Chapter 74 Wang Shao’s Face

In Xiongzhou, the Xiongzhou army was training on the school ground. Although it was already cold, the soldiers were sweating profusely, and no one was lazy. They trained very hard and seriously.

This time, he went deep into the Liao Kingdom to plunder and gained extremely richly, with more than 90% of the people who received the reward. The main reason for not receiving the reward was that he made mistakes, either he had to offset his merits and demerits, or he was dismissed from his post, or he was removed from the army.

The soldiers received extremely generous rewards, and the worst ones could live a stable life for more than ten years. The best ones could be rich for several lifetimes, and people would not have to worry about food and clothing for several generations. These are what they deserve and are the best recognition of their contributions.

What made the soldiers most pleased was that the reward was fair, and it was impossible to imagine in the past that there was no such thing as robbing merit. Justice is the cornerstone of an army, and the Song army lacked the most. Such justice made the soldiers most convinced, and their joy was far beyond the rewards they received.

"kill!"

"hack!"

"shoot!"

One after another, there were continuous powerful roars, one after another, and the soldiers' training was a lively scene.

"Brother Wu, I can't understand why we have to train 100,000 new recruits? We don't have that many horses." Zhou Wei couldn't understand and asked at Wu Ji.

Zhou Wei thought that this plundering was the best test for the new army. Although the new army had setbacks and failures, it proved the strong combat power of the new army. Then, the training of the new army must be carried out in this way. This time, more than 50,000 war horses were seized, and the expanded new army should be more than 50,000. However, Wu Ji ordered the expansion of the new army by 100,000. By this calculation, there would be tens of thousands of people without war horses.

According to the new army's fighting style, if there are no war horses, they cannot move quickly and cannot come and go like the wind. Isn't these tens of thousands of people without war horses just decorations?

"General Zhou, you have to think so. Liaogou's counterattack is coming soon. We are fighting at the border and will not rush into the Liao territory by horse. Can they come in handy?" Wu Ji explained.

In fact, according to Wu Ji's plan, the next battle will be to Zhuozhou and to penetrate the Liao territory on a large scale. Of course, this is the highest secret. Until now, only Wu Ji and Wang Shao know that Wu Ji cannot disclose such secrets, so he said so.

"Oh!" Zhou Wei sighed and said unhappily: "It would be great if we could go deep into the Liao territory again! It would be better to be able to defeat Zhuozhou. Brother Wu, do you know? How happy is it to me when I scold Yelu Zhao under Zhuozhou City? It makes me so happy!"

Speaking of this, his tone turned higher and he said, "But I can only scold but not attack Zhuozhou, which makes me very angry. Brother Wu, why don't we fight Zhuozhou in the next battle."

"Getting Zhuozhou?" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me the reason."

"What's the point? It was originally the land of the Song Dynasty. It was forcibly occupied by Liaogou. It's natural for us to fight back!" Zhou Wei was so angry that he clenched his right hand into a fist, and kept shaking.

Wu Ji thought he had a deeper consideration, and it turned out that it was just this reason. This reason was natural, but it depends on the situation and smiled and said, "Good statement! General Zhou, we will definitely not lose this battle in the future. As the war progresses, we will seize a lot of war horses. Can't we use it to equip them? We have to prepare early and train early, otherwise it will be too late."

The reason why Wu Ji wanted to expand the new army of 100,000 was because the next battle would go deep into Liao territory and attack Zhuozhou. There were many troops dispatched, and a hundred thousand troops were not necessarily enough. There were tens of thousands more prepared. They had no horses, so it didn't matter. They could just serve as reserves and supplement them.

If the battle goes smoothly and the war horses are seized, they can be equipped in the shortest time. However, this consideration cannot be said to Zhou Wei, because it is for the need for confidentiality.

"It's still Brother Wu who is considerate." Zhou Wei thought about it and that's the case.

"General Zhou, just train like this, I'll go and see somewhere else." Wu Ji said goodbye to Zhou Wei and rushed to another place.

Wang Shao returned to Bianjing, and border matters almost hit Wu Ji. Wu Ji had to run around to supervise the training of the new army.

In Bianjing, outside the imperial city, Wang Shao galloped over, covered in dust, covered in mud. He turned over and dismounted and quickly entered the imperial city.

"It's Wang Shumi!"

"Shumi Wang is back!"

Wang Shao was a famous general and was deeply loved by the soldiers. When the imperial guards guarding the imperial city saw him, they were very happy and hurriedly greeted him. Wang Shao waved his hand, said a word, and walked away quickly.

Jiying Palace, Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong gathered together and were discussing military aircraft.

"You guys tell me, how will this battle be fought in the next battle?" Song Shenzong frowned very tightly and said, "I have thought about it but never thought of a good idea. Apart from fighting, I can only fight! Of course, it is better to dare to fight, but if I don't fight well, I will suffer heavy casualties!" Later, my brows frowned into the character Sichuan.

"Officials, it would be great if Xixia did not take the opportunity to send troops." Lu Gong rushed to answer, saying, "In order not to allow Xixia to send troops, the Song Dynasty can make some concessions."

The battle with the Liao Kingdom must be a big battle. It would be a good thing if the Western Xia did not send troops. In order to achieve this goal, it is not impossible to give in appropriately.

"The idea is good, but it is difficult to realize it." Lu Huiqing shook his head and said, "Xixia has been coveting Guanzhong for a long time. If we don't send troops at this time, when will we wait? Even if the Song Dynasty retreats, Xixia will send troops. Our retreat has instead encouraged Xixia's arrogance."

"I think so too." Wang Anshi took over the conversation and said, "No matter how the Song Dynasty retreated, it would not satisfy Xixia. No matter how much wealth there was, it would not be as important as Guanzhong. If you get Guanzhong, the national strength of Xixia would increase several times. Don't want such a good thing, and you will get some mere benefits. Li Bingchang will not do it."

"Jie Fu's words are reasonable." Song Shenzong frowned: "If you can send money to Xixia not send troops, I would rather hurt you once. I am afraid that Xixia will still send troops if she takes money. The wealth of Song Dynasty will help the evil, and that is to shoot himself in the foot."

In terms of the appetite of Xixia, it is impossible to satisfy the amount of wealth given. The most likely result is that we have to take the wealth of the Song Dynasty and send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. This is a lesson for hundreds of years. Whether it is Xixia or Liao, they do this. While taking the annual tribute from the Song Dynasty, we also sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

"I would be fine if the Shanzhou soldiers were not transferred, that would be great." Lu Huiqing sighed.

"Yelu Hongji is not a person who suffers a loss. His counterattack will be extremely fierce. If the Western soldiers cannot be drawn, how can the north be defended?" Mr. Lu shook his head uncontrollably: "If we don't go to plunder, there will be no such thing. This is all the border generals are very happy about the merits, which leads to the confusion of soldiers. I don't know when it will be peaceful."

He is an opposition leader. For him, the more chaotic the situation, the better, and he will not miss this kind of opportunity to slander.

"Shut up!" Song Shenzong shouted and said, "Tiger is hurtful. Whether you hunt or not, tigers will hurt people. This plunder has pointed out the direction for the strong army of Song Dynasty. This point is enough. It only takes time, and I will have hundreds of thousands of such troops. Will I still be afraid of the Liao Kingdom at that time?"

"The official family, that's the future. How to deal with the current affairs?" Lu Gongzao would not give up.

"This..." Song Shenzong really stopped asking.

Although Lu Gongzhu did not have a good intention, he asked a very important question. Although Song Shenzong found the direction to establish a new army, it took time. At present, Yelu Hongji's counterattack was imminent, the Western Xia invasion was imminent, and the Song Dynasty was attacked on both sides. If he could not pass this level, everything was empty talk.

"Report to the official family, Wang Shao is asking for a meeting!" At this moment, Shao Jiu quickly stepped in to report.

"Wang Shao? Hurry up, call him in!" When Song Shenzong heard this, he couldn't help but be happy. Wang Shao was his confidant general, his left arm and right arm, and his main military assistant to Song Shenzong. Wang Shao has always been away from Bianjing, which made Song Shenzong always tie his hands and feet when dealing with military issues. He had long been looking forward to Wang Shao's return to Beijing, and as long as Wang Shao comes back, it would be much easier to solve military issues.

It was really time for Wang Shao to come back. It was just when Song Shenzong was in a state of great trouble. Song Shenzong took two steps at once to welcome the general. Unexpectedly, he collided with Wang Shao who was struggling in, which was shocked to apologize: "The official family, the minister, is striking to the dragon body, and he is guilty of death! Death crime!"

"Oh, don't talk about those!" Song Shenzong took Wang Shao's hand and pulled him in, looked left and right, and couldn't help but smile: "Wang Shao, you just arrived in Beijing, are you covered in dust, dusty." While saying, he beat Wang Shao to death, which shocked Wang Shao to apologize again.

"Officials, can you give me some tea?" Wang Shao rushed all the way, his voice smoking, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Haha!" Song Shenzong waved at Shao Jiu: "Come on tea!"

Shao Jiu received the order and hurriedly handed over the tea. Wang Shao took it, drank it dry in a few sips, and shouted: "Come again!"

After drinking seven or eight cups of tea in a row, he gave up. Song Shenzong smiled and looked at Wang Shao to drink tea without urging him.

When Mr. Lu saw it, he was very jealous. What kind of favor is this? But he has never received it.

"Sit! sit! sit down!"

Song Shenzong called everyone to sit down and asked, "Wang Shao, this time you plundered beautifully! It was the most beautifully beaten time in hundreds of years! Not only did you kill tens of thousands of Liao dogs, but you also captured so much wealth. Liao dogs captured the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the Song Dynasty finally returned the color, making people feel comfortable just by thinking about it! Haha!"

The laughter is joyful and very happy!

This time, although it was a big trouble, it was a rare victory, which made people feel comfortable and everyone laughed. Even Lu Gong was laughing with him.

"But, Wang Shao, Yelu Hongji is not a person who suffers a loss. After he suffers such a big loss, he will definitely find ways to counterattack. He will fight against the country." After Song Shenzong smiled, his face turned solemn and his brows frowned: "If I deal with Yelu Hongji, I will not be afraid. However, Xixia will take the opportunity to send troops to attack northern Shaanxi, go straight to Guanzhong, and the Song Dynasty will be attacked on both sides, what should I do?"
