Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 967 Zhu Quanyu

Shao Shude received two letters almost at the same time.At that time, he was inspecting the construction progress of Tianjin Bridge, and discussed the knowledge of geometry and mechanics with the students of Guozijian who participated in the construction.

Everyone still doesn't know much about mechanics. They have experience and conclusions, but they haven't refined the theory yet.

Shao Shude chatted happily with them, talked about his understanding of mechanics, and asked the students to continue to summarize.

Last year's Xia Wang Award was awarded to Master Mani because he wrote a textbook called "Geometry".

The content is so-so and superficial.Shao Shude highly suspected that Master Mani made a hodgepodge of fragments of knowledge he had copied from nowhere, and then edited them into a book.

But it doesn't matter anymore.This book is still of great value, and most of the content is not covered by mathematicians in the Central Plains. It is not a loss to award the 3600 yuan reward to Master Mani.

After returning to Hehuan Hall, he carefully reviewed the letter.

The first letter was sent by Lu Huaizhong, and it focused on the matter of the son's arrival in Hexi.

After Shao Shude finished reading it, he didn't respond for a while.After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to send an envoy to persuade his son to return to Baqiao camp.

War is not about showing off. A 14-year-old has to know the seriousness.It's okay to follow the main force to accumulate experience, but it's not okay to fight on the battlefield with the Weisheng Army.

But he also admired his son's courage.Dare to fight the enemy face-to-face, it is not easy for a person who has been well-clothed since childhood.Li Keyong's sons, Li Luoluo and Li Cunxu, are like aggressive roosters. They like to wrestle with others, compete with others in archery, and like to charge first-line. Sometimes thinking about it, they are quite envious.

But a certain degree of poise is required.

His identity is no surprise.

It wasn't that Shao Shude was afraid.With hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, as long as he is alive for a day, no relatives or generals will be able to overcome the big waves.It's just really unnecessary, life twists and turns, internal turmoil, people's confusion, I don't know how much it will take to deal with the endgame.

The second letter is amazing.

The letter's name is Zhu Quanyu, whose real name is Zhu Yu, and his status is very ordinary, Dangshan Yitian Shefu.But it is very unusual, because he is Zhu Quanzhong's eldest brother, who once led the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan West Road.

Zhu Quanyu was illiterate, so it was obviously written by someone else, but the meaning was very clear. He wanted to take back Zhu Quanzhong's coffin and take it back to Dangshan Township for burial.

Shao Shude still had some respect for this old man, and when he learned that Zhu Quanyu was still staying in Luoyang, he was immediately invited to the Hall of Hehuan.

"Meet Your Highness." Zhu Quanyu saluted as soon as he arrived.

"Sit down." Shao Shude ordered, and then looked at the old man carefully.

Zhu Quanyu has white hair all over his head, and the wrinkles on his face are like ravines on the Loess Plateau, bottomless.

His eyes are a little cloudy, but he is more energetic than the average old man. It can be seen that after his family situation improved, his life is still very good.

"I agree to Zhu Weng's request." Shao Shude said: "Quanzhong has shown great kindness to the people of Henan. There are countless living people, and I will also reward them very much. Now I will give you weapons, chariots and horses, money and silk, and I will go back to Dangshan with you. Have a good burial."

Zhu Quanyu didn't expect the matter to be done so easily, so he froze there for a moment.

Shao Shude smiled. In front of such an old man, he was unwilling to talk empty words or clichés. He only heard him say: "Quanzhong and I are fighting in the world. There is no right or wrong. Go back, Junzhi Lingnan West Road Festival Dushi, you can still receive it from afar, and the monthly salary will be distributed by the imperial court on time, and there will be no shortage."

Zhu Quanyu actually didn't care about Jiedushi.All three of his sons are dead, what else is there to do?What I think about now is just to go back to my hometown in Dangshan, plow the fields and spend the rest of my life.

However, after hearing the words "the battle of the world", I still feel a little sentimental.

He is a man of Tang Dynasty and a minister of Tang Dynasty.The Li family was not mean to him, so there was nothing he could do.

"Your Highness has great ambitions, and I am old enough to know it." Zhu Quanyu suddenly said: "The world has been in chaos for so many years, and the people have suffered! It is difficult! If it was still a prosperous age, my second and third younger brothers... Sigh! I hope His Highness treats the people well. If so , the old man will sing praises for His Highness when he meets everyone."

"Good!" Shao Shude said with a smile: "All the people in the world, regardless of whether they are foreigners or Han, are all my sons, and I should give them a peaceful and prosperous world."

"Your Highness is a trustworthy person, I thank you, old man." Zhu Quanyu thanked.

"I have sent people to release the disciples of the Zhu family who were captured before. They will go back after a while, and then they will support themselves in Dangshan. Don't think too much about it." Shao Shude stood up, helped Zhu Quanyu up with his own hands, and said warmly.

He refers to Zhu Youning, the son of Zhu Cun, and Zhu Yourang and Zhu Youwen, the adopted sons of Zhu Quanzhong.

Zhu Yourang was captured by the iron cavalry army in Luoyang in his early years. Later, he has been herding sheep and horses in Heishui City, married Hu Nu as his wife, and had children.

Zhu Youning was also captured in Luoyang, sent to the pasture in Xishicheng, Huizhou, and married a Qiang girl.You Ning's younger brother, You Lun, died in Wei's family the year before last.Zhu Cun's branch finally has a descendant.

Zhu Quanyu's sons Youliang, Youneng and Youjiao all died.

Except for Zhu Quanzhong's eldest son Zhu Youyu and third son Zhu Yougui, the rest of his children are still alive.

The adopted son and also the second son Zhu Youwen was shot in the shoulder by an arrow when the city of Bianzhou was broken.

Most of the other children, who were still young, were rewarded as meritorious generals along with their mothers, and Shao Shude didn't bother to care about their situation.

Only Zhu Youzhen, born to Zhang Hui, and Zhu Youzhang, born to the Shi family, are still in Luoyang.In addition, Zhu Quanzhong had two older daughters, one ten years old and one nine years old, who were also left behind and lived with his aunt Zhu Shi in Hanjia Palace to take care of the experimental field.

Overall, Shao Shude was kind to the Zhu family, and he didn't kill them all.

"Your Highness is really generous." When Zhu Quanyu heard this, tears rolled down his face, he knelt on the ground and thanked him.

"You are also a real person, go back, no one will trouble you." Shao Shude said.

Zhu Quanyu is actually an honest farmer, without any ambition, very duty-bound.

In history, when Zhu Quanzhong was preparing for the abdication ceremony, Zhu Quanyu asked him directly: "Zhu San, are you (emperor) successful?"

After Zhu Quanzhong proclaimed himself emperor, he held a family banquet in the palace. A group of people played dice. Zhu Quanyu was half drunk and threw the dice into the basin. He was unhappy and asked: "Zhu San, the people of Rudang Mountain are suffering from famine in the world. , into the Huangchao to be a thief, the emperor uses you as the envoy of the four towns, rich and noble enough, why destroy his Li family's 300-year-old community, and call him king and me."

Zhu Quanyu didn't want to enjoy wealth and honor in Bianzhou, and spent most of his time in his hometown in Dangshan.It wasn't until Zhu Quanzhong became seriously ill that he hurried back to Bianzhou, holding Zhu Quanzhong's hand and weeping bitterly.

When Li Cunxu entered Bianzhou, he killed Zhu's family and only retained Zhu Quanyu's branch.

But now Zhu Quanyu's three sons are all dead by his own hands, Shao Shude is also very helpless, good luck tricks others.

After chatting casually for a few words, Shao Shude asked a few people who had been designated as officials of Honglu Temple to choose the murder weapon, and accompanied Zhu Quanyu back to Dangshan.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhu from Pengcheng County and others met with Zhu Quanyu.

Mrs. Zhu tied the gauze around her waist and restrained her slightly protruding belly to make sure that there was no abnormality in her appearance. After meeting her brother, she cried with her head in her arms.

Shao Shude continued to review documents in Hehuan Hall.

Zang Dubao, envoy of the Tianxiong Army, invited him into Taihangxing to attack Tianjing Pass.

Shao Shude thought for a long time, and finally agreed.

Ze Lu, it would be great if it could be in my own hands.

In history, when Li Hanzhi led Zelu to vote for Zhu Quanzhong, the unique geographical advantages of Hedong suddenly collapsed, and other passes did not need to be guarded, which was meaningless. Liang Jun went northward from Shangdang and headed straight for Taiyuan City.

But after Ding Hui and Luzhou surrendered, Liang Jun could no longer touch Taiyuan.

In the later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Rong attacked the Northern Han Dynasty. If Zelu hadn't been in the hands of the Central Plains court, he might not have been able to attack the city of Jinyang.

Zhao Er destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and also went north from Zelu to besiege Taiyuan.

Shangdang, the best route to attack Hedong, Shao Shude punched on the map, if he can't take it, he can only try his luck from the Yanmen Pass in the north.Or take a detour to Hebei and try a few routes from the east.

"Let Xiaojie's left wing go north to attack Cizhou, and contain the Jin army's strength." Shao Shude ordered.

Secretary Supervisor Lu Siye began to write the order.

Shao Shude closed his eyes, and the entire battlefield was imprinted in his mind like a picture.

The battlefield in the river is for the Western Front.

The Jin army marched south from Lanshi and had broken through Xizhou. It seemed that they planned to advance further towards Cizhou.On Wuling Road, there are also Jin people who break into Jinjiang from time to time.To the north of Fenshui Pass, there are Pass and Gaobi Town where Jin soldiers escaped from danger, and they are active everywhere.

The latter two groups should be suspected soldiers, so far they have not seen any real action, but there are only [-] Jin soldiers on the Xizhou route, and it seems that they are not the main force.

The entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

The battlefields of Heyang and Zelu were called the center line by Shao Shude.

He will launch an active attack along the way, and hit the Tianjing Pass.

Xiangwei and Xing Mingci are on the eastern front, and they also take the initiative to attack, but they are also diverting.However, if the main force of the Jin army appears here, the Xiaojie and Tujiang armies will be transferred to the defense on the spot, and General Shao Shude will personally lead the Tiande army to the north to reinforce the guards and meet Li Keyong.

After May, if there is still no result in the east, middle and west battles, Shao Shude intends to raise his bets and open another battle in the north. I don't know if Li Keyong will dare to follow.

For the Jin army, if they stick to the line of Lanshi Mountain, Xiandiguan-Gaobi Town, Tianjingguan-Malaoguan, and Yanmenguan, Shao Shude really feels that it is not easy to fight and has nowhere to go.But if you run out of the tortoise shell to fight in the field, you must not let this opportunity pass by.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't defend, just sit back and watch me slowly clean up Yan and Xu Erzhen, and then attack Wei Bo and Xing Mingci.If you still pretend to be dead, then take Datong, and then attack Chengde, Cangjing, Yiding and even Youzhou, can you continue to shrink in the tortoise shell?

After the military orders were passed out, the ministries immediately started to act.
