Xue Ping sat in the tent, waiting for the generals to be quiet, and said a new war.

It is necessary to wait for Dou Chengtan, Wang Enter, Yi Meng and other escort grain ships to arrive, and then give orders.

Master Shang Shu said: "Recently, the counties and townships along the Yellow River and the canal have reported that several bandits have gathered in the Yellow River and looted passing merchant ships, and they are very arrogant. General Wang and General Fan's two teams of men and horses will return to the battle, and they will rest for a few days, and then reorganize the army to quell the thieves. ”

The generals talked a lot, and there were battles, all of them were gearing up and eager to try.

Xue Shangshu briefly talked about the military situation, looked at the sky, and listened carefully to the battle situation of Shen Qiu and the thieves. After Wangxiao finished speaking, Xue Shangshu was greatly surprised and praised Wangxiao's use of troops.

Xue Ping praised: "Shen Qiu Ping thief, the Han envoy of the Xuanwu Army praised the strange plot of General Wang and other Jin Tan Liuhu, and expressed deep gratitude to us for taking the initiative to share the worries of the imperial court. The Xuanwu army gave each person ten brocades and one horse. The Son of Heaven also issued an edict that in the future, the affairs of Yingzhou will be returned to the Han envoy. ”

He lit Fan Dan again and listened to the details of the canal's grain protection. He would like to express his deep appreciation for his hard work and great achievements.

Xue Tantu said with emotion: "The canal protects the grain, and Li Fujiao will know the pros and cons." In the future, the affairs of the Yicheng Army will not dare to get involved again. ”

He asked about the battle situation of the generals who went out and surrendered one by one, and said: "The merits of each general, the brigade commander, the team leader, the fire commander and the new generals who stand out in the battle formation, this town will reward them for their merits and deeds, show the Son of Heaven, and seal them one by one." The fallen generals will also be honored according to their merits, and their descendants will be affected. ”

After Shang Shu finished speaking, he whispered to Li Guojiang, the secretary in charge.

Li Guojiang Zhensheng declared: "General Wang and General Fan are returning, and Master Shangshu is sympathetic to the hard work ahead, and tonight is a big celebration banquet, and I will be rewarded." ”

Xue Shangshu announced the refund and waited for the banquet.

Everyone, come out and greet each other.

After a while, wine and meat were placed in front of the generals in the tent. Xue Shangshu took the lead and said some words of praise to celebrate the achievement. The generals raised their glasses. After eating and drinking, Xue Shangshu and the secretary Li Guojiang and the marching Sima Wangling passed and toasted the generals and newly surrendered soldiers one by one.

First went to the armor-piercing bronze spear Wangyunbi, and said with a smile: "How much is General Guigeng?"

Wangxiao hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "The last general was born to Gengzi in the third year of the Qianyuan Dynasty of the Suzong Dynasty, and he lived in vain at the age of fifty-four. Fortunately, Lord Shangshu raised his love and became famous, and Yun Bi was not ungrateful until he died. ”

Xue Ping laughed heartily: "This town thinks that you and I are almost the same, so you know, I am seven years older than you." In the future, you and I will be officials in the same court, and when we have private relations, we will be called brothers. ”

Wangxiao hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "How can the last general, dare to climb the Tang Pillar Stone, dare not dare." ”

Xue Ping picked it up, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "The virtuous brother's plot and report to the Son of Heaven will inevitably shake the government and the opposition." One day, the Son of Heaven will edict me to discuss the army, and this town will take you there, so that the Son of Heaven can rest assured that his righteous army is a sea golden beam. ”

Wangxiao was shocked in his heart, and said: "The last general is talking about the army in Shenqiu, and Shangshu has seen it?"

"Oh, did you write a military treatise? Xue Shangshu was even more surprised.

At the Shenqiu celebration banquet, the five thieves mentioned by the last general, the Yingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Ji Materia Medica became a chapter, and the last general made a seal, and it was also enshrined as a magic weapon for governing Ying. Wangxiao said.

"The virtuous brother really has miraculous skills and a good plan. You and my brother meet, the Tang Dynasty is fortunate. When Xue Ping heard this, he was even more appreciative.

"Shangshu has an overreputation, this battle did not have General Chang, General Chen's trick to lure the enemy, General Mu's song troupe, General Wei captured Yu Huan, General Du defeated Cui Zuo, and General Li of the Xuanwu Army set up an ambush in the reeds, and it was definitely difficult to achieve great success. ”

Xue Shangshu went to Changdu again and asked how to lure the enemy. Chang Du was witty and said a reason, which made Xue Ping laugh, and the generals in the handsome tent laughed forward and backwards.

Xue Ping toasted one by one, asked about the merits again one by one, and said some words of praise. All the generals were excited, their morale was high, and they vowed to go to the soup and fire when there was another general order.

Xue Shangshu was happy, and the banquet with the generals dispersed until the end of the day.

came out of the handsome tent, Wangxiao wanted to go back to his official residence, and the second son Panlong bronze stick Wangzhaobi took a step forward and said to his father: "Dad, the year before last, Layue went to Huaxu Mountain to worship Huaxu's mother, and it really worked. Your daughter-in-law, Wang, will give birth to a granddaughter for you, and tomorrow will be twelve days. Do you want to take a look first? ”

Fan Dan and Chang Du came over together and shouted, "Let's go, let's see the little granddaughter first." ”

The three vendors shouted loudly and roared to Wangzhun Tongfu. Wang Lingtong naturally knew, so he waited for the second brother to tell his father in person, and he also followed at this time. Mu Yu followed Wang Lingtong closely.

As soon as Wangyunbiao stepped into the courtyard of Zhaobi, he shouted: "Lao Wu, quickly bring my granddaughter and let me see." ”

Wu Shi panicked: "Yo, the old brothers are back." Drink some wine and don't shout, granddaughter just slept. ”

Listening to Wu's orders, the three elders immediately closed their mouths and tiptoed into the main hall. Wang took his daughter out lightly and handed it to his father-in-law.

Enjoy a long time, check the left and right, and watch endlessly.

Fan Dan also hugged and kissed, and took out a piece of gold, about five taels. forcibly stuffed it to Wang, and said: "Give your granddaughter a pair of gold bracelets to bring, which is considered a meeting gift for the second master." ”

Wu gave a deep salute to the second uncle, and said, "The granddaughter thanked the second grandfather. ”

Chang Du was not happy, and raised his voice: "Second brother, don't say anything about the granddaughter's meeting gift first, in the middle of the night, ask me where to find money." No, you have to lend me five taels first and pay you back tomorrow. ”

Fan Dan had a calm face: "No." ”

Changdu didn't care if he had it or not, so he went up and hugged the second brother and searched him. Sure enough, I found another lump, and there were five taels. Stretched out his hand and stuffed his granddaughter's baby bag and said, "I'm going to give my granddaughter a gold collar for this five-tael gift." ”

Wang also gave him a deep salute: "The little granddaughter thanked the third grandfather." ”

Changdu was happy and laughed.

The little granddaughter was awakened by him and cried "wow, wow".

The room burst into laughter.

Gao's wife, Li, was also here, coming over step by step with a big belly, and greeted her father-in-law, second uncle, and third uncle.

Changdu looked at it: "Oh, I'm going to give birth soon." The doctor doesn't have a pulse, is it a man or a woman?"

Li Youyou said: "The doctor said it was a girl. ”

"Hello girl, my Datang woman is the most expensive. I told your third aunt that if you don't give birth to a girl, you will divorce her. You don't know, she still stubbornly said that she had to leave me a seedling. Changdu laughed as he spoke.

Fan Dan came over to make fun: "The third child, the movement of Guan'er, maybe there are two in his life, a man and a woman." ”

Chang Du suddenly looked at Mu Yu and groaned on the side, and shouted: "Gao Zhi, the battle is over, when will General Mu marry you? ”

Li said: "Gao Zhi and I have already discussed, and we will marry my fifth brother in the near future. ”

Mu Yu came over and beat Changdu: "Third uncle, what are you doing when you talk about your business?" ”

Wu Shi came over and nodded at Changdu: "The third child is neither big nor small, he is a living treasure, and he has a lot of nosy." Okay, it's getting late, go back early and hug your Wan'er. Don't make her third grandmother anxious. ”

Chang Du roared: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that some people will be occupied by their granddaughters, and I have to be even more anxious tonight." ”

"Third child, watch me beat you. "Wu made a gesture to fight.

Changdu rushed out of the house. Everyone giggled and dispersed.

After the next day, Xue Shangshu still waited for Dou Chengtan to return to the army with the grain ship, and dispersed the account early.

Twelve days of granddaughters. Wangxiao Zhang Luo banquet.

Wang Lingtong, Li and his wife, Mu Yu and Kyushu came to work early.

Fan Dan and Ding came together.

Fan Zhi and his wife Zhang Miaoshu, their sons Ming'er, Zhen'er, Rui'er, and the little daughter Ba'er also came together.

Chen Zhe, Qi Diaohui, and Tian Zhu also came to congratulate each other with a pair of children, fruits, and leaves.

Baima County Ling Gu Liangguang, his wife Xue Yan, and his concubine Yunyun also came over with their children.

It was almost noon, the food and drinks were ready to stop, and the children were noisily starting the table. The grown-ups are still waiting for someone. was discussing, and the head of the door shouted: "Big brother, second brother, see who I brought here?"

When Gu Liangguang and Wang Lingtong heard that the fourth brother Yuxiang and Song Jiniang were here, they hurriedly ran out. The clouds and the rain also came out together. When everyone saw it, it was Ling Gongmeng of Liyang County and his mother Li Yaoxiang.

Wang Lingtong greeted them one by one and welcomed them. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li is here, quickly, take care of the horse, and let the guests go." This is a great dancer, and he is full of brilliance. ”

Li Yaoxiang smiled heartily: "Master Sima still remembers such a person, I thought I had forgotten the slave family a long time ago." ”

As she spoke, she came over and grabbed Wang Lingtong, with a slight tear in her eyes.

Mu Yu's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly came over to catch her and let her into the house.
