Chapter 33: The Storm Rises Again
The two put down the gifts, and Sun Teng opened his mouth and said to the old man: "Is there a young lady in the house recently?" My brother saw this young lady yesterday and liked it very much, and wanted to marry the old man, I don't know if I want to? ”
The old man looked surprised and replied, "There is a niece of my own relative who lives here, but this is not something that I can decide, and I need to ask the niece and parents of my relative." "If you don't know someone who comes to visit and wants to propose, if you don't know that Sun Teng is a member of the court, the old man estimates that the early education servant beat Gao Huan out, what a disciple!
"That's what the old man said, but I don't know which woman your niece is?" Sun Teng could only ask stubbornly. secretly said in his heart: Gao Huan, you hurt me.
The old man was about to answer, when he saw two young girls coming in one after the other outside the door, who were the dream lover Gao Huan saw yesterday. A young girl walked in front of her and asked, "Which woman am I, and what do you have to do with you?" What are you asking for no reason? ”
The old man hurriedly got up and introduced Sun Teng and the two to the girl, and after listening to the introduction, the girl looked at Gao Huan intently and said, "You are He Liuhun?" ”
Gao Huan hurriedly got up and said with a red face: "It's exactly below." "My heart is pounding, and I am so nervous to be watched by this beauty.
"I heard that you are coming to propose marriage to me, do you know whose daughter I am?" The girl asked Gao Huan proudly.
"Although I don't know who Miss is, I really like Miss in the next, and I hope that Miss will be perfect in the next piece of infatuation." Gao Huan suddenly became thick-skinned this time, and said these words in front of everyone, if he wanted to change his previous life, he would not dare to say such things. You know both horizontally and vertically, so it's better to say it generously.
"You can fall in love when you see each other, and you're too frivolous." On the side, the little maid refuted: "Don't look at your identity, my young lady is the second young lady of the Heavenly King Mansion!" ”
As soon as Sun Teng heard about the Heavenly King's Mansion, his brain exploded. This stabbed the hornet's nest, this girl is Er Zhurong's youngest daughter Er Zhu Caihuang!
There are two daughters in the family of Er Zhu Rong, the big one is called Er Zhu Ying'e, the legend is extraordinary, she is the concubine of today's son, and the small one is called Er Zhu Caihuang, which is also gorgeous and moving, but the personality is similar to Er Zhu Rong, there is no bit of everyone's beautiful temperament, but there are three points of boldness, which belongs to a female man. Maybe it's because I'm young and loved by my family.
This Gao Huan actually fell in love with Er Zhurong's daughter, isn't it boring for himself? This also affected my Sun Teng and was unlucky. Sun Teng secretly scolded Gao Huan in his heart: You have a good eye, you know that you killed me!
"Forgive me for being abrupt, I don't know if the little county lord is here, there is a lot of disturbance, say goodbye!" After speaking, Sun Teng got up and pulled Gao Huan to walk out of the door, Gao Huan turned back to Er Zhu Caihuang step by step and said: "Miss, I will come to the palace to visit in the future, you wait for me to ......" Sun Teng had already stuffed him into the carriage, and left with a shout.
It turned out that Er Zhu Caihuang was bored at home in Yecheng, and asked Er Zhurong to come to the countryside to play, Er Zhurong is now a baby daughter by his side, and he is naturally pampered, but he doesn't want to blatantly send someone to send someone to the countryside Zhuangzi, so he secretly pretended to be the niece of Li Hanyue, the governor of the Soldiers and Horses.
Back in Zhuangzi, Sun Teng complained that Gao Huan had hurt himself in front of Sima Ziru and He Batsheng. Gao Huan said proudly: "Second brother, what are you afraid of, it's me who likes the county lord, not you, even if the king is to blame, I can bear it alone, and besides, after we return to Yecheng, I must go to the palace to find Caihuang." As he spoke, he looked like a pig brother with a mouthful of haz.
Sun Teng and Sima Ziru shook their heads when they heard this, and there was a knife on their heads, this He Liuhun really didn't want to live. He Batsheng said to Gao Huan with a straight face: "Third brother, I support you!" Love knows no identity or status! It's like my love for Wang Ling. ”
Enough of these two. Sima Ziru and Sun Teng wished they had never known him.
As the so-called impermanence of the world, which ordinary people can expect, Gao Huan and the others just returned to the city early in the morning of the second day, and were asked by the herald to go to the army before noon that day to discuss matters.
Gao Huan had to temporarily put down the matter of Caihuang and return to his own work, which is the characteristic of our modern urban white-collar workers, who can quickly put into work and adapt to it.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Er Zhurong sat on the tiger skin chair at the top. Lower Seoul Zhu Yimen Tiger Generals: Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhongyuan, Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Shilong and others. Everyone saw Er Zhurong's solemn expression, and they were all silent, and they didn't even talk in a low voice.
"You must have also heard that the Liang State in the south has been divided into three ways to rush to Huainan, this is to see that our domestic situation is unstable, and we want to take advantage of the fire to rob." After Er Zhurong closed his eyes and finished speaking, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "I also underestimate my Er Zhurong, I want to entrust the affairs of Huainan to Er Zhu Zhongyuan and Er Zhu Zhao, just tell me if you need anything." Seeing that the two nodded and obeyed the order, Er Zhurong continued: "Now the situation in the capital of Luoyang is also turbulent, the queen mother is deceived by the servants and actually wants to abolish the emperor, my eldest daughter is the concubine of the current emperor, and a secret letter has been sent to inform me of all this, I want to enter Beijing in the near future, appease the internal affairs, and resist the humiliation of the enemy outside." Of course, there are still some counties in the north that have not yet been pacified, and I need one or two trustworthy cadres to suppress and crusade. Recently, I called Zhujun to discuss the matter just to tell everyone that as long as you follow my Erzhu family wholeheartedly, prosperity and wealth will definitely be indispensable in the future, but who wants to have two masters, both ends of the rat's head, and want to make some small moves, don't blame me for being ruthless. With a wave of his hand, the sergeant outside the tent pressed in a person, none other than Wang Yuanyi of Guangping.
Everyone wondered what the situation was, only to hear Er Zhuzhao get up and say loudly: "King Guangping resold military rations privately to make a profit, and also helped the queen mother in the capital to spy on the military situation of our army, and was seized by everyone on the spot. Then he threw a letter on the table, and the situation was written to the Empress Dowager Ho. At this time, Yuan Yi was lying on the ground like a dead dog with disheveled clothes and a cloak, and it seemed that he had been tortured. Gao Huan peeked at Er Zhu Zhongyuan, only to see that the guy didn't dare to look at Yuan Yi, his face was red and white for a while, it seems that there must be him in this reselling of military rations!
Er Zhurong waved his hand lightly again, and the sergeant set up Yuan Yi and took it out of the battalion commander, only to hear the weak voice begging for mercy from Yuan Yi's mouth: "The king of heaven spares his life, the king of heaven ...... around me" I heard a scream outside the tent, it seems that Yuan Yi has been killed.
Er Zhurong said with a flat face: "I am also a high-ranking official to those who are loyal to me, except for my wife, I can give everything else." But if you want to betray the Lord and seek glory, even if you are a relative of the emperor, I will still kill you. Everyone unconsciously felt that their backs were cold, and the effect of killing people had been achieved.
"You wait for everyone to go down and go back to prepare according to the arrangement of the commander, and the whole army will set off in three days." When Er Zhurong finished the last sentence, he had already closed his eyes and recuperated in the chair.
The generals got up and withdrew from the tent. The secret letter of military orders taken by Gao Huan's four humane duty officers went to the inner government of the government office. Sima Ziru asked, "I was arranged to go to Youzhou to suppress and clean up several important towns in the north. How, what arrangements did you get? ”
Sun Teng said with a satisfied face: "I stayed in Yecheng. ”
"I want to lead my troops to Luoyang with the Heavenly King." He Batsheng said with some surprise. It seems that he didn't think of Er Zhurong's intention of taking him to Luoyang.
Everyone turned their faces to look at Gao Huan, and said in their hearts that he could have any task arrangements for the first time after a local official was transferred. Seeing this, Gao Huan smirked, touched his head and said, "I was also arranged to sweep away several remnants of anti-thieves in Jizhou. ”
At the moment, the four of them sat silently and looked at each other speechlessly, seeing that they were about to separate, and they didn't know when they would be able to get together again.
"Haha, it's okay, brothers, we are just to see each other again, although we are in different places, but there is always a chance to get together, and then we will come back to drink and talk about our hearts." Sima Ziru said to everyone: "We only need to serve the king well, and in the future, we will definitely climb the dragon and the phoenix and fly to Huang Tengda." Everyone nodded silently, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Three days later, Gao Huan and Sima Ziru each led the generals of their headquarters to the northern front, He Basheng went south to Luoyang with Er Zhurong's army, Sun Teng was left to watch his family, with him in Yecheng, Gao Huan did not have to worry about the safety of his family for the time being.
This time Gao Huan set off to Jizhou, Ruyi also had to follow all the way, originally Gao Huan did not agree, marching and fighting is not better than playing in the mountains and rivers, how do you know that this little girl cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and her ability to fight both soft and hard made Gao Huan retreat, so she could only reluctantly agree. He was accompanied by his cousins Gao Yue and Gao Zhongming, and the generals Li Erhu and Guan Yiguan Er.
The author would like to tell the officials about the current form of Jizhou: there are more than 30 large and small forces entrenched in Leling County in the eastern part of Jizhou, and they are completely autonomous. Nanpi in the north is occupied by the local tyrant Tian Shu, who has never obeyed the orders of the central government. In the southeast, Ande and Qixian were full of bandits, and public order was chaotic.
Therefore, Gao Huan led 15,000 people from Dingzhou to garrison Changle, the governor of Jizhou, which is Er Zhurong's sphere of influence, but the orders of the imperial court can only work here.
Gao Huan decided to clear the bandits in the southeast first, so he sent Gao Yue and Gao Zhongming to lead 4,000 ironclad troops to Qixian County. Let Li Erhu and Guan Yi lead 8,000 men and horses to be stationed in Anling, not far from Leling, and then send someone to inform Tian Shu of Nanpi to come to Anling to meet with him, first, to see Tian Shu's attitude, and secondly, to make their local forces better merge with each other, so that Gao Huan can reduce his losses, at least find a way to let Tian Shu pay money and food.
Gao Huan is not worried about the more than 30 separatist forces in Anling, because their strength is too small to become a climate. On the contrary, it is even more frightening that a big clan like Tian Shu is entrenched in the local area, forming an existence that can threaten the authority of the central government, and once such a person rises up, it is easy to cause a cascading effect, and it is not a rebellion of one county and one county, but a disaster for one state and one country. So this time, Gao Huan made up his mind to suppress, divide, and win over a wealthy family like Tian Shu.
As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Gao Huanfu came here, he must salute first and then the soldiers, talk to Tian Shu first, talk about the 36 separatist forces in Leling without fighting, and then use these small separatist forces to open the knife, kill the chickens and monkeys, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to Tian Shu, as for the bandits in the county and other places, they are not in Gao Huan's sight at all, and they can be dealt with by sending some people at will.
