Cangzhou, gale

The wind blew through the spirit summoning flags in the camp, and the hunting sounded.

Hu Yangeng stood in front of the solemn sergeant queue, looking at the dead Song soldiers and red scarves displayed in front of it. With the main general Zuo beside him, he knelt down heavily. A chorus of voices came from the queue behind. He stood up, and a long, mournful voice swept over the camp.

"Spirit~"

All the people automatically followed the queue of the soul giver, silently looking at these familiar or strange comrades, they also had a warm family, a loving husband and wife, and a smart child, and now, the family is broken, there is nowhere to be a home, and finally the soul returns to the sky. The soldiers and ordinary people in Cangzhou can watch the ceremony on their own, and the whole funeral process is solemn and fast.

The red scarves were clinging to their rudimentary weapons, gently flapping the wooden shields beside them. The beat and the soft crying of relatives passed through the equally quiet Cangzhou City, and passed through the powerful gentry who came to watch, as if the family was sending soldiers on an expedition.

The Song soldiers in Cangzhou were in strict formation and did not say a word.

In the distance, the powerful gentry who came to meet Hu Yangeng were watching the action of the red scarf. Hu Yangeng invited everyone to Cangzhou to meet, and a few days later, they arrived, and the matter was on the side of the road, looking at the crowd at the funeral ground.

"This so-called mourner? I feel the same way," a Haoqiang sighed.

"Sad but not sad, still a ghost." The other said.

"We are gathered here, not to discuss the funeral rites, now that Huyan Geng has firmly possessed the four towns, he wants us to follow his new armor. Where do we go from here? Do you want to do what he said, and cooperate with the capital he appointed? ”

"Huyan Geng is a Hexi man after all. If the Jin soldiers are finally destroyed, he will not live here for a long time, and if he leaves, those Dubao will become rootless trees, and the taxes and fees we pay to Dubao will be lost. ”

"As you said, we should expel Huyan Geng to welcome the imperial court?"

"In the face of the threat of the Jin people, the imperial court is afraid that it will not mobilize Hu Yangeng for the time being."

"It's just that we are still sitting on the wall and watching, then Huyan Geng may not be willing, even if Huyan Gengeng is willing, the Jurchens are savage and easy to kill, if Jin Bingnan, we will still let the mermaids and meat, and we will not be willing in the end."

"I can't wait for this year's summer tax to be handed over to the capital, and then it's not too late to make a decision."

Paying the summer tax first, and being vain is the attitude of most heroes on Hebei East Road towards the new armor. Hu Yangeng asked them to observe the funeral of the fallen soldiers in the four towns, originally wanting to remind them that the soldiers and men had made great sacrifices for the stability of Hebei East Road, but it seemed that the effect was limited.

Hu Yangeng did not know the discussion of these powerful landlords, he concentrated on giving pensions to the families of the war dead, some of the war dead had no families, Hu Yangeng also specially found orphans or families with several children from the displaced people, and gave the war dead heirs. The remains of comrades-in-arms brought back from the battlefield are buried in the cemetery.

The text of the tombstone is simple: name, ancestral home, battles killed, main merits. But the stone used for uniformity, each of the war dead was cremated and put into clay pots, and the clay pots were also specially fired, all of which seemed simple and grand. Some military men may have received the best treatment of his life at this funeral.

"The soul is back! Defend me Shuli. With the chanting of the soul calling, the funeral ended.

Hu Yangeng took Qiu Muling Zhonglian, Lulu Guleping, and Pu Liuru Bosheng back to Cangzhou Prefecture. Puliu Ru Bosheng specially sent the ashes of the red scarf killed in the war to Cangzhou.

"Brothers, you have been promoted to pacification envoy, and you haven't congratulated you yet."

"Young Brother Xie."

"Bo Sheng was promoted to pacification envoy, and the establishment of the Red Turban Fourth Army was recognized by the imperial court. You hurry up and send a letter to the Xuanfu Division, and ask them to replenish your ordnance and food. ”

"The people from the court are very annoying. I don't enjoy dealing with them. ”

"I hate it, I have to ask for something, I can ask for a little bit is a little bit, now that the gold thief is in the north, the Red Turban Fourth Army must hurry up the whole army, I can only equip you with a command ordnance."

"Just a conductor? Panzergrenadiers. ”

"Yes, the Red Fourth Army under your command is organized into three regiments, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth regiments. I'll give you twenty more spears and twenty more of the Side Cards. Top 10 Archers Sect"

"That's good, my subordinate Li Jingzhong used to be the head of the Western Army, but he couldn't be busy alone. What about rockets? ”

"There are no rockets, sawn wood, painted, the process is messy, there is not much inventory. In the future, when the yield is high, I will match it for you. ”

"Now that you are pacification envoys, you can directly submit a letter to the imperial court, the Privy Council, and the Xuanfu Division. Pay attention to the name when you go to the book. When talking about the affairs of this town, use the name of this town, but if you talk about the things of our brothers together, do not use the name of the four towns of Heshuo. ”

"Why?"

"Unlucky." Hu Yangeng didn't bother to explain, "For example, if you call me, don't use the four towns to rule, but just call Heshuo the red scarf to caress you." ”

"Can the court recognize it?"

"Write like this first, and then talk about what the court doesn't recognize. Jin Bing will definitely go south again this autumn, and the imperial court will not be able to care about anything at all. In the end, we will get from the imperial court the authority to appease and command all the righteous people in Hebei, Hedong and Hexi. ”

Hu Yangeng asked Qiu Muling Zhonglian again: "Did the Jin soldiers go to attack Pingzhou?" ”

"No, it seems that the gold thief has been badly injured in Hebei and is unwilling to consume troops in Pingzhou."

"That's good, Jin Bing won't come, hurry up and rest and train, and I'm going to transfer Yang Shizhi to a regiment to be Sima."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian received the order. Speaking of which, Yang Sansheng and them are also small.

"Today, I sent all the soldiers who died in the war away, and said something festive, I asked for an emperor to be a daughter-in-law for the three of you. When the Queen Mother chooses an auspicious day for the zodiac, she will send someone to complete the marriage. ”

"Then we're going to be a colt?" Lulu Guleping grinned, "I don't know how the emperor looks like?" ”

"The bloodline of the Zhao family, it's hard to say what the men are, and most of the women are beautiful." Hu Yangeng said with a smile.

"Why?"

"You think, royal family, generation after generation of beauties marry, they must become more and more beautiful."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "The imperial court has always guarded against military ministers, how could they recruit the three of us as concubines so happily this time, I am not from a good background, but a retainer of the Huyan family." ”

Pu Liuru Bosheng said: "You are pretending to be confused, just to encircle and divide the subordinates of the young brother." I can't wait. ”

Hu Yangeng said: "This is what I specially asked you to come, why do you want to shirk, our brothers are in the same breath, how can a few emperors be divided." Hu Yangeng suddenly thought of something, "These emperors are also pitiful, marry you, and you should treat them well." ”

He already knew that the three emperors who were going to marry were Yifu, Renfu, and Xianfu. These three emperors were all teenage girls, and in another time and space, they were taken captive by Jin Bing to the camp of Liujiasi and tortured to death in just a few days.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian and Pu Liuru Bosheng returned to their respective stations the next day, and Hu Yangeng continued to preside over the relocation of Tanggu in Cangzhou. On April 20, the Xuanfu Division sent a decree from the imperial court, with Zhang Yancheng as the deputy envoy for the transfer of Hebei East Road, and sent a small mention level, which was generally in line with Hu Yangeng's expectations.

At the same time, there was another order from the Xuanfu Division, Ma Kuo was trapped in Feihu, and Huyan Geng sent soldiers and horses from the four towns to rescue.

Ma Kuo?

Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie have been fighting guerrillas in the Taihang Mountains west of Zhending, after the Jin soldiers withdrew from the southern part of Hebei, they increased the "appeasement operation" in the occupied areas, and the monk cave where Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie were located was besieged by the Jin soldiers, Ma Kuo and others fought and retreated, and retreated into the Flying Fox.

Ma Kuo sent people to ask for help from the daimyo Zong Ze, and Zong Ze first dispatched the daimyo Wenda, Wang Yuan and others from Binzhou, but no one moved, so he went to Cangzhou to call Yan Geng.

The Flying Fox is in the northwest of Zhending, and its western exit goes straight to Datong, Xijing, Jinguo. Huyan Geng's main force was on the coast of the Bohai Sea, and he and Ma Kuo were completely separated by Jin soldiers. Hu Yangeng was in the study by himself, looking for the contour map, thinking about the path to the rescue.

This road is really hard to find, not only to look at the terrain, but also to guess where the Jin soldiers are stationed. And the Song army was blind to the stationing of Jin soldiers north of Taiyuan-Zhending.

Information! Hu Yangeng casually wrote down on a piece of paper in his hand that it was time for an intelligence agency. Otherwise, his understanding of Bianliang's situation would be a month slower, and he would not know the progress of Jin Bing. But who is in charge of intelligence? I don't know how to build an intelligence organization, and I didn't write about it in the few books I brought.

At this time, Zhang Chan pushed the door in and brought him a bowl of soup cakes.

"Did Dai Juan do it?"

"I did."

"It turned out that Mrs. made it herself, and that's still rare." Hu Yangeng picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup.

"How?"

"Not bad." Hu Yangeng was also hungry, so he ate the soup cake in two bites.

Zhang Chan looked at the atlas spread out on the table: "Where are you going this time?" ”

"North of the east side of the river. Yunzhou Road. ”

"Is that the Yunzhou of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun?"

"yes."

"So far? How long will it take for the officials to come back? ”

"If it's fast, half a month." According to the road that Hu Yan Geng just considered when he looked at the map, unless he came and went without delay for a moment, he would go back as soon as he arrived at Flying Fox, which was about half a month. But he couldn't bear to say any longer.

Zhang Chan had already shed tears: "The Jin soldiers are going to fight when they come, and the Jin soldiers are going to fight when they retire, and they never stay at home for more than ten days......

Hu Yangeng wanted to persuade her, Zhang Chan said: "You don't have to say it, my father is still on Jingxi Road, for your backup, I also know that if the gold thief is not destroyed, there will be no peace, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart......"

Hu Yangeng didn't know what to say, he could only gently hug his wife and let her cry on his chest.

"I'm going to Yunzhou, what gift do you want?"

"Gifts?"

"Yes, in May, Madame will be sixteen years old, and she should give her husband a gift to Madame."

"I don't want any gifts, just ......"

Hu Yangeng gently covered Zhang Chan's mouth: "Madame Hugh has a tree flag." ”

"Tree flags? What flag? ”

"Say no more. Yunzhou is rich in good horses, and I will bring a foal back for my wife. ”

Thank you all for your support.
