Chapter 740: Tao Jiefu fell

Same as the end of May. The atmosphere of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info court is not as dark as last time, but it is also a little depressing.

This time, the Great Song Dynasty, as the attacker, did not hear the good news of Xiazhou, nor did he hear the good news of Gao Fangping in Xiping Mansion, on the contrary, he heard that Gao Fangping made a mistake again, and with 30,000 cavalry in his brain, he tried to fight a decisive battle with the invincible White Horse Military Division on the Baichi grassland.

Zhao Ji didn't know how dangerous the White Horse Military Division was, and now he was too confident in Xiao Gao, so he just asked curiously: "My marshal Gao Fangping won the Battle of Song and Xia, this time he marched into Western Xia, with his courage and good fighting, there will be no problems, who told me, Xiao Gao, when will he come back with my army?" ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jing and Tao Jiefu's hearts were full of tears.

Tao Jiefu did not object to Gao Fangping sending troops to Western Xia, but Tao Jiefu knew who Xiao Heda was and who the White Horse Military Division was. Gao Fangping is known as invincible in the field, which is true, but it also depends on the place, this time that kid wants to compare his cavalry skills in the prairie and Xiao Heda, Tao Jiefu really wants to die.

As for Cai Jing, he really didn't know how Gao Fangping and Xiao Heda fought, Lao Cai only knew that now Gao Fangping's body was getting bigger and bigger, and the emperor trusted him more and more. And his kid has been in the Western Xia for three months, and there has been no good news for a long time, so he only supports the army over there and respects himself, and then relies on various interests such as armaments, horses, food, etc., and makes a fortune that is called a cool, which makes other sharks red-eyed.

Therefore, Cai Jing is under great political pressure, and the corrupt officials and powerful people who count on Lao Cai to eat are really not as few as one hundred and two hundred, but Cai Jing is now unable to help them snatch food from Gao Fangping's mouth, which is a fatal place. Damn, Gao Fangping's appearance is too ugly, and it is difficult to see that too many people are red.

So Cai Jing said with a non-yin and non-yang look: "Yes, this matter that Your Majesty is worried about should be discussed systematically, Gao Fangping has taken too much risk when he marches into the army." He commanded two departments, totaling nearly 110,000 elites of the Great Song Dynasty, and if they didn't come back, the court wouldn't be at peace for a day. Lao Chen thinks that since he has won the national war, why did he take such a big risk to enter the army, but he has not seen the results of the war for a long time? ”

Uncle Zhang came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't shake your confidence, this is a critical moment, and it is an active situation that my Great Song Dynasty has never had. With Gao Fangping's caution, he will not suffer too much loss. On this side, he only carried 110,000 troops, and he had already left a back hand, even if the last elite of Western Xia was difficult to bite, we would not fall into passivity. The way of the battlefield is ever-changing, and we do not understand the situation in the rear. If he doesn't fight a decisive battle for a long time, he will have good intentions, which is also his reassuring prudence, and he has won the essence of Zhuge Art of War. “

After a pause, Uncle Zhang said again: "The minister doesn't have much experience in military affairs, but it can be seen that Gao Fangping's strategy this time is to drag the words against the Western Xia, the national strength of the Western Xia is limited, and this time it has suffered a drought, lack of food and forage, and they can't afford to spend too long under the situation of the army pressing the border, and it is only a matter of time before there is internal chaos." Taking advantage of these is Gao Fangping's strengths, give him more time, and can't hastily conclude the results now. ”

Zhao Ji said: "I'm not worried, but distressed. My army is now fighting for the country in a hot environment, Gao Fangping's child has been born for more than half a year, but a pampered person like him has led a large army to hike in the wilderness, and now the war is delayed. I don't know what year and month Xiao Gaoqing's family can successfully class and return to the dynasty to enjoy the glory. I'm not confused, he has created more things for our Great Song than anyone else, but speaking of which, he himself has not enjoyed much. ”

Uncle Zhang said with a black line on his face: "That calf has caught more than anyone else, there is no need for Your Majesty to worry about him, he has already enjoyed it, five years ago, the minister has only heard the deeds of that gentleman who scourged Bianjing, like a rat crossing the street." He's paying off his debts now. ”

Gao Yu Lao'er was extremely embarrassed to listen, although he could explain it to the emperor like this, but there was no need to say it so ugly and straightforward, it was really.

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Zhang Qing still has a bad temper and is too strict with people. ”

At this time, the messengers from the northwest, holding the so-called 800-mile expedited flag, entered the main hall as if no one was in a no-man's land.

Yes, in the current wartime, any military report sent to the Privy Council, if it is during the court meeting, can be directly delivered to the court.

"Report ......"

The little soldier looked out of breath.

Tao Jiefu said worriedly: "Could it be that the cavalry tug-of-war in the Baichi area has come to an end so quickly?" ”

"Out, report to the Prime Minister's ......" Xiao Bing breathed a sigh of relief, "The 31,000 main battle cavalry of the Xiao Gao Xianggong Department met with more than 50,000 main forces of the White Horse Military Division led by Xiao Heda of Western Xia in the area north of Baichi, and after seven days of tug-of-war, nearly 20,000 main forces of the White Horse Qiang Town Military Division were annihilated, and nearly 40,000 were captured. Xiao Heda, the privy envoy of Western Xia, was killed in battle. The Ministry of the Little High Minister seized more than 2,000 orthodox divine arm crossbows in Western Xia, a number of military funds, and more than 20,000 war horses! ”

"What!"

Tao Jiefu looked in disbelief with his mouth half-open.

Gao Yu Lao'er felt that it was not his son, but a demon. Even if he wins, there is no need to fight so hard and so brilliantly, does he still want to pretend that he can't come back on the battlefield forever?

Cai Jing's cheeks twitched slightly, and the most worrying thing finally came. Lao Cai didn't want Gao Fangping to lose, and he also hoped to get benefits from the Song Xia battlefield, which was also the credit of the prime minister. Therefore, what Lao Cai hopes most is that Gao Fangping will be undefeated and invincible, and get benefits from peace talks with Xixia as soon as possible.

However, this time, his kid has come up with such a frenzied victory, and in such a brilliant situation, Lao Cai does not dare to mention the "armistice negotiations" at will. In the past, it was possible to use the lack of money and food in the user department as a pretense, but this time Gao Fangping's money and food consumption was not a problem at all, and the most important thing was that he could always make a fortune through war. This aspect is even stronger than the ability to fight, strange.

Zhao Ji listened to such good news, and his mouth almost smiled crookedly, "Look, I don't know how to win, in short, I have a vision, you all worry in vain." ”

Gao Yu Lao'er hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! The children are mainly lucky, and it all depends on His Majesty's cultivation and appointment of talents to succeed. Luck will run out, and the long-term use of soldiers is also not good for Your Majesty's benevolent reputation, and it is always a soldier who can always bring about the destruction of lives, food disasters, and epidemic disasters, which cannot be sustained. ”

This is exactly what Zhao Ji meant, so Zhao Ji read the short beard and said: "Yes, I also want to win, and Xiao Gaoqing's family will return to the dynasty soon, right?" ”

Tao Jiefu was worried that Xiao Gao would suffer the loss of the White Horse Military Division, but now he heard that the White Horse Military Division was killed, which of course means that there are greater interests, so the old Tao was obscene, and he went out of the class and admonished: "Your Majesty, the old minister swears not to agree to the class division at this time, a battle is won, this is just the beginning, if you don't dig out the benefits of the dividends brought by it, the old minister will not accept it, Gao Fangping will not accept it, and the soldiers who sacrificed for the country under his command will also be dissatisfied." ”

Listening to it, he couldn't be a teacher, Zhao Ji was depressed for a while. In fact, Zhao Ji's words just now were all asked by the queen mother recently.

Zhao Ji also remembered to ask the messenger soldiers from the northwest: "Answer me, in the battle with the military division of Baima Qiangzhen, how much did Xiao Gaoqing's family suffer in battle?" ”

Xiao Bing kowtowed awkwardly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the battle damage ......"

Seeing that he was swallowing and vomiting, many people, especially the officers of the Sanya Department, booed, and it seemed that the casualties could not be ignored.

"Come on, what are you doing?" Tao Jiefu frowned and shouted.

"Less than a thousand people were killed in battle." The little soldier was extremely embarrassed to say it. He didn't dare to say it because of the large casualties, but because the result was too mysterious, if he said it, the prime ministers didn't accept it, and he would be blind to cry if he dragged it out and cut it down.

I'm going to go~

Hearing such a battle damage ratio, Tao Jiefu tilted his head, laughed and fell to the ground and threw himself into the street.

The hall was unusually quiet, and no one spoke. Because of such a result, there is really a suspicion of fooling the court and treating people as fools. So no one is a fool and doesn't follow the coaxing. If you want to say that Gao Fangping can win against Xiao Heda, of course some people believe it. However, what are you kidding about the battle damage of less than a thousand people? For an army of 30,000, it was basically a negligible zero casualty.

To put it mildly, if you change someone, you can only march with an army of 30,000 people on the grassland in the summer when epidemics are frequent, and you don't have to fight, and you can also have casualties due to your own losses and various epidemics.

Gao Fangping is obscene here, he can rely on various battlefield medical methods, various health regulations and so on, coupled with his weird nutrition theory and effective rest theory, and always keep Song Jun's physical strength and physique in an excellent state.

Sure enough, his real bottom-level change has been preparing since his debut.

The results of the Battle of Baichi Grassland were so strong that Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye couldn't believe it, so they took the military report and observed it, and finally confirmed that all kinds of signatures, papers, the seal of Gao Fangping, the northern shipping envoy, and all the customs defenses on the way to customs clearance were all valid.

So it's not fake, it's really the official military report of the Northern Transshipment Division.

The so-called 800-mile expedited war report, which not only has the Northwest Transshipment Division for customs defense, but also everywhere it goes, there are customs and defense of various checkpoints to confirm it.

The Great Song Dynasty is not good at others, but this bureaucratic system is still relatively comprehensive. The stamping and date marking of the customs defense everywhere are, firstly, to determine the route taken by the urgent document, and why such a route should be taken, and then when and where it will arrive, and who will release and sign it. These must be explained, so that once something goes wrong, we will know which link has gone wrong, or only know which link has been postponed if it has been postponed.

In the end, Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye confirmed that the military report was true and valid.

Next, the court fried the pot, not happiness, not singing praises, but really panicking. Zhao Ji was frightened.

This is because Tao Jiefu really had an accident, it was not a farce for him to fall to the ground with his head crooked just now, but now he really began to have crooked eyes, drooling, and couldn't see it.

Zhao Ji didn't have time to be happy, and said loudly: "Quickly spread my will, quickly find the imperial doctor, and call Mr. He Shihan as well." ”

According to later generations, Tao Jiefu was happy to the limit and caused a stroke.

There is no way to do this, Tao Jiefu is old, and he doesn't control his appetite, his emotions fluctuate, a fat man like him, the risk of stroke at this age is very great in later generations.

In addition, Zhao Ji was also deeply impressed by He Shihan. Because she is now also very famous in the Antao Medical College, she is one of the founder's mentors.

In Bianjing, Antaoquan Medical College is second only to Tai Hospital. The main reason is that under the rules of the ancestors, it is a bit troublesome to give He Shihan the title of imperial doctor, so He Shihan does not have the title of imperial doctor, and An Tao has everything.

However, in fact, He Shihan has more chances of entering the palace to see a doctor for the royal family than An Daoquan, He Shihan mainly treats the queen's mothers, and the current Queen Mother Liu Qingjing also believes in any Shihan, so Mr. He's workload is also very large......
