King of Lanling

People are quiet, thinking about going to Bian Liang.

The broken steps sounded, the beads swayed, and the white arm curtain was setting.

The spring breeze sends night fragrance, and the fish and geese still fall.

Frightened, he peeked sideways, and it turned out to be the little girl next door.

Young and hateful, only innocent, don't know the autumn fragrance, don't smell the autumn waves like water?

Now he has returned gloomily, his fame has been lost, and he sighs and sighs in vain.

Little Joe is married. Otherwise, when you get up late, you see your sister-in-law making trouble, going back and forth in front of you, and you don't know the old people on the other side.

I don't see the smile of the year, I can't sleep, yes, yes, the years are gone.

Chapter 1: Plums and peaches are beautiful, and the blessings and misfortunes are unknown

Section 1: Return to the teacher's hall for discussion

Xuzhou soldiers have not yet returned to Yangzhou, there are already local officials, all the fathers and villagers, all the rich and powerful, heard the news and rushed to beat the gongs and drums, holding the sweet syrup with fruit water in Yingguiquan, Yu Huaicheng, Ren Jiabao under the leadership of the two old ladies out of Yangzhou City, and north out of the twenty miles of the road to greet each other, looking at each other.

When the army returned, Ren Tianqi and others hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, first saw the adults, and then thanked the villagers, and then returned to the general's mansion again, and the army also returned to the camp.

Everyone came to the hall of the Shuaifu, and the generals and guests sat down.

There have long been generals who have not gone north with the army at home, and a large group of people such as the county commanders, prefects, Simas, general soldiers, and commanders of the two prefectures and counties have fallen down in their robes, and a large piece of black pressure has been pressed, and they congratulated in unison: "The general is heroic and powerful, and the divine power lasts forever, and the subordinates congratulate the general on his great achievements and continue to be brilliant for my Xuzhou Department!"

Ren Tianqi smiled slightly, hurriedly raised his hand to get up and asked the adults to get up, waved his hand, and said with a smile: " Tianqi can have such an achievement today, one is to worship the love of the heavens, the rainstorm at dawn, cover the sky and close the sky, dark as night, bless me to go north, there is a god who does not know the wonder of ghosts, it is for the sake of righteousness; the first is to worship all the soldiers and soldiers who accompany the army to work together, for the generals to compete for the first, for the pawn to fear the last, brave and good at fighting, not afraid of hardships and fatigue, it is really Tianqi's hands and feet, handy, is to be happy; the other is to worship all the adults at home to work together to protect the people, food and grass are sufficient, strengthen vigilance, so as not to give outsiders a chance to take advantage of it, is to get help. Tianqi has such a fruitful result in the north this time, it is indeed difficult to achieve a good reputation, it is the blessing of Hongtian, the blessing of all adults, and the blessing of the soldiers!"

The generals smiled happily, bowed in unison and said, "The general is humble, and he is really a model for our subordinates!"

Ren Tianqi waved his hand, sat down and said with a smile: "My department has newly acquired 13 counties in the two prefectures of Xuhuai and Huai, and I have ordered the generals to sit in Xuzhou to protect the territory and the people." I don't know what your lordships think about accepting these thirteen counties north of the Huai River?

The adults looked at each other and whispered.

Yinggui took a step forward and said: "General, my subordinates think that it is a great benefit for the two states of Xuhuai to be owned by my Xuzhou Department, which can not only increase taxes and expand the territory, but also have room for buffering between the north and the south, and it is also the base for my Xuzhou soldiers to seek north. But can the general understand, although Huaixu Erzhou is said to be a large number of people, the fields are vast, but the people have always been strong, the folk customs are different from Tongyang Erzhou, and different from the Qingyou Zhudi, and the people in these two places have been lazy, aggressive, gambling, and love to petition, and they are not very easy to govern. However, as far as my Xuzhou department is concerned, there are few people in the land, there are not many people, and there are often natural disasters, so it may be difficult to bear the burden of too many soldiers, so the subordinate officials believe that the Xuhuai garrison should adopt a guerrilla strategy of mainly relying on local soldiers, and should be better than the people, and should serve the people in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime; and grain, grass, and money should also be based on the local trade-offs. In addition, Xu Huai is connected to the two states of Jin, Qing, and Yan, and Pingchuan is easy to occupy and difficult to defend, but it is not allowed to be used as a reserve of grain, grass and military funds, and it is said that a transit hub can be set up in Gaoyou. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded.

Ren Songyi also swept his beard and praised it again and again.

Yinggui said: "The lower officials also thought that this time I raised troops to go north, Lin'an did not attack from behind, and sent a large number of officers to the mouth of the Huai River to reward the three armies, and ordered all the departments along the river to feint to go north to support our department, it was the imperial court that gave me a lot of face in Xuzhou, so that I avoided the unfavorable situation of the war between the north and the south at the same time, and it was conducive to my best to be able to deal with the old prince's department." At present, since our department and the Dajin Kingdom are no longer as good as ever, our department should be a minister to the south in a timely manner, and write a letter to show loyalty to prevent future troubles. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "What's the trouble?

Yinggui said: "Although the general said that the prince of the south of the Dajin Kingdom is the son-in-law, but it is a private family matter, and now the two sides are their own masters, it is a major matter of the country; Although the Lin'an court did not take the opportunity to sneak attack, according to the report of the spies, it was also a frequent military transfer, but because of the many precautions of our department and the rapid progress of the war, it was unexpected and failed to find an appropriate time to make a move. The lower officials thought that as long as our ministry did not openly cede their residences, they should be declared vassals to the imperial court, especially when they recovered their homeland and dispatched border officials, they even demanded that the imperial court avoid being left behind. The more truthful it is, it will inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion in the imperial court, and once the imperial court is suspicious, maybe there will be worries about military disasters. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "What Lord Ying said is not unreasonable, Rong Tianqi will go to Lin'an Face Saint in person when he is looking for an opportunity." I think Lord Ying was transferred to Xu Huai Erzhou to serve as the state capital of the two places, and the rest of the term was promoted because of Lord Huaicheng. As for the jurisdiction of the two prefectures of Xu Huai, the general will not interfere too much, but it should be emphasized that the fireworks alliance is absolutely not allowed to disturb the people at the local level, and if it is found that it is revived, it is necessary to vigorously clean it up. As for the expansion of the army and the recruitment of troops in the two states, you can first recruit about 20,000 soldiers, and hand them over to the left and right generals after training into the army, and I will give you the post of hussar general and supervisor of the army, and assist the left and right generals to join the town in the northern frontier. ”

Yinggui thanked him and retreated.

Ren Tianqi said: "My Xuzhou Department has two major tasks that need to be started immediately, one is to rest and recuperate the whole army and replenish the necessary equipment and soldiers;

Everyone heard the general's cold tone, and their hearts trembled, everyone had intermittently known the relationship between the general and the Simon family, so no one dared to come forward to plead, and they all understood that the general loved the Oriental girl deeply, and at this time it was already a god who made it difficult to listen to everyone's advice.

Ren Tianqi also issued an order for all ministries and subordinates to readjust and change their guards.

Back at the back, the old lady Ren Songde was sitting in a huff, Dongxue and others were standing on the side, and Tang Shengzhi was also there.

The old lady inquired about He Zhixia's mother and daughter in Suzhou, and asked about the Three-Eyed Guanyin and Dongfang Bai, and counted a few words from Ren Tianqi before sighing and returning to the room to rest.

Only Dongxue was left in the hall, and Tang Shengzhi and Ren Tianqi were a few people.

Tang Shengzhi persuaded: "Brother Xian, since the matter has been revealed to the world, there is no need to let my brother and sister stay in Suzhou, and Mr. Ximen should also invite him back to the General's Mansion or Juxian Village as soon as possible to live and take care of him." But it's a big thing in your mind, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that it happened too suddenly!"

Ren Tianqi glanced at Tang Shengzhi, nodded, and sighed: "Third brother is right. I will ask someone to invite Mr. Simon back, but Zhixia's mother and daughter are not easy to handle! The county lord is not at home, how dare the younger brother take the liberty of bringing Zhixia's mother and daughter back? There is always an order of respect for the elders of the old and the young in the family!"

Dong Xue said: "Master, I heard from Qiling Temple that Mr. Ximen has left and his whereabouts are unknown. Only Xiaoyun has always been by my side and has never left. ”

Ren Tianqi looked up at Xiaoyun beside Dong Xue, smiled bitterly, and said, "Is Yun'er still used to being here?"

Xiaoyun nodded gloomily.

Tang Shengzhi was silent for a moment, coughed slightly, and said, "Brother Xian, are you a little too much for Brother Lu by the Huai River? How can you not even trust Brother Lu?

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What's wrong? What happened? No, what did I do wrong?"

Tang Shengzhi was silent for a while, and sighed: "I am also so persuading Brother Lu, Brother Lu is nothing." I'm worried that the other brothers will be chilled when they hear this!"

Ren Tianqi nodded, was silent for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Third brother, where do you and you say the county lord will take the sheep and sheep, will you go back to the imperial city, or will you go to Nanjing, or will you go to another country?" Hey, I don't worry about what hardships they will suffer, what danger they will encounter, Qixiang Baoche will ensure that they are safe all the way, I am just worried that they will not have a stable place to live, and the county lord and sheep are not used to it?" Ren Tianqi raised his head and looked at the top of the hall.

Tang Shengzhi shook his head and said regretfully: "Hey, it's useless to regret it now, let's relax and look forward!

Ren Tianqi nodded, silent, he suddenly looked up at Xiaoyun, and said in surprise: "Yun'er, why didn't you see your son-in-law and Bo Yifan after you came back, where did they go?"

Xiaoyun didn't understand: "Hui Ye, Brother Bo hasn't seen him for more than a month, and my son-in-law hasn't seen him since he sent us on the ship!"

Ren Tianqi was pleasantly surprised: "Are you saying that your son-in-law is not on the ship, so your son-in-law is still alive?"

Xiaoyun thought for a moment and nodded.

Ren Tianqi clapped his hands and said happily: "That's good, I finally find some comfort in my heart now." If you want to come to Ximen, Lao Taishan must be going to Jiangfeng Island to seek revenge!"

Tang Shengzhi nodded.

The next day, Ren Tianqi wrote two official documents, one to the imperial court, stating in detail the process of conquering Huai and Xu Erzhou, and presenting a list of text charts and related merits of Xu and Huai Erzhou, and a list of personnel to be promoted and transferred; He also wrote two letters to Murong Changhe and the leader of the Taihu Gang, asking Murong Villa and the Taihu Gang to go together to exterminate the twin ghosts of Jiangfeng Island and the Yangtze River. They sent people and horses to send them quickly.
