Zhang Yue warned You Shixiong again. deer

"If you caress me with Xia Bianyi, you will become a queen, and if you abuse me, you will become enemies. This is the common nature of human beings."

Immediately he said: "Cherish human life and show kindness, and the Qiang will be used by me. If I kill too many, they will be driven towards the enemy, making the enemy stronger and stronger."

You Shixiong listened to Zhang Yue's instructions and kept them all in mind at the same time. Although the commander-in-chief talked about a three-point rule, in the final analysis, it still came down to the word benevolence.

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

Later, Zhang Yue received a letter from Han Jiang.

Han Jiang recommended Zhong Er to Xihe as a general in his letter.

Zhong'e was demoted to deputy envoy of protocol and is currently living idle due to the crime of ineffectiveness in the previous battle of Luowucheng. deer

Han Jiang was a good man and a kind elder. He couldn't bear to see Zhong E, who had followed him, depressed and frustrated, so he wrote to Zhang Yue and asked Zhong E to serve in the Xihe army.

Zhang Yue must give Han Jiang some face, and Zhong E is also a famous general.

However, I remembered that he and Zhong E had some minor quarrels before, and his nephew Zhong Shidao was now a famous general in the Xihe Army and was still under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road. Would Zhong E be willing to succumb to his nephew?

But Han Jiang opened his mouth to push people into his side, so Zhang Yue had to listen to the boss. Zhang Yue wrote back to Han Jiang, saying that he could give Zhonge a seat under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road Prefecture.

After receiving the news, Zhong'e led more than a hundred soldiers from the Zhong family to Xizhou. After settling his troops outside the city, he entered the city to meet Zhang Yue.

When Zhang Yue was demoted to Shaanxi, he was the general magistrate of Qinzhou, and Zhonger was trusted by Han Jiang and was under the jurisdiction of Yanyan Road.

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

The road is divided into Qian's jurisdiction, and Bipu informs the state.

He is the governor of Tufu Road, under the jurisdiction of Zhou Qian, and the general judge of Bijie Town.

The governor of the state, the patrol inspector of the state, and the magistrate of the state in Bijie Town.

Inspection inspection, fortress superintendent, village master, and official of the curtain.

A professor of Luzhou studies, an official in Beijing, and a judge in Benzhou.

To select people, compare the state officials.

Therefore, when the two first met, Zhonge was the governor of Lu Qiang, which was equivalent to the status of Pu Zhizhou, which is now the status of Shen Kuo, the magistrate of Minzhou, and Zhang Kai, the magistrate of Hezhou, on Xihe Road. deer

For Zhang Yue Qinzhou Tongfan, that is, Jie Zhenzhou Tongfan, his status is naturally higher.

However, Zhang Yue is now the magistrate of Xizhou, that is, the magistrate of Jiezhen Prefecture, and the general manager of the leading city, while Zhong'e is only under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, which is equivalent to the status of the general magistrate of Jiezhen Prefecture, which is the original post of Zhang Yue's general magistrate of Qinzhou.

What's more, in the Song Dynasty, civil servants were superior to military officials. Although the civil and military officials were at the same level, the military officials were actually a lower level.

In the past few years, the status of the two has become so disparate.

Zhong E is now eager to rely on military exploits to make a comeback, and the side of Xihe River is the place where the imperial court has produced the most military honors. All the generals who want to make achievements rush here.

It seems that Jujuro's official position is now higher than that of his uncle, Zhong'e is really anxious in his heart.

Zhong Eli handed over his notebook at the foot of the White Tiger Hall, and was about to sing, when he saw Zhang Yue walking down the hall in person. deer

Zhang Yue saw Zhong E's enthusiastic face. He was recommended by Han Jiang. If he looked bad at Zhong E, it would make Han Jiang lose face. Therefore, his face was definitely warm and considerate.

Zhang Yue held Zhong E's arm and said with a smile: "Zhang is short-sighted and lacks the support of a famous general like General Zhong. To General Zhong, I am like waiting for nectar on a dry land. You must be recommended by Mr. Han to Xixi." The river really solved my urgent need."

Zhong E had heard about Zhang Yue's treatment of Wang Shao, Wang Junwan, and Zhang's promise. He thought, "This man is not as talkative as he appears. He must be treating me like this for the sake of Mr. Han. If I If you don’t know the severity, you will have no good fruits to eat in the future.

Zhong E is a man who is eager for success. Whether he recruits Wei Mingshan and attacks Suizhou without the permission of the court, or takes extraordinary risks and goes deep into Luowu City to build Luowu City, these are not the actions of ordinary people.

Zhong E understood the importance of propriety, and he clasped his fists in a flexible manner and said, "The commander-in-chief is serious in his words. At the beginning, the general was ignorant of the truth and offended the commander-in-chief. He really deserves death!"

Zhang Yue saw Zhong E's thoughts, and it seemed that he was a sensible person.

So Zhang Yue stopped smiling on the spot and said in a neutral tone: "What are you talking about? Just sit down and sit down."

After Zhong E took his seat, Zhang Yue said: "General Zhong is a famous general. I wonder if he has any good ideas in his mind to benefit the northwest?"

Zhong E said: "Commander Meng thought highly of him, so he boldly said a few words. When he came to the northwest before, he knew that Xizhou and Hezhou have been restored, but the southern Tibetan tribe in the mountains of Taozhou and Minzhou is located in a place with high mountains and deep valleys. , the court is difficult to control."

"E thought that the six villages of Henan, namely Daozhu, Huaiqiang, Dangbiao, Tongsa City and Dongying City, were the important and fundamental places of the gateway to Hezhou."

"You can take what you have, store grain and grass, and raise soldiers and horses. The force will be strong enough to suppress Hebei and Shannan. If the newly attached tribes are slightly alarmed, they will help each other and keep the tribes under control. This is the government."

Zhang Yue looked at the map and saw the six villages. Zhonge pointed at the map himself and said: "The commander-in-chief said that Zhucheng was right at the throat of the Qingtang Dynasty, and the three cities of Dangbiao, Fuqiang and Yigong were all connected by the prosperous tribes and favorable geographical location. Where. Among the six villages, the first one is Yi Gongcheng, and the second one is Jiaozhu City."

Zhang Yue nodded. Needless to say, Zhong'e's generals, entering and building Luowu City was indeed a risky move, but it shocked the entire Xixia and forced Liang Yi to assemble more than 300,000 soldiers and horses to fight. Even so, he still Zhonge won the battle.

If the Khitan had not sent 300,000 troops to threaten the Song Dynasty later, this battle would have made an unparalleled contribution to the destruction of Xia. deer

Zhang Yue listened carefully to Zhong'e's opinion, and then said: "These six villages can indeed control Hehuang in the north and the Shannan Fan tribe in the south. But now, except for Huaiqiang City, the other five cities are all in the hands of the Fan tribe."

There was an almost invisible trace of amusement on Zhong E's face, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "If the commander-in-chief can trust the general, E is willing to attack for the commander-in-chief!"

Zhang Yue glanced at Zhong E and smiled slightly, Zhong E was still so eager to make achievements. It is said in the history books that although corrupt officials are happy with things, it is a one-sided statement made by those in the old party, but it is also reasonable.

Zhang Yue said: "Zhang is happy that General Zhong has such determination, but for the time being in Hezhou, I will not appoint him as a general. I would like to ask General Zhong to be in charge of Minzhou?"

Zhong E couldn't hide the disappointment on his face when he heard this.

Zhang Yue said: "Minzhou and Taozhou are the places in the heart of Xihe, so a famous general like General Zhong must be in charge!"

Zhong'e said: "If the six villages in Henan are taken away, not only Shannan, but also the Qing, Tang and Tibetan tribes will be decided in one fell swoop. Why would the commander-in-chief divide one thing into two to disturb it?"

Zhang Yue said: "If we attack the six villages in Henan, what should we do if the Qingtang and Shannan tribes attack from both sides?"

Zhong E said proudly: "They are all just a mob, and they are not worth mentioning in Zhong's eyes."

Zhang Yue means to eat one bite at a time, first stabilize Minzhou, then take Taozhou, and finally go north to attack Hehuang. Zhong'e means to take the Six Villages of Henan and completely cut off the connection between Hehuang and the Shannan Fan tribe, so that both sides will eventually have to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Is this a smart idea? Absolutely brilliant.

Just as he entered Luowu City and competed with Xixia for Hengshan, it was definitely a military mastery. When attacking a place where the enemy must be rescued, doing one thing is like doing two things, but the risk is not small.

The capture of the Six Villages in Henan, although cutting off the connection between the Hehuang Fan tribe and the Shannan Fan tribe, also meant that they were under attack from both sides.

Zhong E originally thought that his proposal would be adopted and supported by Zhang Yue, just as the officials and Han Jiang had clearly supported him in capturing Luo Wucheng. deer

But when Zhong E saw that Zhang Yue didn't adopt his opinion, he suddenly became confused.

Zhong E thought, Han Gong repeatedly praised Zhang Jinglue for being prudent and prudent, but it seems to me that I am as timid as a mouse and dare not take such a risk. Such courage is no different from that of a woman. But in the final analysis, I still can’t trust Zhang Jinglue.

Thinking of this, Zhong E said bluntly: "I will obey the command of the commander-in-chief. If there is nothing else, I will retire."

"Okay." Zhang Yue nodded slowly.

Looking at Zhong E's leaving figure, Zhang Yue thought to himself that Zhong E still didn't understand the difference between tactics and strategy.

In Zhang Yue's concept, politics must serve the economy, and war must serve politics.

What is the most important core of his Pinghehuang policy? deer

That is, we must never be hostile to both forces at the same time, and at the same time, we must always maintain strategic ambiguity externally. Therefore, it is said that things should be easy first and then difficult, mature first and then learn, and make progress in order.

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

But in this way, even the ants on the ground will know what you are going to do, and the entire strategic intention will be seen through. Xixia will immediately realize it, join forces with Dong Xiang Aligu again, and will never let you take over Hehuang in the Song Dynasty.

With the overall strategy in mind, you can't sacrifice the big strategy to pursue small profits just because the next decision seems to be the right one.

Immediately, Zhonge, as the governor of Minzhou, led two thousand troops to station in Tiecheng.

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

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

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

The leader of the Fan tribe in Taozhou, south of Hezhou, was originally Xibawen. Langgezhan was Xibawen's uncle and the minister of Gu Ming left by the previous leader.

Later, Guizhang Yiqingjie became more powerful, drove away Xibawen, and became the leader of the Shannan Fan tribe. However, the Langgezhan family was quite powerful in the local area, and Guizhang could not eradicate them for a while, but he kept suppressing them.

After the second Battle of Tabaicheng, Bian Sibojie became the new leader of the Guizhang Department and continued to suppress the Langgezhan family.

Today, the Langezhan family could no longer bear it and went down to the Song Dynasty, asking Zhang Yue for protection.

Zhang Yue immediately accepted the defection of the Lange Zhan family, and also promoted him to the inner palace. At the same time, he wrote a letter asking Bian Sibojie why he forced the elders of the clan to leave, and whether he treated the clan members well. At the same time, he also asked the Taozhou tribe whether It is difficult to survive the winter. If you are willing to go down the mountain to the Hezhou plain to survive the winter, the Song Dynasty will provide you with food and horse feed.

Bian Sibojie was speechless for a moment after receiving Zhang Yue's letter. The Langezhan family defected to the Song Dynasty. Zhang Yue took him into custody and made him an official, but instead blamed himself. deer

At the same time, he had to lead his troops down the mountain for resettlement. Did he have any good intentions during this process?
