Chapter 685: Liao's Choice
General Fang, Fang Jiugui, the general of the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty, and the military attache of the fourth rank of the Eight Classics.
If you want to say that the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, the military generals did not have too high status. But it also depends on where the generals who often have military power are still popular.
Fang Jiugui belongs to the military power, and he is still heavily armed. In the entire northern border, Bao Zheng is the first person in the army, Wang Xin is the second person, and he is the existence of the third person.
Fang Jiugui can come to vote, which is naturally something that makes Su Shi very happy.
But he said that in the distance, Fang Jiugui was the leader, and he came by horse. As soon as he came to Su Shi, he hurriedly dismounted, and said with a half-kneeling on the ground: "The last general, Fang Jiugui, came to report to the young marshal."
"Hehe, it's good to come, it's good to come." Su Shi's face was beaming.
I didn't wait in vain, just Fang Jiugui came alone, and it was a huge gain.
Don't look at the black cavalry and the Su family army are very capable of fighting, in fact, what they rely on is well-equipped, plus logistical support. When it comes to handsomeness, there are few people.
is like Ji Zhu, who used to be just a battalion commander of the Western Army, leading 500 foot soldiers.
Jizhu can be trained and brave enough to fight. But when it comes to the big picture, it's still a little bit worse. Fang Jiugui is different, he is not Wang Xin's henchman, and he can have such an important position in the army of the northern border, and his ability can be seen.
Su Shi is equivalent to a general with a view of the overall situation, of course, it is worth congratulating.
"The young marshal knows that there are fifty scholars who are accompanied by the last general, all of whom are knowledgeable, but they are depressed because of their poor background. After a day and a half, the ministers sent their own soldiers to look for them, and only then did they get together, and asked the young marshal to accept them."
Fang Jiugui, who was half-kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth again.
"Oh, very good, very good." Hearing that in addition to Fang Jiugui's family members and a few personal soldiers, there were also fifty scholars, Su Shi also became even happier.
He finally knew why Fang Jiugui didn't appear yesterday, and the emotional family was recruiting talents for himself.
This is the style of the general's style.
Replaced by several captains under Su Shi, they will definitely come as soon as possible, but they are only coming by themselves. It won't be as far as Fang Jiugui thought.
This shows the importance of the big picture.
Fang Jiugui saw that Su Shi wanted to set up his own door, and there were too few talents available in his hands, so he thought of sending some over, which was the joy of doing things with smart people.
Fang Jiugui came and brought available people, which made Su Shi feel that he was not waiting in vain. And when it was nearly dark in the afternoon, Shi Qianshan and Wen Yang also rushed over with some people.
Shi Qianshan is the general of Xinzhou of Su Shifeng.
Originally, he was just a farmer with some strength and some kung fu, and because he was dissatisfied with the destruction of his homeland by foreign races, he pulled a group of brothers to resist. It wasn't until I met Su Shi and was reused that I had a legal identity.
Su Shi's kindness to him is like reconstruction, knowing that Su Shi has arrived in the north and wants to set up his own door, he decided to follow Su Shi without thinking about it. The reason why he came now is also because he wants to bring more people over, and he also met many people in a day and a half.
It's just a pity that the effect is not too good. Except for the commander of the original border barracks, Wen Yang was willing to come with him, and the others politely refused.
That's normal.
It is true that Su Shi is capable, but the next thing he has to do is to betray Zhao Song.
And until now, Su Shi doesn't even have a real place to stay. It would be too risky to follow him now.
Now that the danger in the north of the three tribes has been resolved, under the rule of Bao Zheng, the people also have a basic livelihood. At this time, there is no need to risk being a thief and doing something that may lead to being cut off.
The arrival of Shi Qianshan, Wenyang and others also indicates that the defection has come to an end.
With these talents, Su Shi is already very satisfied. Until dawn the next day, they mounted their horses and ran after the main army.
Su Shi left the walled city and went straight to the Liao border in the north. After Bao Zheng learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh, he didn't know
It's right or wrong to let Su Shi leave today.
But what he knew was that he was leaving the North too.
After the court made a conclusion on Su Shi's affairs, he, a person who had a close personal relationship with Su Shi, also had the possibility of returning to the court.
And he made his own decision, and he also needed to explain it to the official family in person. As for whether he can listen to it, even Bao Zheng is bottomless.
Let's talk about Su Shi, from the city walled, all the way to the north, successively after Tianjiazhai and Wolf City, this entered the Liao realm, straight to the Liao Wuqing City.
......
Liaodu, Shangjing.
Su Shi was forced to rebel.
When the news reached Shangjing, many Liao magnates were celebrating with their crowns.
Since the rise of Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, it has really added a lot of troubles to the Liao State.
Su Shi led troops into the Liao border several times, which caused them heavy losses, so that in some places in the southern border of Liao, it is talking about Su and changing color.
Especially after the failure of the three clans to invade the Song Dynasty, some people were more worried that Su Shi would enter the Liao Realm with the support of Zhao Song and come to take revenge.
Fortunately, Zhang Jian lived up to expectations, first used a divisive strategy, and then sent Su Shi's woman to the Song Realm to force her to rebel.
Now that he has finally gotten what he wants, Zhao Song has no Su Shi, which is equivalent to one less huge threat factor, and at this moment, many Liao magnates think that the world is going to be peaceful again.
But it didn't take long for this happy day to happen, Su Shi actually passed through most of the northern land and came to the Liao realm, what was he going to do?
Is he here for revenge?
The problem is that it was Zhao Zhen who forced you against Su Shi.
It is also Zhao Zhen who wants to force your woman to kill, and our Da Liao can be described as courteous to your woman.
When he learned the news that Su Shi had gone straight to Wuqing City, Liao Xingzong hurriedly convened a court meeting to discuss Su Shi's entry.
The ministers and magnates stood on top of the main hall, and sitting on it was Yelu Zongzhen, who was nearly forty years old, but his body had been hollowed out for most of his body.
"Your Majesty, when Su Shi enters, he should gather heavy troops and surround him. Without the support of the Song Dynasty this time, it is the best time to destroy this person." The general Xiao Xiaoyou was the first to stand up and put forward a proposal to send troops.
"Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous." Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, immediately stepped forward and said, "May I ask the general, when did Su Shisan enter my Liao realm and get the support of Zhao Song?"
"Uh..." Asked by this, Xiao Xiaoyou didn't know what to say at the moment, so he had to look at Zhang Jian, who had been reinstated as the third envoy, and wanted him to stand up and speak for him.
Zhang Jian felt Xiao Xiaoyou's gaze, so he wanted to stand up one step at a time. But at this time, Xiao Hui continued to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister is not talented, his subordinates have received a letter from Su Shi, and he said that this time he is just borrowing through my Daliao land, and his real destination is to go to Goryeo."
As he spoke, Xiao Hui took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
The eunuch stepped forward, took the letter, and forwarded it to Liao Xingzong. Yelu Zongzhen opened it and read it, and sure enough, as Xiao Hui said, Su Shi was going to Goryeo by the way.
"Su Shi did say so, Zhongqing, what do you think?" Liao Xingzong did not make a decision immediately, but wanted to see the intentions of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks he can borrow the way. Su Shi went to Goryeo, obviously to find a place to stay, even if this is the case, why don't we fulfill him. In the past, the Su thieves were difficult to destroy, and that was because of their quick movements, the Su family's army was haunted, and the main force was difficult to find."
"Now Su Shi wants to find a place to stay, which is equivalent to tying a long rope to him who is free, so that he is cocooned and self-bound, and it will be much easier for my Liao army to attack in the future. Besides, now that the winter snow has fallen, the road is difficult to navigate, and it is not the time to send a large army to fight. It is better to let Su Shi go to Goryeo by the way, and when he settles down, he will be afraid of Goryeo, and then we can contact him. "King Yelu Chongyuan of Qin stepped forward and expounded his opinion.
"Your Majesty, King Qin's intentions are very good, and the minister seconded the proposal. The minister suggested that he could use this matter to discuss with Su Shi, minister
I know that he has a very secret business in his hands, and there are many good things in it. We can use this as a reason to trade with him, so that we can earn more and fill the treasury with the advantage of our geographical position." Xiao Hui followed up and spoke again.
Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Hui, as if they had discussed it a long time ago, analyzed the situation clearly in an instant, which made Zhang Jian, who was unprepared, not know what to say at this moment.
Zhang Jian attaches great importance to Su Shi in his heart, and in his opinion, he should eliminate Su Shi while his strength is still weak, even if it is worth paying the price.
But what Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Hui said does have their truth.
Now that the winter snow has fallen and the roads are difficult, this is not the time to send troops to fight.
Besides, how can Su Jiajun be so easy to get along with, how can he do it without full preparation to find trouble with them?
Speaking of trade matters, in the past, Su Shi was in Bianliang, and it was inconvenient to trade with him, but now if others come to Goryeo, it will be very close to Liao, and it will be much easier to trade.
These two are so reasonable, even if Zhang Jian can argue well, he really can't find a reason to refute it at this moment.
"Yes, the words of the two Aiqing are very much in line with my heart, and in this case, I will allow them to take advantage of the Tao and at the same time take the opportunity to talk about commercial trade. Well, leave this matter to Xiao Hui." Liao Xingzong kept nodding his head, and agreed very much with the suggestions given by the two important ministers, and the court agreed to it.
Your Majesty has made a decision, and the others are no longer good at saying anything, so they have to clasp their fists one by one and say, "Your Majesty Shengming."
Xiao Hui and Yelu Chongyuan, who were holding their fists, were very happy, no one knew that Su Shi had already sent someone to contact them, and they sent the benefits of 200,000 yuan of silver by themselves. Naturally, they had to speak for Su Shi in such a matter.
