Chapter 1081: Changes in Shen Tang, the name of the God of War
Just a few years ago, Shen Tang was just a countryman. Not to mention facing himself, even Shen Tang, the head of a county, had to work hard to make friends with him.
However, just three years later, Shen Tang has undergone almost earth-shaking changes!
He conquered the south and conquered the north, and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. His identity also changed from an ordinary citizen to a being that he also wanted to look up to!
Compared with Shen Tang before, he is now more mature and has more power! Xiang Liang is also well-informed, but facing Shen Tang, he can't help but feel awe and a bit of admiration!
In fact, Shen Tang's status and power are enough to make people ignore his current age! Who would have thought that this man who has repeatedly made great achievements in both civil and military affairs has just passed his prime!
Some people come to this world just to be envied and looked up to by others! Just like Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, the eighteen-year-old champion prince! Although Shen Tang is slightly inferior, he is enough to stand out in the Song Dynasty!
"Your Excellency has once again made great achievements this time and unified southern Xinjiang. This is my great joy in the Song Dynasty! It would be a pity if I cannot come to welcome you!"
Xiang Liang knew a lot about what Shen Tang did, including after Jian Cheng returned, he told him what Shen Tang did in great detail! Although Xiang Liang was only a prefect, he was of great significance to the unification of southern Xinjiang. But he is very clear! He has even thought of the connection between this incident and the current invasion of Dali soldiers into the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Xiang Liang admires Shen Tang even more!
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating!"
Shen Tang said with a smile, "If I didn't give my full support to you this time, how could things go so smoothly?"
Xiang Liang laughed and said, "You and I don't have to be humble to each other.
When you come to my Jiading Mansion, you have to get drunk before you stop! Otherwise, my two old friends will not let me go!"
"Not long ago, Brother Wuguan mentioned you in his letter, saying that this time he accepted your favor! However, Brother Wuguan is very talented, and now he can be considered as giving full play to his talents!"
Previously, Shen Tang went on a killing spree on Northwest Fifth Road, and Lu You and the two took the opportunity to take a big step forward, but in terms of their character and talents, they are worthy of their current positions.
"Let's go, let's go back to Jiading Mansion directly, otherwise, your wife will be waiting in a hurry!"
Rune Town and Jiading Mansion are not too far apart, so before sunset, the group entered Jiading Mansion! The accompanying army will set up camp and repair without Shen Tang's trouble, and Shen Tang will directly go to Jiading Mansion under the leadership of Xiang Liang. Enter the city.
"Master Shen, I have arranged a residence for you. You have worked hard all the way back, so go back and rest for the night, and I will meet you tomorrow!"
"Thank you sir!"
Xiang Liang led Shen Tang to a quiet house, then said goodbye and left! Shen Tang stepped in!
"Ah! The master is back!"
In the courtyard, Yun'er exclaimed, then turned around and ran towards the house!
Shen Tang smiled softly. Facing the girls, he was always the most relaxed when he didn't need to plan or think. He only needed to enjoy the simplest and plainest warmth.
"Husband!"
Soon, Mu Yu walked out of the house!
Shen Tang strode forward and held Mu Yu and Yun'er in his arms, "How about it, this time my husband didn't break his promise!"
The two of them nodded happily. Originally, they thought that Shen Tang would be gone for a long time, but they didn't expect that he would return safely in just over ten days!
"Yun'er, hurry up and get someone to prepare food and hot water!"
After a moment of tenderness, Mu Yu hurriedly said, "It must have been a hard journey for your husband to come back. Please help him wash up and eat quickly!"
Yun'er nodded and called the maids to prepare! With the help of the two girls, Shen Tang cleaned up comfortably, but it took a full hour before he started eating!
A little farewell is better than a wedding, and there is no need to mention the night of love! At noon the next day, Xiang Liang came to visit again!
The two sat across from each other for a moment and then asked Liang, "Now that southern Xinjiang has surrendered, Dali must also be withdrawing its troops! Mr. Shen has worked hard all the way, and after returning to Chengdu this time, he can also take a good rest. !”
Speaking of which, Shen Tang has been very busy since he came to Chengdu! I am afraid that Shen Tang was the only one in the entire Song Dynasty who was so busy! In just a few months, Shen Tang first traveled all over the northwest five roads, and this time again I have been in southern Xinjiang for more than a month!
"They are all serving the imperial court. Fortunately, I have not disappointed the Holy Emperor! It is a pity that the imperial court is short of money and food now. Otherwise, I really want to send troops to meet the troops of Dali Kingdom!"
"Hahaha!"
Xiang Liang laughed loudly, "How can this small country of Dali be worthy of our Song Dynasty's God of War?
Any partial force is enough for them to bear."
Shen Tang waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense about the name of the God of War! Although I have some merits, I still serve my life as a soldier and the imperial court supports me!"
Xiang Liang smiled and didn't say much, but the name he was called the God of War was really not something to be said carelessly! During this period of time, with Zhao Shen and Zhang Jun secretly fueling the fire, many of Shen Tang's achievements were made. Folk rumors! Not to mention the Chengdu war, many of the contributions including the Sizhou war were attributed by Zhang Jun to Shen Tang!
To put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty now needs a hero to boost the people's morale! It also needs a role model to boost the morale of the army! Among the people, Shen Tang went north to the Kingdom of Jin and fought for the victory of the Song Dynasty. When he returned, the Eleventh Company asked him to marry him. Princess of the Kingdom of Jin! During the Battle of Tubo, Shen Tang borrowed troops twice, and entered the Chengdu Prefecture twice. They were all made up into stories by the people and circulated in the mouths of storytellers.
Shen Tang really fits the image of a hero. He is young and handsome, has many achievements, and is both civil and military! Almost everyone can find something to admire in Shen Tang.
Especially in Fulu, Chengdu, Shen Tang's reputation is even more prosperous! He entered Shu twice to defeat the Tubo army, and he did not fear life and death to save the people! In the hearts of the people of Chengdu Prefecture, Shen Tang is almost like a living Bodhisattva! Even, because Shen Tang is in charge of Chengdu Prefecture, and the local people are very proud!
"Speaking of the affairs of Dali Kingdom, I think it should come soon!"
Shen Tang thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
When he was in the Jiazong tribe, the Murong clan had returned south! As of now, seven or eight days have passed since he returned from the Wedeng tribe.
Calculating the time, the Murong clan should have entered the territory of Dali Kingdom, and even arrived at Shanchan Mansion, and the soldiers and horses of Xuhen Department and Wudeng Department should have also started to stir up trouble in Jianchang Mansion!
The return of the Murong clan to the south was definitely a huge surprise for the Dali Kingdom. With the arrival of such a strange and even uncontrollable force, their subsequent troops would naturally not dare to move lightly!
