Chapter 121: Lip Tea
However, An Yougui, he has not eaten dry food in Yangzhou for so many years, not long after he entered the prison, someone came and they went out, of course, even Chen Siyu and Zhai Shouxun were rescued together. Pinshu.com(wWW.VoDtw.coM)
Yangzhou City is now under martial law in the whole city, and he can't get out at all, but the people guarding the city gate include Zhai Shouxun, who promoted a small soldier when he was Li Chongjin's chief strategist before, and now he is the captain of the team guarding the north gate.
He didn't dare to let them out in the face of his benefactors, but he was also a person who didn't repay his kindness, and put them outside the city with a hanging basket, but fortunately the people who guarded the north gate were his brothers in life and death.
The most important thing for An Yougui now is to go to Bianjing City to report the current situation in Yangzhou, in fact, the most important thing for him to go to the emperor is to explain to the emperor in person the deployment of Yangzhou and the storage of grain and grass.
After Li Chongjin suppressed all the resistance in the city, he found that An Yougui and others had escaped, and all the jailers guarding the prison had been knocked unconscious.
The angry Li Chongjin scolded these jailers for being incompetent, and now he is even more afraid, there is no news from the Khitan, and even the people he sent to the Southern Tang Dynasty have not returned, and now An Yougui must have gone to the Great Song Dynasty.
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely know what he has done and detain the minister without authorization, this is a rebellion, although he has already thought about rebellion, but he is not ready.
The things that Khitan promised him hadn't been done yet, but Nantang still didn't respond, and he really didn't know what to do. It's okay to simply charge into battle, it's really a thing that uses his brain, Li Chongjin is really a pig.
In desperation, he consulted the strategist Zhang Chonghe again, and this guy analyzed the current situation in detail
suggested that Lao Li ask Nantang for help again, and he still had certain illusions about Nantang, so Li Chongjin devoted himself to writing a letter full of emotion and sent someone to Li Jing again. Not enough, his messenger was picked up not far from Yangzhou City.
In Bianjing City, Zhao Kuangyin is meeting An Yougui, this guy has rushed to the capital immediately since he escaped from the Yangzhou prison to find it, as for Chen Siyu and Zhai Shouxun, he stayed in Yangzhou.
The reason was that he felt that it was a waste of time to take them, and it was better for him to ride a horse alone, otherwise he would arrive in the capital in a few days at night.
"Okay, according to what you said Aiqing, it is very timely, and it is worthy of being a loyal minister of my Great Song Dynasty, just with your information, my Great Song Dynasty can easily take Yangzhou City. Aiqing has made a lot of contributions. ”
It turned out that An Yougui directly reported the distribution of troops in Yangzhou City, as well as the hoarding of grain and grass, to Zhao Kuangyin, that is, Zhao Kuangyin now knows the distribution map of grain and grass in Yangzhou City. This counterinsurgency war, which has not yet begun, is already halfway victorious.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was overjoyed, immediately rewarded An Yougui with a lot of clothes that he had worn, that is, a few old clothes, but how strange it was, this was worn by the emperor, and the courtiers were proud to get what the emperor had used, you don't know An Yougui's excitement.
At the same time, he was also appointed as the supervisor of the army, the former army, and appointed him as the assassin of Chuzhou, and An Yougui happily retired.
At this time, Zhao Xu walked in and handed the letter in his hand directly to Zhao Kuangyin, although Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what it was, but he still slowly unfolded it, only to see that it was written:
Zhou Huainan Jiedu made Li Chongjin, under the command of the Southern Tang Dynasty: Chongjin is the Yi family of the Zhou family, the old minister of the feudal town, the world is deeply favored by the first emperor, and he can't bear to bear it, and now he will raise troops into Bian.
Begging the king to help the division of a brigade, unite together, and punish the crime, if it succeeds, the re-entry will definitely obey the order, and return the knight to the court, and the less effective ministers in case of emergency, would rather dare to use the army and force? But the king forgives!
Syllable!
Zhao Kuangyin's hand slapped heavily on the imperial case in front of him, and he seemed to be angry:
"This Li Chongjin wrote a letter to the Southern Tang Dynasty to collude with him before, this time he dared to ask Tang Guo for help again, and what was even more daring was that he also detained the imperial court's Qincha, this time I will definitely not let him go again, with you, I promised you to be fully responsible this time, what do you want to do?"
Originally, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to go to the expedition himself, but not long ago he promised Zhao Xu that Li Chongjin would be handed over to him for disposal, so Zhao Kuangyin had the heart to go and would not fight with his son.
"Hehe, I don't have any plans, this time I only need to mobilize the 10,000 forbidden troops of my forbidden army, and the rest of the people don't need it." Zhao Xu said it without thinking about it.
Zhao Kuangyin frowned, and secretly thought in his heart:
"This Li Chongjin used to serve under Chai Rong's account with himself, although he himself has no brains, but he is also a tiger general, and now there are a lot of troops in Yangzhou City, only with 10,000 soldiers......"
"It seems inappropriate to only bring 10,000 soldiers, so let Shi Shouxin and Murong Yanzhao go too, so I can rest assured, what do you think?"
"No, absolutely not." As soon as Zhao Xu heard that Zhao Kuangyin also asked Shi Shouxin and Murong Yanzhao to go, he immediately jumped up.
Just kidding, can they still let their group of founding generals make great contributions, they have already carried the great achievements of the founding of the country, and they hold heavy power, they are already new nobles, and they can no longer be allowed to have military exploits.
Wasn't Zhao Kuangyin like this that day, he slowly accumulated prestige in the army, and later changed the world of Da Zhou to the surname Zhao with a shout.
"Why can't they, they are all generals of a hundred battles, more than your actual combat experience, why can't they lead the troops, Xu'er, what are you thinking?" Zhao Kuangyin was a little puzzled.
However, Zhao Xu didn't explain much, only said one sentence:
"Wasn't you also a general of a hundred battles back then, and weren't you also loyal to Da Zhou?"
Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything after hearing this, and agreed that Zhao Xu would only take 10,000 people to Yangzhou, and the generals would just ask him if he chose him.
After Zhao Xu left, Zhao Kuangyin also fell into deep thought, he didn't think about it so much before, but now after his son mentioned it, he felt that he should do something.
These founding generals all held military power, and they may not have the intention of rebelling, but their subordinates may not have such intentions, and they must find a way to solve this problem.
Zhao Xu rode his unknown mount towards a mansion in the city, I haven't seen this little thing grow up a lot for a long time, and it doesn't have the strange appearance it used to be, it looks like a horse, but the strange thing is that this guy can still shrink.
However, there are also limitations to his shrinkage, and it can't shrink indefinitely, but it can be reduced to about the same size as when Zhao Xu first saw him before, that is, much bigger than ordinary goats.
The place where Zhao Xu came was a small mansion, which was originally an uninhabited house, and was later rewarded by Zhao Xu with a person, this person is the big man, but now he is not the big man who only knows how to eat meat, his name is Hu Yanzan.
This time Zhao Xu looked for him for something important, anyway, he has recovered now.
When Zhao Xu came to Huyan Mansion, the doorkeeper was also a very clever person, and when he saw Zhao Xu coming, he immediately ran to report to his master.
"The minister Hu Yanzan sees His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will miss the welcome, and I hope Your Majesty will atone for his sins." Hu Yanzan immediately rushed out after receiving the report from the little maid, and happened to meet Zhao Xu who entered the door.
"Haha get up, I'm really not used to seeing you like this, with a serious look, hehe." Zhao Xu stepped forward and helped Hu Yanzan up.
Hu Yanzan is not an ordinary person, looking at his body, the tiger's back and bear waist is veritable, not to mention more than 200 catties, with his nearly two-meter figure, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is tall and mighty.
But he was held up by Zhao Xu so easily, which shows that Zhao Xu's arm strength should not be underestimated. Hu Yanzan is also a little more admired by the crown prince.
"Why are you going to let me stand here and not let me in for a cup of tea, when have you been so stingy. Hehe. Zhao Xu said jokingly.
Han Da is Zhao Xu's name for Hu Yanzan's amnesia for a while, and he is the only one who calls him that. Huyanzan listened to it, and his heart was warm
Since his injuries were healed, no one calls him Han Da anymore, and he rarely sees Zhao Xu. Although he has returned to his former self, he has not forgotten the experience of being a bandit.
still remembers the laughter and laughter on the way when Zhao Xu took him to Bianjing, but now it is gone, but Zhao Xu's simple voice made him find a lot of memories.
"Eh, the prince, please come in, someone will serve tea, good tea." Hu Yanzan woke up from his memories after being reminded by the housekeeper, and hurriedly beckoned Zhao Xu into the house.
"Haha, good tea, your tea here is really good, are you not eating meat and drinking tea instead?" Zhao Xu took a sip, couldn't help but praise this as a good tea, and at the same time teased Hu Yanzan.
Hearing that Zhao Xu ate meat for him again, Hu Yanzan's old face couldn't help but blush:
"Hehe, what is the prince still mentioning about that? By the way, this is Yiyang's hair tip is good, isn't it very special. ”
"Yiyang hairy tip, good has a fragrance." In fact, Zhao Xu still wants to say that Mao Jian is not Xinyang, I don't know that there is no Xinyang title now, Yiyang is the Xinyang of later generations.
"Haha, the prince is just a tribute, which was given to me by His Majesty, of course it is the best. This is the most famous lip tea, and of course it is very fragrant. ”
Zhao Xu still has a little understanding of lip tea, according to relevant folklore and historical records, lip tea, as a tribute tea to the court of all dynasties, is to choose **** for tea collection.
Fresh buds and leaves are collected from the lips of **** and stored in the chest of the tea picker, and the "initial roasting" of the tea is carried out through the body temperature of the tea picker, so some data records also turn "lip tea" into "** tea".
It's just that I don't know if it's true, and I didn't expect that there really is such a saying, and I can be regarded as seeing it today.
