Zhang Dun thought to himself that he was just winning with his words, but not with his words.

He said to himself: "The nature of a gentleman is not different. He is good at fake things."

This sentence is what he has always admired. This is the case in officialdom and society. It is like going up a level. Every time you climb a level, others will look at you higher. But when you are at a lower level, others will look lower.

Take a look at you.

He has understood since he was a child that if a person wants to stand out, he must be good at fake things, that is, taking advantage of the situation. Otherwise, if a person does not climb to a higher level, he will not be enough.

To be called a gentleman can only be called a kind but useless person.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with him defecting to Zhang Yu. This was a first-class method.

Otherwise, if he is buried in Pucheng, a little Zhao Yasi can kill him.

But whose power did Zhang Yue borrow from?

Why did such a stupid brother suddenly become enlightened? The strategies he used to level the party seemed ordinary at first glance, but in the end he had nothing to do.

It seems like they sent troops to dig forts and garrison in places where Dang Xiang would definitely attack, and then waited for Dang Xiang to attack, and finally defeated Dang Xiang like this?

Until the final capture of Liangzhou, it was just a matter of overwhelming others with force.

Where can there be such a military art from ancient times to the present?

This is a truth that Zhang Dun could not understand no matter how hard he thought about it. Is it true that as the famous scholar said, Zhang Yue did not need any cunning strategy to use his troops, and Shi Fangluo won the battle unexpectedly?

Where in the world is there such a truth?

When he was young, he looked down on his younger brother and thought he had no future, and thought that he would never be able to hold up a brick wall. Now he used methods that he looked down upon and even said was useless, and he actually made a great contribution to the world.

That’s Liangzhou!

It is the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties that countless people with lofty ideals dream about.

Zhang Dun felt a little stinging in his heart, and even felt some regret. It was difficult to explain this emotion at the moment.

The two scholars saw that Zhang Dun was full of depression and didn't know what to say. The other's vision and knowledge were far superior to theirs. It was probably difficult for the two of them to reach such a high level with such a strange man.

That night everyone slept in the thatched cottage and set off at dawn the next day.

When they parted, Zhang Dun took a letter and said to them: "The Imperial Examination has passed long ago. If you take this letter and go to the Imperial Academy, they will look at my face and give you a supplementary admission."

Chance."

"It will be up to you whether it succeeds or not."

The two were overjoyed.

Zhang Dun waved his hand, he was always willing to appreciate and promote talented young people.

After Zhang Dun and his entourage left, they opened the letter and looked at it, and were surprised.

"It's him!"

The two of them raised their heads and saw that Zhang Dun and his entourage had disappeared deep into the woods.

…

Party capital.

Xingqing Mansion is also the Xingzhou among people in the Song Dynasty.

Dozens of old and important ministers were discussing with His Highness. The king of the country, Li Bingchang, and the Empress Dowager Liang, who was sitting behind the curtain, were listening to all this.

"Your Majesty, there is actually a way to deal with the Song Dynasty's fortress tactics."

"Every time they build a fort, they waste a lot of manpower and material resources. Can their national strength sustain it? If possible, why didn't they use this method earlier?" An old minister said plausibly.

Many ministers nodded in agreement.

"I think over the years since the Song emperor ascended the throne, a total of more than 200 fortresses have been built on Hedong Road, Fuyan Road, Huanqing Road, Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road, and nearly half of them are on Xihe Road and Xihe Road.

Qin Feng Road. The Song people's intention was obviously to capture Liangzhou first to seize the upper reaches, and finally combine to capture Lingzhou and Xingzhou."

"The next step is for the Song people to leave Huluchuan, follow the original road and then go north to build a city, and build the city until they reach Mingsha. Finally, they will go east by boat on Xihe Road, and the two roads will join together to attack Lingzhou."

After this veteran minister spoke, everyone's eyes became solemn.

Ruo Zhangyue must admire the other party's foresight and sagacity here. He actually explained clearly the plan for the Pingdang that he had predicted a few years ago. To be honest, there has never been a shortage of strategic masters with a long-term vision among the grassland peoples.

"Then what should we do?" Li Bingchang asked.

The old minister said: "The people of the Song Dynasty have limited financial and material resources. If they continue to build fortresses like this, the country will not be able to support it. We can trade land for time."

"Let the city go!"

"Move the capital to Dingzhou in the north, or even move it to Keyimen, to get closer to the Liao Kingdom. Song people have short legs and it is impossible to travel long distances here!"

When they heard about the idea of ​​moving the capital, the whole court was in an uproar.

Is the Song Dynasty's fortress warfare insurmountable? Are they actually forced to move their capital?

But no one is willing to move the capital.

Xingqing Mansion has been operating as the capital of Dangxiang State for decades. The land here is fertile and rich, and there is danger from the Yellow River.

They are all used to living here.

But where is Dingzhou? It is at the foot of the east mountain of Helan Mountain. The city here is small, how can it accommodate so many people.

Not to mention Keyimen further north, which is extremely desolate, almost reaching the border between Dangxiang and Liao Kingdom.

Moving the capital here is even more unacceptable to them.
