A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 370 Idiot

Shen An was in a very good mood, extremely good.

So after some deception made Wang Yu feel dizzy, he happily went home and was lazy.

"Shen is waiting for the edict. Your Majesty will summon you."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen couldn't see him enjoying himself at home. When he arrived at the palace, he saw a group of ministers chattering.

"...Then Wu Zangying Pang actually sent troops. It can be seen that the incident in Jingguan angered him. What should we do about this matter?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of troops! Is there any way to block Linfu Road? It's probably impossible to stop them. We need to send reinforcements quickly."

"Shen An is here."

The ministers stopped whispering and looked at Shen An who came in.

What's going on here?

Could it be that my brother has become handsome again?

Being stared at by these people, Shen An felt hairy and uncomfortable at all.

Zhao Zhen sat on it, covering his forehead with his hands and feeling worried.

"There is no excuse for Pang to send troops."

Just one sentence made Shen An's heart tremble.

This is not right!

The Xixia people should be very honest at this time, and there is no hidden truth that Pang is planning to usurp his nephew's throne, and Li Liangzuo is planning to kill this powerful uncle.

The two big bosses of Xixia should not care about harassing the Song Dynasty. Why send troops at this time?

Zhao Zhen let go and said: "Previously, Tang Ren, deputy minister of the Privy Council, said that the Xixia envoy was shocked when he learned the news. Obviously this was not a premeditated dispatch..."

Tang Ren was on the right. Shen An glanced at him and said, "The Xixia Kingdom is in a difficult situation, and the internal fighting should be the most intense at this moment. So this time we send troops... I just heard that it was one hundred thousand?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, with a worried look on his eyebrows, "It is said to be an army of one hundred thousand. Even if there is not one hundred thousand, there will always be fifty thousand."

"Why is there no emergency report from Fuzhou?"

Fu Bi was a little annoyed and felt that Zhe Jizu was a little domineering.

"This report comes from Hedong."

Han Qi said angrily: "Who is that from the Linfu Road Army and Horse Division...Chen Ang? What is he doing? Why didn't he report it?"

After the last great victory, Chen Ang is said to have changed a lot. But no matter what happens, you can't just wear the same pants as Zhejia!

At this moment, everyone held a moment of silence for Chen Ang.

You may have colluded with the Zhe family, but this is also your disaster.

Once the paperwork is over, you're ready to go to the wilderness to fend for yourself.

"Chen Ang came to report a while ago. He and Zhe Jizu share the same view. They both feel that the Xixia people are not of concern at the moment."

This statement made Han Qi feel that it was simply ridiculous.

"absurd!"

He left the mission and said: "In which year did the Xixia people not come to harass the Song Dynasty? In which year did they not report to Linfu Road to ask for help? This year, it has changed... Who has changed this? I thought I was going to send someone to investigate. Carefully check!"

As long as there is something involving military personnel, the first reaction of civilian officials is to investigate strictly, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, suppress it first and then talk about it.

"It's time to do some research and see if Fuzhou is still a place in the Song Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, they resonated with several ministers, but the prime ministers and ministers did not join in the fun, but only discussed how to reinforce Hedong.

Yes, it's not to reinforce Linfu Road, but to reinforce Hedong.

Linfu Road is separated from the mainland of Song Dynasty by the Yellow River, which is like an enclave.

To reinforce Hedong Road, we need to check the situation first. If the Xixia people are powerful, then defend. As for Linfu Road, let them guard it behind closed doors.

Hearing these clamors, Shen An suddenly said with a smile: "Is there some misunderstanding about this matter?"

Everyone was startled, and someone said: "The Xixia people have raised an army of 100,000 and are about to attack the city. What is the misunderstanding?"

Someone said surreptitiously: "Shen Daizhao, I heard that you are on good terms with the Zhe family, but this is a major military matter and personal relationships cannot be tolerated."

This man definitely belongs to the group of powerful people. This is public revenge!

Shen An said that in the future, the children of powerful people would not be allowed to study at the Imperial Academy. The powerful people were so angry that they wanted to hack him to death with swords. But this is Bianliang. It doesn’t matter whether they dare to take action or not. They can’t win even if they take action.

Outside the city, there was a Mangshan Army doing nothing. The soldiers who had been training all day were helpless and would rather go to the battle formation and charge than be trapped in Zhuangzi.

So the powerful people just roared loudly, and no one dared to vent their anger yet.

But not taking action doesn't mean not taking action. It would be great to give Shen An a hand in the court!

Shen An recognized this person, remembering that his name was Liu Zhan, and what his position seemed to be... He still smiled and said: "A son of a powerful person is attached to study at the Imperial Academy. This matter has nothing to do with military affairs, right?"

Damn it!

Fu Bi couldn't help but cover his eyes, and Han Qi turned his head uncomfortably.

Everyone knew that Liu Zhan and Shen An were not going to deal with each other, so he came out to sarcastically hint at this moment, reminding everyone that Shen An and Zhejia were so good that they were about to wear a pair of trousers, and there was something wrong with this stance.

Logically, Shen An should explain everything one by one. If the explanation doesn't make sense, he should accept the ridicule.

But this person didn't follow common sense and directly exposed the contradiction.

——Brother knows that you want revenge, so don’t hide it, go straight to it.

This person really has no official appearance at all, he does things straightforwardly and specializes in breaking the rules.

Liu Zhan blushed for a moment, and then said righteously: "What are you talking about as an attached student? This is the imperial court!"

These words are very righteous and awe-inspiring: there are no personal grudges in the court.

Shen An smiled and nodded. Just when Liu Zhan was feeling proud, Shen An's expression turned cold and he shouted: "Since there are no selfish matters in the court, what are you saying before Shen expresses his opinion on this matter?" ?”

Liu Zhan's face turned really red now, as red as a monkey's butt.

Just when he was about to refute, Shen An took a few steps closer and said aggressively: "Shen said it might be a misunderstanding. Is that wrong?"

Liu Zhan pointed at him and said, "You are standing with the Zhe family..."

"Bullshit!"

Shen An took a step closer and said, "If Shen and the Zhe family are in the same group, there won't be any misunderstanding at this moment, and they are fully advocating that Hedong and Linfu Road should be reinforced immediately... Do you still dare to quibble?"

Shen An sneered: "If a hundred thousand troops come from Xixia, how can Linfu Road block it? But is Linfu Road worth it when they send a hundred thousand troops? Tell me!"

He drank suddenly at the end, and Liu Zhan couldn't help but subconsciously said: "Of course it's worth it..."

"idiot!"

Shen An left him behind and cupped his hands towards Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, Linfu Road is also bordering the Liao people. If the Xixia people want to retaliate, at most 30,000 troops will be enough. A hundred thousand troops... It is not hidden that Pang wants to fight. Linfu Road, do you still want to raid the Liao people?"

Linfu Road only has two small places, Linzhou and Fuzhou, with Xixia on the left and Liao on the right. However, behind Linfu Road is not land, but the Yellow River.

In other words, Linfu Road is a "three no matter" zone, where all three kingdoms exist, and it affects the whole body.

hiss!

Han Qi suddenly took a breath of cold air and said: "That's right! He's not hiding anything, and Pang is not stupid. Even if he really wants to take revenge on Linfu Road, he won't call out a hundred thousand troops, otherwise the Song Dynasty will send reinforcements. That’s all, at most it will cost some money and food, but what will happen to the Liao people?”

He looked at Shen An, with an unknown look in his eyes.

This young man actually saw something fishy in this matter at a glance. How did he develop such a brain?

Instead of examining the limitations of his thinking, he was afraid of Shen An's intelligence.

Shen An faced Han Qi's fearful gaze. He was not worried, but nodded slightly, as if listening to the praise of his subordinates.

This gesture made Han Qi very angry, but he couldn't care about it at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Liao people are going to increase their troops."

Zhao Zhen was excited, and then said: "That's right! Without hiding, Pang called out a hundred thousand troops, and he used his troops in the narrow Linfu Road area..."

When the Liao people heard that the Xixia people had raised an army of 100,000 and headed for Linfu Road, they thought they had not hidden it and Pang went crazy. So scouts went out in all directions and the army gathered to be on guard against the Xixia people who said they were attacking Linfu Road, but in fact But he was preparing to give it to himself for a while.

He looked at the prime ministers and asked, "How dare you cross the river without hiding anything?"

This question asked whether the Xixia people dared to cross the Yellow River and attack Hedong Road after capturing Linzhou and Fuzhou.

"I don't dare to hide anything."

It is up to Han Qi to explain this matter. He has been reviewing his failures recently and gained some insights.

"Once the Xixia people cross the Yellow River, no matter how successful they are in the battle with Hedong Road, aren't they worried that the Liao people will stab them from behind?"

He said with piercing eyes: "So the Xixia people can only celebrate in rings."

Huanzhou was the Huanxian generation in later generations, while Qingzhou was in the Qingyang area in later generations, located in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, then frowned and said, "Then what does Wu Zang's so-called 100,000-strong army mean?"

Han Qi said: "Maybe it's a bluff. After all, Xixia was defeated last time. If he didn't take some measures, the country would probably look down on him."

Fu Bi thought this analysis was good: "Your Majesty, what powerful ministers fear most is losing their authority. Once they lose their authority, powerful ministers will be besieged on all sides."

This analysis was not bad. All the ministers nodded, and even Zhao Zhen relaxed his brows.

At this moment, most of the people throwing cold water are fools.

Shen An was that fool. He came out and said, "Your Majesty, I dare you to ask the Imperial City Secretary."

Zhang Baibian was present, but there was no room for him to speak.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Shen An asked: "I would like to ask, what happened to Li Liangzuo from the Xixia Kingdom?"

Zhang Baibian looked at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen nodded again, and then he said: "Li Liangzuo took charge last year, but the power is still in the hands of Wu Zangying Pang. Li Liangzuo was a little dissatisfied, and he killed Wu Zangying Pang. He killed several of his cronies..."

When a minister kills the king's cronies, his treasonous intentions are clearly revealed!

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "They are all traitors and traitors."

Zhang Ba8 said: "He is the rebellious minister and traitor. Li Liangzuo is now handing over important ministers in the court. As long as he has no hidden enemies, he will pay more attention to them..."

All the ministers were sighing and happy, wishing that the Xixia people would fight among themselves and beat people's brains into dog brains.

"This is about to take action!"

Shen An said firmly: "At this time, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net I don't dare to think about how Zang Pang dared to be the enemy of the Song Dynasty."

"He needs to establish his authority!"

This is a mainstream judgment. Just like those powerful officials for thousands of years, establishing authority has always been an indispensable means for them.

"I would like to ask Zhang Douzhi, who is the leader of the army?"

Zhang Baibian said: "It is said that he is someone who has not hidden any falsehoods."

"This is it."

Shen An said confidently: "Your Majesty, how could Pang Zang be willing to let his strength be damaged at this time? So I thought this was just a bluff..."

"bluff……"

The king and his ministers were all deep in thought, but Shen An was very confident.

There was no trouble at all, but Li Liangzuo successfully killed him. Shen An knew this.

He remembered that Li Liangzuo came to power when Renzong was in power, and when he compared the news from the Imperial City Division with his memory, he immediately concluded that it was false news.

Historically, all the monarchs of Xixia were named Li, but I have never heard of anyone named Wu Zang.

I am the prophet!

At this moment, Shen An felt that he was overlooking the monarchs and ministers in the palace...

As for Liu Zhan, who had ridiculed him before, he was lowering his head now, as if there was a flower blooming on his feet.

The previous chapter said that the votes were returned to the warehouse, which meant voting for the man, not the book in the warehouse.
