Chapter 42: Kinds of Teachers
In a small inn, Wu Zhi met the "Xiaozhong Jingliang Gonggong" Zhong Shidao in Water Margin. He was in his fifties, his hair and beard were slightly white, but his face was rosy and his eyes were very sharp, and he looked quite strong. Wu Zhi praised him first.
The Zong family has been guarding the Western Xinjiang for generations, and it can be said that it is a gathering of famous generals. Zhong Shidao has been familiar with military books since he was a child and has been promoted to officials. He has been promoted to Xizhou, and has been promoted to the Yuanzhou magistrate, and was promoted to Qin Feng Changping. Last year, he was falsely accused of being a member of the Yuanyou Party and was unemployed in his family. But how could he bear this kind of comfortable life? Recently, Doroba's intention to split the land and divide the border has become more and more obvious. Zhong Shidao was worried and traveled thousands of miles to the capital, wanting to offer a plan to quell the rebellion to the emperor, but he did not expect that the Secretariat of the Secretariat is now fully in the Secretariat.
Being controlled by Cai Jing, the Yuanyou Party was originally something that Cai Jing made to eliminate dissidents, so how could he give Zhong Shidao a chance to make a comeback? In the past few days, Zhong Shidao was coldly treated everywhere. Most of his former friends, Jing Yuanyou Party, were demoted or punished. No one could speak for him. Zhong Shidao was discouraged and was about to return home. He didn't want the noble prince to come to visit him in person. He had heard of the great name of the noble prince. It is said that the emperor favored him very much, so why did he suddenly come to visit him?
"Mr. Yi, I'm reckless, please don't be surprised!" Wu Zhi said with a smile.
Mr. Zhong dared not dare to see that although this noble king was young, he was not as restless as a young man, and he seemed very calm. Mr. Zhong also felt a little more affection for Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi put the teacup on the table and said straight in one fell swoop: "Mr. has lived in the northwest for a long time, but he doesn't know what good ideas are there for the Doroba rebellion?"
Mr. Zhong vaguely hoped that the noble king would come to find him, so he would do the best to do the northwest. He was excited and his white beard trembled slightly. He endured the excitement and slowly took out a booklet from his arms and said, "Please read, this is the strategy of pacifying Qiang, which may help the noble king with some small benefits!"
Wu Zhi was overjoyed and took the booklet and read it. The general content of Zhong Shidao's Pacification of Qiang Ce was that if troops were sent to suppress the rebellion, the rebels would rely on Ba Jin to rush to the dangerous terrain and block the river, and divide their troops to defend against the king's army. If they could not quickly break the enemy, the soldiers of the Qingtang tribes would arrive one after another. The 19th Xixia would also send reinforcements. Even if they win, the casualties would be too great. It would be better to divide the troops into two, the south road went out of Anxiang and rushed forward; the north road went out of Jingyu and hit behind. The rebels would be attacked from both sides and could not support them. They would definitely break them. Of course, this is a general strategy, and various details were explained in detail later. Although Wu Zhi did not understand military tactics, he still had some knowledge. When he saw it, he nodded repeatedly. If there were any unknown places, Zhong Shidao would patiently explain it. Until the sky gradually darkened, Wang Jin next to him lit an oil lamp for the two, and Wu Zhi finally made Ping Qiang Ce clear.
Wu Zhi exclaimed: "Mr. Yi is indeed a genius. Tomorrow, he will present his husband's strategy of Pingqiang to the emperor. Today, the emperor sighs that I am no one in the Song Dynasty, but I don't know that such a good talent is by my side. Haha, sir, just wait for my good news."
Mr. Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "When you offer this strategy, you must not mention the name of the following." Seeing Wu Zhi's face was puzzled, he sighed and said, "Although the strategy can be considered, people have no idea. If the court can use this strategy to defeat the thief, he will be satisfied..."
Wu Zhi suddenly realized that although he did not know that if this "Xiaozhong Strategy Master" had not arrived, he would have to be abolished for nearly ten years before he could be re-activated. However, such a famous general, now so miserable, and seeing him in disheartened manner, he would have offended Cai Jing. If he mentioned his name when he offered his advice, the Privy Council and the Temple Political Affairs Office would definitely encounter great resistance. Even if it was implemented, it would be changed beyond recognition, so as not to fulfill his contribution.
Both of them fell into silence. After a long time, Wu Zhi said slowly: "If you don't dislike it, I don't know if you can settle down with Wu Zhi in the noble palace for the time being. The chief of the royal palace is just vacant, so I'm afraid of being wronged. But don't worry, I will definitely not let Mr. bury me. Mr. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Mr. Zhong was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but if you enter your palace, you are afraid that you will cause endless trouble for your king. How can you feel at ease? Please forgive me for not obeying me."
When Wu Zhi heard this, he concluded that he must have offended Cai Jing and smiled and said, "Sir, I am pedantic. What did Xunzi say before? The righteousness is not inclined to power..." As a noble queen, Wu Zhi knew that returning to the capital would inevitably face various matters. The Song Dynasty emphasized literature. It would be bad if he seemed ignorant. He also wanted to study the "Four Books and Five Classics" seriously, but he often wanted to sleep after a few glances. If he wanted to be arrogant, he couldn't remember it and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
However, Zhong Shidao did not laugh and continued in a low voice: "Where is righteousness, do not over power, ignore its interests, and the whole country will not change its views, and value the righteousness and keep it unrestrained. This is the courage of a gentleman." After thinking about it, he thought about it.
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, sir, don't you go back to my house. Are you willing to be buried in the countryside? To avoid disaster, you don't work for the country, but don't know what kind of courage you have? Could it be that the bravery of the fighter? Or do you think that I am the bravery of the fighter?"
Mr. Zhong was silent for a while, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "That is, the noble king insisted on it. How dare Master Dao refuse? Today I will accompany the noble king to show the courage of a gentleman!"
Seeing that he agreed, Wu Zhi laughed and said, "I have no worries from now on!" He was proud and forgot about the line from which plot this was, and shouted it out casually. But he was giggling in his heart. Speaking of which, he was really the kind of fighting warriors who fight on the street, and why the courage of a gentleman who serves the country and the people has nothing to do with him.
...
Wu Zhi was proud of himself, humming a little Qu'er back to the backyard and entering the yard gate, and then he remembered the sad scene of the four girls in the morning. He felt a sudden heart. Xiao Qu'er stopped humming and tiptoed to the back.
"Hmph, why did the dignified noble king Qiansui fall into the house like a thief?" He didn't have to listen to the voice, and he knew who was talking.
Wu Zhi coughed twice, and looked back. Under the moonlight and beside the willow shade, Qi Qiao was smiling at him.
"Don't cry? I couldn't imagine that the number one hero in Jiangnan, who claimed to be hitting the tiger in the South Mountain and kicking the dragon in the North Sea would cry!" Wu Zhi was always at a disadvantage when he was bickering with her, so he had to take the stance of a good man not fighting with a woman. Today, he finally caught her hurting her feet, so of course he wouldn't be polite.
Qi Qiao was not angry, gently shook the willow branches in front of her, and looked at Wu Zhi up and down with big eyes. Wu Zhi suddenly felt guilty. Why did she feel like the little white rabbit standing in front of the big bad wolf?
