Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 101 Ludoson

Shi Congyun specially met him in the big tent outside Wuwei City. The special envoy was named Lu Duoxun, who was a Jinshi who passed the examination last year, that is, the first year of Xianxian, and he was the secretary at this time.

This person was very young, much younger than the others, and he was also one of the youngest officials Shi Congyun had ever come into contact with. He was probably just in his twenties, and he might not have been in his twenties.

He was dressed in travel and dust, wearing a cloak and hat, and only had a horse-leading entourage by his side.

After meeting in the dental tent, Shi Congyun hosted a banquet to entertain them.

Maybe it was the exhaustion of traveling all the way, maybe it was a lot of hard life, Lu Duoxun ate very well, and his appetite was similar to that of men who fought in the army. He ate two bowls of rice, several grain cakes, and a lot of food. meat.

In the middle of the banquet, Lu Duosun had almost eaten before he got up to speak: "Shi Qianfeng, besides seeing the situation at the front this time, he is also ordered by an official to convey something."

Shi Congyun cupped his hands and said, "Special envoy, please tell me."

"In Daliang, the officials praised the general's bravery in battle, wisdom and courage many times, and said that the general should be appointed as a defensive envoy, and before departure, he also asked someone to bring this to the general.

Moreover, Fengzhou City hadn't been destroyed when I set off from Daliang, and the three prefectures of Qin, Cheng, and Jie had not yet dedicated their cities. Now that the four prefectures are pacified, General Shi can add another one to his credit book. "

Hearing this, everyone sitting there looked at him excitedly.

"Congratulations, General Shi." Lu Duosun cupped his hands.

Shi Congyun was overjoyed in his heart, but he still tried his best to be modest on the surface: "Thank you for the special envoy's notification. I will thank you very much when I return to Daliang."

He was just being polite, but he didn't expect that Lu Duosun didn't refuse at all, and climbed up the pole: "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful, and I hope that I won't be disgusted by it."

Shi Congyun was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, and took the words naturally: "Where, the special envoy is willing to visit the humble house. A certain third student is lucky, and he will definitely entertain him well!"

Lu Duosun smiled, arched his hands and revealed some additional news: "The officials just received the news that General Huanghuagu set up an ambush and defeated the Shu army during the shooting banquet in mid-September.

At that time, the officials really sighed in front of many people. A wise, brave and thoughtful person like the general wasted a long time in Guanzhong. "

Shi Congyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally put down a big stone in his heart. He bowed and said, "Thank you special envoy for telling me this."

Lu Duosun didn't even return the salute, "You don't have to be polite when it comes to your responsibilities."

Shi Congyun nodded and didn't say any more, but quietly ordered Shao Ji beside him to prepare some gold and silver and give it to Lu Duoxun, and Lu Duoxun really took it.

Shi Congyun is an old fritter, and understands how broad the so-called "responsibility lies" is.

He said it was also his duty, not to mention it was also his duty, in fact it was entirely up to people, Lu Duoxun most likely felt that Shi Congyun had a good attitude, so he was willing to reveal more.

Don't underestimate the importance of this information. In war, information can determine victory or defeat. On weekdays, information can also determine many things.

Lu Duoxun's words reassured Shi Congyun a lot. At least one thing he can be sure of is that the officials will not keep him in the customs, and he will be able to return to Daliang before the end of the year.
As the largest urban settlement on earth at this time, Daliang City could not conceal its bustle even in the bleak autumn.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the three religions and nine streams gather here. The yelling and noise on the street never stops, full of human fireworks.

Since mid-July, good news from the north has gradually reached Daliang, thousands of miles away.

Every few days, there will be many soldiers riding horses, waving red flags behind them, passing through the city, shouting words such as "Where there is a big victory", "Who and who will capture and kill", all the way through. The street goes north, attracting crowds of onlookers.

It will soon become a topic of conversation in Daliang City, and the one with the highest frequency is none other than Pioneer Shi Congyun.

Compared with the low-key and low-key handling of the battle reports by the Shu Kingdom, in Daliang City, the victory of the Western Expeditionary Army has been known to everyone on the streets and alleys since July. Without him, only the victors are eligible to show off.

The battle in the northwest gradually became more and more well-known from obscurity, and even became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys after dinner, and gradually became well-known.

Successive victories inspired the soldiers and civilians in the city, and there were also many celebration activities, but many of them were organized by non-governmental organizations without much official support.

The attitude of the imperial city towards this war is unknown to outsiders for the time being, but smart people can guess that this is the first time an official has taken the initiative to use foreign troops after he ascended the throne, and it is also the first step of his ambition. It is impossible not to pay attention.

The autumn night was a bit cold, and a lot of news came with the wind, blowing from the mountains of the Qinling Mountains into Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Luoyang, Heyang, and along Zhengzhou to Daliang.

Most of the news is nothing more than the forward Shi Congyun's unstoppable bravery, continuous victories, and the deployment of Wang Jing in the northwest camp.

Hearing these news, Shi Yanchao, the deputy commander in front of the palace, was the happiest person. As Shi Congyun's father, he was always moody and rarely revealed anything.

After receiving the battle report from the west, there were many changes quietly.

The people in Shi's mansion and the surrounding soldiers all felt this. Once the servants in the mansion and Tong Xiang got drunk and accidentally starved Shi Yanchao's beloved horse for a day without being smoked.

And in the past few months, they have sent money to everyone in the mansion several times.

Anyone can see that the owner is very happy.

In addition, Shi Congyun's mother, Gu Ying, and younger sister, Shi Congmei, also often jump up and down, telling everyone how powerful his brother is.

Apart from Shifu, there are still some subtle changes in Daliang City that only smart people can detect.

Ever since Shi Congyun dispatched troops, Daliang City has been relatively peaceful, except for some minor incidents.

After all, the official family is the hero, and they have been doing many things.

On August [-]th, Zhang Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tian Min, Taichang Qing, etc. gave a play, suggesting to reduce the number of livestock used in sacrifices. From then on, only cattle, sheep, and hogs (pigs) were used when offering sacrifices to mountains, forests, rivers, and Taimiao. Use sheep instead, to save the court start.

The officials thought it was a good idea, so they agreed.

On September [-]st, the government ordered the banning of bronze wares, and discussed the establishment of supervisors to cast copper coins, so as to restore the coin casting system of the Tang Dynasty.

On September [-]th, because the war in the northwest was going well, the officials were in a low mood and invited all the ministers to a banquet in the palace. As a result, an urgent news of victory from the west just happened to be received at the banquet.

Shi Congyun, the commander of the vanguard, understood the enemy's intentions, defeated the Shu army in Huanghuagu, Tangcang Town, Baijian and other places, occupied Malingzhai all the way south, and pursued to Guzhen!

The officials were overjoyed, and said on the spot that Shi Congyun was courageous and resourceful, and said that such talents could not be kept in Guanzhong for long, and that once the battle in Guanzhong was fixed, they should be transferred back to Daliang for use.

Prime Minister Wang Pu agreed to this resolution on the spot. As for why Wang Pu agreed, many people did not understand the reason, only Li Gu knew a little bit.
