Chapter 21 Wang Shao
Song Shenzong's praise was sincere from the heart and without any falsehood, which surprised Shao Jiuda.
In his memory, there were only two people who praised Song Shenzong so sincerely, one was Wang Anshi and the other was Wang Shao. Wang Anshi proposed reforms, and the king and his ministers talked freely. When they were relieved, Song Shenzong slapped the table and praised him loudly, and was full of happiness.
Wang Shaoxian's "Pingrong Stories" made Song Shenzong happy and praised him repeatedly.
However, Song Shenzong did not use the word "wizard", which is too high?
"Can the official family be a small battalion commander be called a genius?" Shao Jiu asked tentatively. He was really curious. This Wu Ji was just a scholar, without a good background, and had no strong backstage, but he received the highest evaluation of Emperor Shenzong of Song.
"Totally deserve it!"
Song Shenzong held his beard and said with a smile: "You think, Wu Ji can make thunderbolt bullets, make bows and arrows, make swords to kill the enemy, and he can also train troops. Anything like this is amazing, but he is all in the same way. Can this not be a genius?"
He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Especially this sword of killing the enemy is even more amazing. Wang Shao has been saying that he wants to make a good knife, but I have instructed the military weapon supervisor to study it, but it has not been successful yet. Wu Ji has made it. Once this sword is released, it is a big deal. Even the army of the Song Dynasty can equip this kind of war knife, and it will definitely kill the Liao dogs and fall into the water!"
The importance of a good sword is self-evident. Shao Jiu could not refute this: "The young man followed the official family for many years, and only saw that the official family praised Prime Minister Wang and General Wang. Unexpectedly, a small battalion commander could be so praised by the emperor! If the young man had not heard it with his own ears, he would not have believed it."
"Hey!" Song Shenzong sighed.
Song Shenzong rarely had such a happy life. Shao Jiu's words meant a little pleasing, but they were unexpected. Song Shen actually sighed and Shao Jiu looked surprised.
"You only heard these three people. In fact, I have praised two geniuses, but you didn't hear them. Those two are no less talented than Zhuge... Forget it, let's not mention it. Go and call Wang Shao!" Song Shenzong seemed to remember something, and changed his mind halfway through his words.
"Two wizards?" Shao Jiu's chin almost fell to the ground. Song Shenzong was the emperor and had a very high vision. Most people could not even see them. Not to mention anything else, with Sima Guang's reputation, Song Shenzong had no high praise for him. Those who could praise Song Shenzong as a wizard were definitely not ordinary people.
Shao Jiu was determined to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to keep it in his heart and responded quickly to Wang Shao.
"Where are you?" Song Shenzong's eyes were lost and murmured to himself. He took back his mind, picked up the bow, and tried to shoot several times. He was very happy and praised.
As he expected, the bow was labor-saving, had a longer range, and good accuracy. He was very satisfied.
"I've seen the official family!"
A loud bell-like voice rang out, and a man like an iron tower quickly stepped forward and greeted Song Shenzong.
This man is extremely powerful, with a knife-like face that is extremely cold, with a pair of copper bell-like eyes embedded in his face, which increases his mightyness. His eyes turn like a sharp sword. Standing there is like a mountain, making people feel unshakable.
"Oh! Wang Shao, you are here! I'm exempted, I'm exempted!" This person was the most trusted general of Song Shenzong, Wang Shao. When he saw him, Song Shenzong smiled happily, and waved to Wang Shao, and said with a smile: "Wang Shao, I'm asking you to discuss with you. Whenever the annual monies are handed over, the Khitan will take action, either bluffing or sending envoys, with only one purpose, that is, to increase the annual monies like Chongxi, that's not to imagine!"
Chongxi's increase in coins was an insult to the Song Dynasty. When it came to this matter, Song Shenzong's face became very ugly, and his tone also increased a lot: "I will never increase the annual coins!"
"The officials are all incompetent officials and others, and cannot destroy the Khitan." Wang Shao hurriedly apologized.
"The Khitan is rampant, and it is not your fault." Song Shenzong waved his hand and said, "Those over the years, although the Khitan has been constantly moving, it has not started fighting. The more this happens, the more I am worried. As the time for the transfer of the annual monies is about to come again, the Khitan's movements will follow. What I am worried about is that this time the Khitan will no longer only thunder or rain, but will start fighting with real swords and guns."
Over the years, the Khitan has been very fierce, but it has not fought much. The more this happens, the more fierce it will be, and Song Shenzong frowned and he was very worried.
"The official family, I am willing to go to the border to resist the Khitan." Wang Shao asked for an order.
"You go, I'm naturally relieved. But Bian Jing cannot live without you right now." Song Shenzong looked at Wang Shao and smiled: "You are fighting very well in the Xihe Battle. After this battle, Xixia could not make any moves in the west. He could only fight around the east and near Hengshan, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Xixia's arm. Well, as for the annual monies battle this year, I have prepared a generous gift for the Khitan."
"Your Majesty, the Khitan is like a jackal. The more you feed it, the more you can't feed it. You can only hit the head-on and never give gifts to the Khitan!" Wang Shao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly advised him loudly.
"I am worthy of being my beloved general!" Song Shenzong was very pleased and said, throwing the sword of the captivity to Wang Shao and said, "This is the generous gift I have prepared for the Khitans!"
Wang Shao took it in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and was very surprised: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the military weapon surveillance has finally been made!"
When his wrists shook, a beautiful knife flower appeared, and the wind whistled, showing his extraordinary skills.
"Wang Shao, you think that military aid is like a divine helper, but what you expected is wrong. This knife is called the Killing of the Barbarians! Killing the Barbarians, killing the Barbarians, and all the Barbarians can be killed! Haha!" Song Shenzong savored it carefully. This name is very bold and bold, and he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant and laughed.
"The official family is not made by military weapons prisons, could it be made by skilled craftsmen in the country?" Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and became a little surprised.
"The people? It's not worth it." Song Shenzong smiled and said, "This person is Wu Ji, the battalion commander of the Guixin Army..."
"The official family is the scholar who destroyed the Liufeng thief?" Wang Shao was a little surprised. It was his own drawing.
"That's right! It's him." Song Shenzong nodded and said, "This knife has just been sent. I have tried it. I cut off a saber knife, and the six Liao Gou's scimitars were not damaged at all. More importantly, this knife can be made in large quantities..."
"Made in large quantities?" Wang Shao had experienced people fighting on the battlefield, took a bath in blood, and rolled in the dead. It can be said that his mentality had reached the state of unchanging color in the face of Mount Tai collapsed before him. After hearing what Song Shenzong said, he couldn't help but exclaim.
He is a famous general, and of course he knows what it means if such a powerful weapon can be made in large quantities? It means that the Song army will have a huge advantage. This is something that any general dreams of having.
"Call!"
Wang Shao pulled out his sword, like a shining jade belt, emitting a dazzling light, and slashed at the sword sword.
With the crisp metal impact, the sword of the Killer did not break as he imagined. Wang Shao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was surprised: "Some tricks!"
"How?" Song Shenzong was also surprised and hurriedly came up to take a look. He saw that the sword of the captive sword collapsed. Then he looked at Wang Shao's sword, which was intact.
"It's a little bit short!" Wang Shao felt a little regretful.
"hehe!"
Song Shenzong let out a series of laughter and said, "Wang Shao, are you not satisfied? Your sword is made of iron and is made by a skilled craftsman in the military weapon supervision for three months. Although the sword is good, it cannot be made more. I am rewarding you with the achievements of Xihe! This sword can be made in large quantities, and each long journey can be made to be so sharp. It is very good! It is very good!"
"What the official said is so true, I am a little demanding." Wang Shao was a smart man and knew the reason why Song Shenzong asked him to come: "People, please rest assured. I will write to Zhou Wei now and ask him to buy a large number of swords to kill the enemy."
