"It seems that you have made up your mind about this matter......" Liang Shijie gently blew away the faint heat on the hot tea in the blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and said calmly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Tang informed him that he led the army to Kongsongzhuang, and Liang Shijie also learned that Xiao Tang fought with Zhang Di and killed more than 200 enemies.

Originally, Liang Shijie didn't take Zhang Di in his eyes in the past few years, what is the boundary of the Daimyo Mansion? One of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, the first place to go in the north of He1. The city is high and dangerous, the trench is wide and deep, but this famous mansion is Liang Shijie and the commander of the army to guard, known as "thousands of fierce generals to dominate the city, millions of Li people live in the country". Which thief dares to come to seek death?

However, as Zhang Di's power became bigger and bigger, he is now encroaching on the northern states of He1, which has not only infringed on Liang Shijie's interests, but also has a certain impact on his performance appraisal and inspection and inspection. Liang Shijie also had the idea of suppressing the gang of thieves who were close to the Daimyo's mansion, but he didn't expect that Xiao Tang, who made himself quite important, had already clashed with the other party first.

For this, Liang Shijie felt that Xiao Tang was a little reckless, especially Xiao Tang not only persuaded Liang Shijie to send troops to the imperial court, but even took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops and the army to fight against Zhang Di in Zhaozhou.

Originally, Liang Shijie saw that Xiao Tang was a usable person, and because of his status as a military attaché, he promoted him from the way of military attaché, but the kind of thing of conquest and suppression of thieves was done by Li Cheng, Wen Da and other cronies under his command.

Allowing you a military position is to make you do your duty, I control the armies, the Privy Council and other prefects of the courts, all of them are filled with scholars, how much do you know about military affairs? Especially the sophomore in the palace marshal's mansion, how did he rely on accumulating military exploits to get to today's status?

Xiao Tang said to Liang Shijie: "I have not been promoted, but when I have to serve the country, I must be the first." Now the thieves are powerful, encroaching on the counties and counties in the north of He1, killing and harming the people, and plundering them. In the end, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, except for the trouble of the henchmen in the north of the river 1, and I will not live up to the grace. ”

Liang Shijie frowned, and said to Xiao Tang: "You are a smart person, since ancient times, it is difficult to have a definite number of swordsmen, and if you are a little careless, then the government will want to promote you again, and you will have to waste your hands and feet." Remembering that you are the good help of this house, according to your ability, you can not only rely on a knife and a gun to win a fame. Why do you have to put yourself in danger? ”

Liang Shijie's words Xiao Tang understood very well, similar to Gao Yu's phenomenon of catering to the promotion of officials and bosses, also represented a kind of atmosphere at this time, on the other hand, Wu Xianghou Di Qing was proficient in the art of war, but the generals who made great achievements were suspicious of the imperial court, which led to depression.

In the imperial court environment, there is generally a contemptuous and contemptuous attitude towards the reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, and they generally have a contemptuous and contemptuous attitude, in Liang Shijie's view, there are three or two henchmen who can lead troops to fight. And as long as Xiao Tang takes care of matters such as the Rongchang, Caoyun, and Horse Husbandry Supervisor under his rule, and then relies on his kitsch methods such as setting up Jinfeng Yulu Lou Le Fang, and relying on his promotion to introduce his father-in-law Cai Jing, he still has to worry about whether he can rise to prominence and be a high-ranking official? Why should it be like that reckless military attache who can only go in and out of the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood several times, and die nine times to seek fame?

Xiao Tang knew that Liang Shijie had good intentions, but the Great Song Dynasty was abandoned, and now it has reached the point of burning his eyebrows. Under the intensification of redundant troops and redundant officials, and the emphasis on literature and suppression of military force, the treatment of military attaches is not only very different from that of civilian officials, and the soldiers of the forbidden army and the box army go to serve as servants in the officers' homes in order to make a living, or become soldiers and ruffians to blackmail and extort the people on one side.

In the future, the 200,000 Western Song Army that intended to recover Yanyun was defeated and fled by the remnants of the Liao army, and returned defeated; Jingkang's shame Jin Guotie rode straight into the country twice, breaking the national capital, which has seriously exposed the corruption of the Great Song military system.

Now only Xiao Tang knows the historical lessons that deeply stung the Song people, and he doesn't want to wait until the catastrophe is coming before he regrets his mistakes. According to Liang Shijie's conception, he didn't want Xiao Tang to make contributions on the battlefield, and Xiao Tang now just wants to do his best to be familiar with military affairs, try to turn things around, and strive to seize the one-in-a-million chance to prevent the catastrophe more than ten years later, how can he accept Liang Shijie's mercy to be the "second high-ranking man"?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said to Liang Shijie: "Grace, there is a way that jade is not cut into a weapon, and the last general is a martial artist, and it is a long-cherished wish of his life to raise a three-foot sword to establish immortality, and he only seeks to fulfill his grace." ”

"You! Liang Shijie's face showed a hint of sorrow, this Xiao Tang is usually cautious in his words and deeds, and he is also a person who can listen to good words, why is he so insistent today, and he even brushes off his own good intentions?

Liang Shijie saw that Xiao Tang's face was still calm, and he thought that he had done a lot for himself in the past, and there had never been the slightest mistake in many matters under his orders. If you have to learn from that reckless warrior, this government is too lazy to persuade you anymore!

"That's it! It's up to you. Liang Shijie snorted coldly and said: "Earlier, you exterminated Niu Wenzhong and a gang of thieves in Gaizhou, killed 3,000 thieves and captured hundreds of thieves, and this matter has been reported to the imperial court. According to the merit reward, this government will promote you to the Daimyo's Mansion to stay behind the soldiers and horses, wait for the palace to write to the court, and when the army arrives at the Daimyo's Mansion, assist in begging for thieves, there must be no loss! ”

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, although at that time, Niu Wenzhong in Pinggai Prefecture could not even kill and capture hundreds of thieves, but when all walks of life invited merit to the imperial court, it often happened that they were rewarded for their merits, and even covered up the responsibility for defeat.

The appointment of Xiao Tang as a soldier and horse prisoner, in charge of the station, soldiers, training and envoys of the department, is called a prisoner with low qualifications. At present, the position of the head of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion is currently held by Liang Shijie, and he has all the military and political power in his hands. In addition to the Heavenly King Li Cheng and Dadao Wenda, Xiao Tang, the prisoner, is already the fourth person in the forbidden army left behind in the Daimyo Mansion.

"Thank you for the reward, and the last general will repay it with all his might!" Xiao Tang bowed to Liang Shijie, but he thought in his heart: Although I still have to rely on Liang Shijie's help, I can't be a person with this Liang Zhongshu, especially Cai Jing, the traitor behind him who has been stinking for thousands of years and has brought disaster to the country and the people. Although he is now dormant, sooner or later he will become an opponent of the eternal traitor.

However, although he has some reputation now, what is the difference between him and the peddlers and pawns in the eyes of the court magnates? I'm afraid that there are still too many things to worry about in the future......

When Liang Shijie wrote to the imperial court and played Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, Zhao Ji learned that Zhang Di gathered his henchmen in He1 Beizhou and gathered 30,000 people to harm the county governments of He1 Beizhou, and that Zhaozhou was adjacent to the Daimyo's Mansion in the north of the Great Song Dynasty and Beijing, so he should not be treated with caution.

The general was given the commander, and the golden seal was given, and the Privy Council issued a rune to transfer troops, and allocated Tokyo to manage the three military states, with Zhengzhou Chen Zhu as the main vanguard, Chen Zhou Bingyi as the deputy vanguard, and Ruzhou Ma Wanli as the positive combination, and a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses were selected as the auspicious day division.

In the north and north roads of He1, Wen Da, the soldier and horse supervisor of the Daimyo's Mansion, and Xiao Tang, the soldier and horse prisoner, were ordered to lead a total of seven battalions of forbidden troops, and Xue Yuanhui, the commander of Gaotang Prefecture, led three battalions of soldiers and horses, and Dezhou, Cizhou, and Xiangzhou also dispatched two battalions of infantry to assist the imperial court in conquering Zhang Di's army.

As for the two commanders of the expeditionary army, they were both appointed as the Jiedu envoy of the northern boundary of He1, and the deputy marshal was the Zhongshan Anping Jiedu envoy of the Lone Tiger, and the commander Xiao Tang was even more familiar.

Because the commander of the army is the envoy of the He-Nanhe-Beijie Dudu, known as the old and merry Wang Huan.
