Chapter 229: The war breaks out in the North and comes to the examination hall again
The cause of the matter is also very simple. Because there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Lingbi City, the required amount of food and grass is naturally a large amount. Therefore, basically every three to five, a large number of convoys will set off from Sizhou to transport food to Lingbi City.
Bi. And Jin Bing is naturally not stupid. Many rangers have already set their sights on this road, so every time they transport food, it is a small-scale battle.
However, before that, both sides were under restraint. Therefore, the losses suffered by both sides were within the acceptable range. However, this time, Zhang Jun made arrangements in advance for transporting grain. The huge
The grain transport convoy was not transporting grain but soldiers. When the Jin soldiers attacked, the concealment on the grain truck was lifted, and thousands of Song soldiers sprang out. Moreover, Lingbi had already received the news, and Jirong led
The tens of thousands of cavalry under his command directly cut the Jin soldiers' retreat.
The Song soldiers inside used grain carts as a barrier to shoot and kill the Jin soldiers, while the Ji Rong cavalry outside directly strangled the Jin soldiers. After a bloody battle, the Jin soldiers left behind three or four thousand corpses and fled in panic. This was after the previous battle was over.
, the battle in which the Jin soldiers suffered the greatest losses.
The coach of Jin Bing was naturally furious! He was here to kill Song Bing, not to give experience to Song Army. How could he tolerate such a defeat? Could he really be regarded as an embroidered pillow like Wulin Damu? Although he didn't dare
He said that he was the top general of the Jin Kingdom, but He Shi Liezhining was also a top figure in the North, okay? Moreover, his nephew He Shi Liehuo of the same clan had successfully captured Hong County before. If he just sat back and watched the failure, how could he?
Isn't it a shame?
Immediately, Heshi Liezhining ordered the three armies! Among them, Suzhou Army Commander Dadam led 40,000 troops, and the Chinese Army led by himself also marched south from Pizhou. And Suqian Jinbing Commander Hahanda
He led his troops to advance towards Hong County, and joined forces with the Heshi Liehuo Division to prepare to block the reinforcements of the Song Army from the direction of Sizhou!
His goal is very clear, that is to remove the nail of Lingbi first, and then he can march towards Sizhou with peace of mind! Moreover, there are nearly 100,000 Song soldiers in Lingbi. If he can capture Lingbi
, it was a huge shock to the Song Dynasty.
So, at the end of February, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides once again started a bloody battle around the dozens of miles around Lingbi...
As for Shen Tang, he didn’t know what happened in the north and the court. In fact, after Shi Hao resigned as prime minister, he also came to visit Shen Tang. However, he was directly blocked by the two women. Regardless of whether you are the former
Prime Minister or Prime Minister, if you want to influence my husband's exam, there are only two words: No.
For such a peaceful time, Shen Tang did not feel bored. In addition to browsing books, the most important thing for him was to integrate everything recorded in his mind. Whether it was poetry, etiquette, or the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, Shen Tang was familiar with it.
It's just that since he came to the Song Dynasty, Shen Tang didn't have much time and was busy most of the time. This month was just the time for him to sort out all the memories in his mind.
Nowadays, even if he does not rely on Wen Chao's ability, in terms of knowledge, Shen Tang is probably not inferior to those students.
For more than a month, apart from eating, resting, and occasionally wandering around the courtyard with his two daughters, Shen Tang spent most of his time in Fucui Pavilion preparing for the scientific examination. He enjoyed a rare leisure time.
And today is the day Shen Tang "comes out of seclusion". Because today he needs to go to Gongyuan to register his name, and the day after tomorrow is the day of scientific examination.
Early in the morning, after eating, he washed and dressed under Lian'er's care, Shen Tang left the house and headed in the direction of Lin'an Gongyuan! Lin'an Gongyuan is located south of Qianhu Street and east of Baihu Street. .It’s only a few miles away from Shen’s house.
Compared with the Suizhou Gongyuan, the Lin'an Gongyuan is obviously more regular and larger. The place of Yuhang has always been the pearl of the south of the Yangtze River, where Wenzong and talented people emerged in endlessly. The Gongyuan also went through several expansions and renovations until the Southern Song Dynasty temporarily settled in Lin'an. This Lin'an The Gongyuan covers an area of more than 300,000 square meters, with more than 20,000 dormitories. In addition, the surrounding ancillary buildings, all of which are scattered one after another, look very spectacular.
To the east of the Gongyuan is the Confucius Temple. At this time, the incense in the Confucius Temple is the most prosperous. Obviously, many people offer incense and pray for the ancestor, hoping that the ancestor will bless them and be inscribed on the gold medal. Although Shen Tang does not believe this, but Still under the urging of the two daughters, he entered the Confucius Temple first, solemnly burned a stick of incense, and then went to the Gongyuan to register his name.
Compared with the registration names when taking the interpretation test, the registration names this time are basically similar, and even slightly simpler.
Shen Tang handed the certificate issued by the Suizhou government to the Gongyuan clerk. After the clerk reviewed it, he entered Shen Tang's name on the roster, and then handed the examination card with the information to Shen Tang again. This name was It is declared over. Compared with the interpretation test, this major test does not require a guarantor, so the registration speed is extremely fast.
After registering his name, he had a rare free time, so Shen Tang accompanied the two girls to wander around the streets for a day, and did not return home until sunset. Needless to say, having sex with Liu Xiangling, the next day , Shen Tang did not enter Fucui Pavilion again, but spent a day relaxing in the garden with the two girls.
At night, Shen Tang went to bed early, but the two girls and several little girls were sleepless. Although the things needed for Shen Tang's scientific examination had already been prepared, Liu Xiangling and Shao Muyu still checked the data again. Only after confirming that it is correct can you rest assured.
As soon as Yinshi arrived, Shen Tang was woken up from his sleep by Lian'er. After briefly eating some food, he left the house and headed towards Gongyuan again, followed by several servants.
Although it was only Yinshi and the sky was pitch black, the entrance to Gongyuan was already bustling with people. There were soldiers guarding the huge square at the entrance of Gongyuan, and torches illuminated the square brightly. Students kept coming in a hurry. Merge into the crowd.
The Provincial Examination is basically similar to the Qujie Test. It is also held in three sessions, each lasting three days. Compared with the Qujie Test, the questions in the Provincial Examination are obviously more pragmatic. The first session is a major examination; the second session is Examination and classics; the third examination strategy theory.
When Shen Tang arrived at the gate of Gongyuan, thousands of people were already standing in the square. The provincial examination in the Song Dynasty was only one of nine, and among the students now, they didn't know which one would win the gold medal in the end.
The time has not yet come, and the gate of Gongyuan has not been opened. The students are waiting anxiously and expectantly for the arrival of the inspection officials.
Finally, when Mao hour came and the morning light was faint, the closed gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and a group of officials strolled out.
