Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1452: Going out of the city to welcome Shentang, a group of people enter the city
Chapter 1452: Going out of the city to welcome Shentang, a group of people enter the city
Chapter 1452: Leaving the city to welcome Shen Tang, a group of people enter the city
At this moment, Liu Gong only felt one thing, and that was that he was feeling dizzy from head to toe, a little dizzy, and more of an unbelievable feeling!
The tens of thousands of rebels who he regarded as savage beasts were defeated so easily?
Is this because the person who came here is too powerful, or is Liu Gong too clumsy?
However, just in case, he did not relax the defense on the city wall! He just continued to observe the movements outside the city!
About half an hour later, most of the rebels outside the city had fled, and the few remaining rebels were all disarmed and taken into custody! Then, they saw a horse riding towards the city gate.
"Who is the guard on the city? Zhongwu Marquis Shen Tang is here, why don't you go out quickly to greet him!"
The loud voice reached the city wall, and Liu Gong, Zhang Shi, and even many of the soldiers guarding the city were all in high spirits!
Shen Tang! Marquis Zhongwu! The undefeated God of War of the Song Dynasty!
This name is really striking!
Liu Gong and Liu Gong never even doubted the authenticity of this matter. First of all, there was no need for these rebels to cause such a drama. Secondly, with the knowledge of these rebels, they probably would not use the name Shen Tang!
Look at the scene outside the city. Thousands of people just cut through the rebel army and beheaded the rebel commander Li Jin! If it were anyone else, Liu Gong and others might still be a little suspicious, but the person who came was Shen Tang. This name alone is enough to convince them.
Because, Shen Tang’s reputation is not achieved by boasting, but by fighting hard battles one after another!
It's true that for them, these tens of thousands of rebels are their formidable enemies, but compared with those enemies before Shen Tang, these rebels are nothing like clouds and mud! Even the Jin Kingdom's tens of thousands of troops were defeated In Shen Tang's hands, what do tens of thousands of refugees mean?
"Quick! Clear out the city gate, open the city gate as soon as possible, and welcome Marquis Zhongwu into the city!"
Liu Gong said excitedly, although in terms of age, he is much older than Shen Tang, but Shen Tang is Liu Gong's idol!
"Why did Marquis Zhongwu suddenly come to our Tanzhou!"
While urging the soldiers to clear the blockage at the city gate, Liu Gong curiously asked Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi finally relaxed and smiled tiredly, "My father had written a letter before, saying that Marquis Zhongwu wanted to come and see me! After the Great War between Song and Jin Dynasties, Marquis Zhongwu resigned and traveled south. Counting the time, He must be back!"
"Fortunately, Marquis Zhongwu arrived in time. Otherwise, it would be a small matter of life and death for you and me, but this Tanzhou City would probably be in ruins!"
"Crunch!"
The city gate finally opened, Liu Gong and Zhang Shi adjusted their robes, and then hurried out of the city gate.
"Liu Gong, the magistrate of Tanzhou, is under official command, but I don't know where Marquis Zhongwu is!"
After leaving the city gate, Liu Gong shouted to the knight outside the city gate.
Then, I saw more than a hundred knights moving forward not far away. After a while, these knights came closer. The leading man took off the black mask on his face, revealing a heroic face!
When Liu Gong and Liu Gong met, their eyes immediately lit up. Although they had never met Shen Tang face to face, they had seen the portrait of Shen Tang sent by the court.
"Liu Gong, the governor of Tanzhou, pays homage to Marquis Zhongwu!"
"Join the army Zhang Shi and pay homage to Marquis Zhongwu!"
Shen Tang turned over and dismounted, then moved towards Liu Gong with his hands slightly raised and said, "Liu Zhizhou doesn't need to be polite!"
Then, he turned towards Zhang Shi and bowed deeply, "Shen Tang, hello to my brother! I have long heard that Prime Minister Zhang mentioned my brother's elegance. When I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. It was obvious that Shen Tang's words and title gave him great face! Although Shen Tang's move was intentional, it was not without purpose! Zhang For him, Jun was both an elder and a close friend. As Zhang Jun's son, it was appropriate for him to call him brother.
"I don't dare to be called the Marquis of Zhongwu with such honorific title!"
Zhang Shi quickly returned the gift.
Shen Tang did not answer, but smiled and said, "Brother, you and I will talk later!"
Then, Shen Tang turned to Liu Gong again and said, "Liu Zhizhou, all these rebels have been escorted, and Liu Zhizhou still needs to handle the next matter.
However, even though they are rebels, most of them are deceived! Therefore, I think it is better to appease them and send them back to their place of origin!"
"The leader, Li Jin, has already been enthroned. It would be unsightly to kill more people!"
"I understand!"
Liu Gong immediately obeyed the order. He was not a person who was good at killing. Now that the leader of the bandits had been killed, the rest were just random people. As long as they were separated, there would be no hidden dangers.
Furthermore, the Yao people are also involved in this rebellion. If there are too many killings, it will not be good for local stability!
"Honored husband, you must not entertain the Lord well. Wait until I have settled the matters outside the city, and then have a drink with the Lord!"
Liu Gong turned around and ordered.
After saying that, he led the men and horses towards the rioters ahead.
"Marquis Zhongwu, what if we enter the city first?"
Zhang Shi said with a smile.
"Brother, you are well aware of the relationship between me and Prime Minister Zhang, so why should you and I be so polite?
Furthermore, this time I came to Tanzhou to visit my brother, and there are other things I need to ask my brother for help with!"
"In addition, I heard about the crisis in Tanzhou, so I led my troops here first. My wife Murong Yu is still waiting on the boat! I went to pick her up first, and then went into the city with my brother!"
"Should, should, then Marquis Zhongwu goes first, I'll wait here!"
Shen Tang said goodbye to Zhang Shi first, and then returned to where the boat was moored!
When they arrived at the shore, they saw Murong Yu looking from the deck of the boat. Seeing him coming, Murong Yu happily ran towards Chuanxia! Shen Tang hurriedly took two steps on his horse, then turned over and dismounted, and Murong ran over. Yu flew from the sampan and jumped directly into Shen Tang's arms.
"Brother-in-law, you are back! How are those rebels?
Is your brother-in-law injured?"
Shen Tang lowered his head and kissed her softly, and said softly, "Don't worry, madam, they are just rebels, how can they be my husband's opponent! Those rebels have been suppressed by my husband. Now, let's pack our luggage and disembark and enter Tanzhou City!"
After looking up and down, Murong Yu felt relieved when he saw that Shen Tang was fine! Then, he greeted the maid, and the maid packed up her belongings and hurriedly got off the boat.
By the time the group of people returned to the outside of Tanzhou City, the sky had already darkened! However, Zhang Shi was still leading people and waiting at the city gate with a torch.
Shen Tang asked Murong Yu to get off the carriage, and then introduced, "Madam, this is Zhang Shi. Although we met for the first time, we are brothers! Brother, this is my wife Murong Yu, who is accompanying me from Dali this time. Returning to the Song Dynasty and coming to Tanzhou made me nag my brother!"
Zhang Shi naturally didn't know the origin of Murong Yu, but he did praise the couple's harmony and the harmony between Luan and Feng, and then led a group of people towards Tanzhou City.
