King of Song

Chapter 386 Qingjian City

Inadvertently, Wang Mengye had such inexplicable hatred for Lin Zhao.

Maybe it was a kind of jealousy, he was too afraid of losing the favor of Queen Mother Liang, so anyone who made the slightest threat would have a strong reaction.

Especially when Empress Dowager Liang was having a good time with herself, she was still talking about this person. It was really a great insult, which made Wang Mengxuan even more unhappy.

It was precisely because of this that he began to deliberately pay attention to everything about Lin Zhao.

It is said that the beautiful Song Dynasty chick in the team is his wife. Wang Mengye once had a very perverted thought. If he conquered his woman, would it be revenge?But the Empress Dowager Liang has a strict order that Zhe Wenxin, a female prisoner of the Song Dynasty, guards the forest, and no one can touch her.

Wang Mengxuan had no choice but to give up, but the hatred in his heart did not dissipate because of this, on the contrary, it became more and more intense.

snort!I heard that he came to Suizhou to negotiate on behalf of the Song Dynasty?This is a good opportunity!Wang Mengye couldn't help but feel a little eager to move, if he could find a chance to take revenge on him, that would be the best.

"Don't worry about the Empress Dowager, she is just a brat, and the Prime Minister is just a momentary carelessness. Let's be more cautious today, so we won't be afraid of him!" Wang Menghui advised the Empress Dowager Liang in time. , more and more thinking about revenge.

Empress Dowager Liang didn't know, and couldn't understand.Why do the two most important men around me somehow get into a fight with Lin Zhao?Fortunately, he didn't know, otherwise he would definitely be more curious about Lin Zhao and even more jealous, thus falling into a vicious circle...

"Maybe, don't take it lightly! Let Tuobashi talk with Song Dynasty, and you will help stabilize it behind the scenes and cooperate with related matters. After all, I can't show up easily." After Queen Mother Liang ordered, Rao He said with interest: "I want to see, what are your abilities? What kind of person are you?"

Empress Dowager Liang's beautiful eyes sparkled, she was extremely curious and looking forward to it.

Lin Zhao, after seeing this scene, Wang Meng felt more and more unhappy!
But she didn't want to, and the Queen Mother Liang asked again: "Is there any news about Lin Zhao? Where is he now?"

"Back to the queen mother, I heard that I was in Yanzhou a few days ago, but now I am afraid that I have arrived in Qingjian City, and I will arrive in Suizhou soon!" Watch his every move.

"Really?" Empress Dowager Liang sneered, and said leisurely: "So, we will see him soon?"

Wang Mengye's heart became more and more bitter, and his hatred for Lin Zhao became more and more intense.Of course, he was most worried about Queen Mother Liang's thoughts.

How to win the favor of Empress Dowager Liang is always his top priority.In addition to the space between the beds, there is...beauty is a common problem among women, and jade and gemstones are their favorite!
It's almost time to go to Suizhou when I want to come to jewelry. I think the Queen Mother will like it.

In order to come to Suizhou, many things have become extremely troublesome, alas!Lin Zhao, oh Lin Zhao, I owe it all to you, and I will always ask you to repay it twice in the future!

Wang Mengyu didn't know that his jewelry was indeed on the way to Suizhou, but the delivery person changed, and it was Lin Zhao, whom he hated so much, who sent it here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wang Mengxuan's jealousy and hatred are inexplicable, and to Lin Zhao, it is a disaster without reason.

He also didn't know it at all, he didn't know that someone in Suizhou was already thinking about him, and at the moment he was on his way to Qingjian City with all his strength.

Qingjian City, that is, Qing/jian/county in northern Shaanxi in later generations.It is located in the northwest of Yanzhou, north of Yanzhou, Suizhou in the northwest, and Linzhou and Fuzhou in the northeast along the Yellow River.It can be said that it is an important place in the northwest, but it is also an important military town.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Qingjian City belonged to Shaanxi Road and was garrisoned by Yongxing Army.From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Dao period, it was once occupied by Xixia, and the county was abolished.In the first year of Kangding, Zhong Shiheng sent troops to defeat Xixia and regain the lost land.

In the first year of Qingli, Song Renzong gave up the offensive policy of fighting against Xia, and adopted Fan Zhong'an's defensive policy instead.Fan Zhong'an carried out corresponding measures such as repairing and strengthening border towns, refining soldiers, and recruiting subordinates.To build a solid border city is to build a fortress and establish a military stronghold at the forward position at the junction of the Song and Xia Dynasties.Zhong Shiheng, a subordinate of Fan Zhong'an, suggested that a city be built on the former fortress of Kuanzhou, [-] miles northeast of Yanzhou.It is located at an important point, with Yanzhou on the right, grain from Shanxi on the left, and Tuyin and Xiazhou on the north.Fan Zhong'an adopted this opinion and sent Zhong Shiheng to lead his troops to build it. Xia Bing came to fight, and Zhong Shiheng rushed to repair it while fighting.

There was a lack of water in the city, so he paid a lot of money for digging a well, and finally a clear spring emerged from 150 feet underground, so it was named Qingjian City, and then it was assigned to Yanyan Road.The city has been continuously expanded and reinforced, and has reached a considerable scale, becoming an indispensable military fortress for the Northwest Defense Line.

More importantly, the Zhongjia army, which is well-known in the northwest, is stationed here, and has repeatedly made military exploits in the battle against Xixia. (Historically, it was not until the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084) that the place name of Qingjian City was officially determined, here it is ahead of schedule)

Now, Zhong Shiheng has passed away, but his sons have inherited their father's business, and he has not been ashamed.Zhong Er, Zhong Yong and others are all well-known heroes in the Western Army, and the Zhong Family Army has also become a golden signboard, well-known in the Northwest.

This time, Lin Zhao went to Suizhou for peace talks.Although everyone hopes, or thinks, that the peace talks can be successful, it is only a matter of time before the war ends.

But as long as Xixia has not withdrawn its troops, vigilance and defense are necessary.Especially the Suizhou area is undoubtedly the focus of the key points and cannot be ignored.

Ever since, Han Jiang specially ordered Zhong Er to cooperate, on the one hand to guard against the Xixia army's sneak attack, and at the same time to be ready to meet Lin Zhao who was negotiating in Suizhou at any time.No one knows, will something bad happen in Suizhou?Be careful sailing for thousands of years, and it is always right to prepare early.

Although Han Jiang had already said hello, Lin Zhao still had to communicate in person. After all, it happened to be on the way, and building a good relationship with the family would only benefit and not harm his future development.

Going all the way from Yanzhou, the distance to Qingjian City is not very far.On the way, I passed a huge river with a lot of water. The river surface and runoff looked quite powerful, which was completely different from the ordinary small rivers and streams in the northwest.

Lin Zhao asked curiously, "What kind of river is this? It has such a large amount of water!"

"Back to Lin Shilang, this is Wuding River!" The accompanying guide gave an answer!
Wuding River?Is this Wuding River?
In an instant, Lin Zhao thought of the phrase "poor Wuding Riverside, still a person in a spring girl's dream"!How cruel the war is is vividly reflected in the poems. Wudinghe became the representative because of this song "Long Westward Journey", and became the final destination of many expeditionary soldiers.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao felt that the pressure on this trip was much greater.This trip rescues Zhe Wenxin, and at the same time, it also promotes a truce so that the war-torn people in the Northwest can recuperate.As for how many years can live in peace?Lin Zhao couldn't tell.If he has the ability, Lin Zhao hopes that this time will last forever...

I just don't know if the Xixia people give face?However, regardless of whether the trip went well or not, Lin Zhao firmly believed in one thing, that he would never lose the dust.

When will the history of Wuding River be rewritten?Lin Zhao continued on his way with a complicated mood.

When he was still twenty miles away from Qingjian City, he saw someone waiting by the side of the road, who seemed to have come to greet him.If you take a closer look, who is it if you are not a kind of teacher?There is also a young man beside him, who also looks extraordinary.After some introductions, I realized that it turned out to be his younger brother Zhong Shizhong.

The old and the young are good friends!These are the influential figures in the Northwest in the future, and they are also the two most outstanding juniors of the Zhong family, who came to welcome them together.It can be seen that the Zhong family treated him very politely!
"Welcome Lin Shilang to set foot in Qingjian City!" Zhong Shidao laughed, the old friend reunited, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Xian Kunzhong came out to welcome me, and I am flattered, I can't bear it!"

The teacher had never dealt with Lin Zhao before, but he looked very familiar, and said with a smile, "Where? Lin Shilang is the benefactor of my family. If it weren't for you, how could the fourth uncle come back safely? It should be!"

When Chong Yong was wrongly imprisoned by Li Fugui, Lin Zhao went to Qingzhou to investigate and solve the problem, but he was also framed.Later, after Lin Zhao's case was clarified, Zhong Yong was released from prison, not to mention his reinstatement, and compensation.The most important thing is that Li Fugui's framing was not established, and the reputation of the Chong family was preserved without being affected.

Although it was not Lin Zhao who rescued him directly, he was released from prison because of Lin Zhao... What's more, Lin Zhao was framed because of their family.Therefore, the Zhong family has always remembered this kindness, thinking of repaying it.It's just that Lin Zhao always felt that he didn't do anything, and he was somewhat ashamed.

"Brother Xiaozhong, you are too polite, Lin Zhao is really ashamed!" Lin Zhao gave Mr. Zhong a unique title, and smiled inwardly, let him do an internship as a manager for the future!

"Don't be polite in Dongyang. It's hard to come to Qingjian City once. Hurry up and follow me into the city. I will be the host to clean up the wind and dust for you, so as to show the friendship of the landlord!" Zhong Shidao and Lin Zhaocai are really familiar with each other, especially after the That time they fought side by side in Dashun City.Not to mention, if Lin Zhao hadn't reminded him to take a step ahead, Zhong Shidao would have died under Li Fugui's knife.Lin Zhao's great kindness to the Zhong family makes sense here.Coupled with the rescue in the Bianjing law field, it can be said that they have formed a deep friendship with each other.

"Okay!" Lin Zhao was not polite, and walked hand in hand towards Qingjian City.

"Uncle has been talking about it all the time, but he didn't have the chance to meet Brother Dongyang. This time, his long-cherished wish can finally be fulfilled!"

"Where? It's my honor to have the opportunity to meet several old generals!" Lin Zhao really wanted to meet Zhong Er!

While talking, it won't be long before Qingjian City is in sight!
