A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

It's still cold in Bianliang in early spring, but you can inadvertently find dots of green in the corners.

The cold wind brought wisps of life, but Cao Yi felt very uncomfortable. He was thinking about Han Laoliu.

Bao Zheng was in front. This time they rode back lightly, so they did not send a messenger to report their victory.

"Xiang Bao...is actually Xiang Bao?"

The sergeant guarding the gate became excited and asked boldly: "Prime Minister Bao, has the Liao army retreated?"

Outside Yanmen, where the Liao army was stationed, the news was leaked by someone unknown. In the end, the Imperial City Division determined that it was a spy of the Liao people, with the purpose of disturbing the people of the Song Dynasty.

Everyone was a little worried, so after seeing Bao Zheng, they all rushed over.

"Prime Minister Bao, are the Liao people coming?"

"How much food will we have to pay this time?"

Every time the Liao people stationed troops on the border, it was a time of extortion, and they always failed.

When Bao Zheng heard these words, he immediately felt that this battle was worth it.

He said with a straight face: "Yelu Hongji personally led the army to attack Yanmen..."

"oh……"

In an instant, Bao Zheng saw the faces of all living beings, most of them in panic.

The Liao Kingdom was still a threat to the Song Dynasty. Whether it was the common people or the warriors, what they feared most was the Liao people.

So this battle is so timely!

Bao Zheng raised his head and said: "Our army has won a great victory in this battle!"

He just said this and then rode into the city gate.

"How did you win?"

"Could it be fake?"

"How many opponents will we need to kill to win the victory? Prime Minister Bao didn't say anything..."

"Here, look here!"

Huang Chun was like a busker, pointing at the carriage and shouting: "Look! This is the Liao people's Duzhong Pang Yeluhu, look! The general of the Liao people was captured alive by the converted prince... "

On that carriage, in a cage, Yeluhu stared blankly ahead.

"Is that General Liao?"

"Why do you look so embarrassed?"

"Du Xiangwen... What kind of official is Xiangwen?"

"Xiangwen is the general!"

"Ah! Then it's all settled, isn't he the general?"

"Yes, that's the general."

"They actually captured their general? This...is this a great victory?"

Everyone was confused.

Bao Zheng did not say how great the victory was, but just one Yeluhu let these soldiers and civilians know the result.

"The Lord of Conversion is here."

"Look, if he is so proud, he must have won a great victory."

"Hey! Guixinhou seems a little impatient?"

Of course Shen An was impatient. He had been away from Bianliang for so long, and what he missed most was his family. But according to the procedure, he had to follow Bao Zheng into the palace to recover. If not, he would be given a banquet before he could go home.

"A great victory!"

An old man shouted: "The Song Dynasty has won! The Liao people have been defeated!"

"Yelu Hongji was still the one who went on the expedition in person. What kind of queen mother was that from Liao back then..."

"Queen Mother Xiao!"

"Yes, yes, that Empress Dowager Xiao and the Emperor went on a personal expedition. Oh my god, luckily Mr. Kou was here and led the officials to go on a personal expedition. Otherwise, the Song Dynasty would have been gone."

"I was frightened just now when I heard that Yelu Hongji was on his own expedition."

"We won?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then the joy gradually spread out.

"Victory."

Shen An, who was passing by, said something casually and then entered the city gate.

"We won. The Guixinhou said we won!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"The Song Dynasty wins!"

"..."

There was laughter and excited shouts behind him. These sounds were like old wine, making people drunk.

All the way into the imperial city, Bao Zheng walked at the front, Cao Yi and Shen An side by side, sighing: "Someone thought of Han Laoliu..."

Shen An glanced at him and felt that this person was trustworthy.

It would be cold-blooded if he forgot about Han Laoliu who died fighting for him.

Don't befriend cold-blooded people, because such people only have interests in their eyes, and sooner or later they will do to you what they have done to others.

Therefore, some people say that people with no addictions should not be friends with each other, and there are probably similarities and differences.

Entering the main hall, the emperor and his ministers were all there, looking forward to it.

"Why not report victory?"

There was no time to ask about the specific situation of the battle. Zhao Shu, who only knew that the Song Dynasty had won, was a little angry.

Bao Zheng said: "Your Majesty, in the event of a great victory, the first thing I think about is whether the Liao people will go to war with the Song Dynasty."

This is an anxious thing. The Song Dynasty is in the process of reform. If there is an all-out war with the Liao people, everything will have to stop and make concessions for the war. Those opponents would return and take advantage of the Liao invasion to coerce the emperor and his ministers into making concessions.

Don't think that those people will take the overall situation into consideration. Throughout history, the integrity of these people is not as good as that of gangsters, or even as good as the madams and turtle men in brothels.

So when Bao Zheng said these words, Zhao Shu couldn't help but nodded slightly, extremely satisfied.

Why are important ministers so important? Because you have to know what the overall situation is, know what the overall situation of the country is at present, and take the overall situation into consideration.

Bao Zheng did this.

Han Qi turned around and smiled at Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu, a very nasty smile.

Laobao is back, and your good days are over.

Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu both felt their buttocks were a little cold, so they forced a smile.

If the official family lets Lao Bao enter the political hall, who among us will be replaced?

Zeng Gongliang glanced at Ouyang Xiu and thought that your eyes are already dim, so you should go home as soon as possible to recuperate.

But Ouyang Xiu knew that his old eyes were dim and dim because of premature aging. He had paid great attention to taking care of himself in the past few years and felt that he could live for another twenty years.

"The next thing I thought about was...if good news arrives in Beijing, will anyone encourage His Majesty to go north and attack Youyan at this time..."

Bao Zheng looked at the officials. He knew that many of them were opportunists. Once they saw an opportunity for promotion, they would encourage Zhao Shu regardless.

From now on, the alliance with the Jin people will be a good thing done by a group of idiots. On the one hand, they suppress the warriors, and on the other hand, they hope that the warriors who have been suppressed and turned into useless people will attack the land of Youyan. In the end, they deserve the blood on their faces.

"This time at Yanmen Pass, Yelu Hongji personally led an army to attack, bringing trebuchets and countless iron cavalry. Those Liao people were not afraid of death and attacked the city with ants... They attacked the city and fought with our army. Kill together..."

Zhao Shu felt a little hot in his body and couldn't help imagining the tragic scene.

"Our soldiers have not been in battle for many years. Fortunately, we have divine crossbows, gunpowder cans and kerosene bombs. Our soldiers are loyal and fearless, and they are able to push back the enemy again and again..."

Zhao Shu glanced at Fu Bi and felt that this privy envoy was a bit formal and lacked supervision of the army.

But Fu Bi just wanted to complain. The Privy Council is the Privy Council, a place in charge. As for the training and supervision of the army, most of them are in charge of the three yamen.

But Zhao Shu won't care about this.

On weekdays, you civilian officials suppress the military men so fiercely. If you don't take the blame at this time, who will take the blame?

As a result, his eyebrows became a little colder.

Shen An glanced at Fu Bi and smiled innocently.

Fu Bi is also peeping at the political hall, so he and Bao Zheng are competitors.

This time he lost points, but Bao Zheng, who had returned triumphantly, was in the limelight.

It is said that a pig can fly even if it is standing in the limelight...

Bao Zheng's demeanor became more and more generous, "Later, Shen An took advantage of the opportunity to attack and defeated the Liao army in one fell swoop..."

"Defeated the Liao army?"

Han Qi forgot to run against his old enemy Fu Bi and said happily: "Really defeated them?"

Shen An nodded, but refused to speak.

At this time, it is time to let Lao Bao shine, so that officials will favor him when considering candidates.

Bao Zheng said: "When the Liao army was in chaos, Shen An led his troops to attack. The enemy counterattacked several times and was defeated. Shen An even captured the enemy general alive..."

Well……

The hall became quiet.

Fu Bi was extremely excited, thinking that this was a great victory that only happened once in a century, but he couldn't help but asked: "Could it be some little boss?"

Some small bosses should not use it as military merit. If so, the military merit will be worthless in the future.

Bao Zheng glanced at him and said: "The Liao army is all safe, Yeluhu, what does the rich prime minister think?"

"This..." Fu Bi's face turned pale, and he immediately said ecstatically: "Is it really Yeluhu?"

He was the privy envoy, and the generals of the Liao army knew more or less, and he happened to pay attention to this Yeluhu.

Fu Bi laughed, extremely rudely.

Zhao Shu felt that these ministers were going too far. If you have anything funny to say, please share it with me, so that you can laugh at it. It's so frivolous that it's really hard to compare with Bao Zheng.

If Fu Bi knew Zhao Shu's thoughts, Jubi would vomit three liters of blood.

After he had laughed enough, he said: "Your Majesty, Yelu Huchen knows that he is famous for his fierceness in the Liao army, and he is a fierce general like a king..."

Wang Que?

Everyone thought of the giant Wang Que. The last time he led the swordsmen and axemen to fight in Xiongzhou, UU Reading www.uukanshu． net The Liao people who were killed in the first battle were frightened.

Such a fierce general, even if he likes to suppress warriors, many civil servants still admire him.

Fu Bi said happily: "That fierce general was actually captured alive by Shen An. Was this...captured alive when he was charging into the battle? Or did he fall off his horse...Yes, although Shen An is somewhat brave, but But he can't compare with those serious warriors, let alone a fierce general like Yeluhu. But it's a good thing to capture him, the Liao people...hahahaha!"

Thinking of the Liao people's reaction, he couldn't help but laugh again.

Shen An finally couldn't bear it anymore and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I led the army to charge into the battle. Yeluhu yelled that he wanted to kill me, and then rushed over, and I captured him with one hand..."

After speaking, he nodded reservedly to Fu Bi.

What does it mean to be captured after falling off the horse? That is taking advantage. Am I, Shen An, that kind of person?

Fu Bi was startled, looked at Shen An for the first time, raised his hands and said solemnly: "Is this so? I admire Hou Wuyong for his trust."

Zhao Shu was also excited, "Among the civil servants, there can be a brave general who is brave enough to defeat the three armies. I... this is..."

Han Qi said what he wanted to say without hesitation, "Your Majesty, this is auspicious!"

Damn it!

Shen An's face turned blue.

Brother is Xiangrui? Do you want to get something to offer?

Then he felt that his status in history books would be different in the future, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He was good at both civil and military affairs, and he was able to open academies, teach and educate people, and establish sects. Wu can improve ordnance, lead the army in battle, and become a fierce general who can capture the enemy alive.

How many people in history have been so versatile?

Some people will list those ancient people for comparison, but Shen An only needs to meet one condition, and the controversy can probably be settled.

Not only is my brother versatile in both civil and military affairs, he is also the richest man in the Song Dynasty. Businessmen all over the world regard me as the God of Wealth... Can you do it?
