Chapter 19 Two sisters-in-law forced to marry
Just as Gongsun Kang was flying in Jingzhou, an urgent military information was delivered to him.
It turned out that it was the Xianbei people from the east who bordered Buyeo and invaded Buyeo country.
The king of Buyeo asked Gongsun Du for help, and Gongsun Du had already sent Zhao Yun, the governor of Liaodong, to lead 20,000 Liaodong iron cavalry to support Buyeo, and at the same time flew pigeons to pass on the book, urging Gongsun Kang to return to Liaodong as soon as possible.
Gongsun Kang and Huang Yueying said goodbye, but Huang Yueying still didn't want to go to Liaodong.
Gongsun Kang temporarily selected 30 female armor soldiers and left them to protect Huang Yueying's safety. Then he took Zuo Ci on the road.
Zuo Ci was like a fish in water in Jingzhou, and he didn't want to follow Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang said: "It is possible that we will meet the shaman of the steppe this time, which is another way to communicate with the gods. ”
Zuo Ci would not let go of any opportunity to investigate the occult, so he followed Gongsun Kang away.
Back in Liaodong, Gongsun Kang first went to visit Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du's body is getting worse day by day. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in life, Gongsun Kang still used the thunder and lightning qi in his body to help Gongsun Du comprehensively sort out the body meridians. He also extorted the Divine Cultivation Pill from Zuo Ci and gave Gongsun Du a small gourd. Tell him to take one pill a month, not more than one, because the deficiency will not be replenished.
In this way, Gongsun Du, who was supposed to die of illness in 204, could live a few more years.
Back at the Champion Hou Mansion, there are naturally many wives and concubines, and Yingying Yanyan came up to ask for warmth.
That night, it was inevitable that they would sleep together, and the rain and dew would be wet.
This time, Gongsun Kang has been out for more than half a year, and the seeds sown half a year ago are now bearing fruit. More than half of the wives and concubines were 7 or 8 months pregnant. Now it's going to be produced.
Of course, Gongsun Kang didn't touch them, but just comforted them with kind words.
After a few days of stable life, the two sisters-in-law Zhen Ji and Cai's sisters-in-law heard that he was back, so they came to the door excitedly.
Zhen Ji has become a big girl, and her demeanor has the demeanor of a princess and a mother, and her appearance is superb. She was very quiet, just looking at Gongsun Kang boldly.
"Brother-in-law, you go out once and bring back a woman, but the woman who has been by your side all the year round doesn't cherish it." It was Cai Shi, Cai Wenji's younger sister, who is 22 years old this year, and she is an absolute old girl in this era. Cai Yong mentioned a few young junjie to her, but she didn't marry or live, so she kept dragging it out.
Gongsun Kang thought they were fighting for their sisters.
Who wants Cai's topic to change: "Brother-in-law, when will you marry us?" ”。
"Oh?" , Gongsun Kang was stunned. Zhen Ji is her own wife, but what the hell is Cai's? I want to say that you are still young, but Zhen Ji is 18 years old this year, and Cai is 22 years old in a few years. They are all old girls of this era, and they are already at an age where children can run all over the ground.
"I need to discuss this matter with your sister." Gongsun Kang is not shirking, but really wants to determine their sister's intentions.
Of course, Zhen Jiang will not object, when all the Zhen family immigrated to Liaodong, everyone knew that there would be this day. But Gongsun Kang was not at home all year round, running around all day long, and unknowingly delayed Zhen Ji's marriage.
Now Gongsun Kang is talking to her, and she immediately agrees and urges Gongsun Kang to do things as soon as possible.
When asked about Cai Wenji, she just smiled bitterly. There is the example of Big Qiao and Little Qiao, and it is nothing for sisters to marry together. But can his father, Cai Yong, agree? I got married at that time, but because my father didn't agree, it dragged on for more than a year.
She decided to go back to her parents' house once to see her old father's opinion.
In Cai's Mansion, Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, and Cai's three people sat opposite each other.
Old man Cai's face was dark, and he stared at Cai's and said, "I said, why don't you marry alive or dead, and you want to marry your brother-in-law?" ”
"What's wrong with my brother-in-law? You see how good he is to his sister. Cai pouted disapprenousively.
"I'm ashamed enough to have a daughter as a concubine, and you want me to lose someone again?" Old man Cai's heart disagreed.
"That's not called a concubine, that's the imperial concubine!" Cai Shi showed shrewdness, she said: "Everyone else is married together as sisters, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Qi Qi Qi Muge, and Mei Ji Ji Ji. I also want to enter the palace, and I will join forces with my sister in the future, and I can't let my sister be bullied. ”
At a young age, he knew how to fight in the palace, and Gongsun Kang had not yet unified the world!
Old man Cai trembled with anger and roared angrily: "Sven sweeps the floor!" Sven sweeps the floor! ”
Cai Shi was not panicked at all, she said: "If you don't agree with me getting married, I'll go and seduce my brother-in-law, and wait until my belly is big, see what you do?" ”
Cai is not talking about it, in history, when she was 13 years old, she eloped with Uncle Yang, a friend of Old Man Cai. She is a woman who dares to love and hate, and has a lot of vision.
Old man Cai was half angry, and under Cai Wenji's persuasion, he had to agree. But he can't make Gongsun Kang a little proud, and he asks that in the dowry, he must write a poem for Cai's family.
There are many poems, just copy another one. Gongsun Kang said there was no pressure.
He wrote:
Fan Su cherry tooth jade beads, small brute wind fine noodles newly painted.
If the moon closes and the flowers bloom shyly, the dragon is drunk in the smile.
This poem, in fact, was originally written about Diao Chan. Now it's transferred to Cai's, anyway, they are all beauties, and everyone will think that they are talking about themselves when they praise them.
In this way, Zhen Ji and Cai are both sure to marry Gongsun Kang. Although they are concubines, the two families are big families, so naturally there are a lot of etiquette to go. It's not in a hurry for a while.
Originally, the unmarried couple should avoid suspicion, but the Cai family ran to the Champion Hou Mansion every day. Everyone can only turn a blind eye and hear nothing, only Old Man Cai secretly prays that he will never get pregnant before getting married.
Cai Wenji is also worried about this, so she watches Cai's tightly every day.
Gongsun Kang smiled bitterly, but persuaded Cai Wenji instead: "Cai is a smart person, she knows what to do and what not to do." If you wanted to do it, you would have done it for so many years! ”
Cai Wenji snorted and asked, "So, as long as my sister hooks her hand, you will pounce?" ”
When Gongsun Kang saw that he was burned, he could only hug his head and say, "You continue to supervise!" When I didn't say anything. ”
The structure of Liaodong's political and military circles is very perfect, and Gongsun Kang has been absent from Liaodong for a year and a half, and the military advisers can also handle it in an orderly manner with confidential secretaries.
After Zhao Yun arrived in Buyeo with 20,000 Liaodong iron cavalry, he won many battles. It is almost time to completely drive the invading eastern Xianbei people out of Buyeo.
Since Zhao Yun was able to lead the army to fight independently, Gongsun Kang did not go out again.
He took the case file presented by the confidential secretary and carefully looked at the details of the battle of Buyeo.
Zhao Yun's army supplies were provided by the Buyeo people, mostly beef and mutton meat. Liaodong soldiers are also used to eating meat and do not have indigestion. It seems that in the future, when fighting in the grassland, it is necessary to respect the habits of the grassland people, eat meat and drink mare's milk, so as to maintain the ability to fight on a long-term basis.
The Xianbei people still have unilateral stirrups and no Takahashi saddles, which they suffer a lot. But the people who grew up on horseback, the people who can sleep on horses, and the kung fu on horses is not comparable to the Han people.
The Xianbei people also used kite flying tactics, and the Liaodong soldiers were in a tug-of-war with them. Fortunately, the bows and arrows equipped by the Liaodong soldiers had a longer range than those of the Xianbei people, and in this regard, they took advantage of a lot.
The combat effectiveness of the Xianbei people is very tenacious, and the casualties of the Liaodong iron cavalry are relatively serious. On the battlefield of iron and fire, it is impossible to always be the enemy who is dead and his own people are safe and sound.
A hundred battles are a good soldier! You can't train a true warrior without experiencing blood and fire.
Gongsun Kangti wrote a letter to Zhao Yun and told him: When the spoils of war are distributed, gold, silver, treasures, war horses, cattle and sheep are optional; But the more Xianbei captives, the better.
Gongsun Kang wanted to take advantage of the advantages of the system to select a group of Xianbei clan system armor soldiers. So as to master the tactics and living habits of the Xianbei people.
In the next battle with the steppe, push the platoon ballista up and open the light. Gongsun Kang thought in his heart: a great weapon of destruction that surpasses a thousand years in this era and sweeps everything. As long as the crossbow arrows are not interrupted, it can ensure that the Xianbei people will die as many as they come, and it is a real war artifact!
