Chapter 909: The Golden Emperor guesses and arrives in Yangzhou
Luqu borders Linzhao Road. If we capture Luqu, the Kingdom of Jin will have opened up this road!
"Not long ago, Shen Tang was appointed as the pacifier of Chengdu Fulu, right?"
Wan Yanyong asked.
"That's right! Because of his military exploits in the victory over Tubo, Shen Tang was appointed as the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Chengdu Prefecture! Moreover, several local army soldiers and horses in Chengdu Prefecture are all direct descendants of Shen Tang!"
Wanyanyong couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "It seems that the Song Dynasty is not satisfied with the current situation with Tubo. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Song Dynasty will continue to send troops to Tibet.
But, I don’t know what Shen Tang’s plan is this time.”
"This...should not happen!"
Someone raised an objection, "The Song Dynasty always valued culture and suppressed military force, and was always cautious about sending troops. How could it take the initiative to start a war with Tubo?"
I heard that even the current war in Tubo is carried out by Shen Tang in the name of our Jin Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty court is extremely opposed to this..."
"Haha..." Wanyanyong shook his head, "Zhao Shen is not Zhao Gou! Shen Tang is not Qin Huizhi! Zhao Shen has great ambitions, and Shen Tang is a talent that is rare to see in a thousand years. How can these two people put together? Can you be content with the status quo?
If the current strength of the Song State was not far inferior to that of the Jin State, it would not be unusual for them to go to war against the Jin State."
"As for the opposition above the court, it is even less important! With Zhao Shen's tacit approval and Shen Tang sitting in charge of Chengdu Fulu, even if they really send troops, what can they do to Shen Tang?
Furthermore, they may not be able to obtain conclusive evidence.
In this case, the best it can do is just a quarrel in the court! Don’t forget that Shen Tang doesn’t have supporters in the court.”
"So, I conclude that Shen Tang will definitely send troops to Tibet next year to seek greater results, but I don't know how much appetite Shen Tang and Zhao Shen have this time."
"What if Shen Tang is defeated in Tubo?"
someone asked.
Hearing this, Wan Yanyong's expression became much more solemn, and he said slowly, "Shen Tang... will not be defeated!"
"Although Shen Tang is young and has only been in the official position for a few years, the talents he has shown are frightening! I have investigated everything about Shen Tang in detail, and he is like a genius who jumped out of the stone. In just a few years, He went from being a country man to his current high position.
Moreover, from the Battle of Suizhou to the Battle of Sizhou, and then to the Battle of Xijing and the Battle of Chengdu, the opponents were our Jin Kingdom, Xia, Liao, and Tubo! He used his troops like a god and was invincible!"
"He is like Han Xin of the Han Dynasty and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty! He is a nightmare for any enemy on the battlefield! Therefore, if possible, I hope that our Jin Kingdom will never become an opponent with him on the battlefield.
Because, except for eradicating such a character through internal fighting, it is almost impossible for us to defeat him.
It's a pity that compared with Yue Pengju back then, he not only has higher military force and strategy than Yue Pengju, but also has higher wisdom and status."
"First of all, although he is a commander-in-chief who leads troops, he was born as a scholar and was a serious scholar of the Song Dynasty.
This also caused him to have fights with civil servants, but he would not be ostracized by all civil servants like Yue Fei.
Just like Shi Hao, the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he was a very firm supporter of Shen Tang!"
"Secondly, Zhao Shen is much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Gou!"
Speaking of this, Wanyanyong couldn't help but sigh, "The Central Plains is indeed a land of outstanding people. There has been no shortage of geniuses since ancient times! A weak court like the Song Dynasty could still give birth to figures like Shen Tang and Zhao Shen. It has to be said that the Great Song Dynasty has The fate of the Song Dynasty continues..."
"The order is sent to Wanyan Hao, Wanyan Yue is his daughter, and Shen Tang is his son-in-law! They are all members of the family, so naturally they should move around more! Shen Tang is not a person who acts on impulse, and he will not harm the country because of feelings, but he He is also a deeply caring person.
At least, when there is no conflict between Song and Jin, as long as the Jin country treats him sincerely, he will naturally get something in return..."
"In addition, the New Year's Day of the Song Dynasty is approaching, and the Ministry of Rites sent envoys to Lin'an to congratulate Zhao Shen on the New Year! And don't forget to give our General Fengguo a generous gift!"
Wan Yanyong grinned, "Although Zhao Shen will not doubt Shen Tang because of this kind of thing, it is an interesting thing to make him feel troubled..."...
Shen Tang, who was far away in Lizhou, naturally didn't know Wan Yanyong's evaluation of him. After a whole day of running fast, Shen Tang and his party finally arrived outside Yangzhou City at sunset.
There are many simple tents outside the city. On both sides of the city gate, more than a dozen large pots for porridge are lined up! Groups of government officials are patrolling around, and in some tents, people wearing official robes can be seen. Officials are coming in and out!
"It seems that the government in Yangzhou is much better than the government in Xingyuan Prefecture."
Looking at the orderly scene, Gao Erhe couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey!"
Chang Shun smiled disdainfully, "In my opinion, except for us adults, all the officials in the Song Dynasty are as black as crows in the world! If it weren't for us adults in Mianzhou, Xingyuan Mansion would ruthlessly punish and even go on a killing spree. , do you think the officials in this Yangzhou would be so well-behaved and honest?
How long has it been since the water damage lasted?
If it weren't for their inaction, we shouldn't have seen the scene before us, and these people would have been resettled and returned to their hometowns long ago."
"I guess they also heard the news that Your Majesty is coming, and are afraid of Your Majesty's integrity, so they are trying to make up for it!"
"That's true!"
Gao Erhe nodded, "Fortunately, this time there are adults inspecting various state capitals. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died in this flood! Speaking of which, adults should be the great benefactors of us people." .”
"You're right about that!"
Chang Shun responded in agreement, "Speaking of which, you guys are also very lucky. You should have been beheaded, but my lord has kindly brought you with me. I only hope that you will not disappoint my expectations and serve you well under my command." yes.
When you follow me, whether you are going to the battlefield or punishing corrupt officials, it will be a pleasant experience, and there won't be those embarrassing things that can ruin your life."
Hearing this, the sophomores in high school nodded solemnly! Shen Tang not only saved a group of fellow villagers, but also saved their lives.
From now on, if they cannot die for Shen Tang, how can they feel at ease?
The arrival of Shen Tang and his troops quickly attracted the attention of the petty officials and government officials outside the city gate.
Soon, many people wearing various official robes trotted towards Shen Tang and others.
"I'm going to be the governor of Yangzhou, Mao Xiangyang, to pay my respects to the imperial envoy!"
Shen Tang did not conceal his identity, but directly asked Chang Shun and others to raise the banner of his imperial envoy. Furthermore, who doesn't know that Shen Tang left the honor guard of the imperial envoy in Mianzhou and took a group of personal guards with him? Riding on horseback?
Therefore, it goes without saying that these people confirmed Shen Tang's identity.
