Chapter 196 Who is the Hero of the Sea
Northern Yanzhou, Yanjing.
This is the spring plowing season, and in the fields, there are figures with their families, holding their trouser legs rolled up, and stepping on the thawed soil with bare feet, busy back and forth.
The swallow flew up with mud in its mouth, passing the flags one after another, and flew to the distant village.
The long procession was walking along the official road. On the cart in the middle, the curtain was opened, and eyes were scanning the farmers kneeling on the field ridge.
"Wu Zixun, send someone to tell you that you must not delay the farm work. You don't have to kneel down when you see Wang Jia in the future!"
Su Chen put down the curtain and sat back on the big tiger-skin chair. Sitting beside him was Guo Jia. He came out this time because he requested it. He wanted to come and see the north.
"It can be seen that the parents and officials in Yanjing are still working hard and conscientiously. Zhuge Liang is capable." Guo Jia had a smile on his lips, not as frivolous as when he first arrived, "It's a pity that When he was serving Cao Ping in Liaodong, his body couldn't bear it anymore and he didn't have time to see the north. If he could live ten more years, he might be able to see Wolong's style at that time. Have you ever met him? You were drinking with him." Su Chen smiled and took the information sent from Yanjing to look through it. From time to time he would raise his head and look outside. Outside the car curtain in front of him, Fang Xue was there. Jun was riding a red horse trotting on one side of the team, teaching Yang Yuhuan next to him how to ride a horse.
“Living for the enemy and working together now are two different feelings.” Guo Jia yawned and looked at the statue behind him that was shaking with the car. The feeling of having civil servants and generals of the court working side by side is even more exciting. I can't say that I can see Huo Qiaoqi drinking his horses in the vast sea... I can meet Ban Dingyuan, who is on an envoy to the Western Regions... Going forward, talk to Han Xin about the use of troops. Tao...Haha, it’s fascinating to think about it.”
"Jiujiu, you have to live a good life. These good days have just begun. You have to create a world that belongs to us and other Chinese people." Su Chen looked at him, and his smile became brighter, "Let the civil servants and generals who once regretted it have a chance to live." A place to show your talents."
But then, his smile froze, and Guo Jia over there asked, "But what's wrong with Yanjing's official document?"
" Haha... Naval battle... Over at Feiyun Port, four warships went to sea, but pirates captured two large ships. "
Well... this is the first time Guo Jia has heard about Feiyun Port. He didn't know much about it, but after listening to Su Chen tell the whole story, he frowned even more and even shook his head.
"Naval battles... Among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, only the generals from Soochow were familiar with them, but they mostly fought on rivers. I don't know if they would be competent in naval battles. Even if you use tricks, the sea is vast. If you don't understand the language and don't know your habits, you can only use tactics to lure the enemy."
"You don't have to worry about offering wine for this, I will find a way."
In Su Chen's impression, among the previous dynasties, only Soochow and Ming Dynasty seemed to have great water wars, especially Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, as for Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it is difficult to say, and if you throw the dice, you may not necessarily choose the two.
Specify one of them unless you spend twice as much merit.
"At present, there are Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu in the internal affairs. With these two here, I have nothing to do in terms of people's livelihood. I can only watch the soldiers' training, the forging of weapons and armor, well, and Li Xuanba I don’t know if the cold iron in the palace is enough.”
There was an eagle cry from the sky.
Then, Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan screamed outside. Su Chen opened the curtain and took a look. The snowfield eagle flew over with flapping wings, landed on Dian Wei's right arm, and rubbed his head affectionately against Dian Wei's head. .
I didn’t take it with me before I went south. I kept sending the samples in Prince Xia’s Mansion. When I had nothing to do, I would fly outside. I guess it was when I was wandering around that I saw the returning soldiers and horses, and the people in the team. Dian Wei, fly over directly.
This scene made Li Xuanba envious. He was sixteen years old, or even younger than sixteen years old. He tried to touch this big eagle, but was grabbed on the back of his hand. There are bleeding marks.
It made him curse: "Flat-haired beast!" He raised his hand and hit it with a hammer. The eagle flew up into the air and flew away. Dian Wei raised his hand to catch the hammer.
“If you are angry with a beast, believe it or not, your second brother will come out and beat you up.”
"Hmph, you will only use my second brother to oppress me!" Li Xuanba put down the hammer, his eyes were cold, he took a few steps and then came back, worried and whispered: "... Let's go back to the trouble, don't tell my second brother. "
Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan on the side couldn't help but pursed their lips and chuckled.
About twenty miles from Yanjing, Su Chen sent an order to ask Li Jue to lead the Xiliang army back to the military camp, and then went to the palace to deliver the order. Soon, the king drove in from the south gate, and the soldiers at the city gate , the guard knelt on the ground.
When going to Xuanyang Gate along Zhuque Avenue, Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan went to Prince Xia's Mansion, and Guo Jia also wanted to get off here. He probably didn't like the formality of the palace. Su Chen knew what he was going to do and gave him a warning.
“When I arrived at the brothel, I exercised some restraint and arranged a house for you next to the palace.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Guo Jia smiled and cupped his hands, and took only two masters from the Embroidery Department with him to walk around the streets. When Wang Jia entered Xuanyang Gate, he asked behind him Two people.
"How about the brothel in Yanjing? Play, play, play... Bah, how about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Take me there quickly."
The two people behind him looked at each other, this is the counselor beside King Xia , they did not dare to neglect, and knew that King Xia had given permission, so they had no choice but to lead the way.
Here, the king drove into the palace. Dong Zhuo and Che Jin had already brought the soldiers of the imperial city to greet him outside Chengyun Palace. Dong Zhuo and Zhuge Liang had arrived in Yanjing half a month earlier. This time, he would also The adopted daughter and mother-in-law were brought here together.
"Greetings to the king!" The two of them stepped forward and cupped their hands.
Su Chen got off the chariot, tidied up his royal clothes, and said to the two of them: "Without courtesy, follow me in." Behind him, there were Le Jin, Dian Wei, Li Xuanba, and Cao Lingchi, Qi Youhu, and Zhong Ji followed.
A group of generals held their swords and followed the heavy footsteps of the soldiers, striding up the stone steps behind Su Chen and straight into the Chengyun Hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Knowing that King Xia would return to the court today, the early morning meeting was changed to the afternoon. All the civil and military officials came to the palace to wait after noon. "You are exempt from courtesy."
Su Chen came all the way and was in a good mood when he saw that the government of Yan State was well-organized and coordinated. After entering the palace, there were many smiles on his face. Then, he came to the imperial steps and looked up at the Queen Mother Jiang Wan and Xiao Xiao. The emperor raised his hands.
"Meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Wan looked at Su Chen who had come back from a trip. The outline of his face became sharper, and his short beard was full of masculinity. Thinking of something, his cheeks turned slightly red and he said quickly: "With no courtesy, King Xia, please take a seat!"
In the queue, Qin Xiuwen suddenly stood up. Everyone thought he was going to say something difficult, but instead He bowed to Su Chen.
"Your Majesty, Qin Xiuwen, congratulates the King on his triumphant return, and also expresses his gratitude to the King on behalf of the people who died in Fenzhou!"
Others then reacted and hurried forward to congratulate.
The news only reached Yanjing in early February. Although everyone had expected it, they did not expect it to be like this. They defeated the elite of Wei State, defrauded the other emperor, and made a profit from Chen. The population of the county was an unprecedented victory.
When hearing the news, the entire court was silent except for the sound of breathing, and was speechless in surprise. Even the Queen Mother above her eyes widened.
Back to the present.
Seeing how attentive everyone was, Su Chen first glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was at the top of the list. The latter smiled and shook his feather fan. There was no hint, which meant that these people were spontaneously grateful.
"The victory over Wei is actually due to all of you. If you hadn't been busy behind the scenes to provide the supplies needed by the army, it would obviously not have been easy to win."
Su Chen's press He laid hands on them and asked them to return to the queue. Then he threw the white-haired cloak to Dian Wei and sat on the big tiger-skin chair.
“When I came back, I was very happy to see what I saw on the way. Every acre of land was being cultivated by farmers. I can see that you all cared about me while I was away. This is good. It will be like this from now on, I will not be stingy with rewards!"
"That's right!" Su Chen raised his hand and asked Wu Zixun to take out an official document, "Everyone should know about Feiyungang. Come on, four warships were almost destroyed by a ship of pirates. Gu Gu fought all the way. I have never been so angry. Of course, I don’t blame you. Who would have thought that a group of barbarians could be so powerful in a naval battle. ”
"Minister of the Ministry of War!"
Hearing Su Chen's voice, Qin Xiuwen hurriedly came out: "I am here."
"Feiyungang, there are other military ports to mobilize warships for good practice If the generals of the navy are not good enough, I will change them. In a few days, I will see if there is a suitable general who can be recommended to lead the navy."
"Follow the king's wishes"
Su. Chen glanced around: "Do you ministers have anything else to report?"
The civil and military officials in the palace were silent for a while.
"Then withdraw from the court." Su Chen patted the royal clothes and stood up. He bowed his hands towards the Queen Mother, smiled, put on his big cloak and walked straight out of the palace door. The eunuch shouted: "Retreat from the court." !”
The Queen Mother Jiang Wan’s cheeks were slightly red. She took the little emperor and left before waiting for the officials. When they arrived at the back hall, she called a palace maid next to her and whispered in her ear: "Go and see if King Xia is free..." The words behind him were as quiet as the sound of mosquitoes, so it was difficult to hear them.
At the same time.
When Su Chen went straight to the Yanguo Ancestral Temple, the old god Li Tiangang was holding his fly whisk, watching the Xiliang soldiers moving the ancestral coffin into the temple, and from time to time commanding a few soldiers The eunuch cleaned everything inside and out.
Seeing a tall figure coming with a few generals, he smiled and stood on the side of the temple gate, saying: "I have seen the king."
"Have the lonely ancestors been laid down?"< br>
Su Chen passed by him and strode into the temple. This time he wanted to designate an emperor to come out.
“Everything has been placed properly.” Li Tiangang lit a stick of incense and held it over.
……
Yanjing, Hongluan Tower.
This is one of the famous brothels in Yanjing. Guo Jia visited two places before choosing this place. First, the name is nice, and second, he heard that a group of southern girls have come here recently.
Different from women in the north, women in the south have fair and delicate skin, exquisite facial features, graceful figures, and gentle voices that make people feel numb all over.
Guo Jia’s best bite.
Today’s two chapters choked me to death.
The blank period before going south really made Chunfeng rack his brains to connect the plot and enrich the content.
