"If you talk about generosity, I am not as far away as Lu Duan and Lu Mengzheng. But I also don't like the kind of generosity that just wants to be a good old man and only promises. Song Jiu suddenly said this sentence without a head or brain, which made Chai Yuxi, Xiang Minzhong and Zhao Rong incomprehensible.

Song Jiu said again: "But I am more opposed to the kind of attack that will do anything for the sake of rights. Both governments have been a little out of control in recent years, although there are various reasons, but they are not unrelated to these two. The past is gone. ”

The three of them understood, this was for Chai Zhao and the others.

Song Jiu came to Xifu, and Chai and Zhao were very honest.

But Song Jiu was not at ease.

There is a kind of laughter called a knife hidden in laughter.

There is a mushroom called the Autumn Bowler.

There is a type of snake called the land snake.

There are many official affairs in Xifu, most of which can be made public, but some of which cannot be made public. Just like the last plan, the candidates for the Xifu were changed back and forth, especially the transfer for the sake of power and profit, which once made Song Jiu very worried, and the province was afraid that some people would leak out without knowing the severity of the matter, and the major events would be suspended.

Especially this Zhao Rong.

He is called unscrupulous in order to get to the top.

The more respectful you are to yourself, the more careful you have to be. Now that he is back, he who has returned from meritorious service has taken the initiative to ask to go to Xifu. Xifu is not like Dongfu, the military power is divided into three parts, the west government and the local government and the three ya, the west government decides military affairs, but does not have the power of the army, the three yas have the power of the army, but there is no decision-making power, the local army has soldiers, but the soldiers are scattered. The time when Song Jiu went down, he had the right to mobilize troops in Hedong, and at the same time, he could also expediently order the garrisons in Hebei and Northwest. But this time period is very short, and it can only be done when the troops are used, and if it is in peacetime, it will be ordered. I'm afraid Zhao Kuangyi may not be happy.

But it's Xifu, isn't it jealous?

He is not Wang Xian, who rules by inaction. It doesn't matter if you stay for more than ten years.

It's not good to do nothing, and it's not good to be promising.

The greater the prestige, the worse it is. For example, Cao Bin, how did he go down, it seems that the two people in front of him got it down.

Warning, the country is not yet at peace. The Liao State doesn't know what the situation is, and Bashu doesn't know when the Lu Dao will be chaotic. If you get through it, you can retreat even if you retreat. But even if you retreat, you have to learn from Zhang Qixian.

People are wealthy men, conscious, wrong. I'll quit myself. Save a head of dust.

If Zhao Kuangyi knew that Song Jiu had such an idea, he could use the jade seal to smash him on the head.

They are all smart people, and they understand it as soon as they hear it.

Song Jiu slowly lowered his value at this time.

Back home, the family happily greeted them.

Zhang Qixian is a heroic man in the Great Song Dynasty, and Song Jiu is a good man in the Great Song Dynasty. Many people also ridiculed Song Jiu because of this, but Wang Yuyan, an angry young man in the Great Song Dynasty, admired Song Jiu very much, especially Song Jiu's approachability and did not talk about fighting, but the fate of this angry young man was very sad......

However, Pan Li'er's expression was a little strange today.

Song Jiu looked at his wife.

Pan Li'er said in a low voice: "Official." It is rumored that there are too many officials in the capital, so that most of the family are daughters. ”

Yuping is older, but when Su is in her prime, she gave birth to two more daughters to Song Jiu in Hedong. Song Dashuang, Song Xiaoshuang. The employing staff is thin, and they can't attack the Song family. And the Song family maintains the good tradition of "late marriage and late childbearing". It is almost a miracle that several children have grown up safely in this era. Moreover, Song Bao brought a grandson and a granddaughter to Song Jiu in the northwest.

But it still made an excuse. is like Han Yu's "Youlan Cao": the orchid is rampant, and its fragrance is promoted. The incense arches it. It's secluded. If you don't pick it up, why does Yu Lan hurt? Day by day, year by year, we go in all directions.

King Wen Mengxiong, Weishui Lang. Pick and admire, Yiyi Qingfang. The snow and frost are lush, the buds are in winter, the gentleman's guard, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous.

King Wen of Zhou was a good man, so his descendants prospered, and it is rumored that he had a hundred sons......

Song Jiu's family has many children, but most of them are daughters, and they are super "money goods", so they gave some people reasons to attack.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it, unless I am brave in the rapids, then public opinion will praise it immediately, but is it possible?"

Timid laughed on the side.

It's that Song Jiu wants to retreat, will the emperor agree? Besides, Song Jiu is not sixty or seventy years old, why should he retire?

"I'm worried about Yu'er."

Let Song Yu go to Nanyang to sharpen, Pan Li'er is both in favor and afraid. Seeing Song Bao grow up, Pan Li'er was quite moved, and Song Bao did a good job below, when Zhao Kuangyi was transferred to Qinzhou, the people wrote 10,000 letters to ask the transfer envoy to stay, and after staying for more than a year, Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict to transfer to Pizhou, but this time it was Zhizhou. The people asked again, but this time Song Jiu didn't agree, wrote to his son, and left immediately!

The father and son are powerful in the northwest, which is a good name, but it is also a disaster if they don't get it right.

Song Bao quietly left Lingzhou and went to Pizhou.

Maybe Song Bao will never reach the height of Song Jiu, but some of his styles are quite Song Jiu's style, cautious, diligent and hard-working, and he will not be too bad in his career in this life, at least better than a few uncles.

What if you haven't sharpened it overseas?

However, the risk at sea is too great, and even in the south, she may not be able to adapt to that kind of weather, so Pan Li'er has been anxious.

Especially after this rumor appeared, if Song Yu had an accident on the way back, it would confirm this rumor. Besides, it was also agreed with the Gao family that when Song Yu came back, Yu Niang would get married.

"Although there are risks at sea, how many accidents have there been over the years? Think of the Jinghu soldiers who escorted the tax grain for the imperial court. If you are worried, don't forget that my family and your mother's family have more than 20 ships overseas, and those people are also human beings, then they will confirm the oral testimony of others. ”

Pan Li'er was silent.

She understands what her husband means, if she wants a soldier not to be afraid of death, as the first commander, she can't be afraid of death. Therefore, every time he fought, his husband stood on the front line even if he did not command.

If you want your subordinates to be honest, you must also take the lead in being honest.

If the impact is far-reaching, although the soldiers led by Li Guang are fierce and undisciplined, the army that Cheng does not know will have strict military discipline.

But......

"It's all back, what's the use of all this, you didn't agree to it at the beginning. If you don't do anything, you will have a good side and a bad side when you do things. Don't live in someone else's world. ”

For example, the Song family was thin, so Pan Li'er was very anxious at the beginning. has two sons, and has to take concubines. I believe that there are many concubines. Pan Li'er was not happy to some extent. However, I am afraid of gossip. The same is true for Jade, so when she went south. was bullied by a few great-grandfathers. Obviously unhappy, several half-brothers were taken captive to the Song Dynasty, but they still asked themselves to spend some money, buy some land in the suburbs of Kaifeng, and buy some houses to settle them.

You can't disrespect other people's opinions, but respect is not complete obedience, that's a sign of not having a long brain.

But Song Jiu was also wondering, who started this rumor?

Dasu serves the dish.

The Song family raised a lot of people. But the relationship is a bit complicated, and it's hard to say whether they are a family member, or a guard, maybe a servant and a servant, or to put it mildly, a servant. Most of the men protected the Song family, or followed Song Jiu to the south and north, and the women Song Jiu asked them to go out to work and save some money for their children. Including Guo Er, they died. These women and children continue to be taken in by the Song family.

In fact, most of them are old people hired before, but the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old, and Song Jiu basically uses these people. No new hires were hired. Sometimes they also take the initiative to do some household chores, such as cleaning or doing some menial work. Bringing children at home. Cooking, laundry. It was Granny Li, and the two women she hired later. Apple and Sue are back. Granny Li is also old. Xiao Su took the initiative to do some housework for Granny Li.

The meals were tasty.

The weather starts to heat in April, and the evening breeze brings the fragrance of seasonal flowers.

Song Jiu sipped sweet wine and teased a few little daughters, and suddenly a yellow gate arrived at Song's house and let Song Jiu enter the palace to discuss matters.

Shi Pu and the others came back from Liaodong.

……

"The minister has a great trust from His Majesty." Shi Pudao.

This time is different from the previous times, although he has also been defeated, he will inevitably lose, even if Shi Pu has the ability to finish the fight, he is not a Jurchen and has no appeal. The main problem is Wu Xuanming's ability. Without a good leader and the strongest Khitan, the Jurchens will inevitably lose. But no matter how he failed before, he always kept some family foundation, and then made a comeback. But this time it was different, all of them were disabled. Let the Liao State kill, surrender, and escape, and there will be no chance to rise.

How important the Jurchen is to the Liao State, Shi Pu knows the Tao, and for this Jurchen, how much money the imperial court has invested before and after!

"General Shi, you will tell me the details."

"Hate Wu Xuanming!" Shi Pu said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for the possibility that this person would be used, Shi Pu wanted to push Wu Xuanming into the sea on the boat.

Shi Pu slowly told the truth.

What exactly the imperial court was going to do, Shi Pu really didn't know what to do, but he ordered him to bewitch Wu Xuanming to send heavy troops to southern Liaoning.

It was good at first, even if Yelu Hugo came, Shi Pu also defeated him.

But then the situation was different, hearing that Xiao Yanyan raised a national army to attack, Shi Puzhi and the Jurchens would definitely not support, so he persuaded Wu Xuanming not to attack Tokyo City again, and retreat to the north quickly, so if you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can quickly withdraw to the base camp, and after arriving at the base camp, if it is not an expedition, then you can mobilize more soldiers. It may be that if he listened to Shi Pu, he would not only be able to inflict heavy losses on the Liao army and force the Liao army to withdraw, but at least let the Liao army suffer a big loss, and would not destroy the so-called Bohai State.

However, Wu Xuanming didn't listen, thinking that he could take Tokyo City before, but now he hasn't even taken Tokyo City, how to withdraw. Moreover, this time to the south, many great victories, may not be defeated. In fact, he had a dream in his heart, that is, to restore the prosperity of the Bohai Kingdom.

At some point, he gradually ignored the Song Dynasty, and it was Shi Pu.

Then suffered a miserable defeat under the city of Tokyo, forcing Wu Xuanming to withdraw his army, but it was too late at that time, so that the Liao army was blocked in Yinzhou, and attacked back and forth, although the fierceness of the Jurchens killed and injured many Liao soldiers, but the most Lu failed later. Wu Xuanming fled back to Huanglong Mansion with a crushing defeat, and was once again caught between the two armies. So he was defeated again. But at that time, he fled back to Ujak City, not to withdraw to Ujak City in the first place. The Liao army of more than 100,000 then pounced.

Wu Xuanming was defeated so badly, and it was a tribal alliance system, some tribes defected one after another, although some tribes resisted bravely, and after several battles, the Liao army was almost close to 100,000 people at one time. However, under internal and external troubles, they retreated one after another. And the Liao State was ruthless this time, and carried out a slaughter system against some resisting tribes. Wu Xuanming had no choice but to flee to the Song Dynasty with Shi Pu in a hurry.

Zhao Kuangyi was furious: "Summoning Wu Xuanming to meet you!" ”

I want to ask why Wu Xuanming didn't listen to the words of the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu took Zhao Kuangyi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, General Shi is guilty, not a crime of war. Even if you spend some money, but is it worth it? ”

It's not worth it, it's too worthwhile, just with the successful completion of this wind plan, Liaodong alone killed and injured nearly 100,000 Liao troops, which is far more than this investment. Think about the money spent on that battle of the Song Dynasty, that is, the great victory of the Battle of the Tang River and the Battle of the Xu River, and the money and silk that were rewarded and bereaved were enough to pay for the support of Liaodong over the years.

Song Jiu said again: "They are barbarian Jurchens after all, where do they have this vision." ”

He originally wanted to say that if he is not of my race, his heart will be different, but where is the Zhejia and the Wang family? Or how to look at it.

Since ancient times, China has been raising white-eyed wolves, and there are too many to count.

Even the US imperialists raised some white-eyed wolves.

Therefore, he said: "Whether the foreign clan is loyal and rebellious, there is no need to mind too much, in short, the court must keep a cool head in the future, everything is for the sake of the strong inside, if there is no need for the strong inside, there is no need to consume the inside and outside for the so-called Wanbang to come, then sooner or later it will become a danger to the country." ”

Naked pragmatism, utilitarianism!

"Besides, what if he's still useful. Force is not the root of the problem, I believe that there are still many Jurchen tribes who resent the Liao State, and Wu Xuanming's father and son will still play a role in the future. ”

Zhao Kuangyi calmed down at this time.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of each other's relationship, did the Song Dynasty really ignore its own country and support Wu Xuanming to successfully build a new Bohai State?

Shi Pu said: "Song Jiu is right, Hou Zhongxun and they are doing very well, although a few people have begun to be arrogant, but under the leadership of these students and officials, Liaodong is thriving, and they are also deeply loved by the people of all tribes. It's a pity that such a good area was given to Liao. ”

Hou Zhongxun they did a good job, the court did not treat badly, what the country lacked was officials who could deal with ethnic minorities, after these students and small officials returned, they were immediately awarded various official positions, including magistrates and prefectures, although most of them were border prefectures and counties, but they were successively appointed and became official officials of the state. And as long as you don't make serious mistakes, this resume is brilliant, and it will be faster to rise to the top in the future.

But Song Jiu didn't care about this.

There are many outstanding officials in the academy, not to mention that he is there, it blocks the future of these students, if he is not in front of the shield, they are the most vulnerable among the groups of several official channels. The precipitation over the years will be very good for the accumulation of the stumbling effect. Once Song Jiu retreats, these student officials will rise strongly at that time. Unless the emperor in the back is as mediocre as Zhao Ji. But I believe this is unlikely.

He also said: "It's okay, unlike your thoughts, I want the people of Liao to do this, maybe there is more food, and there will be enough food and clothing in the future, maybe the number of people will increase sharply." But in terms of wealth, how can they compare with me to the Central Plains? On diligence, can you be as diligent as the Han people? On the contrary, walking off horseback, you can only compete with our dynasty in terms of economy, population and internal governance, is that Liao still scary? ”

Zhao Kuangyi's forehead.

Song Jiu's worries are not unreasonable.

But at present, there are still many problems in the country, and in the face of these problems, Zhao Kuangyi thought that it was Song Jiu's benefits, not Song Jiu's "disadvantages". However, Song Jiu's ease of satisfaction is also a factor. If you really want Song Jiu to be Zhuge Liang of the Song Dynasty, wait and see.

And don't underestimate Song Jiu, Song Jiu also had some influence on Zhao Kuangyi, such as paying more attention to the advantages and disadvantages of officials, and caring more for the people. seems conservative, it is trapped in the northwest, and the Northern Expedition has been defeated once and again, but it has never been cowardly.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "Shi Pu, this trip has been hard. ”

"For the sake of His Majesty, I am willing to smear my liver and brain."

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Song Jiu at this time, and it was also the truth that he called Song Jiu, and said, "The Liao State is weak. (To be continued......)
