"This martial artist, as long as he delegates power, he can be trained?"

Zhao Xu was probably also frightened by Lu Huiqing's honesty, and actually asked such a stupid question.

"Your Majesty, Wei Zhiwu's martial arts could be successful in the Warring States more than a thousand years ago, how can he not practice now?" Lu Huiqing said, "As the minister knows, there are many good generals in the Western Army, such as Chongshi Dao, Guo Cheng, Zhe Keshi, Liu Fa, Wang Hou, Gao Yongnian, Yao Xiong, Miao Lu, Wang Shu, Liu Zhongwu and others, all of whom are handsome at the moment. ”

Zhao Xu is so angry with Lu Huiqing that he has lost his temper, although he didn't come forward to carry the black pot immediately, but he really came up with a feasible strategy!

Aren't you going to train your troops?

Now the method of training the troops is here, and the method of Wu Qi training Wei Wushu is used to practice! Ten generals were also recommended, as long as the money and power were given to them together, one person could practice 5,000, and ten people could practice 50,000.

With these 50,000 "Song warriors", are the current Liao soldiers still afraid that they can't be defeated?

But the question is, do you dare to use this method to train troops? If the officials don't dare to ...... Then Lu Huiqing has also fulfilled his responsibility as a courtier, and Zhao Xu can't blame him anymore. You don't need Lu Dazhongliang's strategy, what kind of soldiers do you still have to let people train? How do you practice?

Zhao Xu naturally didn't dare to use Lu Huiqing's method, although he also knew that using Lu Huiqing's method could really train an elite soldier...... He groaned slightly, and sighed the most: "Lu Qing's words are also reasonable, but the matter of military training must be considered in the long run. ”

"Your Majesty."

A relaxed expression flashed on Lu Huiqing's face. The official family is really still surnamed Zhao, although the heart is a little bigger than the official family before the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, it is still on the route of the Zhao family. The military leaders who lead the troops must be strictly guarded against them.

Looking at Lu Huiqing's distant back, the official Zhao Xu suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He actually wanted to support Lu Huiqing's suggestion and train him 50,000 "Song Wushu". But the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years can't be said to be completely unreasonable, right? What did those self-respecting envoys do in the fifth dynasty of the Tang Dynasty? At that time, the emperor was "a strong soldier and a strong horse".

What is the use of such a strong soldier and a strong horse?

But no, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty are always not strong, and it will be difficult to fight Western Xia, can they really rely on them to Pingliao and Fuyan in the future?

With another long sigh, Zhao Xu said weakly: "Pass the meal ......"

"Whoa."

The little yellow door beside him agreed, and trotted away. Seeing that this eunuch who was about the same age as himself was as strong as him, Zhao Xu's mood was a little lower.

At this moment, a small yellow door guarding outside the Chongzheng Hall suddenly walked in quickly and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Liang Shicheng of the Hanlin Painting Academy and Wu Haogu, who is waiting for the edict, are outside the hall and ask for an audience." ”

"What's the hell? Wu Haogu is back? ”

Zhao Xu suddenly came to his senses and quickly called him in.

"Whoa."

Wu Haogu only arrived at Kaifeng Mansion early this morning, and after placing Mr. Murong, Zhong Ge'er, Guo Yaoshi and others in his house in the west chamber of Kaifeng Mansion, he didn't even go to Christie's line, so he directly entered the palace with the music written on the road.

Although he has been awarded an official now, he has not been ordained seriously, and he is still the chief of the Hanlin Painting Academy. Although this Hanlin Painting Institute is under the name of the Hanlin Academy, it is actually a government office serving the inner court, and it is not really under the management of the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, Wu Haogu, who was to be edicted, did not pass up through the path under the Zhongshu Gate, but went directly into the Inner Nei Province and bypassed the outer court and handed it up. And Zhao Xu had already given Liang Shicheng an edict before, and as soon as Wu Haogu arrived, he would immediately bring him to see him.

So now when he was eating, Wu Haogu was taken to the Chongzheng Palace.

When Wu Haogu and Liang Shicheng walked into the Chongzheng Hall together, the official Zhao Xu was eating, Wu Haogu secretly glanced at the words, and found that Zhao Xu was sitting alone behind a dining table, and there didn't seem to be too many plates and dishes on the table. Zhao Xu frowned at the few dishes - of course, it couldn't be that there were too few delicious dishes, he had to have the appetite to eat and drink, and Wu Haogu didn't bother to save the country and the people now.

After Wu Haogu bowed, Zhao Xu spoke: "Wu Qing, this time you didn't encounter danger, right?" ”

Wu Haogu replied: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, there is no danger." ”

Zhao Xu nodded: "What's the gain?" ”

"It's a lot." Wu Haogu held a stack of pieces of music high.

"Oh?" Zhao Xu saw the piece in Wu Haogu's hand, and immediately became interested, "Take it and take a look." ”

Immediately, an internal official received the order, stepped forward to take the music in Wu Haogu's hand, and then held it in front of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu picked up the first recital, he thought that this recital was about the uprising of the Bohai people in Xijin Prefecture, but he didn't expect to see the words "Pingyan Jiuce".

"Pingyan Jiuce?" Zhao Xu's tone was a little cold, "You still have suggestions?" ”

In Zhao Xu's opinion, Wu Haogu is just a painter, and it is his job to draw a spy painting to spy on the intelligence of the Liao State, what kind of strategy do you offer? If you can give advice, won't so many important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty become useless wood carving clay sculptures?

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu had long known that his businessman and painter would not be taken too seriously by the officials, so he asked Old Man Murong to pretend to be a military advisor, "The minister will not give advice, and the one who will give advice is the Yanyun Daru Murong Forget Worry who came from Xijin Mansion with the minister." He was a jinshi of the Liao State, and he also served as the companion of Prince Zhaohuai. ”

The great Confucians and Jinshi of the Liao State? This one sounds like a tall man.

Zhao Xu nodded, looked at it, and inquired as he looked: "Wu Qing, how did you see this Murong forgetting worries?" ”

"Your Majesty, he is the teacher of Ma Zhima Ryoji."

"How is Ma Zhi now?"

"He is now the deputy patrol envoy of the Nanjing Provincial Police, and it won't be long before he can become the state military envoy of the Liao State."

"Rising so fast?" Zhao Xu was a little strange, he knew a little bit about the inside of the Liao State, and knew what kind of official the envoy of the state army was.

"He made two great contributions," said Wu Haogu, "one was the suppression of the Bohai Nu of Xijin Prefecture; The other is the mural painting of the superintendent Huayan Temple. ”

"Murals?"

"'Prince Zhaohuai's Last Supper,'" replied Wu Haogu, "this is a mural painted by the minister, which depicts the last meal of Prince Zhaohuai of Liao before he suffered and became a Buddha. And this Prince Zhaohuai is the father of Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of the Emperor of Liao. ”

"Oh." Zhao Xu nodded, noncommittal.

Wu Haogu said again: "In addition, the minister also borrowed 15,000 Ma Zhi and asked him to buy an official. ”

"Oh." Zhao Xu just replied softly, as if he didn't care about what Wu Haogu said, it turned out that his attention was attracted by "Pingyan Nine Strategies".

"High! It's really high! Zhao Xu let out a soft exclamation, he had completely forgotten that he was summoning Wu Haogu while eating. Because the "Pingliao Nine Strategies" on the recital is too clever!

is not only smart, but also timely, which just solves several big problems faced by Zhao Xu.

First of all, it has solved the difficult problem of rectifying the east and west roads of Hebei.

Although Zhao Xu did not fight the old party figures after becoming a pro-government, but now his body is not as good as day by day, and he is about to give it up when he sees it, so he naturally does not like the further intensification of the vicious fighting in the temple after his death. Therefore, he has always been very difficult to rectify the issue of rectifying the east and west roads of Hebei -- this is not only to deprive the old party of political power, but also to seriously affect their economic interests.

In case these dogs jump over the wall in a hurry and make trouble, will Yan Yun take it back?

And in this "Pingyan Nine Strategies", a good method was put forward - to build a big commercial market on the border of Song and Liao, and make it the starting point of the Silk Road and the commercial and trade center of the Northland Sea. In this way, the commercial market can be used to collect grain and strong labor, and turn it into a large stronghold of Yanyun in the Northern Expedition, and the rectification of the east and west roads of Hebei can be greatly reduced.

The second problem of military training that gave Zhao Xu a headache, the sneak attack strategy in Pingyan's nine strategies, can also be partially solved.

By hoarding military rations and strong labor in the merchant market, it was possible to avoid large-scale efforts to rectify the localities, transport grain and grass, and recruit people—and these were the main bases for the Liao State to judge whether the Great Song would send troops.

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!

If the grain and grass are not transported, how can it be possible to send troops? Since the Song State will not send troops, Yanjing City does not need to be too vigilant......

And if the Liao State is unprepared, the Song army will be able to successfully attack in one fell swoop.

In addition, this commercial market can also play a role in recruiting unsatisfactory children of the Yanyun Han clan of the Liao State.

With the addition of these people, it will be much easier to attack Liao and Yanjing! They are the natives of Yanjing City.

And with the strategy of sneak attack and the help of the powerful children of the Han people in Yanjing, the difficulty of the Song army's northern expedition to Yanyun will be greatly reduced, and the elite soldiers required will also be greatly reduced......

As for what's wrong with this somewhat special commercial market, the current Zhao Xu chose to ignore it completely. Because he has no other way, the soldiers can't be trained, and the east and west roads of Hebei can't be moved. Yan Yun wants to recover again, except to relax his control over merchants a little bit and create a free business market, does Zhao Xu have anything else?

Not at all! And he is not Zhao Ji, he will rashly launch a Xuanhe Northern Expedition without good preparation, so the way of Wu Haogu is really the only feasible at present!

"Good! Good! It's ......" Zhao Xu finished reading "Pingyan Jiuce" in one go, and couldn't help but applaud loudly, "This Mr. Murong is really a rebirth of the ovary!" Wu Dalang, you have made a great contribution this time! I must reward you heavily. ”

Done a great job? And a lot of rewards?

When Wu Haogu heard Zhao Xu's evaluation, a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He originally thought that Zhao Xu would see the danger of the "ghost of capitalism", but he didn't expect that his vigilance as a feudal emperor was so low, no wonder he was regarded as a faint king!

Wu Haogu thought to himself: It seems that the most noble lighthouse, Free City, can appear on the land of China in the future.
