Chapter 529 are all acquaintances

One is also an acquaintance of Su You, Zhou Yongqing, the grandson of the famous Shaanxi general Zhou Mei.

The poem records that "since Shaanxi has used soldiers, the generals are more unfavorable, more than ten battles before and after the United States, two hundred flat family tents, twenty-one burning, eleven tribes who are attached to the recruitment, and many castles." The gifts obtained in the army, under the more than one play, there is more than enough, and they all work hard. and death, and there is no family left. ”

Zhou Mei's son died early, Zhou Mei died on the imperial court, with his grandson as his heir, and the imperial court gave the introduction of deputy envoys, Qin Fenglu was under the jurisdiction of Qinfenglu, and was stationed in Weizhou.

When Zhou Yongqing was in office, he saw that although the soldiers were brave, they did not understand the formation. Therefore, Li Jing's art of war in the Tang Dynasty was adopted as a model to conduct strict training for the troops, so that the appearance of the army was greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

After Su You arrived in Weizhou, he studied this training method and praised it greatly.

Of course, there is still a difference between Su You's tactics and Zhou Yongqing's, but in the future, firearms must be used in formation, and the technical and tactical level of soldiers can be quickly improved, but orders are forbidden, and they must be trained in formations to attack.

Zhou Yongqing's formation, its positive significance is here.

At that time, Zhou Yongqing had already left his post and came to Hebei, and Su You wrote a letter to Zhou Yongqing to ask for the details of the formation.

There was a big guy who asked, and Zhou Yongqing naturally went on to talk about everything, but he didn't think about what it would be.

A few months later, the imperial court issued an edict ordering the garrisons throughout the country to train their troops in the same way as Zhou Yongqing. At the same time, Zhou Yongqing was added as the deputy envoy to appease the edge.

Only then did Zhou Yongqing know that Su You sent Zhou Yongqing's improved formation diagram, detailed drawings and text descriptions to the imperial court. And it is important to explain that this is not his own invention, but the work of his predecessor Zhou Yongqing, who recommended himself to the imperial court behind his back.

Zhou Yongqing received the imperial court edict and burst into tears.

In the past, there were many bosses who took the credit of their subordinates for their own merits, but they had never heard of anyone who remembered the achievements of those who left their posts and then reported them to the imperial court.

Su You summarized Zhou Yongqing's training methods into teaching materials, and the energy spent in them was actually no less than half a point of originality.

However, in Su You's recital, he did not mention a word about himself, and he said that it was created by Zhou Yongqing.

In one day, the world is more famous than the ancestors, this is the grace of reconstruction.

However, in the correspondence between Su You and him in the future, he always only discussed business issues, and his attitude was still very modest, and he did not reply to Zhou Yongqing's gratitude and the like.

Now that the benefactor has arrived in Hebei, Zhou Yongqing immediately sent guards to follow along the coast, and he didn't dare to get on the boat to disturb, anyway, he has been dotted on both sides of the strait.

At first, Su You didn't care, thinking that it was sent by the imperial court to escort Sima Guang, until he set off from Yingzhou, this team was still there, and he didn't know that it was time to protect himself.

couldn't help but feel strange, and hurriedly sent Chongyi to inquire, only to know that it was Zhou Yongqing's subordinate.

So Su You asked the head of the team to tell Zhou Yongqing and asked him to meet him in Xiongzhou.

Xiongzhou also has a deputy envoy of the border, Wang Guangzu, the son of Wang Qi.

However, it is not Hanlin Wang Jue, but Jingyuan Yong General Wang Jue, nicknamed "Wang Iron Whip".

Wang Tiewhip died in the battle of Haoshuichuan, and the imperial court recorded Guangzu as an official and a waiter.

This baby's strength is "knowing the enemy", that is, the intelligence work is good, good at judging the enemy's true intentions, after the catastrophe, the imperial court specially ordered Xiongzhou to explore the movement in the north, is to fancy him.

After Su You's exploration fleet arrived in Xiongzhou, they set up a table banquet and invited Zhou Yongqing and Wang Guangzu to drink on board.

Zhou Yongqing got on the boat and bowed to Su Youna: "Serving the great grace, Yongqing is unforgettable." ”

Su You helped Zhou Yongqing up: "It's serious, this is for the country, not to mention personal favor, I have gained a lot from learning from you, but because Weizhou is mainly defensive, it has not been used for the time being." ”

Wang Guangzu said with a smile: "The battle of Tanhualang Weizhou, that is to attack instead of defend, to win beautifully. The county gentleman chases the enemy for hundreds of miles a day, invincible, and has the demeanor of a woman in the north! Guangzu admires! ”

Su You said: "She is now in Yingzhou to treat the victims, but she couldn't come, come and come, let's sit down and chat." ”

Together with the two, what they are talking about is naturally military affairs, and this military affairs is also related to river governance.

After three rounds of drinking, Su You asked: "Since the friendship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, the soldiers and armor in the north are mainly quiet, and I heard that the east of Baozhou is Tangpi Fangtian, and rice is planted on weekdays. ”

"I don't understand this, I'm a Shu person, I'm an expert in planting rice, and I can't pass the cow's leg when I plough the rice field, otherwise the cultivation is not good, and the water depth in such a large area is just right, it's a little embarrassing, right?"

Wang Guangzu and Zhou Yongqing were both a little embarrassed, and Zhou Yongqing organized his words: "I don't want to hide it from Engong, after the Yellow River changed to flow north, Tangpi was mostly silted up by sediment, and now it is no deeper than people's legs, and those who are shallow...... Growing wheat is a good field, blocking the cavalry, which is a joke. ”

Su You understood: "Because I expected Tuntian to be profitable, I was concealed by you and did not report to the imperial court?" ”

Wang Guangzu's face flushed: "No, isn't it...... No, I just changed the route, and I don't feel stable......"

Xiao Jiujiu in these places, Su You didn't bother to pay attention to it: "Tuntian is also a way, but it still has to be reported to the imperial court, so many refugees have nowhere to settle, this food alone, I'm afraid no one can eat it." ”

"Give you a reminder, report it as soon as possible, and don't forget who came down to check the river this time."

Division-Horse-Big-Light! If you have nothing to do, you have to impeach people, and if no one impeaches, you will find the emperor's master, and the lethality is leveraged, and the two immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, we miscalculated." ”

Su You remembered "Water Margin" again: "What is the situation of thieves in Hebei? ”

Wang Guangzu said: "There is a group of horse bandits in Xiongzhou, the leader is nicknamed the Heavenly Buddha, who robs villages and towns on weekdays, kills and injures pedestrians, and the officials and soldiers encircle and suppress them, and then they escape into the Liao realm, and the rest ...... It's all a small fight, and the local inspection can be handled, and the army is dispatched without labor. ”

Su You touched his chin: "Escape into the Liao Realm...... How can there be a smell of conspiracy, but you don't know that it is not supported by the Liao? How are their weapons, horses, and clothing? ”

Zhou Yongqing said: "It is no different from the people of the Yan Dynasty, the horses come from the Liao realm, and they are naturally excellent, by the way, they are good at using bows and arrows." ”

Su You immediately asked, "To what extent?" Will it be mounted archery? Will the backshot be? How accurate is it? How much bow force? ”

Wang Guangzu and Zhou Yongqing looked at each other: "What is the backshot?" Riding and archery is good, and the accuracy is ...... Thirty steps and ten to nine steady, the problem of bow power, not seized, I don't know. ”

Su You shouted: "Hachiro, go to the ship and watch the arrows and the two deputy envoys, don't use a crossbow, ask for a bow." ”

Bows and arrows are the daily homework of the boys on the boat, and even Su You has to practice, the six arts of a gentleman.

Soon the bow and arrow were taken, and the eyes of the two of them lit up when they saw the arrow: "This is the famous Meishan arrow, right?" ”

Su You said: "Don't talk about this first, look at the two of you, the arrows used by the bandits, the weight, and length are roughly the same as the ones here?" ”

Wang Guangzu took one and handed it to Zhou Yongqing, who nodded: "It's roughly the same as this one." ”

Su You nodded: "Two stones and four buckets, this is a good hand in the army." This is called Tianfo and his subordinates, it is very likely that they are from Liao! ”

At this moment, a fast boat sailed up, and the fast scout on the ship shouted: "Vice Marshal Wang is here?" Xiongzhou Emergency! ”

Wang Guangzu hurriedly walked out of the cabin: "Give it to me!" ”

When he opened it, he said to Su You: "Waiting, Khitan Linya Xiao Xi, under the pretext of inspecting the boundary river Zhao Yong disturbed the border, led 40,000 troops to press the border, and is building a pontoon bridge, intending to cross the river." ”

Zhou Yongqing stood up: "Engong, if the gentleman does not stand under the wall, I will escort Engong back to Daimyo!" ”

Su You said: "Forty thousand, is it a little less?" Deputy Envoy Wang, what do you think? ”

Wang Guangzu said with a smile: "The service system is a test of Guangzu, and those who take care of him swear an oath; He wanted to get Zhao Yong's ear. If you avoid it, it will be tense, and it is better not to avoid it. ”

Su You asked again: "The Khitan phalanx is 40,000, and if you come to it in a single boat, will it be unexpected?" ”

Wang Guangzu hated: "This Khitan is so wise that he has repeatedly threatened me with side affairs, so that I can make the Great Song Dynasty give in." However, I am a military minister, and it is not my responsibility to negotiate with foreign envoys, and everything still needs to be served. ”

Zhou Yongqing was furious: "Brother Wang! The Liao people in the north have no faith at all, in case the grace of the prince is lost, you and I will die and cannot be redeemed! ”
