Song Emperor Jiangshan

Chapter 85 Blind Date

The last time Empress Dowager Wei gave a maid to the palace, that person said that she would be happy to have a beauty in her arms; so what about this time?After he told himself that he liked him, would he still be happy to see himself hugging someone else?

After Xiao Shan left Lin'an that day, he rushed all the way back to Zhenjiang. Shao Hongyuan and others had already heard the news of Qin Hui's downfall. Xiao Shan was honored by Shao Hongyuan as soon as he returned. Zhou Hong and Jin Sheng didn't know Xiao Shan's true identity until this time. What surprised and frightened them was that Mr. Zhao, who went with them to quell the demons in Xuanzhou, turned out to be the king of Pu'an County, and he was very likely to become the heir of the emperor!In front of the future emperor, the army collapsed, those who fled, those who fled, and those who joked and joked, all were very disturbed.

Only Li Huchen and others were overjoyed when they learned Zhao Yuan's true identity. They got closer to the future emperor and had an extraordinary friendship. It was only a matter of time before they were promoted in the future.

Next, Xiao Shan will hand over the defense and deal with his own lineage.

Handing over the defense is relatively simple, but dealing with your own team is a bit troublesome.

His nominal subordinates are only 300 people, but originally increased to more than 900 people when he exterminated Xuanzhou demons, and after two years, many people were recruited, and now there are more than 1000 subordinates.Although the number of this army is in line with his status as a general, nearly 1000 of the more than [-] people are black households, and their fate has become the biggest problem.

Zhao Yuan also discussed this issue with him before he came back. Over the years, Xiao Shan has not only cultivated the land by himself, but also sent special personnel to sea to follow Father Qin to do business, and reselling it back and forth has made a lot of profit. Originally, he thought that as long as Qin Hui fell, it would cost more than military expenses. It will soon become issued by the imperial court, and the momentum will definitely increase.Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou didn't mean that at all, he only admitted to recruiting the army, but transferred Xiao Shan to another place, which was basically empty-although he didn't have much influence.

Before leaving, Shao Hongyuan asked Xiao Shan who could replace him after he left.Xiao Shan thought for a while, and recommended someone——Wu Luan.

In the past two years, Wu Luan has worked very hard and grown very fast. During many exercises and training, he has faintly become a leader in the army. He is usually quiet and not very talkative, but the team he leads is brave in battle.After many investigations, Xiao Shan hoped that he could replace him and manage the team he had spent so much effort on.

Xiao Shan originally thought that Wu Luan would be very happy when he heard the news, after all, it was a leapfrog promotion for him, but the result was beyond Xiao Shan's expectation. Go to Ezhou to take up his post.

Xiao Shan persuaded him twice, hoping that he would change his mind, but no matter what Xiao Shan said, Wu Luan still refused to stay to take care of the team for Xiao Shan, so Xiao Shan had to find someone else.Logically speaking, his former deputy general is a suitable candidate, but Xiao Shan is also a little selfish, hoping to find his cronies to take his place after he leaves. Besides, his previous deputy general's ability is also very ordinary, and he is a bit timid. It is difficult to take care of any situation.

Xiao Shan went around in his army, and finally chose Li Huchen.

Li Huchen was born with great strength and superb martial arts skills. Some people in the army liked him very much, while others hated him very much. Letting him succeed him was the second choice.But there is also one aspect that others can't compare to, that is, Li Huchen is bold, careful and loyal.Not only his confidants, but in a sense, this arrangement will make Zhao Yuan more satisfied, after all, Li Huchen came here as Zhao Yuan's personal soldier in the first place.

Xiao Shan didn't have to worry about military pay at all. Since the imperial court recognized these teams, they would pay military pay. Although there was no need to send special personnel to sea, Li Huchen was unwilling to cut off this route.Since Xiao Shan has chosen him as his successor, he can only respect his thoughts and opinions.

As for Qin Chong, Xiao Shan will also go there. Qin Chong has made a small fortune doing business in the sea these years, and wants to try to invest some money in shipbuilding. Xiao Shan knows about this kind of thing. It's just a gimmick, and I don't have much advice to give.

On the contrary, Wang Meiniang was very unhappy, talking about Xiao Shan's inconsistency in marriage all day long, saying that such a good girl Xiao Shan would not want, and finally let her marry someone else.

Xiao Shan felt a little sorry, and asked who He Caiwei married. Wang Meiniang scolded Xiao Shan, and then said that she married a local scholar named Zhang.He felt a little guilty in his heart, and wanted to go to see it, but now people thought it was a wife, and it was inconvenient to visit, so he could only let it go.

After everything was arranged properly, Xiao Shan picked ten soldiers, set off from Zhenjiang, and went to Ezhou to take office.

The original governor of Ezhou was Li Dao, Yue Fei's former subordinate. Since Zhao Gou was preparing to deal with Qin Hui, he was transferred to Ezhou to be promoted to the town governor to prevent accidents.The area around Jingxiang was originally Yue Fei's defense area, and Xiao Shan felt quite happy to be able to take up his post here.

Before he arrived in Ezhou City, he had already felt the difference between this place and other places. He had encountered officers and soldiers passing by several times outside the city. However, the orders are strict, the actions are quick, and the camps are strictly organized. After Yue Fei died, the generals who succeeded him were not strict in discipline, and the military discipline of the Yue Family Army was a lot looser. It is already a legendary story. However, there are still many veterans in the army who fought with Yue Fei in the South and North. Their combat quality has declined compared to when Yue Fei was there, but compared with other armies, they are still outstanding.

Seeing this, Xiao Shan felt that he had come to the right place. With a little training, this kind of team could regain its former glory, but Wu Luan, who was traveling with him, didn't take it seriously, saying: "The generals in the past said that the Yue family's army was so good and disciplined. It's daunting, but seeing it today, it's nothing more than that, these soldiers are not as good as ours in Zhenjiang!"

Although Wu Luan had followed Xiao Shan to Ezhou, he still didn't regard this place as his territory in his heart, he only thought that the thousand soldiers in Zhenjiang were his own.

Xiao Shan frowned slightly after hearing Wu Luan's words: "When you were young in Jiangbei, you should have seen the Yue Family Army, so it must be very different from what you see today, right?"

Wu Luan showed an expression of trying to remember, and said after a while: "I was young at that time, and I don't remember clearly, but I never harassed the people."

Xiao Shan sighed: "Yue Pengju died unjustly, his trusted generals were either beheaded or exiled, and those who replaced him were mediocre people, and Qin's cronies were wantonly corrupted. It’s been very difficult as it is now.”

Wu Luan was silent, and after a while he suddenly said: "General, will the team we built in Zhenjiang change after we left?"

Xiao Shan was also a little worried about whether Li Huchen would be able to lead him well. He was secretly worried that after he left, the soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion would be led by Li Huchen into a gang of bandits.But it's better to be a bandit than a sick cat, and this is also a helpless choice.

After Xiao Shan and Wu Luan said a few words, they specially instructed him and the dozen or so soldiers accompanying him: "When you arrive in Ezhou, you must not provoke the local garrison, let alone express dissatisfaction with the local garrison!"

Seeing Xiao Shan's seriousness, more than a dozen soldiers fell silent, and immediately said loudly: "Yes!"

Xiao Shan was worried that he would cause dissatisfaction among his colleagues after being boasted by these personal soldiers about the soldiers he had trained in the Zhenjiang Mansion when he just went there, so he issued a strict order not to provoke without reason.

When he arrived in Ezhou Prefecture, Li Dao, the former governor, heard that he was a close friend of Pu'an County King sent by Zhao Gou himself. During the banquet, Xiao Shan looked around and saw Liu Kai, a little strange, Li Dao explained: "Liu Xianggong is in Xiangyang, General Xiao can't visit today."

Xiao Shan felt relieved to meet his new colleagues. When a group of big men were drinking, they suddenly saw a six or seven-year-old girl in a red dress barging in. Before entering the door, she asked loudly, "Who is Xiao Shan?"

Xiao Shan was taken aback. Could it be that even children already know his name?He looked at Li Dao suspiciously, and Li Dao explained with a smile: "This is a young girl, her surname is Li, and her name is Fengniang."

The name of the daughter in the boudoir is generally not disclosed to others. Although the military commander is not as particular as the scholar, it is surprising enough.

The few officials here were not surprised, and they all went to tease Li Fengniang. Li Fengniang snorted at those officials, ignored the teasing of others, and just walked towards Xiao Shan, looked Xiao Shan up and down for a while, with one hand on his hip and one finger. Looking at Xiao Shan, he asked, "Are you Xiao Shan?"

Seeing that Li Fengniang was cute, Xiao Shan reached out to touch her head and said with a smile, "Yes, I am!"

Li Fengniang looked Xiao Shan up and down, and snorted: "It's not too bad!"

Li Dao hurried forward to tell Xiao Shan if he was with him, and ordered the servants at the side to take Li Fengniang away. After Li Fengniang left, the main conversation at the banquet became Li Fengniang's bizarre birth experience. A group of black phoenixes came and lingered, saying that they would be rich and powerful in the future.Li Dao named this girl Fengniang, regarded her as a treasure, and pampered her lawlessly.

When Xiao Shan heard this, he suddenly remembered why he heard the name Li Fengniang so familiar just now, so she would be the wife of Zhao Yuan's third son in the future, that is, Zhao Yuan's daughter-in-law.

But this daughter-in-law is very troublesome. She forced Zhao Yuan's son into a mental illness, and she was very unfilial. After Zhao Yuan abdicated, she was very mean to her.

Now Zhao Yuan's eldest son, Zhao Yu, is the same age as Li Fengniang, and the whereabouts of his third son is unknown, so it is not Xiao Shan's turn to worry about this marriage.But now that he knows what happened in history, Xiao Shan feels normal towards Li Fengniang, even though the little girl is very cute.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Shan officially took office. What Zhao Gou said was to let him be Liu Kai's deputy, but in fact, Li Daoguan was the chief general of Ezhou Prefecture. Xiao Shan only met Liu Kai once in half a year. After I thanked Liu Kai's cavalry in private last time, I never saw him again.But he hangs out with Li Dao every day, so he will inevitably be played by Li Fengniang on his neck. Fortunately, although Xiao Shan knows about his bad deeds in the future, it is difficult for him to refuse a thousand miles away from a girl who is exquisitely carved with pink makeup, not only that On the contrary, Li Fengniang often pestered him to tell stories, and Xiao Shan also took the opportunity to instill some principles of life that his parents neglected to educate.

That day after Xiao Shan had completed his military training, when he returned to the camp, he suddenly received a letter from the posthouse. Xiao Shan knew from the handwriting on the envelope that it was written by Zhao Yuan. He felt a little excited, so he went back to his room and opened it Envelope, when I saw the contents of the letter, I couldn't help but froze.

Although history has gradually deviated from its track under the instigation of his own butterfly wings, the people in it have not changed. The famous story of ten virgins trying to be the heir of the emperor still happened.

Xiao Shan remembered that it was his teacher Shi Hao who persuaded Zhao Yuan not to touch these ten women in history, and Xiao Shan also felt that Zhao Yuan would definitely not be so anxious, but what did the other party mean by writing to him specifically about this matter? ?Could it be that Zhao Yuan was aroused by his actions before leaving Lin'an that day?What if the other party wants to prove that he likes a woman and does something he shouldn't do?So the butterfly's wings flap again, do you want to change the original ending?

Xiao Shan felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know how to reply the letter, he walked out of the door a little bored, and happened to meet Li Dao coming.

Li Dao gave Xiao Shan a task: go back to Beijing to report on his work instead of him. In addition, Fengniang has never been to Lin'an, this time let Xiao Shan help to take him around.

Xiao Shan looked at Li Dao suspiciously, what does it mean that he doesn't care about his own girl and throw it to him to bring her to Lin'an?

In Li Dao's heart, however, he was holding his own small ninety-nine: Xiao Shan returned to Lin'an, and he must go to the Prince's Mansion of Pu'an County. He happened to take his daughter to the capital for a marriage. In two years, Zhao Yuan's son will grow up, and maybe he can make a good marriage.My official position is low, and I have no friendship with Zhao Yuan, if I go, how can I enter the gate of the palace?Or Xiao Shan is the most appropriate candidate.
