Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 965 Wang Xiu's wrist and strong decision
It is true that Xia was defeated in the battle, but he was able to catch his breath. With the support of the Jurchen, he stabilized his position. If he launches a war of this scale again, it may take several years.

However, it is impossible for Wang Xiu to wait for three to five years, and the national policy does not allow waiting. He glanced at Wang Zongyin and said indifferently: "Occupying Liangzhou, we can continue to erode Hexi. This is the last step. We have not yet reached the point of defense." .”

Qu Duan's complexion was even worse, and he didn't want to let it go, but Wang Xiu refused without hesitation. He didn't give Xi Shijun any face at all, which was equivalent to not caring about his feelings, which made him very unhappy.

Sometimes, people are so weird, they are prejudiced if they don't like it, a word or a thought can change people's senses, he has a bad impression of Wang Xiu, maybe it's because of Feng Yuan's free and easy, and Zong Liang's Rebuttal, and perhaps Wang Xiu's unabashed words.

"No matter what, we have to take the offensive. The best defense is to attack. Everyone, our goal is Xingqing. This must not be changed, but people can be changed." Wang Xiu made a very domineering decision, and he can't go too far Intervene in military command, but never give up in war guidance.

Moreover, what has been said is very clear, the goal cannot be changed, but the person can be changed, that is, if you are unable to achieve the goal, the court will change generals.

Zhang Min glanced at Qu Duan, his eyes were particularly complicated, and he sighed when he wanted to speak. He didn't dare to argue with the prime minister, and he didn't even have time to cry.

Wang Zongyin smacked his lips, and still argued: "Wang Xianggong, a momentary dispute will affect the three armies. I hope Wang Xianggong thinks twice."

As soon as this remark came out, most of the people present were shocked, even Gao Ping was no exception. After all, Wang Xiu was also the prime minister of the dynasty, the No.1 of the two governments, and an important minister who even the emperor had to respect. , dare to talk about Wang Xiu's emotional conflict, I really don't want to mess around, don't you know, can Wang Xiu really beat him?

The complexions of Zong Liang and Feng Yuan changed immediately, this guy was so audacious, he dared to contradict Mr. Wang Xiu, before they could reprimand him, Wang Xiu smiled heartily.

The corner of Wang Zongyin's mouth twitched violently, he looked at Qu Duan weakly, and said bravely: "Mr. Wang forgives the crime, and the general will judge the matter based on the facts."

"Okay, then let's discuss the facts." Wang Xiu looked at Wang Zongyin coldly, but her face was very gentle, and she said with a smile: "How much manpower and financial resources do you have to invest every year to keep the line of defense? Well, especially Liangzhou. If the Qiang and the captives join forces, how will you defend yourself?"

"This?" Wang Zongyin was stunned. Everyone knew that the party members would definitely fight to the death. If the Song Dynasty wanted to hold the occupied area, it must maintain a strong military force, so there would be battles to fight every year.

"Also, Liangzhou is the place of the Fourth World War. How will Ma Zheng develop? With a surprise attack, you can get back the fruits of your hard work for several years. How about it?"

"This." Wang Zongyin's back felt cold, and the tip of his nose was sweating.

Seeing Wang Zongyin deflated, but seeing Wang Xiu's kind face, even smiling, Qu Duan was a little uncertain.

In the eyes of Zongliang and Feng Yuan, Wang Xiu's expression is definitely very angry, a prelude to real anger, and the following is Thunder's method. They all sympathize with Wang Zongyin, you are right to be a dog, but it doesn't matter who it is Just bite indiscriminately, people who can't even offend your master, just look at you as unlucky!
"Why, you joined the army as the deputy capital, and you don't know how to defend?" Wang Xiu's tone was still calm, but it made others feel chills when they heard it.

Wang Zongyin's face suddenly changed, and Wang Xiu's tone was gentle, but full of sarcasm. When the prime minister accused the deputy capital of the capital for not knowing how to defend, it was no longer a matter of slapping the face. It meant that you were not competent. It's not the same as playing.

Besides, there is another layer of implication in this statement. How did you become the deputy capital and join the army? Isn't there something tricky about it?It is self-evident who is pointing to.

Qu Duan's complexion was not good. Wang Xiu scolded Wang Zongyin, which was tantamount to slapping him in the face. Wang Zongyin was his trusted general, who was there to check and balance Zhang Min.

Just when he saw Wang Xiu Yu Yongxing Army and accompanied him all the way, he was also a little reluctant. Although his attitude was reasonable and well-founded, he was not so respectful. Being pushed into a corner also reflects his cronyism.

Xie Qian had a playful look on his face, that is, the expression of watching a joke, Zhang Min also twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, Xu Huiyan and Li Yanxian watched their noses and noses, and their faces were dull.

Just a joke, at this time, if you don't get into trouble, it's considered righteous, and you can still speak for you?Can the dignity of the prime minister be challenged by a mere deputy capital joining the army?Don't blame others for not helping you.

Gao Ping and Qu Duan were congenial. At that time, he transferred the army to the north. Although it was for the sake of the overall situation, it was also for the sake of getting along with Qu Duan. He didn't want any accidents on the east road. Great feat.

"As a general, offense and defense are necessary. What's the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general? It's all about taking advantage of changes in the battlefield and seizing the momentary vitality."

Wang Xiu heavily pointed at the people present, then eased his breath, and said in a deep voice: "Although the chances of the captives going south directly are not high, we must guard against them. I suggest strengthening the deployment of troops on Fuzhou Road to form a deterrent to the captives. , let them be wary of the flanks, and dare not go south easily."

"Now, our eyes are turning to the vast sea, and the battle of the Dingnan Army has shifted to mobile defense and suppression to consolidate the occupied area."

He didn't beat the dog in the water, that's very boring, even if you suppress Qu Duan, so what?A savvy person wants to use one thing to achieve another. He resolutely gives up pursuing and directly drives everyone's thinking.

In other words, I will not interfere with your military command, but just make suggestions. As for how to make a decision, it is up to you, anyway, the handle is still in my hands.

"Han Hai?" Qu Duan looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, then turned to the map, looking thoughtful.

"That's right, the middle road is the main direction of attack. The army goes up north along Lingzhou and directly attacks Lingzhou, which is their Xiangqing Army, or Xiping Mansion." Wang Xiu's tone is unquestionable, and there is no change in the slightest. mean.

The central route is composed of the seventh battalion of Wu Jie and the eighth battalion of Liu Yanliang. There are three armies of Shengjie, Guangrui, and Yunyi, plus two brigades and towns in Pingqiang City, and more than [-] rural soldiers. It can also be regarded as a relatively powerful force.

However, compared with Donglu, Xu Huiyan's sixth battalion has three armies, Wanjie, Konghe, and Yunjie, and it is embarrassing for Wu Jie to be the main attacker.

Feng Yuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Xiu with excitement and respect.
