The top of the Bianjing Imperial Palace was illuminated by colorful fireworks.
Between the light and darkness, the expressions of countless people were frozen at this moment.
Guan Jia just now had a breathless expression on his face, but now he has a clear look on his face.
As for Wen Yanbo, he has the pearls of wisdom in his hands. With this sentence, he defeated the enemy and completely imitated Xie An's original demeanor.
Wu Chong stood calmly behind Wen Yanbo. Zhang Yue was his son-in-law, so of course he was proud of him.
As for the city tower, many people were looking at it.
The official looked solemn and asked in a calm tone: "If the military report is true, I have not won such a great victory since I came to the throne."
Wen Yanbo said: "This is all a blessing to Your Majesty, so the soldiers will sacrifice their lives!"
The official asked: "Is the military report accurate?"
Wen Yanbo said: "The Privy Council has reviewed it. This one is a memorial to Zhang Yue, the general judge of Qinzhou. This one is a memorial to Qinzhou magistrate, Qinfeng Road Manager and Comforter Han Zhen, and this one is from Shaanxi Province." , a memorial written by Han Jiang, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong."
"The evidence is correct."
"On December 13, after our army crossed Ma Xian Mountain, they captured Wadanghui in the border town of Xixia, captured 17 people, beheaded more than 100 people, captured more than 6,000 members of the tribe, and gained tens of thousands of cattle and sheep."
"On December 17, our army entered Ruzhe Valley, captured one enemy chief, killed seven, beheaded more than 500 soldiers, surrendered more than 25,000 people, gained more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and thousands of horses. match."
"On December 19, our army in Guanggu defeated the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Xixia commander Yu Zanghuama who came for reinforcements. We beheaded more than a thousand people, captured 2,500 people, and captured more than a thousand horses."
Wu Chong lost no time and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue, Wang Shao led his army to penetrate thousands of miles, fought three battles and won three victories. It is indeed a great victory!"
The official was secretly happy. He knew not to let his subordinates take him lightly because of his mood swings due to a big victory.
"Wang Qing, what do you think?"
Wang Anshi picked up the military newspaper and read it, then said: "Very good."
Wu Chong held the memorial and said: "Zhang Yue petitioned to confer Yu Longke with the title of official of Xitou, and allowed him to go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit to receive the reward."
"Accurate!"
Wu Chong said again: "Zhang Yue submitted a request to Xinfu Gongbo to give his family the position of military commander and military deputy of the 22 Qiang chieftains, and the monthly payment for materials."
"Accurate!"
Wu Chong said again: "Zhang Yue also submitted a petition to confer the title of Qiao Zong, the Qiang chieftain in the capital. This man has made great contributions in persuading surrender and is also Dong Felt's uncle. Please grant him the title of Ban Zhi of the Right Hall!"
The official said happily: "I've got it all right! If anyone else wants to be rewarded, I've got it all right."
Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's lone army went deep into the army and caught the Xixia people by surprise. They subdued tens of thousands of Tibetan tribesmen and countless cattle, sheep and horses. It is an amazing feat!"
The official was about to speak.
Wang Anshi on the side said: "The new reward from the Tibetan tribe can calm people's hearts, but I think it is not the time to make an official appointment and make a wish. Although this battle was won, it only restrained Zhuo Luo and Nan, Xishou Baotai Supervisor, not Mobilize the military commanders in front of Hengshan and even the military commanders in Xingling and Lingzhou."
"Han Jiang told Wang Shao that Zhang Yue should not be greedy for temporary victory and give up halfway. He must immediately lead his army across the Yellow River and march directly to Lingzhou. I have the same opinion as Han Jiang. It is too early to discuss rewards now."
When Wu Chong heard what Wang Anshi said, he was almost exactly the same as Feng Jing: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao won, but the winners were all the Tibetan tribes in Lanzhou and Huizhou. Western Tibet has always been weak and is far less good at fighting than the Dangxiang people."
"It would be too dangerous for Wang Shao and Zhang Yue to cross the Yellow River alone. Moreover, although Yu and Zang Huama suffered a setback, they retreated to Anxi City and could come back at any time. Instead, they would cut off their retreat and risk their entire army being annihilated!"
In recent years, the Hehuangfan tribe has rarely won against the Song army or the Xixia army.
Not to mention that it is now a piece of loose sand and torn into pieces. Even at its peak, it was neatly cleaned up by the famous general Cao Wei in the Battle of Sandu Valley, and it has been honest for thirty years.
Wen Yanbo repeatedly opposed the strategy of opening up Hehuang. The reason he cited was that the Hehuang and Fan tribes were all scum. If he expected to unite with them to defeat the party members, it would be better to train more soldiers on his own.
Therefore, he always believed that Wang Anshi and Han Jiang suggested opening the border and Hehuang took advantage of the officials' preference for opening the border and their great success.
However, Wen Yanbo still held Zhang Yue in high regard. He made a lot of profits from Zhang Yue's exchange every year, and they were still married to each other.
He thought that Zhang Yue could conquer most of Lanzhou and part of Huizhou, and be promoted and rewarded. As for his original plan to cross the Yellow River to attract the main force of the Xixia people for a decisive battle, whoever took it seriously was a fool.
Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong's only thought was to protect Zhang Yue: "I believe that the new settlement of Lanzhou should appease the Tibetan tribes and win over people's hearts, and they should not take risks rashly. Once they fail, not only will the newly attached people disperse, but they will also lose their troops. Defeated army.”
Wang Anshi said: "Jincheng is still in the hands of Xia State, and it cannot be said that the entire territory of Lanzhou has been secured."
"Besides, those who are good at using troops will not fight for the gains and losses of a city or a land. Zhang Yue and Wang Shao sent troops to Gu Wei to cooperate in capturing Lawu City. If they are afraid of difficulties and do not advance, it will be like wasting all their efforts."
The officials knew that Wu Chong was Zhang Yue's father-in-law, and that Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi were both related to Zhang Yue by marriage, but only Wang Anshi was really considering the outcome.
Wang Anshi added: "Now that I am conducting a brief survey of the Xia Kingdom, my master's attitude is always a childish thing. It is time to learn from it. This is a promising thing and cannot be missed!"
The official pondered for a moment and said, "What Wang Qing said makes sense."
Wen Yanbo knew that he could not convince Wang Anshi and said: "Then I will go back to the Privy Council and ask Zha to quickly urge Zhang Yue and Wang Shao to cross the Yellow River!"
Wu Chong said: "Since we must cross the Yellow River north, I would like to order Qin Fenglu to send troops from Gangu City to Huizhou to respond!"
The official said: "It's accurate!"
At this time, the artists under the city held out two "lantern dragons", which were like flying dragons with thousands of lights on them.
The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is also extremely lively at this moment.
However, no one on the city tower was interested in looking at the scenery. Countless people were looking under the yellow Luo umbrella.
The official saw that the empress dowagers of the two palaces had sent maids to the steps to inquire. The official said: "I will report this matter to the empress dowager, the empress dowager! Let them be happy."
Thinking of the first time he ascended the throne, the official put on a suit of armor and told the two queen mothers about how to improve their martial arts.
At that time, the two queen mothers seemed to think that they were just acting on a whim. At the beginning, they had the attitude of "just give it a try, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed."
But now the officials want to tell the two queen mothers, I am not just saying it casually.
The official looked up at the night sky, his young heart beating vigorously. At this moment, his blood was boiling. I, the Song Dynasty, can also win.
Zhang Qing really did not disappoint me in this Jiangonglan Meeting.
On New Year's Eve and the beginning of the first lunar month, in Gyeongju, a convoy loaded with military provisions and baggage was on its way.
The convoy transporting military supplies came from Longzhou on Qinfeng Road, and the official responsible for escorting it was Longzhou Signing Zhangzhi.
At the end of the second year of Xining's reign, Zhang Zhi came to Longzhou to serve as a signer. He has been serving as an official for just one year.
Zhang Zhi, as a contract signing official, has no complicated business. At the same time, he is also the son-in-law of Lu Gongzhu and Zhang Yue's nephew. The Lu family is such a family, and Zhang Yue knew how to make imperial edicts at the age of twenty-six, and he would become a general or a prime minister in the future.
Therefore, everyone in Longzhou and even in the official circles of Qinfeng Road gave Zhang Zhi three points.
Sometimes when Zhang Zhi wants to do something in office, others will agree to it as soon as he opens his mouth, and there will be cooperation and support from various resources.
Therefore, Zhang Zhi accomplished several things easily, and he will definitely be outstanding in the future when he is working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Zhang Zhi knew that it was his father-in-law or Zhang Yue who said hello, but the disadvantage was that it was too smooth sailing, and Zhang Zhi found it a bit boring.
While in Longzhou, Zhang Zhi made friends with celebrities from all walks of life, went out with them to appreciate paintings, and at the same time visited the people's sentiments and learned about military affairs. The people's livelihood on the entire Shaanxi Road, including Qinfeng Road, was extremely miserable. He sympathized with the people's suffering from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he felt aggrieved by the Song Dynasty's repeated defeats at the hands of Xixia.
Occasionally, when I have free time, I miss my beloved wife and parents.
Three months ago, the officials set up the Xuanfu Division in Shaanxi and appointed Han Jiang as the Xuanfu Envoy.
After Han Jiang arrived in Shaanxi, he ordered the people in various states and counties to make rice cakes, miscellaneous cakes, and wrinkled rice for distribution. At the same time, volunteers from various states were asked to bring one month's rations to the front line for use.
Zhang Zhi couldn't bear it when he found out about it. The people in Longzhou were very poor and had just suffered a disaster. Not to mention the war, they didn't even have much food to sustain themselves at home. How could they carry food for a month?
Zhang Zhi reported the matter to Zhizhou without hesitation.
Zhizhou sighed and said bluntly to Zhang: "This is the order of the Xuanfu Division. I don't dare to say anything, let alone you. Even the Cao Division dare not violate it."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhi said: "Then the official will talk to Cao Si."
Zhang Zhi was very confused and wrote a letter to Shaanxi transfer envoy Shen Qi.
Shen Qi was a little angry after reading Zhang Zhi's letter. It would be fine for the officials below to do the work. No matter what the conditions are, everyone is like you, do you want the transportation department to do the work? Don’t you know where the imperial court’s focus is now? In order to capture Hengshan, it doesn't matter if some people starve to death. If you are timid, don't do anything.
He was going to teach Zhang Zhi a lesson, but Shen Qi later learned about the other party's background, so he wrote a letter back to Zhang Zhi, saying that I didn't understand the situation clearly, and reduced Longzhou's original share by one-third.
This move made Zhang Zhi confused. He had made preparations before going to Shu, but for the sake of the people, he still felt that it was necessary to report the situation in Longzhou.
Unexpectedly, he was not disappointed at all, and the transporter apologized to him.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhang Zhi became famous because of it.
After hearing about this and being demoted to Shaanxi, Sima Guang, the eldest boss of Zhiyongxing Army, personally wrote to Zhang Zhi and praised him.
As a well-known figure all over the world, Sima Guang's praise immediately boosted Zhang Zhi's reputation. As for Zhang Zhi, he couldn't help but smile. In fact, he still supported the use of troops against Hengshan.
What's more, Han Jiang, the envoy of Xuanfu, was the leader of Zhang Yue's official career.
Therefore, when transporting military supplies to Qingzhou this time, Zhang Zhi took the initiative to ask Ying to come and explain clearly to Han Jiang. It would be bad if Zhang Yue and Han Jiang were estranged because of him.
Zhang Zhi walked all the way without incident, so he stopped in a military camp to rest that day.
As soon as Zhang Zhi entered, he saw that the atmosphere in the military camp was very bad. Many soldiers were dejected. Zhang Zhi sent his trusted aides to inquire and learned that Han Jiang wanted to kill the Qingzhou garrison and Wu Kui, the Marquis of Guangrui, while the officers and soldiers in the camp were Thinking about how to rebel.
