"You kid is Li Kui?"

Zhang Qi knew Li Kui, and with Su Shi's character, a little bit of novelty had to be shared with others. Of course, sometimes it's a lesson, for example, he eats something disgusting, and then the whole person is not good. But this kind of lesson only became a reason for him to persuade others to write letters to others, and the fun of using the post station of the imperial court to send friends to friends is really not as good as Su Shi.

Li Kui is one of the few cards that Su Shi can show off over the years.

He is like an old child, with a piece of cane sugar, and he has to be embarrassed in front of his friends, so it is really difficult for him to hold back and not say it.

"Old-timer, do you know the kid?"

Li Kui was helpless, facing an old man like Zhang Qi, he had a high rank and strong ability. And his personality is out-of-the-box, he doesn't care about seniority at all, he can only follow Zhang Kai's temperament. He didn't even guess that if he annoyed Zhang Qi, the little old man would sue one by one, which would give Li Kui a headache.

"Hahaha...... Boy, the old man has heard that you have been for several years, and now I have only seen you, and it is really extraordinary. After speaking, he stretched out his skinny paws and wanted to pat Li Kui's shoulder. But the height difference between them is a bit big, Zhang Ji stood on tiptoe, and didn't pat Li Kui's shoulder, the old man was a little unhappy, pouted his beard and glared at luck.

Li Kui is a big man in Qingzhou, and he is also a leader, but Zhang Qi is a southerner, and his height is already thinner, and the two stand together, there is a difference between a watermelon and a melon.

seemed to be saying to Li Kui: "Boy, dare to be disrespectful to the old man? ”

Li Kui had no choice but to bend down, which made Zhang Qi happy as he wished: "Good boy, good boy!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ji picked it up in his arms. After a long time, he didn't take out anything, which made Zhang Ji's face a little unbearable, and he said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, I forgot to bring a greeting gift, and I will definitely make up for it in the future."

When Zhang Qi said this, he obviously regarded Li Kui as a junior, and did not regard Li Kui's identity as an official at all. This kind of practice is not common in relatively cautious officialdom, anyway, Li Kui looks at Zhang Qi very well, this one is much easier to deal with than his uncle and ancestor.

If you can cooperate with Zhang Qi in the northwest, you will definitely be much stronger than Su Zhe.

How did Su Zhe know that Li Kui had long disliked him and didn't want it, and after seeing Zhang Qi, he wanted to kick him away.

"The old man is a senior, how can there be a reason to give gifts to the younger generation, it should be the younger generation to honor the senior." Li Kui politely said.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qi felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded to Li Kui: "Okay! ”

Li Kui was stunned, what does it mean to be 'good'! He really didn't prepare a gift for Zhang Qi, but then suddenly, he smiled: "There is a way to be a glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine." ”

"You're going to give me a glow-in-the-dark cup?" Zhang Qi knew that Li Kui was very rich, it was no secret, anyway, Su Shi had already enjoyed the beautiful scenery and manor of Taohuawu on the edge of Taihu Lake. But these are not very attractive to Zhang Qi, but the luminous cup seems to be very rare, right? He can use it as a family heirloom.

Li Kui had a little headache, he didn't say that he wanted to send the luminous cup, he just seized a lot of Liang Yishu's carry-on things on the battlefield. Wine is one of them, and of course there is orchid.

Orchids have exotic styles, three-dimensional facial features, and a concave and convex figure, which is very different from the Central Plains women.

This kind of different style made many generals in the Tiger Battalion greedy, and they secretly begged Li Kui for it. The main thing is that there are only two orchids, which are not easy to distinguish. Li Kui originally wanted to send Su Zhe, but Su Zhe thought that Li Kui regarded him as a womanizer and lost his temper. Lu Huiqing is even more ruthless to herself, she doesn't pursue anything, she just wants to be the prime minister.

Any shortcomings that might become someone attacking him made him castrate.

Seeing that he was about to smash his hand, the key was that the two orchids looked at him very wrongly, as if they wanted to empty the white wolf and earn his boy body.

It is a scourge to keep it in your hands, and if you send it out, the people below will not suffer from widowhood and unevenness, and you will simply give it to the big people who can't afford to offend anyone. Zhang Qi is an ideal object.

Li Kui stubbornly said: "Amber is like gold, and the lotus root arm pillows Qiongtai." There's no better match in the world than wine and orchids, and if you like it, I'll send it to you tonight. ”

Sure enough, Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Amazing! ”

"It's more real than real gold."

Li Kui nodded affirmatively.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Zhang Qi can become friends with Su Shi, can this curiosity be smaller? He was born in the Zhang family in Fujian, and he was born as a son-in-law, what rare things have he not seen? But orchids are indeed rare in the Great Song Dynasty. Mainly after the Silk Road in the Western Regions was cut off by the Western Xia, the Hu caravans from the Western Regions were almost extinct. On the contrary, in Fujian, because there are many Arab merchants, they always bring Persian girls. Zhang Qi wanted to know, what is the difference between this orchid and the Persian girl?

"Renjie, don't be unreasonable!"

"Renjie, don't joke in the army!"

After Zhang Kai appeared, Lu Huiqing and Su Zhe both stood up. But I didn't expect Zhang Qi's interest to completely fall on Li Kui, and he didn't have the appearance of catching up with him at all.

Lu Huiqing won't talk about it, his relationship with Zhang Kai is average. But Su Zhe and Zhang Qi are still good, I didn't expect Zhang Kai to be so interested in a junior directly.

Of course, everything has a cause and an effect.

Su Zhe could guess that Zhang Qi was interested in Li Kui, mostly because of Li Kui's high-minded talk before. Some people, talking about it is just bragging, and some people, because of their outstanding talents, say things that are not boundary, but there are also people who are convinced. Although Li Kui did not become the latter in Su Zhe's mind, it was because he was too young and had not experienced the precipitation of time.

In time, there is no limit to what can be accomplished.

But after all, Li Kui has only been in the officialdom for less than a year, and such a promotion of Li Kui is bound to make Li Kui the target of public criticism. There is a way that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. In the capital, Li Kui has the support of the emperor, and the support of high-ranking officials in the court such as Taishi Liu and Su Song, so he must not worry about anyone being jealous. But in the Northwest, is this really good?

"Brother Jifu, Ziyou, it's too late for my brother, I feel ashamed, please forgive me!"

Zhang Qi let go of Li Kui at this time, and turned to Su Zhe and Lu Huiqing politely. In officialdom, seniority is very important, Lu Huiqing is one subject earlier than Su Zhe, and although Zhang Qi is late in the Jinshi, he entered the officialdom earlier than anyone else. Who made his uncle the prime minister at that time?

Of course, Zhang Qizhong was late in Jinshi, and he gave up the imperial examination because his father Zhang was in prison that year, and turned to redress his father's grievances. This is a waste of business, otherwise, with his talent and learning, he was a famous handsome man in the Zhang family and Zhang Dian when he was young, how could he lose in the imperial examination?

As the landlord, Lu Huiqing naturally got up and greeted: "Brother Qianfu, you can come, Lu is already grateful." Now that the northwest is in trouble, the arrival of the non-quality husband and brother is unable to turn the tide. This is a great blessing for the country and the people. ”

It is precisely because of the average relationship that Lu Huiqing will give a high hat when he opens his mouth.

Zhang Qi was noncommittal about this, but Li Kui, who was sitting next to him, squeezed his eyebrows and said secretly: "You kid is not honest, your ancestor bragged in the letter every day about how honest you are, but I didn't expect that the army would still bring wine and orchids." is also a young man's admiration, when the old man first entered the officialdom, he was also a high-profile existence. ”

"Uncle, I didn't bring it, it was captured on the battlefield, and the people below fought for it, and in the end, because things are scarce and there are few people, it is difficult to divide. It was sent to me. Although Li Kui is not the main general, his role on the battlefield is more important than that of the main general. Whether it is Gao Yu's subordinates or Cheng Zhijie's subordinates, they all treat Li Kui as their boss.

Coupled with his status as a superintendent of the army, the power to distribute the spoils of war naturally fell on him. But who knows, the meat buns beat the dog, and there is no return.

In addition, Cheng Zhijie was afraid of guilt and did not dare to accept orchids, so Li Kui had to stay by his side temporarily.

Zhang Kai definitely doesn't believe it! Wine aside, orchid? Who else can be the person who can keep an orchid in the army, except for the commander in the army?

Zhang Qi did not receive the battle report from Dunyanlu, and thought that the Western Xia army in Dunyanlu was just retreating. Since it is a retreat, the priority is naturally orderly, how could the boss's personal maid fall into the hands of Li Kui?

can even take it with him when he fights, and he is obviously the beloved of the Western Xia coach.

How could he be captured by the Song army?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi's heart itched, he wanted to pull Li Kui and couldn't wait to ask, what happened in this Yan Yan Road, to be exact, the battle of Jinmingzhai?

Lu Huiqing is a little helpless, Zhang Qi's character has never been a gang, and he only socializes with friends who are compatible with him. In addition, he never got involved in party disputes, and in the period of Shenzong and Yuanyou, it seemed out of place. If it weren't for his qualifications, he would not have been recommended by Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren and other important ministers of the DPRK to go to the northwest.

Zhang Kai, who has never had a military career, has opened up his first-class handsome ability since he came to the northwest, which is also an accident that surprising everyone.

Especially Zhang Qi seems to have a warm chat with Li Kui, but Zhang Qi has his own ideas.

In the hall, one is Su Zhe, the backbone of the conservatives, the other is the diehard of the reformers, or the abandoned diehard Lu Huiqing, these two people got together and talked about the war, the strategy against the Western Xia, how is it possible, don't be stupid, there will be no result at all. Zhang Qi didn't want to waste his spittle, but Li Kui aroused his curiosity.

was boasted by Su Shi to the sky, based on Zhang Qi's understanding of his old friend, this boasted person is most likely not a talent, but he is definitely an interesting person.

And Zhang Kai likes to deal with interesting people.

Lu Huiqing had no choice but to interrupt Zhang Kai's curiosity about Li Kui and said, "Brother Qianfu, now many fortresses and villages in my Yan'an Mansion are in the hands of the Western Xia people, and our army is insufficient and unable to recover them. Brother Qianfu came, I don't know how many troops he led? ”

"Thirty thousand horses." Zhang Qi said lightly.

It's just that letting him help Yan'an Mansion to subdue the fortress and the stockade is a thankless job, and it depends on Liu Yannian's meaning. Zhang Qi didn't want to pat his chest and make decisions for Liu Yannian. just glanced at Li Kui, and then asked Lu Huiqing: "Brother Jifu, listen to Renjie, Jinmingzhai Xixia retreat is another mystery, can you tell me as a brother." ”

"It should be, it should be." Lu Huiqing chuckled in his heart, he didn't tell Huanqing Road the news of Jinmingzhai's victory because he was in trouble, or because he had forgotten. Mainly for other reasons, Yan Yanlu defeated the Western Xia army, but the problem is that there are not many troops in Yan Yanlu. It stands to reason that after the victory of Yan Yanlu, he should help Huanqing Road to repel the Western Xia army on the West Road.

But this matter was dragged down by Lu Huiqing.

The casualties on Yan Yanlu were not small, and there were not many troops that could send troops. In addition, Lu Huiqing is selfish, and Yan Yan Road is his territory, and there are more troops on Huanqing Road than on Yan Yan Road, and there are also reinforcements from Liu Yannian, so it is not of much use to go or not. So, he deliberately reported the great victory of Jin Mingzhai to Huanqing Road, but only reported it to the imperial court.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qi didn't know, and he also met an unreliable Chen Qi on the way, which made this old man with a soft heart worry.

Lu Huiqing drooped her eyelids and said to herself: "In the Battle of Jinmingzhai, although my Yanyan Road defeated the Western Xia army, it suffered heavy casualties, especially the Beijing camp that defeated the Dangxiang army in the field, and the casualties reached about half. Although the soldiers have the heart to serve the country, they have no choice but to be undefeated, ashamed, ashamed! ”

"Defeat the Western Xia army in a field battle?" Zhang Qi didn't bother with Lu Huiqing's careful thoughts, but got up excitedly and said, "Who commanded this battle?" No, Zhang Yu is more than successful, but not enough; It is difficult for other generals of Yan Yanlu to have the strength of field battles, Brother Jifu, I don't know if I can introduce one or two commanders for my brother. ”

Lu Huiqing finally interrupted Zhang Qi and Li Kui's whispering, turned around, and after walking around, he found that his sense of existence was really low.

Of course, he also understood Zhang Kai's attitude. This person is from the Zhang family, and in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, no one needs to give face, which is the confidence of the Zhang family's super-first-class family. In addition, Zhang Qi's hard work over the years has been in the northwest, so he will naturally be particularly concerned about those who can lead the army.

Su Zhe opened his mouth and smiled: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

"You!"

From Zhang Ji's eyes, Su Zhe was quite humiliated for no reason. Xin said: Although I am not good at fighting in the Xing army, I have no means to strategize. But I am still very good at analyzing historical strategies, so let's learn about the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms".

Unfortunately, he also knows that it is useless to talk too much. I had to point to Li Kui and said: "He is the supervisor of this battle, and at the same time, he also commanded the battle on behalf of the general Cheng Zhijie, and rejected the more than 40,000 Western Xia troops with 7,000 people, defeated them head-on, and killed the Iron Harrier General. The captives beheaded nearly 30,000 party troops, and if the hostage brother has something to ask, he can ask. ”

"Little friend!"

Zhang Qi looked at Li Kui with burning eyes.

Lu Huiqing and Su Zhe recognized at the same time that there must be no big problem with this record.

But Li Kui had a feeling of being targeted by an old wolf, and his heart was empty. If it was a beast in the mountains and forests, he was not afraid, but he was afraid that the other party was an elder, and he was still a very unserious elder.

Sure enough, Zhang Qi took Li Kui's hand, and said with hatred: "Little friend, the gift you gave to the old man, the old man is very satisfied." Come and don't be rude, the old man will change with you. The old man has two Persian girls in his house in the capital, and he will never let the little friend suffer. ”
