Chapter 1083: Xiangguo is secretly angry and arrives in the city
Chapter 1083: Prime Minister is secretly angry and arrives at Fucheng
The surrender of Southern Xinjiang made the Song Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief, and also made Zhao Shen feel much happier.
If there are no accidents, then Dali's retreat is just around the corner!
However, for the Dali Kingdom, this was like a sap! Especially the prime minister, Gao Liangcheng, finally persuaded the emperor to send troops to the Song Dynasty, but something like this happened. If it ends in an anticlimax, then next time in the country If you want to send troops to the Song Dynasty, you have almost no chance.
But now the situation has become increasingly serious, forcing Gao Liangcheng to think carefully about his next move. That's why he quickly sent a message to Gao Liguo's army to temporarily stop the expedition and stay put!
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, General Dingyuan asks for an audience!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Liangcheng looked at the reports from various places with a solemn expression! A young boy walked in and reported respectfully.
"Let him in!"
Not long after, a burly man with a dark face entered the hall, "General Dingyuan Gong Ming, pay your respects to the Prime Minister!"
"How is the situation in Shanchan Mansion and Jianchang Mansion now?"
Gao Liangcheng asked in a deep voice.
"I report to the Prime Minister that outside the Shanchan Mansion, the Murong clan of the Jiazong branch has tens of thousands of soldiers! The troops stationed in the Shanchan Mansion sent troops to drive them away, but although they did not resist, they did not leave.
They claim that they do not want to fight with the stationed soldiers and horses, but are here just to regain the position of the main line of the Jiazong tribe and return to their ancestral land!"
"General Zhang Guang has not received orders from the Taoist Prime Minister, so he does not dare to start a war without authorization.
Therefore, the two sides are in a confrontation! However, the Murong clan has given an ultimatum! Claiming that this matter has nothing to do with other tribes and forces, it is an internal matter of the Jiazong tribe. If they are still not allowed to enter Shanchan Mansion within three days, then they We will start a war directly!"
"The situation in Jianchang Mansion has been extremely chaotic recently. Many tribes adjacent to the Wudeng tribe have been plundered and harassed. Moreover, they also sent tens of thousands of troops to enter Jianchang Mansion with great fanfare. The latest news is that Wu Deng’s tribe has 50,000 elite warriors!”
"In addition, with the turmoil in Jianchang Mansion, there have been tribal changes in Shicheng County and the Zuining Army, but there is no definite news yet!"
Gao Liangcheng's face turned ugly. These tribes that he had suppressed back then were actually coming out to make trouble! But he couldn't ignore it. If Shicheng County was really in turmoil, the soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty would be able to withdraw even if they wanted to. I'm afraid it can't be done.
"Have you not received any news from the spies you sent out?"
Gao Liangcheng asked again.
The man shook his head and said, "Xiangguo, this detective went to the north to check the situation. I'm afraid it will take three or four days to return!"
"You should retreat first and send an order to Dong Yu, asking him to lead 10,000 troops to Jianchang Mansion! However, don't rush into battle with the troops of Wu Deng Department. Find a way to negotiate with them. First, see what their purpose is. What!"
"Delay the affairs of Shanchan Mansion for three days. If they have to go to the city, tell them that the Prime Minister will come to discuss the matter with them in person and let them wait a few more days."
General Dingyuan was ordered to leave, but Gao Liangcheng's eyes were solemn, "I hope this is just an accident. If the Song Dynasty is really behind these things, it would be bad! However, the tribes in southern Xinjiang have always been xenophobic. Come to think of it, It would be impossible for the Song Dynasty to regain them.
It’s just that some conditions may have been reached…”…
After staying in Jiading Mansion for two days, Shen Tang finally returned to Chengdu Mansion!
Shen Tang led Shen Chou, Lei Zheng and a group of guards all the way north, while Shi Ying led his troops to separate from Shen Tang and return west to Diaomen Village! As for the unexpected harvest in Wumeng tribe , then Shen Tang sent soldiers and horses to secretly escort him back to Chengdu!
The matter has come to an end, so Shen Tang and his party are not in a hurry! They are slowly heading north all the way. It is March, so they regard it as a spring outing!
"Husband, after returning home, let's go on a spring outing as a family!"
On horseback, Mu Yu said happily.
"good!"
Shen Tang responded with a smile, "We have been running all the way, it's time to take a good rest when we get back!"
"After passing Pengshan, we will reach the boundary of Chengdu Prefecture!"
Yun'er said happily, how satisfying it was to be with the lady and her lover on this trip! Moreover, the package she carried with her was full of special gifts from various places. This time when she goes back, she will definitely be able to satisfy those few people. The little sisters are so envious.
After another day of walking north, we finally arrived outside Chengdu Prefecture at sunset!
"Who is coming!"
The soldier guarding the gate saw a troop of troops coming and immediately stepped forward to inquire!
"The prefect is back, please stand down!"
Shen Qiu showed his badge. When the guards saw him, they quickly saluted and then removed the roadblocks to allow Shen Tang and his party to enter the city.
Without disturbing others, Shen Tang and his entourage went directly to the government office and entered the backyard! Naturally, the girls in the family were overjoyed when Shen Tang returned!
Yun'er took out all the gifts she was carrying and showed them off to the little sisters, while Xiang Ling, Wan Yan Yue and Zhao Ling gathered around Shen Tang to greet them!
The quiet backyard is once again filled with laughter because of Shen Tang’s return!
After washing, everyone sat down to eat together, and then took a rest. Needless to say!
Let's say that in Huayang County, in the Wang family's mansion, the head of the family, Wang Hui, faced the table full of delicacies and the singing and dancing maids, but he didn't have the slightest thought. He didn't know why in the past few days, he had been feeling uneasy, but he also I couldn't detect the source of my uneasiness! I smoothed the things in my hands for a long time, but I didn't find anything inappropriate!
"Master, the Fan family has sent someone here!"
A boy came in and said respectfully.
Wang Hui waved his hand and asked the maids to retreat, "Go and bring him in!"
Not long after, a young man in brocade clothes stepped in!
"My nephew is paying homage to Uncle Wang! It's really inappropriate to disturb him late at night, but my father sent my nephew to pay homage to me. I hope my uncle won't be surprised!"
This young man's name is Fan Yongchang, and he is the eldest son of Fan Zhize, the head of the Fan family! Although Fan Yongchang is not old, he is very knowledgeable and is deeply loved by Fan Zhize! Many affairs in the family are also directly handed over to him! Compared with before, As for the second young master of the Wang family who was arrested by Shen Tang, Fan Yongchang did not know how much he had robbed.
"It's Yongchang!"
Wang Hui smiled and said, "Sit down, your father ordered you to come, but what's the matter?"
Fan Yongchang sat down respectfully, "Uncle, my father has calculated the time. Our caravan should have left the country long ago. Has any news come back?"
Wang Hui's expression changed, and then he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Yes, according to normal circumstances, it should be time to send back the news."
This is not the first time a caravan has been sent south. Every time the caravan conducts transactions in Wumeng Mountain, it will send people to send back the news, and then enter the territory of Dali! Could it be that there was an accident?
