Hello Chang’an
Chapter 577: She made a wish to herself (Dragon Boat Festival good health)
A mere bunch of copper coins should not be enough to carry such a huge ambition.
And those who make wishes are not praying to God.
Chang Sui Ning prides herself on being neither a human nor a ghost, and she once expressed contempt for God. She once said that she regards herself as God, and her own will is God's will.
So at this moment, under the vast starry sky and in front of the blazing fire, she was just making a wish to herself.
This vow is like a vow, and she will do her best for it, never wavering or breaking it.
When entering Jiaozi, Yuan Xiang got a string of firecrackers from somewhere and lit them. This scared several generals who were completely unprepared and jumped up, causing a burst of laughter and chasing.
Chang Suining looked over and smiled.
Amid the commotion, Chang Suining stood up and faced north.
In two more days, we can reach the Anbei Protectorate, where Yinshan Mountain is located.
After a moment, Chang Suining turned his head to the right and looked in the direction of Fan Yang.
Bai Hong, Tang Xing and the others should have successfully pacified Fan Yang. If they act quickly, the news of success will probably be on their way back to Luoyang.
As Chang Suining expected, Bai Hong, Tang Xing and his party had led their troops to formally take over Fan Yang and Youzhou City, where Fan Yang's Jiedu Envoy Office was located, eight days ago.
Before the army arrived, the three thousand old troops of Fan Yang's army stationed here fled after hearing the news.
Since they were escaping, they naturally had to go in the opposite direction. However, if they continued to go north, they would be close to the Beidi defense line, and there were many wilderness areas on the way, which was really not suitable for escaping in winter. So everyone chose to go east in the name of "never take refuge with foreigners". Escape.
Unexpectedly, just after crossing the Jizhou border, they unexpectedly encountered a Pinglu army that was trying to quell the chaos.
This Pinglu army has a total of five thousand people. It is here to quell the chaos of the bandits and mobs. The leader is Kang Cong, the marching Sima of the Pinglu army.
Later, when the Chang Family Army was approaching, the leader of Fan Yang Army gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision: to surrender to Kang Cong.
They escaped from Fan Yang not because they had great ambitions, but because they did not want to passively become Chang Suining's captives. There was no future for them as captives. It was better to actively submit to other forces, at least without being humiliated and oppressed.
Although after Kang Dingshan's rebellion, the current Pinglu Army Jiedushi was appointed by the emperor, and he would not accept Fan Yang's army who were guilty of their crimes, but he knew Kang Cong!
Kang Cong came from a wealthy family and his father was Kang Dingshan. Moreover, this kid killed his father with his own hands. How could such a ruthless person be a law-abiding person?
It is said that Kang Cong, the marching commander, was surprisingly handy, and he must have accumulated some power in the Pinglu Army. If we add the three thousand Fanyang Army, it would be impossible to call the Pinglu Army back to Kang. impossible.
This kind of temptation, no one can refuse it!
But Kang Cong refused.
What shocked the leader of Fan Yang's army was that after Kang Cong rejected him, he did not hand them over to Pinglu Jiedu, but instead escorted three thousand of them back to Fan Yang intact...
After doing all this, Kang Cong was waiting in Fan Yang.
When Kang Zhi came with the army, Kang Cong handed over all three thousand Fan Yang's troops and explained the reason for doing so: "It was Uncle Shi's wish!"
Kang Cong had always been bitter about the fact that he was forced to become Chang Sui Ning's pawn, but fortunately he was cooperative in action. From time to time, Sanwu would compile the news and intelligence from the east of Hebei Road into letters, and send them through his sister through his sister. Kang Zhi's hand was handed over to Chang Suining.
Of course, there are many instructions and reminders from Shi Man.
It was precisely because of Shi Man's dedicated support and support that Kang Cong was able to gradually gain a foothold in the Pinglu Army.
Kang Zhi was very satisfied with her brother's performance, and asked people to count the three thousand Fan Yang captured soldiers, and found out that there were still 800 cavalry among them. Kang Zhi's increasingly bright eyes seemed to reflect the large sacks - hey, it was all her family's honor. It works!
Kang Zhi, who was in a good mood, even comforted the three thousand Fan Yang prisoners: "Why are you running around like crazy? Our envoys have always punished you. You just stayed in Fan Yang and you didn't make any big mistakes. How can the envoys still embarrass you?" No!"
This tone was quite a sincere comfort to Kang Zhi.
On this trip to the north, her family's envoy had said that more soldiers with experience in fighting in the north should be recruited, and those with no serious demerits would be given preferential treatment and retained.
Kang Zhi roughly calculated that when they left Jiangdu with the army, there were a total of 100,000 troops, and another 50,000 Huainan Dao troops. Counting from the defeat of Duan Shiang, to the sweep all the way to Fan Yang, all surrendered troops and captured troops were counted. On top of that, coupled with the rebel troops recruited along the way, as well as the large and small forces who took the initiative to defect...the number of troops has now increased rapidly from the original 150,000 to more than 300,000.
Most of this was due to the annexation of Duan Shiang's army in one fell swoop.
The more Kang Zhi calculated, the brighter her eyes became - fighting means getting rich quickly, and she still likes fighting now!
She will fight a lot of battles in the future, occupy a lot of territory, and steal a lot of people, all of whom will be her family's envoys!
Kang Zhi was ambitious and told his brother privately that while he had captured Fanyang in Youzhou, and that his brother and Shi Man were cooperating in the Pinglu army, he might be able to replace Pinglu Jiedushi in one fell swoop.
Kang Cong was shocked when he heard that, hadn't the Fan Yang rebellion been completely put down? Why does Chang Suining's hand continue to move east?
Kang Zhi glanced at his brother: "Fan Yang is just the end point of putting down Fan Yang's army's rebellion, not the end point of my family's envoys!"
She wants to discuss with General Tang Xing and find a way to include the Pinglu Army. Then the entire Hebei Province will be her family's envoy!
Kang Zhi was very motivated. In just ten days, he gathered nearly ten thousand scattered forces in Youzhou.
In addition, many people who had been displaced by the war took the initiative to surrender. Kang Zhi selected young and middle-aged people to stay, registered the old and weak ones, and resettled them nearby. Kang Zhi is not good at resettling refugees. Those are the jobs of the Cui family.
Kang Zhi snatched people without mercy, and accepted all the refugees who came to seek refuge.
Kang Zhi always remembered that her family's envoy said that in this land, only one word is the most lasting and precious resource.
If you have people, give them a life-saving meal today. Next year, they can use their hands to give back more money and food, and then they can feed more people. Although in terms of benefits, this is no faster and more effective than directly recruiting troops and horses to achieve great things, and there is even the possibility of losing everything at any time due to changes and turbulence, but Jiushi said that only by such a cycle, will the world get better and better. Order will become more and more stable.
Kang Zhi was also doubtful at first, but when she saw the refugees kowtow to her as if they were a savior, and saw a frozen child regain life after drinking a bowl of rice soup, she slowly began to Slowly understood the meaning of "living people".
Whenever she couldn't help but feel distressed about the speed of food consumption, Kang Zhi would pinch herself and think silently in her mind: I think her family now owns the big granary of Henan Road, with a lot of scribes available, and Huainan With Tao as the support, maritime trade has also begun to bear fruit, and there are many ways to make money... In short, the ability to make money and feed people is first-class! Don't be afraid!
Recently, Kang Ani, who was immersed in the satisfaction of snatching, picking up and raising people, suddenly became furious on New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, Yuezhi also came to Fan Yang to reunite with her daughter whom she had not seen for a long time.
Shi Man and his family also came. Kang Zhi originally thought that Shi Man came to see the situation in Fan Yang and to discuss business matters with General Tang Xing and the others. This was indeed the case, but it was more than that—
That night, Kang and Shi's families sat together for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When the meal was about to end, Yuezhi spoke hesitantly, with a nervous smile on his face, and said to her daughter: "Ani... there is something I want to ask your permission for."
Yuezhi said, glanced at Shi Man, and still said hesitantly: "You also know that thanks to your uncle Shi's help this year, your brother and I can have nothing to worry about... These days, we We discussed it and thought that it would be the best thing if we could get in touch with each other..."
The further Yuezhi spoke, the softer her voice became. When she mentioned the words "kiss, kiss, kiss", she was already a little afraid to look into her daughter's eyes. Kang Zhi, who was holding the spoon, was stunned.
For a moment, she looked at her mother-in-law's expression, and then at Shi Man, whose expression was a bit strange.
Kang Zhi was a little confused by this sudden realization, but then she thought about it, her mother-in-law had been Kangdingshan's concubine for so many years, and she couldn't help it. Shi Man has been widowed for many years and has not married yet. His home is clean and his character and ability are considered good...
Kang Zhi gritted her teeth - forget it, although she was a little embarrassed, she was not a pedantic person!
"Okay..." In order to cover up her discomfort, Kang Zhi lowered her head and put a spoonful of soup into her mouth, pretending not to care and said: "I don't have any objections, you can make up your own mind."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shi Wen standing across from her suddenly. She was overjoyed and said slightly proudly: "Mu Sheng, you heard it, your sister agreed!"
Kang Zhi raised her head and frowned - Musheng? Why are you shouting so intimately?
She turned to glare at her brother beside her - hadn't she warned her repeatedly not to talk to Shi Wen? Why are you calling Shang Musheng!
Seeing her brother hesitating and blushing, Kang Zhi suddenly realized something was wrong.
etc…
She looked at Yuezhi and asked warily: "The kiss that Aniang just mentioned...isn't it between Mom and Uncle Shi?"
Yuezhi was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Ani, you...what are you talking about!"
Shi Man almost choked and coughed twice strategically.
"You girl didn't understand." Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Of course your mother-in-law is talking about Wenwen and Musheng!"
Kang Zhi slapped the table and stood up: "This is ridiculous! I don't agree!"
This is much more ridiculous than her mother-in-law marrying Shi Manlai! This is simply contrary to common sense and treasonous and contrary to Tiangang, people and gods are outraged!
Shi Wen's two brothers on the side were frightened by Kang Zhi's sudden sound of banging on the table and leaned together, not daring to take a big breath.
Kang Zhi's face turned livid with anger, and she raised her hand and pointed at Shi Wen: "Kang Cong, what do you like about her!"
Shi Wen's lips trembled, and just when she was about to speak, Kang Zhi turned her finger, then pointed at Kang Cong, and asked her: "Shi Wen, what do you like about him!"
I'm afraid these two people are not both blind. What is the redeeming quality of the other party?
"Kang Zhi, you..." Shi Wen wanted to retort, but her mind couldn't catch up with Kang Zhi's thoughts, and she didn't know where to start.
But the old lady of the Shi family said: "Ani, you think Musheng shouldn't like Wenwen, and you also think Wenwen shouldn't like Musheng. In short, it's not easy for one to get a wife, and the other is not easy to marry. Marriage is a big problem, but the eyes between the two of them are not very good, so it seems that they are a good match! "
Mrs. Shi slapped the back of her hand with her palm and patted it several times: "What is this called? It's a match made in heaven!"
"Grandma!" Shi Wen was dissatisfied and looked at Kang Zhi angrily: "...I have allowed you to call me sister-in-law, what else are you dissatisfied with!"
Kang Zhi was so angry that her heavenly spirit cap flew off: "Who dares to call you sister-in-law!"
"You..." Shi Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have bullied you before, but haven't you bullied you back? You have never suffered a loss! You also whipped me with a whip and pulled out my hair. ! I won’t settle this debt with you anymore, and I’m still willing to be your sister-in-law. I’m so generous, I don’t want you to pick and dislike me!”
After Shi Wen said this, her eyes suddenly turned red with grievance, and she turned around and ran out.
Yuezhi looked anxiously: "Ani, listen to what Aniang has to say..."
"I won't listen!" Kang Zhi was irritated, kicked the chair away, and strode away.
There is only one corridor outside the hall. Shi Wen and Kang Zhi walked one behind the other. The former cried and said: "Whoever likes this coward will marry! I won't marry!"
"You can just marry him! Why don't you marry him!" Kang Zhi sneered: "I don't plan to have this brother anyway!"
"I, Shi Wen, don't care about anything you don't want!"
Kang Zhi: "Then just throw it away!"
Shi Wen: "Throw it as far as you want. Anyway, that's your Kang family's business!"
The two left in a loud quarrel. Kang Cong, who was chasing after him, heard this conversation, his face suddenly changed, and his heart was filled with sadness - was he a very cheap person?
Seeing a fork in the road ahead, Kang Zhi and Shi Wen were finally able to separate. However, Shi Wen took two steps and ran to catch up with Kang Zhi. She reached out and grabbed Kang Zhi's robe: "...I don't want to It’s okay to marry, but you owe me an explanation!”
Kang Zhi threw her away: "Madman, what kind of explanation do you want from me?"
"I didn't know until later that it was you who told him not to talk to me!" Shi Wen had tears on her face, feeling aggrieved and angry: "My father tried his best to help him, so naturally I never looked up or down with him every time we met. I see him always avoiding me, never saying a word to me, and not answering when I call him... Seeing this, how can I not feel strange? "
"I, Shi Wen, have never been treated like this before!"
"The more he behaves like this, the more I can't help but pay attention to him!"
"I made eye contact with him, all because of you!"
"..." Kang Zhi shook her cheeks in disbelief. In this way, she actually did good things with evil intentions and became the matchmaker of heaven? !
The more Shi Wen cried, the more aggrieved she became, and she reached out and grabbed Kang Zhi's arm: "Kang Ani, if you don't give me an explanation, this matter will never end!"
Kang Zhi shook him off, and she grabbed him again. The two of them screamed, pushed and tore apart.
It wasn't until Kang Cong caught up to here that he pulled Shi Wen away.
"It's so annoying, take care of this lunatic!"
Kang Zhi turned around and left with a dark face, but Shi Wen insisted on asking her for an explanation. Kang Zhi was so annoyed that she ran around outside from the first to the third grade of junior high school, not giving Shi Wen a chance to get entangled.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chang Suining and his 50,000 troops finally arrived at the Anbei Protectorate.
Qin Duhu led a group of generals to personally greet him outside the Duhu Mansion.
At the same moment, from the north, Cui Jing, who knew that the Bingzhou cavalry was coming and returned from the front line where the fighting had slowed down, was also close to the Anbei Protectorate. (End of chapter)
