Volume II: Turbulent Waves Chapter 52: World War II
Youzhou Mansion, March, the last heavy snow fell.
The big families often plant flowers for the elegance, so at this time, the scribes have to step on the snow to find plums, cook wine and chant poems to show the romance. Only passing through the most prosperous streets, the blooming plum blossoms, once approached, the fragrance is abundant, and it is even more refreshing.
The sound of the horn blows through the little plum blossoms, and the conquest returns home at night,
Later generations "Book of Sui" once recorded the tragic situation at that time, cloud: "Youzhou a mansion, everyone wears filial piety, thinking that they mourn, the sergeant is sad, the corporal howls, and the pawn is waiting for his family to return." ”
The battle of Goryeo ended, and the Great Sui lost its soldiers, and there were countless battles in this battle.
In Jizhou City, there are endless streams of chariots, horses, ghosts, and servants, shuttling back and forth.
Not to mention, on the main hall of the Youzhou Palace, the accompanying courtiers were all trembling.
Yang Guanggao, the Son of Heaven, sat on the nine-fold dragon bank, looking down at the many ministers below, his eyes were cold, and his sacred heart was unpredictable.
The great cause of the grand dream of Liaodong must be crusaded against Goryeo again, and a new edict has been issued to the local state capitals.
Qianyuan Palace, in this palace three halls and one lake, the momentum is the most prosperous, the magnificence of its scenery is one, and the second is that the palace is located in the north of the palace.
The position of the Arctic crape myrtle should be the stars and the heavens.
There are clear rewards and punishments, which is the means of the superior to control the subordinates.
The first to be rewarded was Luo Yi, who had made meritorious contributions to breaking the enemy, and was promoted from the general soldier of Yanshan Wei to the chief of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and jumped four levels in a row to become a third-grade general.
The second is Wei Wensheng, who gave him more farmhouses, beauties, titles and county dukes, and 200 households.
The last one to be enshrined was Yin Hongzhi, who gave a thousand cattle to prepare, and added Yunhui to be a lieutenant, with a bright future.
Qianniu preparation is a training position that has been passed down among the disciples of the gate valve since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.
A reward is a punishment, a heavy punishment.
Under the edict, Yuwen valve bore the brunt of the attack.
"Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister is guilty, ask for a death." Yu Wenshu grew old almost all at once.
"Yuwen Shu did not continue with the soldiers' rations and lost the king's division; Although there are military officials who have lost their money and are not guilty of war, they cannot escape the responsibility for the crime of using soldiers, so it is appropriate to dismiss them from their official positions, demote them to commoners, and go to prison for trial ....... ”
It is to lift it up high and to put it down gently. Just because, Yuwenshu and the Son of Heaven have a deep old relationship. And because Yuwenshu's second son, Yuwenshi, married the daughter of the Son of Heaven, Princess Nanyang, there is such a light move.
Yang Guang, the son of heaven, thought that he was doing everything in his benevolence and righteousness.
It's a pity that Yu Wenhua didn't accept this feeling, but instead increased the means of attracting talents.
For Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, he was annoyed that he was not able to transport grain, and his wording was much harsher and murderous.
Fortunately, Li Yuan had already prepared with both hands, and secretly raised a large amount of grain and grass, and pleaded guiltily: "Your Majesty is angry, minister, Li Yuan has prepared corn that can be eaten by millions of people for Your Majesty to conquer Liaodong again." ”
Of course, this is not without a price. Li Yuan married his daughter Li Sanniang to Chai Shao, the son of the Chai family, the richest businessman in the world.
Only then did Yang Guang, the son of heaven, turn his anger into joy and promised: "Qing's public heart is what I know." Li Yuan was temporarily removed from his official position and allowed to make meritorious service for his crimes.
Later, he scolded the generals who had fled for not fighting effectively, more or less, and each had its own punishment.
In the western suburbs of Jicheng, at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, there is a prosperous manor, covering a vast area, integrating the north and south scenery into one, in this place, it is really rare.
And this garden is just an annex to a mansion in Lufu. Outside the well-known Jizhou City, it is really a symbol of identity and financial resources.
If you stand on the high-rise of the tallest building in this compound, Juxian Building, and look into the distance, you can see the scenery of half of the city.
Standing in front of the building and looking at the Yuquan River view, the beauty is in full view.
Lu Chengqing, the owner of Lu Mansion, has outstanding literary talents, recruits guests from all over the world, and even held a literary meeting today to entertain heroes from all over the world.
At this time, there are more than a dozen jade tables placed in the high-rise building, there are a few small dishes, a few wines, three or five nobles sit opposite each other, chatting about state affairs, and looking at the scenery.
The building is divided into nine layers, the windows are set very large, looking from the inside to the outside, the scenery is bright, it is a rare place where humanities gather.
The bells and drums are melodious, the dancing girls are soft, and the guests are like clouds.
Gao Si also sat by the window.
He came to Lu's house to retrieve the recast sword, the two handles are one, the dragon pattern and phoenix medal, and the sword body is inlaid with seven stars, which is still a rare blade.
Yu Shinan's calligraphy is famous all over the world, and his own talent is a famous person at home. He previously helped Gao Si find a famous craftsman of the Lu family to cast a sword, and he was introduced by Lu Chengqing as a confidant.
coincided with the meeting, and Gao Si was also invited as a guest.
Li Baiyao and Yu Shinan were like fish in water on such occasions, and they talked happily with people from all walks of life.
"Tang Guogong has arrived!"
The scene was quiet, Li Yuan was only in his early forties, but because of his unusual face, his forehead was full of wrinkles, he looked like a sixty or seventy-year-old grandmother, and he smiled amiably.
Therefore, Yang Guang, the son of heaven, once laughed and said that he asked Grandma Li, but ordinary people are not qualified to call it.
Beside him was a white-faced man with a long beard and a red-makeup cardamom girl, all of whom were carefully dressed, and any ornament on their bodies was enough for the ordinary people to spend for two or three years.
Li Yuan talked and laughed, and after being introduced, everyone knew that the two people who followed him were his newly found son-in-law Chai Shao and daughter Li Sanniang.
Dragons do not live with snakes, and phoenixes do not live with birds.
Under the sympathy of qi and machine, Li Yuan led the crowd over and said with a smile: "Who is this little friend, why is he sitting here." ”
When Gao Si heard Li Yuan's name, he was facing each other in large numbers, but he didn't expect to face each other so quickly.
Before he could reply, the white-faced Chai Shao on the opposite side said with a chuckle: "The people I see here are all from Zhong Mingding's food house, and I see that your outfit is just an old man in the army, so I can get out of the way." Is this a place where a demented man can sit? ”
There is no cold family in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade, and the concept of respect and inferiority for hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The Chai Shao family has been hairpins for generations, and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, is also the valve of Guanlongmen, and the forced questions from his mouth are more contemptible.
"Oh, why do you ask me?" Gao Si sat still, ignoring Chai Shao, facing Tang Guogong Li Yuan, and said coldly: "Tang Guogong also sees it this way?"
Li Yuan pressed his hand on the corner of the table and said to everyone solemnly: "Today's meeting of the gentlemen, the old man Meng Lu family was warmly invited to attend the banquet of Juxian Building, and to select materials for the country, only to do his best.
At present, Goryeo is constantly disturbing the border, and it is a fierce enemy. Our generation discussed the strategy of conquering Liao, you are just a lowly person, how can you talk about big things, retreat! Between the scolding, everyone applauded.
The two males do not coexist, and Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, first saw Gao Si for no reason, and he instinctively suppressed it.
Gao Si felt a greater impact than others, and Li Tang Tude's true dragon qi pounced with his teeth and claws, instinctively trying to subdue and devour his qi.
If it was before the Battle of Liaoshui, he might have been in danger.
But after comprehending the heart of a strong man, Gao Si no longer had any fear, and chanted according to his sword: "Raise troops to Liaoshui at night to serve the national security for the expedition to Goryeo." Hanging the scepter on the Tomorrow Sunday, the end will be the night release of the wine glass. The murderous spirit is still strong in spring, and the demon atmosphere is cold. Talk and laugh and dare to talk about the odds, and in the future, you will be in the saddle. ”
There are many talented people in the gate, if there are ten talents in the world, six of the five valves and seven hopes, two of them are accounted for by the scholars, and only two points are accounted for by the talented people of the poor family, so they are not valued.
It's a pity that Gao Si does not belong to the traditional humble scholars, not only is he fearless, but he is extremely bold.
With poems and praises, this counterattack, Li Yuan, who is the Duke of Tang Guo, also understands the meaning.
"Alas, I was pecked out of the goose all my life, which is indeed careless. However, the children of ordinary families have no such skills. Let it go today, and check it out tomorrow before you do it. Li Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't refute it.
He felt a pang in his heart, knowing that he was a little too big. However, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, in this banquet, it is a friend of interest, as a witness and commentator, how can he be too weak?
Then he pointed his finger and said, "Clever words, but in fact, they may not be capable." ”
Everyone else gathered here for a while, watching the situation unfold. Because the window was open, there was still a faint sound of war drums outside, which was Yuwen Shu's shame and bravery, and then he personally trained the soldiers.
Gao Si listened attentively, and after a while, he immediately drew his sword and said, "My ability is not in my tongue." But with the sword in his hand, he commanded thousands of troops! ”
Hearing this, everyone also looked at Gao Si, only to see this young man, whose face was slightly pale, but there was a kind of stubborn and unyielding atmosphere.
Upstairs, there are young people in Lihuafu, or handsome scribes, all of whom have extraordinary backgrounds, and they can all see that this is Tang Guogong and the unknown young man fighting. In the eyes of the people of the big family, the poems are just gorgeous appearances, and there is no evidence.
The gate valve family attaches great importance to profit, and the truth of this righteousness and profit, how can it be judged by a few articles?
At this time, the relationship between the gate and the valve is more important than the warrior, and when the troubled times come, a little money and food can attract countless people, which is enough to solve the problem and suppress all the displaced people who are in trouble.
With a sneer, Chai Shao has always looked down on the reckless man, and he disagreed with Gao Si's words.
His heart suddenly moved, Chai Shao couldn't wait to stand up for his father-in-law, and said: "Boy, some time ago, the army of the great general Mai Tiezhu was defeated first, Xu Guogongyu Wenshu was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops were still defeated. You don't know the art of war, and you are still ashamed to say that you want to conquer Goryeo? I think that at this time, it is better for you to go home and hide, so as not to lose your life, hahaha. ”
Poof-A flash of cold light, Gao Si swung his sword to cut off a corner of Zhuo's case, and coldly swept over everyone: "Although I, Gao Chongde, was defeated in Liaodong, I have never surrendered. I thought that on this battlefield, as long as I lived, I would have a chance to make a comeback. The Tao is not the same, get out of the way! Get up and go.
"It's a cripple, hahaha-" everyone scoffed.
"Judging people by their appearance is not enough to be a friend!" Seeing this, Li Baiyao left the table angrily and chased out.
Yu Shiji's face changed a few times.
"The general Mai Tiecane is a loyal minister, but unfortunately died in battle, and when the three sons of the Mai family returned to their hometown, they once again asked Yu to take care of Gao Chongde. What's more, Gao Chongde is still the heir of the late Yue King Yang (Su), although he is unknown at this time, he will definitely become famous when the time comes.
This Ya will select talents, and everyone has already known it. Just for a seat to set off a dispute between the door valve and the poor door, is this the right way? Brother Lu, please forgive me for the crime of losing company......" Yu Shinan pointed out the situation behind Juxian Building now.
Lu Chengqing shook his head, not agreeing with Yu Shinan's comments.
"Of course, this person has some ability, but he is unruly, and it is really inappropriate to stay here."
Chai Shao said directly: "That's it, this high virtue is here to make trouble." ”
"Alas, this matter has made Brother Yu embarrassed, and he will come to the door to apologize another day." In fact, Lu Chengqing is just doing superficial work.
Yu Shinan brushed his sleeves away.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and he soon became a broad-minded Tang Guogong again.
The silk and bamboo orchestra opened again, and Juxian Building was lively again.
In Bianzhou City (now Kaifeng), Yang Xuangan received the conscription edict and Cui Liang's official document from the Youzhou Palace, and his mind turned, and he immediately invited Li Mi to discuss.
"What does Ming Gong want?"
"The time has come! Dharma Master, on the grounds of lack of manpower to transport grain, you went to Youzhou and asked Chongde and Jishan (Yang Jishan) and others to come back. ”
"I see."
Yang Xuangan and Li Mi shook hands together, and they were about to set off a monstrous wave.
