The two of them had already decided, and Xue Rengui began to write a chapter for the imperial court. Because it involved the war in the two states of Shuodai, Xue Shao was invited to play together.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, when there were no instant messaging equipment and no photographic data transmission, the military commander used words to report the military situation and the war situation to the imperial court, which was actually a political activity with a high "technical content". Saying the same thing with different brushstrokes and tones will have completely different effects.

Therefore, there have always been special personnel in the military who are responsible for drafting "official documents." Xue Shao has three famous pens under his command - Su Wei, Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing, who have been in charge of the Bingbi army since the Pei Xingjian era. Such secretaries look inconspicuous in the army, but they are quite important to the commander.

However, on this expedition to Hebei, Xue Shao did not take any of them on the trip. So Xue Rengui called a marching manager under his command to be in charge of Bingbi, a very young man, who looked to be only about twenty years old, with quite upright and elegant speech and demeanor, and a typical belly with poetry and books, which gave Xue Shao a good impression.

"Young marshal, the old man needs to introduce you." Xue Rengui pointed to the marching manager and said, "His name is Song Jing, his name is Guangping, a native of Nanhe, Xingzhou, and he is the marching manager under the old man." ”

The marching manager is equivalent to the chief staff and the first army division in the army. The rest of the marching records, palms, etc., have a lower status than the management records.

"Song Jing?" Xue Shao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the conditions in his mind thought of Kaiyuan Xianxiang "Yao Chong Song Jing".

"Why, does the young marshal recognize him?" Xue Rengui was curious.

"It's just familiar, probably heard somewhere." Xue Shao smiled slightly.

"Huh!" Xue Rengui smiled and said, "It's not strange that the young marshal has heard his name. Don't look at him young, but he has already become famous in Liangjing. The old man heard that there was a capable general named Guo Yuanzhen next to the young marshal, and he was shocked to hear about the government and the opposition at the age of eighteen, yes or no? ”

"That's right. Guo Yuanzhen Jinshi was born in the pen and is my right-hand man. Xue Shao nodded, there is a saying nowadays that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", fifty years old after passing the Jinshi examination and being praised as "young and ambitious", it is enough to see that the Jinshi Department of the Tang Dynasty is quite difficult. Guo Yuanzhen was eighteen years old when he was a junior sergeant, and he can indeed be regarded as amazing.

"Guo Yuanzhen is an eighteen-year-old junior sergeant, and his name shakes the world." Xue Rengui said proudly, "But this Song Jing in front of him also surpassed Guo Yuanzhen, and at the age of seventeen, he was appointed as the commander of Yichang County." The old man heard his name and admired his high talent, and it took a lot of effort to invite him to the old man's army to worship him as a manager, and he wrote a letter to counsel the military aircraft. ”

Xue Shao was slightly startled, it seems that it is really that "Song Jing" - a seventeen-year-old Zhongjin Shi, this is his unique symbol!

"Enshuai, it's ridiculous!" Song Jing bowed his hand without being humble or arrogant, "Let's hurry up and start writing, right?" ”

"Haha!" Xue Rengui laughed, "Okay, start now!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, and said in his heart that this Song Jing is young, but he is not exaggerated and vain at all. In other words, if you are an ordinary person, your immediate boss, a commander of the army, a district division, and a commander praise yourself in front of outsiders, which is not grateful. But he was not happy at all, and was just thinking about it.

Song Jing sat down and spread out the pen and paper, and first asked Xue Shao to begin to narrate the experience of the two wars of the Shuo Dynasty, so that he could write down the main points, summarize and summarize before drafting the text, and then put forward comments after Xue Shao read it, and then make modifications and additions, so that a military situation can be regarded as a preliminary completion. As for the final written document, it is necessary to collect the detailed numbers of casualties, kills, attrition, and war losses of the war, and report them together.

Without full talent and strong practical ability, coupled with a thorough knowledge of all the details of the army, it is absolutely impossible to do the work of marching and managing the army. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were many prime ministers and famous generals who had done such work as marching management and marching records. Nowadays, Liu Youqiu, one of the three famous pens of Shuo Fangjun, is deeply respected and trusted by Xue Shao, and has full authority to represent Xue Shao in charge of the real power of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion.

Xue Shao began his oral narration from "Raising troops in Fengzhou to pursue the Turkic Wanderers", using normal language, and interpolating and supplementing it from time to time. Song Jing was engrossed in the movement of the pen like flying, without a moment's pause or interruption in between.

In the oral narrative, Xue Shao deliberately emphasized several times that "the victory of this battle, Shi Wei Xuanzhen, the governor of Xiazhou, made great contributions." Xue Rengui listened quietly and did not interject, just laughed and did not speak.

Each other is a general with troops, and it is not easy to understand it. The soldiers fought desperately on the battlefield, and the civilian officials in the rear who had not even seen the battlefield had to take credit together, which was a common practice in the army -- in the name of it, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory was thousands of miles away.

Of course, the victory of a war is indeed inseparable from the logistics support of the army and the advice of the strategists. But Xue Rengui knew that Wei Xuanzhen was happy in Xiazhou, and he had nothing to do with the Fengzhou army rushing to aid Hebei. The reason why Xue Shao did this was completely selling the emperor's face - this was the family matter of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion and Shuo Fangjun, and every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, so of course Xue Rengui would not interfere too much.

When Xue Shao's oral narrative had just ended, Song Jing immediately finished sorting out this part of the oral narrative and immediately handed it to Xue Shao for reading.

Xue Shao and Xue Rengui were taken aback at the same time, "With such a stroke of the pen, could it be that you already have a draft?" ”

"There is no manuscript under it." Song Jing replied with a blank look.

Xue Shao was surprised to take a look at the draft, except for the places where he interjected, the rest of the text was all coherent and coherent in one go, not like a draft at all, but like a finished official document after many revisions and polishes.

"What a magic pen!" Xue Shao praised endlessly.

"Song Jing, the magic pen, lives up to his name!" Xue Rengui smiled, "Young marshal, such a talent can't be buried!" ”

Xue Shao nodded with a knowing smile, and said in his heart that Xue Rengui is also a person who loves materials, he knows that I have deep roots in the court, and he intends to recommend Song Jing to me, because he wants to find a better way out for him. After all, the errand of "marching management" can only be a springboard, which is good for accumulating experience and honing skills, and cannot be used as a real destination and stage.

Song Jing still sat upright quietly, as if he didn't take the conversation between Xue Shao and Xue Rengui to heart at all, and only said: "Enshuai, I know a lot about the battle situation in Yunzhou, and I have already written a battle report in private. Please also take a look! ”

With that, he handed over a manuscript.

Xue Rengui picked up the manuscript and looked at it, his face immediately turned embarrassed, and he handed it to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao picked it up and looked at it, and smiled bitterly on the spot.

Song Jing's military intelligence is divided into two parts, one part is written about Li Wenji's death in defending Daizhou, which details the process of his family burning himself into a beacon smoke warning, and the words are unusually poignant and tragic, enough to make people cry with righteous indignation.

This part is undoubtedly very well written, but the latter part is not so good.

Song Jing described in detail the capture of Yunzhou by the Turks, the deception of the war and the retreat of the slaughter of the city, and the tragic situation of the various classes after the massacre, and also pointed out that Wu Chengsi should be fully responsible for the fall of Yunzhou.

This will undoubtedly disrupt the duo's plan to "make arsenic|frost and good dung". Moreover, if such a note is given to Wu Chenghe, not only will it not be delivered to the imperial court in the end, but it will also make Wu Chengsi furious and finally break with the front line - the logistics of the front line will still fall on him, and it will be very bad at that time!

"No, you can't write that." Xue Shao said, "The military situation is sparse, and you only need to truthfully report what you have seen and heard, and a single praise and refutation cannot appear in the text." Whoever has merit and who has faults, the court will collect evidence and verify it, and we cannot guide it in vain. ”

"That's right." Xue Rengui nodded, "Song Jing, according to what the young marshal said, rewrite a copy." ”

"The two Mingjian, in the following, are indeed reported according to the truth, without any adulteration and false reporting." Song Jing was unmoved, and bowed his hand and said, "The previous Wu Chengsi ordered to transfer Enshuai and the main force of Daizhou back to Bingzhou, and accompanied him all the way to Wenshui County to worship his ancestors, and nothing else was done. The main force was withdrawn, and the two states of Shuodai were unable to rush to the aid of Yunzhou because of the urgency of the war, and finally led to the fall of Yunzhou. If it weren't for Young Marshal Xue to come to the rescue, I am afraid that the two states of Shuo Dynasty would also fall. Of course, this layer of speculation is not written in the text. But in any case, Wu Chengsi withdrew Enshuai and the main force of Daizhou and abandoned the three states of Yun, Shuo, and Daizhou, and retreated to Taiyuan—all of which are indisputable facts, so why can't they be reported to the imperial court? ”

Xue Shao and Xue Rengui were a little speechless.

Xue Rengui had no choice but to say politely: "Song Jing, it's not that we have to hide it, but there are a lot of interests in it, and it is not that I can say it clearly in a few words." You just have to do what the old man says, you don't have to go into details! ”

"It's not a matter of black and white, how can you be perfunctory?" Song Jing didn't back down at all, and bowed to Zhengse and said, "Yunzhou fell, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. If the truth is not revealed to the world, if the court is not allowed to pursue loyalty, reward meritorious deeds, punish evil officials, and punish criminals, where is the principle of heaven and justice? ”

"You...... Why are you so pedantic? Xue Rengui couldn't laugh or cry a little, "Do you think that the old man is a stupid man who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and doesn't argue loyalty and treachery?" ”

"I don't mean that." Song Jing still did not retreat, his face was full of firm determination, and he said loudly, "But I think that every fact and experience of the war must be truthfully reported to the imperial court!" There is no room for concealment and adulteration! ”

Xue Shao watched the two of them arguing from the side, shaking his head for a while, laughing for a while, crying and laughing like Xue Rengui.

"No need to fight!" Xue Rengui was finally a little annoyed, "You stand down, I'll call someone else to write it!" ”

"If Shuai Enshuai insists on reporting the military situation, he can only write a book on his own and tell the truth to the court!" Song Jing bowed to the ground and arched his hand, "Enshuai has the grace of knowing and supporting him, just like he is a teacher." One day as a teacher and a lifelong father, it is unforgettable! However, he couldn't agree with Enshuai's approach, so he could only resign and go to the capital to reveal the matter to the imperial court! ”

"You! ......" Xue Rengui was really angry now, and suddenly flicked his sleeves, "You have to go, no one will stop you!" ”

"Song Jing, say goodbye to Enshuai!"

Song Jing knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times respectfully, and got up to leave.

Xue Shao suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Come on, take down Song Jing!" ”

Xue Rengui was taken aback, Xue Shao showed it with his eyes, and Xue Rengui didn't move.

Several sergeants rushed in and pushed Song Jing to the ground on the spot.

Xue Shao walked up to Song Jing with an angry face and said, "Song Jing, the old man is so kind to you, but you are revenge, it's really shameful!" The military decree is like a mountain, but you act in disobedience, don't you know that military law is ruthless? ”

Song Jing snorted coldly, "The grace of the handsome is also private; Military intelligence plays, public also. How can Song Jing not distinguish between public and private and distort the facts? ”

"You're so stubborn?!" Xue Shao shouted angrily, "Push it out and cut it!" ”

The sergeants dragged Song Jing out.

"If you want to chop, chop!" Song Jing shouted loudly, "No matter how sharp the knife and axe are, it can't kill justice and heavenly justice!" ”

"It's a pity, but you don't have an iron neck!" Xue Shao shouted, "Take it away!" ”

"Slow! Slow! Slow! When Xue Rengui saw that Xue Shao seemed to be about to move, he was anxious on the spot, "Young marshal, let's detain him first, and then go to the district after the battle is over?" ”

Xue Shao had a stinky face, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Song Jing is the old handsome person, of course the old handsome has the final say!" ”

Xue Rengui understood Xue Shao's meaning, and exhaled in his heart, but his face was also full of anger.

"Put Song Jing in prison and keep it tightly guarded!!"
