Chapter 33: Gathering Tigers in the West of the Banner (5)

[I'm sorry everyone, I'm late to come back]

In the early morning, Hangang was awakened from his sleep by the sound of the morning bell that spread throughout the county.

The sound of crows outside the window. The east-facing window, the freshly pasted window paper, also shone with a bright red light.

Opening his heavy eyelids, Han Gang still had a faint pain in his head, and the sequelae of drunkenness made him just want to sleep for a while. For Han Gang, who has always been energetic, such a situation is really rare.

At yesterday's reception banquet, he drank a little too much, but he didn't expect to be so drunk. Han Gang tried his best to recall yesterday's banquet, hoping that he had not lost his honor at the banquet.

Gao Zunyu and Wang Zhongzheng and their entourage arrived the day before yesterday. The reinforcements of Qinfeng and Jingyuan also arrived in Tongyuan one after another. The Jingyuan army was eventually led by Yao Ji, and Qin Feng's army was led by Liu Changzuo, who had been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Emperor. To Han Gang's surprise, Li Xin also brought a cavalry commander over. Although there is no name for Xuanfeng, this is also the most elite team around Zhang Shouyue, the deputy head of Qin Feng's soldiers and horses.

Yesterday, with the arrival of the last support army in Tongyuan, Cai Yanqing, the transfer envoy of Qin Feng Road, also arrived. This is quite surprising. Although according to the regulations issued by the imperial court, all transport envoys must have half a year to inspect the military states under their jurisdiction, but Cai Yanqing came to Tongyuan before the war unexpectedly. Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu didn't expect the big boss of Cao Si to come, and they only felt caught off guard for a while.

With Cai Yanqing, at the reception banquet that was ready for Lu, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu became escorts. However, Cai Yanqing is not the kind of person who is self-exalted on the cliff, and he has no self-sustaining identity, Han Gang vaguely remembers that at the banquet, Cai Yanqing also drank a few glasses with himself, and said that he and Han Gang are in the township - Han Gang's ancestral home is Mizhou Jiaoxi, and Cai Yanqing is from Laizhou, which is indeed very close. All the way to the transfer envoy, he can talk to people without caring about his status and humility, but he is much more cordial than Cai Xi, the transfer judge who came casually beside him.

In this war, Han Gang did not need to go into battle, but was responsible for logistics and transshipment. But if you really have to think about it, the logistics work is much more troublesome than going into battle. But in the current sequence of officials of the Tongyuan Army and the Marginal Pacification Division, only Han Gang's status and identity can sit in this position safely. and his ability, which reassures everyone. Wang Shao's nomination of Han Gang was recognized by everyone without a word. Cai Yanqing attaches great importance to Han Gang, firstly because of Han Gang's great reputation, but also because of his position.

It's just that at the banquet, Cai Yanqing's official authority is still too heavy, which makes the atmosphere of the banquet stable and even stiff. It wasn't until Cai Yanqing, Wang Shao, and Gao Zunyu withdrew in advance and ordered Miao Zhu to preside over the banquet that the atmosphere in the venue became lively.

The next memory had become blurry, and Han Gang couldn't recall what had happened after the worst incident. In the past, he didn't drink much, but he didn't drink much and didn't exercise for a long time, so he didn't expect that this amount of alcohol would gradually regress.

Seeing the red light outside the window gradually fading, knowing that it was not too early, Han Gang wanted to sit up, but he didn't struggle for a while. Looking left and right, Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin, with their fancy faces, are sharing the bed with their own side by side. Two soft delicate bodies were close to his body, and the breathing sound in his ears was shallow and thin, as if he was sleeping in the spring of Begonia.

Early in the morning, it is the time when the yang energy is abundant. Zhou Nanfeng's tall twin peaks hugged his arms, while Yan Suxin's slender and straight legs were wrapped around his legs. Han Gang had a headache, and his mouth was dry. I just saw that there were a few tears on their faces, but I didn't know it was good.

Lifting the futon little by little, there were many traces of finger kneading and lip and tooth biting on the crystal white skin of the two women exposed to the air. Especially the twin peaks and neck, a touch of bright and dazzling bruises, made Han Gang feel that he had borrowed wine last night to commit murder, and what he did was a little too much.

Han Gang took pity on the injuries of the two girls with his hands, only to see that they were frowning in their sleep, and the unbearable appearance of pain made Han Gang unbearable in his heart and didn't want to disturb them. Gently pulled out of the entanglement of limbs and got out of bed lightly.

"Third brother, are you up?" Hearing that there was finally movement in the house, Han Yunniang knocked on the door and asked outside.

"Get up." Han Gang replied softly. Looking back, on the bed behind them, the two women were still asleep.

The door was pushed open, and Han Yunniang carried the basin and entered the room. In a blink of an eye, she saw the style of the two women on the bed, and her little face suddenly turned red, she didn't dare to look at it more, so she was busy helping Han Gang freshen up and change clothes.

Han Gang came back drunk last night, so he dragged Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin into the house. Han Yunniang has seen it all, but as she gets older, she has lost a lot of the old childish jealousy, but has become more stable. In addition, Han Gang has always been very affectionate to her, and she has never felt left out because of Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin, and her mind has settled down a lot. Now Han Yunniang has a good relationship with Mowen, who is about the same age, and Zhao'er, and the three little girls.

Han Gang looked at the sky through the open door, and there was no time to exercise. Under Han Yunniang's service, after hurriedly freshening up, she quickly changed into clean clothes. Miao Zhi and Wang Sunchen, who are the vanguard today, will lead 2,000 men and horses to set off later today - with Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu's ideas, the attack on Wusheng Army is still mainly based on their own family - and then, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the Chinese army and the rear army will also be drawn in batches.

What was left to Han Gang was the task of transporting grain and military supplies for more than 9,400 soldiers and more than 2,600 war horses. At the same time, there were more than 3,000 people and 2,000 cattle to be managed. After the Wusheng army was captured, the city was increased, the fort was built, and a large number of people had to be organized. Money, food and other things have been planned in advance, and there is no shortage of them. But there can be no mess in the middle, and there is no room for waste and loss.

After three years of continuous wars in Xining, the land of Hehuang, which has been quiet for nearly a year, is boiling again from today. Han Gang must also rush to the yamen as soon as possible.

Helping to tie the belt, Han Yunniang picked up her feet again and sorted out Han Gang's placket. The look is focused and focused. In the past year, the little girl has not grown any longer, and her body is a little slender, but her appearance has become more and more bright. With slightly deep eye sockets, a straight nose bridge, and a hint of exotic complexion, he is not inferior to Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin.

Since people are at home, it is indispensable to save their parents in the morning and dusk. After changing his clothes, Han Gang took Yun Niang to the main courtyard to meet his parents, and called Mowen to take care of Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin in the room.

When he arrived, Han Qianliu and Han Ah Li had already gotten up. Han Qianliu was wearing a cyan official uniform, with a straight waist and back, sitting upright, very official, and he no longer had the feeling of being out of tune at first. And although Han Ah Li doesn't have too many decorations, he also wears the style of an official eunuch.

In July, Tongyuan Tuntian enjoyed a bumper harvest. The newly opened more than 1,000 hectares of fertile land have a total harvest of nearly 200,000 stones, far exceeding the initial estimates. Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu were both rewarded, and Han Qianliu, who instructed in agricultural affairs, also received the favor of the Son of Heaven, changed to Han Qianyi's tuba, and became an official.

Today, as a military judge, Han Gang ranks fourth in the Tongyuan military office, second only to Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu and Miao Zhu. But once the seats are arranged, Han Qianliu has to be in front of Han Gang - there is no reason for Lao Tzu to sit under his son, which is not in line with filial piety. Therefore, when the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held last month, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu sat at the top, the first one on the right sat Miao Zhu, and the chief on the left was not Han Gang, but Han Qianliu, who was smiling all the time with his beard.

Han Gang asked his parents to say goodbye. Seeing that his son only brought Yun Niang over, Han Ah Li asked, "Why don't you see Nan Niang and Su Xin?" ”

According to the rules of the world, if a bride does not get up in the morning to serve her aunt, she will not know the etiquette and will be punished. On the concubine, the situation is also average. If it is in normal times, Zhou Nan and Yan Suxin are all following the rules, and serving the elders are cautious, lest they be negligent.

It's just that today's situation is special, and Han Gang accompanies him with a smiling face: "Isn't it enough to have children and Yun Niang to serve their parents?" ”

Han Gang covered them up, and Han Ah Li didn't ask much. She wished that her son would use more snacks on Zhou Yan's second daughter and bring her a grandson as soon as possible.

There are also many more servants in the family, and in the kitchen, there is no need for Yan Suxin to do it himself. Some of these people are former neighbors who can't survive and come to join them. Some of them were soldiers who had been rescued by Han Gang, who were either old or frail and were no longer suitable to stay in the army, so they joined Han Gang's men. There are also a few who received a letter of recommendation from an official family who was good friends with Han Gang, and were recommended to the door - just like Qian Mingliang and his wife recommended by Zhang Dan.

Now there are about 20 subordinates in the Han family, all of whom are loyal and obedient. It's not that there are no traitors and treacherous people who came to join the Han family. This is a situation that even the families of the outbreak are difficult to avoid. In the official office, Han Gang can often hear stories of servants bullying the master and ruining the family's reputation. When the outside world saw the expansion of the lintel of the Han family, many people wanted to see the joke. But with Han Ah Li presiding over the housework, driving away those who drove away, and punishing the criminals, he was not merciful at all, and soon managed the rapidly expanding portal in an orderly manner. When this matter spread outside, some people laughed and said that most of Han Gang's ability to govern affairs was learned from his mother.

After eating in a hurry, Han Gang and Han Qianliu rushed to the yamen together.

Today's sky doesn't look good, there is still the sun in the early morning, and after only half an hour, the sky is overcast. The lead-colored sky is a little unsettling. Just when he was about to arrive at the yamen, a little coldness fell softly on his face. Han Gang raised his head, and tiny snowdrops fell from the gray clouds, the first snow of the winter.

"Luckily it wasn't raining." Han Gang muttered to himself in a low voice.
