Chapter 52: Nanyang and Qinzhou

At the end of November, a guest came from Xuchang.

Princess Lu of Fanyang was still quite embarrassed when she saw Princess Liu of Nanyang.

However, under Concubine Pei's explanation, the mustard between the two was quickly eliminated.

After all, Liu has been through so much and is not so persistent about some things.

"Are you still writing poetry about women?" Liu asked as he sewed clothes for children.

Lu Shi blushed a little, how can everyone know about her hobby?

Thinking women's poetry is a poetry genre, and Cao Zhi likes to write it very much.

Fan Yang Wang Yu has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the Lu family is lonely, so he likes to read and write some poems about women, and sometimes he will send them to Fan Yang Wang, but unfortunately he rarely gets a response.

"Xiao He, how can you ......" Lu Shi looked at Liu Shi and asked softly.

Liu felt that he should be sad, at least his eyes were red, but he shamefully failed, so he shook his head lightly, not wanting to say more.

"Your two retainers have surrendered to Langjun, with two hundred guards, to take care of the Tunding prisoners in Guangchengze." Lu Shi said again: "I don't want Liuhua Academy, I'll give it to you." ”

Liu did not refuse.

The money brought over was almost used up, otherwise, would Wei Fu and Liang Chen work for Gong Chen?

Her only residence, Nanyang Palace, located in the east of Luoyang, was not safe and may have even been destroyed in the war. In Luoyang City, King Nanyang did not buy a house, otherwise she would not have lived in Fanyang Palace.

Xun Niang is willing to give her Guang Chengze's Liuhua Temple, which couldn't be better. The hospital has fields, there are villagers, at least food and clothing.

"Xun Niang, I said something heavy to you at the beginning......" Liu's eyes are really red now.

"It doesn't matter." Lu hugged Liu, and also cried a little, and said: "A few of us were like sisters back then, and we played together. After the troubled times came, there were only three left: you, me and Hua Nu. ”

Among the four brothers of Sima Yue, the concubine of Xincai Wang Teng did not know what happened in Yecheng, and after King Gaomi died of illness, the concubine returned to Qingzhou and did not know what happened.

If the Liu family hadn't come to Luoyang to compete for the family property, Princess Nanyang's fate would probably not be much better.

Since the death of King Fan Yang, the Lu family has been even more trembling, afraid of being eaten out of the house.

Of the five good sisters, only three of them are gathered here.

Lu and Liu couldn't help but cry when they thought of this. In troubled times, even if you are a princess, you are not exempt.

"Now the bitterness is over." After crying, Lu wiped his tears and sighed.

Her unintentional words made Liu's face a little red.

She felt that her defense line of will was already in jeopardy, especially under the collapse of the good sisters, and it was about to completely collapse.

She felt that she shouldn't be so sinking, so she struggled weakly: "Chen Gong is not a good person, he got all the women in our family back to give birth to him." ”

After saying that, it seems that it feels inappropriate.

The Lu family on the opposite side really made a big red face.

She came yesterday and was directly carried into the room by Lang Jun, and when the long sigh of satisfaction sounded, the back was completely confused.

She was petite, she seemed to be held in Lang Jun's arms, walking around the room, and she didn't know how she fell asleep in the end.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Shi took a sip.

Liu lowered his head.

In fact, she doesn't like to come over to Xun Niang, and there is always a trace of loss in her heart.

"Hua Nu called me over, do you know what it is for?" Lu asked.

"She-she might want to let you know something step by step, I can't say." Liu sighed, and the sense of loss became more and more serious.

If Hua Nu ignores the opinions of others and enters Shao Mansion as a wife and concubine, she will be alone here.

Thinking of this, it's not a loss, it's a fear.

But she gave birth to a daughter for Chen Gong before she had a name, but she didn't have anything.

She felt that she should find an opportunity to scold that person in private.

"Xiao He." Lu Shi grabbed her hand and said, "After Hua Nu gives birth, we will go out together to play arts." No, it's not a bright year, it's like that every year after that, how? ”

"Good ......," Liu replied weakly.

As she said this, she felt her face burn inexplicably.

It's over, everyone is pulling her into the water, and she doesn't really want to struggle.

"Hee-hee." Lu Shi smiled and said, "I heard that Lang Jun admires Liang Chen and Wei Fu very much, and plans to entrust him with important tasks." ”

"Huh?" Liu came to his senses and asked, "What important responsibilities can they take on?" ”

"Xiao He, you have been the princess of Nanyang for so long, you don't know how heavy your identity is?" Lu said with hatred of iron.

Liu seemed to have an understanding, but he didn't seem to understand it a little.

"Nanyang Kingdom is your family!" Lu said angrily: "Liang Chen is a general of the Kansai region, although he is a subordinate of the Liang family, he can also talk about family friendship with a shy face in front of General Wei Liang Fen. Wei Fu is a confidant of the King of Nanyang, born in the Jingzhao Wei family, and is a wealthy family in Guanzhong. The 200 guards you brought are also the best in Guanzhong. The maidservant who serves you, the master mother of Guanzhong, is even sent by the major families and the chieftains of Diqiang, what do you think about all day long? ”

Liu lowered his head embarrassedly.

"If Liang Chen and Wei Fu want to be released as officials, they will definitely come to resign to me." Liu suddenly remembered something and said.

Lu Shi was suddenly speechless, so he had to tell the truth: "I only proposed it to Lang Jun last night, but it wasn't so fast. ”

"Who taught you? Isn't it a flower slave? At this time, Liu suddenly became smart and asked.

"Yes......" Lu Shi said: "Lang Jun received a military report yesterday that Wang Ru was beheaded by his subordinates and sent to Liang Fen's camp, and Xiangyang has been conquered by him. After hearing this, Hua Nu gave Lang Jun an idea, and asked Wei Fu and Liang Chen to lead people to Nanyang Kingdom to appease the Guanxi refugees and balance Liang Fen. If you want, the princess of Nanyang can also go to seal the country. ”

Only then did Liu Shi understand, and secretly sighed that he had been trapped in a certain emotion all these days, and he didn't care about the situation outside at all.

Her husband was captured by the Huns, and it is rumored that he has been killed by Liu Han.

Her eldest son, Sima Bao, the son of the king of Nanyang, turned sixteen years old this year, before the Xiongnu invaded Guanzhong, he served as the general of Xizhong Lang, out of the town of Qinzhou Shangqi, and now should still be there, I heard that the king of Nanyang has been attacked, and did not surrender to the Xiongnu.

"Xiao He." Lu Shi leaned over and whispered: "Hua Nu said that Lang Jun is the most real, if you are useful, he will come over immediately to ask for warmth, good to you." ”

"Phew." Liu took a sip and said, "I'...... I hate him too late. ”

"Xiao He." Lu Shi said: "In troubled times, women must have something to rely on, otherwise what will be the end?" ”

Liu was silent.

She remembered that when the people in Kaocheng were panicking, that person jumped on a high horse, and the breath of a heroic man almost filled the heavens and the earth.

Thinking of this, she was a little upset and said, "Does he rely on women to make things happen?" ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he snickered and said, "When Lang Jun was down, he took a lot of money from me. ”

Liu sneered.

She knows that what she says depends on women to make things happen, it's just a joke.

Chen Gong led the army to fight and repeatedly broke the stubborn enemy, and the credit was all fought with a knife and a gun.

will make women happy again, if they can't destroy the Hun cavalry under Gaoping City, everything will be in vain.

"Xiao He." Lu Shi took her hand and said, "In the future, the three of us can go out together hand in arm, and no one should be separated, okay?" ”

Liu didn't answer, only said: "Chen Gong only treats me as a servant......"

After speaking, I felt that there was something wrong with this tone, and I immediately panicked.

Lu Shi looked at the expression on her face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the task assigned by her sister-in-law was finally completed.

"He's a snob." Lu Shi complained: "Wait for peace of mind." ”

******

In order to wait for Liang Chen and Wei Fu, Shao Xun postponed the trip.

On the fifth day of December, Wei Fu and Liang Chen hurried to the town army general's mansion.

"The situation in Guanzhong has changed dramatically." Shao Xun spread out a map and said: "Liu Yao has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and he has repeatedly suffered defeats. (Jia) and others won consecutive battles, and the momentum was huge. It seems that the recovery of Chang'an is just around the corner. ”

Now there are two anti-Han forces in Guanzhong.

One of them was the army of Anding Taishou Jia Kai, claimed to be 50,000, and the actual number was estimated to be less than 20,000.

In addition, the troops led by Fufeng Taishou Liang Zong, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Lute, and Xinping Taishou Zhu Hui claimed to be 100,000 people, and the actual estimate was 30,000 or 40,000.

Liu Yao and Zhao Ran added up to 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and the disadvantage was very obvious.

Moreover, after Jia Kai and Liang Zong raised troops, the people of Guanzhong Jin and Hu responded one after another, although their cavalry was less than that of the Huns, but they were also too few, so they were not so easy to deal with.

If Liu Cong doesn't increase his troops in Guanzhong, he can't stand it by Liu Yao alone.

"After Guanzhong is recovered, will the imperial court let the king of Nanyang supervise the four states of Yongqin, Liangyi?" When Liang Chen heard this, his spirits were lifted and he asked.

Shao Xun gave him a funny look.

What good do you think? Whoever fights down belongs to whom.

Sima Baoluo lives in Qinzhou, does he have the courage to come to Chang'an? A person like Jia Kai would willingly hand over the gate to a teenager? He has no ambitions?

Liang Chen quickly figured it out and sighed.

"In fact, there is still something to be done in Guanzhong." Wei Fu said: "Wuguan is in the hands of the imperial court, if you go west and north through this, you can go to Jingzhao Lantian." ”

Shao Xun nodded approvingly, and said, "Nanyang Wangzhen Qindi has been in Qindi for several years, and there are many old departments, can you recruit them?" ”

Liang Chen and Wei Fu glanced at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

If they can get Chen Gong's help, they can also get a piece of the pie in Guanzhong?

"Maybe you can give it a try." Wei Fu said.

"Well......" Shao Xun said: "I will return to Xuchang in two days, and you two will bring all the subordinates over and let me take a look." ”

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

"The heir of Nanyang is in Shangqi, maybe get in touch?" Shao Xun asked again.

Before Sima Mo died, in order to get a position for his son, he expelled Shi Peibao, the assassin of Qinzhou.

Pei Bao was helpless and stable, but the position of the assassin has not changed, and it is still on him.

Later, Sima Mo recommended his son Sima Bao to guard Shangqi, and the imperial court allowed it.

Therefore, Sima Bao, a sixteen-year-old boy, is not simple, he is similar to Shao Xun's identity: "Xizhong Lang will be the captain of Dongqiang in the town".

Because there is no governor of Qinzhou, Sima Bao's position is the de facto governor of Qinzhou. If Jia Kai, Pei Bao and others are dealt with again, Sima Bao will be able to control the entire territory of Qinzhou.

"Jia Kai and the heir are not on good terms, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Wei Fu said.

"The heir is only sixteen years old, and he guards Shangqi alone, do you think it may last a long time?" Shao Xun asked again.

Liang Chen and Wei Fu were difficult to answer.

The heir has only been in Shangtai for a few months, so it's really hard to say.

Moreover, there are some things that others don't know, and they don't know yet? The heir king's body is extremely fat, and he either sleeps or reads books all day long, not to mention the ability of the emperor, he doesn't even have this idea, to put it bluntly, it is "weak and unbroken".

Moreover, it may be the relationship of body fat, the heir seems to be a little impotent and can't be a royal woman, which is the reason why Li Mingming, the second son of the king of Nanyang, has been passed on to the king of Fanyang, but has been left in Chang'an.

"Sima Li is still in Liuhua Academy?" Shao Xun asked.

"Yes."

"You go to visit the concubine first." Shao Xun said: "In the New Year, or the country of the concubine, to appease the Guanxi refugees, to guard the fiefdom, if there is any difficulty, you can ask me to say, if you can help, you must help." ”

"Chen Gong is righteous and grateful." Wei Fu and Liang Chen said.

"It's not for you to help." Shao Xun said with a smile: "After accumulating strength in Nanyang, if there is a change in Guanzhong and the situation is improving, you can go to Qinzhou and contact the heir king." By the way - help me buy a horse, how? ”

"It's easy to hear." The two breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

Shao Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Definitely not going without a horse. After the end of the war with the Xiongnu, counting the captures, there were still more than 16,000 horses.

Beigong Chun, Wang Hu and others had already led the army to leave, and Shao Xun made up for the battle damage of the horses for them, and even gave them some additional rewards, so that there were only more than 12,000 horses left.

After Gao Pingguo set up the government soldiers, he was supposed to give all the horses, but later he was not willing to give them, and only selected a part of the relatively elite ones, gave 1,500 horses, and gave 1,000 pairs of armor - most of these government soldiers, most of them had neither iron armor nor horses, which lowered the average quality of the government soldiers.

The soldiers and horses that had been placed in the past were also missing, and hundreds of them were given.

In this way, there are almost 10,000 left.

Pick out a part of fertile mares or castrated stallions, and cooperate with more than 1,000 horses that Guangchengze is not willing to transfer, a total of more than 3,000 horses, and continue to graze and breed in Guangchengze.

In the end, there were less than 8,000 horses left, all of which were used by the righteous armyβ€”after some prisoners were captured, it had been expanded to 3,000 horsemenβ€”and for the daily training and riding of his own soldiers.

Horses are consumables, or have to be bought, it is best to establish long-term trading channels, Qinzhou is a very good window.

After these things, on the seventh day of the twelfth month, Shao Xun left Kaocheng and returned to Xuchang to prepare for the marriage.
