I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 676

It's time to test their abilities, and it's time to verify the educational achievements of these years in Jiangwutang.

Estimating this time, Wang Shunchen must have entered the sphere of influence of Huangtou Huihe, and Zhe Kexing will soon enter...

"Officials, trust them! These five people, no matter any of them, give them time to grow, and none of them will be worse than the old officials! They are even stronger than the first generation of the official guard battalion captain. They will definitely return safely!"

Zhao Xi strolled to the martial arts lecture hall, and for some reason, he came anyway.Di Qing reassured the officials, but Ouyang Xiu remained silent.

Everyone has different considerations and reacts differently to such emotional reactions from officials.

Di Qing judges others by himself, and considers the officials' thoughts based on his own experience.Because the officials continued his life, these years, based on the guard battalion, completely changed the old appearance of the country's lack of military equipment.Therefore, Di Qing thought that officials valued the army.

With such emotions from the officials, Di Qing thought that the officials were worried about the five teams of pathfinders.

But Ouyang Xiu knew what the officials were struggling with.

To control a channel, or run through the sphere of influence of Tubo and Huangtou Huihe, this requires a lot of work, especially the need to kill many people... This is what the officials struggle with.

Because most of the people in this department should be innocent.Officials are not bloodthirsty, on the contrary, they have always followed the way of the sage king.

"The official family is the king of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Xi was puzzled that Ouyang Xiu could have such an idea.Indeed, the king of his own Song Dynasty.Do you really care about Tubo and Huihe?It seems not.

Zhao Xi used to come to Wutang for a walk, and it was normal to come here by himself. Why did Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu think they were entangled?

Could it be that he needs to stay in the palace all the time?That's not even more of a bottomless performance.At this time, I can't be messed up, Zhao Xi knows this very well, so it's exactly the same as before, what to do.It just happened to be misunderstood by the ministers.

It is definitely impossible to say that I am not worried, and it seems that there is no such thing as entanglement. I can't tell.I should be more concerned about whether the plan for Xixia can succeed this time.

And Pathfinder, indeed, has a considerable effect on the planning of Xixia.

Forget it, it's really normal and no one thinks he is normal.As the saying goes, what is in your heart is what you see.The important ministers who knew the inside story were all worried about this matter. What they saw themselves was also worried about this matter. Even if it was a normal behavior, it would have other meanings at this time.

Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu's relief made Zhao Xi feel a little unable to cope.Explanation?As if he didn't care about innocent lives, or the five elite Pathfinder soldiers.No explanation?Worrying about making them feel unsteady.It's really troublesome, it's better to stay in the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Di, if you say that I am not worried about Pathfinder, you two may not believe it. In fact, I am not very worried. I believe in their ability to adapt."

"First of all, they are on missions as caravans. They will choose when to be soldiers and when to be merchants."

"Secondly, with their force value, if they want to attack Pathfinder, they don't have ten times as many people, and they can retreat completely. Once the five teams merge, I think there will be no problem with the vertical and horizontal passage."

"One more thing, as for the task of clearing the entire road, I think that the total population on this road will not exceed tens of thousands, including horse bandits and road thieves. It can even be said that even Dingkou, who has settled down for a long time, is led by horses. It was derived from road bandits. I am not worried about the lives of less than tens of thousands of aliens and bandits."

"I'm still the same as always, just doing what I have to do."

Who is comforting whom?
······
When Zhao Xi returned to Qinzheng Hall, Fu Bi was already waiting there.

"Have the officials come to the lecture hall?"

Zhao Xi looked at Fu Bi suspiciously, unable to guess what he meant.Whatever, do you really think you can't sit still?

"Officials, there is a report coming, and the official's permission is required before the veteran can read it. The veteran is here to wait for the report."

Fu Bi tried his best to look relaxed, and he didn't even speak like the usual him.For this Pathfinder operation, Zhao Xi has already instructed the Imperial City Division to share information with the prime minister.

"Let Fuxiang take a look first."

Zhao Xi greeted and went to change clothes first.When going to the martial arts hall, Zhao Xi's attire has always been short, and he would walk around those facilities every time he went, but he didn't today.

"Did the officials expect this to happen?"

"what?"

Fu Bi asked without a clue, Zhao Xi didn't know what was going on ahead, so how could he answer?
Fu Bi brought up the memorial, and Zhao Xi read the imperial city secretary's memorial.

It turned out that Gao Jingting made a detailed report to the imperial court based on the information left by the previous teams after cleaning up all the traces and before continuing to move westward.

"Horse bandits and thieves are definitely needed, and the rich man may not have thought of it. As for not letting them carry supplies, I have considerations in this regard. It seems that the first step is not bad."

"Fu Xiang, tell Mr. Wen Ge later, and start sending a small number of soldiers to the west of Qingtang,"

"Send soldiers now?"

"Yes, since the Pathfinders have cleared the road and found a water source, they can naturally station troops. Besides, the imperial court originally planned to disperse the last division."

"In addition, the last team of Imperial City Division scouts can't turn back too far. They need to relay in stages, just like post stations, to convey information."

······
Gao Jingting cleaned up everything and hid all the supplies in the stronghold of the horse bandits.There's no way, I can't take it with me, there are too many.

A group of 50 horse bandits has been accumulated for many years. They have five teams of pathfinders. The task is to fight and it is not suitable to carry too many goods.Besides, depending on the situation, going forward, there should be more supplies left by the top four teams.

Gao Jingting didn't know when the imperial court would send troops, so he could only leave some supplies suitable for storage.

Following the order of the Privy Council, the troops stationed in the state capitals of the country began to gather scattered to the west.Either as a merchant or as a porter.Or be a long-distance traveler visiting relatives.

Wang Shao had already begun to prepare for the conquest of Qingtang City, and Zhang Dun and Su Zhe arranged to dispose of all these scattered soldiers, carrying a certain amount of supplies, avoiding Qingtang City, and heading west.

When the number of soldiers assembled in the west reached a certain number, it was the moment when the Hehuang Governor's Mansion attacked Qingtang.This part of the assembled army not only needs to respond to the Pathfinder team, but also needs to ambush those fleeing from Qingtang.

According to the imperial edict, the Qingtang people who fled to the west must be completely wiped out, and no other forces can appear on this line.
