A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Qingjian City was built on Dongshan Mountain, with the Qingjian River flowing beside it, irrigating countless fields. There are forts and the main city surrounding it forming a horn shape, covering each other, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"The terrain here is difficult. We can attack the Wuding River area, such as Suizhou, and then capture Mizhi..."

Standing on the city wall, Zhong'e's magnanimity is evident, he is guiding the country, and he is extremely confident.

This is what he did from now on, polishing it step by step, aiming at the front line of Hengshan... From then on, the Song Dynasty formed a strategic advantage over Xixia here.

This man just has a cruel temper and is a little proud of his civil and military skills, otherwise Shen An would be happy to make friends with him.

Standing on the city and looking at the surrounding forts, I feel a sense of security greatly increased.

"Those Fan people seem to be grazing freely, but if the Xixia people come, they have to rely on us to open the city to accept their cattle and sheep, otherwise they will lose everything, so it is very cheap to recruit Fan people into the army."

Zhong E patted the city head with a lot of pride in his heart.

"Can't the soldiers from the Central Plains do it?"

Along the way, Shen An saw that many of the sergeants were Ban people, and felt a little puzzled.

"No." Zhong'e shook his head and sighed: "As time goes by, soldiers in the Central Plains will miss their families and have no fighting spirit."

This is a consequence of the military system, but there is no way to solve it.

"Unless it's rotation." This is the method Shen An recommends.

"The Privy Council will not agree." When talking about the Privy Council, Zhonge was a little dissatisfied, "This is Qingjian City, not Bianliang. All rules should be changed instead of sticking to the rules."

"Go back to a certain meeting to discuss with the rich prime minister."

Shen An walked down the city with his men behind him, leaving behind a dazed Zhonge.

"He said he would go back and help talk to the rich prime minister?"

Is Shen An so kind?

The general under his command said: "Zhicheng, after all, Shen An is a famous general. A famous general is a famous general. What kind of a famous general is he if he can't take the overall situation into consideration?"

"He is not a famous general!" Zhong E muttered, but there was a look of excitement on his eyebrows.

It doesn't matter if there are any internal conflicts, but when facing external enemies, we must put aside our past grudges and work together to defend ourselves against them.

"Brothers are angry at the wall, and they are outside to resist their insults."

Zhong E looked at the early morning sun rising from the east and praised: "In the past, a certain person suffered a loss in his hands. The Zhe family also relied on him to survive the crisis, and Zhe Kexing relied on him to become the official's favorite." Famous general Geizi, hey! Geizi! Otherwise, how can the Zhe family compare with the Zhong family?"

The battle between generals is not just about reputation, but also about resources.

If you are a good person, the children of your family will naturally have more resources.

When a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. This saying has never been true.

Therefore, the Zhe family and the Zhong family have been fighting for a long time to be the number one sect, but now the Zhe family has the upper hand.

But Shen An's hint was very grand.

As long as it's something that's good for the overall situation, just say it and I will make plans for you.

"Is this person... actually so open-minded?" Zhong E raised his head slightly and took a deep breath, "I underestimated him in the past."

He led the generals slowly down the city, and met a sergeant. He came closer and reported: "Zhicheng, just now someone from the Xixia mission came to complain, saying that you sent someone to deliver breakfast in the early morning. Those people are shameless. He touches a woman whenever he sees one, and says you are... that you are..."

Zhonge never forgives his subordinates who make mistakes, and the punishment is so severe that it can probably make civil servants stunned.

Zhong E said expressionlessly: "What is it? Tell me! I won't punish you."

The sergeant said: "You are said to be a pervert!"

Damn it!

Zhong E was furious and gnashing his teeth frightened the sergeant, and he quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Go, find out who did it, I'm going to kill him!"

Zhong E really wanted to kill someone. He strode over and the kneeling sergeant got up as if he was being pardoned and ran away in a flash.

"Go and check! Go and check right away!"

Zhong E's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Hide the news and don't let Shen An and Chen Zhongheng know, otherwise it will be a crime."

He had a headache. If not for the envoy, he could suppress this matter single-handedly, but Chen Zhongheng was here!

As for Shen An, he is also half-military and would just laugh off such things, but Chen Zhongheng is different. He is the eyes of the official family and will go back and report anything he sees.

If the officials find out about this, they will not be able to escape the reputation of being lax in running the army.

This was a heavy blow to Zhong E, who wanted to be a famous general and revitalize the Zhong family, so he had to cover up the matter.

The city gradually became more and more murderous. The soldiers were searching for information, and soon the results were obtained.

"Zhicheng, someone saw those people entering our mission's residence!"

Damn it!

The sergeant who came to report found that Zhong'e's eyes were red, and he thought to himself who... it should be Shen An. How could he deceive people like this and not be afraid that Zhicheng would fight for him?

Zhong E suppressed his anger and said, "Let's go and take a look."

He took people to see Shen An.

Without any obstruction, he was led all the way to the front hall.

In the front hall, Shen An and Chen Zhongheng were present, along with several accompanying officials and two plainclothes men.

"...After I entered, I found that most of the people in the Xixia mission were avoiding a room, so I tried to find a way to test it, but the people accompanying them were alert and were stopped twice. At this time, a woman came out, The villain pretended to be a pervert and teased him. Those Xixia people were so angry that they just bothered with the villain, so he took the opportunity to take a look at the house..."

Another plainclothes man said: "Lang Jun, the decoration inside looks very elegant, and there is some fragrance. The villain was held back just as he wanted to go in."

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen An nodded, and the two plainclothes men left. They happened to see Zhong E when they went out.

Zhong'e's anger has dissipated, but he still feels depressed.

Shen An waved and said, "You came just in time. Someone went to investigate the Xixia mission in the morning. Because they didn't want to alert the enemy, they borrowed your name, which offended them."

What can I say?

Chen Zhongheng smiled and said: "Zhong Zhicheng must have a deep understanding of righteousness."

Zhong E wanted to say that he was angry, but he could only smile, "Yes, it's just a trivial matter."

"The Xixia mission is a little weird. In that case, let's meet tomorrow."

Then he sent the accompanying ceremonial room officials to report the news.

The next day, after breakfast, Shen An and Chen Zhongheng were waiting in the front hall.

Later, someone came to report: "The Xixia envoy is here, and many people are here."

"Except for the messenger, everyone else will stop."

The home court advantage is not given in vain. If Shen An didn't know how to take advantage of it, all those years of compulsory education would have been wasted.

Later a thin man was brought in.

"Liang Xing has met Hou Guixin."

The man held up his hands and sat down immediately.

The man has fair complexion, which is very rare for Xixia people.

"Your envoy has come from afar. What does the Lord have to say?"

Shen An was observing the other person and felt that this person had good facial features, at least much more handsome than Chen Zhongheng.

Poor Chen Zhongheng didn't know that he was at gunpoint again and was pretending to be dignified.

Liang Xing was also sizing up Shen An. He held the tea cup without drinking, and said slowly: "Yelu Hongji has solved the troubles in the country. Now that the Liao Kingdom is united, is the Song Dynasty worried?"

Shen An shook his head, "When we were in Fuzhou, you were willing to use it as bait to lure out the Fuzhou army. The elite heavy cavalry of the Liao army took advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, but did they succeed?"

Shen An leaned back slightly, with a faint smile and a calm expression.

This is the magnanimity a country’s envoy should have!

Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but secretly praise it, and then learned from it.

It's just that he's fairer and fatter, so he doesn't look like him.

Liang Xing smiled, "That's because the Liao people want to bewitch us... To be honest, the Liao people made a promise at the beginning that once Zhejizu is destroyed, Linfu Road will be handed over to us. But this is a plan to kill three people with two peaches. We know...but we can't say no."

Chen Zhongheng was furious and just about to speak, Shen An coughed dryly and said, "Keep talking."

Liang Xing didn't even look at Chen Zhongheng, "The northwest is difficult. We are surrounded by enemies on all sides. If we can capture Linfu Road, then the Yellow River will serve as a natural barrier. We only need to guard against the Liao people on this side. So the Song Dynasty does not need to think that we have How ambitious, it’s just self-preservation.”

"What you say is better than what you sing." Shen An kept smiling, "The northwest is difficult, but the Yellow River is full of dangers, and only the rich are rich. When Xixia says it is poor, who are you kidding?"

Liang Xing lowered his head, and Chen Zhongheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "The Marquis of Guixin knows everything about astronomy and geography. What do you want to show off in front of him... Isn't that a joke? Ho ho ho!"

The chamberlain's laughter was sharp and harsh, and it also contained a gloating mood.

Shen An's eyelids twitched, feeling that Lao Chen was too mean, UU reading www.uukｎshu.net But only Chen Zhongheng like this was worth making friends with.

"I have also heard about the reputation of Gui Xinhou. It is said that everyone raises a son hoping to be smart, but his life is derailed by being smart. I only hope that the child will be stupid and careless, and will be able to reach the throne without any disaster. I deeply agree."

"Does Xixia actually know about it too?"

Shen An didn't expect that his poems would be spread so widely, and he felt a little complacent for a while. I was wondering if I could plagiarize more, and in the future I and Su Shi would become twins in the poetry circle of the Song Dynasty...

There are so many poems! For example, Lao Xin's is good, and Ming Dynasty's...

If I plagiarize everything, will there be an extra title in future textbooks?

——The famous poet Shen An of the Song Dynasty!

Very cool!

Shen An wandered away for a moment, and Liang Xing said with a smile: "Our country has also built new schools now. Those who should study should go to study. I think in a few decades, the people will be naturally simple and honest."

"Really?" Shen An took a sip of tea. He never thought that studying could make people simple and honest, but since this person said so, he was also happy to see it happen.

The Liao people have been in the country for many years, and the rich and powerful have enjoyed many things. They have learned many things from the Central Plains. As a result, the more they learn, the weaker they become, and they are eventually swept into the garbage heap by the Jin people.

It can be seen that it is okay to study, but you must not abandon the martial spirit, otherwise you will use the pen to fight with the gun, and fight with wool!

Old God Shen An was drinking tea and seemed not to care about the negotiation at all.

Time passed. After three cups of tea, Liang Xing went to the toilet and came back to get down to business.

His mouth has good edges, and his teeth look very white when he opens them. "The leader of our country hopes that the Song Dynasty can sell some weapons... In return, Xixia will have a big war with the Liao people."

Chen Zhongheng was moved.

If the Xixia and Liao people fought, no matter who won or lost, the benefits to the Song Dynasty would be self-evident.

But Shen An shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."

Good night everyone, and please give me your monthly tickets.
