Zhao Guan's family. "And since he rescued him from Yaoshan and became the king of Yan'an, he has naturally been the same.

His old illness relapsed, and the officials who came to Guanzhong this time allowed him a double marriage and gave him a commanding banner, which made him domineering to the point of forgetfulness..."

"Isn't it..." Han Shizhong finally couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly spoke to Zhao Jiu.

But as soon as he opened his mouth and met Zhao Guanjia's half-smiling expression, his heart felt cold and he immediately shut up.

"Why are you forgetful?" After looking at Han Shizhong, Zhao Jiu changed his posture on the stone bench, put one leg on another stone bench in front of him, and started pressing on the spot.

"I only want to say one thing. It is clear that the officials have already made arrangements for this Xixia incident. The troops, horses, commanders, and deputy commanders have all been arranged. As a minister, he actually wants to force the position of commander, which is extremely treasonous!"

"I don't know!" Han Shizhong looked pale and knelt down directly in front of the sacrificial house. "I don't know..."

"Get up." Zhao Jiu said immediately, but the smile on his face disappeared at all.

Han Shizhong stood up immediately, even more shocked. While the others were waiting, Yue Fei was speechless and expressionless. Qu Duan couldn't help but turned around and smiled, but quickly looked up to the sky to control his expression. Wang De didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly he gasped for breath; as for Liu Xi, Li Shifu, Yang Yizhong and others, they just bowed their heads.

"Go on." Zhao Jiu raised his hand to signal, but he gestured to Hu Yin.

"Yes." Hu Mingzhong raised his hand and said again. "I believe that the officials have made precise preparations for this westward journey. It is obvious that Yue Jiedu will be the commander-in-chief, Qu Dutong will be the deputy, and Deputy Wang Dutong will be the deputy to carry out the final blow.

But the prince of Yan'an County knew the military plan, but still used the excuse of dispatching the cavalry back to Chang'an to invite him back to the city to ask for the position of commander. This is one of them!"

After saying these words, Han Shizhong's heart became colder when he saw Zhao Guanjia slightly nodding, but Yue Fei and others also took a breath.

"Since the officials had made a decision long ago, they never made a direct announcement. It seemed that they were thinking about the dignity of the Yan'an prince and the country's most famous general. As a result, he actually became blinded by his sharpness and only regarded the dignity given to him by the officials as indulgence. He kept pestering him for half a month...

..." Hu Yin continued to shout loudly, but turned to Han Shizhong midway. "Han Liangchen, I just ask you, you have been working in Chang'an for half a month. If the officials want you to be a commander, they have announced it long ago, but they have not expressed it for a long time.

Do you really don’t understand or do you pretend you don’t understand?! It’s the official family, the other two!”

Han Shizhong opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless and gradually started to sweat.

"As of today, the patience of the officials is running out, and the ministers can't stand it any longer. First, the ministers mocked Han Xin, and then the officials persuaded him to be virtuous. Then they spent a long time until they arrived at the tombs of Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu, but he

I still don’t understand..." At this point, Hu Yin couldn't bear it for the second time, and then turned to face Han Shizhong for the second time. "Prince Yan'an, let me ask you again... Do you really not know about Han Xin and Zhou Bo and his son?"

Han Shizhong must have wanted to understand what was going on at this time. His face immediately turned pale and he asked Zhao Guanjia for an explanation.

But at the same time, Hu Mingzhong kept scolding him one after another:

"For an ordinary emperor, it would be nonsense to kill you based on your arrogance today. But today at the dinner, I didn't give you chopsticks. How should you handle yourself?"

"The officials asked you to study and cultivate virtue. What did you study and cultivate?!"

"It's been like this since Huaishang, and it's still like this today! Do you really think that our civil servants are deliberately suppressing your military ministers in this world? That day, Mr. Zhao was almost shot to death by your subordinates. You really have no responsibility at all? Zhu Gao was arrogant and wantonly killed the generals.

, who are you showing off your prestige to? Master, Meng'er, who are you talking to?!"

"Have you ever made a mistake when the official Jingouzhen promised you the position of king? What an honor and favor it is to give you a flag with a jade belt? A pair of children have only been a few months old and may not have been raised, so they directly promised the eldest son of the emperor to marry your eldest daughter. Princess Yiyou will marry you.

Eldest son... This is basically to smooth out the worries of your death for you, but you are still entangled here. Those who know will naturally know that you have such a temperament, and the world will get used to it! If you don’t know, why not?

Are you worried that you will plot rebellion in the future?!"

"You are arrogant because you are favored! You are arrogant and slow to advance!" Hu Yin said recently, almost gnashing his teeth. Not only Han Shizhong, but also the other military officials present were all horrified. "If it weren't for the officials to protect you, you would still have to do it now.

The overall situation is the most important thing. How can I be impeached in this wilderness? In Chang'an City, I have already thrown my crown into the ground and fought for the Guanxi Fifth Route Transport Envoy. I will also blow you people down in public!

Han Liangchen!"

"I'm calling you!" Zhao Jiu suddenly interrupted.

"Yes." Han Shizhong responded in a panic, and then bravely raised his hand to Hu Yin. "Brother Hu... Hu Caosi!"

"If you continue like this." Hu Yin waved his sleeves and looked at each other, almost hating the iron. "No matter how hard the officials try to protect you, it will be useless... because Han Xin is simply seeking his own death! Zhou Bo also deserves to know what the jailer is doing.

Expensive! Read it carefully!"

"Definitely, definitely, brother Hu, don't be angry." Han Shizhong quickly replied, then turned to Zhao Jiu. "The officials should not be angry either, I am really out of my mind."

"I'm not angry." Zhao Jiu sneered, then stood up. "If I were really angry, would I let Hu Qing come and talk to you?"

Han Shizhong took a long breath and turned back to look at the other handsome ministers who were pinned down by him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't feel embarrassed." Zhao Jiu, who seemed to have sensed Han Shizhong's intentions, bowed his head and took a few steps, suddenly turned back and pinched the opponent's hand, and responded easily. "The war is about to begin, between kings and ministers, between handsome ministers, between civil and military officials.

, should not intensify conflicts...but these discords are destined to be inevitable. Speaking out is not necessarily a bad thing, it is better than going to the battlefield with resentment!"

"I have absolutely no resentment." Han Shizhong quickly expressed his stance. "Hu Caosi taught you the right lesson today. I do not know how to advance or retreat..."

Zhao Jiu held the opponent's hand and smiled, then walked forward. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and gave a brief instruction to Yang Yizhong who had been silent: "Today we have a dinner at the mouth of the Jinghe River, cook that dish."

Come, let Liu Yan bring the Xixia envoys and give them a last meal."

Yang Yizhong handed over his hand and left, but Yue Fei beside him suddenly realized: "I dare to ask the officials, but there is something to say in the west?"

"That's right." Zhao Jiu continued to hold Han Shizhong's hands and nodded frankly. "Shilang Hu has already persuaded Yelu Dashi. The Khitans brought Shilang Hu from Hexi in the name of an envoy. When they arrived at Zhuoluo City in the north of Lanzhou, they could go directly

But Hu Shilang thought that there was a condition for us to attract troops first when we came to Yelu Dashi. He wanted to urge the Khitan people to go back there to report the news and send troops; secondly, he also wanted to go to Xingling area to familiarize himself with the terrain.

, to spy on the arrangements... so I only asked people to come back and report, but I continued to go to Xingqing Mansion with the Khitan people."

Yue Fei paused heavily, and the others immediately realized why they came out to see Changling today... Besides, it was helpless for Zhao Jiu to be so leisurely in Chang'an, because they had to wait for the news from Yelu Dashi before they could carry out their next activities.

, this was forced...and Han Shizhong was even more embarrassed, because it showed that the officials tolerated him until the last moment.

Without further ado, just like that, the Zhao family used Hu Yin to severely dampen Han Shizhong's arrogance, decided on Yue Fei's strategy of making a crucial blow, and then went with a group of civil and military officials to the mouth of the Jinghe River more than ten miles away. And in the Xixia City

Xue Yuanli and his party could not help but be in a hurry. Fortunately, these Xixia people and civil servants were also used to riding horses. However, they galloped and arrived at the mouth of the Jinghe River, which was a full forty or fifty miles away from Chang'an City, and Zhao Guan's family was indeed here.

The picnic is ready.

Of course, I also gave chopsticks to everyone including the Prince of Yan'an County in advance to save anyone from misunderstanding.

As for Xue Yuanli and other Xixia envoys, they were half happy, half worried, half surprised, and half expecting... to be summoned suddenly, who knows what they would say? I hope they are just here to enjoy the scenery.

The difference between Jing and Wei is clear!

"Xue Qing, please look, the Jing and Wei are clearly distinct!" A moment later, under the setting sun, Xue Yuanli, who saw Zhao Song's family for the first time, was a little dazed when he was grabbed by the hands of the extremely enthusiastic Zhao Guan's family, and then he was dragged directly to the river embankment.

To be honest, if it weren't for the red robe and turban on the other party's head, he almost thought he was in a dream... Did he really just come to enjoy the scenery?

"Sure enough, Jing and Wei are clearly distinct!" Xue Yuanli tried his best to speak in extremely standard Kansai Chinese, but he was extremely alert in his heart.

What does this mean? Does it imply that the Song Dynasty and the Great White Kingdom are at odds with each other?

You know, the upper reaches of the Jinghe River are called Baima River, and the end of Baima River is basically within the territory of Dabaigao Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao Guan family just held Xue Yuanli's hand and looked at the water of the Jingwei River, then let go and went back to the river embankment to sit down.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty, Xue Yuanli, did not dare to neglect, and neither did the others. Wu came from Han Shizhong, Wen came from Hu Yin, and the foreign ministers from Xue Yuanli took their seats one after another.

However, after sitting down, the dishes were not served and the drinks were not served, but Zhao Guanjia suddenly looked confused: "Was it Jing Zhi Zhi Wei Qing just now?"

"Yes." Hu Yin cupped his hands and faced each other. "It's both turbid and clear..."

Xue Yuanli also wanted to intervene, preparing to talk about some classical poetry and the like.

But Zhao Jiu shook his head directly, no longer pretending, but directly lamented: "The turbidity and clearness are all Xixia's fault!"

Everyone was stunned, not to mention Hu Yin and Zheng Zhichang, even Han Shizhong, Qu Duan, Wang De, Liu Qi, Li Shifu and other generals from Guanzhong were shocked, and even Yue Fei was shocked.

"Your Majesty!"

"Of course it's none of your business!" Zhao Jiu responded solemnly. "The purity and turbidity of the water are all due to the sediment in it. How much sediment enters the river depends entirely on the lush vegetation in the river basin... The lush vegetation can retain the sand.

If the sand and soil do not enter the water, and the sand and soil in the upper reaches do not enter the water, the river water will naturally be clear. On the contrary, the river water will naturally be turbid... The fundamental reason why the Jing River is so turbid now is that you Xixia people have carried out large-scale construction and reclamation in the upper reaches to clear up wasteland, causing water and soil erosion into the river.

"

This statement seemed to make some sense... Everyone was in a daze for a moment.

And Zhao Guanjia also continued to talk about his fallacy: "As for the harm of turbid water, everyone knows that there is more sediment in the water, and there is more siltation. When there is too much siltation, the river bed lifts, and floods are prone to occur..."

"Your Majesty!"

Is it on us?"

"The Jinghe River in the Tang Dynasty must not be as chaotic as it is now!" Zhao Jiu insisted. "I am not just talking about the Jinghe River. The biggest sin of you Xixia people is actually the Yellow River!"

"yellow……?"

"You control the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River has become increasingly turbid since the founding of the Xixia Kingdom. The lower reaches have been hit by disasters many times, all because you have reclaimed land and built cities in the upper reaches!"

"Your Majesty!" Xue Yuanli was almost sad and angry.

"If you think about it carefully, the decline of the Tang Dynasty may have something to do with the Li Yuanhao clan establishing a foothold in Hetao and then carrying out large-scale construction projects." Zhao Jiu became more and more emotional. "It was your ancestors' large-scale construction projects that caused the shortage of food in Guanzhong. If it weren't for the shortage of food in Guanzhong,
To be continued...
