Chapter 1331: Po Sulu boarding the ship, chaos in the court
"Do not worry!"
Zhang Jun patted Wu Lin's palm gently, and smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, not only are we defeated, but the entire Xiangyang City area has been invaded by Jin troops!"
"So, whether you want to make peace with the Jin people or continue the war, Your Majesty will definitely find Shen Tang back!"
"After that boy comes back, he will definitely come to Fengxiang Mansion. By then, you will naturally meet each other!"
Wu Lin nodded slightly, the look in his eyes was complicated and full of hope!
Shen Tang and his party headed south all the way to Posu Road! The reason why they went to Posu Road was because Shen Tang wanted to take the waterway for the rest of the journey!
Get on the boat from Posu Road and head southwest. It won't take long to land at Yidu Mansion on Shandong East Road. Then, Shen Tang and others can go to Lianli City!
Shen Tang has a lot to do when he returns this time, and Xiang Ling is pregnant, so it is naturally inconvenient for the girls to accompany Shen Tang around!
And Lianli City is located at the junction of Song and Jin countries, so it is naturally the most suitable location for the girls!
Although, now not only the Fengxiang Prefecture beacon company, but also Xiangyang City is mobilized from various places.
However, both the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty had a tacit understanding to bypass Lianli City.
In fact, there were no signs of mobilizing troops in the Shandong and Huainan areas of the Jin Kingdom and the Huainan area of the Song Dynasty. Lian Licheng's business was not affected much either. Except for some extremely important strategic materials, other businesses were still very popular. .
Furthermore, now that Shao Xun is in Lianli City and Li Xianzhong is in charge of Sizhou, the girls can sit back and relax in Lianli City!
If this journey is all done by land, even if you take good care of it, there will still be bumps and fatigue. If you switch to the water route, not only will everyone be much more relaxed, but they will also be much more comfortable.
With the personal escort of He Shi Liezhining, the journey was naturally smooth. In just over ten days, Shen Tang and others arrived at the southernmost end of Posu Road!
"General Shen, I will take my leave!"
Looking at the soldiers and horses who came to greet Shen Tang not far away, these sensible guards did not move forward again, but directly said goodbye to Shen Tang! After Shen Tang returned the courtesy, they turned their horses around without hesitation. go!
The reason for this is because they could clearly see that the soldiers and horses coming to greet them were those of the Song Dynasty!
And now, only the soldiers and horses under Shen Tang can enjoy such treatment as the Song army that can move through the Jin Kingdom unimpeded!
"Greetings, sir..."
After He Shi Lie Zhining's personal guards left, the soldiers and horses who came to greet him sped up to greet him. When they got closer, the leading man got off his horse and saluted Shen Tang!
Shen Tang stepped forward and said, "Brother Yuhu, thank you for your hard work!"
Ever since Teng Wu led his troops to Japan, Cheng Yuhu had been on standby. Originally, he had not planned to stay too long in the Kingdom of Jin, but he suddenly received an order from Shen Tang and was about to return.
Therefore, he ordered some soldiers and horses to go back directly by land, while he took more than a thousand people to escort Shen Tang back together.
The reason why more troops were not left behind was because although the two ships that remained were huge, how could they carry ten to twenty thousand troops?
Cheng Yuhu grinned, and then stood up with Shen Tang's support, "Sir, the warship ahead is ready and can set off at any time! I have asked all the sailors on the ship to take part of the chart that your Excellency sent over before. Look, this road is not too far, we can reach Shandong East Road in at most ten days!"
"good!"
Under the guidance of Cheng Yuhu, the group of people stepped forward again, and not long after, they came to the place where two sea ships were moored.
"Sir, this ship looks much bigger than our Song Dynasty ships!"
The girls looked at the two huge warships curiously, with curiosity in their eyes.
Shen Tang smiled and nodded, "This ship is the ship from Japan that I mentioned to you before. Most of the others have been taken away by Teng Wu and others, leaving only two ships.
However, it is enough to carry our people, horses and things! These ships can travel far across the vast ocean, so they are naturally unique. Compared with our ships of the Song Dynasty, they are indeed not inferior!"
As he said that, Shen Tang and his party stepped onto the sampan and boarded the big ship!
Then, huge sails slowly stood up, and the sea breeze blew. The two large ships quickly left Posu Road and headed towards the southwest of Shandong...
In Lin'an City, as further battle reports from Fengxiang Mansion and successive memorials from Xiangyang City came in, Zhao Shen's expression became more dull and depressed day by day!
In recent days, there has been a lot of quarrels in the court! Some were directed at Yu Yunwen, Wu Lin and others, and some were shouting to seek peace with the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible. Zhao Shen, who was already extremely depressed, became even more furious when he saw such a scene.
However, because this battle was fought with his support, now that he is defeated, he really doesn’t know what to say to these people!
Zhao Shen's retreat made the atmosphere in the court even more intense. This was not true. Just after the morning court, the ministers once again started arguing about this matter. Zhao Shen was so angry that he retreated directly back to the Qinzheng Hall!
"Asshole!"
Zhao Shen waved his hand and swept the tea bowl on the small table to the ground. These civil and military officials can all praise their virtues when they have nothing to do, but when something really happens, there are not even a few people who can make suggestions... It's not that there was nothing, it was those people's words that made Zhao Shen furious!
Some people say that this battle was deliberately started by Wu Lin and others, and the purpose was naturally for military glory.
Now, this battle was a big defeat, and naturally he should be severely punished. Not only Wu Lin, but all the generals in the entire Lizhou area should be punished!
How could Zhao Shen not understand that it was true that these people wanted to punish Wu Lin, and their bigger purpose was not to reach out to Lizhou soldiers and horses?
As for suing for peace with the Kingdom of Jin, this is not unacceptable to Zhao Shen! But, listen to what those people said?
First of all, the old coins that were suspended by Shen Tang were restored and even doubled. In addition, several important towns in Lizhou were ceded to the Jin Kingdom to make amends!
If he didn't have to take into account his status as emperor, Zhao Shen would definitely have a full-scale fight with the person who proposed it! Traitor, traitor to the country, these people really don't feel sorry for them at all!
Don't these people know that once several important towns in Lizhou are ceded, they will become a springboard for Jin Guobing to enter Lizhou?
Now it's too late to stop the Jin soldiers, so they still have to send them out with their hands folded?
Do these people have any brains?
"Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the Imperial City Department..."
At this moment, Wang Quan carefully entered the hall and reported to Zhao Shen!
