The situation in Western Xia was unpredictable.

Li Yuanhao's proclamation as emperor caught the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty a little off guard.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhibai suggested that he should garrison troops in the northwest, and when the news of the civil strife in Western Xia came, the Great Song Dynasty immediately sent troops to fight the Western Xia people by surprise.

At that time, Zhao Zhen's heart was moved.

Who doesn't want that emperor to recover his homeland, this is a great cause that will go down in history.

It's a pity that this suggestion was later intercepted by Qin Wei.

However, the senior generals in the northwest still learned of this plan through their own channels.

In addition, some generals stationed in the northwest were frequently recalled to the capital to express their views on the Western Xia war.

The situation of the Great Song Dynasty against the Western Xia is even clearer.

Up to the king, down to the locality, everyone was holding back and wanted to engage in Western Xia.

Whether it's for meritorious service or to regain lost ground.

This time, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty had a rare tacit understanding, and temporarily abandoned the idea that the civil army was strong and the military was weak.

Although the generals want to suppress, in the face of such a good opportunity, everyone will not let go.

This hasn't been hurt by reality yet!

If they knew that in the next many years, the Great Song Dynasty would have won fewer victories and more defeats against Western Xia, and finally did not even dare to fight, what would they be like?

He was one of the generals who were dispatched.

It has been confirmed by many parties that there was no civil strife in Western Xia.

In Qin Wei's words, all this was a trap for the Tanguts.

Let's not talk about the trap or not, but the court is really hesitant now, to fight or not to fight, it's okay to say if you win, what if you lose?

Looking at the posture of Western Xia, he has been waiting for a long time to stand up for the first battle.

Da Song will become a stepping stone if he is not careful, and his face will be lost at home at that time.

……

Subsequently, Ye Shuangchou reported Di Qing's trip to Fan Lou to Zhao Zhen.

"The Great Song Dynasty won successive victories in Fuzhou and the southwest...... Your Majesty, you praised Di Qing again, the Fuzhou family is okay, after all, the Fuzhou family has the upper hand last time, and the Zhu Jimin will not be so brainless to fight for these, but ...... The breeder couldn't hold it on his face, and he also folded the door to get the lottery to say that it was in the past, but Di Qing ......"

Ye Shuangchou's narration was cold and cold.

"So it will not be polite to set up a banquet in Fan Lou, and it will definitely not be polite to ask someone to invite Di Qing, and then Qin Wei also rushed to hear the news, and brought more than ten Northern Expeditionary Army, according to Qin Wei's temperament, Fan Lou is afraid that he will use swords today."

Jealousy and hatred are Qin Wei's labels, to put it mildly, dozens of people in this guy will be avenged.

This kind of person is not a gentleman.

But Qin Wei has never regarded himself as a gentleman, he once said in person that gentlemen are all pretending, too tired!

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he sighed: "Let's fight, these martial artists are holding their breath and want to come out, it's not normal if they don't fight...... How many people did that kind of scolding take? ”

Ye Shuangchou said: "More than 20 people, all of them are fierce pawns in the northwest, and they can all be ten with one. ”

Zhang Zhibai remembered that His Majesty had asked Lu Yijian and Pang Ji to persuade him before, and the footsteps of these two would definitely not be able to catch up with Qin Wei's speed, and I am afraid that they would have already been beaten at this time.

He hesitated a little, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, I heard that those Northern Expeditionary Army have been lazy and lazy since they came back from the southwest, and Di Qing is not good at leading troops, and he runs to Qin's house all day long, and Qin is ......."

Zhang Zhibai paused, glanced at Wang Zhen next to him, and said quietly: "This kid is good there, that is, he is too unstable...... It's okay to lose, so let's teach him a lesson. ”

Wang Zhen wanted to reply a few sentences, but he felt that what Zhang Zhibai said was reasonable, and that kid should teach him a good lesson.

Zhao Zhen thought about it too.

Qin Wei has had too much credit for his recent achievements, which is not a good thing.

Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it is better to let him suffer some setbacks than to be remembered.

Ye Shuangchou said: "The army is ruthless, and it is common to break hands and feet at every turn, and it is common to kill people......

The generals are different from the generals who govern the army, the generals are constantly changing, and the subordinates are just some passers-by for him, so no matter how strict the army is, he rarely kills people.

But the generals are iron-clad generals and sergeants who run water, and their means are naturally different.

But this kind of heavy-handed way of governing the army at every turn made Zhao Zhen a little dissatisfied.

Zhang Zhibai explained: "Your Majesty, there are many arrogant people in the army, if they are not deterred, those people will not listen to orders when they are in battle. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't understand this, but he still sighed: "It's good to be punished for mistakes, do you still want to kill people, this is ...... Brutal management of the army does not bode well. ”

The Great Song Dynasty has always advocated that harmony is precious.

Zhao Zhen is also known as a generation of benevolent monarchs, so he naturally has no good impression of some brutal and ruthless methods.

At this moment, the impression in his heart directly fell below the bottom line and became a negative image of cruelty and killing.

Lao Zhang didn't expect such a reaction, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, the seed family is the mainstay in the northwest, and the means of governing the army are debatable, but you can't hurt the heart of the general!" ”

Zhao Zhen can see it.

The ministers of the court and the central government obviously have a preference for the planters, and they feel that the breeders are Confucians, and they have the power to hold the frontier, which is worth wooing.

As for the 'thieves and soldiers' in their mouths, most of the courtiers look down on them, even if you Di Qing becomes a famous general, you are still not as good as a breeder with both culture and martial arts.

That's how society is at this time.

The literati looked down on the warriors, the generals looked down on their subordinates, and the families looked down on the poor.

As a result, the morale of the army became a bubble.

A few years later, when the Liao people were beaten into dogs by the Jin people, the Great Song monarchs felt that the opportunity had come, so they raised a large army to attack, but they were beaten into dogs by the defeated army of the Liao people.

This is the iniquity that was done at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen could only shake his head and smile and said: "Zhang Qing, just admonish them a little later, they are all soldiers who serve the country, and if they can speak well, they can speak well." ”

"Your Majesty, here you are."

Ye Shuangchou did not express his opinion from beginning to end, but kept waiting.

In his opinion, who is right and who is wrong, who robs whom, can only be determined by seeing the results.

Outside, the secret agents under the command of the Imperial City Division hurriedly came.

Zhao Zhen said directly: "That kind of ruthlessness? What happened to Qin Wei? Hurry forward and talk about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhibai suddenly felt aggrieved.

Listen up!

His Majesty came up and asked Qin Wei how he was, he didn't care about the reason at all, this was a holy scroll!

No way...... Who made them no longer young, and who made them unable to help Zhao Zhen deal with trouble?

The spy came in and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Chong Yi and Di Qing are doing it indoors, and two of Chong Xu's subordinates have a broken arm and a broken sternum......

What a ruthless Di Qing!

Zhang Zhibai and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they thought of Zhi Kexing's silent appearance.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, although it was hidden, Xu Mao saw it.

It's an expression of approval.

Kind of provocation, Di Qing counterattacked, His Majesty thought that such a counterattack was appropriate.

As for what is the Great Confucian, in the eyes of the emperor, there is only a distinction between likes and dislikes, what is the Great Confucian?

The Great Confucianism of the Great Song Dynasty is everywhere, and the emperor is not bad for this thing.

He seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just said...... Co-authoring and severely punishing subordinates is brutal, but Di Qing breaking people's hands and feet has become what should be done.

Everyone has a preference, but Zhao Zhen's preference is obviously too much.

Everyone was smacking Di Qing's ruthlessness, but only Xu Mao saw the deep meaning of this.

His Majesty deliberately favors Di Qing!

This may be because of Qin Wei's factors, but more importantly, compared to a powerful general, His Majesty prefers Di Qing who has the ability and no background.

Only such a person can truly be used by the emperor.

The original Qin Wei is an example!

The spy continued: "Later, Qin Wei arrived, and the two sides spoke fiercely, and then they talked about a competition to see Qin Wei's ability to train troops......

Wang Zhen suddenly turned cold, and said fiercely: "More than 20 people against more than 10 people, this is unfair!" The farmer is also a gate, and he doesn't want his face! ”

He didn't directly impeach the kind of reprimand, even if it was restrained.

Zhang Zhibai smiled secretly in his heart and said: "In the battlefield battle, can you still choose one-on-one when you encounter a superior enemy army?" Isn't that child's play! ”

These words seem ordinary, but Wang Zhen knows that this is Zhang Zhibai who is beginning to be jealous of them, so he will suppress them a few times when he has the opportunity, for fear that they will be too active in snatching his position as prime minister.

No one will think that the time of being an official is short, everyone wants to die in this position,

So...... You Wang Zhen don't know soldiers, what are you beeping?

The spy glanced at Zhang Zhibai, and his eyes were a little stunned.

Zhang Zhibai was displeased in his heart, so he said, "Come quickly." ”

Qin Wei's abuse is something that everyone likes to see!

Don't care if you have a grudge or not, anyway, that kid is too arrogant, and everyone is naturally happy to be taught a lesson.

The spy could only continue: "So the two sides fought in the Fan Tower, and the villain was stunned for a while, and a ...... fell inside."

I'll go!

So fierce?

Zhang Zhibai was more satisfied with the planter's ability to govern the army.

I thought that such a fierce general, if he could be recommended to participate in the exhibition a few times, at the same time that kind of family turned over, his contribution to Zaifu was also great!

Such a brave general, let alone kill his subordinates, even if he kills a few more, it will be fine.

"The villain took a closer look, but it was the farmer who fell......

Belch!

Zhao Zhen originally covered his forehead with his hand, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but let go of his hand, and asked in surprise: "Are you sure?" Did you read that right? ”

The secret agent said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the villain is the first ...... in the Imperial City Division."

Zhao Zhen raised his head slightly, "Okay." ”

It's just one word, but it says how he feels at the moment.

Xu Mao, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart...... Your Majesty, this is a preference, and there is no boundary.

"Qin Wei ordered the Northern Expeditionary Army to break a lot of those people's hands and feet."

This is too ruthless, it's more ruthless than a kind of slander!

It seems that Di Qing cuts off human limbs at every turn, and there is a source to follow.

Zhang Zhibai began to frown slightly, feeling that the training methods of the breeders were a little backward, and if they were blindly recommended, they would be in trouble if they didn't say it well.

"It's child's play, but it's ...... Qin Wei's method of training soldiers was to make me appreciate him and call him over. ”

Everyone's preference for Zhao Zhen is no longer strange, and they don't say anything more.

Later, Qin Wei came, looking very light and light.

"Did you do it with someone? And broke a lot of people's hands and feet? ”

Zhao Zhen's question made Qin Wei very innocent, and he said: "Your Majesty, it was the other party who took the initiative to ask the minister, and he had to try it with the minister...... What else do you say, if you don't compare the minister, you are a coward, the minister...... Your Majesty is kind to the minister, if the minister is a coward, isn't it a loss of your majesty's face? ”

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to set the tone first, and then scolded a few words without being salty.

But Qin Wei looked innocent, which made him a little embarrassed.

He coughed dryly and said: "It is said that after the Northern Expeditionary Army came back from the southwest, the drill was a little careless, I thought they had won a battle, and when they came back, they had arrogance, but I didn't expect to win the fierce pawn of the planter, why?" ”

Is this an acknowledgment of my ability to train?

But this 'is said'...... Who did you listen to?

Qin Wei glanced at Zhang Zhibai without thinking about it, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the practice is just a rumor. The training of ministers is one, as long as you don't die, then you will practice to the death. ”

Do you understand habitual thinking?

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and asked Zhang Zhibai: "Is this kind of military training possible?" ”

Zhang Zhibai knew that Qin Wei was blocking him by saying this, so he naturally wouldn't admit it, and then said: "It's difficult! If the drill is ruthless, the soldiers will complain, and then they will be sluggish, and if they are persecuted again, the morale of the army will be chaotic. ”

This is not wrong, the Great Song Army is currently urinating.

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wei again.

Zhang Xiang's words were correct, but the minister thought that the confusion in the army's heart was mainly due to the low status of the warriors. If the status is not high, he just wants to fight, what to protect the family and defend the country is just a joke, if such a soldier is on the battlefield, the minister is worried that he will collapse at the touch of a button. ”

This is a chronic disease, but it is difficult to improve in today's environment.

Zhao Zhen knew that this matter would be over once he talked about it, so he changed his mouth and said, "That's it, you go back." ”

After Qin Wei left, Wang Zhen reminded: "Your Majesty, haven't you asked him about the detailed training method?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "His ...... Others can't learn it. ”

Be kind to the soldiers and love the soldiers like children!

Who can do that?

In these years, the martial artists are pigs and dogs, and people will treat pigs and dogs well? Even the seed family beat and scolded the soldiers under them, so you can imagine what other people will think of those warriors.

Zhao Zhen was a little depressed, but he didn't know that Qin Wei had always been mixed with him.

This emperor is benevolent and generous, and he is a good emperor to his courtiers.

But for the people of the world, such an emperor made the Great Song Dynasty stand still, causing more and more problems, so that the successor could only reform ruthlessly when he saw this Great Song Dynasty.

Later, Qin Wei went to Zhuangzi outside the city, while Chong Yu was busy visiting a few Zaifu.

Farmers from the northwest are visiting, and this is to be seen.

As a privy envoy, Pang Ji naturally bore the brunt of the attack and came to the Pang family to meet first.

It's just that as soon as they met, Pang Ji hinted at a few words, signaling him to read more and be less angry.

This made him almost want to hide his face and run away.

Lu Yijian just listened to his views on Western Xia with a smile, but did not comment, this kind of matter has nothing to do with himself, Lao Lu has always handled it very well.

Then there is Zhang Zhibai.

Zhang Zhibai, who had just been scolded by Qin Wei in the court, did not speak very well: "When the old man followed the first emperor to the northwest, the farmer was not so useless. I heard that you are the leader of the next generation of the family, why did you lose to Qin Wei's box soldiers, and you are still a group of thieves from the scattered mansion division with an army? ”
