Chapter 1032: Those who should come back are back
Chapter 1032 Those who should come back are back
The weeds on both sides of the official road are already half a man deep, and this is Gyeonggi Province, and all you can see on both sides of the official road is a piece of grain fields that seem to be drawn, neat and square. Now the grain fields are home to weeds, and when the grass seeds are ripe, a gust of wind can spill them out and become more lush the next year.
From time to time, I saw a grass snake crawling out of the grass, and before it went to the official road, it was picked up by the soldiers as a thing, and it didn't take long before it died. There will always be words like this among the people...... The horizontal snake and the rabbit are unlucky, and they will be unlucky when they see it.
Unless you get killed.
Of course, the soldiers didn't know that Fang Xie had an allusion to the white snake in his previous life, and Fang Xie had never had such a past. However, when Fang Jie's reckless son of heaven in his previous life was singing embattled songs, the soldiers with Chinese character flags should be in the same mood as the current Black Flag Army.
The march was rather dull, but fortunately they were in a good mood.
The white lion jumped out of the carriage in the morning, plunged into the grass to find food for himself, and soon came back licking his beard, jumping into the carriage and continuing to nap. As soon as it got into the cart, the colt pulling it let out a reluctant neigh. The pony had gradually gotten used to the fact that the beast was behind him, and now he dared to complain.
Fang Xie stroked the white lion's supple long hair, and read a historical record in his other hand. There is no allusion to palace punishment in this historical record, nor is it written by a historian of the Sui State, but by a down-and-out scholar named Dong Yanye during the Zheng State of the previous dynasty. This person tried and failed, exhausted his family wealth, and when he arrived, he had no idea of continuing to gain fame, so he began to write this book, which was mostly derived from wild history but was quite researched.
This book did not bring wealth and status to the east, and he eventually died of depression. It was not until the history of the Great Sui was rebuilt after the founding of the Great Sui that this book became a reference and gradually became familiar with it.
"The Lord"
Someone outside the carriage shouted, Fang Xie raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Outside was Chen Xiaoru's voice, revealing some excitement: "Just now General Zhuge Wuyun sent someone to send back the news quickly, Gao Kaitai's team mutinied, Gao Kaitai's strategist Fan Zengli led the generals to force Gao Kaitai to leave, Gao Kaitai scolded everyone, led his own soldiers to fight to the death, and finally outnumbered the crowd and fought to death......"
"General Zhuge sent someone back to tell the lord that he and Lu Fenghou had led the army into the Gao army camp and took over the command of the Gao army, and those who opposed Gao Kaitai were killed in the barracks, and all the generals who were close to Gao Kaitai on weekdays were killed, and the Gao army was in civil strife and many people died. However, now that the situation has been controlled by General Zhuge and them, General Lu Fenghou is rushing over here with Fan Zengli and some high-ranking generals. ”
"In addition, Cui Zhongzhen has already opened again."
Chen Xiaoru finished his words in one breath, and the excitement in his tone couldn't be hidden.
Gao Kaitai was solved, and there would be no tougher opponents north of the Yangtze River. After Gao Kaitai's death, Gao's army was in turmoil, and there was no need to be afraid. Now that the Black Flag Army has no worries, it can enter Chang'an City safely and steadily, and it can start a war with the Mengyuan people in a down-to-earth manner.
"Arrange for someone to kill Fan Zengli, just do it cleanly and don't cause panic among those high-ranking generals."
Fang Xie commanded in a calm tone: "What to do, I have already instructed Zhuge Wuyun, those Gao Kaitai's subordinates are willing to stay with me, and those who are not willing to follow me will stay, these people will be a disaster if they are released." I will arrange for someone to answer and ask Zhuge to pull that group back for me. ”
"Whoa"
Chen Xiaoru answered outside.
"Also, send the people from the Xiao Riding School into Chang'an City to join Mu San. There are 100 households in the Ouchi Guard Office that are easy to rush, and the income is Xiaoqi Riding School, which is raised to 1,000 households. ”
"Whoa"
"Go ahead, you can tell me anytime if you have news from Dongjiang."
After Fang explained this, he continued to lower his head and read the book.
"You're about to enter Chang'an City, why don't you seem to be happy at all?"
Xiang Qingniu, who was sitting on the side boredly combing the whip of the white lion, asked, the long hair on the back of the white lion's head had been braided with more than a dozen braids, which looked a little funny. Xiang Qingniu was not interested in how Fang Xie handled military affairs, and he also knew that it was inevitable for Lu Dao to execute that Fan Zengli. There are still many people in Gao Kaitai's army who have not come to their senses, and Fan Zengli is dead, which is beneficial to controlling Gao's army. This person must now think that he has bargaining chips and Fang Xie to negotiate, and try to ask for as many benefits as possible, and it is conceivable that it is useless to keep the talents of dozens of generals.
"I thought I'd be happy, excited, excited."
Fang Xie raised his head and glanced at Xiang Qingniu: "But when I got here, this feeling still didn't come." I am thinking more about the war in the east and the war in the northwest, but the things in Chang'an City are not in my mind. It won't be long before I leave Chang'an City, and it doesn't seem like there's an end here. ”
"The starting point?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
Fang Xie didn't know how to answer, but life is true, and there is never only one starting point. If the starting point this time is Chang'an City, then the end point is also where the next starting point will be?
……
……
In the afternoon, the Chengde Gate in the center of the south of Chang'an City slowly opened, which was the first time that the Chengde Gate was opened after Chang'an City was trapped for several years. A while ago, when Gao Kaitai withdrew his troops, someone had gone out of the city, but at that time, it was Yong'an Gate near the southwest corner of the city wall, which was much smaller than Chengde Gate in terms of scale. And when it is opened, it is immediately closed, and when the person who went out to look for vegetables comes back, he opens a crack and puts the person in.
This time, the Chengde Gate is wide open.
The news spread quickly, and the people of the entire southern city were almost boiling. It has long been rumored that the Duke of Zhenguo led his troops back to the city, and the people of Chang'an City are no strangers to this name. Compared with the unfamiliar ironclad general or the unknown Wei Mu, Lord Xiaofang's name is much more cordial, not to mention, it is said that Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the eldest bloodline of the Yang clan of the Great Sui, is also in the Black Flag Army.
The people of Chang'an City have always had a dependence on the royal family. In other words, the people in the imperial capital are more servile and have a very strange sense of pride. It's like living here, and everyone is a relative of the emperor.
As soon as the Chengde Gate opened, all the people nearby flocked to both sides of the road. In the crowd, everyone is looking forward to it.
However, to their disappointment, it was not Zhen Guogong who led the way into the city.
The most advanced city is 600 Xiao Riding School, wearing dark blue brocade clothes and big red cloaks, people are like dragons and horses and horses, and the momentum when they enter in a formation is impressive. Leading the team into the city was Liao Sheng, a thousand households of the Xiao Riding School, who straightened his chest very straight, and the boiling pride made him a little unable to calm down.
Behind the Xiao Riding School, there are 10,000 fine riders.
The cavalry general Lang Chengdong took a group of generals and escorted Dugu Wenxiu into the city. Before entering the city, all the soldiers had changed into new uniforms, and they were all in good spirits. Tall war horses, majestic soldiers, neat queues, majestic and solemn. One by one, black battle flags fluttered in the queue, and the big square words on the flags were so clear.
Mu San stood at the door with Yi Chong and the others waiting, the excitement in his heart was indescribable. For a few years, he has been living carefully in Chang'an City, just to welcome this moment. Seeing the familiar flag, Mu San burst into tears. If Yi Chong hadn't pulled the corner of his coat from behind, he might have cried.
"Kizo?"
Liao Sheng got off the horse and asked.
"It's me"
Mu San hurriedly said.
"Grandpa Guo asked you and Yi Chong to go back to the camp immediately, and you just left a few people who are familiar with the situation in the city. After working hard for you in the past few years, you are waiting for the generous reward of Grandpa Guo. ”
Liao Sheng said with a smile.
These words, so gracious.
Mu San rubbed his sour nose, turned around and discussed with Yi Chong, and then left a few capable subordinates to assist Liao Sheng, and the others took them to the camp to see the Zhenguo Gong. They walked out of the city, Liao Sheng shouted again, and caught up from behind, and his subordinates handed over a new round of Xiao Riding School brocade clothes.
"From now on, you will be the thirteenth thousandth household of the Xiao Riding School."
Liao Sheng looked at Yi Chong and smiled: "In the future, we will be brothers, and we will all be brothers when we enter the Xiao Riding School." ”
Even if it is easy to flush, there is some redness in the eye sockets.
"Where's Luo Ye?"
Liao Sheng asked.
"He returned to the mountain behind the martial arts academy, and he knew that the lord would not enter the city today, so he didn't come with him."
Mu San explained: "When will the lord enter the city?" ”
"Why don't you ask for yourself."
Liao Sheng smiled, turned around and entered the city with the Xiao Riding School. Followed by Mu San and Yi Chong, he greeted Dugu Wenxiu and the others, although he was not familiar with these Black Flag Army generals, the cordiality in his heart could not be replaced. He met Lang Chengdong when he followed Fang Jie, and the two chatted for a while before leaving.
"It's a pity ......"
Lang Chengdong looked at Mu San's back and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that it came out of the palace, if he is a sound person, how can this great reward be low." ”
Dugu Wenxiu shook his head: "Why don't you know the lord, the lord has never been eclectic." Although Mu San is a eunuch, but meritorious is meritorious, if you don't believe it and look at it, if the lord doesn't give him a big official position, I will lose you a pot of old wine. ”
……
……
Chang'an City
Martial Arts Academy
An old man with gray hair and beard stood in the doorway, looking up at the sky with tears in his eyes. He had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the day when the Yanwu Academy would be able to rise again. Since the death of Emperor Yang Yi, the Yanwu Academy has existed in name only.
Although his identity as the dean is somewhat undeserved, he has really devoted his life to the Yanwu Academy, and when the real owner of the Yanwu Academy surfaced, people seemed to gradually forget his name. However, in any case, he occupies an extremely important place in the history of the Performing Arts Academy.
His name is Zhou Banchuan
It's just that it's only been a few years, and he's already old.
"Dean?"
He heard someone call out to him, and turned his head to look.
Qiu Yu walked over quickly and supported the old man, who seemed to be dying. Once, she and this old man had quarreled more than once, and this stubborn old man was always angry, and she wanted to demolish his house. Now, when we meet again, there is an illusion that it is like a world away.
"You're back, too!"
Zhou Banchuan took Qiu Yu's hand, and his body trembled involuntarily: "I've been waiting for you, waiting for you all to come back." When you come back, the students will also come back, and the Yanwu Academy will still be the Yanwu Academy. ”
"Yes"
Qiu Yu nodded vigorously: "The Martial Arts Academy will always be the Martial Arts Academy, and it will not collapse." ”
street corner
There was a man of five big and three thick who wiped the corners of his eyes with a gray apron, and his nose was red as if he had been smeared with a layer of red paint. He hid behind a street corner, secretly wiping away tears.
"What should come back always comes back...... I...... Can't come back? ”
He was asking himself.
But the thought of what he had heard that night made his heart tense a little. If you come back, will it be difficult to return to your old life? He stood there silent for a long time, and finally turned away in silence. Qiu Yu seemed to sense something, turned his head to look this way, but saw nothing. She stared to perceive it, but she didn't notice anything unusual.
