In terms of leading troops to fight, Song Jiu may not be as good as the cannon Cui Han. However, Song Jiu believed that under the drive of his golden finger, the Song army should become stronger than in history.

As for how much stronger, this is not easy to say, but Song Jiu will not think that it is strong enough to change the situation of the battle, in fact, compared to the improvement of combat effectiveness, Song Jiu pays more attention to the cost of raising soldiers. Therefore, this kind of self-confidence of the whole country made Song Jiu very worried.

Return to Xifu.

Song Jiu put down the official document, thought about it for a long time, and then gave an order to let Yang Yanzhao be transferred back from Liaodong.

Dang Jin, Li Hanqiong and other famous generals have passed away, Pan Mei, Cui Yanjin and other famous generals are old, as for the new generation of Song Jiu, he is optimistic about a few people, Wang Chengmei and Zhe Yuqing, but they are all party members, and they can't leave Fuzhou and Fengzhou. There is another one, Li Jilong, but he is the uncle of the country, this identity makes Song Jiu a little taboo, Hugh wants to underestimate his relatives, and the Eastern Han Dynasty just let this uncle pit one by one.

Therefore, Song Jiu also plans to start training the next generation of generals.

But after thinking about it, I don't know who to use, so I still use the Yang general......

But at this time, Zhao Kuangyi was even younger.

It turned out that there was a scholar in Jianzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, named Yang Huizhi. He did a strange thing, he was not in the Southern Tang Imperial Examination, but he ran to the Imperial Examination in the next week. After he was hit by the Jinshi, he was reused, and he did a brave deed, asking Chai Rong to kill Zhao Kuangyin.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he was furious and was about to kill Yang Huizhi, Zhao Kuangyi said, this person is a loyal minister and cannot be killed. Zhao Kuangzhen was not killed, but as Song Jiu thought, whether it was Zhao Da or Zhao Er, they all had the spirit of a small family, lacking the courage and mind of Li Shimin, and they did not imagine that they would use Yang Huizhi like Li Shimin did to Wei Zheng. Therefore, Yang Huizhi was degraded to a small county, and he did it for more than ten years. It wasn't until Zhao Kuangyi ascended the throne that Yang Huizhi saw the light of day again.

This person is also a famous minister, at least in the eyes of Song Jiu, he is the top 30 Wenchen in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Huizhi has a nephew named Yang Yi.

It is rumored that this Yang Yi can compose poems at the age of seven, Zhao Kuangyi became interested, and sent Jiangnan to send Zhang to China to try Yang Yi's talent, and then sent it to the capital for a retest.

Zhao Kuangyi was very happy. asked the eunuch Wang Renrui to send Yang Yi to the Zhongshu and listen to the prime minister's fate. Song Qi and others understood it, so they came up with a poem title of "Poems of the Joy of the Dynasty and Jingque", and asked Yang Yi to compose a poem.

Yang Yi only thought about a cup of tea. Then he wrote a five-character poem:

Seven Fujian waves are misty, and the two are angry.

Xiaodeng Yunwailing. Crossing the moon at night.

May it be a festival of loyalty. Lifelong pilgrimage.

The first four sentences are poetic, especially the three or four sentences, and the five or six sentences make a big slap on the back of the monarch and ministers.

Maybe it's not too good, but considering his age and this kind of big occasion, he would definitely not be able to change Song Jiu at the age of eleven anyway.

The prime ministers praised one after another.

So Zhao Kuangyi recorded the prodigy Yang Yi as a jinshi. Then he was awarded the title of secretary of the general Shilang Shou provincial orthography. The general Shilang is a rank official, and the secretary of the province is a professional official, and there is no bad official, so he will continue to study with his official position.

But it's also an eleven-year-old official.

The news is out. I don't know how many officials have mixed feelings in their hearts.

But what is even more strange is that Yang Huizhi himself is not interested in his nephew, on the contrary, he has always been critical of Zhao Kuangyi's use of article talent as the criterion for recruiting officials and reusing officials, but he agrees with Song Jiu's point of view.

Therefore, Yang Huizhi was not only unhappy about the eleven-year-old Jinshi this time, but on the contrary had a negative attitude. And among his relatives, he is not optimistic about Yang Yi, but his nephew Song Shou.

In fact, these two people were both famous ministers of the later generation of the Song Dynasty, and they were famous for their integrity literature.

Song Shou, Lu Zongdao, Cai Qi and others were all famous ministers in the Heavenly Sage Era, and it was they who assisted and created the rule of the Heavenly Sage. However, Yang Yi is also not bad, he is a famous minister of Song Zhenzong.

Compared with Yang Yi, Yan Shu, another prodigy of the Song Dynasty, may be better than Yang Yi in terms of talent, but he is far inferior to Yang Yi in politics.

In this regard, Song Jiu was noncommittal, he seemed to have heard the name Yang Yi, but like Li Jilong, he didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't even tell the difference between Li Jilong, the hero of the tiger fight, and Li Jilong, the son of Li Chuyun.

It is better to care about this prodigy than to care about another person.

Kou Zhun was mixed up with the county for several years, and was finally promoted to the palace of Chengtong and sentenced to Yunzhou. Compared with Lu Mengzheng and them, it is not too fast. But it wasn't too slow, it only took him five years to go from an ordinary student to a general judge of a large state.

Before Kou Zhun left, Song Jiu invited him to Xifu.

Kou Zhun was inexplicable.

Song Jiu took out a stack of poems, Xiao Kou's poems were written very well, and many singers sang them, which also allowed Song Jiu to collect some.

Kou Zhun was still puzzled.

Song Jiu said: "Pingzhong, I will also send you a poem." ”

"I don't dare." Kou Zhun said nervously.

A few immortals came out of Song Jiu's hands, but after the immortals were finished, Song Jiu no longer wrote poems and lyrics, including Zhao Kuangyi asked the ministers to write poems, but Song Jiu didn't write them.

Zhao Kuangyi was helpless, including him, thinking that Song Jiu was doing this to justify his name.

Song Jiu said: "It's okay. ”

So I wrote a poem:

Drinking tea in Yuehai has not forgotten, Suoju Yuzhou Ye Zhenghuang.

Thirty-one years back to the old country, read the chapter in the falling flowers.

The complaint is too strong to prevent the intestines from breaking, and the scenery should be long-sighted.

The water of Modao Kunming Pond is shallow, and the fish viewing is better than the Fuchun River.

Kou Zhun is very puzzled, the place name does not conflict, at this time Guangdong and Yue are universal, more guide to the sea, Fuchun River is called Fuchun Zhu, it is not difficult to understand.

However, even together, Kou Zhun said that he couldn't understand it, why was it thirty-one years, he thought carefully, wouldn't thirty-one years ago be the year when Chai Rong was the emperor? So what does it mean to read Huazhang in the season of thirty-one years when the old country is still in the old country?

Including a few other sentences, he couldn't understand it.

Song Jiu said again: "Ping Zhong, I heard that some people say that I am Fang Du, this one doesn't dare to boast, but it can also be called barely qualified." ”

"Song Gong is a pillar of the country, and he wants to be famous."

"Pingzhong, I don't like other people's flattery, maybe you find out some shortcomings of this official, and this official still likes it. Don't mention the names of the pillars. But I just want to say one thing. You are quick to think and have achievements in politics, but you must remember your official words and have a good mentality. ”

Kou Zhun understood, this refers to the many complaining sentences in his poems.

"When the emperor was the first, the official was only idle at home for a long time, and Guangnan was dismissed again, but the official never complained. It's useless to complain, do your job well, and the opportunity will naturally come at any time. ”

"Follow the teachings."

"I wish you a smooth journey. Go ahead. ”

Kou Zhun excitedly took this song that he couldn't understand and withdrew from Xifu.

Song Jiu smiled in the back, Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian, as well as the big fat man Lu Duan, and this future Xiaokou, showed their goodwill. Then the future of your own road will be bright

……

Li Jiqian went around countless circles in the desert, and finally gained a firm foothold in Huangyangping again.

That's when he had another chance.

Tuoba wanted to lead the ministry to move inward. The Song dynasty did not agree. Song Jiu was not involved in this matter. Even if he participated, he might not agree to it, no matter what Tuoba Yu thought, once the tribe moved inward, it would make the tribes think about it, and there would definitely be unnecessary riots.

But this made Tuoba Yu dissatisfied. began to make trouble in Yinzhou, but was beaten by Liang Zhen and fled in all directions, running into the mountains and not daring to come out. At this time, when he heard the news of Li Jiqian, he sent someone to contact Li Jiqian. I want to cooperate with the outside and win Yinzhou in one fell swoop.

Li Jiqian was a little undecided, of course he wanted to take Yinzhou, but he was defeated in several battles, and he was also scared in his heart. Therefore, after discussing with Zhang Pu and others, Zhang Pu offered a plan.

Cao Guangshi was in Yinzhou City at this time.

Will be harmonious, the world will prosper.

There will be discord, and the country's politics will be chaotic.

Zhao Kuangyi may be thinking about the art of balance, or maybe he is a promise to Zhao Pu. However, in fact, the discord between the East and the West is not beneficial to the country.

Including Northwest Military and Political Affairs.

According to Song Jiu's idea, Li Jiqian must be cut and rooted.

However, although Song Qi was the main battle faction, he strictly implemented Zhao Pu's policy towards Li Jiqianzhi, focusing on Zhao'an.

For various reasons, Song Jiu did not have a good convincing power, the complex and vast terrain of the Nanhetao, and the softness of the Song Dynasty's ethnic policy, Song Qi's ideas were recognized by most ministers.

This affects decision-making at the front, but the idea of recruiting an also has the upper hand on the front.

At this moment, Li Jiqian suddenly sent an envoy to Cao Guangshi to apologize.

Cao Guangshi was overjoyed when he heard this, it is true that he was greedy for merit at this time, if he succeeded in surrendering before Yin Xian, this credit would be his. And he never thought that there was such a "tenacious" warrior in the world. Li Jiqian was defeated once and again, probably because he was defeated by officers and soldiers.

Therefore, after letting his nephew Cao Keming Palace, he led more than 100 people to Huangyangping's Jialuchuan to surrender.

When I arrived at Jialuchuan, there were many troops on Pingchuan, and in front were Li Jiqian, Li Jichong, Li Daxin, Po Chou Chongyugui, Zhang Pu and others, who were waiting for him together. Cao Guangshi smiled, and was about to slap his horse and whip up, come to the front of the army, and say good words to appease Li Jiqian, when suddenly thousands of arrows were fired on the low hills on both sides.

A generation of famous generals, Cao Guangshi, a rare minister of both civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty, died in this valley. Fortunately, his nephew Cao Keming arrived in time and snatched his body back.

Cao Guangshi died, and Li Jiqian stripped off the armor of the Song soldiers and calmly entered Yinzhou City.

This was great news for Xia Yin's northern support for Li Jiqian's various tribes, and all the tribes came to defect. In just a few days, Li Jiqian's strength swelled rapidly.

Li Daxin suggested that Li Jiqian proclaim himself king of Xiping.

Zhang Pu said: "Since Xiazhou has entered the Hajj, there is no reincarnation of territory, and now it is a state, and I am afraid of being obedient." It is advisable to set up officials and appoint posts first, so as to determine the dignity and humility, pre-sign the chieftains, and the prefectures and counties, so that people can fight for themselves, then China is tired of preparation, and I have to do my best to the west. ”

Afterwards, Song Jiu was shocked when he heard this, because he thought of the later nine-character scripture, building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king.

"It's my heart," Li Jiqian obeyed, still saying that the original official positions were all known to be the envoys, and after the power was determined to be difficult to stay, Zhang Pu and Liu Renqian were respectively on the left and right, Li Daxin and Po Chou Chongyugui were the commanders of the Fan Department, Li Guanghu, Li Guangyun and others were the regimental training envoys, and the younger brother Li Yanxin was the marching Sima. And respectively in advance sealed the party Xiang Hao chieftain folded the Eighth Army, folded Luo Yu, Wei Xiba, folded Yu Yu and others, respectively sealed and annexed the state, Daizhou, Linzhou, Fengzhou and other states to assassinate the history.

This policy made many tribes return, so that Yin Xian was afraid of its edge and did not dare to send troops to Yinzhou, so he had to report the matter to the imperial court.

Zhao Kuangyi was shocked.

More important than ever, Silver State is now more important.

The first is to block the wool trade route, one is from Lingzhou to Xiazhou, and then to Yinzhou, from Fulin Erzhou into Hedong. The second is the Qingyan Road, which must also enter Fengzhou from Yinzhou, and then reach the tribes of Jiashan.

Yinzhou loses once, and both roads are broken.

Song Jiu said at the court meeting: "Song Xianggong, what a strategy to recruit An, because of Zhao'an, the front-line soldiers did not dare to do their best, so Li Jiqian was defeated in Xiazhou, thousands of soldiers and horses quickly expanded to nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the second was defeated in Jialuchuan, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses became more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, three defeats in Youzhou, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses became more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, four defeats in Dijinze, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses became unknown soldiers and horses, and Li Ji moved to Yinzhou. ”

Song Qi can't be blamed entirely.

But this result undoubtedly slapped Song Qi in the face.

Song Jiu shouted again: "Cao Guangshi is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs in our dynasty, but because of the mistake of the ministers, he died in a place outside the Saiwai. Your Majesty, if you choose with a minister, you would rather die than die a Cao Guangshi! (To be continued......)
