Chapter 251: Shen Tang returns home, chaos in the Northland
The shopkeeper's words spread, surprising many people and breaking the hearts of many overconfident girls.
On the top floor of Baijin Building, the windows were opened, and two delicate and beautiful faces looked at the honor guard slowly walking on the imperial street! These were naturally Liu Xiangling and Shao Muyu! They did not go there Among the crowded crowd, they were waiting for the parade procession here after leaving Shen Tang in the early morning.
Several little maids shouted and looked down, seeing that their uncle had become the number one scholar, and they were extremely honored.
"Sister, what you said was right. Our husband is indeed the best husband in the world." Shao Muyu gently held Liu Xiangling's hand, but his eyes fell on Shen Tang.
This mysterious man made her fall in love with him, and he was intoxicated with him. His literary talent and military skills were unparalleled. Even in business, he was enough to make her admire him. Who else in the world could compare with her husband?
Liu Xiangling's heart was also filled with ups and downs. In her eyes, how could her husband not be mysterious and alluring? The family was broken and she fell into the abyss. However, God had mercy and allowed her to meet such a husband. Originally, she only thought that her husband was a rough country man, or better than ordinary people. However, now, Liu Xiangling suddenly realized that she could no longer see through her husband.
Occasionally, Liu Xiangling would be a little confused. She even wanted to ask. However, she kept it in her heart. Her husband's deep love for her was never false, so what else mattered?
Being able to meet such a husband should be the greatest compensation and gift from God to me...
After patrolling the streets, the huge team turned to Qianhumen Street and headed straight for Qionglin Garden. The food and wine given by the emperor had been prepared, and a group of courtiers were already waiting here.
Although it was a Qionglin banquet, it was naturally not just about eating. Everyone was a scholar, so naturally they wanted to do some high-end things such as composing lyrics and poems. At the end, Emperor Zhao Shen also came in person, and the scene was naturally It was a bit lively again.
By the time the Qionglin Banquet was over, it was already pitch black.
The emperor and the ministers had already retreated, and the students were all drunk, so naturally there were people to see them off.
A group of attendants sent Shen Tang home with a guard of honor. Now Shen Tang does not have his own official position, so within three days, these attendants followed Yexiao.
Although it was dark night, the lights in Shen's mansion were still bright, and everyone was waiting for Shen Tang's return.
Before the honor guard arrived at the door, the door opened in the middle, and then Liu Xiangling and Shao Muyu came out to greet them with everyone in the house.
"Congratulations, husband, for winning the top prize!"
"Congratulations, sir..."
Shen Tang stepped forward and supported the two girls on both sides, "Two ladies, my glory is your glory! What difference can we make between each other?"
While Qian Hong and others went to arrange for the attendants, Shen Tang followed the two girls into the hall! Several little girls asked Shen Tang a lot of questions.
Shen Tang hugged the two girls and answered with a smile.
It was not until noon that the words gradually fell. Others could celebrate by themselves, but Shen Tang still had to carve a monument on the second day, so he naturally needed to rest quickly...
Just when the whole place was in the midst of hilarity, Dongping Mansion in Shandong Province, in the far north, was in a mess.
A few days ago, Cheng Yuhu and Teng Wu followed Shen Tang's orders and rushed to Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture. After that, the nearly 20,000 troops and horses under their command were directly divided into ten groups, each with only more than a thousand people. Many. Then, they scattered towards the surrounding counties.
With just over a thousand men and horses, it would be impossible to stir up trouble in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom on normal days. However, at this time, the land of Shandong is extremely empty. Even in the county, there are mostly only a few hundred remnant soldiers left. Old pawn. Therefore, if these ten people take action, they will cause the two houses to be filled with smoke.
In fact, Panshui Town in Jinan Prefecture and Anning County in Dongping Prefecture were caught off guard and were directly attacked. All the Jin soldiers there were killed, and the county government offices were burned down.
For a time, everyone in the county was in danger, and every city closed its doors tightly, daring not to relax at all. However, even so, the county town, which had only a few hundred soldiers and not much preparation, faced several times the ferocity. The 'horse bandits' were still terrified, fearing that their county would be breached.
Most of the officials in these counties came from various ethnic groups in the North. As a result, letters asking for help were sent out continuously.
Each county represents the interests of a certain tribe, especially when so many counties are in danger, the tribal nobles naturally cannot sit still.
Therefore, the irritable situation faced by Heshi Liezhining appeared.
However, after several days of suffering, good news finally arrived. News has been sent back from the front line that General Hanu under He Shilie Zhining has returned with two thousand gold soldiers. And, within a very short period of time, they gathered together He captured many stragglers from the two prefectures, bringing the military strength under his command to nearly 10,000.
Hanu led his troops to attack in all directions, and as expected, he repelled several attacks by horse bandits on the county. But today, news came that Dong'a County of Dongping Prefecture was once again besieged by two to three thousand people, and the situation was critical. Just as it happened, Hanu's army was stationed in Huakou Town, north of Dong'a County, so Hanu immediately led his army and rushed directly to Dong'a County.
When Hanu's army arrived at Dong'a County, they saw a group of more than 2,000 stragglers attacking the county town. Hanu gave an order and directly ordered his army to charge.
The more than two thousand skirmishers were no match for Hanu's army. They collapsed without a fight. Hundreds of infantrymen fled in all directions, and more than a thousand cavalrymen also fled in panic.
Although Hanu drove away the rebels several times in the past few days, very few soldiers were actually killed. This time, how could he let go of this small group of rebels? He immediately ordered his army to pursue them. Especially the two thousand cavalry he brought back directly entangled the fleeing cavalry, preventing them from getting away.
After chasing for more than an hour, seeing that the Song army in front was extremely exhausted, Hanu in the rear sneered and directly ordered the army to charge, making sure to strangle this group of Song soldiers!
"General, our mountain is right in front of us. The terrain is extremely narrow, and those Song soldiers cannot escape!" A Qianhu man beside Hanu said with a laugh.
"Well, rush up and bury them directly in this mountain!" Hanu ordered.
Kill, kill, kill...
The Jin soldiers rushed forward, especially the two thousand cavalry at the head, who were only a hundred steps away from the defeated troops in front! Moreover, the terrain ahead was complicated, and the Song soldiers obviously slowed down.
