Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 96 The City of Yanzhou

On the fourteenth day of the first month of the second year of Zhonghe, the imperial court had a purpose.If Chen Cheng got the news, Zhuge Shuang was appointed as the military commander of Shannan West Road, and Shao Shude was appointed as Xia Sui's military queen, and he would know Xia Sui's affairs.

It wasn't just the two of them who got the reward.Wang Chongrong was actually the self-proclaimed Hezhong Jieduliu before, and he also surrendered to thieves. This time he also gave his official name confirmation: Hezhong Jiedu and Hezhong Yin, Jiatong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and Wang Duo's Right Sima. .His brother, Wang Chongying, was the observation envoy of the Shaanxi Province. This time, he served as the military envoy to the east, providing food and salaries to the troops and horses in the east.

Gao Pian, who had [-] troops but did not come to the King of Qin, had a bad luck.The imperial court dismissed its capital and other envoys. From the perspective of the imperial court's righteousness, he has no military power.Let's see if he can control the situation. If one is not good, it is not unusual for him to be killed by a general.

The righteousness of the court, sometimes seems useless, a piece of waste paper.But with this piece of paper, it can really reduce a lot of trouble and suppress many careerists.The human mind is really amazing.

Wang Chucun served as the commander of the northwest side of the capital, Cheng Zongchu as the commander of the southwest, Li Xiaochang as the commander of the northeast, and Yang Fuguang as the commander of the south. Yoyo led his troops south, wondering if he would get the [-] Dendrobium rations back from Shao Shude.

Judging from the court's awards, everyone has been promoted in name.Originally, all Zheng Tang recruited envoys, everyone recruited envoys, but now the top commander has all recruited envoys, and the next-level officials have become all recruited envoys. I really don’t know if the court has such tricks. What's the meaning.Wasn't it made by those eunuchs?

There are also some soldiers and horses from Kanto.However, there are only 2000 people, and there are all towns, and they are gathered one after another. There are always about 2 people. Most of them are classified into the west camp and the south camp, and no one is caught in the north camp.However, it was a surprise that Wang Chongying sent them a batch of ordnance, food and grass.

Wang family brothers, interesting enough!
Shao Shude also took the time to go back to Fuping, and it was natural to congratulate him when he saw Marshal Zhuge.The big handsome also smiled, got what he wanted, and was naturally happy.

"Shude, a certain has ordered Zhongbao to lead a thousand people south to Xingyuan Mansion to handle the delivery first." Zhuge Shuang said: "There is another matter, Xiazhou still has three thousand sergeants brought from Dongdu, some of them old Brother, there are about a hundred people who have been with someone since Ruzhou, and this time they will take them to Xingyuan Mansion. There are vacancies for the officers left, and Shude can handle it himself."

"The commander loves a lot, and Shao is very grateful." This is actually a good thing. The three thousand sergeants, all veterans, took the officers away so that you can install your own people.In the future, as long as it is rectified a little, it will be his own army, which is not much different from the Tielin army.

Shao Shude has even thought about it. He will recruit some old people from the Tielin Army, and then merge the trap camp with this army to create a new army, called the "Wuwei Army", with an army of [-], as a branch of Xia Sui Town. Outer town army.As for the Tielin Army, it is natural that it will become a Yajun Army.

But this is a matter of the future. For now, the most important thing is still to conquer the nest thieves.The court has given officials, and they have to behave well and reflect their own value.In the future, when there are other good things in the future, the ministers of the DPRK and China will not think of themselves.

Furthermore, the fact that Chao Zhong is entrenched near Chang'an is not a good thing for the people of Guanzhong.

After saying goodbye to Zhuge Shuang, Shao Shude went to his residence in Zhuangzi.

There are many books, maps, and even various notes written by myself.Every time I revisit it, I have a new insight, which is already a fixed learning routine for Shao.

******
As soon as Shao Shude came back, Liu found out.

After thinking for a while, she sorted out her mood and came to the residence of her two sisters-in-law, smiling: "The snow scene in the courtyard is good today, why don't you go to the snow to play."

Feng Xuan glanced at Liu Shi, how could she, who was so thoughtful and thoughtful, didn't understand what the elder sister-in-law meant.However, when he thought about how his brother Fengyin resolutely joined the army, and how he took care of his younger sister, he sighed faintly.That's why my little sister is younger and a little ignorant.

Liu's proposal, Feng Xuan does not object, Feng has no objection, then the matter is basically settled.A few people instructed the servants, emptied a space in the courtyard, and then moved some household goods over, got a small heater, heated a pot of wine, and played the game of throwing pots with great interest.

Pot throwing, which was transformed from the ancient archery ceremony, is mostly an add-on game at a banquet.Originally, there was a set of complicated and cumbersome etiquette, but when you play with your own family, there is no need to be so troublesome, you can just have fun.

Feng Xuan was not very interested, so he decided to arbitrate. Liu Shi and Feng Du each held five chips and started throwing at the mouth of the pot.

After all, Liu's family came from the Shen Cejun general's family.After the five chips were cast, they won Fengdu with an absolute advantage.Feng Xuan glanced at her concubine, Feng Du smiled, and even drank a few glasses of wine, her pretty face immediately turned red.

The three of them continued to play after being punished for drinking.Afterwards, Feng Xuan couldn't refute it, so she also played a game. The result was a big defeat and a loss. After drinking a few glasses of wine, her face was ruddy, and she felt slightly drunk. I don't know how many times it looks good outside.

"You need to have wine and music to help you play pot-throwing. Today, I have wine, and I'm almost happy. My aunt lost this game. It's better to sing a tune." Out of the seal, said with a smile.

"What do you sing?" Feng Du has a more cheerful personality and is young, and often gives people a sense of romance. At this time, he heard the elder sister-in-law saying that he wanted to sing, and he was not stage fright, so he immediately asked.

"Sing the song "It's Difficult"."

"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, Dongfeng is powerless to leave a hundred flowers..."

Shao Shude put down the military book in his hand, leaned on the back of Hu's bed, closed his eyes and admired the gentle singing in the courtyard.

I always thought that only lyrics and music could be sung, but I never thought that this quatrain by Li Shangyin could also be sung in a different way.

The little lady's singing voice is very good, with twists and turns, and her feelings are sincere. Even if she is not a professional vocalist, she must have learned relevant skills from others.Shao Shude quietly felt the water-like longing in the song, until the end of the last note, there was still some unfinished feeling.

Speaking of himself as the leader of an army, life entertainment is simply primitive compared to other generals.Last year, Li Xiaochang invited himself to a banquet. There were quite a few good-looking singing and dancing girls in the banquet, and he even tried to give it to himself, but he politely declined.Bring beauty to the army, can you still fight?

"Sister-in-law's singing voice..." Liu Shi was a little surprised, but also a little jealous.The daughters of this Gongqing family are not the same as those of the military academy family.

Feng Xuan glanced at Congmei and said, "There were two tones just now—"

Before I finished speaking, I saw a warrior in full armor walking over and said, "I want to listen to Bai Letian's "Cheng Yanzhou" after I stay at home. I don't know which lady can sing it?"

The words were in a questioning tone, but looking at his expression, it was full of unquestionable looks.

Liu Shi hesitated, while Feng Du frowned, as if recalling the tune carefully.

"Come on, concubine." Feng Xuan saluted, then cleared her throat and began to sing.

"The city of Yanzhou, the city of Yanzhou, the city is on the top of Wuyuan Plain. In the east of the Fandong Jiedugong, I suddenly saw that the new city was the main road. The golden bird flew to pass the news of the praise, and the Jianya passed the arrows to the ministers... Chengyanzhou , Yanzhou Weicheng emperor worries. Dezong decides according to the plan, not the generals and temples. I heard that in the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the northern captives are the most difficult to control... I would like to share the favor of the side generals today and congratulate the Duke of Han. Descendants. Who can hear this Yanzhou song and translate it into lyrics.”

Shao Shude tapped with the rhythm with his right hand, as if intoxicated.This poem should be sung by a big Kansai man, but it was sung by a young child, and it is quite tasteful. Anyway, I listened to it with relish.

"Let's go, go back to Sanyuan." After the song was sung, Shao Shude got up, took the military book and map, and said.

"After you stay, you will return to the camp today? The two ladies outside are pretty and lovely. The military envoy might as well order them..." Wei Boqiu suggested.

"Next time. There is a deadline for the war, and I will go back to Sanyuan to review the troops." Shao Shude said without doubt.

"As ordered."

The group quickly left the house and walked towards the front yard.When passing by the yard, Shao Shude glanced at him subconsciously, just in line with Feng Xuan's gaze.The other party was startled and quickly lowered his head.Shao Shude smiled, also surprised by its beauty.

"Beijing captives are the most difficult to control..." Shao Shude sighed and got on his horse.Soon, surrounded by his own soldiers, he disappeared into the vast snow field.

This time, going south, when the horses and horses are sharpened, the troops are reorganized, and the food and grass are stored, waiting for the time of day.
