"Absolutely not! Du Wen said in a loud voice! "I'm the one who is fighting for it this time. Generalissimo, I have no right to hand over the lives of 50,000 soldiers to you at will! The battle plan for the battalion step by step was decided by the ruling council, and it was the empress dowager's will, and the whole army must obey it! No change is allowed! I'm going to be ugly ahead of anyone who dares to violate this battle plan. When the time comes, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless, and do it according to military law! ”

The Song Dynasty paid attention to the "general from the middle of the emperor" major battle plan by the Zaizhi Council after the study, reported to the emperor for approval, handed over to the commander to implement, this is a general practice, Lu Gongzhu to make his own decisions to formulate the battle plan, obviously unrealistic, so although he was so angry that he blew his beard, but did not dare to insist.

Seeing that he was no longer angry, Du Wenhao also suppressed his anger, slowed down and said: "Just now I have explained in detail the combat idea of step-by-step operation, this is just an idea, you have reached the front line." It can be appropriately adapted according to the local situation at that time, but any flexibility must be carried out around the idea of taking the battalion step by step, and it is absolutely not allowed to divide the troops to advance, nor is it allowed to pursue the enemy out of the range of our army's bow and crossbow, and those who violate the order, regardless of whether they have made meritorious contributions or not, will be beheaded! It's iron discipline! The commanders of the battalions and armies violated this ban. You can rectify the Fa on the spot and follow suit! If you violate this article, this general will use the Empress Dowager's sword to enforce military law! The military order is like a mountain, and don't ignore it if you look at the three! ”

Qu Zhen and Li Xian both bowed down and agreed. Lu Gong didn't move, he was still sitting there blowing his beard and sulking.

Du Wenhao had already made his words clear, and when he saw him like this, he was still not at ease, and said to Qu Zhen: "General Qu, the Empress Dowager has authorized you to oppose the specific battle plan, if you think the plan is inappropriate, you must resolutely perform your duties and report to me for decision." Don't be afraid to offend people. If you want to be a good man, there will be countless soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed in vain! Do you understand? ”

"The last general obeys!" Qu Zhen bowed respectfully.

When the public author heard that Du Wenhao's words were obviously aimed at him, Tie Qing blushed and did not speak.

Du Wenhao glanced at Li Xian, who had been silent: "Li Jianjun, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Xian hurriedly laughed and said: "This is determined by the Zai Deacon." If the Empress Dowager is willing, we should naturally resolutely implement it. It's just that what Master Lu said also has a certain truth, facing the enemy in battle, the ever-changing changes are too rigid in the advance battle plan, and it is easy to delay the fighter. ”

Du Wenhao waved his hand and said loudly: "It is better to delay the fighter than to be greedy for merit!" We must carry out the battle plan step by step to the letter. As for the specific deployment of troops, how to meet the enemy when the enemy is coming, you can make your own decisions according to the battle, I only have one request, you can put the enemy in to fight, but you must not stand out to fight! The degree to which the battlewall is advancing forward should be appropriate. To ensure that it is safe, to cooperate with each other, to be slow rather than chaotic! This is the essence of the idea of step-by-step! As a prisoner, you must also be truly responsible. Supervise the effective implementation of the battle plan. ”

Li Xian laughed dryly. He arched his hand and said, "We understand." ”

Du Wenhao said again: "This time, 50,000 soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, and we must remember that we must be real, and many troops are seriously short of personnel, so if we transfer troops according to the number." It may not reach 50,000 people, and then we will not be able to achieve the superiority of our army in terms of strength. ”

Qu Zhen and Li Xian hurriedly agreed.

Du Wenhao glanced at Lu Gongzhu, who was still blowing his beard angrily, and asked coldly: "Lord Lu." Did you hear what General Ben just said? ”

Du Wenhao is the generalissimo of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he is also the commander, and Lu Gongzhu wants to obey his dispatch, so he arches his hand with a gloomy face: "I understand." ”

"That's good. Stand down, and when you're ready, pull it out as soon as possible. ”

The three of them then took their leave and left.

After the three of them left, Du Wenhao also went out and returned home, brought gifts, and took the escort team to visit Tianbo Yang Mansion behind the imperial city.

The mansion given to him by Gao Tao is next to Tianbo Yang Mansion, and on the other side is Xiang Wangjia's Prime Minister's Mansion. Du Wenhao stopped at the door of his mansion first, and took a general look, and it was indeed magnificent, the largest and most magnificent of the three mansions. After all, it was originally intended for the prince to live. The main building inside has been completely completed, and only some decoration and cleaning and aftermath work remains.

Du Wenhao didn't have time to take a closer look. Riding a horse to the gate of Tianbo Yang's Mansion.

This mansion is smaller than its own, though. But I also think that it can be regarded as one of the best wealthy mansions in the capital.

Du Wenhao handed over the greeting post, and soon, the door of the mansion was opened, and a pale old man, supported by two servants, greeted the door. The porter made an introduction, and Du Wenhao knew that this white old man was Yang Chuanyong, the eldest son of Yang Yanzhao.

Until then, to avoid jokes. is different from the fiction in the storytelling TV series, Du Wenhao re-understands the true situation of Yang Jiajiang. knows that the seven Yang Jiye among the generals of the Yang family, and Yang Yanzhao, the sixth of the sons, is actually the eldest son in history, that is, the eldest lang. Yang Jiye died in battle, and after that, the imperial court posthumously named him a lieutenant. And hereditary. The position of Tai Lieutenant of the Northern Song Dynasty is one of the sixty military ranks! This Yang Chuanyong is Yang Wenguang's own brother, the eldest son in the family, and inherits the title of grandfather Yang Ye.

Du Wenhao, as the chief executive, inspected the three yas, and visited the door, so Yang Chuanyong personally went out to greet him.

Yang Chuanyong welcomed Du Wenhao and others into the main hall, took their seats, and after some politeness, Du Wenhao arched his hand and said: "Taiwei Yang may have heard that the Empress Dowager appointed me as the envoy of the Western Expedition to the Western Xia. But I have only been leading the army for a short time, and I am really afraid. for fear of disappointing the emperor. Since I was a child, I have listened to the story of the Yang family's loyal service to the country and the bloody battle. Marriage in the heart. Today, I took the liberty to visit, and I asked for advice on how to govern the army, and I asked the captain not to hesitate to join the sixth, and say it, get up and salute.

Yang Chuanyong hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "Don't dare to be." The general was too modest. "After sitting down. Brushing his snow-white beard and groaning for a moment, he arched his hand and said: "It's not a secret, although the old man came out of the Yang Gate and inherited the title, he only liked poetry and did not study it since he was a child, and led the army to fight." They are all husband and wife of Wenguang. Since the general is not ashamed to ask, he should tell him. It's a pity that the third brother Wenguang is no longer there, but the younger siblings are still there. When the old man sent someone to invite her out. She has been fighting with Wenguang for many years, and she can also be said to be a leader or two.

Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "Thank you so much!" ”

Yang Chuanyong instructed the housekeeper on the side to invite. After a while, a middle-aged woman entered. I saw that she had a jade snail on her head, Luo Qiwen on her body, her face was like a crown of jade, and her eyes were like a star. Wearing a long skirt, fluttering like a light cloud. Come over and salute: "Concubine Murong Guiying, I've seen the general!" ”

Du Wenhao was surprised and delighted: "Mu Guiying? Are you Mu Guiying? ”

Mu Guiying said: "Yes." Mu Guiying is my Chinese name, which was taken by my husband, I am a Xianbei clan, and my surname is Murong

Mu Guiying in the Yang family is Yang Zongbao's wife, and Yang Zongbao does not have this person in history, it is pure fiction, many of Yang Zongbao's stories are actually Yang Wenguang's deeds, Yang Zongbao's wife Mu Hangying. In fact, it is Yang Wenguang's wife, Murong Guiying. Historical records record that "Yang Wenguang married Murong and was good at fighting." ”

Du Wenhao said happily: "Mu Guiying is in charge!" Haha, so you're still alive? Phew! I'm sorry, I'm happy to say the wrong thing, please forgive me, I've heard of the name for a long time, and I heard that you can fight well. Back then, he also captured your husband when he was fighting against the enemy. Right? ”

Mu Guiying smiled and said, "The general is well-read and strong, and even knows this." ”

Mu Guiying is a Xianbei Wang clan, since childhood practice sword and horse kung fu, the famous teacher instructed, Yang Wenguang led the west to conquer the Western Xia, Mu Guiying's family was subordinate to the Western Xia at that time, but also coordinated to fight against the Song army, and Yang Wenguang when the confrontation, Yang Wenguang new love, the two fought, Mu Hangying captured Yang Wenguang alive, confided in the cottage, the two were determined for life, Mu Guiying led the troops to return to Yang Wenguang, and then followed her husband to fight with the Western Xia for many years. Until the husband died of illness.

Du Wenhao's story was heard from the Yang family general. I can't think of it. hurriedly gave up his hand: "I can have Mrs. Yang to teach." I have the bottom in my heart. ”

"The general is polite. The general led the troops to win more with less, and completely annihilated the Tibetan army, and he was a person who was good at managing the army, otherwise he would never have achieved such good results. The concubine still needs to ask the general for advice

Du Wenhao scratched his head and smiled: "It's not a secret." I was suspected of trickery in that battle, and I recommended the enemy army, so that the enemy army was exhausted, and then I won

Mu Guiying smiled and praised: "Know yourself and know your opponent, avoid its edge." Cleverly drugged, this is the real skill. If it is won in a hard-fought and bloody battle, there is nothing admirable about it

"Hearing you say that, I admire myself a little."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and each sat down, Du Wenhao first asked some examples of battles with the Western Xia in those years, especially the combat characteristics of the Western Xia army.

After a while, he returned to the strategy of governing the army that Du Wenhao wanted to know most: "The Empress Dowager is very dissatisfied with the current situation of our army, and ordered me to rectify it. But I have not been in contact with the army for a long time, and I also feel through some of the fur I know that our army has a deep carbuncle. There are many problems, but I can't figure it out for a while, so I come to the door to ask for advice, and I want to take a shortcut. And how should the army be governed? Mu Guiying was no longer polite and thought about it. Said: "Our army has carbuncles, and the concubine and the clumsy husband have discussed it many times. I was also deeply touched. Since the general inquired, the concubine told the truth. ”

Du Wenhao was overjoyed and said, "Hao listens."

Mu Guiying gushed endlessly, telling Du Wenhao her all-round and multi-level perception of the Song Army in the more than ten years of war with Yang Wenguang.

It can really be said that listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, and many of the things that Du Wenhao heard from Mu Guiying this morning about the Song Army are unheard of. Mu Guiying not only talked about the many defects on the surface of the Song army, but also further analyzed the reasons for the problems of the Song army, and also put forward some ideas for reform.

At noon, the Yang family held a banquet to entertain them, and Du Wenhao wanted to ask more questions, so he stayed. Continue to talk with Mu Guiying at the wine table.

At the banquet, Du Wenhao raised his glass to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and toast Mu Hangying: "Mrs. Yang, Hao is another reluctant request, can Mrs. put on a robe and take command again and go to Western Xia?" ”

Mu Jiaoying shook his head gloomily and said: "Thank you for the general's trust, in the past, the clumsy husband was alive, and the concubine followed the clumsy husband to fight, but now the clumsy husband has died of illness, and the concubine is a woman, so it is really inconvenient to wear it into battle." Please also ask the great general Haihan

Du Wenhao thought about it, and said: "The Yang family's marksmanship is very powerful. I wonder if it will be a clip? However, you can capture the Yang generals alive, and your kung fu is higher than theirs, so you don't need to learn their marksmanship. Hey hey"

"The Yang family gun is indeed outstanding, and the humble man has taught me a full set of marksmanship."

"Really? It's a pity, if only I could learn this set of marksmanship, although I have a concubine who is very strong in martial arts. But sword and horse kung fu is not good, I am trying to find a master in this area, and a master of the art of war; Just teach me the art of war by the way. I wonder if Mrs. has any good candidates to recommend? ”

He looked at Mu Hangying with anticipation, hoping that she would agree to teach him sword and horse kung fu and the art of war.

Mu Guiying smiled and said: "Why should Xiner be willing to seek the near and far, there is a ready-made candidate for Bu Jia in the general's Jiajia, Ah An※

"Who?"

"The general is about to marry a new daughter-in-law who has passed through the door. Prime Minister Wang's daughter, Wang Runxue, the first beauty in the capital! ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "How can Mrs. make this kind of joke, Runxue is everyone's best girl, if she writes a good calligraphy and paints a good picture, I believe it, I see with my own eyes that her boudoir is full of all kinds of exquisite calligraphy and paintings of the four treasures of the study." But said that she knows how to do kung fu. I don't believe it, even if I embroider my legs, I'm afraid I haven't learned it. ”

Du Wenhao said so surely, it was because he used to be with Wang Runxue Wushan**, thinking about the snow skin, orchid jade fingers, how to dance with guns and sticks?

Mu Guiying smiled: "If the general doesn't believe it." When she passed the door, she would find out when she asked.

Du Wenhao saw that she didn't look like a joke, and said in disbelief: "She really knows kung fu?" ”

"Well, the general may not know, our two families are next to each other, and she often came to our house to play when she was a child, and when she saw a group of children in our house dancing with guns and sticks, she shouted to follow along. I just wanted to teach her some physical fitness, but who would have thought that she was talented and intelligent. I have the ability to never forget, and I learned the kung fu I taught at most twice. Maybe she's so well-behaved. It's very similar to when I was a child, and it reminds me of my childhood, so I have a special relationship with her, although I haven't apprenticed to her. But I carefully dialed it, I have the ability, and she has learned a **. It's just a matter of tempering. ”

Du Wenhao was surprised and delighted, and looked Mu Guiying up and down, thinking that this Mu Jiaoying also looked like a person with fine skin and tender meat, and he was not like a person who danced with a gun and a stick. Who knows, but it turns out to be a famous towel-to-smoke hero? It's really unseemly. It turns out that her future second lady is still a female general, and she is from the Yang Sect's female general Mu Guiying, haha, she really has nowhere to find it when she breaks through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Hahaha

Du Wenhao was overjoyed and asked, "Your Yang family's gun is also passed on to outsiders?" ”

"Of course, marksmanship is used to kill the enemy, and the clumsy man has taught the essence of this marksmanship to the commanders before, as long as he wants to learn, he never hides his selfishness

"I see! What about the art of war? ”

"The art of war is not a problem, she is talented and intelligent, she has never forgotten, she is already familiar with the military books in my house, and she often hears us talk about some examples of conquests, but she has never really been on the battlefield, in the final analysis, it is only on paper, steel is a good piece of steel, it depends on how the general polishes.

"Great! In the future, I will lead the army to conquer Western Xia, and I will definitely take her by my side, so that she will become a towel-to-cigarette hero like my wife! ”

"That's nature!"

After learning the news unexpectedly, Du Wenhao was really excited, after the banquet, he said goodbye and left Tianbo Yang Mansion, and wanted to go to Prime Minister Wang's house to visit the future lady through the wine, but stopped in front of the door, the new daughter-in-law who has not passed the door can not see her husband, besides, he still has a lot of things to do now, what Mu Guiying said. Absolutely, yes. It's never too late to ask after the door.

Du Wenhao entered the palace and came to the Ruisi Palace where the emperor lived. asked the chamberlain, but the emperor was in Zishantang.

Zishantang is a place for the emperor to study, and it seems that this little emperor has really worked hard, and he doesn't even take a lunch break at noon.

Du Wenhao happily came to Zishantang, and when the net reached the door, a waiter in charge of serving said in a loud voice: "Oops! General Du, you're here! I'm here to see the emperor's homework, right? The emperor is studying hard in it! ”

Du Wenhao glared and said, "What are you yelling about?" I'm going to be deafened by you! Du Wenhao stepped into the Zishan Hall, walked through the patio, and came to the main hall on the north side.

The door was closed, Du Wenhao raised his hand to push the door open, and saw that the four children in the room were each holding a book, looking at it intently. Mr. Zhao Yanruo was sitting there with his head down, looking at Du Wenhao and stopping. At this moment, I heard the soft cricket of crickets in the house. Du Wenhao frowned, slowly walked to Song Zhezong's side with his hands behind his back, glanced at it, and asked, "Your Majesty, what book are you reading?"

"On Chiang!"

"The emperor's book seems to be reversed!"

"Really? Hehe" Song Zhezong looked up at Du Wenhao. The hippie smiley face came over with the book, "Lian just finished reading "The Mean" and was about to read "The Analects", and you came, so I took it backwards, hehe, "Huh! How is it the other way around? Song Zhezong will be in his hand: "Lian didn't take it back just now!" ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "Your Majesty." You weren't even looking at it just now, I just blackmailed you

"Mr. Du! Do you dare to tease Lian?! ”

Du Jianhao ignored him, abandoned his hand and walked to Zhao Ying, the fat prince of the Nine Emperors: "Well, your book didn't take it back, but the tong under your desk crawled out of the jar." ”

"Oops my smoke". Zhao still threw away the book. Bend down and look for your feet under the table. Seeing that the cricket jar sandwiched between the feet was well covered with a lid, the cricket did not crawl out.

Du Wenhao smiled and walked to the front stage. said: "You can rest for an hour after lunch at noon, this is the system, it's not yet the time to go to school in the afternoon, you want to play and play, there is no need to pretend to show me that you love to learn, I want your real results, not your cheating." Do you understand? ”

The princess breathed a sigh of relief, and put what was in her hand: "It's all the emperor's brother's bad idea," hum! What are you doing with these? ”

Song Zhezong was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. will see us playing and say that we are coming."
