Chapter 439 Unwilling to be mediocre!
Song Wensong returned to Kaner River overnight. Kaner River walked north for more than a hundred miles, and it was the Hulan Grassland of the Turks. The road was full of great flat rivers, and that area was the battlefield where Turkic cavalry showed their power.
Song Wensong led three thousand cavalrymen at the Hunting Camp, and five thousand infantrymen at the Xitun Army. The total force was 8,000 people guarding the dangerous land of the Yumuwan River.
The elm is bent, the river channel is narrow, the floating bridge can be crossed, retreat can be a dangerous key to defend, advance can be a fortress for attack, and advance can be one of the most important positions in the Kaner River strategy that stretches thousands of miles.
Song Wensong's central army tent was built beside the water, and he was placed on a floating bridge. He rode a horse out of his central army tent. He could cross the river with five breaths, and all other camp tents were located behind him.
In the central army tent, the lights were brightly lit, and the confidants of the army gathered together. Song Wensong sat in the position of the chief general, smiling at the corner of his mouth. The strategist on his left came over and said:
"Looking at the face of the third general, this trip to Liangzhou should have a lot of gains. I wonder if someone is right?"
"Haha!" Song Wensong laughed and said, "Master Xing guessed it well. Although he encountered a little danger this time when he went to Liangzhou, he also made a little fortune! I, eight thousand brothers, have difficulty overwintering, and now this sorrow can be solved!"
Song Wensong took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and placed them on the stone table in front of him, saying, "This is a hundred thousand taels of silver. Hehe, I have this huge sum of money, so I have no worries for the time being!
Someone wants to get stuck in my neck, haha, I will let my brothers eat and drink well, let's cross the river and ripped my arms on the Hulan grassland for a fight. I want to see what kind of faces those villains have!"
Song Wensong was in a very good mood. He came back overnight in Liangzhou with a lot of food and drinks. Thinking about the money he was covering himself, he was very happy.
It is no exaggeration to say that this amount of money is a timely help for him. If there is no such money, he will be forced to change defenses and even hand over the military power, because he will not be able to freeze 8,000 people to death and starve to death on the Gobi Desert.
Song Wensong was happy, and his subordinates and advisers cheered one by one. The tall and thin scholar was named Wu Liewen. He said, "Tsk, tsk, it's still rich in Jiangnan. A casual young man can bring out such a huge fortune. Young master, this person with the surname Lu is really good!"
Song Wensong shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, this person with the surname Lu is not simple. He gave me this money well, but from then on, I have to protect him in the northwest. There is no free lunch these days!"
Song Wen paused and said, "Besides, Lu Zheng has a great influence among the merchants in Jiangnan. He has a great industry in Jinling and makes money every day! Why can he make Shatian County so popular in a short period of time when he arrives in Shatian County? The reason is that he has a huge amount of wealth in his hand. Hehe... Today I ask everyone to come, first to tell everyone that our urgent needs have been solved, second to ask everyone to give me advice, what should we do next!"
The tent suddenly became quiet. Song Wensong was the most powerful general in the army, but he had a humble position in the Song family. The younger generation of the Song family was the least favored by the general.
Look at the total of these soldiers under his command, there are only more than 10,000 people. Now, the general and the prince want to raise the enemy, and Song Wensong's bravery is not much of a place to use. At this time, the family's intention to take Song Wensong's military power became increasingly obvious.
General Song Naifeng was not willing to make clear orders, but he allowed some people to use tricks to cut off Song Wensong's military pay and stabbed Song Wensong from behind. It is no exaggeration to say that Song Wensong is now in internal and external trouble. If he had no military power in his hands, the Song family in Liangzhou would still have his place to stand?
"What's wrong? Are you not talking anymore? Or do you still don't know what to say?" Song Wensong said.
Staff member Xing Zheng said: "General, there is only one way now, that is, to stabilize the bend of the Elm Wood, and then slowly plan it! Lu Zheng has a strong enemy in the tree in the capital, which is where we can make good use of it."
Wu Liewen said: "Yes, a small county magistrate, the general slaughtered it like a chicken. If the Lu surname wanted to save his life, why do you need 100,000 taels of silver? One thousand taels of silver is enough, but this person takes 100,000 taels of silver. General, this person is clearly trying to join forces with the general!"
Song Wensong was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Scholars, their intestines are all twists and turns! The one with the surname Lu is really amazing. From Liangzhou to Yushuwan, I was thinking about this person all the way.
This person is young, about 10 years old, but his mind and strategy are not inferior to me. The person who dares to compete with Dai Gao is indeed extraordinary! Well, who should the position of Yushu County Master be left for? Who can sit in this seat besides Lu Zheng?"
Xing Zheng said: "Three Master, the appointment of the county master requires the prince's handwriting. Third Master, you..."
Song Wensong sneered and interrupted him, "Master Xing is so smart and confused. I need to do this. The nobles in the capital are very powerful. Can he not be able to move a mere Lu Zheng?"
Wu Liewen stroked his hands and said, "The third young master is very clever. The noble man in the capital, please stare at Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng is out of reach in Shatian County, Liangzhou. Only by putting him under the eyes of the young master can you keep an eye on him. I think the noble man in the capital will not refuse if he makes such a request, haha..."
Wu Liewen laughed, Song Wensong stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Brothers, today I am calling you all here is very simple, I want to tell you one thing, there is no way out, I, Song Wensong, traverse the northwest, and never cowardly, and I was not cowardly in front of the Turkic son. Can those clowns who want to separate our brothers and make me, Song Wensong, surrender, make us cowardly?"
"We are willing to follow the general!" Everyone shouted, and Song Wensong said: "Okay, those who accomplish great things are not limited to the details. Today we have dried this glass of wine!
Come on! It's done!"
As the wine dried up, the atmosphere in the tent became warmer. Song Wensong walked to the brazier, staring at the crackling fire in the brazier, and the corners of his mouth bent in a curve: "Lu Zheng, it's a bit interesting, he is a talent! It's rare for young people with such courage and such strategies to be seen in my eyes."
After Song Wensong finished speaking, the splendor in his eyes gradually faded away, and his whole body returned to his usual fat and stupid appearance. At first glance, he was just a scrupulous warrior. How could he have thought that the third young master Song was burning with the fire of ambition in his heart.
He was unwilling to be in the current situation. He was determined to be the entire northwest. The northwest world would have the surname Song in the future. Song Wensong would become the king of the northwest!
...
The news about the Ministry of Personnel in the capital finally reached Longyou. Wang Wenyuan, the magistrate of Shatian County, was diligent and loyal to the emperor, and was well-managed. He was promoted to the position of Tongzhi of Liangzhou Prefecture, and his official title was as fifth rank.
The news reached Liangzhou, and Liangzhou was shocked. Wang Wenyuan became the hottest person for a while. Although the Tongzhi of Liangzhou Prefecture was a deputy, Liangzhou was one of the two major prefectures in Longyou and the base camp run by the Song family. Wang Wenyuan was a slave of the Song family and occupied unique conditions. With the support of the Song family, Wang Wenyuan was still worried that he would not have real power?
The key is that Wang Wenyuan is so old. Everyone thought that he would retire and return home after working in Shatian County for a few years. Unexpectedly, he had a prosperous career and a second spring in his career. It made everyone look at him with admiration. There are many people who pursue it!
At this time, no one knew who Wang Wenyuan was in the capital. The promotion of a psychic magistrate who was thousands of miles away from Longyou could not cause much storm.
People in the capital like to discuss Lu Zheng in the northwest. The scores on the Jingxi Palace in the northwest have reached six more ministries. The Jingxi Palace praised Lu Zheng's achievements in Shatian County in the scores, and asked the court to reward the merits and promote Lu Zheng.
This news has made many people in the capital talk about it and even go around and tell each other.
Dai Gao was powerful in the court and the country, and most of them were his disciples and former officials, but his political enemies always existed. More importantly, Dai Gao's reputation among the people can be said to be infamous. Everyone called Dai Gao a treacherous minister. If Dai Gao suffered a defeat and suffered losses, everyone would cheer and run around and tell each other, and soon the city would be filled with wind and rain.
Lu Zheng was not afraid of the powerful and offended the Dai family in the capital. Dai Gao repeatedly wanted to punish Lu Zheng. Later, Lu Zheng was forced to go to Longyou. At that time, many people gritted their teeth about Dai Gao's actions, and everyone was very unfavorable about Lu Zheng's future in the northwest.
However, what surprised everyone was that Lu Zheng was doing well in the northwest. Before, a note from Liangzhou Prefecture was presented, praising Lu Zheng's achievements in the county magistrate of Shatian County.
Now, even King Jingxi has issued a memorial to the court, demanding that the court promote Lu Zheng, which is enough to show that Lu Zheng is not only not bullied by the Dai Dian in the northwest, but has grown up healthily and slapped the Dai Dian in the face!
It has been less than a year since Lu Zheng went to the northwest. Generally, even if the Ministry of Personnel is vacant, officials will take the local office once every three years, and they will be promoted to the best.
Now, less than a year later, King Jingxi is about to be promoted to Lu Zheng. What does this mean? This shows that Lu Zheng has made a great fortune in the northwest, and the bigger the reputation Lu Zheng has made, the more embarrassed Dai Gao is.
For several days, the atmosphere in the court was very strange. Many people dared not ask Dai Xiang to criticize him. There was even a rumor in the cabinet that Dai Xiang had gone to Xiyuan. The emperor even made a joke about Lu Zheng. The emperor must have said that Dai Gao could not lose a lot of rice after stealing chickens. He originally wanted to shake off the prestige of the prime minister, but he did not expect that his prestige would not be slapped in the face.
It is also said that Dai Gao returned home from Xiyuan that day and was furious in Dai's mansion. Two servants from Dai's mansion were almost killed by sticks because they angered him. The situation at that time was really terrible...
News is flying all over the world, and Lu Zheng's reputation in the capital is even more resounding. Lu Zheng is the Jie Yuan from Jiangnan. He has not yet taken the imperial examination and is a bento official.
