Chapter 3 Sand Table Military 㟟�

Hearing someone calling the second son, Wang Bian raised his eyes and watched. A man came from the opposite side, wearing a hat and wearing a big cloak of fox skin. At first glance, he was a rich master. The man went to the king's side to salute and looked up at the king's side pushing the hat with his hand, revealing a round face,

Wang saw that this person was a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him: "You are."

"Your Majesty, you are so forgetful. I'm Jiang Chuan from Linchuan Ruyi Restaurant. When I come to the capital, I want to see you. After waiting for most of the day, I'm finally waiting for you."

Hearing the name of Ruyi Restaurant, Wang Pian remembered that there was indeed such a person. Looking at him from Linchuan, Wang Pian smiled and said, "It was Mr. Jiang. Come with me. I just want to hear about the situation in Linchuan."

"Oh." Jiang Chuan agreed happily when he heard this. He turned around and ran to the front of a ox cart. Half of his body leaned into the ox cart and took a box from it. He turned around and followed the king and others into the palace.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger. The family of the royal palace was busy cleaning up the snowflakes that fell on the slate road. Jiang Chuan followed the king. He looked at the jade trees and silver flowers on both sides of the road with envy. When he walked into the hall, he immediately made people feel warm. Wang took off his cloak and someone immediately came to catch it. Jiang Chuan hurriedly dusted his head and his head had not melted. Snowflakes,

"Please sit down, Mr. Jiang. How is the situation in Linchuan? Look at your face full of spring breeze. I think the business has been doing well in the past few years." The king sat down and asked,

Jiang Chuan replied with a smile, "In the past few years, the merchants in Linchuan have read you well. Now there are almost no messy officials in Linchuan, and there are fewer taxes, and the business is easy to do."

"That's good." Wang Bian nodded with a smile, and Jiang Chuan continued, "However, no matter how good Linchuan's business is, it is not as good as Yongzhou. He is not talented. He also learns others to go south and runs to Yongzhou to open a restaurant around the field outside the city. The business is booming. This is less than a year later than my shopkeeper who has worked for many years. Many, now it's not just Linchuan. I heard that young people in many places say that they go south to Yongzhou, and most of them return with a full load. Some people bring things back from Yongzhou to Linchuan to do business. It seems that anyone who can go to Yongzhou is like coming back with gold.

"Hahaha, that's a good thing." Listening to Jiang Chuan's narration, Wang was very happy,

"Yes, yes, yes, I felt that you were different in those years. You must be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future. I didn't expect that in addition to being able to treat corrupt officials and construction, I'm sure that Linchuan can have a great prime minister..." Jiang Chuan couldn't help praising,

Wang Zong smiled slightly. Jiang Chuan was right. Linchuan was bound to have a big prime minister, but he would definitely be his father Wang Anshi first. Seeing Jiang Chuan holding the box in his hand, Wang Zong smiled and said, "Os, you don't have to praise me. What's wrong with me?"

"Hey hey," Jiang Chuan also smiled: "In the past few years, the merchants have a lot of money, and they always want to show their gratitude to the prince, but when they send gifts to your house, your father refused to accept anything. I heard my son say that you issued a Yongzhou construction debt. We guess we are afraid that the prince will use money. There are not much and a few people have collected some. It happens that I'm here. Visit relatives in the capital, and the villagers will entrust me to bring them to you. He opened the box as he spoke. There were a lot of silver tickets and a few ingots of gold in it, and it was handed to the king.

"Thank you for me. I can't accept these silver pieces." Wang Zong smiled,

"Your Majesty, you can't tell everyone clearly if you don't take me back. Don't you think it's too little?" Jiang Chuan asked with an embarrassed face,

"Well, now the court is issuing Song bonds. I'll send someone to take you to Jia Xian, the manager of Taibao Bank. These two banks can be exchanged for bonds, which can not only let you go back and talk about the past, but also increase the income for everyone. What do you think?"

"Oh, thank you very much, my lord. On behalf of the merchants in Linchuan, I thank you." Jiang Chuan was so happy that he couldn't match his mouth,

Wang asked He Zhu to take Jiang Chuan to find Jia Xian. As soon as the two left, Wang Yuanze came to the hall and said happily, "I knew it was better, brother, you can do it."

"My brother is so happy. It seems that there is a happy event." Wang looked at Yuan Ze with a smile,

Yuanze rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Yes, with the appointment of the imperial court, I don't have to go to Jingde County. I can stay in the capital."

"Oh, what is the official position of the imperial court appointing the brother?" Wang is not pretending to be stupid. These days, he has been busy issuing bonds and preparing to meet the enemy Xixia. Although he knows that Zhao Yu has been appointed to Yuanze again, he is really not very clear about the official position of Wang.

"Prince Zhongyun and Chongzheng Hall's story."

The king listened and smiled. The prince Zhongyun was the fifth grade, and the Chongzheng Hall was also an official name. In the first year of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty (1034), it was set up to tell the history of the emperor, explain the scriptures, and prepare consultants. The academics of Hanlin's academics are for those who speak and read, and those with low official rank and have shallow qualifications are told the storytelling, although However, the official rank is low and the seniority is shallow, but it is indeed around the emperor. If you can explain the history book to the emperor, if the point of view can be recognized by the emperor, the future is also unlimited.

"My brother is knowledgeable, and it's not worth my brother's experience if he can have this official position. This is not my way for me. This must be said to be the approval of the emperor."

Wang Yuanze blinked: "Brother Xian, you'd better keep your words to tell outsiders. Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Without you, I'm afraid that you have now come to the deep mountains and forests." He just smiled when he saw that Wang Bing didn't say anything, and knew that Wang Bing also acquiesced to his words: "Okay, go ahead with your work. Fan Chunren and Zeng Bu are drinking in Jinxiu Building tonight. If you can come, we will practice it for you."

" OK, I'll try my best. You don't have to wait for me." The king promised,

Yuan Ze walked out of the door and said, "I know, you are a busy person."

Wang shook his head. Now he really wants to drink freely with these brothers, but he can't help himself in the court. He can't help sighing. The bodyguards came to report to General Yue Li to see him. Wang said, "Please invite General Yue to the study."

Yue Li followed the guard to the study next to the king. The king was standing in front of the desk. Hearing Yue Li coming in, the king turned around and said, "General Yue, I haven't seen you for many years. It's always been good."

Yue Li hurried forward and bowed: "Your Majesty is safe and sound." The king asked Yue Li to sit down, and the two of them exchanged greetings. After not seeing the king for a few years, he couldn't help sighing the passing of time. Yue Li, a young man who was energetic in those years, is now old. His slightly red face shows a little mature, and the beard on his lower forehead makes him look calm and heavy.

Thinking that Yue Li was Yue Fei's grandfather, the king couldn't help but be in awe, but he was even more honored to be called a brother. He ordered someone to have tea, and then said, "Brother-in-law just arrived in the capital. It's hard all the way."

"Where, I dare not neglect this time when I was ordered by the emperor to go on an expedition. I am particularly happy to hear that the army is the prince. It is also my honor to fight side by side with the prince. I came to come to the prince today to discuss our march plan. I will leave the day after tomorrow. I have finished the count. This time, I will lead 30,000 reinforcements to the reinforcements to the extension. State, just wait for the prince to give an order.

"Brother-in-law, you are the commander-in-chief of this dispatch. How can you wait for my order?" Wang said with a smile,

Yue Li also smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not as good as the commander-in-chief. You have much combat experience. This departure is so urgent. I'm afraid I'm not thoughtful."

Wang stood up and said, "Okay, let's not be polite to each other. Brother-in-law, come with me." He said and walked towards the wing room. Yue Li followed the king into the wing room. As soon as he entered the door, Yue Li was stunned. There was a strange decoration on a large table with a four-chapter table. The size of the decoration was as big as the big table. There were edges around the decoration. Inside was the shape of the terrain made of sand, and there was some ground on it. Fang also planted some small flags,

"This, what is this?" Looking at the king walking beside the decoration with his hands behind his back, Yue Li asked in surprise,

"This is called a sand table."

"The sand table."

"Yes, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and the local tyrants around Wudu in the eighth year of Jianwu of the Han Dynasty, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice as a valley and pointed to draw the situation", which made Emperor Guangwu suddenly have the feeling of "captive in my eyes". It was the sand table of the ancients. It was too luxurious to use rice to make a sand table. I asked Zhang Ping to restrain the two generals. According to the map of the border between Yanzhou and Xixia, do you think this thing is very intuitive?

"High, high." Yue Li raised his big finger and praised, "It seems that the prince has worked hard early. I'm also worried that I haven't been to Yanzhou and I'm not familiar with the terrain for fear of making mistakes. That's why I want to ask the prince to order."

The king pointed to the sign on the sand table and said, "General Yue, you see, there are 17 villages in Yanzhou, from the northwest of the village to the second village of Huaining Suiping, which are the key to guard the imperial guard. These two villages are 40 miles from Baicaozhai in the east, 40 miles from Shihuzhai in the southwest, 40 miles from Suizhou in the north, 40 miles from Huaining Village in the west, and 50 miles from Qingjian City in the south. Now There is a kind of Yi town guard in Yanzhou, which is said to be as solid as a golden soup; there is Zhe Kexing on Qinfeng Road to guard Luzhou Bazhai, which is not a big problem for the time being; there are seven villages in Weizhou: the most important of which is Dingchuanzhai, the area of Liupanshan in the west of Dingchuanzhai, 40 miles to the state in the east, 20 miles to Zhaolinzhai in the west, 30 miles to Yizhou Zhishengguan in the southwest, and three miles to Dongshanzhai in the north. Ten miles, this is the place where Li Liangzuo often attacks in Xixia. There are all kinds of guards here, and I'm not too worried about it. Look at the eleven villages of Yuanzhou, including Sanchuan villages, between the three rivers of Shulongchuan, Tianmachuan and Wuyan. In the northwest of Miao'e Mountain, you can enter Tiandu Mountain Road in the northwest of the area of Miao'e Mountain in the west. You can reach Lingwu, the land is wide and flat and beautiful water grass, to Tianma River in the west, and to Ding in the north. Chuanzhai, go to Haoshuichuan Baili. This is where Li Liangzuo always gets it. Since we are reinforcements, my idea is that we will go to Sanchuanzhai. At the same time, let Wang Shao launch Tubo to harass Xixia Xiliangfu, distract Xixia's attention and buy time for our reinforcements.

Yue Li's eyes were straight. When Wang said, he said with admiration, "Okay, my lord, I, Yue, have nothing to say to you. In the prince's opinion."
