The legendary army is the best evaluation of the armies of the Han and Tang dynasties. Although the two armies are of different times and have different levels of equipment, one thing is the same: they are well-trained, well-equipped, persevering, advanced in tactics, flexible in tactics, and strong in combat power.

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it has never returned to that level, and these two armies have become a swan song and a legend.

When Song Shenzong was struggling with how to build an army that could fight well, Wu Ji's good news arrived, and Song Shenzong was overjoyed for a while, and he actually gave such a high evaluation.

It is undeniable that the Converts are very powerful, but they are not yet the legendary army. The army of the Han and Tang dynasties was fought one after another, with great martial arts, and the surrender army only fought a battle, showing strong combat power, and had an overwhelming advantage over the Liao army, but it was still far from the army of the Han and Tang dynasties, and there was still a long way to go.

This news is the happiest news in Song Shenzong's life, and it makes him happier than the victory in Xiongzhou. The victory in Xiongzhou is certainly joyful, but it is only a victory, and after this battle is over, no one can say whether it will be able to win next time. The combat strength of the converted army is strong, and it can suppress the leather room army to fight, which is a fundamental solution to the current situation that the Song army's combat strength is not strong, as long as it is said that this army really grows up, not to mention the victory in Xiongzhou, it is not a problem to win several times greater than the victory in Xiongzhou. Moreover, there will be many victories, this is the fundamental way, can Song Shenzong not be happy?

"Huh!" Song Shenzong's eyes widened, and he looked at the good news again and again, with endless charm, as if a pervert was looking at [***] beauties, his face was flushed, and he was overjoyed.

"Official, what are you talking about?" Wang Anshi's curiosity was raised, and he couldn't help but ask.

It stands to reason that Song Shenzong didn't speak, so he couldn't ask him like this, but Song Shenzong's actions made him too curious, and he couldn't ask no more. His question was exactly what Lu Huiqing and Lu Gongzhu were thinking, their eyes widened, they looked at Song Shenzong, and they were calm, hoping that Song Shenzong would give an answer.

"Huh!" Song Shenzong laughed before he could say anything, and there was a long series of laughter, and then he shook the good news in his hand and said, "I tell you a good news, Wu Ji has won the battle again." ”

"Ahh Although this news is happy, it is also surprising, Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Official, I haven't heard that the Liao State has violated the border." ”

"Yes!" Lu Huiqing and Lu Gongzhu couldn't stop nodding, agreeing with this statement.

"The Liao State has not violated the border, which is even more worthy of joy." Song Shenzong's eyes flashed, and he was a little naughty, which showed his joy: "Wu Ji led the army into the Liao realm to fight. You say, in the hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how many people dared to lead the army into the Liao Realm to fight a big war? Isn't that a good thing? ”

The Liao State invaded the border, and the Song Dynasty could only be passively affected; Wu Ji entered the Liao State to fight, it was an active attack, this is the change of the host and the guest, the change of attack and defense, it is definitely a thing worth rejoicing.

"I see." Wang Anshi was stunned.

"The official, the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the mobilization of the army, should be played." Lu Gongzhu thought to himself that the more Wu Ji made contributions, the more unfavorable it would be to their opposition, and he should take this opportunity to convict Wu Ji.

And his mind was vicious, and he listed a big crime for Wu Ji: "Official, Taizu can't let the military generals sit big in view of the lessons of the previous dynasty, so he can use Wen to suppress it." It is a great sin to send troops without will, and I also ask the official to punish Wu Ji's crime. ”

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light on military force, and the dictatorship of military generals was like a thief, as long as the military generals made a slight change, they would be buttoned up with such a big hat, then, the future of the military generals would be gone. Lu Gong's intentions are sinister and too vicious.

Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing's faces changed, if they really wanted to do this, Wu Ji would be finished. It's a pity that a rising star has come to an end.

"Humph!" Song Shenzong snorted coldly and said, "Lu Gongshu, you are so unclear!" Wu Ji didn't want to start a war with the Liao State, he pulled the Guixin army to the Liao border to train, but he didn't expect to meet the Liao army escorting the New Year's coins and had to fight. In this battle, Wu Ji not only defeated the 8,000 Liao army, but also took back all the coins. Ha ha! ”

Zheng Tai knew the situation in the DPRK and China, so naturally he would not say that Wu Ji had the intention to rob the New Year's coins, but only that Wu Ji pulled the team to the territory of the Liao State for training in order to train the Guixin army, and encountered the Liao army who escorted the New Year's coins and had to fight.

In this way, it is impossible to hide it from Song Shenzong, but as long as Song Shenzong has an excuse, he will not cure Wu Ji's crimes. Even if there is no excuse, Song Shenzong will not cure Wu Ji's crime, the reason is very simple, the Conversion Army created by Wu Ji is not an ordinary elite division, it is an elite comparable to the army of the Han and Tang Dynasties, if Wu Ji's crime is cured, it is to self-destruct the Great Wall, and Song Shenzong will never do this.

Besides, Wu Ji is just a new star, and he has no foundation, let alone any power, so he will not pose a threat to the throne of Song Shenzong at all. Not only is there no threat, but it is of great help, and Song Shenzong will not cure Wu Ji's crime no matter what.

"Got the New Year's coins back?" Lu Huiqing was surprised. The matter of the New Year's coins has been going on for decades, and many people want to get the New Year's coins back, but no one dares, Wu Ji actually took the New Year's coins back, how amazing it is.

"Official, how many troops did Wu Ji use to defeat the eight thousand Liao army?" Although Wang Anshi was surprised to get the New Year's coins back, he was more concerned about a major issue.

"Oh! It's not defeat, it's total annihilation. Wu Ji only used 2,500 troops. Song Shenzong looked at the good news, and said happily: "Among the eight thousand Liao army, there are one thousand leather room army ......."

"Leather Chamber Army?" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu were taken aback. They know the prestige of the Leather Room Army, the Liao State actually dispatched the Leather Room Army, and the Returning Army has encountered a hard idea, and the casualties must be not small: "Official, is the Returning Army suffering heavy casualties?" ”

This is what Lu Gong asked, and then said: "This Wu Ji, so bold, dares to be such a child's play, he must be punished!" Be sure to punish the crime! ”

"Lu Gongzhu, why are you so unaccustomed to Wu Ji? My words have not yet spoken. Song Shenzong's face sank and he snorted lightly.

When Lu Gong heard it in his ears, it was like a thunderbolt, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Of the 446 converts who were killed in battle and lost their fighting strength, more than 100 and 200 were slightly wounded, and the rest were not injured. But they completely annihilated 8,000 Liao troops, including 1,000 leather room army, which is the leather room army! Song Shenzong's voice suddenly turned high, and it was very shrill and piercing: "The leather room army rushed in front of the Returning Army, and it was crippled and lost its combat power!" The Conversion Army is my Han Army and Tang Army, and its combat power is amazing! ”

"Impossible!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu exclaimed in unison, with a look of disbelief.

The Liao army is notorious, the Song army is not strong, and it will be defeated as soon as it encounters the Liao army, and at such a small price, 8,000 Liao troops will be annihilated, not to mention that there are 1,000 leather room troops among them, Wang Anshi and the three of them will not believe it anyway.

"You guys can't believe it, huh? I couldn't believe it, but I had to. Jiefu, look at whose handwriting it is. Song Shenzong handed the good news to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi took the good news in his hand and looked at it, and said loudly: "It's his!" He said that there must be such a thing! Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family! The Great Song Dynasty finally has an elite army comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties! ”

"Huh!" Song Shenzong was very happy, and happily accepted Wang Anshi's congratulations, and said: "This matter is gratifying, but there are also many problems. Yelu Hongji will definitely send someone to ask about the crime, for this matter, Da Song will not admit it, and he will fight with Yelu Hongji. Speaking of playing tricks, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are good at this, let them play tricks well. By the way, let out the rumors that this was done by Qi Yunshe. ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Song Shenzong's eyes, and he paused slightly, and said: "The Conversion Army has been initially trained, and its tactics, training, and battlefield experience will not be perfected, and it still needs to be honed more. Therefore, I decided to let Wu Ji act cheaply and ask him to polish the Conversion Army even more sharply. ”

This is very reasonable, because an army's tactics and training methods need to be tested on the battlefield, and it is impossible to perfect them just because of a single victory. Song Shenzong's granting of arbitrary power to Wu Ji was an incomparably wise move.

"This ......" Wang Anshi and the three of them were shocked. The Song Dynasty had a very strict control over military generals, and when the generals went to war, the emperor would grant the formation map and carry out remote control. Even Wang Shao doesn't have the power to act cheaply, Song Shenzong actually gave such power to Wu Ji, what a trust.

The most shocking thing was that Lu Gong was about to refute, only to listen to Song Shenzong, and said: "This matter, I have made up my mind!" The matter of converting to the army is the top secret of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is a leak, the nine clans will be punished! ”

Although the Converts Army has shown strong combat power, it is still only a prototype, and there is still a long way to go to truly form combat power and crisscross the battlefield. Song Shenzong listed the Returning Army as the top secret, which was to protect the Returning Army well, which was an extremely wise move.

"The military orders of the Great Song Dynasty are rigid, not flexible enough, mutually controlled, and involved too much, in order to make Wu Ji better train his troops, I decided that Wu Ji would pay tribute directly to me, and there was no need to go through the Privy Council." Song Shenzong's words were even more surprising, and he even asked Wu Ji to play directly to him: "Whatever Wu Ji wants, I will give him." ”

Wu Ji not only has the power to act cheaply, but also has the power to reach the heavens, which is amazing, Lu Gongzhu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak. At this time, it is opposed, it is a touch of mold.

"Then pass the decree and transfer 2,500 Shaanzhou elites to Wu Ji, let Wu Ji lead and train strictly." Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows, and another decree came down.

"The official family wants Wu Ji to train more elite soldiers, and he can transfer more." Lu Huiqing understood what Song Shenzong meant, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Nope! The Converts Army has just begun to grow, and there are still many problems to be solved. If you adjust it too much, it's a bad thing. Song Shenzong is also an understanding person: "Wu Ji, I hope you can train an elite army, and I will find you a chance to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den." ”
