A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Yunliang sat by the window calmly, looking outside from time to time.

This is the second floor of a restaurant on Yujie.

Sitting on the top and looking at the crowds of people below, Zhao Yunliang couldn't help but feel a little sad that all living things were just ants.

Zhao Yunbi sat on the other side and talked to Zhao Zongjiang.

"...I heard that the war in the southwest is going to be bad. Recently, the officials are mobilizing reinforcements and preparing to go to the southwest. People are panicking!"

Today it was Zhao Yunbi who took the initiative to treat us. Zhao Yunliang was not willing to come, but he finally came because of the news from Zhao Yunbi.

Zhao Zongjiang said in confusion: "But I didn't hear the news..."

Zhao Yunbi smiled slightly: "I got the news. The official had a nightmare the day before yesterday. He dreamed that Shen An was covered in blood..."

Zhao Yunliang turned his face, his eyes filled with joy: "Covered with blood? Look at the history books. Most of the emperor's nightmares will come true. Even if he is alive, he will probably have a hard time."

Don't laugh, I really believe this these days.

Zhao Yunbi raised his glass to invite him to drink. Zhao Yunliang drank it and said with satisfaction: "Shen An has made great contributions to this Taixue counterattack. Even if he can come back safely, he can't escape the blame. Okay!"

Zhao Yunbi said calmly: "I will tell you when I get the news, but it is not ambition. Then last time Shen An... let people set the county prince's palace on fire. What a shame and humiliation! If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I behave?"

Zhao Yunliang nodded. He also knew about that. He was very happy at the time and almost wanted to live a day without food to celebrate.

But there is no such thing as free food and wine, so he asked cautiously: "What do you want?"

Zhao Yunbi poured himself a glass of wine with a dark look: "If Shen An is defeated...you need to help me find the method of making fragrant dew."

He doesn't want secret incense, because secret incense also bears the important responsibility of paying tribute to incense and dew, which will trigger a backlash from the officials in the palace.

Zhao Zhen's kindness seemed all-encompassing, but Zhao Yunbi knew that there was one thing that was not within the scope of his kindness, and that was the throne.

Whoever dares to threaten his throne, no matter who it is, will not have an easy time.

Zhao Yunliang sneered in his heart and said: "It's easy to say, I like to live without grain, Zong Jiang is also indifferent to fame and fortune, but his money is enough."

Zhao Yunbi smiled, stood up and said, "That's very good. I'll take my leave."

He nodded slightly and left the room.

Someone closed the door behind him, and Zhao Yunbi's eyes narrowed slightly.

The corridor on the second floor was a little dark, and those drunken voices could be heard in my ears.

Zhao Yunbi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and glanced contemptuously inside, opened his mouth and said a few words silently, and then went downstairs.

If there was someone who knew lip reading, he would definitely be able to distinguish his words.

——Pretend to be stupid!

In the room, Zhao Yunliang said calmly: "This person is full of lies, what is the formula of fragrant dew... That is just an excuse. If something happens to Shen An, Zhang Baibian will immediately take action to control all the secret fragrance... Formula? Who? Dare to take it?"

Zhao Zongjiang raised his glass and took a sip, his face turned red, and he said jokingly: "Dad, he thinks we are fools!"

Zhao Yunliang sneered: "He is not a fool, everyone is a liar. In the end, it is just to see who is more stupid. Shen An..."

There was a look of confusion in his eyes, and he said: "This person is amazingly talented. There has never been such a genius in the Song Dynasty in recent years. It's a pity..."

He raised his glass and drank, feeling very sad.

Zhao Zongjiang also sighed: "It used to be good to have a rival, but now that he is gone, the child feels a little lonely..."

Zhao Yunliang nodded and said: "The days without opponents will be lonely...The emperor will be lonely, and then he will find his own opponents...Hey! Once Shen An goes..."

"Good news!"

There was a sound of horse hooves, followed by a panicked sound of dodging outside.

"Daddy..."

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way! This is the messenger of victory. He deserves to be killed!"

"Where did the good news come from?"

"He came in through the Suzaku Gate...from the south..."

Zhao Yunliang's body was shaken and he put his head out.

Three cavalrymen were galloping towards them, with small flags on their backs, which were blown by the wind.

All three of them were covered in dust, which showed that they had traveled a long distance.

This is the most prosperous street in the Song Dynasty. There are many pedestrians on both sides, and pairs of eyes are looking at the three riders.

The three of them looked gray, and one of them raised his head and shouted: "Good news... In the battle of Xipingzhou, our army defeated Jiaozhi..."

"Good news... In the battle of Xipingzhou, our army defeated Jiaozhi!"

What?

Zhao Yunliang's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Didn't that idiot Zhao Yunbi say something bad about Shen An?

Zhao Zongjiang's face turned pale, and he no longer looked as arrogant as before. He also lay beside the window and watched, and said harshly: "Dad, Zeng Gongliang doesn't understand battle formations, but Shen An is very strategic in Fuzhou." , since we have won a great victory...that old liar!"

Zhao Yunliang clutched his chest, breathing a little quickly, and said sadly: "Da Lang, I feel uncomfortable as a father. This time I cannot leave the seclusion until I have been fasted for three days."

Zhao Zongjiang also felt depressed. He took a sip of wine and said, "Dad, my child also wants to live without food."

Zhao Yunliang turned around and sat down, eating the food with big mouthfuls.

Zhao Zongjiang was not hungry, but he continued to eat and drink.

You will be very hungry after three days of fasting, so you need to eat more now. At least you will be able to survive today...

Zhao Yunliang thought of the initiator of all this and couldn't help but cursed: "That old liar!"

Zhao Zongjiang felt that his road to advancement was extremely difficult, and the biggest difficulty came from Shen An.

"Shen An is always against us... I wish he died in the southwest... and that old liar, that shameless old liar..."

Both father and son were feeling sad. The old liar they called was standing below, dumbfounded as they watched the three horses gallop away.

"The Song Dynasty wins!"

"Victory, hahahaha!"

"I, the Song Dynasty, are invincible!"

"Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

The sound got louder and came gradually.

The Song Dynasty has only had two wars recently, one was the Battle of Fuzhou, in which the Song Dynasty defeated the Xixia people.

The second time was the Southwest Battle, actually with Jiaozhi.

Just one Nong Zhigao made the Song Dynasty miserable. Now that it has been replaced by the more powerful Jiaozhi, what will happen to the Song Dynasty?

Great victory!

"It turned out to be a great victory, but I didn't see Bianliang sending reinforcements to the southwest!"

"There's a lot of miasma in the southwest, and it's hard to get reinforcements!"

"How did you win this? Is it a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general?"

"No matter how he won, he won anyway."

"Yes, we won. How long has it been since the Song Dynasty won? Last time we defeated the Xixia people, and this time we defeated the Cochin people. I feel happy in my heart..."

"Yes! In the past, we were either defeated here or there. Even Nong Zhigao could make the Song Dynasty helpless. Looking at it now, it is really touching."

"To congratulate the Great Song Dynasty, all small shops are offering 10% off today..."

"To congratulate the Great Song Dynasty, anyone who comes in today will be given a bowl of broth..."

"..."

…

The guards guarding the gate of the imperial city had already caught the messenger reporting the victory, and were carrying him all the way inside.

"Good news... our army has a great victory over Jiaozhi..."

The people from the Privy Council came out, and Ouyang Xiu was helped out. He blinked and asked, "But it's a big victory?"

The messenger's face was full of pride and he shouted: "A great victory! Our army has won a great victory!"

"Ancestors bless you!"

Ouyang Xiu asked again: "How is Shen An?"

The dream of the official family was so pervasive that Ouyang Xiu also kept thinking about it.

If something happens to Shen An, Bao Heizi will definitely go crazy...

There was also Wang Anshi. Although he couldn't tell it on normal days, he directly contradicted Han Qi that day.

And Zhao Yunrang...that old guy will also get mad, and the official family will probably have a headache by then.

He thought of himself last.

If something happens to Shen An, I...

He was very sad, that's what happens when you get older, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

The face of the messenger was full of admiration: "Shen Daizhao personally charged into the battle twice, commanding Ruoding..."

"good!"

Ouyang Xiu cheered loudly. The next door neighbor of the Privy Council was the Political Affairs Hall. Han Qi was in the palace, and the officials also cheered.

The messenger finally said: "Under the inspiration of Shen Daizhao, Mr. Zeng personally led the civil servants to charge forward, and Mr. Zeng killed one person with his own hands..."

puff!

Ouyang Xiu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and the officials around him were dumbfounded.

"Walk!"

The speaker of the Privy Council has now been notified, and it's time to go to the palace to report the victory.

Ouyang Xiu shouted: "Wait a minute, old man!"

The old man had bad eyesight, so he just held up the corner of his robe and trotted along.

Someone from the Privy Council immediately followed and protected him all the way.

The rest of the people were in a daze.

How did Shen An do it? !

As a Hanlin official, he actually seized the command right on the battlefield, and then personally led his troops into the battle, twice. In the end, even Zeng Gongliang was infected and went into battle to kill the enemy in person...

This is really awesome!

But what happened to Zeng Gongliang?

The dignified Prime Minister actually went into battle to kill the enemy. Are you kidding me? !

"Will the official... go crazy?"

Zhao Zhen is not crazy and is discussing things with Han Qi.

"... The southwest side makes me uneasy after all, so I'd better send some reinforcements. The cavalry should be faster, and five thousand should be sent... If something goes wrong, just hold on tight and then... fight again! Deal with Li Rizun..."

Han Qi frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it's difficult to use troops in Jiaozhi. I think it's better to stay stable."

When Shenzong invaded Jiaozhi and massacred the city, Shenzong sent a large army to conquer, and it was indeed a great victory. However, the acclimatization led to serious attrition, and finally had to withdraw.

Therefore, Han Qi's suggestion is neither empty talk nor cowardice.

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then send the cavalry first, and go quickly!"

Han Qi hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said: "I accept your order."

The officials are probably still worried, so let's go there.

It's just that the consumption of five thousand cavalry back and forth is not small, and the horses will be damaged due to the long journey, which is a headache.

Han Qi resigned, Zhao Zhen watched him go out, and then sighed: "The national situation is difficult, but there is nothing we can do..."

He stood up and was about to go back. Chen Zhongheng went over to help him and said, "Official, the report hasn't come yet. Maybe it will be good news."

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "The people of Jiaozhi are difficult to deal with! It would be easier if they were natives, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I believe Zeng Gongliang and Shen An can win, but those are people of Jiaozhi! They have been coveting the southwest of the Song Dynasty. This frequent border crossing is clearly preparation for invasion..."

There was a rush of footsteps, and Zhao Zhen looked and saw that it was Han Qi.

Han Qi's face looked a little strange, whether it was excitement or disbelief, and he was panting heavily because of his gradual obesity.

Zhao Zhen thought he had forgotten something, so he smiled and said, "But is there anything else?"

Han Qi opened his mouth and was about to speak when a shout came from outside: "Good news..."

Han Qi lowered his head and said: "Guan family, good news from the southwest."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, his body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Quick, come in, talk, talk..."

The messenger was brought in and shouted: "Your Majesty, our army defeated the Cochin people in Xiping Prefecture, a great victory..."
