Chengdu Prefecture Road, which had been in panic for half a year, finally gradually returned to calm! The army under Shen Tang swept through the prefectures one by one, and some small forces that took advantage of the situation were directly wiped out. The local tribes also became well-behaved. stand up.
Moreover, under the attack of the army, every tribe was trembling with fear, fearing that one day they would wake up and face the army of the Song Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to evade Shen Tang's request to go to Lin'an to plead guilty to the emperor.
The soldiers and horses heading to Tubo territory are constantly receiving battle reports from Shen Tang! The border of Tubo was already messed up by the 10,000 Jin cavalry, and now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are coming again, and Tubo has no room to fight back. !
Some of the Tubo tribes on the border had no choice but to move to the plateau, while others had no choice but to surrender.
After more than half a month, several important places were directly occupied by the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
Although the disputes in the court were a little slow, the chief officials of the various states were gradually getting closer.
Some of them have already been settled. After receiving the transfer order, they have arrived at Chengdu Fulu and began to perform their duties.
Shen Tang naturally ignored the management of various state government offices.
However, these chief officials are not fools. Today, almost all of the Chengdu Mansion is under Shen Tang's soldiers. In addition, there is chaos after the war, and there are many places that need the help of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, these newly appointed chief officials will basically pay a visit to Shen Tang and obtain help from Shen Tang.
Shen Tang was stationed in Fucheng, Chengdu, and the scattered armies began to gradually gather together! The order from the court had not yet arrived, so all the soldiers and horses gathered outside Fucheng and were not easily transferred.
"My subordinates have met the commander-in-chief!"
Shen Tangzheng was alone in the big tent. In front of him was a sand table on the Tibetan border! In Malkang, many small flags had been planted in the Blackwater area, which represented the territory occupied by Teng Wu and others. Important place.
A personal guard entered the tent and saluted Shen Tang.
"What's the matter?"
This bodyguard was no stranger to Shen Tang. His name was Qian Xiuwen. He was originally a fierce soldier under Bian Xi. He was not only brave in battle, but also very witty, so he was transferred by Shen Tang to serve as his bodyguard.
Qian Xiuwen knelt down and said respectfully, "Commander, I have your secret message!"
With that said, he handed a letter to Shen Tang with both hands raised!
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Qian Xiuwen! Logically speaking, no matter who sent the secret message, it would not be possible for it to pass through the hands of this personal guard.
Then, the only possibility is that the guard has another identity, and this letter was sent by the force behind the guard.
Shen Tang did not speak in a hurry, nor did he rush to take the letter. Instead, he looked at the Qian Xiu Wen and thought about his origins!
The composition of the soldiers and horses under his command is extremely complex. There are several local armies alone, as well as Wang Huaichen's original soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses brought by Shao Hongyuan, and even people from other local armies.
Therefore, it is not unexpected that there are other people's spies in the army.
In fact, Shen Tang can be sure that the forces in the court, such as Zhang Jun, Shi Hao and even Zhu Zhuo, all have their own spies in the army! These people have been in the court for decades, and no one knows that they have How many secrets.
In addition to these people, there must be His Majesty the Emperor's cronies in the army.
Although Zhao Shen still trusted him, even this time in the battle of Chengdu Mansion, there was no supervising army.
However, Shen Tang would not believe it if there were no cronies of the emperor in this army.
So, which force does this person in front of me come from?
Suddenly, Shen Tang smiled slightly, "Are you from the Imperial City Department?"
Qian Xiuwen was slightly startled, and his half-kneeling figure lowered slightly, "Commander, this subordinate is indeed a soldier of the Imperial City!"
Shen Tang nodded and did not ask any more questions. It was not difficult to guess the identity of this person. Besides people from the Imperial City Department, who would send a secret message to him?
However, the origin of this secret letter was a bit strange. After all, normally, even if the emperor wanted to send him a secret letter, he would not do it this way.
He took the secret letter over and carefully scratched off the paint. Inside the letter was a small, square, folded piece of paper!
Seeing this, Shen Tang's face became more confused, but he could confirm that this letter was definitely not delivered by the emperor.
So, the origin of this letter can only be attributed to one person.
Opening the note, Shen Tang stared at it! There wasn't much writing on it, and it only took Shen Tang a moment to read it.
Then, he rubbed his hands gently, breaking the note into little bits of crumbs, and finally threw it into the sand tray.
"Stay back!"
Qian Xiuwen bowed and left, while Shen Tang's face showed a bit of amusement!
"The Prime Minister of Tubo?
It seems that someone in the court is restless again! Unfortunately, they made the wrong calculation!"
Shen Tang said to himself lightly, "Moreover, you have repeatedly done these little tricks behind my back. Do you really think that I, Shen Tang, is easy to bully?"
It seems that what Mr. Zhang Jun said is right. Sometimes, even if you want to be a loyal minister, you must at least become a powerful minister first.
Otherwise, there will always be villains playing tricks behind your back!"
"Since you are restless, let's have a fight and see who will surrender in the end!"
"Wang Hu?
Although I don’t know his purpose, I owe a favor this time! In the future, I might not be able to return one or two..."
After talking to himself for a moment, Shen Tang's expression returned to calm, "Here comes someone!"
"Go and ask Dawa Tata to come see me as soon as possible!"
"Repay the other person with the same method, this should be a very good scene!"
In Lin'an City, another two days passed slowly, and what excited Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was that his actions were indeed effective.
Although the Emperor of Song has not yet been summoned, there is definite news that tomorrow, the Minister of Rites will meet with their delegation in person!
The Minister of Rites is a real official in the court, and even has some decision-making power on matters in Chengdu. At this critical moment, the light finally appeared, and Lu Dongzan was naturally extremely happy.
However, next, he still needs to design carefully.
Since the previous actions are effective, it is natural to continue.
However, this matter must be carefully designed, otherwise, not only will the effect not be achieved, but it will be counterproductive!
Now Shen Tang has a large number of troops and is favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Once something goes wrong, not only will their goals not be achieved, but they will cause more disasters.
