Chapter 36: Fighting to fight

Wang Shao was a great general whom Song Shenzong relied on. His words were very heavy. When he heard this, Wu Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, Wang Shao immediately said: "Brother Wu, but this matter is too big. It is still unknown whether the government will obey it. Don't expect too much."

In order to save money, the Song Dynasty did not follow the path of elite soldiers, but implemented the strategy of "using footsteps to control cavalry". This idea was deeply rooted, from the emperor to ordinary soldiers, thinking so. It was difficult to change it.

After hearing his words, Wu Ji was helpless and shook his head and said, "Such an obvious thing cannot be implemented?"

"Brother Wu, I didn't tell you. This strategy has been implemented for dozens or hundreds of years, so it's not so easy to solve." Wang Shao patted Wu Ji's shoulder with his right hand and said, "If I don't talk about others, I'm just for my brother. If I hadn't listened to Brother Wu, I wouldn't have turned this corner. You have to know how difficult it is to make a stubborn donkey turn, let alone, this dynasty emphasizes culture over military forces. Most of the people who command soldiers do not know about military forces, and they will only take advantage of merit."

This is a real problem in the Song Dynasty. Wu Ji opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He really didn't know where to start.

"Actually, Brother Wu may not have no chance." Wang Shao kept patting Wu Ji's shoulders and said, "Brother Wu, you have a chance in your hand and you have to use it well."

"I have a chance?" Wu Ji was a little surprised and didn't understand why.

"Yes!" Wang Shao nodded with certainty and said, "The official family allowed Brother Wu to do things cheaply. You can make good use of this convenience. As long as Brother Wu works well and convinces people with victory, you will have a chance for you to think about it."

Facts are better than words. If Wu Ji fought a series of victories at the border, then the Song Dynasty would have to re-examine many issues. At that time, Wu Ji proposed to take the path of elite troops and would be very likely to succeed.

"Yes, this is really an opportunity." Wu Ji focused on the key points and was very excited. If the military reform of the Song Dynasty was promoted, the strength of the Song Dynasty greatly increased, and finally destroyed the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia, and completed the unification of China, it would be the supreme glory.

"Brother Wu, I have to remind you that if you want to speak and improve the army of the Song Dynasty, you must make merits and speak in the court with weight. Only in this way can you succeed." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji, his eyes flashed with light, and he said with emotion: "Brother Wu, over the years, I have also wanted to change the army, but I have a strong force in my brother alone, although it is still far from enough. If Brother Wu's weight increases greatly, then we two can join forces to change."

Wang Shao is a famous general, but it is still a common problem that is inevitably constrained. If Wu Ji grows up again and the two join forces, their strength will increase greatly. If reforms are carried out again, it is very likely to succeed. Once the military reform is successful, it will be possible to defeat Liao and destroy Xia, and it will not be a problem to complete unification.

"Brother Wu, the battle against the Western Xia is about to go on. Just wait for the north to calm down. You must seize this favorable opportunity, make more contributions, and become famous. When it comes to the battle against the Western Xia, strive to lead an army and stand alone. At that time, you can let go and do a good job." Wu Ji stroked his forehead and said, "As long as you make great contributions in the Western Xia, your position in the court will increase sharply. At that time, if you speak again, no one dares not to listen."

Without strength and power, no matter how big the ambition is, it is empty talk. Only when you have enough weight can you listen to your words. This is a good road. Wu Ji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll fight a few battles in the north."

"Haha!" Wang Shao's eyes narrowed together with a smile: "Brother Wu, please be optimistic about you for your brother. Don't worry, I will give you whatever you want, as long as you make a name for yourself here."

The weakening of the Song Dynasty is famous in Chinese history. It does not mean that no one does not want to change. On the contrary, many people want to change, such as Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng, Kou Zhun, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Cai Jing in the first half of his life. Due to various reasons, the change was not successful in the end, which made the weakening of the Song Dynasty.

Song Shenzong gave Wu Ji the right to act cheaply, so Wu Ji could make a decision at the moment, which was much more convenient. With Wang Shao's support, this matter would be much more convenient. Wu Ji was very excited and confident: "Wang Shumi, just wait, I will do my best."

Immediately, Wu Ji called Qi Dabao and asked Qi Dabao to send someone to find out the news and find a target for action. When he heard that he was going to be prepared to attack the Liao Kingdom, Qi Dabao was happy and patted his chest to promise that he would use the power of Qiyun Club and would find a fat sheep.

Seeing Wu Ji do it as soon as he says, Wang Shao couldn't help but feel a little funny and said, "Brother Wu, you are really, you can do it as soon as you say you want, and you won't have to worry about it at all."

"What are you going to do? Since you want to do it, just start immediately." Wu Ji pointed at the Converted Army who was training with his right hand and said, "Now, I have 5,000 people in my hands, all of them are elite. Even if I face 30,000 or 20,000 Liao troops, there is no need to be afraid. Although the Western soldiers have just arrived and have not been trained successfully, the Converted Army has been trained. They can go to the battlefield at any time, so why bother to let them rest?"

"Haha!" Wang Shao laughed and said happily, "You really know how to use it without wasting any time, just like you on the battlefield. Oh, by the way, Brother Wu, how are you going to fight for the life?"

"As for the way of playing, I can't talk about it now. However, my strategy is to fight if you can, and you can leave if you can't fight. Never do a loss-making business." Wu Ji touched his chin and smiled, a little sinister.

"I look at your smile, and no matter how you look, it looks like a fox." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji, feeling something was wrong.

"I think we are not only fighting, but also taking the lead and taking away all the people and wealth of the Liao Kingdom, without leaving anything for the Liao Dog. If there is no good thing, we will even scrape the ground!" A sharp light flashed in Wu Ji's eyes.

"You..." Wang Shao felt even more incredible: "You are using the Liao dog to deal with the Liao dog. The Liao dogs do this, and the damage to the Song Dynasty was very serious. I don't know how many people in the Song Dynasty died in destruction."

"I am using war to support war, not learning from Liaogou." Wu Ji said it very bluntly.

"Fight to fight?" Wang Shaotou heard this fresh statement and savored it carefully, and praised it: "Good statement! Only in this way can we become stronger and stronger as we fight, otherwise, we will become weaker and weaker as we fight."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "But Brother Wu, I want to remind you. This is the place of Yanyun, not the place of Liaogou, and the people living here are Han people, not Khitan people. Your method cannot be applied."

Since Shi Jingtang stolen the country and ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, the Han people here became abandoned people. Although they fought endlessly, they were unable to return in the end. This was mainly because the Song Dynasty was incompetent and did not take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Even so, more than a hundred years have passed, the Han people here still recognized the Song Dynasty and believed that the Song Dynasty was the orthodox.

If a strategy of fighting to support war is implemented here, it will disappoint the Han people here, make them dissatisfied, and push them into the arms of the Liao Kingdom, which will not be worth the loss.

"Even if that's the case, it's not impossible." Wu Ji smiled and said, "We must treat this matter differently. More than a hundred years have passed, and although the people of Yanyun still recognize the Song Dynasty as orthodox, it is not all. There must be many Han people willing to work hard for Liao dogs. Why should they be ruthless?"

Wang Shao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, looked at Wu Ji, and said with a smile: "I didn't see that Brother Wu still has such a vision."

The two then discussed and discussed some things to pay attention to. It has to be said that Wang Shao knew very well about the situation in Yanyun Land. Many of the situations he provided were not known to Wu Ji. Not only did Wu Ji not understand, but even Qi Dabao didn't know it. It should be a secret found by the Song Dynasty.

With the information provided by Wang Shao, Wu Ji was more confident about the land of Yanyun.

It takes a lot of time to find a fat sheep. Although Qiyun Club is not small, it is not that easy, so Wu Ji can only wait patiently.

During this period, Wang Shao stayed at Converting, visited the training of Converting Army, and gave advice from time to time. He was a great expert, with unique vision and his guidance was very beneficial, and Wu Ji accepted it happily. Of course, Wang Shao's guidance could only be in details, and the general direction had been determined and could not be changed.

With Wang Shao's careful guidance, Wu Ji was very happy that the tactics and tactics of the Converted Army were constantly improved. The tactics and tactics of an army need to be continuously improved and tested in actual combat. However, the Converted Army did not meet this condition before it was established. Without Wang Shao's guidance, it would take a long time.

Wang Shao stayed in Converted for five days before leaving. During this period, he became more and more happy, praising Wu Ji again and again, just like a flower. As his understanding of Converted Army deepened, he became more and more confident in Converted Army, so he could not help but praise him.

On that day, Wu Ji was training, and Qi Dabao rushed over excitedly, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed together. Wu Ji thought about it and knew that there was a fat sheep.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Dabao got closer, he said happily: "Commander Wu, there is a fat sheep!"

"Let's go and talk in the house." Wu Ji waved his hand and entered the house with Huangfu Song. Qi Dabao followed him in.

Without any questions, Qi Dabao walked to the map, pointed to the map, and introduced to Wu Ji: "The commander of Wu Du, after being investigated by the heroes of Qiyun Club, there are more than ten targets nearby us to start. Here, here, here, there are not many Liao dogs, only hundreds of people. If you want to start, there is no problem. Not far from the return, brothers can come and go freely."

Then, he introduced the situation in detail, the configuration of the troops here and the garrison situation of the Liao army, which was very detailed.

He said it in detail, Huangfu Song was very excited, his eyes shining: "So many fat sheep, you must have enough food."

If there are more than ten goals, if they are killed by the Converted Army, they will accumulate a lot of them and there will be thousands of Liao troops. The harvest will definitely be very rich, which is really exciting.

However, Wu Ji was not satisfied and shook his head and said, "This is our first attack. Liao Kingdom could not have imagined that this is our opportunity. If you want to do it, you can do a big vote. With this, Liao Gou will be prepared and there will be no chance."

This is absolutely reasonable, Huangfu Song nodded.
