Chapter 1,250 Remonstrance

Before Zhao Xu could become happy, Sun Gu bowed again: "This time Duke Wen has purged the officials in Hebei, just like the autumn wind sweeping the court, which shows that the job is not afraid of complexity and complexity, and it is important to win people."

Here it comes again! Zhao Xu had a headache when he heard this. Sun Gu had been coming to see him every chance he had since May, and he wanted to release Su You.

Sure enough, I heard Sun Gu continue to say: "There is no time for things to happen on the battlefield. If there is a flurry of feathers and letters, the victory or defeat will be different, and the decision is made at the last moment, who will be responsible for it? If the generals and officers do not accept the kindness, who will be responsible for it on the day when the troops are handed over?

Serve your orders?"

Zhao Xu was still lying: "Shen Kuo is still negotiating with the Xia people. It's unclear whether they can fight or not. Why are they talking about this again?"

Sun Gu said anxiously: "You must know that it is easy to raise an army, but it is difficult to solve a disaster. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, how can it be treated like a child's play?"

"I would like to ask you to slow down the management of Western affairs. We must have no choice but to attack them first and divide their territory so that their chiefs can defend themselves. Your Majesty denounces Li Sheng's remarks as a stupid plan. Please go away sincerely."

Zhao Xu shook his head: "No. Mr. Sun, you are an old minister of Qiandi. You must keep an eye on the Privy Council for me."

Sun Gu said: "Cai did ask someone to cross the river directly, just to cater to the Holy Heart. Does he really understand military affairs? But I think your Majesty's wisdom is getting stronger. He will send troops after the autumn ripening, right?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "No, there is no agreement."

Sun Gu stamped his feet and said: "Your Majesty, you still want to hide it from me at this time? I am at the center of the army and can't ask for help from the army. Isn't this a dead meal? Today's measures in Western Xinjiang are not preparing for the war every day. Thirty

Tens of thousands of troops have been accumulated for one year, and the transportation of vehicles and ships is like geese and ants gathering together. How can we still hide it from the old minister?"

Zhao Xu could not deny it, so he had to say: "The hoarding is all wheat and millet. Duke Fu said that wheat can be accumulated for three years and millet can be accumulated for ten years. Even if war breaks out in five years, we will be prepared in Shaanxi."

Sun Gu shook his head: "Your Majesty can't deceive me. This month, Jiawu, Fuyan, Jingyuan, Huanqing, Xihe, and Linfu Road will give you gold and silver belts, cotton coats, silverware, saddles and bridles, and elephant wats."

"Yongxing Military Road reports that the forts around the city have been completed. However, the only weapons for city defense are crossbows such as the big and small cicadas. According to the "Wu Jing Zong Yao", the three-bow and eight-ox crossbows can shoot more than 200 people.

To move forward, use a spear, three swords and arrows, which are the most powerful weapons and can be used both offensively and defensively. Please ask the armorer to give you three pairs of crossbows and arrows, and go to the same route to prepare the same for emergency use."

"The military supervisor said that each crossbow weighed more than a thousand kilograms and was difficult to transport. I wanted to deliver the sample to Shen Kuo and ordered him to build a courtyard on this road."

"Ding Si, the Privy Council received the emperor's approval again, saying that the war cavalry on the roads is very large, and it is particularly urgent when the army is rising. The supervisor can recommend Guo Maoxun, the inspector of horse buying in Shaanxi, to quickly handle the recruitment and buying with Langdu, and go to various places

Governor's interest."

"He also ordered Xi, Qin, and Feng to buy a horse farm, pay a horse price to pay for the scene, Qingyi, the party branch, etc., and ordered the envoys to return to Tibet to report."

"If these are not preparations for war, what are they?"

Zhao Xu said: "These are normal military preparations. The Military Aircraft Department has drafted a training plan and needs this support."

Sun Gu sneered: "Your Majesty is really tough-talking. Please punish Shen Kuo strictly!"

Zhao Xu was shocked: "Why is this?"

Sun Gu cupped his hands and said: "Shen Kuo awarded 40,000 yuan without authorization to the Yongxing Army volunteers who bravely went to Tibet. Later, he wrote to the Privy Council and said that he would award the reward twice this year, first to the forbidden army and then to the familiar Tibetans. And the voluntary archers along the border roads were given 40,000 yuan.

I have not been rewarded for my horsemanship, so I am anxious. Therefore, I urgently transferred money and silk to the Secretary's warehouse to comfort me. Please pay it from Yuanfeng warehouse later."

Zhao Xu said: "Then just arrive. The Privy Council will fill in a document and complete the procedures."

Sun Gu sneered: "Is it so easy? Since His Majesty insists that there is no emergency in Western Xinjiang, the Privy Council cannot follow its authority."

"Shen Kuo did not follow the regulations and did not report back when he was not in war. He rewarded the market favor excessively and had ulterior motives! I asked for an imperial edict to put him in prison and punish him in order to serve as a warning to others!"

Uh?! Zhao Xu is completely stupid, he can't live with it now!

Sun Gu said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I do not have to stop the Western Expedition, but the army cannot advance westward without a commander. But who is your Majesty who allows this?"

Zhao Xu gasped: "If we really get into a fight, I think Li Xian can do it, right?"

Sun Gu shook his head repeatedly: "If we ask eunuchs to do the important thing of conquering the country, which scholar-bureaucrat is willing to use it?"

Zhao Xu said: "Then uncle Gao Zunyu."

Sun Gu still shook his head: "Gao Zunyu is a military official. Let's not talk about how to check and balance him. As for his military achievements, most of them are from recruitment."

"The Xia Kingdom is different from the Qing Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty wants to annihilate the Xia Kingdom, and the Wei name is the Liang family. He will definitely gather heavy troops to fight and will not be recruited."

"Gao Zunyu can only command 50,000 troops. He has never fought against a strong enemy in his life. He is not even as good as King Li Xian, Zhongzheng. Why does your Majesty think he can win?"

"Commanders on the West Road, Fan Chunchun, Lu Huiqing, Li Ji, Shen Kuo, Xu Xi, hehehe, I would like to ask, have they ever fought?"

Zhao Xu's face darkened, and he was obviously unhappy: "After all, Mr. Sun, you still want to thwart my plan, right?"

"Back in Qiandi, didn't you teach me to always remember the shame of the country and to be a diligent and promising king in the future?"

"I have been preparing for this for more than ten years. Now I have enough troops and good morale. When we are about to go out, are you telling me that we can't do anything?!"

Sun Gu took off his futou and slowly knelt down: "I have advised you to advance with heavy troops now. If you don't have a general, if you succeed, the troops will be in chaos."

Zhao Xu said angrily: "If you don't like Li Xian and Gao Zunyu, then there will be no one!"

Sun Gu said: "I discussed with Lu Gongzhu, the Privy Councilor who is Tongzhi. Since there is no one, it is better to do it. Otherwise, the army will be leaderless, which will lead to disaster!"

Zhao Xu said: "Mr. Sun, have you ever thought about it? Xixia is in chaos now. If I don't take it, the Liao Kingdom will take it. How will the Song Dynasty deal with it then?"

"Today's matter must be done. This battle must be fought whether it is fought or not! This is the time when we work together as one, but you are still thinking about the choice of commander-in-chief?"

Sun Gu said firmly: "What your Majesty said is wrong! If you don't win, it's really better not to fight. This is something that even a three-year-old knows. Your Majesty has never considered the possibility of defeat?!"

Zhao Xu resisted and said: "The Military Aircraft Department, Duke Fu, has already made all the plans!"

Sun Gu's expression immediately relaxed, and he solemnly raised his hand to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty just said that there is no one, isn't this right? There is no Su oil in Western matters, and I will never rest assured."

"Since Your Majesty said that Duke Fu had already made all the plans, it shows that he was wise and thoughtful, so why not let him out?"

"The old minister asked your majesty to set up Yongxing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan, Xihe, Huanqing, and Yanyan six routes to manage and appease the envoys, follow Wen Yanbo's example in managing Hebei affairs, and grant him the important task. He immediately rushed to Shaanxi to take charge of military aircraft and plan.

Big picture!”

"This..." Zhao Xu hesitated: "Mingrun has worked hard for many years and traveled north and south for the Song Dynasty. Now that I see the restructuring is coming, I still want to reuse him and enjoy a few years of prosperity and comfort."

"I... I can't bear to let him out at this time... Also, I also want to educate the prince..."

"Your Majesty!" Sun Gu's white beard and hair were fluttering, and spittle flew everywhere: "This is a national war! Looking around the world, can your Majesty find someone more reassuring than Su Mingrun?! The prince is only four years old this year, and he has not yet left Mengdu.

For two years, couldn’t we tell the priority at a glance?”
