Chapter 5 Good News
Chang'an, the light rain in early spring fell on Wu Ming's body, he exchanged glances with his companion Jia Niu, turned into a wine shop on the corner, and the Hu girl who was selling wine saw them and immediately smiled: "Two Langjun, the slave family has not been seen for many days." ”
"The shopkeeper has a good business, so let's have a pot of wine as usual." Wu Ming said with a smile, with a Guanzhong accent, facing the revealing clothes and scratching her head in the face of the bearded girl who was no longer the original youth.
The female shopkeeper walked over with the wine jug in one step, put the wine jug in front of Wu Ming in the eyes of the rest of the wine guests, and then leaned on him, her red lips whispered softly in her ear: "Did Wu Langjun bring wine money today?" If you don't have a credit at the slave house, you can do it."
"You can also do a good deed, and stay here tonight."
"Shopkeeper, that kid is as thin as a needle, where is it strong!!" A drinker with a meaty face shouted, "Lao Tzu didn't bring any wine money, so it's better to let Lao Tzu"
"No money for alcohol? Go home and go to your mother!! The female shopkeeper scolded loudly, although the words were ugly, but the pungent and spicy of the Fanbang beauty was full of charm, which made people look straight, and the drinker smiled dryly and said that he wanted to serve wine, and all the people who wanted to see the excitement were laughing.
Jia Niu smiled helplessly, he saw Wu Ming quietly handing over the things quietly handed by the other party into his arms, so he picked up the wine jug and filled their respective wine glasses, and the two of them drank wine from the side dishes they served.
"It's been more than half a year in a blink of an eye." Jia Niu sighed softly, Wu Ming smiled when he heard this, helped him fill a glass of wine, and then whispered that you will go back in two days, and don't miss the days here.
This is not a place to talk, so some topics cannot be talked about so as not to be heard, but Jia Niu raised his head, and Wu Ming also remembered Bazhou, which was thousands of miles away, and they came to Chang'an at the beginning of last year, and now it is almost a year.
I don't know how the partners are now, and I don't know if Yuwen Envoy Jun has made great achievements in office, Tian Yuansheng's gang of thieves has been cleared, and the resistance to come to Yuwen Envoy Jun to rule the state is much smaller.
The flames of war that ignited last year have been burning until now, the Zhou and Sui armies have been fighting, and the Shannan Zhou army is said to be still at war with the Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although they were connected to Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi in Chang'an, and now they are based in Chang'an City, but they are all Peiguo Gong's people who travel between Chang'an and Anlu, of course, they are their own people from Anlu to Xiyang, but it is not appropriate to let others pass on secret letters, so Wu Ming and they don't know much about the specific situation in Shannan.
However, after getting the things today, Jia Niu and his companions will follow Pei Guogong's people to Anlu, although everyone has lost their parents and families, and they are bachelors who live in the county mansion, but Wu Ming decided to stay in Chang'an and continue to carry out the tasks assigned by Yuwenwen.
Naturally, he will not be the only one left, there are two companions left, and this is not all, there is another companion who is lurking in secret, since the time of departure last year, they have divided into two routes, each entering Chang'an.
Wu Ming is responsible for connecting with Pei Guogong this way, which is considered to be in the light, and they don't know the tasks carried out by the other way, even if they are in the dark, the two sides have not been in contact for more than half a year.
The two passers-by only knew each other's contact information in case of emergency, but they never had the opportunity to use it, and certainly no one wanted to use it.
According to the task arranged in advance, Wu Ming and the others will turn into cats for a while, track down those cunning mice, chase after the mice that may become chased by cats again, and come up with various ways to escape.
Constantly chasing and being chased, Wu Ming has adapted to and liked this kind of day, being a cat and a mouse every day, the exciting feeling makes him excited, just like when he followed the master around, and dealt with vicious dogs and evil slaves of big families.
The two drank for a while, and when they saw that the rain stopped outside, Wu Ming paid the bill, and after accepting the teasing of the female shopkeeper with a smile, he and Jia Niu walked out of the wine shop with a hat, but when they first came to the street, a cheer came from far and near.
"Great victory, great victory, great victory of the officers and soldiers!!"
More and more people on the street are running to tell each other, of course Wu Ming and Jia Niu have to ask to understand, the 'official army' in people's mouths will naturally not be the Zhou army, and it must be a big victory for the Sui army to make such a big move, so the question is where to win.
"This brother, where is the victory of the official army?" Wu Ming grabbed a man and asked.
"The victory is outside East Street, it came from there." The man looked confused.
"Uh, I want to ask where the official army defeated the enemy army and won a great victory," Wu Ming reluctantly continued to ask.
"Where? How do I know where it is? ”
"Uh, but isn't Brother Tai talking about the great victory of the official army?" Wu Ming asked with black lines on his head.
"Anyway, if others say that the official army has won a great victory, then I will say it."
It makes so much sense that I am speechless. Wu Ming's words rang in his ears, and he and Jia Niu inquired for a long time, so they finally found out some useful content from the crowd shouting "great victory of the official army".
The official army (Sui army) won a great victory, and the Turkic army that entered the army was defeated, and the steppe army, which had been stagnant since the end of last year, finally could not stand up after a few months of blowing the north wind.
First of all, the big head or Datou Khan suddenly withdrew his troops, leaving another Sha and what a little Khan was alone, and then he also slipped away.
It doesn't matter if this slips away, the large and small khans of the Turkic army don't know what's going on, and suddenly they are in a mess, like a thief who was discovered by the head of the household, and they rushed to run away one by one.
As a result, they were chased and beaten by the officials and soldiers, and now these invincible Turkic armies have fled, and the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the people of Guanzhong dissipated in an instant, and the news soon spread throughout the city, and the people of Chang'an were excitedly discussing this topic.
"The Turks have withdrawn, and the officers and soldiers are afraid that they are going to the east, right?"
"To the East? What are you doing in the east, aren't the officers and soldiers tired? Don't you want to rest? ”
"Stupid, isn't it, the Huainan side of Henan has been fighting for more than half a year, and now the official army has withdrawn its hand in the north, and it is not allowed to send reinforcements to the east?"
"No, no, according to reliable sources, the official army is going to move, but not to Henan" Someone pretended to be profound, and saw that a group of people were listening, and he whispered mysteriously: "The official army is going to march east along the Yangtze River from the Xinzhou Governor's Mansion to attack Liang. ”
Someone asked what this had to do with Liang State, and the man shook his head and said that this was "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and after taking Liang State, it was not far north to Xiangyang in Xiangzhou, and taking Xiangyang and then crossing Hanshui north was Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.
He said that the main force of the Shannan Zhou army was in the north of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, attacking the official army of Yuzhou to the east, and if the Liang State was lost, it would give the Shannan Zhou army a headache, and it would have to withdraw the army as soon as it had a headache, so there was no way to attack the official army in Yuzhou from the west.
Another person was worried that if Chen Guo on the opposite side of Liang Guo took advantage of the fire to rob and cut off the back road of the official army, it would not be a joke, the man smiled and said don't worry, the son of his brother-in-law's brother-in-law's brother-in-law's neighbor is working in the military department, and there are definite signs that the official army has gathered a million troops, and it will go down the river to take Liang Guo directly.
"Then Chen Guo tossed the one-legged bronze man and vomited blood, where is there still a chance to steal chickens and dogs, and besides, there are so many soldiers and horses in the official army, forgive him and the Southern Dynasty will not dare to make a mistake."
As soon as I heard these four words, some people who did not know the truth asked what the "one-legged bronze man" was, and some knowledgeable people explained with a smile, saying that this one-legged bronze man is the thorn history of a state on the Yangtze River in the Zhou Kingdom, called Yuwen Leng or something.
Its usual weapon is a one-legged bronze man, and at the beginning of last year, Yu Wenleng used this one-legged bronze man to commit murder and killed Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing in Chen State.
"Yuwen Leng? I remember it was Yuwen Fever, right? ”
"What hot and cold, Wen, it's Yuwen Wen, he is the second son of Daxingtai in Zhou Guoshan South Road, the famous Yuwen Evil Wolf!"
"Huh? Could it be the Yuwen wolf who caused trouble in the harem of the Liang Kingdom? ”
"Troublesome Liang State Harem? Really fake! "Some rough embryos noticed the word 'trouble', and the atmosphere of the scene changed, and everyone became 'hey, hey, hey'.
"Of course, I have a clan brother in Shudi, and his family is doing business, and from time to time he takes a boat to Liang and Chen, and I heard that the Yuwen wolf is tsk in the palace of Liang State......
"Haqiu !!" Yu Wenwen sneezed and accidentally woke up her infant daughter, the little girl howled and cried, and the nurse hurriedly picked it up and coaxed her. The apologetic Yuwen Wen walked away and turned to the side to see Xiao Jiuniang.
He added another member to his family, it was Xiao Jiuniang's daughter who was born the day before yesterday, the delivery went smoothly, the mother and daughter were safe, Yuwenwen naturally smiled when he had a daughter, but there were still people who were unhappy.
Naturally, Xiao Jiuniang, who was unhappy, wanted to give birth to a son for her husband, but it turned out to be a daughter, of course, this is nothing, the key daughter was born in early February, which made Xiao Jiuniang want to cry without tears.
Jiangnan customs, born in February is unlucky, although Xiao Jiuniang was pregnant last year, according to the time delay to calculate the delivery date is about February, but Xiao Jiuniang prayed day and night to hope that her daughter would be born at the end of January, but the result still failed to do so.
Xiao Jiuniang herself was born in February, but she was disgusted by her parents and sent out of the palace, and she didn't have to meet her biological parents for more than ten years.
"Now, it's easy to have wrinkles when you have a bitter face." Yu Wenwen comforted the side room, seeing that the beauty was about to become a bitter beauty, he had to patiently do popular science to break the feudal superstition.
"Huannu cried full of anger, thinking that my health is tight, I am still looking forward to marrying my daughter in the future, what should you do with your sad body?" Yu Wenwen incarnated as a psychiatrist and comforted Xiao Jiuniang, a 'depressed' mother.
Huan Nu is the nickname of the little girl, because her fair complexion looks quite like Xiao Jiuniang, and it is foreseeable that she will also be a beauty in the future.
Huan slave is a slave who washes clothes, and her identity is really low, but the infant mortality rate is super high these years, in order to ensure that her daughter can grow up safely, Yu Wenwen feels that it doesn't matter if her nickname is low.
Xiao Jiuniang's original heart knot has already gone for most of it, but she was depressed for a while, and after some persuasion from her husband, looking at her healthy daughter in swaddling clothes, the joy of being a first-time mother regained the upper hand.
Watching her daughter grow up, watching her daughter get married, and watching her daughter live a happy life, with such expectations, Xiao Jiuniang feels that life is full of hope.
The family was enjoying themselves, and suddenly the housekeeper Li Sanjiu reported that Ren Changshi had a business to see, Yuwenwen went to the study in the front yard, but saw Ren Chong and the messenger of the governor's mansion waiting for a long time, waiting for the other party to explain the situation, Yuwenwen was a little stunned.
The tug-of-war between the Zhou army and the Sui army lasted for more than half a year, and now the war situation has finally begun to take shape: the Zhou State has 'taken back' the Hezhou Governor's Mansion and the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, and so far the Zhou State has become a piece of national border.
However, this is also the Sui army's 'let', the other party saw that the battle situation of the two governors was getting worse, so they simply retreated into advance, and took the initiative to shrink the forces of the two governors of He and Wu back to Yuzhou and Luozhou, and a large lump of land there became a hedgehog, so that the Zhou army besieging Luozhou and Yuzhou could not say anything but give up.
"The Sui army relied on the city to hold on, and then a large number of cavalry moved between the cities to respond." Ren Chong said, "The other party has a new type of trebuchet, and the city cannot be taken in a hurry, and the cavalry of the Sui army is numerous and the main force is still there, so after discussing with the imperial court, Daxingtai decided to focus on defense and consolidate the results of the battle." ”
"Of course, whether there is a truce or not depends on the movements of the Sui army, if the other party counterattacks, the official army will also have to fight, so the general manager ordered the humble post to pass on the military information, hoping that Yuwen envoy can be prepared accordingly."
"The imperial court has taken the two governor's mansions of He and Wu, and Shannan has also firmly controlled Jingzhou, if the Sui army is also mainly defensive, then everyone is not busy in vain" Yu Wenwen nodded, but the worries in his heart were not spoken.
On the eastern front, the Zhou army poured out, but the result was that the Sui army was not injured, and the Turks on the western front did not move, it seems that they were kneeling, and the simultaneous attack on the east and west fronts has not been able to beat the Sui State to internal injuries, and it will not be good to wait for the other party to relieve his breath!
The Turks were not going to be broken by his cheap father-in-law this time, and they couldn't recover for a few years, and without the constraints of the northern steppe, the Sui army, which had not lost its strength, could turn from defense to attack.
The Sui State lost the two burdens of Hezhou and Wuzhou, and shrank the intact troops, just like a person who retracts his fist before punching, and it is not known whether Zhou Guo will be beaten to internal injuries when he punches the next time.
However, Yuwenwen didn't dwell on it for too long, after all, it wasn't his turn to worry about the Sui War, and it was good for him that the war in the north really stopped: it was too cool to brush the copy of Chen Guo before, and he was ordered by his father to withdraw troops to protect the overall situation, and now if the overall situation is stable, then the ban can be lifted!
'Fish belly, wash it up and wait for me to go shabu!!' Yu Wenwen frowned when he thought of this, and looked at the touch of spring outside the window, he was already planning in his heart how to change the pattern and brush the copy.
Spring, it's the season of human warfare again!! (To be continued.) )
