Chapter 607: Bullying the Old Man
The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and once he wants to start a war, almost nine out of ten are bewitched.
The other one naturally felt humiliated.
But since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, no foreign country has dared to take advantage of the time to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to embarrass the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. But Zhao Xu has always longed for the land of the river, so this fire must not have been created out of nothing, but someone deliberately ignited it.
The person who lit the fire of Emperor Shenzong before was Wang Shao.
Without Wang Shao's "Pingrong Policy", Emperor Shenzong would not have peeked at the Qingtang tribe who had made friends with the Great Song Dynasty and thought of annexing it by force. Of course, it is impossible to have the pioneering work of opening the Great Song Xi River.
It can be said that it was Wang Shao who ignited the heart of the Divine Sect to expand its territory.
And the person who ignited the fire in Zhao Xu's heart was none other than You Shixiong, without his "An Biance", even if Zhao Xu looked forward to one day being able to achieve the same feats as his father, he would not have just ascended the throne and set his sights on the land of the river that rebelled and broke away from the Great Song Dynasty.
According to the means of subduing the frontier, after the minister offers advice, he will definitely be sent to the local area to investigate. Those who are in high positions, or those who hold a noble official position, will be entrusted with important tasks, such as Xuanfu envoys. Wang Shao is Qin Fenglu who came in this capacity. But You Shixiong was almost, his official position was too small, and he was suddenly promoted to the number one in the Qin Fenglu Army, which was a bit excessive, so he could only be a Zhizhou first.
Soon after You Shixiong presented "An Biance", he was appointed as the governor of Qinfeng Road and Hezhou, which bordered the land of Hehuang.
But he is still much worse than his Wang Shao.
First of all, he is a true civil official.
Why do you say that you are a real civil official?
He can't be like Wang Shao, put on his armor and charge into battle, and he doesn't have the ability to kill the enemy chieftain. At the same time, Wang Shao has Wang Anshi as his backing, and his support is stronger than that of Zhang Dun. Of course, Zhang Dian is no worse than Wang Anshi's execution, but he has to consume too much experience in internal friction and external fighting.
So much so that You Shixiong wanted to get enough support, but he couldn't do it.
In addition, the most important thing is that Wang Shao is the top three in the palace examination. And You Shixiong is a little transparent at the end of the palace examination list. Nature is not taken seriously.
After he entered Hezhou, he only did training in the box army. But he can't guarantee the combat effectiveness of these soldiers. Now, he rushed to Qingtang City with the family money he had saved so hard, as if he was dreaming. At the same time, he couldn't tell if it was a good dream or a nightmare.
According to his plan, three years later, the Great Song Dynasty turned defense into offense, and attacked Qingtang City within five years.
Suddenly, the three-year plan was scrapped, and the five-year period also jumped by, which made him quite uncomfortable.
Originally, he thought that he couldn't compare to Wang Shao, but he was not the same as he was back then, as long as he had time, he still had a chance.
Of course, he still had to make way for Western Xia.
After all, in the past fifty years of the Great Song Dynasty, the biggest enemy was Western Xia, not the Qingtang Gulao Kingdom entrenched in the land of Hehuang.
Unexpectedly, he had been planning for many years and had just started to prepare, but he was still preempted.
is like an older man who has been staring at the girl for a long time, planning how to invite a matchmaker, how to make a dowry, how to marry into the door, and when he is waiting for him to act, he finds that the girl he likes has been preempted to sleep.
Especially the other party's age, not a few years older than his grandson, is it annoying?
What's even more annoying is that he is at the same level as him in officialdom.
Your Majesty still likes young men after all!
With the helplessness in his heart, You Shixiong greeted Li Kui: "Li Zhizhou, less than three months after entering Qinfeng Road, he commanded tens of thousands of troops to besiege Qingtang City, which is really the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"The old-timers have worked hard, and the meager work of non-subordinate officials may be compared." Of course, Li Kui, the name of You Shixiong, had heard a lot of things about this when he was an official in the imperial city. This is Wang Shao's subordinate when he recovered the land of Hehuang, and he is the seed that Wang Shao left in Qinfeng Road.
It is not admirable, but the magistrate has the advantages of the magistrate, and there is no black and white filth of the officials in the capital.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, You Shixiong showed an eager mentality and wanted to see the army.
Li Kui took him to the garrison of the Feilian Army, the war horses were strong, the soldiers were heroic, and even the food was a first-class luxury in the Great Song Army, and there was meat at once. Think about the people and horses he brought, the heroic sorrow of the tour master comes from it, and the box army he brought is simply called Hanako!
"You seniors." After all, age is in front of him, and he is a Zhizhou like Li Kui, so it is always right for Li Kui to simply call the officialdom seniors.
After all, You Shixiong was thirty years earlier than him. Fortunately, You Shixiong did not rely on the old and sell the old temper, and he was quite easy to get along with.
However, he was much more eager than Li Kui to recover the land of Hehuang. Li Kui didn't care, it was because he knew that the land of Hehuang was just a disease of scabies on the body of the Great Song Dynasty, and no matter how much trouble he made, it would not become a problem of elbows and armpits. After all, the land of Hehuang is a narrow strip of land that cannot be entered, and only a few areas can grow crops, which cannot be compared with the Hetao of Western Xia.
But for Yau Shixiong, this is his lifelong belief.
Under Wang Shao's command, he proved step by step that the Great Song Dynasty regime occupied the land of Hehuang, and then watched the land of Hehuang be lost.
This kind of heartache is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
You Shixiong didn't care about the wind banquet, he was more nervous about breaking the city, when and how to break the city?
The point is, will he still be able to share the credit when the time comes?
According to You Shixiong's plan, the Great Song Dynasty dealt with the Western Xia first, this is no way, these years the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty successively fought on Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road, the two most important military towns in the northwest, Mubo Town and Jinming Village, repaired every year, destroyed every year.
At this time, Da Song didn't have the heart to deal with the Qingtang people at all.
But Li Kui went to Western Xia, and the high-spirited Western Xia Emperor died, and the Queen Mother also died, and then Western Xia wilted......
The Great Song Dynasty lost the goal of Western Xia, and the Great Song monarchs who had freed up their hands immediately set their eyes on Qingtang.
After that, Cai Jing deliberately coaxed the Qingtang people and caused a war.
It's good to fight!
Only by fighting a war can you have a chance to make meritorious contributions!
You Shixiong was a jinshi thirty years ago, and he achieved the official position of Zhizhou. According to the civil official promotion system of the Great Song Dynasty, You Shixiong is the lowest achievement among the Jinshi, and the rank is the official position that cannot be smaller, and then the unlucky egg among the unlucky ones whose political performance has always been very bad.
Now the officials in the court, the first and second grade officials are all Jinshi who have been around the same time as him. And he had just changed into a five-grade crimson official robe. If you want to say that the Jinshi who is in the same department as him, of course, there are also unlucky people who are not much bigger than Zhizhou now. But they fell from a great height and were degraded. High-ranking officials have also seen it, and important ministers in the court have also done it.
But You Shixiong is different, he is one step at a time, and he has never been a senior official in more than five grades for thirty years. Most of the official ranks are below the seventh rank.
This career encounter makes people cry and listen sadly!
Now that Lao You has finally found an opportunity to make his name in history, at least the opportunity to be recorded in history in the Shaosheng year, and he is still about to be robbed, can he not be in a hurry?
As the oldest official on the scene, You Shixiong was placed above the first place. But where did he dare to really treat himself as a talker?
The golden roast lamb is fragrant!
It's his favorite food.
Grilled beef, full of juicy.
It's also his favorite food.
But when chewed in the mouth, the taste is as tasteless as chewing wax.
I picked up the wine cup and took a sip, because I have been an official in the cold side all the year round, so I naturally like to drink, but unfortunately the days are tight, and I don't dare to drink openly. The wine that I was reluctant to drink on weekdays is now sour when I drink it in my mouth. After the banquet, You Shixiong still didn't give up, he felt that there might be some opportunities for him to communicate with Li Kui with his heart.
Walking in the barracks, You Shixiong pretended to be a senior master, with the momentum of a big man, but he was wearing a five-grade official robe, and Li Kui, who was almost forty years younger than him, was a little sad to live to a pig and a dog: "Renjie, my Hezhou soldiers should be the ones in this battle, let my soldiers be pioneers, right?" ”
"In the siege battle, the situation of the Hezhou Xiang army is not very good. Other than that...... Don't blame the old-timers, I am ready to take Qingtang in the shortest possible time to deter Xiaoxiao. Therefore, in the battle of storming the city, the elite must be used. ”
Li Kui felt that it was a little unbearable to let the Xiang army in Hezhou go to death, but he was kind.
But You Shixiong was heartbroken, his eyes were dull and desperate, and he roared in his heart: "You are only twenty years old, what are you in a hurry!" Even robbing the old man's credit, it's simply not a son of man! ”
