Chapter 753: No Strength, Wu Dalang, Tong Guan

In the temporary residence of Wu Haoheng in Tongwan City, this Kaifeng-style family dinner was extremely comfortable for everyone.

These days in the northwest battle, there is no shortage of wine and meat, but the food in Kaifeng’s folk style can only be tasted in dreams. Bai Feifei and her two female apprentices took action to cook an authentic Kaifeng dish, with fruits of chewing gum, mustard melons, green and tender wild vegetables, and rice porridge was slightly yellow. The carp caught in Wuding River was boiled with thick soup. Of course, the most distinctive Kaifeng dish, lard fried chicken.

These are the delicious foods cooked by three beauties who are not good at makeup and are beautiful. Moreover, the three beauties are accompanying each other in the meal. How can they not be called Wu Haogu? Gao Qiu and Tong Guan have a bright mind?

After a little bit of wine and food, the three of them who were holding the beauty also let go and kept talking and laughing. They were talking about the romantic and romantic things of Kaifeng Prefecture, and they were vaguely homesick. Bai Feifei's clever mouth was quite good at meeting the situation. From time to time, a few smiles could make the two and a half-girls present (Tong Guan can only be considered half) happy.

The head of the courtesan in Xiefang Building, Kaifeng Prefecture is really well-deserved!

"Brother Gao," Bai Feifei smiled at Gao Qiu and said in a pure Kaifeng accent, "I heard that you are the number one general of the Song Dynasty now. Last time you were in Hehuang, and this time you were in Wudinghe, you were in the top of your skills. Nu Nu admired you very much, so I would like to pay a cup to Brother Gao first."

Gao Qiu waved his hand and smiled, "Feifei, don't listen to people's nonsense. It's not the top skill. Last time, he was all in Hehuang. And this time, Dalang is the top skill!"

After hearing this, Wu Haogu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, why are you so humble? A certain businessman who can't fight can make a contribution?"

"Oh," Gao Qiu smiled, "Why don't you fight? The command of that military opportunity and the command of two engineers are all established by you? In addition, using knights and military officers to train the soldiers in the palace is also your way! These three methods alone can help you confirm a generation of famous generals!"

Wu Haogu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He listened to Gao Qiu's words, but his eyes swept over Tong Guan's face and then. He only saw this big siew with a smile on his face and holding his beard, but he didn't know what he was thinking?

"Brother Gao, don't show your respect." Retracting his eyes, Wu Haogu continued to be humble, "Isn't a famous general of my generation? I can't even tell the golden drum military horn at all. Establishing military command is just because I really don't know how to fight, so I have to rely on those knights who know how to do things. Aren't those knights brought by Brother Gao?"

"I also took it ready," Gao Qiu shook his head, "No one in the palace's Royal Horses were trained by me... If there is any credit, it should be Mr. Murong's."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Mr. Murong just led the knights into the military school, and really took them to the battlefield and formed them into the army. Isn't it still Brother Gao? I think the first merit this time is yours. Official Tong, don't you?"

Tong Guan just smiled and looked at Wu Haogu, and then looked at Gao Qiu, but just smiled and didn't answer. In fact, Wu Haogu's modesty surprised him a little. This time his first achievement was undoubtedly Wu Haogu!

Moreover, Wu Haoguyi accidentally created four new ways in the way of military learning. One is to rely on military opportunities to command and dispatch; the second is to form professional engineers; the third is to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall; the fourth is to use knights to control the palace soldiers.

Just these few things, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a military scholar!

I can't fight yet... This humbleness is a bit too much.

Seeing Tong Guan silently and looking at Gao Qiu, he was still thinking. Wu Haogu felt a little anxious. It was true that all those who could become famous in history were not simple!

"Brother Gao, Grand Official Tong," Wu Haogu thought about the words, "After all, I am a businessman. The battlefield is not a place where you can gallop for a long time. So this credit is enough... Could it be that someone still has to lead troops to fight in the bitter and cold areas of the northwest for a long time? What's the point of fighting this battle? There are still a lot of things in Jiehe Commercial City, and the development of the Southeast Sea has just begun!"

What this is said is reasonable.

Tong Guan nodded slightly, but still did not express his opinion.

Wu Haogu continued: "Brother Daofu, Brother Shi Yan, you two are the ones who are truly leading the army to fight. As generals, you need to be credited to gain favor and establish your reputation. With favor and reputation, you can continue to serve the country and the officials in the army. Therefore, this time, the first contribution is certainly from Brother Gao."

Gao Qiu shook his head, and wanted to be humble again, but he didn't expect that Gao Qiu was also a gentleman who knew how to be humble, Wu Haogu hurriedly continued: "As for Brother Daofu, he is now a prime minister. Shuofang Lu Zheng comforted the commander and sealed the border. It was too inconvenient to have no soldiers in his hand. Why not choose more than 10,000 heroes from the Sanzhi Army to follow!"

Wu Haogu's proposal shocked Tong Guan and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, how can our family get involved in the Sanzhi Army?"

"Yes," Gao Qiu also said, "Sanzhi Army is the army of the Palace Front Office!"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "The Knights in front of the Palace and the Dragon Emperor are the people in the Palace and the others are not! Someone means that Brother Daofu might as well leave the more than 10,000 spear-giving soldiers in Shuofang. Although the number of people is not large, it is a good way... There are as many soldiers in the Palace!"

Tong Guan frowned when he heard this. Of course, he knew the benefits of the spear soldiers in the Sanzhi Army, which was both cheap and easy to use!

The recruitment cost of this kind of "compulsory mansion soldier" is much lower than recruiting soldiers, and there is no need to pay any salary. It is really cheap! I originally thought that such cheap mansion soldiers were useless, and at most, they could not go to the battlefield if they were to serve as auxiliary soldiers and garrison soldiers.

But who would have thought that after several months of training, these soldiers of the palace were not only able to go to the battlefield, but also performed very well. Although they were not as good as the warriors, they were not inferior to the ordinary elite of the Western Army!

This matter is not as simple as unexpected, but it may destroy the jobs of a large number of people!

"Brother Daofu," Wu Haogu looked at Tong Guan seriously. "If the military soldiers can be used for a little training, they will not be concealed. Moreover, the generals and sects of the Western Army must now know... This is the credit of the three of us, and they cannot be pushed."

What this means is that the three of us offend people, and no one can escape. And the one who can't escape the most is you Tong Guan!

Wu Haogu can still go to Jiehe Market to avoid the limelight, but Gao Qiu can't go back to the front office of the Hunting Palace of Kaifeng Prefecture. However, Tong Guan has to take charge of the post on Shuofang Road. If there is no soldiers in his hand, he is regarded as the opponent of the Western Army generals. Then how can he be the Shuofang Road Strategy and Pacification Commander?

Seeing Tong Guan's brows getting tighter and tighter, Wu Haogu finally felt relieved. Tong Guan was Tong Guan after all, so how could the eunuch who was named king in history have no desire for fame and fortune? It is impossible to let him retreat bravely and let go of the power of Shuofang Lu Jingliu to comfort the commander and return to Kaifeng Prefecture to retire to retire.

"Chongdao, Shi Yan," Tong Guan finally said after thinking for a long time, "It's better to hand over a memorial to the official family together and talk about this Wudinghe Battle."

"Okay." Gao Qiu nodded.

"Everyone listened to Brother Doom." Wu Haogu also smiled.

Tong Guan said again: "The first merit of this war... Shi Yan, why don't you take care of it?"

Gao Qiu frowned slightly, as if he was worried that the limelight would be too much. Of course he didn't know Yue Fei's tragedy, but there was Di Qing ahead. The generals of the Song Dynasty were most afraid of being too popular. If they would become the target of public criticism, they would be challenged by endless problems in all aspects, and their lives would not be easy.

Tong Guan hurriedly said, "Shi Yan, don't worry, our family will also help with some of the government soldiers in the Sanzhi Army. Our family will report to the emperor to stay in Shuofang. And we will also ask for two or three hundred knights leading the troops to be responsible for training the government soldiers and form the military command of Shuofang Road. At the same time, we will report to the officials that knights from the Military Academy can lead troops and help generals command the command."

"This matter..." Gao Qiu was not stupid either, so he naturally knew that this matter was offensive!

Tong Guan smiled and said to Wu Haogu again: "Dalang, you can't stay out of the matter. You have to let Xianggong Su give a memorial to raise troops and train the soldiers of the palace. He is the husband, and his shoulders are more capable than us! And how wise the official family is? How can he not be so good? "

Wu Haogu understood, and Tong Guan knew that he could not escape, so he simply made things worse. He asked Su Dongpo, the right minister, to come forward and stab the hornet's nest of "military reform".

Wu is so beautiful, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu have thin shoulders and can't withstand too much pressure. But when Su Dongpo comes forward, it's different. He is a right prime minister. The target of public criticism is Su Dongpo. The Northern Song Dynasty emphasizes literature and neglects military officials. Apart from the censors, they are the left prime ministers. Those in the Western Army dare not argue with Su Dongpo, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a crime of domineering!

Moreover, Tong Guan knew that Zhao Ji was more impulsive. Seeing the memorials of Wu Haogu, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, and Su Dongpo's memorial, they would definitely approve the reform.

As soon as the official approved it, hehe, the mess was so big! There were a group of flattering civil servants and generals to agree. Wu Haogu, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were out of the trap?

"Okay!" Wu Haogu raised his glass and laughed, "It's better for Brother Daofu to have a solution! I admire you, I respect Brother Daofu to have a cup."

Tong Guan raised one hand and shook it, "Dalang, please toast slowly. We have something to do in our family and I want to ask you for help."

"What are you going to do to help?" Wu Haogu waved his hand generously, "The official's business is mine! Let's give orders!"
