"What do you want to say?"

Song Jiu almost couldn't answer.

This time it is Cao Bin as the head coach, but can it be said that Zhao Kuangyi used the wrong person?

First of all, the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty, Pan Meiping and the Southern Han Dynasty were almost perfect battles, but the treasury palace of the Southern Han Dynasty burned down together after the most Lu, which became a big shortage.

Cao Bin leveled the Southern Tang Dynasty, grinding and grinding, if there was no Pan Mei's assistance, Liu Yu and Wang Ming narrowly won at the mouth of the Anhui River, and I don't know what the result would be after the most difficult road.

However, how many people pay attention to the process?

Both Pan and Cao were favored by Zhao Kuangyin, but because of the relationship between the Chai family, Zhao Kuangyi would be more at ease with Cao Bin, and now with himself, Pan Mei can only stay in Taiyuan forever. Could it be that all one Weng and one son-in-law are prime ministers?

Pan Mei was suppressed by Zhao Kuangyi in the battle of Gaoliang River and performed poorly, so she could only become the second coach.

In fact, this time Zhao Kuangyi's use of generals and commanders has also been carefully considered, such as Pan Meijiu in Taiyuan, the Western Route Army is to be fast, quickly occupy several states behind the mountain, and join the Eastern Route Army. Tian Chongjin and Pan Mei's use of troops is characterized by speed, and the Eastern Route Army is to drag the enemy, not so fast, so it is also suitable for Cao Bin's style of using troops.

Moreover, several main generals must not only be able to fight, but also have the ability to suppress the generals below, except for Cao Bin, Cui Yanjin, Mi Xin, Tian Chongjin and Pan Mei, can anyone else do it? Could it be that Yang Ye is more suitable than them? Ha Luha, that would be a big joke.

However, Song Jiu knew that this time the employment was actually a big joke!

But let Song Jiu say, even if he is not afraid of offending Cao Bin, who can he recommend to be handsome? This is the chief general, not a partial general, or Yang Yanzhao as the commander. Something big can happen, too. In fact, there was a candidate in his mind, but he thought that the opponent was Yelu Huge. can't do it, besides, can he convince Zhao Kuangyi?

That's Cui Yanjin.

As for the others. Song Jiuzhen can't say it, isn't Wang Yu good? Look at what he has done in the northwest, he can be civil and martial, why do you say that he is not good?

So he said: "Your Majesty, soldiers, the life and death of the country is also a major matter." In this Northern Expedition, two of the generals who survived since Taizu and the new generals who were promoted since His Majesty entered the army. Not to mention the soldiers. Almost all the soldiers who have been on the battlefield many times and passed the test of life and death must be selected among them, and it can be said that they are ninety percent of the elite of our soldiers. Therefore, even if this battle cannot be won, it cannot be defeated, but the minister is very worried when he sees that he is taking it lightly. Although the ministers are not as good as General Cao, they have been in Beirong for a long time, and they are more familiar with the north, or they can make up for General Cao's omissions. Increase your chance of victory. ”

"Song Qing, don't say more, you are a civil official......"

"Your Majesty, the minister is a civil official. He is also a privy envoy. ”

"Xifu is still inseparable from Qing."

"The minister was in Xifu for several years, including when he was in Dongfu before, and reformed the military system. Check the quality of the armor and improve the armor. The front line is tuntian, and the northwest is stabilized. Remote control Liaodong Tatar, some did it right, some did it wrong, but what was done was for this moment. At the same time, the minister also wanted to inspect with the army and further supplement and improve. A strong country must be both civil and military, and our dynasty can restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties. Moreover, Yichen believes that restoring the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties is only a small step. Why, there are so many experiences in previous lives and so many history books, which are completely for us to learn from. We are standing on the shoulders of giants, so why can't we do better? ”

Anyway, you have to live with the army.

Guo Shouwen was depressed, you dignified Prime Minister of Xifu, what kind of prison is you fighting with me?

After fighting, Zhao Kuangyi had no choice, and finally agreed.

But it wasn't that Song Jiu could win a big victory when he entered the Eastern Route Army, the main reason for this period of history was that he couldn't remember it clearly, the only thing he remembered was that Cao Bin was shamefully frightened and fled, resulting in a fiasco. How can this help him?

It can only be said that what made Song Jiu feel lucky was to solve Li Jiqian before Yongxi's Northern Expedition.

Otherwise he will not be able to sleep at night.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the country's vitality will also be greatly damaged, can it still use troops to the northwest?

Song Jiu returned to Xifu and looked at the map carefully.

The most embarrassed smiled bitterly, what can you see by looking at the map? A person's success in using the army is first, one is to hone, the second is to prepare, and the third is also talent. In addition to those poor golden fingers, as well as some knowledge of later generations, what talent does he have in the cold weapon war.

But before that, Song Jiu had one more thing to do, he went to Ouchi to meet Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi still kept him and said: "Qing advised me not to go to the front line, why did Qing put himself in danger. Qing is talented, but I haven't used it yet. If Qing regretted it, I issued an edict to let Qing stay in Beijing. ”

"Your Majesty, the country has a lot of talents, if Zhang Qixian, a little sharpening, will be a qualified prime minister of Xifu in the future. If Lu Mengzheng is right, he will be the pillar of the country in the future. Another example is Xin Zhongfu, Wang Ming, Xu Zhongxuan, Zhou Wei, Jia Huangzhong, all of them are first-class ministers under His Majesty, and Lu Duan, who is ignored by His Majesty. In the middle of the retreat, Kou Zhun, Wang Dan, Song Xiang and others sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. It doesn't matter if the young minister is alone, but he can't let His Majesty have another accident. ”

"Lu Duan?"

"Your Majesty, the minister will tell Your Majesty one thing." Song Jiu told Lu Duanken about him more than ten years ago. He also said: "At that time, the minister thought about Guan Jian and thought that Lu Duan was a god. ”

"You are not simple, Zhao Chengzong didn't see it, but you saw it."

"The minister was out of the matter at the time, so he could see it clearly, but Zhao Chengzong was in the game. This big fat man is unimaginably wise. ”

"Then why did he get to this point?"

"Temperament also. If he had learned from other ministers and would do anything for his official position, he would have come up a long time ago. ”

"Qing also has integrity." Zhao Kuangyi is not strange, it is true that compared with Song Jiu, Lu Duan and others, Song Qi and other Zai Fu are less characteristic, and Zhao Kuangyi praised instead.

"What kind of integrity does the minister have, but he slightly guards the thin bottom line behind the most reluctant."

Zhao Kuangyi generally.

Song Jiu really wants to go to the front line, in addition to worrying about his safety, Zhao Kuangyi does not exclude it, at least in the military, Song Jiu has shown excellent foresight many times, and he is also careful in his work. Even he had a dream in his heart, if he succeeded in taking Youzhou, he had to be able to govern it. It's like Song Jiu asked Zhang Qixian to go to the front line. At first, Zhang Qixian failed to play much of a role, but with the war, he was pushed to the ancient Great Wall. Zhang Qixian's role in the rear was revealed. If you take Youzhou, you will rule the world. Song Jiu will undoubtedly be the first-class minister of the Song Dynasty. Even in Zhao Kuangyi's heart, there is no other minister who can surpass Song Jiu in terms of local governance ability.

Moreover, Song Jiu's spirit of not wanting to die made Zhao Kuangyi very appreciative, and said: "What is important is the atmospheric festival!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't boast anymore, the minister's bones are still the same gentleman in the past. However, the minister came to ask His Majesty to grant permission to the minister. ”

"Say it."

"After the minister came to Xifu, he was not very familiar with the generals on the front line, so he would like to implore His Majesty to transfer Yang Ye and his son to the minister's account."

Zhao Kuangyi smiled, he thought that Song Jiu was quite virtuous, and Yang Ye also had integrity. This is a "smell of similarity", so he attaches great importance to Yang Ye, and said: "Although Yang Ye is good, but without Yang Ye, the Western Route Army will lack a capable deputy general." ”

"Li Jilong can replace him."

"Although Li Jilong is brave, he has little qualifications and is difficult to convince the public."

If this sentence is placed in the future generations, it will make many people curse to death, but it is indeed true. Li Jilong fought bravely from Hebei to Hedong to Northwest China, and even in the Meishan area before, but he did not lead many subordinates. Most of them participated in various battles as deputies, including the Battle of Mancheng under the command of Ercui Zhang Yanhan, and Hedong under the command of Pan Mei. The northwest is under Wang Yu. Let him replace Yang Ye, it is indeed difficult to convince the public.

"Then the minister recommends one more person. The head of the Ma Bu army is Wang Hanzhong. ”

"Wang Hanzhong is a brave general."

"Also, in the Northwest Campaign. Zhang Zhaoyun, Wang Chao, and Dai Xing all performed well, and His Majesty was not called this time, so they could be transferred to the Western Route Army, and the five of them should arrive at Yang Ye's father and son. ”

"Zhang Zhaoyun?"

"You can't use your own likes and dislikes to push people to employ people, just like Tang Taizong used Wei Zheng, so the minister recommended Lu Duan to His Majesty, and then pushed Zhang Zhaoyun."

He is the object of Pan Li'er's proposal in the past, Song Jiu's rival, but the war is okay.

"Why don't you take these men under your tent?"

"The clothes are not as good as the new, and the people are not as good as the old, although these five tiger generals are all outstanding generals, but the minister is not very familiar with them, and the minister is a civil official, so he will feel relieved to put Yang Ye by his side."

This is not the case, no matter how dirty Wang Yu's mind is, does he dare to move his uncle Li Jilong? Don't talk about Li Jilong, even if Wang Hanzhong has been famous for a long time, Wang Yu may not dare to move.

Song Jiu still didn't know much about Li Jilong, but according to his past achievements, Song Jiu faintly felt that Li Jilong's military ability was no less than Yang Ye. Just one Li Jilong is enough. Moreover, Li Jilong's range of activities is relatively wide, from Hebei to Hedong to Northwest, and he is no stranger to the terrain of Hedong.

This is not the appointment of the main general, and Zhao Kuangyi didn't care much, just asked: "If that's the case, Yang Ye will have grievances in his heart." ”

Yang Ye can be the deputy general of the Western Route Army, that is because the Western Route Army has fewer soldiers and horses, and the Eastern Route Army is Cui Yanjin, no matter what, Yang Ye is not as good as Cui Yanjin, so it is impossible to serve as the second deputy marshal. If you put it on the East Road, you can only be an ordinary general.

Song Jiu replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, the minister will communicate with Yang Ye, if this mentality can't be let go, he shouldn't be the same as His Majesty of the day." ”

"So be it."

"Your Majesty."

In fact, the problem is not very serious, Li Jilong's military talent is actually far better than Yang Ye, in the Northern Expedition in history, because Li Jilong has very little military power in his hands, he did not give full play to his ability.

In terms of personal combat effectiveness, Yang Ye is indeed a brave general, and when he was captured in history, he killed more than 100 people. However, in terms of personal force among the generals of the Song Dynasty, it was not Yang Ye, but another person, who was in the middle route army...... However, Song Jiu didn't pay much attention.

However, after Song Jiu's toss, there may be no legend of the Yang family general in history, and at most he will be as famous as Li Jilong and others in the future.

But for Yang Ye, he should be happy about this situation. Moreover, Yang Ye is not dead, and his deterrent significance is far greater than his actual military ability. However, it is not easy to say that the Eastern Route Army is more dangerous in this three-way army, and that is Yelu Hugo!

Song Jiu returned home.

Pan Li'er and Miao Niang didn't care too much, although there was danger, no one would have thought that they might be defeated, Song Jiu was a civil official, staying in the rear, and the danger was very small.

She just sighed silently and said softly: "Back then, your father didn't want you to go to the front line because of the danger of the battlefield, so he asked you to study poetry hard. Although you did not gain fame, you received the weight of two majestys from another study, and succeeded in becoming a civil official. But over the years, you have been on the front line every time you go to Lingnan and Liaodong. ”

"Youyun takes it back, and I will resign."

"The official wants to resign? The official is still young, alas. The lady said.

"I'm not used to intrigue in officialdom, if you take back Yanyun and become famous, when will you retreat?"

Song Jiu's words are half-true and half-true.

It is true that the intrigue in the officialdom makes him unaccustomed to it, but if he really wants to retreat, will Zhao Kuangyi agree?

Pan Li'er knocked her head and said, "It's not your business, don't worry about giving birth to a son for the official." ”

However, Song Jiu suspected that the lady might not be able to raise a child because of her petite body.

Pan Li'er said silently again: "Official, be careful. ”

Zhao Kuangyi hosted a banquet for the generals in the palace and said to Cao Bin: "Cao Qing, I quit you some time ago, and if you are full of eagles, you will fly, and it is for Qing today." ”

When the eagle is full, it can't fly, so it has to work hungry.

That's why I've dismissed you.

This reason......

However, Zhao Kuangyi was also afraid, mainly because of the Eastern Route Army, afraid that Cao Bin would be angry because of the previous resignation and would not contribute to the work. So words of comfort.

The three armies set off and embarked on an uncertain journey. (To be continued......)
