"I send an order to search for the official one hole after another, cover the soil, pour water, smoke, and fire. I will do it myself. Now the Japanese official will not give up until he achieves his goal, and will not stop him. If he does not capture the leader of the thief, he will never return to the city, will never win, and will never withdraw his troops. If he dares to say he will retreat, I will never give up!"

In the Tongshan Village of Tongpan Island, Donghai, Li Sanjian stood on the ground on an open space in front of the village, sat on a chair and ordered loudly.

Li Sanjian was Xu Biao on the left and Shan Kui on the right. There were hundreds of Song soldiers wearing helmets and armor standing behind him, each standing with a knife, with a cold face.

Hundreds of Song army warriors were supervising teams, which made someone dare to take a step back and immediately beheaded.

In front of Li Sanjian and others was the pirate's nest. Teams of Song soldiers either held weapons or carried fire, poured water and other objects to search for the pirate's nest. Soon after, a raging fire broke out in the pirate's nest, and thick smoke rose into the sky, and shouts of killing were endless.

At the end of the second year of the Song Chongning, Li Sanjian led his troops to destroy the invading pirates in the East China Sea first, and then used his troops to cover the killing and defeated the thieves. Then he did not give the bandits a breath of breath, and immediately sent his troops to attack the pirates entrenched on Tongpan Island, and broke through the mountain village, beheaded countless leaders, captured dozens of big and small leaders, captured the bandit leaders Xie Huaizhong, Xie Huaiyi brothers and others.

Since the Quanzhou army has been greatly promoted and its military power is prosperous, wherever it passes, it is invincible. In the subsequent battle to eliminate pirates, it has been invincible and invincible. The pirates of the East China Sea have surrendered or fled when they see the banner of the Black Flag Army of the Song Dynasty. The sea routes outside Quanzhou are extremely unobstructed and stable. In a stable environment, Quanzhou's foreign trade has flourished one day, and the maritime merchants who come to Quanzhou to do business have also been more than one day.

Li Sanjian's strategy of Jinghai has begun to show results!

In the third year of the Song and Yuan Fu, Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo

"Good news! Good news! Good news!"

"A great victory on Fujian Road! A great victory in Quanzhou!"

"In the battle of Quanzhou, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, led his troops to capture dozens of bandit leaders and killed countless levels!"

"Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, received his victory!"

"The Southeast Pirates are invincible!"

"Good news! Good news! Good news!"

As soon as the city gate was opened in the capital of the Song Dynasty, several cavalry rushed into the city gate, reported Jielubu, drove directly to the Secretariat, and drove directly to the two palaces, and went directly to the Da Nei Palace.

The high shouts made early pedestrians look at each other and talk a lot.

Although the battle to suppress the bandits cannot be compared with the battles in Xixia and other places, this is also a victory, right? For the Tokyo people who can cause sensation with a little gossip, it is another topic of conversation after dinner.

"Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou? Who is this?"

"You old biting insects, Li Sanjian, Li Daguan, you don't know? It's the former judge Li Daguan of Kaifeng Prefecture! Did you live on a dog at your age?"

"Little monkey, look for a beating! I said it was Judge Li, how could I not know? Judge Li was not afraid of the powerful and killed the Duke of the dynasty outside Xuande Gate. This matter was known to everyone in the world, and we all applauded! That was... a few years ago."

"So it was him? But why did Lord Li go to Quanzhou? Where is Quanzhou? It's a barren and remote place."

"What else can he do if he commits such a big deal? Of course, it's just demotion. Official Li was demoted to Quanzhou, but... but being the prefect of Quanzhou is not too wronged."

"What my father-in-law said is that the court is not too blind. But as far as I know, Grand Secretary Li is a top scholar, a civil servant who can only talk. Can he actually lead troops to fight?"

"You are too ignorant, are you? Are there still fewer literati who commanded the army in the Song Dynasty? As long as you can command the army and win battles, do you care whether he is a literati or a military man?"

"Brother Tai said so much. It seems that Mr. Li is indeed a man of both civil and military affairs!"

"Big yes, big yes!"

“………”

Not long after, everyone was talking about the wine shops, tea shops, inns and other places in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, about Li Sanjian's victory in Quanzhou, and about Li Sanjian's actions. Li Sanjian's name was once again well-known and famous all over the world.

Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture

"Haha, Cai, Cai, Cai, Han Ren, he really does not disappoint what I hope!"

In the Great Inner Military Affairs Hall, Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty could not help but laugh and shouted three times after seeing the news of the Quanzhou Road in Fujian.

At this time, the mourning period of the Empress Dowager Xiang had passed, and he could not use any weapons during the mourning period of the Empress Dowager. Therefore, the Song Dynasty wanted to recover the land of Hehuang, and arranged for the mourning period of the Empress Dowager.

Inability to use weapons means that one cannot take the initiative to use troops and take the initiative to use troops on a large scale, especially that one cannot use the elite troops of the Song Dynasty and the imperial guards. However, the enemy forces attacked, and defense operations are a different matter, such as the Battle of Quanzhou.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Xiang's mourning period passed, the news of Quanzhou was spread to the capital, and Emperor Zhao Ji of Song was very happy.

This is Zhao Ji's first victory since he ascended the throne. Although it is a victory in suppressing the thief, it is also a victory, right?

Zhao Ji has always had the aspirations of his father and brother and the desire to expand his territory.

As a result of the aspirations of father and brother, he would have to use weapons to expand his territory. Therefore, how could Zhao Ji not be relieved when he wins the first victory in Quanzhou at this moment?

As soon as the Empress Dowager's mourning period passed, Zhao Ji immediately accepted several concubines. Therefore, it was a double happiness at this time. How could Zhao Ji feel happy?

Zhao Ji was so happy that he was just dancing.

"Cai Qing's family, how should you reward Quanzhou and Li Hanren?" Zhao Ji put down Li Sanjian's memorial and asked Cai Jing, the left prime minister of the court.

The person Zhao Ji trusted the most at this moment was Li Sanjian's "Boss Taishan" Cai Jing, who was not inquiring about anything and asking about anything.

Cai Jing's reform and innovation have begun to show results at this moment. The annual income is increasing and the national treasury is becoming more and more abundant. Zhao Ji is now willing to use money to be generous, unlike in the past, where he is rushing and tying.

This is also the main reason why the Song Dynasty court dared to use troops in the northwest. What kind of war will it fight without money?

"Your Majesty, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, defeated the East China Sea with his troops, which is not easy. Therefore, I think it should be rewarded, and should be rewarded heavily to inspire the morale of the army and calm the people." Cai Jing thought for a moment and answered.

Of course, this is not Cai Jing's original intention, and Cai Jing's original intention is self-evident.

At this moment, when the imperial court was using troops to the northwest and planned to fight against the Western Xia, it was the eve of the war. If there was no reward for the achievements at this time, the soldiers would be disappointed. How could this battle be fought?

You know, using troops to the northwest and fighting against the Western Xia was Cai Jing's first proposal.

The success or failure of the Northwest military use is even related to Cai Jing's future and Cai Jing's path to govern.

Therefore, we should not lose the big picture because of small things. Cai Jing was the old man in the temple. How could he not know this?

The most important thing is that at this moment, Zhao Ji had already said the word "reward". How could Cai Jing reject it? How dare he reject it?

Cai Jing even suspected that Zhao Ji used this matter to test himself.

"Your words are very good!" Zhao Ji nodded and ordered after hearing this, "Let's draw an order. Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, has made contributions to the country and given him..."

.............

June 3rd year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, Northwest Hezhou

"Bang...bang...bang..."

"Woo...woo...woo..."

The sound of drums and trumpets sounded, countless Song army flags were rushing in the strong wind, and countless swords, guns, swords and halberds stood like rows of trees, standing on the wilderness outside the city of Hezhou.

Under the banner are 100,000 soldiers of the elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, arranged in square formations.

The faces of the 100,000 imperial soldiers were all condensed, and the formation formed by the 100,000 soldiers was also silent, except for the sound of some war horses.

The Song army's uniforms were mainly red, so looking down from the air, it looked like maple forests.

"Driving...Driving...Driving"

In a moment, the two riders rode together and galloped over, rolling up a bunch of dust.

The knights above the two cavalry were the deputy envoy of the SG Sect, and the Zhili Army.

The business of the Taoxi border appeasement company, which is to attack the Xihe Xia Army this time, Wang Hou, the commander of the Song army, and another knight was Tong Guan, the army supervisor.

Wang Hou is the son of Wang Shao, a famous general in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. He is over fifty years old this year, but the veteran's majesty is still as powerful as that of the time. Although his long beard is gray, he has a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His waist is straight on the horse, and he is like flying.

The same is true for the army supervisor Tong Guan. He has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and looks graceful. His armor looks particularly majestic when worn on his body.

Although Tong Guan was a eunuch, there was a thick cluster of whiskers under his jaw, which swayed in front of his chest as the war horses galloped.

However, no one noticed that a few strands of beards were blown down by the wind...

The two of them rode their horses and rushed to the Song army formation, and Wang Hou glanced at Tong Guan.

Tong Guan held the long sword at his waist tightly and nodded slightly.

Military supervisor, that is, the chief supervisor, as the name suggests, is to assist in military affairs, inspect generals, and deploy restraining camps, ranking second to commanders and higher than generals.

Although the military supervisor is nominally second to the commander, the real power is surprisingly great, and the commander is afraid of it. The reason is that the military supervisor represents the court, the emperor, and has the power to report directly.

The advantages and disadvantages of a military supervisor can often even control the situation of the battle and the fate of generals and soldiers.

Tong Guan was personally appointed by Emperor Zhao Ji of Song and Prime Minister Cai Jing. Wang Hou had to respect the military supervisor who attacked Hehuang this time. Fortunately, Tong Guan was a man who knew about military affairs. He was familiar with military books and knew the art of war. He also highly agreed with attacking Hehuang.

"Sacrifice flags to go on the battle!" After obtaining Tong Guan's permission, Wang Hou pulled out his waist knife and ordered loudly.

So a team of elite soldiers from the Northwest Song Dynasty led by their respective generals and drove towards the west.

In June of the third year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, the Song army sent troops to the northwest. One route was commanded by Wang Hou and Tong Guan, leading an army of 100,000 out of Anxiang Pass, crossing the Yellow River, and directly taking Bajinling; the other route was commanded by Gao Yongnian of Minzhou, leading 20,000 out of Jingyu Pass, and two routes were planned to attack Huangzhou.

During the reign of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song, the endless wars between Song and Western Xia began since then.
