Chapter 563: On Meritorious Deeds

"Since the Great Song Dynasty started with Taizu, what is the most fearful, you won't be unclear."

"Emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, this is also what has been done since the Taizu period, this is the ancestral training."

"It's okay to say that you are not confident, but this is one of the iron laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Military generals must be used more defensively. ”

"Once the role of military generals is too obvious under a big war, it is not to help them, but to harm them."

"But in all wars, victory is the credit of the civil ministers, and the military generals are responsible for the defeat, which is also a habit formed over the years, no one can change it, let alone surpass it, otherwise, it is provoking the authority of the official family and provoking the entire court."

"If you do that, then no matter who you are, nothing will end well."

Bao Heizi rarely said a lot, and he also said things so bluntly, Su Shi's brows were frowning when he listened.

"Well, Wang Deyong can't be held accountable, but he didn't give him too much credit. If it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that most of the honor of this great victory will be placed on his head, if this is the case, the merits of other generals will be weakened, and it is not impossible that meritorious will become meritless. ”

Bao Heizi's words are more thorough.

It means that this time it is him, and if it is someone else, there is no room for negotiation.

"That's it, that's it, whatever you want, anyway, my black horsemen don't need to be written in the merit book, and they don't need any rewards from the imperial court." Su Shi was a little unhappy and impatient when he heard it, so he simply waved his hand and let Bao Heizi do it according to his own wishes.

When it came to the black ride, Bao Zheng's face instantly became as deep as water, "These are."

Black Ride, what are you going to do? If you don't list them in the imperial army, you will be tantamount to supporting your own private army, and once someone impeaches you on this matter, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect you. ”

"I have money, can't I support the black rider myself?" Su Shi's voice suddenly rose by three points, and he asked rhetorically.

"Of course not." Bao Heizi said a word.

"If you have money, you can hire more people to serve you, and you can even buy land and property, and no one will care about you. But it is impossible to raise an army, the army can only be used by the imperial court, and the army can only be used by the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Anyone else who dares to raise an army privately is suspected of rebellion, and everyone will be punished."

Bao Heizi said very firmly, then looked at Su Shi, and said earnestly: "Otherwise, you will classify the black cavalry as the army in the north, of course, you are now also a loyal general of the imperial court, and they can follow you." But after the end of the war, these troops had to be put at the disposal of the imperial court. ”

"Otherwise, you will disband the Black Riders right now and make them completely disappear from everyone's sight."

Bao Zheng opened his mouth and gave two options.

Obviously, in the matter of the black horse, Bao Zheng really considered Su Shi.

It is impossible to disband the Black Knights, and neither can they be handed over to the imperial court.

Otherwise, once such a good army is handed over to the imperial court and handed over to those mediocre people, I am afraid that it will not be long before the black cavalry will not form an army, and it will not have its current combat effectiveness.

Besides, Heiqi is used to eating and drinking, except for Su Shi, I'm afraid no one can afford it.

Such an army can only be handed over to Su Shi

in order to give full play to their greatest combat effectiveness and their strongest strength.

"Okay, they will follow me first, and they will be assigned to the people's army, which is not established anyway." After thinking about it, Su Shi replied like this, but he was thinking in his heart that in the future, when the war was over, he was trying to find a way to make them disappear.

The matter of the black horse, Bao Zheng just clicked to the end, he believed that Su Shi was a smart person and should know how to do it.

What he worries about is that Su Shi is too young, and he is used to doing things smoothly, and he will become arrogant and arrogant.

In this northern war, Su Shi has already revealed his talent for commanding troops, and it is a blessing that the Great Song Dynasty has such a person. What Bao Zheng needs to do is to protect such a person, so that he can grow up and not be harmed by villains.

After talking about the black horse, Bao Zheng asked how to report the matter of Wang Miao to the court.

Wang Miao is the commander of Long Wuwei's army, or the martial master of His Royal Highness King Jing, it can be said that the position is very crucial. Considering that Su Shi and King Jing had a very close relationship, Bao Zheng naturally had to listen to his opinions on this matter.

"Wang Miao, it's just one waste, just report it truthfully. By the way, isn't there no one to pay for some of Wang Xin's mistakes? Just press it on him. After thinking about it, Su Shi put forward his own opinions.

When I saw Wang Miao for the first time, Su Shi's impression of him was quite good, and because of Zhao Xi, he regarded the other party as his own.

But this time the battle in the north made Su Shi see clearly, this person not only did not have the same heart as himself, but also guarded himself very seriously. On the battlefield, it is only known

Dao preserves his strength, but he has not seen any real military feats.

Such a mediocre person, once he really holds power, it will definitely not be a good thing for Da Song. Su Shi had a long-term plan, so he thought about cleaning it up before the other party became bigger.

As for what Zhao Xi will think, he will explain it when Su Shi returns to Bianliang.

"Yes." Bao Zheng has already made his own decisions on the matter of Heiqi and Wang Deyong, and is thinking about how to make up for Su Shi, and now he will naturally be the opinion of the other party.

After talking about the most difficult things, the next thing to talk about is the military merits of various armies, on this issue, Bao Heizi fully respected Su Shi's opinion, and almost reported it as he said.

The two chatted for more than an hour, until Lou Yang walked in outside the door and said that it was time to eat, and the two stopped.

"The sky is big, and the belly is the biggest. I've long heard that the food here in your Su Shi is the best, haha, I'm a mouthful. Bao Zheng said with a laugh.

"Uncle Bao rest assured, the food is guaranteed to satisfy you. Lou Yang, get the rice here, and I'm preparing a little Moutai to bring it over. ”

Since the opening of the supermarket system, Su Shi has more alcohol to choose from, and now he no longer drinks burning knives and changes to Moutai.

"Yes, young master. It's just..."

Lou Yang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping fell into Su Shi's eyes, which made him very puzzled. After capturing the camp of the Liao army, Su Shi exchanged a lot of good things and put them in the grain depot, could it be said that there was no wine?

No, no one here is bold enough to take their own things.

"Young master, General Wang Xin is asking to see him outside, he wants to put it

Originally, the 20,000 captives were to be returned. Lou Yang hesitated, and after seeing Su Shi's inquiring gaze, he told the matter again.

When Wang Xin relieved the siege of Xincheng and rescued Wang Deyong and left, because of the hurry, he only had time to take Wang Deyong and Wang Miao's four thousand dragon guards away, so that when the Liao army chased after him, he captured 20,000 Song troops who did not have time to escape.

Later, Yang Wenguang and Di Qing and others came too fast, so that the Liao army did not have time to take the 20,000 prisoners, and when the army began to search the barracks, they found them, which allowed these people to be rescued. Now Wang Xin came to ask for someone, which was originally the right thing to do.

It's just because Wang Xin didn't come to the aid of Shigu Mountain before, and by the time he came later, the war was over.

Before an inch of merit was established, Wang Xin opened his mouth to ask for someone, and he was a little shameless.

But as the former commander of Hebei Road, he had to do so. Otherwise, I'm afraid that everyone will not believe in him in the future.

Although Wang Xin's ability has been questioned by some people under this big war, only a few people have privately discussed, and with his years of military exploits and qualifications, no one dares to say anything publicly.

"People have to pay him back, otherwise it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the problem when he returns to Beijing." Bao Zheng stood beside Su Shi and spoke.

"Oh, Uncle Bao is also afraid of those officials?" Su Shi smiled.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that if I can do less, I will miss one thing. Our official ears are too soft, we are not in the capital, don't leave any tricks for others to attack. Bao Heizi shook his head and refused to admit it.

Su Shi just smiled, he knew that Bao Zheng had already been for those Chao

The ministers in the court had a certain disgust.

Su Shi also believes that as time goes by, this annoyance will become more and more vigorous, and one day, he will firmly stand on his side and be willing to contribute to the reform of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Okay, once Uncle Bao has spoken, he will give it to him. Well, the eastern side of the North is safe now, and the aliens have no intention of invading, so let him go back there. Su Shi said casually with a smile.

This time, Wang Xin's performance made Su Shi very disappointed.

I thought that as a member of the military generals, they should rise up and resist knowing that the civil servants were oppressed.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xin was used to it, and at critical moments, what he wanted was not to save himself, who could change the general trend of the battlefield, but to save a civil servant.

If you want to say that there is no sycophancy in this, Su Shi will not believe it if he is killed.

Perhaps, Wang Xin thinks that he can save Wang Deyong, which is equivalent to making a great contribution, and if someone in the court really impeaches him, someone will speak for him. Unexpectedly, Wang Deyong was a white-eyed wolf, and he forgot about him after he was safe.

At this meeting, I don't know if Wang Xin has regretted it.

But no matter what he thinks now, Su Shi will not give any trust to such a military general who is willing to pat Wenchen's ass, let alone let him stay under his eyes, which will only make him feel bad, which will affect his command of the army to fight.

Su Shi opened his mouth, considering that on the battlefield now, no one is indispensable to Su Shi, the real commander, Bao Zheng nodded and agreed. "Yes, just do as you say."

Bao Zheng said that there was no pressure to talk about this, and Wang Xin was not one

Wufu is just a martial artist, even if he was the commander of the Hebei Road Army, a martial artist is still a martial artist.

will not be looked down upon by the ministers because of his great power.

This is the overall opinion of Wenchen on military generals in this era, and emphasizing literature and suppressing military force is not a joke.

Even a person as fair as Bao Zheng is not exempt from vulgarity.
