Yun Zheng waved away another group of Wu Shengjun's family members. Now the Wu Shengjun military camp is slowly becoming empty. Those family members are going to Huanzhou to settle down. Jiang Zhe will be the commander-in-chief of the fortress in Huanzhou. He brought
Wu Shengjun selected the remaining soldiers to go to his home. This was his own request. His ancestral home was in Huanzhou. This time he and his family planned to return to their ancestral homeland.
Although the Huanzhou Fortress has been built, the ancestors of any development would not have a good life. This is almost certain. They need to cultivate fields in the wasteland, dig coal, build many blacksmithing workshops, and even have to prepare for the Xixia
The unexpected arrival of cavalry requires 3,000 soldiers to protect 30,000 women and children. This is the reality he will face.
Jiang Zhe didn't think it was a hardship. On his horse was his two-year-old son, and in the carriage beside him were his mother and wife. He could hear the crying of women in the carriage. They were unwilling to leave the prosperous Chengdu to go to the desolation.
of Huanzhou.
Jiang Zhe's two-year-old son was still ignorant. He poked his head out of his father's cloak and looked curiously at the people and horses walking outside. When he saw an ox pulling a cart passing by, he patted it with his little palm.
Father's armor, let him look at it together.
Jiang Zhe looked back at Yun Zheng, who was waving goodbye to him, and yelled at his crying wife in the carriage: "Why are you crying? Your husband is originally from Huanzhou. My father moved his family to Shu because he was afraid of the Xixia people.
Among them, my grandfather, my uncle, and all my uncles all died on that land, and only my father escaped.
This is a shame for the Jiang family. If we don’t escape, we will return to Huanzhou. This is my life and yours."
The crying in the carriage became louder, but Jiang Zhe felt very happy. He hugged his son tightly, shouted and rode towards the front of the team. He wished he could rush to Huanzhou now, where he was.
paradise...
He had talked with Yun Zheng and knew what kind of development Wu Shengjun would have in Huanzhou. There was coal and iron ore there. As long as Wu Shengjun started to develop, Huanzhou Fortress would become the fundamental base of the Youth Army and its importance would be far greater.
beyond the Dujiangyan Military Camp.
A city of steel. Jiang Zhe held such a blueprint in his arms. He was already imagining how high-spirited he would be standing on that castle made of steel. Where can the most beautiful dreams in the world be found? Shu
How could the two small shops in the house be compared with it? It was just a small chicken house used to shelter from the wind and rain. All he could leave to his son was a hero-like figure and a steel-like figure.
The fortress can shelter the most terrifying storms in the world. He must not be like his father who never forgets his dead relatives before dying. It is too helpless and painful. Jiang Zhe does not want to make the same mistake again.
Unlike Jiang Zhe's ambition, the veteran sat on the bullock cart without any thoughts. A general who kept his word asked everyone to go to the Huanzhou Fortress, so go. As long as there is no shortage of food and clothing, the Xiang army can go anywhere.
. He took out a white rice cake from his arms and bit into it bit by bit. After taking a bite, he handed it to the child behind him. It didn’t matter whose child it was.
"Eat slowly. It will take us two months to walk from Chengdu to Huanzhou. We have been to Huanzhou before. If there were no Xixia barbarians, it would still be a good place, but it would be a bit desolate."
The old soldier muttered nonsense and pried off a piece of mud from the cow's tail. The child behind him finished eating the rice cake and climbed on his shoulder and said: "Grandpa, why don't we live in Dujiangyan? Why do we have to go back to Huanzhou?"
"
The veteran looked at the quiet Chengdu Plain and chuckled: "Because we have nothing to do, we have almost killed all the bandits in Shu. It's a pity. Without the bandits, we will have no food and clothing. Damn it, the bandits are the ones."
Our parents who provide us with food and clothing."
"Are there robbers in Huanzhou?"
The veteran smiled and said: "Yes, that's why we are going to Huanzhou. On the one hand, we will farm our own land, grow vegetables, and forge iron. I heard that we will also plant trees and dig coal to sell for money. On the other hand, we will also rob the bandits there."
You brat, grow up quickly. I heard the general said that when you are thirteen years old, you will all join the youth army. You will be trained by the best warriors and you will also need to be literate. When you get up, the general will take you there.
When we robbed the Xixia Palace, the leader led few people last time, so we didn't grab much."
Children most like to hear the story about the veteran general Jiaziying going to Xixia. As long as he hears this story, he can't wait to grow up quickly and follow the general to find the most vicious robber to steal money.
This time we moved, it was obviously different from the last time. Women and children all had ox carts, mule carts, or donkey carts to ride in. The military horses guarding them were all their fathers, brothers, or husbands. They were brightly armored and mighty, and they were the most powerful.
The soldiers have nothing to worry about. Behind them is a panting oxcart pulling grain. There is as much grain as a mountain. I heard people say that it can last for two years...
Liu Yucheng stood at the top of the Chengdu city, watching the long motorcade slowly walking westward along the city wall. He sighed and said to Su Xun, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar: "In a short period of time, Wu Shengjun has accumulated so much money and food.
It’s really unbelievable, Ming Yun, everyone said that the Song Dynasty was rich, but after seeing Wu Sheng’s army marching and migrating, I finally believed that the Song Dynasty was really rich.”
In early spring, standing at the top of the city, you could still feel the slightest chill, but Su Xun waved a folding fan and said with a smile: "It is true that the Song Dynasty was rich, but if you want to see other armies as rich as Wu Shengjun, then this is
It’s difficult, this is a special case and cannot be imitated.
Not to mention whether those people have the courage to conquer the bandits, even if they have the courage, whether they can win is still a question. Those people can't see the preparations Wu Shengjun made before, why are they jealous now?
Have you seen the three thousand troops and horses that Wu Shengjun escorted these family members? One thousand cavalry, two thousand elite heavy armored soldiers, and two commanders, one is Liang Ji and the other is Peng Jiu. These two people fought out of thousands of troops.
Strong general, Wu Shengjun has no intention of listening to other people's words. If they are not convinced, they can just grab it."
Liu Yucheng nodded and looked at the infantry walking on both sides of the convoy from a distance and smiled: "I don't think anyone has the courage, but you should be careful when you walk to Fengxiang Mansion. You killed Wen Hanchen, Qin
There are many people in the state and Fengxiang Mansion who are not convinced."
Su Xun quickly closed the folding fan and clapped his hands and said: "Then kill a few more. Wu Shengjun is escorting his parents, wife and children this time. Anyone who dares to do anything will definitely end up miserable."
"Since there is no opponent in Shu, you are starting to attack the Tibetans in the Snowy Mountains? As for the war between the Tibetans in the Snowy Mountains, the Song Dynasty did not participate in the war, did not express its position, and did not stop it, but why did your army of 500 people do it?
Appearing on the battlefield? Someone has already come out to lead the troops. The person is Zhou Tong!"
"This is absolutely not the case. Wu Shengjun formed a caravan specifically to do business with the Tubo people. As you know, Zhou Tong led the caravan around non-stop during these times. Ever since Fu Bi failed to pay back the money he owed,
He specially collected war horses for Wu Sheng's army. The general wanted to form a cavalry of 3,000 people. Now there are only 1,200 cavalry, which is a big gap. He went to the snowy mountains just to collect war horses. They will not participate in the war. Five
What kind of battle can a hundred people fight?"
Liu Yucheng looked at Su Xun and said: "This is the best. If the war between the Tibetan people in the snowy mountains is brought to Shu, it will be a real disaster. I don't want those barbarians to come down from the plateau and harm Shu. It is rare for Shu to be like this."
It is so quiet and peaceful today, no one is allowed to destroy this peace, not even Yunzheng."
Cao Rong, who was standing on the city wall with Liu Yucheng, suddenly said: "Ming Gong, the Tubo people have not come down from the mountain, but I received news that Nong Zhigao, the leader of the Yuan tribe, established the Nantian Dali Kingdom after defeating the greedy Jiaozhi people.
After repeatedly testing Yongzhou, His Majesty was furious and prepared to send troops to pursue and suppress her. However, Lin, the daughter-in-law we selected from Shu, became pregnant after being granted the title of Empress Zhaorong. In order to gain blessings for the child in Empress Zhaorong's belly, His Majesty suspended the attack.
Marching. I think we will enter Yongzhou to fight sooner or later."
"You don't want to go?" Liu Yucheng stared at Cao Rong with squinted eyes.
Cao Rong didn't seem to see the hatred in Liu Yucheng's eyes, but smiled to himself and said: "If Zhuyu is in front, I won't join in the fun because I have a humble position. We have many powerful soldiers in Chengdu, so there is no need for the Yongxing army to go to war."
Beizi heard that Yun Dujian was already preparing to go to Guangning to make a fortune. Regarding Wu Shengjun's customs, Beizi was both envious and relieved. He envied his family's abundant wealth. What made him feel at ease was that there was always a general who could take care of the safety of Shu. People like Beizi
It is better to defend our homeland well under the wings of a strong army."
Liu Yucheng was about to get angry, but Su Xun laughed and said: "There are many people in charge of the governor Cao. I have thanked the governor for Yun Zheng's kindness. Wu Shengjun always fights first and never succeeds. Of course he wants to go to Guangning to quell the chaos."
Yong Prefecture in the Song Dynasty occupies forty Jizu prefectures, each of which has evil intentions. It would be good to teach them a lesson. My general also wants to go, but I heard that this time the imperial court is planning to send the privy envoy Di Gong to lead the army in person. As we all know, Di Gong
Coming from the frontier fortress, I have a good impression of the soldiers in Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan and other places. Once I send out troops, I will definitely summon the old troops. I am afraid that this time there will be nothing wrong with our troops in Shu."
Cao Rong laughed and said: "I am a worthless person. I naturally hope that the world will always be peaceful and there will be no more wars. I will wait until all the swords and guns are put into the warehouse and the horses can be released to Nanshan."
However, such a war is a temptation for heroes. It is really painful to not be able to enjoy the delicious food in front of them. Haha, it is a bit embarrassing to be called a coward for avoiding the war. It is not easy to tell my sister that if Wu Shengjun wants to go to the battlefield,
I can tell my sister about it and ask her to go to Datian to hear it. Whether it succeeds or not depends on how the officials deal with it."
Liu Yucheng was even more angry when he heard this. He pointed at Cao Rong and didn't know what to say in front of his smiling rogue face. He also knew very well that no matter what he said would be ignored, he couldn't help but put down his hands, waved his sleeves and left angrily.
