The next day, early in the morning, Wang Huanzhang raised his tent in the mansion of General Zhaowu, led his personal guards, and rushed to Hengshan Fortress to command the army to resist the evil wolves from Western Xia.And Wang Yuanzhen was also mixed in the group of relatives and followed Wang Huanzhang to the front line, where he would begin to realize the first step of his life value.Wang Yuanzhen knew his responsibilities very early, and Lin Bufan never shied away from this when he taught him, and even continued to guide him in that direction.Therefore, Wang Yuanzhen is an outlier among the disciples of the Huashan faction.To be honest, the previous Wang Yuanzhen was resistant to the responsibilities he carried, and his feelings for Wang Huanzhang's father were complicated, and he had even been avoiding the identity of the eldest son of General Zhaowu.Although the eight-year-old doll who is now staying in the mansion of General Zhaowu is the eldest son of Wang Huanzhang, who is officially certified, whether it is Lin Bufan, Wang Huanzhang, or even Wang Yuanzhen, they all know it.Once Wang Huanzhang raised his troops and stood on his own, it would be a blessing that the eight-year-old doll would still be alive..................
After returning from the woods outside the city last night, Wang Yuanzhen stayed awake all night, and Lin Bufan's heartfelt words caused a storm in his heart.After following Lin Bufan for so many years, Wang Yuanzhen knows very well what terrifying abilities this master has.Master is right, no matter how the world changes, no matter who sits on the highest throne.To treat people like Master, they can only offer them highly, and they dare not be disrespectful in the slightest.Personal force is to the extreme, and he also has the ability to change the world.Although the scale is small, it weighs thousands of pounds!!
But the master did not hesitate to come out of the earthly world, stepped into the troubled times, and tried his best to plan a future for this land that gave birth to him.This is Master's responsibility, and this responsibility is not imposed on him by anyone, but is borne by Master on his own initiative.With Master's example in front of me, what else can I escape............
Wang Yuanzhen knew that he couldn't be like his master and take the world as his own responsibility.But it is still possible to take on the responsibilities that belong to you............
In addition, Lin Bufan also stuffed He Ziyue into the personal guard team..................
He Ziyue was greatly stimulated when the He family was destroyed.After that, he followed the old housekeeper in the ranks of the homeless people, and came to Huashan all the way through many hardships.What is a homeless?
The homeless people are a group of people who can't survive, and they are a group of beings who want to fight for their lives at all costs.In order to survive, they can do anything."
Easy to eat" is really nothing in the eyes of this group of people.They can do more disgusting, cruel, and inhumane things............
In this environment, He Ziyue was stimulated by one can imagine.After coming to the Huashan faction, he would rather believe in dogs than people.In addition to Lin Bufan himself, the other brothers are not as good as a dog he raised in his eyes............
But Lin Bufan didn't blame him, sometimes Lin Bufan whispered a thousand words in his ear, and he couldn't afford to experience the beauty of human nature himself............
The battlefield is a strange place, the most cruel place in the world, and when it comes to dealing with enemies, they abandon their humanity and become inhumane beasts.Compared with the outcasts, they are more cruel, more dehumanizing, and have more terrifying destructive power.But at the same time, the friendship between some comrades-in-arms on the battlefield does surpass the existence of all feelings in the world.Compared with family love, it is more pure.Between life and death, any trace of filth in the hearts of the two cannot escape the test of life and death............
But to be honest, this kind of feeling is extremely rare.If a person can have such a comrade-in-arms in his life, it can be said that his life has not been in vain.Lin Bufan didn't expect He Ziyue to find such a comrade-in-arms, but at least Lin Bufan hoped that when he could fight side by side with those robes, their scorching comradeship could warm his heart that had long been frozen.As for the little girl He Erya who followed them, she had been taken into General Zhaowu's Mansion by Wang Huanzhang.In the dignified mansion of General Zhaowu, it is no problem to protect a little girl.That day outside the city of Qingyang Mansion, when the homeless people were scattered in panic under the sticks of the officials, a little girl held a wooden stick tightly and roared at the officials who gathered around.Behind her, in a haystack, lay a small child.Lin Bufan stood from a distance and saw clearly, the child was obviously sick and dead, but the little girl was still roaring like a mother beast at those "terrifying enemies" for his corpse............
Later, under the witness of Lin Bufan, Erya became He Ziyue's godsister, and He Ziyue solemnly wrote Erya into the family tree..............................
Well, he is now the head of the He family, so it's good that he's happy............
At that time, Wang Yuanzhen also took the initiative to ask Ying, wanting to help Erya choose a beautiful name, but was unanimously opposed by the two.So Erya became He Erya.Lin Bufan also felt that no matter how beautiful the name was, it couldn't match the word Erya.When the disciples had a place to go, Lin Bufan stayed in the inn with peace of mind, reading the information sent by Wang Huanzhang about Western Xia over the years.Western Xia is not a small country, it is a country that can stand with the two "superpowers" of the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty.As a person with no roots, it is not easy to go to the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom!!
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles.Lin Bufan hopes to find an entry point from this information, an entry point where he can use his means.To be honest, over the years, Wang Huanzhang's attention to Western Xia can be seen from these various intelligences.For example, Li Zunxiang, the king of Western Xia Qi, is said to have saved his life to the commander of Yipintang.Since this piece of information, which has no tangible evidence, can be solemnly transmitted back by the spies, there is an eighty percent chance that this news is true.And Wang Huanzhang's speculation about Li Zunxiang's intention to usurp the throne is also based on this piece of information.There is also this article, Li Yanzhong, the general of Western Xia, had a close relationship with Li Zunxiang, the king of Qi, but Li Yanzhong's son was married to the daughter of Zuo Shilang of the military department the year before last.It is said that Li Zunxiang, the king of Qi, once lamented in private that it was a pity that he could not become a son and daughter with Li Yanzhong.In this way, Li Yanzhong may have remained neutral when Li Zunxiang usurped the throne............
Such information, which seems to be full of maybe, maybe, alleged, approximate speculation, will now be severely refuted by the intelligence chiefs, and the intelligence officers will be urged to find out completely credible information.But at the time, they relied on this information to speculate on the other party's behavior.Especially when the two armies are facing each other, intelligence is even scarce.What the commander has to do is to speculate as much as possible about the opponent's next move through limited intelligence.We now look at the process of the battle between the two armies from God's point of view, and we will scold Fang Xuan and point out the country, which is a terrible mess.More than Sun Wu is Sun Wu, and more white than Bai Qi.But the commander at that time was completely black-eyed..................
In the case of complete asymmetry of intelligence and information, it is not impossible to fight some strange defeats..................
Therefore, Sun Wu will write down the golden and jade words of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War!!
At noon, Lin Bufan suddenly found a very interesting piece of news from the intelligence.A member of the clan of Zhang Kuo, the third envoy of the Western Xia, was active in the business routes of Western Xia and Guanzhong all the year round, and was a well-known business tycoon.The official positions of the Western Xia Dynasty are all inherited from the Great Song Dynasty, and the position of the three divisions is the highest financial officer of the country, including the three departments of salt and iron, household department, and degree branch, so it is called the three divisions.Later, because the power of the three divisions was too large and the organization was too bloated, when the Great Song Yuanfeng was restructured, it was abolished.Although the three envoys of Western Xia did not have the terrifying extent of the all-encompassing authority in the early Northern Song Dynasty.But in Western Xia, he can be regarded as a big man, and his status is second only to the governor's affairs.If a person like him wants to do business, how can he not make money............
However, Lin Bufan was not interested in whether he made money or not, he was interested in Zhang Kuo............
After that, Lin Bufan basically restored Zhang Kuo's basic information from scattered intelligence.Zhang Kuo was born in the Zhang family and is the head of the Zhang family.Over the years, because of the Western Xia Xiangzong, wars have been repeatedly set off, the people's livelihood in China has withered, and the people have suffered unspeakably.However, as the third envoy, he stabilized the economic situation of Western Xia, and stabilized the overall situation through the unequal trade export of some tribes in the west and a series of domestic reforms in Western Xia.Let Xiangzong go south again, I have to say that this is a talent............
But Lin Bufan didn't have the slightest good impression of this talent, because he was born in the Zhang clan of Western Xia.Speaking of the Zhang family, I have to mention Zhang Yuan, who is a very wonderful person.Zhang Yuan was originally born in Huayin County, Huazhou, Yongxing Junlu, well, and Lin Bufan are fellow villagers............
His surname is Zhang, and his original name is ominous.When he was young, he thought he was a talent, but he tried and failed, and in a fit of rage, he defected to Western Xia with his friends.After coming to Western Xia, he changed his name to Zhang Yuan, and his friend changed his name to Wu Hao.The two were in a tavern, drinking all day long, and wrote on the wall with a pen "Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao come to drink this building".Because this sentence contained the word Yuan Hao, it was a taboo, so they were arrested, and then they met Li Yuanhao as they wished.After that, he was valued by Li Yuanhao, and after the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty, he officially worshiped the Zhongshu order.After Li Yuanhao became emperor, the Great Song Dynasty raised troops to attack.Zhang Yuan planned almost all the strategies for fighting against the Song Dynasty, and assisted Li Yuanhao in defeating the Great Song Dynasty.After the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Zhang Yuan looked at the corpses of the Song army all over the ground, and he was very complacent.picked up the pen and wrote, "Xia Zhu He once shrugged, Han Qi was not surprised."
The dragon and tiger of the whole Sichuan are still talking about the military aircraft".Han Qi, the originally unattainable minister of the Great Song Dynasty, was defeated by his own plan, which is estimated to be the happiest time in his life.Later, he worshiped the prime minister, and out of hatred for the Great Song Dynasty, he advocated the destruction of the Song Dynasty, hoping to use the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty to create his own glory.But Li Yuanhao soberly rejected Zhang Yuan's proposal, he knew that it was no problem for him to defeat the Great Song Dynasty, as for the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a joke..................
Later, because Li Yuanhao insisted on negotiating peace with the Great Song Dynasty, he signed the "Qingli Peace Conference", which led to Zhang Yuan's depression.Although Zhang Yuan died, the Zhang family took root in Western Xia, and Zhang Kuo was the most outstanding clansman of the Zhang family in the past hundred years.For Zhang Yuan, Lin Bufan only had full disgust.In later generations, Zhang Yuan and the Bank of China of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Hongfan of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Fan Wencheng of the Qing Dynasty were nailed to the pillar of shame in history............
However, the information that Lin Bufan was most interested in was when Li Zunxiang prevented Xiangzong from going to war on the grounds that the people's livelihood in the country was withering and the treasury was empty.Zhang Kuo, the third envoy who was most qualified to say such things, did not say a word, and said that he was sick and kept his door closed............
This is interesting, at least it shows that Zhang Kuo and Li Zunxiang do not deal with each other, and may even have seen through Li Zunxiang's disobedience.In that case..................
After lunch, Lin Bufan began to wander around the "business district" of Yan'an Mansion.The so-called "business district" is a place where goods are traded on a large scale.After Lin Bufan wandered there for most of the day, he finally got the news he needed when night fell.That is, Zhang Li, the great man of Western Xia, will arrive in Yan'an Mansion in three days............
Now that the Western Xia army is approaching the city, there are even merchants from the Western Xia who are ready to appear in Yan'an Mansion in a grand manner.It may sound like a fantasy, but it was a common phenomenon at the time.Since ancient times, the profession of merchant has been active in various places and in every bit of our lives.No matter what happens, there is no way to organize their pursuit of money.Even though the war between the two countries is raging, they still go back and forth between the two countries without the slightest influence.Strangely, sometimes the two countries acquiesce in such fearless behavior of businessmen.Even some steppe peoples would send special cavalry to protect these merchants.For the merchants could bring them salt, cloth, grain, and tea, and even iron tools that were forbidden.But selling iron tools is out of bounds, and that's to kill the head.However, although the Central Plains Imperial Court repeatedly forbade it, it was inexhaustible and endless.Because behind these bold businessmen, there are a group of dignified ministers of the country, and later, that's it............
Of course, among the merchants, there are also businessmen like Nie Yi in the Han Dynasty who do things for the country, and there are also businessmen who dig up the foundation of the country like the Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty.In addition, caravans will also be used to send spies to each other..................
These businessmen in Yan'an Mansion don't care what the war wins.They only knew that Zhang Li would bring a batch of Western Xia specialties in three days, and these specialties would be the fat meat to compete with each other."
Looks like I'm going to have to do something ahead of time............"
