Chapter 20 Vice Prime Minister Han Jiang (begging for recommendation and collection)
He gained a lot just now, and he transferred most of Wu Pei's hatred to the seed brother, not to mention, there is no need to worry about Wu Pei in the future.
As for Wu Pei and Chong Ge facing each other...... This is almost impossible, because the role played by Wu Chengjie in this matter is not bright at all, Wu Pei certainly hates Chong Ge to death, and wants to make a confession and find something to impeach Chong Ge to avenge his son, which is naturally feasible, but at the same time, he is also worried that Chong Ge will talk about the possible collusion between his son and the Western Thief and the secret agent.
Looking up at the gloomy sky, Zhang Bin sighed secretly, in this world of feudal magnates, it is impossible to rely on the law to protect themselves, so fate must be in their own hands, and in order to do this, they must have an official body, and the bigger the official, the better, and they must be civil officials.
Because, in this era, wealthy merchants and strong warriors are among the lowly, and even military generals are only slightly better.
……
……
Speaking of which, the whole city of Dashun has spent the past few days in a state of tension, joy and anxiety.
The nervousness is because Han Jiang, a high-ranking and powerful boss, is coming, which is already a deputy national leader in later generations, and he is a real power figure.
Even in later generations, the local government had to make all kinds of preparations months in advance to meet such a big leader, let alone in a more hierarchical feudal dynasty society.
As for the joy, it is naturally because everyone has made meritorious contributions and is waiting for the reward from the imperial court.
Zhang Bin, Wang Sunchen, and Liu Changzuo have certainly made great contributions, but the heads of more than 10,000 Western thieves were not cut off by the three of them, which is the common work of the soldiers of Dashun City.
Therefore, the most that the soldiers did in the past three days was to calculate with their fingers what kind of reward they could get for cutting off their heads.
Those who cut off a lot of heads, or whose heads are noble enough to be promoted, are planning what kind of official position they will promote.
And the vast majority of the soldiers who can't be promoted are thinking about how much reward or land they can get in exchange for their heads.
As for the anxiety, it is because every time after the war, there will be more or less injustice, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have no human rights in front of the court and civil officials, and their merit accounting and final rewards are precisely decided by these civilian officials who never go to the battlefield.
Speaking of which, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were on the battlefield and how many thieves they killed, they were afraid of civilian officials.
There is no way, as soon as the civil official moves his mouth, he may easily ruin his family and ruin his reputation, and this kind of damage is different from the open sword on the battlefield, it is a real hidden arrow, and it is impossible to guard against it! How can you not let the anxiety of the soldier worry.
As for the Western Thieves, now Dashun City is not worried, and even the soldiers who have not received the head of the Western Thieves before are deeply looking forward to the Western Thieves coming again.
But in fact, it is impossible for the Western Thieves to come to Dashun City in a short period of time, because everyone knows that the reinforcements from Yanyan and Huanqing are about to arrive, and the Western Thieves must have also gotten the news.
Sure enough, the scouts on the second day of the great victory outside the city came with information that the western thieves in the White Leopard City had moved and headed all the way to the east, and that direction was the border of Yanyan Road.
Just when Zhang Bin guessed that the western thieves were unwilling and wanted to take other routes to rob the Yanyan Road, another day later, from the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing, there were reports from the fast horse and the urgent army, the western thieves had plundered, the Song army on both roads was prepared, and the city was defended, but some villages and towns in the border pass were looted by the western thieves.
However, because of the loss of the guidance and echo of the western thieves on the side of Dashun City, the western thieves did not dare to go deeper, and the money and grain looted were limited, after all, the border villages and towns were not rich, and the deeper they went to the Great Song Dynasty, the more money and grain they had.
Speaking of which, these days, there are also some beheadings on the two side armies, and there are more than 1,000 beheadings in total, which is a big victory in the past, and it can even be reported to the capital, but now there are more than 10,000 beheadings on the side of Dashun City, this comparison is nothing.
……
……
Three days later, 20,000 reinforcements from Yanyan and Huanqing each arrived, and the total number of men and horses in Dashun City was not less than 60,000, and Dashun City was impregnable.
"It's a pity!" On the third day after the victory, the north wind was howling, and upstairs in Dashun City, Liu Changzuo was very sorry when he learned that the western thieves of White Leopard City had retreated, "If the western thieves come to attack Dashun City again, they will definitely be able to send us some more heads, why did they go to Yanyan Road?" ”
"It's crazy to want the head of the West Thief all these years?" When Zhang Bin heard this, he was speechless, "The thief knows that the reinforcements from Yan Yan and Huanqing have arrived, how can he still come to send people's heads?" ”
"Ziyu doesn't know." Wang Sunchen on the side said with a smile, "I am worried that his credit this time is not enough, when I just came from the camp, I was still thinking that this big function could not directly pass over the head of Yan and become the main general of Dashun City." ”
The three of them have experienced life and death together, and have made great contributions together, Zhang Bin invited the two to drink twice in the past two days, and the relationship quickly narrowed and became familiar with a lot, although Liu Changzuo has a worse temperament, but in fact he is also a bold person, as for wanting to be promoted to military merit, it is the mentality and strongest desire that all civil and military officials in this era have, but Liu Changzuo behaved too bluntly.
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time Tai Weili's merits are not small, most of them are to be promoted, after the vacancy of the position of the lord of Dashun City, if it is in the past, even if the commander has made great contributions, after all, there is General Yan above, but this time is different, because Han Xianggong came to Dashun City in person, obviously attaches great importance to this big victory, and then our military merits will also be more valued." ”
When Liu Changzuo heard this, he immediately laughed unabashedly and said: "Ziyu has no last resort, what he said must be right, I'll wait for the good news!" ”
"Senator Zhang." Just when everyone was standing on the city tower and laughing, a small official of the Taiwei Mansion hurriedly ran up, saluted the three of them, and said, "Senator Zhang, go to the Taiwei's mansion quickly, Han Xianggong wants to see you!" ”
Zhang Bin naturally didn't dare to delay, said a word to Liu Changzuo and Wang Sunchen, and hurriedly got off the city tower and rode to the mansion of Chong Ge.
"It's a pity." Watching Zhang Bin ride away, Liu Changzuo remembered something and said, "Ziyu is really a pity. ”
"It's a shame indeed?" Wang Sunchen couldn't help but shake his head, with an expression of pity for Zhang Bin, "Ziyu's father is the only Confucian in the northwest, and he is also from a Jinshi, why didn't Ziyu get admitted to Jinshi!" ”
"Yes! If Ziyu has the fame of Jinshi, the reward and official position for this great achievement will definitely be ten times better, and it may be possible to directly enter the center of the imperial court as an official. While Liu Changzuo felt sorry for Zhang Bin, there was also envy in his eyes.
