Chapter 808

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

Around me, a large number of Song army soldiers with persistent savages were moving forward in the direction of the city.

"Bachelor, that is Hongzhou. Bachelor, you have been working hard for the past few days. After arriving in Hongzhou, you should have a good rest." A general beside him looked at Su Dongpo in front of him with some concern.

"I can't help it. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when I can see Hongzhou is safe. I don't know what the situation in Youzhou is now..." Su Dongpo waved his hand and breathed a breath of turbid air, and said with a little worried.

"There are no Liaoxia soldiers 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 answer.

Su Dongpo smiled happily and said, "I also feel that with that boy's ability, it is impossible for Liaoxia to break through the city of Youzhou that he has prepared for so long in a short time."

"Dong Qun, the magistrate of Hongzhou, have you seen Scholar Su..." Finally, at this moment, a civil servant hurriedly rushed over here and came to Su Dongpo's approaching, and bowed to Su Dongpo with a look of admiration and excitement.

"It turned out to be Judge Dong Tong. Please get up quickly. Now Hongzhou has a lot of trouble. The army must have arrived, right? Also, where is General Huang Shouxin? "

"Return to the bachelor, more than an hour ago, General Huang received a warning from the ancient city of Wuyan. He had already rushed over. Now the Dingbian army has 10,000, Qingzhou army, and 8,000 security troops have arrived at the city of Hongzhou to station." Dong Qun replied quickly.

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

"A large number of enemies were found fifty miles northwest of Wuyan Ancient City, with at least 50,000 or 60,000, and there were also a large number of siege weapons in the team..."

"General Huang was worried about the situation of Naiwangjing and Wuyan Ancient City, so he asked his subordinates to stay in Hongzhou to welcome the bachelor's degree. He rushed to the front line to find out the truth."

Su Dongpo's brows couldn't help but tightly lifted up. "A 50,000 or 60,000... means, the Liaoxia coalition outside the city of Youzhou began to divide the troops?"

"This, maybe this is possible." Dong Qun blinked and could only agree casually. After all, he was not a military general and was really not proficient in military affairs.

"Ru Lin, what do you think?" Su Dongpo's eyes fell on a civil servant who was nearly 40 years old and strong not far behind him.

"Bachelor, the lower officials think that it is probably the Liaoxia coalition that is very likely to realize that this Yuzhou is a very difficult bone. In order to prevent it from being able to capture for a long time and hurt the morale of the army, he decided to divide his troops south to find fighter jets."

"Yanzhou is too far away, not to mention that there must be connection between Liao and Xia. We should also know that Xingqing Prefecture has sent a large army to attack Yanzhou. Therefore, the purpose of this Liaoxia coalition is only Hongzhou."

This tall and burly middle-aged official, who was more like a general than a civilian official, analyzed the matter in an orderly manner, and Su Dongpo nodded frequently.

"It's worthy of being the talent that Wang Wushan strongly recommended to His Majesty. I really don't know where that kid knows about Rulin from this sect." Su Dongpo nodded slightly with satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh.

That kid is not yet twenty years old, and has already begun to take on the responsibilities of Bole? Shouldn’t this be something a middle-aged man over 50 years old like himself should do?

What’s important is that Zong Ze was just an unknown county magistrate and a county magistrate in Guantao County, Daming Prefecture. However, he let Wang Yang know about him and then recommended him to the emperor.

As a result, the emperor was half-believing and half-doubted, so he decided to send someone to secretly investigate Zong Ze's background. If he didn't check it, then he was really fucking a talent. He was actually the only one who was admitted to the imperial examination after he ascended the throne, and he could be regarded as his disciple of the emperor.

It should be that in the sixth year of Yuanyou, the court held a provincial examination and a palace examination. Zong Ze, who was 33 years old, passed the test and traveled thousands of miles to Kaifeng, the capital, to the provincial examination.

After Zong Ze passed the provincial examination (Ministry of Rites), he entered the palace examination. When Zong Ze was in the palace examination, he ignored the limit on the word count and wrote more than 10,000 words, trying to show the current problems. He also criticized the court for believing in Wu Chuhou's false accusation and exiling Cai Que, believing that "the disaster of the clique begins from now on."

This is Zong Ze's first political appearance, which fully reflects his strong demand to eliminate evil policies and his courage and determination to fight against evil forces.

The examiner at that time was Han Zhongyan, a neutral veteran driver. He admired Zong Ze's talent very much, but was worried that he would easily offend all the old ministers in the court. After thinking about it, Han Zhongyan finally placed Zong Ze in the last rank and gave him a "given the same Jinshi as a Jinshi."

Although Zong Ze failed to top the list, he passed the imperial examination and began to enter the official career. At the end of the eighth year of Yuanyou, Zong Ze was sent to Guantao County, Daming Prefecture to serve as a county magistrate and as a county magistrate. Less than a month after Zong Ze took office, he quickly and properly handled the county's litigation cases over the years, showing his ability to handle government affairs and won the trust and respect of his subordinates.

After working here, I went to Wangwushan to write to the emperor. Emperor Zhao Xu noticed him and learned that this person had excellent local governance skills, and was also full of strong determination to change the Song Dynasty.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he simply issued an edict to let Zong Ze enter the capital. After meeting the emperor, after several press conferences, the emperor appointed him to go to the newly occupied three prefectures on Shaanxi Road to take office.

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

Having said that, Zong Ze was also very confused at the beginning of the sudden favor of his fate. He worked diligently in Daming Mansion, just to work hard to prove his abilities.

After working for less than two years, I suddenly transferred myself to the capital military weapon supervision, and suddenly became a capital official. This is unscientific and mainly does not conform to the rules.

But what I never expected was that after coming to the capital to take office, I learned that my superior was His Highness Duan. In the military weapon surveillance, I even met Zi Zhao Xu today and had a few meetings.

What’s important is that the emperor actually seemed so approachable. He talked with him several times in depth, and even mentioned his strategy when he entered the imperial examination.
