After entering.

I saw Zhao Zhen lying halfway with a quilt covered with a bad face.

Pang Jiyu was both a teacher and a friend, and he felt distressed to see it.

When Zhao Zhen moved his body, Pang Ji hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor sit up.

Zhao Zhen exclaimed and said, "Nong Zhigao's ambition to kill my people on the frontier and cause the country to fall apart in Guangdong and Guangxi. I can't understand that my Song Dynasty just didn't accept him, but killing his people and conquering him was to join the village. How could he be so inhumane and bring about the great disasters in Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Pang Ji said: "Your Majesty is kind and has learned the great principles of scriptures since childhood. Of course, he does not know that the outsiders are sinister. I can only say that the world is big and strange. For example, there are people who are dissatisfied with society and over-suppressed in the streets of Bianjing. It is understandable to pick up the butcher knife, but he dare not look for enemies who are big and thick, and they will kill all women, girls and children who are not wronged or hated. They are nothing but cowardly, just to vent. Thanon Zhigao and military advisor Huang Shimi are such people."

Zhao Zhen sighed: "It is based on this idea that you and your disciples tried their best to prevent the court from accepting Nong Zhigao from joining Song, rather than simply being afraid of offending the address?"

Pang Ji bowed and said, "Officials, I am not even afraid of the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms. How could he consider his idea of ​​crossing the southern barbarians? It's really because Nong Zhigao cannot be married, nor can he accept it."

Of course things would not be so simple. When it comes to Nong Zhigao, Pang Ji must be suspected of wiping his disciples' butts.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhen cannot pursue this matter, otherwise he will be even less morale.

No matter what the bureaucrats in Guangxi did at that time, the facts proved that Nong Zhigao was indeed ambition and it was correct not to be included in the Song Dynasty.

After a while of silence, Zhao Zhen said again: "I hope to calm the war as soon as possible and let the people recuperate. Seeing that Nong Zhigao's southern army was unstoppable and became increasingly unstoppable. I originally planned to take the risk of transferring the Western army into Guang at the same time to cooperate with Di Qing in the battle."

"But at that time Ouyang Xiu and Wen Yanbo said that literati were adults and belonged to Yang. Martial people were villains and belonged to Yin. Water also belonged to Yin. If Di Qing was used in the rainy season, the overlap of the two Yins may cause floods."

Zhao Zhen said with great loss: "The situation at that time was that the two gangsters were quarreling with me. How could they come true now? I know that the sayings of ghosts and gods are not credible, but other literati believe it, and the people of the whole country believe it, alas."

Pang Ji said: "The most urgent task is that you can't take care of these things. As long as Di Qing comes out and wins, these evil words will be self-defeating. The problem is that the Yellow River section of Daming Prefecture is broken, and there is no capacity for the Western Army to use to dispatch troops and generals. The most urgent task is to concentrate all available forces to fight the flood in Daming Prefecture."

He continued, "Daming Prefecture, as the most important city in the north, is the key to military, transportation, and grain production. It must be given priority to rescue, and the priority must be higher than Guangdong and Guangxi. This is because Guangnan will not be worse now, but Daming Prefecture has just begun. If it is not handled well, it will be difficult for the north to breathe within three years, and it may even allow the Liao Kingdom to see the flaws and develop evil intentions."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Your Majesty will tell me. If you do not transfer the Western Army into Guangxi, how likely will Di Qing defeat it?"

Pang Ji said: "The battlefield changes rapidly, and there are too many uncertain factors. I can only say that Di Qing is an extreme military commander and is unlikely to lose. As for how long he can enter the state, it depends on the cooperation of the Cao family."

Zhao Zhen said anxiously: "Tell me how long will it take for Di Qing to get in and then fully command the Japanese army to win a victory. Guangdong, Guangxi, I, the Song Dynasty, need to hear the news of victory at this time."

Pang Ji did not want to give the emperor unrealistic hope, so he could only make a decision based on his own experience: "If I supervised Guangdong and Guangxi, I would not be in a hurry to fight, nor would I listen to the urging of the Privy Council. I would continue to practice roundaboutly and decisively, and I would be put into actual combat as soon as next year."

"next year!"

Zhao Zhen almost died of anger. It was only June.

In fact, Pang Ji has already made a conservative estimate and tried not to scare the emperor.

It is because Di Qing is a famous general and has too strong military talent. Perhaps he can complete the running-in early next year and a comprehensive survey of the terrain, terrain, people's situation and enemy situation.

Only when a comprehensive survey and evaluation are completed can the decisive battle be deployed. This is common military knowledge.

War is not about writing articles and chanting poems, but about the money and food of the Ministry of Revenue, the blood and tears of the soldiers and the people. If it goes against common sense, it is easy to cause irreversible major events.

"but……"

The emperor's face was so bad that Pang Ji couldn't bear to continue like this, so he planned to say something nice.

"But what?"

Zhao Zhen was usually afraid of hearing this word, because no matter how nice the word was said before, it was nonsense.

But now, the word appears as a turning point.

Pang Ji said: "There were two scholars who had brought nine people from Changzhou to 'send troops to Guangxi' and wrote to the court, which was a bit pretentious but also a bit tragic. I ignored them at that time. But considering that this was a positive incident, I did not scold me."

"Nine people entered Guangxi? I ​​have to thank them, but are there any problems with their brains?" Zhao Zhen laughed rarely, "Now, have they achieved results? Otherwise, my husband wouldn't have told me."

Pang Ji said: "Now, these two young bulls who have left their posts have become popular, and they have won seven battles and seven times. The Huaiyuan generation has dragged Nong Zhizhong tightly, making it unable to support Guangzhou."

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel moved: "This..."

Pang Ji said deflatedly: "The reason why I am not in a hurry to report to the official family is that their affairs are not suitable for publicity for the time being. This team is magical, but too... too..."

In the end, he saved the ugly words and said awkwardly: "Anyway, they did win several battles, but they were not big, mainly running away."

The deliberate emphasis on the word "escape" is that the emperor does not want the emperor to over-summon on them, because there may be situations where the greater the hope and the greater the disappointment.

I can only hope that the weather will be beautiful, so that these two scholars can develop as vulgar as possible. If they can form the main force of the decisive battle between Guangdong and Guangxi earlier than Di Qing's army, it would be best. It would allow the people to be baptized by two months less than the war and the emperor to worry about two months less than the emperor.

If the army cannot form a decisive battle in Guangzhou, just drag Nong Zhizhong's troops to Guangxi to minimize the pressure on Guangdong and wait for Di Qing to fight to the decisive battle. This is OK and one of the mainstays.

"It's hard for them to have such thoughts and actions when the country is in a turmoil."

After hearing about the deeds of these two guys, Zhao Zhen became significantly better.

The emperor was happy and Pang Ji was also happy. He twisted his beard and said deliberately: "It's great, but the one that is a bit tricky is that their reputation is too bad, so they will run away. Many people accused them of ruining the morale of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Talking randomly, this is not called running away. This is a tactic. People have not withdrawn from Guangdong and Guangxi, so they have given me less gossip. These guys have already harmed many people. It's okay, but I can't do anything to them now."

This is what I say, protecting the emotions of the younger generation are still very obvious, and this is really Zhao Zhen.

At this point, Pang Ji was relieved. With Lao Zhao's words, the emperor was the one who protected Zhao's safety. Lao Gao's words for the next time the general would be against the emperor.

When this was all bad news, Zhao Zhen was really happy to hear such strange things and was full of interest in the two of them.

So as soon as he got up, he said excitedly: "I am worried about the country in Guangdong and Guangxi, and they are supporting a broken country. I plan to give them the Sword of the Emperor..."

"The official is cautious."

Pang Ji quickly stopped the emperor who was about to commit a crime, and the reasons for stopping were made up for a moment: "They always... don't fight hard and run around all day long. It would be better if they gave the Emperor sword and were lost by them. I always felt that the two scholars were very loyal and brave... But whether their minds were normal remains to be seen. Why should His Majesty send an imperial physician to care and condolences?"
