Chapter 491: The Great Army Sets Out, Lin'an Waves
Chapter 491: The army sets off, Lin'an is in trouble
"good!"
Shen Tang nodded with satisfaction, "It's already late today. Let's take a day off and we'll set off tomorrow morning!"
"As you command!"
Because they were setting off tomorrow, although today's banquet was sumptuous, no one drank. He Shiliezhining and Shen Tang briefly discussed some of the situation in Chengdu Fulu, but they only scratched the surface.
Moreover, Heshi Liezhining was extremely satisfied that Balumu could follow Shen Tang this time.
Balumu is his personal guard and one of the people he likes the most. However, although he has grown a lot under his command over the years, he is still far from what Heshi Liezhining wants.
However, during the Battle of Xijing Road, Balumu only followed Shen Tang for about a month, but his growth was extremely obvious.
In addition, Shen Tang's sensitivity to the battlefield is indeed extraordinary. Even he himself has many disadvantages. Therefore, if he goes to the Song Dynasty this time and has Balumu follow Shen Tang, he will definitely be able to learn a lot. .
As for the fact that the Jin Emperor could agree to borrow troops from the Song Dynasty this time, He Shilie Zhining was very in agreement.
The current Jin Kingdom needs a stable border to develop its territory, and the neighboring country of the Song Dynasty is equally important.
If the Song Dynasty was occupied by the Tubo clan, it would not be a good thing for the Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, in Heshi Liezhining's view, fighting with Shen Tang was also a good opportunity for him to train his troops in the Jin Kingdom.
As for whether he can win, he still has a lot of confidence in Shen Tang.
Of course, the most important thing is that even if they are really defeated, even if all 60,000 soldiers are injured, it will not be a serious injury to the Jin Kingdom.
But once they win, the benefits gained will be enough to increase the national power of the Jin Kingdom again.
After the dinner, everyone went to rest separately.
At around nine o'clock the next day, Shen Tang had already woken up. Randomly, a group of people came out of the city, and 60,000 troops had already gathered outside the city under the orders of Hei Khan and Zhuo.
Shen Tang climbed up to the commander's platform and looked at the mighty 60,000 horses below, feeling excited for a moment.
Speaking of which, Shen Tang has participated in several battles, but this is the first time that he has been justified as the main general! Although the situation in Chengdu Fulu is indeed dangerous, Shen Tang has a lot of confidence that he can win this battle. war.
"See the Marshal!"
Sixty thousand soldiers and horses shouted and shouted in unison like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Shen Tang shouted loudly, "The generals will stand down, and the captains will order their men and horses and set off immediately!"
"As you command!"
"General, I'll be there soon!"
Shen Tang turned around and saluted He Shilie Zhining.
Heshi Liezhining nodded, "Okay, Shen Tang, we're waiting for you to come back from the victory. We won't come back until we're drunk!"
"Set off!"
Shen Tang got off the general platform and then got on his horse. Heihan Hezhuo and Balumu lined up on the left and right. The other captains of thousands and captains each led their officers and men, and followed Shen Tang as he galloped toward the southwest. Go away.
Taiyuan Prefecture is about two thousand miles away from Lintao Prefecture. Shen Tang and his party need to first go all the way southwest to Lintao Prefecture, and then turn due south, cross the border between Song and Jin Dynasties, and arrive at Xihe Prefecture, the northernmost part of Lizhou West Road .
This is also the place where Shen Tang and Zhang Jun agreed to meet their troops.
Just before Shen Tang and others set off for Lintao Road, Bian Xi and Xin Qiji from Sizhou had already received the imperial edict and immediately mobilized troops, totaling 70,000 troops, marching westward. Head towards Lizhou Road.
Speaking of which, traveling from Sizhou to Xihe Prefecture is within the borders of the Song Dynasty.
However, one is in the far east and the other is in the far west. The distance between the two places is more than three thousand miles, which is much farther than when Shen Tang led his golden soldiers across the border.
Fortunately, after Zhang Jun got the news, he set off as quickly as possible. Therefore, the arrival time of both parties should be relatively close...
But just as Shen Tang was leading the army, a wave of disturbance suddenly arose in Lin'an City of the Song Dynasty.
First, in Lin'an Taixue Academy, many students exposed many problems.
For example, someone once plagiarized a poem, or someone once bullied the people in the market.
In short, it could be as big as cheating in exams, bullying men and women, or as small as disheveled clothing or wrong words. Almost instantly, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lin'an City.
Lin'an Taixue was originally an extremely sacred place, but as this turmoil arose, Taixue became notorious on the streets! In the past, students of Taixue were respected all over Lin'an.
But now, whenever someone wearing student clothes goes out on the street, they will be pointed at by the people around them.
For a time, these students almost did not dare to appear in the street market at will.
However, this is just the beginning.
Not long after, the originally extremely stable grain prices in Lin'an more than doubled in a short period of time.
Although Lin'an is not a country of the Song Dynasty, it is a place where the Song Dynasty is located. Therefore, prices in Lin'an have always been relatively stable.
After all, if prices fluctuate too much, it will be a disaster for the people.
However, this storm happened too suddenly. Before anyone could react, the prices in all the grain stores had already gone up.
Lin'an Mansion naturally cannot stand idly by.
However, before Lin'an Mansion took action, the governor was secretly warned, and the matter was settled in Lin'an Mansion.
Fortunately, Liu Xiangling and the girls just wanted to teach these ignorant people a lesson. Although the price of food has doubled, for the people of Lin'an, they can still persevere as long as they grit their teeth. Moreover, it won't be long before the price of food will drop. will fall back.
Otherwise, this single move would be enough to drive these people into despair.
I have to say that once a woman holds a grudge against someone, congratulations, you will be in trouble!
Speaking of which, there are naturally many innocent people among these common people and students.
But, again, isn't Shen Tang innocent?
When they besieged and slandered Shen Tang, did they think that the person they were slandering was the benefactor who protected them?
Moreover, fortunately, Shen Tang had some means, and Zhang Jun and others were there to help. Otherwise, even though it would just be some rumors and slander from ignorant people and students, it would be enough to kill a person.
Inside the palace, Zhao Shen frowned slightly!
The matter in Chengdu Mansion Road finally had some support, but just a few days later, Lin'an City turned into a commotion, and until now, Lin'an Mansion has not found any cause and effect.
"His Majesty!"
Wang Quan quietly entered the hall, bowed and saluted Zhao Shen, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Secretary has raised Liu Wanghai to ask for an audience."
