War is never led by one side. After the Song Dynasty court meeting, Zhao Zhen issued an order to adopt Fan Zhongyan's active defense strategy. Now that it is the first month of the year and the northwest is still cold, everyone thinks that temporary defense is the best option.
, not only takes advantage of the city pass, but also facilitates supply.
No matter how stupid Li Yuanhao is, he will choose this time to attack. The chill of early spring is still an invisible killing knife at night!
Only Ye An was uneasy. This time, the court proposed that he ask Zhao Zhen for orders to lead troops to the northwest, but the emperor still rejected it. In fact, the best strategy for using troops against Xixia is to attack from the east and west.
With the Huanqing Road troops and horses led by Cao Yi as the east route, and the Ganliang troops and horses led by himself as the west route, a pincer offensive can be formed. As long as Li Yuanhao dares to divide his troops, the pressure on the troops and horses on both sides of the east and west will be reduced sharply, and
If he led his army to defeat one group, the other group of soldiers and horses would rush into the hinterland of the party without any hindrance. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhen hesitated in the end and did not dare to let General Ye An take charge of the troops.
After returning home, Ye An was very depressed. He had a chance to avoid the tragedy of the Song Dynasty losing consecutive battles. Although he was dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty and Zhao Zhen, he still did not want to see the dynasty be beaten by the party.
The best plan has been put forward, and since it has not been adopted, Ye An has completed his mission.
When he returned home, he lay on the rocking chair as if he had lost all strength and refused to get up. He just rocked and teased the child. Qin Mumu saw that he was unhappy and wanted to persuade him, but the words came to her lips.
Not a single word could be uttered.
Both of them had hopes for the Song Dynasty, but this dynasty could crush their hopes again and again. 廻
"If we are defeated again this time, I won't blame you...will you be able to lead the army and go on an expedition then?"
"It is not a good thing to go on an expedition. If the Song Dynasty is defeated again, I am afraid that the northwest will never have peace. With Li Yuanhao's character, he will definitely treat the Song Dynasty as his blood-sucking place, lying on it like a leech and sucking!"
Qin Mumu took the two children away to prevent Ye An from being overwhelmed: "The Song Dynasty is in trouble, which is not a good thing for Ganliang. The war in the northwest is tense, and business will be squeezed."
Ye An shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of this. I'm just worried that someone will take the opportunity to join Gan Liang's army. But right now, no one wants to go, and no one dares to go."
"Why?"
"Because being a general of a group of powerful soldiers, if you are not strong enough, is like being the leader of a group of wolves, and you will only die faster."
Qin Mumu stared at Ye An seriously for a while and then said: "You are not planning to kill those who dare to get their hands on Ganliang, are you?"
"Is your husband like that?!" Ye An said extremely angry and sincerely at the same time, but Qin Mumu knew that he would definitely do it. Anyone who dared to get their hands on Ganliang would die miserably, even Xia Xia
He didn't get any benefits either.
In the middle of the court, Ye An had no friends, not even political allies with relevant interests. In a sense, there were enemies everywhere he looked.
Ye An honestly took care of his children at home, and by the way, he occasionally took the whole family to various tourist attractions in Tokyo. He had seen the Hongqiao Wobo, heard the evening bell of Xiangguo Temple, the sound of autumn in Bianshui River, and the smoke of Sui Di.
Liu Geng has been there countless times, and even took Qin Mumu to see Jinchi Yeyu.
This place is full of beauty in the world, but it is also full of evil in the world. You can smell the prosperity of the prosperous age, and you can also smell the stench of decay of this dynasty.
In the end, it turned into the phrase "the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering"!
Fan Ziyuan's letter came, and he scolded him from the beginning to the end. He could scold him while analyzing the pros and cons at the same time. He was one of the few friends Ye An had in the Song Dynasty who could be close to him.
Ye An smiled and burned the letter. This was for Fan Ziyuan's good. Whoever has a relationship with him now would be truly unlucky. Even Zhang Shixun, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, did not want to scold him for fear of being thought wrong.
Related.
On the other hand, Lu Yijian, who had already retreated to the second line, sent someone to give Ye An a message some time ago: "Wang Zeng didn't suppress you, and I didn't either, but the officials will definitely be able to suppress you, and the Zhe family will be entrenched in the prefecture for a long time.
It’s hard for the court to take action...so you can take care of yourself!"
This old man obviously saw something, but he couldn't be helping him. Ye An knew Lu Yijian too well, and it was his nature to seek the country with age, and he had to beat himself up even before taking up his official position.
Indeed, it is difficult to hide from smart people. The maverick behavior of the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion has made some people suspicious, but they have no evidence. They can be detained for unfounded charges, but the premise is that the other party does not have Ye.
Ann is so huge.
He is already an indispensable presence in the city of Tokyo and even in the entire Song Dynasty. He is like an iceberg floating on the sea. Most people only see the peaks of the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion above the water, but they are not aware of the huge palace under the water.
Shadow, only those who are truly intelligent can vaguely see this behemoth from under the calm water, but anyone who sees the truth dare not speak for fear of waking up this monster.
Zhang Shixun doesn't have such a vision, Li Di doesn't have it, and Song Xiang doesn't have it either. The current Prime Ministers of the Song Dynasty are far less intelligent than Lu Yijian. Even if they are vaguely aware of it, they just feel that Ye An wants to run Ganliang, just like Zhejia runs a mansion.
Same as the state.
However, except for a few heirs who worked for the imperial court, almost all the clan members of the Zhe family were in Fuzhou. Unlike the Yunzhong prefects, Ye An and his wife and children were all in Tokyo, so no one was worried about him.
Seeing the erosion of the northwest, no one asked Ye An to clean up the mess. Even though he had the title of brave champion of the three armies on his head, "Champion General" was a unique title in the army, even better than the general who suppressed the army.
The general of the auxiliary country must be more fierce, because the word "champion" is his most powerful explanation.
People in Tokyo will never understand how vast the world is, because the prosperity here, the power here, and the number of people here have reached an abnormal level. Everyone is accustomed to thinking that Tokyo Bianliang is the whole world.
But in Ye An's view, this city is also on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the four canals of water transportation, the entire Tokyo city would be paralyzed. Tokyo city is not a large capital city, and it is too small compared to Chang'an city.
, but the population is so huge that it cannot be increased. Every day, water ships are transporting food to the city of Tokyo, and all kinds of pigs and mutton are also transported into the city. The Song Dynasty can cut off everything except water transportation, but this city of Tokyo
The things that everyone from the emperor to the common people depended on for survival were slowly decaying.
At the end of the Song Dynasty, ministers attached great importance to water transportation, dredging water transportation ditches, repairing Yellow River dams, and even used various methods to wash away the silt in the Yellow River channel. Unfortunately, they forgot the most critical point, human governance.
Where there are people, loopholes will appear. This is a lesson Ye An learned in his previous life, and it is the same in the Song Dynasty now.
So no one noticed when Xuan'er took the heirs of the Marquis's Mansion in Yunzhong County and jumped on the boat. No one noticed when the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion returned. Even Chen Lin found them leaving at night.
"Why?!"
Looking at the empty dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, Chen Lin let out a rare roar. He had not been so angry for a long time. This was a desperate roar and a powerless struggle. He had violated the emperor's mission.
