Chapter 651: Oath (2)
Zhao Ziliang returned home tired, Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward to massage him while seeing, and asked, "Husband, I heard that something happened to the imperial court?" ”
Zhao Ziliang sat on the chair and let the two ladies beat their shoulders and backs, closed their eyes and said: "Well, Fan Yang Jiedu envoy and Lulong Jiedu envoy, Hedong Jiedu envoy An Lushan rebelled, and the imperial court came to the holy decree to let me lead the army back to Chang'an to quell the rebellion!" ”
Chen Qingying asked, "How long has it been?" ”
"The Divine Decree arrived more than a month ago!"
Chen Qingying blamed: "Why did you only tell us now?" ”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and patted the hands of the two ladies: "I don't tell you because I'm afraid that you will be worried, since you married me, you haven't had a stable life, and you are worried all day long, I'm sorry for you, how can I still let you worry about me?" ”
Nie Sanniang made a straight face: "Hmph, if you don't tell us, we will be even more worried if we know it!" ”
After being silent for a while, Nie Sanniang asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "It will take at least about a month to gather soldiers and horses, prepare grain, grass and baggage, and other affairs, and it is tentatively scheduled for today next month. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info don't worry, I will arrange the military and political affairs here, and the interior of Beiting has been completely stabilized, even if there are some clowns who jump off the beam and make trouble, they can't make big waves! The biggest threat from the outside, the Great Food Country, is now confronting the troops of the Flat Kingdom in the east, taking care of themselves, and having no energy to deal with us, at least for ten years, Beiting will have no internal and external troubles! This time I am ready to lead 30,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 tribal troops to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, although the rebels in An Lushan are also elite men, but compared with our army, it is still a little worse, whether it is the quality of soldiers and horses or ordnance and equipment can not be compared with our army, they can only hit the hinterland of the Central Plains so quickly, but also because the hinterland of the Central Plains has not been fought for many years, the defenders are abandoned and drilled, and the land east of Hebei is his jurisdiction, so his progress will be so fast! Just an An Lushan is not in my eyes! ”
"Hmph, just blow it! I heard that An Lushan has 150,000 elite soldiers, known as 200,000, plus he swept Hebei and Henan, and gathered a lot of troops and generals, and now the current army is afraid that there are not 300,000 or 400,000 horses, what can you do with these 30,000 or 40,000 people? Nie Sanniang pursed her lips disdainfully after speaking.
Zhao Ziliang pointed at Nie Sanniang and shook his head: "Hey, what do you know about a girl?" Do you know about war? The imperial court is not only my way of soldiers and horses, but also Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang and other military horses, although An Lushan is numerous, but if he only guards Hebei and is only attacked by the west and south, now he occupies Hebei and Henan, and is attacked on three sides, do you think his life is better? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Forget it, what are you talking about with a woman?" You can stay at home in peace, and I will come back when I succeed in quelling the rebellion!" ”
Chen Qingying said: "We are not worried that you will not be able to defeat An Lushan, but we are worried that you will be suspicious of the court again, and you will be framed by those traitorous ministers. ”
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, his face turned cold, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Ziliang, will never be slaughtered again, if someone wants to deal with me, it depends on whether he has that pair of catties!" ”
The husband and wife were talking, and two tall and sturdy teenagers strode in in armor, which turned out to be two brothers, Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting.
"Father!" The two brothers saluted respectfully.
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "You are not in the barracks, why did you come back suddenly?" ”
Zhao Lei said: "We heard that my father was going to lead troops to the capital to quell the rebellion, so we asked the official to come back with leave and wanted to ask my father to take us with us!" ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "No, you fart a little older kid still want to go into battle to kill the enemy?" I'll talk about it when you grow up! ”
Zhao Lei hurriedly said: "Father, we have grown up, how many people in the army are the opponents of our brothers now?" Pull it out and try it? ”
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and said, "What? Do you think you're invincible? What can you do? Can you beat a hundred, kill a thousand, and defeat 10,000? The general's personal force in marching combat can only be used as an auxiliary, and if you want to become an enemy of 10,000, 100,000 or even a million people, you need to rely on your brain! Got it? The more you want to go, the more I can't let you go, you have been too impatient since you were a child, and you have never calmed down to think about problems with your brain! You don't have to go this time, Zhao Ting will go with me! You stay and read more, learn the skills of marching and fighting with other generals, and accompany your eldest mother and second mother by the way! ”
Zhao Lei was dissatisfied: "Why can the second brother go to war with you, why can't I go?"
Zhao Ziliang got up and walked up to Zhao Lei and patted him on the shoulder: "Didn't I just say that your ears hit mosquitoes?" Besides, if you all go with me, what will happen if there is no man in the family? You just said that you have grown up, so should you take on the responsibility of a man? As a father, you have to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the family can only be handed over to you to take care of, do you understand what it means to be a father? ”
After hearing these words, Zhao Lei's violent temper quickly disappeared, and he nodded and said, "Well, I know, father!" ”
Zhao Ziliang patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Okay!" Zhao Hu will stay to deal with the military affairs of Beiting, if there is anything you can't solve, go to him, although you are cousins, but there is no difference between you and your own brothers, I and your uncle only have two brothers, our team is scarce, you brothers must be friendly and united, work together, understand? ”
"Yes, Father!"
Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Ting, who was standing next to him: "You go to the uncle's house with me, we will go back to the Central Plains after a while, go to the uncle's house to sit down, say goodbye!" ”
Zhao Ting promised: "No! ”
The father and son rode horses and some personal guards to Zhao Shan's house, Zhao Hu rushed back from the Moxi Army today to discuss matters, and is now at home in the city.
Zhao Shan's father and son heard that Zhao Ziliang's father and son were coming, and hurriedly went to the door to greet them, although the two were brothers, but Zhao Ziliang was a feudal official of the imperial court after all, and the social status and identity of the two sides were very different.
"Oh, the second and third brothers are here, I haven't seen you two brothers for a long time, look, you have grown taller and stronger again, and they have grown stronger than your eldest brothers!" Zhao Shan was very happy to see Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting, and he was better to these two brothers than his own son Zhao Hu.
Zhao Lei and Zhao Hu bowed to Zhao Shan and said, "Meet the uncle!" ”
Zhao Shan patted the shoulders of the two brothers again and again and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, come to Uncle here as if it were your own family, don't be restrained!" ”
Zhao Hu also said to Zhao Ziliang: "I've seen the second uncle!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Boss, you take the second and third children to play, and they will go on the expedition after a while, this time I will come here to sit and talk to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I don't know how long it will take to come back next time."
Zhao Hu agreed: "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he said to Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting: "Second and third, follow me, I'll see how your martial arts are practiced!" ”
The two brothers also like to learn from Zhao Hu, after all, Zhao Hu has fought a lot of battles over the years, and has killed many people, and the experience of marching and killing the enemy on the battlefield is not comparable to ordinary people, the two brothers happily agreed: "No! ”
Zhao Shan also immediately instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and prepare a banquet, and send another person to the second master's mansion to invite the two ladies to come, and our family will have a reunion dinner today!" ”
The people immediately began to get busy, and Zhao Hu's mansion soon became very lively, and this situation will only appear during the New Year's holiday.
Zhao Hu's son Zhao Bei is still the name given by Zhao Ziliang, this little guy is already five or six years old, and he was led by Ge Shu Luoyan to come over to greet him, Zhao Ziliang asked with a smile: "What is your name?" ”
"Zhao Bei"
"Do you know me, then?"
"Acquaintance, you are the second grandfather!"
"Good, good!" Zhao Ziliang was very happy, picked him up and put him on his lap to tease, and the family talked happily.
At dinner, all the men, women and children of the family were on the table, today is an unusual day, Zhao Ziliang specially allowed Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting to drink some wine, the two brothers and Zhao Hu, the boss, drank happily.
Zhao Shan and Zhao Ziliang touched a glass and took a sip of wine and sighed: "I think our Zhao family was originally just a flat-headed common man of the peasant hunters, if it wasn't for the second brother who used his life to kill a famous and wealthy person, and has the kindness of the court and today's son, how could our Zhao family be where we are today?" Second brother, the Son of Heaven and the royal family are not thin on our Zhao family, if the Son and the court are in trouble today, we should go to protect it, but there are no eyes on the battle array, and there are many auspicious ones! It's better to let Zhao Hu follow you, your uncle and nephew also have a response, as the saying goes, 'fight brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers', brother I don't have this ability, but Huzi is different, he is trained by you, although you are uncles and nephews, you are really the same father and son, the hearts of the people in this world are getting worse and worse, and the critical moment is still the father and son brothers can be relied on! ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded in recognition of what his brother said, and said: "Originally, I also wanted Huzi to go with me, but I still don't feel at ease here, Beiting is here I have worked hard for many years to manage today's situation, I don't want anything to happen here after I lead the troops away!" Don't hide it from the eldest brother, in order to run the North Garden, I used some means, many of the people who opposed me back then were liquidated, but there are still some people because the plot is relatively light, so I didn't continue to investigate, but it is difficult to ensure that these people do not have resentment in their hearts, and when they leave Huzi here, in order to deter all parties, tell everyone that although Zhao Ziliang is not in the North Court, his control over the North Court will still not be relaxed, and some people want to jump out to make trouble, so we have to see if they have the ability and guts! ”
Zhao Shan shook his head, "Hey, the affairs of the government, I don't understand the land farmer!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Hu again: "No matter what happens, anything can be lost, but the military power cannot be lost, whoever wants to seize the military power is your enemy!" The place can be chaotic, the government can be chaotic, but the army can't be chaotic! The generals who stayed in various places are basically old brothers who follow me, they can be trusted, once something happens, they will stand up and support you, and they must not be soft when it is time to act! This time I will take Ting'er to go, Lei'er will stay and help you, you two brothers will take care of the house, and the two aunts and younger brothers and sisters will rely on you! ”
Zhao Hu immediately said: "Second uncle, don't worry, even if I have something, I will never let the two aunts and younger brothers and sisters have anything to do!" (To be continued.) )
