Chapter 61 Nantian Dali Kingdom

Yun Zheng waved his hand and sent away a group of Wushengjun family members, now the Wusheng army camp is slowly becoming empty, those family members are going to Huanzhou to settle down, Jiang Zhe is going to be the chief general of the fortress in Huanzhou, he took Wusheng Army to pick out the remaining soldiers to go there to my family, this is his own request, his ancestral home itself is in Huanzhou, this time he plans to return to his ancestral land with his family.

Although the Huanzhou fortress has been built, the life of any of the pioneers who developed it is not very good, this is almost certain, they need to reclaim fields in the wasteland, they need to dig coal, they need to build a lot of blacksmithing workshops, and even have to guard against the unexpected arrival of the Western Xia, and the 3,000 soldiers need to protect 30,000 women and children, this is the reality he will face.

Jiang Zhe didn't think it was bitter, his son who was just two years old sat on his horse, and there were his mother and wife in the carriage beside him, and he could hear the cry of women in the carriage, who were unwilling to leave the rich Chengdu to go to the desolate Huanzhou.

Jiang Zhe's two-year-old son was still ignorant, poked his head out of his father's cloak, looked curiously at the people and horses walking outside, and saw a scalper pulling a cart passing by, so he patted his father's armor with a small palm and asked him to watch it together.

Jiang Zhe looked back at Yun Zheng who waved goodbye to him, and yelled at his wife who was crying in the carriage: "What are you crying for, your husband was originally from Huanzhou, and my father moved his family to Shuzhong because he was afraid of the Xixia people, my grandfather, my uncle, and my uncle all died in that land, and only my father escaped."

This is the shame of the Jiang family, if we don't run away, we will go back to Huanzhou, this is my life, and it is yours. ”

The cry in the carriage was louder, but Jiang Zhe felt very happy, hugged his son in front of him, and walked to the front of the team with a shout, he couldn't wait to rush to Huanzhou now. It's your own paradise......

He talked to Yun Zheng and knew what kind of development Wushengjun would have in Huanzhou, where there was coal and iron ore. As long as the Wusheng Army begins to develop, the Huanzhou Fort will become the fundamental place of the Young Army, and its importance will far exceed that of the Dujiangyan Barracks.

A city of steel, Jiang Zhe carried such a blueprint in his arms, and he was already fantasizing about how high-spirited he would be standing on that castle made of steel. Where can the most beautiful dreams in the world be found, how can the two small shops in Shu be compared with them, it is just a small chicken liao used to shelter from the wind and rain, and what he left to his son can only be a hero-like back, a steel-like fortress, where the most terrifying storm in the world can be sheltered. You must not be like your father who never forgets his dead relatives when he is dying. It was too helpless and painful, and Jiang Zhe didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Unlike Jiang Zhe's ambition, the veteran sat on the ox cart without any ideas, and a general who talked and counted asked everyone to go to the Huanzhou Fortress. Then it's good to go, as long as there is no shortage of food and clothing, the army can go anywhere. took out the white rice cake from his arms and bit it a little, took a bite and handed it to the child behind him.

"Eat slowly, we have to walk for two months from Chengdu to Huanzhou, and we have been to that place in Huanzhou before. If there were no Western Xia barbarians, it would be a good place, but it would be desolate. ”

The old soldier muttered nonsense, while picking off a piece of mud from the ox's tail with pity, 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 want to go back to Huanzhou?" ”

The veteran looked at the quiet Chengdu Plain and smiled: "Because we have nothing to do." Let's kill the bandits in Shu, but it's a pity, without the bandits, we will have no food and clothing, dogs, robbers are our food and clothing parents. ”

"There are robbers in Huanzhou?"

The veteran smiled and said, "Yes." That's why we're going to Huanzhou, on the one hand, we have to farm the land, grow vegetables, strike iron, I heard that we have to plant trees and dig charcoal to sell for money, and on the other hand, we have to rob the robbers there, stinky boys, grow up quickly, I heard the general said that when you are thirteen years old, you will all enter the youth army, and you will be trained by the best samurai, and you will be literate, and when you get up, the general will take you to rob the Xixia Palace, and the last time the lord brought the lord with few people, and did not grab many things. ”

Children like to listen to the story of the veteran Jiazi battalion going to Western Xia, as long as they hear this story, they can't wait to grow up quickly, and follow the general to find the most vicious robber to rob money.

This time the move, and the last time is obviously different, the women and children have ox carts, mule carts, or donkey carts to sit on, the military horses around them are their fathers and brothers, or husbands, they are bright and powerful, the most powerful soldiers, so there is nothing to worry about, behind them is the panting ox cart pulling grain, the grain is like a mountain, I heard people say that they can eat for two years......

Liu Yucheng stood at the head of Chengdu City, watching the long convoy slowly walking west along the city wall, and said to Su Xun, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with emotion: "In a short period of time, the Wusheng army has accumulated so much money and grain, it is really unbelievable, Ming Yun, they all said that the Great Song Dynasty was rich, and after watching the march and migration of the Wusheng Army, the old man believed that the Great Song Dynasty was really rich." ”

Standing at the head of the city in the early spring, you can still feel the slightest cold, but Su Xun shook a folding fan and said with a smile: "It is true that the Great Song Dynasty is rich, but if you want to see other armies as rich as the Wusheng army, it is difficult, this is a special case, and it cannot be imitated."

Not to mention whether those people have the courage to conquer and suppress the bandits, even if they have the courage to win the battle, it is still a question, those people who have prepared for Wu Shengjun before can't see it, why, now their eyes are red?

Did you see the three thousand military horses that Wu Shengjun escorted to these family members? 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 elite heavy armored soldiers, two commanders, one is Liang Ji, the other is Peng Jiu, these two people are fierce generals who have been killed from thousands of troops, Wu Shengjun didn't plan to listen to others' mouths, if they are not convinced, just go and grab it. ”

Liu Yucheng nodded and looked at the foot guards walking on both sides of the convoy from a distance and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't think anyone has the courage to do this, but you should be careful when you go to Fengxiang Mansion, you killed Wen Hanchen, Qinzhou, and Fengxiang Mansion There are many people who are not convinced." ”

Su Xun closed the folding fan and patted it on his hand and said: "Then kill a few more, Wu Shengjun is escorting his parents, wife and children this time, if anyone dares to come nonsense, the end must be very miserable." ”

"There is no opponent in Shuzhong, and you have begun to fight the idea of the Tubo people in the Snow Mountain? Regarding the war between the Tubo people on the Great Snow Mountain, the Great Song Dynasty did not participate in the war, did not express its position, and did not stop it, but why did your 500-strong army appear on the battlefield? Someone who has already come out to command the army is Zhou Tong! ”

"There is no such thing, Wu Shengjun has set up a caravan, specializing in trading with the Tubo people, you know, Zhou Tong has been running around with the caravan non-stop during these times, since Fu Bi owes money and does not pay it back, he has specially collected war horses for Wu Shengjun, the general means to form a cavalry of three thousand people, now there are only 1,200 cavalry, the gap is very large, go to the snow mountain is nothing more than to collect war horses, they will not participate in the war, what kind of battle are five hundred people."

Liu Yucheng looked at Su Xun and said: "This is the best, if the war of the Tubo people in the snow mountain is led to Shuzhong, it will be a real fire, the old man does not want those barbarians to come down from the plateau to scourge Shuzhong, Shuzhong is rare to be as quiet and peaceful as today, no one is allowed to destroy this peace, and Yun Zheng will not succeed." ”

Cao Rong, who was standing on the city wall with Liu Yucheng, suddenly said: "Ming Gong, the Tubo people did not go down the mountain, but I received news that Nong Zhigao, the leader of the source department, established the Nantian Dali Kingdom after defeating the insatiable Jiaozhi people, and repeatedly tried to march to Yongzhou, His Majesty was furious and ready to send troops to chase and suppress, but the Lin family, the girl selected by our Shu, was pregnant after being awarded the title of Zhaorong Niangniang, and His Majesty suspended the march in order to accumulate blessings for the child in Zhaorong Niangniang's womb. I think that sooner or later we will enter Yongzhou to fight. ”

"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, and said with a smile: "Zhuyu is in front, and the lowly position will not join in the fun, our Chengdu Mansion has a strong general, and we don't need the Yongxing Army to fight."

I heard that Yundu Jian is already preparing to go to Guangning to make a fortune, for the custom of Wu Shengjun, the humble post is both envious and relieved, envious of the fact that people can roll in wealth, and the peace of mind is that there are always generals in Shuzhong to take care of the safety, and it is better for such people to guard their homes well under the wings of a strong army. ”

Liu Yucheng was about to get angry, but he heard Su Xun smile and said: "There are a lot of Cao Dujian adults, and the lower officials have thanked the capital supervisor for Yun Zheng's good intentions, Wu Shengjun is the first in every war, and never descends, of course he wants to go to Guangning to quell the chaos, Yongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty has forty fetters in Yongzhou, each with bad intentions, it is very good to teach a lesson, and my general also wants to go, but I heard that this time the imperial court is ready to send the privy deputy envoy Di Gong to personally lead the troops, as we all know, Di Gong is from the side of the Sai, to Yan Yan, Huanqing; The soldiers in Jingyuan and other places have a good impression, once they send troops, they will inevitably call the old department, this time I am afraid that there is nothing to do with our people in Shu. ”

Cao Rong laughed and said: "I am a useless natural hope that the world will always be peaceful, and there will be no war, I will wait for all the swords and guns to be put into storage, and the horses will be released in Nanshan."

However, this kind of war is a temptation for heroes, and it is really painful to not be able to feast on the food in front, haha, it is a little embarrassing to avoid the war and be called a coward, and it is not good to tell my sister, if Wu Shengjun wants to go to the battlefield, I can share it with my sister, and ask her to listen to the heavens, as for whether it is successful or not, it depends on how the official family handles it. ”

Liu Yucheng was even more angry when he heard this, pointing at Cao Rong and facing his grinning scoundrel face, he didn't know what to say, and he knew very well that no matter what he said, he would be treated as a deaf ear, so he couldn't help but put down his hand, waved his sleeves and left the city angrily.
