Chapter 329 Mu Guiying

Zeng Gongliang grabbed Chen Yuan: "Let's go, let's visit all the marshals of Tianbo Mansion together!"

In this era, Tianbo Mansion was not just a general. In the hearts of the people, Tianbo Mansion represents a spirit, a spirit that the Song Dynasty needs now, that is, "fighting"! There are now a group of women living here, which has not affected the people's respect for them at all, because these women also adhere to their men's concept and fight!

Therefore, even if those scholars look down on military generals very much, they cannot look down on Tianbo Mansion!

When we walked a hundred meters in front of Tianbo Mansion, a large inscription stood there with eight big characters written on it: "Civil officials get off the sedan chair, military officials get off the horse."

This monument was exchanged for the children of Tianbo Mansion with their lives.

Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan walked out of the carriage and walked to the front of the Tianbo Mansion gate. This was Chen Yuan's first time entering Tianbo Mansion. Thinking about the Yang Paifeng, Wang Huainiao, or the eighth sister and ninth sister, or the legendary Mu Guiying, Chen Yuan was a little excited.

They were introduced by an old family. At first, the only one who came to see them was Princess Chai. This woman was the highest in the Yang family except Old Lady She, but Chen Yuan knew that Mu Guiying, who is now the leader of the Yang family!

The Yang family certainly didn't know why they and Zeng Gongliang came, so Mu Guiying didn't come out. But when Zeng Gongliang expressed his intention, Princess Chai knew that she could not make the decision on borrowing personal soldiers, and also understood the importance of this, so she immediately asked them to sit for a while and invited Mu Guiying out.

When Chen Yuan first saw Mu Guiying, to be honest, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He originally thought that Mu Guiying should be as beautiful as on the stage, and at least he should have been wearing armor, with both swords on his shoulders and shoulders, and had a heroic and cool image.

But unexpectedly, Mu Guiying gave him the first impression of an ordinary woman. She was not wearing armor, but she was taller than the women of Song outside, and her figure was not as slim as she was.

After Mu Guiying entered the door, she looked at Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang first. When Chen Yuan touched her eyes, she suddenly felt that the look that the look that shot towards her seemed to have a very peaceful majesty, and she couldn't help but stand up.

"Who is Mr. Zeng?" Mu Guiying's tone was also very calm.

Zeng Gongliang hurriedly clasped his fists: "Zeng Gongliang, the official treasury, has met the marshal."

Mu Guiying nodded and looked at Chen Yuan again: "You are Chen Shimei?"

For some reason, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that in front of this woman, his slick-mouthed ability was completely unsatisfactory! She seemed to have a hint of majesty and a hint of solemnity, which made Chen Yuan unable to bear to blaspheme.

"Yes." Chen Yuan rarely returns to the question so simply.

Mu Guiying smiled: "I heard from Wenguang talk about you, it's great. Let's sit down and talk."

Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang sat on the chair very properly. Mu Guiying asked someone to bring tea and asked, "You want to borrow troops?"

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "Go back to the marshal, it's not about borrowing troops, but we just want to use a batch of new weapons we have made to arm a unit and see how powerful the combat effectiveness is. However, the ministers in the court opposed it, and it was a must to come to find the marshal."

Mu Guiying thought for a moment: "In other words, just lend the soldiers to you, take your weapons to the battlefield and see the results, right?"

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "The Marshal is wise!"

Mu Guiying shook her head: "I am so frank, you can't see the result you want to see in this way. You should know that there are many factors in war that we cannot control, such as the strength of the opponent, the terrain, and the quality of your soldiers."

In this regard, Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan were both laymen. They were all talking about each other and Chen Yuan asked, "Marson, how can we be sure?"

Mu Guiying said: "Actually, things are not as complicated as you think. Can this weapon play a role in the battlefield? Just ask the soldiers if they use it."

After she said this, Chen Yuan's first reaction was whether she was perfunctory to herself. Is it that simple? Isn't it possible?

He asked with questions: "Marson, although I don't know how to march and fight, I also know that if a person uses a piercing knife, if you suddenly ask him to change his sword, he will definitely say it will be unhappy."

Mu Guiying did not have any reproach, and said to Chen Yuan: "Well, what you said makes sense, and that's true for most soldiers. So, you must find soldiers who have been on the battlefield and fought against enemies like your weapons. I tell you that soldiers are not martial arts masters, and it is not easy to use other weapons to use them. As an ordinary soldier, his weapons may be left on the battlefield at any time or be cut off by his opponent. So, the most basic skill he needs to learn is to use any weapon he can pick up. Do you understand?"

After hearing what she said, Chen Yuan also felt that it made sense. He knew that the main reason for his undecided idea was that he did not understand the soldiers.

Mu Guiying paused for a while and suddenly asked a question: "Why are you thinking about building weapons?"

Zeng Gongliang immediately said: "For the sake of my Song Dynasty's country!"

Mu Guiying looked at Chen Yuan again: "Chen Shimei, I heard that you are going to spend all your money this time. This price makes me very suspicious for your business. Is it for the country or for the princess?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "None of them. I continue to do business in order to make myself live and to live safely."

A light suddenly appeared in Mu Guiying's eyes: "Is that right?"

Chen Yuan said: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally important places guarded by the Central Plains. Now they are occupied by the Liao Kingdom. Not only do I have no way to enter, but I also lost the horse farm! The soldiers watched the Liao people ride on horseback, but they can only watch them ride on horseback again! How much blood is there for the people of the Song Dynasty under the horse hoofs of the Liao Kingdom? Every year, few people are so shocked by the sound of the hoofs? Marshal, I don't want to be the next one, and I don't want my children to live in fear of these horse hoofs."

Mu Guiying's face muscles trembled for a moment, and she was convinced by Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan was able to convince her because these words resonated in Mu Guiying's heart. Before she met Yang Zongbao, she had become a bandit in the frontier. She had seen a lot of blood and tears.

She chose Yang Zongbao back then because she chose to fight for the Song Dynasty. She has never given up for so many years! However, the period of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was better, and she fought several battles with the Liao Kingdom. Although she lost more and won less, Mu Guiying was willing to continue bleeding!

When she arrived at Renzong, she was a little disappointed. The court was too cowardly in handling foreign relations! The recent situation at the border was so tense, and she vaguely realized that the opportunity was coming again! It was time for her to make some preparations!

Mu Guiying said quietly: "Your Majesty, do you know you are here to find me?"

Zeng Gongliang clasped his fists: "The lower official has never reported to the emperor."

Mu Guiying stood up: "Neither of you has ever fought a war. Although the manufacturing of weapons does not require troops, if a few people who have been on the battlefield give you advice, things will go smoother."

Of course Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang understand this truth! Hearing Mu Guiying say this, he is obviously preparing to help them! It is a good thing that Mu Guiying is willing to help. Even if he really needs the troops in the future, he will not be trapped, and both of them have a look of joy on their faces.

Mu Guiying continued, "Let's go to see the emperor together. If the emperor agrees, I will help you."

Sending several generals and several personal soldiers to the workshop to help is not a big deal. In the eyes of Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan, it is enough for Mu Guiying to nod. This is indeed the case.

But Mu Guiying firmly insisted on Renzong's opinion. The reason is very simple, and the Yang family is afraid!

No matter how much blood the Yang family blew on the battlefield, they would not blink, but when faced with the open and hidden arrows used by their own people, the Yang family really didn't want to be so cowardly and be so spoiled to others.

After several fates of scouting the house, the Yang family was really scared as a representative of the Great Song Dynasty military general group!

Mu Guiying brought Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang to see Renzong together, which obviously shocked Renzong. To be honest, Renzong didn't want anything to involve the Yang family, because in his mind, the Yang family came to him to ask for battle!

Once there is any trouble, the first person to hand him a war form must be the Yang family! If such a general is placed in other dynasties, the king will definitely feel very relieved. But Renzong is different, he is too "kind"!

When dealing with foreign relations, he and Chen Yuan had the same method as he used money.

The difference is that Chen Yuan used money to pull a few hairs from his opponent, while Renzong used money to make him not beat him when he was full.

Therefore, in Renzong's view, the Yang family's "request for battle" was a trouble.

Fortunately, after Mu Guiying explained his purpose this time, Renzong approved the matter without saying a word. As long as the Yang family didn't come to ask for a fight, it would be fine if he said anything.

Of course, Mu Guiying would ask Renzong what he thinks about the current border situation, but when she just asked about the border situation, Renzong immediately said: "I have left these issues to the ministers. I have already gone to Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang to mediate separately. Marshal Mu doesn't have to worry too much."

Renzong's attitude really disappointed Mu Guiying. She would rather hear Renzong's roaring roar like thunder when she came in, and asked who dared to fight in the Song Dynasty? At that time, Mu Guiying would stand up immediately!

To be honest, Chen Yuan also felt that Renzong was too cowardly in handling diplomacy! He did not agree that as Mu Guiying thought, he would use the whole country to eliminate the Dangxiang and then destroy the Liao Kingdom. That was simply impossible. The Liao Kingdom's geographical location was even greater than that of the Song Dynasty! Although it was backward in economy, it was difficult for the Song Dynasty to stop the fierceness of the shepherds to fight against the Song Dynasty!

The lesson of the past is that Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Kuangyin tried his best to conquer three of Yanyun's sixteen prefectures. After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he actually wanted to surpass his brother in military terms.

As a result, several major battles ended, and Zhao Kuangyin's elite soldiers were completely damaged! In a sense, the elite soldiers under Zhao Kuangyin were trained by Chai Shizong of Later Zhou. The military system of the Song Dynasty was not a mechanism to cultivate elite soldiers and generals at all.

So in the late period of Zhao Guangyi, the Song Dynasty relied on the tongues of those civil officials to say peace!
