Chapter 170: The network is not smooth, and Zhang Qi failed to obtain
Zhang Qi? Who is that?
It took Suning a long time to salvage the details of the name from the abyss of memory.
The area where this person was born was Fujian during the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Fujian's culture and education were prosperous, especially the special industries were very developed, although they were often ridiculed by others as shoddy, but the Fujian people who had eight mountains and one water and one penny, suffered from the relatively harsh natural environment, but did not have the heart to pursue formal perfection.
For them, as long as the engraved books can recognize the words, it is in this atmosphere of pragmatism that Zhang Kai has also developed a very practical philosophy of life.
He had a very resounding name in the online world of later generations, called China's Machiavelli.
Machiavelli, who wrote the theory of monarchy, is a household name in the West. His theories and philosophies are full of pragmatist intrigues, and some people even support him as cynical, because his thinking is too gloomy and his perception of the real world is biased, however, Zhang Kai obviously does not do that, although Machiavelli was not even a liquid in the era of his activities, but their ideas transcend the barriers of time and have an extraordinary resonance.
Soldiers are the principle of using troops that he summed up when he was fighting on the Western Xia frontier. During the reign of Zhezong Shaosheng, his cousin Zhang Dong was limited to the center, and he finally deployed his strategy on the Western Front with all his might without worrying about the future.
The step-by-step encroachment strategy, like a shrewd entrepreneur, gradually expands his company, and eats away at the market share of competitors step by step.
He used the fortified fortresses as the fulcrum of the defensive line, and then sent elite rangers to shuttle between the forts, transporting food for them and covering their flanks.
In the event that the enemy fails to attack the fort, those Rangers will be a nightmare for the enemy, and in the event that others have to retreat, the Rangers will follow.
When the Rangers poured out, those hard fortresses were the strong rear of the Rangers.
Once the Rangers have made a certain amount of gains in the course of pursuit, so much captured loot will soon be transported to the fort behind, and if the loot includes land, then there is no doubt that new forts will spring up in this new land.
Under his continuous attacks, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia could only tighten step by step and shrink into defense. After the Second Battle of Pingxia City, the territory of Western Xia suffered heavy losses, and if it were not for Zhang Di's insistence on the Huizong issue, if it were not for Zhang Qi's advanced age at that time, he had every chance to end the history of Western Xia in the Northern Song Dynasty. It did not allow the territory of Western Xia to reach its historical peak after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
If now, Suning is ready to let this figure who is not too famous in history exert all his abilities on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhang Qi in the previous life, at the age of 35, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and after that, he slowly entered the officialdom, starting from a low-level civil servant, and eventually became the supreme military commander of the Northern Song Dynasty.
So Suning broke the habit of summoning in alphabetical order and looked for Zhang Qi's trace directly from the last part of the list.
The hard work paid off, and he finally found this forgotten master of strategy from a bunch of historical celebrities.
Zhang Kai's reputation in history is not great, which also leads to his not many summoning test questions, and the five questions that Suning saw are not difficult.
That involved the poetry and singing between him and Su Shi. Among them, there is a poem describing catkins, which is even more ancient and modern. And before he participated in the imperial examination, the matter of his father's lawsuit also appeared in the topic! It is worth mentioning that after helping his father redress Zhaoxue, this benevolent brother actually won the first place in the examination that year, that is, Huiyuan, although in the subsequent palace examination, he failed to come out on top, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was generally believed that the emperor's cultural level was not high, at least he did not have the ability to evaluate who among them was the best person. Therefore, they did not respect the champion hand-picked by the emperor in private, but launched the Huiyuan that was jointly assessed by Fumei and Fumei.
Therefore, this person's attainments in terms of cultural level are not low. For example, Cai Ting and Wang Shao, who were at the same time as him, were also good generals, but they could force the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia to leave, but there was only this one.
At the same time, Suning also saw some questions about the members of the Zhang Qi family in the title, such as the aforementioned Zhang Dian, he is one of the core figures of Wang Anshi's reform, although he was not reused by Wang Anshi at the beginning, but then, this person used his own officials to win a place in the inner circle.
In addition, his nephew Zhang Heng is also very famous, although it was not too smooth in the later career development, but in the imperial examination that year, he won the champion in one fell swoop, and you must know that among the people in the same department as him, there are terrible figures such as Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Zeng Gong. Moreover, there are also the brothers Cheng Yi Cheng Hao, the master of science, Zhang Zai, the patriarch of Guan Xue, and his brother Zhang Jian, and his disciple Lu Dajun, who also participated in the competition for that scientific expedition.
Being able to stand out in such a fierce competition shows that this person's talent is by no means mediocre.
In addition, his clan uncle Zhang Youzhi is also a well-known sculptor, belonging to the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian. I heard that this kind of special talent also has a lot of attraction to Suning.
However, what Suning is most lacking now is a strategic master like Zhang Qi. So after successfully answering the five questions, he began his calling, however, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
After he pressed the summoning confirmation button, a line of bright yellow letters suddenly appeared in the test paper in his mind. There was a sparkling sentence written on it.
"The network is not smooth, and Zhang Qi failed to get it!"
Suning was stunned for a moment, he had summoned no less than two hundred historical figures, and he had never encountered a similar problem, he didn't know what was going on. So he hurriedly rushed out of his yard and went to the system to ask for the specific reason.
However, the system is not in his own room, and even the place where he often goes to barbecue has not seen him, which makes Suning more and more suspicious, is there something wrong with the system?
Suning immediately summoned several of his generals and ordered Gan Ning to lead his henchmen to begin searching for traces of the system in the surrounding area. And his more than 1,000 light cavalry, under the leadership of Zhang Ren, participated in the task of searching for people, and Suning even prepared that if there was no result in a short period of time, he would dispatch the black horse Yicong to help.
However, his actions soon paid off, and they found the system in a nearby forest.
Suning soon saw his partner, and judging from the other party's expression, he obviously didn't know that the summoning system had malfunctioned. Peace and innocence are still the main components of the system's facial expressions.
Suning took it all the way back to his courtyard, and only then did he express his doubts in a place where there was no public eye.
The system immediately showed a look of surprise. He never knew that the summoning system would have such a malfunction, so he asked Suning to call up the corresponding interface to show him, and sure enough, he also found those few shiny words.
"I'm a god, what's going on?"
may be too anxious, the system master even rushed out of Shandong dialect, although he did not use the classic inverted sentence, but looking at his demeanor, you can know that the seriousness of this matter may exceed Suning's original expectations.
"I'm going to get in touch with my family, give me a quiet forest, and I need to be like a squirrel, waiting for my family's reply."
Suning turned away from the system's field of vision, and personally led a thousand light cavalry back to the forest where the system was found, and half an hour later, the forest was completely guarded by them, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and even the sparrows that tried to break through their defenses from the sky were shot down by the archers led by Hou Cheng.
Shortly after the system entered the forest, he cast an inquiring glance into the sky, of course, his contact with his family was not achieved through some medium in the sky.
Telepathy, based on quantum technology, transcends the limitations of space and the barrier of time. No matter what plane his siblings are on a mission, or what kind of system his siblings are, they will all receive questions from this little sister about them.
Soon after, thousands of replies appeared in the system's mind, and among them, there were multiple summoning systems with similar functions to him! However, none of the self-repair methods they provided were very effective, after all, it was by far the most advanced system, and some of the bugs in the previous system had been well fixed by him, so he had to carry out the last advice of his brothers, which was to send an inquiry to the elder committee of the system family.
The Council of Elders, composed of a group of the oldest systems, is very rudimentary in its own right, belongs to the first class of calculations, and their sense of execution is terrible. It shows that their efficiency in dealing with problems is very low, so the system is not prepared to get their reply in a short time.
However, unexpectedly, the Council of Elders actually sent a message to the system before dark, and it was obvious that the system with the most comprehensive functions, the most advanced design, and the most reasonable architecture was still somewhat important in the Council of Elders.
However, this message from the Council of Elders really surprised the system, and it turned out that it simply wrote another line on it.
"Your features have been blocked! Because you have violated some taboos in the system, although it is not explicitly stipulated in our regulations, your function will no longer be able to be used until the debate within the Council of Elders reaches a final opinion! ”
This was a bolt from the blue for the system, and Pan had no idea that his function would be disabled.
She told Suning all this with an embarrassed expression, thinking that Suning would definitely be disappointed in herself, you must know that the biggest use of their system for time-travelers is that it can provide them with the ability to transcend the times, and even surpass the 21st century.
However, Suning did not express any dissatisfaction, he instead turned to comfort the system and said: "Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine." Believe me, I'm sure I'm the best time-traveler, and that damn Council of Elders will think so too, and they'll reopen their permissions to you, because they can't afford to miss a qualified time-traveler like me! Otherwise, any achievements I will make in the future will be enough to negate the meaning of their system. This is categorically unacceptable to the Council of Elders! So ......"
Before Suning finished his words, the system was already in shock.
You must know that their system clan has a strong power, and the elder committee is the decision-making level of the system clan. Their thoughts, compared to many people, are related to life and death, but Suning is fighting for himself in front of them who are so powerful!
He even said that he would be good enough, and he was ready to use his excellence to compete with the exhibition committee. There is no shortage of traversers with excellent individual ability in history, their existence is a magical system, the most worrying thing, if they continue to achieve more brilliant victories, then all people will doubt, what can your system bring to mankind?
In order not to disappoint the users, and to prevent the traversers from satirizing the system as useless, the Council of Elders will definitely do everything in its power to whitewash the façade, and their bureaucratic nature is destined to make such a choice.
These are the two of them still facing two questions, one is the taboo of the system family mentioned in that paragraph, what does it mean? The other is how Suning can use better performance to win the praise of the Council of Elders.
The second question is that Suning has already prepared a plan, although he can't summon Zhang Ji. However, he already has a clear enough understanding of Zhang Kai's strategy. Even if it was just for imitation, he could give full play to the essence of that strategy on the battlefield in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The question remains, which of their taboos has the system violated? This point must be clarified in a short time, otherwise, he may not be able to win Zhang Lao Wu Yuanhui's forgiveness. If that's the case, Suning is afraid that in the future, it will no longer be able to get the convenience provided by the system.
