Chapter 128: A Chance Encounter
Shao Xun himself is still dealing with the prevention of locust plagues in Guangchengze, and he does not refrain from being separated.
However, the bureaucratic machine of the Hou Mansion began to operate, and all kinds of materials began to be transported to the vicinity of the Green Willow Garden, and personnel also gathered here.
For a moment, it seemed to be the center of the storm.
Wei Fu and Liang Chen stood by the water, quietly looking at the endless stream of cars, horses, and personnel, only to feel that their eyes were almost insufficient.
Co-author Chen Hou is so famous, it's not a boast, he really has soldiers, a lot of soldiers!
The soldier didn't talk about anything else, his spirit was really good, and when he marched and walked, he held his head high.
When I sat down to take a nap, there was silence - don't think it's easy, in a team of military discipline, it is the norm for soldiers to exchange heads.
The carriage was loaded with weapons, armor, clay pots, tents, food, and other supplies.
There was a light snow today, and Ding Zhuang's auxiliaries took care of it carefully, not letting the materials get damp, in short, they were very careful.
"If the king has this soldier, Guanzhong should be as stable as Mount Tai." Wei Fu sighed.
"It's not that you're incompetent?" Liang Chen snorted coldly and said, "In the land of Yongqin, there has never been a shortage of good sons and daughters who dare to fight. However, there is a shortage of food and equipment, who still has the strength to work hard? ”
Wei Fu was speechless.
He sometimes always feels that God is deliberately targeting Guanzhong.
When there is no disaster elsewhere, there is a disaster in the pass.
When there is a disaster elsewhere, Guanzhong will inevitably not be able to escape.
Up to now, it is sparsely populated and withered. The dignified governor of Andu and the king of Nanyang can control only a few big cities. If the Xiongnu advance westward, they may be able to drive straight into the city and kill under the city of Chang'an in a short time.
But there is really nothing they can do about disasters, and they don't have the ability to turn money into food, so they can only let others say it.
Moreover, Liang Chen is very fierce, he was ordered by the king of Nanyang to strangle the father and son of the king of Hejian halfway, and Wei Fu didn't want to offend him too much.
"Shao Xun is going on an expedition?" Wei Fu didn't speak, but Liang Chen didn't want to let him go, so he asked directly.
"Didn't you already find out? In February, he will go east and go to Chen County, most likely to take care of the fiefdom and meet the tribes of Yuzhou. Wei Fu replied.
Liang Chen smacked his lips and said, "Such a piece of fertile land in Yuzhou fell into the hands of Shao Xun, and it will not be able to be controlled in the future." Why did Situ hand over Yuzhou so happily? It's really not good, it's good to give it to the king, and I can move a place later. ”
Wei Fu smiled and ignored him.
As a sergeant of Guan, how could he go to Yuzhou?
However, Situ did intend to recruit the king of Nanyang into the dynasty.
At first, I wanted him to be a commonplace, but of course I didn't want to. What is the way of the world today? Can Sikong be compared to the governor of Chang'an?
Later, he deliberately let him out of the town of Xuchang or Xiangyang.
The king of Nanyang served as the governor of Xuchang, and if he could return to his hometown, it would not be unacceptable.
Jingzhou is more suitable than Xuchang, after all, there is no need to face Liu Han's threat.
However, there was no follow-up later, so he stayed in Chang'an, maybe the king of the East China Sea felt that Guanzhong was close to Luoyang, and he had to be guarded by someone close to him.
However, the ability of the king of Nanyang is insufficient, and he has been out of Chang'an for three years, but he has never been able to completely control the situation in Guanzhong......
"You say, the Xiongnu suffered a loss in Luoyang, will they turn to attack Chang'an?" Liang Chen arched Wei Fu again and asked.
Wei Fu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be so fast." Last year, when he attacked Luoyang for the first time, he went straight to the city, and finally withdrew because of lack of food. Now that we have figured out the truth and reality, most of them will come again this year. ”
"What if we can't take it this year?"
Liang Chen's words stopped Wei Fu, and he thought for a long time before he said: "If you can't take it this year, it's hard to say, Chang'an may be in danger." ”
Liang Chen was rarely silent.
If the Huns poured out to attack Guanzhong, with their current strength, they would definitely not be able to stop it. So the question is, will Luoyang send troops to rescue them?
A long shot.
"The princess is out." Wei Fu reminded softly.
Liang Chen came back to his senses and looked towards the door.
Princess Liu, surrounded by maids and servants, went out of the Green Willow Garden. Xu was in a bad mood, or it was snowing lightly, and the ground was slippery, so she accidentally stumbled directly and hit the stone lion at the gate of Shao Mansion.
The maids exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Liu's face was distorted in pain, but she pushed the maid away, forcibly resisted not shedding tears in front of everyone, and said, "It's okay." Don't blame yourself, I was careless. ”
The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned white, and she was relieved when she heard the princess say this.
"A-Niang is okay, right?" Sima Li rushed over and asked softly.
"Nothing." Hearing his son's concerned words, Liu endured the pain and said softly: "Jiao'er has grown up, and she must learn to be a man in the future, don't cry at the slightest pain, and give up at the slightest setback." ”
Listening to his mother's gentle words, Sima Li nodded heavily and said, "In the future, I will gallop like Chen Hou, rush left and right among the ten thousand troops, kill the enemy, and protect A-Niang." ”
"Chen Hou......" Liu sighed.
There are no good people in the Shao family.
But she didn't want to speak ill of Shao Xun and Lu Xun in front of everyone, so she only said, "Go back." ”
Sima Li nodded.
"Princess." Wei Fu and Liang Chen stepped forward to salute.
Liu Shi looked at them and said, "On a snowy day, you have worked hard. ”
"It should." The two replied one after another.
Liu nodded, unwilling to say anything, and got into the carriage with a dignified demeanor.
The chariot walked along and soon left the Green Willow Garden.
It was only at this time that Liu relaxed and silently thought of a way.
It's really not good, just take your son back to Chang'an.
She was reluctant to pass on her son to outsiders. Since Lu Xun is unwilling to go to Chang'an and let the heir serve, then forget it.
Anyway, King Fan Yang's pedigree has already recorded his son's name, and it doesn't matter whether he is filial in front of his mother-in-law or not.
So be it.
After a day of traveling north, the carriage suddenly encountered a large group of soldiers and horses, and had to retreat to the side of the road to avoid it.
Liu took his son to the village next to him to have some food.
"Silverspear Army!"
"Chen Hou's army!"
A customer in the restaurant exclaimed.
Sima Li, who was having a meal, was attracted by the mighty army, and couldn't help but walk to the door of the store, looking at the teams of sergeants walking by.
The sergeants looked indifferent and relaxed.
They marched without armor, bows, or silver spears, but they walked in a well-organized manner.
A gold-armored general rode his horse surrounded by his own soldiers.
"Prince, there is a wine shop here, which is run by the Silver Spear Army's own family, why don't you stop and have some food, rest your feet and then hurry?" In the midst of the wind and snow, Tang Jian shouted loudly.
"What own family?" Shao Xun was a little puzzled.
"Liu Datou, the second chief of the original Silver Spear Army, was injured when he slaughtered Xianbei in Chang'an, and his right arm was broken, so he opened a restaurant in this place where he traveled from south to north." Tang Jian replied.
"How's it going?"
"Most business travelers stop here, and business is quite prosperous. It was a person from the Silver Spear Army again, and he dared to come over to find trouble, and I heard that Liu Datou bought two concubines from the homeless people and worked as a maid in the back kitchen. ”
Shao Xun was very happy to hear this, and said, "My soldiers should live well." Forget it today, in a hurry, you go buy some wine and food, and share it with the soldiers. ”
"No." Tang Jian took the order and left, and soon entered the restaurant.
Liang Chen and others were intimidated by its might and did not dare to obstruct it.
Tang Jian hadn't seen Liang Chen and Wei Fu, so he just glanced at them casually and let them go.
But when he saw Sima Li and Liu, he was stunned, but he didn't say anything, and went to buy wine and food.
On the post road outside the restaurant, a horse galloped over, and the general's report was handed over to Shao Xun.
Shao Xun just took it, but saw the wind and snow blowing in his face, so he got off the horse, came to the restaurant porch, and opened it to read.
It turned out to be transferred to him by Taiwei Wang Yan, and it seemed to be a copy, recording the war that had just taken place in Yanzhou.
Liu Xian, the king of Quyang of the Han Dynasty, sat in Wei County, and ordered Shi Le and Wang Mi to lead their troops across the river and enter the boundary of Yanzhou.
Shi Le captured Baima, and then went east to attack Juancheng, the garrison of Yanzhou.
Wang Mi went south to Chenliu, and it seemed that there was an attempt to enter Yuzhou.
After reading it, Shao Xun was a little puzzled, he didn't understand the strategic intentions of the Xiongnu.
Fast in and out, loot and leave, or do you want to occupy it for a long time?
Wang Mi, right? You're here again? You've bumped into me again?
Shao Xun felt a little pity for him, and he didn't know how his soldiers who had lost three times in two years were training now.
Is it time to practice?
An argument erupted outside the restaurant.
Shao Xun turned his head to look at it, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.
His identity is not ordinary, so wherever he goes, a large group of soldiers will follow.
The entourage of the King of Nanyang was squeezed to the ground, and some people were disarmed and even searched, making chickens and dogs jump.
So he left decisively.
In the restaurant, Liang Chen was about to scold, but he saw several big men staring at him fiercely, so he decided that the heroes would not suffer the losses in front of him, and sat back and ate with their heads bored.
When Liu saw Shao Xun standing at the door, his heart lifted, but fortunately he watched it for a while and left.
Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to eat the crude meal slowly and methodically, while patiently correcting Sima Li's etiquette during the meal.
After a long time, Tang Jian and several personal soldiers walked out of the back kitchen, each carrying a few big burdens and steamed cakes.
Before leaving, he looked at Liu again suspiciously.
Liu glanced at him calmly and looked away.
The wind and snow are getting heavier, some people are returning north, and some people are going south.
After Liu finished eating, she took a car to Luoyang, and she also had to visit Pei, the princess of the East China Sea, and needed her help with some things.
Shao Xun returned to Green Willow Garden.
A few days later, Cao Fu, Pei Kang, Yang Yinzhi, Cui Gong, Pei Hui, Liu Anzhi, Chen Yougen, Li Chong and other military and political dignitaries arrived one after another, and even Yuan Yan, Le Zhao, Yang Man and others came.
In the next period of time, it is related to the future of the Shaw Brothers military and political group, and there is no room for sloppiness, so all the generals gathered together to consult and fill in the gaps.
Almost at the same time, Yu Min took a leave of absence and took Yu Liang, a scholar of the Hou Mansion, and Wang Xuan, a member of the Situ Shogunate, on the way to Yingchuan.
They went to the front station.
