Chapter VIII

Quan Guanqing and Elder Peng sat opposite each other at the entrance of a beggar gang in Huangzhou. Quan Guanqing's expression was pale, and he muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about. Although Elder Peng's expression was also gloomy, he still beckoned around. Several of the beggars' clean-clothed and dirty-clothed elders sat in the four corners without speaking, and the room was filled with gloomy clouds.

After a while, Elder Peng smiled and said, "What are you doing with such a sad face? Not this time, and next time. Yuchen is on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, and we are loyal to the beggars, are we afraid that he will run to the sky? ”

An elder of the Dirty Cloak Sect said distressedly: "I'm not afraid of him, it's just that this time seven elders were dispatched to deal with him alone, and he made such a fuss." Dozens of brothers in the gang also died, and it was very embarrassing to spread the word. ”

Elder Peng said angrily: "Who wants to spread it!" Is this going to get out of the way? He is the ruler, and we are the people. When this matter spreads, no one will protect us............ This time, we didn't expect that Yuchen's work was really good, and he could work hard. I was wrong for a while. But things have come to this point, and we have to have the strength in his hands! When the time comes, the selected beggars will be enriched with the children, and we will get a big Song Jingxi envoy. ”

The Dirty Cloak Sect elder was still a little unconvinced, and muttered, "Anyway, we have planted the entrance of Jinghu Hall this time. Since Quan Guanqing came back from the north, why didn't he find out how hard Yuchen's hands were? He came back from the north, and he turned out to be a member of the Northern Beggars, and I always believed him. ”

Elder Peng was about to reply, when he heard a beggar gang report back: "Hall Master Lu is here." Elder Peng was stunned, this Lu You's foot was seriously injured, why did he run from Ezhou to Huangzhou?

There are a total of five halls in the Nanbeg Gang, which are Jinghu, Lianghuai, Liangchuan, Lin'an, and Liangguang. Each hall has two hall masters, one clean and one dirty, who are promoted to one qiē on their own ground, and they are very powerful, and they also have the status of deacons in the main hall. There are also eight deacons and elders under each hall, and there are more than 10,000 children. The loyal and righteous beggars have a deep relationship with the garrisons in various places, and these hall masters are all big heroes who will shake when they stomp their feet in Jiangnan Wulin. At the entrance of Jinghu Hall, the two hall masters were Elder Peng and Lu Youjiao.

Seeing that Lu You's feet were helped in by a few people, Elder Peng hurriedly greeted him. smiled: "Lao Lu, why are you here too?" It's cold, and you're not in good health. Isn't it bitter to come over like this? ”

Lu You didn't listen to his greetings with a straight face, but just frowned and said to a few people below: "I'm not here for a while, so you guys will make a mess with me?" Yuchen is a figure of the Great Song Dynasty's official family, even if he has some relationship with Xiao Feng, let's talk about it, listen to his words, watch his deeds and then make plans, who made you so anxious to do it? ”

He sat down, didn't care about Elder Peng's ugly face, and said to himself: "If Old Gang Leader Hong knows about these things, see what he will do with you?" The old gang leader said that although we serve the imperial court, we should not be too involved with the official family, and it is enough to do our duty. This rain, from now on, no one is allowed to touch him. Wait until there is news from the main hall. ”

He glanced at Quan Guanqing, who was pale, and snorted: "First escort all the brothers and wait for the fall of the main hall." ”

A few of the deacons and elders of the Dirty Clothes Sect who had been trained to say yes and walked up to hold Quan Guanqing's hands. Quan Guanqing looked at Lu Youjiao, and then at Elder Peng, who was pale, and looked up to the sky and sighed. The obedient went down with them.

Elder Peng didn't speak, although Lu Youjiao made a face to him in public, he couldn't say anything. Lu Youjiao is the confidant of the old gang leader, and he was faintly in the Jinghu Hall in the posture that he was the deputy of himself. His mind was just racing, thinking about what to do next.

He was originally a descendant of a martial arts family, and the beggar gang with a large share of the family business was also taken a fancy to the good relationship between the loyal and righteous beggar gang and the Southern Song Dynasty army, and he actually had a very ambitious plan in his heart. He looked at the appearance of several elders of the Cleansing Gang who couldn't raise their heads. Still smiled at Lu Youjiao and said: "Old Lu, your temper is also too big, I still have to reason with the old gang leader about the whole brother, so it is cold to come to our brother's heart............"

Lu Youjiao snorted, he is a generation of southerners. The ancestor of the family was killed very badly when King Hailing went south in the year of the Jin soldiers. Deep-seated prejudice against northerners. Xiao Feng's incident added to his understanding. He didn't care about Elder Peng's words at all. Nodding his head slightly, he beckoned someone to help him down to rest.

Several Dirty Clothes Sect elders triumphantly hugged Lu You's feet, leaving only a few Pure Clothes Sect elders there, their faces were blue and white for a while. It's all full of resentment. Elder Peng was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Why are you the same as the dead Lao Tzu Niang?" Let's go down and rest, this matter is not over yet. ”

The people in the rivers and lakes are actually the tools in the hands of these officials, and one day these tools will not be so obedient, and it will naturally be time to change, but unfortunately these people still don't understand this truth. What if there was an opportunity to make the tool a part of it?

The tiger skin of the Loyal and Righteous Beggars is just something that I Peng temporarily borrowed to accommodate myself. What I really want, it seems, is right in front of my hand.

The warship stirred up snow-white waves on the channel of the Yangtze River, and a few river gulls circled over the ship. A strong north wind rattled the canopy.

I stood at the bow of the boat with my hands on my sleeve. Squinting and not knowing what to think. When we returned from Huangzhou, we got on the warship that Meng Heng had prepared for us, and sailed all the way downstream. Looking at the water and wind, it will only take five or six days to get to Jiankang.

But all of a sudden, I was so idle, but I was not used to it. I don't know what happened to my soldiers in Dengzhou? Is Qingfeng still so unhappy?

I also saw the official report of the past few days on the ship, and the Mongolian envoys discussed the alliance in Lin'an. It seems that in April this year, the Jinghu Army of the Great Song Dynasty went north to attack Jin, and it was really a historical trend that could not be avoided. It is really unknown where my small territory will slide in the torrent of history.

When they boarded the ship in Ezhou, Shi Songzhi and Meng Heng both gave great face and went to the dock to see them off. Everyone was courteous, but they didn't talk too deeply. Shi Songzhi's smiling expression made my boss depressed. It was Meng Heng who said a few heart-to-heart words to me.

"Now that the two Zhao Shuai are in Lin'an, you don't have to go to Lianghuai, you Jinghu and your trip, the two Zhao Shuai must have some ideas in their hearts, but as long as you stand firm on your own, there is nothing to be afraid of. Jinghu will have a big move in the future, and there is more time to borrow from you............ You encountered a thief on the way, Shi Shuai has already paid attention to this matter, and will definitely give you an explanation. ”

Now Duan Yu is still stuffy in the cabin, and his injuries are getting better quickly. But he used to be an easy-going and talkative person. These days, I'm always alone, and I don't know what I'm thinking. It's rare to have a sentence throughout the day. I don't know what's wrong with him either. The relationship between Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan is still cold, Wang Yuyan is not as obsessed with him as before, and she just looks at Jiang Tao every day. Murong Fu was busy doing his work all day, sending the craftsmen we recruited back to Dengzhou in batches, and instructing the processing of the official documents sent by Dengzhou, which was also inextricable, but I didn't even have the mood to paint, and I was happy to throw these things to him.

Because I always feel that this trip to Jiangnan is much more complicated than I imagined. I always deeply feel that the strength in my hands is far from enough, and I only worry about this.

A Chinese officer who accompanied us respectfully walked up to my side: "General, we will get off the boat in Jiangzhou at night." The officials in Jiangzhou had already received the roll order from the marshal, thinking that they wanted to accept it with the general. ”

I was very polite to him: "Ha, am I a small official, can I afford to be greeted by so many adults?" The handsome man is too polite. It's embarrassing for me. ”

The Chinese officer was very good at speaking, and said with a smile: "Everyone respects not the general's official position, but respects the general, who started in the north alone to kill the golden dog and fight the tartars, and spit out a bad breath in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty." Besides, the general is here, and he will make contributions in the future, and Feihuang Tengda also refers to the daytime thing, and everyone accepts it at this time, which is also to make a room for advancement in the future............"

I looked at him with a smile: "I apologize for your noble words, since you are so interested in killing golden dogs and fighting tartars." Why don't you just be wronged and come to me to be a Chinese officer? I'll go and beg your lord, and it's over." ”

The officer in the middle of the army was very quick to see the system of his direct boss: "General Meng sent me to follow the lord, that is what it means, the subordinates can't ask for it, and in the future, they will all listen to the orders of the general." Everywhere the subordinates followed. ”

Oh? So you put an eye and ear on my side? It's too blatant.

The journey turned out to be smooth, and there was nothing to do along the way. It's nothing more than some officialdom entertainment. Seeing that the ship arrived in Jiankang on this day, I actually felt a little timid. Half a year ago, I was a fledgling teenager, and when I came back, I was already a member of the 7,000 army, and it is indeed difficult to say anything about things in this world.

Yu Zhong was waiting at the dock to greet us, and He Kang, the freshly baked officer of the Guiyi Army, did a good job. The message was transmitted to the house of the Spring Hall early. I stepped off the springboard, and it was like a world away.

Yu Zhong only looked at me fixedly, it seemed that if it weren't for the difference between up and down, it would be uncertain to rush over and hug me. His face was full of laughter: "Young master, you have lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot." These days, it can be regarded as a hard work. When you come back this time, don't leave, right? ”

I smiled and greeted the old butler as I beckoned everyone to get off the boat. Yu Zhong commanded his subordinates to take the luggage, and at the same time chattered with me: "The master is in Lin'an now, and it is rare to come back." Mrs. Tai and Mrs. knew that Gongzi was back, and they also heard that Gongzi had also become an official family, so they were very happy, and they were waiting for the young master to go back in the mansion............ Last time, the two young grandmothers, why did the young grandmother Sun come back? However, there seem to be a few more people serving around the young master, and the lady should be happy for the young master when she sees it............"

A few girls are familiar with Sun Keyi, and their expressions are calm. Mu Wanqing thought of going to visit her sweetheart's elders, but she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and her heart was full of anxiety. Zhou Zhiruo's identity is still very embarrassing, and I have not made any promises to her, the first time I went to this big mansion with open weather, I could only stare at my toes and listen to the arrangements of others.

When I saw my grandmother and mother, I was really happy. After holding my hand for a day, I picked out something that was not too sinister in the north. This has caused them to worry a lot, and judging by that posture, it seems that they don't plan to let me go back to the north. I had to call Sun Keyi and Mu Wanqing to divert their attention, and now the target really shifted to the two girls, seeing that Sun Keyi was already dressed as a little woman, and blamed me for not giving people a name now. It really made my head go big.

In the evening, I set up another family dinner, and this time it was different from the shabby family banquet in the tiger. The table is full of delicacies, and the aroma of wine is overflowing. The people who shuttled back and forth were all servants who served. But those maids, looking at the three of Mu Wanqing, Sun Keyi, and Zhou Zhiruo sitting next to me, whether the eyes flashed with jealousy and vinegar or not, it was not what I cared about.

"Come on, come on, everyone raise their glasses! In the past six months, everyone has tasted the hardships with my rain, and there is no benefit, I am sorry for everyone! Now it's so easy to catch a breath, so I'll borrow this glass of wine to thank you! How difficult the road ahead is, I hope you will work together with me to do it! ”

Everyone agreed, and even Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, who had been looking depressed, raised their wine glasses in agreement. Yang Guo and Wan Yanping screamed even louder. Murong Fu also raised his wine glass and smiled.

In his heart, he didn't know how many times he had turned over, and he didn't know how many times he had read the letter that Shi Songzhi gave him alone before getting on the boat. Seeing the young general's spirit there, he sneered slightly in his heart: "Do you work together?" Let's see what the future holds. ”

Dengzhou Henan Guiyi Army Military Justice Department.

Shen Qingfeng sat in front of his desk, holding a stack of documents and frowning and reading. Since Yuchen left, the operation of the entire Guiyi Army has gradually become a little ineffective. Zhuang Jin is far away in Xuzhou, not to mention him. Murong Fu's Fourth Army is now almost Zhang Yao in charge, coming and going freely between Xu and Deng, and he doesn't listen to greetings. And Yu Lang and Minghui each led an army of soldiers, and neither of them could control anyone on the ground in Dengzhou. If it weren't for Yuchen, he left the strongest cavalry army and the main force of his own personal army to Shen Qingfeng's command. With her in the middle, she saw that the Guiyi Army was about to turn into a plate of loose sand.

A military judge in black armor walked in cautiously: "General Shen, Yu Lang has returned from Tangzhou Grass Valley with seventy or eighty people, this time he acted on his own without being ordered, how is the general going to fall?" ”

Shen Qingfeng was even more upset, she was a daughter, and she didn't get an official position in the imperial court. But he was among the high-ranking officers of the Guiyi Army. Although Yuchen said when she left that the big and small matters in Dengzhou would be implemented by the three of them after discussion, the other two people didn't take her seriously at all. Minghui was busy integrating the forces around Queshan, and his troops gradually advanced in the direction of Wancheng. And Yu Lang harassed in the direction of Tangzhou every day.

Here in Dengzhou, she is the only one left who is struggling to maintain, and she has been resettled one by one with the food and military materials that have been transferred to Dengzhou in the past few days, and the craftsmen and materials sent to her. In addition to the planned allocation of the Great Sima Mansion, they are all carefully collected. He also arranged for craftsmen to set up armies, repair city walls, and appease the displaced people to help the spring famine. The real and most basic things of the Guiyi Army fell on her, and many people said behind her back that she was eager to seize power.

Who can know the pain in her heart?

But Yu Lang can't ignore this matter, if he is really lawless like him, then it will be a matter of time before the righteous army breaks up. In any case, this is her father-in-law's inheritance.

And her father-in-law is all she has.

When Shen Qingfeng arrived at the Second Army's garrison in the west of the city, he saw Yu Lang standing in the middle of the camp with his arms open, laughing loudly, surrounded by dozens of cavalry-colored personal soldiers around him, also with a triumphant look on his face. There were piles of food and clothing on the ground, as well as a dozen bloody heads.

Yu Lang's laughing and scolding voice spread far away: "Fuck, this time it's not very lucky." A small group of soldiers from Wuxian was taking the east and west and rushing towards Tangzhou, and they were intercepted by us halfway. I was having a good time, and two or three hundred people came to reinforce them, and I saw that it was not a road, and I didn't fight hard with these rabbit cubs, so I turned around and left, and brought back a dozen levels, seven or eight good horses, and this little thing to carry on horses. ”

Seeing Shen Qingfeng walking into his camp with a small group of cavalry, Yu Lang smiled and said, "Judge Shen Jun, do you bring the brothers who reward the meritorious service to record my merits?" There's nothing to do this time, so let's not fuck it. ”

Shen Qingfeng's beautiful face was like a layer of frost: "General Yu thinks I'm here to take credit for you?" Before the master leaves, we must guard our territory, not provoke the enemy, so we have to straighten out our interior. Look at what you and General Ming, and Zhang Yao did? This time I came here to see what General Yu had to say to our Ministry of Justice. ”

Yu Lang had an arrogant look on his face, he had never taken Shen Qingfeng in his eyes. After Yuchen left, he went wherever he wanted, and Guiyi Jun seemed to be his boss. He furrowed his brows: "Confess? Confess the fart! If Yuchen's young general is here, it's nothing for me to explain to him, why do you ask Lao Tzu for an explanation? Stay here, only get beaten! If I take my brothers out to harass and fight in turn, isn't it training and rectifying? I don't have anything to say to you. You're a little woman, and you don't know anything about war. ”

His soldiers also felt the same way, and they all laughed and scolded and wanted to disperse. Shen Qingfeng said coldly: "Slow, what does General Yu mean, that is, the Ministry of Military Justice can't control your head?" ”

Yu Lang laughed: "If Lao Tzu* is kidnapped, you don't need to come to the door, Lao Tzu will naturally report to the Ministry of Military Justice." Now this matter, you naturally can't control Lao Tzu. He waved his hand and swaggered towards where he was staying. Shen Qingfeng's face was pale behind him, but he didn't know what to say.

A military judge next to him took a step forward and shouted at Yu Lang: "General Yu, you can't talk like this, even if General Shen is not a military judge, he is also our master's mother, what kind of attitude do you have?" ”

Yu Lang laughed without looking back: "If every housewife comes out to point fingers, then the Guiyi Army might as well break up as soon as possible............ Brothers, rest early, and let's go to Tangzhou tomorrow to fight grass valley! ”

Shen Qingfeng stood expressionlessly in the field for a long time, looking at this qiē, a deep sense of powerlessness rolled up in his heart. She stomped her foot and was about to turn around and leave. A fast horse rushed over at a gallop, looking at the color of the cavalry's clothes and the marks on his body, it was the soldier of the eighth commander of the ace under Minghui. In the past few days, Minghui has already expanded the command of his favorite ace Eighth Infantry into the absolute main force of four infantry teams and two cavalry teams. In Shen Qingfeng's view, this practice of privately changing the establishment is another major crime of undermining military law.

The cavalry rushed to Shen Qingfeng's side and dismounted, nodded to the ground on one knee, and sent a military report over: "General Shen, the army under the Ming command has now approached the surroundings of Wancheng. ”

General Shen Qingfeng took the report: "You General Ming made your own decisions to fight Wancheng, and you have already violated the military order. Moreover, the more than 2,000 stone grain reserves in Huzui Village are in the hands of the Ming control system, how can they be asked for me? If you want to add, you have to go through the Great Sima Mansion, what's the use of looking for me? ”

The cavalry replied: "General Ming said that he has gone to look for the Great Sima Mansion, and there is no food to prepare for battle, and the grain in Huzui Village has been used up when fighting Dengzhou and helping the people of Dengzhou." General Ming knew that General Shen had grain transferred from the south in his hands, and said............"

Shen Qingfeng said coldly: "What else are you talking about?" ”

The cavalry didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a low voice: "The Ming system said that these grains belong to the righteous army, please General Shen don't hold them in your hands, otherwise it won't look good for everyone." ”

This made Shen Qingfeng dizzy with anger, and he worked hard to maintain it here. And what is the result? As soon as she let go, she threw the bulletin in front of the cavalryman, and staggered toward her horse.

This situation is really not something that our daughter's family can support............
