Half a month later, Cai Yanqing, who was the transfer envoy of Qinfeng Road, arrived in Xizhou.
Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Gao Zunyu all received orders. Cai Yanqing also attached great importance to Xihe Road and chose Xizhou as his first stop as the road transfer envoy.
At the same time, Guo Kui and Wang Anshi had frequent disagreements. Guo Kui resigned from the post of envoy of Qin Feng Road and appointed Lu Gongbi to judge Qinzhou. He served as the envoy of Qin Feng Road as a Taiwei.
Han Zhongyan also served as the general magistrate of Qinzhou. He originally wanted to come to Xihe Road, but Han Qi refused, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing.
There is no final conclusion as to who has a higher official position and who has a lower official position.
The deputy envoys of the third division, such as Yantie, and the deputy envoys of the household department, are appointed from among the long-serving transfer envoys. They must be selected from those who have served as transfer envoys on the three roads of Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi.
If arranged according to the imperial class, the envoy of the third division is above the zhizhigao, the imperial emissary of zhizhi is above the waiting envoy, the deputy envoy of the third division is above the deputy envoy of the third division, and the deputy envoy of the third division is above the transfer envoy.
Although the official positions of Deputy Envoy of the Third Department, Zhiza Yushi, Compilation, and Commentary on Living Things, and Zhisherenyuan are the same, and Cai Yanqing also studied Living Commentary at the same time, and also went directly to Shirenyuan, and was just promoted.
Tianzhang Pavilion is pending, but the official position is still under Zhang Yue.
However, in terms of actual power, Zhang Yue is not as good as Cai Yanqing. One more thing that the economic and strategic envoy has than the transport envoy is military power. However, the military power in Zhang Yue's hands was precisely divided by Gao Zunyu, making him somewhat unworthy of the name of the economic and strategic envoy.
He still had to look at Cai Yanqing's face when it came to transferring troops and rations.
However, after Cai Yanqing met Zhang Yue, he still met Zhang Yue with the courtesy of a lower official.
Both of them had their own thoughts and didn't say much. At the reception banquet in the evening, they retreated to talk alone.
Cai Yanqing and Zhang Yue sat across from each other. Cai Yanqing poured wine for Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue immediately reciprocated the favor.
Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "This time I left the capital and came to Qinfeng Road to take up my post. I made a special trip to visit Prime Minister Wu. I have benefited a lot from his guidance."
Zhang Yue heard Cai Yanqing's words of kindness and said: "When we were working together in Sherenyuan, I mentioned to Lao Taishan that Cao Shuai was outstanding in writing and talented. I think Lao Taishan was deeply impressed by Cao Shuai."
But no matter how much Cai Yanqing was promoted by Wang Anshi, Zhang Yue was still wondering what kind of cards the opponent was playing?
Cai Yanqing said: "That's right, I have a serious matter that I want to discuss with Du."
"Commander Cao, please tell me."
"This trip to the capital coincided with Cai Zizheng (Cai Ting) becoming the prime minister. He talked about his experience in teaching soldiers and horses on the Jingyuan Road in the Chongzheng Hall. He was deeply appreciated by the officials and Wang Xianggong, and he intended to promote this method to
In the world, I wonder if Zhang Jinglue has heard of this?"
Of course Zhang Yue heard about it.
Who is Cai Ting?
He was promoted by Fan Zhongyan. When Fan Zhongyan first promoted Hedong and Shaanxi, Cai Ting was the official in the Xuanfu Department.
However, Cai Ting was dishonest and secretly informed Lu Yijian about everything in the Xuanfu Division, because this incident greatly damaged his character.
But Cai Ting was very talented. When Li Liangzuo invaded the south, it was he who supervised the army and defeated Dangxiang's attack, which led to the victory in the Battle of Dashun City.
However, Cai Ting's official career was very bumpy.
In the third year of Xining's reign, Qin Fenglu's envoy Li Shizhong was dismissed. At that time, Cai Ting or Guo Kui was recommended to replace Li Shizhong as the envoy, but in the end Dou Shunqing was appointed.
Later, after Lu Gongbi dismissed the privy envoy and added deputy privy envoys, everyone discussed Feng Jing and Cai Ting to choose a replacement, and finally chose Feng Jing.
After Han Jiang resigned as prime minister, he recommended several people. One of them was Cai Ting, the envoy of Jingyuan Road. He believed that with his talents, he could shoulder the heavy responsibility and assume the defense of the entire Shaanxi Road against the party. However, Wang Anshi objected and said that Cai Ting should be awarded the post.
The great power will make him only focus on the Jingyuan Road, and the matter will be ignored.
All in all, with Cai Ting's talent, he should have been promoted a long time ago, but he has never been promoted because there is no one in the court.
Cai Ting himself was also very depressed and wrote a poem, which included the sentence "As the years pass by, I miss the old age. Who cares about the Jade Pass and people grow old?".
After writing it, Cai Ting asked his singer to sing it. Anyway, everyone who visits Cai Ting's home will hear his singer singing this song.
Everyone knew about this poem, and finally it reached the officials. After hearing this, the officials couldn't help but feel pity for Cai Ting, so they called him back to Beijing and served as deputy privy envoy.
Guan Ren is old, I miss him very much, and there is a gap in the central management, so I will keep it for you.'
But this is not the real inside story. The reason why Cai Ting was able to serve as the Privy Councilor was because he was married to Zeng Gongliang, so he went through the back door.
As soon as Cai Ting was promoted to Privy Councilor, he recommended the work he had already promoted on Jingyuan Road. When Wang Anshi heard that it could be used, he also strongly supported it, making this method a part of Xining's reform.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Yanqing: "What Commander Cao said was the general strategy that Cai Shuping first practiced on Jingyuan Road? I heard that the officials issued an edict to try out this general strategy on various roads in Hebei Province."
Cai Yanqing nodded and asked, "What do you think of this method?"
Zhang Yue said: "The problem in the art of war is that the generals don't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the generals." I heard that when Fan Wenzhenggong led the troops on Yanyan Road, he divided the 18,000 forbidden soldiers into six generals.
, every time the general would send someone to direct the training. At that time, Prime Minister Cai was under his command."
Cai Yanqing said: "That's right. I was listening to Cai Shuxiang's performance in the palace. The key to this general's art of war lies in disarmament and the placement of generals. At the beginning, he suggested that this general's art of war be implemented in all roads in Shaanxi first.
One hundred and twenty-seven, and two hundred and twenty-seven, a total of one hundred battalions were cut.
"After the abolition, there were 300 people in the first battalion of the horse army and 400 people in the first battalion of the infantry. The soldiers were divided into soldiers who joined the team and those who did not join the team. The soldiers who joined the team were responsible for training and went to the front in case of war. The soldiers who did not join the team were responsible for cooking.
They provide food, transport baggage, and guard the passes. After the generals are appointed, they are responsible for military affairs, and the states and counties are not allowed to interfere."
Zhang Yue pondered what Cai Yanqing meant and asked, "Does Commander Cao mean to try out the art of war on our Xihe Road?"
Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "It's not decided yet. I'm a newbie here and don't know the local customs, so I first consulted with the manager to see if it would work or not? After all, the imperial court is only trying it on Jingyuan Road and Hebei Road.
"
"If this method is inconvenient, just pretend that I didn't say what I said tonight. But if we don't wait for the imperial edict and take the initiative to do it, we will dare to be the first in the world. When the time comes, Wang Xianggong will also look at the plan with admiration!"
After Cai Yanqing was beaten by Wu Chong, he was thinking about how to handle his relationship with Zhang Yue all the way from Bianjing to Qinfeng.
Cai Yanqing thought about it again and again, and then proposed the art of war to Zhang Yue.
What Zhang Yue thought was that the Art of War was proposed by Cai Ting and strongly supported by Wang Anshi. As long as he could take the lead in implementing the Art of War on Xihe Road, his relationship with Wang Anshi would be eased.
But the problem is that the art of war strengthens the power among several generals, but in turn weakens the power of the strategic envoy and the commander-in-chief of troops and horses.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Yanqing: "Let me consider this matter."
Cai Yanqing said: "That's fine. I hope Jinglue will reply as soon as possible."
