Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

"We'll sleep on it at night."

"No!" Zhao Shijian immediately vetoed it, guessing in his heart that he must be thinking about something nasty again, so he quickly covered it up: "It's too cold, it will freeze the body."

"Let's bring more quilts and bring them up."

"No, there will be night wind." Zhao Shijian didn't give him a chance.

The person behind said helplessly: "Okay then, let's go to sleep. In fact, I think it's the same everywhere. I can still watch the stars from the tree."

Zhao Shijian's face was burning hot, he would be a ghost if he believed what he said, he was looking at the stars in the winter, he had something wrong in his heart, and wanted to do something despicable.

She originally thought that with a physical relationship, the relationship between a man and a woman would be nothing more than this, but this guy's methods were beyond her understanding and imagination, breaking through the lower limit, many times it was difficult for her to resist, and she gritted her teeth and refused to cooperate.

In the future, I must teach him well... Zhao Shijian thought in his heart.

.......

At noon the next day, Shi Congyun was in the blacksmith's shop outside Longjin Gate, looking for someone to help Luqiu Zhongqing make a pair of armor that fit him.

Luqiu Zhongqing wanted to go with him to the front line. No one could say for sure what happened on the battlefield. It was always good to have body armor, and it wasn't the heavy iron armor they used when they went into battle to kill the enemy.

It was a thin scale armor, and it didn't need to cover the whole body. It was much lighter, and its protection was not as good as the thick armor they wore when they went into battle, but it was enough. He didn't want Luqiu Zhongqing to charge into the battle to kill the enemy.

Such a suit of armor is not cheap, and Shi Congyun paid the money in advance, which once again made Luqiu Zhongqing very grateful.

After a while, some personal soldiers came to look for him in a hurry on horseback. As soon as they got off their horses, they shouted: "Master Xiang, someone from the Privy Council is here, and I want you to go there!"

Shi Congyun nodded, and told the soldiers around him to stay with Luqiu Zhongqing and hand over to the blacksmith, otherwise he was afraid of being bullied. Luqiu Zhongqing is both a foreigner and a literati, and there are many troublesome people in Daliang City.

Then he rode his horse to the Privy Council Office.

After entering the official office, Wei Renpu did not stay in the office room this time, but was waiting for him in the corridor outside the courtyard.

Seeing him coming, he didn't say any polite words, and directly handed him a document with the official seal of the Privy Council: "Master Shixiang, the army will be reorganized immediately from tomorrow, the officials have decided to go to the imperial conquest, and the holy cavalry will come to Huainan in person.

With Iron Cavalry and Long Jie as the forerunners, the Crane Control Army accompanied them. "

Shi Congyun took a long breath, with excitement and tension intertwined in his chest, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

Wei Renpu probably had a good impression of him, because Shi Congyun has always been very respectful to his husbands, so he went on to say: "This time, the official's personal expedition, everything is under the eyes of the official, and there are not many opportunities like this." Yes, but you have to take good care of it, it is always different whether the officials see it or not."

Shi Congyun was excited, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your reminder, I know!"

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, definite news came out from the palace that the officials had decided to go on a personal conquest!Shi Congyun was also ordered to start gathering troops outside the city.

.......

Under the corridor of the side hall of the Chuigong Hall, Guo Rongqing stroked the carved bow in his hand, and sighed: "Four or five years ago, I was able to pull it away. I have worked so hard over the years, but I suddenly remembered that I couldn't pull it away." .”

There were only Wang Pu and Wei Renpu standing behind him, and Wang Pu said directly: "It is not the courage of the people that the officials rule the world. Besides, all the generals and soldiers in the world are the strong bows and swords of the officials. Why can't the officials draw a bow?" worry."

Guo Rong didn't reply, and he was silent for a while before he said, "There are not many bows and swords that can be used in the world. Besides, swords have double edges, and if you are not careful, you may hurt yourself."

Wei Renpu didn't dare to answer these words, and fell silent.

"That depends on whether the official family is well-off." The upright Wang Pu said directly.

The official looked at him and smiled: "In front of me, only you, Wang Wenbo, dare to speak like this, but you are telling the truth, and I like it very much."

"Going south this time, the situation in the world has to be determined. I went with such determination, but I don't know if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the Forbidden Army of Daliang are with me." Guo Rong said His face darkened.

"I don't know which ones are precious bows and swords, and which ones are rotten copper..."

"Lu Yao knows that horsepower will see people's hearts for a long time. This battle is related to the destiny of the country. It is the beginning of the official's plan. Almost all the forbidden troops will go south. By then, it will be clear at a glance who is the sharp sword and who is the rotten iron." Wei Renpu said slowly.

The official smiled, nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. It's not bad to have Shi Congyun in the first battle against Shu. This time I'm going south, and I want to go there in person, so I have the intention of trying the sword."

"The officials are wise!" The two said, clasping their hands.

Then Wei Renpu hesitated, "The Queen..."

Empress Fu repeatedly dissuaded her when she heard that the official's family wanted to drive the imperial conquest in person, even to the point of crying, saying that she was afraid that something might happen on the official's southern expedition, and it was no secret.

Guo Rong frowned irritably: "Women's opinions don't matter."

I thought if she wasn't the daughter of the Fu family, how could she dare to cry with the emperor like this, and even stop him from conscripting himself.

Then he seemed to think of something, "I heard that the Fu family wants to marry their sixth daughter to Shi Congyun?"

Wang Pu nodded: "But there is such a thing."

He is the right to know the Kaifeng government affairs, and the whole girder is under his management, so naturally, any disturbance cannot escape his eyes.

Guo Rong narrowed his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu felt that the atmosphere was subtle and dangerous, and they didn't dare to speak out.

After a long time, he said: "This time going south, let Shi Congyun lead the left wing of the crane and follow Shengjia."

Wei Renpu said repeatedly: "I obey the order!"

.......

In the royal garden outside the north gate of the inner city, it was covered with snow, and the small pavilion in the garden was filled with white mist, and heaters were placed in the four corners to dispel the cold. Many court ladies and eunuchs stood in the snow one by one, three floors inside and three floors outside.

Empress Fu was dressed in fiery red fox fur, with a warm blanket on her back, and a copper stove in front of her, dignified and rich with a hint of liveliness.

The two younger sisters sat across from her.

"I don't want to leave the palace easily, and I don't want to invite you into the palace. I'm afraid that Shi Congyun will have a gap with the sixth child, so we can only meet like this." Empress Fu said.

"All according to the arrangement of the elder sister."

In front of the eldest sister, the two younger sisters were not as comfortable and lively as they were when they were alone. Instead, they straightened their backs, sat upright, and spoke properly.

Empress Fu exchanged pleasantries with them, and then said, "I can't stop the official conquest this time.

The officials traveled thousands of miles to transfer Shi Congyun back from Guanzhong, and they will definitely let him join the army. Fortunately, the sixth child is not in a hurry to marry him, and if he goes to the battlefield, he will be rich, his life will be unpredictable..."

Empress Fu's face was calm and her appearance was dignified, but what she said was cold, "It's just right, let's see if Shi Congyun is worthy of being the sixth child. If he behaves well in the south, he will earn money again." Merit, the sixth child did not disgrace the lintel in the past.

But if his performance is mediocre and he has no achievements, I will find a good family with ability and merit for Lao Liu. "

The delicate and beautiful Fu Liu listened to her sister's words quietly, and felt that such an approach was not good. She was a daughter's family, and since she had agreed to the Shi family, she should stick to it.

But when he met his sister's eyes, he immediately lost his mind and didn't dare to disobey, so he could only bite his lip and nod lightly.

.......

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, banners and flags stood in the north of Daliang City, drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the dust on the avenue was flying with the warm breeze of early spring, and it was gray for several miles.

The left side of the control crane, the left side of the iron cavalry, the right side of Longjie, and the east and west squads assembled in the field north of Daliang City. The army of more than 5 people stretched for several miles and lined up, waiting for the holy driver.

The scorching sun hung high at noon, and the big banner of the official family appeared far to the west. Shi Congyun heard the voice of the front line shouting "Long live" overwhelmingly.

Then the order was issued layer by layer from the mouths of the messengers running between the armies, and the army set off, officially heading south!

Shi Congyun was dressed in light armor and rode on horseback. There were many flags behind him. Luqiu Zhongqing, Shao Ji, Wang Zhong, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan and others with excited faces followed behind him. The envoys, the Fourth Army commanded Yu Cheng, the Fifth Army commanded Shen Zhiyi, and the Sixth Army commanded Zhou Bupu and so on.

The all-out war between Hou Zhou and Southern Tang began!

Great ambition breeds, and a man travels across the world

Chapter 119, Down South

On the way to the south, the army chose to take Daliang to the south, pass Zhen'an army, enter Chenzhou and arrive at Aizhengyang.

But it is not a simple matter to arrange the security of an army of more than 5 people. Not to mention the need to fight, it is also a big deal to arrange the food, drink and lazard for more than 5 people without fighting.

So although the officials began to inspect the three armies in the first month, the whole army went south.By the time all the auxiliary soldiers, farmers conscripted, and convoys left the north side of Daliang, it was already early February.

Shi Congyun took control of the crane's left chamber, and set off earlier, accompanying Shengjia all the time.

Different from Qinling Mountains and Shanxi, the road going south is smooth, the vast wilderness stretches for thousands of miles, and the long team can't see the end, stretching between the blue sky and the earth.

Shi Congyun was riding a horse, and he could see the Luan flag not far in front of him from a distance, the distance was only a few hundred steps.

Wei Renpu's reminders to him kept coming back to his ears. Shi Congyun now understands this truth, and it is also a credit. It is completely different from whether the officials see it or not.

For example, in Gaoping, someone yelled, "The lord humiliates the minister to death, and I will use my generation" and was directly promoted to the commander of the Crane Bow and Arrow Commander, just because he yelled in front of the officials.

He worked hard for half a year on the front line of the Shu Kingdom, and finally got the commander of the left wing of the control crane. Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to the Marquis of Yu, the capital in front of the palace, because Zhao Kuangyin's words were very suitable for the officials in Daliang, and the officials thought he was knowledgeable.

Shi Congyun now fully understands that today's world is ruled by the emperor, and the emperor's power is all over the sky, so no matter how hard he tries, he must let the emperor see it.

And now is such an opportunity.

The emperor personally marched, and he led the crane army to accompany him. If such an opportunity is not seized, it will be rare in the future.

Wei Renpu would deliberately mention him. There are not many such opportunities for young people. This is a personal preference.

Shi Congyun once again looked at the emperor Chengyu in the distance.

This time I didn't go to Shanxi, the road to the south was smooth and easy to walk, so Guo Rong's carriage was very luxurious, pulled by [-] horses, the size was like a moving house, and it should be a luxurious small palace inside.

Of course, this was just his imagination, he had never seen it before, and he didn't dare to get close to see it.

Not only him, but also the accompanying generals would subconsciously stay away.

Because not only the officials, but also Queen Fu went south this time.

At first, Empress Fu prevented the official conquest, but the official ignored it, and finally insisted on accompanying Shengjia, and the official agreed.

Shi Congyun didn't understand what was going on in the queen's mind, such a difficult thing had to happen, would she be able to bear it?Trekking is no joke these days.

But he was a little envious of Guo Rong...

Others may not dare to think about this kind of thing, but for Shi Congyun, there is no pressure. In later generations, he will run around in a dragon robe and no one will care about him. Besides, no one else knows what people think... .

At noon, with the scorching sun hanging high, Shi Congyun asked Shao Ji beside him, "Where have we been?"

"It's almost out of the territory of the Zhen'an Army, and we can go to the front line in about three or four hundred miles."

"Four hundred miles, after walking for so many days, there are still four hundred miles..." Shi Congyun was overwhelmed when he heard that. It would be great if there was a high-speed rail or something.

Luqiu Zhongqing said: "It's better to go to Huaibei. If you want to go down the mountain in the east of the river, it will be even more difficult."

Shi Congyun took it for granted, he understood this, but he still resisted the urge to teach everyone a high school physics class.

.......

In mid-February, the army was already close to the front line, and from time to time on the southern avenue, a large number of young and strong peasants could be seen helping the army transport food and supplies.

There are also many auxiliary soldiers holding whips on the side of the road to supervise.

Before Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, the state confiscated the people to work, and the people had to bring their own food, finances and bedding.

After Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, it was stipulated that the people should work for the country, and the country should provide food and housing.

Therefore, the civilian husbands at this time must be supervised by auxiliary soldiers and suppressed violently when necessary.

Going further south, he began to meet some wounded soldiers that Li Gu placed in the rear, Shao Ji also told him in a low voice: "We're almost at the Huaihe River, maybe it's only five or six days' journey."

Shi Congyun nodded.

Looking up and looking forward, about a mile in front of the official Luanjia, you can see a big flag embroidered with the word "Li" in the distance. Commander Li Chongjin's banner.

Li Chongjin is so famous, he is the head of the bodyguard department, and the nephew of Xianjun Guo Wei.Of course Shi Congyun knew, but Shi Congyun didn't know what kind of person he was.

......

Not long after the sun had risen that day, when the army was marching, a messenger came from the government's Chengyu side, and said loudly: "Decree, announce the command of the left side of the crane and Shi Congyun, the defense envoy of Yunzhou." Listen to the imperial order!"

Shi Congyun was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't reached the edge of the Huaihe River yet, could something urgent be happening?

So he quickly got on his horse and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going here." He hit the horse and drove in the direction of Chengyu.

.......

When he arrived in front of the gorgeous Chengyu of the Emperor of the Chinese Army, there was a circle of imperial guards in iron armor and bronze beast masks on the periphery.He was tall and burly, with a hulking waist, and Shi Congyun had no doubt that if he really tried his best, he could drink a pot of these people out of nowhere.

Seeing him coming, make a way for him to go in.

The official stood in front of Chengyu's vermilion crossbar in an ordinary round-neck suit, his face as gloomy as water.

There were already two armored generals waiting ahead, and the tallest of them was his father Shi Yanchao.

The other had the same dark complexion as Zhao Kuangyin, and was much shorter than his father, but he was still tall by ordinary people's standards.

Seeing the official's face, Shi Congyun knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said directly: "I have seen the official, and I am here to take orders."

The official glanced at him, approving of his behavior, nodded and said: "Get up, let me make a long story short.

It has been two or three months since the siege of Li Gu in December last year, but Shouzhou has still not been captured.

Southern Tang sent reinforcements, and Li Gu wrote a letter, saying that he was giving up the siege and retreating to Zhengyang for fear of being cut off. If the situation was urgent, he would cross the Huaihe River and burn the floating bridge! "

The official's expression became more and more grim, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Gu's actions: "I ordered you to go to support and tell Li Gu not to retreat! We will definitely not retreat! The army will arrive soon, let him hold on."
