Chapter 1 The wind and snow are all over Jinghu
The heavy snow on Jinghu North Road in the Great Song Dynasty was falling all over the world. The snow had accumulated heavily on the empty official road. This is the day of the New Year, a heavy snow is in time for the solar term, and it is covered in silver and white. In the distance, a group of men and horses rushed into the wind and snow, heading towards Ezhou.
There were about a hundred horses in this group, and there were more than a dozen carts mixed in. Although it is not very clear in the snow. But the horses are all tall and strong Hexi horses, and the people are also sturdy northland men. In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it is rare to see such a cavalry team.
I was on my horse, and the snow was so hard that I couldn't open my eyes. We could have waited for the weather to clear before we left, but this time I was too short on time, so I braved the snow to make my way.
The curtain of a large car was lifted. Immediately, the sound of girls laughing came from inside. Sun Keyi poked her head out and smiled at me: "Xianggong, don't you go into the car to warm up?" The snow is so heavy, you have to be careful. ”
When Sun Keyi was fighting in Dengzhou, I didn't take her with me, she was too young. I don't want her to see too much bloody fighting, she has been wronged in the tiger for a long time, and this time when she goes back to Jiangnan, I have to take her with me no matter what. If you accept a few of their girls, you have to report it to your parents.
A small head poked out of the car, and it was a delicate and lively girl: "Brother Yu, just come in, it's strangely cold." It's warm in our car............ What about Yang Guo's dead guy? Yesterday I bragged to me about him sneaking into Dengzhou to save my brother, and when I asked someone today, phew, it's all fake! ”
That girl is Wan Yan Ping, the sister of Wan Yan Huxi, the first time I saw her come to run with a book, I was really surprised, Wan Yan Huxi's sister was actually her! She was still a very lively and lovely girl at this time, Yang Guo seemed to be familiar with her at first sight, and frolicked with her all day long along the way.
I smiled at them, "My men are all marching in the snow, and I get into the car alone to warm up, what is the reason?" Sister Wanyan, Keyi, you hurry up and close the curtain, it's too cold, and you're not playing. ”
Sun Keyi let out a sensible sigh, and pulled Yan Ping to close the curtain.
This time, I went back to the Great Song Dynasty and brought Murong Fu, Wang Yuyan, and Yang Guo. Duan Yu naturally followed, Huang Yaoshi played chess in the tiger for a few days, and sure enough, he clapped his hands and left, and he didn't know where he went. Mu Wanqing and Zhou Zhiruo also followed, Zhou Zhiruo was only fifteen, and accidentally injured his father, I relented for a while, and took her in to serve the living of several women in my house. Seeing that the family is slowly gaining scale, it is indeed not the same without some people to serve. She always looks depressed on weekdays, but she is very meticulous and thoughtful, and several housewives love her very much.
Shen Qingfeng resolutely refused to come back with me, she said that the army was expanded, and the fish and dragons were mixed. It was the time when she, the military judge, could not leave for a day. Shen Qingfeng and I are like this, although I am emotional, but there is really no way. I can only wait for the time to pass, and then slowly mend the relationship with her.
Murong Fu and Yang Guo rode up one after the other, and Murong Fu smiled and said, "General, if it weren't for such a heavy snowfall, I would have arrived in Ezhou at noon today, but even so, we can catch up with dinner." Yang Guo also said: "General, I always hear you say that Jiangnan is prosperous all day long, why can't you see half a person all the way?" ”
I made a straight face: "The autumn harvest is over early, and now it is snowing heavily, and the people have already cut their doors for the winter, and they will not come out until the Lantern Festival is lit up to catch up with the market activities, where are you going to find someone now?" Yang Guo, you are now also an adult with **100 soldiers and official fame. Don't frolic with Sister Wanyan all day long, when you go to Jiangnan, we're here to do business. ”
Yang Guo stuck out his tongue and didn't speak, and suddenly he shouted, "There is a person lying in front!" "Sure enough, there were human-shaped snowdrifts slowly wriggling there. We hurried the horse over and dragged the man out of the snow. It turned out to be a thinly dressed middle-aged man named Hanako, who was seriously injured in the chest and abdomen, and the muscles on his body protruded. It seems that he is a good hand when he does not hurt. Now that he is seriously injured and frozen in the snow for a long time, he can't see it.
Yang looked at it quickly, and saw that the middle-aged man named Hanako was carrying five small pockets on his back, and his hand was stretched out in his arms, revealing a bright yellow list of texts. I frowned and beckoned to my men: "Pour him two sips of hot wine!" This man is not done, see if he has anything to say? ”
Two sips of hot wine in the stomach aroused the last bit of vitality of the middle-aged Hanako. He held Murong Fu's hands and asked, "Who is Childe?" ”
Murong Fu said: "In Xiagu Su Murong Fu............ If you have anything to say, explain it quickly, and we will inform your family. ”
Middle-aged Hanako's eyes widened: "It turned out to be Murong Gongzi!" You're also a southerner, so I'm relieved............ This corner of the list, the Hong gang leader who was handed over to our Nan Beggars Gang, is a matter of great plans for recovery, and it is important to ............ I'm demonic............ Demon Sect ............" said that he couldn't lift it in one breath, tilted his head, and died.
The middle-aged Hanako's stiff hand grabbed the corner of the list tightly, and it was easy to take it out. I looked at it and frowned: "Princess Xixia will recruit talents from all over the world in Lingzhou in April next year?" What else is there in Western Xia now? It's been more than ten years since the country died! Genghis Khan destroyed the Western Xia that year, and for every hundred party members killed, a corpse was erected on the battlefield. In the end, the corpses that fell upside down on the battlefield were the same as in the woods. What other Xixia princess recruits? What kind of relatives are this Hanako going to recruit again? ”
Murong Fu also shook his head in confusion: "What else does this have to do with the Great Restoration Plan, and it is also related to the Demon Sect?" The Demon Sect has been far away from the Western Regions for more than 100 years after the great failure in Jiangnan, and his subordinates really don't understand this matter. ”
Yang was frozen there too early: "Bury this flower, let's hurry, it's important for us to hurry, it's headless and brainless, make such a fuss." How much time is it taking for us. I nodded: "Yes, it's cold, I don't have so much time to dig a pit, find a snowdrift and bury this person, the children of the rivers and lakes are dead, it's just that, let's hurry." ”
The Great Song Dynasty Ezhou Jinghu pacification system embassy office.
It was just past noon, and the place was already full of officials and subordinates, all wearing official uniforms, and everyone was talking about something. A buzz filled the lobby. Everyone seemed to be expecting something, but many more had disapproving looks on their faces.
With the sound of three horns, a Chinese officer walked out of the back hall with a sword: "The handsome horse has risen to the tent, everyone sit down according to the shift, and be careful about the loss of etiquette!" Everyone was in a hurry and took their places.
I heard the loud sound of boots behind the lobby. A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a middle-aged man with a fierce face were both wearing brocade robes and black gauze heads. One after the other walked out.
The handsome middle-aged man looked at the full house of respectful subordinates, smiled, slowly walked to the middle position and sat down, raised his hand and greeted: "Puyu, you set up a place next to me, just sit next to me." ”
The middle-aged man replied respectfully and sat down beside him. The handsome middle-aged man is the nephew of Shi Miyuan, the powerful minister of the dynasty, and Shi Songzhi, the pacification envoy of Jinghu in the Great Song Dynasty. He was included in the history of the Song Dynasty in the list of traitorous ministers, but some people also commented that although Shi Songzhi was not a famous minister, he was indeed a capable minister, who would be in the prime minister, shrewd and decisive, and quite capable of digging talents, supporting the defense line in the middle reaches of the Great Song Dynasty for several years, and reusing Meng Heng, a famous general, who had kept the peace of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years.
As soon as he sat down, Shi Songzhi looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "Today is not the end of the year, everyone was called here with such fanfare, what is the matter, everyone should understand." None of the people below replied, just waiting for the big marshal to continue to look down.
Shi Songzhi said to himself and laughed: "When the dynasty lived in Mr. Langyu's second son, he was ordered by Lianghuai to go north to the exhibition, and now he has actually created a big situation in Henan. Recently, Dengzhou was also taken, but it's amazing! All of you here, if anyone can go to the Central Plains naked and create such a situation, my position as a deputy envoy to appease will be set up for him! It's ridiculous that you still don't think so, and treat it as a small dock lord in the north. Ben Shuai is ready to welcome this rain boy in person today...... No, it's our rain capital of the Great Song Dynasty! Puyu, did the greeting person reciprocate? ”
The middle-aged man beside him bowed down and said, "I just reported it, the heavy snow has made the rain control a little slower, but it has already arrived at the official pavilion." ”
Shi Songzhi laughed and said: "It's snowing heavily, so we can't go outside the city to greet us." Just sit and wait in this official office, Puyu, you can drink a few more glasses when you arrive, and make amends for me to make amends for the rain capital. ”
There was an official in civilian uniform at the bottom, who seemed to be quite of a low grade, and said boldly: "Your Excellency treats people from the north so kindly, it is too humble. Our dynasty has its own system, and no matter how great the credit of that General Yu is, it cannot be surpassed. ”
Shi Songzhi snorted slightly, and motioned for the middle-aged man around him to speak. The middle-aged man who was called Puyu was the first general of the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Hui and Meng Puyu. He was born in a generation of generals, and his ancestor Meng An was a general under Yue Fei's tent back then. In his generation, he is even more outstanding. In addition to being brave and good at fighting, it can also be independent.
He said in a deep voice, "What time is it now?" It is also entangled in this system. This is not the year when everyone can lie down in the wind and make the moon! Our Great Song Dynasty lacks such fierce soldiers! Dashuai's opinion is very clever. If it was still Wu Xian, Yi Layu, Wu Tianxi and Ma Wanlong, they joined forces and pressed on the Deng Tang line, how sad should we be here? It's rare that after a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he did such a great cause in the north, and the whole army returned, and we didn't treat some of them kindly, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the righteous people in the world? With such a foundation on the other side of the river, we will have a springboard for our progress in the Central Plains............ Adults are still entangled in the system, which is really a scholar's opinion! ”
He said this very seriously, but he not only had military power in his hands, but he was also Shi Songzhi's most trusted figure, so the civil official had no choice but to raise his face and dare not speak out. Shi Songzhi clapped his hands and said: "Puyu, there is no need to say so, everyone has their own ideas, as long as it does not harm the state affairs, it is fine............ Send a scout horse again to see where General Yu has been? ”
We stepped into the gate of Ezhou at the beginning of the year, and as early as ten miles outside the city, we met dozens of cavalry of the Great Song Zhongshun Army who came to greet us, with bright armor and bright swords and guns. But the horses are all short legs and short Yunnan and Guizhou horse breeds. Our cavalry, although they are not as complete as theirs, are tall and strong in their crotch horses, and they are all in a hundred battles, and they have a kind of majestic and murderous aura, which immediately compares them to them. The two teams were in one place, as if they were going to play. whistling towards Ezhou.
The horse broke through the tranquility of the city and galloped straight to the gate of the official office, and the petty officer who led the way dismounted and signaled. I nodded, and straightened my clothes. He took a deep breath, straightened his complexion, and strode in.
There were people sitting on both sides of the office, and I didn't bother to tell who they were. A mass of gods was all on the middle-aged man in the light robe who was sitting in the center. After getting used to the slightly dim light in the hall a little, he pushed Jin Shan and bowed down: "Xiaguan Xuanjiaolang, the right to know Xuzhou, mention the military and political affairs of the Jingxi Road, the Henan Guiyi Army is under control, and the Jingxi Yingtian makes Yuchen see the adult!" It's really disrespectful to come in a hurry, and I ask for forgiveness! ”
Shi Songzhi laughed, and personally left his seat to help me up: "Don't follow the rules in the march, you are not my direct subordinate, Ling Zun is my comrade, today you came from afar, we should get rid of the traces, avoid a qiēyi note, and get closer............ Having said that, the imperial court also greatly appreciated the general's achievements in the Central Plains this time, otherwise the marshal would not have sent the co-signatories to the general so formally. ”
I stood up with his support, and said a few words of panic in a circle. All the people present are old officials, and they suddenly come up to ask for warmth, and they are really affectionate. Shi Songzhi looked at it with a smile for a long time, and waved his hand to order: "Set off the cannon, play music, and welcome the rain into the flower hall to catch the wind!" ”
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Everyone had a bit of a drink. Slightly began to let go of the traces. There are only a few people here, such as Shi Songzhi, Meng Heng, and a few other Zhizhou. But I was alert to the fact that at this time, I couldn't say the wrong thing. Shi Songzhi held the wine glass in his hand, his face was a little flushed, and he called me affectionately: "Nephew, you were sent out on a business trip by Brother Lianghuai Zhao, but when you came back this time, you wrote to my official office first, you value me so much, I want to thank you in person." ”
I was half less drunk, and I replied thoughtfully: "When we go, there are few people and the goal is small. Now the defeated troops of the Jin State have retreated to southern Henan, Wuxian and other departments control the area of Tangzhou, and then it is not very safe to go back from the waterway, passing through Jinghu, this road is under the control of my Guiyi army, I can come safely, and then turn the waterway to go to Lianghuai is also general. Since you have to pass through Jinghu, how can you not come to Dashuai here to learn about it? But the handsome reception of the young general was so grand that the young general was uneasy. ”
Shi Songzhi laughed and said: "We don't talk about it here now, only Shiyi!" I was originally a reading seed, but after leading soldiers to kill people for a long time, I will inevitably be contaminated with this Qiu Ba habit. Let's talk about it briskly, holding half of it, what's the taste? ”
He patted Meng Heng's shoulder beside him: "In this Ezhou, Puyu knows me best." Although I, Shi Songzhi, have the name of the prime minister's nephew, the scale of this Jinghu is all done by me with one hand and one foot! There is not a day that is not aimed at recovery! So when I heard that my nephew had recovered Dengzhou, I was very happy. There are so many heroes and heroes in the Great Song Dynasty, what are you afraid of? Puyu, with such a springboard in Dengzhou firmly in the hands of his nephew, it is much more convenient for you to enter and exit the Central Plains. ”
Saying that, he smiled to himself: "Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." Come, drink and drink, let's have a good time! ”
The banquet was noisy from the afternoon to the middle of the night, Shi Songzhi really didn't talk about state affairs at the banquet, only talked about some national affairs, and talked elegantly, but it was interesting and attractive. Only Meng Hui said to me when the banquet was dispersed: "My loyal army is also the Central Plains boy recruited by Deng, Tang and other places back then, and the demeanor of General Yu's children, I will pay tribute to it another day." ”
