Chapter 53: Yang Wen arrives
When Zhao Zhen arrived in Neihuang, the city had settled down, he first went to see Qi Gong and Wen Da, Wen Da was better, but he was tired, just rest, but Qi Gong had seven or eight wounds on his body, and he had been unconscious, but fortunately, Lu Qing sent someone to invite several Lang Zhong in the city, and used the best wound medicine to compress him, and his life was worry-free, which made Zhao Zhen feel at ease.
Then Zhao Zhen was protected by Yue Yang, walked around the city, appeased the people, and let them stop panicking, and then went to the government to sit down.
Due to the lack of Chinese soldiers in the army, Lu Qing was busy checking and seizing, Zhao Hazel had to personally record the merit, remember to open the city gate, it was the merit of the Gong Gong, guarding the passage of the north gate of Neihuang, killing Deng Lu and Ling Hui, it was Wen Da Yigong, repelling the Qian Qian is Fu Hong, Yue Yang Yigong, pacifying Neihuang, capturing Liu Youcai is Ma Kuo's merit, with Wenda as the first merit, and Qi Gong second, after writing here, Zhao Haji suddenly remembered that Fu Hong had not yet returned, and he was worried in his heart, so he let Yue Yang lead a hundred horse army out to respond.
This place has just been arranged, Lu Qing came in with a spring breeze on his face, first saluted Zhao Zhen, and then said: "Back to Your Highness, we took down Neihuang and got a total of 80,000 stones of grain and grass, 50,000 yuan of money, and more than 8,000 taels of gold and silver, originally there should be 100,000 stones of grain and grass, but Liu Qi secretly bought 20,000 stones for those people in the dock fort, and the silver money has not been recovered." He shook his head in pity.
Zhao Zhen was already happy to listen to the numbers, and said, "It's not bad to have these." ”
Lu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, with these grains and grasses, we don't have to worry about food for a short time, just ......." He smiled and frowned slightly: "Our army is uncertain, and it will be a little difficult to transport these grains and grass, so if you give up some ......." Lu Qing smiled and said nothing, revealing a painful look.
Zhao Zhen was not willing to put down the grain and grass, so he said: "If the people are separated, can they take all the grain and grass away?" ”
Lu Qing shook his head and said: "In that case, the flexibility of the army will be gone, I think if it doesn't work, I will dig a cellar in the Inner Yellow City, hide the grain first, take only part of it, and then come to get it later, it's just ...... We are uncertain, and we don't know when we will return to Neihuang next. ”
Zhao Zhen also frowned, according to Lu Qing's plan, they are likely to go to Shandong next, so wouldn't this food be a waste.
The two of them were thinking about it, so they heard the report from the colonel: "Back to the king, General Yue Yang is back, and he is waiting outside the door with General Fu Hong and a general named Yang Wen." ”
Zhao Zhen jumped up and shouted, "Invite them in!" ”
When the school went out, after a while, he led Yue Yang, Fu Hong, and Yang Wen in, Zhao Zhen saw Yang Wen for the first time, and looked at him first, only to see that he had a thin white face, three teeth to cover his mouth and beard, and there was always a little smile between his eyebrows, which would follow Yue Yang and Fu Hong to salute him, Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "The three generals don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”
Yue Yang said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the general was ordered to go out of the city, just outside the east city gate, received Mrs. Ma, and met this General Yang Wen again, asked the general about your whereabouts, and the general heard you talk about him, so I brought him to see you." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "General Yue did a very good job, but he retreated first, and he was rewarded when he turned back." ”
Yue Yang was on the side, and Fu Hong said again: "Back to Your Highness, the last general was plotted on the way to chase the stump, and he failed to catch the stump, and asked His Highness to punish him." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Mrs. Ma doesn't have to be like this, that is a brave general, and there are some who can't take it for a while, so you don't have to worry about it, but go down and rest first." Fu Hong retreated.
Zhao Zhen walked in front of Yang Wen and arched his hand: "Yang Jiedu, that day in Linghe Town, you helped Yang Zhi, and when you looked at it from afar, you were impressed by your heroic appearance, but you have not been able to see each other. Just as he was about to salute, Yang Wen hurriedly stopped him and said, "The king must not!" Yang Wen is just a general of the defeated army, and the court has removed me from my official position, this time I came to vote for the king, thinking that as long as I can serve the country and kill Hu, it is worth it to be a pawn in front of the king, how dare I accept the gift of the king. ”
Zhao Zhen didn't even dare, so he invited Yang Wen to sit down, and introduced Lu Qing to him, both of them were officials in the court, and they had also dealt with each other when they fought against gold before
Zhao Zhen waited for Yang Wen to sit down before he said, "Ask the envoy, where is Yang Zhi now?" "Yang Zhi is the first good man by his side, so Zhao Zhen's feelings for him are still different.
Yang Wen said: "The king doesn't know, our brother originally occupied Wanting County, after receiving the news of the king, he wanted to lead the troops to meet the king, but he felt that he came to meet each other like this, his hands were empty, and he didn't look good, just from the king's messenger to know, the king also invited Teng Shiyuan and Chen Fei of Nanhua County, so he planned to join forces with them, the troops were stronger, and then he came to meet the king, but I never thought that we had just arrived in Nanhua, and we met Liu Yu's brother Liu Guang, and led 30,000 elite soldiers to suppress, We rushed out easily, and were blocked by Liu Guang's general Cao Rong, and there were less than 700 soldiers left, and Yang Zhi was still wounded. ”
Zhao Zhen's face couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, he didn't expect that Yang Zhi's situation would reach such a point.
Yang Wen said: "Later, we marched to Qingzhou, Yu Lu robbed and killed a part of Jin General Harahei, beheaded Harahei, rescued thousands of people, they have a peach blossom mountain under the Qingzhou Mansion, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can hide soldiers, so Mr. Teng took us into Peach Blossom Mountain, after settling down, let me bring a hundred people, and go north with the five thousand taels of gold seized from the hands of Jin Bing, and give you military expenses." At this point, Yang Wen shouted outside: "Carry it in!" "Two of his men came in with a large package.
Yang Wen walked over and opened the package, the golden light flashed inside, all of them were gold leaves, Yang Wen said: "Each of us has fifty taels of gold hidden on our bodies, and we brought it here. ”
Zhao Zhen was full of feelings, so he said: "It's hard work!" This batch of gold is just a charcoal in the snow, and the king feels deeply gracious! After finishing, he bowed to Yang Wen and said, "The king has thanked him for the festival here." ”
Yang Wen hurriedly sat up, waved his hand again and again, and said: "The king doesn't have to be like this, Yang Wen will be a member of the king's account in the future, and the king can only send it, don't be so polite." Then he took out another letter and said, "This is Mr. Teng's letter to you, and he has important words and you here." ”
Zhao Zhen hurriedly took it, but he didn't open it immediately, and talked to Yang Wen again, Yang Wen said: "Also, on the way here, I caught a person, claiming to be the Neihuang Shou General, or Liu Yu's nephew, but he was kept outside, do you want to see the king?" ”
Zhao Zhen never imagined that Yang Wen would keep surprising him, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Jie Du to make a great contribution when he came, so bring him in." ”
Yang Wen went out in person, and after a while, he brought Liu Qi in and put him in front of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Qi coldly, where would Liu Qi still have the momentum of the past, so he got up, kowtowed to Zhao Zhen twice, and said, "See Your Highness." ”
"Didn't Liu Yu ask Jin Guo to be crowned emperor? Then you are indispensable to a prince, you and I are at the same level, so this worship is still exempt. Zhao Zhen said coldly.
Liu Qi said with a bitter face: "A person like a human dog, how dare he be on the same level as His Royal Highness, Uncle Rao is delusional, shameless, to be the emperor of Hu Rao'er, the crime deserves death, people are willing to vote in front of the king, so they will help the king pacify Hebei and catch my uncle...... No; It was Liu Yu's dog thief who thanked him, and asked the king to give him a chance. ”
As soon as Zhao Zhen asked for words, Lu Qing pulled him, and then reached out and wrote a few words on the table: "This person stays, and it is still useful." So Zhao Zhen changed his words and said: "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity to see if you can be used by me!" Wan Xiang Yue said: "Let people take him down, and take care of him." ”
Yue Yang answered, called two schools in, and dragged Liu Qi out.
Zhao Zhen said to Yang Wen again: "Jiedu has made this great achievement, and the king wants to reward him." ”
Yang Wen said solemnly: "The king doesn't have to make any merits, as long as he can kill the Jin Tartars with the king and welcome back the two saints, Yang Wen will have his wish." ”
Zhao Zhen was in a stirring mood, looking at Yang Wen and feeling happy, although there was no systematic detection, but he believed that Yang Wen's loyalty to him was definitely not low, so he grabbed Yang Wen's hand and said: "Don't worry, Zhao Zhen will fulfill the grand wish of Jiedu!" ”
Lu Qing came over with a smile and said, "Okay, Your Highness, Jiedu must have been tired all the way, and he caught Liu Qi just now and fought again, but please rest Jiedu first." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Exactly, exactly, Yue Yang, you arrange for Jiedu, let them eat something first, and then rest in peace." ”
Yue Yang secretly said in his heart: "I'm going to be a chore now." Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still agreed, so he came to invite Yang Wen to come down to the court, Yang Wen resigned Zhao Zhen and Lu Qing, and left with Yue Yang.
Zhao Zhen kept sending Yang Wen down the lobby, and when he came back, he opened Teng Shiyuan's letter in front of Lu Qing and read it by the light.
Teng Shiyuan's letter is also very simple, first greeting Zhao Zhen, then the reason why he can't go north for the time being, and finally wrote at the end of the letter: "...... Hebei has been in trouble for a long time, the grain production is not continuous, the king is short of soldiers and horses, and he can't gain a foothold in Hebei, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Jin soldiers return to the north and Liu Yu is insufficient, so he will go south to Jingdong Road for the time being, recruit troops and buy horses, and Xu Tu will ...... later. ”
When Zhao Zhen saw this, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Lu Qing: "It seems that the hero sees the same thing, and this Teng Shiyuan also persuaded me to go south." Then he handed the letter to Lu Qing.
