Yelu Xiu Ge gradually stepped down from the altar of gods and believed that many people in the Liao Kingdom felt sad, but for the Song Dynasty, it was a joyful thing.

Moreover, the troops used in this battle were very small and the time was very fast, which means that compared with last year, the cost was also saved, with only a little pension and reward costs, and the national finances were not tight.

Since the failure of Qigou Pass, this high-paid pension and reward system has been attacked by many ministers for a time. The reason is simple, just reward it. People across the country will tighten their belts together to live, but you have to win the battle.

But what happened? Only two civil officials performed well, so why raise so many military generals?

He even kept Song Jiu's position.

If he was defeated, no matter how Zhao Pu used his means, Song Jiu would never end up with Hou Mochen in taking advantage of such a tragic end. But the position in the Western Prefecture may not be able to be saved, and it will be destroyed more. Maybe Zhao Pu has made contributions. Since he took over the Central Prefecture, affairs have gradually become organized, and Zhao Kuangyi is no longer as busy as before. This is his ability. However, the situation where the Song Dynasty became increasingly weak was also created by Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Pu was the main and Zhao Kuangyi was the auxiliary.

However, there are also many problems left over from this battle.

The Liao army suffered heavy casualties, and the Song army also suffered heavy casualties. The main reason was that the troops were scattered in the early stage, and they were defeated by the Liao Kingdom, and many of the casualties were killed and killed. Many people were also suffering. The Reijing North fell. If you don’t want to take back Youyun, you can just dig it. Anyway, defense is difficult. If you want to take over, there is no Guan North and other places as a springboard, it will be even more difficult to fight the Northern Expedition.

Although the great victory in Tanghe brought joy to the Song Dynasty this Spring Festival, Zhao Kuangyi still issued an edict to let the civil and military ministers prepare strategies to control the border.

First of all, Wen Zhongshu asked Shu Zhang first, but there was no highlight. In order to encourage everyone to speak bravely, Zhao Kuangyi gave Wen Zhongshu purple goldfish.

Then go to the book.

In fact, this battle can be seen many problems, such as why the Liao Kingdom wanted to go south, and why Li Jilong did not listen to Zhao Kuangyi's edict and took the initiative to fight but could win? This was not the first time Li Jilong did it, and he violated the edict in the city and in Shuozhou. Moreover, this edict was agreed by Song Jiu. Doesn't Song Jiu understand military affairs? Besides, the combat effectiveness. After several failures, they all thought that the Liao Kingdom was very powerful, and Yelu Xiuge was the god of war, but why did Yelu Xiuge lead the strongest Liao cavalry, and Li Jilong had only 10,000 Song soldiers, most of which were infantry, so why could he defeat him? And he defeated Yelu Xiuge in the longest field battle in the Khitan.

Therefore, Zhang Wei wrote two things in a letter.

It turns out that what China holds is south of the Shuopa, with heavy terrain blocked, deep mountains and valleys, and thousands of miles away. Therefore, Maodun was the dominant emperor of the Dianbei, and only competed with the Han Dynasty to stop. Although the Turks were strong, they could never threaten Heluo. But now they are east of Feihu Pass and are occupied by the Khitan together, with thousands of miles of Pyongyang and unknown mountains and rivers, so the Liao Kingdom can go down as much as it wants.

The second reason is to control it.

There are not many ministers in the court who understand military affairs, so Zhang Wei is not easy to say later. You don’t understand, including Your Majesty, and then set up a formation map in the capital. Instruct the frontline soldiers to fight according to it. Can this work? Those who understand see these bad strategies and have no confidence to fight. Those who don’t understand will fight according to this strategy, and then they will be defeated.

The next is the terrain of Hebei.

There was no choice but to build a fort to defend. Maybe it had a role, but when the enemy came, because of the few troops, the officers and soldiers of the fort had to stay at the fort to not come out. It didn't work, and it happened to be the ones who gave the Liao army snacks. Even because there were few small soldiers in the fort, they were attacked by the Liao army one by one.

This is a bit too much. If there were no such fortresses, the Liao army would have led the Iron Cavalry to the city of Tokyo as early as the previous year, and at least the Hezhou would have turned into ashes.

However, the shortcomings of Zhang Shi's statement are also facts, and the more fortresses are built, the more heavy the division of troops is. However, the Liao army always maintains an absolute advantage in military strength. Are you expecting the miracle of the Battle of Tanghe that happens on the front line?

Therefore, in the face of this terrain and the shortcomings of the general's defence, two major towns were built in Hedong and Hebei, each of which was 100,000,000, surrounding the old towns and the capital of the important towns and the capital of the Chuangchuang Village. With this as the center, we gathered superior forces, then listed beacons and selected elite cavalry as scouts, so that we could gather superior forces at any time and quickly decide on combat and defense. In this way, the disadvantages of the terrain will be reversed and there will be no defects of the general's defence.

And the most rare thing about Zhang Wei was to clearly realize that due to years of war, he had to prepare for both hands. Yan Yun was the gateway, so he should not lose it. But he could temporarily negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom, recover the country first, stop the work of the world, stop the merits of civil engineering, reduce the redundant employees of officials, save the tin and rewards, collect wealth, and train masters and apprentices. Then, in a few years, the country will become stronger, and Your Majesty will personally control the Six Rong, drink the Great Wall, and lead troops to the Shanyu platform, burn the Dragon Court of the Old Shang, and the Wuhuan curtain.

I guess Lao Zhang was also afraid that Zhao Kuangyi would be angry after the memorial was submitted. He would not be able to defend himself from it. He would also build a major city and allocate more military power to the front line. Can Zhao Kuangyi be happy? So in the end, it was your old man who was in charge.

Because of Zhang Shi's shamelessness, Song Jiu always disliked him.

However, this memorial made Song Jiuda appreciate it.

Zhao Kuangyi saw it and his face was calm.

In fact, Song Jiu estimated that Zhao Kuangyi would be good if he didn't have an attack, and Song Jiu couldn't help but have fun.

Zhang Shi said a lot of the reality that Song Jiu had long considered, such as why he could not win a great victory, but he would not lose a great victory. Does he have military talents? Perhaps, he is similar to Cao Bin, and may not be as good as Guo Shouwen. This is prestige. He has a status and orders, and he is not afraid of death, which will move the soldiers. Therefore, he will be ordered by the superiors and subordinates, and there will be no phenomenon of loose sand in Qigou Pass.

But how many people in the entire country have this prestige?

Zhao Pu has, but does Zhao Pu understand? He will be worse than Zhao Kuangyi if he goes down, because he is more arbitrary than Zhao Kuangyi. However, for others, even Zhang Qixian can't do it.

I have clarified some of the autonomous rights of military generals in each state, but only in each state. If Guo Shouwen believes that Li Jilong is not good in this battle and the two clashes, does Li Jilong have the right to force the order of Guo Shouwen?

Zhang Wei's suggestions did solve many problems in a sense.

But it really reached that point. Think about the Anshi Rebellion? If a powerful general commanded a border army with a strong combat power of more than 100,000, not to mention Zhao Kuangyi. Will Zhao Kuangyin feel relieved?

Therefore, it is a problem that is unsolvable for the time being, and Song Jiu thought of it. But he was thinking about other ways out.

Song Jiu is also reflecting on some of the flaws in the fort tactics.

In fact, after all, the country has suffered heavy losses and insufficient troops since years of war.

However, Song Jiu did something narrow-minded and said, "There are many advantages to Zhang Yu's memorials, and they are written so beautifully. Let me take them to the Western Palace for reference."

The reason why Zhang Wei has stood firm for so many years is his writing style.

Although this article is a memorial, it is written in a cluster of flowers. Anyway, Song Jiu will definitely not be able to write it.

Another article, Wang Yuxi, also presented a memorial.

China suffered from the disease of the Huns for a long time (the Huns refer to the nomadic peoples in the north, not the real Huns). But the wise and wise times were like the Wenjing period of the Han Dynasty, the Shanyu invaded and plundered, and the fire shone on the sweet springs. When the Han Dynasty was in a state of sorrow, there were no good generals outside and no virtuous ministers inside, but the envoy came to pay tribute. Now that the country is strong and not inferior to the Han Dynasty, your majesty is wise, how can you let Emperor Wen? The strong Northern Rong may not be as strong as the Shanyu period. But why does this happen?

It was also wrong. It was not that Emperor Ai of Han and Emperor Ping of Han was weakened, but that Han Wu was weakened and the Huns went to an end. However, since ancient times, many civil officials hated Emperor Wu of Han Wu to destroy the military. Therefore, Wang Dawen no longer mentioned Han Wu.

Therefore, there are five things outside. First, the military situation is inconsistent, and the generals are ineffective. Second, the border ministers are inseparable. The minor ministers are dismissed and the loyal and honest officials are appointed, so that the border situation can be truly reported to the court. Third, the spy is separated from him. The Khitan women are in charge of government and are debauchery and illegal, so they use spies to lure the chiefs in the foreign land with great profit. Once the chiefs are separated, they can be taken. Fourth, they use barbarians to attack barbarians, such as the Jurchens in Liaodong, and they can be allowed to attack Liaodong and give them a horn with the court. Fifth, they issue a mournful edict to thank the border people, encourage the border people to kill the enemy, get one head of the foreign people, and get one horse from the border to pay the price, and get the chiefs and disperse officials, and the people will be brave and the soldiers will be united.

It's a bit novel and cliché.

Will everyone feel at ease when the troops are combined, as Zhang Shi said?

Besides, the border scouts have actually taken great importance. Xiao Yanyan’s style is not good, but her government skills are good. Can she be separated? As for Wu Xuanming’s power, Song Jiu is not using it. In fact, Wu Xuanming’s power has recovered and he wants to try it out. However, Song Jiu used Shi Pu and Yang Liulang to stop it from the air. They have not become truly powerful yet. Now they are shocking the Liao Kingdom, which is seeking death. Then when they are used, this chess piece will not be used. At least it will have to develop for several years, just like the Xixia in history. After decades of development and fighting with the Song Dynasty, the Xixia Kingdom finally rose. As for rewarding the border people, Zhao Kuangyi has done it long ago.

However, this is also a gratifying sign, and more and more literati are beginning to realize some shortcomings in the military system of the Song Dynasty.

There are five internal affairs, and it is a common saying. Secondly, there is a difficult election, suppressing Confucian ministers and encouraging military officials. Some civil officials did nothing, but they were like rockets, and they were rewarded with great rewards. However, the generals were working hard for Your Majesty in front of him, but nothing was left. Will the generals convinced? Thirdly, they are credited to ministers, participate in the task of the security, see what you did in the Northern Expedition of Yongxi? The ministers of the two prefectures said so much, but you don’t listen. One way to plan a plan to divide the troops into the northern expedition. Fourthly, they do not value false reputation, and don’t do anything about the Fengshan Temple and pagodas. That’s useless. The people live and work in peace and contentment. If Yanyun takes them back, you will also record them as a wise ruler in history. Fifthly, they are prohibited from being lazy and harsh on the people, and they will be monks and nuns, and the temples are worshipped, and they will encourage customs and farming. This will be strong in manpower and practical.

These five...

However, it is indeed a current problem. Although Zhao Kuangyi felt a little slapped in the face, he had to sigh deeply on the surface...

Big Mouth Tian Xi wrote a letter.

Now the army is not ahead of choosing generals and commanders. Since you have the generals, you are asked to be assigned and responsible. There is no need to surrender the formation map and do not need to teach the strategy. Naturally, according to the situation, and adapt to the situation, you will succeed and defeat the enemy. Don’t mess with that formation map, will you succeed?

There is also the situation where the East and West Mansions seem to be in a state of union. Can this work?

Liaodong is doing well, but the Liao Kingdom has a large territory and many countries. It is better to send spies to see what other vassal states can get apart.

In the past, Wu Qi was a general and was a general for the soldiers. Huo Qubing was the general. Emperor Han wanted to treat the disease. Gubing said: Why did the Huns do their family before they were destroyed? It is not said that Your Majesty said that the generals and generals are like Wu Qi. Is Huo Qubing? If you see me, there will be no one in the generals. How can you know that the generals and generals are willing to suck the soldiers with the soldiers? If you give them a house, will they be willing to quit? The generals and generals are not talented and have no reputation. How can the Huns be afraid of looking at the wind!

Song Jiu couldn't help but feel happy after seeing it.

What's wrong with Zhao Kuangyi's formation map is really harmful to people.

However, the East and West Mansions never interact with each other. Have you ever thought about Zhao Pu's personality?

As for learning that Wu Qi was sucking carbuncles for his soldiers, who dared? He escaped with tens of thousands of soldiers. Because the people said a few words of thanks, they were immediately frightened to forget their merits and seek guilt. Do you still remember the fate of Cao Bin stopping his preface?

But Song Jiu likes these big mouths.

Perhaps Zhao Kuangyi felt more and more gloomy when he saw these memorials, but Song Jiu deliberately said: "The many memorials, especially Zhang Wei, Wang Yuxi and Tian Xi, are the most gratifying. It is no wonder that Your Majesty appreciates them, and they are brought up from the lower-level officials in various places and placed them on your Majesty's side."

Zhao Kuangyi: “…”

Let’s talk about it, the more the cannons are rumbled, the happier Song Jiu is.

But Song Jiu has not spoken.

A great victory cannot explain anything. It would be better for Li Jilong to be more successful and another great victory. Then Song Jiu can borrow several great victory and launch a series of deepening reforms to the military system again.

With a great victory, Zhao Pu also had to eat, and the east and west governments continued to keep the well water from overflowing the river.

However, Zhao Pu would not tolerate it for too long. As he gradually gained power in the East Mansion, he would sooner or later point his finger at Song Jiu.

However, Zhao Pu was very sad. Others were in good luck when they were prime ministers, but once he became prime minister, the problem immediately came, and the drought came again this year...

In fact, sometimes Song Jiu thought about it seriously and felt that he should give Zhao Pu a big word, embarrassing!
