A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

This fight was short but brutal.

In the past, everyone was thinking about what it would be like to fight in a battle formation, but today we finally saw it.

Bao Zheng turned around and said: "The people of the Song Dynasty are about to face the threat of the Xixia people. If you are still sighing for them, then why not go to Li Liangzuo? I think you will have to be a high-ranking official and gain both fame and fortune, just like Zhang Yuan and others back then." ,go down in history."

Zhang Yuan is a Han nationality. He defected to Li Yuanhao back then. Han Qi was defeated by him in the Battle of Haoshuichuan. He was considered a big traitor. As for being famous in history, it is impossible, but it is certain that it will be infamous for thousands of years.

The dozen or so people blushed in embarrassment, and their newfound enthusiasm for poetry was gone.

A gust of wind blew, and the smell of blood from Shen An's body was blown everywhere.

"vomit!"

"The stench is terrible!"

Several civil servants had swelling in their throats and retched several times.

They recalled how casually Shen An killed the Xixia man before, and couldn't help but feel horrified.

Is this Shen An, who is called an alien?

Civilian officials are common in leading armies, but there are none who personally go into battle to kill the enemy. Even at the last moment, the civil servants were still thinking about how to control the warriors and use their wisdom to direct them to victory.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid of waiting for the imperial edict and going into battle to kill the enemy?"

Everyone likes to fight with an iron horse, but it is very dangerous, so everyone should recite poems and write lyrics, put all these heroic feelings in it, and it will be remembered forever.

Shen An said: "You will definitely be afraid, but when you see the aliens wreaking havoc on the Song Dynasty, you can't stay out of it."

There are many smart people in the Song Dynasty. They know that sooner or later, all the crises in the Song Dynasty will break out and bury everyone when the time comes.

In such a crisis, they choose to act stupid.

It is enough that the crisis will not break out completely while I am alive. As for my descendants... after I die, I will not be able to see anything.

Everyone nodded, and then they felt that Shen An was not an alien, but also a civil servant who could be afraid.

"But a certain person has a weird temperament and will dote on his children..."

The battlefield was being cleaned over there, and Shen An took the opportunity to have some free time, so he taught these people who were still hoping for long-term peace a lesson: "I am worried that after I die, my children will face the slaughter of the enemies in the north. Even if they are alive, they will become slaves. From now on, I am in darkness..."

Decades later, Bianliang fell and countless Han people became slaves. After more than a hundred years, the land of China was destroyed, and the Han people became inferior people.

"That person will die with his eyes open."

Shen An nodded, and Bao Zheng said, "Let's go into the city."

Shen An gently supported him with one hand, and the group entered Fucheng.

The officials were standing outside the city, and someone said, "Are the people in the Liao people being punished by the enemies in the north the imperial edict?"

"No way. Song and Liao have been at peace for many years. How can there be another killing?"

Someone retorted: "It was the same in the pre-Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. When did the foreign races stop coveting the Central Plains? We Han people are hardworking and can always create a lot of wealth. When they look at it with greed and panic, they will rob and kill. Not once?"

Isn't this what everyone thinks? Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, foreigners can be seen every time in the Central Plains. I couldn't help but be stunned.

"The Liao people are fierce, Xixia is also fierce, what can the Song Dynasty do?"

The Song Dynasty could not defeat the Liao people, nor could it defeat the Xixia people, so everyone was very frustrated.

"Xixia is fierce, but they were defeated just now."

A civil official's eyes became brighter and he said: "In the past, everyone always said that the military was incompetent, but why was it that the imperial edict was able to lead them to defeat the Xixia people?"

"yes!"

"You will still be a civil servant when you are waiting for an imperial edict."

"Prime Minister Han..."

An official lowered his voice and said: "Han Xiang is quite young..."

Old Han was defeated back then!

"Did Prime Minister Han rush into battle?"

Everyone thought of the previous fight and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Shen An leads the army to fight, and he is the first to charge into the battle. Is this the way for civilians to lead the army?"

"That's right!"

A civil servant said longingly: "If you can kill the enemy when you are under the imperial edict, why can't we? As long as the civil servants can kill the enemy, what should we be afraid of? Think about the Han and Tang Dynasties, when the civil servants and civil servants used their swords to move around the world, and the road was uneven. Swords facing each other. When you leave the country, you can lead your army to kill the enemy..."

The civil servants were pacing more and more hurriedly, looking excited: "If the scholars and civil servants of the Song Dynasty were like this, would you be afraid of the Liao people? Are you afraid of the Xixia people?"

Everyone couldn't help but become crazy when they thought about that scene.

"Everyone marches with their swords in hand, with their heads held high and their chests held high. When they hear the battle, they are happy and ride out alone to seek fame... and they are knighted for their military merits. This is what a man does."

"If this is the case, the aliens will tremble in fear!"

A sergeant was on guard at the edge. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, there is still hope for the Song Dynasty."

A kind of excitement was inexplicably stirring outside the city.

…

Bao Zheng met with local officials at the station, and then introduced the situation.

When Shen An went to take a bath, Huang Chun acted as the commentator: "Xiang Bao, there are more than 300 cavalry here and there, and there will definitely be a large group of enemy cavalry after that."

Bao Zheng looked at the map and asked, "Why are they here?"

Huang Chun said: "They went deep into Fengxiang Mansion, firstly to inquire about the military strength of the Song Dynasty, and secondly to see if there was any defense. If not, the Xixia people might dare to make a direct attack."

Bao Zheng nodded: "Last time Li Liangzuo raided Qinzhou, fortunately... who was that?"

There was no room for Su Shi to speak here, so he pretended to be transparent from behind. When he heard the words, he stood on tiptoes and raised his hands and said: "Prime Minister Bao, I will serve as Su Shi."

Boss, I'm here!

Bao Zheng looked up at him and said, "I know it's you."

Su Shi was embarrassed, and his heels fell to the ground angrily.

"I don't know much about military matters, but I know very well that Li Liangzuo will do his best every time he attacks because he needs to win, so..."

Bao Zheng said: "Be on full alert. In addition, the officials have issued a decree, ordering Zhe Jizu and Zhong E to lead cavalry reinforcements. If Li Liangzuo comes, at least he must be disgraced, otherwise I will not be able to return to the capital. But Before that, I will let you wait until you become an official, so keep your spirits up."

I will make you lose your official position before you are unlucky!

Lao Bao's warning is shameless, but very useful.

When Shen An came out of the shower, Bao Zheng asked, "Why did you bring the enemy troops here before?"

Everyone was also a little puzzled.

Shen An said: "Wars between the Song Dynasty and foreign races happened from time to time, but how many civil servants have seen fighting in battle? Who has seen the strength of the Xixia people? I thought I would take this opportunity and let everyone see it. .Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get here.”

There was strong confidence in these words. Before this battle, these people would definitely say that Shen An was bragging, but now they admire him.

Bao Zheng glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

It is necessary to have a unified understanding before the war, and Lao Bao's question is very timely.

Wu Kang said: "Prime Minister Bao, I think the Xixia people are fierce, but they are not invincible. As long as they are commanded properly and the soldiers use their lives, I guarantee that this battle will be won."

These words were too high-minded and without nutrition, so Lao Bao simply ignored them.

Jiang Pei expressed his position: "While the war is going on, supply is the top priority. The lower official will do his best, and the Shaanxi Road will do its best."

This statement was very powerful. Bao Zheng praised: "Okay, I will report everything to Your Majesty later."

He suddenly asked Shen An: "How does it feel to kill someone?"

This problem is very troublesome. Shen An said subconsciously: "The first time I had heart palpitations and vomiting, I felt very uncomfortable for a while afterwards. But the second time it was much better, and by the third time, I could barely notice the discomfort."

Bao Zheng stood up and said: "In that case, I will look for an opportunity to see if I can kill the enemy."

Everyone was a little flustered, Jiang Peidui said with a smile: "Prime Minister Bao, just go down to the post and you... you can just take command from behind."

Bao Zheng was over sixty, and when he went into battle to kill the enemy... he was probably going to kill someone.

Bao Zheng looked at him seriously and said, "This is what you said, I will remember it."

Jiang Pei stood there blankly, and Bao Zheng said: "I'm tired, Shen An, help me see off my guests."

Bao Zheng, who is in his sixties, follows the army. It is already remarkable that he can persist here.

Shen An sent Jiang Pei and others to the gate with a smile. Jiang Pei then smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone says that you, Shen Taizhao, are an anomaly for charging into battle and killing enemies as a civil servant, but I don't think so. If it happens this time If I have the chance, I will learn from Zeng Xiang and let the sword see blood."

Shen An smiled and said: "It will definitely make Caojie happy."

Jiang Pei shook his head and said: "I said it's true that I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, but this is the first time I'm planning to kill someone. Prime Minister Bao did this for you, I... I had a difficult official career back then, but there was no one to support me. Shen Waiting for the imperial edict, Bao relative to you is so enviable!"

Shen An nodded and said: "Yes, there are many subordinates."

He performed military affairs as a civilian official, which aroused a lot of discussion from the outside world. The civil servants regarded him as an alien, which was not a good thing in the long run.

Bao Zheng used words to trap Jiang Pei. If there is a chance later, Jiang Pei will definitely go into battle with a sword. Of course, just make a show of it. But it will cause a lot of discussion afterwards.

From Zeng Gongliang's killing of enemies to Jiang Pei's entry into battle, who dares to say that civilian officials killing enemies are aliens?

Even Jiang Pei could see Bao Zheng's good intentions.

In the next two days, scouts were sent out intensively.

Jiang Pei and the civil and military officials of Shaanxi Road were constantly coordinating supplies and personnel. Infantrymen from all over the country gathered in Fengxiang Mansion. The sound of daily drills made it difficult to sleep.

Shen An went to see the drills several times. When Bao Zheng came back, he asked him how the local sergeants were. Shen An replied that they were good, at least they looked a little more wild than the infantry in the capital.

Song Jun gradually regained his energy. Just when Shen An was about to suggest some joint training, the scouts sent news.

"Enemy troops found."

The scout's face was full of panic, and Bao Zheng shouted: "How many people are there?"

The scout sniffed and said with a cry: "Forty to fifty thousand."

Wu Kang said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Bao, Li Liangzuo is here."

Bao Zheng nodded. Seeing that the scout was sad, he asked, "Why are you crying?"

The scout choked up and said: "After discovering the enemy, in order to know the number of enemy soldiers, we took the risk to get close, and then we were chased and killed. The villain's brother... died in the battle."

Bao Zheng's body froze, and a civil servant next to him shouted: "Why are you saying this in front of Prime Minister Bao? Get out!"

The scout's body trembled and he read www. uukanｓhu.net was about to plead guilty, but Bao Zheng came over, stood in front of him, and said seriously: "Your brother is a warrior, and I will report his merits..."

The scout was trembling with excitement and said with tears in his eyes: "The villain's brother will definitely be happy in heaven."

Warriors need encouragement and affirmation, so that they can be brave and not afraid of death.

Bao Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "This person can't go out in the battle, but he must be credited."

The scout said anxiously: "Xiang Bao, this villain can still fight!"

Shen An said: "Prime Minister Bao felt pity for your brother who died in the war and wanted to leave a legacy for your family."

The scout did not expect that the superior Zaifu could be so thoughtful and could not help but kneel down and cry.

"Thank you, Mr. Bao."
