    Chapter 301 Qin Feng Road [Part 2] Therefore, although Qin Feng Road is a peripheral road established only at important border areas, there are not many actual troops stationed there.  .Take the current situation in Shanxi as an example. All the troops and horses combined total about 250,000 people, and this number is still increasing.  Because Zhao Juan, the Shaanxi Economic Strategy pacification envoy, and the recruitment envoy Xia Song were the first to report the addition of Tibetan soldiers, the imperial court asked various prefectures and counties to increase the number of Tibetan soldiers by 2,000 to 4,000 as appropriate.  Shaanxi has twenty-four states and two armies.  Even if we calculate based on the minimum recruitment of 2,000 Tibetan soldiers, there are still 52,000 people!  The actual number of Tibetan soldiers recruited is estimated to be about 74,000. This number is expected to rise as the war unfolds.  And what about Qin Fenglu?  Now there are only 40,000 troops stationed in the army, more than half of them are Xiang soldiers, and the recruitment establishment of Fan soldiers is only 18,000 people.  Although Zhao Juan's own situation is not very good, Xia Song's own situation is actually not very good either.  When Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian teamed up to plot against Zhao Juan, the reason why Xia Song reacted so strongly was that in addition to his own bad temper, his current situation also put great pressure on him.  There are still a considerable number of Xixia soldiers and horses harassing the territory of Shaanxi. Not long ago, even the Xixia army with thousands of horses in the rear of Qinfeng Road spent a long time digging grass and valleys.  Liu Jizong obviously didn't like Xia Song very much. When he talked about Xia Song, he said with disdain: "Xia Xianggong is capable, but he is too tough, and there are some unclear numbers in the books.  Who doesn't know his job? "Liu Jizong didn't say anything at this point. Liu Jizong still knew about the taboo of talking briefly and deeply.  Regarding the complaints from Liu Jizong and others, and even the flattery towards himself, Zhao Juan just listened and did not express any attitude towards it. Even if it was flattery, Zhao Juan looked very indifferent.  Zhao Xun watched from the side, and his evaluation of Zhao Juan increased several levels in his heart.  After all, this was their first acquaintance. Although Zhao Juan condescended to meet Liu Jizong and the others, the two parties did not talk all night. After about an hour, Liu Jizong and the others left.  Zhao Juan stopped Shi Ji, who was about to resign. In the face of the other party's puzzled look, he smiled and said: "I heard some things about Yongping Village, and I want to hear how Shi Yao managed to protect Yongping Village and defeat the Xixia thieves.  . Please don¡¯t refuse this small request from me!¡± Shi Ji couldn¡¯t help but do it.  Wang Gui did not stay long, but when he left, he quietly said to Zhao Juan: "Your Majesty, be careful about Yin Zhu, this person is very extraordinary. When he was able to serve as an official in the Appeasement Department, he was the deputy general manager of the Ma Bu Army on Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road.  , Recommended by Ge Huaimin, Deputy Envoy of Economic Strategy and Appeasement!" Zhao Jian suddenly felt a shiver in his heart. It's really not easy for anyone!  Who is Ge Huaimin?  The son of Ge Ba, the general of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ge Huaimin was also the sister-in-law of the former Privy Councilor Wang Deyong. Although Wang Deyong was demoted, he had a good reputation when he was an official, and many generals in the army were friendly with him.  It's just that Kong Daofu went crazy and stared at him. He told him every day that Wang Deyong looked very majestic and looked like Song Taizu.  Wang Deyong was so frightened that your sister looks like Song Taizu?  Isn't that the founding emperor?  How could Wang Derong have such courage? Fortunately, Song Renzong also knew that Wang Derong did not have such courage, but he was worried about staying with him, so he was simply demoted to Xuzhou to enjoy the blessings.  Therefore, although Wang Deyong was demoted, he did not fall into disgrace and still held a very high status in the army.  Ge Huaimin had such two big backers, which gave Zhao Juan a headache.  Now he can only take one step at a time. While thinking, Shi Ji couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the prince wants to do in the battle of Yongping Village?" Only then did Zhao Juan come back to his senses and said to Shi Jilu  He gave a slightly apologetic smile and said calmly: "The eldest son of the Zhao family recommended you to me, so what I actually want to hear is not the good news about Yongping Village, which is abundant in the Privy Council. Although I have left  Privy Council, it¡¯s easy to get a copy of such a battle report. What I want to know is Shi Yao¡¯s ability!¡± Shi Ji laughed at himself: ¡°What ability can the general have?¡±  Are you saying that? If you really have the ability, I will definitely not hesitate to reward you! And I also know something about you. It seems that you are being marginalized in the army now. " Shi Ji laughed at himself: "The world is unfair, since the prince knows.  "Aren't you afraid of offending more people because of the general?" "Is this king very popular?" Zhao Yan laughed.  Shi Ji was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.  Indeed, compared to himself, King Wei's situation was not much better. He was suppressed by Xia Song, and restrained by his deputies Yin Zhu and Ge Huaimin.  Shi Ji knew that Zhao Juan was sincerely recruiting him, so he immediately cheered up.  Who doesn¡¯t want to win aWhat about the predecessor and surname?  While slowly talking, Zhao Juan found that Shi Ji¡¯s idea of ??defending the city was somewhat satisfying.  Shi Ji believes that although defending a city is called defending, it must be defended while attacking, and cannot be defended blindly.  Because whether it is defending or attacking a city, it all depends on morale. As long as you attack, no matter how small the victory is, morale can be boosted.  Therefore, Shi Ji valued elite soldiers and believed that when defending a city, he must beat gongs and drums at night to disturb the enemy and send elite soldiers to attack the enemy.  It is not necessary to set fire to the camp, even if you harvest two or three heads and come back and spread the word in the city, you can boost morale. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the more soldiers you have, the easier it is to be discovered. If the soldiers are capable, one person is most suitable.  Because there are few people, it is not easy to be discovered.  Shi Ji¡¯s tactics in this regard gave Zhao Juan a lot of inspiration and he agreed with them.  The two talked for a long time until late at night, and then they suddenly realized that the time had reached this time.  The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.  Zhao Juan invited Shi Ji and said, "It's so late at night, just stay in custody!" Shi Ji didn't feel shy and agreed readily.  "In that case, you're welcome, General!" That night, in Xia Song's study, someone had already told Xia Song exactly what happened around Zhao Juan today.  "It seems that Zhao Yan is still trying to get lucky. Unexpectedly, he got Zhao Zhen's help. I'm so careless! But so what?" Although Xia Song felt a little regretful, his attitude was still very tough.  "My lord, I heard that Zhao Juan still kept the Yongping village in custody, and he must be trying to win him over. As long as we can stop him from missing this aspect, it will be a great defeat for the King of Wei!" A staff member suggested from the side.  Xia Song was a little moved. Just thinking of the name of the prisoner in Yongping Village, he couldn't help but sigh with regret and said: "That Shi Ji is a talented general, but it's a pity that he is too straightforward. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and he did  All these things have brought shame on Shangguan. It's a pity that he is so talented. I don't have the guts to use him, and I can't bear to destroy him. Just let this guy go, it's done, it's for me, the Song Dynasty.  Adding a general will make King Wei miserable if he loses!" The staff immediately flattered him and said, "Great! This is such a clever plan!" The next day, Zhao Juan got up early in the morning to fight.  A set of punches, after freshening up.  Shi Ji just got up, and when he saw the energetic Zhao Juan, he couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed that he had been a little decadent these days.  After saying hello, Zhao Yan and Hua Xiangrong had dinner in the bamboo courtyard.  "Your Majesty, I am going to see Xia Xianggong this morning. Do you want me to go with you?" Hua Xiangrong swallowed a piece of meringue roll, wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth, and asked.  Zhao Jian smiled and said, "It's not like you're going to meet him at his mansion, but at the Economic Affairs Bureau. What's it like for you to go there?" Hua Xiangrong raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that the prince and Xia Xianggong are not on good terms?" "  That's right!" Zhao Juan didn't want to talk much about this issue. In Zhao Juan's opinion, women's involvement in politics was a taboo in all dynasties.  Moreover, Hua Xiangrong is just a concubine. If she becomes Zhao Yan's think tank in this regard, what will be the status of his wife in the future?  Not to mention the legal wife, Hua Xiangrong's status would be quite embarrassing.  Hua Xiangrong sensed Zhao Juan's indifference on this issue and knew better and did not continue.  After tidying up some collars for Zhao Juan, he leaned against the door and watched Zhao Juan leave.  Arriving at the Economic and Strategy Department, Zhao Juan visited the senior officials one by one, the most famous of whom was the transshipment envoy Pang Ji.  This guy is the prototype of Master Pang in Bao Qingtian, but this guy is not a figure who wiped out great evil in history, but is quite capable.  It can be seen from the fact that he can currently serve as the transfer envoy of Shaanxi. Since the Battle of Sanchuankou, there has been a great turmoil in the officialdom of Shaanxi. Song Renzong vigorously promoted capable officials in Shaanxi.  The deputy envoys of Shaanxi Road¡¯s pacification and economic strategy are Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan respectively, and Pang Ji can be said to be the fourth-ranked figure in Shaanxi officialdom.  Without any ability, would Song Renzong hand over such an important position to Pang Ji?  Pang Ji did not dare to neglect Zhao Juan's arrival at all, but the two did not have an in-depth conversation. On the one hand, they had a superficial relationship and it was difficult to talk in depth. On the other hand, Pang Ji was very vigorous in doing things at the moment and did not want to waste too much time on false courtesy.  time.  This also made Zhao Juan extinguish his curiosity about the great annihilator in Bao Qingtian, and he left knowingly.  Arriving at Baihu Hall, Zhao Juan saw the old man who replaced Lu Yijian as Fan Zhongyan's number one enemy after Lu Yijian fell.  There was little substance in the conversation between the two parties. Rather than coming to see him, it was more of a routine matter for Zhao Juan to express that he had not broken any rules.  And Xia Song also clearly knew that Zhao Yan¡¯s purpose in coming to see him was definitely not to meet him.Bow yourself.  Therefore, Xia Song's response was also very cold, and the content of the exchange with Zhao Juan was very stiff, as if the two were reciting a script.  It was almost time to see each other, and only then did Zhao Yan say something more meaningful.  "Shi Ji, the prisoner of Yongping Village, is quite talented. I need such talents at Qinfeng Road. I don't know if my husband is willing to part with me?"
