The third volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperity chapter eighty-eight strikes
Jing looked at this person who had relieved himself of the siege, the person in front of him was twenty-five or sixteen years old, he was dressed in an ordinary green coat, and from the outside, he would only think that he was an ordinary child of a family, but judging from the jealousy of the young men just now, Li Jing certainly knew that this person must have a high status in the Southern Chen Dynasty, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, he couldn't help but be seen by this person.
Seeing the begging young man being bitten by the black dog, Xu Deyan felt a little guilty in his heart, if he had stopped the young masters earlier, this young man would not have been bitten by the big black dog at all, but it made him see the character of the two teenagers clearly, and he intended to get acquainted with the two, so he said: "It is rare for the two little brothers to act so bravely, and they have not consulted the names of the two brothers." ”
Han Shichan glanced up at Xu Deyan, and was silent, this person could obviously stop the pranks of these young masters first, but he let things happen, although he relieved them, Han Shichan was not grateful to him.
Li Jing understands human feelings better than Han Shichan, if there is no such person, they have offended those sons, and now I am afraid that they can only hide in the east of Jiankang City, and hurriedly return the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare, this is my cousin Xiao Jing, my name is Xiao Jing." ”
Xiao is the surname of Liang Guo, a few months ago, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xian just led more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians to defect to Chen State, among which there are not 10,000 but thousands of people surnamed Xiao, Li Jing is pretending to be more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who have moved from Liang State, and it is difficult for others to notice.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Deyan heard that the two were surnamed Xiao, he immediately thought of Liang **min who came over some time ago: "Aren't the two little brothers from Liang?" ”
Li Jing sighed: "Sir, alas, the Liang Kingdom no longer exists. We are all citizens of the Chen Kingdom. ”
"Yes, it was Xu who said it wrong, the two brothers are naturally Chen Guoren now." Xu Deyan was even more happy, it turned out that these two people were from Liang Guo, no wonder there was no Jiankang's son's temperament, and now when Chen Guo was in need of employment, Xu Deyan had planned to consider examining the two again, and if there were no problems, he would recommend them as officials.
After Li Jing asked Xu Deyan for his name. only to learn that Xu Deyan was a concubine. No wonder the teenagers retreated. However, Li Jing didn't care about Xu Deyan's identity, he only paid attention to the movements of several generals of Chen Guo, one attached to the horse, and did not lead the troops, what role can be played in the big war.
Li Jing had already figured out whether to get closer to Xu Deyan in his mind. If Li Jing knew that Xu Deyan had the intention of recommending them as officials, he would definitely dispel his mind and leave immediately, if they were really officials, their fabricated identities would not be able to withstand inquiries at all.
The young man they saved was still bleeding. If there is no Xu Deyan. Li Jing, Han Shiyu can give him a little money at most to treat his injuries by himself, but with Xu Deyan, it is completely different. Soon asked the store to invite Lang Zhong for him, and before inviting Lang Zhong, he served him food to his heart's content, and took advantage of this kung fu to get a general understanding of the young man's life experience.
This young man's name is Zhang Erniu, is still an ordinary farmer hundreds of miles away from Jiankang, his parents died early, and his brother and sister-in-law live together, there are a total of ten acres of paddy fields at home, more than ten acres of mulberry fields, more than 20 acres of mountainous land, although it is hard every year, food and clothing are not a problem, when the year is good, you can eat big fish and meat, make a few new clothes, can live like this, croppers basically do not have to worry about it for a lifetime.
However, this situation was maintained until the second year of Zhide, (the third year of the opening of the Great Sui Emperor) changed, because the Great Sui Emperor was annoyed that the Emperor Chen replied to the letter rudely, the two countries were at war frequently, every year in the summer harvest or autumn harvest, the Sui State sent a large army to attack the south, and in order to resist the attack from the north, Zhang Erniu and his brother were requisitioned every year when the harvest was almost harvested, and when the Sui army retreated, except for his sister-in-law who could barely recover two or three percent at home, the rest of the crops had already rotted in the ground.
There is not much left after this point is collected and taxed, the first two years of the Zhang family can still support with their own family background, to the fourth year of Zhide, the Zhang family has lived by selling land, although his land is good land, but the labor is scarce, the field planted is not able to harvest when the time comes, can only be sold cheaply, to the first year of Zhenming, that is, last year, the sale was sold, Zhang's ten acres of paddy fields, more than ten acres of mulberry fields, more than 20 acres of mountainous land except for leaving two acres of paddy fields, three acres of mulberry fields, the rest are all gone.
These acres of land, if it is usual, the brother and sister-in-law are more than enough to serve, when they are busy, Zhang Erniu will definitely be conscripted, and they can't help at all, plus the brother and sister-in-law have added two more children, and they can no longer afford to have one more mouth, looking at the two nephews who are hungry every day, Zhang Erniu had to take the initiative to come out to find food, begging all the way to Jiankang, I thought that Jiankang was prosperous, and it was easy to find food, but I didn't expect to almost starve to death.
After listening to Zhang Erniu's narration, the three of them were silent for a while, although Xu Deyan had extraordinary knowledge, but it was the first time to contact Zhang Erniu such villagers, from Zhang Erniu's narrative, Xu Deyan got a shocking fact, Chen Guo like Zhang Erniu's family is definitely not one, but thousands, these years, Chen Guo has to deal with the Sui State twice a year large-scale attacks, at the beginning Chen Guo was very nervous, but each time the battle is at most a month, as short as half a month or a little more, the Sui State has died down, and it has been like this for several years, Chen Guo's actions towards the Sui Dynasty began to be inexplicable, and gradually Chen Guo was not surprised, as a regular practice, but I didn't expect the reason to be here, although the Sui army did not get too much advantage in the battlefield, but Chen Guo's national strength has been greatly consumed in the conscription again and again.
Han Shichan and Li Jing were a little embarrassed, they thought they had saved Zhang Erniu, but they didn't expect that it was their father and uncle who made Zhang Erniu fall into such a situation, and they were also personally involved in the two actions last year.
Fortunately, it didn't embarrass them for long, the store invited Di Langzhong to come, and after bandaging Zhang Erniu with good medicine, because Zhang Erniu's injury could not see water, Xu Deyan was enthusiastic, hired an ox cart to pull Zhang Erniu back to the Horse Mansion, and invited Han Shichan and Li Jing to go together, the two were to deal with Zhang Erniu's matter and parted ways with Xu Deyan, but they couldn't stand Xu Deyan's enthusiasm, so they had to agree to go to be a guest for a few days, and the two made up their minds, once something was wrong. Run away immediately.
Although Han Baohu said that he didn't care about the safety of Han Shichang and Li Jing, after a few days, he couldn't help but give an order to the secret spies in Jiangnan, once the two were found
and persuade them to come back at once. It's just that the secret spies of the Sui State will live in the Horse Mansion anyway, and across the Yangtze River, the news transmission is inconvenient, and it will last for more than ten days. Han Baohu couldn't get the slightest news of his son and nephew.
No news is good news. In the identities of Han Shichan and Li Jing. If Chen Guo found out or caught it, he would definitely make a big fuss, lest the Great Sui not know, Han Baohu had to let go of his worries about the two of them and prepare for the arrival of the marching marshal King Jin and His Royal Highness the prince of the supervising army.
The horses' hooves are flying, the wheels are rolling, and the road is dusty. A large army of thousands of men and horses rolled along the road, with flags in the middle, and two red dragon flags were even more eye-catching, the Great Zhou was still black, so the military flags were all black, and the Great Sui was still red, and the military flags were also changed to red, and the red dragon flags. It can only be used by the Prince level.
There are two Red Dragon Banners in one team. This shows that there were two princes in this team, one of which was embroidered with six big black characters "Marshal of the Southern March", and the other red flag was embroidered with the words "Southern Commandery".
For the selection of the coach for the destruction of Chen this time. Yang Jian can be said to have taken great pains to divide the commander into three, in order to highlight the status of the prince, but not to let the prince receive too much credit, and give the prince the identity of a supervisor.
In addition to the crown prince Yang Yong, the only person who can use these two red flags is Yang Guang, the king of Jin or Yang Jun, the king of Qin, although Yang Su is also a marching marshal, he is not a prince, so naturally he cannot use the red dragon flag.
The Yangtze River defense line is thousands of miles, and the Sui army can launch an attack everywhere, in fact, the three-way marching marshal is more flexible than a single marching marshal, and the ministers have no objections, the only thing that is surprising is that Yang Su is also one of the three-way marching marshals, which means that Yang Sudi's status is still above Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou, and He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, who have been preparing to destroy Chen for several years, which makes Han and He unconvinced.
However, Yang Su as the marshal of the third march, his task is to attack Nanchen from the mouth of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Han, He did not fight with each other, so as to avoid contradictions, the second road marching marshal Yang Jun of Qin, he will lead the army to be stationed in the Hankou area, control the dispatch of all the people in the middle reaches, and the first road marching marshal is Yang Guang, the king of Jin, Yang Guang not only controls Yangzhou, Luzhou and other people, but also includes Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Qingzhou Governor Yan Rong and other fierce generals, soldiers and the second and third roads combined, And the target is directly Jiankang, the capital of Chen State.
It is not difficult to see from the plan of this battle that the first road is the main force of the Sui army, so as a supervising army, after Yang Yong left Beijing, he came directly to the direction of Luzhou, and happened to meet Yang Guang who set off from Bingzhou on the way, and the two brothers naturally became a road.
When I came out of the capital, the air was still a little cool, the farther south, the weather slowly warmed up, it was still the middle of May, although the sun was not strong, but the movement was a little faster to make people drench. However, along the way, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful, which feasts the eyes of everyone who marches all the way, and Xue Daoheng is even more poetic, singing and harmonizing with Yang Guang, and almost every day he has to compose poems and chant right.
A fast horse galloped in front, and the knight grabbed the reins dozens of steps away from the army, and in the neighing of the war horse, the knight jumped off the horse and took a few steps forward: "Report, thirty miles ahead is Luzhou." ”
One of the officers waved his hand: "Okay, let's go down and rest." ”
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
When the horse went down, the officer's face couldn't help but show joy, turned the horse back, and went straight to the red dragon flag, shouting after dozens of steps: "His Royal Highness the Prince, only thirty miles to Luzhou." ”
Yang Yong laughed and said, "Why is Qu Aiqing so anxious, the palace and the King of Jin are here, could it be that before the prison army and the marching marshal arrived, the front-line soldiers could destroy Chen by themselves?" When you get to the front line, you will naturally have a place to fight. ”
Qu Tutong scratched his head embarrassedly: "His Highness is a prisoner, and he did not listen to His Highness's orders." ”
Yang Yong glared at Qu Tutong, and commanded loudly to the back: "Notice, this place is only thirty miles away from Luzhou, everyone speed up and camp in Luzhou tonight." ”
Yang Yong's words quickly spread, whether it was the East Palace guards or the people led by Yang Guang, everyone had already walked for more than a month, no matter how beautiful the scenery on the road was, it would make people feel tired, and when they heard that they would be able to reach their destination soon, they suddenly burst into cheers: "Long live!" Banzai! ”
Xue Daoheng rode his horse to Yang Yong's side, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness is very talented, Wechen has admired him for a long time, but these days I have not heard His Highness's poems, which makes Wechen's heart itch, and now he is about to reach the front, the swords and soldiers are everywhere, and there is no flaw, it is better for His Highness to write a poem today, and he can also solve a wish of Weichen." ”
"Yes, big brother, these days only Brother Wang and Mr. Xue are right to write poems, but the eldest brother has never participated, Brother Wang always feels regretful, it is better for the eldest brother to make a poem now, you look at the surrounding scenery, the soldiers of the Great Sui can enter the poem, why don't you let everyone open their eyes." Yang Guang also interjected beside him.
For this time he served as the marshal of the march, and Yang Yong served as the supervisor of the army, Yang Guang felt a little unhappy, if there was no supervising army, he as the marshal of the first march, after the defeat of the Chen State, the reward for meritorious deeds was naturally based on him, and now there is an additional supervising army, not only to reduce his credit, but also the prince in the army, will definitely make him shrink his hands, if those generals choose, I am afraid that they will listen to the prince's order than listen to his order.
Although at this time there may not be the idea of replacing Yang Yong, but Yang Guang has been competitive since he was a child, but martial arts and military merits can not be compared with the eldest brother, only poetry can be used, originally he thought that his poetry was far above the eldest brother, but he did not expect that with a Queqiao Immortal, the prince's literary style was recited all over the country at once, and the eldest brother did not study the poetry at all, if it was said that the literary talent was also above him, he didn't believe it when he killed Yang Guang, but when he saw this poem, Yang Guang had to admit that he made a hundred songs, and a thousand songs were not as good as one. Yang Guang couldn't help but suspect that this poem was not written by Yang Yong at all, and today he also wants to take the opportunity to rebuild his confidence in literary talent.
"Well, even so, then the main palace will make a song to see." Seeing that Yang Guang was so eager, Yang Yong naturally guessed his intentions, and it was better to just hit him hard.
"Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old, the sunrise river flowers are red, and the river is as green as blue in spring, can you remember Jiangnan?"
