When Su Shi has enough available troops in his hands to overpower Wang Xin, he will consider the matter of the two meeting.

But now, Wang Xin has not yet gone to see him, and there is another Wang Deyong.

What is the court trying to do? Don't want to watch the front line win, don't want to see a favorable situation?

Su Shi really couldn't understand those big men in the court, this kind of idea of not looking down on others would only harm himself in the end.

"Let's go, give him Xincheng." Looking at the information that had just been sent in his hand, Su Shi quickly made a decision.

The Black Cavalry Scout Brigade has just sent a battle report, 100,000 Liao troops are going to participate in the war, starting from Xincheng, not going to the Song Realm, but from Yicheng, Lingqiu line, and now it has begun to enter from Taixi Mountain, and the earliest vanguard has reached Wutai Mountain.

It is clear that this is to fight Xincheng with Mengqi.

Su Shi was still thinking about countermeasures, at this time Wang De used it, it was just right, it was good to throw him here as a target.

Great Song Privy Envoy, this is a big signboard, and it should be able to attract a lot of enemies.

Outside Xincheng, Wang Deyong, who was carrying 5,000 cavalry, was waiting for Su Shi to greet him.

He is a privy envoy, a dignified member of the first rank, where is it not worthy of the magistrate to come and greet him?

Su Shi, Wen Cong Shaofu, Wu Wei Zhongwu, one from the fourth grade, one from the third grade, that is all his own subordinates, and Su Shi came to greet him, which was to give him face.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Shigang had won two battles in a row in the north, Wang Deyong might not have been able to see Su Shi.

Now he wants Su Shi to come out to greet him, he just wants others to see that his position is much higher than Su Shi. Those who used to serve Su Shi can now change their doors and come to themselves.

The 5,000 cavalry was just outside the city, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

At the beginning, Wang Deyong was still riding on a horse, looking majestic.

But from morning to afternoon, his lips were dry, and he still didn't see anyone come to greet him, his face was a little unbearable, and he looked at the accompanying cavalry general Zheng Changchang and said: "Go, I'm sending someone into the city to take a look, what is this Su Shi doing?" He didn't come to greet him for so long, what did he want to do? ”

Wang Deyong's face was not good-looking, Zheng Changjiu didn't dare to touch his moldy head, and hurriedly agreed, so he sent someone into the city again.

Fortunately, this time there was finally movement, and soon after, three generals in armor came out.

"General Long Wuwei, Wang Miao, has seen the Privy Envoy."

"Xu Ba, the general of the Reserve Forbidden Army, has met the Privy Envoy."

"Shi Qianshan, the general of the Xinzhou army, has seen the privy envoy."

Seeing the three of them coming, Wang Deyong immediately frowned.

Wang Miao knew that this person was the martial master of King Jing Zhao Xi, and he was also the commander of King Jing's personal guard Long Wuwei.

Xu Ba also knew that he was originally a general in the 300,000 forbidden army, and he was not a well-known figure, and this time he was transferred to the reserve forbidden army with the consent of the Privy Council, and he also signed it.

But who is this Xinzhou soldier general Shi Qianshan?

It's just a general in a small state, how can they all be qualified to come to see him?

Of course, these are not the main things, the most important thing is where Su Shi went, what he wants to see is this person.

"What about Su Shi? Why didn't he come out to greet him? Wang Deyong, whose face showed displeasure, asked.

"This..."The three below hesitated for a moment and looked at each other.

After that, it was Wang Miao who stood up, he was the martial master of His Royal Highness King Jing, and his identity was the most noble, even Wang Deyong couldn't do anything with this person. "General Chungmu went out of the city to inspect. Just when the adults came outside Xincheng. ”

This time, Wang Deyong understood.

Where is Su Shi going to inspect, he is clearly hiding from himself.

Is this because he is afraid that he will take his power?

Anyway, this person's absence is still a good thing for him to control the army. But there was one thing he had to ask in advance, "Oh, then the officer asked you, where is the main force of the army?" ”

"That's right, more than eighty percent of the troops in the army are there." Wang Miao replied again.

Hearing that more than eighty percent of the troops were still there, Wang Deyong finally showed a happy look on his face.

In this way, Su Shi only took away less than twenty percent of the army, so he couldn't make any waves if he was so forgiven. And this person is not there, he is confident that he can quickly master these armies with his own identity, so that the next time he wins the battle, the credit will be all his own, and even Su Shi will not have a share.

"Okay, that's it, everyone works hard, let's go into the city with the old man to have a look." Thinking that three people would be needed next, Wang Deyong had a smile on his face, and he looked amiable, which was completely different from the Xingshi questioning just now.

Either way, those who can hold power are people who can act, and some people even have two or three faces, and that's true.

Wang Deyong entered the city, but Su Shi left the city. The military power was handed over so simply, and there was no wave during the period.

Wang Deyong is very satisfied with this result. But when he entered Xincheng and entered the mansion where Su Shi lived before, his mood was soon no longer so beautiful.

Long Wuwei has less than 4,000 people, the reserve forbidden army is only 10,000, and there are a lot of Xinzhou soldiers, which are enough to 30,000, but this is only a local army, and the combat power is only the same as the box soldiers, or even the same as the township soldiers.

By the way, there is also Shi Ruohai, the general of the northern company, at this time he is leading people to fight against the Mongolian cavalry in the north, and he has no time to return to Xinzhou to see him, the privy envoy.

After understanding the situation, this time Wang Deyong did not call Wang Miao, he also seemed to know that the identity of the other party was not something he could suppress casually, he called Xu Ba, a general of the forbidden army.

"General Xu, what the hell is going on? Didn't it mean that Su Shi only took away less than 20% of the troops? ”

Seeing that Wang Deyong seemed to be a little angry, Xu Ba had to tell the truth, "It is indeed less than two percent, this time there are only 6,000 vanguard troops who left with General Zhongwu, and there are still 3,000 wounded vanguard soldiers in the city." ”

"Only 6,000 people were taken away, could it be said that the defeat of Mengqi and the defeat of Western Xia before was done by relying on these forces?" Wang De asked with a look of disbelief.

"Your Excellency is right, it's what we're left to do. Oh yes, there are also black knights, but they are all for the loyal generals, and they don't take the food and salary of the imperial court, so they shouldn't be counted. ”

When answering this question, Xu Ba still put gold on his face to some extent, in fact, he had not yet arrived when Shengmeng was riding, and when he fought Western Xia, he was just carrying out the work of cleaning up the battlefield.

When he heard the word black horse, Wang Deyong waved his hand.

Regarding this issue, there is no definition on the imperial court for the time being. It is true that they do not want any support from the imperial court, but as an armed force with such a strong combat power, it cannot be used by the country, and the most anxious about this should be the current officials.

There will definitely be arrangements from the official family, this is not something that he Wang Deyong can consider, what he needs to worry about now is the present.

I thought that Su Shi had won these battles, and his subordinates must be fierce generals and groups of soldiers.

After all, if you can defeat the Mengqi of the Liao Kingdom, is that a good match?

There is also the combat power of Western Xia, not to mention it. The strongest of the Great Song Army, except for the forbidden army, was the Western Army, but even the Western Army was only barely able to maintain the situation in the battle with the Western Xia Army.

If you want to defeat both armies at the same time, at least in terms of troops, it should be enough.

But now it seems that there is enough troops, and it should be said that there is a great lack of troops.

If you don't count the Xinzhou soldiers composed of ordinary people, there are only more than 10,000 Song soldiers in the city, I really don't know how Su Shi used these people to win the battle.

I was puzzled in my heart, Wang Deyong just thought that he was new to the city, and some situations should not be clear, so when he looked at Xu Ba, his attitude changed a lot. "Xu Ba, I remember how many years you have been a general of the forbidden army, right?"

Xu Ba didn't know why Wang Deyong asked this question, but he still said honestly: "It's been six years since I returned to my lordship." ”

"So long? I remember that the positions of the forbidden army are all transferred every five years, why didn't you move? Wang Deyong asked. But without waiting for the other party to answer, he took the initiative to say: "It seems that the old man doesn't care enough." But don't worry, after returning to Bianliang this time, I will say hello to other people and solve your problems, and a genuine general will be indispensable at that time. ”

Wang Deyong said as he observed Xu Ba.

Xu Ba also said with joy on his face after hearing this: "Thank you, sir." ”

However, he was slandering in his heart, Su Shi had mentioned that if he performed well in this battle, it would be impossible to become the commander of the 300,000 forbidden army, but it would be no problem to become the deputy commander and lead a 30,000-strong forbidden army alone.

Wang Deyong is a privy envoy, but he is so stingy, just a legitimate general, he can only lead 10,000 troops at most, this courage is really too far behind Su Shi.

But even if Wang Deyong opened his mouth, he didn't want to offend this person, so he pretended to be happy and let the other party be happy.

Xu Ba's happy appearance looked in Wang Deyong's eyes, and he smiled.

He thought that this person should be telling the truth next.

But left and right, Xu Ba didn't say anything, on the contrary, he even restrained his smile under his gaze, and became very serious again.

"Xu Ba, don't you have anything to say to the old man?" I don't know if I was pretending to be confused, or if I really didn't understand what I meant, Wang De simply asked directly.

"Say? Say what? Xu Ba was really stunned this time.

He said everything that should have been said, and what he said was also the truth, I really don't know what Wang Deyong wants to hear.

"That's it, that's it, you go down first." This performance fell in Wang Deyong's eyes, but he thought that this person didn't want to have the same heart as himself, so he wouldn't force it.

After all, he is a privy envoy, and he wants to save face. If you Xu Ba don't surrender, are you afraid that there is no smart one among the others?

Some people died, but not completely......
