From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

This battle was brutal.

The fire was extinguished and the stars were turning. It seemed that the day was about to dawn before everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Where to sleep? Those who were still awake would sleep in the tents. For those who were drunk like dead dogs like Zhou Yuan and Li He, it all depended on whether anyone could take care of them.

They slept until the afternoon, and then they woke up one after another. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Old Xu, do you remember last night? Li He cried while holding a wine jar, saying that he had embarrassed the marshal and didn't fight the battle well. Hahahaha!"

Song Wu started to tease Li He as soon as he woke up.

Xu Dasheng said with a smile: "Of course I remember, he also said that he missed his wife, and it seems that he mentioned his sister-in-law."

Li He's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I recognize the previous ones, what about the sister-in-law? My sister-in-law has given birth to three children."

Song Wu snorted: "Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up. If you didn't mention it, how would we know that you still have a sister-in-law?"

Li He was about to cry, and clasped his fists and said: "Brothers, please forgive me, don't say anything, just pretend you didn't hear about this!"

Xu Dasheng pointed at his nose and said: "This kid is a coward, he didn't dare to admit it after doing it."

Li He glared and said: "Bullshit, how can I not admit it? My sister-in-law's husband died and she has been alone for four or five years. If I don't take care of her, who will take care of her?"

"Hahahaha Ha!"

Song Wu clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! Li He, you look honest, but you are actually full of bad intentions!"

Li He said, "This is human nature! Do you think you are a good guy? I remember everything you said last night!"

Song Wu said, "I have no secrets. You know my biggest secrets!"

Xu Dasheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You told me the story of how you and the old woman first met."

Song Wu's face changed immediately, and he stuttered, "No, impossible..."

Li He sneered, "You said that you were fifteen years old at that time, pretending to be ignorant of the world, asking for milk like a child, and finally aroused people's sympathy, so you took action."

"Li He! You...I will fight you!"

He rushed up and threw Li He to the ground, and the two of them started fighting.

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "The defense is broken, the defense is broken, he can't afford to play anymore."

"Who can't afford to play anymore!"

Song Wu climbed up and shouted, "Do you think you are not drunk? Xu Dasheng, tell me yourself, did you use the method Xiong Kuohai taught you? Did you get beaten? You hid at home for a few days, and we ran to your house to see you, but the swelling on your face has not subsided!"

"You were drunk yesterday and told everything, saying that Xiong Kuohai harmed you, that the method didn't work, and your wife not only refused to compromise, but also beat you up."

"You are a Northwest man, married to a tigress, and you dare to imitate Xiong Kuohai?"

"People My wife is a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She is sometimes stubborn, but generally gentle. As for you... She is big and strong, and can kill a cow with one punch. How can she play with you like this? You are just lucky that her neck was not broken. "

Xu Dasheng's expression was distorted, and he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, don't say it. If you say it again, you will not be able to live like a human being. Why do we brothers have to do this!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "I just want to say that I like to hear these fun things."

Song Wu said loudly: "You don't have fun? You were drunk last night and shouted something like Virgin Sister. Do you think everyone can't hear it?"

Zhou Yuan slowly widened his eyes.

Then he said directly: "It doesn't matter, you have seen it before, the Holy Mother and I are in love, and we are not afraid of being known."

Song Wu lowered his voice and said: "Then... why do you call me 'Master'?"

Zhou Yuan broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, and he hurriedly said: "You kid shut up, be careful that I will let His Majesty ruin your marriage!"

Li He said: "Marshal... we all heard it... why do you... hey..."

"I don't want to drink."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "I don't want to drink, this wine is boring, I'm leaving, I'm going to Xiningwei today."

"Not that bad, not that bad..."

Xu Dasheng hurriedly pulled him and said with a smile: "Marshal, it's not that bad, it's just a small matter, why make a fuss As for temper, our foundation has been lost, but we don't have so many scruples. Just keep drinking tonight. "

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "But if this matter gets out..."

Song Wu said, "Then we will go to Yang Changguan and make him feel good. That's fine, right!"

Li He said loudly, "Is it necessary to swear such a poisonous oath? Young people just don't know how to leave a way out for themselves!"

Xu Dasheng rubbed his hands and said, "Don't leave in a hurry anyway. We are still waiting for the marshal to calm Gansu down. Now Dajin is innovating everywhere, and we don't know how to go."

Speaking of business, Song Wu also became serious and said seriously, "Should I return to Beijing to report my work, or continue toStay here, His Majesty hasn't given any orders yet..."

How could she care about military affairs...

"Let someone make tea and talk about this."

The four of them sat around the table, drank a few sips of hot tea, and their minds became clearer.

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "You three have missions. Li He is about to leave. The soldiers in Zhejiang can't stay in Gansu Town all the time. It's been almost two years. It's time to go home."

"The era of the ocean has arrived, but the land will always be the foundation of the country. You still need to control the overall situation in Zhejiang."

Li He nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said: "General... I... I..."

Zhou Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "The times are changing very fast. Not only you, everyone feels like they can't keep up. I am also working hard to learn and strive for progress."

"After returning to Zhejiang, take control of power, train the people below, explain what needs to be explained, and then go to the Nanhai Military Academy in Fuzhou Prefecture for further study for half a year. "

"If you can learn, continue to do it. If you really can't learn, you have to select the right people to learn, so as to cultivate more talents for the Jin Dynasty."

Li He stood up, straightened his back, and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task!"

He laughed again, but his voice was a little choked: "With the words of Marshal Jie, I feel relieved."

Zhou Yuan said: "Xu Dasheng, you have to go to Xining Guard. You should know the importance of that place. It is strategic to shock Duogan Dusi and Wusi Zang Dusi. At the same time, you have to completely extinguish the remaining fire of the Ma family and make people submit."

Xu Dasheng said: "Marshal, don't worry, I am from Gansu, and I am very familiar with Xining Guard. I understand the people in the northwest, and I can do it well."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Song Wu, you need to stay in Gansu Town. There is a very important task. "

Song Wu's face was serious, and he listened carefully.

Zhou Yuan said: "The Jurchens have been conquered, with Wu Dingzhong in charge, Shi Yi succeeding as the general of Jizhou and Shanhaiguan, and Xue Changyue in Xuanfu, so there is no need to worry about that."

"Although the situation in the northwest is clear now, the Western Regions have just been recovered after all, and there are still tens of thousands of troops left in Yarkand. We must not take it lightly."

"Xu Dasheng is in charge of Xihai, Min Tianrui is in charge of Datong, and you, the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, are in charge of Gansu. Only the three of you can truly stabilize the northwest."

"If the northeast and northwest are stabilized, then U-Tsang and Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will be stabilized, and the inland areas of the Great Jin will be stabilized."

"If the inland areas of the Great Jin are all stabilized, I can let go of my hands and feet, call the wind and rain on the sea, and set off huge waves."
