Chapter 997 Shenyang
The crisp sound of horse hooves can be heard walking on the plains.
At noon, we finally saw the inn.
The messenger was overjoyed and rushed over with all his strength. When he got close, he got off his horse and hurried into the inn.
After a while, a young man ran out of the inn, carrying a baggage, went to the stable, chose a sleek horse, turned over and rode on it.
A woman chased her out and shouted: "Yao'er, take a bite before leaving."
The young man waved his hand and galloped towards the west.
He ran all the way and arrived at Longxiang Mansion in Shenyang on the fifth day of April and submitted the urgent report.
After everything was completed, he collapsed on the ground and gasped, secretly thinking that the emperor ran so fast and had already entered Tongguan for dozens of miles.
"Where did it come from?" A group of about thirty soldiers pushed Chai Fei away and asked curiously.
"Huayin."
"You are an emergency delivery person at such a young age?" Fu Bing exclaimed: "At your age, I have just been kidnapped by the beggar army, and I don't know anything."
The young man smiled and stood up reluctantly.
A stout woman came out from behind the Fu soldiers, holding a wooden bucket in her hand. The bucket is very heavy and I don’t know what it contains.
The woman's hair was disheveled and her face was a little dark, which made people wonder if she was from Jin - er, Liang.
"Give him a bowl of porridge." Fu Bing pointed at the young man and said.
The woman was a little confused and didn't seem to understand.
"He! Porridge!" Fu Bing said briefly while making a gesture of scooping up porridge.
Only then did the woman understand. She looked around, then went to the stove to get a wooden bowl. After filling it, she came to the young man and handed it to him.
The young man was feeling hungry. After swallowing twice, he hesitated.
The soldiers from the government laughed loudly and said: "Although the Shenyang Military Mansion is only established for more than a year, it is still a mature land. Last year, a lot of grain was harvested, and the court also distributed a lot of relief grain. Yesterday, the emperor came and rewarded two bolts of silk. . It’s just a bowl of corn porridge, not worth mentioning.”
The young man took it and thanked him profusely.
The fragrant corn porridge had been out of the pot for a while and was only warm. The young man drank it happily.
The soldier looked at the woman again, pointed at her hair, and said, "How many times have I said this? Pull your hair into a bun. What does this non-Qiang look like with its hair disheveled?"
The woman seemed to understand and left.
She crossed a small bridge and reached the field on the other side, where she placed the porridge bucket on the ground.
When several men and women who were hoeing in the fields saw him, they put down their hoes and took wooden bowls to serve the porridge.
The soldier took out the tip of his bow from his waist, and while stringing it, he said: "The cuckoo is chirping, it's the farming season. That land also belongs to my family. It's really annoying to be left uncultivated. I just want to clean it up and plant some millet beans."
His words were unclear, but the young man understood.
Those people must be members of his family. They had to work, so they had an extra lunch.
If the host family does not provide it, then the tribesmen will only eat two meals a day, that is, one meal when they go out in the morning and one meal when they come home at night. It is definitely not full, but this is also the life of most people today.
Eating three meals a day is too luxurious.
Three meals a day of steamed pig-paste cakes was simply a sin, and probably only officials could enjoy it.
This soldier actually has a good heart, he knows how to make things better for his family, and he is not a harsh person.
"How are the soldiers at Hongnong?"
"I've been to the countryside once to deliver a letter. It looks good." The boy quickly finished the porridge, took the wooden bowl to the river, washed it carefully, and said, "I heard that several military officials are going to collect money to please People burned a kiln of bricks and built a new house.”
"It's really good." Fu Bing said with emotion.
The boy handed over the washed bowl.
The soldier pointed to the kitchen and said, "Put it in yourself."
The young man responded.
At this time, several children walked outside the courtyard, chattering non-stop. After seeing the soldiers, they all saluted.
At first glance, the boys who put the wooden bowls away seemed to be children of the Buqu family.
But these children's Xia Yan spoke well. Although they still had some weird accents, they were much better than the woman just now.
Seeing the young man's interest, Fu Bing chuckled and said, "When the children grow up, who can say they are Di Qiang? Anyway, I will let them change whatever I don't like."
"Do they listen?"
"Listen."
"Why?" the young man asked subconsciously.
"Maybe it's because I have a kind heart." Fu Bing said, and after saying that, he even smiled. The young man also laughed, but he felt that what Fu Bing said might be true.
"I..." After the young man finished laughing, he looked at the sky and hesitated.
"Going home?" The soldier picked up his bow and arrow, only to hear a "swish" sound and deviate slightly.
After cumming, he shook his head and sighed.
"I'm going back." The young man said sheepishly.
"Go." The soldier waved his hand, took out another arrow, and started practicing.
"Whoosh!" This time the straw man hit the target.
"I will also go to the military mansion tomorrow." The soldier smiled at the young man and said.
"Going to war?" the young man asked in surprise.
"As the emperor's retinue, go west to settle down." The soldier's face straightened, he stroked his bow and said: "If you want to fight for the emperor, that is your duty. When I was in the begging army in the past, I never expected that today would happen. ”
After saying that, he took out the third arrow and continued practicing.

The young man saluted him and turned to leave.

Shao Xun was stationed a few miles west of Shenyang Military Mansion at this time.
When we received the emergency report in the afternoon, we were convening elders from far and near for a banquet.
It has been more than a year since Liu Han was defeated. There were occasional rebellions in Guanzhong, but it was generally peaceful.
This is actually not surprising, because the main losses were the Xiongnu, and other tribes took refuge in time. Except for Feng Yijun, the pattern was basically unchanged.
If you don't interfere with other people's interests, they are not that stupid. If you have to get on the pole, you must rebel.
As for whether there are dormant careerists, you can tell with your toes that there must be some, many of them. But since they have chosen to hibernate for the time being, then treat them as sincere obedience.
In short, the main words are: live in peace and harmony.
Therefore, when Shao Xun arrived in Guanzhong, the scholars and chieftains were very considerate and came to see him one after another.
Shao Xun chatted and laughed with them, but in fact he was bored to death. After receiving the urgent report, he left the table and called for the accompanying Taibao Pan Tao, Shangshu Zuopushe Liang Fen, Zhongshu Shilang Shen Ling, and the ministers who came with him. Zhong Liu Runzhong, Fujun General Hou Feihu, Xi Zhonglang General Beigong Chun, Secretary Supervisor Lu Chen and others discussed.
The military reports were circulated one by one.
After everyone read it, they all pondered, obviously having ideas.
"Your Majesty." Pan Tao was the first to say: "There is no particular urgency when Zu Yue takes action. He has just assumed the post of General Zhenxi and led the Huainan Prefecture. Even if Sima Rui wants to move him, he will wait for a few more months. Now the three-pronged army has already Move out, the battle of Pingliang is approaching, everything is focused on Western affairs.”
When Shao Xun heard this, he laughed and said: "You are overly worried. Since I raised my army, I have been attacked from both sides. It is not uncommon for the north and the south to go to war at the same time. In the past, Cao Mengde took control of Henan, and it was like this. Zhang Shuo had six thousand silver spears in the camp, Fu Hong's troops are three thousand and the proton army is five thousand. , Zuo Feilong's guard has more than 9,000 soldiers, and these brave men are more than 20,000, supplemented by thousands of Dingzhuang, Shahai and Heyang navy from counties. What is there to fear? Maybe they can't go south to Hefei and Dongguan? But it is not difficult to guard Shouchun.”
Pan Tao said: "Your Majesty should be more careful. If Shouchun is lost, Hefei will be right in front of us. The Wu people will not give up and may lead to a war."
"If there is a war, I will mobilize troops and horses from Hebei." Shao Xun said.
"In this case, I have nothing to say." Pan Tao said.
The military strength of the Liang Dynasty was still very strong, especially the large number of soldiers that could be recruited.
During this western tour, the left and right Jinwu Guards each dispatched 6,000 men, the left and right Yulin Guards each dispatched 3,000, and the right Xiao Cavalry Guard also dispatched 3,000 cavalry. This amounted to more than 20,000 foot cavalry, and together with the 6,000 Heijin Right Battalion, The man has already gone west to Qinzhou and is under the command of Jin Zheng.
The retinue troops left behind include 2,000 pro-army troops, 6,000 Heijin left camp, 12,000 Yinqiang left and right battalions, 15,000 cavalry from Yi Cong and Luoyan armies, plus two temporarily recruited soldiers from Guanzhong Prefecture. There are more than a thousand people and about 37,000 cavalry.
In Guandong, in addition to the 18,000 soldiers who guard Luoyang, tens of thousands of people can still be mobilized locally, but it is not necessary.
Troops like Fubing are really easy to use, who knows who uses them.
If there was no war this year, Shao Xun would continue to order the deployment of government troops. Especially in Guanzhong, where there are many Hu people, it is very necessary to set up several more military offices. This time Feng Yi and Shangjun rebelled, and the Hancheng and Chaoyi defense troops played a big role in limiting the scale of the rebellion to one. Within a small area, it was not allowed to spread.
"Your Majesty, what Pan Gong said is not unreasonable." Shen Ling, the minister of Zhongshu, said: "In my opinion, the Jiangdong clan is still very concerned about Shouchun and Hefei. Once there is a loss, they will definitely gather a large army and the fleet will be traced back. It flows upstream and heads towards Chaohu Lake. It is not easy to fight here. In the past, Cao Mengde's soldiers were not very good. However, he could not cross Chaohu Lake. He could only look at the Ruxu River in vain and sighed, "Giving birth to a son is like Sun Zhongmou." br>
When Shao Xun heard this, he nodded slightly and said: "What Jing Gao said is not unreasonable, I know it. Just ask Zu Yue to delay. After Zhang Jun is defeated, I will personally go to Shouchun Water Control Master to meet with the heroes of Jiangdong." ”
I think back then, King Fu Tian came to Shouchun in person (at that time, it had been renamed "Shouyang" to avoid Zheng Achun's taboo), and sent Shangshu Zhu Xu to meet Xie Shi and persuade him to surrender - well, it seems unlucky.
But no matter what, it is always necessary to go south to scare the Wu people.
It may be difficult to directly destroy Jin, and the conditions are not yet mature, but it is not a big problem to fight a defensive counterattack.
Could it be that Bagong Mountain can’t create any idioms because of me?
"Sanlang, you go to Qinzhou as soon as possible." Shao Xun looked at Bei Gongchun and said: "Jin Zheng is the governor of the South Road, and you are the deputy. I heard that Xin Yan and his son were in Han, and Zhang Jun was also afraid of it. See if you can Persuade him to surrender. If he is willing to return to justice, I will establish him as governor of Hezhou."
"I obey the decree." Bei Gongchun responded immediately.
"Jin Zhun is ready to cross the river, let's not worry about it for now." Shao Xun said again: "I'll urge Wang Que'er again. It's April and it's still spinning in Shengle. How long will it take? Zi Liang, you can write the edict. The wording is fine. Be more tactful.”
"Yes." Lu Chen responded.
After arranging all this, Shao Xun stood up and said: "There are three places in the world: Northwest, Jiangnan, and Sichuan. I don't want to wait too long."
