Chapter Seventy-Three: Fight When You Meet
The army that had spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the open and in the midst of hardship continued to march south.
Hurry up, the army still failed to rush back to Chenzhou before the Lantern Festival.
Finally, after a long journey of nearly 20 days, the Lantern Festival has passed for a few days, and it is almost time to come to the boundary of Chenzhou.
"Brother Sun, Chenzhou is coming soon, and our hometown is almost here." As he got closer and closer to home, Yuan Chao's mood was getting better and better, and today he was also happy to follow Sun Zushou to the forefront of the team.
"It's even more homesick. Although it was my first time back to Chenzhou, I still felt a little messy. "Sun Zushou has handed over the power to his good brother all the way, and he has lived a leisurely life.
But now Chen Zhouwei, who is about to take office, what is the situation in his hometown, what is his Chen Zhouwei's situation, and what will happen in the future, Sun Zushou has no bottom in his heart, and he is also a little drumming in his heart.
"Brother Sun, presumably the emperor's decree has already been transmitted to Chenzhou first, I estimate that when we reach the boundary of Chenzhou, there will be people from the guard to greet us, and maybe my father will also come to greet us." Yuan Chao speculated.
"It is indeed possible to say that the people from the guard office came to greet Shangguan. If your father is the governor of Chenzhou, if there is no you in this team, it will be absolutely impossible for him to come, I am a commander of the third grade, and I will have to rely more on your father's breath as an official in Chenzhou Wei in the future. Sun Zushou laughed openly.
The Ming Dynasty used literature to protect the military, although his eldest brother Sun was a military attache of the third grade, and his father was from the fifth grade of Zhizhou, but Sun Zushou did not have any cards in front of his Lao Tzu, and he still had to be flattered and flattered.
Yuan Chao heard that there was nothing to refute. "Haha, Brother Sun, let's talk about it, I still call you big brother, don't really treat yourself as a nephew."
Sun Zushou also laughed. "You, you're really going to make fun of your brother."
After walking for a while, I finally saw a long pavilion on the road ahead, and there were many people gathered next to the long pavilion.
"Brother Sun, it seems that the people in front of you are the ones who came to greet us." Yuan Chao silently slowed down the speed of the horses, allowing himself to lag behind Sun Zushou by half a horse, after all, his eldest brother Sun came to Chenzhou for the first time, and he wanted to give face to his eldest brother.
"Well, let's go to the Yuan Dynasty, let's go over." Sun Zushou tidied up the official robe he had already put on, and walked on horseback.
In the long pavilion, there were Yuan An, the governor of Chenzhou, Liu Jiyu, the judge, Cui Zhi'an, the commander of Chen Zhouwei, Liu Guoyou, the commander of Chen Zhouwei, and Zhao Ruofei, the commander of the commander.
They also saw a long dragon approaching in the distance.
"Lord Yuan, look, the army is here, I really didn't expect to bring back so many people this time." Judge Cui Zhian said next to Yuan An.
Yuan An also looked far away, since the day he beat his child to go north to King Qin, his mind was pulled up, and what he cared about the most all day long was the situation in the north, relying on various relationships to inquire about whether there was any news of his own child.
When he heard the bad news such as Yuan Chonghuan's treason and being locked by the emperor, the siege of the capital twice, and the defeat of the Mangui army, Yuan An was nervous every day.
Until one day a holy decree came from Beijing, and I actually heard in the holy decree that my child was named a hundred households.
Yuan An knew that his child was not only good, but also made meritorious contributions in the battle, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he didn't have time to investigate why Yuan Chao didn't say hello to him and fell into the army.
"Hmm. Let the drum music be played, and welcome the soldiers who came to serve in the north lively, and welcome the new commander of Chenzhou, General Sun Zushou. Yuan An knew that he was going to see his child, and he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
"Hmph, if it weren't for his son here, he would have come out to greet him, and it would have caused me to wait here to be cold." After muttering, Liu Jiyu in the back spat on the ground again.
"Uncle, I'm not convinced, I've been in Chenzhouwei for many years, and I'm finally about to get out, what kind of Sun Zushou actually came over and picked up a ready-made one, it's really unbearable, and there is no reason for heaven." Chen Zhouwei commanded Liu Guoyou, who was also angry on the side.
This Chen Zhouwei commander Tongzhi Liu Guoyou, is a distant relative of Liu Jiyu, Chenzhou Zhizhou, he has also been in Chenzhou Wei for many years, and he has survived to the command of Tongzhi, and he is waiting to take over another term as the commander of Chen Zhouwei, and when he can take over, he doesn't know what ecstasy soup the emperor drank, and suddenly announced the transfer of a Sun Zushou to be the new commander of Chen Zhouwei, which made him angry half to death.
"After all, it was transferred by the emperor's decree, and we will do enough work on face in a while, and we will have a long time in the future, and then we will take care of this foreign family Sun Zushou in the future." Liu Jiyu was also dissatisfied with his brother, originally his family's power could be further expanded, but it was disturbed by this Sun Zushou, and Liu Jiyu was also holding a fire in his stomach.
In the music of blowing and blowing, Sun Zushou led Yuan Chao to the long pavilion.
"The last general, Sun Zushou, has seen Lord Yuan, Zhizhou." Sun Zushou, who was wearing a dazzling scarlet robe, came to the long pavilion, immediately lowered his posture, and saluted the civil official wearing a green robe in the middle.
"Hahaha, General Sun has made outstanding achievements, he can be said to be the pillar of the country, this time he was ordered by the emperor to be the commander of Chenzhouwei, which is also the blessing of our people in Chenzhou." Yuan An also said beautiful words, but his eyes were looking at Yuan Chao, who was also wearing a green robe.
Sun Zushou was also acquainted, and after being polite with Yuan An, he began to be polite with other people in the pavilion in turn.
"Yuan Baihu, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's not majestic." Yuan An began to speak towards Yuan Chao.
"Father, it is the emperor who decreed to seal the hundred households for himself, and I can't resist the decree." Yuan Chao smiled, Yuan Chao naturally heard that Yuan An was blaming himself for suddenly joining the military.
There is no way, due to the collapse of the Wei system in the Ming Dynasty, military registration has become unpopular.
Yuan An no longer blamed, and nodded silently, after all, although his child did not take the right path of the imperial examination, now he has more or less taken the career of officialdom, and with an official position, he can be regarded as promising.
Yuan Chao also began to smile and salute the others in the pavilion.
"Hey, Yuan Gongzi, this time it's really bad, yesterday he was a white-faced talent, and today he became a centurion in the army, why don't you take the right path of a scholar, it's a pity." Liu Jiyu just said that he wanted to save face, and now he began to say congratulations in a weird way.
"Yo, Lord Liu? Why don't you read poetry and books to the fullest, haven't you heard Yang Jiong's popular poems from the military line of Ning as a centurion and a scholar who is a scholar? Lord Liu should play less tricks and read more sage books. The stomach of the province is out of stock. Yuan Chao also slammed back-for-tat, and Liu Jiyu, who provoked him, also had a change in his face.
