In the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Fuyang County, Hangzhou, Jiangnan Province (Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province), ten miles on the south bank of the Fuchun River, only more than ten miles away from Yiwu County, Wuzhou. It is expected that at dusk, you will be able to arrive in Wuzhou City, hurry up all the way, and finally have a reunion dinner.

The original plan was to go to the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, but it was still delayed by the Dengzhou Incident, and the trip was slowed down. Qian Shun is a lady in the middle of the rice and has become a glorious pick-up man, and it is difficult for outsiders to say anything. Boss Mi was very satisfied, and prepared a rich dowry, and there were two cars for copper coins alone, sending the girl away thousands of miles away.

This was a great delay, and Wu Kang proposed to go separately and take five people first. Qian Shun resolutely objected, and for safety reasons, asked for at least 20 people. In the end, it didn't work, and the convoy had a rich dowry, which would attract the attention of thieves.

Since Xiucai's death, Chu Shenke has stayed in Beijing, and his henchmen are only Qian Shun, and he doesn't want him to have an accident. Fortunately, there was no delay, Wu Kang was in a good mood, bored, and remembered the filthy relationship with King Deng and Lu Zhaolin. That day, in the rice house, Li Yuanyu blew his beard and glared, and Lu Zhaolin left with a black face.

Wu Kang didn't care, King Deng was not afraid, Lu Zhaolin took it for his own use, and the plans were all arranged. Let Luo Bingwang write poems and scold, spray him with blood, and make him interested in Wuzhou. In May next year, after Wuzhou was upgraded, he was recommended to join the army as a household.

Before escorting Tian Fu away, he had a meeting with Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, and learned that the population of Wuzhou had exceeded 20,000 households. In line with the upgrade criteria, the official document has been issued, and it will be determined by June at the latest. At that time, the assassin Shi was promoted from the third rank, the record joined the army and the sixth Cao joined the army, and all the officers were promoted to two levels.

The legal office and the household government in Shangzhou have two supervisors to participate in the military. The extra judiciary joined the army and recommended King Luo Bin, who was jealous and hateful, and it was appropriate to enforce the law; The extra Sihu joined the army, recommended Lu Zhaolin, and asked Zhang Cambodia to cure his scumbag disease.

Looking ahead, I saw the boundary monument a mile away, and warm joy arose. After that boundary monument, he entered the territory of Wuzhou and entered his own territory. In the gray village in the distance, a horse rushed out and galloped quickly in this direction.

It should be Erxian, let him enter the city in advance and inform the convoy of the itinerary. Presumably Xiaoqing is very happy, the concubines must be busy, preparing a sumptuous dinner to catch up with the wind and wash the dust for themselves. I really want to have wings, fly to the baby, and accompany them for the New Year.

Qian Shun moved out of the way, and Erxian stepped forward immediately, reporting as he walked: "Back to the big guy, my subordinates are at the North City Gate, and I saw Mrs. and the county gentleman." Di Renjie and his wife were also there, and Lao Di quietly told me that from the day of Laba, Mrs. held the county monarch every day, and the north city gate was looking forward to it, waiting for you to go home for the New Year. ”

This pierces the heart, and the heart is blocked for a while, full of guilt. The big guy's face was not good, and Qian Shun was cautious: "Why don't you speed up, Xue Niang's body is tough, and the official road in Wuzhou is very flat." I said Erxianzi, why don't you persuade Madame, how cold is the city gate tower. ”

Erxian has a bitter face, Di Renjie can't persuade him, why should I? You're a shriveled calf, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. glared at him fiercely, and replied: "If the big guy is like this, you take someone to leave first, and I will stay with Shunzi." In front of us is the boundary monument, our territory, there will be no danger. ”

Wu Kang pondered for a moment, stopped next to the boundary monument, and shook his head slightly: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, only by entering Wuzhou City is absolutely safe." Erxian went first with me, Qian Shun led the convoy, always vigilant, there were several bandits in Yiwu. ”

The big guy spoke resolutely, the two stopped talking, and Qian Shun conveyed instructions. Wu Kang returned to his heart like an arrow, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Feeling that the horse's hooves were in a hurry, he didn't wait to look back, and the red shadow swept around him, bringing up a cold wind.

It turned out to be a court postman, with three red flags behind his back, and Wu Kang's brows furrowed. This is an eight-hundred-mile expedited to the direction of Wuzhou, what happened. With a sense of foreboding, he looked at Qian Shun and Erxian and signaled the horse team to stop.

Hearing the sound of a hurried "call", the horse's speed plummeted and stopped two hundred meters away. Seeing the postman turn his horse's head and whip this way, the foreboding was even worse. Wu Kang subconsciously prayed, don't look for me, otherwise I'll kill you.

In less than half a minute, the stagecoach stopped in front of the stagecoach, about two feet away from the team. The post guard looked at Wu Kang, the atmosphere began to be tense, the surroundings were silent, and after a while, the post guard hugged his fists: "I am Chang'an Chunming Station, dare to ask Lang Jun on the other side, but the history of Wuzhou martial arts?" ”

My heart is cold, it won't be Chu Suiliang and them, insist on letting me go to Shanzhou... It shouldn't be, Li Jiu vetoed it, laughed dryly, and showed his identity to the post guard. Without saying a word, the postman jumped off the horse and unwrapped the package behind him, revealing the earthy yellow scroll.

The good fellow is a holy decree, and he did not dare to slack off at once, and ordered the brethren to dismount. Qian Shun ran to the carriage, helped Xue Niang get out of the car, and returned to the big guy. The post guard held high the holy decree, full of anger: "General Long Wuwei of the inspection school, the governor of Yuezhou, the assassin of Wuzhou Wukang, kneel to receive the holy decree." ”

Everyone knelt down respectfully, Wu Kang secretly gritted his teeth, and his heart was up and down. The holy decree that needs to kneel down is a great thing, and it requires my own life. clasped his hands into fists and shouted loudly: "Wuzhou stabbing Shi Wukang, respectfully invite St. An." ”

"Saint, bow to An!"

Under the door: On November 20 of the 5th year of Yonghui, Goguryeo, Baekje and Jeon, despite several warnings from our dynasty, gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses and brazenly invaded the kingdom of Silla. On the fifth day of the twelfth month, the Silla envoys entered Chang'an and prayed for our rescue. As the suzerain of Silla, how can I sit idly by and ignore the disaster of the destruction of the country in my subject country?

Author: Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, and Su Dingfang, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, each led the troops and horses of the headquarters, and immediately sent troops to Goguryeo. Wuzhou Thorn Shi Wukang, wound suture, alcohol suppuration, pulley lifting, I am very relieved. Immediately, he went to Yingzhou for the governor of Yingzhou to send and attack Goguryeo with the army.

Zhongshu Ling, Chen Liu Zheng, Xuan; Zhongshu Shilang, ministers come to Ji, Feng; Zhongshu Sheren, Minister Li Yifu, line; In the waiting, the minister Cui Dunli; Huangmen Shilang, Chen Han Ying; In the matter, the minister Xu Jingzong and others said. The edict is like the right, please be respectful, Yonghui five years December 19...

Wu Kang was struck by lightning, I went to your uncle's, why are you so cheating? Nai Weng doesn't want to go to Yingzhou, Nai Weng wants to go home to accompany his daughter-in-law, and wants to go home to hug his daughter... Don't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, forced a pleasant face, straightened his waist, and stretched out his hands: General Long Wuwei of the inspection school, the governor of Yuezhou, and Shi Wukang, the assassin of Wuzhou, take the order!

Mu Ran pestle on the ground, staring at the stool-colored holy decree, unable to return to his senses for a long time. If you want to scold people, you don't know who to scold, and if you want to cry, you can't squeeze out tears, is this the price of being an official? My wife was looking forward to it, but I turned around and left to work as a logistics officer in Yingzhou.

This is also too pitiful, from Jinhua in Zhejiang, to Liaoyang in Liaoning, and then to the Korean Peninsula. Vaguely listening to Qian Shun's words, he looked up blankly, and sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry Junzi, I can't attend your wedding, congratulations in advance." Erxian went to inform Lin Pinglang, gathered all the brothers, and hurried here. ”

Qian Shun glanced at Xue Niang, licked his face and gaged: "I'll go with you, Xue Niang got on the thief ship, and she can only follow me." When the war is over, let's return to Wuzhou and hold another wedding. When the time comes, I will have you to marry us and block the wine for me. ”

Wu Kang smiled bitterly, turned around and instructed Er Xian: "Go and inform Lao Lin, let Jiang Daniu and Xu Sanjiao come and pick up Mi Niangzi." Inform Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia that during my absence in Wuzhou, they will act as agents for the right to assassinate history. ”

Seeing that the big guy wanted to speak and stopped, Erxian was cautious: "Please show the big guy, how to tell the lady, tell the truth?" It will take time for the brothers to assemble, so you might as well take this opportunity to explain to your wife in person. ”

There is no explanation, it only adds to the sadness, sighs lightly and helplessly: "The holy decree orders to return to the north immediately, if you go south half a step, it is disrespectful to resist the decree." Inform Di Renjie and his wife, and let Di Sister-in-law find an opportunity to inform Mrs. Dongyang. ”

Staring at the boundary monument, he pondered for a moment and ordered: "The imperial court should introduce Zhancheng rice seeds, and it should be in the territory of Kuzhou, and it will arrive in Wuzhou in a few days." Tell Di Renjie to do his best to convince the people to plant. If necessary, rice seeds are provided free of charge, and the rice seed fee is collected after a bumper harvest in May. ”

After speaking, he frowned, and emphasized again: "Inform Changshi Changsun Quan, as well as all the other officials, to fully cooperate with Di Renjie." The trial planting of Zhancheng rice is related to the livelihood of the entire Datang Dynasty, and there is no room for a difference. Inform Yu Hongzhi that he can act cheaply and obey Di Renjie's dispatch. "Okay

Erxian nodded heavily, and Qian Shun suddenly spoke: "The imperial court is in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and you must get to Yingzhou as soon as possible, and it is best to take a post post horse." If there are many people who go, we can only take our horses, even if it is day and night, at least two months. ”

Wu Kang was dumbfounded, the joke was too big, and the plan had to be overturned. Even the largest post station has only ten stagecoaches, and the security guards are at least three hundred. After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled helplessly: "Erxian, you go, only inform Lin Pinglang." During my absence, you will take care of all matters of Shengshi Security. ”

Erxian promised to leave, Wu Kang sighed, just take Qian Shun and Helang. There is a brigade of security guards, so there is no need to worry at home; With Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, there is no need to worry about political affairs, after all, the two future prime ministers, there is no problem in doing a good job of Zhancheng rice.

I really don't understand why the imperial court is wading into troubled waters, the three idiots on the Korean Peninsula are all authentic white-eyed wolves. If you have difficulty asking for help, if you don't have difficulty, you will fight, and let them dog-eat-dog. With a long sigh of helplessness, he instructed the security guard Captain Xu: "Take everyone away and ride back." ”

Qian Shun stepped forward and continued to suggest: "Let Dou Cheng follow, he and you have the same heart, and he is a thousand miles, so he should be able to carry it." If you really can't do it, don't ride it, run away empty-backed. If the big guy didn't tell me, I would go and explain to Xue Niang and prepare more entanglements. ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, Qian Shun helped Xue Niang leave, and the two chatted for a while. Xue Niang instructed the maid to prepare copper coins as much as possible and stuff them into the horse's back bag. Sending the security team away, the two squatted on the side of the road and began to wait boredly.

Carefully recalling the history books, this seems to be the first crusade against Goguryeo since Li Jiu ascended the throne. No wonder he was so cautious and let the assassin of Zheng Sipin go to be a little logistics officer. It's right to think about it carefully, it is of great significance, and Li Jiu wants to win. The strategic purpose of this time was to force Goguryeo to withdraw its troops, and the strategy was to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

The so-called Three Kingdoms Alliance, Goguryeo is the backbone, and the other two play soy sauce. As long as the Tang army won a few battles, broke through a few cities, and put on a posture of overwhelming the territory, it could force Goguryeo to return to the division. If the strategy succeeds, Silla will turn the corner.

My job is simple, train field medics, save a few more wounded soldiers, stay in the logistics and sleep. To put it bluntly, it's also soy sauce, which is very unpleasant. When will he become the commander of the march of Hebei Province, command thousands of troops and horses, and destroy the three countries of the peninsula?

After a long dry laugh, I'm afraid that as long as Li Tao is here, there will never be a chance. The old fox can't be offended, whether Mei Niang can ascend to the back seat is the key to him. He was able to contend with the eldest grandson Wuji, and according to historical records, he did vote in favor.

In fact, it is very understandable that he wants to kill the eldest grandson Wuji before he dies to keep his descendants safe. Fang Xuanling is a lesson from the past, and the descendants of the future generations will be in a pot, and the flow of killing will be killed. He also has a dirty relationship with Brother Wuji, knowing that after his death, Brother Wuji will attack his juniors. So he must be allowed to die himself in front.

Wu Kang rubbed his temples and continued to meditate, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. If the account is correct, the end of the war will be in May next year. It just so happened that "Abolish Wang Liwu" was opened, and if you are lucky, you will not miss the big show.

Qian Shun handed over dried dates, a specialty of Dengzhou, which was fragrant and sweet to eat. The two chatted while eating, and talked about the big guys they were about to meet, Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang. Give Qian Shun popular science, these two are generals, they have experienced a hundred battles, and they will study hard when the time comes.

Especially Su Dingfang, a well-deserved fierce general, has destroyed countless countries in his life. The more he talked, the more excited he became, his face began to flush, and he talked endlessly. Qian Shun was a little confused, the big guy was too good at fooling, and it was more than ten years later.

I don't know how long later, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the two got up to look, and Wu Kang almost jumped to his feet. In front is Lin Pinglang, with a bow and arrows on his back and a horizontal knife, fully armed and energetic. Who is the girl in the back, riding a red horse, holding a child in her arms, with a decrepit face.

Before the second horse approached, Qian Shun immediately saluted, see Mrs. Dongyang, see Jinhua County Jun. He took the county gentleman attentively, handed it to the big guy's arms, and glanced at Lin Pinglang. The two of them left far away, chatting with their backs to the big guy, and saying things that didn't hurt.

Wu Kang hugged the noisy sleeping one, grinning silently, and his facial features were hideous. Cui Xiaoqing's eyes were red, and she snorted coldly and complained: "The bastard who killed a thousand knives, wait for you for so long, and hug your daughter when you meet." Live with your daughter, and tomorrow I will go back to my parents' house and never come back. ”

This unlucky girl, the girl's vinegar is eaten, and she wants to ask for a hug. So he hugged his youngest daughter in one hand and his eldest daughter in the other, with a helpless face: "Big brother, I'm sorry, that unlucky Li Jiu sent an unlucky holy decree, and he had to turn around and go to Liaodong." I'm really sorry for the two of you who have been going for at least half a year..."

"I'm sorry for the fart, elm pimple, you", Xiaoqing pointed at Ailang's nose, hating iron and steel: "That's the Battle of Liaodong, what a good opportunity, what good news." In the past, I worked hard, made a few great contributions, and removed the 'inspection'. You may not know that the imperial court sent Yuezhou to assassinate the history, but he did not have the title of governor. ”

I can't cry or laugh in an instant, I'm on the battlefield, you should be reluctant, you should cry and cry, it's not this style of painting. Xiao Qingbai looked at him, and said in a weird manner: "If a man is ambitious in all directions, he should go to his career, and revolve around his wife every day, like a girl." ”

Oh, my mother, Wu Kangsheng has nothing to love, pouting and retorting: "I said Cui Xiaoqing, your brain is funny?" You should hold me and cry, tell me a thousand times, tell me to take care of myself, and then come back to see you alive. ”

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes again: "Pull it down, big brother, if you can't be promoted, I will hold you and cry." But seriously, as long as you don't charge, nothing else is fine. Establish a lot of meritorious deeds and strive to be the governor of Yuezhou, which is a positive third product. ”

This is too heart-wrenching, the daughter-in-law is an official fan, and Wu Kang is very helpless. The Yuezhou Governor's Mansion is the middle government, and it is indeed the third product, and the Yuezhou Assassin sent by the imperial court did not concurrently serve as the governor. But that doesn't mean that I will be the governor of the capital, and it doesn't mean anything.

The governor has military power and can mobilize the government soldiers of the states under his jurisdiction, but the governor of Yuezhou has no government soldiers at all. Originally, there were a few branches, but Chen Shuozhen made a fuss and all of them were withdrawn. Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly: "There are several states under the management of Yuezhou, and there is no one in the Zhichong Prefecture, so it makes no difference whether you go to the 'school inspection' or not." ”

Cui Xiaoqing didn't care, turned her head to look around, nodded at the northeast, and continued to be yin and yang: "You went to the capital for four months, and you and my little lover were you, but I was alone, which is very unfair." It's half a year to go to Liaodong, and people feel so hungry, you can do it. ”

Wu Kang turned his head to look, gritted his teeth with hatred, and looked at your virtue. There is a pear orchard in the northeast, under the bare pear trees, bare small shacks. It should be the owner of the pear orchard to prevent others from stealing pears and build a small nest. Very depressed and helpless, glared at her fiercely, and left with her daughter in her arms.

came to the side of the younger brother, let Qian Shun hug and make trouble, and ordered with a straight face: "My wife and I are heartfelt and comfort the pain of parting, don't disturb." Take good care of my daughter, if she cries, I will make you cry too. Also, don't look back, and don't let others disturb you. ”

After giving the order to turn around and leave, the two looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes were very strange. Whispering about the mountain, taking turns to hug the county gentleman, from seven o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon. The corners of Qian Shun's mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice and said: "Big guy and madam, the relationship is really good, it's been so long, and I'm still sorry for it..."

Lin Pinglang was disdainful: "What so much nonsense, you know what's going on, beware of the big guy cleaning you up." But the lady is really tough, and if she asks for her wife in the future, she will have to ask for this. I said Shunzi, this time I went to Yingzhou, is it really just a firehead? ”

Qian Shun was silent, and after a long time, he whispered: "The holy decree requires this, but I have a hunch that this attack on Goguryeo will definitely cause a big incident." Let's not think too much, protect the big guy, and let the big guy deal with the rest. ”

Ending the topic, he waited for a long time, until Shen Shi was two quarters, and footsteps came from behind him. The two turned around at the same time, and saw that the big guy's face was pale, and he walked a little floating. Looking at Madame again, the whole face is radiant and the spirit is quite good.

At this moment, a horse team appeared in the south, which was the security guard who responded. Wu Kang hugged Xiaoqing and got on the horse, and said goodbye again. A few minutes later, Xiaoqing took over her daughter and gently instructed: "Husband, don't worry about the family, take care of yourself, my daughter and I are waiting for you to come back." ”

Wu Kang almost cried, he waited for so long, and finally waited for someone to speak. Instructed Erxian to be careful, watched the horse team leave, stepped on the fighting horse, and headed straight to the north. Qian Shun and Lin Pinglang, riding horses followed, their expressions were very serious.

The three of them changed horses at the post station, rushed to the next post station, and slept at the post house at night. Wu Kang couldn't sleep, chatting with Dou Cheng, squatting next to the stable, looking at the sky in a daze. The cold wind blows, listening to the crows, and the gloom swells in the heart. There is a hunch that the trip to Yingzhou will not be calm...
