Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 244 Take the initiative
According to Li Buqi's request in the memorial, when the brigade left Yanmen Pass, he only waited for the guards to rush to Tokyo without making a fuss.There are fewer people and more horses, so you can walk fast. The speed is [-] kilometers to [-] kilometers a day. The distance from Yanmenguan to Tokyo is [-] kilometers. It is estimated that you will arrive in Tokyo in half a month.Along the way, Li Buqi also checked the inns set up by the Fu'an Security Bureau along the way from Bingzhou to Tokyo.

In addition to opening up more and more escort roads, the Fu'an Escort Bureau has also greatly increased the number of people and goods transported each time. Therefore, it has begun to purchase real estate along the official roads and set up its own chain of inns for the convoy and merchants to rest.What Li Buqi saw was that the Fu’an Chain Inns along the Escort Road were cleaner and more comfortable than ordinary inns, and they were more reassuring to merchants.This put Li Buqi in a good mood.

But before arriving in Zezhou, people sent by Zhang Yingniang came in a hurry and stopped Li Buqi on the way to hand him a letter.This must be something urgent, Li Buqi opened the letter right away and read it, Yao Gang’s letter mentioned one thing, but these days, the newspaper "Huang Song Zhengyi" run by the Imperial College has been advocating that Li Buqi is the current man. The only brave general who can defeat the Liao army, if he is allowed to guard the border, the Liao people will not dare to look south, and he will give Li Buqi a few high hats.In recent days, more ministers from the DPRK and China have written to ask Li Buqi to guard the three gates.Yao Gang guessed that this matter had something to do with the rumor that the emperor wanted Li Buqi to enter the Hanlin Academy a few days ago.

Yao Gang is the Mr. Yao arranged by Li Buqi for the leftover son. He is a scholar on the East Road.After failing the exam, he felt that there was no hope of being a Jinshi, so he wandered around Tokyo's Goulan as a storyteller, and also went to the gate of the princes as a Qing guest, observing the people in the capital, and wanted to find a wise master to follow, so as to fulfill his ambition of Lingyun .

Later, Li Buqi recruited a storyteller who could write commentaries, and he recruited him.After several conversations between the two, Li Buqi saw that he was indeed talented, and he knew all the stories of ancient and modern times, as well as the anecdotes of this dynasty, so he invited him into his tent.Yao Gang felt that Li Buqi's views on many things were very similar to his own, and some of his insights were more profound. He should be the person he was looking for, so he readily agreed.So Yao Gang and Zhu Changsheng, who took the initiative to vote for Li Buqi, gradually became Li Buqi's confidantes.This time Li Buqi's expedition was to let Yao and Zhu keep an eye on the movement in the court, and notify him immediately if there is any trouble.

In the letter, Yao Gang estimated that someone wanted to prevent Li Buqi from entering the academy, and wanted to kick Li Buqi into the ranks of military officers.

This method is poisonous!According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, military officers are not allowed to participate in the discussion of state affairs. Once Li Buqi is appointed as a military officer, he will only have to work and listen to yelling.If you don't agree to be a military officer, where do you put the safety of the country, the trust of the emperor, and the expectations of the people?Then your morality is questionable!
Yao Gang saw the danger and reminded Li Buqi to be careful. He would also advocate Di Qing, Guo Kui, Zhang Kang and others in the "Business Daily" and Qingyuan Academy's new "Current Affairs News" to promote Please cover up Li Buqi's "famous general" light.

After reading the letter, Li Buqi folded the letter calmly, put it in his arms, and said to the sender, "Thank you for your hard work. You have to go back immediately and tell the woman that I have already known about it, so she doesn't have to worry about it." Worry."

The person who sent the letter took the order, and Li Buqi only continued to move forward at the original speed.It is really rare for the Imperial College to advocate for himself, so let them help him to toss for a while.

Ouchi Martial Arts Hall.

As soon as Li Buqi returned to Tokyo, he was summoned by Zhao Zhen in the Hall of Martial Arts.This place of summoning seems to imply that the emperor has already had a direction for Li Buqi's next use.

The emperor asked Li Buqi in detail how he cut off the Liao army's grain road at the Great Wall, and how he went around Xijin Mansion and ran to Shanxi. I was dumbfounded.Only when Li Buqi talked about driving the Liao people under the city of Zhuozhou to attack the city, the emperor and ministers all looked disapproving, but later it was said that Li Buqi led the army and brushed shoulders with the Liao army who came from Xijin Mansion. The thrilling part of the past, that part was ignored.

After Li Buqi finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said: "Buqi is really my Great Song's flying general."

Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for winning such a famous general."

Li Buqi immediately stopped Wen Yanbo's words: "Minister Wen can't say that. For the time being, I dare to say that I can be a 'flying general', but I can't be an 'unknown general'."

The emperor asked, "Why?"

Li Buqi said: "This time, I ran more than 1000 miles in a few days. At the fastest time, I ran nearly [-] miles a day. It seems that no famous general in this dynasty has run faster than Chen, so this' For the honor of being a parachutist, I can still live in peace for the time being."

"However, I dare not recognize this 'unknown famous general'. Not to mention the famous generals of this dynasty in the past, but now, with a well-organized army and a majestic formation to defeat the enemy, my ministers are not as good as Di Qing, Guo Kui, and Zhang Kang. They are as good as others. , Coordinating the generals, the minister is not as good as Wang Kechen, and the cavalry is not as good as the minister. Even the formation, the minister is not as many as Yang Shiqing. Therefore, the minister said before the war that the minister can only command 5000 people. No more. How can there be an 'unknown general' who can only command 5000 people?"

Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Zhongzheng doesn't have to be too modest." Pang Ji looked at Wen Yanbo, but didn't speak.

But Li Buqi said solemnly: "The lower official is not modest. In fact, there are only two things to be able to make achievements this time. One is to rely on intelligence and understand the falsehood of the Liao army. Not much damage."

Li Buqi turned to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, have you ever noticed that I never fought the Liao army head-on on this journey. What I did was just rush forward all the way, so that the Liao people didn't know where our army was. If you don’t go up, you can’t stop it. This is the importance of intelligence. Knowing where the Liao army is weak, knowing the road conditions, knowing how to get the resources of the Liao country, and then using the arrogance of the Liao people, everything is in the calculation of the minister. There is also a brave general like Yang Shiqing, how can he be invincible? It can be seen that intelligence is the guarantee of victory."

"The Privy Council relies on intelligence to direct operations, but now the police department collects the information and then submits it to the Privy Council. There is an extra procedure, which will inevitably delay the military situation. Therefore, I ask your majesty to set up a Zhifang Division or a Military Intelligence Bureau under the Privy Council to be responsible for collecting, Summarize and distribute the intelligence of the enemy country. In the future, the Police Division will be responsible for our affairs in the Song Dynasty. The Police Division has initially established a detailed network in Liao, Xia, and Dali, which can be handed over to the Privy Council. The Privy Council has not manipulated this matter before, and the Police Division also Can send someone to help."

Pang Ji's eyes flickered, and when he turned his head, Liang Shi and Song Xiang were also looking at him.Everyone's small calculations were crackling in their hearts for a while.

Before this war, the Police Department had obtained a lot of information about the Liao army, especially the distribution of the Liao army's troops, which made the Privy Council feel a lot easier when it was arranging troops.It's not that the Privy Council is ignorant. Seeing Li Buqi roaming thousands of miles in the territory of Liao Kingdom, he guessed that it was because of the thorough intelligence, which made Li Buqi dare to give it a go.Therefore, everyone is jealous of the intelligence department of the police department, and many people have suggested to Pang Ji and the others that the intelligence department of the police department be drawn over.

Pang Ji also knew that it was not so easy to gather information, and it would be best to recruit people from the police department, but he knew that Li Buqi was a master who must take revenge, so he wanted to take it easy.These days, Wen Yanbo took the rhythm and wanted to make Li Buqi a military officer and send him to Hebei, while Pang Ji wanted to wait for Li Buqi to leave before doing anything.Unexpectedly, Li Buqi offered to assign the task of collecting intelligence from abroad to the Privy Council.

But what is Li Buqi's intention in bringing this up now?Pang Ji was a little uncertain.He thought: The intelligence department of the Police Department was established by Li Buqi. Could it be that Li Buqi wanted to take this opportunity to reach out to the Privy Council?

Obviously, Liang Shi and Song Xiang didn't feel at ease either.

Li Buqi looked at the eyes of several people, and secretly smiled in his heart: "Hmph, you want to mess with me? You should keep an eye on your own territory!"
