Qinyuan Spring

- Wen Tianxiang

Die filial piety for the son, die loyalty for the minister, why die? Since Guangyue is divided, there is no full festival. The monarch and the minister are lacking, who bears the rigid intestines. scolded the thief Zhang Xun, loved Jun Xu Yuan, and left a reputation for eternity. The latecomer, the exercise of no two princes, the steel of a hundred refinements.

Life is a passing day. It's a big deal. So that at that time, he betrayed the country, surrendered willingly, was reviled by others, and lived in peace? The ancient temple is gloomy, the appearance is elegant, and the dead wood jackdaw is a few sunsets. Under the post booth, there is a traitor who has passed here, thinking carefully.

May 23 of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiangnan West Road, Xing**, Yongxing County.

The red sun hangs in the eastern sky, and the mighty river is already shrouded in the warm sun.

This is a sign that the southern summer is coming, but fortunately, the two Song Dynasty is in the Xiaoice period, and the temperature of the entire earth is dropping, far less hot than seven hundred years later, so for the summer without air conditioning and ice cream, Ye Lingjun said that he can barely accept it.

Gusts of warm wind swept the trees and flowers in the yard, the bell sat under the corridor, and a maidservant girl hurriedly ran over, attached to the ear of the big girl in the backyard of the Ye family, and whispered a few words, the bell raised her eyebrows, couldn't help blinking, and then Huo Ran got up and walked to the courtyard surrounded by small bridges and flowing water. The two maidservants standing outside the courtyard saw the big maid coming over and hurriedly saluted.

"Let's go and urge the envoy and the lady, they are already on the third pole in the day, and several adults outside have arrived." The bell commanded softly, and there was a touch of urgency on his pretty face, and he didn't know what his envoy and his wife were doing.

—————————————————————————————

Bead curtain curtain, carved beams and painted buildings.

In his past and present lives, he was an out-and-out "second generation", Ye Yingwu would not be so high as to vacate the magnificent courtyard decorated by himself, and fight a bloody battle on the front line, if he comes back and doesn't enjoy this garden-style residence, how can he be sorry for himself?

What's more, those officials who served here before did not sell their belongings and demolish these carved houses when they left, but obediently handed over the title deeds to their successors, which naturally meant to please the Yanyan Zhugong on Jiangnan West Road.

In the curtain, a jade arm stretched into the brocade and pushed the man who was sleeping very improperly, Qiqin frowned slightly, and said softly: "Husband, it's not early, let's get up quickly, the maids in the bell outside don't know how to look at the joke of the concubine." ”

Ye Yingwu snorted comfortably, suddenly turned around, and almost touched the book in Qiqin's hand, and after a while, Ye Eryan said lazily: "Stealing half a day's leisure, Lao Tzu doesn't go to work today." ”

"Going to work?" Qiqin was stunned.

Realizing that he had missed his mouth, Ye Yingwu replied without blushing or beating his heart: "Oh, it's when I was in Lin'an, the brothers ······ together."

Even if you don't talk about Qiqin, you understand that these Zijing Street Tigers can only be a scourge when they go to the street, but I really haven't heard of this Jingjie Tiger on the street, which was originally called "going to work", Qiqin is a smart woman in Bingxue, and she knows that either she is lonely or Ye Yingwu doesn't want to tell the truth, so she simply doesn't ask anymore.

"Bang bang" There was a knock on the door outside, and then a servant girl walked behind the screen and said softly: "The envoy and the lady, it is already three poles in the sun, and Sister Bell said that several adults outside have already arrived, please make the king go quickly." ”

Qiqin couldn't help blushing, and Ye Yingwu, who was peeking with his eyes slit, was warm in his heart, but when he saw Qiqin's eyes turned, Ye Eryanei quickly closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep. Seeing that he slept soundly, Qiqin sighed softly helplessly, and his beloved couldn't wait to press up half of his body, but Qiqin couldn't move.

"Husband? My dear? Envoy? Qiqin patted Ye Yingwu softly, "Several adults outside have already come, get up." ”

Ye Yingwu knew that he couldn't lie in bed anymore, so he could only sit up helplessly, Qiqin hurriedly put on clothes for him, and the maidservant who came to inform him was also very interested and hurriedly handed Ye Zhijun's coat forward. Ye Yingwu glared at the timid maidservant fiercely:

"Next time, wait until the sun is four poles before shouting, do you understand?"

Where has that servant girl seen the gentle and pleasant Lord Envoy Jun on weekdays so coldly frowned, and almost didn't sift the chaff at the moment, but fortunately, Qiqin chuckled and waved her hand to let her step down, and then personally served Ye Envoy Jun to change his clothes:

"The husband is already a knowledgeable soldier of Xing**, and since he should lead by example, it is no longer right to get up so late today. If you let your parents-in-law know, you don't know how to punish your concubine. Even if the husband doesn't want to be a good official, he has to think about the concubine. ”

Ye Yingwu kissed Qiqin's pretty face and rolled his eyes: "Okay, for Qin'er's sake, Lord Ben has to be paid." ”

Seeing Ye Yingwu rolling his eyes and smiling evilly, Qiqin twisted him lightly, and then obediently tied Ye Yingwu's belt.

The door that the maidservant had taken with her when she left was blown open by the wind, making a slight noise. Ye Yingwu looked at the young man in the blue robe and the eyebrows in the bronze mirror, there was a big battle in jute, and the wisps of immaturity between the gestures of this twenty-year-old young man had been wiped out, but it was just a simple blue robe and green scarf, but it set off a trace of ruthless domineering, as if to flatten all the opponents in the world.

"How's this one?" Qiqin laughed softly, her eyes flowing, her eyes were full of affection, and she looked at the beautiful man in the bronze mirror.

Ye Yingwu nodded with a big grin, and seemed to be very satisfied with his image: "You eat breakfast first, I will go out to meet them, I can't make everyone wait for a long time." ”

"Hmm." Qiqin stretched out her hand to help him smooth his shirt again, and the Oiran who was drunk that day was no longer to the Hongchen woman, but more like a gentle little wife.

Enjoying the gentleness and thoughtfulness that he did not have in his previous life, Ye Yingwu walked out with a smile, looking at the door that had been blown open by the wind, Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and then said to Qiqin behind him with a meaningful smile: "The south wind is gradually rising, the south wind is gradually rising." ”

Qiqin was stunned and nodded slowly.

The south wind is gradually rising, the wind and clouds are surging, how can the world be calm?

—————————————————————————————

Ye Yingwu did not wear a purple official uniform according to the rules, but put on a green robe very casually, and his hair was only tied with a turban, and walked into the lobby of the meeting in a leisurely manner. Knowing that this envoy is still a serious person when he goes to the battlefield, he looks like a child on weekdays, so even Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde, who have always been very strict with their appearance, only frowned slightly, as for Zhang Shijie and the others, they naturally turned a blind eye.

Looking around, it is really all the people who have arrived, from Zhang Shijie, the commander of the two Huai capitals, to Ma Tingyou and Guo Huai, who are in charge of logistics, all the generals of the Tianwu Army and several backbone generals of the two Huai Water Divisions are gathered together, and there is no shortage of big people like the "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty", and there is no shortage of them, Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly and found that these three future big men were already sitting there, and it was really fate.

Perhaps knowing that this envoy played an irreplaceable role in the entire jute battle, and indeed poured his heart and soul into the victory of the entire jute battle, even the two Huaishui division generals who were not subordinate to Ye Yingwu did not have the slightest objection to this Ye envoy's tardiness, and the gaze that looked at him was still admiration and admiration that had continued all the way.

There are two chairs in the lobby, one for Zhang Shijie and the other for Ye Yingwu. According to his official position, Zhang Shijie is the governor of Huangzhou, and the administrative status of Huangzhou is higher than Xing**; According to the resume, the two Huaishui divisions are all absolute first-class first-class water division generals, and the Tianwu Army is only a local army establishment after all; According to age, Zhang Shijie is older and Ye Yingwu's brother-in-law, so the two can't sit on an equal footing anyway, but Zhang Shijie still didn't hesitate to move Ye Yingwu's chair to the same position as himself.

Of course, this kind of "meeting" of Jiang Wanli's one-party small group, unrelated personnel naturally cannot participate, such as Cheng Yuanfeng, who was sick after a long journey and was on the front line, and Fan Wenhu, who escaped from the battle but did not receive any punishment.

"Ahem." Zhang Shijie coughed lightly twice, Ye Yingwu bowed his hand to these civil and military generals, and sat down unyieldingly, in fact, there is no need to be modest on this occasion, civil officials are basically their own people, and with those military generals, it is really disgusting to play falsely.

The council hall naturally sits north and faces south, and the sun shines into the hall, and the south wind blows.

Although Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde are civil officials, and their number is far less than that of military generals, but just these three people go there, and their momentum naturally surpasses the row of generals opposite, and the fierce murderous aura is different, these three people exude not only the usual bookish atmosphere, but also the unruly backbone, which is not only the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty has been softened several generations ago.

Wen Tianxiang, who was born as a champion, was faintly the head of the three, and when he saw Ye Yingwu and Zhang Shijie's eyes drifting over intentionally or unintentionally, Wen Tianxiang no longer hesitated, took a breath lightly, and waved his sleeves: "Qi two adults, during the war, Lord Xie will be responsible for the civil affairs of Xing**." ”

Hearing Wen Tianxiang mention his name, Xie Fangde did not hesitate at all, immediately stood up, and replied loudly: "During the period when the Tianwu Army and the two Huaishui divisions went north, the lower officials led the officials to inspect the counties to which Xing** belonged, and they have mastered the governance of county officials in various places. Therefore, Xia Guan believed that a certain number of people should be relocated from the inland state capitals of Jiangnan West Road. ”

It's just that Xie Fangde is definitely not a mediocre person, so Ye Yingwu is still more at ease with him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "A strong army is the guarantee for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and after the merger of the Tianwu Army and the Anji Army, the expansion of the army is inevitable······

Everyone below was shocked, and sat up straight intentionally or unintentionally, you must know that there is no clear indication of the will of the imperial court on whether the Tianwu Army will continue to maintain its current state or expand the army, but Jiang Wanli's party has already confronted the huge official eunuch group led by Jia Yidao, and they really don't care much about whether there is the will of the imperial court, so many generals are interested, more because they want to know how much Ye Yingwu will expand.

The expansion will naturally touch Jia Yidao's nerves, and it is impossible to predict what out-of-the-ordinary things this ruler will do when he is angry; And the expansion is less, the Tianwu army is still like the battle of jute, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must rely on God's protection, otherwise it is wishful thinking.

Seeing that the local financial management that was supposed to be good suddenly jumped to the core of the army expansion, Xie Fangde naturally had a black line on his face, and Wen Tianxiang, the head of the civil officials, couldn't help but smile bitterly, although the Great Song Dynasty valued literature and light the military, but in such troubled times when the soldiers were opposed, the military general's right to speak was sometimes even better than that of the civilian official.

Ye Yingwu's gaze swept over the many generals, some were expectant, some were worried, and some were hesitant, everyone's expressions could see through their inner thoughts at a glance, while the other three civil officials were still as solemn as they were just now. Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with military generals is always easier than civilian officials.

Looking at Ye Yingwu's two fingers slowly stretched out, Su Liuyi, who was sitting on one side, was stunned, and immediately spoke: "Isn't it too little to expand only two thousand people?" In front of the Mongol cavalry, these forces are just a drop in the bucket······"

Ye Yingwu smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's twenty thousand, and the Tianwu Army has expanded to twenty-five thousand men and horses, with five thousand people in each compartment, and a total of five compartments in the front, back, left, right, and middle." ”

"Shhh Even the three civil officials who looked solemn with solemn expressions couldn't help but take a breath lightly, before the Battle of Jute, the Tianwu Army and the Anji Army combined were only more than 12,000 people, but now they have expanded to 25,000 people all at once, more than twice as much, so that the traitor in the court must not be crazy?

Ye Yingwu is still very confident in the expansion of the army to such an extent, firstly, most of the state capitals at all levels on Jiangnan West Road are their own people, so they will not stumble on the money, and secondly, Wen Tianxiang's several uprisings in history were based on Jiangnan West Road, and countless Ganpo Erlang rose up to respond, so Ye Yingwu did not think that the entire Jiangnan West Road was only the original 6,000 young men of the Tianwu Army.

Now the rest of the Tianwu Army and the Anji Army have all experienced the test of bloody battles, so even if the army is expanded to more than 20,000 people, using veterans to bring new recruits can still make the soldiers of the Tianwu Army quickly become howling hungry wolves. This method Ye Yingwu had used it when he was training the Hundred Battles in Qingyuan Mansion, and the effect was still good, and the first time he faced the rolling Mongolian iron cavalry in the Battle of Jute, the Hundred Battles showed his strength that could not be ignored.

"What do you think?" Ye Yingwu looked at the increasingly quiet lobby and asked.

After all, the two Huaishui divisions were only friendly forces, so from Zhang Shijie and Xia Song to several other commanders, they all consciously set their sights on other places, and resolutely could not get involved in the internal affairs of the Tianwu Army. And the generals of the Tianwu Army and the Anji Army have been baptized by a big war, and they have seen countless brothers and sisters buried in their bones, especially the young generals of the Tianwu Army, which is an absolute tempering and test, even Zhang Cheng, who has always been cautious, does not want to object.

Those who oppose the expansion of the army can't afford to live with countless brothers in Paoze, who died in battle, and they have fallen one after another, in order to make the Tianwu army stronger and make the Great Song Dynasty more stable?

Jiang Hao and the others from Ye Yingwu's lineage glanced at each other and nodded slowly, and Yang Bao, who was the middle lineage of Ye Yingwu's lineage, naturally had nothing to say. Wen Tianxiang and other civil officials also knew what was at stake, so although Xie Fang wanted to persuade and oppose it, he was still pulled by Lu Xiufu on the side, and Xie Fang came back to his senses and hurriedly sat upright as before.

"Please ask Brother Song Rui to write a letter to report to the ministers of Longxing Mansion for the expansion of the army, and please deal with it as soon as possible, as many armor and weapons as you can, and ask if you can move the workshop north to Xing** on Jiangnan West Road." Ye Yingwu thought about it and instructed that although the workshop would be under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road, it was too far away from the Xing** and Huangzhou fronts.

Wen Tianxiang stood up and said: "Qi Yu Zhijun, after all, the workshop is the lifeblood of Jiangnan West Road, I am afraid that the princes of the Dao will not move it north to Xing**." ”

With a bitter smile helplessly, Ye Yingwu had to sigh that there are only three counties, and the territory is indeed a little smaller, but this is also a matter of no way: "Try it first, weapons and armor are one of the foundations of the army, if the weapons and armor damaged during the war are too late to replace, even if there are 100,000 male soldiers, what is the use?" The southern end of Xing** is Tongshan County, if possible, it can be placed here, after all, there are Dajiang and Tianwu Army and two Huaishui divisions in the north, even if you can't hold it, you have time to retreat. ”

"Yes." Wen Tianxiang saw that Ye Yingwu had made up his mind, so he no longer refuted.

Xie Fangde frowned, and immediately stood up: "Qiyu Zhijun, there is still a matter that the lower official has not reported in time, Xiaguan learned that the magistrate of Tongshan County was corrupt and bribed and oppressed the people during the inspection, but he has not found any evidence, not to mention that Jia Yufeng, the magistrate of Tongshan County, is the brother of Jia Yuqing, Jia Yuqing, the favored minister of Jia Rudao, so the lower official thinks that he should be cautious······"

Jia Yufeng? Ye Yingwu really has no impression of such a troubled little magistrate, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't dare to touch him. Jia Rudao still had the courage to plant nails on his own territory, if he hadn't been busy training the Tianwu Army before, he should have noticed that Jia Yufeng and Jia Yuqing were only one word apart.

Now that you're here, let's take a look over there. Ye Yingwu secretly thought, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he did not hide his somewhat hideous face at the moment, he was already incompatible, and there was no need to hide the strong hostility and murderous intent.

"In this case, tomorrow I will personally go to Tongshan to see what kind of skills this Jia Zhi County has." Ye Yingwu said coldly, "When the time comes, it will be troublesome for Lu Tongju to run errands with this official, and Yang Bao and Jiang Tie will go with a hundred battles." ”

Of course, Lu Xiufu stood up and arched his hand, Yang Bao and Jiang Tie also let out a loud voice, and their whole bodies seemed to bounce up, and they stood up straight: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

After thinking about it, Ye Yingwu immediately ordered: "Jiang Hao, Wang Jin!" ”

"The last general!"

"Lead the people of the headquarters and station in the north of Tongshan County."

"Zhang Cheng, Ma You, Guo Chang!"

"The last general!"

"Then I asked General Su to lead the three of them to guard Yongxing County in case of change."

Seeing that Ye Yingwu was mobilizing the army like a cloud, Zhang Shijie and Xia Song glanced at each other and were silent. A jute battle made Ye Yingwu more decisive and decisive, and since he decided to do it, he had no hesitation.

This order was issued, which means that the main force of the Tianwu Army has been pressed to the southern front, and the pressure on the two Huaishui divisions on the Dajiang defense line is undoubtedly increasing, but fortunately, now that summer is getting closer and closer, plus Ah Shu has just broken the halberd, with his cautious character, he will definitely not lead the army south to find a field so soon.

Seeing that there was also an irresistible force in Zhang Shijie's gaze, Xia Song didn't say anything, just stood up and nodded slowly.
