This fold made Zhao Qi angry so much, it was because there were a few points that he couldn't accept,

The first article mentioned by Shen Kuo said that the mountain roads along the border area are rugged, especially Huanqing Road, Jingyuan Road, and Yanyan Road have to pass through hundreds of miles of Hanhai to reach Xingqing Mansion, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, even if it is the enemy's grain, it is difficult to transport it to Xingqing Mansion, and Shen Kuo is afraid that this westward expedition will be ruined.

Second, Shen Kuo impeached the first general of the deputy governor of Yan Yanludu, who was guilty of defrauding the king, knowing that the grain transfer was difficult, and still went to the fold many times to ask for war, the purpose of which was not to destroy Xia, but just to plot Mizhi, Xiazhou, Yanzhou and other places, attacking the Western Xia troops to advance slowly and avoid fighting without fighting, please let the emperor know,

Article 3: The emperor is requested to immediately order the retreat of the army from all roads, so as to avoid the defeat and loss of the army due to the lack of grain and grass, and then cause turmoil along the border roads in Shaanxi.

This excerpt made Zhao Qi see the military situation report, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road two road armies approaching Xiping Mansion, the other three road armies to attack the territory of Xixia to attack the city and the pride of the city was hit, how not to make Zhao Qi ashamed, he hated himself for how he chose such a courageless person to serve as a side marshal, confused.

Therefore, Zhao Qi's first reaction was to shoot the case and became angry.

However, Zhao Qi is no longer the young man who ascended the throne more than ten years ago, he has evolved a lot, and how many lessons have taught him to control anger and weigh it repeatedly.

First of all, why did Shen Kuo write this excerpt, Shen Kuo is a capable minister, as long as he has always been conscientious and conscientious in the place where he serves, and even has other surprises during his tenure, such as the envoy to Liao, Shen Kuo actually brought back the map of Liaoguo by the way, such as Yu Tian, who can completely record the process of Yu Tian to form a complete method for the imperial court's reference.

So even though this person is often at both ends of the head, has doubtful character, and offends the old and new parties, Zhao Qi still promotes him again and again, and now he is a handsome all the way, so such a bold person who always wonders why a speculative person dares to issue such an excerpt this time, and it is in a secret folding way.

The first thing is that Shen Kuo is indeed courting him, indicating that he will be the emperor's retainer from now on, this is certain, such secret communication cannot be hidden, and when the news comes out in the future, Shen Kuo is an alternative among the scholars, and he will definitely be excluded, so Shen Kuo is a complete surrender this time.

So since he surrendered, he also knew that he definitely didn't like what this excerpt said, so why did this bold Shen Kuo still say this.

Zhao Qi was puzzled, he got up and picked up the steaming tea soup that the waiter had just served, and drank it while pondering.

Zhao Pi walked to the window, a bronze mirror on the windowsill reflected his image, Zhao Pi was surprised to find that his thin cheekbones were more and more protruding, the high-spirited young emperor in the early years was now gray, Zhao Pi stared at the other self in the mirror for a long time speechless,

Recently, Zhao Qi also felt weak, very easy to get tired, always remembered that Renzong and his father Yingzong both died young, as if the Zhao family did not have a long life, and his age was close to the time when they died, is he running out of time, but the military and political government of the Great Song Dynasty is far from straightening out, and he can't collapse yet, otherwise he will definitely lose his efforts.

Zhao Qi packed up his mood and returned to his seat, he thought about it and thought that there was only one reason why Shen Kuo sent this secret fold, Shen Kuo, a fearless ghost, was still protecting himself.

Then why does he protect himself, that is, there is a premise, Shen Kuo really predicts that this battle will be lost, he is protecting himself, and the consequences of offending him, the emperor, are very serious, and he may lose the emperor's heart for a while.

But if it turns out that Shen Kuo is right afterwards, coupled with his surrender, Shen Kuo is sure that he will still be forgiven by the emperor in the future, but if he knows that he will be defeated and does not save himself, then the future sin will be unforgivable, and he will eventually lose the emperor's heart, and all the premises made by Shen Kuo are that this battle will be lost.

Zhao Qi was immediately full of doubts, why did Shen Kuo make such a judgment, could he be able to see the whole picture of the battlefield in Yan Yanlu, how could this be possible, he didn't dare to say that he knew the overall situation, why did he make a judgment on the basis of Shen Kuo, it was strange.

There is an explanation, Shen Kuo, who is in the middle of the war, judges whether this battle is defeated or unwon from various forms, Shen Kuo has an advantage after all, he is behind the war, seeing is believing, so Shen Kuo gave Zhao Qi a big problem, which made Zhao Kuo, who was eagerly looking forward to the destruction of Western Xia by several armies recently, have many doubts in his heart.

As for the lecture on the Three Kingdoms written by Zhang Huan, a student from Yanzhou, mentioned at the end of the excerpt, although Shen Kuo praised it a lot, Zhao Qi didn't pay too much attention to it, if he just followed Zhengshuo's comment based on what Shen Kuo said on weekdays, he would have studied it carefully.

But now, Zhao Qi didn't have that mind at all, because the battle of Vaxia had exhausted his energy.

His final decision was to leave Shen Kuo's excerpt in the middle, although he was skeptical, but he still thought that it was very likely that the Xia Xia would succeed, as for the volumes of the Three Kingdoms attached by Shen Kuo, they were also stored by the small yellow door with the excerpt, maybe they could be found in the future, maybe no one mentioned it would stay in the inner file forever.

However, Zhao Qi still remembered the name of Zhang Huan, a student from Yanzhou, after all, it has not been seen for decades that a good talent can appear among Yanzhou students.

Zhang Huan came to Fang Shan, Fang Shan took out two sets of cotton armor and hung them on the wall, Zhang Huan looked at the overall shape, touched the hardness of the cotton inside and the seams of the iron sheet with his hand, everything was in line with his expectations,

"Yes, this piece of Dayu is very good, a certain is very satisfied, Fang Shan has added three times this month, and others have always made money,"

Zhang Huan immediately rewarded, this is the means of continuous stimulation in later generations, not too much at once, but must be there every time, to maintain a sense of freshness and hunger in order to make the craftsman continue to work carefully.

Zhang Huanyi said that Fang Shan and the others were smiling, but they didn't expect that the new owner had just been here for less than ten days, and the new owner was giving out rewards, the work here was not easy, but it was not trivial earlier, and there were continuous rewards, how could they not be happy.

"Thank you, Childe,"

Fang Shan and the others thanked each other, quite neatly, and the scene was quite warm.

'Okay, no need to be polite,'

Zhang Huan is actually still very proud, and controlling other people's fate, joys, sorrows, and sorrows really satisfies his desire for power.

Zhang Huan ordered the craftsman to wrap the cotton armor on the tree, ordered Fang Shan to use a stone bow to leave thirty steps, shot ten arrows at the two cotton armor, and waited to open the nail leaves, only to see that eight arrows were nailed to the iron sheet and did not penetrate the last cotton armor, and two arrows hit the seam of the iron sheet, breaking the triple protection, one of the arrows is to expose a little bit of arrow tip, and one arrow penetrates deeper, breaking nearly an inch, and it will not kill people.

The cotton armor withstood the test and was strong enough to withstand the blow of a stone bow.

"Next, make forty pieces of daze, and then build thirty spears, fifteen wooden shields, or the same sentence, if you do it quickly and well, you will be rewarded,"

Zhang Huan continued to stimulate these craftsmen.

When the craftsmen heard this, their eyes lit up.
