Chapter 449: Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao (Part 1)
When Shao Xun got up, he found that the red military robe he usually wore had been put away, and was replaced by a purple military uniform customized according to his body shape. It was very luxurious.
After putting on his military uniform under Lu Xun’s service, Shao Xun smiled and asked, please call me Colorful War Robe Shao.
The kitchen was opened in the middle of the night to prepare meals for Shao Xun and his soldiers.
Yu Wenjun got up a little later, so her husband’s meals were prepared by her own hands.
"One bucket of noodles, two pounds of mutton, one pound of green onion, black soy sauce and salt..." The method of making sesame cakes naturally jumped out of my mind, and my hands moved quickly. After the meat was cooked, I immediately started to make the cakes. Grilled.
Servants came in and out, carrying baskets of steamed biscuits outside. The sergeants sat on the ground inside and outside the yard, grabbing the biscuits and eating them.
Fuzhong also provides some sour water, which tastes very refreshing.
Two cakes per person, eaten quickly.
Officers above the team deputy level sat in the side hall, eating thin ring cakes, fish soup, pickled water, and even preserved meat. Their treatment was much better than that of ordinary sergeants.
The so-called thin ring cake, as the name suggests, is named after its ring shape. It is a kind of fried food. After walking in the oil, although the color turned green, it was crispy and delicious.
“I heard that the craftsmen who make alfalfa oil are so rich that they have more concubines than Lord Chen.”
“Everyone in the house asks him to buy alfalfa oil. Of course he is rich. "
"A few apprentices started to open stores at the beginning of the year, so it is not that difficult to buy oil in Xuchang."
"You started to work so soon?"
"Mr. The condition for buying alfalfa from him is to have more disciples and not to hide anything. "
"That's very good. I like to be particular about food, Chen. Please feed me.”
In the eating and drinking room, the officers whispered to each other.
Most people are quite satisfied with their lives today. Mr. Chen has changed so much and brought so many benefits to everyone.
On the other side, what the senior military officers talked about was more related to the current situation.
"Probably he won't beat Wang Mi." Yuan Xi said, "The prince of the mansion is still expecting me to avenge him."
Liu Ling smiled and said, "Which prince of the mansion is that? Is he your previous master?”
Yuan Xi’s expression changed and he glared at Liu Ling.
"Boom, boom, boom." Liu Ling seemed not to notice Yuan Xi's ugly face, and ate the thin ring cake as if no one else was around, shaking his head and clicking his tongue while eating.
Cai Cheng coughed.
Yuan Xi withdrew his gaze and drank the fish soup silently.
"It doesn't matter." Cai Cheng consoled him: "Hongnong will take care of it sooner or later. The Zhongwu Army will be rebuilt."
Yuan Xi cupped his hand to express his gratitude, and then continued Asked: "The owner of the building doesn't think he will fight Wang Mi anymore?"
Cai Cheng was not suitable to answer this question directly, so he only said: "Sooner or later he will fight."
Yuan Xi Nodding silently.
"Building Master, when the Zhongwu Army is rebuilt, is there a shortage of military schools?" Liu Ling saw that Yuan Xi was timid and felt bored, so he asked.
“Want to go out?” Cai Cheng picked up a piece of dried meat and asked.
"Didn't the Qinbing Building recruit more than a hundred people? Everyone is spreading the news that at least one team of people will be sent to the Zhongwu Army this time." Liu Ling said.
Cai Cheng looked at him with admiration.
This guy is mean, like an aggressive rooster. He offends people everywhere without realizing it. However, he has a wide circle of friends, is well-informed, and is a bit interesting.
But he also frowned.
Chen Gong does intend to let dozens of his soldiers who have been with him for many years serve as grassroots officers of the Zhongwu Army, but this matter is still just a matter of words, and the shogunate has not yet implemented it in practice. How did the news get out?
After thinking about it, it was probably because some of the soldiers on duty were lax and said it in private.
Gotta check it out, these bastards!
"Don't worry about things that shouldn't concern you." Cai Cheng glanced at Liu Ling and said seriously: "Don't talk about it everywhere. If something goes wrong, you should know the consequences. ”
Liu Ling's face turned pale, and he didn't even say anything back, but said yes.
Yuan Xi sneered, his meaning unclear.
Liu Ling seemed unaware. After drinking the fish soup, he sighed with satisfaction and said: "After all, it is not as good as meat soup. The wild boar soup that I knocked down last time was really good. Drink, some people didn't hit it with the first cut, but they didn't know what it tasted like. "
Cai Cheng kicked Liu Ling and said, "After eating, go and feed the horse."
"Yes." Liu Ling walked to the door and held the thick flagpole in his hand. After going out, he played with it a few times. The soldiers in the courtyard lowered their heads one after another, fearing that they would be swept down.
“It’s fun, haha!” Liu Ling put the flagpole on his shoulders and strode away.
Cai Cheng laughed angrily at him.
This man is so naughty, but Mr. Chen treats him very kindly. The reason is that Liu Lingyong is amazingly powerful.
Wearing three layers of armor and waving a powerful and heavy flagpole, they swept away a large area on the battlefield, leaving people stunned.
However, Liu Ling was also lucky, he met Mr. Chen.
If it were other people, they might not be able to tolerate his temper. This is fate.
After breakfast, it was already bright.
The soldiers silently checked the equipment and got ready to go.
Cai Cheng went to the backyard and asked Shao Xun when to set off.
Shao Xun was serving porridge to Yu Wenjun when he said, "Please go to the outside of the hospital to form your team first."
Cai Cheng took the order and left.
Shao Xun watched his wife eating quietly.
Yu Wenjun blushed a little and felt a little reluctant to give up.
It has been almost five months since the beginning of the year. The couple worked hard for a long time, and she finally became pregnant.
That day, she cried with joy, her whole person seemed to have become mature, and she thought a lot at once.
If she was just a little girl who was greedy for her husband's tenderness before, now that she is pregnant, she has a new bond in her heart. In short, she was going to be a mother, and her blood-related child would occupy a very important part of her life.
Shao Xun also keenly felt his wife's transformation.
People will always grow. Sometimes they grow with age and experience; sometimes they grow overnight because of some big event.
Wenjun's face still retains a lot of the childishness of a little girl, but it has begun to have the charm of a mature woman, which has a fatal attraction for him.
She witnessed his rise.
He witnessed her growth.
At this moment, Shao Xun forgot about other women - at this moment. To be honest, Shao Xun used to think that his little wife was very clingy and was a little annoying for a while. Now that his little wife has grown up, he is a little disappointed. Will Wenjun no longer stick to him like before? Did she just throw herself into his arms as soon as she returned home?
Human beings are cheap. Only when you lose them do you know how to cherish them.
"Husband, you should give top priority to state affairs." After Yu Wenjun finished eating, he said softly: "I will take care of everything at home."
Shao Xun was slightly stunned, these words were not like Yu Wenjun's previous style. She is more like a qualified and calm matron, rather than an obsessive little girlfriend.
"Okay." Shao Xun said.
"Come back soon, I will count the days to wait for you every day." Yu Wenjun couldn't help but added.
This is the smell! Right! Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
His women seem to be too mature, which makes him a little tired of aesthetics, and he needs something different to spice things up.
"Will you conquer it yourself?" Yu Wenjun asked again.
“It’s hard to say, it depends on the situation.”
“There are dozens of shogunate assistants and tens of thousands of soldiers. There is no need to do everything personally. The soldiers also have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.”
"Yes." Shao Xun nodded.
If possible, he would not want to fight in person.
But if the core force of the Silver Spear Army is handed over to others and taken out, I always feel uneasy.
What if someone messes up?
The six thousand veterans of Silver Spear Zuoying are really difficult to replace. Do you want to shout in pain after the entire army is wiped out: "Give me back the legion!"
By the way, the Silver Spear Left Battalion has been withdrawn. The order just issued was to replace them with the levy of three thousand soldiers. The soldiers of the government rushed to Heyang North City on horseback to change their defenses, while another three thousand troops slowly walked on foot to join them.
But this army cannot rest for long.
If we go on an expedition to Hebei, it is not safe to rely solely on the 6,000 men of the Silver Spear Right Battalion.
There are also 6,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of the left camp and the right camp is very different.
"I'm leaving." Shao Xun wiped his wife's mouth with silk and said.
"Yes." Yu Wenjun hugged him. He was about to say something about missing his children, but stopped and said, "Husband, don't worry about your family. I have everything to do with you."
"Okay." Shao Xun responded.
Really grown up!
After arriving at the courtyard with his wife, Cai Cheng had been waiting for a long time. Yang Qin carried a spear, heavy sword, spare bow tips and quiver for him.
Shao Xun looked at his parents, Le and Lu, and his two sons who were out to see him off.
"This is not the first time we have gone on an expedition. Let's go home and have a good rest." Shao Xun said with a smile.
“I have said some things many times, but I still can’t help but say them.” Father Shao warned: “I don’t know how many people are relying on you now. If something happens to you, they will all be in disaster. Don't take risks, even if you lose one or two times, it doesn't matter. I remember that when I went out with the generals, I never suffered defeats-"
"Okay," Shao's mother grabbed Shao's father. He complained: "I have given up before I go on the expedition. If my grandfather catches me, I will kill him directly."
Shao's father laughed and stopped talking.
The voice of his old father-in-law was a little blurry. He only remembered carrying a big sword and killing anyone who retreated.
I was very afraid of him back then, and I even felt that he was very cruel to me. Unexpectedly, I finally agreed to marry my daughter to him.
Their generation's time has passed.
Now it was his nephews who jumped onto the stage, but he always felt that it seemed more sinister. Listening to the casual chat among the soldiers, I learned that there was actually Hu Qi riding an armored horse into battle, which he had never encountered before.
The barbarians are not as easy to fight as before, alas.
Shao Xun hugged two more children, and then looked at Leshi and Lushi.
The two of them had just heard Father Shao speak seriously, and their faces turned a little pale.
Shao Xun laughed and said, "No need to worry, just come back as soon as you go."
After leaving the house, a messenger delivered a letter from Lu Zhi, the servant.
After taking it apart, it turned out to be about Hebei.
Shi Le attacked Guangzong Shangbai where the Beggar Army was entrenched, killed several of the Beggar Army and captured all of his soldiers.
Wang Jun was so frightened that he sent Zaosong, the governor of Jizhou, to garrison troops in Yishui, and hurriedly led his troops back to reinforce him.
Duan Bu Xianbei was furious and accused Wang Jun of betrayal, but Wang Jun ignored him.
Murong Xianbei took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and Duan Bu retreated steadily.
"It seems that Wang Jun can't stand it anymore." Shao Xun sighed with emotion.
As a popular figure in the early and middle stages of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Wang Jun stole the show, but he was actually a typical Kobe and I who scored 81 points together.
The rebellion of Liu Bogen in Qingzhou was brought down by Wang Jun, and it was the Xianbei cavalry who took action.
It was Wang Jun who defeated Sima Ying's army and invaded Yecheng. The decisive battle was fought by the Xianbei cavalry.
After defeating Shile at the Battle of Feilong Mountain, the Xianbei people also sent a small number of sergeants to participate in the battle. And precisely because of the small amount, it caused almost no damage to Shi Le, and allowed him to run away with the stolen goods and people.
As long as Shi Le can be defeated, Wang Jun can also be killed, because he and his son-in-law seem to have fallen out.
This happened!
"Send an order to Heyang to prepare ships, the more the better." Shao Xun got on his horse and ordered.
“The grain and grass transported to Xingyang were transported to Aocang for temporary storage with Yang Bao’s dispatch of ships.”
"Xiangcheng and Yingchuan arsenals allocate 1,500 chariots and send them to Heyang."
"Send an order to Li Chong to select sergeants to build pontoon bridges in Zhujin, Puyang."
< br>“Send an order to Guang Chengze to allocate a thousand horses.”
“To Xiangcheng—discuss with Princess Xiangcheng and lend a thousand mules.”
“Yi Congjun Bring all the horses and assemble in Heyang."
"The Yinqiang Right Battalion will all go to Heyang, and the garrison army will be dispatched after the summer planting."
"Give it to me. Supervisor Liu Shan sent an order, and Xuchang's soldiers took turns to harvest and sow in the summer. There should not be less than four thousand defenders in Xuchang City at any time. "
The civil servants drafted the order on the spot, and then sent it to the shogunate by messenger and handed it over to his assistant. They handle it.
Because the troops have not yet been officially dispatched, Shao Xun did not assign Xuchang to stay behind.
Since the New Year, Cao Fu has been ill again, probably soon, and now there is a shortage of suitable left-behind officials.
After thinking about it, maybe we can only assign a few people to stay behind collectively and make decisions together.
But there is no need to rush this matter, go to Luoyang first and then talk about it.
