Chapter 808

"That's Hongzhou, right?" Su Dongpo turned over and jumped off the horse, threw the reins to his soldiers, and stood on the mountain beam to look into the distance, and in the distance, he could already see a striking city in sight.

Beside him, a large number of soldiers of the Song army who were wearing stubborn and sharp were taking steps and continuing to move in the direction of the city.

"Bachelor, that's Hongzhou, Bachelor, you've been working on the saddle horse for a few days, and when you arrive in Hongzhou, it's better to have a good rest." A general beside him looked at the dusty and haggard Su Dong ramp in front of him with some concern.

"The old man is saved, and he can see that Hongzhou is unharmed, so the old man is really relieved. I don't know what the situation in Youzhou is now......" Su Dongpo waved his hand, and after exhaling a breath of turbidity, he looked a little worried.

"There have not been Liaoxia soldiers and horses outside Hongzhou City, which is enough to prove that Youzhou is still in the hands of Lord Xiao Wang." The officials around him gave their own answers.

Su Dongpo stroked his beard happily and smiled. "The old man also thinks that with that kid's ability, it is impossible for Liaoxia to break through Youzhou City, which he has been preparing for so long, in a short time."

"Hongzhou sentenced Dong Qun, I have seen Mr. Su......" Finally, at this time, a civil official hurried over to this side, and after coming to Su Dongpo's approach, with a look of worship and excitement, he bowed to Su Dongpo.

"It turned out to be Dong Tong's judgment, please hurry up, now that Hongzhou has a lot of trouble, all the armies must have arrived, right? In addition, where is General Huang Shouxin Huang? ”

"Back to the bachelor, more than an hour ago, General Huang received an alarm from the ancient city of Wuyan, and he had already rushed over. Now 10,000 Dingbian troops, 15,000 Gyeongju troops, and 8,000 security troops have arrived at Hongzhou City and stationed there. Dong Qun hurriedly replied.

"Is something happening over there in the ancient city of Wuyan?" Su Dongpo paused and was about to go down the mountain, turned his head and asked Dong Qun.

"Fifty miles northwest of the ancient city of Wuyan, a large number of enemy traces were found, the number was at least fifty or sixty thousand, and there were a large number of siege weapons among the troops......

"General Huang was worried about the situation in Naiwangjing and the ancient city of Wuyan, so he asked Xia Guan to stay in Hongzhou to meet the bachelor, and he rushed to the front line to find out the truth."

Su Dongpo's brows couldn't help but tighten tightly. "Fifty or sixty thousand...... Meaning, the Liaoxia coalition army outside Youzhou City began to divide its troops? ”

"Well, maybe it's possible." Dong Qun blinked, and could only admit casually, after all, he was not a military general, and he was really not proficient in military affairs.

"Ru Lin, what do you think?" Su Dongpo's gaze fell on a civil official who was nearly forty years old and in the prime of life not far behind him.

"Bachelor, Xia Guan thinks that it should be that the Liaoxia coalition army is very likely to realize that this Youzhou is a very difficult bone to gnaw, in order to prevent a long-term attack and hurt the morale of the army, so it will be decided to divide the troops to the south to find fighters."

"And Yanzhou is too far away, not to mention that there must be a connection between Liaoxia, and you should also know that Xingqing Mansion has sent a large army to attack Yanzhou, so the purpose of this Liaoxia coalition army can only be Hongzhou."

This tall and burly middle-aged official, who is more like a general than a civilian official, analyzes things in an orderly manner, and listens to Su Dongpo's frequent bows.

"It is worthy of being recommended by Wang Wushan to His Majesty, I really don't know where that kid learned about this Rulin." After Su Dongpo bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, he couldn't help but sigh.

That kid is not yet twenty years old, has he actually begun to take on the responsibilities of Bole? Shouldn't this be something that a middle-aged man in his fifties like himself should do?

The important thing is that this Zong Ze is just a little-known daimyo mansion pavilion Tao County as the county lieutenant and the county magistrate. But he just let Wang Yang know about him, and then tried his best to recommend it to the Son of Heaven.

As a result, the Son of Heaven was skeptical, so he decided to send someone to secretly check the details of this Zong Ze first, and if he didn't check it, forget it, this check, ouch, it's really a fucking person. actually entered the imperial examination after he ascended the throne, and he can be regarded as his protégé.

It should be in the sixth year of Yuanyou, the court held the provincial examination and the palace examination. Zong Ze, who is thirty-three years old, went all the way to the capital Kaifeng to take the provincial test after passing the liberation test.

After Zong Ze passed the provincial examination (Ministry of Rites examination), he entered the palace examination. During the palace examination, Zong Ze ignored the regulations on the number of words, wrote more than 10,000 words, vigorously stated the disadvantages of the times, and also criticized the imperial court for believing Wu Chuhou's false accusations and banishing Cai Qu, believing that "the disaster of the friends began here." ”

This was Zong Ze's first appearance in politics, which fully reflected his strong demand for the elimination of maladministration and his courage and determination to fight against evil forces.

And the chief examiner at that time was Han Zhongyan, a neutral old driver, who admired Zong Ze's talent very much, but was worried that he would be so crooked, it would be easy to offend all the ministers of the old party of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although Zong Ze failed to reach the top of the list, he passed the imperial examination after all, and began to enter the official career. At the end of the eighth year of the reign of Yuan Yu, Zong Ze was sent to the Daimyo Prefecture to serve as the county governor and the regent of the prefecture. Less than a month after his arrival, Zong Ze quickly and properly handled the county's backlog of litigation cases over the years, showing his ability to handle government affairs and winning the trust and admiration of his subordinates.

And as soon as he did it here, he did it until Wang Wushan sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu noticed him, and learned that this person had excellent local governance skills, and he was also full of strong determination to change the Great Song Dynasty.

couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he simply issued an edict to let Zong Ze enter Beijing, and then after meeting the Son of Heaven, after several recitals, he would be assigned by the Son of Heaven to go to the newly occupied Sanzhou land on Shaanxi Road to take up his post.

Zong Ze looked at Master Su, who was smiling meaningfully, strode away, touched his nose, and followed Bachelor Su's footsteps down the mountain.

Having said that, for himself to suddenly be favored by fate, Zong Ze himself was also very confused at first. I'm working hard in the Daimyo's Mansion, and I just want to prove my ability.

After only less than two years of work, he suddenly transferred himself to the Beijing Division Ordnance Supervisor, from a local official, to a Beijing official, which is unscientific, mainly not in line with the convention.

But what I didn't expect was that after coming to Jingshi to take up his post, I learned that my boss was His Royal Highness King Duan, and in the weapons prison, I even met Zhao Xu, the son of today, and had a few faces.

The important thing is that the Son of Heaven actually seemed so approachable, and he chatted with himself several times, and even mentioned the policy when he entered the imperial examination.

This moved Zong Ze to Mo Ming, he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous little official as he was so valued by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven seemed to agree with his own views and opinions, which made Zong Ze even more flattered.
