Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 503 Could it be that those Xixia savages have been persuaded? (first update)
Chapter 502

But what about this young man?There is nothing wrong with it, and the empress dowager and the emperor, the two discordant highest power figures in the Song Dynasty, value him very much and take good care of him.

The criticisms from the old party were no more than a drop of rain to Wang Yang.

Zhang Kai belongs to neither the radically reformed new party nor the conservative old party. In addition, he has been away from political turmoil for many years. But the more he is like this, the more he can watch with cold eyes.

Apart from Wang Yang, this young Ma Shanggong entered the palace at the age of seven and has always been by the emperor's side, winning the emperor's trust. Now he is only 15 years old, but he is already an eighth-rank eunuch.

However, Zhang Yi could tell that this Ma Shanggong, when facing other people, would still control the posture of his own palace man, but when facing Wang Yang, he was unconsciously weak. The posture is enough to see that Wang Yang is far more important in the eyes of the emperor than the eunuch Ma who has been with the emperor since he was a child.

"Don't dare to do it. Mr. Zhang has been stationed in the frontier fortress for a long time. His literary talent and proficiency in strategy are really admirable to the officials. This time, he can go to Huanzhou with him. It is just a chance to learn from Mr. Zhang. Please also Mr. Zhang must give you some advice when the time comes."

Seeing Wang Yang being so knowledgeable and interesting, Zhang Wei couldn't help letting go of his guard, and said with a smile while rubbing his beard. "Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, Mr. Xiao Wang, as long as Zhang knows it, he will definitely teach you everything, and you will never hide anything."

Su Dongpo smiled and helped. "Well, Lord Zhang is one of the few people in the Song Dynasty who knows the military and has been stationed in the frontier for a long time. Wang Wushan, you must humbly seek advice from Lord Zhang."

"I will personally inspect the forts in Qingzhou, and the hard work will be on you two in Huanzhou. In addition, when I go to Huanzhou this time, I will allocate another [-] Yuan Youjia soldiers to accompany you two. I hope you two will also be careful about your own safety when inspecting the forts, otherwise, I will confess to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager with all my face."

"This, how does this make it, bachelor, you are the pillar of the country, and now you are sitting in Gyeongju, your safety cannot be ignored."

"What are you afraid of? With you in Huanzhou and Su sitting behind the town, are you still afraid that those Xixia Xiaoxiao will not be able to cross the border? What's more, Su still has a battalion of Yuanyou armored soldiers by his side. There is no need to talk about this matter...you don't But the young handsome talent that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager value most, this old man is still your witness, so I don’t want to be ashamed to explain to Ge Fei after I go back.”

"Thank you, Bachelor, for your kindness. I will remember your advice and will proceed with caution." Hearing these words, Wang Yang couldn't help bowing deeply to Su Dongpo deeply moved.

You must know that among the [-] forbidden troops who came here this time, there were only [-] capitals in total. According to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, five capitals constituted one battalion, and only six battalions in total were equipped with elite soldiers from the Song Dynasty and Yuan Youjia.

On Han Zhongyan's side, two battalions of 1000 men were transferred. When Zhang Zhuo went to Huanzhou, he was only equipped with one battalion of Yuanyou armored soldiers. Su Dongpo, who was supposed to stay in Qingzhou, also had 1000 Yuanyou armored soldiers beside him. One thousand is the elite Yuan Youjia Cavalry, which was personally instructed by the Empress Dowager. These [-] Yuan Youjia Cavalry are now definitely a trump card in Su Dongpo's hand.But now, he directly took out a battalion of Yuanyou Jiabing and handed it to Wang Yang.

Even though they were all pawns, Wang Yang was so moved by such kindness that he didn't know what to say.

After hearing these words and seeing Su Dongpo's attitude towards Wang Yang, Zhang Kai felt that Wang Yang's weight was getting heavier and heavier, and he began to carefully consider the candidates for the side generals who would protect Wang Yang.

There is no way, this guy is not only deeply trusted by the emperor and the empress dowager, even Su Dongpo has taken good care of him, if this guy really made a mistake in Huanzhou, then I will really be embarrassed.

After Zhang Yi chatted with Wang Yang and Ma Shang for a few more words, he told them that because Huanzhou is just north of Gyeongju and the army is struggling, he should have a good rest for one night and set off tomorrow.

In addition, Su Dongpo had to go with Zhang Kai to see off Han Zhongyan. Wang Yang and Ma Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief, as they didn't have to rush to Huanzhou on the same day.

Qingzhou is not very big, but it is an important town on Shanxi Road in the Song Dynasty, and because of the non-war time, the Xixia and Song folk trade, making Qingzhou seem very prosperous.

The two of them quickly picked a restaurant that seemed to be crowded with guests and rushed up. The Banzhi guards and the long attendants around Wang Yang were also squatting in the slightly cramped private room and eating delicious food. drink up.

There are not only fine wines from the Western Regions, but also the local roast lamb.A group of men ate with their mouths full of oil and shouted happily. Only Ma Shang and Eunuch Ma were chewing slowly with their fingers raised.

"I said, Mr. Ma, everything else about you is much better than in the past, but this is what you eat..." Wang Yang threw the sheep stick bone that had been gnawed clean by himself as if it had been brushed clean by a steel brush. When he got to the side, after draining the wine in front of him in one gulp, he was very emotional.

These words made some rough men nod their heads subconsciously, agreeing with the words of the old driver Wang Yang.

"It's no wonder our family has been in the palace since we were young. What we pay attention to is not to make a sound when we eat, otherwise we will annoy those old eunuchs, and we will suffer a lot..." Ma Shang recalled the bitterness and thought sweetly. .

"Nowadays, at any rate, he is a trustworthy person by His Majesty's side. Do you still need to worry about such a problem?" Wang Yang thought for a while, then copied the lamb leg stick bone, and then hooked his finger at Xu Zhao head.

Xu Zhao, who was enjoying his meal, saw Wang Yang's wretched look, his face suddenly darkened, he stood up and walked around to the other side.After making Wang Yang displeased and gesticulating his middle finger at the guy, another member of the Imperial Guard finally pulled out the guy's waist knife without paying attention.

Amidst the guy's screams, Wang Yang slashed the mutton stick bone in his hand into two pieces, and then satisfactorily inserted the waist knife smeared with mutton oil back into the front of the bitter-faced emperor. Ben straight in the sheath. "What is it called? Isn't it just to borrow your knife? Besides, don't your knives need to be oiled and maintained? I'm doing you a favor..."

"My lord... I, forget it, I really convinced you..." The imperial class wanted to cry, but he was not a prairie savage, so he must use lard that doesn't have much smell for maintenance. What.

This mutton oil has the most savory taste, so it can't carry the smell of sheep in a sheath, right?The sad and angry Imperial Banzhi could only gesture the middle finger to Wang Yang, a civil servant with extraordinary military strength, while continuing to chew those frontier delicacies in grief and indignation.

And Xu Zhao was very lucky, because last time he accidentally put the finger in the middle of the finger, what the hell, especially when the smell of sheep mixed with the smell of stinky socks when resting at night, the sourness will definitely keep you forever The memory is still fresh.

"I don't know if those Western Xia barbarians have been scared when they heard that our Great Song Forbidden Army came to help, and they retreated to the Xia Realm and dared not attack. If this is the case, then our [-] Forbidden Army, wouldn't it be a waste of time? ?” asked one of the imperial squad while gnawing on the meat.
