Volume 4 Insight 55. The Northern Expedition
β»At the beginning of the 27th day of the month, Chen Caodian and Gu Kai ordered nearly 200 people to leave the mountain park and arrive at Qu'a at dusk the next day. So I am ready to come with my sister-in-law at the end of the year. At that time, the East Garden of Chen's mansion on the bank of the Qinhuai River should also be completed, and it can be moved in, after all, the female dependents came to Beijing and borrowed the Gu Mansion to live in the system; The letter to the father of Wei Rui 6 Na is to detail the conflict with 6 Yu when the land is broken, please 6 make Jun understand, and ask 6 Jun to advise the big 6 Shangshu, for the family portal, do not confront Huan Da Sima, and recently heard that 6 birds and Heavenly Master Dao Lu Mei have close contacts, Lu Lai is a disaster, and it is advisable to be vigilant and slow
Chen Caozhi's letter to 6 Na was written in the Spring and Autumn period and was written very tactfully. It will not make 6 Na feel embarrassed to be taught by his juniors. After writing it, he ordered Laide to hand over the letter to Chestnut, and Chestnut would find an opportunity to hand the letter to his sister Short hoe and hand it to 6 Weirui.
Get up early the next day, Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan, and Xie Daoyun will go their separate ways to Guxiao Xifu, Shen Jin's son Shi Chiqian wants to follow Chen Caozhi's left and right, this time only four servants will go to Xifu with Chen Caozhi, although Gu Kaizhi will be recruited to Xifu. But there is no need to rush to go at this time, and then enter after attending Xie Xuan's wedding
Prefecture.
Ran Sheng also had to go to Jiankang first, he still had eighty sergeants to stay in Jiankang, and he wanted to lead those sergeants back to Xifu, so Chen Caozhi ordered Laide to bring his letter to the third brother Chen Shang to Jiankang to see the third brother Chen Shang, and then come with Ran Sheng to the aunt,
When they broke up on Xiqi Road in Qu'a City, Chen Caozhi slowly rode his horse past the side of the 6's convoy, and the short hoe lifted the curtain, and 6 Weirui looked at Chen Caozhi from the car window, looking at each other. Smiling and nodding, Chen Caozhi turned his horse's head and headed south.
Xie Xuan was depressed for the past two days because of his sister's Xie Daoyun, left Qu'a County, and said to Xie Daoyun: "If it weren't for the urgent recruitment of the Duke of Huan County, otherwise we should go back to Wuyi Lane to meet our uncle and aunt before going to Xifu." β
Xie Daoyun said: "After meeting the Duke of Huan County, if there is nothing important, it is okay to return to Jiankang earlier, and Ah Ji still has to go to Yangzhou." β
Xie Xuan and the Yang's daughter on the river is the eighth day of the first month of March, there are three Yang's counties, namely Heshang, Taishan and Jingzhao, now except for Taishan is still under the control of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the rest have fallen into the hands of Qin and Murong Yan, the so-called Yang's on the river, now lives in Yangzhou. Xie Xuan will take a boat to Yangzhou in early March to marry the Yang girl, it is rumored that the Yang girl is as white as snow and is extraordinarily beautiful, but Xie Xuan has not seen it yet.
Xie Xuan looked at his sister Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi, and said, "I will go to Jingzhou after I get married, and I will not get together more with my brother and son in the future."
Xie Daoyun was silent.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of February. Chen Caoyi rushed to Gu and met Wang Tanzhi, the governor of Xifu, at the foot of Baimang Mountain, Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan, and Xie Daoyun dismounted and gave salutes, and asked Wang Changshi where he was going?
Wang Tanzhi frowned and said: "Queen Du was in Xianyang Hall at noon yesterday, and Da Sima ordered me to go to Taicheng to cry and mourn. He arched his hand and hurried away with a retinue of horses.
Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan looked at each other, this Sima royal family is really young, last June Emperor Sima did not die on the same day as Queen Jing, it was only half a year, the new queen Geng died again, Queen Geng out of Ying "Geng, is the daughter of the late Sikong Gengbing, the sister of Beizhong Lang General Lu Xi and Guangzhou Thorn Shi Gengmeng. He is only 21 years old this year, and he died young
Xie Xuan said in a low voice: "Huan Da Sima is quite dissatisfied with the emperor's appointment of Concubine Geng, I didn't expect Empress Geng to die so early, and I see if the emperor will be the same as Huan Da Sima in the matter of the queen!" β
Chen Caozhi's three people returned to the Guyu City Residence, Chen Cao's subordinate Zuo Lang found a nearby house for Shen Chiqian's master and servant to live, Xiaochan knew that Cao's Xiaolangjun was clean, so he ordered the servant to prepare water for bathing, and after the net was washed, Zuo Lang came to report. Wei Chang, the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, passed on the order of Huan Dasima and invited Chen to join the army to go to the general's mansion for a night banquet, and Xie Sima and Zhu joined the army to go together.
Xie Xuan is already Huan Huo's marching Sima and the leader of the Southern County, Qipin, Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun were promoted to the eighth rank to join the army, and they are no longer the ninth grade oak.
At the end of Shen Shi, Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan, and Xie Daoyun came to the General's Mansion, Huan Wen greeted him at the bottom of the stairs, his purple stone-like eyes swept towards the faces of the three of them, and said with a smile: "Xie Sima, Chen joined the army, and I wish to join the army. β
Chen Caozhi and the three of them hurriedly saluted Huan Wen, entered the hall and sat down, several banquets had been prepared, there was nothing else except the maid, it seemed that Huan Wen invited Chen Caozhi and the three of them today.
During the banquet, Huan Wen did not mention the funeral of Queen Geng's death, drinking and eating meat freely, Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi naturally pretended not to know, and the two reported to Huan Wen respectively about the land break of Wuxing County and the land break of Huiji County
Huan Wen saw that Xie Daoyun didn't drink much alcohol and didn't speak much, so he said: "This time the meeting will be decided, Chen Shencao is certainly a meritorious. But if there is no Zhu to join the army to assist, there can also be such good results, I heard that Zhu joined the army and went to Qian Tang to solve problems for Chen to join the army, but is there such a thing? β
Xie Daoyun briefly said that He instructed people to falsely accuse Qian Tang and Chen of the case of occupying land. Huan Wen praised:... The state military department should be meticulous in its affairs, so that the young people can take a Chen to join the army without a gap, and they should wish a cup to join the army, if there is no wish to join the army, how can Chen join the army concentrate on reviewing the decision! β
Chen Caozhi smiled and raised his glass to thank Daoyun. Xie Dao Yun Waner smiled, covered it with his big sleeves, and drank it all.
Huan Wen is very interested, iron Ruyi knocks on the case, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra between the two walls overflows like water, and there are dancers dancing and dancing, this is Shao music, it is said that it is made by Emperor Shun, it has been passed down for three thousand years, it is used in temples, banquets, and has always been royal music.
After three rounds of drinking, the maiko retreated, the music between the walls also stopped, Huan Wen Tie struck a wishful blow, and two armored samurai came up with a long knife, respectfully presenting it to Huan Wen.
This is a ring of big knife, the blade is more than three feet long, the handle is also three feet long, Huan Wen got up and the knife in his hand, the candlelight reflected, the blade was like snow, Huan Wen who held the big knife was very heroic of Chibi Cao Cao Heng Lance Fu poem, and said loudly: "This knife is refined by the new iron-quarrying stone of Jingzhou Muzhuo Mountain; The new bellows blast furnace forging, folding and refining, extremely sharp, I will hold this knife to destroy Qin, remove Murong, build immortal merits, famous for centuries. β
Chen Caozhi was quite happy, the sharp and durable weapons finally began to be forged, and the military strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be greatly enhanced, although it is not necessarily possible to succeed in the Northern Expedition with only spears and strong shields, but at least it has increased the probability of unifying the Central Plains.
Huan Wennian ordered the samurai to go down with a ring broadsword. Said to Xie Xuan: "I value the talent of the young degree, you entered Jingzhou for my brother Huan Huo's march Sima is my arrangement, Liangzhou Assassin Sima Xun has long been anti-will, you are the minister of Nanjun, Zhu Xu is the minister of Jiangxia, once Sima Xun rebelled, that is, together with Huan Huo, he raised troops to fight, I once said that Xie Oak will support the war festival in the year of forty. However, if you don't make military achievements, how can you get here! He also asked, "Will you be able to go to work in the middle of next month?" β
Xie Xuan said: "Yes." β
Huan Wen said with a smile: "The newlyweds are going to travel far away, don't complain that Huan is not close to people." Purple eyes flashed, looked at Chen Caozhi, and said: "Chen Oak is famous, the reputation is spread in the north, I have an important mission today, I don't know if Chen Oak can do it?" β
Chen Caozhi said: "The county prince has an order, and he dares not to obey it."
Huan Wen didn't say anything about sending Chen Cao. said: "I want to go on a northern expedition, but Xishu is troublesome, and there are also constraints in the court, it is necessary to remove this trouble, before you can wave the army to the north, this is Huan's third northern expedition, the first two expeditions to Qin, although there are gains, it has not been a great success, this third northern expedition must be a great achievement, please try to plan for me"
Chen Caozhi knew that Huan Wen was eager to usurp the throne and wanted the Northern Expedition to return to the dynasty to replace Sima as the emperor, but now it was not a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition. He said: "This matter is very important, I will go back and think about it carefully, and I will make suggestions to the county public another day." β
Huan Wen said: "Okay, I want Chen to join the army to take on the important mission for the time being, and then discuss it when Chen joins the army to present the Northern Expedition strategy." β
At the end of the day, Chen Caozhi and the three of them resigned from the general's mansion, and the money and silk that Huan Wen rewarded the three of them were also sent to the three of them in their apartments in Phoenix Mountain, each with 200,000 yuan and 300 horses of silk.
Xie Xuan did not immediately return to his apartment. went to Sister Xie Daoyun's residence to talk and asked, "What mission does Sister think Huan Shu will send her son to do again?" β
Xie Daoyun frowned and said, "It's hard to guess!" Huan Gong is about to go on the Northern Expedition, could it be that he wants to re-exercise the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal? β
Xie Xuan pondered: "Sister is expected to have a lot of things, and it is very likely that Duke Huan wants to let Zizhong send Fu Qin or Murong Yan, if this is the case, the future is unpredictable." β
Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong is planning for the family and marrying the daughters of the 6 clans, and he is willing to take risks and difficulties. β
Xie Xuanxin said: "Even if Zizhong becomes a black-headed man, he may not be able to marry a daughter of the 6th clan." Were there any three princes who were never married in ancient times? He thought again: "If my son wants to marry my sister again, I wonder if the third uncle and the fourth uncle will agree?" I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."
When the Xie sisters were talking to each other. Listening to the sound of the neighbor's recorder, Xie Daoyun's face was happy, and said: "Zizhong Ke Tingdi stayed in my aunt, and I haven't played the song for half a year. Then he walked to the backyard with Xie Xuan, and listened to the beautiful flute sound in the cold night of mid-spring, and sure enough, it was one song after another, Xie Daoyun was deeply intoxicated, and his feet were as cold as ice
At the beginning of the next morning, Huan Wen sent someone to summon Chen Caozhi into the general's mansion, in Huan Wen's view, although Xie Xuan is talented, but after all, he can only use it and can no longer become his confidant, and Chen Caozhi is different, Chen Caozhi, who was born in a poor family, will become his henchman, and the success of Geng Xu's earth break makes Huan Wen pay more attention to Chen Caozhi, he Huan Wen wants to be Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Chen Caozhi is his Zhang Zifang
Well, this is also a change of map, and he is about to go north, please support more book friends, and vote for a few. In the past two days, there has been a lot of noise in the book review area, and some readers have accused the author and Chen Caozhi of some unwarranted things, which really makes Xiaodao angry, Han Shi has written nearly a million words now, is Chen Caozhi really so hypocritical and a stallion?
