"Quickly, clean up, the king is coming." Wang Yanfan, the envoy of Luoyuan, hurried in and ordered.
Some women were arranged in the Qingshu Palace. After hearing the words, they either volunteered or were forced to dress up.
Mrs. Chu put on a bright red six-piece floor-length skirt.
The women's skirt is wide and long, made of multiple pieces of scarf. The waist of the skirt is under the armpits. With the help of her daughter-in-law Xie, Chu tied the ribbon and exposed half of her breasts. Then she covered it with a translucent layer.
The veil is thin, and the snow-white skin is faintly exposed.
After walking to the bronze mirror and looking at it, Mrs. Chu was quite satisfied.
Xie felt very surprised when she saw it, and said: "The skirt is slowly tied up, half of the chest is exposed, and the auspicious snow lamp on the chest is shining obliquely. The king of Xia couldn't move his eyes away from my mother-in-law's outfit."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Chu blushed and said, "Your Majesty has been fighting on the battlefield for half his life. What scene has he not seen? What woman has not enjoyed it? He just wants to have some fun."
Xie's body is also very plump and toned. After all, she comes from a military school family. She wore a yellow skirt that had just been dyed with tulips in the morning, giving it a tulip-like feel.
Li Shangyin once wrote a poem: "Bend your waist and dance in a tulip skirt." The yellow skirt dyed with this flower has a bright color and is the most eye-catching.
Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter-in-law, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated. When she was favored by King Xia at first, she was still hiding and covering up, not wanting people to know that she had lost her virginity. But now that she is trying her best to win favor, she doesn't know what to say.
.
The Pugu family next door has already gone downstairs.
Chu took a glance and saw that the Uighur princess was wearing a Hu robe with narrow sleeves and slits. The collar was turned diagonally to both sides, revealing a large piece of snow-white in the middle. The Hu robe was very loose, and when she knelt there, her hands could easily lift it.
Reach into your lapel and play with it.
There were not many women in the Qingshu Palace, including the Chu family, the Xie family, the Pugu family, the twin daughters of Absi, and three unidentified Li families.
At this time, one after another went downstairs and sat on their knees in the corridor.
People outside the palace were shouting, and they calmed down after a while.
Shao Shude entered the palace gate under the protection of a few soldiers. He looked around casually, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
The eight women went upstairs with mixed expressions. They seemed to be relieved, but also a little disappointed. Especially the Hu women, they were even more disappointed. In their perception, one khan defeated another khan, and then
It is a matter of course that the wives and daughters of losers can be named as their own Ketun and Yan clan. They do not reject this. Aren't women born to be used by men? Serving the strong, no one will criticize them on the grassland.
"Your Majesty." Wang Yanfan followed.
"Prepare a banquet, and I'm going to treat you to a banquet tonight." Shao Shude ordered.
"As ordered." Wang Yanfan got ready to go.
Shao Shude thought for a moment, then went to Chu's room and looked at his eight-month-old daughter.
The daughter's eyes were round and round, and she had just woken up. Shao Shude held her in his arms, with joy on his face, and took Mrs. Chu downstairs and walked in the courtyard.
The daughter was very interested. She stretched out her white and tender little hands to touch Shao Shude's beard, giggling.
Shao Shude, who committed murder all day long, rarely enjoyed family happiness. He held his daughter in his arms and never let go until Wang Yanfan came to report that all the guests had arrived.
The guests are of course the generals from Liang: Ge Congzhou, Dai Siyuan, Wang Jingxuan, Li Yanwei, Ding Hui, Li Renhan, Kong Qing, Kang Yanxiao, Xiao Fu, Zhang Shensi, Shen Cheng, Wen Yu...
Shao Shude nodded, put his daughter back into Chu's arms, and walked towards Bixia Palace.
Mrs. Chu held her daughter and teased her for a while, then prepared to go back. When she reached the front hall, she saw Kang Yanxiao and Xiao Fu coming hand in hand.
"Mrs. Zhang?" Kang Yanxiao was stunned, and soon realized that he had said the wrong thing. He smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to call her.
Xiao Fu apologized and pulled Kang Yanxiao away quickly. Chu's face was so red that she seemed to run upstairs.
There were already many people sitting in the Bixia Hall. Everyone looked left and right, and they were all former colleagues. They felt embarrassed, so few people spoke.
After a while, Shao Shude, Shao Chengjie and his son walked in, escorted by soldiers.
"Greetings to Your Highness, Your Majesty." All the descendants saluted one after another.
"Why are you always wearing plain clothes?" Shao Shude asked curiously as he glanced at everyone in the hall.
"I haven't received His Majesty's release. I don't dare to take advantage of my fat clothes." After a moment of silence, Kang Yanxiao stepped forward and reported.
Wang Yanfan stepped forward and whispered, saying that they all came on donkeys.
Shao Shude nodded and said: "Erlang, these are all Liang generals. Some may have great strategies, some may be brave enough to defeat the three armies, or some may be resourceful. In future battles, my father will have to rely on them..."
"Master, why don't you give me a crown and belt?" Shao Chengjie understood and asked.
"Just follow what my son said." Shao Shude clapped his hands and ordered.
After saying that, he came closer to his son and whispered a few words.
Soon, the maids brought over Shao Shude's commonly used crown. Shao Chengjie asked the maids to follow him, and the first one walked up to Ding Hui and said: "In the past, the general fought with Li Hanzhi and Li Cunxiao in Heyang
, the soldiers were no more than 10,000 men. The thieves had tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and their banners covered the sky. The general fought against them, and destroyed the thieves' cavalry. They were looking for another World War.
After many victories, he fought with Zhu Jin in Jinxiang, but Jin escaped alone. The general's military strategy is impressive. I will ask for advice from time to time in the future, and I hope the general will not get tired of it."
"The prince is smart and brave, so what can he say about being polite to despicable people like us?" Ding Hui sighed: "In the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Shao Chengjie went to Ge Congzhou again, gave him a crown and belt, and said: "My father once said that among the generals in Liang, I am the only one afraid of Congzhou. With a single brigade, my tens of thousands of troops cannot advance. There are more than a hundred generals, big and small."
In battle, countless generals were captured alive, and none of the famous generals in ancient times could match them."
Ge Congzhou stood up to express his thanks, and said with some shame: "The Battle of Si River was defeated by the Xia King's cavalry, and I am convinced of the defeat. The prince said this, I am ashamed, I am ashamed. In the future, whenever I am asked to do something, I will obey my orders."
Shao Chengjie smiled, went to Kang Yanxiao again, and said: "General Kang was born in Daibei and was familiar with the Jin army. After running south to Bianzhou, he started as a team member and ended up as a general. The difficulties involved cannot be described by those who are not experienced in the battlefield.
, please accept this crown."
Kang Yanxiao stood up and took it, thanking him profusely.
…
After giving out the crowns and ribbons one by one, Shao Chengjie returned to his father. Shao Shude held up his wine bottle and invited everyone to drink. Another beauty performed the dance, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
We are all warriors, so why can't we let go? Everyone drinks wine, eats meat, and makes friends.
"Erlang, this is the stunt that my father wanted to teach you yesterday." Shao Shude chuckled and said, "What about General Liang?"
"Actually, they are all quite capable and not mediocre." Shao Chengjie said.
"That's right." Shao Shude nodded and said, "As a king, what will happen if your subordinates are all monolithic?"
"It's hard to sleep and eat well."
"My son is so smart." Shao Shude said with a smile: "General Liang can be used completely. This is another card for our father and son. They have recently come to surrender, and all the fame and fortune they had in the past no longer count. They are eager to make meritorious deeds.
A very useful knife."
"My grandpa's intention is to vigorously promote and re-employ General Liang to compete with the generals of Guanxi?" Shao Chengjie asked.
"What a big mistake!" Shao Shude said with a serious face: "I owe my fortune to the Kansai warriors, and the defeat of the Liang Dynasty was also the result of the brave fighting of the Kansai warriors. You have to know where the foundation of the country is. Surrenders can be used, and people can be driven.
, expendable, but their loyalty to their father is limited, and they don’t have much deep affection. Love is something that can’t be seen or touched, but it affects too many things. Li Keyong’s tactics are in vain, but he
How can we win over so many brave men to fight to the death? Even if the wealth is not as high as that of the Liang people and the Xia people, there are very few rebels. The reason is for no other reason than love."
"The generals from Liangdi can be used and driven. But we must not neglect the old man Yuan Cong of Guanxi. Otherwise, even I can't protect him..." Shao Shude paused and continued: "We regard Guanxi warriors as our country."
Ben, give me proper courtesy, reward and encourage people from Liangdi to fight for me. The generals in Xiadi will see this, put away their arrogance, and work harder in the future. Erlang, do you understand?"
Shao Chengjie didn't understand this very deeply, but he still responded: "I know."
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t understand it at all. He read history books and saw that many monarchs maintained a balance among their ministers and had many factions. What his father meant was that there can be factions, and it is impossible to eliminate factions, but the old man Yuan Cong must be the main one.
, eventually formed a situation where the strong Yuan Cong old people faction and the weak Liang Di Jiang people coexist.
He had to think more about this matter and ask for advice. Well, the first time he thought of Hu Zhen and Duan Ning, Shao Chengjie felt that there was something wrong. They were also descended from Liangdi. Are they too close to these people? Guanxi Elderly Association
What do you think of him?
Alas, these things are so annoying and far less enjoyable than going into battle to fight.
"Grandpa, what should we do if we surrender our troops?" Shao Chengjie suddenly remembered this and asked.
"Reorganization." Shao Shude had already made up his mind and said: "After the Tielin Army arrives, it will first select four thousand Liang soldiers, break them up and organize them into each battalion. From now on, the Tielin Army will have 12,000 infantry on each side.
Three thousand cavalry and soldiers."
Shao Shude has actually been thinking about this for a long time and only recently made up his mind.
At present, there are too many military numbers and the numbers of each army are different, so reorganization is inevitable. Tielin Army is only one of them. In fact, the first to undergo reorganization will be Wuwei, Shunyi, and Jishi armies.
The Wuwei and Shunyi armies are on their way back to Ruzhou, and the Jishi Army is on the way to Ruzhou.
The Wuwei Army is an old force and can be regarded as the core direct descendant of Shao Shude. The Shunyi and Jishi armies are not so close. This time they just merged. The new army is named "Wuwei" and is divided into left and right wings with a military strength of 30,000.
The Wuwei Army currently has about 6,000 infantry and over 1,500 cavalry left. The Jishi Army still has 5,000 infantry and over 2,400 cavalry. The Shunyi Army once suffered heavy losses, but has been replenished.
It is now fully manned, with five thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry.
During the reorganization, the Liang Army was mobilized to surrender 8,000 troops, and the Wuwei Army's strength could reach 30,000.
In Shao Shude's vision, there will not be too many bugles in the future, and the competition is bound to be fierce.
"Every reorganization is an excellent opportunity to strengthen control, and it is also a great opportunity to show kindness. My son must remember it." Shao Shude said in a low voice.
After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and drank with the general to deepen their relationship.
