Chapter 1210 Achievements (two updates combined into one)

Zhang Yue's carriage arrived outside Donghua Gate, and many officials who heard the news were already here.

Because the palace door was locked at midnight and could not be opened lightly, even the envoy who revealed his victory was blocked from the palace door.

The officials gathered here and saluted Zhang Yue when they saw him.

Dozens of officials saluted, and Zhang Yue waved his hand and asked, "Where is Lubu? Where is the messenger?"

Immediately, a messenger who was so exhausted that he lost his shape was brought to Zhang Yue, and presented Lubu and Xinhan with both hands. Zhang Yue asked others to check the messenger token.

After a high chair was put down, Zhang Yue sat down and took the cloth to look at, and then looked at the letters, lacquer, seals and other items.

There were endless cases of counterfeit letters in the Song Dynasty. Although it was announced that the announcement was successful, what if it was false news? The people of Kaifeng Prefecture were fooled around, and the prime minister brought false news to congratulate the emperor. This undoubtedly became a big joke.

His face was swollen from being beaten.

The people can be happy, but Zhang Yue needs to confirm the matter first.

Zhang Yue's face was calm, as if he was as calm as an ancient well.

All the dignitaries lowered their hands and stood in silence behind the backs of their chairs.

After confirming that the tokens signed by each other were correct, Zhang Yue said to the captain on the ground: "Yes, Sun Lu, the general manager, ordered you to come."

"Replying to my husband, it was Fan Jinglue who sent a villain to hold the cloth."

"Where was Fan Jinglue when Liangzhou City was destroyed?"

"I told you that Fan Jinglue was at Yujing Pass. He sent a horse to find out what was going on. Liangzhou has been defeated on three sides... the city has been destroyed!"

Zhang Yue heard this and asked: "Three sides of the city have been defeated, but Liangzhou City has not yet been captured!"

Zhang Yue's words stopped and the envoy suddenly started to sweat profusely. The officials around him also held their breaths.

"This is what I would like to report back to my husband."

The envoy did not dare to say a word, so Zhang Yue put the letter with the exposed cloth aside. Huang Lu said to the kneeling envoy beside him: "Although the city is broken on three sides, we should not be in a hurry to repay the victory with the exposed cloth. Sun Jinglue has been hasty in this matter."

A little bit."

"This is none of your business, just rest for now!"

Zhang Yue put the letter aside and said, "Let's wait until Wang Hou and Cai Bian's gold medal arrives!"

Zhang Yue sat outside the palace with his eyes closed. At this time, the governors also arrived one after another. After all, Wang Gui was too old to arrive, so he didn't arrive.

It was almost the fourth watch at this time, and the people in Bianjing City were still celebrating.

But the Donghua Gate was very quiet. The officials who arrived one after another saw that all the officials were standing behind Zhang Yue, including Zeng Xiaokuan, the Deputy Privy Councilor.

No one had any objections, and the prime minister was courteous to all officials.

An official whispered: "Obviously the three sides of the city have been destroyed and we can win. Why don't you allow it?"

Another official said: "Prime Minister Zhang uses this to establish his authority!"

One person said: "I don't think so. Fan Jinglue is not the prime minister's confidant, so the prime minister doesn't believe what he said. He has to wait until Cai Bian and Wang Hou speak."

"I think the frontline generals are doing everything they can to gain credit. Everyone is rushing to claim victory. This is not the case twice. The prime minister previously focused on the overall situation, so he didn't care about it. But when it came to such a big thing as capturing Liangzhou,

It’s better to be cautious.”

Zhang Yue closed his eyes and rested his mind.

I don’t know how long it took, but another group of people came rushing from a distance.

This time, Su Song, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, personally escorted him and brought hundreds of Kaifeng Prefecture officers.

They were surrounded by a gold medal messenger, and the bells in front of the horses were ringing loudly,

What was written was "Prince's writings are not allowed to enter the shop." Even in the night, the golden characters were dazzling, as if they were coming like lightning.

This kind of momentum is quite compelling.

When the gold medal envoy arrived in front of Donghua Gate, he was almost dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

The government officials on the side supported the other party.

Su Song personally took the gold-medal paint tube from the gold-medal envoy and brought it to Zhang Yue, who then cut open the paint tube himself.

Zhan started reading the letter.

Beside the towering palace walls of the imperial city, officials and servants held countless fires and hunted in the night wind.

Zhang Yue looked at him with confidence, and all the officials were silent.

But Zhang Yue finally concealed the letter and said with a slight smile: "Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain.

Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass."

"This Liangzhou poem is truly worthy of its reputation."

As soon as these words came out, the heavy stone hanging in the hearts of all the officials was finally put down, and all the officials celebrated each other.

Zhang Yue continued to browse everything in the letter.

Zhang Yue learned the specific information about Liangzhou from the letter. Although the report was jointly issued by Wang Hou and Cai Bian, it was Cai Bian's handwriting. Zhang Yue could still trust Cai Bian's work.

This letter of victory is also written in detail.

Weiming Ali, the supervisor of the Liangzhou army, committed suicide, and Ren Duoyading, the first general of the party, fell into the city and died along with hundreds of his subordinates.

After the city was broken, thousands of Party soldiers and horses preferred to die rather than surrender, and even died fighting in the streets with the Song army.

Two days before the city of Liangzhou was destroyed, Liang Yibu led the Xingling Fifteenth Army to aid Liangzhou, and had a bloody battle near Pangluoling with Miao Shuo, the magistrate of Huizhou who was responsible for the reinforcements.

As a result, the Song army suffered a small defeat in the three-day battle. Although they were waiting for work, three forts were breached, and the most elite Xihe Road Second Army suffered nearly half of its casualties.

Fortunately, Liang Yibu immediately retreated his troops after learning about the fall of Liangzhou.

When Zhang Yue heard this, he realized that Dangxiang still had loyal ministers and righteous men in this country, not only the generals, but also the soldiers at the bottom who were still bloody, and the strength of the regular army was not lost.

It seems that the energy is not exhausted yet.

I am not a person who covets temporary achievements. Isn't it better to wait for three to five years for the fruits to ripen and take advantage of them?

If Xia was to be destroyed immediately as told to the emperor, Zhang Yue felt that it was better not to take the risk. What's more, there was the variable of Liao Kingdom.

Dangxiang of the Liao Kingdom in the Song Dynasty was an ancient version of the Three Kingdoms.

And in Dangxiang, Song Dynasty, Qing Tang Dynasty, it is a mini version of the Three Kingdoms.

Now that Ali Gu is a variable, the situation is even more complicated.

Zhang Yue felt that it was better not to act rashly when the general situation was not yet clear.

He is patient, because the most powerful thing in the world is time, but the biggest enemy is also time.

No matter how powerful the empire is, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, they cannot withstand the passage of time.

And no matter how humble a person is, given time, he will eventually become a blockbuster.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister?" Huang Lu couldn't help but said when he saw Zhang Yue lost his mind, as well as Wang Anli and Xue Xiang who had just arrived.

The three of them and Su Song are Zhang Yue's confidants in the high hall.

Zhang Yue came back to his senses and everyone said: "I was just thinking about taking over the affairs of the world with intelligence and barbarism, and then guarding them with loyalty, benevolence and righteousness. This is what I had in mind when I read Han Dynasty and saw Zhang Huande's "wisdom and benevolence"."

"There are many examples from ancient times to the present of countries that have persisted in strength and perished."

"Use war and war together, Fang is the only means."

Several people said yes.

Zhang Yue stood up, put his hand on the back of the chair and said: "Jing Guogong's reform adopted stubbornness as a virtue and determination as a condition for success."

"I'm different, I just go with the flow."

Everyone said it was the way: "This is how it should be."

At this time, the palace door also opened.

Although it was a little earlier than the fifth watch, Shi Deyi, Song Yongchen, Li Xian and other officials' confidants came out in a hurry with hundreds of eunuchs wearing brocade coats and carrying lanterns.

Shi Deyi, Song Yongchen, and Li Xian saluted Zhang Yue and asked, "Prime Minister, is there any good news?"

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Liangzhou has arrived!"

Several chamberlains were almost overjoyed when they heard this. Shi De said: "The officials have been waiting for news from Liangzhou these days. We have been told to wake him up in the middle of the night if there is any news."

"But the official himself didn't sleep well for more than ten nights. Whenever someone in the palace walked by, he would ask if it was about the military situation in Liangzhou. He did this dozens of times."

"It happens to be tonight, and the officials are fast asleep for some reason, so we don't dare to disturb the news from outside. At this moment, the officials woke up and opened the palace gate in advance to ask the prime minister."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but thought that the official family was still the same as before.

"But fortunately, the official, the official... finally got what he wanted." Shi De was on the verge of crying. After hearing this, many of the officials had red eyes and silently wiped away tears.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty is like the backbone of the sky, sage and wise, making strategic decisions."

"The capture of Liangzhou this time is entirely dependent on His Majesty's military and literary tactics."

It is said that all officials are united.
