Things in the world are so strange. The Xiliang thieves regard themselves as the government and are working hard to run a political power. The court in Luoyang has turned itself into a huge copycat, and the methods of doing things are no different from those of bandits.
Whether it is forcibly recruiting soldiers or plundering civilian wealth, the methods are so bad that they are no better than thieves.
After failing to attack Runan and setting off his troops in Shangqiu, He Jin saw that there was no hope of annihilating the rebels in a short period of time, so he simply broke the pot and made wishes, while at the same time he made a mess of the Yuan family.
Aren't Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu powerful? Let's see what happens to you as traitors!
After the heads of Yuan Ang and Yuan Wei were hung on the walls of Luoyang City, more scholars fled. Even some of He Jin's generals fled with their soldiers and horses, or took the city to surrender.
On the side of the Kwantung Allied Forces. However, the remaining people are much more at ease and do not dare to cause trouble for the general at will.
Now He Jin even dares to kill scholar-leaders like Yuan Ang and Yuan Wei. It is obvious that he is already red-eyed. It is better for everyone to protect themselves wisely.
Chen Cheng talked about the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army with everyone, and said: "I heard that Zhang Yan had withdrawn his troops from Hanoi and turned to attack Hebei after accepting the official position of Pingnan Zhonglang General appointed by the imperial court. Yang Qiu went
You said He Jin was desperate, so he would recruit armed forces from all over the country, but this move is really very effective!"
Yan Zhong said: "Before, the imperial court was still at war with the princes from various places. After this, I'm afraid the world will become even more chaotic."
After talking for a while, everyone dispersed, and only Zhao Yun stayed. Chen Cheng stood up and walked back and forth in the lobby several times, as if something was difficult to decide. When Zhao Yun saw this, he asked: "Wen Zheng, is this the case?"
What's the problem?"
Chen Cheng stopped, stood still in the hall, and asked, "Does Zilong know that Han Sui has returned to Yinchuan again?"
Zhao Yundao said, "I know. He came to the county with Jia Xu, the envoy from Bingzhou. Is it possible that Wen was worried about Han Wen's appointment?"
"Yes and no. As you said, there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed nearby. Not to mention one Han Sui, even ten Han Sui can't make trouble. But we know about this matter, Han Sui
Does anyone else know? What if someone thinks that Yinchuan will be empty when the army goes out and wants to take a risk?"
Chen Cheng said: "It's such a coincidence that Song Jian established himself as king. I always feel that something is fishy and it won't be that simple. The rebellion will definitely not succeed in the end, but many of our factories are built in the city.
Otherwise, if it is damaged during the turmoil, all the hard work over the past two years will be in vain."
"It turns out that Wen was worried about this," Zhao Yun said, "In that case, I have a plan."
"tell me the story."
Zhao Yundao said: "Wen Zheng led the army to march to the border of Wuwei and Zhangye, and stopped for a few days. If there is nothing in the rear, it will not be too late to attack Song Jian again. If there is a change in Yinchuan, he will quickly come back with his troops and kill the rebels in one fell swoop.
wipe out."
"Leading the snake out of its hole?" Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "This strategy is not bad, but what if those people wait until our army attacks Jiuquan County before launching it?"
The expression on Zhao Yun's face changed. He gritted his teeth, then made up his mind and said, "Then give them a push!"
"kindness?"
"The wedding date of Yunlu and I was originally scheduled for seven days later. At that time, civil and military officials from both inside and outside Yinchuan will arrive. If someone is really planning something evil, their first goal will definitely be to control the generals and officials. At that time, Wen Zheng was leading the army outside.
, can they resist the temptation to catch all the civil and military generals at home and abroad in one fell swoop?"
At this point, Zhao Yun's face was full of murderous intent, and he said: "During the autumn hunt last year, Wen Zheng was assassinated, so I said that there must be someone in the army colluding with outsiders, and it should be cleaned up at that time. It was Wen Zheng who said
We have to calm it down and suppress the matter. Now that we have been in the Northland for more than two years, we have sufficient troops and food, and the foundation is solid, we no longer need to worry about so many things!"
Seeing Zhao Yun's murderous look, Chen Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't, don't, if I really use your marriage as a cover, then Ma Yunlu will have to hate you for the rest of his life? Ma Teng and Ma Chao are no longer your in-laws, but to
They have become enemies."
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Why don't you regret your life for the country? Yunlu understands the righteousness and is not a small-minded person. If I tell her clearly afterwards, she will definitely not blame me!"
You just said Ma Yunlu wouldn't blame you, but that means Ma Teng might be so angry that his liver hurts?
Although the Han Dynasty was also an era where men were superior to women, it was different from the Song Dynasty and beyond. In the Han Dynasty, it was common for the Queen Mother to visit the court, and women were not criticized for remarrying. The social atmosphere was more open than in the following dynasties.
Much more. Zhuo Wenjun worked as a bartender and sold liquor, and General Wei Qing married the widowed Princess Pingyang. No one thought there was anything wrong with this kind of thing.
Under this kind of atmosphere, there are many women who dare to love and hate, let alone a place like Xiliang? If Ma Yunlu knew that Zhao Yun was playing a "bloody wedding" with his in-laws, he might hate Zhao Zilong for the rest of his life. Chen Cheng
I never liked doing this kind of thing, so I immediately refused.
He said to Zhao Yun: "Even if Ma Yunlu doesn't hate you, Zilong, your reputation will become bad."
Zhao Yun said, "There are dozens of factories inside and outside Yinchuan, and hundreds of thousands of people. Do Wen Zheng only love me? If I can exchange for hundreds of lives with my reputation, why not?"
Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel proud. He sighed and said, "I united with the princes of Xiliang to carve up Han Sui's territory while I was sending troops. My reputation was already bad, but Zilong, you don't have to get involved in this kind of thing."
It just happened. Don't mention this to others in the future, just say that I did it well."
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Even if Wen Zheng says so, others must believe it."
Chen Cheng thought so, so he said: "Then let's blame Bo Dao. Don't the people in Liangzhou say that he is wise and resourceful and full of strange schemes? Only he can come up with such schemes!"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "When a man acts, why should he hide his head and show his tail? Since I did it, there is no need for Yan Shangshu to bear this infamy."
Chen Cheng suddenly laughed and said: "After all, we seem to be sure that Han Sui will stir up trouble? Maybe Han Wenyue has no such idea at all?"
Zhao Yun also smiled and said: "Does Wen Zheng believe that Han Sui will not stir up trouble?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. People often make decisions in a split second. Han Sui may continue to be content, or he may take the opportunity to cause chaos. Who knows? Only this time, it is necessary to
It will harm Zilong’s reputation.”
Zhao Yundao: "What's the point of personal reputation? It's just that this matter needs to be informed to Yan Shangshu first."
Chen Cheng said: "Bo Dao has been sending people to keep an eye on Han Sui. Needless to say, he knows."
"It's better to inform in advance."
"Then you send someone... Well, I'll do it. It's not appropriate for more people to know about this kind of thing."
Because of the change from Song Jian to Yuan Dynasty, the atmosphere inside and outside Yinchuan suddenly became tense. Each army recalled officers and soldiers on leave, and the army was on alert. Important places such as city gates, offices, factories, arsenals, and granaries were placed on alert.
More manpower has also been deployed.
Troops began to assemble one after another. War horses and draft horses gathered at the aqueduct outside the south gate. Vehicles transporting supplies came in an endless stream from morning to night. Everyone knew that Chen Shijun was going to personally lead the troops to conquer Jiuquan.
The Song Dynasty built the county.
Ma Teng saw another group of cavalry running past on the street outside. He turned to Ma Yunlu and said, "There's going to be a war. What about your wedding?"
Ma Yunlu is now used to it and no longer looks shy when talking about getting married. She replied: "Zilong said the wedding will be held as scheduled."
Ma Teng said: "But if it is held seven days later, then Chen Shijun will not be able to be there!"
"What's wrong with Chen Shijun not being present?" Ma Yunlu's voice rose a bit, "I'm marrying Zhao Zilong, not Liangzhou Mu!"
"Hmph, it would be great if you married Liangzhou Mu!"
"Why is Zilong so bad?"
"I didn't say Zhao Zilong was bad!"
"Ada, you obviously mean this!"
"I..." Ma Teng was helpless by the noise and turned around to leave, "I'm going to see how things are prepared."
Inside the embassy, Jia Xu looked at the soldiers and horses and the carts transporting armor and weapons on the street. He thought about it for a while, and then said to his entourage: "There is going to be a war. I have been staying in the courtyard for the past two days.
Keep the door closed, don't come in or out at will, and don't let irrelevant people in."
The attendant said: "Yes. In a few days, General Zhao's wedding will be held. Do you want to go to the wedding, Captain?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Of course I want to go. Zhao Zilong is the Shizhongling of Liangzhou and Ma Teng is the prefect of Anding. These two are getting married. It is a first-class event. How can I not go?"
The etiquette of marriage has been established very early in ancient China. It has been roughly established since the Zhou Dynasty. From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Zhou etiquette was followed. The etiquette scholar Dade and his nephew Dai Sheng in the Western Han Dynasty compiled it
, recorded in "Book of Rites - Hunyi".
There are six kinds of etiquette in the process from the marriage proposal to the consummation of marriage, namely: nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for date, and personally welcoming. The date of request is to determine the date of marriage, and usually an auspicious one will be chosen.
Date. The chosen date cannot be changed at will, otherwise it will be considered as a great disrespect for the other party. The wedding date of Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu has been set long ago. At that time, no one knew that Song Jian would be so wild.
How dare you proclaim yourself king.
In Chen Cheng's opinion, Ma Yunlu is still too young. He is only fourteen years old now. Even if it is a leap two years old, he is still only sixteen years old. Sixteen years old, he should still be in junior high school in Chen Cheng's time.
.Although he had heard about some junior high school students secretly tasting forbidden fruit, he did not say that they would get married at this age.
However, times are different, so you cannot use the same system. When looking at things, you still need to consider the background. Just like a person's achievements, although it is mainly based on personal struggle, the process of history must also be considered.
