Chapter 192: General White Hair
In the northeast of Weicheng, Weishui is like a belt, with undulating hills. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Standing on a high place and looking at the west bank of Weishui, the peaks are stacked and green, lush and green. Gaozu's Changling, Emperor Hui's Anling, Emperor Jing's Yangling, the three imperial tombs arranged in the shape of a pin, and even the Maoling of Emperor Wu and the Pingling of Emperor Zhao in the distance are also faintly visible.
The Weishui waves under the mountain to the east, and the opposite bank is the feng shui treasure land where the emperors lie down. Looking at Chang'an in the south, it is as majestic as a mountain. Such a place is comparable to the Victoria Shan of Hong Kong in later generations. It is conceivable that those who can build houses and courtyards here must be rich and expensive.
As the richest man in Chang'an, the Marquis of Fuping must have more than one estate here. In the past, this manor was a summer retreat for the Marquis of Fuping and the children of the Zhang family, but since last autumn, the back mountain of this manor has been sealed by Zhang's order, and no one is allowed to enter without an order.
But today, Zhang Fang not only came in person, but also invited two distinguished guests: Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang.
In the breezy pavilion on the top of the mountain, Zhang Fang was dressed in a green shirt, with fluttering ribbons, free and easy, and was smiling and pointing: "Ganhou, Chen Jun, how is the scenery here compared to Changshui and Xuanqu?" ”
Compared with the high-spirited spirit when he took office as the protector of the Western Regions, Gan Yanshou now, although he still looks so powerful, he obviously lacks a kind of sharpness and fierceness, the shell is still there, but the spirit is gone. Chen Tang is better, there are a few more wrinkles on his face, and the infectious energy of his smile is still there.
Chen Tang glanced at Gan Yanshou and said with a smile: "There is a clear stream in Changshui, and there is a palace in Xuanqu, both of which are good scenery, but they are not places where we can sit and drink and admire." The monarch is not as good as the prince. ”
Changshui is the station of Gan Yanshou, the captain of Changshui, and Xuanqu is the station of Chen Tang, the captain of the shooting sound. The location is not far away, near Kunming Pond, which is more than 20 miles away. There are many palace annexes there, and there is a naval army, and the scenery is so good that it is not under this place. It's just that Zhang Fang's Weicheng Manor, pavilions, pavilions, flowers and trees, and pine and cypress forests, is a resort for enjoying the cool and cooling off. And the two garrisons that are also stationed in the "scenic spot" are on the shore at the foot of the mountain, exposed to the sun and eating ashes, how can they compare? It's no wonder that Chen Tang wants to make fun of his friends with this.
Zhang Fang looked at Gan Yanshou's appearance and said with concern: "Gan Hou is fine, right?" ”
Or Chen Tang replied: "What can happen to this body?" can still kill a big worm, but it's just a little depressed. I can see it, but the bones of this body are ...... missing."
Chen Tang was right, Gan Yanshou's physical condition was there, and it was not much worse, but his mental state was lacking. Chen Tang's mentality was much better and he could see it, but when he was on the western expedition, his arms were cold, and he suffered from the sign of "wind paralysis", that is, rheumatoid arthritis, and he was in unpleasant pain on a rainy day.
These two expeditionary generals, one is in good health but is mentally decadent, and the other is mentally but in bad health. And all of this is inseparable from the expedition back then.
Zhang Fang looked left and right, these two were only forty years old, and their sideburns had a little gray hair, and they couldn't help sighing. He doesn't know too much about the outcome of these two famous generals in history, but as far as I can see now, the practice of the imperial court is the rhythm of turning treasures into waste.
Who is Chen Tang? Chisakoma! Who is Gan Yanshou? Miles of Tiger! Such two generals, instead of putting them on the border and fighting where they are most needed, and giving full play to their value, but instead raising them in captivity, is really a heart-wrenching waste! It's a pity that in the Yuan Emperor Dynasty, he didn't have the right to speak, so he could only wait patiently for the opportunity - not only himself, Gan Yanshou was like this, but Chen Tang should also be like this.
Zhang Fang knew that he couldn't do anything at the moment, so he didn't say any meaningless words of comfort, only changed the topic and pointed to a place in the villa: "Ganhou is good at governing the army, look at how that team of house slaves practice." ”
Gan Yanshou had noticed that in a flat open space under the hillside, there were five rows of teenagers, a total of fifty people, holding long sticks, practicing under the scorching sun. Fifty people lined up in a neat phalanx, replacing spears with sticks, and practiced assassination. There were only two sect heads, also teenagers, holding whips with their arms crossed, staring at the shade of a tree not far away. As soon as you see someone who moves erratically or is a little slow, you will be whipped when you step forward.
Chen Tang's eyes flashed: "This is the house slave of the prince?" ”
Zhang Fang smiled: "Yes." ”
Gan Yanshou pointed at the two sect leaders: "This is the pair of brothers, right?" What is it called...... Han?"
Chen Tang smiled: "Han Jun, Han Chong." ”
"Oh, yes, yes." Gan Yanshou deeply admired the memory of this old partner, "It is still a good memory." After looking at it carefully for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a bit military." The prince trained these house slaves, could it be ......"
Zhang Fang didn't hide it from these two people who knew the roots, and pointed westward.
Gan and Chen nodded at the same time, they both knew about Star City. It's just that I didn't expect that after returning to the Han Dynasty, inheriting the title, and enjoying the years in the rich nest of Chang'an, I couldn't wear off the spirit of this young Fuping Marquis, and I was still actively preparing to go west again!
"If he goes west again, these house slaves will be the only guardians." Zhang Fang formally saluted Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang, "I invite you two to come over today, just let you check for me." ”
Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou glanced at each other, and laughed in unison: "I waited for the prince to invite a banquet, but I was afraid that our two old bones would be idle!" ”
Amid laughter, the three of them walked out of the pavilion together and walked down the mountain.
Well, today's invitation to Gan and Chen to come to the villa for a banquet is indeed a combination of leisure and work, and one of the purposes is to let these two soldiers check their future Hu slave team.
At present, there are 72 young men and women in this training camp, mainly the Han brothers, Chu Liu and Qingyan are in charge, Deng Zhan sometimes goes to guide, he is born in the army, and military training is his strength. The sixth junior high cavalry is outstanding, and Deng Zhan is far behind, and he is the best cavalry and archery instructor. Whether it is the Han brothers or Qingyan, although they are all teenagers, compared with most of their peers in this era, their experience and vision are far from being comparable to their peers. Their expedition was not in vain, and they gained from the method of marching and camping, and the way of arranging troops. I don't dare to say anything else, it's still okay to train this group of teenagers.
Gan Yanshou was born in the real Yulin Lang, and he was very good at training, and he practiced Hu Bing (Changshui Captain mainly commanded Hu Cai) on the Changshui side and was depressed. At this moment, seeing these young men in a strict formation is like seeing the "Yulin orphans" in the early years (when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted the descendants of the fallen soldiers due to the Han-Hungarian war into the Yulin and taught them various military skills, called Yulin orphans), I was quite happy. Regardless of the identity of the liege, he rolled up his sleeves and took Han Chong's whip, drove him away, and went into battle by himself.
Zhang Fang and Chen Tang looked at each other with a smile in the shade of the tree, pointing and pointing from time to time.
At this time, the sixth day of the first month came and handed over a silk book, saying that it was sent from the house.
Who is so anxious to send silk books? Zhang Fang opened it curiously, and wrote two lines of Han Li: "On the day of Duanyang, the smoke and rain pavilion gathers." The payment is "Ji Zi Yu Tian".
Duanyang, that is, the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still three days. Dragon Boat Festival party? Smoke and Rain Pavilion?
Zhang Fang closed the silk book, well, a little interesting.
