To be honest, although the little lady of the Du family was born healthy, she was not too ugly, mainly darker. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info used to seeing it, and I don't think so.

Moreover, she is gentle and gentle, and she can also talk to Yue Yun.

After the two got married, they were tired of being together all day long, and they had the posture of getting married first and then falling in love.

It was usually Du Xiaoniang who drove Yue Yun back to the barracks, saying that a boy was born in the world, and when he made a difference, how could he stay at home all day long.

Seeing this situation, Wang Shen nodded secretly, and also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Yue Yun was very satisfied with this marriage, and he didn't have to complain.

As for An Niang, she loves the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yue family even more preciously, and the two have endless words.

Next, it was time for Wang Shen to fulfill his promise.

After the New Year, the troops have been rested, and the number of men and horses has expanded to 5,000, which has greatly exceeded the number of men and horses of the first army, and the Sizhou battalion has officially changed its name to the Sizhou Army.

The backbone of these 5,000 military horses were all veterans of the Sizhou battalion, and basically all the soldiers who survived the Jiankang defense battle were promoted and became middle and low-ranking officers in the army.

Among the 5,000 troops, 2,000 were drawn from the Western Army Advance Department and more than 2,000 were displaced from Jiangbei. The criteria for recruitment are the same as before, and they must be honest and willing to endure hardships. As for Bing Youzi and second-rate people, no matter how good their physical condition is, no matter how rich their combat experience is, they don't want it.

Du Chong deliberately promoted Wang Shen and Du Shu, and turned a blind eye to the sudden expansion of the Sizhou army to such a scale, and also allocated half a year's military salary, which almost hollowed out the autumn endowment of the entire Jiangning City this year.

The Sizhou army is still divided into five battalions, of which 500 cavalry are organized into the Tabai Army, led by Wang Shen himself, with Tabai as the Chinese army, and he also leads the front army of 1,000 people; Yue Yun led the back army of 1,000 heavy armor soldiers; Lu Can led a thousand candidates for the front army, and concurrently served as the deputy commander of the army; Gu Lie led 1,500 enemy troops; The remaining 1,000 men and horses are named Shengjie, and the battalion commanders and deputy commanders who lead these two armies are all newcomers, the commander's surname is Wu Mingxian, and the deputy commander's name is Wu Tuo.

Both Wu and Wu were promoted by Wang Shen from the lowest level of the army, and Wu Xianxian was a detainees. But this man can read and write, his mind is flexible, and his speech and demeanor are also decent, and when he fought with the Khitans last time, Yelu Mawu was defeated after eating a flying locust stone from him. It can be said that his stone is the key to the complete defeat of the five divisions of Yeluma by the Sizhou army, and he has made great contributions, and this person is the key training object of Wang Shen.

As for Wu Tuo, he was simply an ordinary soldier before. During the defense of Jiankang, he was beheaded a lot, and he was a warrior.

It's a pity that this kid was seriously injured by a spear from the enemy in the chest, and he is still lying on the hospital bed, and it is estimated that it will take a month to get better.

If you want the soldiers to dare to fight and like to fight, you need a fair and smooth upward channel, and to promote these two people, Wang Shen is to stand up as a letter and tell his subordinates that as long as they make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, he will not hesitate to reward them.

The troops began training as early as half a month ago, and after the end of the New Year, with the leadership of veterans, their combat effectiveness should be restored.

***********************************************

There has been no snow for more than ten days, the sun is shining all day, and the cold of the previous year is unbearable.

It was getting dark, and the Yangtze River was flowing slowly.

A big boat stopped in the reeds by the Majiadu River, Wang Shen sat on the bow of the boat with a hat and a robe, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line hung straight into the water.

The sunset is red.

Behind him, Guo Ya was neatly playing with the small red clay stove with his hands and feet, and in the water bucket, a pot of rice wine was hot, exuding a mellow fragrance.

Beside him, another tall man knelt on the deck and touched the ground with his forehead: "Military envoy, it's my fault, it's my fault, please punish me." ”

"The world is impermanent, and paper can't contain fire after all." Wang Shen threw the fishing rod in his hand into the water: "I fished for an afternoon, but I didn't catch anything." I don't know if I'm fishing, or if I'm fishing in the big river. ”

He stood up and helped the tall man up: "Uncle Xu, please get up, I don't blame you for this." If you want to blame, blame me, An Niang wants to hate, I suffered it all by myself. ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

The man surnamed Xu also shed tears: "What Uncle Xu, how dare his subordinates?" Since Pengju was martyred in Hebei that year, I was like a rootless duckweed in the army, and I heard the brothers say that there was a warrior named Yue Yingxiang under the command of the general, and it was estimated that he was the son of the old man. But I don't want to...... But I don't want to ......."

Thinking of the group of Tang Yin brothers who died on the battlefield, he couldn't cry.

That's right, this person is Xu Qing, who joined the army with Yue Fei back then. In real history, Xu Qing is brave and martial. He served as the commander of the former army and was an important general in the Yuejia army.

As he just said, since Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others were martyred, he threw himself under Zong Ze and made a lot of military exploits. After the internal strife and division of the army of the Kaifeng Left-behind Division, he fled all the way south with the defeated army, and waited until the Jin army withdrew to Yangzhou, he crossed the river and returned to the Left-behind Division. Only then did I hear an old friend from the past say that they had been incorporated into General Yue Yingxiang, the back of the Sizhou Army, and asked him to go there together. said Brother Xu, you are also a general who has led soldiers, and you will definitely be reused if you go to Wang Daosi.

When Xu Qing heard this, he muttered in his heart, is this Yue Yingxiang the son of Pengju?

So, he ran to meet Wang Shen, and when he saw it, not only Yue Yun's sister and brother were there, but even Du Shu, who had met once before, was also there.

Seeing the deceased's children, Xu Qing couldn't contain the grief in his heart and immediately cried loudly.

There is Du Shu again, and now, the Yue family sisters and brothers will know about their father's death. At that moment, the family burst into tears.

Wang Shen stepped forward to persuade him, but was kicked out of the house by An Niang. Say that since you already knew about it, why didn't you say it, why didn't you say it?

According to the etiquette system of the ancients, the parents mourned and served filial piety for three years, and the two sisters and brothers plus Yue Yun's Hun family all changed into mourning clothes.

Wang Shen and An Niang's marriage can naturally only be put aside.

was blamed by her again, Wang Shen was depressed, so he took a boat to the Majiadu water to fish.

Xu Qing saw that he had made such a big mess as soon as he went to see Wang Shen, so he hurriedly followed over to make amends.

Seeing the guilt on his face, Wang Shen sighed: "General Xu, you can come to vote for me, you are a fellow villager in Tangyin, we are also a family, I am too late to rejoice, how can I blame you." My front army is lacking a battalion commander, but I don't know if you are willing to give in? ”

According to Xu Qing, he had previously served as a military commander under Si Zongze in Tokyo for a period of time, and he had experience in leading large armies to fight, and he was exactly the talent that Wang Shen urgently needed. Moreover, Xu Qing's combat skills are written into the book.

Xu Qing didn't expect that he would be able to lead a battalion of more than 1,000 people as soon as he entered the Sizhou army, and his body trembled with excitement: "Thank you general, thank you general." "Bow down again.

Wang Shen shook his head: "No, let's sit down and have a drink, I would like to ask you what the specific situation of this battle of more than 10,000 people is." ”

"Don't dare." Xu Qing sat down, had a few glasses of wine with Wang Shen, and talked in detail about the several decisive battles he participated in in Tokyo that year.

Wang Shen put away his messy mind and listened carefully, interrupting him from time to time, and turned around to ask a few questions. Then, he picked up the paper and put it in the booklet in his arms.

This was quite a long talk, but before he knew that the sky was already dark, Guo Ya lit a lantern and hung it on the bow of the boat.

I scalded another glass of wine and filled it for the two of them.

Wang Shen put the booklet back into his arms and said with a smile: "General Xu, our army is in short of a strong general like you who has experience in battles, it seems that it is the right thing to leave you behind this time." After getting down to business, let's just eat and drink. ”

Both of them stopped drinking, and they were both drunk.

Thinking of An Niang's blame for herself, and thinking of her father-in-law Yue Pengju, who was martyred and never met, Wang Shen felt sad. He took a deep breath, tried his best to cheer himself up, knocked a few wine bowls with his chopsticks, and chanted, "The white head is famous." The old mountain pine and bamboo are old, blocking the return journey. If you want to put your heart into Yaoqin, there are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken strings? ”

It is the second half of Yue Fei's "Little Heavy Mountain".

At this time, a few people suddenly walked on the shore, and a woman's voice sang softly: "Spring arrives in Changmen, the grass is green, and the red plums are broken and not evenly opened." The blue cloud cage grinds the jade into dust, leaves the dream, and breaks a spring. ”

is also "Little Heavy Mountain", but it is the first half.

Yue Fei's little heavy mountain writes all the boredom in his heart, depressed and pathetic, but it is a great feeling.

This woman's little heavy mountain sings about the small luck of being pregnant with people in spring and looking forward to the return of distant people.

One yin and one soft, and the small half of the words recited by Wang Shen are in strong contrast.

After singing, the voice said softly: "There is no one in the wilderness, the light boat is self-controlled, the river is fished, and the pleasure is good, can you get a sip of cold wine?" ”

"Who?" Xu Qing jumped up sharply and put his hand on the handle of the waist knife.

Wang Shen turned his head to look and saw a total of four people coming up from the riverbank, two men and two women.

The leader was a woman and an accompanying maid.

The woman was plain white, her head was covered with a sarong, and she couldn't tell her appearance or age, but judging by her speech and demeanor and dress, she was also a person of status.

The other two men were both in their forties and fifties, carrying a burden on their shoulders and a large knife at their waists, and they must have been the woman's old family.

It was already dark, and the woman took the initiative to make peace with Wang Shen, and her courage was not small.

Wang Shen waved his hand at Xu Qing, stood up, arched his hand slightly, and said loudly: "The lady wants to take a boat to Jiankang?" ”

The woman was slightly blessed: "Exactly." ”

Wang Shen: "A certain person is about to take a boat into the city, if the lady is not afraid that we are evildoers, you can get on the boat." ”

The woman laughed, straightened up, and said, "To be able to sing, 'White head is famous.'" The old mountain pine and bamboo are old, blocking the return journey. If you want to put your heart into Yaoqin, there are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken strings? How can he be a villain? ”

Wang Shen: "The blue cloud cage crushes the jade into dust, leaves the dream, breaks a spring, and the lady is also an elegant person." The wine in the pot is still warm, come up! ”

Lao Guo was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Master, I don't understand the origin of these people, so you have to be careful." ”

Wang Shen: "It's okay, Lao Guo, I'm drunk, you can socialize." ”

It was only after the woman and the others got on the boat and thanked Wang Shen that the three people on the boat could see her appearance clearly.

But I saw that this woman was about forty years old, and there were already a trace of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her skin was fair, her eyebrows were delicate, and she was heroic at first glance. There is no need to guess, it should be the nobles who fell from Bianliang in Tokyo to the south during the Jingkang Revolution.

Originally, Xu Qing and Lao Guo were still a little wary of her, but when they saw her appearance and bearing at the moment, they didn't dare to offend, so they hurriedly greeted her and sat down.

Wang Shen had something in his heart, so he asked the two to entertain the woman, and lay down to rest after going to the boat.
