A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 533: Officials personally seal famous generals

Wang Yu left.

Shen An is gone.

Zhe Kexing is a boring gourd.

Zhao Zhongzhen has never felt so lonely.

He had to go to Taixue from time to time to check on the miscellaneous studies professors.

"I've met Mr. Xiao Lang."

Zhao Zhen's attitude has not changed, and Zhao Zongshi's position as prince is probably secure. As the eldest son of the prince, Zhao Zhongzhen will become the prince and emperor in the future if he makes no mistakes.

Therefore, the disciples of Taixue smiled somewhat flatteringly.

Just as Zhao Zhongzhen was about to go in, he saw a group of teachers and students coming out.

"Where are you going?"

When everyone saw it was him, they said: "Today's wheat harvest in Shenjiazhuang was made with some kind of dung pill. It looks good. I will tell you before I leave. I want to help during the wheat harvest and experience it."

Studying must be done diligently, and one must not be industrious in all aspects of the study, and must not distinguish between the five grains and grains.

Only then did Zhao Zhongzhen remember that thing. He frowned and said, "It's the Golden Fertilizer Pill."

"Yes, it's the Golden Fat Pill!"

Guo Qian sighed: "I'm old."

Chen Ben frowned and said: "You have to hurry up, otherwise the wheat harvest will wait. Also, you have to have lunch when you are working in the fields, right? How to do it?"

Guo Qian said: "The villager knows how to do it."

All the way to Shenjiazhuang, the villagers had been waiting for a long time, and under the leadership of Zhuang Laoshi, they welcomed the teachers and students of Taixue.

"You're welcome."

Guo Qian seemed to have experienced this kind of labor, so he ordered very skillfully: "There are many of us and we don't have that many sickles. Let's take turns and the rest will tie the wheat."

Zhao Zhongzhen also wanted to go down, but was stopped by Zhuang Laoshi.

"Hold on, young man. We'll go down later."

Zhao Zhongzhen was puzzled, but believed that Zhuang Laoshi would not cheat him, so he watched from the edge of the field.

“These few acres of land look like a lot of land!”

Chen Ben inspected the land again and again, and felt that the advantages of these few acres of land were somewhat obvious. An old farmer next to him grinned and said: "You have good eyesight, these acres of land are grown like this because of the elixir given by my husband." gratifying."

"Elixir?"

Chen Ben was startled and felt that this was not a good thing to say and was a bit taboo.

Zhao Zhongzhen said: "It's Golden Fertilizer Pill."

"Oh oh oh, I remembered it wrong."

The old man said that he remembered it wrong, but his eyes were full of pride. Wherever he remembered it wrongly, it was clearly intentional.

Guo Qian nodded and said: "If we can harvest more, it will be an elixir for farmers."

The old man praised: "That's what this noble man means when he talks about touching the hearts of little people."

Then came the harvest, and the students took turns going down.

They were very excited at first, but after only a quarter of an hour, Zhao Zhongzhen saw that they started to sweat.

Drill is drill, farm work is farm work. The work of bending down to cut wheat is not easy.

"Tired!"

Someone stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat, and then screamed.

"It hurts!"

Zhao Zhongzhen didn't know what this was. Seeing the old farmer beside him smiling slyly and proudly, he asked, "Why is this?"

The old farmer smiled and said: "What is that word called... Maimang..."

Zhao Zhongzhen suddenly understood, "Like a light on the back? The sharp edge is revealed..."

The old farmer shook his head and said: "I don't understand, I don't understand."

This old farmer is very bad!

However, Zhao Zhongzhen felt very happy when he saw those students constantly being recruited.

This is the highest level of treating people, leaving you with nothing to complain about.

Later Zhuang Laoshi let him go to the ground.

This is the treatment of an emperor when you see how others suffer before you go.

Harvested, then dried and crushed.

After Zhao Zhongzhen returned home, he thought everything was fine, but unexpectedly he felt itchy all over at night.

It started on the back of my hands and then started to itch on my face.

By late night, he was itching all over his body and had a lot of pimples.

When the matter got serious, Zhao Zongshi sent for a doctor.

When the doctor asked about the situation, he said that it was caused by Maimang and got a packet of medicine for him to take a bath with.

Gao Taotao said eagerly: "How about harvesting wheat? What if something goes wrong?"

Zhao Zongshi frowned and said, "Those farmers have harvested every year and nothing has happened."

Gao Taotao thought this was nonsense, so he muttered: "Then Shen An did this, but what about the others? Why haven't they come back?"

The official's health has been good recently, which made Li Zhang feel a lot better.

But the morale in the army has not been very good recently.

They were harassed by the Liao people in Xiongzhou but had no choice but to send troops to encircle and suppress them but were rejected. Some civil servants ridiculed them, saying that the Bianliang Forbidden Army were just watchdogs and were useless.

It's no wonder that the civil servants are going crazy. If there is a commotion in Xiongzhou, the operation of the market will not be normal, and the pressure will be on the civil servants.

The Xiongzhou Forging Market could earn a lot of money for the Song Dynasty every year. If the financial resources here were blocked, the civil servants would dare to strangle the warriors to death.

Therefore, regardless of whether those who are harassing are thieves or Liao troops, just drive them away.

This was the request of the civil servants, but Li Zhang was unable to do anything.

"We are not allowed to send troops to encircle and suppress us. What are we going to do about this?"

It was rare for Li Zhang to complain. Those generals had been criticized during this period and could not hold it in any longer.

"There is only the Yunyi Army over there in Xiongzhou, but their horses are not good enough! How can they catch up with the Liao Army? Isn't this just sitting back and doing nothing?"

"Where is the Mangshan Army?"

"The horses of the Mangshan Army are pretty good, but I don't look down on Shen An. How can he surround the Liao Army with only a few men? If he is not chased, he is considered good."

"Yes! Commander, the Mangshan Army only has more than a hundred people. The Liao Army must have a lot of people there. I think we will have to join in the end."

"The most elite cavalry army in the Song Dynasty is in Bianliang. For many years, we have been eating and training, but there has been less fighting. This time, being called a guard dog, the official... I really want to kill someone!"

"Kill the hell!"

Li Zhang was now a bit more vulgar. He sat with a golden sword and said: "Don't underestimate Shen An and the Mangshan Army. I think they can at least discover the Liao Army. Shen An's ability to negotiate with foreign countries is great." , and then negotiated with the Liao people to see if they had the nerve to keep those people in Xiongzhou."

"The palace commander thinks highly of them, but he somewhat destroys his own prestige."

The generals felt unhappy, and then someone outside shouted: "The messenger is here, the messenger is here."

The messenger would go to the Privy Council and the Imperial City. Li Zhang shouted: "Intercept him, no, I will chase him immediately!"

Then the Privy Council rushed out of a group of generals, led by Li Zhang, and they all rushed towards the imperial city on horseback.

This is Bianliang City!

Someone on the imperial city noticed these ten cavalry and shouted. Then someone mobilized crossbowmen to be on guard. The cavalry also rushed out of the imperial city and happened to meet the messenger.

"Good news! Good news!"

Upon hearing the good news, the cavalry sent out manpower to protect the courier, and the rest of the troops came to greet him.

"It's the palace commander!"

Someone had already recognized Li Zhang, and everyone was stunned for a while. Someone said, "What does this mean, Commander-in-Chief? I'm afraid some censors will impeach him later."

A group of warriors are riding horses in Bianliang City. Is this a rebellion?

Li Zhang rushed over first. Seeing that the messenger was surrounded, he asked, "How is Xiongzhou?"

The messenger recognized him and said, "Shen Daizhao led the Mangshan army to surround and kill those thieves."

"good!"

"Hahahaha! Good job!"

"Shen An should come to be a general. If he comes, he will be in command now."

The warriors had been scorned and ridiculed by the civil officials during this period, and they had long been feeling aggrieved. When they heard the good news, they couldn't help laughing.

Li Zhang asked, "How many thieves are there?"

"Commander of the Palace, there are only dozens of people at most, otherwise the Mangshan Army wouldn't be able to surround and kill them."

This is the experience of warriors, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Li Zhang also felt that this should be the case, but the messenger shook his head and said: "There are more than five hundred enemy troops..."

Damn it!

Are you fooling me?

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then a feeling of being cheated made them angry.

"More than a hundred people surrounded and killed more than five hundred people?"

"If he can kill more than five hundred people, I will resign today!"

The general who spoke immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The messenger looked at him with some pain and said: "Jingguan is right there..."

What?

Jingguan?

Yes, Shen An's favorite thing is Jingguan. If he kills enough enemies in each battle, he will make people build Jingguan.

But that’s more than five hundred people!

Moreover, those Liao troops must be elites. How did the Mangshan army kill them?

A group of people surrounded the messenger and entered the imperial city. Li Zhang was able to enter, but the generals were intercepted.

Privy Councilor Zhang Sheng came out after hearing the news. After receiving the news, he was also confused and said: "One hundred people will kill five hundred people. I don't dare to make the decision on this matter. Let's go see the officials and ask the people next door to go too."

In the political hall, Han Qi and others were discussing matters. After receiving the news, Han Qi sighed: "I'm afraid it's because of love."

Everyone entered the palace, and Zhao Zhen came out yawning. After the messenger told the situation, he was dumbfounded.

"That... but killed them all?"

With more than 500 people, Shen An must have lied about the military situation, otherwise it would be impossible.

The messenger said: "Your Majesty, as evidenced by Jingguan, Shen Daizhao said it himself, none of those Liao people ran away."

"Are those Liao troops elite?"

Zhao Zhen felt that the young man might have lost his composure and made some fake things to fool himself.

What are you anxious about?

It’s easy to make mistakes if you’re in a hurry, do you understand?

"They are elite and well-equipped."

"Tell me about the battle."

The messenger was bitten to death, and there was nothing Zhao Zhen could do.

"...The Mangshan Army attacked at night. Shen Taizhao concluded that the enemy had a spy to report the news, and the enemy would definitely intercept and kill them in front. Later, they were intercepted by the enemy and chased and escaped. Shen Taizhao led the Liao army to Entering a swamp by the river, the Liao army was caught off guard, and most of them fell into it and were killed by crossbow arrows. The rest were surrounded and no one escaped."

"good!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but say hello, and then said: "What is a famous general? This is a famous general, hahahaha!"

The laughter was hearty, and Han Qi and others also laughed.

What a famous general!

This was said by the official himself.

From now on, Shen An will be able to coax and say that he is a famous general.

While Han Qi was happy, he was also a little bitter.

I am not a famous general as the official said. If I compete with Shen An in the future, where will I put my face?

Zhao Zhen said with a red face: "The Liao people claim to be prosperous in martial arts. This time Shen An defeated one against five and killed all the Liao troops and built a temple in Beijing. The Liao people in Nanjing Road will be in bad luck. My heart... ...Why do you feel so comfortable? How are you, gentlemen?"

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "If the officials allow it, I would like to get drunk and sing a song right now."

Zeng Gongliang praised: "Your Majesty, I saw Shen An's ability to lead the army when he was in Jiaozhi. He is really a famous general. Now that Xiongzhou has won the battle, I just want to plead for one thing."

Zhao Zhen said, "Zeng Qing, just tell me."

At this moment, he was in a very happy mood. Even if Zeng Gongliang asked for an official position for one of his disciples, he would agree.

Zeng Gongliang said seriously: "If the Song Dynasty wants to raise a large army to attack, I would like to go out."

Zhao Zhen pointed at him and said with a smile: "I want to take Shen An with me, okay?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "You are no wiser than your Majesty. That's what I think."

"Ha ha ha ha!"
