At noon, Kan Ling escorted the car out of Ye County, and saw his mother leave with the car, so he rushed to the port barracks to report to Yanqing.

Zheng Yanqing appointed him as his right servant, which means personal follower.

Since he is now in the barracks, Yan Qing, as a brigade commander, is only a grassroots officer. It stands to reason that he did not reach the status of a subordinate with a servant. But he is also the cloud cavalry captain of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and according to the title, it is also legitimate for him to be equipped with subordinates.

Yan Qing was born in Anyuantang, so he followed the common name of Anyuantang: Tiger.

Xionghai is the left servant of the tiger, and Kan Ling is the right subordinate.

Counting Shen Guang, the 'tiger chief' who has followed Yanqing for the longest time, the tiger servant formed by the ancestor of Anyuantang and the general Zheng Wei in the past has begun to take shape. These three people are equivalent to Yanqing's private soldiers. Their money did not originate from the imperial court, but was paid by Zheng Yanqing. And their names will not be displayed in the list of the congregations. The greater the credit, the higher their status.

This is also the most commonly used method of the Maison since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

On the one hand, Zheng Yanqing was at the port of Ye County, on the one hand, he took care of and received the baggage transported from all over the country, and on the other hand, he stepped up the training of the sect. He merged the 200 officers and soldiers assigned to him by Zhou Fashang with the 300 sects of the Xie family, and performed at night.

Xie Ke has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and in comparison, Yanqing seems to be a little inadequate.

He is not a man who is good at managing troops and is good at dispatching troops. Even if you have been reading military books for many years, at most you can talk about soldiers on paper.

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing very consciously lowered his position.

This 500-strong escort army has Xie Ke Xie Yingden as the main general. Yan Qing still played the role of Sima in the army, assisting Xie Ke in making suggestions and rectifying military discipline. In Zheng Yanqing's own words: professional things should still be done by professional people.

In his spare time, he took Shen Guang and the three of them, and Huang Wenqing, the commander of Ye County, or local celebrities to wander around.

Ye County, that is, Laizhou, Shandong Province in later generations.

There are many scenic spots here, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the most famous is Yunfeng Mountain in the south of Ye County. This Yunfeng Mountain, also known as Wenfeng Mountain, but more popular, is based on its mountain shape, and the name Bijia Mountain. The rocks in the mountains are craggy, the peaks are high, the valleys are secluded, the forests are lush, and the scenery is picturesque.

It is the early spring, the pine is dripping green, and the flowers are blooming.

The spring peach of this mountain is one of the three seasons. Yan Qing followed Huang Wenqing and others to swim in the mountains, but he was at ease.

However, one of the most famous scenery in the mountain, which is also one that Huang Wenqing highlighted, is the stele of Zheng Daozhao.

This Zheng Daozhao is a member of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, who once assassinated the Chu people in Guangzhou during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has the name of "the holy hand of the north". He left 17 inscriptions in Yunfeng Mountain, all of which are located on the cliff. In later generations, Zheng Daozhao's fame may not be as famous as those famous calligraphers. However, his inscription was widely circulated. Among them, it is especially said that scholars of this book and Taoism regard Zheng Daozhao's inscription as a treasure.

Huang Wenqing felt that since Zheng Yanqing was a child of the Zheng family, although he did not belong to the same clan as Zheng Daozhao, he was also a calligrapher, and he would definitely be interested in the inscription in the mountain. In fact, Yan Qing did have a strong interest in Zheng Daozhao's inscription.

Later, he simply lived in the mountains, and for ten days, he copied the inscriptions, and lived a good life.

As the days passed, with the grain purchased by Huang Wenqing, they arrived in Ye County one after another. The 600 stone military rations that had been loaned to Yanqing earlier were also returned on schedule. With the availability of grain and the start of spring ploughing, the number of displaced people has not continued to grow.

Zheng Yanqing saw that the army's rations and baggage were fully mobilized, and the soldiers and horses under his command were gradually cooperating and improving, so he reported to Shabei City.

In late February, Zhou Fashang ordered Zheng Yanqing to escort grain and grass to Shabei City with the sea ship to assemble.

At the same time, the Sui army arrived on the banks of the Liaoshui River and launched a ferocious attack on Goguryeo...... *** Shabei City, which was later known as Jin County in Liaoning Province.

Located between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the coastline is tortuous, the harbors are connected, and the tidal flats are vast. This is the relay station for the naval army to attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and 500 sea ships are hoarded in the harbor, waving flags and colorful flags, covering the sky. 30,000 rows of hammermen, 30,000 crossbowmen, that is, more than 10,000 sailors and clans drawn from Jiangnan, nearly 80,000 people, ready to go, waiting for military orders at any time.

When Yan Qing arrived in Shabei City, it was already the end of February.

The front army and the middle army of the navy have already set off to attack Haipu.

There were about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they were commanded by Zhou Fashang. Yan Qing and Xie Ke sent the grain and grass to the warehouse, and immediately rushed to the military tent to report.

"Lvshuai Zheng, Gongzi Xie, you came just in time."

Zhou Fashang was very happy to see Yan Qing and Xie Ke, "The general has led his troops across the sea to attack, and I will also lead the troops to go out after ten days."

Now, it is the time to employ people, and the two of you have come to solve my heart. ”

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Come to Hu'er or don't want to see him?

Previously, he took Zheng Xing, Mai Zizhong and others to Shabei City in advance, so he did not meet Zheng Yanqing, but it can be justified. Then, he left Yanqing in Ye County, and even did not let Yanqing participate in the naval army oath meeting, which was a bit excessive.

Now, knowing that Zheng Yanqing escorted the baggage to come, he took care of himself and led his troops to the sea.

This is obviously an extremely rude act, and if it weren't for the extreme disgust he had for Yanqing, he would never have done such a thing.

Obviously, he calculated the time before letting Zheng Yanqing come to Shabei City to report. Yan Qing also has the official position of Yun Cavalry Captain, and at the same time, he is a very famous celebrity in Shilin. Lai Hu'er used this method to snub Zheng Yanqing and even marginalize him...... That's right, Zheng Yanqing doesn't want to participate in this war, but it doesn't mean that he can accept such a degree of contempt from Laihu'er.

Since he became famous for singing goose bodies, when has he suffered such neglect?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanqing's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and a layer of gloom suddenly floated on his delicate face.

How could Zhou Fashang not see the unhappiness in Yan Qing's heart, but he had no choice but to come to Hu'er to listen to Zheng Xing's words, and after Feng Zhiyu arrived in Shabei City, there were many slanderous words. Mai Zizhong doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs, and he is also very free and easy. But that doesn't mean he will stand up and speak up for the rival he loves. In particular, Yan Qing eloped with Pei Cuiyun, which had seriously damaged Mai Zizhong's feelings.

At this time, if he doesn't stand up and fall into the well, he is already a big man.

As a result, Laihu'er's senses for Zheng Yanqing became worse and worse. In his eyes, Zheng Yanqing is just a young man with ambition, relying on some talent, so he is arrogant and domineering, and he has no one in his eyes. In particular, Yan Qing clashed with Feng Zhiyu in Ye County, and even broke into the Feng military camp and killed dozens of villagers of the Feng family, which confirmed Zheng Yanqing's arrogant name. Come to Hu'er, I don't like him.

Although Zhou Fashang defended Zheng Yanqing with two sentences, he had no choice but to protect his children's prejudices.

He could only try to alleviate this awkward situation. After all, he is just a deputy manager, just a deputy to Hu'er, and he can't be the master.

If it weren't for Zheng Yanqing, he would have been drawn with the army.

Zhou Fashang knew very well in his heart that he didn't say that Zheng Yanqing was young and vigorous, even if an adult was snubbed like this, I am afraid he would not be able to accept it. Yanqing performed very well, if he was a real young man, he would lead the clan if he couldn't say anything, and leave without saying a word.

If that's the case, coming to protect the child can be regarded as offending people ruthlessly!

"Lvshuai Zheng, the chief manager originally wanted to meet you in person after you arrived.

However, due to the urgency of the military situation, the Liaodong side had already started a war, and he had to lead his troops across the sea to prepare for an attack on Pyongyang. Before leaving, the governor also entrusted me to apologize to you, and appointed you to join the army for Cangcao, and after 15 days, he crossed the sea with the army and camped on the west bank of the river dam.

These days, you stay here and check the heavy grain and grass.

After the fifteenth day, they attacked with the army, and when the time came, they would meet on the west bank of the river dam. When the time comes, the manager will meet you personally. ”

Cangcao joined the army, and as the name suggests, he was the chief officer who guarded the warehouse.

To put it nicely, he is called a grain overseer; To put it mildly, it's a warehouse keeper.

In history, the person who is famous for being a grain supervisor is probably the one who was killed by Cao Ying during the Three Kingdoms period...... Your wife and children, I will raise them, and you will not worry. In peacetime, there is no chance to establish meritorious deeds, and when he is in trouble, he is a scapegoat.

The haze on Zheng Yanqing's face was even heavier.

He intervened and saluted: "The last general will obey the command." ”

Zhou Fashang smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was still pleasant.

"Zheng Sicao has worked hard all the way, so let's go down and rest first."

Yan Qing and Xie Ke took their leave and withdrew from the military tent.

Out of the camp, Xie Ke suddenly said, "Yanqing, let's go back." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally, it's going home...... I once heard that the corporal who came to protect the child was a celebrity. Nowadays, it seems that it is better to be famous than to meet.

It has been three months since you and I arrived in Ye County. Instead of summoning him, he made things difficult for you and me at every turn. Otherwise, why should you and I stay in this hellish place? Si Cao joins the army...... Hmph, you and I have become his handymen guarding the warehouse. ”

Zheng Yanqing smiled, "If we leave now, I'm afraid that we will be looked down upon by him even more in the future."

Si Cao is Si Cao, at least he gave us a military position...... Brother Xie, Saiong lost his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing? Only this time, you're being burdened by me. ”

Xie Ke smiled, "Brother Xian, what are you talking about?" You and I fought bloody battles in the White Bird Temple back then, but the friendship of the robe Ze is not even affected. I had no interest in any of these things, and if it weren't for my father's high expectations, I wouldn't want to come here and suffer this grievance. ”

After that, he and Zheng Yanqing looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After the two returned to the camp, Yan Qing ordered his soldiers and horses to step up their rest.

In fact, there is nothing to rest and recuperate, but it is the same as when I was in Ye County, training and rectifying military discipline. At the same time, Zhou Fashang sent another 600 sailors, plus the previous 200 officers and soldiers, to gather a group of men, and appointed Zheng Yanqing as a lieutenant to take over the responsibility of Si Cao.

Counting, there are 1,100 people under Yanqing's command.

In his heart, he was not willing to take over the 600 water army. The officers and soldiers and the clan under his command have already played properly. Now with the addition of 600 men, it seems that the number of troops has increased and the power has increased. But in fact, the combat effectiveness has been weakened a lot. And he didn't have two months to train these guys and put together a thousand soldiers and horses. In desperation, he had no choice but to order the 200 officers and troops to be dispersed and regrouped. But in this way, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some veteran ruffians, and even cause a rebellion in the camp.

But Yanqing is not afraid!

On the third day, he raised his tent and counted the soldiers and horses.

After beheading twenty-seven soldiers in a row, the bloody head hung above the camp in the middle of the camp, so that the soldiers and horses under his command were immediately stable.

In the past, it was said that Zheng Yanqing was in Xingyang, and he had a killing spree.

Dealing with these veteran ruffians, he will not be half soft.

Zhou Fashang was also amazed by Yanqing's iron-fisted methods. originally thought that Yan Qing would run into trouble when he governed these veteran ruffians, but now it seems that he is too worried...... So on the eighth day of Yanqing's arrival in Shabei City, he led his troops across the sea to Haipu.

On the seventh day, Yan Qing led the soldiers and horses, escorted the grain and grass baggage, and boarded the military ship.

The Yellow Sea is vast, far from being as turbid as in later generations. The Wuya battleship was on the sea, chopping through the waves, and headed towards Haipu. Zheng Yanqing stood on the deck of the ship, looking into the distance, but saw the vast sea, the white waves, the blue waves churning, the scenery was not spectacular.

Walking on the sea, breathing the damp air, the whole person's mind will be broadened.

Xie Ke stood beside Yan Qing and sang softly: "The east is adjacent to Jieshi, to watch the sea...... Virtuous brother, in front of such magnificent scenery, you can appreciate the heroism of Wei Wu. In this situation, if you can drink and sing, it must be a great pleasure in life. Hehe, in front of such a scene, isn't there no poetry? ”

Yan Qing smiled, "Shixing doesn't have it, but there are indeed two feelings of nostalgia." ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

Zheng Yanqing was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly sang with great courage: "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after." Thinking of the world and the world, I was alone and wept. ”

This was originally made by Chen Zianghuai, who was a member of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, and did it in Youzhou Terrace.

Now Zheng Yanqing is slandered by the villain and despised by Laihu'er, which is quite sympathetic. Although he doesn't care about this, the feeling of being despised and slandered, and marginalized is not very comfortable after all. Xie Ke was silent for a moment, and patted Zheng Yanqing on the shoulder after a moment.

"Why should you care about the past?

You have a great journey before, and no one else can compare. Today, it is said that people are neglected and despised, and there will be opportunities to ask others for it. ”

"What Brother Xie said is, but I'm a little narrow-minded!"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but laugh abruptly when he thought of this.

It is said that the west mountain falls, and the jade rabbit rises eastward.

A bright moon hung above the sea and sky, and the warship moved slowly, pushing the blue waves to surge.

Zheng Yanqing suddenly felt a little and ordered Shen Guang to fetch the guqin.

He sat on the deck, stroked the piano and sang: "The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together."

Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river. The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail.

The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen. The sea and the sky are free of fiber dust, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky.

Who first saw the moon on the riverside, and when did the river moon shine at the beginning of the year? Life has been infinite for generations, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year.

I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water. The white clouds are gone, and the green maple is not worried.

Who's house is flat boat tonight, where is the acacia Mingyue Tower. Poor upstairs wandering in the moon, reflecting the human makeup mirror table.

The jade curtain can't be rolled up, and the clothes are smashed and the anvil is returned. At this time, we don't hear each other, and we are willing to shine on you month by month.

The wild goose flies for a long time, and the fish and dragon dive into the water. Last night, the dream of the idle pool fell, and the poor spring did not return home.

The river flows to the end of spring, and the moon falls in the river and the lake slopes westward. The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the stone Xiaoxiang has an infinite road.

I don't know how many people will return to the moon, and the falling moon will shake the river trees. ”

After singing a song of Spring River flowers and moonlit nights, Xie Ke applauded his palms repeatedly. The sailors on the ship may not be able to read, but they can hear the quality of this poem. also praised repeatedly, and some people were bold enough to sing harmony with each other.

For a time, the singing on the sea came and went, breaking the tranquility of the sea and sky...... Xiong Dahai cowardly walked up to Zheng Yanqing and scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, I want to ask you something."

"Oh?"

"My name is the sea, and now I see the sea is magnificent, so I think my name is a bit cheesy, can you please change the name on my behalf? Take a bold and nice name...... Hehe, good names like Brother Shen and Ah Ling. ”

Zheng Yanqing was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The sea, your name is not bad, why do you need to change it?" ”

"But I always feel that the sea is a bit cheesy."

Without waiting for Zheng Yanqing to speak, Xie Ke suddenly said: "Big, broad." Since you think the name of the sea is cheesy, why don't you just change the name to the wide sea, what do you think? ”

Xiong Dahai thought for a while, and suddenly nodded: "Xiong Dahai, Xiong Dahai?"

Well, that's a nice name...... Ha, then from now on, I will be called the Mighty Sea! ”

When Xie Ke proposed to change 'big' to 'wide', Zheng Yanqing hadn't reacted to the taste. But when Xiong Dahai happily shouted out the three words 'Xiong Kuohai', his head buzzed, and he couldn't help but change color suddenly.

Raise your head and look at the majestic sea.

Yan Qing asked with difficulty: "The sea, you just said, do you want to call it the majestic sea?" ”
