Chapter 337: Arriving in Jianzhou

The examination is the only opportunity for the children of poor families to get rid of their fate in this era. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Compared with several dynasties in later generations, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was like a farce, although some talents were indeed selected, but most of them were still related to some high-ranking officials and eunuchs, or only those who were appreciated by them could be admitted.

Although he knew that this road was full of difficulties and dangers, the poor man stepped forward without hesitation.

For her husband's thoughts, the beautiful chivalrous woman knows very well, although he is extremely unwilling to see her husband compromised for herself, but she knows that he can't stop her husband's decision, only to use all relationships to pave the way for her husband, and she herself is busy day and night, finally, excessive pressure and potential overdraft, and the birth of a child, so that she injured her body early, and the once heroic heroine, can only slump on the bed, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.

At the same time, the poor man with his outstanding talent, finally the title of the gold list, when he took the notice distributed by the imperial court, happily returned home, waiting for him was a thin old woman who was not in human shape, the gray hair, the thin body, so that the poor man was completely stunned, he never expected that when he tried his best to achieve results, thinking that he could help his wife, waiting for himself was such a scene.

He was unwilling, he was angry, he was ....... is also helpless, except for complaining about the injustice of God, he is useless, just like that, the chivalrous woman who has long run out of oil and lamps died in his arms not long after seeing the poor man.

Holding his wife who was separated from his yin and yang, he was disheartened, how much he wanted to go to Huangquan with her, but when he saw the innocent and curious eyes of his two daughters, he still survived strongly, and he decided at that time that he must fulfill his wife's unfulfilled wish, carry forward the Heavenly Taoism, and at the same time, raise his own children.

After listening to this story, Su Qiao'er was already lying in Su Mo's arms and crying silently. The original suspicion of Su Mo in her heart disappeared completely at this time, replaced by a deep sense of guilt, she could never have imagined that her parents still had such a past.

"Ah..... Grandpa, in this way, A-Niang is the former Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dao Sect, you just said that A-Niang gave birth to two children back then, but why has the child never seen other brothers and sisters, is he ......" Su Qiao'er asked.

Hearing Su Qiao'er's question, Su Mo shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Silly boy, don't worry, your sister is doing well, you also know, your A-Niang is the former Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Holy Lord is the same as the Chen family, so only the bloodline of the Chen family can inherit the position of the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Dao Sect, at the beginning, after your A-Niang died, the Chen family only had two of you, sisters, therefore, under the recommendation of the elders and hall masters of the Heavenly Dao Sect, they chose your sister as the successor of the Holy Lord, as for you, In order to prevent your sisters from being implicated in the Heavenly Dao Sect, I deliberately did not let you come into contact with the affairs of the Heavenly Dao Sect, in order to protect you, and also to be able to leave a bloodline for your mother and me after the accident of the Heavenly Dao Sect. ”

"That'..... That.... Can the child see his sister, for so many years, the child has always thought that Grandpa is the only relative in the world, but he didn't expect that there is a real sister, the child really wants to see her right away, see what she looks like. Su Qiaoer said excitedly.

"Your sister is usually busy with official business, after all, the Heavenly Daoist Sect is extremely huge, and many things have to wait for her to deal with, if there is a chance in the future, Grandpa is taking you to see her." Su Mo's face was strange, but he said in a flat tone.

"Oh"

Su Qiaoer was a little dissatisfied with Su Mo's perfunctory answer, but she could only agree.

"Grandpa, during this time, you often frowned, is it that something happened to the Heavenly Dao Sect, or something happened to Sister A." I don't know what came to mind, Su Qiao'er suddenly asked.

"You"

Su Mo just wanted Su Qiao'er to stop asking, but he thought that he had already told her everything just now, and it didn't make sense to hide it from her, so he nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed something wrong in the sect recently......

Immediately, Su Mo told Su Qiao'er in detail about the current situation in the Heavenly Dao Sect.

After listening to Su Mo's explanation, Su Qiao'er had a thorough understanding of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but after understanding, she was even more worried in her heart, he couldn't have imagined that the Heavenly Dao Sect, which seemed to be huge, was so chaotic inside, and Ding Mian, the hall master of the Qinglong Hall, actually tried his best to assassinate his own sister, even with the support of his grandfather, the elder sister was also extremely difficult.

"Grandpa, what do you mean is that during this time, the expenses of Qinglong Hall are very huge, and at the same time, the number of disciples who have joined the sect has also increased a lot, and most of them are those victims who went south to eat, and now, that Ding Mian actually asked you to allocate funds to him, so as to build weapons and armor, isn't he clearly trying to rebel, he is plunging the entire Heavenly Dao Sect into a fire pit, when the time comes, not only will he not have a good end, but also Sister Ah and you will not have a good end."

"Hey, how can Grandpa not understand the truth, but now in the sect, Na Ding Mian covers the sky with one hand, not only many elders have taken refuge in him, but even the master of the White Tiger Hall, who controls the military power, echoes with him, it can be said that if it weren't for the finances in the sect in Grandpa's hands, I'm afraid he would have abolished the position of your sister Holy Lord and monopolized the Holy Sect, so these days, Grandpa has been thinking about what to do about this matter, and whether this money should be allocated to him." Su Mo sighed.

.................................

"Woo woo"

With the sound of a low horn, the originally silent place outside Jianzhou City was full of soldiers in armor.

In 683 AD, on the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Yongchun of the Tang Dynasty, after more than ten days of difficult marching, Duan Jian led 6,000 Tang soldiers and finally brought the city of Jianzhou.

Of course, among these 6,000 people, except for the 1,000 soldiers of Zhichong Mansion led by Chen Guotai, who are the real elite, the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers are mostly soldiers recruited by Duan Jian all the way and recruited in the middle of the road, which is also one of the rights of Duan Jian, the governor of Lingnan.

Although these more than 5,000 soldiers are not as elite as the 1,000 Zhichong Mansion soldiers, they are much stronger than most of the rabble, it is not an exaggeration to say that even if these government soldiers are pulled to the border to fight with people of different races, they will not necessarily lose, with the foundation of these 6,000 soldiers, Duan Jian's obviously insufficient momentum finally leaked out at this time, and even after these days of marching, he also has a bit of the majesty of the army, which has always followed him, Su Xiu'er, who pretended to be a pro-soldier, could see it from time to time when he looked at him in a daze.

"Brother Chen, you see how we should attack this Jianzhou City." After arriving outside Jianzhou City and letting the army set up camp, Duan Jian did not rest, but took Chen Guotai and several captains of the government soldiers to the city of Jianzhou, and discussed the attack strategy while exploring the terrain.

Hearing Duan Jian's inquiry, Chen Guotai hadn't spoken yet, and Feng Pu, the captain of the Taizhou Mansion soldiers next to him, shouted, "What is there to say, the walls of this Jianzhou city are low, there are no fortifications outside the city, and the top of the city looks quite messy, the rebels in this city are obviously a group of rabble, and they are not vulnerable at all. ”

Feng Pu's words made several other captains also nod their heads, and even two of them couldn't help but open their mouths to lead people to attack first tomorrow.

Hearing Feng Pu's words, looking at the behavior of several other captains, Duan Jian had a little doubt on his face, although Duan Jian had never led troops to fight, but he was also well-informed, there were many stories of various battles in history, and he still had some understanding of war.

That is, no matter what kind of battle, except for the kind of battle where the praying mantis blocks the car, the rest of the battles, most of the competition is not about wit and trickery, although this wit and trick can indeed be useful, but it is not the main reason, the main reason is actually the competition between the two warring sides which side has the least mistakes, which side will have a wider chance of winning.

Just like the many battles in history where fewer won more, it is not that the losing side is not able to fight hard, but that their boss has made too many mistakes, so that the original low-hanging fruit victory has turned into defeat, and even lost their own country and their own lives because of it.

Therefore, although this time he was only attacking a small Jianzhou City, Duan Jian was cautious from the beginning and did not make any risky actions, not that he was too cautious, but only in this way could he make himself invincible, as long as he was undefeated, then only his own enemy would fail in the end.

Probably seeing the look on Duan Jian's face, Chen Guotai opened his mouth and said, "Dudu, in fact, what Feng Pu said is not unreasonable, from the current point of view, it is the best choice for us to attack directly tomorrow, but we can't be sure, this is not the result of the enemy's deliberate arrangement, in case the enemy has a deliberate action, if it suddenly breaks out tomorrow, I am afraid that the soldiers who will attack the city tomorrow will be damaged, it is better to station down first, on the one hand, to find out the movement of the enemy in the city, and on the other hand, send people into the city to send a letter of surrender, At the same time, we will find out the details of the enemy, and if we come, whether it is war or peace, we will have enough confidence. ”

"Okay, what Brother Chen said is worthy of Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, so do it, while besieging Jianzhou City, while sending people to find out the news of the enemy, if they are interested, it is best to surrender, in case they are not interested, hum ......"

Although Duan Jian's words were not explicitly stated, everyone understood the meaning of his words, and there was no forgiveness for killing.

It's not that Duan Jian is too murderous, but living in this era, that is a time of cannibalism, since Duan Jian has become a member of the ruling class in this era, he has to protect this class, as for those enemies who want to destroy this class, only to completely kill them is the most correct way, and at the same time, he can also use this incident to fight those who are hostile to him, and it is also a very ideal effect to kill chickens and monkeys.

After having countermeasures, Duan Jian and the others returned to the camp, the camp was three miles away from Jianzhou City, so by the time Duan Jian and the others returned, the camp had almost been built, especially Duan Jian's Chinese army tent, which was the first place to be built.

Walking into the big tent, Duan Jian felt a burst of warm air rushing to his face, and immediately hummed comfortably, walked to the back of the desk, and lay down on the soft couch all of a sudden.

"Poof"

Hearing this laughter, Duan Jian didn't even need to open his eyes, he knew that there would be no one else who appeared here at this time, and who dared to laugh so recklessly, except for Su Xiu'er, who came after him.

"Su Niangzi, I don't know where so-and-so is ugly, how funny it is to make the lady funny, it is better for the lady to say it, so that so-and-so is also happy." Duan Jian opened his eyes, lay on his side on the soft collapse, and said lightly.

Being watched by Duan Jian's hot eyes, although Su Xiu'er was wearing bloated soldier clothes, her face still couldn't help but blush, of course, this was just the surface, but she was still quite proud in her heart.

Shaking her waist and walking slowly, Su Xiu'er walked next to Duan Jian, knelt down, took off Duan Jian's big clothes and armor and other things one by one, and after tidying up, she slowly put them aside.

Immediately, I saw her reach out her hands, gently stroke Duan Jian's forehead, her hands gently forced, kneaded on several acupuncture points on Duan Jian's head, and while kneading, she chuckled and said, "Hehehe, how dare the slave family laugh at you, the general, the slave family just thought of an interesting thing, although you are a scholar, these days in front of outsiders, but you also have a bit of heroic ambition, how come you come to the slave family, but you are such a lazy bear, if this look is seen by the soldiers under your command, I'm afraid their morale will plummet! ”

From the beginning of walking out of Hangzhou City, Su Xiu'er seemed to have abandoned all her past identities, and really served Duan Jian's diet and daily life seriously like a little girl, so after more than ten days, Duan Jian slowly became familiar with all this, and even sometimes without Su Xiu'er by his side, he was still a little uncomfortable.

Especially Su Xiu'er's exquisite massage methods, every time Duan Jian was tired, after being so gently soothed by her little hand for a while, Duan Jian would feel that the fatigue was completely gone, and her whole body was full of energy, especially her mind was very clear.

Duan Jian, who was massaged by Su Xiu'er and hummed comfortably, was not idle in his mouth, and said, "It's just that I'm worried that the morale of the soldiers will plummet, so I will be so tired, if you say it, it will be a leak of military secrets, but you will be dealt with by military law, aren't you afraid." ”

Although Duan Jian's words were stern, the weird smile and ridiculous tone did not make Su Xiu'er afraid at all, but made Su Xiu'er feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
