On the fourteenth day of the first month of the second year of Zhonghe, the imperial court issued an order. As Chen Cheng learned, Zhuge Shuang was appointed commander of the Shannan West Road, and Shao Shude was appointed commander of Xia Sui's military affairs.
They were not the only two who received the reward. Wang Chongrong was actually the self-proclaimed Hezhong Jieduliu Hou before, and had subdued thieves. This time, he was also given an official title confirmation: Hezhong Jiedushi and Hezhong Yin, plus Tong Zhongshu Menxiaping
Zhang Shi also served as Wang Duo's right Sima. His brother Wang Chongying was the observer envoy to Shaanxi and Guozhou. This time he served as the military envoy to the east, providing food and salary supplies to the soldiers and horses camped in the east.
Gao Pian, who had 80,000 troops but did not come to serve the king, was in bad luck. The imperial court dismissed him as the commander-in-chief and other envoys. From the perspective of the court's justice, he no longer had military power. Let's see if he can control the situation.
, it is common for a bad person to be killed by his generals.
The righteousness of the court sometimes seems useless, just a piece of paper. But with this piece of paper, it can really reduce a lot of troubles and suppress many careerists. The human heart is really a wonderful thing.
Wang Chucun was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the northwest camp, Cheng Zongchu was appointed the commander-in-chief of the southwest camp, Li Xiaochang was appointed the commander-in-chief of the northeast camp, and Yang Fuguang was appointed the commander-in-chief of the camp in the south.
The soldiers went south, and I wonder if he will ask Shao Shude for the 30,000 hu of army rations.
Judging from the rewards awarded by the imperial court, everyone has been promoted in name. Originally, Zheng Dan was the one who recruited envoys, and everyone was recruiting envoys. But now the top commander has all recruited envoys, and the next-level officials have become
I really don’t know what the purpose of the imperial court is in engaging in these tricks. It couldn’t have been done by those eunuchs, right?
Some soldiers and horses are also coming from Kanto. However, there are only one or two thousand people, all in each town. They are gradually gathered together, and there must be about 20,000 people in total. Most of them are classified into the west camp and the south camp.
The camp in the north did not catch anyone. However, Wang Chongying sent them a batch of ordnance, food and grass, which was an unexpected surprise.
Wang brothers, that’s interesting!
Shao Shude also took the time to return to Fuping. When he saw Marshal Zhuge, he naturally congratulated him. The Marshal also smiled. He was naturally happy that he got what he wanted.
"Shude, I have ordered Zhongbao to lead a thousand people south to Xingyuan Mansion to handle the settlement first." Zhuge Shuang said: "There is another matter. There are still 3,000 sergeants in Xiazhou who were brought from Dongdu. Some of them are old.
Brothers, there are probably more than a hundred people who have followed a certain person since they came from Ruzhou, and this time they will be taken to Xingyuan Mansion. Shude will take care of the remaining officer vacancies."
"The commander loves you so much, Shao is so grateful." This is actually a good thing. Three thousand sergeants, all veterans, have taken the officers away so that you can place your own people. With a little reorganization in the future, they will become your own direct army.
It's almost the same as the Tielin Army.
Shao Shude had even thought about transferring some old men from the Tielin Army, and then merged the trapped camp with this army to create a new army, called the "Wuwei Army", with an army of 4,000, as a branch of Xia Sui Town.
The Waizhen Army. As for the Tielin Army, it will naturally become the Yamen Army. Its designation will still be retained and it will be permanently stationed in Xiazhou.
But this is all for the future. For now, the most important thing is to conquer the traitors. The imperial court has given the official, and you must perform well and show your own value. In order to avoid having other good things happen in the future, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government will
They can't even think of themselves.
Furthermore, the Chao people are entrenched near Chang'an, which is not a good thing for the people in Guanzhong. The sooner they are defeated, the sooner the people will be liberated.
After bidding farewell to Zhuge Shuang, Shao Shude went to his residence in Zhuangzi.
There are many books, maps, and even various notes and experiences written by me here. Every time I review it, I gain new insights. It has become a fixed learning routine for Shao.
******
Liu discovered it as soon as Shao Shude came back.
After thinking for a long time, she gathered her thoughts and came to the residence of her two sisters-in-law. She smiled and said: "The snow scenery in the courtyard is pretty good today, why not go for a walk in the snow."
Feng Xuan glanced at Mrs. Liu, how could she not understand the meaning of her eldest sister-in-law because she was so thoughtful? However, thinking of her brother Feng Yin resolutely joining the army to fight, and how he took care of her sister, she sighed quietly.
It’s just that my little sister is young and a little confused.
Liu suggested that Feng Xuan had no objection and Feng had no objection, so the matter was basically settled. Several people ordered the servants to clear a place in the courtyard, then moved some household items over and made a small
He warmed the stove, boiled a pot of wine, and played the game of pot throwing with great interest.
Touhu, evolved from the ancient archery ceremony, was mostly played as a fun game at banquets. It originally had a complex and cumbersome etiquette, but when you play it with your own family, there is no need to be so troublesome, you can just have fun playing it.
Feng Xuan was not very interested, so he decided to arbitrate. Liu and Feng Du each held five chips and aimed at the mouth of the pot and began to throw.
After all, the Liu family came from a family of Shence Army generals, so her accuracy was pretty good. After putting in five chips, she won Fengdu with an absolute advantage. Feng Xuan glanced at his sister, Fengdu smiled, and drank several glasses of wine.
Her pretty face suddenly turned red.
After the penalty, the three of them continued to play. Later, Feng Xuan couldn't shirk it, so he played a game too. Naturally, he was defeated. After drinking a few glasses of wine, his face was rosy and he felt slightly tipsy.
I don’t know how many times better the cold feeling that seemed to repel people thousands of miles away seemed better before.
"To play pot throwing, you need to drink and have fun. Now that we have the wine, it's almost fun. My sister-in-law lost this game, so why not sing a song as a penalty." Mrs. Liu looked at her face, which was red, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
He came out of the feudal capital and said with a smile.
"What are you going to sing?" Fengdu has a cheerful personality and is young, so he often gives people a romantic feeling. When his elder sister-in-law said that she wanted to sing, she didn't have any stage fright, so she asked immediately.
"Sing "It's Hard to Say Goodbye"."
"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered..."
Shao Shude put down the military book in his hand, leaned on the back of the bed, closed his eyes and listened to the melodious singing in the courtyard.
I used to think that only lyrics and music could be sung, but I didn’t expect that Li Shangyin’s quatrains could also be sung with a different flavor.
The little lady's singing voice is very good, with twists and turns, soft and sincere emotions. Even if she is not a professional vocalist, she must have learned the relevant skills from others. Shao Shude quietly experienced the flowing water of longing in the song, until the last part
The note is finished, but there is still a feeling that it is still unfinished.
It may be said that he is the leader of an army, but compared with other generals, his life and entertainment are simply primitive. Last year, Li Xiaochang hosted a banquet for himself, and there were quite a few pretty singers and dancers at the table to entertain him, and he even tried to give it to himself. Later,
I declined politely. How can I still fight if I bring a beauty to the army?
"My sister-in-law has such a singing voice..." Ms. Liu was a little surprised after hearing this, and also a little jealous. The daughters of the Gongqing family are just different from those from the military academy families. After all, they can't compare with them in talent competition.
Feng Xuan glanced at Congmei and said, "There were two tunes just now."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a warrior in full armor walking over and said, "My family wants to listen to Bai Letian's "Cheng Yanzhou" after I stay here. I wonder which lady can sing it?"
The words were in a questioning tone, but looking at his expression, there was no doubt about it.
Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, while Fengdu frowned, seeming to recall the tune carefully.
"Come on, concubine." Feng Xuan saluted, then cleared his throat and started singing.
"Cheng Yanzhou, Cheng Yanzhou, the city is above Wuyuanyuan. Fandong Jiedubo explained, and suddenly saw the new city as the main road. The golden bird flew to spread praise and news, and the jianya passed arrows to gather the ministers...Cheng Yanzhou
, the emperor of Weicheng in Yanzhou is worried. Dezong made his own plan according to the plan, and it has nothing to do with the general strategy and the temple plot. I heard that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the rampant northern captives were the most difficult to control... I would like to share the kindness of today's generals and praise Han Gongfeng.
Descendants, who can translate this Yanzhou song into lyrics and listen to the Supreme Being?"
Shao Shude tapped his right hand to follow the rhythm, as if he was intoxicated. This poem must be sung by a big man from Guanxi, but it is quite interesting if it is sung by a small child. Anyway, I listen to it with gusto.
"Let's go back to Sanyuan." After singing the song, Shao Shude stood up, took the military book and map, and said.
"After staying, will you return to the camp today? Those two ladies outside are pretty and lovely. The military envoy might as well order them..." Wei Boqiu suggested.
"Next time. There is a date for the war, and I have to go back to Sanyuan to review the troops." Shao Shude said without any doubt.
"As commanded."
The group of people quickly left the house and walked towards the front yard. When passing by the yard, Shao Shude glanced subconsciously and met Feng Xuan's eyes. The other party was startled and quickly lowered his head. Shao Shude smiled.
, and was also surprised by its beauty.
"The arrogance of the northern barbarians is the most difficult to control..." Shao Shude sighed and got on his horse. Soon, surrounded by his own soldiers, he disappeared into the vast snowfield.
This time when we go south, we will prepare troops and reorganize our troops, store up food and fodder, and wait for the right time.
