Chapter 268: The East is Sparsely Populated
PS: The second update at 12 o'clock. Ask for a monthly pass in the new month, dear friends!
The raindrops flowed down Ye Yingwu's cheeks, and before he stepped into the courtyard gate, Hui Niang had already slammed into his arms, as if only the chest he was deeply embracing was the only warm support in the cold and dense wind and rain of early spring.
Because of the relatively strong wind, although he was holding an umbrella, Ye Yingwu's sleeves were actually soaked, so he opened his arms a little embarrassed at this time, but he didn't hug the person in his arms.
This is the 10th day of February in the early spring of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, because of the delay of the spring rain along the way, Ye Yingwu hurried and finally rushed to Zhenjiang Mansion a few days slower than planned. Only Yang Xu and Jiang Tie accompanied Ye Yingwu with two hundred personal guard cavalry, and the rest of the hundred battles were left in Ningguo Mansion by Commander Wu Chucai and Wang Jin, on the one hand, to wait for Ye Yingwu, and on the other hand, to avoid the gentle spring rain.
After all, neither the soldiers of the Tianwu Army nor Ye Yingwu wanted to walk into Lin'an City, which should be full of flowers and glory, in such a bleak atmosphere.
Looking at Hui Niang who was trembling gently in his arms, Ye Yingwu sighed secretly in his heart, he came this time to visit the town navy, and the second was for Wang Anhe's affairs, I didn't expect that his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, was really stubborn, and now no one knows if he is really crazy or fakely crazy, even if Wang Anhe is normal, Guo Chang doesn't have the guts to really send Wang Anhe to prison, it's just that he usually scares and scares him. After all, in the final analysis, whether you recognize it or not, this is Ye Yingwu's genuine old Taishan.
Regardless of whether you want to consider the feelings of the envoy, Guo Chang also has to consider Wang Qinghui's feelings, if he tortures Wang Anhe, he will undoubtedly offend the youngest wife and concubine around Ye Yingwu, after all, everyone will have a long life in the future, Guo Chang is not the kind of person who is stupid and doesn't care about anything, otherwise he would not be able to sit so safely in the position of the general judge of Zhenjiang Mansion, Jinyiwei and the leader of the six gates.
Lu Wanyan and Qiqin came up from behind, looking at Hui Niang in Ye Yingwu's arms, they couldn't help but show a gloomy look on their pretty faces.
"Hui Niang, it's good to let someone change her clothes first, this dress is wet on your body." Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly and said softly, he didn't know when his clothes were soaked, I don't know if it was rain or tears, this little girl seems to be like a tear gourd, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I've cried these days. Hui Niang hummed softly, lowered her head and slowly stepped aside, but did not speak.
"Husband." Lu Wanyan and Qiqin joined forces to greet them.
Ye Yingwu smiled at them and went to the house to change clothes first. And Qiqin gently tugged Wanniang's sleeve, Lu Wanyan was stunned, and hurriedly glanced at Yang Su who followed behind, and then followed Qiqin into the house with Ye Yingwu, and Yang Su gently hugged Wang Qinghui and comforted her in a low voice.
"Hui Niang's diet and rest are still normal these days?" Ye Yingwu casually took the clothes handed over by Qingping, and did not need the clothes of a maidservant, and looked at Lu Wanyan, who gently covered the door.
"It's okay, but this girl obviously has something in her heart, and she hasn't seen a smiling face in many days." Lu Wanyan replied in a low voice, her eyebrows frowned slightly, after all, Ye Yingwu can't be blamed for this matter, and Wang Qinghui can't be blamed for this matter, if it's really weird, it can only be said that Wang Anhe is too stubborn, but in the end, he hurt Hui Niang.
Qiqin added: "Qing'er also told the concubine that Hui Niang hadn't read poetry books for a long time, and the pen and ink on the case had never been touched, and she was stunned by the window and on the couch all day long, and she didn't know who she was thinking about. The concubine and Wanniang are also difficult to channel. β
Ye Yingwu nodded, in the final analysis, is there something in his heart, this Wang Anhe is also, his only daughter is already a member of the Ye family, and a certain Ye Yingwu is not an incompetent person, this Wang Anhe is really unreasonable!
"Qiyu envoy, the commander of the four compartments of the Zhenhai Navy is General Su, Du Yu Hou General Zhang, and Zhenjiang Mansion Zhao Governor and Guo Tong judge to see!" Jiang Tie shouted outside.
These guys came very quickly, it is estimated that they have just gone north from Ningguo Mansion, and they already know the news, Ye Yingwu specially detoured to Zhenjiang Mansion, and the main thing is estimated to be Wang Anhe, this matter is very important, Zhao Wenyi, Guo Chang and Su Liuyi naturally dare not decide without permission, so I wish Ye Yingwu came over quickly.
"Husband, come over quickly." Lu Wanyan persuaded softly, "Don't let the generals wait for a long time. β
At this time, Ye Yingwu didn't care about parting thoughts with Wanniang and Qiqin, and hurriedly pushed the door and walked out, to see Hui Niang still standing under the corridor, looking at him quietly, and Yang Xu stood on the side a little helplessly, and when she saw Ye Yingwu come out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly pointed at Hui Niang, which meant that she had nothing to do about this stubborn girl.
Ye Yingwu suddenly felt a little big, but he still squeezed out a smile: "Hui Niangγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Before she finished speaking, Hui Niang suddenly knelt straight down!
"Hui Niang, what are you doing?!" Ye Yingwu was taken aback, and Yang Xu next to him also sighed, and the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to support Hui Niang, and Qiqin and Lu Wanyan had just turned out in the back, and they also walked over quickly when they saw this.
Hui Niang raised her head slightly, and there were faint tears flashing in the once poetic autumn pupils: "Husband, no matter what fault Daddy has, he is the closest relative of the slave in this world, even if he doesn't recognize this daughter, but she is still the slave's father, no matter what the husband wants to do, Hui Niang just begged the husband not to hurt his life, and asked the husband to promise Hui Niang, to be a cow and γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»a horse in this life."
"Enough!" Ye Yingwu, who was originally supporting Hui Niang, turned pale, and suddenly shouted coldly, his voice slowly contained anger, even people like Yang Xu who had experienced the bloody battlefield couldn't help but tremble slightly, obviously startled by Ye Yingwu's sudden anger.
And Jiang Tie in the back retreated far away, this kind of Ye family family affairs is not something that he, the commander of the personal guard, can participate in, and now the envoy is obviously angry, Jiang Tie still wants to go home and guard the bell and hug a big fat boy, the less he knows about such private matters, the better.
Hui Niang's delicate body trembled, and without Ye Yingwu's support, she once again fell to her knees on the cold stone steps. Ye Yingwu's face became more and more gloomy, and with a wave of his hand, although Yang Xu was helpless, he had to retreat cautiously, Lu Wanyan and Qiqin both frowned slightly, looking at their husbands, their eyes were full of worry.
Ye Yingwu squatted down and met Hui Niang's eyes, two lines of tears had already flowed down her snow-white cheeks, I don't know when, the face that had always been smiling was no longer bloody, and in the bleak wind and rain, the thin body trembled more and more.
Stretched out his hand to gently wipe the tears on Hui Niang's cheeks, but the tears were like springs, no matter how he wiped them, he couldn't wipe them away, Ye Yingwu could only sigh softly, and said in a low voice: "Hui Niang, do you know, what does your father want to do when he comes to Zhenjiang Mansion this time, he wants to rebel against Zhao Governor's Mansion and let Zhao Governor stab a certain person at a critical time, you must know that a certain family member is in Zhenjiang Mansion, if it is controlled by your father, not only will a certain person throw a mouse taboo, but also maybe the victory won by tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tianwu Army with blood and sacrifice before, will be erased by Jia Yidao as a condition of compromise. None of this happened, but your father knows exactly what he's here for, and what γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» he's going to do."
Hui Niang was stunned, Ye Yingwu didn't mean to stop, and still said slowly: "But your father still came without hesitation, came to this Zhenjiang Mansion, and was ready to fall into a state of no return." This is a stab in the heart of his son-in-law, and he has no mercy in this, and have you ever thought about what he would do if a certain family member and the family of the town admirals were controlled by your father, would he let go of these women and children, the old and weak? Your father was eager to die in Pingjiang Mansion at the beginning, how could he be merciful this time. β
"Husbandγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Hui Niang said softly, with thousands of needles piercing the heart.
Ye Yingwu sighed: "Come, get up, there are some things that Guo Chang can't find out clearly, and only a certain can explain it to you." But since he is your father and a certain father-in-law, Lao Taishan, he can't really do anything to him after all, don't worry, with your husband here, this day can't fall. As for what makes cattle and horses, this is not something that Ye Yingwu's wife and concubine should say. Being a cow and a horse, what do you think of someone who shares a bed with you? He also became a brute. β
Hui Niang's face finally recovered some blood, and she couldn't help but bared her teeth, Ye Yingwu's promise obviously made her feel that the whole world was bright again: "Well, don't talk about it in the future, you actually got so angry, and you almost didn't scare the concubine to death." β
Looking at Hui Niang's exposed two cute little tiger teeth, Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes, helped her up, and stretched out his hand to gently pat the dust on the skirt: "Wan Niang, Qin'er, beckon someone to get Hui Niang some mending her body, if this small body doesn't grow up, it won't be a loss."
Lu Wanyan and Qiqin hurriedly supported Hui Niang left and right, and when they walked past Ye Yingwu's side, Lu Wanyan gently stretched out her hand and twisted it fiercely on the soft flesh of Ye Yingwu's waist, not least because Ye Yingwu scared them just now, or because Hui Niang just showed a smile and her husband began to flirt with impropriety.
Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth and endured this, but as a retaliation, he also took a handful on Wan Niang's ****, and then glanced at Jiang Tie behind him, Jiang Tie hurriedly lowered his head and followed, and Ye Yingwu commanded Yang Xu again: "Su Niang, you also follow to see Hao Huiniang." β
ββββββββββββ-
"Subordinates see the envoy!" When the four people in the council hall saw Ye Yingwu coming out, they hurriedly stood up and said, after all, since Ye Yingwu returned to Xingzhou last time, these civil and military officers who stayed in Zhenjiang Mansion have not seen their own envoys.
Ye Yingwu nodded: "The old people from the east are sparsely populated, only when I arrive in this Zhenjiang Mansion can I feel that Huo Ran is at home, several of them have lost weight, it seems that they are not idle in this Zhenjiang Mansion." β
The four of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing. Su Liuyi patted his chest and said with a smile: "What the envoy said is really true, the last general and General Zhang also took the town navy to Huaibei for a while, and lost everything here to the prefect of Zhao and Guo Tong, if the envoy sees Zhang Shun, then the kid is really black and thin, and he doesn't look like he is in control at all!" β
"You fought well in Huaibei, this time the court gritted its teeth and gave a lot of rewards, and in order to thank the town navy for helping, Huainan Li Anfu also gave a lot of rewards in private, and you took a big advantage when you left." Ye Yingwu smiled and teased, "This time can be regarded as a tempering for the town navy, congratulations to the two generals, it was completed successfully!" β
Thinking of the series of bloody battles and thrilling battles of wits and courage on the line from Lianhai to Wuhekou, Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and they all bowed their hands to Ye Yingwu, and said in unison: "The town navy is fortunate not to be dishonored. β
Ye Yingwu's face was also gradually solemn: "But this time the casualties in Huaibei are not small, so the soldiers who died and died must be compensated more, Zhenjiang Mansion is not as good as Xingzhou, it belongs to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River that has not yet experienced the war, it is not realistic to distribute land like Xingzhou, you can consider increasing the reward, if the reward of the imperial court is not enough, although it is reported here, Zhenjun is also the son of the Tianwu Army, no one can be partial and sit idly by!" β
Glancing at Zhao Wenyi and Guo Chang, Ye Yingwu continued: "Governor Zhao, you and Zhen Haijun have a good discussion on this matter. Second, this time the Huaibei Town Navy has suffered a lot of losses, although part of the reason is that it is the first time to go to the battlefield, but since there is already the help of the flying thunder cannon, more than half of the division is still lost, how this battle is fought, you all have to think about it, and you don't ask for anything else, and you can't repeat the mistakes of the past when the town navy goes into battle next time! β
The four people present were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they did not hesitate to give it up at the moment.
"Put these things aside for now," Ye Yingwu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "You came so neatly this time, I don't think it's because I haven't seen you for a long time." Since Wang Anhe was able to go all the way to Zhenjiang Mansion, it shows that the six doors have a big loophole in Jiangnan. β
Guo Chang hurriedly stood up and said: "Returning to the envoy, the Imperial City Division now has a faint attitude of revitalization, and the six gates are still struggling to support in the Pingjiang Mansion under the leadership of Yang Lao, but the sons of Jiaxing Mansion, Huzhou and other places have to all withdraw, but the subordinates and Li Changxi Brother Li have opened up the relationship between Qingyuan Mansion last time, and now the six gates can rely on Qingyuan Mansion and Yizhou to develop to the south, so as to form a siege of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. β
Ye Yingwu nodded, Guo Chang was obviously a lot darker than the last time I saw him, and he had lost a lot of weight, obviously he had been busy in the past few months, after all, there was Jia Rudao standing behind the Imperial City Division, and it was a little difficult for the six doors to fight against the Imperial City Division in Jiangnan with the Zhenjiang Mansion, so Ye Yingwu was still very understandable about Guo Chang's helplessness.
Since the Tianwu Army passed through Raozhou and entered the Jiangnan East Road, Ye Yingwu has been able to clearly feel the strangeness, perhaps for the people in the city, the victorious division of the Tianwu Army can arouse their great interest, but this interest only lasts for a day or two, after all, for these Jiangnan people, Xiangyang is really too far away.
And such a mighty transit of the Tianwu Army is not something to celebrate for the officials in the city, when they see the military columns and military might of the Tianwu Army, most of the officials are trembling, and it is not bad to be able to barely maintain their composure in front of Ye Yingwu. And those officials of the Jia Rudao party, while showing a look of fear, can no longer hide their hatred and jealousy.
The East is sparsely populated, Ye Yingwu has really felt lonely, maybe only the five thousand heavenly martial arts army can give him some comfort in his heart. It was not until he arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion that Ye Yingwu had been pressing on his heart that the heavy feeling he had been pressing finally dissipated, after all, here in and outside the city were all loyal to his sons, and the people standing in front of him were also his most trusted civil and military!
It seems that it is not without benefit to turn Jiangnan upside down at the beginning, at least the two nails of Zhenjiang Mansion and Zhenjun have allowed Ye Yingwu to have a reliable backing at least in Jiangnan, even if you are fighting in Lin'an, you can still calmly retreat to Zhenjiang, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and now Ye Yingwu is not just the three caves, Xingzhou is the base camp, Zhenjiang is the frontier facing Jia Nidao, Xiangyang is the frontier facing the Mongolian Tatars, and Yizhou is the foundation of the real corner, In addition, Longxing Mansion's own father is a good haven, not to mention the Bailuzhou Academy in Jizhou, Hezhou Zhang Jue, and Luzhou Gunda, who obviously have a leg with Ye Yingwu, I don't know if Ye Yingwu has run a huge system.
However, these are still too few, with less territory, fewer people, and fewer resources! Ye Yingwu subconsciously looked back at the map behind him, his eyes revealing a fine light, like a tiger that had found a new prey, eyeing it fiercely.
"Envoy?" Guo Chang couldn't help but shout softly, Ye Yingwu was stunned, then he knew that he didn't know if he was distracted, and then he reached out and patted it lightly at the place of Qingyuan Mansion, and then nodded:
"Well, I was thinking about the six doors just now, let's talk about Wang Anhe first, is this father-in-law still not opening his mouth?" (To be continued.) )
