Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 39
He has always felt that today's officials are a little too cowardly.

In order to reach an armistice agreement with Bei Liao, he actually promised to give Bei Liao 30 two-year-old coins.

Although it sounds like a reward in name, it is actually an offering to the court.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven, and it is difficult for Sun Qi, who is a main combatant, to accept this kind of thing.

His plan to recapture Lingzhou City this time was based on the idea of ​​​​killing first and showing off later, and he was already prepared to be punished.

Unexpectedly, the officials had no objection and even said that they would defend Lingzhou City at any cost.

Eunuch Li said: "Mr. Ding, our family has not finished passing on the official words."

"Eunuch Li, please speak." Sun Qi said while suppressing his excitement.

"The official said: When I was in power, the treasury was empty. If we continue to fight with Beiliao, it will require a large amount of military expenditures, which the court cannot bear. Therefore, I endured the shame and agreed to Beiliao's conditions. But the importance of Lingzhou City I still know that Duke Dingguo is mature and prudent, and I believe that you will be able to capture Lingzhou City."

Eunuch Li imitated the official tone and spoke slowly.

Sun Qi heard this and knew that he had misunderstood the officials all these years. He kowtowed in the direction of Bianjing with regret and excitement: "Please don't worry, officials. I will definitely defend Lingzhou City."

"Ding Guo Gong, the official instructions have been finished, you can get up." Eunuch Li said with a smile.

Sun Qi stood up and said: "Eunuch Li is tired from traveling and traveling, so I let you prepare a banquet. After Eunuch Li has used it, have a good rest. The Xixia bastards are attacking the city. I am busy with military affairs, so I will not accompany my father-in-law."

"Hey, your father-in-law should give top priority to state affairs. Our family still needs to return to Huibianjing, so we will leave after dinner." Eunuch Li said.

"My father-in-law, take a break. Lingzhou City has been captured. I will write the battle report later and give it to my father-in-law to present to His Majesty," Sun Qi said.

"What? Lingzhou City was taken down?" Eunuch Li was surprised.

"Yes."

Sun Qi nodded with a smile, and roughly told the story.

"I didn't expect Yuan Xiaowei to make new achievements again. It seems that Da Zhou will need more uncles." Eunuch Li said with a smile.

"How many uncles?" Sun Qi was a little confused.

"Last time, the officials read the report of Duke Ding and summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter. All the princes did not agree with taking Lingzhou City, thinking that this would anger Xixia. However, the officials overcame all opinions and agreed to the Duke's proposal. Plan. He also said in front of all the princes that if Captain Yuan can capture Lingzhou City, he will be given a knighthood. Now that Captain Yuan has made such a great contribution, being an earl should not be a big problem." Eunuch Li said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll let him treat me later." Sun Qi laughed.

The title cannot be hereditary and does not mean much. It is more of an honor.

However, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been knighted for many years. If Yuan Wenshao can be knighted, it will also be an inspiration to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

…………

Lingzhou City

Yuan Wenshao looked at the retreating Xixia soldiers with some doubts.

Eight days had passed since Lingzhou City was captured. On the second day, Xixia sent more than 1 troops to attack the city.

After Xixia occupied Lingzhou City, they expanded the city and hoarded a large amount of equipment, all of which gave him an advantage.

In addition, he has [-] troops, so he can defend it with ease.

However, as time passed, Xixia received more and more reinforcements, and Xixia attacked day and night at all costs, increasing the pressure.

Even when he learned that he had been promoted to six levels in a row, and the officials had rewarded him with two imperial mansions, he couldn't be happy.

"Captain, could it be reinforcements?" Peng Guang guessed.

"I hope, the time has come, otherwise we really won't be able to hold on." Yuan Wenshao said with a bitter smile.

There are many people in the city, and although some are Han Chinese, most of them are Xixia people. In addition to guarding the city, he also needs to disperse some of his troops to intimidate the people in the city.

During this period of time, more than 2000 soldiers and horses under his command suffered casualties, and his strength was somewhat stretched.

What's more important is that the equipment in the city is almost running out.

If the reinforcements did not come again, Yuan Wenshao was ready to abandon the city and flee.

"Look, Captain!"

Peng Guang pointed in one direction and said excitedly.

Yuan Wenshao followed the direction pointed by Peng Guang, and saw a group of soldiers wearing Dazhou armor and holding Dazhou flags, rushing to Lingzhou City.

"Check your identity carefully later. Don't pretend to be Xixia to deceive the city gate." Yuan Wenshao warned.

They just cheated the city gate open. If they were cheated open by others again, the fun would be even greater.

Yuan Wenshao had not long joined the army and did not know many generals in the northwest, so he had to rely on Peng Guang.

"Don't worry, captain, I have seen many generals in the northwest." Peng Guang patted his chest and said.

Soon, the army arrived at the city. There were about [-] people. If they were reinforcements, it would be no problem to defend Lingzhou City.

"We have been ordered by Duke Ding to come for reinforcements. Open the city gate quickly!"

A small principal rode forward and shouted loudly.

Yuan Wenshao said loudly: "Can the leading general come out and see us?"

After hearing this, the small school rode back, and not long after, a sturdy middle-aged man about forty years old and several cavalrymen rode forward.

"Captain, the leader is Liuzhou garrison Luo Jianping." Peng Guang said.

Yuan Wenshao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Open the city gate!"

Luo Jianping's level is very difficult to capture alive, and the soldiers behind him are some distance away from him, and it is impossible to be controlled.

"Captain Yuan, I, General Luo Jianping, have been ordered to come to support." Luo Jianping said loudly.

"Wait a moment, Guard Luo. I'm going to order people to open the city gate."

Yuan Wenshao replied, and walked down the city with a kind of general.

The city gate opened, and Yuan Wenshao rode out to welcome him. He cupped his hands and said, "Luo Shouwei, you were so negligent just now. I still hope Haihan."

"Haha, you should be more cautious during war." Luo Jianping said with a smile.

After welcoming the army into the city, Yuan Wenshao held a banquet in honor of Luo Jianping at the city lord's palace.

"Luo Shoubei has arrived, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I'll toast Luo Shoubei with tea instead of wine." Yuan Wenshao laughed.

"Haha, it's all for Da Zhou, no need to be polite." Luo Jianping said boldly.

After finishing the meal, Luo Jianping said: "When I was about to arrive in Lingzhou City, I met a messenger sent by Ding Guogong, so I brought you the letter by the way."

After speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao opened it and saw that it was indeed Sun Qi's handwriting, and was stunned after reading the content.

Sun Qi said in the letter that the imperial court had sent Ningyuan Hou to lead an army of [-] troops to guard Lingzhou City, and they would arrive in a few days.

Ask him to hand over to Luo Jianping and rush to Dingzhou City as soon as possible.

There was nothing to hide in the letter. Yuan Wenshao read the letter and handed it to Luo Jianping.

After reading it, Luo Jianping congratulated and said: "Looks like Lieutenant Yuan is about to be promoted, maybe next time I see you, you will have a higher position than me, so I need to take care of you when the time comes."

Luo Jianping was even a little jealous of Yuan Wenshao.

He was almost 40 years old before he mixed into the fifth-rank defense, and Yuan Wenshao was already a sixth-rank at a young age.

This time, he has made great achievements again, and he can go further.

"Luo Shoubei is serious. I have just been promoted to six levels in a row. How can it be so easy to be promoted." Yuan Wenshao laughed.

"The Duke asked you to rush to Dingzhou. You should be waiting for the imperial court to award the reward and make arrangements. And you have made such a great contribution, how come you are not rewarded, and maybe you can even be granted a knighthood." Luo Jianping said enviously.

"Then I'll use Luo to guard the auspicious words." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Early the next morning, after the handover was completed, Yuan Wenshao led Zhang An and more than 30 soldiers to Dingzhou City.

He wanted to stay and meet Gu Tingye's father, but unfortunately he had military orders and couldn't delay.

……

Just when Yuan Wenshao set off towards Dingzhou City, Eunuch Li had already returned to Bianjing City.

Eunuch Li returned to the palace and went directly to the Ruisi Hall. After the announcement, he adjusted his makeup and walked into the hall, shouting: "It's a happy event for the official family, a great happy event."

The official was reviewing the memorial. When he learned that Eunuch Li was back, he put down his pen and was rubbing his sore wrist. When he heard his words, he asked, "How happy are you?"

"Going back to the official's house, when the old slave went to Dingzhou City to preach the decree, Zhaowu Captain Yuan Wenshao had already captured Lingzhou City, and even the victory report was sent to Dingguo Gong. Dingguogong asked the old slave to bring the victory report back and sent To the officials."

Eunuch Li held the battle report in both hands and said.

Without any instructions from the officials, the eunuch standing beside him quickly stepped forward, took the battle report, and sent it to him.
The official picked up the battle report, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. Yuan Wenshao is worthy of his meritorious service. I will reward him heavily."

"The official family is so happy."

At this moment, an old eunuch hurried in.

"Oh?" The official said with a smile: "It seems that double happiness is coming to the door today. Tell me, what is the happy event?"

"Officials, Concubine De is happy." The old eunuch said.

"Clap!"

The good news in the official's hand fell on the table, and he stood up suddenly, his body trembling a little and said: "What did you say?"

"Officials, Empress Concubine De is not feeling well today. After calling the imperial doctor to see it, she diagnosed it as a happy pulse." The old eunuch said.

"Okay, God bless me Dazhou, God bless me Dazhou." The official trembled with excitement.

He is already over 40 years old, but his children have died one after another over the years, and none of them have reached adulthood.

However, just when he was about to despair, one of his concubines became pregnant.

"Show off at Shuning Palace!" the official said excitedly.

"Yes!"

……

Princess Shion

The civil and military officials stood up according to their respective ranks, waiting for the officials to go to court.

As the eunuch shouted that His Majesty had arrived, all the civil and military officials stood up and shouted in unison: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The official waited for everyone to fall back, and sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face. He said with a smile: "Concubine De is pregnant with the dragon heir. God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have decided to change the name to God Bless next year!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

All the officials congratulated in unison.

Only when the official family has a heir can the court be stable. Except for those who stood in line in advance, all the officials were happy.

As for changing the Yuan Dynasty, it is not a big deal, and the officials will naturally not object.

"Haha, there is another happy event besides this. Duke Dingguo has sent good news that Lingzhou City has been captured." The official laughed.

"what?"

The well-informed people already knew about the news of Concubine De's happiness yesterday. However, Lingzhou City was captured, but they didn't get the slightest news.

The official asked someone to read the victory report, and said, "All your ministers, tell me how to reward you?"
