Chapter 644: Borrowing troops again and going in batches
"Royal Quan, make another decree! Confer the title of Mrs. Liu of Shen Tang and the Wan Yan family to the third rank lady! Reward them with fifty pieces of tribute silk and a hundred thousand yuan! And order them to control Lianli City on behalf of Shen Tang!"
One person attained the Tao and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven. This time, Zhao Shen once again awarded Liu Xiangling and also awarded Wanyan Yue.
Speaking of which, Wanyan Yue, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, would naturally look down on a third-grade lady. However, Shen Tang was only a third-grade lady, so of course they could not be granted imperial titles!
"Zhang Jun, immediately mobilize troops and horses to stand by. If necessary, we will send troops to Chengdu as soon as possible to help Shen Tang! Ma Shao, raise military pay, food and grass as quickly as possible! Our soldiers of the Song Dynasty fight for the country and must not Hungry! Last time, someone dared to embezzle Mo's military pay. This time, I will order the Imperial City Division to monitor secretly.
No matter who dares to be greedy, no matter how big or small, you can kill them first and then report them!"
"My lord, I obey!"
Zhang Jun and Ma Shao quickly accepted the order!
"Okay, everyone, please step aside!"
Zhao Shen said calmly.
Zhao Shen didn't bother to pay attention to Cui Min at all.
If he had some self-awareness, he would ask for help.
If you don't know what's good for you, Zhao Shen will never show mercy!
Everyone respectfully exited the hall, and Zhao Shen sat down tiredly, "Tang Shen, this time it's up to you.
If you come back victorious, I will definitely give you a big surprise!"
It is said that after Shen Tang received the news from Chengdu Prefecture, he was extremely anxious!
Shen Tang had already known about the plans of Lu Feng, Xin Qiji and others.
However, something unexpected happened now. It was obvious that Wang Huaixun should have taken action secretly.
Fortunately, according to the news, Xin Qiji, Bian Xi and others are only besieged now, and they still have some ability to protect themselves.
However, without rescue, their defeat would only be a matter of time.
Now Shen Tang is in Daming Mansion, nearly three thousand miles away from Chengdu Mansion.
If you want to rush there, it will take nearly ten days at the earliest.
Therefore, Shen Tang did not dare to delay at all.
Moreover, the Song army in Chengdu Prefecture now has insufficient troops. If there are not enough soldiers and horses, even if Shen Tang is a god, it will be difficult to help Bian Xi and others out of trouble.
After all, this time, I'm afraid we have to fight head-on.
Therefore, Shen Tang didn't think too much and found Wanyan Hao directly.
Although the Jin Kingdom has not officially taken back the troops and horses borrowed last time.
However, it would be unrealistic if Shen Tang directly took them away again.
Even if Heihan, Zhuo and others would not disobey Shen Tang's orders, it would still cause them great trouble.
Therefore, Shen Tang asked Wanyan Hao to write to the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yong on his behalf to allow him to borrow troops again.
Moreover, he must lead his troops to leave immediately, and he also needs Wanyan Hao to help him shoulder the responsibility.
Wanyan Hao was not enthusiastic about helping the Song Dynasty.
But this was his son-in-law's matter, so Wanyan Hao did not shirk it.
He did not have the right to order Hei Khan, Zhuo and others, but he wrote a handwritten letter to Shen Tang, in which he informed Hei Khan, Zhuo and others that he would go to Zhongdu to report the matter to His Majesty in person. Let them move troops with Shen Tang first.
If there is any trouble in the future, he will bear it! Now, the troops of Heihan, Zhuo and others are stationed in Kaifeng Mansion, Shen Tang can go there along the way, and Wanyan Hao also immediately raised a lot of food and grass, which can be regarded as a solution. Saved Shen Tang from a lot of trouble...
After Shen Tang and Wan Yan Hao discussed the matter, they used Wan Yan Hao's channel to deliver several other secret letters, and then rushed directly to Kaifeng Mansion with food and grass to meet Hei Khan, Zhuo and others.
The distance from Daming Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion was only five hundred miles, so Shen Tang rushed south all the way and arrived at the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion the next day!
With Wanyan Hao's personal guards following him, there was no trouble. Shen Tang went directly to where Heihan, Zhuo and others were stationed!
"General Shen?"
Seeing the arrival of Shen Tang, Heihan, Zhuo and Balumu were naturally extremely happy!
Entering the commander's tent, Shen Tang did not gossip, but said directly to the two of them, "You two, I will rush to Chengdu immediately, so I want to borrow troops again! I know this will also make you embarrassed, but , the war situation in Chengdu Prefecture is urgent, and I really do not have time to go to Zhongdu to meet His Majesty.
However, I have asked my father-in-law to go to Zhongdu and explain to Your Majesty that this is a letter written by his father-in-law. I hope that you can first allocate some troops and horses to follow me."
"Of course, if there is an order from His Majesty later and he does not agree to borrow troops, you can retreat at any time.
Moreover, no matter what troubles there are in the future, I, Shen Tang, will take full responsibility and will never cause any hindrance to you two!"
After hearing Shen Tang's words, Heihan Hezhuo and Balumu looked at each other, and then Heihan and Zhuo laughed and said, "General, why should we be polite between you and me?
Furthermore, the order we received is to follow Mr. Shen to pacify Chengdu Mansion. Up to now, there has been no new order from His Majesty.
Therefore, we are naturally at the mercy of the general.
However, if a large army is moving, it will naturally move slowly, so the best way is to march in batches!"
Heihan and Zhuo's words made Shen Tang sigh in relief, and he was also a little moved in his heart.
Although he has other arrangements, when the two armies are fighting, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is definitely a big killer! Moreover, no matter how familiar he is with them, he is still a member of the two countries.
If they did not agree to borrow troops, or had to wait for the court's order, Shen Tang would have nothing to say.
Now, they agreed to go with him without saying a word, which was a big risk.
However, words of gratitude now naturally have no meaning.
Therefore, Shen Tang just kept it in his heart. If they were in trouble in the future, Shen Tang would naturally help them at all costs.
"I have already considered this matter! We have a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses here! First allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses, one person and three horses, and only bring the food and grass needed on the road, and we will rush to Chengdu as quickly as possible Mansion! Allocate another 10,000 troops and horses, one person and two horses, and they will come later.
The remaining 30,000 troops can just go step by step.
After all, once we arrive in Chengdu, the war may start at any time, so while we are on our way, we must retain sufficient combat power."
Originally, Shen Tang borrowed 60,000 troops last time.
However, 10,000 soldiers and horses went to Tubo territory.
Before, Shen Tang returned to Lin'an, Heihan, Zhuo and others led their troops back to the Kingdom of Jin, but the 10,000 troops and horses were still in Tubo territory, but they were temporarily hidden.
"good!"
Hei Khan and Zhuo nodded, "I will lead my 10,000 troops to follow the general first, Balumu, and then you can arrange for other troops to join us!"
