Chapter 267 Let's discuss the strategy to go to the south

The king gave Hou Shuxian, Zhe Kejun, and Chen Kang called to a place. After introducing each other, he sat down. He told several people about his trip to the south to search for book scrolls. It turned out that Wang's trip was entrusted by the prime minister. Everyone was very surprised, especially Chen Kang. He didn't expect that he had sent the book to the right person, but this How to hand over the book? You can't put all the responsibility on the prime minister who edited the book. Isn't that bad luck?

Next, Wang asked Chen Kang to tell the origin of these books. He was stunned by this matter. Even Hou Shuxian frowned and felt that this matter was not a small matter. He made it clear the reason for his trip to the south. Next was Zhao Zhong's question. Wang asked Zhe Kejun to talk about how to come with Zhao Zhong's needle. Sichuan,

Originally, Zhe Kejun and others planned to return to Yanzhou for the Spring Year. Unexpectedly, there were frequent wars at the border. Emperor Li Liangzuo of Xixia sent troops to harass Jingzhou and Yuanzhou on Qinfeng Road. The emperor sent Wang Wuji, the deputy envoy of Wensi, to send an envoy to Xixia to Xixia to stop Li Liangzuo, but Liangzuo refused to accept the emperor's edict. They were worried about their families. It was safe. At the same time, he was worried that the emperor would temporarily send Wang to the front line and hurriedly take his family back to the capital. After arriving at the capital, he heard from General Manager Lu that Wang's itinerary had not changed, but he would stay in Linchuan for more than a month, so they rushed to Linchuan. When they left the city, they met Zhao Zhongzhen, who left the city privately, and they must go with them. In this way, they Day and night rushed to Linchuan with Zhongzhen,

Wang listened and did not meditate for a long time. He said, "Li Liangzuo, this is not a simple harassment this time. Jingzhou and Yuanzhou on Qinfeng Road are very close to the good Shuichuan battlefield where Li Yuanhao defeated the Song army. If he removes these places, Qin Fenglu will have no strong barriers to guard."

Hou Shuxian shook his head slightly, "Sir, Xixia's attack on Qinfeng Road may not have a turning point, and it is not a top priority."

Wang didn't want Li Liangzuo and the Song Dynasty to really go to war. His own business was only on the one hand. On the other hand, once the war started, it was not good for both countries. What's more, he didn't hate Li Liangzuo in his heart. Hearing Hou Shuxian say so, he hurriedly asked, "What Mr. Hou meant."

"If I remember correctly, when the prince was sent to Xixia, Li Liangzuo had an alliance with the Song Dynasty. After the new emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, the business of the consultation was not going too smoothly. In addition, the prince resigned from the official position. Presumably, Li Liangzuo did not convince him in the Song Dynasty, so he sent troops repeatedly. As for him He wants to give up the near and seek the distance this time. He doesn't fight the Yongxing Military Road, but harasses Qinfeng Road. Presumably, there must be places in Yanzhou and other places that he doesn't want to invade.

Wang's side still agrees with Hou Shuxian's analysis. He also thought of these himself: "Mr. Hou is right. Li Liangzuo has always had the idea of invading the Song Dynasty, but when he first ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable. Although the Western Xia occupied all the land, it did not occupy the sky. The trade between the two countries was also to strengthen their national strength economically. Now When the new emperor of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, Emperor Yingzong wanted to break the consultation again. Li Liangzuo was at a bloody age. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity, but I still think that as long as Liao is not causing trouble in the north at this time, I am afraid of Xixia's current strength.

"What the prince said is very true. Now that the court has issued an imperial edict, let's wait and see what happens in Xixia for the time being. What's more, it does not rule out that the border generals deliberately do it. It is normal that there are some minor frictions on the border between the two countries. Now in the court and China are unstable, and the officials have different political opinions, so it is inevitable that some people will be deposed. At this time There are some big or small things in the situation, which can just divert attention.

"Yes." Wang's eyes lit up: "Even if it's not what the generals did, Li Liangzuo may not be honest. He tossed around like this, and the focus of the court shifted to the border of Songxia. Maybe the ministers were indignant and increased their cohesion. However, this people who always wiped their guns suffered the people on the border."

"Wipe the gun and go off." Hou Shuxian frowned,

The king smiled: "This is the tactics of war..." He said to his heart that Mr. Hou is knowledgeable and the analysis of things is quite in place. I hope he doesn't understand the art of war,

Hou Shuxian really praised: "The prince still knows a lot. I am ashamed of myself in this aspect. I admire him."

"Well, it's nothing. Let's just wait and see what happens in Xixia. Let's talk about King Ying. Do you think I should take him or persuade him to go back." Wang is really a little uncertain about this matter. If something happens to him, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed in his own hands, not to mention that he will ascend the throne, and his father will change the law. However, I advise him to go back. This boy is usually gentle, but his idea is very righteous, and it may not be easy to persuade him.

Hou Shuxian smiled and said, "Sir, King Ying is a good thing for you."

Chen Kang and Zhe Kejun, who are here, have just listened to Hou Shuxian's words and have been convinced of the new shogunate. Now hearing what he said, Chen Kang can't help blurting out, "It's a good thing. He is the first to know the secret here. In case he reveals all about this matter, it's not a good thing to offend the prime minister or to bully the king."

Wang knew that he had always been timid, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Hou, where did the good things you said come from?"

Hou Shuxian explained unhurriedly, "Sir, you think that if you find or can't find the lost volume, you will be in trouble; but if King Ying found it with you, the meaning is different." When Hou Shuxian said, there was a smile on the corners of his mouth,

In a word, Zhao Zhong, the king of Ying, can solve the crisis of the volume, but in this way, we must take King Ying to the south: "Mr. Hou reminds that in this way, in case King Ying leaves the capital without permission, won't we hide?"

"What did the prince say? King Ying is not a criminal. We just need to ensure his safety. The merit is no better than the savior. The prince is an escort this time. Moreover, King Ying came to find the prince, not the prince instigated him out of the capital. At that time, I'm afraid the emperor will not blame you if he will safely escort King Ying back to the capital."

Wang looked at Hou Shuxian. No matter what he analyzed, he was very thoughtful about himself. He patted his thigh and said, "Yes, let's do it, but I can't tell him about the few volumes of gunpowder at first. Now is not the time to find a way to present them together when I get the Guangnan Records."

Hou Shuxian laughed and said, "Sir, you understand that small things are confused, and a land chronicles are not a difficult thing. That's just a coincidence. If Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang doesn't talk about Guangnan Dizhi, how can he send the prince to Guangnan, state capitals, all armies, and any place can't summarize a land?"

"Damn, I've been fooled." Wang scolded that Zeng Gongliang was really an old fox. He was in vain for his wisdom, but he didn't understand this little thing: "Thanks to Mr. Hou's reminder, otherwise I would be entangled in how to find the earth." Wang scolded Zeng Gongliang and hurriedly thanked Hou Shuxian,

The king set a trip and seize the trip to the south. It is necessary to go to the south. Moreover, in case the court sends someone to find Zhong Zhi, Zhong Zhi is still in Linchuan, and his father will be involved in the crime. Fortunately, Cai Jing arrived in Linchuan the next day, and he also brought his brother Cai Bian, Cai Bian Shi stayed in the house from Wang Anshi. Wang Bing ordered Cai Jing to return to the capital to inquire about the news, and told Cai Jing not to disclose Zhao Zhong's whereabouts.

Everything was ready to go on the road, but there was a small incident before leaving. Li Ding, the new county magistrate, met with his teacher Wang Anshi. When he heard that Wang was leaving Linchuan, he came to Wang's house. When Wang saw Li Ding coming in person, he ordered people to hold a banquet and drinking. Su Xiaomei and Zhong Pin came, but Zhong Pin did not lead. According to Li Ding's attention, Su Xiaomei, who was dressed as a man, couldn't help letting Li Ding look more and immediately made friends with this handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

Originally, Li Ding was not malicious. Su Xiaomei obviously felt that this occasion was not suitable for her. She found a reason to leave. During the banquet, Li Ding went out to solve it. When he came back again, he heard it by chance. Zhong Zhi said that he wanted to promote Su Xiaoxiao's official position. This young Zhao Yu may be a nobleman who can promote people as an official. It's strange, but Wang Bian said repeatedly, "No, no." Now Li Ding is a little strange. Wang is not a stingy person. He slowed down and listened carefully.

Wang and Zhao Yu whispered something. Li Ding didn't hear it, but suddenly heard Zhao Yu say in surprise, "What, he is a woman, brother Wang, I see. Do you like her?"

"There is no way. After all, his brother Su Zizhan and we are friends. We can't be sorry for our friends, can we? Besides, we have to be righteous in everything. After all, they are waiting to be married. I can tell you. She doesn't know that I have seen it. I will tell you that I will take you as a brother. In the future, we will go all the way, but There can't be any misunderstanding.

"Good, okay, hey hey, I have your secret, and you have my secret." Zhao Yu was a little drunk. He smiled innocently. Wang was relieved. He just saw the two people coming back together. Zhao Yu was the same as Su Xiaomei's buddies. If there was a misunderstanding, it would be more troublesome. In case he really returned to the capital to recommend Su Xiaomei, then Su Xiaomei was even more guilty of bullying the king.

As the saying goes, there are ears on the wall. Their words were just heard by Li Ding. Li Ding was in his early twenties, and he especially had a good impression when he saw Su Xiao. At this moment, he knew that the other party was a woman. Hearing them mention Su Zizhan, Li Ding admired him very much. Li Ding is a proud person, although he is only a nine-grade at present. County magistrate, but he believes that as long as there is Bole, there must be a day for him to stand out. Besides, it is also a good thing to be able to get close to Su Shi. When he returned to the table, Li Ding couldn't sit still after drinking a few drinks. He said that the county government has something to leave in a hurry.

After the episode, the group of people hurried on the road in less than two days. More than half a month later, they came to Shaozhou. At this time, the spring flowers were blooming everywhere. Everyone was walking and enjoying the scenery. It was so comfortable. Zhao Yu was even more happy. At this time, they did not know that a battle for the throne was brewing in the capital, and The people sent by the emperor who were about to catch up with Zhao Yu wanted to bring a murder to the king,
