A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,734 The Prosperous Age, Re-Planning

The seed has come.

Shen An's family was about to go to the Wang family to congratulate him. When he heard that Zhong'e was coming, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't wait to participate in the Northern Expedition. Let him come."

Shen An stood in front of the hall and watched Zhong E coming.

Compared with before, Zhonge looked more calm now.

His steps looked unhappy. When he looked up and saw Shen An, there was a smile in his eyes, and then he held his hands, "I've seen Shen Long Tu!"

Shen An nodded, "Come for the Northern Expedition?"

"yes."

Zhong E didn't hide anything. The two went in and sat down. He said, "Xiaguan had several battles with the Liao army in Wulahai City in Shunzhou."

Shen An asked someone to get tea and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

"The Liao army dares to fight and has a good will."

Zhong E frowned and said: "Our army does not have the advantage. We fought several times and each side had its own victory or defeat."

"The Liao people's cavalry is not bad. You didn't use artillery, right?"

Shen An said and took a sip of tea.

Zhong E nodded, "No move. The court has stated that artillery must not be used unless it is in danger. Shen Longtu, what does this mean? Are you prepared to cause the Liao people to suffer a big loss in one fell swoop?"

Shen An shook his head, "We won't suffer a big loss. The main purpose is not to give the Liao people a chance to deal with it. If they know in advance that we have sharp weapons like artillery, they will adapt early and come up with ways to reduce losses in advance."

Zhong E understood, "Xia Guan just went to the Privy Council. Minister Wen said that this battle in Shunzhou is mainly about security. Shen Longtu, Xia Guan..."

Shen An knew what he was thinking. He asked someone to get a map, pointed at Wu La Haicheng and said: "Look here, the Liao army is stationed here now, and it belongs to the Xijing Road. But if the Song Dynasty conquered the land of Youyan , take a look again..."

Zhong E scratched his finger and said, "The Liao people's Xijing Road will be flanked by our army from both sides. In this way, Haicheng will definitely be attacked."

Shen An nodded and said with a smile: "But we can't fight now."

Zhong E looked up at him, "Are you worried that the lower official won't be able to stop the Liao people's counterattack?"

"Wulahai City stands alone. There is the Shangjing Road in front and the Xijing Road on the right. When you go up there, you will be flanked by two sides."

Shen An drew a line on the map, "Only by capturing the land of Youyan can the next step of the expedition begin."

"next time……"

Zhong E asked: "Xijing Road?"

"certainly."

Shen An's answer made Zhong E's blood boil.

"It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to eat up the behemoth Liao Kingdom at once. If it is too big, its teeth will break if you are not careful." Shen An explained to Zhong E the plan of the DPRK's conquest of the Liao Kingdom.

"The first step is to retake the land of Youyan and reshape a powerful posture. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. In this way, the morale of the domestic military and people will be greatly boosted."

"After stabilizing Youyan and other places, the second step is to capture the Xijing Road. Look, once the Xijing Road is captured, the Song Dynasty's territory in the north will almost become a line, and they will all push outward."

"The third step is the Zhongjing Road." Shen An tapped the Zhongjing Road on the map with his knuckles. "After taking this place, the Liao people could only escape into the grassland. From then on, they became nomadic tribes along with Zubu, Dilie and other tribes. . By that time, the overall situation of the Northern Expedition has been decided, and the Song Dynasty... will be prosperous!"

Zhong E was still thinking about that word until he left.

"The prosperous age!"

After returning to his residence, he kept looking at the map.

"Mr. Lang, what do the Privy Council say?"

As a staff member, Zhong Ping began to work around to manage the relationships between the Zhong family as soon as he arrived in Bianliang. When I came back now, I looked a little drunk.

Zhong E's eyes did not leave the map, "Privy Council... Wen Yanbo is not good at this. The Privy Council is run by civilian officials, and they are more on guard against military people. Fortunately, Shen An made a suggestion last time and allowed military people to enter the Privy Council, so that there would be no trouble. It’s a joke. Yes, it’s still a joke this time.”

"Did something go wrong?"

Zhongpei went to the side and made himself a cup of hot tea, drinking it happily.

"Yeah." Zhong E turned around and said disdainfully: "Someone actually proposed to go all the way to Zhongjing Road and force Yelu Hongji directly into the grassland. How did such idiots get into the Privy Council?"

"inappropriate?"

Thongpei walked to the map.

Zhong E said: "Then I went to Shen's house and Shen Longtu said something, so I felt I had gone to the right place."

He pointed at the map and said: "We must first capture the land of Youyan, which must be stabilized. How will the local Han'er be appeased and frightened? How will the Liao people be resettled? If we don't understand these things clearly, what will happen if the army rushes out and someone makes trouble in the rear? "

Zhong Ping nodded, "It flourishes vigorously, but its demise is also sudden!"

"I think Wen Yanbo is not worthy of being the Privy Councilor!"

Zhong E said angrily: "It would be better to go up to Shen Long Tu instead. It will ensure that the Song Dynasty's foreign expeditions are well organized and invincible."

"But it is the rule for civil servants to accept privy envoys."

Zhongping felt that Zhonge was a bit whimsical.

Zhong E said coldly: "But isn't Shen Longtu a civil servant?"

hiss……

Tanehira took a deep breath, "You won't...you won't incite with others, right?"

"The memorial has been uploaded."

Zhonge's audacity was unparalleled among the martial arts community, but this time even Zhongpei was shocked.

"Mr. Lang, Shen Longtu is less than thirty years old, how can he serve as Privy Councilor?"

"I don't care so much!" Zhong E said angrily: "Today I went to the Privy Council and asked about the attack in the direction of Shunzhou. The officials of the Privy Council hesitated and didn't answer the question. Finally I met Wen Yanbo, who seemed calm. But I have no idea at all.”

"Where are those warriors who have entered the Privy Council?"

"They are not good at planning." Zhong E covered his forehead and said: "At this moment, I know that the warriors of the Song Dynasty have too few generals and handsome men, and even short-sighted people can run rampant. Only when Shen Longtu enters the Privy Council can such warriors rest assured. Otherwise... ...I’m afraid that everything coming out of the Privy Council is a bad idea! If you don’t just trick the brothers to death, they will also trick the Song Dynasty.”

Zhong Ping sighed: "I'm afraid the officials are going crazy."

Zhao Shu is going crazy.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial from Zhong E and others."

"Let Shen An enter the Privy Council?"

Zhao Shu found it a bit funny, "I want Shen An to go to the Third Division in the future. What's the benefit of the Privy Council?"

After reading the memorial, he suddenly sneered: "The warriors are restless and dissatisfied."

"Call the Prime Minister and ask Wen Yanbo to come too."

Later, when the ministers and ministers came, Zhao Shu said: "Someone has written a memorial and recommended that Shen An be admitted to the Privy Council. What do you think?"

Wen Yanbo immediately felt a thump in his heart.

Shen An entered the Privy Council...

What position in the Privy Council could accommodate him?

"Your Majesty, Shen An used to serve as Deputy Cheng of the Privy Council. Now that he is allowed to join the Privy Council, I am afraid that only the position of Cheng of the Privy Council can be placed. It will not work."

Han Qi had a headache, "But we can't let him serve as Privy Deputy, right? He's too young, too young. Once he gets in... he won't be able to move around for at least ten years. I'm afraid Shen An won't be happy to go to Dian Mao every day."

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at Wen Yanbo, and said enthusiastically: "Why don't Wen Yanbo tell me."

Talk about your sister!

Wen Yanbo is optimistic about Shen An, but that doesn't mean he is willing to let Shen An serve as his deputy.

Shen An is too evil in what he does, and his methods are sometimes ruthless and sometimes gentle, leaving you confused and bewildered.

With such a deputy, Wen Yanbo felt that his life would be shortened by ten years.

"Shen An...not even thirty yet, right?"

Wen Yanbo just said this and returned to work.

Being too young is also a disadvantage in official circles.

Han Qi thought for a while and felt that it would be pointless to launch another attack.

Zhao Shu was thinking about the meaning of Wu Ren's advice.

He glanced at Han Qi and asked, "How is the Privy Council and Sanya planning the Northern Expedition?"

Wen Yanbo left the mission and said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has made many plans, and now it has something to show for it. After this year, after the Great Court Meeting, the army will have to move all the way to the north. Food, grass and other baggage will have the support of those wealthy merchants on the spot. It can reduce a lot of losses..."

He talked a lot all the way, and Zhao Shu suddenly asked: "How did the Privy Council plan for the war?"

"The army will attack along Fan Yang's front line together, and finally attack Youzhou City."

It's a good plan, at least there's nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Shu fell silent.

Wen Yanbo was also a little confused.

Planning wars is really not his strong point. If you want to say that he is capable of literary and military skills, that is really nonsense. So he just relayed the final plan from the Privy Council.

What does official mean?

Everyone looked at Zhao Shu, wondering why the official asked this question.

He doesn't really want Shen An to enter the Privy Council, does he?

Han Qi thought this was a good thing and assured Wen Yanbo that he wanted to cry.

Shen An always likes to dig holes and bury people, so it would be best to bury Wen Yanbo in one fell swoop.

"These plans... are good."

Zhao Shu spoke, making Wen Yanbo feel relieved.

How important is the Northern Expedition? If the failure was due to the Privy Council's oversight, Wen Yanbo would be more than worthy of his death.

Zhao Shu sighed, UU Reading www.uukanshhu.net "The plan for the war... I thought it should be open to public opinion."

Wen Yanbo felt that it was not good.

"Although young people are young, they have been in battle for a long time. Wen Qing..."

Wen Yanbo lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Later he returned to the Privy Council and called everyone to discuss matters.

"The officials wanted to invite Shen An to discuss the Northern Expedition."

Everyone was startled, "Our plan has been rejected?"

Wen Yanbo frowned and said nothing.

This is the default.

It’s so uncomfortable!

"The plan I racked my brains to come up with is actually not good?"

"Someone dared to say that there was not a single flaw, so why was it rejected?"

In an instant, the Privy Council was filled with excitement.

They were not targeting Shen An, they just felt aggrieved.

Wen Yanbo took a long time to say: "The official's intention is the young commander of the Privy Council."

Without talented people, officials will not trust the plans they make.

Why!

Wen Yanbo glanced at several generals and said, "Some military officials have suggested that Shen An should be admitted to the Privy Council."

Several privy deputies felt as if their buttocks were on fire and couldn't sit still.

That Shen An is a famous general. If he enters the Privy Council, we may all become green leaves.

But some people are secretly happy.

Later, when everyone went out, many people gathered together and murmured.

"If Shen Longtu comes to serve in the Privy Council, our Privy Council will definitely be proud and proud."

"yes!"

"When Shen Longtu served in the Privy Council, the fourth room of the Privy Council turned around."

An aura that made Wen Yanbo somewhat uneasy lingered in the Privy Council until Shen An arrived.
