As the saying goes, a mule or a horse, and you can take it out. Since you were struggling around in the Liao Kingdom, Wang Ning'an has no sense of awe of this giant. He has sent an army of 200,000 to dream!

The speed of the Liao Kingdom was no worse than that of the Song Dynasty. Now that the Song army can have half of the combat effectiveness of the first half of the country, it has long been restored to Yan Yun. Unfortunately, the scholars in the Song Dynasty were weak, and they broke the backbone of the generals. All the civil and military officials were afraid of the enemy and missed the opportunity.

"You might as well let the Liao soldiers come and see how capable they are? If you are not talented, I will fight with them later!" Wang Ning'an said disdainfully: "The only thing left is to scare people in the Liao Kingdom now. I am not those corrupt scholars and courageless cowards!"

Ouyang Xiu turned his eyes and said, "Arrogant boy, you really have the courage!"

"Is it really a pony that the road is narrow, and I just fought with Liao Kingdom and lost myself?" Ouyang Xiu said bluntly: "Do you boy know how you came back alive?"

Wang Ning'an was stunned. Why did he come back? He came back from the ice! Anyway, your old man didn't go to help. Ouyang Xiu snorted and pulled Wang Ning'an to the front of a map of Hebei. The old master pointed a string of points.

Guangxin Army, Ansu Army, Baoding Army, Xin'an Army, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Dingzhou, Baigouyi, Tianjiazhai, Langchengzhai... The entire border of Song and Liao dynasties is hundreds of miles long, with beacons everywhere.

The Wang family army entered the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom's troops would not be polite. They went south and the Song army was exhausted and suffered heavy losses. If Lao Fan had not been in charge, these places might not be able to defend.

Wang Ning'an looked at the dense red dots and shivered all over, and cold sweat came out. No wonder he didn't feel too much pressure. Entering and leaving Liao Kingdom was like entering a no-man. Even if Liao Kingdom was no longer so cowardly.

It turned out that Fan Zhongyan took the main pressure on him and attracted the Liao soldiers to other places, which allowed the Wang family army to show its strengths.

The joyful feeling in my heart ran away 80% at this moment.

Wang Ning'an was really glad that he invited Lao Fan over. This man not only knows how to fight, but also has a rare gentleman. With such a commander, they can fight for the battle with confidence, otherwise the Wang family's army might be defeated this time.

Wang Ning'an bowed deeply and came from the heart.

Fan Zhongyan did not take credit for it, so he reached out to help Wang Ning'an up.

"Erlang, as an official, I have a responsibility to guard the territory. I have only fulfilled my duties. But you really made my eyes shine." Fan Zhongyan asked with a smile: "How many people have you killed?"

Wang Ning'an couldn't stand others being kind to him. He restrained all his frivolity just now and said honestly: "It should be more than 18,000, less than 20,000."

As soon as this number came out, the old guys became even more happy. Fan Zhongyan smiled with relief and glanced at Ouyang Xiu.

"Uncle Yong, it seems that my resignation is worth it."

"What?" Wang Ning'an was puzzled, "Mr. Fan, why did you resign?"

Fan Zhongyan was careless and smiled and said, "I have resigned, I am not in charge. From now on, I will go to Liuyi Academy to teach. I wonder if the Finance Minister will take it in?"

Of course Wang Ning'an didn't say that Lao Fan joined, who was more important than Ouyang Xiu, but he was just a good person. How could Fan Zhongyan resign?

Wang Ning'an was confused... In fact, the incident happened to Fan Zhen. The team escorted him was attacked by a sneak attack. Fan Zhen disappeared. As the deputy envoy of the Transportation Transportation, he was also considered a rank-in official. He was very famous before, which caused a stir and everything he said. Some people pointed out that the place where Fan Zhen was looted was more than 300 miles away from the border of Liao Kingdom. Even if the Liao soldiers attacked Caogu, they would not go so far. They even robbed prisoners. Therefore, they proposed to send specialists to investigate thoroughly and find out the real culprit.

When Wang Ning'an heard Ouyang Xiu's introduction, his heart shrank. As expected, there were no fools in the world. He killed Fan Zhen and thought he was perfect, but in fact he left a huge hidden danger. If he really sent a thorough investigation, he might have implicated the Wang family.

After all, the alcohol workshop belongs to the Wang family. Once the civil servants are targeted, many things in the Wang family will be difficult to deal with... Wang Ning'an couldn't help but be afraid, and as expected, he couldn't do things for a while.

Wang Ning'an was very lucky because he met Fan Zhongyan.

Lao Fan submitted apology. Under his rule, the court ordered the officials to disappear for no reason. He was willing to take on all the blame. Now Hebei is in chaos and the Liao gangs are moving south from time to time. It is really not suitable for investigation. For the sake of military morale and the safety of the imperial envoy, the court asked to postpone the dispatch of people.

In fact, everyone in the officialdom understands that everything is temporary. After the limelight comes, they will not hold on to Fan Zhen’s affairs.

In this way, Fan Zhongyan was removed from the position of Hebei Transportation Envoy. Due to the tense war, Fan Zhongyan continued to take office before the court sent personnel.

Lao Fan used his resignation to give Fan Zhen an explanation for his death, and no one could implicate the Wang family in the future.

There were not many days to meet, and Lao Fan actually helped so much. Wang Ning'an was really moved.

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "Erlang, don't learn from his younger daughter's attitude. I am over 60 years old and my qi and blood are in decline. I have been unable to drive it. It is my blessing to be able to resign and resign and teach for a few years with peace of mind. Fan Zhen destroyed the good smuggling. In the past half month, 10,000 or 20,000 people have starved to death one after another. He is worth his death!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. You kid are good at killing 20,000 Liao bandits. Even if I resign, I will be very comforted." Fan Zhongyan sighed: "When I was a teenager, I thought about enriching the country and strengthening the army and restoring Yan Yun. Later, I was lucky to be the prime minister and received his majesty's appreciation. I wrote ten letters to write, but I didn't expect that nothing could be accomplished. Now my temples are gray and I haven't had much time. Not only has the great troubles of the Liao Kingdom yet, but Li Yuanhao appeared, which is really a great shame for my Song Dynasty! Since the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, when has my Han Erlang been bullied to this point? The shame of annual monies and Yan Yun's hatred often make me sleepless at night!"

Fan Zhongyan's words were the blood-crying words of a scholar-official.

Wang Ning'an could clearly feel the old man's grief and anger. The Liao Kingdom was established before the Song Dynasty and had a strong foundation. The two failures of the Northern Expeditions were nothing to say.

But Li Yuanhao is nothing, and he can ride on the neck of the Song Dynasty to scatter and urinate... It was the defeat of the Northwest that gave birth to the Qingli New Deal. It was really painful to Lao Fan.

"In the past few years, I have always seen famous generals withering and weak military preparations. The officials in the court have been conservative and mediocre, and they are extremely disappointed. I didn't expect that in my twilight years, I was so happy to see young talents!"

Wang Ning'an blushed, not expecting that he was so important, so he quickly said, "My husband praised me, I am ashamed."

"I'm pretty self-aware. Brother Xiwen is talking about the Six Arts School." Ouyang Xiu's inappropriate voice sounded. Wang Ning'an was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Fan Zhongyan quickly smoothed out the situation: "Erlang is naturally also a young talent, and I am the pillar of the future of the Song Dynasty."

With the word "典", Wang Ning'an was classified as "wait". Suddenly, Wang Ning'an's spirit became countless times weaker, and he became dejected.

It’s all because of my own self-indulgence. Lao Fan was willing to give up his official position and protect himself because he looked at the Six Arts School. It’s not for you, Wang Ning'an!

Although the gratitude is still there, the taste is more than just a little worse.

Wang Ning'an said with a silence, "Grandpa Fan, I'm ashamed. Among the people we killed, there are not many Liao bandits."

Fan Zhongyan pondered and asked, "Are they Han from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

"Well, the Liao bandits I can confirm, besides burning to death with the Fire Horse Formation, they also fell into the Yellow River and drowned. The rest were very small, less than three thousand people! The rest were local Han citizens, and these three thousand people, not a single siege army, were all ordinary Liao soldiers." After Wang Ning'an finished speaking, he said with a loss: "Mr. Fan, do you think it is not worth resigning?"

Fan Zhongyan looked at the depressed Wang Ning'an and suddenly laughed.

"Do you think I really care about how many people? What I care about is your fighting spirit and fearless!" Fan Zhongyan said enthusiastically: "I believe that one day, you will definitely kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Liao bandits and take back Yan Yun. Do you have this confidence?"

"That's natural! I also want to dig out the bodies of Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang and others, whip three hundred times to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Wang family!"

"Okay, I remember."

Fan Zhongyan nodded with satisfaction. When he was with the young man, his old husband was infected and became full of hope and fighting spirit. However, the things in front of him were a bit tricky.

The imperial envoys from the Liao Kingdom had arrived in the Song Dynasty. There is no need to doubt that they would definitely blackmail them, increase the annual monarch, deal with the culprits, and make great benefits. In short, the visitors were not good.

What is the most feared thing when fighting in front of you? The boss suddenly said he would not fight anymore and he was still rushing forward. Grandpa Yue died unjustly because he was so bad that he died unjustly.

With the virtue of the Song Dynasty, they might really make concessions to the Liao Kingdom. In the past, the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage. This time, the Wang family army took the initiative to attack and ran to the Liao Kingdom to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. They were not punished and could not be punished!

Moreover, some censors have impeached the Wang family and his son. In their minds, they can get peace by making a small military officer. It is really a good business, and they must welcome them with both hands.

The Liao soldiers are not scary, what is scary is the pig teammates!

"Erlang, how sure are you sure that Liao Kingdom is bluffing?" Ouyang Xiu asked solemnly.

"Ten thousand." Wang Ning'an did not hesitate, "Liao is worried about foreign troubles. Not to mention 200,000 troops, even 20,000 people can't be sent out."

After receiving a positive answer from Wang Ning'an, the two old masters felt a clear idea.

We must be tough on the Liao Kingdom and let them retreat when they meet the difficulties!

But the question is who will convince the court? Fan Zhongyan is responsible for his crimes and cannot do without Hebei. Ouyang Xiu is not in military affairs, and Wang Ning'an is eloquent, but firstly, he is too young and has no weight. Secondly, once the Liao troops head south, the Wang family army will have to deal with it, and Wang Ning'an cannot leave.

Who is suitable to go to the capital and convince the court?

Wang Ning'an's eyes rolled, and suddenly he thought of someone, who looked at Ouyang Xiu and tacitly.

"Su Laoquan, no one is more suitable than him!"
