Chivalrous Song Dynasty

The first two days went very smoothly. Bai Sheng asked the army to deliberately avoid the urban areas of the counties along the way, and often bypassed the outskirts of the city. The army in the sixteen prefectures of Yun regained the lost ground, so they will no longer be held accountable.With troops of this size crossing the border, the Xiang army in the prefectures and counties didn't have the ability to pursue them even if they wanted to. The difference was whether they had to report to Bianjing.

On the morning of the third day, the team had already arrived at Jizhou, which is near Tianjin in later generations. When they were walking, Zhu Dian sent scout horses in front and rushed back, saying that the vanguard cavalry encountered a large group of soldiers from the Song Dynasty on the way. Bing, the two sides are already in conflict, and ask Bai Sheng how to deal with it.

Asking how to deal with this kind of thing is nothing more than two choices, one is to endure the anger and avoid it, and the other is to fight to the death, but the opponent is the regular army of the Song Dynasty after all, although it is a rout, it is also a regular army wearing the uniform of the imperial army , if you do it to your death, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for Bai Sheng.

After hearing the report, Bai Sheng was very surprised. It was obvious that the army had not moved food and grass first. If Tong Guan's army had already reached the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, what would they eat and drink?Just feed on the enemy?He believed that Tong Guan did not have this ability.

To support war with war is to feed on the enemy. That has always been the magic weapon of nomads. Except for Di Qing, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty basically did not know this. If they go further to find such talents, they can only be Han Huo Qubing of the dynasty.

Therefore, he felt that this rout could not be Tong Guan's army, Tong Guan's army should still be in Henan and preparing to cross the river.

But if this group of so-called Forbidden Army is not Tong Guan's army, who should it be?Since it is the uniform of the forbidden army, it cannot be the local Xiang army or the frontier army at the border.

Furthermore, even if they are defeated, they shouldn't run in the direction of Shandong, right?If you run directly to Bianliang, you shouldn't be on this road.

With doubts, he mobilized the Zhaoye Jade Lion to meet him, and came to a hilly area. From a distance, he saw two groups of troops confronting each other on the flat ground beside the hill. The army in the uniform of the imperial army was indeed in the north, but they just dropped their helmets and armor. At first glance, it was defeated by people. There were more than [-] defeated soldiers, and to the south were [-] cavalry led by Zhu Dian and Hu Yanzhuo.

The two armies confronted each other, and on the empty field in the middle, there were many corpses lying here and there, one of them was killed on the spot, and he was still there crying out in pain.

His eyesight is so sharp, he has already recognized the leader of this group of defeated soldiers before the cavalry around him can guide him. Isn't this Zhan Zhao's grandson Zhan Renlong?

How did he come to Tianjin?Moreover, he was defeated by others, by whom?

Zhan Renlong was talking to Zhu Tong: "Even if you are delivering food and grass to the army? If you dare to block the way of our imperial army, I will let my subordinates kill you!"

Of course Zhu Ting didn't know who Zhan Renlong was, and he spoke very toughly: "Don't brag, can you? You can kill people just because of your defeated soldiers? If it weren't for your skin For the sake of this, I wouldn't persuade these brothers of mine just now!"

It was not Zhu Dian who persuaded the cavalry not to kill, but Hu Yanzhuo. Hu Yanzhuo used to be the commander of the army and horse capital in Runing County, and he was more than one level higher than Zhu Dian, who was the head of the horse army in Yuncheng County.Of course he knew that the imperial army could not be killed, and killing them was like stabbing a hornet's nest.

At the moment when the two sides first encountered each other, the soldiers on both sides did not hold the fire, and fought directly, but when he saw that the other party was the imperial army, he had to persuade his men to retreat. He felt that Bai Sheng dared to do this. Breaking through, but the premise is that Bai Sheng is willing to make this trouble, what if Bai Sheng is not willing?If I, a young cavalryman, provoked the matter first, and then let Bai Sheng wipe my ass, I might not have a good fruit to eat.

"Isn't this the owner of the exhibition hall?" Now that Bai Sheng has come, he can no longer let Zhu Dian talk about things, and Zhu Dian can't grasp the scale well. He rode his horse forward, leading Zhu Dian by a horse's head, and continued: " The owner of the exhibition hall is so superb in martial arts, how could he fall into such a state?"

As soon as Zhan Renlong saw Bai Sheng, he couldn't get angry. No wonder this gang of mobs were so arrogant. It turned out that you, Bai Sheng, were behind them, so he said, "Isn't this Bai Xianfeng? What? Bai Xianfeng Dislike our Great Song's imperial guards for being too good at fighting, and can't reflect the demeanor of your Great Song God of War, did you deliberately recruit this Xinpi idiot to show off your skills?"

That's right, back then on the other side of the Yellow River outside the city of Xingqing Mansion, he did accompany Tong Guan to witness Bai Sheng's bravery, and he was once ashamed of himself, but now his status is not what it used to be, not to mention who is superior in martial arts and who is inferior , just talking about the official position, now he is the pioneer official of Zhengyin in the front part personally selected by Tong Guan, while Bai Sheng's pioneer officer has become a thing of the past.

Everyone is a general of the Great Song Army. I Zhan Renlong is a vanguard officer, and you Bai Sheng is a food supervisor. Do you have to ask who is superior and who is inferior?

There is no need to talk about the level of martial arts, we only talk about the size of the position with you, the first level of the official will crush people to death, others will crush them, and I will crush them too.

It's just that he didn't reveal his latest identity at the first time, but wanted to mock Bai Sheng first, and then reveal his official position when Bai Sheng became angry, so that Bai Sheng could not advance or retreat, and taste the feeling of riding a tiger. .

Sure enough, Bai Sheng's reaction hit his chest, Bai Sheng said: "Stop talking nonsense, when will you give me that Zhanlu sword you owe me? You are a big old man, why do you talk like farting? Lose!" If you don’t admit it, it’s really not a small thing for a person like you to still live to this day.”

The so-called beating does not slap people in the face, and swearing does not reveal faults.Zhan Renlong didn't expect Bai Sheng to expose this short story as soon as he came up, and his old face blushed immediately, and he lost the mood to tease Bai Sheng, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Sheng, do you know who you are talking to?"

"I'm talking to you like a dragon, what's wrong? Could it be that you are not human and can't understand human speech?"

Ever since meeting him for the first time in Jiankang City, Bai Sheng didn't know why, but he was particularly annoyed by Zhan Renlong, so he was even more impatient when talking to Zhan Renlong.

Chapter 920

What Bai Sheng didn't know was that Zhan Renlong used to write off him. Although Cai You announced that Bai Sheng's lifespan was only three days, he didn't say that the news came from Zhan Renlong.

Later, when Bai Sheng wanted to settle accounts with Cai You, Cai You was exiled to Qiongzhou. Bai Sheng would not make a special trip to Hainan Island to find someone because of this matter, because even if he found Cai You, he would not be able to kill anyone. After all, Cai You is Cai Jing's son. Although the father and son have different political views, they are still blood relatives. No matter how openly and secretly they fight in the court, they can't rise to the point of killing each other, let alone Bai Sheng.

Since then, he has never seen Cai You, and he has not been able to find out where the three-day life Cai You said came from. Guess the date of his death.

That's why Zhan Renlong was able to live in this world well. If Bai Sheng had known that he had used such a deadly method on himself, could he not take revenge?

Even so, Bai Sheng was still very annoyed by Zhan Renlong, because this person was on the opposite side from the moment he appeared, and later encountered several times in the capital, even though the two did not have much direct dialogue, they always maintained A feeling of being out of place.

But no matter what, it is true that Bai Sheng has never had the opportunity to teach the opponent a lesson with his strength, so now Bai Sheng can't guess where Zhan Renlong's domineering confidence comes from. Could it be that he thinks my martial arts are not as good as yours?

But he didn't know that it was Tong Guan and the emperor's power to fight the dragon, and it was the practice of officials and senior officials to crush people to death.

So he was very rude when he opened his mouth, just in time to catch up with troubles coming one after another in the past few days, a lot of anger was suffocated in his heart and there was no place to vent, and Zhan Renlong wanted to rush to pretend to be aggressive at this juncture, so what is there to be polite?

Zhan Renlong thought that Bai Sheng didn't know his current status, and when he saw Bai Sheng's disrespectful words, he was furious and said, "Well, Bai Sheng, when you were in Xixia, you had no commander and trampled on military discipline. The food supervisor dared to be so arrogant, it is really hopeless! To tell you the truth, the owner of this museum is now the front part of the Northern Expedition Army of the Song Dynasty, and the pioneer officer of Zhengyin! Why don’t you come here quickly to pay respects?”

Bai Sheng patiently listened to this passage.Immediately, there was a feeling of dumbfounding, and it happened to be located in the border of Tianjin. You might as well use a Tianjin Wei dialect to express your feelings at this time-what is Jie Nima pretending to be?Do you think the pioneer officer of Song Dynasty is a cadre?

He didn't directly slap people in the face, but turned around and asked Zhu Dian and Hu Yanzhuo, "You two, who told him that I, Bai Sheng, became the food supervisor?"

Zhu Ting felt a little bitter in his heart. It was he who told Zhan Renlong that Bai Sheng was the grain supervisor. His original intention was not to use a grain supervisor to suppress people. Knowing what kind of official is big and what is small, he just didn't want the flood to wash up the Dragon King Temple, so he reported the composition of his team and who the military chief is.

But now it seems that Bai Sheng doesn't want to be the food supervisor at all, so has he offended the leader by what he said just now?Thinking about it, if Bai Sheng is willing to accept the job of the grain supervisor like Song Jiang, he will not give up the grain and grass in Zengtou City, nor will he go directly to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures without returning to Jeju Prefecture.

In fact, we can’t blame Zhu Ting entirely for this matter. Bai Sheng never clearly told his subordinates what he wanted to do when he led the army to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. of.

Even if his actions show that he refuses to be the food supervisor, others will think that he thinks that the position of food supervisor is too low, and the task is too easy, so he can't make any great achievements, so he personally leads troops to fight Yanyun , thus competing with Tong Guan for merit.

Seeing Zhu Dian hesitatingly wanting to say something but not daring to say it, Bai Sheng already understood the truth, waved his hand to signal Zhu Dian not to feel guilty, and said, "It's not your fault, it's because I didn't explain it clearly."

Then he turned his head to look at Zhan Renlong and said, "If you think you can suppress me with this little official who is as big as a sesame mung bean, then you are wrong, let alone you, even if Tong Guan is here, he can't control me Bai Sheng."

Bai Sheng has always had a habit of defeating the opponent in the field that the opponent thinks is the strongest. He feels that if this is not the case, even if he kills the opponent, the opponent will not be convinced.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No matter whether it is subjugation or killing, in the end, you have to be convinced if you are alive, and you have nothing to say when you are dead.

Just now, he already had murderous intentions towards Zhan Renlong, and wanted to solve this stumbling block simply and neatly, but now his thoughts have changed again, since you Zhan Renlong wants to use his official position as an issue, then let you stay first One life, let you know that you are too far behind in official positions, not to mention you, even Tong Guan can't do it.

From this, he even came up with a new idea, if you want to compete with Bai Sheng for power, even if you bring out Zhao Ji!

How can Zhan Renlong believe this?He followed Tong Guan from Xixia all the way back to the Central Plains, passing through the Xixia cities occupied by Bai Sheng along the way. Tong Guan wanted to carry out the emperor's will and let the guards of these cities hand over the management rights to Xixia. Noticing, he didn't pay much attention to Tong Shumi, Generalissimo Zhengxi.

The arrogant behavior of Bai Sheng's subordinates made the eunuch so angry that he wanted to use force to recover these cities for Xixia, but the defense of these cities was extremely strong. Considering that this is not the responsibility of Xizheng after all, it is better to go back to the capital and file a complaint in front of the officials.

Tong Guan didn't choose to fight under Xixia and Bai Sheng's men, but his heart was full of anger. He talked about Bai Sheng's crimes with his generals along the way, and the more he talked, the more he hated him, and he just said it back. First report to the official, and then calculate the ledger with Bai Sheng.

Zhan Renlong took Tong Guan's statement into his eyes and took it to heart. Now that he heard Bai Sheng say this, of course it was right in his arms. He didn't dare to fight Bai Sheng in the first place. Talk about big officials and small officials, that's good, you can't blame me for being a dragon if you want to die yourself.

In terms of official position, Tong Guan is now the Marshal of the Northern Expedition. In terms of martial arts, maybe my martial arts is not as good as you Bai Sheng, but Tong Guan is a character that even Zhou Tong dare not underestimate. Can it go against the sky?

So he said: "Very well, then you can go with me to see Dashuai Tong, I want to see how Dashuai Tong can't control you."

Bai Sheng shook his head and said: "You are wrong again, you have to let Tong Guan come to see me, not me to see Tong Guan, I see the direction of your march, Tong Guan must be still behind, how about it, you go and follow Tong Guan said, I, Bai Sheng, will be waiting for him in Yanjing."

Zhan Renlong burst out laughing when he heard the words, and said to himself, do you mean to win Yanyun first and compete with Marshal Tong?Go dreaming!

Bai Sheng took down Li Qianshun and Li Ruolan in Xixia with only a group of miscellaneous troops. Of course no one knew about this at first, but with the passage of time, all the strange things came to light. Tong Guan led the five-way army to conquer Xi, there has never been a serious battle at all, even if no one publicizes this matter, but those imperial soldiers who have already prepared to bury their bones in the yellow sand, can they have no clue in their hearts?

In fact, what Tong Guan hated Bai Sheng the most was this matter. Bai Sheng took all the credit that belonged to him. Among the Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the frontier army, Bai Sheng's prestige has far surpassed Tong Guan's, and this is what he can't bear the most.

Of course, Zhan Renlong, who has been with the army on the western expedition, also knows about this. Hearing Bai Sheng say this, of course he thinks that Bai Sheng still wants to copy the miracle of Xixia, and wants to take the first place by Yan Yun, so as to prevent Tong Guan from coming down. .
