A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

It was quiet in the hall, and only the breathing of the messenger could be heard.

A great victory?

Zhao Zhen stood there, stretched out his hand to break away from Chen Zhongheng's support, stared at the messenger and asked: "Speak clearly."

The messenger took his breath and said, "Your Majesty, there is a rebellion in Xiping Prefecture. Someone attempted to pacify Xiao Gu but failed. Then Mr. Zeng arrived and immediately the whole army marched to Xiping Prefecture..."

assassinate?

So bold. Is this a collusion between the natives and the Cochin people?

Others thought they were only angry about this matter, but Zhao Zhen made the correct judgment immediately from the perspective of an emperor.

"...The cave generals gathered more than 7,000 people, and our army had 17,000 people. When the two sides encountered each other, Shen Taizhao concluded that the enemy army was deceitful, and there must be an ambush in the nearby mountains and forests..."

Han Qi thought of the war that year... Was it a great victory at that time?

Right, just win big and then pursue.

"...With just one attack, the natives were defeated and our army won a great victory..."

Han Qi's heart beat a little, and then his heartbeat accelerated...

A great victory...the pursuit...

Then came the ambush.

"...After just defeating the natives, Shen waited for the imperial edict and turned to form a formation. As soon as he formed the formation, Jiaozhi ambush troops rushed out of the mountains in front..."

oh……

This sound is very annoying!

Zhao Zhen looked up and saw Han Qi.

Han Qi thought of the Battle of Haoshuichuan...

The pursuers found several large boxes in the middle of the road, so they opened them out of curiosity, and many pigeons flew out of them. The dove was the signal, and then the flag waved, and the ambush troops on the left and right came out...

Then he was defeated. He still remembered that after retreating, he met the families of the fallen soldiers. Those people pulled the reins of his war horse, and someone called the ghost in front of his horse: "You followed Han Zhaofeng to go on an expedition. Today Han Zhaofeng came back, but But you died and your soul came back... Come back with Han Zhaoduo..."

He remembered that he couldn't help but feel horrified when he heard these words, as if there were countless dead souls behind him...

He lowered his head, and then tears fell.

It's been so many years, just wait until you go home.

"...the Cochin people went out in full force, with more than 20,000 in number, and they were all well-armed and elite..."

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, wishing he could be there.

Han Qi raised his head, two tears still hanging on his face, and his face was full of nervousness.

"Shen Taizhao saw that the enemy's foothold was not stable, so he personally led the cavalry to attack. He defeated the enemy's cavalry in one battle and disrupted the enemy's front line..."

"good!"

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "What a young man!"

He sent Shen An just to let the young man experience the hardships in the southwest.

The key to becoming an official lies in experience, but where does experience come from? It comes from working everywhere and traveling around.

When I was young, I was running around and doing things boldly. Only when I was in the temple in the future could I plan strategies and be calm and leisurely.

This is cultivation.

All that's left is to chase, right?

Zhao Zhen was happy and was waiting for the good news later.

There was a look of admiration on the messenger's face, "The enemy's front line was in chaos, but Shen Taizhao ordered the cavalry to withdraw. Everyone was puzzled, and then they discovered that the enemy's archers had already formed a formation. If it were a moment later, the cavalry would probably be gone. Can’t come back.”

Zhao Zhen was originally happy, but after hearing this, he was surprised and immediately praised: "You are brave and resourceful, you are brave and resourceful!"

"Then our troops formed a formation, and the enemy troops were waiting for work and immediately launched an attack..."

"Our army used long gunmen to snipe the enemy in front, and the divine crossbows showed off their power first. The enemy suffered heavy losses, then the archers fired a volley, and finally they stabbed with long spears..."

Through these narrations, the battle seemed to appear before Zhao Zhen's eyes.

Arrows were flying, and countless people struggled to attack, and then were stabbed into meat skewers in front of the spear formation. Blood is flowing on the ground, and the tender grass in early spring is greedily sipping the nectar...

The screams seemed to be right next to my ears...

"The enemy's morale was frustrated, and Shen Taizhao immediately led his cavalry to counterattack... The enemy's army was defeated, and our troops surrounded us on the left and right. Shen Taizhao led his cavalry to outflank and intercept. After a period of fighting, more than a thousand enemy troops rushed into the forest. But the Mangshan Army also followed and chased them in..."

This is to kill them all!

"Then Shen waited for an edict to surrender, saying that the road on Guangnan West Road was not smooth and it would be best to have such free labor..."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "That young man is unparalleled in business, and he is also the same in state affairs. I am thinking that if he is older, Bao Zheng should abdicate in favor of others, hahahaha!"

Bao Zheng is the third envoy, which means that Zhao Zhen believes that Shen An has the ability to manage finances for the country.

Han Qi was a little silent. He had always been famous for his ability to know soldiers, and he was happy about it. But today, his ability to know soldiers seemed to have become a joke.

From what the messenger said, it can be known that Shen An was commanding this battle from beginning to end, from defeating the natives at the beginning, to withdrawing his troops in time and forming an array, and finally defeating the Cochin people...

This step is very steady and almost impeccable.

Who knows about soldiers?

He was a little panicked.

"...More than 5,300 enemies were killed, more than 16,000 were captured, and more than 5,000 corpses were buried and awaiting orders to be built in front of the mountains and forests. It is such a big temple..."

Zhao Zhen shuddered, and Chen Zhongheng shouted: "Shut up!"

How can you say something that would give people nightmares?

Chen Zhongheng was scared even thinking about it.

More than 5,000 corpses were built into the Jingguan. How big was the Jingguan?

Hill-like.

He couldn't help but sneeze.

Zhao Zhen's face turned pale and he said, "Whatever he did, please tell me."

The messenger was originally frightened, but when he heard these gentle words of comfort, he couldn't help crying: "Your Majesty is kind..."

Zhao Zhen looked pale and said, "Is there anything else going on later?"

Chen Zhongheng waved to someone to come in and guide the messenger out.

"that……"

The messenger suddenly remembered Shen An's private confession before leaving, and said: "When our army counterattacked, Mr. Zeng and others were inspired to follow suit..."

Zhao Zhen was smiling, but his smile solidified after hearing these words.

Han Qi was even more stunned.

Damn it!

Zeng Gongliang went into battle?

Has Lao Zeng gone crazy?

You are Zaisu!

Who has ever seen Zaisu in battle?

You are posing a problem for me!

Next time there is a war like this, if I am present, will I also have to follow and fight?

But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was a gimmick created by Zeng Gongliang, just to show off his merits.

Yes, I became the Prime Minister. Zeng Gongliang was not convinced, so he made a gimmick of going into battle in person to demonstrate.

It's just a showpiece, it's of no use!

He couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Zhen also thought of this. The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

If Lao Zeng wants to pull a stunt, let him do it and let's watch the show.

"... Zeng Xiang killed one person with his own hands... Xiao Gu, the appeasement envoy, killed one person with his own hands..."

Han Qi's eyes widened immediately.

Did Lao Zeng kill someone?

Are you kidding me?

Zhao Heng was also dumbfounded, no, he was shocked and at a loss what to do.

Before the Song Dynasty, there were aristocratic families and powerful gentry. There are wealthy gentry now, but there are no aristocratic families.

But officials, a group with many privileges, took over the guns of the aristocratic family, continued to monopolize power, and continued to control the steering wheel of the old car of the Song Dynasty.

These civil servants were arrogant and arrogant. They believed that they were the saviors and the masters of the Song Dynasty, while others were naturally tools and slaves.

They are delicate and elegant, and like luxurious lifestyles, delicious food, beauties...

Asking them to kill the enemy is as absurd as asking women to kill the enemy.

But Lao Zeng actually dared to go into battle and kill the enemy...

He even killed someone with his own hands...

I……

Zhao Zhen's eyes almost popped out.

Is this a dream?

He looked at the messenger, and Chen Zhongheng immediately yelled: "If there are lies, it is a serious crime!"

He was also worried that it would be a gimmick and that once the truth was revealed, things would be out of control.

The messenger said in panic: "I don't dare, the villain. At that time, Shen Taizhao was preparing to charge into the battle. Before the attack, Mr. Zeng tried to dissuade him and asked him why..."

yes!

Is your brain twitching?

"...What did he say?"

"Shen Daizhao said that the literati of the Song Dynasty despised the warriors... He also said that the literati of the Song Dynasty did not dare to draw swords or carry swords. There were dangers everywhere around the Song Dynasty. He wanted to use his blood to arouse the bloody nature of the literati, and the hand holding the pen also Can hold a knife...last sentence...last sentence..."

Zhao Zhen clenched his hands and felt a surge of heat rushing through his chest.

There were powerful enemies everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and the hand that holds the pen can also hold a knife. How great it would be if this could be done!

"What did you say at the end?"

He laughed again, very warmly.

The messenger took a peek at Chen Zhongheng and whispered: "Ask those civil servants... Where are the eggs? Where are the men's eggs?"

puff!

I don’t know who couldn’t hold it back and burst out laughing.

Chen Zhongheng looked back and saw that he was a young chamberlain.

He wanted to get angry, but in the end he sighed.

They are both eggless chambermaids, so why bother to make things difficult for each other.

Zhao Zhen's expression was very strange, half-smiling but not smiling.

Han Qi's face was livid. At this moment, he had believed the news that Zeng Gongliang was going into battle.

That Shen An...is so lacking in virtue!

If you ask this in public, if you are a man, you can't help it, otherwise you will be accused of having no eggs afterwards.

What is it without eggs?

He glanced at Chen Zhongheng.

Chen Zhongheng was feeling sorry for himself. He sensitively noticed the meaning of this glance and couldn't help but get angry.

Damn it, Han Qi, I have no eggs, but I am more courageous than a man like you who has eggs!

Zhao Zhen straightened his back, his eyes bright, and his heart happy.

"Report victory everywhere."

"yes."

This is what it should be and can boost people's morale.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and asked, "It wasn't long ago when Fuzhou reported victory last time, right?"

This is asking knowingly. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

Chen Zhongheng said respectfully: "It didn't take long."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Not long ago, Southwest reported another victory. I was happy to hear it. I think both the army and the people will be happy... Shen An... here comes someone."

"His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen raised his head slightly and said: "Yesterday, someone said that there are many flowers and plants blooming in the palace garden. Go and ask someone to pick up Shen An's sister. Children like to play. Let the queen take her around."

The news reached the harem, and Queen Cao said happily: "Is this a great victory? Great! Quick, send some reliable people to the Bao family to pick up his sister."

Zhao Zhen has been preoccupied recently, mainly because of the war in the southwest.

Now that the news of the great victory came, the entire harem was overjoyed.

Shen An's name also spread among the harem.

The young man was so brave that he actually charged into the battle and defeated the Cochin people.
