Chapter 280 Who fills the border with famous generals
The poems came out of the river and spread all over the world, with a smooth and long rhyme.
Hejian Prefecture was originally the birthplace of the Book of Songs. In later generations, it became famous for its donkey meat burning.
On the official road, the cold wind was blowing, and there were very few pedestrians passing by. It was not the farming season, but there were occasionally a few passers-by, who were also businessmen on their way.
Although the land of Youyan only occupies a small part of the Khitan territory, it provides most of the tax revenue for the entire Khitan and supports this huge empire.
Therefore, the Khitan deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in Youyan, and the city of Yanjing deserved to be called the hero of the world. As a result, Hejian Mansion, which was close to Youyan, was often harassed by the Khitan troops and horses stationed there. The Han people called it the Valley of Grass.
When Zongze's chariot and horses first entered the river, several riders came up in the air and shouted at the group of people, "Who is Zongze, the prefect of Hejian?"
Although Zongze has been serving as the county magistrate for decades, he is a serious Jinshi. He has never been shouted at by military men. He coldly snorted: "Who are you?"
"The Shengjie Army is stationed here. The Tongzhi Envoy invites you to come and discuss something."
Tong Guan's people? Zongze thought secretly in his heart. He knew Tong Guan was looking for him, but he didn't expect that this guy would come so quickly. He had stopped him before he even took office.
"Lead the way." Zongze flicked his sleeves and said with a smile.
Sitting in a stone pavilion on the roadside was a tall, middle-aged man with a dozen beards under his chin and wearing ordinary blue-gray cloth. Zongze knew it was Tong Guan at a glance.
"Xiaoguan Zongze, I have seen the Tongzhi envoy."
Tong Guan chuckled, without any official authority commanded by his arrogance, and stretched out his hand and said: "Prefect Zong, come, please take a seat. The wind and cold in the north are not as cold as those in Bianliang. Prefect Zong must have suffered a lot along the way."
Zongze chuckled lightly and said: "Xiaguan's body has always been strong and strong. This early winter north wind is nothing."
"That's right, the Zongzhifu has the support of noble people in the court, so it is natural that it will not be affected by wind or rain."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Zongze had no intention of intervening in these top-level battles in the court and did not bother to say more: "Zongze is a Song official and was admitted by Emperor Zhezong Enke, so he is Zongze's nobleman."
Speaking of which, Zongze's resume is really good. He was a Jinshi who was a serious singer in the Golden Palace.
During the imperial examination at the Daqing Palace, I ignored the word limit and wrote more than ten thousand words to elaborate on the current shortcomings.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't follow the rules, and it's a trivial matter to exceed the word limit, but he, a Jinshi who had not joined the job, dared to criticize the prime minister at the time.
He also criticized the emperor for believing Wu Chuhou's frame-up and expelling Cai Que, shouting, "The disaster of cronyism begins from here."
We don't know when the cronyism started. We only know that the examiner was afraid of the emperor's accusation, so he was placed in the "lowest subject" and was given "the same background as a Jinshi".
From then on, he held the position of county magistrate for decades and never received any promotion.
"Hejian has been repeatedly invaded by the Khitan, but there are no imperial troops dispatched to protect the people. The gentry here have private soldiers. The Zongzhifu must think twice before acting when encountering problems. Our victorious army is not far from here. If there is a solution
If you can't get rid of anything, you can come to X's big tent."
"Children's control has become more serious."
Of course, such a strong-willed person is not afraid of Tong Guan's threats. His eyes are slightly lowered and his tone does not reveal much respect.
Tong Guan was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "That's it. I still have military duties, so I won't waste the time of the prefect. This land between the rivers is no better than the Central Plains, and the prefect of Zong can take care of himself."
Tong Guan stood up, and the soldiers of the victorious army brought him war horses, and led the crowd away in the dust.
A young man with a heroic appearance stood behind Tong Guan, clasping his fists and saying: "Father, this guy is so ignorant of promotion. If he is stuck in this position in Hejian, won't he ruin the mission of his adoptive father?"
These young men were all the nephews of veterans who died in the Northwest War. After being adopted by Tong Guan, they formed his own private army. There were no less than ten thousand people in total, and they were loyal to Tong Guan.
"It doesn't matter. Although this person is the prefect of Hejian, the situation in Hejian cannot be controlled by a pedantic scholar. There are countless militiamen and private soldiers here. In order to resist the Khitan, the local powerful have considerable troops.
How can he come to this Hejian Mansion with a big turban?"
In the pavilion in the distance, Zongze, who had "nothing to do", looked at the dust in the distance, his gaze as firm as iron——
Bianliang Chunfeng Alley is a first-class place.
There are countless shops, countless restaurants, countless brothels, teahouses, incense shops, hookups, pharmacies, hawk shops, boot shops, horse shops, wine shops, and tile markets, to name a few.
Among them, Zhaixinglou is the most famous, especially because it produced the famous Li Shishi.
In the elegant rooms of Zhaixing Tower, banquets are prepared, and delicacies of land and water are dazzling.
Yang Lin held a banquet here to entertain Gao Bing and Wang Zhen from the imperial army, and thanked them for helping him seize his wife.
Before the guests arrived, Gao Bing and Wang Zhen had already arrived in advance, and Dala La sat aside.
Wang Zhen didn't often come to a place like this. He blushed when he smelled the permeating fragrance of makeup and powder: "Brother Gao San, we have done so much for the young master, and we bothered him to host the banquet himself. Isn't it a bit too much?"
There was an earth dragon burning in the pavilion. Gao Bian took off his cloak and said nonchalantly: "You are taking advantage of me. What is the relationship between me and Shaozai? It is a fateful friendship, you know that, right?"
Wang Zhen said angrily: "I know, I beat you so hard in the school field that you didn't get out of bed for a month. Everyone in Bianliang, Tokyo, knows this."
Gao Bing's face turned red, and he laughed and cursed: "That's called not knowing each other without fighting. Later, I followed the young master to pacify Jiangnan La. Who is Fang La? He is a traitor who has never appeared in a hundred years, and horns have grown out of his head.
.
If I had not joined forces with Shaozai, it would have been impossible to extinguish this thief if only one person was missing."
Wang Zhen was too lazy to answer him. After a while, the door was pushed open, and Yang Lin lazily came in, followed by Lu Qian with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Sit down." Seeing both of them standing up, Yang Lin consciously came to the top. After sitting down, he pressed his hands and said with a smile: "This time I am hosting a banquet to thank you. We are not limited to official positions, but we are
brother."
The food and wine had already been served. Gao Bian stood up, poured a glass of wine, brought it to Yang Lin and said: "Young Zai, the previous recruitment team was so spectacular that it caused a sensation in Bianliang City. It is indeed the work of the Young Zai. Next
The officer congratulates the young master on bringing home a beautiful woman."
Yang Lin drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Without the help of the Yameni, no matter how much the betrothal gift is, there will be nowhere to send it. Come here, I will give you a toast."
"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Gao Bianxiao smiled brightly and waved his hands to refuse.
Wang Chen looked on and was stunned. It turned out that the senior high school brother was not bragging. He and Yang Shaozai really had a good relationship.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Lin suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "The imperial court is recruiting soldiers and horses in the southwest, hoping to recruit thirty-six barbarians from Dali to form an army. Then in the northwest, based on the Qin Feng Army, it will recruit Qiang people.
, the Mongols and the Uighurs built a heavy cavalry force.”
Wang Zhen looked excited and couldn't help but interrupt: "Could we use troops against Tubo?"
Yang Lin glanced at him approvingly. He was indeed a famous general in the future. He could tell with just one point. Then he looked at Gao Yanei next to him.
"Ya Nei, I am going to recommend you to go and serve the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"
The high handle is like a cat whose tail is stepped on, hunched up and jumping up, Tubo? It is a barren land where it is difficult to even breathe.
"Young Master Mingjian, I have an old mother and it is inconvenient for me to travel far."
Yang Lin curled his lips and said, "There are so many servants in Taiwei Gao's house, so I don't need you to serve them. Besides, if you go out and make achievements, your parents will be very happy."
Gao Bing smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I have hemorrhoids and cannot wear heavy armor and ride horses. If I fall from the power of the Song Dynasty army, my sin will be serious. I'd better stay in Bianliang and be a commander of the imperial army."
He declined in every possible way, but Wang Zhen beside him couldn't sit still anymore. He suddenly stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Young Zai, I"
Gao Bian reacted immediately, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Hey, Shao Zai, Wang Zhen can go. He is skilled in bow and horse, and his arrows from two hundred steps away are perfect. His spear rarely encounters an opponent in the Forbidden Army."
This was what Yang Lin meant. No matter how good the seedlings were, they would be useless if they stayed in the Forbidden Army.
Historically, Wang Zhen also joined the Western Army and gradually grew into a general in his own right. Later, Tong Guan sold the entire West Beijing Road and escaped with his troops, leaving him as the deputy general manager of the capital and commanding the soldiers of the Xuanfu Division to guard Taiyuan.
Wang Zhen relied on these remnants of defeated generals to defend Taiyuan. Zong Han, who had been unable to attack for a long time, rushed to Henan to join the East Route Army. When he arrived in Zezhou, he received the news that Song Qinzong had ceded Taiyuan and other three towns, so he returned and accepted the surrender.
Wang Zhen refused to accept the cowardly imperial edict and refused to surrender. The Jin soldiers used "goose carts" to attack wildly. The defenders and civilians who were starving with chaff resisted with their lives for more than four months. Finally, they ran out of food and the Jin soldiers broke through the city gate.
Wang Zhen broke out of the encirclement with a portrait of Song Taizong on his back. After being seriously injured, he threw himself into the Fen River. The furious Jin soldiers trampled Wang Zhen's body into a pulp on horseback, and Taiyuan was also slaughtered by the Jin soldiers.
Now that Xixia is dead, Wang Zhen naturally cannot grow up on the battlefield in the northwest. Yang Lin intends to transfer him to the northwest to prepare for the crusade against Tubo.
The Jin Dynasty has already established its country in advance, and Yang Lin has slowly begun his own deployment. Some generals who have the opportunity to stand alone must go to the battlefield to experience real swords and guns.
If Huma had to wait until he went south to train his troops on the battlefield in the purgatory-like Shura battlefield, he would have to make many sacrifices in exchange for a few famous generals.
Wang Zhen, Zongze, Han Shizhong, Fang Qifu and other generals who he discovered or whose names were recorded in history books were slowly placed at the border by him, and he provided them with the most generous treatment possible.
Yang Lin secretly laughed in his heart. He just deliberately said that he wanted Gao Yanei to go, just to lead to this topic.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen stood up on his own. He was indeed the handsome Wang Zhen.
It is a pity that such a tiger general was also vilified by Shi Naian in the Water Margin as a traitor who stole military exploits and slandered the Lord.
"Wang, if you want to go, I am willing to recommend you in front of the officials. However, if you go to the northwest, you must rely on your true ability and gain fame."
"The last general will definitely live up to the recommendation of the Young Master!"——
