After the rebellion during the Qingli period, the defense in the palace was extremely tight.

The marriage officials swore that every passing rat would be invisible. Of course, they must have a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.

But they could not catch the autumn wind.

The autumn wind swept through the palace, bringing coolness.

Shen An walked slowly in the palace. Chen Zhongheng in front of him was holding his hands behind his back reservedly, but his steps were wrong.

Shen An took a closer look and found that his legs were a little bent.

"Old Chen, you didn't eat leeks?"

Shen An once taught Chen Zhongheng how to treat hemorrhoids, which was to eat leeks.

Chen Zhongheng loosened his hands and said dejectedly: "It was useful before, but now it is useless."

"Why?" Two palace maids came in front. After seeing Shen An, they both lowered their heads slightly, and then raised their heads in a shy and timid manner.

So shy!

Bold women give people a hot feeling and excitement.

But for men, shy women are more in line with their aesthetics.

A reserved beauty.

This is the beauty of the East.

Shen An walked over without looking away.

Chen Zhongheng had a straight face and said after passing by: "I've been eating too much hot pot recently."

"Restrain yourself." Shen An felt that he was guilty, "Stop the hot pot and hot sauce for a while."

"It would be okay if it stopped."

"Then stop." Shen An felt that it was okay not to eat hot pot and hot sauce.

Chen Zhongheng said melancholy: "But after it stopped, I felt that my daily life was boring, and my Yan Yue was not here, so I felt like a zombie..."

"understand!"

Shen An also had this feeling in his previous life.

It must have been the time when I broke up with my first love. It was a feeling of despair, almost like a walking zombie.

He took a few steps forward and looked at Chen Zhongheng's face carefully.

Chen Zhongheng covered his face, "Why are you looking at someone like that?"

"It's a little white." Shen An said sincerely: "Remember to make porridge with red dates and wolfberries later."

Shen An is a miracle doctor, so the prescriptions he gives are naturally extraordinary. Chen Zhongheng said happily: "But it can cure hemorrhoids?"

"Hemorrhoids cannot be cured, but they can replenish blood."

After Shen An finished speaking, he strode forward while Chen Zhongheng stopped where he was.

"Chen Douzhi...Chen Douzhi..."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongheng looked up and saw a young chamberlain smiling at him, so he nodded and said, "You're not bad."

The little chamberlain was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, I know."

The poor child has probably never been praised like this since he entered the palace.

Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but feel moved in his heart when he saw him happy.

Praising others is an act that pleases them.

And the other party will respond with respect or friendliness.

Yes, I will praise others more in the future.

Chen Zhongheng felt that he had understood the true meaning of life. The little chamberlain pointed forward and said, "Chen Zhongheng knows that Shen Longtu has run away."

Damn it!

Chen Zhongheng ran away.

"Wait for someone!"

The little chamberlain stood on the spot and praised: "Chen Douzhi ran so fast."

In the hall, when Shen An entered, he felt some eyes.

Surprised.

dissatisfied.

Confuse.

He saluted and raised his head. Zhao Shu looked at the minister with complicated eyes, "What do you want to do?"

"I think it is a matter for the warriors to do, so I should let the warriors do it." Shen An said frankly: "The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs and plans wars. But Your Majesty, whether it is a war against the Western bandits or a war against the Liao Kingdom, ...I would like to put it simply, the Nong Zhigao Incident back then..."

Shen An glanced at the prime ministers and saw that they were dumb, so he continued: "When Jiaozhi wrote a letter saying that he was willing to send troops to destroy Nong Zhigao for the Song Dynasty, how many people believed it at that time? The DPRK sent troops to Yongzhou and other places for this purpose I have prepared a lot of food and fodder for the Jiaozhi reinforcements to enjoy. And the late Emperor... Your Majesty, please forgive me."

This matter involves the late emperor Zhao Zhen, so Zhao Shu's permission is required.

Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"The late Emperor was very happy after hearing the news, and ordered him to prepare 30,000 guan as a reward for sending troops to Jiaozhi. If he can pacify Nong Zhigao, he will be rewarded heavily afterwards."

Zhao Shu looked at Han Qi.

Han Qi lowered his head.

The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were overjoyed when they heard the news and thought it was a good thing.

"Di Qing categorically stopped this matter as soon as he arrived in the southwest. He said that if the Song Dynasty could not be annihilated by Lian Nong Zhigao, then once the Jiaozhi army entered the country and spied on such a weak Song Dynasty, they would definitely invade the country frequently, so the matter was terminated."

Shen An saluted and said seriously: "I would like to ask your majesty and all the gentlemen, if there had been no Di Wuxiang, would Southwest still be safe?"

No one answered.

Shen An's voice gradually became louder, like gold and iron, "If there had been no Di Wuxiang, the southwest would have rotted away, and then it would have swept from the south to the north, and the entire Song Dynasty would not be peaceful. The people of Jiaozhi would have swelled and continued to peek at the Song Dynasty. In the north, if the Liao people take the opportunity to take action, the Song Dynasty will be in danger!"

This is considered a scandal in the Song Dynasty, and no one has mentioned it in these years. When Shen An said it out, Zhao Shu didn't feel anything because it was not his fault.

But Han Qi and others felt that their faces were dull.

Although Old Han was domineering, he was not the kind of person who liked to mess around. He frowned and said: "Back then, Nong Zhigao swept through the southwest and the capital was shaken. At that time, what the court was most worried about was not the southwest, but the Liao people who would take advantage of the situation. That's why Will agree to this. Later, Jiaozhi's wolfish ambition was exposed, and everyone realized that it was a tiger seeking skin. Di Qing... has excellent vision. "

Han Qi lowered his head in approval.

"I have studied the war cases of the Song Dynasty in recent years and found that the court always likes to dictate the war ahead, which makes the soldiers at a loss. Why are they at a loss? Because those who formulate strategies do not understand the battle formations at all!"

Let professional people do professional things. This is a universal truth in later generations, but now it is more about political correctness.

Bao Zheng coughed dryly, "This matter... will be discussed in the long term."

Zeng Gongliang nodded, feeling that Bao Zheng still had the overall situation in mind.

Why think long term?

Because this matter involves the ancestral system of using culture to control force.

Shen An knew this truth, but since he had been planning for a long time, he would never stop.

He said: "Your Majesty, when we were in the Privy Council that day, several officials took turns talking about some plans. I listened carefully and went home to think about it for a long time."

These words gave the civil officials face, indicating that your plan is too sophisticated and I will have to think about it for a long time before I understand it.

"Some people say that we should divide our troops into five groups and attack the Liao Kingdom with an overwhelming force."

Shen An's cheeks trembled slightly, and she just wanted to scold her.

Divide the troops into five groups, that's the north!

"Some people say that a surprise force should be sent out from Yanmen to capture Xijing of the Liao people. Then the Liao people will inevitably come to help. In this way, the Song Dynasty took the opportunity to send troops from Xiongzhou to the Northern Expedition."

Shen An explained those plans one by one, and finally refuted them, "The so-called division of troops into five groups is an extremely advantageous move, but how many war horses does the Song Dynasty have? How many skilled cavalry are there? How many elites are there?"

Divide your sister's troops!

Shen An was slightly angry, "Divide the troops into five routes. If I am Yelu Hongji, I don't need to worry about the five routes. I just go all the way to defeat the Song Dynasty's first route, and then defeat them one by one. What five routes? That is a stupid act to weaken yourself."

Ouyang Xiu didn't understand the art of war, so he asked, "But didn't we divide our troops in the expedition to Xixia?"

Shen An smiled bitterly and said: "The Song Dynasty has an advantage over the Western Bandits! Moreover, the Western Bandits have a narrow territory and there is not much room for maneuver, so they dare to divide their troops. If it is the Liao Kingdom, Your Majesty, please give me a map."

Zhao Shu nodded and someone brought a map.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Shen An doesn't need to explain, just look at the map and you will understand.

"These places are mountainous, and the Liao army has sufficient means to deal with them. Moreover, the Liao army has many cavalry and attacks back and forth, making it difficult to defend against."

Zhao Shu frowned and said: "Dividing troops against the Liao Kingdom is an act of self-weakening."

Fu Bi's appearance failed.

Han Qi glanced at Shen An and felt that this young man was really considerate. When he came back, he planned to go to the Yamen office to have a 'talk' with Fu Bi and let him know the stupidity of his subordinates.

"As for why we went out of Yanmen to attack Xijing...how many cavalry will be used? The Song Dynasty currently only has so many cavalry, and they went to Yanmen, so what are they going to use in the Northern Expedition?"

Shen An's anger rose, "Your Majesty, what is the Privy Council trying to do by allowing these people to formulate strategies? I think this is to support the enemy!"

Zhao Shu then remembered that Shen An didn't refute these strategies after hearing them that day. At that time, he thought these strategies of the Privy Council were pretty good, but who would have thought that Shen An had waited until now to get angry.

Think carefully!

He was deliberately trying to get martial artists to enter the Privy Council.

"Han Qing..."

Zhao Shu would not express his position at this time, it was inappropriate.

So Han Qi came out.

"It is the ancestral rule to use culture to control force."

Even Bao Zheng thinks this is right.

"Can ancestral rules control victory or defeat?" Shen An did not ridicule, but said seriously: "Is it worth it if we lose because of this?"

Well!

Shen An's words were too narrow-minded. Han Qi frowned and said, "We haven't started a war yet, so why did we say defeat?"

"Because if we continue to follow the Privy Council's plan, I will definitely lose!"

Shen An began to argue with Han Qi with his fingers on the various strategies of the Privy Council that day.

The voices of the two became louder and louder, and could even be heard outside.

"You can't do anything, can you?"

A few servants outside were a little worried. One of them boldly took a look and said with a smile: "We are discussing military affairs."

"Prime Minister Han will be defeated!" A chamberlain gave the answer easily. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net

Everyone nodded, thinking it was natural.

"...After defeating the Western bandits, they feel that the Liao people are no longer theirs? No, they are no match for the Song Dynasty? How arrogant! This is underestimating the enemy! As long as those who underestimate the enemy before the war, some of them have good results. ?”

Shen An's voice echoed in the hall. He was giving an example, "In the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian was so proud that he threw a whip to cut off the flow. What was the result?"

After that battle, the Eastern Jin Dynasty survived, but disputes broke out in the former Qin state, and then Fu Jian was defeated and the country was destroyed.

"The Privy Council's strategy... If we go to the Northern Expedition according to their strategy, I dare to ask Prime Minister Han, what are the chances of winning?"

Han Qi couldn't answer.

When it comes to martial arts, Shen An can crush him. But the emperor had an order, so he could only come out and argue with Shen An.

It's all for one thing.

Use culture to control force!

The nightmare of the former Tang Dynasty still echoed in the deep palace, and no one dared to let warriors enter the palace.

Zhao Shu looked slightly cold, obviously not happy.

This is a deadlock.

Shen An cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is enough for the general to enter the Privy Council for consultation."

Zhao Shu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shen An insists that military men enter the Privy Council and be on an equal footing with civilian officials, then nothing will happen today.

He said softly: "I am aware of this matter and will consider it carefully."

If he wanted to put it aside, he would just say he understood.
