Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 46
Li Buqi thought of Zhu Di, a great man, and blurted out: "The most effective way to swear to the Liao people that I am determined to fight to the death in the Song Dynasty is to express the determination to 'the emperor guards the gate of the country'."

Zhao Zhen stared at Li Buqi: "You mean the imperial conquest?"

Li Buqi always felt that recently Gao Zunyu deliberately instilled stories from the imperial court on purpose, so he knew very well that Kou Zhun took Emperor Zhenzong to Hebei to go to Hebei for his personal conquest, and then he was relegated to Leizhou, a place where no shit up.Li Buqi now wants to preserve himself and develop himself. He never thought of risking the emperor to conduct another imperial conquest: "I don't want your majesty to personally conquer Hebei. This time the situation is not so critical. Make preparations for a decisive battle, and you can choose a large prefecture in Hebei to build a palace, or even designate it as the northern capital, and then you can swear that the emperor will guard Hebei. If the Liao people know it, they must know our Great Song Dynasty’s determination to stick to Hebei.”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Well, this idea is not bad, thanks to you thinking of it."

Then he asked again: "Just now you said that you don't want to give command to someone who doesn't know how to fight. Don't you think so much about the frontier general?"

Li Buqi said: "I don't know the situation in Hebei, but in Shaanxi, I really frightened the generals who commanded blindly."

Zhao Zhen nodded understandingly: "You mean Ren Fu, right? Ren Fu is too rash, that's why he was ambushed, and so many people fell into it."

From Zhao Zhen's tone, Li Buqi could hear Zhao Zhen's dissatisfaction. It was obvious that the blame for Hao Shuichuan's failure had all been borne by Ren Fu, a dead man.But now Li Buqi wanted to rectify Ren Fu's name, otherwise the emperor would not know the stupidity of civil servants, and Han Qi would follow the original track to climb up to the position of prime minister.Even if it's just because of personal grievances, Li Buqi can't make this guy prime minister.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that ministers should not talk about important ministers of the country, but since I have personally experienced the Battle of Shuichuan, I have to explain it to Your Majesty. Push the responsibility for the defeat of Shuichuan to Ren Fu The general has wronged General Ren by himself."

Zhao Zhen waved the irrelevant personnel to retreat and warned: "Don't let the matter of today spread."

Zhao Zhen said: "You probably don't know that Han Zhigui had a warrant with Ren Fu before he set out to fight, ordering Ren Fu to fight if he could fight, and to set up an ambush according to the danger if he couldn't fight, to block the enemy's return, and strictly ordered 'If you break the rules Even if he has meritorious deeds, he will also be beheaded." It was only because Ren Fu was greedy for meritorious deeds that he fell into an ambush."

Li Buqi said: "When I was in Shaanxi, I also thought that Zhongfu was the general's carelessness, but after returning to Tokyo, I heard that Han Jinglue had previously proposed a strategy to attack the Xia bandits. Wan, and after the battle of Haoshuichuan, it was said that the Xia bandits used [-] troops in the battle of Haoshuichuan. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Now Zhao Zhen stopped asking.The education that Zhao Zhen received from a young age is that the emperor only needs to choose talents and appoint them, and the specific things should be done by the civil servants, so he, the emperor, habitually does not pay attention to the specific numbers in the memorial. The emperor, it is good to know the general .

When arguing about whether to take an offensive or defensive strategy against Xia Bandits, because of the long debate, he vaguely remembered that Han Qi's memorial said that Xia Bandits had [-] to [-] troops.But when the memorial of Hao Shuichuan's defeat was delivered, he patronized and became angry and anxious. He didn't pay attention to the above-mentioned how many troops the Xia bandits dispatched, and had no impression at all.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to look at Zhang Yonghe, Zhang Yonghe quickly said: "I remember that this happened. Han Zhizhou first said that there were about [-] to [-] Xia thieves, and then said that there were [-] people."

Li Buqi noticed this bug after confirming the matter from a group of yamen. Maybe Han Qi said that Xixia dispatched 10 people just to alleviate his responsibility for the defeat, but he left an obvious clue, and he can’t blame others if he is caught .

Li Buqi said: "At the time of the Battle of the Water River, the general's more than [-] men were able to fight fiercely with [-] Xia thieves all day long, which shows the strength of our soldiers in the Song Dynasty. If the Xia thieves were as Han Jinglue said, there would be only five soldiers who would overwhelm the country." Ten thousand, we have to guard against my Song Dynasty official army and guarding the state capital elsewhere. It is impossible to gather [-] people in Haoshuichuan. Then it will be easy for General Ren to persist until the reinforcements arrive. Naturally, he can fight.

Therefore, I think that the main reason for the defeat of Hao Shuichuan is that he was defeated on the edge. "

Zhao Zhen nodded: "In this way, it is indeed Han Zhigui and Meng Lang. But I have been in peace for a long time, and I lack people who know the army. It is really not easy to choose someone who can lead the army." When he said this, he remembered just now Li Buqi was very insightful about Liao's comments, and couldn't help asking: "Since you have served in the army, do you know who is worthy of being a general?"

Li Buqi is not going to recommend Di Qing now, but recommending Di Qing but not being able to cover him will not do Di Qing any good.He turned his eyes and thought: "Since your majesty has asked, I will come up with an idea so that your majesty can test out who is capable enough to take up his official position."

"Oh? You said."

"Your Majesty only needs to order General Margin to write down the number of Xia Bandits' troops and where they are distributed within the specified time. If he can write it down, write it in detail, and if it matches the facts, it shows that this person not only collects Xia Bandits' information with his heart, Moreover, there are means to obtain information, so that the war will be targeted, and the Xia thief will not make money. On the contrary, they will not care at all or have no means. Even how many Xia thieves have, and where they do not know. They are bound to be defeated, it is better to quickly replace such a person, so as not to lose their teacher and humiliate the country."

Zhao Zhen nodded again and again: "It makes sense. It's just how much time is better?"

Li Buqi raised a finger: "A quarter of an hour, at most an hour is enough. If the official knows the situation of the enemy army well, he can write it down naturally. It would be strange not to use foolish tricks when there is an enemy situation. Moreover, His Majesty must order this matter to be done immediately, so as to prevent fraud."

Zouma Bearing is the eunuch sent by the emperor to supervise officials in various places. It is a self-contained system and is only responsible to the emperor.The accuracy of the investigation results can only be guaranteed by using a horse to endure.

Zhao Zhen is having a headache for these marginal handsome ministers who have repeatedly fought and failed, and he doesn't know how to find out whether these handsome ministers will fight. Li Buqi's suggestion made his eyes shine: "This method is good, at least You can see who cares."

He also remembered that Li Buqi's analysis of the Liao Kingdom was very insightful, and he was also eager to find talents who knew about military affairs, so he said: "Li Buqi, I think you have some talent in military affairs, so you should share the country's worries, how about Let's be an official."

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I dare not be a military officer."

Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Li Buqi was almost killed by a civil official, and he understood.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "You are also considered a scholar, and you can be regarded as an official who donated millet after donating the method of making sugar. In this way, it is all right to make you a civil servant."

The emperor was about to issue a decree, but Zhang Yonghe couldn't help winking and said: "Officials, I think it's best to say hello to Lu Xianggong about this matter."

The emperor knew that Zhang Yonghe had something to say, so he had to say: "Okay, after practicing boxing, I will invite Lu Xianggong and Ding Xueshi to come."
