Come to Song Dynasty with the system

For a while, the Kaqi tribe became stronger, and the number of troops doubled. The living soil of some small and medium-sized tribes that were originally neutral continued to shrink. As a last resort, in order to survive, they had to surrender to the Kaqi tribe and become kings.

The Kaqi tribe, which had become powerful for a while, began to raise its troops, thinking about committing the second crime of the Song Dynasty after the beginning of spring.

Liao.

After successive defeats, Liao's high-level officials who did not reap any benefits have already felt the threat brought by Song Dynasty.

After Zhang Jian returned to Shangjing all the way, he soon met some important officials in the court.He first reached an agreement with Ye Luren, the deputy privy envoy of the Northern Academy, after affirming the threat theory of the Song Dynasty.

With its help, he lobbied many people, and finally got Liao Xingzong Yeluzong's true permission, and the Liao army sent another 20 troops into the Song Dynasty to fight, and it was necessary to save all the previous losses.

Western Xia.

The originally good situation was ruined.

All this was caused by Su Shi, which also made Xixia King Li Yuanhao very angry.

It is rare that Xixia and Liao are united in attacking Song Dynasty.

It is rare that a courtier like Wen Yanbo appeared in the Song Dynasty who would rather suffer a loss than go to war.

The original idea was very good, but with Su Shi's two big fires, all the advantages were burned to one defeat.

It's all right now, the goal of severely injuring the Song Dynasty and the Great Song Western Army has not been achieved, but on the contrary, he has lost troops and lost generals.

Naturally, this result did not satisfy Li Yuanhao. Apart from scolding Liao and Meng for their incompetence, he also considered the matter of withdrawing troops.

Xixia is too poor, too poor to support a protracted war.Now that the [-] army is out, the daily food consumption is an astronomical figure. If it hadn't been for the robbing of a lot of money from the northern border of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that they would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

Li Yuanhao had the idea of ​​retreating, but the Prime Minister Zhang Yuan put forward a different idea.

He believes that Xixia must not retreat when the battle has reached this point.

Otherwise, once Da Song reacted and sent troops to the west of them, they would only face their opponents alone, and they would not even be able to find an ally.

Now we should continue to fight on the basis that the Liao Kingdom is already an enemy of the Song Dynasty, and at the very least, we must fight the bloody feud between Song and Liao.In this way, even if it is the day Xixia retreats, there is no need to worry that the Song people will retaliate against them.

If Song and Liao could continue to fight at that time, that would of course be the best thing.

If that's the case, no one will pay attention to them Xixia.

At that time, whether they wanted to take the opportunity to develop or send troops directly, they had too much autonomy.

Zhang Yuan's statement was quickly recognized by Li Yuanhao.According to the other party's suggestion, he mobilized the army and began to put pressure on the western border of Song Dynasty.

It is impossible to send reinforcements to the northern border, but they can threaten the western border of the Great Song Dynasty and force the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty that had entered the northern border to retreat, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the northern border.

There were many more Xixia troops on the opposite side of the western border. Without further ado, Chen Zhizhong wrote a memorial and sent it to Bianliang City in an expedited six hundred miles.

Chen Zhizhong had his own calculations, that is, no matter whether the battle could be fought or not, it was always right to ask the court for food and money.

Chen Zhizhong would not miss this kind of opportunity to ask for things in a fair and honest manner.

The memorandum also stated that the situation in the western region was dangerous, and that Di Qing's troops, who had been sent to the northern region before, would be sent back.

Soon, Zhao Zhen in the palace received this memorial, and called some important officials to discuss matters in Longtu Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, we must guard against the troubles of Xixia. I believe that we should strengthen our armaments in advance to prevent accidents. And Di Qing's subordinates can order them to return to the western border. After all, there is no war in the northern border." Prime Minister Du Wei stood up and took the lead Express your attitude.

There are also factions among civil servants, which are small groups of people with good personal relationships and similar ideas.

The relationship between Du Wei and Chen Zhizhong has always been good, and they often communicate with each other.

That is to say, Du Wei is usually the first to support the memorials sent by Chen Zhizhong.

When Chen Zhizhong proposed to transfer Di Qing from the northern border to the Western Army, Wen Yanbo, the political counselor standing below, immediately lit up and stood up, expressing his support.

Wen Yanbo is not supporting Chen Zhizhong, nor is he trying to sell Du Wei, he is aiming at Su Shi.

Aren't you Su Shi very powerful?

According to the memorandum sent back by Bao Zheng, as soon as Su Shi made a move, the foreign race was defeated and the situation in the northern border was stabilized.

Very good, then I'll transfer the most capable person by your side now, and wait until you become a toothless tiger to see how you can stabilize the situation.

When you lose the battle, he will immediately throw trouble at that time, deal with this person well, and let others see what will happen to you if you offend yourself.

As soon as Wen Yanbo stood up, the privy envoy Wang Deyong also stood up and seconded.

Needless to say, Wang Deyong also hated Su Shi deeply.

If it weren't for Su Shi's comparison, it wouldn't appear that Wang Deyong is so incompetent.

"I also agree." Da Zongzheng Zhao Yunrang also stood up, expressing his support.But this time he did not speak out as a member of the Zhao clan, but expressed his attitude as a deputy privy envoy.

Yan Shu resigned, leaving a privy envoy position vacated by Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng was promoted to be a privy envoy, and the position of deputy envoy was vacated, so Zhao Yunrang went to Zhao Zhen to express his intention to take the position.

According to what Zhao Yunrang said, he was originally from the Zhao family, and he couldn't leave everything in the army to others, after all, he had to have his own family to be trusted.

For this reason, Zhao Yunrang also sent some money to Empress Cao in advance. With her help, Jia Changchao, the prime minister belonging to the empress's family, also expressed support when Zhao Zhen asked her opinion, and this Da Zongzheng officially became a member of the public. One of the ministers became a deputy envoy of the court.

With so many people standing up to express their support, Fu Bi, the political adviser who originally wanted to raise some different opinions, knew that he could not do it alone, so he first looked at the prime minister Pang Ji standing in front of him.

For a while, Pang Ji seemed to be attracted by something. He was looking up at the sky with his eyes at this moment, with a dazed look, as if he hadn't paid attention to government affairs at all.

This scene let Fu Bi know that Pang Ji would not stand up and object.

He simply closed his mouth.It is useless to stand up and oppose, so why stand up?

His father-in-law Yan Shu had to resign because he made a wrong decision and supported the wrong person.

The lessons learned from the past are there, so he has to be careful in his actions.In addition, there was no news from Su Shi before, telling him what to do, so he was also happy to watch the show.

In the end, there were a lot of support, and only Song Ting, the envoy of the Third Division, stood up and said that although the national treasury had some spare money, it could not withstand the consumption of the war. mouth.

Song Tickle is definitely a smart person.

Usually, as long as the matter has nothing to do with him, he will not express any opinions.He only needs to guard his one-acre three-point land and do things well. He believes that the officials will continue to support him, trust him, and reuse him.

In front of all the ministers, Zhao Zhen accepted the opinions of the majority and asked for funds to be allocated to the Western Army. At the same time, he also issued an order to let Di Qing's troops return from the northern border to the western border.

In the previous dynasty, Emperor Zhao Zhen was still discussing affairs.

But the topic has spread to the palace, and Zhao Xi, who is studying in the Royal Academy, learned about it from his teacher Li Di.

"Teacher, the northern territory has not been completely recovered, and the Xixia and Liao armies have not withdrawn from our Song territory. Let Di Qing return to Xijing now. If this is the case, will there be too much pressure on Su Shaofu?"

Zhao Xi said that Su Shi was not a loyal general, but a young mansion, which meant that he still regarded Su Shi as a civil servant, following the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, which was actually promoting Su Shi.

"The truth is the same, but whether it is the northern region or the western region, they are all part of our Song Dynasty. Now that something is going on in the western region, your majesty can only keep a bowl of water to make peace, otherwise the western region will really appear because Di Qing's troops did not return. No one can bear the responsibility for any mistakes.”

"Your Majesty should have seen this and agreed to Chen Xianggong's memorial."

Li Di first analyzed and told Zhao Xi what the current emperor thinks about such a problem.And if you become the emperor in the future, how will you deal with such a thing.

After saying these words, Li Di coughed heavily twice, causing Zhao Xi to ask with concern, "Teacher, but I'm not feeling well, hurry up and pass on the word to the imperial physician."

"It's okay, it's just getting older and coughing worse, it's just an old problem, it's not a problem." Li Di waved his hand, and continued with a look of nothing: "Your Highness, this person in the Su Shaofu He has a talent for commanding troops. But he is still too young in the end. The so-called jade is not perfect. Now there is a chance to train him."

"If he can rely on his own strength to defend the northern border this time, it will prove that he has passed the test. His Highness can reuse this person when he ascends the throne in the future. In this way, the border of the Song Dynasty can be worry-free for decades."

"On the contrary, if Su Shaofu can't bear the pressure this time, it can only show that his ability is limited. Such a person is not worthy of being reused by His Royal Highness, and will be relied on in the future."

Li Di's words are completely from the bottom of his heart, and he is helping Zhao Xi analyze them as the emperor's teacher.

Among them, there is no emotional component involved, it is entirely for the purpose of teaching the art of the emperor.

After all, Zhao Xi was still young, and he was only eight years old just after the new year.Although due to the growth environment, he is much more mature than his peers, but in terms of personal feelings, he cannot take this matter lightly like his father and Li Di.

"Teacher, Su Shaofu is very good at fighting, but if Di Qing leaves, he will be unable to fight alone. If the foreign race is increasing its troops, it will be very difficult to win this battle. Don't we just watch him fail?" ?"

It can be seen that Zhao Xi had his own little emotions when he said these words.Li Di just chuckled.
