"Report, my lords, somehow, the guards of the city and the people in the city learned that your lords refused to ask for help from the Xiaoguo army, and now the crowd is excited, saying that they want to ...... ...... want to " Outside the lobby, the captain of the Captain He Zhang's personal guard said hesitantly.

"Say it! What's going on? He Zhang shouted.

"It is said that he wants to take down all the lords, do the affairs of the mansions for the lords, ask for help from the Xiaoguo army, and drive the whole city from all ages, and drive away the Yan army." The soldier said urgently.

He Zhang trembled, and his body couldn't help but weaken. Su Hu and the rest of the officials also looked at each other. If this thing is not good, there will be a mutiny......

"Go...... Immediately announce to the guards of the city and the people in the city that Lord Du Wei has agreed, and he can ask for help from the Xiaoguo Army! One said urgently.

"Right...... Right! He Duwei and I agreed, go and say, don't get rid of the mess. Su Hu said hurriedly, sweating slightly on his forehead.

Seeing that Su Hu and He Zhang sent more than a dozen horsemen to gallop away, several officials with strange expressions on their faces, smiled secretly, and hid among the officials, and in the city, then several white doves also flew out, heading towards the west.

In Weizhou City, Situ Liang, who went to Youzhou with Li Ruolan to meet Li Huaiyuan, completed the task and came back to meet Zhao Xun.

"General, Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, has agreed to our plan, and his family and assets have gradually begun to be transferred." Situ Liang said with a smile.

"Great work! Although an agreement was reached with Li Huaiyuan, it was not easy to implement it. Zhao Xun sighed slightly.

"General, it's man-made! Who would have thought that we would be where we are today? Situ Liang said proudly.

Zhao Xun laughed and said: "You're right, compared to the beginning, I don't know how much better it is now, plus we have been officially appointed by the imperial court, what else is there to worry about." ”

Situ Liang took a sip of tea and sighed: "General, the imperial court has given us a good thing." ”

"Military power!"

"Yes, although there is no restriction on the current Youbei patrol of the adults, it has been expanded to the limit, that is, the northern part of Youzhou, but the Xiaoguo Army has not set a limit."

"That's because they think that my Xiaoguo Army can't raise many people with the land of Sanfu, so there is no limit." Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Whether it is the local government army or the central guard army, there is a fixed number, and those who transgress are extremely rebellious. This is also a good slogan for adults to solve the place, I remember that Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, said that he verbally promised Pingzhou Mansion and Haizhou Mansion to expand the army on their own to prevent the Yan Army, but he did not issue a written military order. Situ Liang said with a smile.

"This Li Huaiyuan is not simple! If it weren't for the fact that he was the governor of Youzhou, trapped in Youzhou City, and belonged to 50,000 Longxiang troops and hundreds of thousands of government troops, I am afraid that he would also become a hero. Zhao Xun said slowly.

"Youzhou, west of the state, south of Jizhou, north of the grassland. You can enter the Central Plains, and you can retreat to attack the barbarians in the north. Prepare well when you are done, and if you don't prepare, you will stand up, and if you don't prepare, you will waste. Seeing Zhao Xun fall into deep thought, Situ Liang said slowly.

Situ Liang said this, Zhao Xun didn't say much, and Situ Liang didn't say anything more. What to predict and what not to predict, these things are up to the point, and it is no longer what he says more as a subordinate.

"The Book of Rites 61 The Mean": "If everything is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted." The pre-word rule is not to stumble, the pre-rule is not sleepy, the pre-action rule is not guilty, and the pre-road rule is not poor. ”

Predict that anything can be successful if you are prepared in advance, and you will fail if you are not prepared; If you are prepared to speak, you will not be unreasonable; If you are prepared in advance, you will not encounter difficulties and setbacks; Make a plan before you act, and you won't regret your mistakes.

Zhao Xun knew what Situ Liang meant, Yan Guo did have a problem, but he hadn't reached that kind of mansion to play down. Although revenge is one of the purposes, what he is doing now is not in line with the imperial court system for a long time......

"Report ...... Exultation...... Exultation! Congratulations to General Hee! Wei Chen walked in laughing, completely unscrupulous that this was a place to discuss important matters. But looking at the smile on Wei Chen's face, not only Situ Liang, but even Zhao Xun couldn't figure it out. What happy event can make Wei Chen happy like this now? It stands to reason that there is no great news right now.

"Wei Chen, what is the matter?"

After Wei Chen saluted, he said loudly: "General Hexi, the eldest lady is happy!" ”

"What?" Zhao Xun was shocked, stood up, and said in a lost voice.

"General Hexi!" Situ Liang's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"General, the eldest lady is happy! Yanzhou City just flew a pigeon to summon. Wei Chen said again. This is a letter from Fuchu to the general. As he spoke, he lowered the letter in his hand.

Zhao Xun hurriedly took it, opened it, and it turned out that it was his mother who asked him to return to Yanzhou City immediately, marry Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan, and set his name. In fact, there is a deeper reason, in the past, Xu Qinlian's mother died on her behalf, no matter what, the Zhao family can't have Xu Qinlian, let alone Xu Qinlian returning it to the children who are pregnant with their own son.

"Come on, the guard battalion will follow me back to Yanzhou City. Haha, I'm going to be a father! Zhao Xun laughed, although he felt that he was still very young, but in this era, at the same age, many sons are two or three years old. The reason why Zhao Xun was in such a hurry to return to Yanzhou City was because he and Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan did not have the name of husband and wife. If you have the truth of husband and wife, then you must give them a name.

"Situ Liang, you and a few military advisors are in charge of the situation here, and they are slowly advancing step by step. If you take a place, you will stabilize a place, but you can't rush it. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

Situ Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, there is nothing big here, just push forward slowly." ”

Yanzhou City, at this moment, in the general's mansion, up and down the mansion, all are beaming.

"Li'er, you have to be careful, if there is anything, let the girls do it." Zhao Xun's mother said with a concerned face.

Xu Qinlian hurriedly responded: "Mother, don't worry, it's a pity." ”

"I've already asked that bastard boy to come back, and then you will get married and set your name."

"However, the battle of Weizhou Mansion ......"

"You don't have to worry about this, as a general, do you have to do everything yourself?"

When there is a happy event in the master's family, the servants in the house are very happy, and the rewards are naturally indispensable. Between the marches, there is a faint joy.

"Madame, young lady! The general is back! ”

"I'm back!" As soon as the maid finished speaking, Zhao Xun's voice came from outside the house.

Zhao Xun hurriedly walked into the house and saw his mother and Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan. After seeing his mother, he approached Xu Qinlian directly, and reached out to caress Xu Qinlian's abdomen, as if he wanted to feel his children.

"Cousin! You...... ...... are you," Xu Qinlian blushed and said in a trembling voice.

"I'll see if there's any reaction, huh...... I'm going to be a father...... Li'er, you're going to be a mother! Zhao Xun said excitedly and joyfully.

"You child, only two or three months old, how can you feel it? By the way, what did I tell you? Zhao's mother said with a smile, it seems that she is also very happy when she has a son.

"I have my own mother in charge, but this time I even married Lan'er together, so as not to cause trouble in the future." Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Okay, then marry together!" In this regard, Zhao's mother naturally will not refuse, the more her son marries, the more he can open up the Zhao family, and the children and grandchildren will be full. "Okay, I'll leave it here to you young people, I'll go find someone to check the date first."

Seeing Li Ruolan on the side looking at Xu Qinlian's abdomen with envious eyes, Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Lan'er, don't be envious, let's work hard, you can also give me one." ”

…………

"Xun'er, although it is said that men have three wives and four concubines, but there is only one wife, and you want to marry a wife at the same time, then the specifications are ......," Zhao's mother said with a sad face.

Zhao Xun smiled: "Mother, you don't need to pay attention to it, it's the same specification." I don't want any of them to be embarrassed and wronged. As for the rest, nothing important. The important thing is that now Xiaoguo Jun, only your son can speak. ”

"Whatever you want, these two children are indeed pleasant, and they have followed you in our last years. Especially Li'er, her mother still died on my behalf, we owe her. Mother Zhao said with emotion.

Zhao asked: "Don't worry, don't you know your son's nature?" There will never be a negative for them. By the way, Pingzhou Mansion is about to be included in the rule of my Xiaoguo Army, and when the time comes, ......"

"Secretly repair your father's grave, but the assassin of Pingzhou Mansion and the captain will be killed!" Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Xun and said in a deep voice. She also knows that Zhao Xun's father's identity is a bit complicated, and he may bring trouble to his son, but this does not mean that he will let go like this.

Zhao asked: "Mother, rest assured, Pingzhou Mansion, anyone who participated in the events of the year will be killed by the whole family!" "If you have revenge and don't take revenge, you will be the son of man in vain. For the assassin of Pingzhou Mansion and then the lieutenant, in Zhao Xun's eyes, he was already a dead man.

The affairs of Pingzhou Mansion are handled by a special person, and Zhao Xun is a little big now, and he finally understands what the old man is all about.

Since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there has been a set of quite complex and troublesome procedures for the establishment of marriage, commonly known as the six rites of marriage, this complex set of procedures, has been used to this day, and it is estimated that it is still passed down. Speaking of which, after Zhao Xun listened to his mother's explanation, Zhao Xun was a little big. It's too complicated, it's too cumbersome. The so-called six ceremonies of marriage are: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person.

Nacai: The man asks the matchmaker to propose to the woman; Asking for a name: After the woman agrees to discuss the marriage, the man asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name, birthday, etc., and divides it in the ancestral temple to determine the good fortune; Najib: After receiving the auspicious omen, he is engaged to the woman and pays the levy: also known as Na Yuan, the man sends the dowry gift to the woman's house; Invitation period: The man brings gifts to the woman's house to agree on the marriage date; Welcome: On the day of the wedding, the man marries the woman to his home.

The wedding is the most important event, and it must be ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The more important the identity, the more elaborate these procedures become. Zhao Xun, as the Youbei Patrol Envoy and General Yunlu, naturally can't take it lightly, and the civil officials under the jurisdiction of the Youbei Patrol Envoy are busy with their hands and feet.

After more than a month, the whole set is not finished, which makes Zhao Xun miserable, and it is really unbearable. He was a little envious of the wedding in his previous life, simple and fast. Zhao Xun didn't even care about the Xiaoguo Army's action into Pingzhou Mansion, and after making some simple instructions, he entrusted the battle of Pingzhou Mansion to the generals.

Because it is located in the north, after October, the weather becomes cooler, which is not suitable for large armies. In addition, the war in Pingzhou Mansion has begun, and Zhao Xun is unwilling to delay it for too long. Let Yu Jing speed up the process and get married as soon as possible.

The tenth day of the tenth month of October, the auspicious day of the zodiac, is the most suitable for marriage.

Early in the morning, all the streets and shops in Yanzhou City began to put up lights, as if Chinese New Year's Eve had arrived. The General's Mansion in the city and the two mansions not far from it are all painted in red inside and outside, and are full of festive red lanterns.

Yanzhou City, with a population of more than 200,000, the seat of the Xiaoguo Army, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, and the master of Youbei are the days of these big weddings, and they are still marrying two at a time. I don't know how many young girls are extremely envious, wishing that they were the heroines of today's wedding.

Zhao Xun's wedding, in addition to the generals who are on the front line and the generals who can't leave the border, the rest of the civil and military generals are all present, and all the prefectures of Youzhou, up to the governor, Xuanfu envoy, down to the governors and lieutenants of the prefectures, all sent people to celebrate. Even Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei, also sent people to send congratulatory gifts. Now, let the envoys who came to congratulate know how popular this young General Yunlu is.

And ordinary people don't have so many ideas, Zhao Xun brought them hope and rescued them from the fire pit, they naturally hope that Zhao Xun can live a happy life.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xun took the greeting team of Li Xu Zhichang and finally went around Yanzhou City, first picked up Xu Qinlian from the mansion of Xu Qinlian's brother Xu He, and then went to Li Luobei's Li Mansion to pick up Li Ruolan and complete the greeting ceremony. When the two daughters crossed the gate of the General's Mansion, the six wedding ceremonies of the two were completed, and they successfully passed the ceremony of becoming a wife.

I don't know what others think, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention anything else, but his stomach was also rumbling with hunger.

You know, this set off early in the morning, with a team of thousands of people, around the entire Yanzhou City. In addition, along the way, the countless onlookers of the people have to wave with the people from time to time to throw some red envelopes or something, can you not be tired? Even his face stiffened with a smile.

Even if I was fighting, I wasn't so tired, at least I wouldn't be hungry and have a stiff face.

Next, you only need to wait until dusk is auspicious, and then go through the worship ceremony, and after meeting Zhao Xun's mother, the two daughters have completed the last procedure, and they have truly become Zhao Xun's wife.

For Zhao Xun's distress, obviously no one noticed, they would only envy Zhao Xun, marrying two beauties at once, really envious of others. The general's mansion has already been arranged, and today's wedding banquet, more than 100 tables have been set up in the mansion. The entire General's Mansion was lit up with lights, vocal music was noisy, and there were loud and laughing guests everywhere.

Today's wedding banquet, in addition to the celebrations of the surrounding provinces, the officials under the rule of Xiaoguo Army, except for the inability to leave, basically all arrived. Zhao Xun is not a private army that rose from his own in the past, but now he is an earl with a regular name, the master who controls several mansions, and a general who holds great power, and no one can underestimate him. Even many people in the surrounding provinces can see that this unrestricted Xiaoguo Army is the biggest force in Youzhou, and no one can be the one who can grasp the military and politics, and the Yan Ya Army is powerful, right? The result? Liaodong is strong, you look at the people's Xiaoguo army, and they directly despise it. If you don't come now, what if you have a handle in the future?
