The two of you and I decided Wang Xin's fate with a word, and then Su Shi didn't have any intention of meeting Wang Xin, but handed over everything to Bao Zheng, and he himself went to the neighbor's tent to meet another person who he thought should be met.

Room nine expensive.

At this time, he was in the military tent next door, standing a little nervously.

He had been here for a while, but Su Shi still hadn't come, which made him even more nervous.

Fang Jiugui is a capable person, otherwise, he would not have rushed to the position of leading the general by relying on his own performance.

A man like him, who is less than thirty years old and can fight well, can be said to be a promising person in other dynasties.

If you continue to work hard, it may not be impossible to pay homage to the prime minister.

It's just that the damn Great Song Dynasty system makes him see no chance of coming out at all.

The military generals of the Song Dynasty, if they want to really get ahead, either they need to have a general above them take a fancy and constantly promote him.

is like Di Qing, who was favored by the commander of the Western Army, Zhe Jimin, so he had the opportunity to display his talent.

Fang Jiugui also studied and intended to get closer to Wang Xin, but unfortunately, the other party only used him and did not mean to regard himself as a confidant.

The generals want to be promoted, they want to make a difference, and there is another way, that is, to take refuge in Wenchen.

Be willing to be a lackey of his subordinates, when you become a subordinate of Wenchen and become one of them, there will be a lot fewer people who make things difficult for you, and you will have more opportunities to get ahead.

Many people can see this road, but how can a real man be willing to succumb to the civil servants?

Fang Jiugui is such a person, he is unwilling, just one

I didn't go to the so-called Wenchen to take refuge.

In fact, a person like him, his current status, even if he really sells himself, he can't sell it for a good price.

More time, Fang Jiugui was still working hard and waiting, waiting for the person he thought was worth taking refuge in.

And now, this person is here, he is Su Shi.

Su Shi is called General Zhongwu, but this is only a wartime titled general, once there is no war, after he returns to Bianliang, he will become a four-pin Shaofu again.

Shaofu is a civil official, don't look at the low grade, but he has more superior status than an ordinary general.

Taking refuge in Su Shi is equivalent to indirectly taking refuge in Wenchen.

With this prerequisite, Su Shi can more easily get Fang Jiugui's approval. In addition, he has carefully observed during this time, Su Shi is very popular with the army, and he is also very good to the soldiers under him, not at all like other Wenchen, who completely cares about the life and death of the soldiers, once he faces life and death, he will let the soldiers rush to kill at any cost, and they will not blink their eyes more than how many people die.

Both loves soldiers, knows soldiers, or the identity of Wenchen, isn't such a person exactly the person he needs to take refuge in?

He was very worried that Su Shi would refuse him, in this way, he was afraid that he would not have any chance to get ahead in his life and display his talents.

In the midst of this nervous waiting, outside the military tent, the sound of a wheelchair pressing the ground came, and Lou Yang pushed Su Shi into the tent.

"Subordinate Fang Jiugui to meet General Zhongwu."

With a plop, Fang Jiugui half-knelt

On the ground, he never raised his head, let alone dared to meet Su Shi's gaze.

In the animal world, doing so means fear and surrender.

Su Shi looked at the top of Fang Jiugui's head very casually, and when he saw the fiery red, he knew that this person really admired and believed in himself, and he wanted to come this time to take refuge sincerely.

To outsiders, Su Shi can also take a shelf.

This is also a matter of no choice, as a member of the Wenchen, if Su Shi does not take the shelf, he will be taken care of by others.

But for his own people, Su Shi had no shelf at all, so he smiled and said to Fang Jiugui, who was half-kneeling on the ground: "Come, Jiugui get up quickly." ”

Although Fang Jiugui was at least ten years older than him in terms of age, Su Shi did not feel the slightest discomfort when he said these words.

Even if he was half-kneeling on the ground, Fang Jiugui, who was getting up, didn't think it was half inappropriate.

For those in power, age is never a criterion for determining whether a person is strong or not.

On the contrary, many times, the older you get, the less potential you have.

Fang Jiugui got up, but he still lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Shi. In this regard, Su Dashao didn't care at all, and after being pushed to the main position by Lou Yang, he said, "General Wang Xin is about to return to the east of the northern border, and Baozhou and Bazhou over there have not been baptized by war, and they still need to be guarded well." And you're originally from there, how about letting you go back now, you won't have any complaints, right? ”

Do you want to let yourself go back?

This was somewhat unexpected by Fang Jiugui.

This time he came with the heart of refuge, believing this Su Shiyi

You can see it. So why let yourself go back?

Do you mean that you don't want to accept yourself?

Wrong.

If you don't accept yourself, why do you summon yourself alone?

When he was still thinking about this, Su Shi spoke again, "You don't have any psychological burden, this time I let you go back with Wang Xin, mainly because I need to understand the situation over there, and you went over, it is equivalent to the person I arranged over there, there is something to report in time, how about it, is there any problem?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Jiugui's heart was relieved.

It turned out that he was letting himself spy on Wang Xin, but it seems that Su Shi still regards himself as his own family.

Finally accepted, Fang Jiugui was excited, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are willing to do things for the young marshal, and there is no problem." ”

Su Shi was very satisfied with Fang Jiugui's answer, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm very happy that you can choose this way." But don't worry, I'm never stingy with my own people. Louyang! ”

Lou Yang, who was named by name, nodded at the moment, took two steps forward, and handed a stack of thick Huaxia Bank silver tickets in his hand to Fang Jiugui.

"This is a 500,000 silver ticket, which can be redeemed at any time in the capital. But soon, Huaxia Bank will open to the north, and you will be able to access it at any time at that time. And these are the funds for your activities, but anyone you identify as knowledgeable people can be wooed and helped. If you don't have enough money, send me a message at any time. And the more meritorious you do, money will never be a problem, and that's reassuring. ”

"Thank you, young marshal." Fang Jiugui took the thick bundle with trembling hands

Silver Ticket.

"Also, you were just preparing to be a general before, this is a little too low, this time with Liao and Western Xia, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions, I have discussed with Lord Bao, I will report your military merits, and will propose to promote you to the position of a general, when the time comes, your actions will be more independent, even if it is Wang Xin's order, if it is too harsh, you can not obey."

The military system of the Great Song Dynasty General School is a total of eight levels.

All are in command, in command, in command, in general, in general, in deputy, in preparation, in generals, in generals, and in generals.

For example, Wang Xin is just the position of commander. This is also because the status of the Northern Territory of the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the Western Territory, such as the Demolition of General Min in the Western Territory, he is the commander, and he is one level higher than Wang Xin, the general of the Northern Territory.

Fang Jiugui was promoted two levels in a row from the original preparation general to become a regular general, that is, second only to Wang Xin, that is, one level higher than Xia Yuan, Wang Xin's trusted deputy, this deputy general.

The promotion of status will be more conducive to Fang Jiugui's next work in the north.

For this matter, Su Shi didn't grind Bao Zheng, and the other party agreed. Otherwise, if you want to be promoted two levels in a row, even if you have great merit, it will be difficult to do it.

That is, he was promoted to an official and got rich, Fang Jiugui can be said to be satisfied.

When he left the military tent, he was full of ambition at this time, which gave him unlimited expectations for the future. He is also determined to help Su Shi take care of the northern border.

Su Shi accepted Fang Jiugui is to plant a nail in the north, and once King Jing ascends to the throne in the future, he can control this place as quickly as possible.

Wang Xin here saw Bao Zheng, and after receiving 20,000 prisoners, he was also ordered to let He went to the east of the northern border to prevent the Liao army from entering the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Wang Xin knew that he had been rejected by Bao Zheng and Su Shi.

The other party doesn't trust him anymore, if he stays, it will just be a cold face and a hot ass against others, and there is no meaning in the slightest.

Early the next morning, Wang Xin left with the army, including Fang Jiugui, who had become a general.

The other people in Wang Xin's department did not receive any rewards, but Fang Jiugui was promoted, what this means, as long as you are not a fool, you can see it.

Seeing that the others, including his deputy Xia Yuan, were all looking at Fang Jiugui with envy, Wang Xin just sighed in his heart.

He knew that from this moment on, the northern realm would no longer be monolithic, and his control over this place would not be the same as before. But in the face of all this, he was helpless.

I saved Wang Deyong, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate much, if I knew this, it would have been better to go to Shigu Mountain, maybe there would have been a different result.

It's just that where does life come from, so many ifs?

Wang Xin left.

All that was left was convinced of Su Shi's army, and while the cold winter was coming, Su Shi began to recruit and train troops in the time when the war would not start for a while and a half.

With enough food, the soldiers were able to enter the training ground in the best condition every day, and the combat effectiveness of the army was improving day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Money, food, clothing and weapons are not a problem, and everything is carried out very smoothly, which makes Bao Zheng, the current person in charge of the northern border, very satisfied, but he felt that he had brought Su Shi alone, so he waited

So he brought thousands of troops and horses, and he was also happy.
