This attack plan is not a perfect ending, the avalanche can kill the Xia people, and it is still useful for the Song people. Therefore, the special forces had to return to Huangzhou City, bring some thunderbolts back to Mawei City, and continue to the mountains south of the city to loosen the snow that had been cracked on the north side of the peak. Let them slip in small batches and remove worries.

It's just that this work doesn't need to be personally commanded by Hong Tao anymore, and the people are more adept at how to blow up the snow and snow accumulation, and they can tell with the naked eye where the snow is most likely to slide down.

Hong Tao's task now is to return to Huangzhou City and Lian'er, bury his head in the book case every day, and strive to render this operation more brilliant and great, and then turn it into words, plus the physical evidence of the unlucky prince of the Xia Kingdom and present it to the emperor for seeing.

No matter how beautifully things are done, it is better to write the report in a frenzied manner, Hong Tao has long understood this truth. He didn't intend to lie about the military situation, but it didn't hurt to be able to do something that benefited him in a few words.

Now that the fate of Mawei City has not yet been decided, the emperor must be given enough reason and confidence to leave Mawei City behind, and don't be told by those unenterprising mouth peddlers in a few words.

The fourth year of Yuanfeng was the most pleasant year for Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty since he ascended the throne. Since the beginning of the year, reforms aimed at consolidating imperial power have been proceeding smoothly.

By virtue of the matter of planting Kai, a large number of idle official positions were first abolished, and there was a small move in the official system. Don't look at it as a small change, if it had been placed in the past, it would have been sprayed by the courtiers.

As soon as he entered the summer, his brother-in-law was like he had a heart, and he killed the generals to the ground, causing an uproar in the court, and the sound of impeachment was endless.

But since Su Shi came back from Huangzhou and presented what he saw and heard in Huangzhou, everyone was dumbfounded. Su Shi didn't write anything good about the horses in the recital, which was basically wrong, but in the ears of the emperor and the ministers, he had to think twice.

On the surface, these mistakes are serious, and all of them are contempt for the laws of the ancestors. But in practice, as long as an official who is well versed in government affairs, he can draw very good conclusions.

This is Su Shi's weakness, he is too self-conscious, and he is too bad at political affairs, to put it bluntly, he is incompetent. As a great literati, he did a very good job, but as an official, he was really not very qualified, especially a central official.

Everything always starts from one's own ideas, and does not consider the actual situation and environment at all. This is also the fundamental reason why he is neither popular with the old party, nor the new party, nor is he favored by the emperor.

What is the current climate in the court? Reform, even the old party did not dare to blatantly say that the emperor's reform was wrong, and could only find fault in the details of the reform.

This is called the general trend, follow the trend and go smoothly, it is not impossible to go against the current, but you have to have great strength to move against the current, otherwise it will be like a small tree in front of the torrent, which will be uprooted in an instant.

His recital is to move against the current, and all he says is how the horse has violated the legal system of his ancestors, and he is blind to the achievements he has made. If you really want to turn a blind eye, then don't write it, he is not no, and it is very thoughtful to record it one by one, so as to show his character.

But in the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, this kind of thing is not the same thing at all. Not only can you not punish the horse, but you have to manage the horse well.

Why? Because the pacification envoy was ordered by the emperor to go to the local army to reorganize the war, as long as this goal was achieved, and there was no major crime of rebellion and rebellion, other details were side branches.

In the past, there were only secret reports from the Privy Council and the Imperial City Division, and the ministers could still say that it was unfair. Now it's okay, Su Shi, a well-known upright gentleman from the government and the opposition, went to see it with his own eyes, and he wrote such a thing.

The officials who wanted to attack the horse immediately shut up, and then looked at Su Shi with suspicious eyes, and couldn't help asking: Who is your grandson with!

Emperor Shenzong looked at the performance of the old and new parties, and his stomach was about to hurt, and he was wondering if he should give his brother-in-law another rise. In September, the Yongxing Military Road came with good news, and the deputy head of Huyan broke the Xia army in Mizhi City and beheaded 3,000!

Although they listened to the advice of their brother-in-law, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi were not busy with the Western Xia of civil strife, but these two were not idle, they stationed heavy troops on the Yongxing Military Road, and tested the reaction of the Xia army from time to time.

His own arrangement was victorious, and Emperor Shenzong had another topic to brag about in front of the courtiers, and at the same time, it also proved that the reform was successful from another side.

But the courtiers didn't think so, and according to the information from the border passes, the Western Xia were also gathering heavy troops to Weizhou, apparently trying to make up for the losses from the east from the west. The clouds of war are gathering over Qinfeng Road, and it is uncertain whether they will win or lose in the end.

At this moment, there was another good news from the Imperial City Division, the horse Wang Shu broke the Xia army in the ancient bone dragon city, destroyed its city, beheaded the Xia army Zhuo Luo and the deputy commander of the Southern Army Division, Liang Daochu, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, in front of the battle, and beheaded more than 5,000 people.

The emperor, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang were all dumbfounded when they saw this secret performance. They all agreed that the secret agents of the Imperial City Division had been bought off by the horses, otherwise how could Wang Xu's soldiers have won such a great victory?

also beheaded the deputy general of the other party's military department and the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liang, isn't this nonsense. It is very credible to say that Wang Shu can win against all the generals of Western Xia and Liao, but it is not credible to say that he will lead troops to fight and the emperor will be killed.

sent his brother-in-law to Huangzhou, saying that he was going to deal with the Xia people and build a city, but in fact, he didn't expect the horses to send troops at all. Stupid, there are more than 2,000 forbidden troops in total, and it is enough to guard the border pass.

This is just a suspicious trick played by the emperor and Wang Anshi, that is, for the Xia people, in order to distract the Xia people. After all, Wang Shu is the husband of the eldest princess of Shu, and the Xia people also know very well that this eldest princess is deeply loved by the emperor, so there is no major matter, and he will not send this concubine to the border.

In addition, the emperor also had a purpose to let Wang Shu muddy the waters and attract the attention of the courtiers, so that he could use his means to seize power in the court.

Wang Shu had completed the task very well before, and the emperor had planned to transfer his brother-in-law back at the end of the year. The eldest princess has already given birth to a daughter in the summer, Wang Shu has a daughter, the task has been completed, and it is time to go home and enjoy the blessings.

But I didn't expect this kid to understand his hard work, and actually bought the spies of the Imperial City Division to send fake military reports. This crime is too big, and the emperor can't cover it, and it seems that he will have to demote his official after being transferred back, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the ministers of the court.

Before the emperor could prepare the holy decree of reprimand, the information from Huangzhou flew into the inner part like snowflakes. This time, there were not only separate reports from Miao Kui and Wasp, the official secret performance of the Imperial City Division, but also a clear military report sent directly to the Privy Council by the head of the Huangzhou Ma Bujun.

The content is similar to the secret performance of the Imperial City Division before, but there is a seven-fold discount on the number of beheadings, not five thousand, only about three thousand.

But Empress Dowager Liang's nephew must have died, and along with the military report, there was a series of physical evidence such as his official certificates, correspondence documents, etc. In addition, Wang Xuan also said in the recital that he had caught a few Xia Junbu soldiers alive, and had already sent the crown of the water tiger wings to escort them, and they would arrive in Beijing in a few days.

Now the emperor is really not calm, if it is possible that Wang Shu bought the spies in Huangzhou to cheat, then the later reports cannot be all fake.

With such a large-scale fraud, not to mention that Wang Shu is not good at playing, even if Wang Anshi is asked to do it for a while, it will not be even. This is more than N departments, if they are all bought by horses, then the country will simply forget it for him, and the emperor will use it.

"It's true! Wang Xuhe...... He's too bold! "Looking at the medals and physical evidence on the imperial case, Emperor Shenzong was dizzy, could it be that his brother-in-law is still a fierce general in the army, both civil and military? But he can't even dance with a sword, and riding a horse is similar to riding a donkey, so how can he go into battle?

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty for this wise general. I thought that Zhuge calling for wind and rain was a deductive interpretation of grass people's comments, and I didn't think that Wang Shu really had this ability. It seems that the words of the Seven Stars in the same palace are not all folk rumors, and this son is indeed different. ”

Wang Anshi, like the emperor, was holding a few posters to watch, shaking his head and sighing as he watched. After hearing the emperor's inquiry, he handed over the piece in his hand.
