Chapter 4: Autumn Comes and Twilight Is Cold (I)
The solution to the test in Qinzhou has just begun, and the results of the lock hall test have already been released.
Both the question and the scriptures are the first, and Han Gang's ranking is under Cai Xi's self-made cleverness, and he is the first to crown Aoshan. At the poster place of the eight-character wall of the Transshipment Division, Han Gang's name was hung high, and Murong Wu's name was attached to the last seat.
"Congratulations to Yukun."
"Rejoice and rejoice."
Han Gang and Murong Wu exchanged salutes. Han Gang has always been full of confidence, but Murong Wu has always been a little uneasy, especially after hearing how Han Gang answered. Seeing his appearance, it was difficult for Han Gang to have confidence in him. But now, the two people from the same door are on the list at the same time, and they are all overjoyed.
Among the people watching the list, some people disappeared, and some people smiled. Although the number of people who refer to the locked hall test is small, the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the candidates after the results are also like ordinary tributes.
"I wonder what Brother Siwen will do next?"
"The foolish brother must go back to the village first, and then set off the day after tomorrow...... I read the book for another month, and then I went to Beijing after the autumn. ”
“…… Sir's academy is near Brother Siwen's hometown! ”
Murong Wu nodded: "I should visit Mr. …… What about you, Yukun," he asked, "will you go back to Longxi first?" ”
"I definitely have to go back first, and I will leave the day after tomorrow" Han Gang said: "The junior brother and cousin are in Qinzhou as a general, and the people are still in the cage city." I thought I would see him after the exam, but I didn't expect to go to Beijing. ”
Murong Wu knew who Han Gang's cousin was. Back then, he helped deal with the case of Han Gang's cousin Feng Congyi's family property, and he had a meeting with Li Xin's father and son. At that time, Murong Wu didn't think Li Xin was anything special, but he was just very good. But after the battle of Deshun Army, he wouldn't say that.
"Inspect Li who kills seven generals with seven spears under the cage rod city, Yukun, your cousin is not simple!"
"Of course! The spear-throwing technique passed down by generations of the younger brother's mother and uncle's family is a must-have in the army. Han Gang smiled and pulled Murong Wu up, "Since my cousin has been transferred to Beijing, I won't talk about it." Brother Siwen, today we will go to Wanqing Tower to celebrate, and then we will go to Yazhong tomorrow to meet Cai Zhuan and Cai Yunju. ”
Murong Wu and Han Gang walked side by side. Behind them, an old merchant stared at their fading backs, his grim eyes far from them.
"The owner ......" shouted as if it was a reminder, which surprised the merchants.
He turned around, withdrew his fierce gaze, and became an honest businessman again. Facing the guy with a wooden look behind him, the merchant said: "The business is done, let's go back first!" ”
Ten days later.
In the Zichen Hall of Xingqing Mansion, the Liang brothers and sisters also had several important ministers of the Western Xia Kingdom, and Liang Yiburi's son Liang Yikui reported information from the secret agents sent abroad.
“…… The First World War in Hezhou was very costly. According to the detailed report, Qinzhou's regular liquidation is now only 30% of the normal year. From this point of view, the Song people will not make a move on Qinfeng Road in a year or two......"
"Who doesn't know this?!" The white eyebrows of the clan general, Ah Wu, raised an impatient angle, interrupting Liang Yiqi's nonsense, "Say something new!" ”
Wei Ming Ah Wu is Yuan Hao's nephew, who once followed his father Lang Yu and fought the world with Yuan Hao. After the Liang brothers and sisters came to power, they removed the position of the commander of the Langyu capital, and they were suppressed together with Ah Wu. But not long ago, that is, when Renduo Lingding unified the army invaded the south, he was dragged out to sit in the central court and serve as the commander of the army, and even had the title of county king.
But Ah Wu's identity is not as good as Liang Yikui's father as the prime minister of a country, not only interrupted the speech, but also did not save face at all, Liang Yikui was suddenly furious in his heart. But his father immediately coughed, causing him to hide his anger and obediently change to the latest intelligence report.
"Jing Sili died in the battle on Xihe Road a few days ago, and the Zhuzhai Fort of the Deshun Army was dilapidated under the attack of Renduo. In order to revive the strength of the Deshun army, Liu Changzuo may have to be transferred to the cage city...... I don't know about this, does the king know about it? ”
"What about Gangu City, who will take over?"
Liang Yiqi shook his head: "I haven't found this yet." ”
"Good skills!" Wei Ming Ah Wu snorted coldly and stopped talking, and Liang Yikui's face turned black.
"Is there any other news?" Ren Duo Ling Ding seemed to ease the atmosphere in the temple.
“…… It's an idle matter. It was Han Gang, who left his errand on Xihe Road and went to Qinzhou to take the exam as a tribute student. For next year's Jinshi exam, he will enter Beijing before the end of the year. If Han Gang wins the Jinshi, then the highest ranking people on Xihe Road, except for Miao Zhu, will most likely be replaced. ”
"Didn't Gao Zunyu still stay in Xihe? How could he go? Empress Dowager Liang asked.
"Gao Zunyu will definitely go." Hanchen Jingxun replied, "He is the hero who established the Xihe Road together with Wang Shao, but it is inconvenient to serve as the Xihe Navigator due to the status of military generals and relatives." But as long as he stays in Xihe, if there is a new envoy to take office, he will inevitably be vacated. If it was a tougher nobleman, then he and Gao Zunyu would definitely fight. In order to ensure the stability of Xihe Road, Gao Zunyu will soon be transferred, and Miao will take over his position. ”
"As long as Wang Shao doesn't come back, then you can sit back and relax." Liang Yiqi said with a smile.
Ren Duo Lingding's voice was cold: "If you only look at Wang Shao, I don't know how much suffering you will have to suffer in the future." To be able to recover the Hehuang Division, it is not only by Wang Shao alone. There are Gao Zunyu, Miao Zhu, and Han Gang, who just said that he was going to Kaifeng, Tokyo, to take the Jinshi exam! ”
Jing Xun nodded in agreement: "Han Gang is indeed not simple, he is only in his early twenties, and he is already a court official. If he wins the Jinshi this time, he will definitely be soaring. Ten years later, maybe there will be another Han Qi! ”
"Han Qi? ......" Ren Duo Ding glanced at his mouth, "If it's Han Qi, it's fine." ”
The monarchs of Western Xia have never looked down on the military exploits that once proclaimed Shaanxi, and relying on the military merits accumulated here, he became Han Zhigui of the Eastern Dynasty at a young age. Ren Fu, whom he selected, gave a big gift to Jingzong [Li Yuanhao], who had just been proclaimed emperor; The offensive strategy he presided over allowed the Iron Harrier to run rampant in Kansai. He can't even do a tinker, and Fan Zhongyan has to wipe his ass for him, this is Han Qi. 'Xia Zhu He once shrugged, Han Qi was not surprised. The poem inscribed by Taishi Zhang Yuan in the Boundary Temple is not just to vent the resentment of the palace test being dethroned.
"Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu went south to pursue Mu Zheng, and it was Han Gang who supported the overall situation of Xihe. And he is young, but he is very steady in his use of soldiers. Xizhou, Hezhou, several major battles, Wang Shao left him to guard the back road, and he led his troops to rush to kill. Han Gang has never been negligent at all, and he has made more credit than anyone else. In the battle of Lintao Fort, he led reinforcements to come, did not enter the city and set up a village outside the city, which was the reason why he failed to capture Lintao Fort. "Whether it is from his nephew or the information he hears through other channels, Ren Duo Ling Ding can determine the danger of Han Gang, "If he has a few more years of experience, it will be difficult for the country to find someone who can suppress him......"
"Then kill him! While the others are still in Shaanxi, find a few careful and bold people to assassinate him. ”
"Does it work? …… Regardless of whether it is successful or not, there is more than one Han Gang in the Song people?! ”
Ren Duo Ling Ding almost scolded Liang Yiqi for his confusion, "Have you heard of the name Wang Sunchen?" Archery skills are comparable to Liu Changzuo, and when he leads the army, he is even more brave and incomparable, and he is the first skilled general under Wang Shao's account. Have you ever heard of the name Chongpu? He set up an ambush in Luowu City and killed Wei Mingji. Has Li Xin ever heard of it? Under the cage city, his seven flying spears killed the chief and deputy commanders of seven iron harriers in a row, and rushed straight into the cage city, but I couldn't stop him! These Song generals are not even thirty years old! ”
Moreover, Wang Shao is only in his early forties, which is the right age. The same outstanding generals of about forty years ago, in the Kwanti Army of the Eastern Dynasty, grabbed one by one.
As soon as he thought of this, Ren Duo Ling Ding was like lying naked in the ice and snow, and the cold air was close to the bone marrow. He shook his head on the Zichen Hall and said angrily: "This is not a situation that can be reversed by assassinating one or two people!" The tide has changed, and it is no longer the same as it was twenty years ago. If you don't try to reverse it, it will be the catastrophe of the Great White High Country! ”
The young generation of talents in the Eastern Dynasty are frequent, and there are no official and military generals, which are not comparable to the tragic situation of the Manchu Dynasty when there was no civil and military force in the Eastern Dynasty a few decades ago. Han Gang, Wang Sunsin, Chong Pu, Li Xin
And when Ren Duo Ding looked at Daxia, there were few who could take advantage of it.
Forget about his nephew, he doesn't blame him for not being able to capture Lintao Fort, but if he doesn't retreat when it has been confirmed that he can't break the Song reinforcements, that's his problem.
Yu Zang Hua Ma is good. But his is good, and he just didn't suffer a big loss at the hands of the Song people. Yu Zang Huama made a few shots, but he didn't take advantage of the Song people, except for one Jing Sili.
As for the rest, Liang Yiqi can be regarded as good. Compared with the Eastern Dynasty, it is really distressing.
The national strength of the Song and Xia countries is far apart, and it turned out that they could establish a country because the Song people's combat effectiveness was vulnerable. But now, in terms of talent, the gap is also getting wider. Although the emperor of the Song people was a little frizzy because he was young. But if he is the Son of Heaven for ten years and controls the situation, his ability to stabilize internal affairs will definitely increase. At that time, it will be a disaster for Great Xia.
"The vultures are old, and they are also old enough to be married." Ren Duo Ling Ding mentioned the Western Xia monarch who was not present. Bingchang is fourteen years old this year, although it is a little early, but there are not many people who marry at this age.
"I wonder which of the granddaughters of the privy family has the heart to serve the Son of Heaven?"
The veteran shook his head and laughed back at Liang Yikui's temptation: "It's Da Liao!" ”
He swept away the people in the hall who were suppressed by his proposal, and said, "It is necessary to marry Da Liao." ”
