Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 593
"Get up, everyone, today is my big wedding, so I won't talk about the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers."

Looking around at the crowd, Wang Zheng laughed: "Just now the etiquette officer said that the auspicious time has come, let's set off now?" Then he turned to Guo Jia and the others and said, "It's still early and the road is cold and windy, so the two of you will leave immediately." Stay in Gong Zhong and accompany Shen Gong and others for me."

Since it is a royal wedding, not only civil and military officials, but also aristocratic families in the city are all present, there are many elderly people, so naturally it is inconvenient to go with them to greet the relatives, Guo Jia and Mi Heng bowed in response.

At this time Xu Fang turned around and brought Wang Zheng's horse. Wang Zheng didn't say much, he held the saddle with one hand, and before Xu Fang could bend his knees to act as a pedal, he used his hands and feet to get on the horse.

After all, the gifted riding skills given by the system are different from others, that is, they have not ridden a horse for a long time, but the movements of getting on and off the horse are as if engraved in their bones, and they are performed by pedaling on the saddle. Unfamiliar and stagnant, most of the entourage and welcoming people were from the army, and most of them were rough and rough. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but cheered loudly.

Wang Zheng sat high on the horse, with a smile on his face, and hugged everyone with square fists.

Xu Fang came over quickly, raised his face and asked, "General, are you leaving now?"

Wang Zheng's smile didn't change, and he didn't look at Xu Fang. While thanking everyone, he just nodded slightly.

Xu Fang turned to leave, Wang Zheng called him back and asked softly, "Where is Gan Ning?"

"Don't worry, general." Xu Fan said in a low voice: "Two hours ago, General Gan sent a military report. All the battalions inside and outside the city are safe and sound."

Every department in the army needs generals, and so does Shouchun, especially Wang Zheng's big wedding, and no mistakes are allowed, so Xu Fang and Gan Ning stayed in the city this time.

And Xu Fang is not only a general, but also a friend of Wang Zheng's general. This wedding will naturally be attended, so the burden of sitting in the barracks naturally falls on Gan Ning. attended.

Wang Zheng nodded slightly: "Let's take the brothers and lead the way, so I got up and went to the embassy."

Xu Fang obeyed the order, turned around and shouted: "Play the music, let's go."

According to the etiquette system of the Qin and Han Dynasties, there is no need for music in weddings. There is such a sentence in "Book of Rites. Xiao Special Animals", "There is no need for music in the evening ceremony, because the righteousness of the dark is also, and the music is also yang, and there is no congratulations in the evening ceremony." , the order of man."

However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the gentry still followed this system, ordinary folks have generally started to use music during their wedding holidays. Whenever there is a wedding, the procession of welcoming relatives often passes by, with loud drums and music, loud songs, and Wang Zheng Although he is a vassal, he still hopes that there will be rituals and music at his wedding, such as Zhang Zhao and others dare not say too much.

After all, this "second wife" is going to marry together, so there is no room for comment on such trivial matters as Li and Le.

As soon as Xu Fang gave the order, the music was played immediately, and for a while, the sound broke the night sky, and it was very lively.

The band at the front is advocating a flower carriage to move forward slowly, in the middle are the companions of Wang Zheng and the crowd to welcome the bride, and then there are hundreds of servants carrying all kinds of things, such as vases, candles, dressing tables, Skirt boxes, clothes boxes, etc.

Further forward, there were two or three hundred footmen before the band holding torches to clear the way, illuminating the way ahead, and further back, there were two or three hundred footmen behind the servants, and the same torches were brightly lit.On both sides of the team, there are cavalry like wolves and tigers.

Along the street, the team moved slowly.There are common people facing the street who knew that Wang Zheng was getting married earlier, and many of them stayed up all night just to see Xuzhou Mu's ostentation.

Ordinary people have no pavilions, and they are not allowed to go out because of the ban, so the whole family gathers at the door and looks out through the cracks in the door. see.

There are also those kind-hearted people who don't live on the street where the welcoming team is going to go, but because they want to see the excitement, they have to visit relatives and friends, and they also find places that can be lent to them early on. All the households on the road gathered together to watch them with the same joy, and there was no need to list them one by one.

The streets that the welcoming team should walk were all stipulated in advance.After walking around Shouchun City for half a circle, I finally came to the gate of the embassy.

At this time the sky is already bright.All the troops extinguished the torches and stood up one after another according to their positions.

When they arrived at the place, they couldn't see the bride right away. After all the soldiers, people, and the band in front had all stood still, Xu Fang and others got off their horses first, and they all turned to look at Wang Zheng.Xu Fang is cautious by nature, even though he and Wang Zheng are friends of the general manager, he doesn't want to talk much at the moment, he just smiles and says nothing, among the accompanying companions, some bold ones shout loudly.Or yell: "General, why don't you get off your horse?"

Naturally, on this occasion today, there would be no talk of superiority or inferiority anymore, Wang Zheng laughed heartily, regardless of whether they were big or small, he waved his hands slightly, the drums rested for a while, and he got off his horse and was supported by the crowd and came to the edge of Huayu.

At this time, the door of the embassy had not been opened, it was locked and closed, and there was no one outside. Xu Fang turned his head, looked at the dark mass of heads behind him, and asked Wang Zheng for instructions. With a wave of his hand, the music started again, and Wang Zheng took the lead and shouted. : "of the Bride"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Come out!"

According to the rules, it would take a while for the bride to come out, but after all, Wang Zheng is the state shepherd, how could the embassy officials of this "temporary natal family" have the guts to make him wait for a long time?But before the shout was over, the vermilion gate opened with a "squeak", and several pedestrians were seen coming out from various directions in the distance, rushing towards the gate.

Now including Xu Fang, everyone roared with laughter, and an older attendant laughed and said: "When I was in my hometown in Zhao County, I also had people from the village to welcome relatives. But when did I see shouting?" One sound, and the bride will go out?!"

Another person smiled at Wang Zheng, who didn't know whether it was a compliment or a joke: "General Huwei, it really is amazing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wang Zheng looked at him and recognized that this person had been his personal guard before, and he had been sent to the army earlier. In the past two years, he has been a captain due to his bravery and fighting skills, so he couldn't help raising his hand and looked at him. Patted on the head, laughed and cursed: "Kuo noise!"

Seeing several brides approaching, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little excited for a moment. He was looking around, trying to see who was who, when suddenly there was a commotion behind him. Looking forward, he saw a crowd of people sweating profusely. Come in, it is Wang Xiong.

Seeing Wang Xiong coming suddenly, Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

His state shepherd is getting married today. Except for Gan Ning, two other close people under his command did not attend. One is Mi Fang, and the other is Wang Xiong. The war is about to start, so it is natural to move in the center, and Wang Xiong is on duty at the official office, so if there is an urgent military task on the front line, there will be no delay.

Xu Fang also saw Wang Xiong, and hurried forward to clear the way for him.Wang Xiong didn't have time to speak to Xu Fang, so he rushed to Wang Zheng, whispered in his ear, and said: "General, our army crossed the river at night last night, but not long after landing, we unexpectedly encountered Danyang's patrolling cavalry on a narrow road. gone."

"Meet on a narrow road? What's going on?"

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the Benming Division investigate before, and the year is approaching, and the night whistle before Danyang has been withdrawn long ago?"

"There is no problem with the intelligence of Benming Division."

Wang Xiongdao: "General Wu and other departments also believed in this way before, but for some reason, last night, a Danyang sentry with about [-] people suddenly rode out of Spring Valley City, just in time to run into the vanguard of General Wu's department."

"What happened after we met?"

"After getting the news, General Wu immediately made a decisive decision, intending to wipe out all the enemies, so as not to leak the news, but..." At this point, Wang Xiong paused, glanced at Wang Zheng's expression, and said cautiously: "After all, because The sky was dark and the road was unfamiliar, so a few people escaped."

Wang Zheng's complexion changed abruptly when he heard the words, he suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice, "It means that the news that our army is going to make a surprise attack has already been leaked?"

Anyone who is not a fool can guess what the soldiers and horses in Xiang'an want to do when crossing the river at night. Once the news leaks out, the Danyang army in Chungu City will definitely take precautions. Chungu is the first city near the river in Danyang. The city has high walls and many defenders. Once it is prepared, it will be difficult to conquer it in one fell swoop.

Even more than that, other counties, towns and cities will also be vigilant in the future. If so, the effect of surprise will be greatly reduced, and Wang Zheng plans to attack Danyang and Wu counties within one month with lightning speed. Naturally, his plan was much more difficult.

Wang Xiong whispered: "The news has indeed leaked, but."

"General Wu was not alarmed, so he adjusted his plan at that time, ordered the siege to be launched immediately, and sent a letter to General Zang in Liyang to join him, and the two sides rushed to the city of Chungu together. The spring valley has been surrounded, and the water can't get through, avoiding further leaks of the news."

Wang Zheng felt relieved, but he still shook his head: "Wuhu is not far from Spring Valley, if it takes a long time, it's still hard to escape the leak."

"Mi Gong also thinks so, so let the last general come to report to the general immediately, what should we do next?"

"How else to deal with it?"

After thinking about it, Wang Zhengwei made a decision, "I will send an order to all the frontline departments to launch an offensive against Spring Valley and Stone City today. Within three days, the gates of these two places will be opened!"

"In addition, set up Mi Fang's flying pigeon to deliver a letter, informing Jiangdu's Gu Jian Department and Jizhou Army that the combat time will be advanced to noon today!"

Regardless of whether Gu Jian and the Jizhou army have crossed the river now, they will definitely arrive before noon.Shill them to mobilize in advance, and when the important generals of the commanding armies arrive, they will start the battle to capture Qu'a.

"Yes." Wang Xiong accepted the order awe-inspiringly, turned around and hurried away.

The two of them spoke in low voices just now, and the drums and music blared together, and the surrounding environment was extremely noisy.Therefore, no outsiders heard it. Xu Fang noticed that Wang Zheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he leaned over and asked in a low voice: "General, why is Wang Xiong here? It's the front line."

Wang Zheng said indifferently: "I met the enemy last night, and I ordered the siege battle to be launched in advance." While speaking, the vocal music was heard, and the footsteps were slow. Several groups of Yingying Yanyan had already walked out of the embassy, ​​and the several teams were surrounded by hundreds of people. , the one in the middle is wearing a dark red dress, with shoes upturned, his hair tied up in a bun and fixed with a hairpin. He also wears various ornaments such as beads and flowers on the bun.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no custom of covering the head with a red scarf, so the shy guests of the bride when she got married could see it directly. I can vaguely see them with peach blossoms on their faces, and their shy expressions, but they look more and more charming.

The bride has come out, all the companions should shout in unison, and then shouted again: "Bride, hurry up to get in the car!"

There is no such rule in this sentence, everyone is so lively, shouting a few times is just for fun, and even those who have read some books shouted loudly:
"When the peach blossoms, it burns its flowers. The son of the peach is returning home, and it is suitable for his family. The peach is young, and there is a truth. The son of the peach is returning, and it is suitable for his family. The peach is young, and it is Ye Zhenzhen. The son of Yugui , Yiqi Family".

When Wang Zheng welcomed his relatives, the front line of Xiang'an was at the base of Chungu City.

The soldiers quickly set up their camps, while Wu Sheng brought two or three of his own soldiers and rode up to a nearby earth mountain. He climbed up and looked far away.

"General, what should I do?"

The guard on the side whispered: "This Spring Valley is a big city. Seeing that the whole city is under martial law, if you have prepared well and lost the surprise, I am afraid it will be difficult to win in one battle as the general planned." "

Wang Zheng even used his own marriage as a cover. The purpose is not only for a spring valley, but also to conquer Danyang and Wujun at the lowest cost. After all, cold winter is not good for fighting, and the longer the time drags , the greater the loss.

In the end, there was an accident in front of the first city of Chungu, and the news leaked out. If this continues, even if the capture of Chungu takes too long, the general order will still not be completed, and the consequences will be serious.

"What is good?"

Facing the dim sunlight, Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant city for a long time, then said coldly: "The general said how many days does it take for us to capture Spring Valley?"

"Within three days."

"Then I will take it one day!"

Regardless of the inexplicable astonishment of the guards, Wu Sheng rushed down the earth mountain, returned to the barracks, summoned the three armies, and shouted with all the soldiers:
"You are all veterans, following the general for a long time, today is the general's wedding, are you happy? Are you happy?"

Thousands of people raised their guns high and shouted in unison: "I am happy! Of course I am happy!"

"Do you want to send a big gift to the general?"

"miss you!"

"The general wants us to take this city within three days. If we follow the order, is that still a congratulatory gift?"

Wu Sheng drew out his long knife, pointed at Chungu City and said word by word: "The general will have his bridal chamber tonight, then we must take down the city under the sunset, so this gift can be considered timely!"

As he spoke, he looked at the three armies and shouted angrily, "Brothers, do you think so?"

"Of course!"

When one person speaks out, thousands of people respond, and everyone is a veteran of the battlefield. Who knows how difficult it is to conquer a city in one day?

And this kind of tough battle, even with the bravery of the heavenly army, I am afraid that they will have to pay a lot of casualties.

But it is precisely because they are all old soldiers, not only most of them have entered the system, but everyone treats Wang Zheng like a god and sees them as the sons of Huang Tian, ​​so Wu Sheng's morale boosting can be said to be well used, even though he is going to die knowingly. , and everyone is generous to each other.

For a moment, the sound of "breaking the city" rang out from the mountains and valleys, and thousands of people boiled up, and their morale was extremely enthusiastic.
