The officials present, especially those attending the gathering on the second floor, were a little surprised. As people with some real power in the court, they knew more or less about the relationship between Han Qi and Lu Yao. Who
Everyone knows that Han Qi and Lu Yao have always had a bad relationship. Although it is not as incompatible as the Han family and the Cao family, the relationship between the two has reached a freezing point. For someone like Han Qi who is more inclined to be a military attaché,
Generally speaking, people like Lu Yao who started out as businessmen and have not made any achievements in politics are destined to be looked down upon by Han Qi.
However, in the face of Zhang Feng's aggressiveness, it was Han Qi who came forward to help Lu Yao. And judging from his attitude, Han Qi seemed to be very interested in the suggestions put forward by Lu Yao, a fifth-grade virtual official. These
The officials couldn't help but secretly admire Han Qi. Sure enough, in the face of national events, this personal grudge should be put aside for the time being.
However, the person involved, Lu Yao, did not think so. He knew very well that Han Qi seemed to be reprimanding Zhang Feng to save him, but in fact, this move was to set himself up. In terms of effect, it was actually the same as what he had done before.
It is the same strategy to give Zhao Zhen advice and ask Zhao Zhen to cancel all participating teams in the Cuju competition and make subsequent substitutions. No matter what others think of Han Qi's move, he is already in a very embarrassing position, because Han Qi's
With these words, all the officials present have become interested in the idea that Lu Yao will propose next. It would be okay if the suggestions given by Lu Yao are very pertinent, but if they do not achieve the expected effect, then Han Qi will arrive
Sometimes he will take the opportunity to ridicule himself. Then when he enters the court in the later period, he will inevitably be ridiculed by other courtiers and feel that he has no ability.
It has to be said that Han Qi's move was very vicious. While he left a good impression on others, he also pushed Lu Yao into a desperate situation. However, Han Qi, who can achieve the position of Privy Councilor, if he uses this method
If he doesn't, then he can't keep his official position.
Lu Yao had seen through Han Qi's move, but he didn't show any panic at all. He stood up from his seat and walked slowly upstairs. Everyone felt a little strange why Lu Yao had to go to the second floor.
Want to make some suggestions? On the other side, as Lu Yao walked, he didn't forget to ask the officials on the first floor if they were satisfied with today's dishes and if they thought there was room for improvement. Not to mention, these
There were more low-level officials than the officials on the second floor, and they actually gave several suggestions. Some of the suggestions sounded more pertinent to Lu Yao, and he planned to find an opportunity to tell Pan Yuanwu after it was over.
.
After Lu Yao arrived on the second floor, he passed Zhang Feng and walked between Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, and Han Qi. Then he took out a map from his sleeve and handed it to the three people.
Then, Lu Yao went down to the first floor unhurriedly, leaving the three of them time to look at the pictures.
After Lu Yao returned to the first floor, he said: "Juniors are not talented. In fact, I have heard the opinions of every adult who stood up just now. In terms of attitude, in fact, most of us are divided into two sides.
They advocated war with Daxia, while the other side, led by Mr. Zhang Feng, wanted to solve the problem through peace talks. However, the junior felt that all the adults who advocated war had missed a very important point. That is,
Once a war breaks out, what kind of tactics should we adopt? And where should we use as the main battlefield? So, I just handed over a map to Mr. Fan Zhongyan. What I think above is what we in the Song Dynasty will do if the war breaks out.
The deployment, as well as my judgment of the direction in which Daxia will send troops and the strategies they may adopt."
Speaking of the Song-Xia War, the more famous ones are the four large-scale battles fought by both sides.
One is the Battle of Sanchuankou. In March of the second year of Baoyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty (1040), Yuanhao of the Western Xia Jingzong attacked the Northern Song Dynasty. While Yuanhao led his army to pretend to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, he sent a letter to Fan Yong, the magistrate of Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty, expressing his willingness to fight with the Northern Song Dynasty.
The peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty created an illusion to paralyze Fan Yong. However, Fan Yong believed it to be true and immediately wrote to the court and relaxed the defense of Yanzhou.
In July of the same year, Yuan Hao sent an army to surround Yanzhou. Song Dynasty generals Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were ordered to reinforce. When they arrived at Sanchuankou (now northwest of Yan'an, Shaanxi), they were attacked by the Xixia army and were heavily surrounded by the Xixia army.
Liu and Shi led their troops to fight hard with the Xia army. The Xixia army suffered heavy losses. However, because they were outnumbered, they had to retreat to the hillside near Sanchuankou. Xixia also reinforced a large number of troops. Yuan Hao wrote many times to persuade Liu Ping to surrender, but Liu Ping
Would rather die than surrender.
Finally, the Xixia army stormed the hillside where the Song army was stationed. Because the Song army was too small in number, Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were captured. Later, because the Song general Yuan Hao succeeded in a sneak attack, the Xixia army was forced to withdraw from the Song Dynasty, and the siege of Yanzhou was completed.
be relieved.
In the Battle of Sanchuankou, although the Song Dynasty successfully resisted the invasion of the Xixia army, the losses were too great.
The second was the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were denounced and no longer useful after this battle.
After the Battle of Sanchuankou, Song Renzong was deeply aware of the power of Xixia and ordered Xia Song to be appointed as the envoy of Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan as deputy envoys, jointly responsible for fighting against Xixia. In February of the second year of Kangding (1041),
Yuanhao, Jingzong of the Western Xia Dynasty, once again led an army of 100,000 troops to attack the Song Dynasty southward. He ambushed the main force at the mouth of Haoshui River, and attacked Huaiyuan (east of present-day Xiji, Ningxia). He claimed to attack Weizhou (present-day Pingliang, Gansu) to lure the Song army deep into the country.
However, because the resourceful Fan Zhongyan was present in the Song Dynasty at that time, the Xixia army did not dare to act rashly. However, Han Qi did not listen to Fan Zhongyan's dissuasion and insisted on his own opinion. He sent Huanqing Vice-Capital Ren Fu to lead an army of more than 50,000 people to suppress the Rong Army (today's
Guyuan, Ningxia) arrived at Yanglong City (today's southwest of Guyuan, Ningxia). After leaving Xia, they waited for an opportunity to break through Xixia, but they didn't know that the Xixia ambush was waiting for them. Ren Fu led his army to Huaiyuan City and encountered the Zhenrong Army's West Road Inspection Chang.
Ding fought with the Xixia army south of Zhangyi Fort, killing thousands of Xixia troops, and Xixia troops continued to reinforce. Ren Fu's army rushed to the area to support him, so the Xia army pretended to be defeated.
Afterwards, they were trapped and exhausted, and they pursued to Haoshuichuan, where they were ambushed by the main force of Yuan Hao's Xixia army. The Song army was defeated, Ren Fu and other generals were killed in the battle, and almost the entire army was destroyed.
And pick up

In the next two battles, neither Fan Zhongyan nor Han Qi participated.
The third battle was the Battle of Linfu and Feng. In the first year of Qingli, Xixia and the Northern Song Dynasty had just concluded the Battle of Shuichuan, and Li Yuanhao gathered tens of thousands of troops to launch the Battle of Linfu and Feng. In July of that year, he defected to
Ni Luo, a member of Xixia's party in Hedong, claimed that the troops in Hedong were weak and led the Xixia army to attack Linzhou. Linzhou was located outside the river and blocked the rush of Xixia. Therefore, the Xia army first targeted Linzhou. Linzhou was built on the mountain.
It was difficult to defend and attack, but there was no water in the city. Therefore, Li Yuanhao adopted siege tactics and surrounded Linzhou City, hoping to trap the Song army to death. The Song army had few major generals, and the reinforcements were unable to rescue them. The Song army generals in the city used their wits to fight against the enemy.
Zhou Xuan. There is no well in the city, only a sand spring. Outside the city, some Rong people said to Yuan Hao, "There is no well in Linzhou. If we besiege the city, the soldiers and civilians will die of thirst in half a month." Yuan Hao then surrounded the city with a large army.
The Japanese were puzzled, and the city was in great distress. A sergeant offered advice: "If the Xia army does not relieve the siege, they will definitely want to use the lack of water to siege us. They can take the mud from the ditch and have people go to a high place to pile it up with mud and grass so that the thieves can see it.
This is also a way to use strategy." The state general obeyed him. When Yuan Hao saw it, he said to the Rong people who offered advice, "You told me that there are no wells in the city, and now they use mud to pile grass. What's going on?
?" So he beheaded the Rong man, and the siege was lifted after more than 20 days of siege. In August, he defeated Ningyuan Village, and then attacked Fuzhou. There were more than 6,100 officers and soldiers in Fuzhou City, and the residents also knew how to fight. The city was dangerous and strong, surrounded by cliffs.
, the Song army repelled the Xia army's attack by virtue of the favorable terrain. Later, the Xia army turned to attack the north of the city and fought hard with the Song army led by Zhizhou Shizhe Jimin. The Xia army besieged it for four days and suffered more than 1,000 casualties before retreating.
They raided all directions, cut down crops and dug out cellars. Then they attacked Fengzhou and captured the city.
After occupying Fengzhou, the Xixia army returned to strangle the two states of Lin and Fu. They captured all the fortresses between Lin and Fu to isolate the two states. They then used their cavalry to plagiarize the pay roads and rob the nearby Akita grain. Winter October
, the imperial court proposed to abandon the river and defend the German army in the east of the river, but failed, so they moved to Zhangkang as a annexe, and took charge of the capital of Daizhou, managing Lin, and the government's army and horse affairs. After Zhang Kang arrived in Fuzhou, in order to combat the looting of the Xixia army, he moved near Fuzhou
Dongsheng Fort, Jin Castle, Anding Fort, etc. were built and troops were stationed to guard them. In order to open up the road between Lin and Fuzhou, five castles, Qingzhai, Baisheng, Zhonghou, Jianning and Zhenchuan, were built between Lin and Fuzhou.
In November of winter, two battles were fought between Song and Xia at Liulibao and Jianning Village. The Xia army retreated across the board. It is worth mentioning that the battle of Jianning Village was worth mentioning. Shortly thereafter, the Xia army withdrew from all roads.
The army returned. The Linfu and Feng battles in the first year of Qingli in Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty ended with the Xia army occupying Fengzhou.
The fourth battle was the Battle of Dingchuanzhai. After this battle, Xixia and the Song Dynasty began to negotiate for Qingli peace. After Fan Zhongyan and others were demoted, Xixia began to discuss plans to attack the Song Dynasty again. In the second year of Qingli (1042) by Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty,
Years), Li Yuanhao's adviser Zhang Yuan proposed a plan to Emperor Jingzong. Zhang Yuan believed that all the best soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty were gathered in the border areas of Song and Xia, while the military power in the Guanzhong area of the Song Dynasty was very weak. If the Xixia army contained the troops in the border areas of the Song Dynasty,
The Song Dynasty had no time to estimate the Guanzhong area, and then it could send a powerful force to take the opportunity to attack the Guanzhong Plain and capture Chang'an (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi Province). Yuan Hao adopted Zhang Yuan's suggestion and sent 100,000 troops in two groups to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale.
Attacked all the way from Liu Burning Fort (now Longde, Ningxia), and all the way from Pengyang City (now Pengyang County, Guyuan, Ningxia) to Weizhou (Pingliang, Gansu). Song General Wang Yan heard about it and hurriedly sent Ge Huaimin and others to lead troops to reinforce Liu
Burnt Fort, the Song army fell into a tight siege by the Xixia army in Dingchuan Village (now northwest of Guyuan, Ningxia). The Song army was defeated. 15 generals including Ge Huaimin were killed in the battle. The Song army of more than 9,000 people was nearly wiped out. But the Xixia army encountered another enemy on the other side.
In the Song Dynasty, Jingtai, the magistrate of Yuanzhou (now Guyuan, Ningxia), resisted tenaciously and the Xixia soldiers were wiped out. The dream of Li Yuanhao, Jingzong of Xixia, to go straight to Guanzhong was shattered.
It can be seen from these four battles that the battles that actually decided the fate of Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were the first two battles. After the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi temporarily withdrew from the war after the Song-Xia War.
Stage. Therefore, Lu Yao just gave Fan Zhongyan and the others a map, which directly circled these four places, and on the back of the map, Lu Yao also wrote detailed troop deployments and war predictions, as well as the Northern Song Dynasty
What strategy should be adopted at that time?
Lu Yao continued: "I very much agree with what Mr. Cao You said just now. To fight against Li Yuanhao, we can't just use a frontal breakthrough. We must take a two-pronged approach, both internally and externally. Not only through war, but also through careful preparation and public opinion. We must try to challenge him.
Cause their internal conflicts."
Cao Yu heard Lu Yao express his approval of his suggestion and nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Lu Yao looked at Fan Zhongyan and the other three who were studying his map carefully and said: "Master Cao You has just talked about the internal matters, so I, a fifth-grade official who is not on duty, can only plan some things that no one has."
The thing that comes to mind is, if the peace talks fail and the two sides meet at war, how should we deploy our troops, and what strategies should both sides adopt if war actually breaks out."
Zhang Feng listened in confusion, because Lu Yao had said so much without putting forward specific war strategies and deployments, so he said: "Anyone can talk about war on paper."
As soon as he said this, Yan Shu immediately interrupted him and said: "The map given by Mr. Xiaolu indeed introduces Daxia's military deployment in detail, as well as the strategies they will use. It is listed in great detail.
, and also wrote down four key locations and how the Song Army should respond."
"But how do you know that they will definitely choose those four places to launch war? Which four places specifically?" Zhang Feng continued to ask.
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhang Feng." Lu Yao changed the subject and said, "I gave this map to Lord Fan Zhongyan. As for the strength, tactics, and military affairs, I think it's enough to show them a few times. As for me,
Whether the proposed ideas are effective or not, I think Mr. Fan and the other three should have the most say."
Everyone felt that what Lu Yao said made sense. After all, it involves military and national affairs. Once it is said, it is no longer a secret. No one can say whether there is Daxia's detailed work in Bianliang City now. If they know this
If there is something written on the map, then this strategy will be in vain. Therefore, this map
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Of course, the less people know about the content, the better. Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, the two officials who will go to the front line tomorrow, naturally have the most say on this map. They should understand that what is on this map
Are the comments and text valuable?
Fan Zhongyan and the other three started a heated discussion while looking at the pictures. On Lu Yao's side, after saying what he just said, he returned to his original seat in the corner like a normal person. He was sitting opposite Lu Yao just now.
Those officials who were there have now kept a distance and disappeared. Lu Yao was also at leisure. After listening to the conversation for so long, Lu Yao only felt a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
In the entire Fan Building, the only sound of Lu Yao eating alone could be heard. Cao Yu on the second floor couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Yao doing this.
After about three to five minutes, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and Han Qi had already come to a conclusion. As a privy envoy, Han Qi was good at leading troops in battles, and Han Qi had the most say in the map given by Lu Yao, and everyone knew that
Regarding the relationship between Han Qi and Lu Yao, if what Lu Yao gave was not convincing, Han Qi would never protect Lu Yao.
Lu Yao also put down his chopsticks at this time and looked at Han Qi with a smile on his face.
Han Qi took a deep breath and said: "I have to admit that the map given by Mr. Xiaolu is very valuable. If the negotiations between us and Daxia break down, this map will be very helpful to us."
Everyone was in a state of confusion. Obviously, they did not expect that Han Qi would give such a high evaluation to the map given by Lu Yao. However, Han Qi then said that this map is now a military secret.
, so the details in the picture cannot be told to everyone in order to keep them confidential. However, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, and Han Qi all said that the problem that the leader and the faction just mentioned about the lack of deployment after the war basically relied on Lu Yao.
The map given is a perfect solution.
Speaking of Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, and Han Qi, after reading the map given by Lu Yao, Han Qi was the most shocked. Before, he only thought that Lu Yao was a talented man and a big businessman, but he never expected that this guy also had military skills.
Such a high level. Han Qi observed carefully that the four locations he marked on the map were all battlegrounds for military strategists, and the tactics he mentioned about Li Yuanhao's possible tactics were also very detailed, with many details.
It was something he couldn't even imagine.
The reason why Lu Yao gave such a detailed map was to preserve Fan Zhongyan's position. After all, in Lu Yao's opinion, Yan Shu had already started to find someone to investigate Wang Anshi's relevant information. When Wang Anshi entered the court, if he could
Joining forces with Fan Zhongyan and carrying out reforms together, the influence would be unimaginable. Although there were some differences in the impressions of Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yao when they met after time travel, after all, Fan Zhongyan was also someone Lu Yao admired very much. He didn't want to
It looks like his career will plummet at this point.
Cao You was not surprised at all by what Han Qi said, and secretly admired Lu Yao in his heart. In this party, it was actually very difficult to be silent without being too showy.
. However, Lu Yao only used a map to get it all done. He took advantage of the fact that military secrets cannot be leaked and made this map, which not only amazed the three organizers, but also made everyone attending the party
People don’t know what is written in it, but because those three people have recognized the value of Lu Yao’s map above, they have to recognize Lu Yao. Therefore, during the party tonight, everyone will recall Lu Yao in the future.
Looking up, no one would think that it was Lu Yao who stole the show tonight. However, because of the value of this map, no one would underestimate Lu Yao in the future. This is the most perfect result.
After questioning Lu Yao, the war faction and the peace faction continued to debate for a while. Then it got darker and Fan Zhongyan and others stopped the questioning session. At this point, tonight's Fan Lou night banquet came to an end. Among them, Zhang
Feng's strong arguments undoubtedly left the deepest impression on everyone. As a peace advocate, he was not a weak official, but analyzed the shortcomings of the war from various angles. It can be said that he was very capable.
. As for the main station faction, the most popular person was Cao You. His method of breaking through from the inside was praised by all the officials. Here at Lu Yao, because no one knew what was written on the map.
, so there is no way to evaluate it. However, Lu Yao’s advocacy of war has been known to everyone.
After the night banquet, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and Han Qi were going to take the map given by Lu Yao to the palace and report to the emperor. They originally planned to take Lu Yao with them. However, Lu Yao said that he had drunk too much just now, so he would not
I entered the palace with them, and the map was very detailed, so I didn't need to explain too much.
Seeing this, the three of them did not try to stay, so Lu Yao followed Han Wenyuan and Cao You and left Fanlou.
In fact, Lu Yao's move was also a step in the planning. He deliberately refused to enter the palace with these three people in order to give the three people an illusion, that is, Lu Yao might not be the only one on this map.
It was possible that Lu Xu played a very key role in it. Because Lu Yao could not tell all the specific details, he refused to go to the palace with the three of them to report.
This just dispelled the concerns of Fan Zhongyan and the other three people. Because Lu Yao refused to enter the palace, they all agreed that this map should be made by Lu Xu and Lu Yao together, and Lu Xu had not been invited to Han Qi before.
The family is planning, so this picture is the final result of the countermeasures Lu Xu has thought up during this period, coupled with Lu Yao's cooperation.
The three of them went into the palace to report to Zhao Zhen, and they thought so. As for Zhao Zhen, since they had never heard that Lu Yao was outstanding in military matters, they thought that this map was the work of Lu Xu and Lu Yao.
They made it together. He very much approved of this map, and asked Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi to take this map directly to the Song-Xia border tomorrow, maybe it will work wonders.
Don't be too pushy at any time. Lu Yao just wants to make others think that he did not make this map alone. Only then can he become famous.
