Chapter 807: There are still many folds of old age
Chapter 807: There are many old age and decaying folds
In April, even the weather in the north no longer feels a chill, and this is the most comfortable time of the year. It is neither hot nor cold, and it is even more pleasant when the refreshing wind blows. Although the trees on the land of Hebei are green, the vigorous vitality still makes people feel happy everywhere.
At this time, Jiangnan has already bloomed.
Snow is still falling in Saibei.
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, if you can have an instantaneous spell to look at, it is the most proud thing in life, even if it is just a look, it can also make people extraordinarily open-minded.
Last night, there was a fight, which added a bit of solemnity to the green scenery of the land. Yan Yunjun took advantage of the emptiness of the camp of the Qingzhang Xia Army and killed it in the night. There are not many soldiers and horses in the camp of the Qingzhang Xia Army, where can they stop the wolf-like Yanyun Army.
After only a burst of killing, the more than 10,000 Xia troops who stayed in the Qingzhang camp were defeated. The battle was not tragic, and there was not an hour from the beginning to the end. The Yan Yun army killed more than 2,000 enemies, and the remaining Xia troops all surrendered. Only a very small number of them disappeared into the darkness of the night, and did not know where they had fled.
After Qingzhang conquered, there was no danger in going to Zhaozhou. Wang Fubao took away the last main force of the Xia army, and even if the remaining cities wanted to resist, they were just mantis arms as a car. The war in Hebei, by this time, there was actually no suspense. As long as no miracle happens, even if Wang Roar ascends the throne and becomes emperor, how can he stop the nearly 600,000 Yanyun troops who have gathered in Hebei?
Spring is warm, willow green.
Li Xian pushed a wheeled cart that was built by craftsmen overnight, and on the cart sat Daxi Changru, who was already getting thinner. The two of them walked slowly along the bank of the Zhanghe River, the air by the river was cool and moist, and they felt very comfortable to breathe.
"Ann ...... Is there any news from the city of Zhaozhou? ”
"The news of the spies in the city can't be delivered, and the news brought back by the secret spies urgently sent over doesn't matter...... I can't find out about Grandpa and Aunt at all, but Wang Fubao's father and son are really impressive. At this time, he even thought about running back to Zhaozhou to seize power. ”
"It's really surprising that I fought Wang Fubao when I was in Dongping County. This person has the demeanor of a general, but he can't be trusted by Dou Jiande. When I first learned that Dou Jiande handed over all the military power to him, I was still worried, and I was afraid that one of the people and horses going north would accidentally fall into the hands of this person. But now it seems that there is nothing to worry about...... Even if their father and son take Dou Jiande's seat, what kind of turmoil can a lonely city in Zhaozhou make? ”
"When Grandpa and Aunt have news, I will accompany you back to Chang'an."
Li Xian said softly.
"Chang'an ......"
Daxi Changru was silent for a while and said: "Actually, I don't have any other thoughts about going back to Chang'an, I just want to go to the cemetery you built to see the old brothers back then." But then I thought about it, it's just a cold and lifeless tombstone, and it doesn't make a big difference whether you look at it or not, and sooner or later I have to go down to them to catch up with them, so looking at the cemetery is secondary...... These days, when I'm idle, I can't help but think about what I want to see the most. ”
Daxi Changru paused for a moment and smiled: "I thought of Honghua first, after all, that place is too deep in my heart. Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can dream of my old subordinates during the three-day bloody battle. But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to see there, and when the people are gone, what does it mean to see the battlefield......"
He turned his head to look at Li Xian and said: "What I want most in my heart is to go back to the nameless mountain on the south bank of the Xilamulun River to take a second look, and I don't know if there is still the village we built back then." ”
"It's too far for you to travel long distances now."
Li Xian persuaded.
"It's okay...... I know my own body, I know it myself. I can't die until I see everything I want to see. ”
Daxi Changru said: "When your grandfather and Hongfu have a letter, you can accompany me on a trip." There are Du Ruyan Fang Xuanling Cheng Mingzhen in Chang'an City, and there is nothing worth worrying about. The war in Hebei, as you said, one Xu Shiji is enough for the Wang father and son to be exhausted. While you haven't sat down in that chair yet, you can walk around with me when you have time. ”
"Don't dare to disobey."
Li Xian smiled: "I hope that after a trip to the place where you lived before, your body will get better." ”
"Let's go and see Ashina Duoduo girl."
Daxi Changru smiled and said, "I know that you miss her, and she is only afraid and looking forward to your going." Liu Hongji and Luo Yi can't always float outside, and the matter in Saibei can be solved as soon as possible. The whole grassland is in a mess with one Zamuhe, and since it has interfered, it must be inserted more thoroughly...... If it is possible, set up a yamen in the grassland, and the girl Duoduo has the same heart as you, and she should not object. ”
"And the Ashina association rate."
Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Duoduo wants to support Ashina's association rate to take the position. ”
"Do you really think Master's old eyes are dizzy?"
Daxi Changru glanced at Li Xian and said, "Obviously it's a girl, but it's hard to hide it." But look at that baby, her body can't hide anymore, and she feels that she is hiding it well all day long! With red lips and white teeth, where does he look like a man. ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "She is willing to cheat herself, so let's lie." ”
"It's decided, when your grandpa and aunt leave Zhaozhou, we will go north...... In the first half of my life, I fought countless fierce battles with the Turks, and when I was dying, I went to the steppe again...... It's best to soak a few pees outside the Golden Tent of the Royal Court, and then find a stone to write about your visit. ”
Daxi Changru said with a smile.
"Domineering!"
Li Xian also laughed, but his eyes were full of worry.
……
……
For half a month, there was no trace of Dou Jiande and that Dao Gu, which made Wang roar almost angry, and I don't know how many teacups he dropped and how many subordinates he scolded in the past few days. Dou Jiande took advantage of the night to escape from Wanchun Palace that night, and he still hasn't found out how they got out.
As for that Dao Gu, there was no news at all.
How could the new emperor, who had already set the name of the country as the Great Zhou and ascended the throne as the emperor, could the new emperor with the year name Jiatong endure this humiliation? When he was in the city of Zhaozhou, the people who humiliated him the most were the two women, Empress Cao and the Dao Gu, in addition to the officials of the military department.
Empress Cao was humiliated by the soldiers, and she did not say where Dou Jiande went until she died. In a fit of rage, the king let Queen Cao be tortured to split the car, and the corpse was fed to the dogs. Sent people to arrest all the people in the city who had anything to do with Empress Cao, and within three days, they actually cut off more than 400 heads at the entrance of the vegetable market.
If it weren't for Pei Ju's hard persuasion, Wang Yan said that he would not have killed all the officials of the entire Great Xia court.
As soon as Wang Fubao died, although the generals in the army occasionally doubted, they had not yet suspected Wang Yan, and there was no trace of evidence, and the generals brought out by Wang Fubao could not say anything. In order to win the hearts of the people, Wang Roar gave these people a very heavy reward, so he took over the military power quite smoothly.
Xiahou, who was in charge of the 100,000 defenders of Zhaozhou, refused to let it, because of his great merit, he was named the founding prince, 1,500 households, and gave him a gold medal for avoiding death, but he took away the military position of the garrison general, and the 100,000 defenders of Zhaozhou were also dismantled by Wang Roar to reorganize and reorganized, and all his own lieutenant generals and colonels were assigned to lead the troops.
The change of power in the dynasty went smoothly, but no one could be caught so that Wang Yan could not be at peace day and night.
Shun Peng Inn is still barely operating, in addition to the daily officials will come to check it, but it is a little deserted and a little terrible, because the entrance and exit control of the city gate of Zhaozhou is extremely strict, and the old customers who live in the Shun Peng Inn simply choose to stay, and wait for the city to be more peaceful before leaving.
The big man who had chartered the entire upper room on the second floor had stayed at home these days, and had never left the inn since the rebels entered the city. The shopkeeper inquired, it turned out that on the day of the rebellion, several of the men under the big man were separated and did not come back, thinking that they had suffered a military disaster, and they might be buried in a mass grave at this time.
When encountering this kind of thing, the shopkeeper has no other way but to sigh.
Fortunately, there are still these old guests, otherwise Shun Peng Inn would not be able to open. People near and far know that there is a war disaster in Zhaozhou, who would dare to run here?
There were not a few pedestrians on the street, all of them were Da Zhou soldiers patrolling by.
It was noon, and most of the people living in the inn were eating in their rooms. Dozens of men under the big man sat in the lobby to eat and drink, but the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and the drinkers couldn't mention any nature, most of them were eating with their heads bored, and there was no conversation between them.
At this moment, a woman carrying a package came in from outside the door. He looks like he is in his forties, and he really can't be complimented. The waist is as thick as a bucket, and although he walks deliberately stiff, he can see that he is a little lame.
The woman looked at the door and then sat down at a table with fewer people.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of rice and stir-fry two side dishes."
The woman was unrestrained, and after sitting down to ask for food, she asked, "Do you have a room?" ”
A thin old man sitting at this table eating glared at the woman impatiently, and snorted coldly: "I don't know if I have long eyes, can't I see that someone is sitting here!" ”
The woman ignored him, and waited for the rice dishes to come up and devoured them. I accidentally knocked off the chopsticks while eating, and when I bent down to pick them up, I took the opportunity to twist them on the legs of the thin old man.
"Wang Qinian, if you dare to shout at your aunt, you will be castrated now."
This extremely low voice suppressed Wang Qinian's screams, and when he heard this, Wang Qinian almost cried: "Aunt ......"
The white-faced man sitting next to him hurriedly said, "Let her sit here." ”
Night
In Zhang Zhongjian's room, Wang Qinian couldn't help crying: "My aunt and grandmother...... You're finally back, you look at what I've been anxious about these days, I can't eat or sleep, I'm so thin and out of meat. ”
Zhang Wancheng, who was still wearing a human skin mask, smiled and said, "You don't have any meat anywhere except for that mouth." ”
Zhang Zhongjian was still a little excited and couldn't help himself, and he poured two sips of wine in a row before he came to his senses: "Wancheng, how did you come out of Wanchun-Palace?" ”
Zhang Wancheng smiled and said: "It's lucky, I thought I would have to pretend to be a palace maid in Wanchun for a few days, in order not to be exposed, I killed several eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, anyway, at the beginning, the palace was in chaos and I don't know how they died, without them, Wang Yan's people don't know how many people in the palace are at all." ”
A few days later, the king roared to count the number of people in the palace. I was also mixed with the palace maid, and the person in charge asked me why I was lame, and I said that I was beaten for committing a crime, and he actually disliked me for being old and decrepit and a lame, and drove me out...... Damn, I really don't treat my mother as a person! The old lady really wanted to stay in the palace and not leave, and in a fit of anger, she couldn't wait to gouge out that guy's dog eye! ”
"What's the name of the steward?"
Wang Qinian couldn't help but ask.
"What is this for, you ask?"
Zhang Wancheng was puzzled.
"I'll buy an immortal tablet when I go back, and I have to offer that master...... If it weren't for such a fool, I would have to be scared for a long time. ”
Wang Qinian said seriously, with a look of underbeating.
"It's not enough to have a tablet."
Wu Bushan also said seriously: "This great kindness, you can't repay the king, why don't I reluctantly castrate you tonight and send you to the palace to give the lord a personal promise." ”
"No way!"
Wang Qinian turned around and glanced at his buttocks, and said very seriously and righteously: "There are too many old and weak folds and they are loose...... I'm afraid people will dislike ......"
