Chapter 66: Failed Acquisition
"Father-in-law, you don't agree with what your son-in-law says! Maybe there are some ministers in the court who are like you think, but the saints of today will definitely not! Xu Qing refuted his father-in-law for the first time.
"That's it! It is! Li Qiangrose also expressed her undisciplined support for her husband.
Li Shibin shook his head slightly: "There are no outsiders here, and the father will say something out of line, the saint may be well disguised in front of you today, but it is definitely not the case in my heart, I have dealt with those officials in the frontier for my father all my life, and I know them too well, even if my father is now the inspector of this Jinming capital, and he has a heavy army, they don't really take his father seriously!" ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law, you said that the situation of those frontier chiefs is also recognized by the son-in-law. However, the son-in-law believes that the emperor is not like this, and if you have the opportunity to meet the emperor, you will feel this way. Take the son-in-law as an example, more than ten years ago, the son-in-law was called the hero of the green forest, and you also know what the status of our people is. However, the current emperor was still the crown prince at that time, and when he was less than ten years old, he began to form a field army, and he also ate, lived and trained with us martial artists, and until he ascended the throne later, he often came back to visit us and care about our food and accommodation. It can be said that if you go to Qilinwei, which is the original field army, you can pull a soldier out at random and let him die for the emperor without a frown, and the son-in-law is no exception! ”
Li Shibin: "Today's holy rumors, my father has heard a little, let's not talk about these today, my father is just complaining, don't care!" As a father, I just feel that I finally have this opportunity now, should I send troops to help? One is to reflect the loyalty of my Jinming Eighteen Villages, and the other is to support the two of you to save face, after all, you are both on an errand by the emperor's side, if you don't express your father's disappointment, right? ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law is noble! No wonder the saints have never seen you and said that you are my great Song loyal general, and you have contributed a lot to the stability of the frontier over the years! ”
"Did the saint really mention the old man?" Li Shibin asked with some surprise.
Li Qiangrose: "Dad, the prime minister didn't fool you, the emperor praised your daughter when she was there, and the queen gave her a gift for this!" ”
Li Shibin: "In that case. The old man can't let you come to anything, Xianxu, you just say, what do you want my department to do this time, and I promise to fight wherever I want! ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law." You really misunderstood this time, the Holy Lord definitely didn't mean to ask you to take the initiative! Of course, the Holy One does not mean to look down on you. It's just that you also know that in this battle, you will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. However, our field army has been reorganized and reorganized. It can greatly reduce the proportion of battle losses, take last year as an example, we fought with the Liao State in Sanguan, and our army lost less than 5,000, but it destroyed nearly 100,000 elites of the Liao army, plus tens of thousands of prisoners. Of course, there is also the credit of the city wall, but it is enough to show the strength of the Holy Lord to build a new type of army! ”
Li Shibin: "Xianxu, tell your father the truth, is this made up by the imperial court to fool people." Although he has never fought any big battles as a father, he has also experienced a lot of small battles, which is simply impossible! ”
Xu Qing: "But that's true!" In the eyes of the son-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that the new army was too nervous to participate in the big war for the first time, resulting in abnormal performance, the losses would have been smaller! Speaking of this, the son-in-law also lost several jars of good wine! ”
"Oh!" Li Shibin smiled: "What's the story here?" ”
Xu Qing: "You also know that the full name of my son-in-law's unit is the Great Song Dynasty Royal Mountain Special Combat Team, and there is another one called the Royal Special Combat Team on the Sanguan battlefield, so I made a bet with us to see who performed well." As a result, 100 of them killed the heavy grain and grass protected by a thousand-strong team of the Liao army unscathed, which led to the chaotic deployment of the Liao army that attacked our Sikou Pass at that time. ”
Li Shibin: "Why do you hear your father say so mysterious?" To put it mildly, Song Jun has no virtue as a father, but he is a clear man. You say it's incredible! ”
Xu Qing: "What my father said is very true! This is also the reason why the Holy Lord wants to carry out a large-scale reorganization of the army. Anyway, the security forces are adapting it, so you have to be interested in seeing it for yourself. Another meaning of the saint's son-in-law is to see if you are interested in participating in the adaptation? ”
"Oh!" Li Shibin suddenly realized: "I feel that you are planning to do this today!" As you know, the father can have today's little status, because there are still some people in the hands of the father. Don't you know that this reorganized army is still the father's? ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law, son-in-law also told the truth, the attitude of the saint is very clear, anyone who wants status, must contribute to the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is in military affairs or other aspects." However, the army is the umbrella of the state and is not allowed to be privatized.
Moreover, the generals of the reorganized new army will determine the candidates for new generals according to their performance in the reorganization process and in accordance with the strict evaluation and evaluation methods set by the Holy Lord, and finally they will have to enter Beijing to study at the Army Academy founded by the Holy Emperor himself, and only after passing the assessment can they be formally appointed. Take the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, which have now been reorganized, there are a total of 9 first-level commanders, most of whom have climbed up step by step from the bottom, and very few of their original generals are still in their positions.
Therefore, the son-in-law may wish to tell you directly, if you also agree to participate, then you must let the eldest brother behave well, the son-in-law believes that it should not be a big problem to fight a military-level command with his ability! ”
"In this way, these horses can't be saved for the father!" Li Shibin sighed: "I wonder if the Holy One can reveal what the consequences will be if his father does not agree?" ”
Xu Qing: "I didn't say this, but the saint asked the son-in-law to bring you a sentence, and the saint said: 'This is a big era, and it is also an era full of choices, opportunities are everywhere, and a choice determines his achievements!'" ’”
Li Shibin knew that his daughter and son-in-law came back at this time, and he must be beating his own attention, thinking that he was just letting himself bleed, for his baby daughter, and for the unpleasant Li Yuanhao, this is no problem, but I didn't expect people to want to swallow it!
He was silent for a long time before he asked leisurely: "If, for the father is to say if, if the father is not obedient, how much will it cost the one in the capital to destroy my Jinming Eighteen Villages?" ”
This issue was a little heavy to discuss, and Xu Qing also put away his smile and stared at his father-in-law's eyes tightly. Li Qiangrose was also frowning beside her. After a stalemate for a cup of tea, Xu Qingcai said slowly: "Father-in-law, if the son-in-law says that he will not lose a soldier or a soldier, do you believe it?" ”
Li Shibin's eyes gradually became sharp, but he said lightly: "Could this be the purpose of your existence?" ”
Xu Qing: "The son-in-law won't hide it from you." This is indeed one of the operational goals of our special combat team, but it is by no means the pursuit of the Holy One, what the Holy One pursues is the best strategy of the soldiers who surrender without a fight! I don't know if my father-in-law has heard that there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day under Yijin at the beginning? ”
Li Shibin: "I've heard of it! It was rumored that the Liao State intended to attack Yijin Pass, but God couldn't stand it. Sent down the divine thunder to chop the cavalry of the Liao army to the back, which led to the large-scale rout of the Liao army. ”
Xu Qing: "Don't you know how you should deal with those 'thunders' if they are split here?" ”
"This ......" Li Shibin was speechless, this God wants to thunder, how can people control it...... Yes! What does this baby mean when she says this?
Could it be that there are really immortals and big cows in the Song Kingdom, who can call the wind and rain, that's amazing, let's just think that ordinary people still play with others!
But. If you want to let go of this family business obediently, to be honest, I am really unwilling!
Li Shibin sent a flute for a while, and didn't wake up until his daughter stabbed him a few times, and then smiled apologetically at Xu Qing and said: "This matter is very important, because my father can't answer immediately, I still need to discuss it with other village owners." However, the Father can tell you clearly that if there is any use in this war, let your commander-in-chief command do so. I Jinming Eighteen Villages all obey! It's not too early now, and my father called the other village owners over, and I have to deal with it. You haven't been back in years, so stay there for a while! ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law." Your kind son-in-law understands it, but this time he is on official business, and he has to go back to restore his life, so let Rose live at home for a while, and then come over to drink with you when his son-in-law is empty! ”
Li Shibin: "It's okay! If you have something to do, the Father will not leave you. Go early and come back early! ”
After Xu Qing left, Li Shibin took his daughter towards the living room, and happened to meet his son Li Huaibao who also walked towards them.
Li Huaibao opened his mouth and asked, "Father, sister, why didn't you see your brother-in-law?" ”
Li Shibin: "Oh, your brother-in-law is a soldier, and now he is very busy in this special period, and he has just returned to the barracks." By the way, your sister is going to go home for a while, you can arrange it! ”
"My brother-in-law is really, I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't say I have a drink when I come, I still want to compare with him a few more times to see if there has been any progress in the past few years!" Li Huaibao muttered.
Li Shibin: "Okay! Just a few times when you don't go to him to offer ugliness, read more military books or something, don't know how to dance knives and guns all day long. Also, your brother-in-law is at the security force station, so you have nothing to do to see more. ”
"Oh! The child knows. Li Huaibao shrugged his head to deal with his father, but when he saw his sister next to him, his eyes lit up again, and he said with a wicked smile: "Brother's baby sister, I want to kill my brother!" Come and hug! ”
"Humph!" Li Qiangrose tilted her face to the side and said arrogantly, "Who wants to hug you!" Be careful, I tell my sister-in-law to pump you! ”
Li Huaibao smiled: "Yo! If you find a husband, you don't want a brother! Come on, come on, go with my brother, and my brother will show you the gifts that have been prepared for you over the years. That's what my brother collected all over Hengshan, but it's precious, you pick it up and give it to your mother-in-law's family, and you can't let your brother-in-law and their family look down on our sister, right? ”
Subsequently, Li Huaibao took his sister to collect his harvest for a few years, and Li Shibin went to discuss the war with the group of small village owners, who expressed strong support for the self-preservation-based strategy proposed by Zhi Weizheng. Although this part of their party members expressed dissatisfaction with Li Yuanhao as the boss, there was still a little bit of a mental obstacle for them to fight with Li Yuanhao, since Zhi Weizheng was so empathetic, of course it was a happy thing, so the strategic intention of Jinming Eighteen Villages was quickly agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Qing also returned to the security army camp and went to see Zhi Weizheng without resting.
At this time, Zhi Weizheng was checking the sand table of Hengshan terrain that had just been completed, and discussing the military arrangements with the surrounding staff officers, when he saw Xu Qing coming in, he led him to the side, and asked without waiting for him to say hello: "How is the situation?" ”
Xu Qing shook his head: "The subordinates failed to complete the task, and the father-in-law was a little hesitant, saying that he had to think about it!" ”
Zhi Weizheng sighed: "This is also reasonable, although they are superficially attached to my Great Song Dynasty, but after all, they are used to playing alone, and those ministers have no interest in them, in line with the principle that they don't make trouble and don't care, people are used to it." The saint also had the idea of giving it a try, if they could obediently hand over their rights, it would be the best, even if they didn't hand it over now, as long as they didn't make trouble, the envoy wouldn't bother to care about them. It's just a pity! ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Xu Qing said with some excitement: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't take them under the knife!" ”
"Don't be impatient!" Zhi Weizheng comforted: "It's not what you think! It's just that from the content of the saint's private message, the envoy can see that the saint seems to be very interested in your father-in-law, and the implication is that the envoy wants to try his best to preserve their power, don't you think it's a pity that such a good opportunity was missed?
