Chapter 45 Outcome of the Talks
The next day, the imperial envoys Zheng Yi and Huang Fuqian held a 'warm and friendly' closed-door meeting with Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, and his staff.
However, this has nothing to do with Yu Wenwen, he is training his own pro-army in a barracks outside Anlu City, since mid-May, he has taken 300 pro-troops with the army to go on the expedition, eating, lodging, and even marching and camping together, and the names of the 300 people can be called by name.
"Xiong Da, why did your team come to the bottom? Could it be that it's too soft to go home and toss with my mother-in-law these days?" Yu Wenwen looked at the three dejected men in front of him and laughed and scolded, and the five pro-soldiers around him, including Fifth Brother Chen, laughed loudly.
After two months of training, the practice project of the 300 pro-army has now reached the spear piercing stage, and today is the enthusiastic spear piercing competition: a wooden block is placed on the left, center, and right on a cross-shaped wooden stake, and the soldiers of each team listen to the command and shoot the wooden block at the designated position at the same time, and the person who does not stab or fails to stab according to the password is at least the first.
Yu Wenwen divided the pro-army into six teams of fifty people each, one team in each team and two team deputies, and set up fifty cross stakes in the camp to practice spear piercing, before.
The three people in front of him are the team leaders, and the two behind are the team vice-presidents, surnamed Xiong, the boss of the family, so Yuwenwen called him Xiong Da, and the third team under his command was at the bottom of today's game, and was responsible for washing the stinky clothes and socks of the whole army according to the rules.
"Jungong, not next time!" The bear team was clenching their fists, and after the army returned to Anlu, the Xiyang County Gong gave the whole army a five-day vacation to let them go home for reunion, but after returning to the team, many people did not come back to their senses, resulting in a decline in state, and he decided to work overtime to train the boys in the team.
Yu Wenwen nodded and let the team leaders and deputy members of the other five teams come in: "From today on, the training will last for three months in accordance with the rules and regulations previously set by this father, and the affairs of the army will be in charge of Chen Xuan. ”
The lord of the building, a common military position during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a building with hundreds of troops generally has about five hundred, Yuwenwen appointed Chen Wudi as the owner of his own army, and the remaining four pro-soldiers assisted in training the new army together.
"It's still the old rule, you can't beat and scold soldiers at will, and you can't deduct military salaries!" Yu Wenwen changed his smile and said sharply, "My father-in-law may have to go out for a few months, and all affairs will be settled through negotiation between Lord Chen and the four deputies, if my father-in-law comes back and finds that someone is a traitor, he will not be spared!" ”
"Order!" Everyone gave a military salute in unison.
Fully armed off-road four-mile road, spear stabbing, spear stabbing is the training subject of the pro-army in the next three months, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the drill every five days a big competition, the first and second can add meat to dinner, and the fifth and sixth at the bottom do chores.
Chen Wudi and others have no experience in training and leading troops, but Yu Wenwen let them do it, which can be regarded as training talents, and after arranging all kinds of matters, Yu Wenwen walked out of the barracks and came to the side of the martial arts field.
In the martial arts arena, Yuwen Fifteen and 'Rib Essence' Zhang Yu were fighting fiercely with armor all over their bodies, Yuwen Fifteen used a wooden long knife and Zhang Yu used a wooden short knife, and the rules of the competition were that they could only use weapons and could not use their hands and feet.
The two sides faced each other for a moment and then bumped into each other, and within a few rounds, Yuwen Fifteen was held to the throat by Zhang Yu with a short knife.
"Let's go, let's go back to dinner." Yuwen Wen beckoned the two of them over, "How is the victory?" ”
Yuwen fifteen hung his head: "I didn't win once." And Zhang Yu was just smirking beside him, Yuwenwen asked them to change their armor and follow him back to the city, and the three of them rode out of the barracks slowly, and the camp door was then closed tightly.
"You're not a master of swordsmanship, and if you lose, you'll be defeated!" Seeing Yuwen fifteen listless, Yuwen Wen's face was full of disdain, "Do you want to compare the skills that people forced out of their knives to lick blood?" ”
In the past few days, Yuwen Fifteen and Zhang Yu have had a trick when they are free, and they are all defeated without accident, he is good at group fights, but his knife skills have not been honed much, compared with Zhang Yu's knife skills that have been boiled out of blood on the battlefield since he was a child.
Zhang Yu's eldest brother Li Team is dying in the Battle of Xiangyang, leaving behind the orphan and widow's wife Zhang and young son, although Zhang Yu gave her the reward money in exchange for Wang Yi's head to her mother and son to live without worry, but the orphan and widow are always inconvenient and easy to be bullied.
Yuwen Wen saw that Zhang's was upright and diligent, so he asked her to go to his mansion to listen to his wife's dispatch to do things, Zhang's moved to Anlu with his young son to live in Xiyang County Mansion, anyway, there are many empty rooms in his mansion, which can be regarded as a rise in popularity, and it is a good sign to have children.
'The soul is faint, why haven't you seen any movement after working hard for so long! As soon as he thought of this, Yu Wenwen was depressed.
Zhang Yu saw that his sister-in-law had taken care of him, and he was not afraid of being bullied, but he was desperate to serve Yuwenwen, he had only learned to ride a horse in recent days, so he didn't dare to ride a horse and raise a whip, and slowly walked towards the city with Lord Lang.
"Yo, isn't this Xu Langjun?" Yu Wenwen saw an 'acquaintance' on the street of Anlu - Xu Shao Xu Sizong, the son of Yuezhou Thorn History, who was shopping with his old servant.
"It turned out to be the Duke of Xiyang County, Xu Shao was polite." Xu Shao made a bow without humility or arrogance, and he made a bet with Yuwen Wen: if Yang Jian kills the five kings of Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng who are staying in Chang'an within the year, Xu Shao will run three laps around An Lu naked, and Yuwen Wen will run on the contrary.
"Seeing that there is still half a year left, Xu Langjun wants to exercise more, don't run a lap and get a wind chill when the time comes, it will be a bad thing."
"I will return the original words, and ask the county magistrate to exercise more." ……
In the afternoon, the "friendly consultations" between the imperial court and Anzhou continued at the Yamen of the governor of Anzhou.
Not long after Zheng Yi came out of the place of 'reincarnation of grains', Yuwen Wen 'floated' in front of him with a wooden box in his hand.
"Xiyang County Gong, this is?" Zheng Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the shiny glass jewelry in the box, and Yuwen Wen smiled and whispered: "Neiko was overjoyed to hear that her parents were well, and she got her wish last night. ”
The two men looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, Yuwen Wen struck while the iron was hot: "This is not a person who takes out his favorite jewelry, and begs Pei Guogong for one thing." ”
"What's the matter? This is something that the official would never do. ”
"Where is it, now that the imperial court and Anzhou have resolved the misunderstanding, they are thinking about taking the old father-in-law's family to Anzhou"
The two of them muttered sneakily for a while, Zheng Yi put away the 'meaning' and returned to the council hall without changing his face, and Yu Wenwen returned to the mansion to wait for the results of the talks.
Towards the end of the evening, the two sides finally reached a conclusion after 'friendly exchanges', and the basic bottom line of both sides was kept:
The imperial court selected the governor of Xiangzhou and Huangzhou according to the meaning of Anzhou, Anzhou was not a rebellion, and the Jingzhou army withdrew from Fancheng opposite Xiangyang to the Jingzhou governor's office.
Anzhou sent an envoy to Beijing to meet the young emperor to reiterate the view of 'supporting a great Zhou', supporting Yang Jian, the prime minister of Zuo, and not attacking the cities of other states and counties in the imperial court.
Here's what both sides failed to get on the battlefield:
Fuzhou under the Xiangzhou Governor's Office had defected to the Jiangling Governor on the west side due to the war, and now it is back under the Xiangzhou Governor's Office;
Li Hui, the assassin of Shenzhou in the north of Anzhou, responded to Wei Chi Yu to rebel against the imperial court, and Anzhou was not allowed to interfere with the imperial court's crusade against the Shenzhou rebels, nor was it allowed to let the rebels enter; As for Shenzhou, after the pacification of Shenzhou, the checkpoints on the main road to Anzhou in the south were controlled by the Anzhou army.
The Xiangzhou Governor's Office shall not interfere with the personnel exchanges and material transportation between the imperial court and the Liang State;
Under the rule of the Xiangzhou Governor's Office, Cai and Chang Prefectures were still under the administration of the Jingzhou Governor's Office under the rule of the imperial court, but they were not allowed to interfere with the personnel exchanges and material transportation between Xiangyang and Suizhou.
The last one, Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County entered Beijing as an envoy from Anzhou!
When the news came, the Xiyang County Mansion was panicked but then calmed down by Yuwenwen, who summoned the backbone of the mansion in the study to arrange many affairs one by one, and everything went on as usual: Liu Caiyun led Zhang Yiman and Hu Sanzi to continue to be responsible for the science and technology tree of the 'income-generating' silver mirror, Zhang Dingfa and Fu Youcai were responsible for the 'security' work, and the affairs of the mansion were handled by the housekeeper Li Sanjiu.
Yuwen Fifteen, Lin Youdi and Zhang Yu followed Yuwen Wen to Chang'an as their entourage, and the progress of Lian Zhu's test was suspended, and Lin Youdi's assistant was responsible for metallizing the wooden model of the "turning tool rotary cutting machine".
"All in all, when my father is not in the mansion, all major affairs are decided by my wife!"
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
When the others retreated, Wei Chi, who was sitting silently beside her husband, couldn't stop her tears from falling, Yuwenwen took her into her arms and comforted her softly: "Sanniang, don't worry, you will definitely take your father-in-law for your husband."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Chi Chi interrupted crying: "I just want you to come back safely"
If she could, she didn't want her husband to go to Chang'an at all, and now the situation is clear that the imperial court and Anzhou will turn their faces one day, and her husband's trip this time is not so much as a messenger as a hostage.
When the two sides meet each other, will the husband who is under house arrest in Chang'an still be safe and sound?
But it's impossible not to go, since the Anzhou army wants to breathe, then even if the court's 'proton' requirements are unwilling, they have to admit it, Yu Wenming, the eldest son of Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, is the natural candidate to inherit his father's business in the future, so the second son of Yu Wenwen can only be a hostage in Chang'an.
What's more, he has been passed on to Yu Wenliang's younger brother Yu Wenyi in terms of patriarchy, and for the generals gathered around Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, the importance is not as important as Yu Wenming.
"My father and brother originally strongly opposed the hostages entering Beijing, and it was for my husband to strongly advocate the exclusion of the public opinion before agreeing to the court's demands."
Wei Chi Chi was stunned when she heard this, and after listening to her husband whispering in her ear for a while, her face changed greatly: "How can this be!" ”
"What's not to do." Yu Wenwen sneered, "It's time to cut the chaos and save the intrigue every day." ”
"Erlang, why don't we live our lives incognito?" Wei Chi Chifan was shocked by what her husband said, but she snuggled tightly in his arms, she just wanted to stay with her husband for the rest of her life, what glory and wealth are more important than her beloved, "It's better to be at sunrise and rest at sunset"
"There is a husband, Sanniang is not afraid." Yu Wenwen just hugged her gently and didn't say more.
"Hmm." Wei Chi Chifan chose to believe her husband.
"For the husband, I want to weave with Sanniang in Chang'an City." Yu Wenwen whispered in his wife's ear, "Plough hard every night, let Sanniang weave a towering tree with lush leaves." ”
The tone of the word cultivation was so heavy that Wei Chi Chifan's ears turned red after hearing it, and seeing that the atmosphere was ambiguous, she was about to flee to the bedroom first, but she heard her husband say seriously: "Wait for me to come back." ”
"I'll wait for you."
The little two looked at each other with affection, and gradually got better, seeing that the scene of 'not suitable for children' was about to be staged in the study, Yu Wenwen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said:
"That's right! If Sanniang burns incense and worships the Buddha at home, she is not allowed to go to the monk's temple, nor is she allowed to let the monk come to her home! ”
"Why?"
"One-character monk, two-character monk, three-character ghost music official, four-character hungry ghost!"
"It's so bad"
The two rolled together and were tightly entangled, and there was no one outside the study except for the red-faced Yahuan Cuiyun.
