Twenty fierce generals were summoned, and Fusu's wallet was completely empty.

And the quality of this summoning is not very high, except for Xue Rengui, Yang Wenguang and a few others, either the second or fifth boys with a backbone in the back of their heads, or the second- and third-rate generals with relatively low four-dimensional dimensions.

However, there was an unexpected joy, when Yang Wenguang was summoned, he actually brought out the subordinate character Di Qing, a famous marshal of the Northern Song Dynasty who grew up from a low-level soldier.

Because Yang Wenguang's implantation identity is the grandson of the veteran Yang Ye, the son of Yang Yanzhao, who is defending against the Huns in the north of Sanguan, he is only thirteen years old, and because the grade is not enough, he was not selected into the Young Guards and was taken by Fusu to study, so Di Qing's implanted official side is the Yang family's several captains of the family who followed Yang Wenguang.

The four dimensions are 97 for force, 98 for commanders, 85 for intelligence, and 80 for politics.

Di Qing was born in poverty, at the age of 16, because of his brother's fight with the villagers, Di Qing received on behalf of his brother, was "arrested in Beijing, famous and famous", began his military career, proficient in horseback riding and shooting.

In the early days, he was a cavalryman who belonged to the Imperial Horse Straight, and later chose to be scattered. In the early days of Baoyuan, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia rebelled, and the imperial court issued an edict to select guards to the frontier, and appointed Di Qing as the third class messenger, palace attendant and Yanzhou commander.

At that time, the generals on the front line were repeatedly defeated by the Western Xia, and most of the soldiers were afraid and timid, and Di Qing often personally served as the vanguard when he marched and fought. After four years of fighting, he fought 25 battles before and after, and hit as many as eight arrows. Captured Jintangcheng, captured Youzhou, slaughtered the tribes of Luba, Suixiang, Maonu, Shangluo, Qingqi, Jiakou and other tribes, burned tens of thousands of stone of grain stored in Western Xia, seized 2,300 tents, and captured 5,700 people. He also built Qiaozigu City, and built castles such as Zhao'an, Fenglin, Xinqi, and Dalang, all of which stifled the enemy's vital places.

In the battle of Anyuan, he was seriously injured, but when he heard that the Western Xia army had arrived, he rushed forward again, and the soldiers also scrambled and fought hard. When fighting against the enemy, the cloaks were scattered, with copper masks, and in and out of the enemy's army, the Western Xia army was invincible, and no one dared to stop it.

When Yin Zhu was appointed as the judge of the economic strategy, Di Qing asked to see him as an indicator, and Yin Zhu talked to him about military affairs and admired him very much, so he recommended him to Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, and said: "This is the material of a good general." As soon as the two saw Di Qing, they thought he was a genius and treated him with courtesy. Fan Zhongyan taught him to read "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" and said to him: "The general does not know the ancient and modern history, and he only has the courage of a horseman." Di Qing changed his interests from then on, began to read, and finally mastered the art of war of the generals since the Qin and Han dynasties, so he became more famous.

Ji Gong was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Xishang Cabinet Gate, and later promoted to the Qinzhou Assassin History, the deputy head of Jingyuan Road, the deputy envoy of Jinglu Recruitment, and the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Dynasty, and the training envoy of the Huizhou regiment.

Song Renzong wanted to summon Di Qing and ask him about the military plan because of Di Qing's many military exploits, and when the Western Xia invaded Weizhou, he ordered him to draw a military map and send it to him. After Li Yuanhao surrendered to the Western Xia, Di Qing was transferred to the deputy capital of Zhending Road, and successively served as the commander of the guard infantry army in front of the palace, the defense envoy of Meizhou, the deputy commander of the Shengbu Army, and the deputy commander of the Baoda Anyuan Second Army.

Di Qing struggled in the army, and only became noble more than ten years later, when he still had a black scar on his face. Song Renzong once advised Di Qing to apply medicine to get rid of the black scar, Di Qing pointed to his face and said: "Your Majesty promoted the minister according to merit, and did not ask the minister's origin door; The reason why the minister is today is because of these scars, and the minister wants to keep it so that he can encourage the army, and he does not dare to follow your orders. Later, he served as the prefect of Yanzhou as the envoy of the Changhua Military Festival, and was promoted to the deputy envoy of the privy council.

During the reign of Emperor You, the barbarian Nong Zhigao of Guangyuan Prefecture rebelled, captured Yongzhou, and broke through nine states along the river, surrounded the city of Guangzhou, and the area outside the ridge was in turmoil. Yang Jin and other pacification envoys were responsible for dealing with the pacification of the barbarian rebellion, but the Song army did not achieve anything for a long time. He also ordered Sun Wei and Yu Jing to be pacification envoys and lead the official army to crusade against the traitors, but Song Renzong was still not at ease.

Di Qing reported to ask for war, and when he met Song Renzong the next day, he said: "The minister was born as a soldier, and there is nothing to serve the country except to kill the enemy on the battlefield." I hope to bring hundreds of cavalry, plus some forbidden soldiers, to cut off the heads of the traitors and send them back to the capital. ”

Song Renzong admired his bold words, so he appointed him as the envoy of the southern court of Xuanhui and the north and south roads of Xuanfu Jinghu, responsible for dealing with the rebellion in Guangnan, and set up wine in the vertical arch hall to see him off. At that time, Nong Zhigao returned to reoccupy Yongzhou, and Di Qing joined forces with Sun Wei and Yu Jing to enter Pennzhou.

Prior to this, Jiang Kai and Zhang Zhong were both defeated and killed due to the light enemy, and the prestige of the official army declined. Di Qing ordered the generals not to engage the rebels in vain, but to obey his unified command. Chen Shu, the ruler of Guangxi, took advantage of Di Qing's arrival, and led 8,000 infantry to attack the rebels without authorization, and was defeated at Kunlun Pass. Di Qing said: "The inconsistency of orders is the reason for the failure of the troops. In the morning, the generals were gathered to the hall, Chen Shu was arrested, and Yuan Yong and other 30 people were summoned, and according to the crime of defeat and escape, they were beheaded at the military gate. Sun Wei and Yu Jing looked at each other in astonishment, while the generals trembled with fright.

Later, the army stopped advancing and rested for ten days. The scouts reported that they thought the Song army would not attack soon. But Di Qing gathered the army the next day, crossed the Kunlun Pass in one day and night, and set up a formation from Quy Nhon Pu.

After the rebels lost their dangerous positions, they all came out to meet them. The striker Sun Jie fought with the traitors at the bottom of the mountain and died, the morale of the rebels was extremely high, and Sun Wei and the others were so frightened that their faces changed. Di Qing commanded the cavalry with a white flag in his hand, and rushed out from the left and right flanks, out of surprise for the rebels. Defeated the rebels, pursued for 50 miles, beheaded thousands, Nong Zhigao's party Huang Shimi, Nong Jianzhong, Nong Zhizhong and the pseudo-bureaucrats were killed 57 people, more than 500 traitors were captured, Nong Zhigao fled after setting fire to the city at night.

At dawn, Di Qing strictly controlled the troops and drove into Yongzhou City, seized tens of thousands of gold, silver, jade silk, thousands of miscellaneous animals, and recruited 7,200 old and middle-aged people who had been captured and coerced by the rebels, and released and dismissed after being comforted. The heads of Huang Shimi and others were hung under the city of Yongzhou for public display, and the corpses of the rebels were collected to build a Jingguan in the north corner of the city. At that time, there was a golden dragon robe among the corpses of the rebels, and his subordinates said that Nong Zhigao was dead and wanted to report to the imperial court. Di Qing said: "How do you know that this is not a scam? I'd rather say that Nong Zhigao is missing, than dare to deceive the imperial court to covet war exploits. ”

At the beginning, when Di Qing arrived in Yongzhou, he encountered a poisonous miasma here, some people said that the rebels released poison in the upper reaches of the river, and many soldiers died when they drank water, Di Qing was very worried. One night, a spring water gushed out from under the village, and it was taken and drunk, and the taste was sweet, and the troops relied on this to tide over the difficulties.

Later, he was reinstated as the deputy envoy of the privy council, and was promoted to the envoy of the national army and the Yin of the river.
