Chapter 291: The City of Miracles (Part I)

- Shangguan, also known as Longshouguan, is the north gate of the capital of Dali. Since the rebellion of the Yang family at the end of May, the mercury has been pouring down like a bamboo along the way, and half of the country has been captured in the blink of an eye...... Of course, that half of the wall was originally controlled by the Yang family...... But before this dragon head pass, he was forcibly blocked for three months.

Although in the propaganda of the Duan clan in the future, it seems that under the wise leadership of King Duan, the soldiers of the Duan clan fought bloodily to achieve such a victory. But the people of Dali who have experienced this period know that if it weren't for a cadre of Great Song officials leading the army to help, the chaotic and frightened Duan defenders would not have been able to hold Longshou Pass.

But history has no ifs, and now under the training of a cadre of Song Dynasty officials, the mental outlook and combat ability of the Duan defenders have increased several times? The city defense of Longshou Pass is even more impregnable, and the city is in order, and it is completely impossible to see the decline before the war.

Of course, Wang Shao and a few others have also grown rapidly in the brutal battle, and now they are not the same as when they first became a sergeant.

However, since the rebels stopped attacking the city a month ago, the old ones have fallen into a state of boredom. In addition to training Dali's big-headed soldiers and taking them to repair the city wall, they can only get together to talk about the world and count the days with their fingers.

At this time, it coincided with the fasting of the Dali people, and they followed the vegetarian diet all day long, and the mouths of the old people faded out of the birds. I couldn't help it, Wang Shao asked people to put a large pot in a corner of the city wall to shelter from the wind, put chestnut charcoal as a stove, and put a bracket with iron bars on it. Greet a few brothers to eat barbecue.

With their status, it is natural that someone should serve them, but the joy of barbecue lies in the smoke and fire, so Wang Shao drove everyone who served down and became a chef himself...... He put the pre-marinated ingredients on the net. While flipping with long chopsticks, he sprinkled Nanyang spices that entered the Central Plains from the Shu body poison channel, and the aroma soon spread. Let the few people who were talking all be absent-minded.

Because there are those who love to eat meat, and there are those who maintain a literati atmosphere and like light. There are also vegetarian monks, so the ingredients they barbecue are very mixed. In addition to marinated beef slices, chicken wings, apple slices, fish, shrimp and vegetables, and even pasta...... Don't think that only Xuanyu eats. This kind of Dali pasta, called 'bait', is loved by everyone.

It is made of rice flour in the shape of a thin cake, and when it is roasted on the fire until slightly browned, it is coated with sesame sauce on the surface, and cucumbers, radish strips, or roasted beef and mutton slices are rolled and eaten. Especially in war, because it can make people eat quickly. Deeply loved by Wang Shao and several people.

However, in this kind of gluttonous moment, the most popular is Dali grilled fish...... The pre-cut and stretched bamboo skewers resemble kites, and roasted on both sides over a charcoal fire until the fishy smell turns into aroma. Squeak and drip oil. So one of them picked up one, and the other hand carried the wine jar...... With a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, he feasted regardless of his image.

"I said you, Duan Wang Ye is not going to invite guests to dinner," he was eating happily, when he heard a joking voice say: "But hiding here to grill fish to eat." Let me go to the top tank alone. "It was Lu Huiqing who spoke, and yesterday Duan Silian was in the Dali Palace, holding a banquet to entertain the Song envoys. Except for Wang Jue, who stayed in Dali City, Longshouguan only went to Lu Huiqing as a representative.

"The one who ate the state banquet is back." Wang Shao glanced at him and said, "How is it, are you happy eating?" ”

"It's so fragrant, don't talk nonsense, let's solve your cravings first." Lu Huiqing rubbed his hands and said.

"I haven't eaten enough of the delicacies from the mountains and the sea at the state banquet." Song Duanping joked: "A broken fish is still rare? ”

"That's right, it's rare." Lu Huiqing took a grilled fish, took a small bite, and said with an intoxicated face: "This is the right taste, I ate it in the Dali Palace yesterday, and it is called a tasteless." ”…,

"What's the matter, the level of Dali's imperial chef is too poor?" Everyone asked with a smile.

"The level is not bad, but this meal is too hard." Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Whether it is Dali people, or we Song people, we all have our own thoughts in our hearts, each with a ghost, do you think you can eat well?" ”

"What do you mean by Duan Silian?" Wang Shao took a sip of wine and continued to turn over the barbecue and asked.

"I still hope that my army of the Great Song Dynasty can be stationed in Dali City." Lu Huiqing smiled: "Duan Silian still doesn't give up......"

"This old man," Wang Shao chirped, "It's too wishful thinking, how can our Great Song Dynasty have that strength?" ”

"Complain less." Lu Huiqing shook her head and said, "Be careful to let people hear." ”

"I can't hear you." Wang Shao shook his head, but still said in a low voice: "It is said that this time, Zhong Fang can create this situation, which is already a great ability. But the attitude of the imperial court always makes people feel aggrieved...... Only 30,000 troops were dispatched, and no food was paid, and no war was allowed! The officials and ministers not only let the horses run fast, but also let the horses not eat grass, and they really regarded Zhong Fang as a fairy! ”

"If there are no these conditions, if Dali can't solve the domestic money shortage, the imperial court will not give a single soldier to Zhongfang." Zeng Bu said lightly: "And in order to be able to send troops quickly, Zhong Fang can only pinch his nose and accept these conditions. ”

"I can see it, fighting for the Great Song Dynasty is what the gods do." Qi Ji laughed back: "You don't have the immortal energy like Chen Sanlang, don't be that big-tailed wolf." ”

"Okay, okay, stop talking weird." Lu Huiqing didn't want to listen to him complain and cause unnecessary trouble. Back then, Wang Yirou and Su Shunqin's gang didn't just because they were drunk and talked wildly, and their future was ruined when they first entered the political arena? The bloody lesson must be learned: "This mission, we can be described as a great success, even if it cannot shine in the annals of history, it is enough to be famous for a while, you should be happy." ”

"What's there to be happy about? Relying on maintaining the tripartite balance of power to maintain its position in Dali is too unstable. When the balance of the three parties is broken. Everything will go into the unknown again. Wang Shao seemed to be in opposition to him: "When will Dali become the state and county of the Great Song Dynasty, then it is really worth being happy." ”

"Iron still needs to be hard," Song Duanping knew that Wang Shao and Lu Huiqing had many quarrels on weekdays because of their different concepts, and if they fought for it. I can't eat this meal. Then he said to the mud: "When did the Great Song Dynasty become united, the treasury was abundant, and the army was strong. When will Dali be completely ours. ”

"You didn't say that." Wang Shao rolled his eyes and said, "But that's really the truth." ”

"yes." Zeng Bu also nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty is riddled with all kinds of evils, and it is difficult to move forward, and the corpses of hundreds of officials are vegetarian and obscene. Such a court. It's not easy to maintain, so how can we talk about the great cause of distribution?! ”

"We must change the law, change customs, and refresh and reform from the inside out to have hope." Wang Shao nodded and said, "But I think that today's officials can't be counted on, and they are gloomy. I hope God bless us and give us a promising new king! ”

"Look at it, it's here again......" Lu Huiqing said depressedly: "The Yin Jian of the Qingli Party is not far away, why don't you accept the lesson?" ”

"Ball! This day is far away from the emperor, can he still float to the ears of the officials? Wang Shao rolled his eyes and said, "Say it again." These words are not my own thoughts, people of insight in the court have made this view! ”

"It's just alarmist. The official family is prosperous in the spring and autumn, how can you say that it is twilight? Lu Huiqing shook her head and said, "How can you not expect it?" ”

"Naturally, I don't spread rumors!" Wang Shao was intent on refuting him. shook out a secret story and said: "You may not know that Wang Jiefugong, who presided over the Spring Festival this year, is actually my cousin who came out of the five suits. ”…,

"Really?" It's true that everyone hasn't heard him mention it, but it's normal, this guy has seen the head and the end all day long, and there are too many secrets on his body.

"Hmm. What is there to climb for that kind of poor relative. Wang Shao smiled and said: "In the spring of this year, he presided over the spring festival unusually, and people all over the world thought that this was a sign that the official family wanted to use him greatly." Who knew that he was immediately demoted out of Beijing, which made people cry out as a surprise. Do you know why? ”

"Didn't you say that at the flower viewing and fishing banquet, the official family ate the bait and thought that the prince had bad intentions and was grandstanding?" Song Duanping said.

"Hehe......" Wang Shao smiled and said: "This is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, Wang Ping is confused, eating the wrong food and wearing the wrong clothes are not uncommon, what is the point of eating some bait?" The official family just used the excuse to demote him. ”

"What's the real reason?"

Before he had an accident, he took a "Book of Ten Thousand Words" that was a needle and a disadvantages, which was really lofty and heroic. The will of change is blazing! Wang Shao said: "After handing it over, it was left behind, and there was no news from the sea, and then it was demoted out of Beijing soon after......

"Have you read his book of 10,000 words?" Everyone was immediately aroused, and even Lu Huiqing pricked up their ears.

"I visited the prince that day, and I happened to have seen the manuscript."

"How much more can I remember?"

"Not a word for word!"

"Why don't you recite it yet?!" The crowd was overjoyed.

"Wash your ears and listen," Wang Shao cleared his throat and groaned loudly:

“…… The gentleman is not noble, but the villain also has to go to the toilet; Righteous arguments are not intolerable, but heresies are sometimes used; Seek the people of the world with poems, but there is no way to cultivate them in schools; The position of the imperial court is described by the qualifications of the imperial examination, and there is no way to take the official examination. There is no one in the supervisor to procure, and the guard is not a chosen official. The urgency of migration is not only difficult to evaluate performance, but also the crowd of people who talk because they can be confused. There are many people who are private and supportive, and those who are independent may be depressed. Therefore, it is just lazy and tolerant from top to bottom, although there are capable people in office, it is no different from mediocre people...... His Majesty bows to the quality of the saint, inherits the infinite thread, knows that the help of heaven cannot be permanent, and knows that the personnel cannot be slackened, then the time of great promise is today! ”

"Honestly!" The young official was excited from the bottom of his heart, and he was no longer confused all of a sudden-
