Chapter 679: The Pit for the First Arrival
Once the imperial court appoints and sends the imperial capital to take charge, it means that the war is about to begin in the near future.
It is now August of the fourteenth year of Chunxi, and there is only half a year left for Ye Qing to prepare for war, and once it is the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid that the war will start immediately.
But whether the specific Song Dynasty court will carry out a war with heavy thunder and small rain, or whether it will lengthen and spread out the war on the Huai River and the Qinling Mountains, no one can say now.
Of course, it depends on Wang Huai and Han Cheng's plans, and what kind of war outcome they want.
But no matter what, Ye Qing now has a lot of things to deal with now, compared to the crisp and neat start of the army, the complicated and boring preparations on the premise make him feel a headache.
But fortunately, now everything is basically on the right track, as long as the imperial court does not intend to obstruct itself from all aspects, then Ye Qing believes that he can do a good job in an orderly manner at the beginning of spring next year.
For Li Mu and Lin Zhong to practice in the slanting wind and drizzle building, from now on, the Huaiyang Army and the Gaoyou Army will become Li Zhongfang and Tian Lin, who were promoted by Ye Qing, to serve as the commanders, watching Li Mu and Lin Zhong quit and get on the bus at night in Yangzhou City, and tomorrow they will rush to Lizhou Road to meet Yu Yunwen, Ye Qing's heart is also relieved.
The Fifth Route Army now has three routes in hand, and now there are only the commanders of the Tianchang Army and the Lianshui Army left, Xin Qiji is running around the Tianchang Army, and the Lianshui Army obviously has to let Ye Qing run in person.
Xu Fan, the commander of the Xuyi Army, who was appointed as the commander of the Xuyi Army with the most complete number of people on Huainan East Road, finally made up for Ye Qing and the two hundred pro-troops led by Jia She.
Xu Fan has always been very mysterious, even if Ye Qing has been in Yangzhou for more than a year, he has not met Ye Qing a few times, but for some reason, the relationship between Xu Fan and Ye Qing, in the eyes of Chen Cishan and others, always feels that they seem to belong to the kind of subordinate relationship that has a heart, and it should be extremely close.
"I think Xu Fan should be the real confidant of the adult, just like ...... Lord Xin is the same. Liu Keshi followed Chen Cishan's side and said with a boring analysis.
"So what? Are you jealous? Chen Cishan held the teacup, looked at the inn opposite and said lightly: "Since you are jealous that Lord Ye trusts Xu Fan who has never met a few times, then you might as well do more things to make Lord Ye happy, share your worries for adults, and let Lord Ye regard you as a confidant from now on." ”
Liu Keshi pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then said firmly: "You just look at it, as long as the adults give me a chance, I will definitely make the adults satisfied, once the war starts next year, I, Liu Keshi, must let the adults feel at ease in the front of the war, and do not have to worry about the supplies of grain and grass in the rear." ”
"So confident?" Chen Cishan kept staring at the inn opposite the teahouse and asked.
"That's nature." Liu Keshi said proudly, and then stabbed Chen Cishan with his hand.
The tea in his hand was stabbed by Liu Keshi and spilled on the back of his hand, and Chen Cishan, who was reflexive, immediately put down the teacup and reached out to wipe it on Liu Keshi's shoulder: "See, we'll go in when they go in." ”
"Are you so interesting?" Liu Keshi looked speechlessly at Chen Cishan, who was wiping the tea on his hands with his shirt, and asked.
"Anyway, your first impression in the adult's mind is sloppy, and you don't care about this time." Chen Cishan said as a matter of course.
"That's Liu Keshi in the past, not me now!" Liu Keshi accentuated his tone
Righteous way, Liu Keshi, who now dresses himself up quite neatly every day, regrets nothing more than that he didn't care about his image before, so that he was always ridiculed by Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi from time to time.
"Where is Liu Dexiu?" Chen Cishan has been staring at Ye Qing for the past few days to explain his affairs, looking at the few people who got off the carriage on the street, and asked involuntarily.
"I went to Chuzhou, and I didn't tell Lord Ye." Liu Keshi replied.
Chen Cishan was stunned for a moment, and then let out a meaningful sigh, there was a courtyard in Chuzhou when the Han family was in charge of the Five Rivers Army, and after the Five Rivers Army was transferred to Jiankang, the Han family transferred the Xuyi Army to Chuzhou, not for anything else, just to protect their huge courtyard.
Hong Zun and Li Zhixiao stepped out of the carriage again, and they originally went to the official post house, because the documents they brought were lost at some point, so they had no choice but to find an inn to live in.
I wanted to go directly to the government office to find Ye Qing, but Ye Qing was not in the government office, and the sky was already dark, so the two had no choice but to settle down at the inn with their entourage.
Under the dim light at the door of the inn, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun entered the inn with their entourage, and in the face of a few people who could not issue identity certificates, the innkeeper shook his head and couldn't help, until Li Zhixiao took out a piece of cash and put it on the table, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and agreed to their stay.
But I still remind them that there has been a homicide in Yangzhou City recently, and maybe there will be someone from the Criminal Division to investigate, and then this inn will not be able to manage so much, and I hope you don't involve the small shop.
Li Zhixiao looked at the shopkeeper's sneer, he really didn't believe it, now that he had arrived in Yangzhou, he, as a person in the same system, would he still be afraid of the investigation of the Criminal Division.
So he looked at the innkeeper and said disdainfully: "This official stays in your inn, it is to give you face, and tomorrow, you will know who this official is." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhixiao's eyes involuntarily glanced at the ingot of silver that he had just thrown to the shopkeeper, and he had already begun to think about it in his heart, and when he took office, should he give this shopkeeper a little hardship! Let this shopkeeper cry bitterly and regret today's actions!
As Li Zhixiao, Hong Zun and others entered the second floor of the inn, the arrest of the Criminal Division had already begun to check the shops from door to door, and some pedestrians and people who looked unkind and sneaky.
The innkeeper stood at the door, looking at the people who were hanging waist knives not far from both sides, and after coughing a few times, he turned around and returned to the inn again.
Ye Qing on the other side, after seeing the green bricks fired by his porcelain kiln with Zhao Shichun, returned to the mansion accompanied by Jia Shi and other pro-soldiers.
In any case, in the past three months, the green bricks and cement that can be fired are not very satisfactory to Ye Qing, but they make Lu Yanlun and Xiao Zhen overjoyed, and they can't wait to move to Zhao Shichun's porcelain kiln to live.
However, after Ye Qing's pouring of cold water, a few people quickly calmed down, and began to continue to think about how to make better green bricks and cement.
Bai Chun sat in the study, watched Ye Qing come in, and slowly got up with a tired expression, and then sat down together, thought for a while and said, "Don't you let Mo Xiaobao and them come back?" ”
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and then saw the letter in front of Bai Chun, after the words iron clothes came into view, Ye Qing had no interest in looking at it, it was nothing more than a bargain between the two women.
What's more, if you are involved in the matter between two people and women, you will end up in it
It must be himself who is hurt, so Ye Qing doesn't plan to do the things that are not flattering on both sides.
"I don't plan to do it yet." Ye Qing pressed the letter with the word iron on it under the other letters and said.
Looking at Ye Qing's appearance, Bai Chun muttered a coward, and then was pinched off by Ye Qing in retaliation.
"But firearms ......." Bai Chun had to remind Ye Qing that the firearms and other things he used in Wuzhou in the Jin Kingdom at the beginning were obviously impossible to hand over to one of the Five Route Army.
"With Lao Liu Tou and others, nothing will happen." Ye Qing sighed, then thought for a while and said, "I plan to go to Sizhou tomorrow, and the preparation of the Lianshui Army is imperative." ”
"They've arrived?" Bai Chun was stunned for a moment and asked.
Ye Qing nodded, before he could speak, he heard a knock on the door, looking at Fang Fei who walked in, Ye Qing got up, and did not forget to rub Bai Chun's hair in Bai Chun's annoying voice, and then followed Fang Fei to the front yard.
"Master, Tao Qian said that he has something important to look for you." Since Fang Fei came back from Ye Qing, every time she saw Ye Qing, her face was always red, especially when Ye Qing looked at her, she always couldn't help but bow her head, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Ye Qing.
Looking at the nervous and shy Fang Fei, Ye Qing treated Bai Chun like he did, and when he stepped out of the moon gate, he didn't forget to mess up Fang Fei's delicate bun, and then followed Tao Qian to the front hall under Tao Qian's non-stop rolling eyes.
"When will you take them in, Liu Qingyan has already passed the door, this Fang Fei is not small, are you planning to raise people in your house until you are old? Either hurry up and find a good family for others, but then it depends on whether the princess is willing or not. Tao Qian said again.
"Aren't you a little too much of a concierge? It's good to watch the door, I don't need you for the things in my lord's backyard...... Eunuchs worry. Ye Qing said politely.
"You won't be afraid...... Afraid that the third wife in the backyard will be angry, right? Tao Qian continued to gossip and said: "Three wives and four concubines, the old man will do the math for you, Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng are considered to be the main wives, originally...... The girl who smoked lightly could also be regarded as a girl, but who would have thought that Zhong Qing would squeeze out a ...... place. ”
"Are you finished?" Someone's old face was dark, and the girl's heart was rippling in the red mansion in Lin'an, and now that he was back in Yangzhou, Fang Fei caught him off guard again, and if it went on like this, Ye Qing felt that he was too ...... Excellent.
When Tao Qian was about to speak, Ye Qing directly pushed open the door of the front hall and walked in, while Liu Keshi looked at Ye Qing with excitement and said, "My lord, it's done." ”
"Did it go well?" After Ye Qing sat down, he motioned for Liu Keshi to sit down as well.
"It's not too smooth, but it's okay overall, Li Zhixiao is still a little difficult, but in the end, he still didn't hold Chen Cishan's official authority." Liu Keshi said lightly.
"We don't have to hide the news of their arrest too much, otherwise it will be more self-defeating and make people suspect that we have deliberately designed ......." Ye Qing thought for a while and said.
"But once the news ......." Liu Keshi said with some concern.
"I will go to Sizhou tomorrow, it will take about a month to come and go, Xin Qiji's side is almost there, Li Quan has believed it." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Liu Keshi was happy, this Li Quan was recommended by him, so for him, Li Quan was able to get Ye Qing's praise, which made him more excited than praising him Liu Keshi.
