The foreign races were strong, but they really didn't matter in Su Shi's eyes. In the final analysis, there was something wrong with the policies of the Song Dynasty.
Think about it, Su Shi still came to the Renzong era, the most glorious period of the Song Dynasty. This was called Renzong's prosperous rule by later historians, but the military was still in such a mess. If he lived during the period when other Zhao family members were in power, he must have
The situation will only get more difficult.
"Haha, that's bullshit Shengzhi. How can it be called Shengzhi by paying tribute to Liao every year?"
Su Shi shook his head. He finally discovered that the historian's words were the most untrustworthy.
If the emperor can listen to their advice, love and treat them with high standards, then even an incompetent king will be praised by them as a famous king, just like Renzong Zhao Zhen.
On the contrary, if the emperor is harsh to the literati, even if he makes eternal achievements later, he is still a tyrant in the eyes of historians, just like the first emperor Ying Zheng.
In short, the pen is in the hands of the literati, and they can write whatever they want. Why can't you think about it?
In the entire Song Dynasty, I have never even seen the mayor of Beijing. How dare you call it the Song Dynasty? You must be lying.
At this moment, Su Shi was full of disdain for the old Zhao family. At this moment, he was not in the mood to provoke the Liao Kingdom and cause any damage here.
So what if he captures several cities?
He had limited troops at his disposal, and it was impossible to defend the gains gained. Even so, it was better to let the soldiers die less and lead them to leave the Liao Kingdom safely.
Previously, Su Shi was worried about his parents' safety, so he never made up his mind about what to do next.
But now that his parents are fine, Su Shi plans to return to the Song Dynasty with peace of mind and be his marquis.
His rich man goes.
"Come here, pass on the order, and we will break camp and return to Song Dynasty early tomorrow morning." Looking at the dark and cold night outside, Su Shi's voice came out loudly.
Su Shi was planning to leave before Zhang Jian and Pang Ji arrived. But now that things have become like this, there is no point in fighting or not fighting the next battle.
If you have this time, wouldn't it be better to return to Bianliang City earlier and enjoy life?
If he could go back earlier, maybe that old guy Li Di wouldn't be dead yet, and I would definitely make him look bad then.
No matter what Li Di did, Su Shi had no objection. Because he knew in his heart that this was for the good of King Jing and for the good of his students. He was afraid that he would be too powerful to suppress him, and that Zhao Xi would be controlled by him in the end.
It is only natural that he should suppress himself while he is still alive.
But he shouldn't, Li Di shouldn't talk about Su Shi's parents. This would offend him, and Su Shi would have to ask for an explanation and justice.
Now Li Di is too far away from him, and Su Shi is somewhat beyond his reach. But it doesn't matter, in order to vent his anger, Su Shi can kill other people first, such as Gu Jin.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Gu Jin was the vanguard of Zhao Yunrang's family, pressing him step by step in the court.
Su Shi accepted the move and took this man into the army, and now he has become a guard soldier.
It felt good to have a third-rank official from the imperial court guard the door for him, but now, with anger in him, Su Shi was eager to vent, and Gu Jin was the best candidate.
"Come here, hang Gu Jin up and beat him, first hit him with a hundred targets, and then cut him
Give him five hundred pieces of meat, and if he doesn't die, cut off his limbs and give him a human pig." Anger arose in his chest, and Gu Jin's fate was doomed.
...
At the end of December 1047 AD, Su Shi led his army from Liao to Song.
Along the way, all the Liao cities they passed had their gates closed and were heavily guarded, for fear that the Su family's army would suddenly turn around and launch an attack on them.
Fortunately, the Su family army did not cause any trouble on their way back. Even if they encountered some villages on the way, they had no intention of attacking them.
This made Xiao Ying's army commander who was following him breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the stone weighing on their heads was about to be lifted.
Su Shi returned all the way. Although he did not launch any military operations, he did not stop along the way. He kept passing by the big city of Liao Kingdom, and the way he swaggered through the city was very embarrassing.
Along the way back, the Su army specifically selected areas with a large number of Liao people. Along the way, they passed through Jizhou, Xianghe, Miaoyin, Anci, Gu'an, and Yongqing, and went straight to Bazhou City, a border city on the northern border of the Song Dynasty.
It can be said that the Liao people's faces were pressed to the ground and rubbed again and again.
Xiao Ying was very angry, but finally restrained himself and had no intention of attacking the Su Jiajun. He was also worried about what to do if the Su Jiajun wouldn't leave after this beating.
Bazhou City.
When Su Shi came here, there were less than ten days left before the New Year of 1048.
The small Bazhou City also gathered many officials from the imperial court at this time.
For example, Pang Ji, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, and Wang Xin, the Northern General.
For example, Zhang Jian, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom and the envoy of the Third Division.
They were all waiting in Bazhou, waiting for Su Shi to enter the city.
The happiest among them is
Since he is from Pang, he doesn't have to worry about entering the Liao territory. Although it seems that there is no danger, if he fails to persuade Su Shi to withdraw his troops and they start making trouble in the Liao territory again, then there will not be much guarantee for his life safety.
.
On this day, the sky was clear, no snow, and the sun was high.
Standing on the tower of Bazhou, you can see the silhouette of Su Jiajun from a distance.
"They're back, they're back." Pang Ji stood on the tower, as happy as a child, with a smile on his face.
Zhang Jian also had a smile on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile was a bit fake.
He had already received the news that Su Shi had withdrawn his army and left for the big city, showing off his power along the way. In his opinion, this was Su Shi's last stubbornness, and he wanted to trample on the face of the Liao people.
As one of the important ministers of the Liao Kingdom, it is strange that Zhang Jian is in a good mood.
But no matter what, Su Shi still came back from Liao, which made Zhang Jian feel relieved that he should be happy.
General Wang Xin was also standing on the tower. He couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood at this moment.
Look at Su Shi, who led troops into the Liao Dynasty, made a big fuss, and was finally sent out of the country with gifts. How majestic it was.
If the matter were put on him and he dared to do this, I'm afraid he would not be sent out of the country as a gift, but beaten out, blasted out, or even kicked out.
Maybe this is the difference between himself and Su Shi.
At this moment, Wang Xin really admired Su Shi in his heart, admired his courage, and admired his ability to use troops.
The North City Gate of Bazhou opened wide, and the Su family troops entered one after another. Pang Ji and others also went down to the city and took the initiative to greet Su Shi in front of the city gate.
Horse hanging Su flag
The car didn't even bother to stop, and just entered the city directly under the protection of the army.
Pang Ji and others looked at the unstopped carriage, glanced at each other, and said nothing. They knew that Su Shi was angry, and if he wanted to let it go, they could just let it go.
"Let's go inside and wait inside the yamen." Pang Ji was always cheeky and had no dissatisfaction at all because Su Shi didn't pee on him. On the contrary, he said with a smile. Based on this, he has the qualifications to be a prime minister.
potential.
In the Yamen Mansion in the city, Su Shi's carriage stopped here, followed by the wheelchair being pushed out, and went straight into the main hall under the respectful eyes of all the soldiers in front of the Yamen.
Pang Ji and others arrived quickly and followed them into the main hall. However, when they arrived, Su Shi had already reached the main seat.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Bukit Hou."
Pang Ji was not angry at all because Su Shi took his place. On the contrary, he smiled and clasped his fists in congratulations.
"Am I the Marquis of Bukit? Should Brother Pang call me Marquis?" Su Shi spoke with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Who doesn’t know how much price Su Shi paid to become the Marquis.
This was to take away Su Shi's military power and not even allow him to interfere in military affairs in the future. He was given a title.
In other words, from now on, Su Shi will lose the opportunity to ascend to the court, lose the opportunity to become the father-in-law, and stand there to guide the country.
Becoming a marquis means that your political life is cut off from now on. From now on, you can only go into business and become a rich man.
If such a thing were to happen to a person with mediocre abilities, it would definitely be a big deal.
Fortunately.
But when it comes to Su Shi, who is good at fighting, it's completely different. This means that at such a young age, he has to be taken care of by others. It's strange that he can be happy and comfortable.
Su Shi taunted Pang Ji, but Pang Ji still didn't take it seriously, just laughed and said nothing.
Not to mention, Su Shi still holds military power now, and may even go back on his word, so we can't provoke him yet. Let's just say that Pang Ji's own cigarette business still needs to cooperate with Su Shi, so he can't say anything harsh, let alone
Don't dare to show off your face.
Pang Ji was thick-faced and silent, so Su Shi snorted coldly and stopped looking at him. Instead, he turned his attention to General Wang Xin. He opened his mouth and scolded: "General Wang, you are
You are a loser. I am fighting life and death at the front, mobilizing the Liao army and playing with them like running dogs. Don’t you have the courage to send troops to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun?"
"If you miss a great opportunity like this, you are a sinner of the Song Dynasty and a sinner of the Han people."
Su Shi said as if he hated iron.
Su Shi did not take Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures because his troops were limited.
Attacking a city and defending it are two different things. If he wants to accomplish this goal, he will never be able to accomplish it with only 30,000 people. Think about what he can accomplish with this small number of troops when he has to leave troops to guard every city he captures.
?
"That's enough, Marquis Wuji, I'm still here." This time, Zhang Jian spoke first before Wang Xin could refute.
Why do Liao people play like a dog? If you don't speak, wouldn't you become a dog?
"You're the fucking onion, do I allow you to speak?"
Facing Zhang Jian, Su Shi refused to give in at all.
.
"I'm telling you, I'm beeping. Believe it or not, I'm going to lead my troops back to the Liao border right now and kill you three times in and three out?"
