Chapter 25 The class teacher returns to the court
I have to say that Li Er's deeds these days have won the love of the people of Luoyang, when the army goes out of the city, it is simply an empty alley, and the streets are crowded with people who come to see each other, every time Li Er waves his hand, it will cause a tsunami of the crowd, and he walked for nearly two hours before he went out of Dingding Gate. www.biquge.info Even the officials who followed him out of the city were shocked by the fanatical performance of the people of Luoyang.
"It's rare in the world to see such a grand scene." Lu Deming said with emotion. has been an official for many years, even if he inspected Luoyang when Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty was in power, he had never seen such a big battle.
Kong Yingda nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, but did not speak. As soon as Li Erchong entered Luoyang, he pardoned the prisoners who had been imprisoned for implicated crimes when Wang Shichong was in power, set up porridge sheds to help homeless poor families, and also announced that Luoyang would be exempted from taxes for one year. In just over a month, all aspects of Luoyang were handled in an orderly manner, and everyone praised the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and the lives of the people were many times stronger than when Wang Shichong was in power. In addition, Wang Mai borrowed his name when he organized the rebel army in the city before, and the people of Luoyang were all grateful to him, and even many people supported the immortal tablet of King Qin, which shows his status in the hearts of the people of Luoyang.
Wang Mai was riding his little brown horse in front of the civil service, next to the well-known merry old handsome man Yu Wenshi. This old boy is in his forties, but he looks like he is in his early thirties, with a beautiful beard, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, riding on a horse, and even holding a folding fan in his hand, which can be described as full of commotion.
Yuwen Shihe is the younger brother of Yu Wenhua, the elder brother of Yuwen Zhihe, and the second of the three Yuwen brothers. After Yu Wenhua led the rebels north and was defeated by Li Mi, Yu Wenshi and once persuaded his brother Yu Wenhua to join Tang, but Yu Wenhua did not listen. Later, Yu Wenhua was eliminated by Dou Jiande, and Yu Wenshi and Tang voted for Tang, because he had a good relationship with Li Yuan when he was an official in the Sui Dynasty, so he was reused. He pacified Song Jingang under Li Er's account, was named the county prince of Xincheng, and married Li Yuan's niece, the county lord of Shouguang.
Yu Wenshi and from a famous family, his conversation and demeanor are extraordinary, and he rode side by side with Wang Mai along the way, and the two chatted quite speculatively. Speaking of the battle of Luoyang this time, Yu Wenshi and as a strategist under Li Er's account, naturally knew everything about what Wang Mai had done, this person was just a five-grade general as a young eunuch, without soldiers and power, and even mobilized the people of the whole city to become enemies with Wang Shichong, and also broke through the palace, rummaging through the history books, such an example is also unique. After making such a contribution, after returning to Chang'an, he will definitely be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and at such an age, the future will be bright. Moreover, this person is deeply valued by the King of Qin, and he will be an official in the same dynasty in the future, and he is not a friend or foe.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is listless, but fortunately, Wang Mai has been prepared, and took out a cowboy hat with a roll brim from the bag he carried and put it on his head, instantly feeling that the world is beautiful again. This hat was specially prepared for this long-distance march, otherwise it would not have been allowed to turn into black charcoal after walking under the scorching sun for more than ten days in a row. looked at Yu Wenshi on the side, smiled embarrassedly, and took out another one and handed it to him.
Yu Wenshi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the wide brim, this hat is very exquisitely made, and it is also made of breathable black yarn, and there are some thin bamboo pieces in it to support, which is much simpler than the Jin Xianguan who covered his head uncomfortably, but it is better than practical, and it is much more beautiful than the big hat. After hesitating for a moment, he still put it on his head, and the scorching sun above his head was not so dazzling, and when he opened his eyes that had been half-squinting, he suddenly felt that the field of vision in front of him was much wider.
"I have long heard that Brother Wang's whimsy is rare in the world, but I didn't expect that a small crown can be innovative and unique." Yu Wenshi and exclaimed.
"It's just some gadgets that can't be elegant, and I don't deserve such praise from Brother Yuwen." Wang Mai said with a smile. It's just a hat, and these ancients always liked to make a fuss. The hat was invented to shelter from the sun and rain, and then it gradually became a symbol of etiquette, and slowly lost its original intention, and it was just playing its proper role.
The weather was too hot, and within two hours of walking, Li Er gave the order to set up camp, and the mighty camp tent stretched for more than ten miles. At this time, everyone no longer had the heart to chat, and began to lower their heads to find water to drink.
Yu Wenshi drank a large bag of water before he felt relieved and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. But he was surprised to see Wang Mai take out a piece of salt from his bag, slowly crush it and add it to the water, and then drink it in one go.
"Brother Wang, what are you?" Yu Wenhua opened his mouth, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Sweating too much, adding a little salt to the water can effectively replenish electrolytes." Wang Mai explained.
"This ...... What are electrolytes? "Yu culture and confused.
"Forehead......" Wang Mai thought about it and explained to him from a different angle, "That is, there is too much salt excreted in people's sweat, which leads to serious salt loss, so it needs to be replenished, so it is easier to quench thirst." ”
"Isn't the more you eat salt, the thirstier you get?" Yu culture and feeling that this is obviously beyond their common sense.
"Of course not, there is an appropriate proportion of salt in the human body, and it is not good to have more or less."
"This ......" Yu Wenshi watched in disbelief as Wang Mai drank a large glass of salt water, and only then did he believe his words a little.
Li Er dragged his tired body to inspect the barracks again, and the weather after the ambush was so hot that many soldiers suffered from heat stroke. But fortunately, Luoyang to Chang'an is only a dozen days away, so if you can't do it, slow down a little.
Finally, I came to the new army camp led by Fugui, the camp tent was placed very neatly, and the spirit of the soldiers was also very good. I asked the New Army about today's march, and the answer was that everything was good.
"Back to Your Highness, this little road is nothing to us, this more than a month of drills, the amount of training on any day is more than today, and the march is a rest for us." Fugui said on the side.
Li Er smiled, this Wang Fugui and Cheng Yanjin are exactly the same, bragging without blushing, but listening to his tone, the new army is indeed high-spirited, and Wang Mai's method is very effective. After saying a few words of encouragement, I specially told him again, the weather is hot, beware of the soldiers suffering from heat stroke.
"Heat stroke?" Fugui shook his head, "No one in our camp has suffered from heat stroke. ”
