The four hundred and fiftieth chapters come on the water
The Ten Miles of Qinhuai River in Jinling City is famous in Jiangnan.
All the talented people and tourists who come to Jinling City do not want to take a trip to the Qinhuai River, enjoy the windy and snowy night, sing, dance and have fun.
Even though the Nine Mountains King's soldiers besieged Jinling City, and the city was almost captured, the lights on the Qinhuai River were still bright, day and night, and there was still a kind of abnormal prosperity here. The harsh world outside seemed not to affect this place at all.
.
Regarding the Qinhuai River, Li Xiuyuan never had any thoughts of managing it in the past, but just let nature take its course.
Because of the cruelty of the world, this kind of place gives opportunities to some women who are powerless and unable to survive.
After banning Shili Qinhuai, where would these women be placed?
And since ancient times, the place of romantic and snowy nights has always existed and has never disappeared.
now.
A huge painting boat floated quietly on the Qinhuai River. Although it was still daytime, there was constant singing and dancing in the painting boat, making it very lively.
"Shili Qinhuai is indeed well-deserved. He is good at dancing, good at music, and good at women. How can such a paradise on earth be occupied by a guerrilla general? Sirs, don't you think so?"
A man with a short beard who looked like a civil servant was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, drinking and laughing.
"General Qian is right. He is so happy to miss the land of Shu that he should hold it tightly in his hands. How can it be taken away by others? Then who is Li Xiuyuan? I have never heard of a casual guerrilla general dare to occupy it.
The government office leads the city defense, issues orders, and governs a city. The official rank is not high, but the appetite is quite big.
There's nothing else to say. This time I'll share his achievements and send him to the coastal areas of Zhejiang to guard the salt fields."
Another commander sneered and said.
"Before, I sent someone to check out the cavalry under the command of the guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan. They are quite extraordinary. They have excellent weapons and armor, and the horses are all good horses. They are only slightly stronger than our own soldiers. They can repel ten soldiers.
The Wan rebels are indeed somewhat capable. Such an army would be defeated by a guerrilla army.
It's a pity in the hands of the general. Do you have any ideas?" Suddenly, Mr. Qian's eyes flashed again, and he raised his glass with a smile.
"It depends on Yangzhou General Sun's wishes."
Sun Zongbing from Yangzhou smiled, stretched out his finger to draw on the table and said: "There are only three things left in Jinling City right now. The merits of repelling the rebels, the guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan, nearly ten thousand cavalry, and this place
The position of commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou City. According to the rules of the imperial court,
There are 200,000 troops garrisoned outside the city of Jinling. There is no commander-in-chief. There is only one deputy commander-in-chief. Now the 200,000 troops garrisoned outside the city exist in name only. If I can take the position of deputy commander-in-chief, Yangzhou and Jinling City will be better.
This position is all under my control. I will not let this position go. You are the president of Jiangxi Province.
Soldiers, one is the Hunan General Soldier, I am afraid that this position is beyond my reach."
"Lord Sun, I am honest. The credit for the rebellion must go to me. I am a civil servant. If I get this credit and put it into practice, I may not lose the chance of promotion."
General Qian said: "Then Mr. Zhao suffered a little loss and took away Li Xiuyuan's nearly ten thousand cavalry? With the elites here, it will be a great achievement to kill the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin in the future."
General Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "Since the two adults have said this, what other opinions do I have? That's it. Come on, I'd like to toast you two."
"Come on, I won't come home until you get drunk today."
The two commander-in-chiefs raised their glasses in response, with smiles coming from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.
In just one glass of wine, they divided up all the benefits in Jinling City.
Even General Li under Li Xiuyuan is thinking about taking it into his pocket.
As for Li Xiuyuan’s achievements, they simply don’t exist. Who in the imperial court would believe that a guerrilla general could repel a hundred thousand rebels? Even if Li Xiuyuan went to the imperial court, his memorial would not leave the Zhongshu Province and would definitely be dismissed.
Cut out.
the reason is simple.
There is no one in this Li Xiuyuan court.
I heard that he was very close to Fu Tianchou, the Minister of War, and he originally had a backer, but the Minister of War had been dismissed and imprisoned, and was about to be escorted to the capital for conviction.
So this is an opportunity given to them by God to make a great contribution.
When the time comes, the memorial will only say that the three generals of the army joined forces to send troops to Jinling City to defeat the rebel Li Liangjin. As for the three words Li Xiuyuan, there will not be a single word on it.
For a guerrilla general with no background and strength, such achievements are like the crime of cherishing a treasure.
How can I not be remembered.
"Here comes someone." Halfway through the drink, Mr. Sun from Yangzhou suddenly shouted.
"Here we come, I'm waiting outside. What do you want me to do?" Soon, an old madam came in with a flattering smile.
Sun Zongbing said: "What can we do with wine and no music? I'm tired of listening to these pieces of music. Let's change it. I heard a scholar said that there is a qin music player named Shiniang on the Qinhuai River. Please invite her here as soon as possible.
Waiting for others to play the piano and sing songs to entertain."
The old bustard was a little confused when he heard this: "Sir, your lord, that Shi Niang is not the girl on our painting boat. That Shi Niang is the servant of Qin Pavilion, and she has not been performing arts for a long time."
"If I ask you to go, just go and invite me. Don't say anything more. Just write down the amount of silver needed in my account. It's rare for me to come to the Qinhuai River, so naturally I want to listen to the best music."
General Sun said calmly: "I will ask a few soldiers to go with you. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to invite this Shi Niang."
Hearing this, the old bustard had no choice but to reluctantly agree: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and invite Miss Shi Niang to come and play the piano."
Mr. Sun waved his hand to signal her to leave, and then said with a smile: "Come on, adults, let's continue drinking."
But at this moment.
Li Xiuyuan took Xing Shan, Mao Wu, and more than a dozen Li family troops to the Qinhuai River on horseback.
"The eldest young master and the three general soldiers are drinking on that painting boat." Mao Wudao said.
Li Xiuyuan took a look and saw that there were soldiers guarding the shore, and there were also three personal soldiers of the general soldier walking around on the painting boat. Such a formation really meant that there were high-ranking officials playing on the painting boat.
"Let the painting boat dock." He gestured.
Mao Wu responded, took a few soldiers, dismounted and went over, shouting to the boatmen on the boat to let them dock.
Soon, the news here reached the ears of the commander-in-chief on the painting boat.
"Hey, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Mr. Qian asked in confusion.
A soldier came to report: "Reporting to your lord, it is guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan's men who are shouting on the shore that they want to board the ship to pay homage to your lord."
"Is that Li Xiuyuan here?" Mr. Qian's eyes moved slightly.
The Yangzhou general soldier next to him laughed and said: "I'm afraid they are here to curry favor with the three of us. I think it's better not to see them, so as not to offend them and take advantage of them. Then I'll be embarrassed to attack them."
"What Mr. Sun said makes sense, it's better not to see him."
General Qian nodded and signaled to the soldiers: "Go and reply, saying that my three general soldiers are drinking on the ship. They are a little tired and need to rest. It is not convenient to see guests today."
"Yes, sir." The soldier responded and left quickly.
Then Li Xiuyuan heard the shouts from the soldiers on the painting boat, saying that the commander-in-chief was drunk and needed a rest. It was not convenient to see guests today, so he asked Li Xiuyuan to come back another day.
"Damn it, these dog officers still dare to put on airs." Upon hearing this, the soldiers under his command couldn't help but become angry.
"General, do you want to find a ship to sail by?" Mao Wu asked.
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and said: "No, go and call Han Meng and other people from the capital. I will personally go visit these three generals. If these three generals avoid seeing me, it means they don't take me seriously."
, they are probably planning how to divide my credit and how to write a memorial.
The emperor is asking for merit, so how can he not go and make trouble?"
After saying that, he got off his horse and when he walked to the shore, he took out an ancient picture from the bag on his waist.
When you open it, you will see a picture of a dragon and a horse painted by Zhang Sengyao.
Suddenly, a white light appeared, and a neighing sound like a dragon or a horse was heard. A white dragon and horse suddenly jumped out of the picture and landed on the shore.
"Take me across the river to the boat." Li Xiuyuan abandoned the ordinary horse and sat on the dragon horse and gave the order.
The dragon and horse neighed, jumped out, landed on the river, and then ran towards the painting boat.
However, what is unbelievable is that the dragon horse did not sink when it stepped on the river. It was as solid and stable as if it had stepped on the bank.
Li Xiuyuan wore black scale armor and rode a snow-white dragon colt across the river.
"God, this is a divine horse." When the soldiers under his command saw this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Although they knew that the general had a magical horse, they never expected that it actually escaped from the painting.
Not only them, but the soldiers stationed on the boat also looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw a man riding a horse on the river.
Someone wiped his eyes and thought he saw it wrong.
But when they saw Li Xiuyuan riding closer and closer, they realized that this was not a lie, but the real thing.
It was the first time they saw such a mysterious soldier. They were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
There were also some soldiers who knelt on the ground and worshiped the gods, thinking that this was the appearance of the river god.
"Quick, go and report to the Commander-in-Chief." Someone trembled.
"Sir, it's not good, it's not good." Soon, a soldier rushed into the painting boat in a panic.
"What's the decency of shouting and panicking?" Mr. Qian said angrily.
The soldier immediately knelt on the ground and trembled: 'Sir, then, then Li Xiuyuan came here.'
"Come here as soon as you come. Seeing how scared you are, could it be that he brought a lot of people with him?" Mr. Qian frowned.
"Just him," the soldier said.
Mr. Qian snorted heavily: "A mere person can scare you like this. Isn't that Li Xiuyuan so arrogant?"
Next to him, Mr. Sun from Yangzhou laughed and said: "It's possible that Li Xiuyuan's subordinates are all a group of weirdos. Wasn't there a man named Wu Xiang before? He has divine power. I heard people say that the stone lion in front of the house looks like this person.
It's as easy as throwing stones. He just relied on one person to guard a city gate. If not
In this way, the rebels have already invaded Jinling City. Such a warrior would not have been captured unless he was threatened and persuaded by me."
Mr. Qian nodded and said, "There are always strange people and strangers in the world. Where is that Li Xiuyuan now?"
"Sir, right outside the window." The soldier pointed to the river outside the window with some horror.
Um?
Several commander-in-chiefs turned their eyes and immediately shrank their eyes.
However, they saw an imposing and handsome young man wearing a somewhat ferocious black armor, riding a divine horse with the appearance of a dragon, coming across the water.
