"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

From the south gate of the inner city of Jinan, there was a short and nervous, strange accent, with the roar of this sound, hundreds of Dongfan soldiers each holding knives and guns all the way trotting all the way to escort several cars and horses galloped out of the south gate, splashing pieces of muddy water.

The battalion officer who was in charge of guarding the south gate hurriedly ordered the men to move the horses away to make way for the brigade. He could clearly see that the vehicles escorted by the Dongfan soldiers with broken hair and tattoos were all planted with Li Huayu's recognition flags on the canopies.

"I think it's the relatives in the house who want to come out for a visit."

The battalion officer explained to himself in his heart. can let hundreds of Dongfan soldiers escort the trip, but it is not Li Huayu himself, except for the relatives in the house, who can there be?

Under the escort of the eastern soldiers, the convoy went out of the south gate and turned eastward along the city wall. On the avenue in the direction of Zouping and Zhangqiu, watching the convoy gallop all the way, it is definitely not as simple as stepping into the green.

Sili Mountain, because it is named after Sihuali from the south gate of the inner city of old Jinan, also known as Chixia Mountain, the reason why it has such a name is because the coggywood trees planted all over the mountain turn red like a red glow in autumn. It is a veritable mountain in the city, containing Qili Mountain in the south and Ma'anshan in the north. There are both rolling mountains and open flat land, and the scenery is no less beautiful than Thousand Buddha Mountain.

This is now the place where Wu Fengxian's cavalry is stationed.

After completing the morning course with a team of more than 1,000 horses recruited from Mengcheng, Bozhou, Xuzhou, and Fengyang, Wu ordered the first person to pass down the order, all the cavalry dismounted, walked the horses, and then drank some warm water and fed a few handfuls of fried salt beans. Let the horses regain some strength as well. Then go and enjoy their forage.

When the cavalry dispersed under the leadership of their respective officers, several figures flashed from a tea shed on the side of the road.

"General Wu, you really train well!"

Wu Feng looked at the person who came first, but it was an acquaintance. Raw white face, very good-looking. A military uniform is cut very well. Walking on the streets, it is sure to attract the screams of many girls, handkerchiefs, sachets and other objects.

"But it turned out to be Brigade Commander Zhang. How? I didn't train the troops in Changqing and lead the team, and came to Jinan, but I have official business to do? Wu Fengxian looked at the hundred and ten soldiers who crowded the tea shed with anger, as well as the seven or eight cars under the shade of the trees, and was quite jealous. He is also a brigade commander, and he is still stationed in Jinan, and in terms of military pay and various expenses, the cost of a cavalry brigade is at least twice as much as that of an infantry brigade. But. But he is having a hard time. It's not even as good as when it was a garrison! However, the Zhang Linghu in front of him seemed to be quite nourished, and those cars seemed to be full of property.

"Brigade Commander Zhang was able to bring his men and horses to me Shi Shiran watched the training for a long time, and when the officer went back, he had to punish the patrol horse severely, how to do the errand! If General Zhang touches him like this on the battlefield, I am afraid that the people in the lower department will suffer a big loss! ”

"It's a joke for General Wu! Don't tell lies in front of real people, there is an outhouse on West Street in the South Gate, and two fans are singing in it. Nothing to do today. But he went there. ”

Wu Feng first looked into the tea shed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Get an outer house." Raising a powder is such a thing, we adults probably won't care, and we are too lazy to care. However, you brought so many people into the city, I am afraid that you have violated the military discipline of his old man. ”

The sweat on Zhang Linghu's face came down when he boarded, and he hurriedly cleaned up his clothes and bowed deeply to Wu Fengxian: "How do you say this." I also asked Brother Wu for some advice. ”

"The clerical master in your camp should be killed! Have you ever read the official document issued by the governor's yamen? All the generals in charge of the subordinate troops can only bring no more than 50 personal soldiers when they enter the province and go to the line to meet them, regardless of the infantry cavalry. I'm afraid you're bringing more than fifty people today, right? One sentry is enough! Wu Fengxian reminded Zhang Linghu with a sneer.

Zhang Linghu took out a handkerchief sprinkled with incense powder to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and forced a smile to himself: "This." Naturally, it is known below. Today, however, the situation is somewhat special. He pointed to the big cars under the shade of the trees, "Don't hide it, we're here to congratulate our young marshal." If you bring these things, you will naturally have to be escorted by someone. He lowered his voice and pretended to be intimate with Wu Fengxian.

"Daoga? What congratulations? Is there any joy for our young marshal? Wu Fengxian pretended to be confused.

"Old Wu, don't pretend to me. I know it in Changqing, can you people in Licheng County, outside Jinan, know it? Zhang Linghu's face was full of intimacy, "Neither of us is a person brought out by the eldest young marshal, and it is different from Wang Lung, but we have had a relationship with the eldest young marshal before." People who have made great efforts for the old lord and the young marshal, we have to have our own eyes and be able to do it. I learned about the happy event of the eldest young marshal, and I was promoted to the rank and the marquis, so I quickly packed up these congratulatory gifts and came! ”

"If you want to die quickly, you just have to break into Jinan Mansion and say this joy to the young marshal!"

Wu Fengxian threw such a hard sentence to Zhang Linghu in shock, and Zhang Linghu was dizzy. Could it be that this Young Master Li is a master who does not eat fireworks in the world? However, looking at his usual actions, it doesn't look like Hai Rui's style of Bao Longtu! How can giving gifts and congratulating today become a place to feel uncomfortable for yourself?

"I would like to listen to Brother Wu's teaching!" With a hint of luck, Zhang Linghu tried to extract more information from Wu Fengxian's mouth, so as to analyze whether his words were true or false.

"I don't dare to teach. However, there are some things you are right, neither of you nor I is a descendant of the eldest young marshal, so we should naturally help each other. Wu Fengxian's square face was full of sincerity.

He pointed to the official road to the east, "Do you see the big road to Zouping and Zhangqiu?" Just now, the chariot battle in the mansion of the great young marshal and hundreds of Dongfan soldiers had just passed. I was seen by my sentry and saw that it meant something urgent. Later, there was news in the city, but it was Mrs. Lu Mahong who took the eldest young master to Denglai, preparing to go to sea from Denglai and go south to Guangzhou to meet the old master. Moreover, there was news last night that the eldest young marshal ordered Liang Kuan to kneel in the courtyard for an hour in the mansion! If you put these things together and think about it, you can see why I said that if you want to die quickly. You know why I said that! ”

Zhang Linghu's beautiful face is much stronger than his brain. It is said that Wu Fengxian's words are simple and clear enough, but he still seems to understand. However, he is also a little good, since he doesn't understand, then humbly ask for someone who understands.

"The younger brother is stupid, and I hope that the eldest brother will guide me."

Wu Feng looked around first. Zhang Linghu immediately signaled his soldiers to go farther away and leave the tea shed for the two of them.

"Have you also heard that our eldest young marshal was made an official by Emperor Chongzhen, what is the Marquis of Linqing, the commander-in-chief of all the military horses in Jiangbei?"

"That's right! It is precisely because of this incident that the younger brother rushed to congratulate him, if he hadn't met the eldest brother here, he was afraid that he would have stepped into the pit. ”

"You are such a smart person, don't you see that this is Emperor Chongzhen's trick? Just like Cao Cao Feng Zhou Yu did Nanjun Taishou? ”

Wu Fengxian said that this passage is from the fifty-sixth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "Cao Cao's Great Banquet, Tongquetai, Kong Ming, Sanqi, Zhou Gongjin". After the Tongquetai feast, Cao Cao originally planned to write a poem about Tongquetai by taking advantage of the wine, "Suddenly:" Dongwu made Hua Xin play Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou, Sun Quan married Liu Bei with his sister, and most of the nine counties in the Han Dynasty were prepared. When he heard this, his hands and feet were flustered, and he threw his pen on the ground. Cheng Yu said: "The prime minister is among the ten thousand armies, and the arrows and stones are attacking. Untempted; Now I heard that Liu Bei won Jingzhou, why was he so surprised? Cao said: "Liu Bei." The dragon among people has never tasted water in his life. Today's Jingzhou is a trapped dragon into the sea. Lonely and unmoved? Cheng Yu said: "Does the prime minister know Hua Xin's intentions?" Cao said: "Unknown." Yu said: "Sun Quan was jealous of Liu Bei and wanted to attack him with troops; But he was afraid that the prime minister would take advantage of the situation, so he ordered Hua Xin to be the envoy and recommended Liu Bei. It is a heart of security. The ears of the Prime Minister of Essai. Cao nodded and said, "Yes." Yu said: "There is a certain plan to make Sun and Liu annex each other, and the prime minister will multiply the plan between them, and the two enemies will be destroyed with one drum." Cao Daxi asked him what he wanted. Cheng Yu said: "The one who Dongwu relies on." Zhou Yu also. Prime Minister Zhou Yu is the Taishou of Nanjun, Cheng Pu is the Taishou of Jiangxia, and Huaxin is reused in the court; Yu will be enemies with Liu Bei. Isn't it good for me to take advantage of it? Cao said: "Zhongde's words are in line with loneliness. He summoned Hua Xin to power and rewarded him heavily. The feast was dispersed on the same day, and Cao immediately led Wenwu back to Xuchang, and Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of Nanjun Taishou, and Cheng Pu was the Jiangxia Taishou. ”

In this regard, Zhuge Liang, who is wise and close to demons, said in a word: "Yesterday, Sun Quan's lord was the pastor of Jingzhou, and this is a plan to fear Cao Cao." Cao Feng Zhou Yu is the Taishou of Nanjun, and this wants to make my two families annex each other, and he is better than taking things in the middle. Now Lu Su is here, and it is Zhou Yu who is too shou to come to Jingzhou. ”

Zhang Linghu is also a person who often haunts the three tiles and two houses, how can he not be familiar with this Romance of the Three Kingdoms? It's just that he has never linked the storyteller's methods with the emperor's mental tricks.

"What do you mean?"

"Who did your emperor give the title of official and knight, the old lord is naturally not good at saying anything, but he made our eldest and young marshal a marquis, and added what kind of military and horse errands of the governor Jiangbei, how can you tell Lao Tzu about this matter? I don't say or mention it, what's even worse is that there is still the word "Prince of Liang Guogong" in the sealed holy decree, doesn't this make it clear that the father and son are separated! ”

What's more, Li Shouhan has not expressed any intention of establishing a prince for many years, whether it is a successor or a virtuous, he is not transparent at all. In this way, except for Li Huayu, most of his younger brothers who have become adults and are on errands are all working hard there. For anything, even a fool can see it. Now, Emperor Chongzhen gave Li Huayu such a great "grace", but Li Huayu suddenly became a target in the eyes of his younger brothers, "Oh, Emperor Chongzhen announced that you are the heir of our father, are you really the heir?" It's not certain how long his country can sit! ”

When Li Huayu was in a dilemma with this coal-like holy decree in his hand, Liang Kuan, who had followed him as a battalion officer of the guards battalion since his time in Taiwan, was enthusiastic for a while, so he rushed to congratulate him, but he happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. After being angrily reprimanded by Li Huayu, he ordered him to kneel in the courtyard for half a day, so that he could think about his mistakes! If it weren't for the people in the house interceding for Liang Kuan, I am afraid that Liang Kuan would not only have to kneel for an hour!

"Xianggong, what is the emperor doing this for?" Lu Mahong hugged Li Huayu's son, ordered someone to help Liang Kuan down to rest, and whispered to her husband to explore the current situation. She is a good hunter, she goes into battle to kill the enemy, kills the flag and captures the flag is not inferior to others, and the Han people also read well. But the ghost tricks in this power plot field are not what she is good at.

"My father led the main force of the Southern Guangdong Army to camp step by step in the south of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't take care of the affairs of the north of the river for a while. In order to ask my Shandong military horses to contribute to him, the emperor made this decision. It seemed to inspire me to do my best to kill the enemy, but unexpectedly I became the target of suspicion in the hearts of my father and younger brothers. ”

"Do you remember Liao Dongzhi going and coming back? If it weren't for someone saying something in front of his father, I'm afraid that Lao Liao would not be transferred back. At the same time, I also transferred tens of thousands of horses that I had expanded in Shandong for training. If it weren't for the military urgency in Shandong. The father is afraid that he will not release Liao Dongzhi back to command the various military horses in Shandong. ”

Li Huayu opened his heart in the face of his wife Lu Mahong, and said the words that had been pressed on his heart like a big stone for a long time.

"Now that Chongzhen Lao'er is here again, if it is just to give me an official and a knight, my father will not say anything. However, this guy is so good that he can't die, and what is the prince of Liang Guogong! These five words are killing me! ”

"Xianggong, I think that you have done some things that are really inappropriate and go against your father's mind." Luma Hongming's nurse maid and others took their son outside to play, and the husband and wife talked secretly behind closed doors.

"Ma'am. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. ”

"Don't say it's me, even the Wang Lung who just threw himself into Shandong can see what you did wrong!" The number of Luma red is falling on her husband.

A few days ago, when Wang Lung was discussing with Li Huayu, he talked about the construction of political power in various places, and Wang Lung quarreled with Li Huayu and Li Dagongzi.

The contradiction between the two people is that the political power of Li Dagongzi went to the countryside to select local village sages. In this regard, Wang Lung vehemently opposed. It is required to follow the practice of the Qin Law School to select the children of small landlords above the middle peasant level from low backgrounds. After training in the Qin Law School or the village official training class, they will serve in other places, because these people have decided from their origins that they are the ones who are the most supportive of the New Deal.

Moreover, this is also in line with a set of methods that have been effective for many years in the Southern Guangdong Army. However, he was rejected by Li Huayu disappreciatively, and Wang Lung was so angry that he also threw his sleeves and left. The two broke up unhappily.

If it weren't for Lu Mahong mentioning this matter today, Li Huayu would have really thrown this fierce quarrel with Wang Lung outside the Jiuxiao Domain. "You forgot, General Wang hasn't forgotten. No, people wrote a letter and asked to go to Nanzhong to study. The entourage should be accompanied by dozens of backbone personnel at all levels. Do you sign or not? Lu Ma Hong snatched a few words from her husband.

"If he wants to go, he will let him go. Hengzhu's father also planned to meet him. I will do my job in Shandong, and my father will naturally know me in the future. ”

"Don't say anything about the future, let's talk about the present! How are you going to clear yourself from your father? ”

"This ,......" Li Huayu, who was born as a young master, was speechless for a while. He really didn't think about how to deal with this thorny and complex issue.

"So be it! You signed Wang Lung's letter and agreed that he would go to Nanzhong to study. At the same time, he gave his father an excerpt to explain the matter. In the excerpt, you want to explain that you intend to do a good job in building grassroots political power in Shandong, and you have specially selected these people as the first batch. My father attaches the most importance to the affairs of grassroots power, and when you say this, you will surely understand that your thoughts are the same as his. Then, I took my son back to Guangzhou to see my father, and I heard that my father had added a few more children, and I, as a sister-in-law, went to meet my younger brothers and sisters. By the way, he also let his father meet his eldest grandson. ”

This is simple and nice to say, but it is actually a sign of taking his wife and son hostage. What's even worse is that this hostage still has to be sent to the door by himself. This immediately made Li Huayu jump up and express his objection.

"It's absolutely not going to work. I do a good job in Shandong, which is enough to let my father release all the suspicions in my heart! ”

"My eldest young master, what are you going to do?" Luma Hong looked at her husband with big beautiful eyes.

"I'm in Shandong, and I can make three merits to my father!"

"Which three skills? I want to hear about it! ”

"The three merits are Ping Liaodong, Lianda Shun, and Dingjiangnan!"

Li Huayu threw out the strategic idea that he had been thinking about in his heart for many days at his wife with great ambition.

"With the Shandong Army as the main force and the Imperial Court Army as the auxiliary, the Lu Division sent troops from Shanhaiguan to join forces with our nephew in Ningyuan to capture Jinzhou together. The sailors went to sea from Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, attacked Shishikou, Jinzhou and other places, and attacked Jiannu on both sides. With this move, Liaodong is bound to be flattened! ”

"So, what about the United Dashun? Ignoring your father's strict orders, you sold Li Zicheng's cannons to Li Zicheng before, is this for this? ”

"Yes, that's exactly for that! The United Nations General Assembly Shun and Dingjiangnan are two sides of the same coin! If the Dashun army does not enter Beijing, the father will not be able to justifiably govern Jiangnan. The Dashun army has entered the Beijing Division, and whether Chongzhen Lao'er's wheezing life can be saved is one thing! At that time, this world will be contested by our Nanyue Army and Dashun Army. ”

Li Huayu's plan, in addition to exterminating the Liao thieves in Liaodong, was to use the Jingshi as a bait and an abandoned son to lure Li Zicheng's Dashun army to attack with all its might. The current world of Liao thieves, the Nanyue Army, and the Dashun Army are balanced into the Nanyue Army and the Dashun Army in the north and south. (To be continued.) )
