Under the city of Zhuozhou, the surrounding fortifications have been almost perfected, and they look neat, at this time, Yang Lingzheng comforted Ma Xiaoying and was sitting in the tent with a complacent appearance.

"My lord, General Yang sent a sentinel to deliver a letter, and his army of 20,000 is coming soon." Yue Fei strode into the tent, followed by a soldier, and on the felt hat on his head was a white feather, which was the decoration of the Bai Qi army.

Yang Ling raised his head and asked, "General Yang came before, what happened?" ”

The soldier clasped his fists and saluted, "Our Yang general sent me to inquire, has this place been arranged, and the army is coming, can it be properly contained?" There is also the geometry of Zhuozhou City, is there a chance of winning? ”

Yang Ling slowly stood up, "I am tired of telling General Yang that everything here has been carefully arranged, and the army is only in charge of the future, when I came here, my department has already seen a battle formation with Guo Yaoshi, and there are about 5,000 soldiers and horses in Zhuozhou City, of which 3,000 are still in combat power, if the army arrives, Zhuozhou City is a thing in the urn." ”

The soldier nodded, "That's good, General Yang also dragged me to bring a word to the adult, the promise of the old breed is still counted, this Zhuozhou great merit is still the adult's, and the 20,000 soldiers are nothing more than to put Zhuozhou City firmly in the hands of the adult." ”

……

Under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhending Mansion is a big city in Hebei, the more south, the more you can feel the whole prosperous scene at this time.

When you get here, the streets are crowded with people, and the sound of buying and selling is endless.

But it was such a place of wealth, and from time to time you could still smell a hint of war wafting from the north, as evidenced by a sergeant of the Shengjie army who rushed towards the city gate.

"Who's coming? Do not fly in the market, but come down quickly, or you will be punished. At the city gate, a group of soldiers were suddenly shocked, and those who came from afar shouted.

The Shengjie sergeant did not slow down the horse's speed by a bit, but only hit the horse's buttocks with a whip, and in the other hand held the back barrel containing the letter, "There are 100,000 urgent military reports to the king Xiangye, who dares to stop me?" ”

Hearing this, the city defense sergeant no longer blocked it, let go of a way, joking, they would never dare to slack off in the slightest such important matter, if it was not in the slightest, the messenger would have killed them and deserved it, and they lost their lives in vain, and no one would be punished.

After passing the city gate, the war horse suddenly neighed, and fell to the ground, and the knight was even more untouchable and fell down, and the pedestrians around almost heard the sound of fractures.

And the Shengjie army soldier raised his eyes to look at the horse that fell to the ground and was still twitching, at this moment the horse's mouth and nose were constantly panting for white air, but he couldn't stand up anymore, and he saw that he was exhausted to death.

The soldier tried his best to climb to the side of the war horse, but in the end he couldn't struggle.

The city defender walked up to the sergeant of the Shengjie army, "Strong man, if there is something important, you can do it for you." ”

"...... this thing Sent to Wang Xiangye. After the Shengjie soldier finished speaking, there was no more sound, and Hao Ran had already fainted.

The city defense officer shouted, "Come on, quickly send this person to the doctor for treatment, and go to the palace of the king and the prime minister." ”

After finishing speaking, he put the letterbox on his back and walked quickly.

On the streets, it was quickly cleaned up, and I have to say that the efficiency of this era is extremely high, and the streets and alleys are cleaned up by special people, less than a cup of tea. Except for the bloodstains at the scene, it was as if nothing had happened.

It's just that the teahouse restaurant has another person to talk about and the people in the market, who is Wang Xiangye? It is Wang Huang, the ruling minister of the dynasty after Cai Jing, Wang Huang has not been on the throne for a long time, and this person has to be the prime minister, and there is some luck in it.

Cai Jing is now old, almost eighty years old, but the more he reaches this age, Cai Jing's thirst for power becomes more unquenchable, and there is no meaning at all to provide for the elderly.

The Great Song Dynasty already had the disadvantage of redundant officials, and there were often several substitute lineups for an official position, and Cai Jing would inevitably block the way of many people's progress by acting like this.

And Cai Jing naturally has some means for the management of court power, and he has been in the prime minister for many years, and it is inevitable that he has formed a momentum of protégés and former officials all over the world, and no one cares about openly buying and selling officials.

Even if it is Wang Huang, he has to avoid his edge, keep his light and wait for the opportunity.

As the so-called feng shui rotates, next year to the Wang family, yes, it is the Wang family, although the official Zhao Ji acts in a mediocre manner, but his grasp of the political situation is also to the point of perfection.

The emperor's mind is nothing more than the separation of powers and checks and balances, there is infighting among the courtiers, the king is more at ease, if the court is full of Cai Jing's words, at that time, I am afraid that the royal status is worried.

There are still fewer such things in the past dynasties? What's more, in the party struggle started by the Yuanyou Party Monument, the official Zhao Ji has already tasted the benefits of the monarch's power brought about by the battle of scholars and doctors, and he will definitely not let Cai Jing sit alone, so he gradually became a little afraid of alienating Cai Jing.

At this time, Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You was also dissatisfied with his father's treatment of him, that is, this person was not greedy enough and did not get enough benefits, so he resolutely went out of Cai Jing's house.

Wang Hao got this opportunity and quickly knocked down Cai Jing, and Cai Jing didn't even have time to react, so he went into the field.

Wang Hao sat in the phase, Cai Yu won the city, one is a very good minister, and the other is a good one, which can be described as a match made in heaven, two stays and two flights.

And the official Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and went to the Danfang to study the way to ascend to heaven.

Despite this, Cai Jing has been operating the court for so many years, it can be said that the needle cannot be inserted, the water is impenetrable, and Wang Hao is difficult to clean for a while, so at this time, Wang Hao needs a great effort to stabilize his own phase.

Wang Hao hung up the title of deputy marshal of the Northern Expedition, and went out with the army, but no matter what, Wang Hao is Wang Hao after all, not Tong Guan, nor is he a teacher, this era is like this, the imperial examination only needs to do a good article, and it can suddenly change the door from the cold, it is really knowledge to change fate......

But even if a master of Chinese studies can be cultivated under such a system, if there is a Nobel Prize in Literature in this era, the ancient Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, and take out one casually, where else will there be a foreigner's play?
