Shi Daqing walked out of the state city, looked back at the mountains of Khitan corpses piled up outside the city, and still felt frightened. I didn't expect that the Privy Council would order all these people to be killed. After Zhizhou Liang Qian beheaded these people, they were all piled up outside the city for Jingguan. Not to be scary, just to make the people of the Deep State angry, but also to show that they are capable.

has been a soldier for many years, and it is the first time Shi Daqing has encountered this kind of thing, and the prisoner was captured by himself, so he sighed in his heart.

After the war, Shi Daqing moved from the palace to the fifth order as the east head worship officer, and reached the top of the small envoy. As long as you go further, you can become an ambassador and become a middle and high-ranking general. Without this battle, Shi Daqing would not have been able to reach this point as a soldier for a lifetime.

After receiving the official letter of the Privy Council, Shi Daqing took several important generals in the army to Dingzhou to meet Du Zhongxiao.

Yesterday there was another heavy snowfall, and the road was very difficult to walk. Several people went all the way west to Zhending Mansion. Then transfer to the train to Dingzhou.

Du Zhongxiao was looking at the map in the official hall, carefully checking the deployment of Khitan troops. A soldier came in and said with his hands crossed: "Captain, there is a Shi Daqing outside, saying that he is a general in the forbidden army, and he has come to ask for a meeting." ”

Du Zhongxiao raised his head and said, "Let him wait for me in the living room." ”

The soldier answered, turned and went out.

Du Zhongxiao stood alone, thinking about Shi Daqing's meritorious service, and felt that this person was very interesting. Xiao Hujian led more than 1,000 people to the south and fought in several states and counties, but the pursuers sent by Liu Jianji could not catch up. Where did I know that there was a coincidence, and I was bumped into by this Shi Daqing.

In that battle, Shi Daqing made a quick decision, sent troops to block the intersection, and brought cavalry into the village to kill. Before the Khitans could react, they were slaughtered. Some chaotic soldiers tried to rush out of the village but were blocked, and finally they were all wiped out. When encountered, he can make decisions on the spot, arrange carefully, and dare to lead a small number of soldiers and horses into the enemy's formation. In this battle, Shi Daqing showed the ability of a commander.

However, according to the report from Shenzhou, Shi Daqing does not know a few big characters, which is not suitable for the army that has been trained. used to be just a commander, but it was only because of the whole training, the incompleteness of the forbidden army, and the appreciation of Zhizhou for him, that he got this opportunity to lead the troops by chance.

Shaking his head, Du Zhongxiao smiled. There is nothing wrong with the training of the forbidden army, but in the process of training, there will definitely be missing talents. There's no way around it, where is there so much perfection in between? The most important thing is that if there is a missing talent, we should try our best to promote it, and don't be inflexible.

When he arrived in the living room, Shi Daqing hurriedly crossed his hands and sang: "The last general, Shi Daqing, has seen the captain!" ”

Du Zhongxiao saw that Shi Daqing was tall and powerful, and nodded: "Sure enough, he is a good man." This annihilation of the Khitans who went south made a great contribution. You fought this battle very beautifully, if you are eliminated, you will not be used in the army, it is a pity that you have talents. ”

After saying that, he sat down in his seat. looked at Shi Daqing, pondered for a while and said, "According to your own meaning, what will you do in the future?" ”

Shi Daqing arched his hand: "The status of the last general is low, and listening to the dispatch of the imperial court is, where can it be his turn to think something." ”

"Can't say that. At present, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops are being trained, and as long as they meet the requirements, they will stay at will. Du Zhongxiao tapped on the table, "If you are allowed to continue to lead the troops, are you willing?" ”

Shi Daqing said: "The last general can't understand the poems. I heard that now leading soldiers must read and write. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't you know a word?" ”

Shi Daqing said: "Back to Taiwei, the last general knows a few big words, but he can't read the article." ”

Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "The official document in the army is different from the article. The most important thing for a general is to read official documents, not to miss official affairs, and not to write poems for gifts. In this case, you first come to my commandery, learn some writing, and then go and lead the troops. ”

Shi Daqing sang a promise with his hands and thanked him.

Du Zhongxiao said to the soldier on the side: "Go and ask Zhao Zi to come over and say that I have something to find him." ”

After a while, Zhao rolled in and sang a promise with his crossed hands.

Du Zhongxiao pointed at Shi Daqing and said: "This Shi Daqing is the general who led troops to surround Xiao Hujian and annihilate him a few days ago. ”

Zhao Zi looked Shi Daqing up and down, and nodded again and again: "Sure enough, he is a brave general!" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "I want to use him, but he doesn't know much and can't read official documents in the army." So let him come to you for a few days, and you send someone to teach him to read. After this battle, go to the military academy and come out to continue to lead the troops. ”

Zhao Zi said: "The captain commanded, the subordinate officials did not dare to slack off!" I have my own literacy teacher there, and in two or three months, it should be done. ”

Zhao Zhongxiao said: "In addition to teaching him literacy, let him know how to lead troops to fight now." In the past, when the two armies fought, it was the main general with his cronies, and they often went into battle to fight. When the commander is unfavorable, the hearts of the whole army are shaken. Now it is different, it is the commander-in-chief who deploys troops according to the situation on the front line. Many officials, staff officers at the side of the chief general. It can be said that in the past, the main generals were surrounded by cronies, and they had to fight bravely. The current commander-in-chief is surrounded by staff officers, who need to be familiar with the war, be able to do calculations, and be able to provide advice in a timely manner. ”

Shi Daqing said: "When the last general is in the forbidden army, the maximum is only to command the envoy and bring 500 soldiers. What the captain said, the last general really didn't understand. ”

Zhao Zi said: "It is precisely because you don't understand that Taiwei will let you come to me." I command the world's soldiers and horses here, and fight for life and death with the enemy. After coming to me, I naturally understand how the army is fighting now! ”

Shi Daqing heard this, and hurriedly crossed his hands and sang a promise.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Zhao Zi, you arrange a suitable position for him, find another master, and teach him." What we lack in our army now is people who can really lead troops. Shi Daqing, as long as you are humble and studious, you will not be disadvantaged. ”

Shi Daqing hurriedly thanked him. He really didn't know how to fight in the army now, and he didn't know what he had to learn. However, after many years in the army, he still wanted to lead the troops, and did not want to be eliminated. Although he has been promoted now and is not in the army, there will be an official to do, but it is not to his liking.

After the order, Du Zhongxiao instructed the soldiers to lead Shi Daqing down. A place to live was arranged today, and someone would naturally take him to Zhao Zi tomorrow to take up his post. Zhao Zi's role, if you insist on analogy, is equivalent to the chief of staff of later generations. Of course, there were many different times, but he was indeed the most powerful and responsible place in the Privy Council. It's easiest to learn things by doing things there.

Let Zhao Zi sit down, Du Zhongxiao said: "Tomorrow, you and I will go to Hejian Mansion together." One is to meet Liu Ji, and then take a look at the geography and people's conditions there. I can't make up my mind where to put Shuaiji. ”

Zhao Zi was stunned: "Does the Taiwei want to put Shuai Si in Hejian Mansion?" We all thought we were going to Dingzhou. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Shuai Si can't be at the forefront, otherwise it will be difficult to control the overall situation." In Dingzhou, it is still in Hejian Province, and they are all eligible. If the Flying Fox is not occupied, if the Khitan still wants to send troops from the Taihang Mountains, it is naturally suitable in Dingzhou. Now it was different, having occupied the Flying Fox, the Khitan could only go south from Baozhou and Xiongzhou. If you go to Baozhou, it is naturally suitable in Dingzhou. If you go to Xiongzhou, it is suitable for Hejian Province. ”

Zhao Zi nodded: "I see." It's just that now the Khitan is only attacking the mouth of the Great Wall, and there is no movement there in Xiongzhou. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "To go to Xiongzhou, you have to cross the Juma River." The ice on the river was not thick, and the Khitan, of course, did not dare to go south. It snowed heavily for the past two days, and it was as cold as a day. When the Juma River freezes, it won't be good. ”

Zhao Zi forked his hand: "The captain ordered, and the subordinate followed!" ”

The gourd embankment in the north of Baozhou, there is a large swamp in the north of the embankment. Even if it is frozen, the swampy area is not easy to walk. Although Baozhou and Xiongzhou are close together, the battle lines are not connected. If the fighting is mainly in Baozhou, Shuaisi is of course suitable in Dingzhou. Ben Du Zhongxiao always felt that the Khitan was only afraid that he would not attack Dingzhou to the death, and it was more likely to send troops in Xiongzhou. At that time, it would be more appropriate for Shuai Si to be in Hejian Province.
