Li Yanqing hurriedly walked to the marshal's official room with the map, the master was returned to Taiyuan ten days ago, and after he returned, he began to redraw the preparation plan, and the garrisons of the troops in various places were also revised, and for ten days in a row, he was busy with this matter without sleep or food, and almost all officials, including Li Yanqing, were busy with him.

Li Yanqing walked quickly to the door of the official room, and saw the seed master Dao standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands pondering something, Li Yanqing reminded in a low voice: "Handsome! ”

The seed master Dao was shocked, glanced back at Li Yanqing, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Li joined the army, is there anything wrong?" ”

"There's something important I want to report to the marshal."

"Come in and say!"

Li Yanqing walked into the room and spread out the map on a small table, "Please look at this map!" ”

Seed Master Dao stepped forward and glanced at the map, he had never seen it before, so he asked strangely, "Where did you get this map?" ”

"This is what I found from the confiscated Zhao Yuan materials, and I suspect that part of the information on this map is from Western Xia."

"Why?"

"Do you remember the two hundred Xixia cavalry who ambushed me?"

Seed Master Dao frowned, "Does this have anything to do with them?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "I have always wondered how the two hundred cavalry entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the marshal, please look at this map, which marks the path they took to enter the Song Realm." ”

Seed Master Dao hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, this was also a mystery in his heart, Li Yanqing pointed to a thin red line on the map, "Marshal, please look at this red line, it is actually a secret path, the cavalry can pass through, just from Jialuchuan into the territory of Western Xia, and there is a high mountain valley, we have no garrison." ”

Seed Master Dao was very familiar with this river, and he frowned and said: "But that canyon is at least three miles long, the water is very deep, and the river is turbulent, so there are no cavalry at all, and even boats can't go." ”

"Here's the answer!"

Li Yanqing pointed to the two lines of small characters written next to him, "From March to May, the water is four feet deep, the water flow is slightly slow, you can cross it by horseback, it is frozen in winter, and you can reach Shizhou by walking the river." ”

The Seed Master Dao finally knew where the holes in their defenses were, and it turned out that the Western Xia cavalry took advantage of the seasonal changes of the river to raid into the Song realm.

"Marshal, there is a suggestion from the humble position, can we set up a staff account, with a staff account, we can find a secret passage like Jialuchuan in time, and we can discover the details of Western Xia in time, just rely on the army to fight without behind-the-scenes planning and attack in advance, we will be passive everywhere!"

Seed Master Dao nodded, "Actually, I also know, it's just that there is a lack of talent in this area, people who know a little about military affairs can't read and write, but people who are familiar with the scriptures can only talk about Mencius, and it's okay to talk about morality, saying that military affairs are a group of blind people." ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "The humble position is willing to recommend himself and assist the marshal in establishing a staff account." ”

"You-"

Seed Master Dao suddenly remembered that Li Yanqing was not only able to break through from the tight encirclement of two hundred Xixia cavalry, but also completely annihilated this army, which is definitely the quality of a brave and resourceful famous general, and he is still a Jinshi Tanhua, with such a talent as a military adviser, of course, he can play a great role for himself.

"I'm just afraid you won't be busy."

"As long as the commander sets up three more chiefs to join the army and share the chores of the lowly position, the lowly position will be able to find time to assist the commander."

Seed Master Dao nodded, he originally used Li Yanqing as the main affair to join the army, and to a certain extent, he also wanted to share Zhao Yuan's affairs, so that Zhao Yuan could have the energy to give advice for himself, although Zhao Yuan was only a person, but he was indeed a talent in intelligence analysis, but he was actually a Western Xia spy, and he really gave Seed Master Dao a slap in the face.

Now Li Yanqing is willing to replace Zhao Yuan, of course, he can't ask for it.

The seed master Dao took a few steps and turned around and said, "You can recommend two people to join the army as the chief officer, and I will let Zhou Yan join the army as the chief officer in charge of the army and the judiciary." ”

Zhou Yan is also a young staff member, working under the secretary Cao Qing, and has been following the Seed Master Dao for three years, and the Seed Master Dao found that he was quite capable in military affairs, and was ready to find an opportunity to promote him, just so that he could accept the affairs that Zhao Yuan was responsible for.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "The humble position recommended Zhang Qu, the chief of the soldiers, to join the army as the right chief, and Yan Jiuling, the current chief of the armor, to join the army as the left chief." ”

Seed Master Dao has no opinion on Zhang Qu, although he is young, he is shrewd and capable, and he is a talent that can be created, but Yan Jiuling ......

The seed master is a little embarrassed, this Yan Jiuling has also been wooed by Zhao Yuan!

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Yan Jiuling was co-opted by Zhao Yuan to deal with me, not to be a Western Xia spy, he is not a Western Xia spy, besides, he has sincerely repented, and he feels that he can give him a chance, and he is a twenty-year veteran with rich experience, and he can just help other young people to do it." ”

"Alright! Since you think he is feasible, then I will appoint him to join the army as the left chief. ”

After a pause, the seed master asked again, "Then how do you plan to choose the other staff officers?" ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and asked, "How did the big marshal discover Zhao Yuan's talent back then?" ”

"He was originally an assistant teacher at Yangqu County School, and when I inspected the county school that year, I found that he was very observant, so I hired him as my staff."

"In this case, we can also take the exam in Taiyuan Fuxue, but it is not limited to Fuxue students, openly recruit staff to engage, I believe that we will be able to find a few scholars with outstanding talents, and even strengthen the study of the art of war for half a year, and then slowly exercise in actual combat in the future, I believe they will soon be able to stand out, and there are a few martial arts students, in fact, they can also make good use of it."

Seed Master Dao pondered for a long time, although he was a little worried that the newly recruited scholar would be too angry, but this was also the best way to choose, and it was feasible for martial arts students.

Seed Master Dao nodded, "Since the chief has been appointed to join the army, then you hand it over as soon as possible, and then you are fully responsible for preparing the staff account." ”

After speaking, the cultivator Daoist wrote a military order, and at the same time took out a golden order arrow and handed it to him, "The army is needed to fight the Xixia fine work, and you can select five hundred elite soldiers to form an army under the staff account." ”

Li Yanqing saw that the seed master Dao trusted him so much, he was moved in his heart, and bowed and said: "I thank the marshal for his trust, and I will do my best to serve the marshal." ”

The seed master smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I am nearly seventy years old, I have reached the end of my life, and I can't stay in the military camp for long, and it is also my greatest pleasure to be able to train a young famous general for the Great Song Dynasty in the last years." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, at this time, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to the seed master: "You can recommend a buried famous general to the marshal." ”

"Who is it?"

"Zong Ze, have you heard of it?"

The seed master said with a smile: "My father told me about this person, praised him for his all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he was born as a jinshi, and he is a rare general, but unfortunately the court refuses to use him as a general, and has always let him be a magistrate, he is not young now!" ”

"Zong Ze is ten years younger than the marshal, but he is depressed, he returned to his hometown at the beginning of the year, and now he should be appointed as a vacant post in Tianfu Hongqing Temple, and he will return to his hometown in a few years, and the marshal will use him as a deputy to be in charge of military affairs, and the marshal will have the energy to deploy the army."

Seed Master Dao nodded, "This matter makes me think about it, and if it is really feasible, I will ask the Privy Council as soon as possible." ”

"The marshal should be as soon as possible, and now that the Son of Heaven is asking all provinces and Taiwan to fully support and prepare for the war, the imperial court will not dare to make things difficult, and after this village, there will be no such shop."

The planter smiled, "After this village, there will be no such shop, this sentence is well, okay!" As you said, it's a rare opportunity now, so let's ask someone to come over first, and as for what he should do, I'll talk to him before deciding. ”

Li Yanqing saluted again, "There is another thing, I implore the marshal to agree." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about Zhao Yuan's disposal ......"
