Prime Minister

Chapter 825 Name Future Cast
Zhang Yue warned You Shixiong again.

"If you use Xia Bianyi to caress me, you will be queen, and if you abuse me, you will have hatred. This is the common nature of human beings."

Immediately he said again: "Treasure human life, and with kindness, the Qiang will be used by me. If we kill more, we will drive them to the enemy, making the enemy stronger and stronger."

After listening to Zhang Yue's instructions, You Shixiong kept them all in mind and thought, although the commander-in-chief said to divide into three parts, in the end it still belongs to the word benevolence.

You Shixiong experienced it carefully and then went to Minzhou to take up his post.

After that, Zhang Yue received a letter from Han Jiang.

In his letter, Han Jiang recommended Zhong Erzhi to Xihe as a general.

Because of the crime of being ineffective in the previous battle of Luowu City, Zhong Er was relegated to the deputy envoy of protocol and is currently living at home.

Han Jiang is a good person and a kind elder. Seeing that Zhong Er who followed him at the beginning was depressed and frustrated, he couldn't bear it, so he wrote to Zhang Yue and asked Zhong Er to serve in the Xihe army.

For Han Jiang's face, Zhang Yue must give it, and Zhong Er is also a famous player.

But at the beginning, I remembered that he and Chong Er had some minor grievances before, and his nephew Zhong Shidao is now a famous general in the Xihe army, and Xihe Road is under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road, is Zhong Er willing to be inferior to his nephew?
But when Han Jiang opened his mouth to plug people like himself, Zhang Yue wanted to listen to the boss.Zhang Yue wrote back to Han Jiang that he could take a seat under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road Prefecture and arrange it for Zhong Er.

After getting the news, Zhong Er led more than a hundred soldiers from Zhong's family to Xizhou, and after settling his Qubu outside the city, he went into the city to meet Zhang Yue.

When Zhang Yue was demoted to Shaanxi, he was the general judge of Qinzhou, and Zhong Erzheng was trusted by Han Jiang, and he was under the jurisdiction of Yanyan Luqian.

The civil and military officer system of Shaanxi Road is the governor of the capital and the prefect of Bijie Town.

The road is divided into seals, and Bipu informs the state.

The governor of Anfu Road is under the jurisdiction of the state, and the general judge of the state of Bijie Town.

The state capital inspector, the same patrol inspector, and the state magistrate of Bijie Town.

Inspectors, fortress supervisors, and village masters are all officials in the same position.

A professor of Luzhou studies, an official of the Beijing Dynasty, and a judge of this state.

The candidate is Bizhou Cao officer.

So when the two met for the first time, Zhong Er was under the jurisdiction of Lu Qian, which was equivalent to the general notice of the state, which is now the status of Shen Kuo, the magistrate of Minzhou, and Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Hezhou, on Xihe Road.

For Zhangyue Qinzhou Tongjuan, that is, Jiezhenzhou Tongjuan, the status is higher.

But Zhang Yue is now the magistrate of Xizhou, that is, the magistrate of Jiezhen Prefecture, and the head of the leading capital, while Zhong Er is only under the jurisdiction of the state, which is equivalent to the status of the general judge of Jiezhen Prefecture, which is the original position of Zhang Yue Qinzhou general judge.

What's more, in the Song Dynasty, Wen Zunwu was inferior. Although the civil and military officials were at the same level, the military officials were actually inferior.

In the past few years, the status and status of the two have become such a disparity.

Zhong Er is now eager to rely on military exploits to make a comeback, and Xihe Kaibian is the place where the imperial court produces the most martial arts, and all generals who want to make achievements have earned their heads and rushed here.

It seems that Nineteen Lang (Zhong Shidao) is now in a higher official position than himself as an uncle, Zhong Er is really anxious.

Zhong Er stood at the foot of the Baihu Hall and handed over the manuscript. He was about to sing, but Zhang Yue came down the hall himself.

Zhang Yue saw Zhong Er's enthusiastic face, and the other party was recommended by Han Jiang. If he made Zhong Er look bad, wouldn't it make Han Jiang lose face, so his face was definitely warm and thoughtful.

Zhang Yue held Zhong Er's arm and smiled: "Zhang is short-sighted and short-sighted, and he is short of the assistant of a famous general like General Zhong. I can be said to be looking forward to nectar for General Zhong. I was recommended by Mr. Han, Zhixi. River, it really solved my urgent need."

Zhong Er has heard about Zhang Yue's treatment of Wang Shao, Wang Junwan, and Zhang Shouyue. This person is not as easy-going as his face. He treats me like this because of Han Gong's face. If I If you don't know the severity, you will have no good fruit in the future.

Zhong Er is a greedy person, no matter whether he recruits the famous mountain without the permission of the imperial court, invades Suizhou, or takes the risk to build Luowu City, it is not what ordinary people do.

Zhong Er understood the importance of propriety, and he clasped his fists flexibly and said: "The commander-in-chief is serious. At the beginning, he will never see Mount Tai. If he offends the commander-in-chief, he deserves death!"

Zhang Yue sees Zhong Er's heart, it seems that this person is still a sensible person.

So Zhang Yue withdrew his smile on the spot, and said flatly: "What do you say, just sit down."

After Zhong Er took his seat, Zhang Yue said: "General Zhong is a famous general. I don't know what good strategy he has in mind to benefit the Northwest?"

Zhong Er said: "Master Meng valued it, so I dared to say a few words. When I came to the Northwest before, I knew that Xizhou and Hezhou have recovered, but the southern part of Taozhou and Minzhou is in a place of high mountains and deep valleys." , the imperial court is difficult to control."

"I thought that the six villages in Henan, including Gong, Zhuozhu, Huaiqiang (wrongly chiseled city), Dangbiao (Anjiang village), Tongsa city, and Dongying city, were the key and fundamental places for the gate of Hezhou."

"You can take it and have it, and store food and grass, and raise soldiers and horses. Its power is strong enough to suppress Hebei and the newly attached tribes in Shannan. If there is a slight emergency, they will rescue each other, so that the students will be restrained. This is the government."

Zhang Yue looked at the map and saw the six villages, Zhong Er pointed to the map himself and said: "The commander-in-chief said that Zhucheng is right at the throat of Qingtang. Among the six villages, the first is Yigong City, and the second is Jiaozhu City."

Zhang Yue nodded, needless to say about the kind of generals, it was indeed a dangerous move to build Luowu City at the beginning, but it shocked the whole Xixia, forcing Liang Yi to bury more than 30 soldiers and horses to fight, even so, he returned Kind of won.

If it weren't for the Khitan sending 30 troops to threaten the Song Dynasty, this kind of war would have made such an inexorable contribution to destroying Xia.

Zhang Yue listened carefully to Zhong Er's opinion, and then said: "It is true that the Six Villages can control Hehuang in the north and the Fan tribe in the south, but now except for Huaiqiang City, the other five cities are in the hands of the Fan tribe."

There was a barely visible trace of color on Zhong Er's face, and he immediately clasped his fists and said: "If the commander-in-chief trusts the last general, Er is willing to attack for the commander-in-chief!"

Zhang Yue glanced at Zhong Er and smiled slightly, Zhong Er was still so eager to make contributions.According to the history books, although corrupt officials at happy events are one-sided words of those in the old party, they are also justified.

Zhang Yue said: "General Zhong is so determined, Zhang is very happy, but for the moment in Hezhou, I will not appoint him as a general. I would like to invite General Zhong to Minzhou to take over the jurisdiction?"

Zhong Er couldn't hide the disappointment on his face when he heard the words.

Zhang Yue said: "Minzhou and Taozhou are the land in the belly of Xihe. It is necessary for a famous general like General Zhong to sit in the town!"

Zhong Er said: "If the six villages in Henan are pulled out, not only Shannan, but also Qingtang and Tibetan tribes will be decided at one stroke. Why should the commander divide one matter into two to disturb?"

Zhang Yue said: "If you attack the Six Villages in Henan, what should you do if Qingtang and the Shannan Fan tribe attack from both sides?"

Zhong Er said proudly: "They are all mobs, and they are not worth mentioning in Zhong Mo's eyes."

Zhang Yue meant that the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, first stabilize Minzhou, then take Taozhou, and finally go north to attack Hehuang.What Chonger meant was to take the Six Villages in Henan and completely cut off the connection between Hehuang and the Fan tribe in Shannan, so that both sides had to surrender to the Song Dynasty in the end.

Kind of clever idea?Absolutely brilliant.

Just as he built Luowu City, he competed with Xixia for Hengshan, which is definitely a miraculous stroke.Where the enemy must be saved, doing one thing is like doing two things, but the risk is not small.

Taking the Six Villages in Henan cut off the connection between the Hehuang Fan tribe and the Shannan Fan tribe, but it also meant being under attack from both sides.

Chong Er originally thought that his proposal would be accepted and supported by Zhang Yue, just like the officials and Han Jiang clearly supported him in capturing Luowu City.

But seeing that Zhang Yue didn't adopt his own opinion, Zhong Er suddenly felt a little helpless.

Zhong Er said in his heart, Han Gong repeatedly praised Zhang Jing for being cautious and prudent, but it seems to me that I am as timid as a mouse, and I dare not take this risk, such courage is no different from that of a woman.But at the end of the day, Zhang Jinglue still doesn't trust me.

Thinking of this, Chong Er said a little bluntly: "The general will obey the orders of the commander-in-chief, and if there is nothing else, the general will resign."

"Okay." Zhang Yue nodded slowly.

Looking at the back of Zhong Er leaving, Zhang Yue thought to himself, Zhong Er still didn't understand the difference between tactics and strategy.

In Zhang Yue's view, politics should serve the economy, and war should serve politics.

What is the most important core of his Pinghe Huang strategy?
It is absolutely not to be hostile to both forces at the same time, and at the same time always maintain strategic ambiguity externally.Therefore, it is said to be easy before difficult, mature first and then grow, and make progress in order.

With the current strength of the Xihe Army, it is certainly possible to capture the Six Villages in Henan, force Qingtang to the north, and Mintao to the south.

But in this way, even the ants on the ground know what you are going to do, and the whole strategic intention will be seen through, and Xixia will immediately understand it, and join forces with Dong Zhi Aligu again, and will never let you Da Song Quan take Hehuang.

With the overall strategy in mind, you can't just give up the strategy to covet small profits just because of the following seemingly correct decision.

Immediately, Zhong Er, under the jurisdiction of Minzhou Qian, led two thousand soldiers to station in Tiecheng.

This iron city is Shen Kuo's newly built city. It is located at the junction of Minzhou and Taozhou, south of the Tao River, is the junction of the three states, and is a must-fight for military strategists.

After the winter of the sixth year of Xining, the life of the Taozhou tribe became more difficult.

At this time, the guard of Fuqiang City reported that the Langezhan family in Yigong City went down to the Song Dynasty.

The leader of the Fan tribe in Taozhou, south of the Hezhou, was originally Xi Bawen, and Lang Gezhan was Xi Bawen's uncle, and he was also the Minister of Gu Ming left by the previous leader.

Afterwards, Guizhang Yiqing became powerful, expelled Xibawen, and became the leader of the Shannan Fan tribe. However, the Lang Gezhan family was very powerful in the local area, and Guizhang couldn't eradicate it for a while, but kept suppressing it.

After the second battle of stepping on Baicheng, Bian Sibo became the new head of the Guizhang Department and continued to suppress the Lang Zhan family.

Today, the Langezhan family couldn't bear it and went down the mountain to defect to the Song Dynasty, asking Zhang Yue for protection.

Zhang Yue immediately accepted the defection of the Langezhan family, and added an official as the successor of the inner palace. At the same time, he wrote a letter asking why the servant Bojie forced the elders of the clan to leave, and whether he treated the clan well. It is difficult to survive the winter, and whether you are willing to go down the mountain to the Hezhou Plain to bring it for the winter, the Song Dynasty will subsidize it with food and horses.

But Bian Sibo was speechless for a while after receiving Zhang Yue's letter. The Lang Zhan family defected to the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, he had to lead his troops down the mountain to resettle. Was there any kindness in this process?
