I became the son of Renzong

When Fu Bi said this, he meant it with sincerity.Speaking of Di Qing and the others, their eyes were red.

To be honest, all the ministers present, except for Wang Shao, Lu Huiqing, and Zhang Dun and Su Zhe who came to listen this time, seemed to be quite old.Even these few from the second year of Jiayou were older than the officials.

If they are in a hurry, they are more anxious than the officials.

In the early years, I didn't think about it, or I didn't dare to think about it.

From the government's victory over the good Shuichuan, to Guochao's victory over the Liaoxia Allied Forces and the recovery of the four prefectures of Yunying, it is false to say that everyone has no ambitions.

Especially Xixia, everyone's official career was almost in sync with Xixia's rebellion, and it was also accompanied by humiliation.

For Xixia, these old ministers and workers have deep feelings.

Han Qi, Fu Bi, Di Qing, Ouyang Xiu, Zhong E, Guo Kui, etc., which one has never worked in the Northwest?

Who can bear it when they see the hope of washing away their shame?This is also the reason why the cabinet ministers agreed with the official proposal to plan Xixia.

However, they are all scared!What Fu Bi said represents everyone's meaning.

How powerful the former dynasty was can be seen in the pile of old papers, how high-spirited the Tang Dynasty should be at that time.

In the end, Xue Rengui, who had never been defeated in his life, was ruined because of a big Feichuan.It also made a powerful Tang Dynasty have to restrain its edge.

Guochao is now showing signs of revival, but how dare it compare with the previous dynasty?

So, at this moment, Fu Bi hesitated.However, he did not object directly, but persuaded him earnestly.

At this moment, Zhao Xi could also feel Fu Bi's so-called patriotic heart!

At the same time, I can also feel the unwillingness of the ministers!

In the previous speech after the cold room, whether it was Han Qiwen Yanbo or Fu Bi, both inside and outside the words were discouraging.

From Zhao Xi's proposal to start from an unknown territory, they all tended to be conservative.

To be honest, most people dare not take risks with regard to official proposals.

"Officials, this discussion is to plan Xixia, not to fight immediately, nor to form a resolution. I believe that the court still has enough time to verify whether it will be successful or not, and whether it can be done."

Wang Anshi has always been aggressive.Of course, he strongly admires the appreciation of Hehuang, and the strategy of strategically encircling Xixia is a continuation of Appreciation Hehuang, and only when the strategic encirclement of Xixia is completed can appreciation of Hehuang be perfect.

"Officials, humble ministers have something to say, don't know if it should be said or not?"

After Wang Anshi's voice fell, Zhang Dun asked for advice.

Zhang Dun and Su Zhe both discuss politics, and they have been cooperating with Ouyang Xiu in the martial arts hall.

The two of them seldom participated in many affairs of the imperial court, but they were not ignorant of them.

During these years in the martial arts hall, apart from other things, he is more familiar with the governing philosophy of the government than the courtiers and workers, and can be compared with the former ministers of the Qiandi.

So, he spoke up.

"Speak!"

It was Zhao Xi's intention that Zhang Dun and Su Zhe were speaking in the martial arts hall, and they were used as spares for the cabinet.

Originally, they were also prepared to gradually intervene in government affairs.

"Management, fellow colleagues, as Wang Ge said, this is a matter of discussion, not a decision. Since the governor's mansion has seen Western merchants in Hehuang, and the Secretary of the Imperial City is looking for Western goods from Bianliang, it is just like Officials said: West of Dafeichuan, there is another passage to the Western Regions."

"Now, since the imperial court has no objection to the planning of Xixia, why not start preparing to explore the road and send loyal warriors to start exploring another passage. Maybe this road will be discovered when the country is ready for war."

Sure enough, I read it right, Zhang Dun is indeed a talent.Of course, this is also because he has an age advantage, and he has a different perspective from the older ministers.

"Officials, all the superiors, I agree with what Zihou said. The reason why I don't know it is because I didn't find out. Since someone has it, the path must exist."

"The imperial court is nothing more than a guide. It is nothing more than merchants from the West. I think that it is completely possible to follow the official's proposal and focus on opening up another channel."

Su Zhe was relatively restrained, and after Zhang Dun started, he also participated in it.

The biggest difference between the two of them and the courtiers is that when they think about problems, they are simpler than the ministers and workers who have government affairs.

They only need to consider the purpose of the officials' discussion and what the officials mean during the entire discussion process.

With these two points, you don't have to worry about stepping on the official point.

Chapter 668 Resolution passed

It may be said that it is a sudden realization, which may be most in line with the state of mind of all the ministers.

From Wang Anshi's turning point to Zhang Dun's and Su Zhe's advice, all the ministers and workers finally came out of their own circles.

Indeed, if they didn't intend to explore the way, why would the officials talk about the goods of Xifan?If it wasn't for the purpose of guiding the way, why call Shiyi Temple to intervene in such a military issue?

I regret nothing more than Lu Huiqing.The premise that the officials made him blame himself caused him to lose the basis for rational consideration later.

That's it!They have been Jiayou for two years, and none of them are waiting for you.

"The officials once told the old minister that the court's reserves have been slightly reduced due to the disaster of the Huazhou dam collapse. The plan for Xixia did not happen within a year or two. But the old minister has gone the other way."

Fu Bi's words seemed to be laughing at himself, but he changed his attitude...~ He agreed with the official's idea of ​​finding another way.

Older people tend to be conservative. With this foundation, when considering problems, it is easy to magnify the danger infinitely, and even block his overall thinking.

Fu Bi admitted frankly, but his reputation as prime minister was not compromised.

"Indeed! I am in the stage of guessing about this passage, which needs to be verified. This is why I called Shiyi Temple to participate in the discussion."

"There is another point. I think that even if this passage exists, it is very likely that there will be a long distance that is uninhabited, and there may even be mountains and ravines."

"It is likely that not only war horses are needed, but also camels are needed. This also requires the leadership of Shiyi Temple. In order to ensure the food and grass for the army to march, and the ammunition for the battle until they reach the ancient Yumen Pass in the later stage, including the problem of resisting the epidemic, a large number of chariots must be equipped , or a modified chariot!"

Zhao Xi is not going to explain everything clearly. Since it is a meeting, the ministers and workers need to express their opinions and gradually improve the plan.

Traveling westward from Qingtang, crossing the wasteland, forming a double-team to Xixia, and forming a real encirclement trend, what preparations should be made?Collective discussions among the ministers and workers are required.Zhao Xi can't do everything.

"Officials, the number of soldiers in this partial division is good. This needs to be discussed. With a small number of people, it is difficult to achieve a flanking posture against Xixia. Even Shazhou and Guazhou cannot be defeated, and it is impossible to finally join the main force in Xingqing Mansion .”

"The number of people is too large. Even if a channel for transporting troops and materials is detected, it is difficult to ensure that the armaments will be delivered in place. After all, it is an uninhabited area, and there is no place to supply. It all depends on Hehuang and even Qinzhou's supply. Over time It is difficult to determine the direction of the long supply line, and the logistical support is too difficult."

Wen Yanbo's thinking hit the nail on the head.

"Actually, there is one more thing to pay attention to. Guochao's plan for Xixia, and the formation of a target of attack from east to west, it must be better not to be known by Xixia before the war is launched. However, how to sneak in a large-scale military operation is a difficult problem. .”

"Now that the imperial court has decided, Hehuang needs to assume a responsibility for the rear. Hehuang is newly recovered, and there are many foreign tribes attached to it. For the attached tribes, how many people really submit? Linkers? Is there a secret operation? Wait, these need to be organized and tidy."

"When we act in the future, whether to use Qingtang City as a material supply point or Miaochuan City as a supply point needs to be considered."
