Beacon quenching beauty

After Wuniuling's rebel army conquered Xucheng County again, their reputation was greatly shaken, and there were no large numbers of Yuan troops nearby to encircle and suppress.

Today, there are rebels all over the world, and the Yuan Dynasty court is exhausted. They don't care about their half-sized forces, and they don't have time to mobilize a large army from a distance to attack.

Song Qingshu led the crowd to settle down in Xucheng County, and the soldiers under him were reorganized and equipped with captured armor and weapons.Abandoning the unpopular titles of big head and second head in the cottage, promoted Song Wuyi, Song Gaishi, Qi Tianbao, and Wang Daquan to a thousand households, and set up ten hundred households under each of them. Song Qingshu himself was the boss, but instead No name or title.

"Brother, what do you think of the title of King Kang?" Song Gaishi came to flatter him early in the morning, "I asked an old scholar about it. The 24th generation of the Song Dynasty, the No. 20th fourth king is called Song Kangwang, and our surname is Song, they are all his descendants, you should inherit the legacy of your ancestors and become King Kang."

Song Qingshu was drinking medicine, this medicine was brought by Zhang Wuji last time, one pair was prepared and wrapped in paper, enough to last for several months.Hearing this 'Kang Kang''s bad idea suddenly, he almost didn't spit out a gulp of medicine, and shouted, "You're talking nonsense again, then King Kang of Song Dynasty is the king of subjugation, you let me inherit his will? Do you want us to lose the army earlier?"

Song Gaishi shrank his neck, "I never thought about it, the old scholar said he is the orthodox Song family, so I..., his grandma's, lie to me, let me deal with him!"

Song Qingshu drank the medicine in his hand in a few sips, handed the empty bowl to the soldiers behind him, and called Song Gaishi back, "You come back, what are you yelling about, that old scholar didn't lie to you, you didn't understand it yourself. That's fine. , let alone this king, that king, he dares to be king if he has an army of 10,000+ and occupies dozens of states and counties. We only occupy such a large area, and we just think about these things. If you say it, you will laugh it off The big teeth of others. Stop daydreaming here, and follow me to the barracks." Said and walked out quickly.

Song Gaishi trotted to keep up, muttering softly at the same time, "Didn't I see that even some of us have become thousands of households, brother, you don't have any titles yet, so I'm worried for you."

Song Qingshu ignored him and asked, "You have been asking you to recruit soldiers these days, how many people do we have now?"

"Nearly 3000 people were brought down from Wuniuling. After several battles, many soldiers were recruited one after another. Adding the recruits in the past two months, there are a total of 8000 people. According to this posture, the entry There must be 1 people before winter."

"Well, the military rations should be stockpiled in advance, and it will be difficult to collect rations in winter."

"I know, my brother hasn't done anything in the past few days, and he made a special trip to the surrounding area to collect food and grass."

Song Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Let him come to me when he comes back, I have something to tell him."

"Oh, I see."

Taking Song Gaishi to the camp outside the city, the camp was originally the garrison of the local court guards. After Song Qingshu occupied Xucheng County, he used it directly. Because there were not so many local guards, he ordered people to simply expand it. .

Qi Tianbao and Wang Daquan were supervising the drill of the soldiers, there was loud shouts and cheers on the drill ground, everyone saw the leader coming, they all worked hard and put in more effort during the drill.We all know that this leader looks like a young and handsome scholar, but he is actually capable of killing enemies on the battlefield. He attacked Xucheng County twice, and both times he personally went into battle to kill the generals of the Yuan army. His martial arts are very strong, so no one can Dare to be lazy and perfunctory when Song Qingshu came to inspect.

Song Qingshu followed Song Gaishi, Qi Tianbao and Wang Daquan walked around the field, and when they arrived at the northwest corner, where a group of soldiers were practicing archery, they suddenly pointed to a soldier who was shooting a target with a bow, "You, stop!" !"

The soldier was concentrating on shooting arrows, but he didn't hear it. The nine-man leader next to him hurriedly shouted, and then he stopped, and looked over worriedly, "General?"

Song Qingshu went over to take the bow and arrow in his hand, "Your posture just now is not right, you must stand firm first, your left shoulder should face the bull's-eye, your arms should be flat, and your eyes should be facing straight." After speaking, he took a posture, took the arrow and drew the bow, "嗖" With a bang, the feather arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Everyone around cheered in unison, Song Qingshu returned the bow and arrow to the soldier, and asked him to practice well, and the purpose of visiting the camp today and standing up for himself was achieved. Mansion, back to his county office to rest.

Song Gaish laughed in the back, "What is this? They have never seen the elder brother shoot rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. How fast the rabbit runs. At that time, the elder brother used a slingshot. Sure, shooting this big target that just stands there and doesn't move is a piece of cake."

Song Qingshu glanced at him, "Are you laughing at me?"

"No, no, how dare I exaggerate my elder brother," while regretting, "Kang Wang is so nice, if you were Kang Wang, they would have praised Kang Wang for his skill just now!"

Song Qingshu stroked his forehead and said, "Don't make trouble for me!"

As soon as he entered the government office, his own soldiers came up to report, and Marshal Chen of Xishui sent someone to send a letter.

Marshal Chen is Chen Youliang. When Song Qingshu followed Zhang Wuji on his trip to Xishui, he promised to persuade Mingjiao to help him kill Tianwan's general Zhao Pusheng.

After Zhao Pusheng's death, Chen Youliang paid attention to Song Qingshu. He felt that this boy was not what he used to be, and he was much more stable and capable. With this relationship, he might be of some use in the future.

Sure enough, it was heard that Song Qingshu led people to capture Xucheng County.Chen Youliang has always coveted this place, but he has no time to send troops to seize it. Hearing that it was occupied by Song Qingshu, he immediately repaired a book and sent someone to send it. .

Song Qingshu took the letter, opened it, read it carefully, threw it on the case, and said with a sneer to Song Gaishi, "We are being targeted before we have a firm footing! Marshal Chen Youliang from Xishui wrote to persuade us to bring The territory of the people and horses is surrendered."

As soon as the words fell, another soldier came in to report, saying that the leader of Mingjiao had sent an envoy, and they had already arrived outside the door.

Song Gaish grinned, "Okay, here comes another one who is after us." In his eyes, Zhang Jiaozhu and Chen Youliang are not much different.They are all interested in their territory and people.

Song Qingshu, the emissary sent by Zhang Wuji, could not be neglected. He first ordered people to send away the person who sent the letter to Chen Youliang, because at this time his strength was weak and it was not easy to make enemies, so he tried his best to politely and tactfully prevaricate, and then went out to meet Mingjiao's envoy himself.

When he came out, he laughed and saw that Zhang Wuji sent two people: one with three long beards and a whisk, dressed as a wandering Taoist priest, Du Weineng, the head of Fengzimen; the other was short and fat , with a kind face, turned out to be Aunt Niu.

He took two steps forward and clasped his fists together, "Master Du, I didn't expect Master Zhang to let you go there in person. I don't dare to take it."

Du Weineng wondered, "You know me?"

Song Qingshu met Zhang Wuji through the curtain of the carriage on the way to Xishui with Zhang Wuji, and said with a vague smile, "Master Du is the master of the Fengmen sect under Yang Zuoshi. He is famous all over the world, and I have admired him for a long time."

Then turned to Aunt Niu and showed a big smile, "Aunt Niu, it's great that you're here, I miss you all the time."

Aunt Niu was overjoyed, "I have nothing to worry about. You have the time to take care of yourself, it's serious. Look at how skinny you are! I said Mr. Song, you have the ability. Once you make a move, you are extraordinary and captured a county. "

Song Qingshu invited the two of them into the room, and sat down as guest and host, "Master Du came from a long way, thank you for your hard work."

Du Weineng waved his hand, "I'm just running around, what's the trouble?"

He had accompanied Yang Xiao to Shaoshi Mountain to participate in the martial arts conference back then, and he knew very well about Song Qingshu's shameful past of deceiving his master and betraying his father.

He directly took out a thick document and said, "This is a dispatch order from the sect. The people here, Mr. Song, will be transferred to General Xu Daxu's command, and Xucheng County will also be placed under his jurisdiction."

Song Qingshu gave a noncommittal "Yes", remembering that Zhang Wuji mentioned this to him once before, but he was too tired to talk about it in detail at the time, "Then how do I plan to arrange these generals under my command?"

Du Weineng said, "You have four thousand households here, and the soldiers under them will not move. They will all be assigned to General Xu, and their positions will be promoted by one level. I worship two members of the ten generals in the middle road." After finishing speaking, he closed his mouth.

Song Qingshu was taken aback, "That's all?"

"Exactly."

Song Gaishi had been standing behind him without making a sound. At this time, he couldn't help but shouted, "What about my elder brother? The leader split up part of our army, with two vanguards on the left and right, and two defenses on the center. Then he is going to kill my elder brother." Where is it placed?"

Song Qingshu raised a palm, signaling Song Gaishi to be safe and calm, "Gaishi, don't shout, listen to Master Du and finish speaking."

Du Weineng said, "Mr. Song is very courageous and talented, the leader should have made other arrangements, but the leader didn't say it clearly, we don't know if we are subordinates, he wants you to come back to Haozhou with me .”

Glancing at Aunt Niu, "The leader is afraid that Mr. Song will have some doubts, so he asked Aunt Niu and me to explain this matter to you."

Song Qingshu looked at Aunt Niu, and Aunt Niu stood up, "Young Master Song, before I came, the leader asked me to tell you a few words, let's take a step."

Song Qingshu got up and was about to take her to the inner room, when he caught sight of Song Gaishi staring at Du Weineng covetously, secretly thought that Du Weineng was good at martial arts, Song Gaishi was afraid he would suffer if he provoked him, so he warned, "Gaishi, go and order someone to send her to you." Tea is coming, please greet Master Du, don't be rude."

After Song Gaishi angrily agreed, he led Aunt Niu inside, "Aunt Niu, what does Master Zhang want you to tell me?"

"He was afraid that you would not want to go back, so he asked me to persuade you."

Song Qingshu bowed his head and remained silent.

Aunt Niu said again, "Young Master Song, the leader is doing it for your own good. He said that you came out as if you were fighting for your life, and your health couldn't bear it. Although it is good to lead the rebel army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, it is hard work, and non-strong warriors are not competent. If you continue to do this If you insist on it, you will have endless troubles. Besides, if you are a big fan in the future, if you offend someone from your former teacher, it will be really dangerous for the leader to not be by your side to watch over you all the time."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Qingshu's obviously thin cheeks, and felt very heartbroken, "I'm not fat at first, but now I'm so tired that I'm skinny! Mr. Song, don't worry, according to what the leader said, he should be with Zhao soon. Girls get married, after they get married, naturally they won't have so much time to come to you all the time, Aunt Niu, let me pay more attention, try not to let the leader rest with us at night, after a long time, those rumors will be self-defeating , no one will gossip about you anymore. The leader also specifically asked me to tell you that he doesn't drink very well. He drank a lot when he came last time. He had a fight with you. It's his fault. Don't mind , I won’t do it in the future.” He said funny, “Why are you acting like children, why did the leader make trouble with you? You see, he has already apologized first, so don’t take it to heart. After all, the leader is really It's good, and it's good for you."

Song Qingshu understood that what Zhang Wuji said was to tell him that the two of them had sex after drinking last time, so don't take it to heart.Meeting in the future is still the same as before.

Still groaning, he raised his head after thinking for a while, "Aunt Niu, this matter is not right, now the land in Xucheng County is the foundation of my life, and I will definitely not agree to being taken away like this. of."

Aunt Niu was anxious, "Young Master Song, can you still trust the leader? He is really looking out for your own good, and he is definitely not greedy for your territory! I know that a good man should have high ambitions, but aren't we in poor health? If you want to start a career, there is no rush at this moment, take good care of it for two years, and it will not be too late to start after your body is healthy!"

"Of course I'm not suspicious of Zhang Jiaozhu. He leads the Mingjiao. The uprising army is so powerful. How could he pay attention to such a small place. To take a step back, he has a great favor for me. If he really wants this place, then I will definitely give it away. It’s just that it’s not the case now. Master Zhang is clearly going to take this little man in my hand so that I can go back to recuperate. After I finally got out, I really don’t want to go back. Live a life of being dependent on others. You are right, I was fighting for my life to lay down such a small place, and now I let it go easily, who knows if I will have my life to fight again in the future."

Aunt Niu kept saying "Bah, Bah, Bah!" "You are young, don't talk nonsense! You will be strong and healthy in the future, and you can do anything."

He persuaded again, "I know you are always dependent on others, and you will be suspicious of Yang Zuo at every turn, so you must be unhappy. But bear with it for a year or two, and then come out and work hard, isn't it the same? "

Song Qingshu shook his head and smiled wryly, this year or two was really unbearable, Zhang Wuji could treat what happened that night as drunken sex, but he couldn't, he didn't drink much!The two of them will only get more and more embarrassing when they get together again.

Besides, who knows what will happen two years later, it's not that he wants to start a career, there will be a team at hand for him to drive, and a small city is waiting for him to capture.

"No, Aunt Niu, firstly, it is not easy for me to be in the situation I am today, and I cannot let go easily; secondly, I don't want to always be sheltered by the leader Zhang. It is always wrong for me to go back to him after those rumors. Please replace me Let me tell Hierarch Zhang, I appreciate his kindness, but I'm sorry."

When it comes to 'excuse me', the tone becomes tougher.

Aunt Niu looked at him worriedly and sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade her anymore, she gently touched Song Qingshu's arm, "Mr. Song, I can understand your thoughts, but you are making things too difficult for yourself."

The two talked for a long time, thinking that they couldn't always let Master Du wait outside and come out together.

Song Qingshu cut to the chase and said, "Master Du, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I have to bother you for nothing, and I'm sorry for the arrangement in the teaching."

Song Gaishi was nervous all the time, he let out a heavy breath after hearing what he said.

Du Weineng paused, but it wasn't particularly surprising. After all, this order was to swallow up other people's territory and soldiers, and not to give benefits on the surface. It was strange that Song Qingshu could be obedient.He originally thought that Aunt Niu was a follower left by the leader, and secretly there must be something that could hold Song Qingshu to tell him, but it seems that Aunt Niu has not succeeded at this time.

Standing up, "Young Master Song is going to disobey the order of the sect? Do you know how the disciples in the sect deal with those who disobey orders?"

Song Qingshu smiled lightly, "Master Du, please forgive me. I admired Mingjiao's illustrious prestige at that time, so I started my army under the banner of Mingjiao, but I didn't formally enter the Mingjiao, so I was not considered a disciple of Mingjiao. Please pay homage to Master Zhang and the leaders of the sect. Song Qingshu I have absolutely no malice towards the Ming Cult, and I have always admired and admired it, but since I have decided to devote myself to the great cause of fighting against the Yuan Dynasty, I must have some soldiers and horses in my hands, so please forgive me."

Du Weineng expected that the people here were all Song Qingshu's people, and he would get nothing by being tough, so he nodded coldly, "Well, I will pass on what Young Master Song said to the leader. Farewell!"

Song Qingshu politely sent him and Aunt Niu out of the mansion. Aunt Niu was full of worry, "Young Master Song, you must take care of yourself!"

"I know, thank you."

After sending the two away, Song Qingshu immediately called Song Gaishi, "Gaishi, hurry up and chase back the person sent by Marshal Chen of Xishui to deliver the letter!"
