Shao Song

Zhao Jiu did not deliberately play the gomoku game with Liu Ziyu, which was so easy to teach his opponent, but immediately got up and ordered:

　　 sent out sentry rides to quickly explore west along the north and south banks of Rushui;

　　 sent officials to various surrounding villages and towns to assist local officials to lead the people into Ruyang;

　　 sent a messenger to look for Wang De and Han Shizhong to the north, inform them of the current situation, and ask them to act carefully in case they encounter siege in the wild;

　　 Then, because Yang Yizhong was not there, he specially delivered a decree to let Hu Yantong, who was in the city at this time, be careful to guard, and directly charge the princes to the city defense;

　　 In the end, it was natural to call the four sang-gong and Yu Shi Zhong Cheng Zhang Jun, the Yu Ying Du commander Wang Yuan and others to come to meet.

　　 And waiting until this time, before the ministers arrived, Zhao Guanjia just called for someone to help A side military staff officer Liu Ziyu and asked: "Yan Xiu, do I have any omissions in this schedule?"

Liu Ziyu was obviously stupefied by the calm and methodical nature of the Zhao officials. At this time, after hearing this, he answered, "The officials are calm and calm, with the style of the ancient famous monarch, and all the dispatches and assignments are also proper. surprise……"

　　Zhao Jiu sat down on the porch, letting the waiter help Jia, and couldn't help but smile: "Habits have become natural. Sitting on the front line for two months, even a fool will know a little bit."

　　 "It's just an official." Liu Ziyu hesitated for a moment, but said seriously. "The minister thought that there was no need for the officials to wear armours, so as not to sprout branches."

　　 Zhao Jiu was taken aback, and he immediately signaled to his side servant to stop temporarily, then stared at Liu Ziyu and asked, "Why is this?"

　　 "The official...just now the official ordered five things, and the minister took the liberty to ask the official five questions." Liu Ziyu confronted him sternly. "Can it?"

　　 "Speak up."

　　 "This is the first... Is Ruyang City strong?"

　　 Of course it's sturdy!

　　, the scholar Kobayashi next to him had already gasped for breath, and the old problems in his heart naturally followed up...but I don't know why, this time he just responded instinctively in his heart, but didn't think deeply, but was a little trance.

　　 "Of course it's sturdy." Zhao Guanjia, who still had a chain on his arm, sighed slightly, and replied in a straightforward manner. "Ruyang City is a famous city in the world. Although the ancient county is called Runan, this city is obviously located in the north of Rushui, so it is called Ruyang...Rushui comes from the north, but when it comes to the city, it circles the city south to the east. Going, making this city surrounded by water on three sides and a high wall, such a city, no matter how strong it is, there are not many serious cities that day."

　　 "Exactly." Liu Ziyu nodded again and again. "In fact, if it weren't the case, Taiwei Han wouldn't ask Yili officials to come here first when Caizhou City was still in disorder...The minister took the liberty to ask, why is such a strong city so easily broken by the gold before? "

　　 "Naturally because he didn't guard at all." Zhao Jiu shook his head repeatedly. "You forgot, Henan Yin Sun Zhaoyuan wanted to recruit the defeated soldiers under this city, but the defeated soldiers killed him instead."

　　 Liu Ziyu did not comment, but said nothing.

　　 "It has nothing to do with this." Upon seeing this, Zhao Guanjia immediately woke up and changed his mind. "In the end, it was Jingxi who collapsed to the end, and never raised the anger. Under the situation of the collapse, nothing can be done...It's not that I have never seen a collapsed soldier."

　　 "Then the minister asks again, are the two thousand soldiers of the Huyan Control System and the Yuqian Banzhi in the city at this time the kind of defeat?"

Zhao Jiu finally laughed: "I know, Yan Xiu wants to say that this battle is not too dangerous, so you can leave the military affairs to Hu Yantong. I should sit quietly in the city to calm people's hearts? Just like the old days. When I was on Huai, as long as I sat on the head of the city, controlled the rest of the people and did not interfere in the military, I would do my best?"

　　 "Yes, but it's more than that." Liu Ziyu also rarely smiled, but asked again. "Officials, ministers have two more questions..."

Before the words were finished, the yard became noisy. Zhao Jiu quickly pulled off the chain of armour on his shoulders and stuffed it under the chessboard, while Feng Yi, who had been listening for a long time, drove several servants holding the armour back to the room without waiting for Zhao official’s to speak. Inside.

　　 And sure enough, after a while, Yu Wen Xuzhong, one of the four magnates, appeared in the courtyard first.

　　 These people can't help but walk so fast, they are still on the road, and they didn't treat Ruyang City as a serious foothold.

For example, the Zhao official’s house naturally lived in the backyard of the government office. The front hall of the general government office was the parliament hall, and the entire government office was naturally the palace. The two ministers in the East House occupied the county office one block away; the two West Houses of the Privy Council. For convenience, the Miangong occupies a vacant residence that is close to both places; as for the imperial commanders, they simply used the fine traditions of Zhao Guan’s family to rob a monk’s temple in the city...

　　 "Officials!"

　　 Yu Wenxu walked into the hospital, glanced at the still stupefied Bachelor Kobayashi and the newly-advanced minister Liu Ziyu, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute. "The minister was called up to this point, and on the road I saw the imperial camp suddenly rushing out dozens of straight, going everywhere, dare to ask, but what happened?"

　　 "It's one thing, but it's not in a hurry."

　　 In the morning sun of spring, the shadows of trees in the courtyard were whirling, while Zhao Guanjia sat cross-legged on the porch, holding the chessboard still, calmly replied. "So that Yu Wenxianggong knows that Zhao Zongyin from Wuguan, the monk mentioned before, went out to assist Fan Zhixu in Nanyang, but was defeated on the road and lost all his soldiers and horses. Now everyone has gone to Xiangyang, Xueshi Lin I was also forced to turn back overnight, and I just asked Han Shizhong and Wang De to inform Han Shizhong and Wang De of this message, and then call you to discuss it."

　　 Yu Wen Xu nodded slightly, then after a little thought, he sighed, obviously thinking of some consequences after the loss of Wuguan.

　　Russian, Wang Boyan, Xu Jingheng, Zhang Jun, and Wang Yuan arrived in sequence. After a while, Lu Xianggong, who was extremely busy recently, also arrived, but it is rare to have another informal meeting in the political affairs hall.

　　 And when Mr. Kobayashi waited for Lu Xianggong to arrive, he put down Liu Yan's reminder under the cue of Zhao Guanjia's eyes. He only talked about the glorious deeds of the monk Zongyin, and didn't say much about the rest.

　　 When the public heard this, they naturally sighed with emotion.

　　 "In this way, wouldn't the wiping out of this part become a bubble of dew?" Wang Boyan and Wang Xianggong stomped his feet again and again, as if he had suffered a lot. "Wuguan is empty, this person can easily return to Guanzhong from there to join the Wanyan Lou room."

　　 "If you don't fight, you won't fight." Xu Jingheng and Xu Xianggong were relieved. "It doesn't matter if you don't fight, let him go, it will be...there is a mess, it's time to clean up."

　　 "Never mind it!" Lu Haowen, who is in good spirits lately, is also the prime minister who is actually acting, nodding his head again and again after a little thought. "Actually, this is also good."

　　 Zhao Jiu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say...Because of these few fraternal attitudes right now, really waiting for Wanyan Yinshu to rush to the city, wouldn't he really panic and leave the city?

　　As soon as I thought of this, the Zhao official family instinctively went to see a few young ministers.

However, the performance of these people at this time was also a bit disappointing. Zhang Jun only looked at Liu Ziyu, as if he was worried but didn't understand the situation with a little knowledge, so he only wanted to get a letter and reminder; and Xiaolin also had a special experience at this time. There is no appearance of asking for a fight before, and even the deep posture of the city palace in the past. After some words are said, this Yutang scholar who knows the inside story is a little tranced and free, which makes people look suspicious...

　　 Of course, considering that a bachelor is riding a horse back and forth all night, it is not easy to force anything, but it is the one who deserves to be the most generous right now.

Then I went to see Liu Ziyu. Obviously, this young official who grew up in the barracks and experienced almost the entire Jin-Liao warfare was also obviously disappointed with these people...even if he had just reminded Zhao Jiu that he was an official. If you really want to play a role in the military, the best way is to restrain certain people from interfering in the military.

　　 Seeing that everyone was speechless, Zhao Jiu wanted to hold back these people and just fooled around.

However, at this moment, a person who was ignored by the Zhao official family suddenly said: "Officials, the ministers take the liberty to ask. Now that Wuguan is vacant, there is a way to retreat calmly, but why should it be so easy? Go west? If the minister is silver, he can naturally break Dengzhou, plunder Nanyang and then go! Even turn around and use the cavalry to find a battle. If you can win, you will win. If you can't win, it's not too late to leave, right? , We can't catch up."

　　 Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw that the imperial capital controlled Wang Yuan, and they were silent... Obviously, these people still had some trust in Wang Yuan's military judgment.

　　 After a while, Lu Haowen's face sank like water, and he opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly he thought of something, and then he was startled: "Who is Yinshu, isn't it Nichuhe?"

　　 The official Zhao's and Liu Ziyu looked at each other and cried out inwardly.

　　 "The good teacher Lu Xianggong knows that in the past few days, the lower officials gathered the rebels from various places in Caizhou, but they took the opportunity to ask some things clearly..." Wang Yuan hurriedly reported back. "Nanichuhe is an accent. The person who came here was the king of the Jin Dynasty clan who captured the Liao Kingdom Tianzuo Emperor and Xi Wang Xiamo alive, and participated in the Taiyuan First War!"

　　 Lu Haowen was immediately surprised.

　　 "Don't care about gold or silver!" Zhao Guanjia suddenly said. "Our army has tens of thousands of people in the front, are you still afraid of him? As for Dengzhou Nanyang, but I can only do everything to obey the destiny... Anyway, I have sent a squad straight to tell Han Shizhong and Wang Dezhen It's wrong, they have their own judgments as the veterans."

　　 "The officials have made such a proper arrangement, but the officials have thought about it a lot." Wang Yuan heard badly, and quickly bowed his head to right.

　　 "It's time to tell Han Shizhong and Wang De earlier." Yu Wen Xuzhong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly exited. "Because Wanyan Yinshu is unusual for this person. He uses cavalry well and often makes unexpected moves... Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom and Wang Xiamo Xi. Some people say that they were captured by the Wanyan Lou chamber. This is true. In fact, since the Jinren set up their troops, Yinshu often served as subordinates and lieutenants of the Lou room, and the two often cooperated in battle. Therefore, if you look closely, Emperor Tianzuo and Xiamo were actually captured by Yinshucan. Taiyuan 1 In the war, this person even destroyed the main force of the Western army with the Lou Shi’s 200,000 yuan, and his troops were quite capable of fighting. Therefore, the officials thought that since this person’s past experience has gone, he can’t say that he will not go to see Deng at all. On the contrary, I will lightly ride to Caizhou to see what is going on, maybe! Officials, please take precautions early!"

　　 The other mates and Zhang Jun all panicked.

Seeing this shape, Zhao Jiu, who was sitting there cross-legged, sighed slightly, but in turn made a serious question: "Yin Sang Gong, you only know that Yin Shu can capture Emperor Tian Zuo and Wang Xia alive, and also know that Yin Shu can fight Taiyuan. Great credit, then do you know how he captured the two alive? How did he fight Taiyuan?"

　　 "Chen..."

　　 "I have felt the military hardship in the past six months, so I often have dinner and talk with the soldiers, but I know a lot of things." Zhao Jiu said slowly. "Emperor Tian Zuo is exactly the same as Xia Mo. They both heard that silver art could cause light soldiers to rush in. One abandoned the city and the other abandoned the army and fled. The result was a small group of elites dispatched by the silver art beforehand. , Easy capture. As for the battle of Taiyuan, the reinforcement horses were forced by the center behind them, and they moved forward in multiple ways, but they were not under each other, and the progress was inconsistent, so he calmly rounded Taiyuan city one by one and removed... you have you understood?"

　　 Yuwen Xuzhong bowed his head and said nothing, but the other Xianggong did not understand the official meaning clearly.

　　 "Officials, it is better to quickly issue gold medals to summon Han Shizhong and Wang De to return to the city." Lu Haowen spoke to each other earnestly.

　　 "Maybe to take shelter in Gwangju to the south." Xu Jingheng was also very nervous.

　　 At this time, Zhao Guanjia was really impatient, but he took a long breath, then hula opened one of the chessboards, revealing the chain of armor hidden underneath.

　　 The courtyard was silent for a moment, only flowers and trees swayed, light and shadow intertwined, and a ground of black and white chess pieces dotted the green space.

　　 "Do I have to say something bad?!"

　　 Zhao Guanjia stood up with a sense of suffocation, but pulled the chain of armour and walked under the corridor with his hands, then suddenly turned around and spoke sharply. "Do you think you really know the soldiers?! If you know the soldiers, why would Taiyuan be defeated like that?! Why is there the shame of Jingkang?! I knew that silver art might be approaching, and I would almost wear armor. Do nothing, just because there are fussers like you in the city! Today’s things, I have made it clear to you! The city defense has its own way to deal with it, so don’t interfere! If you can pretend to be deaf on these military affairs Dumb is the blessing of the world!"

　　 "The minister is terrified and unbearable, please resign..."

　　 "What's your resignation?" Zhao Jiu became more and more angry, but threw the armor chain to the ground. "The golden man will come without knowing when, at this time, if you feel wronged, you have to resign... You are wronged, I am not wronged? Every time I fight, I have to coax the front and the back again, and worry about the front. The sergeant was cut off by the officer, and for a while he had to prevent you from intervening in the back, and for a while he saw the generals in front fighting each other for merit, and for a while he had to think about what you said whether it was a hidden meaning... you think this officer Is my home what I want to be?! I also want to resign, are you allowed?!"

　　Lu Hao asked the following, all stood silently, and the only military officer Wang Yuan had already knelt down.

　　 "Okay, that's the way it is." As if the anger had suddenly disappeared, the Zhao Guanjia also suddenly returned to normal, but slightly raised his hand to face each other. "From the perspective of this person's past behavior based on silver art, I think he will come out of the box nine out of ten, but the more so, the less panic...otherwise it will be in the hands of this person. Because this battle has two key points, One is that you must not be scared by this person's name and leave the strong city; the other is that you must not rush to call Han Shizhong and Wang De here on the grounds of safety in order to prevent being besieged by the city!"

　　 Lu Haowen and the others were unable to, and as they looked at each other, they could only suppress the feeling of anxiety in their hearts and bow their heads to their fate.

As soon as everyone left, including Yushi Zhongcheng Zhang Jun and Yuyingdu commander Wang Yuan, they had no choice but to disperse their identities. For the time being, only Kobayashi and Liu Cengjun were left... Kobayashi was a Yutang scholar, who was a close minister, and Liu The dispatch of the Department of Defense and the Ministry of Defense recently stayed on the side of the official and became a new servant. Counselor Yuqian Military, referred to as Liu Canjun, is also a well-known thing.

　　 "The officials have worked hard..." As soon as the person left, Liu Ziyu bowed his head and sighed, but he couldn't help being more careful in his words.

　　 "It's okay." Zhao Guanjia reluctantly sat under the corridor, and looked at the chess pieces all over the floor and shook his head. "Yan Xiu has something to ask before, so why not talk about it?"

　　 "There are two more questions, but one of the officials knows better than anyone else... It is precisely to ask Yan Yinshu about this person's past experience and skills."

　　 Zhao Jiu nodded suddenly, and then picked up the chess pieces on the ground together with Feng Yi on the side.

"However, the minister does have one last question." Liu Ziyu saw the official leaning over and picking it up, willing to help, but because Feng Yi was there, he was not in the same row, and was able to lower his head to pick up the armour chain, and then stood awkwardly. On one side, continue to speak.

　　 "It doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Jiu knowingly stopped.

　　 "The officials dare to ask the official family. Does the official family think that at this time should they be able to fight with Wanyan Yinshu, or should they not fight him?" Liu Ziyu asked carefully.

　　 "What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu frowned slightly. "Wan Yan Yinshu can appear here, can it be me that has the final say?"

　　 "The minister didn't mean that, the minister was asking about the attitude of the officials..." Liu Ziyu glanced at the gloomy scholar Kobayashi standing on one side, hesitated a little, but still asked. "Do you think that there is a battle, and there is a perfect face silver skill to be here, but it is a bit more joyful, at least there is something to do?"

　　 Zhao Jiu stunned, but couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think I should be happy? Or I will ask you, Liu Qing, do you think we should fight Wanyan Yinshu at this time?"

　　 "The minister doesn't think it." Liu Ziyu replied simply. "The ministers have always known the enemy and we are fictitious, and now we are in an unstable footing, the army is mixed, and the system is not established. It is really not a good time to fight..."

　　 "But you think I am looking forward to war. After Huai's last bet was successful, I didn't want to settle down honestly?" Zhao Jiu interrupted the opponent with a few chess pieces, and asked with a smile. "do you mean this?"

　　 "The minister just said yes, the times are different, and it doesn't mean to detract from the achievements of the Huai Shang war." Liu Ziyu quickly explained. "The Jinren offensive was like a tide. Before the Huai River, it was at the height of the tide. If the official Huaishang were not successful in the first battle, I am afraid that Huainan will be reduced to Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, and Guanxi..."

"Yes, I look at the account books of the Ministry of Households. The Huainan East and West Roads can turn over a million horses every year on silk and silk, plus taxes and grain, enough to raise one hundred thousand troops, and another 200 thousand in the southeast. Jingxiang settles down. It can also raise 200,000 down, and Bashu can also raise 100,000..." Zhao Jiu suddenly talked about some nonsense that has been popular recently.

　　 "Unless these few places are also feudal towns, they can't raise so many." Liu Ziyu said with a smile. "The minister estimated that in the end it would be good to raise two hundred thousand combatable soldiers together... and the minister wanted to say that was not the case. The minister wanted to ask the official, now that the tide is falling, why can't the Jin Ren rest assured? Establish a system, recuperate and rejuvenate, first defend, then fight, spend three or five years, raise an army of 200,000, in an attempt to rejuvenate the two rivers?"

　　 Zhao Jiu finally shook his head: "Is this what you thought, or did Zhang Deyuan and the others mean it?"

　　 "Both." Liu Ziyu also became serious. "Zhang Xiantai felt that the officials had toiled up to this point. He was obviously uneasy in his actions. The so-called he wanted to do something but had no way of doing things. He didn't know what to do. The ministers faced each other in the imperial court in the past two days. It is fearful... However, unlike others who fear war, officials seem to be afraid of peace, for fear that once the fighting stops, they will be at a loss. Moreover, Zhang Deyuan has scruples, such words only exist in his heart, but he does not dare to fight with them. The official said."

Zhao Jiu sighed and stood up: "You and Zhang Deyuan are both smart people. Both are right, but neither is right... For me, you people are smarter than the other, but you are often restricted by your vision, and you use both wisdom and energy. Wrong place."

　　 Liu Ziyu is stagnant. This is not the first time someone says that his vision is low. The point is that the person who said that his vision is low has now become a person who is ‘subject to vision’.

"For example, you people, regardless of your position on the gold, always tell me about the system rules, the prescriptive family laws, and it seems that as long as you stay steady and rebuild the system, Then everything will be fine." Zhao Jiu said quietly while rubbing the chess piece in his hand. "But in fact, from my point of view, I only talk about military matters. The more the Song Dynasty’s prescriptive family law and system are implemented properly, the more bad things will be! Because of the military prescriptive family law system of the Song Dynasty. , From the beginning, it was from the inside out! With your methods, this great Song Dynasty will die faster!"

　　 Liu Ziyu heard the four words ‘anti-internal, virtual-external’. If he was struck by lightning, even if he wanted to speak, he didn’t know what to say. Next to him, Mr. Kobayashi also recovered a little, and seemed to want to say something.

　　 However, at this point, Zhao Guan's house has opened the gate and can't stop.

He threw down the chess pieces and stood up from the corridor. He looked at Liu Ziyu who was obviously a little misbehaving with his negative hand, but sincerely said: "Yanxiu, Zhang Deyuan is right. I am really upset, but the reason for the uneasy is not being at a loss, but rather I know exactly what to do! What you said is right. I seem to be a little afraid of the situation after the withdrawal of the golden man. But the reason why I am like this is not because I like the barbaric things like fighting and killing people, but compared to these things. , Other things are too difficult! There is only one Wang Anshi doing his best in this dynasty, and he was almost stigmatized as the culprit of Jingkang’s shame. In fact, if I can live in peace and live a hundred years, how would I be willing to do it? What about this kind of thing? But it’s not about time waiting, it’s not about the expectations of many people, the shame of Jingkang, the lives of two rivers in the Central Plains, the determination to be a good official, the determination to do it personally, and the determination to change the world. ?"

　　 Liu Ziyu and Xiao Lin Xueshi were already stupid, and Feng Yi, who was next to him, turned his eyes dizzyingly.

"This is why I know that Li Xianggong and the other few comrades who really want to fight against gold are rare in the world, but put him far in the southeast." Zhao Guanjia continued to sigh~www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Actually, it’s okay to really let him be in power. Maybe after ten or twenty years, there will be a general recovery after all, but since I am determined to do things seriously, I can’t just watch him go around in circles and spend time... Yanxiu, the golden man is not that strong, and I also know how to go, so don't worry! Also let Zhang Deyuan not worry! "

　　 "The ministers were terrified, but they didn't know the ambition of the officials."

　　 "Actually, I've been holding back this for a long time. I wanted to find someone to talk about it. Since you came to ask for Zhang Deyuan, I will just talk to you." Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed again. "Don't worry too much."

　　 How can Liu Yanxiu not care?

　　 And on the other side, how could Zhao Jiu really say everything in his heart?

The overall conservativeness of the Song Dynasty's civil politics; if the Jinren does not do his best, it will not leave the Song Dynasty with a respite; the total corruption of the Song Dynasty army; the possible crisis after the Jinren in the future; and the determination to compete with Yue Peng His personal ambition or ambition...How could it be possible to confide in Liu Ziyu who has only met for a few days?

　　 is nothing more than realizing that his team is worried about his Zhao official family's performance during this period, so he can calm down his heart.

　　 "Officials!"

　　 After the Caizhou Mansion’s backyard became quiet again, there was no time to stick incense. Suddenly, the imperial commander Hu Yantong broke in in embarrassment. "Official! The sentry is here to report that a culprit has arrived!"

　　 "Why panic?" Zhao Guanjia casually scolded.
