A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

When it comes to rural soldiers, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is farmers.

The army of the Song Dynasty is divided into three levels: the Forbidden Army, which is the main force; the Xiang Army, which has a very complex composition and cannot guarantee its combat effectiveness...

The rural soldiers were at the bottom, because they farmed the fields on weekdays and only practiced occasionally, so they could not be considered an army.

So when they saw those big men becoming as weak as women in the hands of the country soldiers, those people couldn't help but froze.

They are ruthless and will cut off your legs just as they cut off your hands.

This combination of prohibitions and cruelty makes people feel particularly frightened.

"Go back after the fight."

Shen An made a final confession and then left the Red Sleeve Building.

In an instant, the big men were lying on the ground, screams echoed in the sky above the Red Sleeve Building, and the women were all watching from the verandah. Either covering their mouths in surprise, or unable to bear witnessing...

"so fast?"

"It was gone just after the fight."

"Those country soldiers are so fierce."

"It's said outside that they are a ghost army, killing people without blinking an eye!"

"Ghost Army?"

"That's right! Do you want to spend the night with the ghost army?"

"..."

The village soldiers clapped their hands, and Huang Chun shouted: "Everyone has gone back. There will be wine and meat tonight, so feel free to eat and drink!"

The rural soldiers went out smiling, seemingly becoming farmers again.

But those people didn't dare to look at them, let alone approach them.

Is this the Mangshan Army that was defeated by the Imperial Academy?

And that idiot Wang Shi thought he could defeat them by recruiting some thugs and retired sergeants.

How is the result?

It collapses at the first touch!

"Shen Daizhao... really knows the art of war!"

A man suddenly shook his head and said: "Civil officials personally charged into the battle and achieved military exploits. How many people in the Song Dynasty are there?"

There is yarn!

Except for the early civil servants, basically all civil servants in the Song Dynasty gradually moved in the direction of being powerless.

The root cause is just discrimination against warriors, believing that civil servants who engage in martial arts are willing to degenerate.

Of course, commanding troops is not in this category.

The benefits of reading and literacy are now revealed. After reading a few military books, everyone will be able to call themselves famous generals. At least they can strategize and let those warriors see what we are capable of.

It's just that once these people united the army and went to war, most of them were beaten with black noses and swollen faces. Then, relying on their large circle of friends and many friends, everyone praised them and praised them in articles and poems...

So a famous general was born!

After Shen An went to battle, he realized that the so-called famous general was not that simple.

Apart from other things, understanding the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is a difficulty.

The combat effectiveness of the army is difficult to understand intuitively, and reports from subordinates are often watered down, so you have to check it yourself.

Moreover, you have to understand what each army is best at, and you have to figure out the character of each general...

The first condition for a famous general is to know yourself and your enemy.

However, the famous civil servants and generals of the Song Dynasty often overestimated themselves and the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army, and then a disastrous defeat was inevitable.

The prostitutes were praising Shen An's demeanor as a famous general. Yang Li was lying there and shouted: "Put me in the car and go and report it immediately... If you don't avenge me, I will never be a human being!"

Later he returned home, then wrote a letter and asked someone to send it away quietly.

"The prince..."

"Who's dead outside?"

Zhao Yunbi was sitting on the couch, playing chess with his staff.

He raised his eyes slightly, his eyes cold.

The staff heard the ominous words and said, "It's probably an emergency."

Later, someone came in from outside and reported: "Prince, Shen An smashed the Hongxiu Tower and injured many people."

Zhao Yunbi held a chess piece between his index and middle fingers. He was looking at the chess game, and then asked casually: "What happened next?"

"Later Shen An left in a hurry."

Zhao Yunbi dropped the chess piece on the chessboard, making a slight crisp sound, and then said: "Let someone tell the censors the news."

"clever."

The staff pointed at the move he made and said: "The king's move is both left and right, echoing from afar, so high!"

Zhao Yunbi smiled, but it was a little cold.

"Prepare your horses and tell Zhao Yunliang that someone is coming soon."

Zhao Yunbi stood up, and a maid came in to change his clothes.

The aide was packing up the chess pieces and suddenly asked: "Prince, do you want that family to take action?"

Zhao Yunbi stretched out his hands, and the maid untied his robe, then put on the clothes for going out.

He said calmly: "That family is stupid. Not only did they not win after several fights, they also got the title of Bigu County King, which brought shame to the clan!"

Later he appeared in the Huayuan County Prince's Mansion.

After Zhao Yunrang was rescued, Zhao Yunliang stopped eating grain, but now he can only drink porridge.

"It's good to drink porridge! The imperial doctor said that drinking porridge will help you live longer and feel refreshed..."

Zhao Yunliang was comforting himself, and then looked at the empty bowl reluctantly, wishing he could stick out his tongue to lick the remaining porridge at the bottom of the bowl.

Zhao Zongjiang took a look. He knew the pain. Someone happened to come to report the matter, so he went out.

Zhao Yunliang quickly picked up the small bowl and stretched out his tongue to lick the bottom of the bowl.

He has never felt that the taste of porridge is so good. Really, it is better than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"Dad, the King of Beihai County is here."

Zhao Zongjiang came in. As soon as he came in, he saw Zhao Yunliang sitting upright. He looked very solemn, but the tip of his nose and chin were stained with gruel.

Just as he was about to remind him, Zhao Yunbi walked in with a smile.

"I heard that you have been in poor health recently, so I came to check on you today."

He smiled very kindly and looked like an elder.

Both parties sat down and exchanged pleasantries.

Zhao Yunbi looked at Zhao Zongjiang and said: "Zongjiang looks majestic and heroic. He can be said to be a hero in my clan. You are so lucky!"

Zhao Zongjiang lowered his head slightly to express shyness, but Zhao Yunliang said confidently: "Zongjiang is naturally good."

My son is naturally the best, and a hundred fathers will agree.

My wife is someone else’s, but my children are my own!

Zhao Yunbi nodded with a smile, and praised Zhao Zongjiang a few more times, until he gradually blushed due to the praise, and then pretended to be casual and said: "I heard that Shen An led the Mangshan Army to the Red Sleeve Tower before, and smashed it before leaving. In the lobby, there were numerous injuries.”

"real?"

Zhao Yunliang's eyes were turning green, whether from hunger or hatred.

Zhao Yunbi nodded with a smile. Seeing that Zhao Yunliang and his son both looked proud, he said: "That man has done cruel things to your family several times, but I can't stand it. It's just that the clan has its own rules. I am doing a big business, but I don't It’s easy to take action, otherwise..."

His face was full of indignation, and then sad.

Zhao Yunliang's eyes became more angry and he said, "Thank you very much."

Then Zhao Yunbi said goodbye and Zhao Zongjiang sent him out. When he came back, he saw Zhao Yunliang a little sad.

"Dad, don't get hurt!"

Zhao Zongjiang persuaded in a low voice.

Zhao Yunliang raised his head and said: "If an official family has no sons, it is like Qin losing its deer. How many people may be expelled?"

Zhao Zongjiang said: "Don't the officials care about our family and the Runan County Prince's Palace? It's just that Zhao Zongshi entered the palace and was raised by the queen herself, but he got the upper hand."

Zhao Yunliang sneered: "The official's health is not good and he will not live for a few years. But the queen doesn't like Zhao Zongshi. Do you understand? There is a gap between Zhao Zongshi and the queen."

Zhao Zongjiang was horrified, "Is this so? Dad, that's our chance."

Does Queen Cao not like Zhao Zongshi?

This is really earth-shattering news!

But how did you know this news?

"Zhao Zongshi had a hard time in the palace during those years. The queen said she was raising him, but she ignored him."

Zhao Yunliang looked at it without blinking, but he kept it secret: "Then the palace can eat people! Zhao Zongshi experienced such hardships when he was young, and he was a little scared when he returned home."

Zhao Zongjiang asked in confusion: "Dad, why doesn't the queen be more kind to him?"

If you are more kind, then Zhao Zongshi will not be able to treat you as his mother!

How great is that?

Once you leave the official family, you will be highly respected in the palace and will not become a lonely woman counting her days.

"My son, why are you so stupid?"

Zhao Yunliang shook his head and said: "At that time, the queen still thought that she could have a son! Besides, who would have the patience to take care of a child who is not born in her own belly?"

Zhao Zongjiang thought for a while and felt that this was really the case.

"Later, the queen was unable to give birth to a prince, and she probably regretted it. However, Zhao Zongshi was also older. His experiences in the palace in his early years made him extremely afraid. No matter what the queen did, she couldn't undo it. Do you understand?"

Zhao Zongjiang finally understood, and felt a little cold in his heart, but it was not that he sympathized with Zhao Zongshi, but that he was afraid.

"Dad, Shen An actually made a big fuss in the Red Sleeve Tower, but got carried away? Should we take action?"

"No."

Zhao Yunliang said calmly: "Zhao Yunbi is a very shady person. He hasn't come to the door for many years. Now, it's like a weasel giving a gift to a chicken. It's definitely not good."

"They said that the person would become violent after killing someone. This might be the case with Shen An. The censors must have gotten the news about this. We will just watch and not get involved."

"Daddy is brilliant."

"clever……"

Zhao Yunliang touched his empty stomach and said without tears: "That little thief is cunning, please be more careful next time."

Zhao Zongjiang nodded sadly, he didn't want to go without food anymore.

…

The Shen family became more lively with the return of the two masters. During this period of time, Zeng Ermei painstakingly honed her cooking skills and was able to show off her skills.

After just one meal, Guoguo asked her brother to cook.

This child is usually very sensible, so this request is probably because he misses his brother.

Shen An slapped Yang Li in the Hongxiu Building. She felt extremely happy and walked into the kitchen.

Guoguo shouted outside: "Brother, I want to eat meat."

"knew."

Zeng Ermei helped him, and Shen An crushed the tofu, then added minced meat, some green onions grown indoors at home, and mixed it with the sauce.

Then heat up the oil pan, shape the tofu into balls and fry them.

Rapeseed oil is best for frying things, but sesame oil, also known as sesame oil, is popular in the Song Dynasty.

The sesame-fried tofu balls looked good. Shen An picked one up and tasted it, then squinted and said, "It tastes great."

"Brother, someone is coming!"

"Congratulations to Brother Anbei for his meritorious service and knighthood."

Wang Yu and Zhao Zhongzhen came together, but they didn't bring any gifts.

"Where's the gift?"

"forget!"

The two looked at each other, indeed they had forgotten.

Once young people think who is their brother, they will probably ignore these things.

"What's this?"

Zhao Zhongzhen sniffed and read www. uukｎshu.ｎ Then he went away looking for food and found the meatballs.

"That's for Guoguo."

Zhao Zhongzhen said plausibly: "You can't eat that much Guoguo."

"that is."

The two guys got small bowls, each got a bowl, and then ate it in a hurry.

Guoguo was sitting next to her eating very delicately and well-behaved. When the two teenagers saw her, they tried to coax her, but Guoguo was extremely protective of her food.

"Mine! It's mine!"

The Shen family burst into laughter, but Zhao Zhen had a headache.

"Your Majesty, Shen An led the Mangshan Army to smash up a brothel today and injured many people."

Zhao Zhen took the memorial and read it, and said angrily: "Domineering! Proud and frivolous!"

The emperor's anger spread, some were snickering, others were proud...
