Chapter 362 Entering Datong, Promoted to Lieutenant General
Chapter 362: Enter Datong and be promoted to deputy general
Although this was the first time I came to Datong Mansion, except for the mottled city walls and traces of war, there really wasn’t much else worth admiring. Moreover, Shen Tang’s attention was all on Wanyan Yue, and he had no energy. Pay attention to the others.
As soon as everyone arrived at the city gate, there were already defenders who would open the city gate to welcome them!
"Meet the general!"
A knight in black armor hurriedly came with his troops and saluted He Shiliezhining, "General, the tents in the city have been prepared, and the general's palace has also been prepared. General, please enter the city!"
Heshi Liezhining nodded, and then, a group of people filed into the city!
"General, the last general has prepared a banquet to welcome the general!"
"There's no need for Jie Feng. You can lead me to the commander's mansion first, then call all the others over and explain the situation to the general." Heshi Liezhining said calmly.
"I will obey your orders!"
The other soldiers naturally went directly to the barracks. He Shi Liezhining, Shen Tang, and Yi Ciduo each led some personal guards, following the black-armored general, and rushed towards the commander's mansion in the city. go.
Not long after, a huge mansion appeared in front of them. Everyone dismounted and entered the mansion.
This mansion occupies a very large area, with as many as five courtyards in the front and back, and there are also span courtyards in the east and west! There are dozens of houses scattered here and there.
"Shen Tang, you and Princess Yongqing will live in the East Cross Courtyard. You two also want to protect Shen Tang and Princess Yongqing, so you will take people to live in the West Cross Courtyard." Entering the mansion, Heshi Liezhining ordered road.
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly. Since Wanyan Yue's arrival, he found that He Shi Liezhining's attitude towards him had changed a lot. He didn't pay too much attention to it before, but now, he actually let him move in directly. This is obviously too much care for his mansion. Because, in the whole city, I am afraid this is the most comfortable place to live. If his attitude towards himself was based on his previous attitude, even if he directly let himself live in a military tent, it would not be a strange thing. .
Could it be because of Yue'er's identity? Shen Tang wondered in his mind.
"Princess Princess, you first take the guards to see if the room is satisfactory. Now that Shen Tang is here, whether he participates in the battle or not, he must at least understand the situation. At least, when you go back in the future, someone will not be clueless about the smell. In addition, Yi Ciduo, although you two are His Majesty's personal guards, you were also generals back then, so come together."
Wanyan Yue raised her head and looked at Shen Tang, only to see Shen Tang say softly: "Yue'er, you go back and decorate our room first, I will come back later."
Nodding, Wanyan Yue led her guards towards the east crossing courtyard. Shen Tang and others followed He Shi Liezhining and continued forward. After passing through several hanging flower gates, they entered In the main hall.
The main hall is several feet long. In the middle is a square wooden table with a densely marked map on it.
Shen Tang and others entered and waited for a while. The black-armored general walked in again. Behind him, there were more than a dozen armored commanders!
"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"
Everyone knelt down on one knee and prostrated themselves in front of He Shi Lie Zhining.
Shen Tang's eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, he was not familiar with the various military personnel of the Jin Kingdom. However, he also knew that these people in front of him should not be the tribes He Shi Liezhining was used to. However, Even so, the expressions they showed and the expressions in their eyes made Shen Tang feel that they had great respect for He Shi Liezhining. This was an extremely rare thing in the army.
However, this also shows that Heshi Liezhining's status and prestige in the Jin army are extremely shocking.
Originally, Shen Tang had a slight contempt for He Shi Liezhining. After all, although the two had never met, Shen Tang only used a little trick to make his army of hundreds of thousands return without success. Tang Ye did have reasons to be proud. But now that he thought about it, how could a general who was entrusted with an important task by the Golden Emperor and led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to fight against the Song Dynasty be an incompetent person?
Moreover, Shen Tang’s plan, firstly, benefited from the trump card in his hand! First, the army led by Cheng Yuhu and others directly raided the northeastern part of Shandong. Secondly, the Beiwei Army was a loophole-like existence, which made Wanyan Hao’s Not only did the attack have no effect, but it also put Daming Mansion in a situation where it was short of major generals. Moreover, the most important thing is that this time, the strength of the Song Dynasty itself cannot be underestimated.
Zhang Jun led an army of more than 300,000 men and gathered almost half of the Song Dynasty's troops in Chen Sizhou. This was the most critical reason for the victory.
Otherwise, in the face of absolute power, no matter how powerful Shen Tang is, he will never be able to stop hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers and cavalry.
What's more, if Shen Tang hadn't taken action, the army of Zhang Jun and others would have been suppressed by He Shilie Zhining! With the number of troops reduced by twice, they could suppress the Song Dynasty, even if the opponent had the advantage of cavalry. It is inseparable from the greatness of Heshi Liezhining. Therefore, Heshi Liezhining is definitely one of the top generals of the Jin Kingdom, and there is no doubt about it.
When everyone sat down, Heshi Liezhining said: "This person is Shen Tang! He is also my deputy general. Apart from me, his words are the main one. If anyone criticizes or refuses to accept it, Don’t blame me for being ruthless in law!”
The first thing he did was to establish an identity for Shen Tang. In this way, Shen Tang could be considered legitimate in the military.
Although the others were a little surprised, naturally no one refuted at this time, and they saluted Shen Tang. However, compared to when they faced He Shi Liezhining just now, they were obviously just coping.
Afterwards, everyone, led by the black-armored general, also reported their names and positions to He Shilie Zhining.
The black-armored general, named Hui Teku, was originally a captain of ten thousand men in the Northwest Road Recruitment Division. However, with the start of the war and the importance of Datong Mansion, he was sent to garrison here.
Originally, as one of the auxiliary capitals of the Jin Kingdom, Xijing should naturally have left-behind officials. Moreover, they were either royal princes or close associates of the emperor. Under the left-behind officials, there were also officials such as Tongzhi, left-behind affairs, deputy left-behind, and left-behind judges. The official position. This configuration is naturally far from being comparable to that of the imperial court, but it is much higher than that of all state capitals. Moreover, the companions who stay behind are at least third-rank officials, even above the imperial court. Top of the list.
However, it is not easy to choose the person who stays behind! The reason for this is because the power and strength represented by the post of staying behind are even the emperor's.
