Chapter 30: Stargazing and Self-Pity
Along the way, Ge Qiuyan didn't find a chance to create a big hero in the bloody land with her husband.
Although she is not particular, but Yun Zheng is more particular, in order to give birth to a heroic son, King Zhao Wuling and his queen succeeded in creating people on the bloody land after the war, but their son finally imprisoned Lao Tzu in the Dune Palace and starved to death.
Sitting in the carriage and reading the paperwork, Ge Qiuyan lay on his lap and made a cat-like sound, which made people upset, and slapped her on the ass, the cat-like sound disappeared, Ge Qiuyan kicked his legs twice, rolled up the thin blanket and faced the wall alone.
There are always endless documents, there are always endless war reports, the soldiers of Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion have been killed into blood gourds, the Liao army swept over like a tide, and retreated like a tide, the embankment built by the Great Song Dynasty is barely stable, but some places have been impacted in pieces.
The Bazhou garrisoned by the Xin'an army has been broken through by the Liao, the wolf city walled, Tianjiazhai, when the walled city has been lost, now the Xin'an army has all retreated to Yantou Village backed by the support of the swamp death, the general of the Xin'an army He Lang has sent a desperate letter to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, ready to live and die with Yantou Village, and hope that the imperial court will prepare for the fall of Yantou Village as soon as possible.
Once Bazhou is lost, the next person in trouble will be Xiongzhou, once Xiongzhou is also breached, the Great Song Dynasty's defense line in Hejian Mansion will be torn open, and there will be no danger behind Xiongzhou. The cavalry of the Liao people will move south, and if they want to block it, it will be too difficult.
Whether it's Yun Zheng. Or Di Qing, the view is to keep the enemy out of the country, if possible, it is best to burn the war on the land of the enemy country, the Great Song Dynasty is now under the constraints of Wang Anshi's variant of the green seedling method and the relatively gentle farmland and water conservancy law, and the field gradually has some vitality, and at this time, no matter what, let the cavalry of the Liao people come in and harm the scourge. If the people's enthusiasm for production is destroyed by the war disaster, it is not known what the years will be when this enthusiasm is regathered.
Yun Zheng put down the paperwork in his hand. muttered to himself: "In the end, the war came too hastily, too hastily, the pressure on Di Qing was too heavy, and the Liao State that came to attack the country should not be underestimated." It's still a bit early to plot against Yan Yun.
The power of the Kong family has not yet spread in Yanyun, people like Guo Hengchuan are everywhere in Yanyun, and it is impossible for the army to enter Yanyun and have a response. ”
The carriage of the Yun family was probably the most comfortable carriage of this era, the wheel of the carriage was stained with a thick circle of fish gelatin, and there was a big hole in the fish gelatin, and the outside of the hole was dense ramie silk thread, and the outermost part was wrapped with fish gelatin, and some springs were added under the carriage to reduce the bumps.
Such a carriage is barely comparable to the rubber-wheeled carriage of later generations. That's it, or the frame car is not full of air in the case of comparison.
However, compared to the wooden carriage of the Great Song Dynasty, it was simply heaven, and the carriage of Di Qing's family took less than a cup of tea. Yun Zheng felt that the bones in his body had fallen apart. If the carriage walked on the bluestone pavement, the upper and lower rows of teeth would cluck, and every word would be said with a trill.
Looking at the Zhujia River at sunset, Yun Zheng was full of emotion, the river surface was sparkling, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time. There are mountains, there is water. There is a plain, which should be a land of fish and rice, but because of the war, the area around the Zhujia River is also like a ghost.
The ripening fields should be crowded with people, and only some gray-haired old men are working in the fields, and neither the young nor the women and children can be seen.
Yun Zheng ordered to stop, got out of the carriage, walked straight to the crop field on the side of the road, pinched off an ear of wheat and rubbed it in his hand, blew off the wheat husk, threw it in his mouth and ate it, the fresh wheat tasted very fragrant, and it would taste even more fragrant if it was roasted over the fire.
The old man who knelt on the ground and didn't dare to lift his head was lifted up, and he sat on the ridge and asked: "Old man, the wheat is already yellow, and it will be harvested in three or two days. ”
The old man cautiously accompanied the smiling face and said: "The military master said that he was joking, where did the old man come from, the lonely old man." ”
Yun Zheng didn't seem to hear the old man's quibble and continued to smile and said: "Our Great Song army killed more than 50,000 Liao people in the side pass, and when we return to Yanmen Pass, we will kill more Liao people, and if we kill more people, this land will be vacant, and the Zhujiahe area will no longer be a border pass, and the border pass of the Great Song Dynasty will advance to the Xijing area of the Liao Kingdom, which will become the mainland, and there will be no military disasters in the future, and it will soon be prosperous, and the imperial court will also send officials to govern it, and the military law will not be able to control you."
Uncle, good days are coming, don't be afraid. ”
The old man's cloudy eyes widened and he couldn't help asking, "What you said is true?" ”
Yun Zheng laughed and said, "Naturally, it's true." ”
After speaking, he got up and left, grabbed a handful of ears of wheat and said to the old man with a smile: "How about exchanging a piece of flatbread for a handful of ears of wheat for my father-in-law?" ”
The monkey smiled and took out a piece of flatbread with a thickness of one inch and a square foot from the horse bag and put it in the hands of the old man, seeing that the handsome man ate the sweetness of the ears of wheat, he took out another flatbread, jumped into the wheat field, picked up the full ears of wheat, pinched a handful, hugged them in his arms, followed Yun Zheng and returned to the team.
The old man held two flatbreads and opened his mouth several times to ask the name of this military master, but he still didn't dare, looked at the flatbread in his arms, and looked at the green mountains not far away, and felt that this military master's words should be credible, and his son and daughter-in-law should be able to come back to harvest the wheat, and if he waited, maybe the wheat would fall into the ground......
The army camped on the bank of the Zhujia River at night, Yun Zheng spread a layer of mats on the beach by the river, lay on it with his hands behind his head, and looked at the stars in the sky without blinking, the Milky Way was like a belt inlaid with gems, from the end of the sky to the top of his head, and he couldn't find the morning glory Vega, because there were too many stars.
Yun Zheng's favorite scenery is the starry sky, because only the stars have the same experience as himself, and the starlight he sees now does not know how many years ago the energy light produced after the explosion of the star is obviously in front of him, but the appearance of the stars is an afterimage left in the past.
A smell of roasted ears of wheat came, Ge Qiuyan, Su Shi and the monkey surrounded a small fire, talking quietly while roasting the ears of wheat, Su Shi's mouth was black, and so were monkeys, only Ge Qiuyan was more elegant, because she didn't eat roasted ears of wheat, and chewed a bag of apricots that were not fully ripe.
"Why does the handsome always like to look at the stars?" The monkey ate a large handful of wheat, looked up at the sky and asked Su Shi.
Su Shi said with a smile: "The benevolent person is happy with the mountain, the wise person is happy with the water, and the person with both benevolence and wisdom is happy with the starlight, this is a kind of realm ......"
Su Shi's saliva flowed down as he spoke, not because of greed, but because the movement of Ge Qiu chewing green apricots next to him was too big, his saliva didn't listen to him at all, just now out of curiosity, he also ate a green apricot, and now his teeth don't dare to bite hard things, and he doesn't know how the master ate that pile of green apricots.
"Ma'am, you said that the worm is not pregnant?" The monkey endured it for a long time, and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Ge Qiuyan glanced at the monkey and said disdainfully: "Han Niu's child should be born at this time, you have scourged the insects and considered a white scourge." Anyway, when I went out, the worm's stomach was still flat. ”
The monkey sighed and said: "When I went out, I thought about it well, and when I went home, I married the little worm through the door, and the lady bought a small yard for me and the little worm next to the Guozi Prison, I went to see it, the two-entry set of courtyards is not as atmospheric as our house, but it is also a rare good yard, I heard that it used to be the house of the Guozi Supervisor, and it was only shot after it was released."
The family is settled, but the child is gone......"
Ge Qiuyan scolded with a smile: "Does the child see if God will give it to you, do you want it?" Our family's door style has been cut clean by Han Niu, if you have another private here, Mrs. may be so angry that she hangs herself, do you think the little worm has a big belly and looks good before he gets married?
You are fighting for your life outside, and you have an official and a half-job, and the government does not recognize the children born before marriage, and you don't know how strict the government's primogeniture and grandson system is.
In order for Hanniu's children to become Hanniu's eldest son and grandson, Mrs. doesn't know how many times she has run to the Ministry of War, and has sent countless favors, coupled with the affection of the Hou Ye, people reluctantly refilled Hanniu's wedding date, and said that the young lady of the Zhao family was the genuine lady who married Hanniu before the expedition. ”
Hearing Ge Qiuyan talk about Miss Zhao, Su Shi knew that it was not good, so he was about to stand up and slip away, and was dragged by Ge Qiuyan to sit on the sand, and then heard Ge Qiuyan's mouth spew out a sentence of heart-wrenching words.
"Where is Su Dacai going to go? Zhao Yingchun has already shown his heart, the dignified county lord sent all the shoes and clothes made by himself, why didn't you go back with a word?
Don't tell me any military regulations, and don't tell me that the army can't help you send a letter home, a fool like Han Niu knows how to write "I'm fine" on a big piece of paper with three crooked characters for people to send back, you are a great talent, can't you write a love poem and send it back? You have written so much to the sisters in the Qinglou, why can't you write a word in front of your real wife? If my conscience is eaten by dogs, I can't learn from your master, and I still keep the poems he wrote to me back then. ”
Ge Qiuyan spoke, and patted her towering chest proudly, others didn't know that Yun Zheng knew very well that she had a beautiful purse hanging on her chest, and she never took it off except for taking a bath.
Yun Zheng turned over and roared in a low voice: "Don't you let people take a good look at the stars?" (To be continued)
