Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 295
Now Bianliang people are admiring Fan Zhongyan again. Whenever the Song army in Shaanxi wins another battle, some people will say that Li Buqi used the strategy set by Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi during the Qingli period, although the Qingyuan Academy newspaper clarified that strategy. The person who formulated it was actually Yao Sizong. Fan Zhongyan adopted this strategy, which had nothing to do with Han Qi, but it couldn't wake up those who pretended to be asleep.After all, isn't it just moving out the dead to overwhelm the living.

Fan Zhongyan is dead, no longer a threat, but can be dressed up like a little girl.Now the biggest threat to some people is Li Buqi. Even if Li Buqi went to Shaanxi, people cannot ignore his existence. Therefore, some people had no choice but to carry Fan Zhongyan out to suppress Li Buqi.But the common people are not stupid, plus Yang Silang and the others intend to promote it, the common people know that although Fan Xianggong has a strategy, it is so difficult to fight so many, such a big victory, the hope of defeating Xixia lies only in Li Buqi.As for Han Qi, it is not a good bird to say that he wanted to kill Li Daguan back then, even though he has now been promoted to You Servant.

After the battle report of the Suide War arrived in Bianliang, although Li Buqi won the victory over more than [-] people in Xixia with more than [-] casualties, the voices in the court accusing Li Buqi of "wave war" were endless. Zhao Sheng had already reported Li Buqi's arrangement to Zhao Zhen in detail, but Zhao Zhen did nothing but heard nothing.Then, on the second day of June, when the good news came, the voices that had originally criticized Li Buqi subsided.

Zhong Er surprises Suide to take the Xixia guard Wei Mingshan's clan account, forcing Wei Mingshan to surrender.Wei Mingshan led more than [-] people from the tribe, and Suide was occupied by Song Dynasty!At the same time, Fuzhou Zhekerou led an army of [-], cooperated with Liao mercenaries, launched an attack from the Liao border, and defeated the troops of the left wing of the Brave Army Division in one fell swoop, beheading [-] troops.This is the first time since the Qing Dynasty that the Song Dynasty took back such a large piece of land from Xixia, and Zhao Zhen happily went to sacrifice to the Taimiao.

According to Zhao Sheng's memoirs, the emperor was very satisfied with having such a capable son and ministers in Shaanxi, and revealed that he would pass the throne to this son and ask Li Buqi to assist him in destroying Xixia and restoring Yanyun wish.Also according to Zhao Sheng's memoirs, the emperor believed that his son was very capable and good at seeing people, so he agreed to his request to marry the young lady of the Yang family.

Now the capital became lively all of a sudden, the two princes were about to get married.While the third prince was arranging the marriage in the palace, the fourth prince was also engaged in an engagement. The one he had engaged was a young lady from the Gao family. She was a lady, and she was in stark contrast to Xiaojiabiyu, who the third prince was going to marry.How could this incident not arouse the gossip of common people in the market?Now, the fourth prince had managed to make a palace lady's belly bigger with great difficulty, and the fact that the child died after being born only lived for one day was picked up.

While people were talking about the difference between the third prince and the fourth prince, some people quietly pointed out that the fourth prince did not have the appearance of an emperor.

Thanks to the advocacy of the emperors and goons of the past dynasties, the people of the Song Dynasty agreed with the saying that "the emperor is the son of heaven, and there must be something different from ordinary people".So in this era, it is very important to be an emperor and show off your appearance. Don’t you see that there is really no reason to attack Wang De, so I can only say that Wang De uses "the appearance of an emperor"!

Because the fourth prince was named the governor of Kaifeng, although he didn't show up often, he also appeared outside the palace, and in order to show his closeness to the people, he went to Futian courtyard to condolences to widows and widows. Many people saw him.The people's evaluation of the fourth prince is like a "beauty lamp", which will be destroyed by the wind, and also looks a bit shabby, not tall, with thin shoulders, but with a big head on top, and a male duck voice.Then look at the third prince that people often see. He is a man with a full sky, a straight nose, wide mouth and eyes like bright stars. He is absolutely handsome.

The third prince not only looks good, but also behaves elegantly. He also knows everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.The most important thing is that some people say that the third prince is better than the people and can better understand the suffering of the people. Otherwise, why would he go to the book to ask those in the Zhao family who don't do anything and just get a lot of salary to support themselves.This makes sense!
There is no harm if there is no comparison. In the hearts of the common people, most of them believe that the third prince is the real heir to the throne, but no matter how the common people think, it will not affect the court situation.Zhao Sheng's marriage was hastily completed due to the efforts of all parties. It is euphemistically called "when the country uses troops in the northwest, save as much as you can."

After marriage, Zhao Sheng once again asked Zhao Zhen to return to Shaanxi to serve the country.Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed, because Wen Yanbo and Han Qi repeatedly warned the emperor to be careful that Zhao Sheng might force the old emperor to abdicate if he held military power, and wanted Zhao Sheng to stay in the capital.However, Empress Cao rarely said a word for Zhao Sheng: "Officials, sons are always better than outsiders. Our Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If a son wants to rebel against Lao Tzu, the people's saliva can drown him."

Zhao Zhen thought about it on second thought, this is really the case, isn't he trembling every day because he is worried about leaving a bad reputation in the history books?
After Empress Cao fooled her like this, Zhao Sheng returned to Shaanxi with his newlywed wife in winter, but this time he was qualified as the deputy economic envoy, that is, Li Buqi's deputy.

In the Xingyuan of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Buqi withdrew the crowd and said to Zhao Sheng, "You've come back, otherwise you won't even be able to catch up with the battle to recover Mizhi."

Zhao Sheng was surprised: "Didn't it mean that Mizhi will be recovered in the spring of next year? Why do you have to do it?"

Li Buqi smiled wryly and said, "That's to cover up the eyes of those people in the court."

Zhao Sheng asked in surprise: "The teacher said..."

Li Buqi only said: "There are some things that have to be guarded against. In order to make Kaifeng's prefect a reputation of 'judging cases like a god, saving people's lives', they even moved out the story from the script. Haha, don't be petty. Look at the scholars, they really dare to use everything."

Zhao Sheng nodded and asked, "Then when shall I go to Suide?"

Li Buqi laughed: "Your military exploits are enough for an emperor. If you advertise that you lead an army to fight, people will only say that you are just a martial artist. This is the intention of making your brother the governor of Kaifeng. You can't fall into the trap. From now on, you stay in Jingzhao Mansion honestly, learn to take care of the overall situation, and handle one or two strange cases in your free time to make a name for yourself. We can't act, but the big In Shaanxi, it is not a problem to find a few sensational cases. In a few days, I will help you get an errand to know the Jingzhao Mansion, and you will be able to handle the case in a legitimate way."

Just before the Chinese New Year, Shaanxi Jiebao sent Bianliang again.Under the correct leadership of the third prince, the Song army launched an offensive to seize Mizhi in advance, and won a big victory. It disabled the Xixia Left Wing Commander, captured Mizhi, and defeated the Xixia people who tried to retake Mizhi in the ensuing battle. Beheaded over ten thousand.

Years later, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom came to ask about Song's crusade against Xixia, and asked Song to stop attacking Xixia, but this time Zhao Zhen just hummed, and for the first time did not take Liao's warning to heart.Because of the report from the Police Department, civil strife in Liao has continued, and the rebellion of the emperor's uncle Yelu Zhongyuan just happened, which involves a lot.It is said that there are still Jurchen tribes in Hutongjiang, the Zub tribes in the west are rebelling, and the tribes on the Liaoxia border request to be attached to the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom is too busy with these things. Do you really want to fight the Song Dynasty?
For the first time, Zhao Zhen had the confidence to reject the Liao Kingdom.Recalling the source of this confidence, he found that this confidence was basically given to him by Li Buqi, and the things that made the country rich and powerful were basically done by Li Buqi or related to Li Buqi.After discovering this, he couldn't help trembling a little.

Li Buqi is too capable and too young!Zhao Zhen is old, can he really control Li Buqi?Li Buqi was loyal in the past, but will he still be loyal when his reputation is growing?
Let Li Buqi get the credit for destroying Xixia, then Li Buqi's absolute meritorious service is the master!Who can control Li Buqi in the future?

But without Li Buqi, who can destroy Xixia for him?People like Pang Ji and Han Qi tried it all, but they didn't work!
At this time, he remembered that Empress Cao said that sons are always more reliable than outsiders.Even if his son seized the power, then he is still the overlord, isn't he?It's better than being taken over by someone with a foreign surname and ending up with annihilation.

After struggling for several days, Zhao Zhen finally had a plan in his mind.
