A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 265: Shen An is both civil and military

The two sides faced each other and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat in an instant.

"prick!"

"kill!"

The village soldiers thought of creating a gap and then rushing in. These students had no choice but to escape.

So when the spears came to assassinate them, they all slashed and blocked with their swords.

As long as this is blocked, the rest will be simple.

Huang Chun shouted: "Fight in! Fight in!"

Yan Baoyu stood up with all his strength and slashed with the wooden sword like lightning.

"prick!"

"kill!"

Unexpectedly, the spears from the second row suddenly stabbed out. The village soldiers who were blocking were caught off guard, and more than ten people were stabbed immediately.

"It's hit, it's time to come out!"

The referee on the side shouted, but the soldiers refused to withdraw.

"Flank, go from the side!"

Huang Chun and the others had never encountered a large group of enemies, and they were more like a group of horse thieves in the Liao Kingdom.

So when encountering such an array, his idea was to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and attack from the flank.

The rural soldiers immediately headed to the left.

"Wai!"

Zhe Katsuyuki gave the order again, and the students on the left wing subconsciously began to outflank the soldiers and chase them away.

"kill!"

Yan Baoyu rushed forward with all his strength, but the students were unable to stop him and were about to be charged in by him.

"It's coming from behind!"

The students from the left wing rushed over and stabbed forward with their spears.

"Avoid again!"

There were only 103 rural soldiers, unable to defend the enemy from three sides, and unable to break through from the front, so they could only dodge.

"Right wing, surround!"

"rush ahead!"

"prick!"

So everyone saw a strange scene: the rural soldiers were constantly weaving around on the left and right sides, but they were attacked from both sides by the students, and they were in a panic.

"This doesn't look like fraud, does it?"

Zhao Zhen asked in surprise.

Gu Zuo Shun had already returned, and he said: "Guan family, these rural soldiers may be fine individually, but once they form a formation, they... are just stragglers and vulnerable to attack!"

These people acted as horse thieves in the Liao territory. When attacking, they rushed to kill them and when they ran away, they also fled in a swarm.

Individually speaking, these rural soldiers are all tough soldiers, and it was difficult to find such tough soldiers even in the Song Dynasty.

No one else, because they killed enough people, and the people they killed were Liao people.

The Song Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and the army has long been weak. There is no way to compare with them.

The remaining scruples in Zhao Zhen's heart dissipated, as did the ministers and ministers.

But some people looked heavy, as if their parents had died. They looked at the rural soldiers with more fervent eyes, hoping that the rural soldiers could turn defeat into victory.

Shen An looked at this scene with a smile, laughing in his heart.

Brother knows that you are still worried, so defeating the country soldiers this time will kill two birds with one stone.

After this battle, Mr. Shen will also be known as a good soldier, which is a great benefit. When there is an opportunity to command the army in the future, no other civil servant can compare with him.

Moreover, once the reputation of being both civil and military comes out, the momentum of the old Shen family will become even greater.

The second advantage is that everyone thinks this Mangshan Army is just stinky shit and not a threat.

Although there were not many more than a hundred people, they could not compare with the tenants in the families of landlords and wealthy people. But after all, in Bianliang, Shen An would be really numb if he was impeached.

Zhao Zhen looked at him and said, "You actually know how to train soldiers, not bad."

Shen An was able to train troops, which was an unexpected surprise for Zhao Zhen.

Civil and military officials are staring at Shen An.

According to the rules, now he should humbly show that he doesn't understand shit.

Shen An said with a smile: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. I only know a little bit about it. I can't count it as knowing how to fight."

The innocent look on his face when he spoke made the officials feel sick.

That's it if you know a little bit about it, but what if you know a little bit about three or four? Does that mean we need to unite the army in the Northern Expedition and recapture Youyan in one battle...

Han Qi lowered his head slightly and cursed: "Shameless!"

Everyone around them nodded in agreement with this assessment.

They were scolding him for being shameless, but Shen An felt that the battle should be over, so he led his people to start a fight.

"kill!"

Yan Baoyu jumped up and struck with his sword, but Zhe Kexing rushed up from behind and stabbed him with his spear.

Yan Baoyu blocked with his sword, Zhe Kexing closed the gun, then turned the gun head and struck.

As the two of them walked back and forth, the surrounding area gradually became empty.

The country soldiers felt shameless, so they all avoided it and stood on the edge to catch their breath.

They were driven around by the students just now, and they were as tired as dead dogs.

Zhe Kexing and Yan Baoyu fought hard, but were finally stopped by Shen An.

Gu Zuoshun strode over and shouted: "This battle... the Imperial College wins!"

The students couldn't believe it. They looked at each other and their faces gradually turned red.

So excited!

When everyone thought they were going to lose, they actually turned defeat into victory. Everyone excitedly talked about their bravery just now.

"Someone stabbed two people earlier."

"Someone was stabbed too!"

"Were you scared just now?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Someone forgot to be afraid and only knew to follow the order and shoot."

"It turns out that the array we practiced during morning exercises is really useful!"

"This is what the storyteller taught us personally. The storyteller... he is actually a famous general?"

"Yes! Storyteller...he actually knows the art of war."

Hundreds of pairs of admiring eyes followed Shen An's figure.

It was just a drill, but this group of students led by Shen An already regarded him as an omnipotent talent and famous general!

The onlookers were also admiring.

"The Imperial College is amazing! I thought they were powerless before, but I didn't expect it!"

"They used to have no power to restrain chickens, but after Shen An went to the Imperial College, they made many new rules, including daily drills, and it is said that they had to kill chickens."

"But these students are indeed energetic! I have seen many scholars in Bianliang, but I have never seen such scholars who make people feel... full of vitality. Yes, they are full of vitality."

"It would be great to be able to be civilized and martial. Looking at their appearance, some people want their children to sign up, but they are afraid that they will not accept them."

"We won't accept it this year. We'll try again next year."

"Okay, I'll try it with my kids next year."

The students in the Imperial College held their heads up proudly after hearing these words.

Guo Qian and Chen Ben were completely confused.

Guo Qian supported Chen Ben and said in a trembling voice: "Really...really won?"

Chen Ben nodded and said, "I really won."

Guo Qian lamented: "When did the Imperial College become so prosperous? Ah! Tell me, when did the Imperial College become so prosperous?"

Chen Ben was also very excited, "Yes! It has never been so beautiful."

Both of them thought of one person, the boy who they both loved and hated.

Shen An was rich and willing to spend money, but he kept interfering in the affairs of the Imperial College and gradually changed the Imperial College beyond recognition.

The rural soldiers stood there blankly. They would be ordered to go back later.

"Drinking tonight!"

Huang Chun's expression was ugly, and Yan Baoyu said even more sternly, "You called me earlier! Otherwise, someone could have gone in at that time."

Huang Chun said angrily: "Kill them! Those students were coming from behind our butts. If they don't run away, they will be stabbed in the butts. Do you think this is killing pigs? Even if they are killing pigs, they are killing their necks, and there is no stabbing in the butts." of."

Yan Baoyu said coldly: "At that time, I was just focused on fighting in the front, but there must be something wrong with your command."

Huang Chun sighed: "That's just because you are fancying it. Go ahead and have some good wine later."

After getting Yan Baoyu away, Huang Chun walked towards Shen An.

The two stood side by side, their lips moving slightly.

"Mr. Lang, did you reveal your secret today? Baoyu even feels that something is wrong."

"No."

Previously, if Huang Chun had shouted slower, the village soldiers with Yan Baoyu as their arrow would have rushed in, and then the students would have covered them from behind, and the two sides would have turned into a melee.

But every time Yan Baoyu was about to attack, Huang Chun would call for transfer. After a few times, morale completely disappeared.

This is Shen An's ability to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only can it break the bad rule that literati do not practice martial arts, but it can also free the Mangshan Army from suspicion.

Huang Chun said proudly: "Now the officials will definitely not think that we are in danger, right?"

Shen An's explanation in the past two days was very clear: you have a bad reputation in Xiongzhou, and you are even more audacious after coming to the capital. You even want to set the entire Bianliang City on fire, which is a taboo.

If the Mangshan Army could easily defeat the students of the Imperial College, they would probably be soaked in bitter waters for the rest of their lives.

Shen An nodded and said: "But you haven't gone through formal training. I will ask Zhe Kexing to take you in the future. Remember to obey the rules. If you don't obey the rules, go back to Xiongzhou."

Huang Chun was horrified and bowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, no one dares to go against your wishes."

Shen An nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job and tell them that our lives will only get better and better in the future."

Huang Chun said with a smile: "That's right, we have been eating meat every day these days. Brothers all say that Mr. Lang is willing to spend money on us. He is as admirable as Zhizhou."

It is a matter of course for soldiers to eat food. As long as the food and wages are sufficient and supplemented by various trainings, the combat effectiveness of the army will be strong.

The only difference between Shen An and others is that he is not short of money.

Brother is not short of money. If you are obedient, I will make you vomit after eating the fat meat.

Shen An then went to Zhao Zhen's side. At this moment, a group of civil and military officials were confused.

"You actually won? How did you determine victory or defeat? Was it cheating?"

Some people were questioning, and Gu Zuoshun explained: "There are many warriors here today, and everyone can see the fighting between the two sides. Many of the country soldiers were stabbed, but they refused to withdraw according to the rules... There is no hypocrisy."

Those rural soldiers were really shameless to the extreme. The warriors were all sighing and shaking their heads, feeling that these scum in the army should be driven out.

The civil servants looked at the warrior and all they saw were affirmative looks.

This is wrong!

Does Shen An really know soldiers?

Although I don’t know if there was any love interest in the Imperial Academy’s victory, everyone just felt the aura of the students.

It’s amazing!

Someone praised: "Shen Daizhao is really amazing, he can actually bring out students with such spirit."

Someone muttered: "A certain person has also read military books..."

Bao Zheng shouted angrily: "You are Zhao Kuo, just talking on paper."

The man raised his head and said, "Shen An is also talking on paper, but I don't believe it..."

Just when Shen An came back, he said solemnly when he saw this: "Then you can also train a group of students. Can I give you half a year? After half a year, everyone will wear armor and fight for training. The loser will resign and go home. Do you dare?" "

Madan! How dare you get angry at Lao Bao and seek death!

The man's eyes flickered and he said: "A certain official has many official duties..."

This was an excuse to avoid the bet without losing face.

Shen An said coldly: "There is a lot of official work. If you want to come to the official house, you will be happy to see scholars who are versatile in both civil and military affairs. Otherwise..."

"alright."

Zhao Zhen stepped forward to stop the conflict. It seemed normal, but he took another look at the man.

Ruined!

The man turned blue and knew he was on the blacklist.

Officials won't look at you much if nothing happens. Once they look at you, they are either ready to use you or... discard it.

The man thought that he had no merits or achievements, so he couldn't help but feel sad, like mourning his heir.

He was just jealous of Shen An's victory. He was so jealous that he couldn't help but wanted to stab him, but he didn't expect that Bao Zheng would stand up for Shen An, and the matter got out of hand.

Fu Bi nodded and said, "It's rare for an official to know how to be a soldier!"

Zhao Zhen stroked his beard and looked at Shen An, and said with a smile: "It's rare, but don't be complacent, and you have to teach hard..."

The meaning of these words is quite strong: work hard, I will remember your civil and military skills, and I will naturally benefit from you in the future.

Shen An agreed, feeling proud and happy, wishing he could sing a song to vent his emotions.

I don't know how many people present were feeling sour in their hearts. After Zhao Zhen's words were dispersed, the literati who came to watch the battle were even more heartbroken.

They all thought that the local soldiers would win today, and even made private bets, but they did not expect that the result would be the opposite of what everyone thought.

Someone whispered: "If we had known that these country soldiers were so incompetent, we could have found some students to train and defeat them... From now on, we will be both civil and military!"

Many people were immediately moved.

Both civil and military!

This will be a bonus in the future for promotion. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will be able to lead the army and become a candidate for the prime minister.

Who doesn’t long to enter the political hall with dignity?

Who doesn’t desire promotion and fortune?

Some people's eyes were red, filled with jealousy and ambition.

Only Wang Anshi stood there looking at Shen An and murmured: "This won't be just a competition."

He thought for a long time and followed everyone back to the city.

After waiting in the check-in room, he suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

"Is Shen An trying to improve the reputation of warriors?"

No one knew what Shen An wanted to do.

He still went to the Imperial College to teach every day, and his miscellaneous studies professor became more and more cheerful.

When he returned home, he would give lessons to Zhao Zhongzhen, and Wang Yu would also come, but Zhe Kexing gave him a headache. He always said he was going to train the Mangshan Army, and then stole alcohol and ran away.

From then on, there was the sound of practicing on Zhuangzi every day, and it never stopped.

Shen An felt that it was good for him to hibernate like this. His daily life was as stable as the old guys in later generations, a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper to read for a long time.

Wang Tiande was like a ball, rolling into the Shen family.

"Anbei, delivery today, everyone is waiting for you!"

After signing the contract and through the efforts of all parties, the first batch of goods was finally produced, and today is the day of delivery.

A group of people rushed to Zhuangzi. At this moment, the place was full of large cars.

The coachmen stood on the edge and talked loudly, with joy in their words.

"These merchants went north and south. UU Reading www.uunnnn This journey is far enough. If the driver refused to drive the cart with all his strength and the goods were bumpy and damaged, they would cry to death. So they paid a big price, and these cartmen went back and forth. You can make a lot of money just by going there.”

There was a hint of envy in Wang Tiande's words, and Shen An couldn't help but sigh: "You are rich, do you still envy the money earned by several coachmen?"

Wang Tiande's face turned red and he said, "Isn't this a habit? I don't want to see people making money."

This person was looking for money. Shen An shook his head, dismounted, and walked towards the merchants who were welcoming him.

"I've seen the imperial edict."

A group of businessmen bowed and saluted from a distance. Some were unfamiliar, some were experienced, and their speaking tones were also different. There was a flood of flattery for a while.

Happy the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone who has a monthly ticket please vote for the man. Jazz will adjust for another two days and be ready to resume updates.
