King of Song

Chapter 352
Dashun City stands majestically on the wilderness forty miles northwest of Gyeongju.

Ever since Fan Zhongyan traveled to the northwest during the Qingli period of Renzong and built a city here, Dashun City has become an extremely important point on the northwest border.

Because of his importance, he will inevitably become the focus of attention.

Not just because it is the northwest gateway of Gyeongju, a strategic location.

Previously, because Li Fugui framed the case of Lin Zhao, Dashun City became the focus of the Song Dynasty and attracted much attention.More than 1000 soldiers of Li in Dashun City died in vain, Li Fugui, the magistrate of Gyeongju, defected, Lin Zhao was wronged, and then the empress dowager came forward. Everything revolved around Gyeongju.

Only a few months have passed, and the star halo on Dashun City should not have faded.In recent days, it has become the focus again.

This time is undoubtedly more grand, not just the Song Dynasty, but the entire Northwest, the entire east of the mainland, all major forces, many people are paying attention to the situation in Dashun City.

There is no doubt that the outcome of the battle in Dashun City is very important, and he himself will have a great influence.At the same time, it will also prompt or influence many people to make relevant decisions, as well as the interests of many people.In the end, it will imperceptibly promote some changes in the whole world, and the process of the times often changes in this inadvertent way.

Dashun City, which was on the cusp of the storm, was too important. For the Song Dynasty, it was almost absolutely unmissable.Therefore, the defenders of Dashun City, and even the generals in the entire Northwest are under great pressure.

Shanxi Road Xuanfu envoy Han Jiang was very anxious when he learned of the situation, and planned to rush to Qingzhou to take command in person.He has already rushed to the northwest to take charge of the overall situation. If the war situation deteriorates again, it is really difficult for him to explain to the court. The pressure on his duties will naturally increase the responsibility.

But at this time, Wang Shao, who had the right to know Gyeongju, came with a letter. Han Jiang was relieved after reading it, and gave up his plan to go to Gyeongju, and continued to pay attention to the overall command.As for the situation of the battle between Gyeongju and Dashun City, Wang Shao had full authority to handle it.

It stands to reason that Dashun City was stormed, and the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road confessed such an important matter, Wang Shao should be anxious and overwhelmed.

But in Gyeongju, Wang Shao, the deputy Zhizhou, seemed to be a normal person, and did not immediately send someone to rescue him.

Wang Shao was worried. The Xixia army stormed Dashun City, and the front line of Liyuan Fort was also under great pressure. In order to block the reinforcements, and wholeheartedly captured Dashun City, there must be an ambush in Xixia. It is irrational to rush to rescue at this time Behavior.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Wang Shao to take a stand still.It just conforms to the strategy of the art of war, but it doesn't quite conform to the popular will.

At the beginning, it seemed that some people made irresponsible remarks, and they were a little bit reluctant to agree with Wang Shao's actions, and all kinds of rumors continued.But as time went by, the scouts detected traces of Xixia's ambush.In this way, it proved that what Wang Zhizhou said was true, and everyone became more at ease.I'm sorry to say too much, but it seems that everything in Gyeongju is still under the command of Wang Zhizhou, and I can do whatever I want!
Next, Wang Shao remained silent as always, so there was no objection.However, Wang Shao's time in Gyeongju was too short, and his qualifications were not very deep.He didn't make any great feats, and the suppression of Li Fugui didn't convince the soldiers completely, so Wang Shao's prestige was still a bit weak.

As time passed, some people began to doubt whether it was Wang Zhizhou's condition and mentality.Is it a well-thought-out plan, or is it helpless and helpless?Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried about the soldiers stationed in Dashun City.

Could it be that the soldiers of Dashun City will repeat the same mistakes?The last time the soldiers stationed were all burned to death by Li Fugui, will they die again this time when Zhizhou does not act?All of a sudden, in the eyes of many Gyeongju people, Dashun City has become an ominous place.Not to mention the many dangers, it is not welcomed by the unknown state at all.

Because of this, there was even a rumor circulating in the city, saying that because Lin Zhao, the commander of Dashun City, offended Wang Xianggong, he instructed Wang Shao to deliberately arrange Lin Zhao in a dangerous place in Dashun City, and then deliberately aroused Xixia's attention. Exploding, and then deliberately delaying the rescue, is to use the hands of the Xixia people to kill Lin Zhao.

Another case of borrowing a knife to kill someone and avenging a private revenge.

Regarding these situations, Wang Shao was also secretly startled. He never expected that things would develop to this point, and the rumors were too shocking. At this moment, he also truly realized what it means to be fearful of human words.Fortunately, it is in Gyeongju in the northwest, where he has absolute power and authority. He can completely ignore these rumors and even take extraordinary measures to curb them.If he was in Bianjing, he would be unable to do anything if he was subjected to such suspicion and impeachment.

Who is it that speculates and thinks so badly of himself?Wang Shao was loyal to Emperor Zhao Xu, and was also grateful for Wang Anshi's kindness, but it would be absolutely nonsense to say that he accepted Wang Anshi's order to frame Lin Zhao because of this.

It was admitted that he purposely arranged Lin Zhao in Dashun City, and it was deliberate.But his starting point... Lin Zhao is a young and promising general, especially familiar with Hehuang's situation, it can be said to be a treasure to him, and it is too late to reuse him, so how could he have the heart to do harm?

If Lin Zhao is really not rescued and killed with a knife, it means that Dashun City will also be in danger, and even if the city is destroyed and people die, Dashun City will also fall.How can an upright man of the Han family, a loyal man who has read sage books, disregard the interests of the country?Is Yu Paoze's life in disregard?How can you sit and wait for something nasty?The most direct result is that if Dashun City is lost, what good will it do for me?

Wang Shao felt wronged, he didn't know who it was?What is the purpose of spreading such rumors?It's really troublesome to put yourself into such a situation of infidelity and injustice.But right now, she must not be swayed by rumors, but she can't explain much.

Forget it, if you walk upright and walk straight, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright, just wait first.The current appearance of things can't explain anything, only the final result can explain the problem.I believe there will be a day when the truth comes out, and everyone can see whether I am innocent or not.

In many cases, no explanation is the best explanation, and facts and time will be the best witnesses.

So Wang Shao continued to stand still with peace of mind, completely in a dormant state, dormant only to wait for the opportunity!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fuzhou, Zhefu!
Zhe Wenxin returned from Bianjing, and after breaking up with Lin Zhao in Guanzhong, he returned directly to Fuzhou.The big event in Bianjing was over, and then they got married directly. After many things happened, they naturally had to come back and tell the elder brother and report to the family.

Although it is Mrs. Lin, the label of Zhejia girl on Zhewenxin is still obvious and important.

Furthermore, Fulang Linzhao was on the front line in Gyeongju, and his family members were not allowed to accompany the army, so Zhe Wenxin just had to leave temporarily and return to Fuzhou alone, waiting for the day when the husband and wife were reunited.

As soon as he returned to Fuzhou, Zhewenxin immediately became the focus of Zhejia.

There are two reasons. One is because of Zhewenxin's correct decision-making and rash actions, which saved Zhejia from a catastrophe and passed a crisis calmly.What happened with the war horse last time really made them very embarrassed, and many people were worried for a long time.From this perspective, Zhewenxin is the hero of Zhejia.Especially after seeing Wang Shao's series of deeds in Gyeongju, the Zhe family has a deep understanding.

The second reason is that Zhewenxin is married, and the marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager. This is an honor that the Zhe family has never had before, and it naturally attracts attention.

So as soon as Zhewenxin came back, a circle of close people surrounded him.

"Seventh Sister, I didn't expect you to marry and become a woman after going out. It's really fast!"

"Yeah, our proud seventh girl is married, why does it sound so unreal?"

It was Zhewenxin's sisters who were talking, some of them were older than her but never married, so Zhewenxin who was married was very curious, especially about marriage and husband-in-law.

"Okay, you guys are going to get married soon." Zhe Wenxin was a bit overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to prevaricate.

"Where's the new uncle? I'm still waiting for him to come back with you to see what he is like. He stole the hearts of our Seventh Girl, and he dared to disregard the family and leave the family!"

Speaking of this matter, the Orie family was a little uncomfortable.Think back when Zhewenxin ran away from home, they also complained a lot, and even accused them constantly.But the final outcome proved that Zhewenxin's decision was correct, and eliminated a hidden danger for Zhejia. Those who opposed it at the beginning undoubtedly had a shameful face, and it was inevitable to feel guilty and embarrassed when mentioning this matter.

"He is now ordered to go to Gyeongju. When the war is over, he will come to Fuzhou to meet everyone." Zhe Wenxin couldn't help feeling a little happy.Husband is very capable, handsome and unrestrained, with a good-looking talent, and he is completely capable of showing off. He came to Fuzhou to give her face, and the most important thing is to have a deep relationship with each other.With such a good husband, it's totally okay to show off and show off.

"Really? So, it won't be long before we can see the new uncle?"

"Haha, I want to see who made Seventh Aunt lose her soul." It was Zhe Wenxin's niece Zhe Meifeng who was talking, but she was already thirteen or fourteen years old.

"By the way, I heard that Seventh Sister's marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager. It's really an infinite honor!" For a long time, the Zhe family didn't associate themselves with the royal family, and this was the first time for Zhe Wenxin.

"Yes, Seventh Sister's face is really extraordinary."

Zhe Wenxin shook her head and said: "Where, the Empress Dowager is aiming at Sister Chai's face, but she is just helping us." Regarding the fact that she is a flat wife, she is outspoken and does not hide it. This kind of thing is completely concealed. is useless.Zhewenxin doesn't think there is any shame in being a flat wife, so she doesn't take it seriously.

"It turns out that the girl who can make Seventh Girl willingly take the back seat must be extraordinary!"

"I heard that she is uncle Cao Guo's adopted daughter, and the number one beauty in Bianjing..."

The Zhe family was a little bit aggrieved at first, and it seemed aggrieved that the daughter of the Zhe family could not be his wife.However, after learning of Chai Minyan's identity, they were also dejected.What's more, Zhewenxin is happy with himself, so what can we say?
The Zhe family chattered a lot, focusing on Lin Zhao, chatting and joking in various ways, which made Zhe Wenxin a little embarrassed.After answering shyly for a while, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I found an excuse and ran away.

Just as he walked to the front yard, someone came and shouted: "Miss Seven, I have a call from you, and I have news from Qingzhou."

Gyeongju?

Zhe Wenxin's eyes lit up immediately, her eldest brother Zhe Kexing didn't have such a big face, the key was that the Gyeongju news was too attractive to her, so she rushed into the study in three steps at a time.

"Brother, is there any news from Qingzhou?" Zhe Wenxin asked in a hurry as soon as he entered the door.

Zhe Kexing couldn't help laughing and said: "People say that girls are extroverted, and that's true. After only a few days of marriage, I only have my husband in my heart, and I don't have an elder brother!"

"Brother!" Zhe Wenxin blushed suddenly, and acted coquettishly.

Zhe Kexing continued to smile and said: "It seems that my brother-in-law is really extraordinary. In a few days, you have already learned to act like a baby. It is really rare and not easy!"

"Brother, what happened in Gyeongju?" Zhe Wenxin was so shy that he pouted his mouth, pretending to be displeased to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhe Kexing then said: "Okay, okay, just don't say anything for brother. As you wish, there is news from Qingzhou, including news about my brother-in-law."

"Oh!" Zhewenxin was not polite, and didn't need so much unnecessary reserve, and immediately stepped forward to accept the letter.

As she watched, Zhe Kexing explained: "Wang Shao appointed him as the deputy general of Dashun City, and now he has gone to Dashun City, but Xixia's reaction is a bit troublesome..."

Zhewenxin over there had already read the military newspaper, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Liang Yibu, Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom, personally led an army to storm Dashun City!He was in danger, and Zhe Wenxin suddenly became a little confused.The so-called caring leads to chaos. Zhe Wenxin knows that Lin Zhao came to the northwest to fight in the army, and he is likely to encounter danger.

He seemed to be in a relatively calm mood before, but when he really learned about the situation, especially in such a critical situation, he immediately became a little anxious.

"Wen Xin, don't worry." Zhe Kexing didn't want to tell the younger sister at first, but he knew that the younger sister missed her husband very much. Even if he didn't tell her, she would know sooner or later, so he just let her have a psychological preparation.

"What's the situation in Dashun City, did Wang Shao send someone to rescue it?" Zhe Wenxin himself was very accomplished in military strategy, so he could see the problem at a glance, and asked directly.

"Not for the time being. There is no movement in Qingzhou. It is said that in order to besiege Dashun City, the Xixia people set up an ambush on the periphery. Qingzhou dare not send troops rashly."

"That's it, but Liang Yibu, Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom, led ten times as many troops to attack Dashun City, Lin Lang's situation is probably very bad!"

In Zhewenxin's beautiful eyes, there is a little more worry!
