A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Shu's body was trembling slightly, and his excitement was uncontrollable.

He stayed in the palace for a long time when he was young, and knew that the people Zhao Zhen was most afraid of were the Liao people. He remembered that he heard Zhao Zhen talking to himself once, and the words were shocking.

——If the Liao people invade the country and move south, where should I go?

That was Zhao Zhen's panic, but later Zhao Shu knew that this was also the panic of the entire Song Dynasty.

If the Liao army were to collapse southward, no one would have the confidence to resist their attack.

From the emperor to the common people, the people of the Song Dynasty were most afraid of the Liao people.

When this kind of fear reaches the extreme, it leads to many incredible things.

Digging up the north and transforming the paddy fields in the north are understandable, but changing the course of the Yellow River is really weird.

From then on, Zhao Shu knew that the Liao people were the nightmare of the Song Dynasty. If this nightmare could not be solved, the Song Dynasty would not be able to talk about its prosperity.

So this time he sent out the combination of Bao Zheng and Shen An with a little bit of imagination in mind.

Bao Zheng can look after Shen An, but he will also condone some of Shen An's actions, such as starting a war without permission.

With the mighty crossbow, kerosene bombs and new gunpowder, could the Song Dynasty compete with the Liao people?

He has been thinking about this issue, but the two battles between Fuzhou and Xiongzhou gave him confidence, and he hoped to try again this time.

As a result, Shen An lived up to expectations. No, it should be said that Yelu Hongji lived up to expectations and came with a large army.

As a result... the Song Dynasty actually defeated the army led by Yelu Hongji.

this……

This is a landmark victory.

"Your Majesty, from now on I will no longer have to worry about any threats when facing the envoy of Liao, I..." Han Qi said excitedly: "Even if I face Yelu Hongji, I will dare to scold him for his mistakes!"

Zeng Gongliang recalled: "That year, the Liao envoy threatened the court, saying that he was willing to have good relations with Xixia, and then surrounded the Song Dynasty. I remember that the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to say anything... It was humiliating at that time! But now the Liao Emperor has failed in his own expedition. …”

Zhao Shu said calmly: "He failed. The Liao people wanted to station troops to threaten the Song Dynasty again, and the days of asking for money and benefits are gone forever. All the ministers are heroes, I..."

Zhao Shu sniffed and suddenly felt that this glory seemed to outshine the previous emperors.

Needless to say, Emperor Taizu was mainly domestic.

Emperor Taizong... There is no way to say that. The defeat of Gaolianghe directly ruined half of the national destiny of the Song Dynasty.

Zhenzong was unlucky. He encountered a crazy Empress Dowager Xiao. Fortunately, Kou Zhun took him to fight in person. At any rate, most of the soldiers at that time had experienced battles, and they managed to block the Liao people. But even so, Song Dynasty still had to pay compensation to ensure safety.

As for Zhao Zhen, needless to say, the Li family rebelled, and the Song Dynasty repeatedly failed in its conquests...

Looking at the previous emperors, you will find a big problem, that is, their lack of force.

For many people, it was a surprise for him, a clan member, to become an emperor.

Everyone is waiting and watching, and they have no expectations for him. They only hope that he can stabilize the government and let everyone live a peaceful life for a few years.

But how are you doing now?

Defeating the Liao Emperor in one battle, how about a life like this?

Zhao Shu was so excited that he choked up.

Han Qi knew his mood, and he said excitedly: "After this battle, the Song Dynasty will no longer be afraid of the Liao people. If the Song Dynasty accumulates more strength, the day will come when the Northern Expedition will take place and the land of Youyan will be restored."

Ouyang Xiu wiped away two old tears and sighed: "If I can see the day when Youyan is restored, I will die in peace."

The land of Youyan was the Dan of the Song Dynasty. It was held in the hands of the Liao people and made the Song Dynasty want to cry without tears.

Now seeing the light of day, both the king and his ministers were very excited.

"Bao Qing...hard work pays off."

Zhao Shu was very satisfied with Bao Zheng. When he looked at Shen An, he felt even happier, "You are really good as a young man. You can kill the enemy in battle and teach when you are dismounted. In this battle, Bao Zheng is in charge, and you are also calm." , it can be seen that it is better for this person to get married. Once married, he will be stable, know his priorities, and will not fool around anymore..."

Shen An smiled dryly and said, "Yes! I feel much more stable recently."

If young people want to make a difference in the court, the reputation of stability is a booster.

So Shen An was extremely happy and felt that he had received a bonus point.

Han Qi also praised: "Shen An... I feel that he has become much more stable since last year. I don't think there is any young man like him in Bianliang."

Bao Zheng's cheek twitched.

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "This kind of young man is so brilliant, I should stay out of the way and let him go!"

Old Ouyang started to wholesale favor again.

Zhao Shu was in a very happy mood and said: "Bao Qing's reward will be postponed for a while..."

Bao Zheng is an important minister, and all considerations must be considered when awarding him a reward. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause changes in the government.

"I have made some small achievements, but I don't dare, I don't dare."

Bao Zheng quickly backed away.

It’s time for the young man to take the field.

When Zhao Xu saw Shen An standing alone in the middle, he couldn't help but look forward to the future, wondering if he would look for an opportunity to fight next time.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "You have made great achievements this time. Naturally, I will give you clear rewards and punishments... You are now a duke, so... you can be the founding county magistrate."

Shen An was originally the Founding Marquis of Guixin County, but now he was upgraded to the Founding County Duke of Guixin County.

Sure enough, military merit is good enough to be knighted!

Shen An felt happy and quickly thanked him.

My brother is a county official!

Many of the important ministers present had much higher titles than him, but everyone praised him and no one despised him.

Being knighted for military merit is the dream of literati, but military merit is never so easy to establish. For example, when Han Qi went to the northwest to hang out, he didn't get a hair in the end.

From now on, when you go out, you should report your official titles, such as county princes and country princes. Don't be arrogant. As soon as Shen An comes out, he will declare his family status and become the founding county prince of the county.

How is it?

He is several levels lower than you, but he is a knight for military merit. Who is higher than you, who has the title that comes with your promotion?

I guess you are too embarrassed to claim your title, you feel embarrassed.

This is like some honorary position in later generations. When you encounter a serious real job, even if you look a few levels higher, it is still far behind.

Bao Zheng lamented: "When I look at Shen An, I think of you..."

Zhao Shu couldn't help but have black lines on his head, thinking that Bao Shou was only a few years old, this was incomparable.

"Looking at Shen An, I thought of Shen Bian." Bao Zheng said with emotion: "If Shen Bian were here, seeing his son so promising, he would definitely shed tears."

He looked at this issue from the perspective of his father's generation. Shen An lowered his head and thought of that stubborn man.

Shen Bian spent his whole life fighting for the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately he died young.

Now that his son has defeated the Liao Emperor, Shen Bian would probably go crazy with excitement if he were still alive.

Han Qi's lips moved a few times, and finally he sighed.

"He is a loyal minister."

Zhao Shu praised: "At the beginning, everyone was intoxicated in the peaceful days, but Shen Bian saw the crisis, spoke out loudly, and ran around for it... Such a minister... Shen An, you are so good at it."

"yes."

Shen An bowed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This is to let Shen An serve as an official well, and if he makes great achievements in the future, Zhao Shu will pursue Shen Bian.

Countless envious eyes were focused on Shen An, and even Han Qi couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

People nowadays have a strong sense of family, and their fathers and ancestors are heaven.

In the original history, after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he made a big fuss with the ministers in order to pursue Zhao Yunrang.

Therefore, what Zhao Shu just said was extremely enviable.

If Shen Bian could be pursued, Shen An's life would be complete.

Han Qi held it in for a long time, and finally said: "You should be like Shen Anbei when you give birth to a child!"

At this moment, Xin Qiji's famous lines came through time and resonated with Han Qi.

Shen An bowed to leave, and Zhao Shu said with a smile: "I know you care about your wife, children and family, so I won't keep you at the celebration party."

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "I can eat more if you are like this."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amid laughter, Shen An left the hall.

Zhao Shu finally looked at Cao Yi and asked, "How was this battle with Cao Yi?"

Bao Zheng said: "Cao Yi was very courageous in this battle. He took the lead and killed many enemies. He even led his army to block the gap, which is a great achievement."

Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "I said you were talented, and now it seems that you are indeed talented. Well, I will reward you later."

Cao Yi's reward involves the balance of power and power, and Zhao Shu still has to consider it carefully.

Only Shen An's is the simplest, giving rewards based on merit.

This uncle was regarded as a strange thing among the powerful people. He was jealous of him during the reign of the late emperor, and he pretended to be a Taoist to avoid trouble. During the Zhiping period, Empress Dowager Cao had an idea and Zhao Shu activated him again.

But this person can be so brave and brave. He is really a strange flower among a bunch of corrupt powerful people, and it is extremely rare.

Zhao Shu was in a good mood and asked people to prepare a celebration banquet. He went to the harem to find Gao Taotao himself.

"The Liao Emperor was actually defeated?"

Gao Taotao jumped up immediately, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "Really defeated?"

As a queen, she knew the benefits of Yelu Hongji's failure to the Song Dynasty, the morale of the people, and the morale of the ministers...

The key is that she is also afraid of the Liao people.

Seeing that she was happy, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Bao Zheng commanded the army, so there will be no lies. However, Shen An was very outstanding in this battle. He led the army to attack and defeated the Liao army in one fell swoop... I just made him the founding county magistrate. But it feels a bit thinner. But wait, he has accumulated a few legs... eh!"

Zhao Shu was stunned, thinking what happened to me? He is actually used to using his legs to measure Shen An's achievements.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Gao Taotao couldn't help laughing. The two generals Heng Ha outside the door looked at each other. The fat Feiyan asked Chen Zhongheng, "Chen Dou know, what happy event is this that can make the saint so happy?"

When Chen Zhongheng was in good terms, "Xiang Bao and Shen An defeated Yelu Hongji at Yanmen Pass."

"ah!"

Feiyan and Zhaojun were both surprised and then happy.

"You actually won?"

The news was slowly passed on in the palace. When Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao went to see Empress Dowager Cao, the palace people they met were all happy.

Gao Taotao asked: "Why is this?"

Feiyan went to ask and came back and said, "Sage, they are all very happy to know that the Song Dynasty defeated the Liao Emperor!"

Gao Taotao smiled and said: "In the past, everyone was afraid of the Liao people. They always felt that they were so fierce that the Song Dynasty would definitely not be able to defeat them. Now a great victory has made the people in the palace very happy. The official family, this great victory will be remembered in history." , let future generations admire you.”

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "This Song Dynasty... it is different after all. I, the emperor... am in a good mood!"
