A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,249 Famous Minister of ZTE

Daming Mansion was the central city of the Song Dynasty in the north, and it was also Bianliang's last line of defense in the north.

Gao Yue first sent away the forwards led by Shen An, and then sent away the main force led by Fu Bi...

"Shen An is a famous general and he can't go wrong, but Fu Bi..."

In private, he expressed his concerns to those close to him: "What I fear most is that the wealthy prime minister will act on his own will. It is hard to say whether he will win or lose."

"It's just the prefect..." His staff said with a smile: "Think about Shen An's temperament."

"What a temper he has!"

Gao Yue thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the weirder his expression became, "His temperament is not that conventional. If the rich prime minister wants to do random things at the critical moment, I think Shen An will just knock him out."

The staff smiled and said: "The rich prime minister is a civil servant. Think about it... Prime Minister Bao, Prime Minister Han, and Prime Minister Zeng were all commanders in chief. What is a commander in chief? It means to control the army, but what about command? But they are very smart. To obey Shen An's arrangements is to be self-aware. If the rich prime minister is smart, he will naturally follow the rules, so you don't need to worry."

Gao Yue shook his head, "That's true. But... the rich prime minister's temperament, he was famous for being outspoken back then. If he is that... of course he will be impeached."

"You...that's my husband!" The staff felt that their boss was a bit crazy, so he smiled and said: "You are doing well in Daming Mansion, there is no need to compete with him."

"This battle is related to the national destiny of the Song Dynasty. If he is defeated because of his richness, I will..." Gao Yue said seriously: "I will kill him!"

The staff member was shocked. When he looked carefully, he realized that Gao Yue was not joking. Think again about the restlessness of Damingfu officials in recent days. The staff know that they are looking forward to good news, but they are more worried about bad news.

This force is so powerful that Fu Bi may not be able to withstand it!

"Go and find out." Gao Yue had blisters in his mouth and felt very uncomfortable.

"Prefect, what's for dinner?" Someone came and asked at this time.

"Eat, eat, eat. What else can you eat if you lose?" Gao Yue licked the bubble angrily and said, "I won't eat anymore."

"oh."

Then the news spread to the kitchen, and everyone knew that the prefect was not happy and did not eat dinner.

The cook pointed to the large piece of mutton and said proudly: "The prefect won't eat it, so how about we make a jar of good wine?"

OK!

So the kitchen staff, plus a clerk, gathered around a small stove and ate Gao Yue's dinner.

“The mutton is so delicious!”

After eating, everyone packed up with satisfaction.

The city gate slowly closed, and suddenly someone shouted from the top of the city: "Someone is coming, don't close it, stop it!"

Several riders, one man and two horses, came galloping over, the small flags on their backs rustling in the wind.

As he approached, the sergeant at the city gate shouted, "Where did you come from? What's the matter?"

The cavalry did not slow down, and the first one shouted: "Great victory... Great victory in Tang County!"

"Get out of the way!"

The sergeant blocking the road was pulled to the side, and several cavalrymen rushed in.

"Don't block the sergeant reporting victory, otherwise you deserve to be killed."

Everyone thought for a while...then looked at each other, and gradually became overflowing with joy.

"A great victory?"

"Great victory!"

The cavalry slowed down in the city and roared with all their strength.

"Prime Minister Fu and Duke Shen County led an army to fight fiercely with the Liao Emperor's army in Tang County, and our army won!"

"Great victory..."

In the dusk, the people were standing on the edge. When they heard this, many people jumped up.

"We won! We actually won!"

"I heard that Emperor Liao was leading the army, and I was worried about losing, but he actually won?"

Some people cried with joy, "The Song Dynasty has won!"

There are many rumors this time, but both the official and the public agree on the same tune, that is, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji personally led an elite army to attack, and this was the decisive battle between Song and Liao.

The significance of this battle is completely different from that of the battle before the Chanyuan Alliance.

The Song Dynasty withstood that battle. Although they signed a covenant and had to pay Sui coins every year, they won a long-lasting peace.

And the same is true for this battle.

The Song Dynasty counterattacked in the first battle, and from then on the Song and Liao countries were truly side by side.

I'm not afraid of you anymore!

Gradually, those people ran towards the government office.

Gao Yue, who was suffering, heard the shouting and rushed out of the government office almost like flying, without any restraint.

Several cavalrymen rushed to the front of the government office, and someone helped them off their horses.

"Quick, change horses and get ready to eat!"

An experienced clerk in the government office went to make arrangements, and the sergeant shouted: "Who is the prefect..."

"Someone is."

Gao Yue stepped forward and said, "Speak clearly."

His heart rate began to skyrocket.

The cavalryman took a breath, took a sip of warm water, and said: "The Liao Emperor attacked Tang County at night. Our army was well prepared. Then in the early morning, our army went out of the city and fought a decisive battle with the Liao army... This battle lasted less than an hour, and the Liao army suffered casualties. It was so disastrous that the Liao Emperor finally retreated and retreated from the Song Dynasty that day..."

"This is...this is a great victory!"

Gao Yue, whose nerves had been tense all the time, couldn't help but burst into tears, "He actually defeated the army led by the Emperor of Liao... County Duke Shen... he is indeed worthy of being a famous general of the Song Dynasty!"

His staff were also excited, and the image of his former think tank was gone.

"Did you actually win? Magistrate, hurry up... and file a memorial!"

You were still complaining about Fu Bi just now. Now hurry up and write a memorial to say something nice for Fu Bi. This is a favor!

To be an official is to be a human being, isn't it?

The official journey is the journey, isn't it?

If we want to enter Beijing as soon as possible, we must hold on to the thighs of the prime ministers and ministers!

Gao Yue nodded, and the staff was happy and said: "I have some manuscripts here..."

This kind of article does not require much literary talent, so the staff can naturally do it for you, and Gao Yue can just copy it at the end.

"You're good."

Gao Yue said happily: "Go, hurry up."

It is best to let the courier who reported the victory bring it back to Beijing together, which will have the best effect.

The staff rushed in, while the sergeants reporting the victory outside were gobbling down the fat meat.

It's still cold along the way, so those who don't like fat meat won't be able to survive it.

Add fat to the flatbread, and pour it down with a bowl of warm water at the end.

"I'm coming."

The staff came with the memorial. Gao Yue took it and prepared to copy it, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it.

"You... are wrong!"

"Wrong?" The staff member looked confused, and Gao Yue sighed: "It's too late, it's too late, that's all, bring me a pen and paper."

The staff quickly brought paper and pen, and the sergeant over there was already on his horse.

"Prefecture, I'll take my leave."

Such good news related to national transportation cannot stop, they will gallop all the way to Bianliang.

"Wait a minute."

Gao Yue thought for a while and finally wrote a line of big characters.

"Shen An, a famous minister of Zhongxing in the Song Dynasty!"

He quickly sealed it and then handed it to the sergeant, "Please take it to the palace together. Thank you very much."

The sound of horse hooves faded away, and the staff said: "Prefect, shouldn't he be the prime minister?"

If we want to flatter Fu Bi, we should flatter Fu Bi! Shen An's flattery is of no use!

Gao Yue shook his head, "Shen An... is destined to become a famous official in the Song Dynasty from now on."

"There were many famous ministers in the Song Dynasty..." the staff could name dozens of them casually.

Gao Yue frowned and said: "Most of those are just bragging, what kind of famous ministers are they? I got enlightenment from Shen An last time, and I had an epiphany, and now I am very good at handling political affairs... From now on, I want to get closer to him."

The staff could not help but be stunned.

Of course he knows Gao Yue's great enlightenment, but he can just be grateful!

You actually...what does this mean?

It was almost flattering to ask the messenger to bring those words.

Shen An, a famous minister of Zhongxing in the Song Dynasty!

This is an endorsement for Shen An, and incidentally it is also a statement.

A certain Gao Yue and Shen An became friends from then on.

"Prefect..."

The staff member smiled bitterly and said, "That's so rash!"

You have to be careful when taking sides, but Gao Yue made his decision instantly.

"Once this battle is won, I tell you that the Song Dynasty will start to look north. Back then, when Shen An said he looked north to the country, countless people sneered, but what about today?"

Gao Yue said excitedly: "After this battle, the Song Dynasty will look at the country from the north!"

He looked up at the vast dusk and said: "What will this young man do in the future? He supports overseas trade and the New Deal... Someone has a premonition that in the coming years, the Song Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes, and Shen An, he will be an indispensable figure in these changes. For such a figure, if someone is not close to him, should he stand reserved and watch the excitement? "

"No!" Gao Yue said excitedly: "This Song Dynasty is constantly moving forward. I want to keep up, not stay where I am, nor become an opponent. I want to walk side by side with him, hahahaha!"

"crazy!"

The staff felt that it was best to get promoted steadily. What kind of new policies? Think of Fan Wenzheng back then. It was very dangerous!

"The army is definitely making a triumphant return. Tomorrow I will prepare provisions and fine wine. I will get drunk with Duke Shen before we retire!"

"yes."

"Where's so-and-so's dinner?"

There was silence in the kitchen for a while, and there was a dog gnawing on a sheep bone by the wall, and that was supposed to be Gao Yue's dinner...

"..."

The victorious sergeants changed horses but not men, and had very little rest time every day. When they rushed into Bianliang City, the greenness of the treetops was just right.

"Great victory!"

"Song and Liao fought in Tang County, and our army won a great victory!"

The cavalry stormed into the inner city, leaving a cheer behind.

"Wan Sheng!"

Every smile on his face was filled with confidence. Occasionally, a few outsiders saw him and couldn't help but murmur to themselves.

"Song people... Song people ten years ago didn't seem so confident, right?"

His companion nodded, "Ten years ago, the Song people were a little timid, but now they are different. Look at them, even the children are cheering, and even the women are laughing. This Song Dynasty has changed."

The inner city became more prosperous, news of good news came, and people stood on both sides of the street cheering.

The cavalry reporting the victory rushed over and arrived outside the imperial city.

"Great victory!"

The sergeant guarding the gate rushed forward, helped the messenger down one by one, verified his identity, and then ran inside.

"Good news!"

They were running and cheering, and the people from the Privy Council came out.

"Where's the great victory?"

"It's... it's Tang County. The rich prime minister and Shen County Duke led the army to defeat Yelu Hongji!"

boom!

In an instant, everyone in the Privy Council exploded.

"It's the rich prime minister!"

Fu Bi has led the main force to set off for a long time, and everyone is worried that once defeated, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net the Privy Council will be disgraced.

People from the political hall also came out, and Han Qi shouted: "Is this a great victory?"

The sergeant stopped and gasped: "Yes, more than 13,000 Liao troops died in the battle!"

Bao Zheng and others also came out. Everyone followed the messenger and asked questions.

Old Ouyang Xiu shouted dizzily: "Someone comes! Someone comes!"

But at this moment, everyone was so excited that no one paid attention to him. In the end, he had to find a waiter to help him and ran in.

Zhao Shu had already received the news and was waiting outside the palace.

The messenger saluted and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fu and the army led by Duke Shen County encountered an army led by Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty in Tang County seven days ago. The Liao army was all elite..."

"The Emperor of Liao personally led the army to attack at night. Our army has been on guard for a long time..."

"Okay!" Han Qi couldn't help shouting happily, but everyone frowned.
