A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,239 Jingguan, Four Major Offices

Although Zhujingguan is unfamiliar to Guo Ang and his men, there is no doubt that this is an honor, an honor that belongs to warriors.

Strangling the enemy troops, sealing the wolf as a slave, erecting a monument and returning...

The two countries fought a war, with corpses everywhere, and the enemy's corpses were used to build the capital...

This is what warriors should do!

But this battle was fought by Shen An, and Guo Ang led his men to win a small victory.

He didn't have the nerve to get involved.

But his subordinates were impatient.

"At least we can help collect the corpses."

"that is."

"But we have no shame!"

"In this battle, we just got involved at the end. We were the ones picking up the slack, so we're embarrassed."

"..."

Shen An led people around the battlefield, and someone around him was reporting.

"Mr. Lang, we killed more than 2,800 enemies in this battle and captured more than 900 people..."

Some Liao troops in front scattered and escaped, but this was still a shocking victory.

Most of the five thousand Liao troops were wiped out. Yelu Hongji would not care about this loss, but the blow to his morale would make him vomit blood.

Xiao Guanyin...

Shen An thought of this woman inexplicably.

Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao people brought the Liao Shengzong to the south. Will Yelu Hongji bring Xiao Guanyin this time?

No way.

"In this battle, more than 1,300 war horses were captured and more than 2,000 dead horses..."

War horse!

Shen An cheered up and said, "Collect the war horses, we will make money again this time!"

War horses are money, and the Liao army's war horses are so majestic that even money can't buy them.

Suddenly there were shouts from around him, "We've made money!"

This is credit!

The soldiers were all beaming with joy, knowing that the rewards would be great when they returned, and they might even be promoted.

In life, promotion and wealth are the things that men desire most. This is what the so-called meritorious service is.

Guo Ang and his men came over in a hurry. He came closer and said, "Mr. Shen has many tricks in this battle. I witnessed the whole process and benefited a lot!"

Experience on the battlefield and talking on paper are two different things. After Guo Ang and others experienced it today, they will have confidence in the future. This is why Shen An did not drive them back.

The Song Dynasty lacked generals who had experienced battles, and this must be changed.

Shen An looked at him and suddenly asked: "Do you know what Jingguan does?"

Guo Ang was startled. He had already listened to it and thought it was very simple, "I know."

Shen An smiled and said: "My subordinates are tired, so please leave."

Guo Ang looked at the cavalry. They were smiling happily at the moment, and they didn't look tired at all.

People are in high spirits during happy events, so they will defeat the Liao army. At this time, everyone is full of energy!

But what does Shen An mean?

This is to allow him and his subordinates to go to Zhujing Temple to experience the glory together, and to go out and brag about it in the future.

——I fought against the Liao people on the border back then, and even built Jingguan.

Guo Ang was moved and said, "Thank you very much."

"It's just a small thing."

Shen An smiled and looked at Yun Danfengqing.

He seems to have more and more enemies, and his response is to expand his circle of friends.

Madan, come on and see who has more friends, you or me.

Thinking of the people he met in Daming Mansion, Shen An couldn't help but smile.

My friend circle is getting bigger and bigger!

"Mr. Lang, why don't you let the prisoners carry the body?"

Huang Chun was drinking. He had contributed a lot in this battle, and he had not slept all night, so he got the privilege of drinking. He immediately happily carried a wine bag around and showed off in various ways.

Shen An shook his head, "Most of those soldiers are fighting for the first time. They need to be exposed to more blood in order to become an army."

Huang Chun still wanted to mutter, but Yan Baoyu immediately pulled him out.

"No ministers have been sent during this war. Don't you understand what that means?"

Huang Chun was startled. He really had never thought about this issue. When Yan Baoyu mentioned it, he couldn't help but said happily: "Are you asking Lang Jun to lead the army alone?"

Yan Baoyu nodded, and Huang Chun took a sip of wine, "That man will definitely become the prime minister and minister in the future, sooner or later."

"But such a husband makes those people jealous, and he will be impeached."

Huang Chun was depressed for a moment, and Yan Baoyu said: "Some people in Zhending Mansion are saying that it is inappropriate for Lang Jun to lead the army, and sooner or later it will be a disaster."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Huang Chun was angry, "The leader of the Song Dynasty is a general who doesn't know the soldiers. Except for our Mangshan Army, when has Lang Jun not led an army like this? Can this cause harm? Who can harm it? Isn't this an open-eyed statement? Are you lying?"

Yan Baoyu nodded, "So Wang Langjun stayed in Zhending Mansion. He is probably arguing with those people at the moment."

"Stack it up!"

The view over there is gradually getting higher.

When the Jingguan was formed, the prisoners were kneeling on the ground, most of them howling.

A huge mountain of corpses stood there, and the sealing earth could not completely cover the limbs and heads.

But the soldiers of the Song Army looked at this huge mountain of corpses excitedly, saying that they had killed several Liao soldiers today.

"After this battle, they have become half-old pawns. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are not short of bravery. What is missing is only their war horses and their self-confidence. Let's build the war horses slowly, but our self-confidence needs to be raised immediately. How are you today?"

Feeling these excitements, Shen An was filled with joy.

Guo Ang was a pure warrior and had never thought so deeply. He said with admiration: "Now that the soldiers are in high spirits, even if the Liao army goes south, they will still dare to face the Liao army."

"This is what I have always wanted to do!" Shen An raised his head slightly and couldn't hold back his smile anymore.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

He couldn't help laughing, and the soldiers didn't know why, but they laughed too.

The laughter shook the seal and it fell, and a head emerged, with a pair of absent-minded eyes staring blankly at the north...

Shen An led the army to attack, Guo Ang led the army to attack, and the atmosphere in Zhending Mansion was a little tense.

"Wang Langjun."

Wang Hao walked slowly on the street until a village soldier came running up.

"where are they?"

The soldier said: "We are all drinking in the restaurant in front. I said you would not dare to come."

Wang Yu said calmly: "I will go now."

Behind him were several rural soldiers, which was the configuration assigned to him by Shen An.

All the way to the restaurant, the gentry in the city were a little panicked because of the Liao army's pressure on the border. The restaurant was a good place to relieve tension, and it was also convenient for getting news.

"... Then Shen An attacked with four thousand men, but the Liao army was overwhelming... Didn't those old people say in the early years that the Liao army's cavalry was overwhelming! We in the Song Dynasty could not do anything with hundreds of thousands of troops, if not After giving the money and making the alliance, I really can’t tell who owns the north now.”

"That's right. With four thousand people, I think he should stay in the city, so... with his famous general here, at least Zhending Mansion will not fall."

"What a famous general." A man with a short beard said disdainfully: "Don't you know? This kind of war should be led by the princes, but this time the officials sent him. What does this mean?"

Someone took a breath of cold air and said, "Is the official going to cultivate him?"

"That's right!" The short-bearded man said coldly: "He is only in his twenties, who can compare?"

Someone said: "Huo Qubing led the army into battle when he was more than ten years old. He is invincible! Peng Xin, you have gone too far."

The short-bearded man snorted coldly, "How many Huo Qubing are there? Does Shen An deserve to be comparable to the champion?"

That person was probably a supporter of Shen An, so he said not to be outdone: "But County Duke Shen was re-employed by the officials when he was more than ten years old. He has been attacking everywhere in the past few years. Although he is a little older than the champion, he also has a lot of military achievements. Right? Jiaozhi, Xixia, Liao...which time did he lose? In the last battle of Baozhou, I remember that you Peng Xin was planning to run away with your family property. Now do you dare to speak nonsense here? "

Peng Xin said coldly: "It's nonsense, who saw it?"

"That's right, who saw it."

"Gaochun, you are slandering!"

"..."

Obviously Peng Xin had more companions, and within a few seconds, Gao Chun and the others who were helping Shen An were defeated.

At this moment, Wang Yu slowly came up.

Peng Xin said seriously: "This person has the shadow of a young powerful official. Just think about Huo Guang back then... He was the younger brother of the champion... So, isn't there a thin line between being a famous general and being rebellious? And where is the root cause? It’s all about commanding the army... Shen An is commanding the army alone, this is not a good sign!"

This is a wonderful thing to say. First, take Huo Qubing out. Is he a famous general?

yes.

Then they brought out Huo Guang, Huo Qubing's half-brother.

Who is Huo Guang?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s trusted minister!

Such an important minister can make things happen, and he can decide with a single word who will be the emperor.

In the end, the whole Huo family was unlucky.

Does Shen An look like Huo Guang now?

This metaphor is interesting.

At least Wang Yu found it interesting.

"Ignorant and ignorant!"

He stood at the top of the stairs, looking sad.

There are so many fools in this world and so few smart people!

Peng Xin looked up, "Who are you?"

His companions stood up one after another and looked over with malicious intent.

Do strangers dare to be so rude?

"A certain king."

Several rural soldiers came up from behind Wang Yu, and instantly those people gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

Wang Anshi's son is here. Is he here to get gold plating?

A man said with a smile: "People say that there are four major yamen in Bianliang, the capital... The king at that time was one of them, Shen An, who was protected by Prime Minister Bao, was the second, Wang Anshi's son was the third, and finally Zhe My son Zhe Kexing... When I meet him today, his reputation is well-deserved."

The theory of the four major yamen of the Song Dynasty has been very popular in recent years.

Zhao Xu was naturally the most outstanding yamen in the Song Dynasty, as was Wang Yu, and Zhe Kexing was a disciple of the general, so that was fine, but what about Shen An?

Some people say that Shen An started from scratch and is not considered a yameni.

But some people say that without Bao Zheng's protection, Shen An would have been doomed long ago.

So Shen An was honored to become a yanei.

Four yamen shine in the capital, and now the one coming is Wang Anshi's son.

Wang Yu walked over, pressed the case with one hand, leaned over and said, "What were you doing when Shen An was born and died for the Song Dynasty?"

Everyone was startled, Peng Xin smiled and said: "I'm waiting to study..."

Wang Hao looked up at him and said, "Study...how old are you?"

"Twenty-eight." Peng Xin said proudly: "A certain person almost won the Jinshi in the last subject."

At twenty-eight, he was almost admitted to Jinshi. In the eyes of the officials in the court, he was very poor. But if you enlarge the population base and look at it from the perspective of the entire Song Dynasty, this is a genius.

"Twenty-eight..." Wang Yu smiled, "Twenty-eight, you are still hanging out, and you are still complacent because you almost won the Jinshi. But when Shen An was eighteen years old, he had already led the army to go on an expedition, and he had already killed the enemy. ...At the age of eighteen, he shocked Bianliang with his miscellaneous studies, and he was known as the master of miscellaneous studies. He taught countless students in Taixue, and those students became high school Jinshi... He already had such achievements at the age of eighteen, you are twenty-eight What are you still doing?"

Peng Xinqiang smiled and was about to speak when Wang Yu continued: "He was famous throughout the Song Dynasty at the age of eighteen, and officials called him a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. And you are still dependent on your parents for support at the age of twenty-eight. What are you doing?" What did Da Song do? Tell me!"
