Chapter 300: Shi Ji
Chapter 300: Shi Ji
Behind a large pile of official papercases sat an old man. There is a trace of gorgeous hair in the black hair, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The most impressive thing is that his eyes are not cloudy as old people, but they are bright and sharp. The lips are tightly pursed, and with the iron whiskers under the jaw like the mane of a lion, even if you sit quietly, you will give people an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
"Has he arrived?" When the majestic old man was dealing with the official documents, he said coldly.
His staff was stunned, but he also knew his way of doing things, and he was not at a loss. "It's already here, and Chen Tongju has arranged a master to greet him!"
A touch of disdain flashed on the old man's face, and he bowed his head slightly: "Send someone to watch this guy, don't make any trouble!" Hum! Don't look at what place Shaanxi is, what kind of person the old man is, he dares to come, it's really ridiculous! ”
…………
Jingyuan Building is not large, it is more of a chic manor than a hotel.
Don't look at him as big, but he is the head of the thirty-six main stores in Jingzhao Mansion, which is commonly known as the head of the line!
When the group came to Jingyuan Building, two shopkeepers went out of Jingyuan Building to inquire, and after learning that they had made a reservation, they immediately greeted Zhao Yu and his party with a smile.
Lifting the car door, the flower looks slightly tired. "Husband, have you arrived?"
"Well, I've arrived at the place, this is the head of the Jingzhao Mansion store! Along the way, thank you for your hard work! Looking at Hua Xiangrong's appearance, although he was slightly haggard, he still did not lose his demeanor, Zhao Yu secretly felt a little apologetic in his heart, and his voice was indescribably gentle.
"What are these words, husband? To be able to be by my husband's side, what is the tiredness of this mere journey? Hua Xiangrong shook his head, and said with a determined look on his face.
Zhao Xun was moved in his heart, stretched out his hand to support Hua Xiangrong and got out of the carriage, Zhao Xun stepped forward, bowed slightly and said: "Lord Wang, madam, because the prince has been running all the way, he doesn't dare to disturb for too long, and he has already let the shopkeeper serve the food." Now that the prince and his wife go in, they can move the chopsticks! ”
"Who is this?" Hua Xiangrong looked at Zhao Xun with some surprise, and her heart was filled with joy by Zhao Xun's lady's call.
"It's a friend!" Zhao Yu reached out and patted Zhao Xun's shoulder, and said with a little affection.
Zhao Xun was flattered and said, "How can you be a friend of the prince?" ”
"This king doesn't have so much red tape, just look at it!" Zhao Yu said disapprerovingly.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and made a gesture of please, diverting from this topic that made him a little overwhelmed. "Lord Wang, please!"
Under the guidance of Zhao Xun, the group turned the corridor and saw a small courtyard with clusters of bamboo planted outside, which made people immediately feel a burst of coolness to wash their souls in the hot autumn.
There were two beautiful maids standing outside, and when they saw Zhao Yu and his party, they immediately owed a debt and pushed open a wooden door. Immediately reveal a chic bamboo house.
Zhao Xun said with a smile on his face: "The prince is one of the most famous courtyards in Jingyuan Building, the bamboo courtyard, the owner of Jingyuan Building was not willing to give it to him, thanks to the face of the prince, knowing that it was the prince who was going to be entertained, not only agreed, but also gave a little discount!" ”
Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Da Lang's words are over, this king is just a prince who eats and waits for death, and this time he is not a good skill in Shaanxi, where is there such a great reputation?" ”
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Not only that, but there are also a few other generals who came here, but for fear that the prince would be unhappy, he did not arrange for them to go to the bamboo courtyard." I don't know if the prince can see them? ”
"Who is it?" Zhao Yu knew that this was not a general, how could these generals of the Western Army at the border pass be convinced of the achievements they had made?
In the Song army, one head of the Western Xia cavalry was captured, and five Western Xia infantry were killed, and the head of a Western Xia infantry was equivalent to the heads of three bandits, rogues, etc. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Western Army, the Mengshan bandits that Zhao Yu fought on Jingdong East Road were first-class bandits, and even if the barbarians on Guangnan West Road were more powerful than the bandits, they were just two bandit heads on the top of one barbarian soldier.
What kind of people are bullied by Song Jun? It is equivalent to a strong man beating a teenager, and winning is as it should be. Therefore, Zhao Yu's achievements really don't have much effect on the land of Shaanxi.
And why did the generals of the Western Army come?
There is no need to ask, and I also know that Shi You** is rushing to the face of Zhao Zhen, who has been stationed in Shaanxi for ten years and eight years. Don't look at Zhao Zhen being degraded, but the friendship between life and death comrades made on the battlefield will not be so easy to break.
"Which ones are there?" Zhao Yu asked in a calmer tone.
Zhao Xun knew that the other party knew his kindness, otherwise he really thought that he was admiring him, and his tone was a little proud. In my heart, I think highly of Zhao Yu, although this strange prince has a bad reputation outside, but he has also made some achievements there, and he is really not an ordinary person, but it is a pity that his background is gone! If not, there must be a public position! Alas, it's really a success, a failure, and a failure.
Although Zhao Xun had some regrets in his heart, he did not forget to answer Zhao Xun's question because of this. "It's not too many people, General Wang Qi, the commander of the Jingyuan Metropolitan Eunuch and Shengjie Army, Shi Ji, the Prisoner of Yongping Village, Wang Hengping, the Metropolitan Supervisor of Longzhou, and Liu Jizong, the Metropolitan Supervisor along Jingyuan Road, a total of four people."
Zhao Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhen's face a little highly, although he was degraded, he also invited some good characters to meet him. Wang Qi is estimated not to be Zhao Zhen's face, he is Zhao Zhen's old department, and he has served as Zhao Zhen's personal guard general for a period of time, and he has a deep relationship. But others are not, there are generally 3,000 soldiers and horses under the hands of the superintendent, and the status is quite high on the ground of Shaanxi. If you want to talk about positions, it is equivalent to a modern brigade commander, or even a division commander.
Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he arrived at the Yongping Village prisoner, and while entering the bamboo courtyard, he asked, "Who is that Shi Ji?" ”
Zhao Yu didn't ask very bonely, but the meaning was revealed.
If Zhao Xun really let go, it would not be a problem at all to invite twenty or thirty Western Army generals to come. It's just that there is no need for this, and it will also reduce Zhao Yu's share. Don't look at Zhao Yu this time, he was teamed up by Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun and squeezed out of Bianliang City, but he is also the king of Wei anyway, and he can meet him in anything, and he Zhao Yu's threshold is afraid that he will be stepped out of the sky!
And this Yongpingzhai prison is a very embarrassing official position, if you want to say low, it is not very low, but if you want to say high, it is completely unreasonable.
Yongping Village is a border village in Yanzhou, which is relatively inward. The soldiers and horses stationed there were only two battalions, that is, seven or eight hundred soldiers and horses. Moreover, the prisoner is only the second-in-command, not the first-in-command.
Zhao Xun smiled calmly and said: "It seems that the prince doesn't know Shi Ji, but it's nothing, after all, the war happened in February, and the prince has not yet arrived in Bianliang, so it's not strange that he hasn't seen that good news." ”
Zhao Yu saw that there was a reason for this, so he looked at Zhao Xun quietly and listened to what he said.
Zhao Xun's tone was full of admiration, and he said: "At the beginning, the thief chief Li Yuanhao captured Jin Mingyan, and immediately sent a partial division to attack the important walled cities of Anyuan, Saimen, and Yongping border passes. At that time, because Yongping Village was relatively far away, Jin Mingqi got the news before the Western Xia army came. Shi Yongping's village owner and prisoner were frightened, and after a short discussion, the two decided to lead the soldiers to hide in the deep mountains to avoid the edge of the Western Xia thieves. At that time, Shi Ji, who was also the commander, led his subordinates to 400 people, blocking in front of the gate of Yongping Village, Shi Ji rode on a horse and said to the owner of the village and the prisoner: "The soldiers have left, how can the people, grain and grass in the city be counted?" In the future, there will definitely be officials impeached about this matter, I, Shi Ji, am the commander, and it is impossible to avoid beheading, please two of you behead me Shi Ji in front of the horse first! Otherwise, I, Shi Ji, would not have the courage to lead my troops to follow you. ’”
When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but clap his palms and said, "Okay, if the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are like this, why worry about the immortality of Western Xia?" ”
Zhao Xun smiled, avoided Zhao Xun's words, and continued: "The owner of the village and the prisoner are ashamed and afraid, and return to the yamen with his soldiers and horses. The Western Xia thieves arrived, and Shi Ji took the lead in leading his soldiers to defend. The Western Xia army attacked hard for more than ten days, but there was no way but to retreat. Afterwards, the owner of the village and the prisoner were also shamelessly moved to an official with merit. When Shi Ji received the reward, he said: 'Fortunately, the enemy did not capture the walled city, how dare I judge the merit!' ’”
Zhao Yu sighed: "It's a good man, but I'm afraid that I have been excluded by others!" It's too rigid and easy to break, Da Lang asked him to come to see the king, but he has a little idea of letting the king take care of one or two? ”
Although he was told to break his mind, Zhao Xun was not stupid, but said a little helplessly: "That's right!" I have a little friendship with Shi Ji in the next, and I really can't bear to see such loyal people, because of exclusion and horse leather shrouds! Maybe he was even framed for the crime of being defeated by the enemy. And now in the territory of Shaanxi, the only one who can think of someone who can help him is the prince who is also loyal and righteous! ”
Zhao Yu laughed and said, "You don't have to slap the king's ass, but you are also right, such a loyal person should not fall into the conspiracy of his own people!" Go and invite the four of them over! ”
Zhao Xun was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his head.
However, he didn't follow what Zhao Yu said, and now he went to invite Wang Jue, Shi Ji and the other four to come over. Instead, he took the last thing and brought Zhao Yu and the others into the exquisite living room, and then left.
The room has a strong Tang Dynasty style, and in addition to the hall, there is also an inner room for people to rest.
Hua Xiangrong was really tired, so he went into the inner room to freshen up. Zhao Yu knelt down in the hall, where there were already cold dishes. In hot weather, eating crisp and sweet melons and fruits is the most wonderful thing.
Zhao Yu beckoned Du Xiansheng, Yang Yu, Mei Yaochen, Qian Yanyuan and others who came to Shanxi with him to sit down.
