Chapter 16 The shore is green
In mid-September, because Tang Ning had exterminated all the bandits he could suppress in Chuzhou, Zhao Ren finally couldn't hold it back and revealed his fox tail.
And Liu Ling and He Yu, who had been tracking him, also discovered where Zhao Ren was. At the end of September, the two forces of Wu Desi, the local government and the Danyang Dart Bureau attacked Zhao Ren's base camp at the same time, and after the battle, Zhao Ren was defeated, but he and his 500 men still fled on horseback.
It was only at this time that Liu Ling knew what Zhao Ren had done in Qingtang, his horses were all good horses produced in Qingtang, and he went to Qingtang to exchange other materials for good horses in the hands of Qingtang people.
The next step is to finish the work, the Zhenjiang army according to the information given by the captured Zhao Ren's subordinates, all the bandits that Zhao Ren received in Huaidong were wiped out, and Zhao Ren's cobwebs were turned upside down, but after the bandits in Huaidong were cleared, it was already the end of October.
The army did not have time to delay here any longer, and needed to rush to Shaanxi immediately so as not to delay the fighters.
Therefore, Zhao Ren's arrangements in Huaixi were not disturbed, but Liu Ling said that he would take the local government to carry out anti-bandit activities. Strive to fight this time, even if you can't catch Zhao Ren's loach, you must completely eliminate his power.
All in all, the behavior of the Zhenjiang army in Huaidong shook the entire green forest, and the Huaidong bandits, except for those who escaped, were all beheaded by Tang Killing Star to show the public.
The government had never been so cruel to them, which made them feel that the profession of bandits was gradually losing its future.
On the other side, Downing didn't delay any more along the way. Lu Huiqing urged Tang Ning to hurry up and the letter had already received three letters, both Tang Ning and Cheng Yang felt that the delay on the road was a bit too long, so they let go of the bandits who fled along the way and went straight to Shaanxi.
At the beginning of December, Tang Ning, who had just arrived in Shaanxi, received a shocking news.
The Tanguts gathered an army of 500,000 and attacked Yanlu in a big way, preparing to defeat all the military forces of the Song State in Yanlu.
Not to be outdone, Song Ting's deployment in Shaanxi for more than two years finally came to fruition.
Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, Yan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, and Yongxing Military Road gathered 200,000 troops to deal with the attack of the Western Xia people.
Liu Fa, Chong Pu, Zhe Keshi, Zhang, Lu Huiqing, Chen Qing, You Shixiong, these very famous people also led their own armies, and the soldiers were waiting for the day, and a storm was revealing its hideous face in Shaanxi.
When Tang Ning arrived at Yanlu, he soon met Lu Huiqing.
Lu Huiqing can be regarded as an upgraded version of Shen Kuo, he has talent and ability, but he does not have such a strong spirit of study as Shen Kuo.
Moreover, he is also a powerful general under Wang Anshi, and he is the number two person in the New Party in Wang Anshi's era.
It's a pity that he and Wang Anshi later hated each other, which also led to a lot of infamy on his back. People in the New Party scolded him for his treachery
Righteousness, the people in the old party scolded him for bringing disaster to the country and the people.
In this way, he is not human inside and out. It's just that Lu Huiqing is an arrogant person, even when he worked with Wang Anshi before, he didn't think Wang Anshi was so powerful.
Such a character is naturally rejected by others, not to mention that Lu Huiqing is still a capable person, everyone was born by their parents, they are all with a nose and a mouth, why are you better than us?
This is a universal phenomenon in human society, and Lu Huiqing is not the first victim, nor will she be the last.
So when his younger brother committed a crime, he was relegated from the capital as an elder brother, and he was never able to touch the power center of the Great Song Dynasty again.
Now he is doing well, but his life has been extremely bleak a few years ago. At that time, Zhao Xu had just succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao supported the old party, and the old party was so arrogant that she took out all the people of the new party and scolded them bloody.
Among them, Lu Huiqing, as the No. 2 person, naturally can't escape, and he is a small official who is demoted to the deputy envoy of the Jianning Army, which is enough to show how downtrod this person is.
However, although he was now reinstated as an envoy to Yanlu Jing, his advanced age and the fact that he had many political enemies in the DPRK and China prevented him from entering the center of power in the Great Song Dynasty.
Cheng Yang and Lu Huiqing only know each other, but they are not familiar with each other. At Cheng Yang's age, he naturally experienced the era of cooperation between Shenzong and Wang Anshi's ministers.
At that time, he was still a military eunuch in the palace, and he was often responsible for the security of Emperor Shenzong, Lu Huiqing and Wang Anshi often met Emperor Shenzong, and it was because of this that he became familiar with the two.
After seeing Tang Ning, Lu Huiqing looked up and down, and then said with some disappointment: "The old man still thinks that this Tang Killing Star has such a prestige, and he is the commander of the Zhenjiang Army, so he must be a man who can recruit good soldiers."
When I saw it today, it really disappointed the old man. ”
Tang Ningxin said that this Lu Huiqing really deserves his reputation, and he has been mixed into this miserable situation, and he did not forget to make sarcastic remarks about others. But what Lu Huiqing said couldn't refute himself, no one in the Zhenjiang Army could be lacking, but he lacked himself, and it didn't have any impact.
Touching his nose, Tang Ning said embarrassedly: "What Lord Lu said is true." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Huiqing was even more disappointed. Shaking his head and sighing: "As the commander of the first army, how can he win a hundred battles without even a little blood?" ”
Tang Ning's nose was crooked, and his heart said that Lao Tzu didn't speak, you said that Lao Tzu's appearance was not majestic enough, and when Lao Tzu spoke, you said that Lao Tzu had no blood, people have two mouths, and there are good and bad words, and now you have said all the good things, what did Lao Tzu say?
After scolding Lu Huiqing in his stomach for a round of bastards, giving birth to a son who has no fart~ eyes and the like, Tang Ning felt a lot more comfortable.
However, at this time, Lu Huiqing was no longer willing to deal with Tang Ning, and turned her head to Cheng Yang and said Zhenjiang Army with a smile
things.
Tang Ning didn't advance, nor did he retreat, and he was embarrassed, when a person suddenly came in outside the door.
"My lord......" Speaking of this, the man saw Tang Ning and Cheng Yang standing in the room, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Tang!" What are you doing here! ”
The person who came was none other than the one who had not yet been given the Tao of the Famous Master.
The two are also familiar with each other, after all, in the first battle of Hindburg, the two really stood together and fought side by side back to back. The friendship between men is sometimes so simple, although Chong Jianzhong is also in his forties, but this does not prevent him from intimately calling Tang Ning Brother Tang.
Tang Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big brother is too polite, little brother Tang can't afford these two words." ”
Chong Jianzhong said with a smile: "In this case, how about calling you a brother for a brother?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and smiled when he heard this: "I follow the mind of the big brother." ”
The two of them frowned, completely treating the others as air. In this way, Lu Huiqing was naturally unhappy.
Raising her eyebrows, Lu Huiqing said to Chong Jianzhong: "You know? ”
Chong Jianzhong hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, in the battle of Hongdebao four years ago, his subordinates set out from Huanzhou with this Tang commander to support General Zhe Keshi, who set up an ambush in Hongdebao. Speaking of this, Chong Jianzhong looked at Tang Ning and smiled, and continued: "And they fought together, fighting with the Tanguts for nearly eight hours, until the entire army of the Tanguts fled in a hurry. ”
Lu Huiqing was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Ning, looked him up and down again, and said in surprise: "I can't see it......"
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Humble duties are more accustomed to being hidden, and it is normal for adults not to see it. ”
Cheng Yang covered his mouth and snickered, this kid's best thing appeared, he couldn't do too much to put gold on his face.
When Lu Huiqing heard this, she felt that Tang Ning's words were a bit grandiose. He was a little displeased, and the good impression he had just had for Tang Ning disappeared all of a sudden.
He snorted and said, "You don't have to shake your lips here, it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out to know." ”
Lu Huiqing spoke so ugly, Tang Ning also held his breath in his heart. couldn't help but sneer: "Since you said that lowly duties are mules and horses, then what are you?" ”
When Cheng Yang and Chong Jianzhong heard this, they both said bad in their hearts. This Lu Huiqing is the most resentful, Tang Ning talked to him like this, he still had to wear small shoes for Tang Ning to die?
Who knew that Lu Huiqing's answer made the three of them unexpected.
"Old man, you say? The old man is just a donkey who has worked for half his life and was finally thrown aside. ”
