Three hundred and five take the initiative
Li Buqi followed his own request in the recital, and at the same time that the brigade left Yanmen Pass, he only waited for the guards to be silent all the way, and rushed to Tokyo as soon as possible. The speed of 40 kilometers to 60 kilometers a day, the distance from Yanmen Pass to Tokyo is 700 kilometers, and it is expected to walk half a month to reach Tokyo. Along the way, Li Buqi also checked the inns set up by the Fu'an Dart Bureau along the way from Bingzhou to Tokyo.
Now in addition to opening up more and more dart roads, the Fu'an Dart Bureau has also greatly increased the number of people and goods transported each time, so it began to acquire real estate along the official road and set up its own chain inn for the rest of the team and merchants. What Li Buqi saw was that because the Fu'an chain inn along the dart road was cleaner and more comfortable than ordinary inns, and even individual customers passing by tried their best to stay in the chain store. This made Li Buqi feel good.
But before he arrived in Zezhou, people sent by Zhang Yingniang came in a hurry and stopped Li Buqi on the road and handed him a letter. This must be an urgent matter, Li Buqi immediately opened the letter and looked at it, Yao Gang's letter mentioned one thing, but these days, the newspaper "Emperor Song Zhengyi" supervised by Guozi has repeatedly advocated that Li Buqi is the only brave general who can defeat the Liao army today, if he is allowed to guard the border pass, it will make the Liao people dare not look south, and Li Buqi has put on a few high hats. In recent days, the ministers of the DPRK and China have written to Li Buqi to guard the three passes. Yao Gang estimated that this matter was related to the rumors that the emperor intended to let Li Buqi enter the Hanlin Academy a few days ago.
Yao Gang is Mr. Yao arranged by Li Buqi for the rest of the children, he is a talent on Hedong Road, who prides himself on being chivalrous and righteous, and does not like to fill in words and endowments, but prefers vertical and horizontal techniques. After rushing to pass the exam, he felt that it was hopeless to be admitted to the Jinshi, so he mixed in the hook column in Tokyo to tell stories, and also went back and forth to the gate of the prince to be a clear guest, observing the characters in the capital, and wanted to find a master to follow, so as to fulfill the ambition of Lingyun.
Later, Li did not give up recruiting a storyteller who could write reviews, so he recruited him. After the two talked a few times, Li Buqi saw that he was indeed talented, and he knew all the stories of ancient and modern times and the history of this dynasty, so he invited him into his scene. Yao Gang felt that Li Buqi's views on many things were very consistent with his own, and some of his insights were more profound, and he should be the person he was looking for, so he readily agreed. So Yao Gang and Zhu Changsheng, who took the initiative to throw themselves under Li Buqi's door, gradually became Li Buqi's central henchmen. This time, Li Buqi set out to let Yao and Zhu keep an eye on the movements of the court, and immediately notify him of any troubles.
In the letter, Yao Gang estimated that someone wanted to prevent Li Buqi from entering the academy and wanted to kick Li Buqi into the ranks of military attachΓ©s.
This method is poisonous! According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, military attachΓ©s were not allowed to participate in the discussion of state affairs, and once Li Buqi was appointed as a military attachΓ©, he would only have to work and listen to the shouts from now on. If you don't agree to become a military attachΓ©, where are you putting the safety of the country, the trust of the emperor, and the expectations of the people? Then your morals are questionable!
Yao Gang saw the danger and reminded Li Buqi to deal with it carefully, and he would also advocate Di Qing, Guo Kui, Zhang Kang and others in the "Business Daily" and the newly issued "Current Affairs News" of Qingyuan Academy, in order to cover up the light of Li Buqi's "famous general".
After reading the letter, Li Buqi quietly folded the letter, put it in his arms, and said to the person who sent the letter: "Thank you for your hard work." You must go back at once, and tell the woman that I know about it, so that she may not worry. β
The messenger of the letter received the order, and Li did not abandon it and only continued to move forward at the original speed. Guozijian advocates for himself, it's really rare, let them help him toss for a while.

Ouchi Takeeiden.
As soon as Li Buqi returned to Tokyo, he was summoned by Zhao Zhen at the Wuying Palace. This summoning place seems to imply that the emperor has already had a direction for Li Buqi's next use.
The emperor asked Li Buqi in detail how to cut off the grain route of the Liao army at the mouth of the Great Wall, and how he ran around the Xijin Mansion to Shanxi, and when he heard the tension, he couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat, and even Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji were dumbfounded. Only when Li Buqi talked about driving the Liao people to attack the city under the city of Zhuozhou, the emperor and the ministers were full of disapproval, but later he talked about the thrilling place where Li Buqi led the army to pass by the Liao army from Xijin Mansion, and that paragraph was ignored.
After Li Buqi finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said: "Don't abandon is really my Great Song Dynasty's Fei General." β
Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this immortal general." β
Li Buqi immediately stopped Wen Yanbo's words: "Wen Xiang can't say that. This 'flying general', the lower official dares to say that he can be worthy of it for the time being, but this 'unborn famous general', the lower official can't deserve it. β
The Emperor asked, "Why is that?" β
Li Buqi said: "This time, the minister ran more than 1,000 miles in a few days, and the fastest time he ran nearly 300 miles in one day. The famous generals of this dynasty in the past do not seem to be faster than the ministers, so the honor of the 'flying general', the ministers can live in tranquility for the time being. β
"But this 'unborn famous general', the minister does not dare to admit it. Not to mention the famous generals of this dynasty in the past, only to say that now, the army is strictly organized, and the enemy is broken with a dignified array, and the ministers are not as good as Di Qing, Guo Kui, and Zhang Kang. is a formation, and the ministers are not as good as Yang Shiqing. Therefore, the minister had said before the war that the minister could only command 5,000 people, and no more. How can there be an 'unborn general' who can only command 5,000 people? β
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhongzheng doesn't have to be too modest. Pang Ji looked at Wen Yanbo and did not speak.
Li Buqi said solemnly: "The lower officials are not modest. In fact, there are only two ways to make contributions this time, one is to rely on intelligence, understand the reality of the Liao army, and naturally criticize the hypocrisy, kill the enemy and break the army, but there is not much damage to itself. β
Li Buqi turned to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, have you ever noticed that the minister has never fought the Liao army head-on along the way. What the minister did was just to rush forward all the way, so that the Liao people couldn't figure out where our army was, and they couldn't catch up and intercept it. This is the importance of intelligence, knowing where the Liao army is weak, knowing the road situation, knowing how to get the resources of the Liao State, and then using the arrogance of the Liao people, everything is in the calculation of the minister. There are brave generals like Ge and Yang Shiqing under the ministers, how can they be invincible? It can be seen that intelligence is the guarantee of winning the war. β
"The Privy Council relies most on intelligence to direct operations, but now this information is collected by the Police Department and then handed over to the Privy Council, which is an additional formality that will inevitably delay the military situation. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to set up a direct department or a military intelligence bureau under the Privy Council, which is responsible for collecting, compiling, and disseminating information on enemy countries, and in the future, the police department will be responsible for the affairs of our Great Song Dynasty. The Police Department has initially established a network of detailed work in Liao, Xia, and Dali, which can be handed over to the Privy Council. The Privy Council had not previously manipulated the matter, and the Police Division could send someone to assist. β
Pang Ji's eyes flashed, and when he turned his head, he saw that Liang Shi and Song Zhen were also looking at him. Everyone had a little abacus in their hearts for a while, and they crackled.
Before this war, the Police Department had obtained a lot of information about the Liao Army, especially the distribution of the Liao Army, which made the Privy Council feel a lot more relaxed when arranging troops. The Privy Council is not without knowledge, seeing Li Buqi wandering thousands of miles in the territory of Liao, if he enters a no-man's land, he guesses that it is thorough information, so that Li Buqi dares to give it a go. Therefore, they are all interested in the intelligence department of the police department, and many people have suggested to Pang Ji that the intelligence department of the police department be transferred.
Pang Ji also knew that it was not so easy to get intelligence, and it was best to dig up the people from the police department, but he knew that Li Buqi was a master who would repay him, so he wanted to try it slowly. These days, Wen Yanbo took the rhythm and wanted to make Li Buqi into a military attache and put him in Hebei, but Pang Ji still wanted to wait for Li Buqi to leave before starting. Unexpectedly, Li Buqi actually took the initiative to assign the part of collecting intelligence abroad to the Privy Council, but this is a pie-in-the-sky thing.
But what is Li Buqi's intention in taking the initiative to bring up this matter now? Pang Ji was a little uncertain. He thought: The intelligence department of the police department was established by Li Buqi, could it be that Li Buqi wanted to take the opportunity to extend his hand to the Privy Council?
Obviously, Liang Shi and Song Zhen don't seem to be at ease.
Li Buqi looked at the eyes of several people, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Hmph, you want to mess with me?" It's better to keep an eye on your own turf! β
