A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 285 The Emperor and His Ministers Were Surprised

"Just ask Shen An to see me."

Standing outside the palace gate, Shen An felt like returning home. She just wanted to rush to Bao Zheng's house to pick up her sister.

After he finished speaking, he walked around boredly. When he turned around, he saw no one had entered, so he said angrily: "What does this mean? Is it possible that Shen has only left Bianliang for a few months and no one knows him yet?"

He was wondering if his sister was sad.

Guoguo loves to act like a spoiled brat!

But when he wasn't around, Guoguo was so sensible and heart-warming.

Even Mr. Bao said it didn't look like a five-year-old girl.

The guards guarding the door looked at him in surprise, and one of them asked: "Shen Daizhao, you... you didn't escape back, right?"

Damn it!

Shen An was angry, "Why are you talking? What do you mean I escaped back... Hey! Who is spreading rumors? Go report it, just say I'm old... just say I'm back."

The guards seemed to have seen a ghost, some ran away, and some shouted: "Shen An is back!"

Damn it!

Shen An felt a little confused.

Brother is not a street tiger!

Shen An felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What's going on?"

No one answered him. The guards all looked at him with vigilant eyes, as if he was just a smelly piece of dog shit that would be poisoned if stepped on.

What about the good news from Fuzhou? Didn’t you start one step ahead of me?

Shen An murmured a little in his heart. When Chen Zhongheng appeared, he said angrily: "Old Chen, what do you mean? Why have I been away for several months like a rebel? Who is talking bad about me!"

After Chen Zhongheng stood still, he took a closer look at his clothes. When he saw his gray face, he sighed: "Defeated?"

"What failed?"

Shen An was startled, then suddenly realized, and cursed: "Which person who has no sense in giving birth to a son is spreading rumors? I have repeatedly made military exploits, but why did I fail... Whoever spread the rumor, I will kill him!"

At this moment, Chen Ang, who was far away in Fuzhou, was trembling.

Although he asked people to recover the letter asking for help, Hedong Road was an important military town, and he did not dare to stay for a moment after receiving military information. He immediately sent people to the capital to report the news.

If it weren't for Shen An's eagerness to return, he would probably go back at this moment and beat Chen Ang, who was impressed by him, half to death.

After entering the palace, Shen An saw that the emperor and his ministers were all expressionless, and his previous thoughts were a little shaken.

Who made the mistake?

Guoguo?

Nonsense!

What mistake could a five-year-old girl make?

And even if Guo Guo makes a mistake, Shen An can still handle the big things.

So who else?

Bao Zheng?

Shen An's eyes became colder.

Whoever dares to mess with Bao Zheng, I will dare to mess with him!

"How about Fuzhou?"

Zhao Zhen's voice was a little calm.

If it was a victory, the good news would have arrived long ago.

But now it's just Shen An's return, and the result is self-evident.

He sighed, then stared blankly into space.

Why doesn’t Xixia’s rebellion stop letting go?

"Fuzhou is well."

Um?

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and looked at Shen An, with surprise in his eyes.

"Fuzhou is still there? That's good, that's good!"

He said to the ministers and assistants: "You ministers must not be harsh, and you must not be harsh."

He would always be tolerant of his ministers, so much so that many of them would kick their noses in their faces.

For example, Bao Zheng, if it weren't for his kindness, he would have to take a trip to the Imperial City.

But his character gave the DPRK more cohesion and gave this era more vitality instead of confinement.

Fu Bi bowed slightly to show his obedience.

The ministers bowed their heads one after another. At this moment, they remembered the emperor's kindness, so they were willing to give in.

Zhao Zhen nodded happily, and then said to Shen An: "You have worked hard on this trip, so go back soon."

After the defeat, impeachment from all parties will overwhelm Shen An, and a quiet rest will be important at this time.

Shen An said in confusion: "Your Majesty, where is the good news?"

The hall suddenly became quiet.

What?

Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "What good news?"

Shen An said: "When I arrived in Fuzhou, I killed thirteen enemy scouts before entering the city. The enemy army immediately attacked the city. The Fuzhou army killed countless enemies and the enemy army fled. Zhejizu and his ministers saw that the enemy was weak. I guess the enemy is trying to contain..."

"etc!"

Fu Bi felt a little dizzy.

He asked, "Just watching?"

You actually judged the Xixia people as weak just by looking at them?

At this moment, Fu Bi just wanted to punch Shen An down with one punch, and then throw him into the Bian River.

"yes!"

Shen An was confused and said: "What else do you want?"

Fu Bi said angrily: "What if the enemy troops hide?"

Shen An fiddled with the placket on his chest, and Fu Bi subconsciously slapped him in the head.

The king and his ministers were all dizzy and regretted that they had neglected the usefulness of the telescope.

At several times the distance, the enemy's actions that they think are hidden will be invisible.

In such a battlefield, the Song Dynasty has an inherent advantage!

If the enemy finds out first, this is cheating.

Zhao Zhen's face flushed, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hurry up and say it!"

Fu Bi also stared angrily, "What are you waiting for?"

The two bosses were furious and wished they could hear the news about the war in Fuzhou right away.

Only Han Qi stood there reservedly, not squinting.

You knew the outcome a long time ago, but you fools didn't believe it. What now? Are you all dumbfounded?

Shen An felt that he had offended the public, but the reason was unknown.

He said innocently: "Later, the Fuzhou Army and the Mangshan Army were dispatched to rescue Baisheng Village."

"Cough cough cough!"

Han Qi felt that Shen An was too shameless, so he said calmly: "The Mangshan Army...more than a hundred people...why are they going?"

If more than a hundred people say anything about going out in force, outsiders will laugh out loud.

Shen An was slightly angry: "Our army marched quickly, and when they reached Baisheng Village five miles away, the scouts attacked, but were blocked by the enemy's cavalry, causing heavy casualties. I led the Mangshan Army to attack the scouts alone, and found that the number of enemy troops was only six or seven thousand. That’s why I made up my mind to attack..."

Shen An's eyebrows became more excited, and he was still nostalgic for that moment.

Blood and fighting!

"...The whole army attacked and encountered the enemy. The enemy's cavalry took the lead in attacking, and our army formed a formation. The spear formation was broken by the enemy in an instant, and it was chopped with axes, but it was still difficult to stop... Five thousand versus six thousand, Our army is at a disadvantage..."

There was silence in the palace, and both the emperor and his ministers were worried.

Even though they heard Shen An say it was good news, they were still worried at this moment.

"What happened next?"

Fu Bi couldn't help but ask.

Shen An's lips were a little dry. He licked his lips. "The two sides were in a stalemate. Our army's Shenwei crossbows continued to fire, and the enemy suffered heavy losses. However, it was difficult for our infantry to stop the enemy's cavalry, so Zhe Zhizhou personally charged into the formation..."

A sense of tragedy filled the hall.

In past battles, the emperors and ministers could only look at the results, and they didn't even care about the number of casualties.

No one has ever explained the battle situation in such detail as Shen An.

"...The two sides are in a stalemate..."

"Good news!"

There was a loud shout outside the palace, and the emperor and his ministers all looked at it.

A messenger hurried in.

"Your Majesty, good news from Fuzhou."

Shen An was confused.

The messenger reporting the victory had left half a day earlier than him, but he only arrived now.

Why is this?

When the messenger came in and no longer looked embarrassed, Shen An knew why.

Damn your family!

Shen An nodded slightly.

Zhe Jizu asked the messenger reporting the victory to be slower, just to let him enter the capital alone and be the first to receive the glory.

But Chen Luo had a fever on the way, and Shen An and the others' schedule was delayed for two days, so they were in the dilemma of arriving today.

The messenger came in and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Xixia is attacking, and more than 3,000 enemies were killed in Fuzhou in one battle..."

The memorial was delivered to Zhao Zhen, and the messenger was still talking about the good news.

"...Shen Daizhao led the Mangshan Army to attack the enemy from the flank. The enemy was frightened and fled immediately. Our army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill..."

The king and his ministers were stunned.

Zhao Zhen held the victory document and did not read it, but looked at Shen An.

You actually led your troops to attack the enemy formation...

Han Qi's lips twitched. Just now he was about to go out and refute Shen An's words of personally leading the army to attack, but the trustworthy report made him feel awe-inspiring.

Who dares to charge into battle?

Han Qi thought he could do it, but when he really thought about it, he was disappointed.

He didn't dare to face the brutality of the massacre, let alone charging into battle. He would feel uncomfortable seeing corpses up close.

The messenger glanced at Shen An, that look...

Han Qi has seen this look before.

The way the soldiers looked at the warriors.

What did Shen An do?

"...Chased the enemy until dusk and returned later. Shen waited for the order to collect the enemy's corpses in front of Baisheng Village..."

The history of Zhujingguan in the Song Dynasty is nothing worth showing off, it can be said to be barren. And the civil servants cast a view of the capital... That is simply crazy, crazy!

The messenger glanced at Shen An and said: "Shen is waiting for the imperial edict to order the prisoners to pile up their corpses and cast them in Beijing..."

It was quiet.

The messenger sniffed and took a bold look.

Chen Zhongheng was looking at Shen An, his eyes full of surprise.

You idiot, how dare you go to Zhujing Temple! Just wait, Guoguo will definitely dislike you!

Fu Bi was looking into the void, as if there was a magical elixir there.

Han Qi looked at Fu Bi's neck with surprise.

And the emperor...

Zhao Zhen was in a daze.

He had read many books, so Jingguan naturally knew what was going on.

But that's a warrior's job.

Di Qing did it.

But Shen An... this young man actually did it too.

Zhao Zhen found it incomprehensible. Really, he could imagine what Jingguan looked like based only on written impressions.

The corpses were piled up and then covered with soil.

"... Jingguan was cast, and the Qiafan cavalry passed by. They were shocked and surrendered. Afterwards, the Fuzhou army rushed into the Xixia territory, raided the enemy's remnants, and won a complete victory..."

Han Qi couldn't help but ask: "Surprise the enemy?"

The young cavalry of the Song Dynasty, the raid was like a joke.

"How many cavalry are there?"

He felt that this was suspected of lying about his achievements.

He also lied about military merit when he was in the northwest, and also ignored his subordinates' false claims about military merit.

Many times he cannot stop him and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net can only go with the flow.

The messenger said: "More than a thousand war horses were captured."

Is this developed?

Han Qi's eyes turned green, and when he was about to roll up his sleeves, he remembered that he was no longer the Privy Councilor.

But Song Xiang couldn't help it anymore: "More than a thousand war horses? How many have been sent?"

The Song Dynasty was short of horses, and the monarchs and ministers who were short of horses were sad.

Now there are more than a thousand war horses, which is a huge sum of money!

Get it here first and then talk about it.

So greedy!

Shen An said: "This matter... let's report the victory first."

The fourth update is here, good night everyone.
