Chapter 155 The Wind and Thunder on the Flat Land Rise to Jingdong

Along the way, Yang Miaozhen thought a lot, and her soft intestines turned to a thousand thoughts, but when she saw Zhao Heju again, she couldn't help but turn into two lines of silver beads, and the horn and the horn fell down.

She is a rough and straight character, and for Zhao Youju's sake, she has been sharpened a lot over the years, but when she arrived in front of Zhao Youju, she recovered her true heart again.

When Zhao and Ju fulfilled their promise to find a way to survive for her and her brother's old department, she decided that this man was someone to rely on. In the past few years by Zhao Youju's side, although he has been faintly happy and angry most of the time, his attention has never been received by Yang Miaozhen before. The secret alliance of the night before parting concluded the fate of the two in this life, followed by a four-year separation, but this separation has never extinguished Yang Miaozhen's feelings for Zhao and Ju.

On the contrary, because of the lovesickness, the emotion is even deeper.

For example, it is a good wine that lasts for a long time.

Zhao and Ju were really half a head taller than her, and when the two met, he took a few steps forward, a light smile appeared on his face, and then stretched out a hand to Yang Miaozhen.

The noise has been left outside the palace, and in this splendid hall, only some palace maids are left. In fact, after Shi Miyuan's downfall, the palace maids in the palace were combed by Han Yu, and those she felt were not very reliable.

"Four ladies, this has always been ...... Luckily? Holding Yang Miaozhen's hand, the light smile on Zhao Youju's face gradually disappeared, and he choked up when he spoke.

If he doesn't miss Yang Miaozhen, it is also a lie.

Just when Zhao Youju and Yang Miaozhen held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, in the Ciming Palace, a group of young palace maids were concentrating on writing something on the paper.

They used a pencil, a specialty of Liuqiu, which is now very simple to make, using two small and half logs made by a woodworking lathe, drawing a groove in the middle, then filling the refill, and finally gluing the two small half-logs with fish fat glue. When used, you only need to sharpen the tip of the pen with a knife, this kind of hard pen is very easy to master by those who have not learned calligraphy for a long time, and you can also write small characters to save paper.

Mrs. Yang looked at these little palace maids with a smile behind her, and she was extremely satisfied between her eyebrows.

This official son, although he is not his own, treats her with great respect, and it is needless to say morning and dusk greetings, and from time to time he offers some things that women like. Like perfumes and soaps, the latest style of glass mirrors, and large animal puppets made of wool. Although they are all gadgets, they make people feel intimate, and the Yang clan is also highly valued by the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven did not give them real power, this is also the proper move of this dynasty to prevent foreign relatives, and it is no wonder that the official family is not to blame.

She glanced at Han Yu, who was serving beside her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

There is also the very favored Jieyu of the Son of Heaven, she is not from a high background, she is just a maid of the Son of Heaven when she was young, and her appearance is not top-notch in this palace, but she has a temperament that the palace maid does not have. Although he is very favored by the official family, he is never pampered and coquettish, and the etiquette in front of the Queen Mother is never lacking, thinking of ways to relieve his boredom for his own happiness, and managing things in the palace is also in order.

From Han Yu's body, she thought of the virtuous concubine who entered the palace today - she was accepted as a virtuous concubine before entering the palace, which is a very rare thing in the national dynasty, but the official family had already told the Empress Dowager Yang about it, and I heard that when the official family was selected as the heir of the Yifu, in order to prevent accidents, she was sent overseas, but she opened up a big foundation overseas. Empress Dowager Yang frowned slightly, the official family did this at the beginning, did they see that there would be abolition in the future, regardless of whether this woman could build her own business overseas, she must be a person with a strong desire for power, but she must be guarded against.

"Ayu." She snorted Han Yu.

"The concubine is here." Han Yuyuan was a little absent-minded, but when she heard this, she immediately stood up and said.

"Don't care, the official family of the Son of Heaven, the beauty of the harem is inevitable." Empress Dowager Yang grabbed her hand: "You have a gentle temperament, and you know how to advance and retreat, the mourning family will make it clear to the Son of Heaven, and you will also be promoted." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Han Yu was not hypocritical, she paused, and said with a smile: "What the concubine was thinking about just now is the temperament of a virtuous concubine. ”

"Oh?" Women's gossip psychology is nature, and Empress Dowager Yang is no exception, she looked at those little palace maids as if she pricked up her ears, smiled and took Han Yu to the side hall, and then asked, "You are very familiar with this virtuous concubine?" ”

"It's very familiar, and it's very good." Afraid that Empress Dowager Yang would misunderstand, Han Yu explained quietly: "She is an innocent character, she doesn't like restraint the most, and there are many rules in the palace, I'm afraid that she will feel constrained." She is a very good person, and although her speech is straight, her heart is very good. ”

"She's also surnamed Yang?" Empress Dowager Yang smiled slightly, noncommittal, but turned the question to Yang Miaozhen's surname.

"Yes." Empress Dowager Yang asked knowingly, Han Yu was a little puzzled, but she still answered as she said.

"If it is really as you said, he is a person with a real heart, then ...... in this harem" Empress Dowager Yang shook her head, feeling that it was too early to say this at this time, and she was about to divert the topic again, but a palace maid came in and said: "The Empress Dowager, the official family and the virtuous concubine came to greet the Empress Dowager." ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." Empress Dowager Yang smiled at Han Yu, and then said, "Please come, Ayu, you come over and pinch your neck for the mourning family, up and down the palace, you have the best skills." ”

Han Yu knew that she was making a name for herself, but Yang Miaozhen's heart might not be able to see this way. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, Empress Dowager Yang was kind, she naturally got the essentials, and in Han Yu's heart, she was somewhat jealous of Yang Miaozhen's identity as a "virtuous concubine".

She is just Jieyu, and when she sees Concubine Xian, she wants to salute.

After a while, Zhao and Ju walked in holding Yang Miaozhen's hand, and Empress Dowager Yang looked at Yang Miaozhen intently. I saw that this woman was tall and slender, and although she looked gorgeous, she was not as good as Han Yu. A pair of big, round eyes, slightly red, about the moment to cry, but the expression on his face was full of joy. Her eyes are extremely flexible, and she looks at people with a strange power, which adds a touch of sultry to her.

"Kitsune." Empress Dowager Yang shook her eyebrows lightly imperceptibly.

At the same time that Yang Miaozhen visited the Empress Dowager Yang, a large group of ships began to dock in Donghai County, Haizhou, Huainan East Road. This was originally Li Quan's territory, but now it belongs to Peng Yibin.

Peng Yibin, who was newly named the commander general of Jingdong, stood on the dock with a smile on his face, greeting the incoming boat.

He was nearly forty years old, stout and looked like an ordinary craftsman. The armor he wore was a half-length armor made by Liuqiu, but it was a little nondescript when worn on him. He had a thick beard and an honest gaze, and he danced with joy when he saw the man disembarking from the first ship.

"Brother Liu, it's really you!"

The one who got off the boat was Liu Quan, Yang Miaozhen's uncle. Over the years, he has been seeking to do things in a down-to-earth manner, although he is not as powerful as Fang Youcai, nor is he as strong as the righteous boy, but he has also accumulated prestige. He and Peng Yibin are acquaintances, and they often met when they first started, Peng Yibin was originally a general of Huo Yi of the Red Jacket Army, and he defected to Yang Miaozhen after Huo Yi's death, which was Liu Quan's line.

"Xiao Huo, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are already the head of Da Song Jingdong!" When Liu Quan jumped off the boat, his body shook slightly, and someone wanted to support him, but he pushed him away: "Good boy, well done, Li Quan's house was also driven away by you!" ”

"I am the manager of Jingdong, but your brother Liu has become a relative of the emperor. The fourth lady was named a virtuous concubine! That's second only to the Queen! Peng Yibin hugged Liu Quan's arm tightly: "It turned out that the official family sent me food and salary at the beginning, but it is ridiculous that Li Quan didn't know that most of the soldiers in his hands belonged to the official family!" ”

Both of them laughed happily.

The ship's escorts got off the boat one by one, and it was Li Ye who led them. Among these escorts, quite a few of them were the young men of the Red Jacket Army who were sent by Li Quan to beg for begging, and they were all in high spirits when they set foot on this old place.

"Look, the young man who Li Quan threw to the fourth lady like a burden at the beginning is now a good man." Liu Quan pointed to these escort teams that were rapidly assembling the whole team: "Xiao Huo, this time I brought three thousand people, all of them are seeking elites. ”

Peng Yibin is somewhat unconcerned about the "Liuqiu Elite", although he looks at these people assembled in the whole team, they are extremely majestic, and they also have the momentum of elite soldiers, but in his opinion, no matter how well they train in Liuqiu, they can't compare to the veterans of a hundred battles in his hands. Therefore, he just played haha and did not comment, Liu Quan didn't care, and called Li Ye over and said: "This is Peng Yibin, the current manager of Jingdong, you can call him Brother Peng." ”

Seeing that Liu Quan summoned the leader of the Liuqiu Escort Team to be so young, and asked him to call himself Brother Peng, Peng Yibin was a little unhappy in his heart, he was really temperamental, and his displeasure was put on his face. Liu Quan said to him again: "This is Li Ye and Li Hanfan, who is begging for the escort team, but he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he has been with the official family since he was a child. ”

Hearing this, Peng Yibin was moved, and understood that Liu Quan was kind. He defected to the Great Song Dynasty halfway, and he was already very suspicious, if he could get along with these close ministers of the Son of Heaven, then there would be no villain slander in front of the Son of Heaven. He hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands: "It turned out to be the escort team, and I looked up for a long time." ”

"Brother Peng's words are empty, I'm just a nobody, how can I have anything to look up to for a long time?" Li Ye smiled and said: "The official family has a letter to me, saying that this is to learn from Brother Peng and other long-term generals, if Brother Peng can afford me, then I will be driven by a pawn under my account!" ”

Hearing him say it cheerfully, Peng Yibin was also very happy, he was loyal to the official family and Yang Miaozhen, but he also had his own small abacus, in the secret decree sent by the official family, although it was very clear, he was still afraid that something would happen to the Liuqiu escort team stuffed on his own territory. But when he saw that it was Liu Quan, half of his heart was relieved, and then he saw that Li Ye was not that pampered and arrogant character, and the remaining half of his heart was also put down.

After welcoming the two into the military tent, Peng Yibin scratched his head and said: "Brother Liu, I listened to you at the beginning and stayed in the loyal army, but now that you are here, I will naturally listen to you, this Jingdong is in charge......"

"Xiao Peng, you still can't believe me." Liu Quan interrupted him with a sneer: "Among the secret decrees given to you by the official family, do you want to say anything about Jingdong Lianghuai Tuntian." ”

Peng Yibin's face flushed slightly, and he nodded: "Yes." ”

"We can't control Huainan, this Jingdong and Huaibei Tuntian, it's me." Liu Quan has been resting in Liuqiu for ten years, and seeing that the characters of his son and nephew's generation have grown up, the so-called old man is in the middle of nowhere, and his mind that has been dead and silent is alive again. After ten years of begging, especially since he was the head of the carpentry field, he consciously learned a lot of things, so he said a strong word: "Xiao Peng, I want you to help me this year, I don't need to do it next year, and I will help you the year after tomorrow. ”

"Really?" Peng Yibin was both surprised and delighted.

The land of Huaibei, now still in the hands of the Jin State, every time the Jin State invades the south, it is inevitable to take Huaibei as a springboard, into Huainan, Jiangbei, if you can take Huaibei, Huainan can become the rear, Huainan's water transportation is convenient, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and close to the sea, it was originally a rich place, if it can be stabilized, it can naturally become a granary treasury of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Huainan is close to Lin'an, not like Shudi, which is too far away.

"That's natural, when did my old Liu lie to you?" Liu Quan slapped his chest very loudly: "For so many years, you said that you listened to my old Liu's words, how could you ever suffer a loss?" ”

Peng Yibin smiled, and after a while, he said, "Brother Liu, since this is the case, what do you have to do with me?" ”

"Simple, after I take Xuzhou, I will borrow some soldiers and horses to guard with me." Liu Quan's words were amazing.

"Take Xuzhou?" Peng Yibin lost his voice.

Xuzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the loyal and righteous army has also attacked twice, but they are not allowed to enter the city. Although Peng Yibin and Li Quan's people, the whole army claims to be hundreds of thousands, in fact, there are only tens of thousands of people who really have combat power, and they have to defend Hulu in the north and resist Jin in the west, so they really can't mobilize a large army to besiege Xuzhou for a long time.

Moreover, the place of the four battles in Xuzhou is occupied, and the Jin State will definitely counterattack in a big way, and it may not be able to hold it.

"Exactly, I don't have enough troops, so I have to borrow troops from General Manager Peng." Liu Quan said with a smile: "Chief Manager Peng can rest assured, although Xuzhou City is strong, the Liuqiu Escort is not afraid. ”

Peng Yibin knew about the so-called "cannon" of the Liuqiu Escort Force, but that weapon had always been used at sea, and he didn't know that it could be used in land warfare, he frowned and pondered, and then said in surprise: "The Yellow River? ”

At this time, the Yellow River seized the Huai into the sea, just passing through Xuzhou, if the big ship can be driven into the Yellow River, it can be isolated from the north and south, and play the role of the ship's artillery.

Liu Quan smiled: "It's just that from Xuzhou to Huai'an, there are many boulders in the water, and the river must be dredged." Mr. Peng newly received hundreds of thousands of people from Li Quan, of which the elite belongs to you, and the rest belongs to me, I don't want it in vain, I am willing to exchange one stone of grain for ten young people, what does Mr. Peng think? ”

Peng Yibin was overjoyed, the Red Jacket Army coerced the homeless people to fight, although the momentum was great, the combat power was not necessarily strong, how could the food in exchange be more real! He nodded hurriedly, and then said with a smile: "What a friendship Brother Liu has with me, if you still want it, just open your mouth, nothing else, this person has a lot of manpower!" ”

"There is one more thing that needs to be taken care of by Mr. Peng." Liu Quan smiled again: "The official family intends to recover and want to recapture Xuzhou from the hands of the Jin people, but the ministers of the court and the central government have quite opposition, so this time to send troops, it is necessary for General Manager Peng to find a reason, so as not to make the official family embarrassed." ”

"Those gang of rotten Confucians, what kind of climate has become, and the official family is also very generous." Peng Yibin is the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and he has not been less angry with the princes of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and he sneered: "This matter is on me, they scolded me too much, and they don't care about this more time!" ”
