Chapter 196: Not a Hero or a Villain (Part II)
PS: Today's heavy rain in Sioux City, visit the tomb of Han Qi Wang Shizhong in the Southern Song Dynasty, the road is muddy, but when I go there, the rain stops, and when I leave, it is pouring down, as if I was specially asked to visit, fortunately, it is even indescribable.
Liangzhejiang West Road, Qingyuan Mansion.
Yang Shouming, the governor of Qingyuan Mansion, walked slowly on the bluestone street, the night was gloomy, but Yang Shouming didn't seem to care about this, with an unconcealable drunkenness on his face, and even had to hold on to the wall with his hands to be able to barely move forward.
The soldiers behind wanted to come up to support him, but Yang Shouming pushed him away. Yang Shouming looked up at the empty and unmanned streets, and couldn't help but smile helplessly at the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect that a certain Yang Shouming was once a character calling for wind and rain on this one-third of an acre, but now he has fallen to such a state, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous!
Before Ye Yingwu burned Cixi, Yang Shouming was also promoted, and he was still in joy, but after Ye Yingwu and Ye Mengding left, Jia Rudao and his party were very disgusted with this new official who obviously had a relationship with Ye Mengding, and found an excuse to demote Yang Shouming, who had made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits, to the jurisdiction of Qingyuan Mansion, but this time it was no longer the previous jurisdiction.
Yang Shouming's subordinates were replaced by all the people on the Jia Nidao side, and they didn't listen to Yang Shouming's dispatch at all, which means that now this dignified Qingyuan Mansion is a bare-bones commander. This is not counting, maybe it is because I feel that this helpless Tizhi who is left alone in Qingyuan Mansion is very easy to bully, and the officials of Jia Rudao and the party were naturally angry with Yang Shouming after being "destroyed in every way" by Ye Yingwu.
First of all, there was a fire in the house, his wife and children were burned to death, and then a lot of money was stolen and lost, Yang Shouming, who used to call for wind and rain in Qingyuan Mansion, soon became the person who is drunk every day, maybe it was the conscience to find it, or it was the most relieving to feel that it was the most relieving to toss people like this.
Who in the neighborhood didn't know that this Tizhi, who was kind to people on weekdays and made great contributions to Qingyuan Mansion, was actually framed, but everyone was small, and they could only try to help or could only look at Yang Shouming's lonely back and sigh.
Good people can't be rewarded!
Yang Shouming knew very well why he would be framed and excluded by these officials of the Jia Yidao faction, after all, Ye Mengding was in Qingyuan Mansion at the beginning. He used to fully support him, and he was very active in the suppression of bandits, and the consequence of this was to make Ye Yingwu, who had been inactive, soar into the sky, and now he hears the words "Ye Yingwu". Even Jia Yidao had an incomparably headache.
As long as he can prove that he did not collude with Ye Mengding at the beginning, everything will be fine, but he has no way to prove it, and there is no backer behind him, so it is reasonable to become this unlucky ghost.
Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the dark alley ahead. It's just that Yang Shouming, who was walking forward against the wall, just glanced at it obliquely with drunken eyes and didn't care. Anyway, now the half-dead are already like this, if you come to kill him, it will be a relief.
"But Yang Tiha?" The man in black bowed his hand respectfully, "My husband has invited Yang Tiha to meet, I don't know if Yang Tiha can appreciate his face?" β
Yang Shouming was a clever man, and the only one who could know himself was the one in the city, but he didn't have much impression of the man in black, and at the moment, Yang Shouming waved his hand at the soldier behind him. That pro-soldier was already tired of serving such a down-and-out Tishi, and he wanted to help him just now because he was afraid that Yang Shouming would really fall and he would really be unable to explain, and now he ran away like an amnesty.
Yang Shouming looked back at his back and smiled bitterly, and said softly after a while: "It's Yang Shouming, your master is so stingy, don't take the clear road, but want to drill this alley, but no one has invited a certain person for a long time, so what's the harm in going to a certain trip, but please lead the way." β
The man in black nodded slightly. Walk ahead without saying a word. As soon as the night breeze blew, Yang Shouming sobered up a lot, so he simply gritted his teeth and followed, he also wanted to see. What the hell is sacred, so mysterious, but what is the unseemly deed?
ββββββββββββββ-
Wen Tianxiang was not the only one who came in.
Xingzhou Tongju Lu Xiufu, Yongxing County Governor Xie Fangde, Daye County Governor Jiang Zheng, Tongshan County Governor Ye Yingji, Tianwu Army Front Carriage Commander Jiang Hao, Tianwu Army Central Army Commander Yang Bao, Six Doors Commander Envoy Zhang Cheng, General Manager of Tianwu Army Armor Grain and Grass and Transfer Matters Jiang Duo, it can almost be said that now the Tianwu Army in Xingzhou has come and gathered together.
Ye Yingwu looked at Wen Tianxiang, and after a long time, he ordered softly: "Sit down." There is no need to be so restrained, and a certain is not a man-eating monster. β
Jiang Hao and Zhang Cheng, who originally liked to mess with Ye Yingwu, now saw that Ye Yuanjun was so weak, but they were no longer in the mood to laugh and joke, everyone's faces were the same heavy, especially these generals showed a look of self-blame.
If they hadn't allowed the envoy to charge ahead, how could there be such a thing?!
"Song Rui, you tell me first, what is the situation now, and I also want to know what Ah Shu wants to do next." Ye Yingwu said softly, his voice was already hoarse on the bank of the water, and then he had a fever and was even more dumb, and he still had a faint pain and didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only keep his voice low as much as possible.
Wen Tianxiang nodded: "Now that the left carriage has been topped, the Mongolian Tatars have retreated all the way to Gwangju, but there are a full 30,000 foot cavalry mobilized to Suizhou." However, according to the current situation, Ashu doesn't like the possibility of going south, after all, after this battle, Ashu's troops that originally barely surpassed Xiangyang are once again overstretched, and it is really worth the loss to continue to divide troops to attack us. β
"Besides, Sichuan Shu and Zhenjiang?" Ye Yingwu said lightly, Ah Shu's reaction was expected, especially the Yingzhou Shui Shi, who had originally posed a great threat to him, could not say that the losses were not heavy this time, and it was the right thing to take this opportunity to send more scouts to the south bank of the Han River.
"The two Huai Mongol Tatars and the Huainan defenders have their own moves, but neither side has rashly attacked," Wen Tianxiang hurriedly replied, "but there were several lively battles in Sichuan and Shu, and Liu Quan's army was seriously injured last time, so after barely repelling the attack of General Gao (Gundam), just before General Zhang (Zhang Jue) arrived, he has been striding back to Tongchuan Mansion, and the Mongolian Tartars of Chengdu Mansion have moved when they heard the wind and marched to Dazhou. The two generals did not dare to fight, and they had already collected their troops and went south. β
This is expected, after all, now the forces of Sichuan and Shu have reached a rare balance, so no one should think about it. What the Song army and the Mongol army could do in the Sichuan-Shu battlefield was to contain each other, making it difficult for the other side to support Xiangyang.
However, this is not without benefits, at least because the number of troops in Sichuan and Shu has been sharply reduced, and Mongolia has to leave Liu Quan, a general, in Tongchuan Mansion to prevent the Song army from raiding and provoking, which also makes it difficult for Liu Quan to go north to meet Kublai Khan in the original history. Without Liu Chuan clearly pointing out the strength and weakness of the Song army in Xiangyang, Kublai Khan still had difficulty making up his mind to launch a decisive battle in Xiangyang. That is, Mongolia's national strength was not able to fully invest in the Xiangyang battlefield for a while.
In other words, if Ye Yingwu can grasp the opportunity that Mongolia has not yet come to the country, it is possible to completely press the balance of victory in the Xiangyang War to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Of course, this can only be regarded as a beautiful idea of Ye Yingwu at this stage, after all, the experience of thousands of years has shown that the times are always spiraling forward, so even if Liu did not come out of the key points of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan would understand sooner or later.
"Now it's all about trimming." Ye Yingwu commanded softly, "It seems that I need to stay in bed for a few days, so the affairs of the Tianwu Army and Xingzhou will fall on your shoulders, but the ceremony of commemorating the soldiers who died in battle." You can delay it for a few days and wait until you can get off the ground. In addition, Song Rui asked Zhenjiang Mansion to step up the training of the Zhenjiang Navy, and the Zhenjiang Prefecture Navy Division was ready to go west at any time. β
"Dare to disobey!" All the generals and officials bowed their hands and said.
Ye Yingwu smiled and nodded, he didn't know if he was really happy or just didn't want them to worry too much, as if he remembered something, Ye Yingwu turned to look at Ye Yingji: "Brother, the newly developed firearms still need to be strengthened, and they will be of great use in the future." β
Ye Yingji solemnly agreed, although he was Ye Yingwu's brother. But it is also the magistrate of Tongshan County, Xingzhou, with a heavy burden on him, and he doesn't have the kung fu to go up to ask for warmth when he stands here, so he can only secretly pray in his heart that this little brother who sees himself as big will get better soon.
"The New Year is just a few days away." Ye Yingwu closed his eyes and said softly, "This time flies quite quickly, I don't know if I feel like it's been eight monthsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned, eight months? It seems that it was eight months ago that Ye Yingwu and him went to Cixi. This vigorous curtain has just opened, right? Eight months ago, how could I have thought that I would be standing here at this moment, with Xingzhou behind me and the Tianwu Army?
"Let the soldiers have a good New Year, of course, the people can't be treated badly." Ye Yingwu said softly, "Is Xianchun coming in three years?" This year, I'm afraid it is destined not to be simple. β
couldn't help but show a wry smile, Wen Tianxiang and the others glanced at each other, Xianchun's three years are naturally not simple, obviously Ye Yingwu wants to fight with Ah Shu in Xiangyang, this year is about the battle between the two dynasties, how can it be simple.
"Let you have a good rest, and you will retire first." Don't dare to delay Ye Yingwu's rest any longer, Lu Xiufu took the lead, and the group of people left quickly, after all, there are still many things that need them to be busy after a big war, Ye Yingwu has become the shopkeeper, and they can't follow suit.
After waiting for Wen Tianxiang and others to leave, Lu Wanyan and Wang Qinghui walked in one after the other, and the four people in the back house were also divided into two shifts, Lu Wanyan and Wang Qinghui together, Yang Xu and Qiqin together, took turns to accompany Ye Yingwu.
"Husband said a lot more." Looking at Ye Yingwu, who was coughing gently, Lu Wanyan gently blamed, and the maid behind brought up the decocted Chinese medicine and water basin one by one.
"No, I can't say it." Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wang Qinghui handed the brocade cloth to Lu Wanyan, and Lu Wanyan replaced the brocade cloth on Ye Yingwu's forehead while whispering: "You are so disobedient, the concubine doesn't know what to say." Just now, a lot of people outside sent eggs or somethingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Ye Yingwu nodded slowly, and after all, he couldn't help but show a smug smile, which showed that the people of Xingzhou were worried about themselves. Being a man to do this job can actually be called "a blue sky".
"If it is sent, everyone will receive one, and it will mean it, otherwise the people will not be able to let it go." told Lu Wanyan, but Ye Yingwu found that Wang Qinghui, who was standing on the side, had a strange face, "What, Hui Niang, are you in trouble?" β
Wang Qinghui couldn't help but laugh out loud after all: "That's what Sister Lu did, you two are really husband and wife, you can all think of going together." β
Lu Wanyan suddenly said "ah": "You little girl." How to be open-mouthed. β
Before the words fell, he was going to screw Wang Qinghui.
Ye Yingwu watched the two of them frolic, shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Wang Qinghui: "Hui Niang, do you know that you and Sister Lu can be husband and wife." The main reason is that we have already had some in-depth communication, so if we can have some communication at any time, it is naturally normal for this husband and wife to be of the same heart. β
"You!" Wang Qinghui's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet fiercely, but she ran away quickly.
Lu Wanyan couldn't help but gently nudge Ye Yingwu. smiled: "It's already a dignified Ye envoy, how can you still be so open-mouthed." β
Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes: "You see that now that a certain capital has become like this, naturally you can only keep your mouth open, does the lady still want to be unobstructed?" Husband can also meet your requirements if you fight for this old life, after all, we are husband and wife. β
"Drink the medicine!" Lu Wanyan was helpless against this scoundrel, so she could only pick up the medicine bowl angrily, I am afraid that only the bitter potion can make him shut up, "Where do you say that there is such a Ye Envoy, and the people still say that you are a big hero." β
"Heroes?" Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Heroes may not be able to talk about it, after all, so-and-so really doesn't want to be a hero. Of course, if you want to say that someone is a villain, then you can't splash dirty water. β
It's not a hero, it's not a villain, it's even more impossible for you to say that he is an ordinary person, and in an instant, two words appeared in Lu Wanyan's heart, the hero, the hero of the troubled times!
Stunned, after a while, Lu Wanyan sighed softly: "Whether it's a hero or a villain, or something else is disturbing." Drink this medicine first. β
Anyway, he is Ye Yingwu, his husband, and the support of this small world. The Ye family and the Tianwu Army can't live without him after all.
ββββββββββββββββββ
Yang Shouming has completely come to his senses.
Sitting opposite him was the original rival, the one who had only one side, but Yang Shouming believed that he would never forget Li Si. Li Si is still wearing the same gray robe as he was at the beginning, but this gray robe is not washed cleanly, and there is both an ordinary and murderous atmosphere on his body, which makes it even more elusive to this former military advisor of the East Pole Island. What kind of person is he?
Sitting on Li Si's side is a younger man, with a white robe and jade belt, quite the style of everyone's ya, but Yang Shouming has not lived in vain for more than 30 years, and the temperament revealed by this young man's eyebrows is definitely not comparable to those who are majestic in Huajie Liuxiang on weekdays.
Li Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Sigh? Yang Shouming said with some uncertainty, and kept shaking his head trying to recall the name. It was this Li Si in front of him, commanding Zhang Mazi's pirate to come and go freely around Qingyuan Mansion, as if he was in a no-man's land, until Ye Mengding's father and son came, and finally subdued this pirate.
Before this, the Haikou led by Zhang Mazi and Li Si had always been Yang Shouming's confidant.
"I didn't expect Yang Tishi to remember so-and-so." Li Si laughed softly, "It is really an honor to be able to make Yang Tizhi remember it to this day. β
"You're looking for me?" Yang Shouming hesitated for a moment and then said, the smile in Li Si's voice made him understand very well that the other party was just a polite politeness, but he really regarded this as an honor. It's right to think about it, I'm just a down-and-out Tihar now, how can I afford it?
Li Si smiled and nodded: "That's right, it is Yang Tishi who is looking for." The one sitting next to him is Guo Tongju of Zhenjiang Mansion, to be precise, Guo Tong should be sentenced to find Yang Tizhi. β
Guo Chang raised his wine glass and said solemnly at Yang Shouming: "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to be lucky." β
"Guo Tong's judgment, Zhenjiang Mansion?" Yang Shouming was a little sluggish, muttering, as if he suddenly understood something, "You are Ye Yingwu Ye Zhizhou's people?" β
Yang Shouming is still very clear about Ye Yingwu's turmoil in Jiangnan this time, or he should be regarded as half of the affected victims now, if there is no way to do anything about Ye Yingwu, those people will not spread their anger on themselves.
"Yes." Guo Chang put down his wine glass, Zhenjiang Mansion is Ye Yingwu's territory, which is not a secret at all among people who occupy a high position slightly, so Yang Shouming broke it with a word, and there is no need for him to hide anything.
For such a straightforward man, it's better to be honest.
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, since you have all come to the door, let's talk about it." Yang Shouming said a little casually, "The way a certain is now, I can't help you if I think about it, but since they have all been forcibly made into Ye Yingwu's minions, it is the responsibility of a certain person to do something for you." β
Yang Shouming's words were filled with indescribable bitterness and sadness. Now that his family is ruined, and his subordinates have also been hollowed out, perhaps now defecting to Ye Yingwu is the only hope, which is what those officials of Jia Yidao's party forced him to make this decision.
Glancing at each other, Guo Chang and Li Si couldn't help but smile, such a result was also something they had already expected, Yang Shouming was cornered, there was no other choice, and those people had a grudge against him for killing his wife and burning the house, and the possibility of Yang Shouming's rebellion was also very small.
Guo Chang coughed lightly and spoke slowly. (To be continued.) )
