Ma Zhou smiled and said, "I feel that when I meet you, Erlang, I have met my destiny. If Long You doesn't die this time, he will definitely be able to turn around."
"Then do you still think you are not worthy of my eldest sister?"
"I'm afraid your eldest sister won't look down on me."
"I think my eldest sister thinks you are pretty good. I saw her look at you with respect and a bit of appreciation that day."
Lao Ma was a little embarrassed to be told by Huai Yu. When a person is humble and down, every candy given by others can always be remembered in the heart.
"Okay, thanks to Erlang for not giving up, and if Madam Wu doesn't dislike me, as long as I can get back from Longyou alive, I will come and propose marriage."
"Okay, it's settled, no regrets!"
Ma Zhou was also very happy and said, "I will create a written document for you." After saying that, he stopped writing in the diary and directly wrote a letter of commitment to Huaiyu, who solemnly accepted it.
As for the future prime minister, if he takes advantage of the current downturn to marry him, he will marry his eldest sister Xu. Now the eldest sister will be in trouble for the rest of her life, and even the Wu family will have a good backer in the future.
Huaiyu put it away carefully, smiled and crossed his arms at Ma Zhou, "I will call you brother-in-law from now on."
Ma Zhou responded, and his face actually turned red. It was obvious that Ma Zhou might really like Wu Yu'e. Of course, he didn't rule out that he was now in dire straits and wanted to get some glory from the Wu family's power. After all, the Wu family had a sect called San Gong.
Takejiro also had a wide network of contacts and met several new wealthy and famous families.
If Ma Zhou had had such an idea a few years ago, he would have immediately untied his shoelaces and hung himself in the woods. However, after years of frustration and depression, his mentality has also changed. He no longer
He is so arrogant and arrogant that he will never refuse the kindness offered by others.
He reassured himself in his heart that Wu Erlang was a very good person and his nobleman, the Wu family was also a good family, and Wu Yu'e was a very virtuous woman.
We are not bowing down to power, we just happen to meet a noble person.
Feeling sleepy, Huaiyu gradually fell asleep.
I was so tired from traveling that it was already dawn as soon as I fell asleep.
Ma Zhou was already helping him cook beef jerky and wheat rice porridge. When Huaiyu woke up smelling the smell of rice, Chen Xing and Zhao Xin were already loading equipment for Huaiyu's horse.
After arranging the horse, the two men came over to put the chain armor on Huaiyu and fasten the waistcoat. If it weren't for the fact that the Mingguang armor was too heavy, Huaiyu would have wanted to put the Mingguang armor on directly, in case of a surprise attack by the Turkic cavalry.
At least it can have more lives.
Huaiyu asked Lu Huairang, who was also wearing chain mail next to him, "What kind of person is General Chai?"
Lu Huaiyu is Chai Shao's brother-in-law. In fact, the age difference between the two is not that big. Chai Shao is only less than forty.
Chai Shao's hometown was Jinzhou, Hedong. He was the son of Chai Shen, the Duke of Julu County in the Sui Dynasty.
Mentioning Chai Shao, Lu Huairang gave a thumbs up, "You don't know, when we were young, Chai Shao was the role model that countless young people from Chang'an admired, the famous Chang'an Xia Shao, Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao, you know, right?
, the younger brother of the famous Sui Dynasty general Shi Wansui, he was known as the Chang'an Hero in his early years, but in fact Shi Wanbao had been hanging out with Chai Shao earlier,
So when Princess Pingyang Zhao raised troops in Guanzhong, Shi Wanbao and Li Shentong immediately raised troops in Hu County, recruiting more than 10,000 troops to defect to Princess Pingyang Zhao.
Chai Shao was born as a general in Guanlong. When he was young, he was already a nimble and courageous Chang'an knight who was famous for restraining the strong and supporting the weak. When he was still young, he had become the bodyguard of Prince Yuande of the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuan was also a thousand-year-old knight.
He chose thousands of options and took the initiative to marry his eldest daughter to Chai Shao.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin used to follow Chai Shao, and they also joined the Chang'an Ranger Circle in their early years.
Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, while Chai Shao and his wife were still in Guanzhong. After receiving the letter, Chai Shao rushed to Hedong. On the way, he also took the two brothers Jiancheng and Yuanji who wanted to go into the mountains and become mountain kings to escape the pursuit of the Sui Dynasty. They arrived in Taiyuan together, and Chai Shaochu was awarded the right
The position of Chief Shi of the Leading Governor's Office.
Princess Pingyang Zhao stayed in Guanzhong to find her own way out. Later, she just pulled up a small hundred thousand troops and laid down a large territory to welcome Li Yuan to Chang'an.
At the beginning of the founding of Wude, Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Jiancheng, King Qin Li Shimin, King Yuanji of Qi, and Princess Pingyang Chai Shao and his wife all had a large and elite army. It can be seen from this that although Chai Shao was the consort
, but his identity is very unusual.
Chai Shao was also very good at fighting, and participated in almost all the battles in the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After that, he controlled Longyou in the west of Beijing for a long time, and the people in Tuyuhun, especially the people in Tuyuhun, directly used Chai Shao's name to scare disobedient children.
He has been guarding Longyou in the west of Beijing and has a great reputation.
Lu Huairang was very afraid of this brother-in-law, and even Uncle Dou Guo was a little afraid of Chai Shao, his nephew and son-in-law.
"If you see General Chai, be very careful. My brother-in-law looks a bit like my uncle, Governor Dou."
Governor Dou naturally refers to the new Governor of Yizhou, the former Yizhou Xingtai servant She Dou Gui. This guy is famously ruthless.
When he first came to Yizhou and took office, in order to intimidate everyone, he even went so far as to perform surgery on his brother-in-law and directly borrowed his head to intimidate everyone.
Others are acting selfishly and bending the law, protecting and favoring their brother-in-law, but this guy is better, because his brother-in-law is using it to scare the monkeys.
"General Chai is like this too?"
"Um."
"It's impossible, General Chai's brother-in-law is the current prince."
Lu Huairang was a little embarrassed. Who asked you to make random associations?
"That's not what I meant. I just want to remind you that my brother-in-law is quite strict. In front of him, don't make random military orders or anything like that, and don't say enough, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious if you fail to do so."
Each ruthless person is more powerful than the other.
"You said we have entered Qinzhou, will we encounter Turks? Last time Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of Duke Su, came to deliver a message to General Chai, he met more than a hundred Turks riding in Longzhou."
"Don't be afraid. We have more than a hundred riders. If we encounter a small group, we will immediately destroy them. If we encounter a large group, we will just run away."
Huaiyu thought to himself, if he was ambushed or made dumplings, then the camp's long history, as well as the prince's uncle and brother-in-law would be captured alive, and even the four tigers of the Xue family over there, then there would be two counties and two princes.
As for the county magistrate, if you put this net down, it will be full of big fish.
The cool breeze blows in the morning,
The sun hasn't risen yet,
Huaiyu and his entourage took advantage of the coolness of the morning and set out on the dew. Yesterday they ran two hundred miles, and today they only need to run one hundred and sixty miles to reach Fuqiang.
Halfway through, we also passed Tianshui, the capital of Qinzhou.
Along the way, more than a hundred riders were all wearing armor. Even Huaiyu wore chain mail and a vest, and also put on an iron helmet on his head.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and they did not encounter any looting Turkic cavalry. When passing by Qinzhou, they took a short rest, inquired about the situation on the front line, and replenished some food and grass. Dou Yun also transferred 200 troops from Qinzhou City.
Cavalry escorted them.
It seems that Uncle Dou Guo is also worried about being ambushed by Turkic cavalry if he gets close to the front line.
Traveling westward along the Weishui River Valley, we finally arrived at Fuqiang County before dark. From a distance, we could see this small valley county, with Tang flags fluttering on the city, and camps outside the city.
The Tang army gathered here, and it became the base camp to resist the Turkic invasion.
Chai Shao heard that they had arrived and sent someone to greet them.
"Chai Zhewei, the captain of the Longyouxing camp, has come here to greet Dou Changshi, as well as several generals Xue and Lu Changshi, in accordance with the order of the battalion commander." The young captain in bright armor crossed his hands and saluted.
"Who is Wu Huaiyu, a member of the military who inspects the school and conducts medical work?" He glanced behind Dou Yun and other generals.
Huaiyu stepped forward: "The next official is Wu Huaiyu, who has met Captain Chai."
Chai Zhewei glanced condescendingly at Huaiyu and said, "You also go to see the general!" After saying that, he turned around and left, as arrogantly as a little rooster.
Lu Huairang whispered to him, "This is Chai Huima's eldest son. This boy didn't even call me uncle when he saw me. His eyes have grown to the top of his head. He is neither big nor small."
Huaiyu had already guessed his identity, so it didn't matter. There were people in the court who were good at serving as officials, not to mention that his mother was the late Princess Pingyang Zhao, the first princess in history to be buried with military honors, and his father was a general and chief steward.
Duke Huo Guo is camped in Longyou, and this young man naturally has a transcendent status.
