It should be noted that when I was young, I had great ambitions and I once promised to be the best in the world.
Zhang Yue thought of this and thought of what he did when he visited Fu Bi's house for the first time.
Regardless of being depressed in middle age or old age, it is actually a fate that many people cannot avoid. However, when they were young, everyone once believed that they were the first-class people in the world.
But is everything you do today looked down upon by your youth?
Zhang Yue knew clearly that "cultivating one's moral character, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world" was his ambition set in his youth, and it was also the goal of every scholar and scholar to bring virtue to the world.
I have been cultivating myself, then managing my family, and then governing the country, and now I have reached the point where the world is at peace!
Clear away the king's worries and create peace for all generations. As Emperor Taizu said, the world is one family, and no one should be allowed to snore on the side of the bed.
You must know that everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
To destroy Xia is to bring peace to the world!
Immediately Shi De moved a chair and placed it next to the emperor's couch, and Zhang Yue took his seat.
Cai Bianshi had everyone standing by.
Shi De changed his hands for incense, and then served the officials loyally. Cai Biancong, holding his pen untouched, wrote down the words of the emperor and his ministers on the paper, which was later included in the history of Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, Cai Bian was also eager to see Zhang Yue's words to support the building and turn the tide.
His eyes couldn't help but be filled with deep anticipation.
The official said: "Before the two-pronged attack on Xia, I still felt that the destruction of Xia was just a matter of seconds. Today, the Yanyan Road was defeated, Zhong'e, Zhang Shouyue and other generals died in the king's affairs. I feel as if I'm on fire.
, the six gods have no master, from now on it will be war or peace, I hope you will not hesitate to speak your heartfelt words!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yue placed the wat tablet in Shi De's hand, caressed his short beard and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Today I am presenting your Majesty with the Ping Xia policy!"
After hearing this, Shi Deyi and Cai Bian and others were overjoyed.
From Pingrongce, then to Pinghehuangce, and finally to Pingxiace.
The official said: "Pingxia policy? Tell me quickly!"
The tip of Cai Bian's pen was fixed on the paper. In his eagerness, all the ink spots stained the book.
Zhang Yue sat down next to the couch and said: "Your Majesty, opening a border to the Xihe River has been the national policy of Xining since then! I vaguely remember that Deputy Privy Councilor Cai Minsu once wrote the lyrics "Xi Qianying Orioles" to talk about the peaceful scene of Xihe Road. The poem "Frost Sky Clear Dawn"
, looking at the ancient fortress of Zile, the cold clouds are fading the grass, the horses are sweating and neighing in the wind, the red horses are turning over the moon, and the iron clothes on the long mountain are cold and early. The swords, songs, and cavalry songs are tragic and majestic, and it is difficult to repay the kindness of the king."
When the officials Cai Bian, Shi Deyi and Zhang Yue recited this poem, they could not help but think of the vast scene outside the Great Wall and the Xihe Road after the war. I have to say that Cai Ting wrote this poem very well.
Zhang Yue said: "This poem was widely circulated in the capital after the Pingxi River. It can be seen that the hearts of scholars and people regard the Pingxi River as high, and regard your majesty's recovery of the homeland as a sage. This is what people want."
The officials nodded frequently when they heard this.
After regaining Xihe, the ministers congratulated him and reported it to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The soldiers and the people all hailed him as the Holy Son of Heaven. He would never forget this scene in his life.
The most taboo thing when giving advice is to make long speeches and say things that you think are high-level. Don’t talk too high when talking to others. You must know how to empathize with others.
Zhang Yue said: "Since ancient times, sage kings have conquered countries that have not yet been annexed, so they have attached themselves to me. Although Your Majesty did not carry out a large-scale campaign against Xia this time, the Qing and Tang Dynasties attached themselves to it. Xihe and Qing Tang's 200,000 Tibetan troops were attacked by your Majesty.
No one dares to disobey Xia's edict. This is your Majesty's congratulations!"
"On the other hand, if we do not attack Xia, the Xihe River cannot be defended for a long time. Once the Xihe River cannot be defended, the horses of Xifan will not be able to come back, and the Xia Rong will be in trouble for Shu. If the Xihe River is abandoned, Guanzhong will be shaken, and the Tang Dynasty will abandon Hehuang.
After that, if there is any trouble in the west, the police will reach Chang'an, and Sichuan and Shu will also fail to guard."
"Fortunately, His Majesty has the wisdom to restore Xihe. Once entrusted to Xixia, there will be troubles ahead and benefits ahead, and regrets will be too late."
Recovering Xihe Road is the greatest military achievement of the emperor after he ascends the throne. It is also the beginning of Zhang Yue's journey above Qingyun. This is the common interest of the emperor and his ministers.
Those who do great things seek common ground while reserving differences. It is normal for monarchs and ministers to have differences, but it is terrible if they do not share the same interests.
The official said: "Of course, I will never give up an inch of this Xihe land."
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "It's okay to have other free land, but Lanzhou must be taken!"
"Lanzhou?" The official said angrily, "Li Xian and Wang Hou led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack for more than a month and still can't defeat it!"
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "This is because the thief had anticipated me first. In my opinion, the city of Lanzhou is worth the effort no matter how much effort I put into it. If I expected it to be true, within a few days a good report will be delivered to Que from Lanzhou."
Down!"
As soon as Zhang Yue said this, officials, Shi Deyi, and Cai Bian all believed it and did not have the slightest doubt.
Cai Bian continued to write quickly while Shi Deyi served Zhang Yue tea and water.
As the chief escort, Shi De moved very lightly, for fear of accidentally interrupting Zhang Yue's train of thought.
Zhang Yue moistened his throat with a cup of tea and gestured with his hands: "The situation along the Xihe River is in Lanzhou. After capturing Lanzhou, we will be promoted to the military rank of Jiedu. We will govern the city along the way and set it up as a combined road shield. Once Xifan
According to this, if tens of thousands of troops are driven out of Shixiao, pass through Ruzhe, approach Shangantan, and attack Shuyang and Weiyuan, then Xizhou will be in danger.
, If you go straight to the distance, you will waver along the way!"
Zhang Yue talked with ease, as if the three mountains and five mountains on Xihe Road were under his control.
There is no need to look at the pictures, these are all in his memory, but Cai Bian is busy recording them.
"This is to defend and then attack. Since ancient times, the strategy of using troops has always been to build high-rise buildings. The Kalo River, Huang River, and Tao River are all within the territory of Lanzhou, and the Yellow River flows from the west. If I win Lanzhou, I will win with its dangerous and solid situation, and with the resources of the waterway
If the grain is taken upstream by the Western Bandits, we can control their front and back, and temporarily control their country."
Capturing Lanzhou not only consolidated the situation along Xihe Road, but also allowed us to attack the hinterland of Xixia from the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Therefore, Zhang Yue suggested moving the city of Xihe Road from Xizhou to Lanzhou, focusing on consolidating Lanzhou, and using this
Cutting off summer as a starting point.
"However, building a festival in Lanzhou is not enough. I propose to set up an economic and strategic pacification envoy in Xihe, and also take charge of the Xihe Economic and Border Defense and Finance Department. There will be one envoy to be in charge of the border military affairs!"
Zhang Yue's words clearly touched a chord in the hearts of the officials.
Although the economic and strategic pacification envoys have great power, they are not allowed to interfere with the property, prisons, water transportation, warehousing, and academic affairs of the area. However, the administrative envoys have greater power than the economic and strategic appeasement envoys, and they also have the most important financial power.
This is no different from the power of Jiedushi. Only during the Zhongxing of the Southern Song Dynasty, the court was forced to let Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun and other generals serve as Jiedushi.
Zhang Yue still said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty can choose one person from the eunuchs to be the official envoy, and then let a civil servant be the deputy envoy!"
"As per your permission!"
At this juncture, the officials simply agreed.
"When Li Yuanhao rose to power, he had 50,000 soldiers in Helan Mountain, 70,000 soldiers in Xingzhou, and 50,000 soldiers in Lingzhou. Xingling is the foundation of the party and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, after I captured Lanzhou and established Xihe, I sent another general
Capture Ganliang, cut off its western routes, and drive the party from west to east with the force of fierce tigers driving sheep!"
When Zhang Yue said this, he stretched out his palm and pressed it to the west. As he talked and laughed, the oars flew into ashes and were annihilated.
The officials listened very seriously.
Shi De was stunned when he heard this, while Cai Bian's palms were sweating.
"Then we build the Hulu River and build fortresses on the edges of the Jingyuan and Xihe rivers. The Xihe River flows out of Huizhou and leads to Qinfeng and leads to the Jingyuan."
"This is the Tiandu Mountain, which is close to the river. It has strong manpower and produces good horses. If the Xia people get it, they can help their country. If they lose it, it will hinder their soldiers and food. I won't attack him from sitting here, and the party will also attack.
I!"
"Jingyuan Road can be guarded for several days. Troops can be sent from Lanhui on Xihe Road to extend down the Yellow River to attack the Xia bandits from both sides. Qinfeng Road and Huanqing Road can also rescue them."
"The reason why I lost battles with Xia in the past was because the Xia people came from all over the country. I always took the lead! With Tiandu Mountain as the formation, Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road can support each other. If the Xia people take care of it, the two roads can block Xia.
If the Xia people don't pay attention to the Qing Dynasty's invasion, they will continue to build in the Huluchuan River!"
"If your Majesty is interested, you can also set up an envoy on Jingyuan Road, or you don't have to set one up. When the Jingyuan Road is built and reaches Xiaoguan and Lingzhou, which is only three hundred miles away, your Majesty will send one general out of Xiaoguan and go north, and another one.
After the general crossed the river from Lanzhou and reinforced Juexingzhou, the two armies met at the foot of Lingzhou City."
"After capturing Lingzhou, we will then capture the five Dingnan states in sequence, capture all of Hengshan, and finally complete our work in one battle... we can destroy Xia!"
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, the palace fell into deep silence.
The main hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of pindrops falling to the ground.
Cai Bian stopped writing and thought to himself, Zhang Yue's proposal is indeed a strategy to destroy the country and bring peace to the world. But according to what he said, how many years will it take to bring peace to Xia? With the emperor's eager temper, can he wait?
In the past, weren’t we defeated by the emperor’s turbulence?
The official frowned and asked, "How many years will it take to destroy Xia as you said?"
Zhang Yue said truthfully: "It can take as little as five years, or as long as ten years!"
When the official heard this, his expression became a little gloomy. Zhang Yue saw the official's expression and said: "Your Majesty, we must not treat border affairs as a mere name and forget about the real disaster. We must sacrifice long-term careers for small numbers. The top priority is to broaden the people's resources and save money."
First!"
"The most taboo thing in the world's politics is to either go too far or let it go. Neither of these two is advisable. Your Majesty, once a national policy is set, it must never be reversed!"
Zhang Yue's words cannot be changed once they are set, and the official family cannot be the same as before.
Guan Jia Dao: "Confucius said that all countries in the world can be equalized; honors and positions can be relinquished; white blades can be danced; moderation is impossible'."
"The golden mean is so difficult, it's difficult for me too!"
Zhang Yue listened to the official's words and thought to himself, if you don't listen, I have nothing to do, so I have to give up time and practice hiding in me.
The official raised his hand from the couch and said to Zhang Yue, "But this time I will listen to you! What a peaceful plan!"
"Whether it's five years or ten years, even if I can't wait, my descendants can wait!"
"Your talent is ten times better than mine, so I entrust you with the task of destroying Xia! At this time of crisis, I am sick in bed and have no time to write the imperial edict, so I will orally inform you to become Tongzhongshu from today on."
Let me keep things in order and assist me in handling state affairs!"
Shi Deyi and Cai Bian were dumbfounded when they heard this.
But Zhang Yue stood up from his chair with a solemn face, bowed down beside the couch and said seriously: "I have received the order from you, Zhang Yue!"
When the country is in crisis, everyone who pays homage to the general will not refuse!
The official said on the sickbed: "When you leave this dynasty, you will be the general and the prime minister. You are the only one!"
