"Interesting, really interesting!"

Looking at the newspaper and the official documents, what made Su Zhe speechless was that Zhang Zhe was actually dealing with official documents while drinking, if it was an ordinary official document, Su Zhe didn't want to talk to Zhang Kai, a senior, about this.

But the problem is that Zhang Kai is dealing with major military affairs.

The major affairs of the country lie in worship and war.

It can be said that for a country, there is nothing important other than sacrifice and war. Anyone who takes these two things lightly doesn't end well.

Su Zhe, an old man, couldn't see such a thing the most, coughed a few times one after another, and said to Zhang Ji: "Brother Qianfu, what do you see?" ”

"Questions?"

Zhang Ji was slightly stunned, his reaction was a little naïve, it seemed that he had reached the point of being slightly drunk, this state Su Zhe was too familiar, his second brother Su Shi often wrote brilliant poems and articles in this state, but more often, he did stupid things that made people cry and laugh. And when you wake up, you forget about it.

Zhang Qi has such a character, no wonder he can become a good friend with his second brother.

Sure enough, under Su Zhe's stunned gaze, Zhang Ji began to say stupid things, at least Su Zhe thought so: "Ziyou, I really envy you, no, I envy your second brother Zizhan for finding a good apprentice, and in time, he will become a great talent in the country." Li Kui, this little guy is not very old, but he is bold and angry, as long as he is given a chance, he can always make people startled. ”

Su Zhe smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "Is this a good thing?" ”

But Su Shi thinks Li Kui is good, and even Zhang Ji thinks Li Kui is good, although the former is very unreliable in Su Zhe's eyes, but as his second brother, he is unreliable, and he can only talk behind closed doors with his own family. The latter, Su Zhe used to think it was very reliable! Why do you think Li Kui is good?

Does he think Li Kui is not a big deal?

Is there something wrong with me, or is Zhang Ji wrong?

Su Zhe will not doubt it in other places, but in terms of looking at people, Zhang Ji is unique. What is particularly commendable is that Zhang Kai is neither a reformer nor a conservative, and no one supports him. But whether it is a reformer or a conservative, they need to reuse Zhang Kai. This is the confidence and heritage of being a top talent.

But to say that Li Kui is a talent, Su Zhe believes that after all, he can be a jinshi, no matter how he is selected, he is a talent. But if you want to say that you are a great talent of the country, Su Zhe really didn't see it.

Li Kui's path to development is very peculiar, snowflake salt, hooked up with Liu Baosheng, and then got in touch with Concubine Xian, and finally the emperor regarded Li Kui as his own family. This route is definitely a shortcut to the traitorous route for thousands of years. When others take the route of relatives, it should always be something after adulthood, right? But Li Kui, he started to lay out at the age of fourteen, in Su Zhe's opinion, at such a young age, people who began to think about this kind of thing are bad seeds, villains with bad stomachs.

The brain is good, but the mind is not right.

Just by one point, Su Zhe disliked Li Kui.

As for the means and talents, Su Zhe didn't see it.

Li Kui's time as an official is too short, and in the court, the person who can talk to Li Kui the most is the old man Su Song.

Old man Su Song is an old man, or Su Zhe's predecessor, and he has a lot of grace for his juniors. But even so, Su Zhe felt that Old Man Su Song's government affairs level was only a little bit better than Wang Qi's. Not to mention Wang Jue's level, the famous Prime Minister of the Holy Decree, the three most famous sentences are: "Please Holy Decree!" ”

"The decree has been taken!"

"Decree!"

At this level, he can also be the prime minister, and he is very maverick in the talent-rich Song Dynasty.

What makes people feel incredible is that Wang Jue's position as prime minister is still very stable.

Su Song's level of government affairs is a little stronger than Wang Qi's, which is very revealing. Only Su Song has made great achievements in mechanics and astronomical observation, but this talent will not be valued among the scholars, but because of this talent, it will be considered by other scholars to be not doing their jobs. But Li Kui and Old Man Su Song can talk very well, and the two of them also jointly designed a self-striking bell.

Although the bell tower in the imperial city is still under construction, it does not let the people of the Great Song Dynasty feel the shock of insight into heaven and earth. But the grandfather clock has already been made through the Taishi Bureau, and the powerful people in the capital have also made reservations, and some have even taken it home to show off. Convenience is convenience, but Li Kui's talent is not recognized by Su Zhe.

The devil is crooked, but not so. But it always gave Su Zhe a feeling of not doing his job.

In addition, Li Kui also stirred up the situation of Empress Dowager Xiang's monopoly on the harem, Su Zhe was quite displeased with Li Kui's impression, and believed that Li Kui was a civil official scum who was good at management, bold and reckless, and did not do his job.

Su Zhe was noncommittal about Zhang Qi's evaluation of Li Kui, in his opinion, his brother saw Li Kui's surface and was confused by it.

When passing by Hancheng, Lu Dafang had been waiting for many days.

Repeated derogatory remarks and the urging of the imperial court made Lu Dafang have to choose between resigning and bowing his head. In the end, Lu Dafang still chose to bow his head. If he really resigns, he will have no chance at all.

In the face of Lu Dafang, Zhang Ji restrained a lot. Zhang Qi was able to preside over the war in the northwest and Western Xia, and Lü Dafang's support was very important. Otherwise, if he didn't have the ability, even if Lu Dafang promoted him, Shan could only bring humiliation on himself in the end. Zhang Kai won such an honor, or the withdrawal of his ability. The former boss, now the lonely person, Zhang Qi has reined in the out-of-the-box part of his personality, at least he doesn't want to stimulate Lu Dafang.

"Enxiang, you have seen Li Kui, what is the difference between a close view?"

After Zhang Qi was polite, he directly asked Lu Dafang about his impression of Li Kui.

Speaking of which, after Hao Sui, Li Kui, and Gao Yu entered the northwest, the first person to be frightened by them was Lu Dafang. If it weren't for the ancestral shrine in Lantian County, maybe he would have escaped with Hao Sui that day. Where is there a forbidden army on the march, the main general who makes himself look like a bandit army. But Li Kui did just that, not only did he do it, but the soldiers did not dare to rebel, especially Li Kui was not the main general of this army, and the actual main general was Gao Yu. But the strange thing is that Gao Yu disciplined the soldiers, and the soldiers had complaints, but Li Kui looked at him, and everyone's grievances disappeared. This made Lu Dafang very curious about Li Kui.

But it's just curiosity, after all, Lu Dafang has a lot of bad luck, and he doesn't have the time to care about Li Kui.

Zhang Qi's question made Lu Dafang fall into the original memories again, Li Kui's character is not easy to say, and he can't see through it, but the ability to control the army makes him amazed: "Although Lu doesn't know about military affairs, seeing Li Kui makes people feel nervous." It is like a tiger coming down the mountain in the mountains and forests, although it does not move its claws and fangs, it has the ability to tear cattle and sheep overnight. It stands to reason that the soldiers and generals in front of the palace are all arrogant and arrogant, and they have no way to discipline them unless they are the children of the nobles. But in Li Kui's hands, these people are all obedient, like sheep. But in front of Li Kui, it was a sheep, but Lu could feel that as long as Li Kui gave an order, this group of sheep on weekdays would become tigers. This is what Lu is puzzled about. ”

"It's kind of interesting, but what Eun Xiang sees should be the method of subduing people with force." Zhang Qi thought about it and gave an evaluation.

Lu Dafang lowered his head and pondered, as if he was talking to himself: "Descend people with force? But what's the point? ”

"There are no more than three kinds of discipline in the army, to lure people with profit, to convince people with virtue, and to subdue people with strength, these three are the way to be commander-in-chief."

"At that time, Han Xin was a method of seducing people with profit. The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. In order to gather people, it can become a mountain river in an instant. But this prestige gathers quickly, and it disperses just as quickly. This is also why Han Xin has more soldiers, the better, but in the end he ended up bowing to Weiyang Palace. ”

"Moreover, it is to convince people with virtue, and Liu Xuande buys people's hearts with benevolence and righteousness, which is the truth; The theory of benevolence and righteousness cares about the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people, and it is the foundation of the king. Liu Xuande is countless higher than others on the way to invite people's hearts. This is also Liu Bei's repeated defeats and battles, which is why there are always people and soldiers who take refuge. ”

"In the end, it is to surrender people with strength, brave and invincible, the hegemony of the overlord of Western Chu, it is based on this, the overlord is undefeated, and the iron army does not retreat. Li Kui's method is to use force to surrender people, whether it is a soldier in the army, or a general, his obsession and worship of force are almost absolute. In addition, Li Kui has an aura that other generals do not have, and he is still a serious jinshi and the first generation, a little worse than the old man, but not much worse...... Haha......"

Zhang Qi was amused by his own words as he spoke, of course, his opinion was absolutely correct. Li Kui's subduing of the soldiers under Gao Yu was actually killing a tiger, and it was with his bare hands.

Just this time, the soldiers from the Beijing camp who came from the capital were scared one by one, and they didn't even dare to look at Li Kui on weekdays, let alone sing against Li Kui. Anyway, in this group of people under Li Kui's command, Li Kui believes everything he says. Even if Li Kui said that the duck kicked the mule to death, everyone would rush to say that they saw it with their own eyes.

Zhang Qi's words have to say that they shocked Lu Dafang and Su Zhe greatly, especially Su Zhe, he actually didn't know much about Li Kui. It's just out of prejudice that he deliberately avoided all the news of Li Kui.

Hearing it from Zhang Qi's mouth, Su Zhe was suspicious in his heart: "Could it be that I saw Li Kui wrong?" ”

He saw Li Kui as a traitor, and also determined that Li Kui was a traitor. Moreover, everything Li Kui did was done by traitors, without explanation.

On the contrary, it was Lu Dafang who came to his senses. He has observed Li Kui at close range, and he has also seen Li Kui's military training, don't look at Lu Dafang's bad use of soldiers, but after all, he is a person who has been a prime minister, and his vision and judgment are still there. Especially when he was in office, he also tapped such a great talent as Zhang Qi, so he naturally has unique insights.

Lu Dafang gave Zhang Kai some official documents that had been sorted out recently, copies of Yan Yanlu's request for help, and the direction of the Western Xia march from all over the country.

Only then did he entrust: "There is a husband and brother, and now it is time to take the road that Zihou walked back then." ”

Su Zhe hesitated for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Wei Zhong, Brother Yi seems to have the idea of summoning you into the court, but for the time being, because the Fa Chang faction has just come to the court, in order to stabilize Zihou and the others, he agreed to belittle the elder brother." Brother might as well make plans early, now that there are internal and external troubles, Zihou seems to be unable to control it. ”

Zhang Dian has indeed lost control of the court.

It was Cai Bian who absolutely supported Zhang Dan, but he was alone. The grass on the wall seems to be very dissatisfied with Li Qingchen, and Li Qingchen and Zhang Dian have a gap again, in the long run, the court will inevitably argue endlessly, Zhao Xu out of stability, I am afraid that he has to use conservatives.

Lu Dafang thought that Su Zhe was comforting him, and sighed: "Ziyou, don't be relieved as a brother." Brother Wei did have a fault, he gave in to the Western Xia back then, and Hehuang lost again, resulting in the current chaos in the northwest. If my brother didn't support Junshi back then, I'm afraid it wouldn't be what it is now. ”

Faced with Lu Dafang's guilt, Su Zhe was speechless.

It's really hard to say who was wrong and who was right back then. The Empress Dowager Xuanren is a woman, not all women in the world are as crazy as the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, a woman has dominated the court for decades, and has repeatedly launched attacks on the Great Song Dynasty, which is incredible. But for Empress Dowager Gao, if she has to start wars to stabilize the court, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Xuanren will not be able to face huge pressure.

After the farewell, Lu Dafang stayed in Hancheng for a day, then left the northwest and began his road of derogation.

Su Zhe originally thought that after studying the situation of the battle between the two sides, Zhang Qi would immediately set off for Yanyan Road, and even arrived directly in Yan'an Mansion to take over Lu Huiqing's command in Yan'an Mansion.

But what he didn't expect was that after Zhang Qi stretched his waist, he said to Su Zhe: "Ziyou, do you want to go to Yan'an Mansion?" ”

"I ......"

It was not his fault that Su Zhe could not fight, he had never been in contact with war. But he is also an extremely smart person, and he can hear from Zhang Ji's voiceover that Zhang Ji wants to make trouble.

Don't!

If you want to talk about the Su brothers, the biggest difference between the two is that Su Shi has a detached personality, he doesn't like spotless things, he likes surprises. But Su Zhe has a steady personality and can't accept the unpredictable unknown, and it is difficult to accept unforeseen variables. Hearing Zhang Qi's words, his heart fell down suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qianfu, we have already said before, when Liu Yannian comes, we will immediately rescue Yan'an Mansion!" ”

"Is there one?" Zhang Qi's stunned tone seemed to be about to repay the debt, but seeing that Su Zhe's tears were about to fall, he suddenly changed his face and laughed: "Yes, that's right, Brother Wei said this." But for my brother, guess what, Brother Wei actually saw the possibility that Yan Yanlu could defend the party and attack. In Brother Wei's opinion, Yan Yanlu, no, it should be that there is no problem with the results reported by Hao Sui and Li Kui. So guess who is wrong between us? ”

"Brother Qianfu, it's time for this, don't let me guess." Su Zhe walked a few steps closely, stopping Zhang Qi from leaving, and insisted that Zhang Qi come according to the rescue method originally discussed.

That is, Liu Yannian's 30,000 army directly pulled to Yanyan Road to relieve the siege of Yan'an Mansion.

But Zhang Qi didn't want to do anything at this time, he rarely got upright, picked out a few important newspapers and explained to Su Zhe: "Ziyou, now Yulin, Qingzhou, and Yan'an Mansion have all been attacked by the army of the party people. There are many soldiers in Yulin, and it is difficult for the party members to bargain for a while. Yan'an Mansion now has an army of 50,000 party items, even if Liu Yannian is allowed to take the people and horses, it is only on par with the party items. But if you look at the direction of Gyeongju, this is an opportunity! ”

Su Zhe's eyes widened, looking left and right, and he couldn't see where the opportunity was.

Zhang Qi smiled, of course he knew that Su Zhe didn't understand the mystery, but it was enough for him to understand, and pointed to a point on the map and said to Su Zhe: "Ziyou, look here." The deployment of Gyeongju is the same when the old man was in the northwest, and it is more than enough to deal with the ordinary looting of the party members, and now the party people are not enough to loot, there is no military rations, we just need to sneak around Liu Yannian's army and cut off this back road, and the 70,000 party troops in Gyeongju are the turtles in the urn of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Oh yes!"

Hearing that the 70,000 army that could annihilate the party members in one fell swoop, Su Zhe was not calm, which was equivalent to cutting off the right hand of the party members at once. The party is already small, and once there is no such 70,000 troops, the country of Western Xia will be in chaos. But he didn't understand why Zhang Qi had to explain to him in such detail, and suddenly, an ominous premonition came up from his heart, and he asked: "Brother Qianfu, it won't be so simple!" ”

"That's it!" Zhang Qi cracked his mouth and smiled: "Please also ask Ziyou to help, give Lu Huiqing an order, and stick to March!" ”

"I-"

Su Zhe suddenly felt suffocated by a sledgehammer in his chest, he really stood up and slapped Zhang Kai to death, this order was given, Su Zhe had to bear all the heavy responsibility!

Su Zhe's eyes looked at Zhang Qi from big brother, to good man, and finally to a bad guy...... It's just that what he didn't expect was that this day came so quickly.
