Chapter 114, Getting married

A few days later, the good news from the Huaihe River has spread in Daliang.

Shi Congyun went out to eat soup cakes in the morning. The soup in the pot on the stall was steaming, and there was a milky white mist on the river. There were already a lot of people sitting around the table.

After sitting down and ordering something, you can hear a lot of discussions.

Most of the time, they are dressed in long gowns, well-behaved, and have a little money.

Such people are more satisfied with the current situation and the imperial court. They are at the feet of the emperor and are well-informed, but they have no chance to participate in any major national affairs. a feeling of.

"Li Xianggong defeated the Tang State in the south and killed more than 2 people. In my opinion, Tang Guozuo is not long..."

"No, no, you are wrong. I heard that there are more than 4 people. The king of Jinling in the Tang Dynasty was so frightened that he rolled out of bed early in the morning!"

"Thousands of miles away, do you know that people rolled off the bed?" Someone questioned the previous words.

"Why don't you know, the partition wall still has ears, and besides, there are people everywhere from Daliang to Jinling, and news can be passed on if someone has it." He said plausibly.

"It is said that there were three somersaults at that time, and the head fell first. This is called three worships to the Buddha and nine kowtows on the head. Sooner or later, the Tang Kingdom will surrender to our Great Zhou."

The people around nodded after hearing this, "That makes sense!"

"This really hits the point..."

The person who spoke raised his chin a little bit, and looked proudly at the top of his head.

He went on to say: "This year, Shi Congyun, who controls the Crane Army, is also very powerful. He beat the Shu Kingdom to the west and ran away. He won every battle and killed 10,000+ Shu troops!"

Shi Congyun almost spit out the soup in his mouth when he heard it, thinking that if I killed one hundred thousand Shu troops, Chengdu would be defeated, and he would have to fight Li Yangui there!

"I heard that the Lord of Houshu was so frightened that he rolled down from the high platform."

"Ah, get out! Why does the king like to get out..." Across the table, Shi Congyun was also booing.

"Oh, little brother, you don't understand. This is God's will. God asked them to worship us."

Shi Congyun thought that this guy could really brag, but others said he was very good, and he felt complacent: "Then Shi Congyun killed [-] people, and Mr. Li Gu killed [-]. Isn't he much better than Mr. Li!"

"This..." The man paused, facing the questioning and curious eyes of the people around him, he quickly avoided his face and continued: "Naturally, Xianggong is older than ordinary generals...... Congyun is naturally not as good as Li Xianggong.

It’s not that the generals can’t fight, it’s just that...not mature enough. Shi Congyun won the victory, but he fell into the trap of Shu’s beauties. I have a cousin who is in the army that conquered Shu. I know a lot of news .

Originally, Shi Congyun had killed one hundred thousand Shu troops. There was no one in Shu who was not afraid, so he could take the opportunity to fight in Chengdu, but because the lord of Shu sent him some beauties from Shu, and he only cared about enjoying himself, he hastily withdrew his troops .

I heard that the lord of the Kingdom of Shu is ready to send out his concubine, Mrs. Huarui, if not, and she is the number one beauty in the Kingdom of Shu! "

"Oh!" Everyone nodded with their original expressions.

"So it is Shi Congyun who is great, but he is too young to compare with Li Xianggong."

"This statement makes sense!"

"Listening to Jun's words, the doubts in my heart were immediately resolved!"

"Young people can't be lecherous, and they will definitely have a bright future if they can change in the future..."

"A few women are better than a hundred thousand troops."

"......"

Shi Congyun listened beside him, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. If I accept it, you can just say it, the key is that he didn't want it!

What's more, Mrs. Huarui doesn't have one, so I feel very bad.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the news is well-informed, and the enthusiasm of the people to participate in and discuss politics is very high. Everyone thinks that they are the masters of the Great Zhou, but the information deviation is too great...

Shi Congyun shook his head, wondering what the legendary lady Huarui, the most beautiful woman in Houshu, would be like.

He remembered that Mrs. Huarui in history was also a strange woman. She was born in a brothel and was favored by Meng Chang. Later, Zhao Kuangyin also got along with her very well. She should be a woman who understands men very well, caring and not annoying.

But in his heart, he was more curious.

Most men are mean.

Many times it is not emotional, but just wants to try.

Shi Congyun is also unavoidable, he admits his evil in his heart, he doesn't think he can have a good relationship with someone like Mrs. Huarui, after all, his energy is limited.

But if given the chance, he definitely wants to try it.

The reputation of being the most beautiful woman in the Shu Kingdom is enough to make him curious, but if he wants to be emotionally involved, he doesn't want to, one at home is enough.

The days that followed were very easy. He just came back from the battle in Guanzhong, and the Privy Council gave him a holiday, so that he could have a good year without having to make troubles.

The days returned to the tranquility of the past, and Zhao Shijian still waited on him carefully, but now he had to wait on him at night.

Shi Congyun moved his bedding to Zhao Shijian's room, and stayed there every day, because he was sixteen or seventeen years old and had plenty of energy.

But it's not all idle.

First, write the battle report, and submit the detailed description of the battle in the west to the Privy Council, and then to the official case.

He doesn't need to worry about these things, he just needs to dictate, and Zhao Shijian will naturally compose words and sentences for him, and write them into memorials.

The other thing is to go to the Privy Council to find the Tujing (map) along the Huaihe River, and then make some supplements according to my own memory, and then go to the West Court to discuss and study the war with Luqiu Zhongqing.

In the past two years, after experiencing so much, Shi Congyun felt more and more that he could not sit still, or take one step at a time, he had to look forward and plan ahead.

Especially after having a relationship with Zhao Shijian and confirming their relationship, that feeling became stronger.

In the past, he always thought about taking one step at a time, and at worst, he would die, but now he thinks completely differently...

He is not alone, he still has Zhao Shijian and their future children, so he can't think about things like that anymore, if there is an emergency, it is no longer his business alone.

Maybe it's a sense of family responsibility.

People often say that getting a family and starting a business is the first thing to do. It does not mean that getting a family will be easy, but that after getting a family, people will have a burden and a sense of responsibility.

On the night of the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Congyun carefully looked at the map he had completed along the Huaihe River, and with Zhao Xiaoniang in his arms, his eyes gradually became firmer, "Zhao Shijian, for you and our future children, I dare not fool around anymore .”

Zhao Shijian didn't speak, but quietly leaned against his chest.

Outside the window is the bright snow field. The winter in Daliang is the same every year, but for Shi Congyun, the winter in Daliang this year is very different. After this year, the next spring will be a new year.

The new year should have a new look, and so should people, he thought to himself.

Chapter 115: Different people, Shi Congyun

The New Year's Palace was very lively, many people came to pay New Year's greetings, Gao Huaide, Dong Zunhui, Wang Shenqi, Zhao Kuangyin, Pan Mei, Luo Yanhuan and so on.

Shao Ji and Wang Zhongshi Congyun directly asked them to bring their families over to celebrate the New Year with them at the residence.

Shao Ji's family was originally a peasant household, but the family members were later killed when the Khitans went south to plunder them.

Wang Zhongze was originally a war orphan. He couldn't even tell who his parents were. It was a miracle that he was able to grow up alive, and there are many such people in Hebei today.

.......

Years later, many things began to go on the right track, and Shi Congyun's rest time was over.

The Privy Council sent documents and asked him to go back and order Maoshangzhi.

The commanders and envoys control the left side of the crane.

The Crane Control Army has a total of more than 4 people and is one of the four main armies of the Zhou Dynasty.

Long Jie, Tiger Jie; iron cavalry, control crane.

There are more than 4 people controlling cranes, 2000 in the left wing, and ten armies, each with more than 400 people, and each army has five battalions. Each battalion is full of 100 people, and the actual number is more than [-]; , each has [-] people, but many of them are not full.

The imperial army has only been rectified and abolished by the government, and it has been fighting all year round. It is normal to be dissatisfied with the establishment.

After being purged by his father Shi Yanchao, the Crane Control Army also transferred many veterans and backbones from Long Jie and Hu Jie, and he knew many of them.

The Crane Control Army camp is in the north of the city, and it takes six or seven miles to get out of Fengqiu Gate.

The large camp of 2 people is not a joke. The camp is at the foot of a gentle slope, and on the west side there is a tributary of the Yellow River to support the military water.

The entire camp is about five or six li long from the river in the west to a peach forest in the east. The surrounding area is surrounded by ditches and trenches, full of sharp and oblique wooden stakes, and there are three feet every one hundred meters. What a tower.

Because it is a long-term station, there are many permanent buildings in the middle of the camp. There are hundreds of houses with earth and stone structures, not all of them are tents.

Shi Congyun led Luqiu Zhongqing and a dozen or so armed soldiers into the camp from the west, and walked along the road to the camp of the Chinese army, attracting many eyes.

The soldiers in the left wing of the Crane Control Army had heard the news that Shi Congyun, who had won the battle in the west, was their new owner, but they had never seen the real person.

Shi Congyun did not gather the whole army this time, and it is not so easy to gather more than 2 people.

It was just an order to summon ten commanders of the capital to meet in the big tent of the Chinese army.

......

Because of his contribution in the war against Shu, Shao Ji was the Marquis of Yu who controlled the left side of the crane, and Wang Zhong, Luo Yanhuan, Dong Zunhui and others were all commanders.

They had been in the Crane Control Army a few days earlier and got acquainted with the soldiers under them.

Today I heard that Shi Congyun was coming, so they all gathered early in the Chinese army tent and waited.

"When Brother Yun comes later, let's persuade him to fight for it, and let's go to the south to earn some credit." Luo Yanhuan said to everyone.

Dong Zunhui pulled up the low stool and sat down: "Do you think that someone doesn't want to? You all know Brother Yun's temper. He is good at everything, but saves his life to avoid trouble. He will definitely not rush to get ahead in such things.

It's really a pity, if someone has that kind of ability, he would like to go. "

Wang Zhong quickly defended: "What pity for life, brother Yun is pity for the lives of his own brothers, you know what!"

"Of course life is important, but wealth and fame are also important." Luo Yanhuan said.

"It's useless for you to talk about it, Brother Yun is the only one who can do it." Dong Zunhui waved his hand, "Let's try to persuade Brother Yun more."

The silent Shao Ji looked around at the crowd and said, "Brother Yun has the final say on important matters, what you say doesn't count."

Several people wisely shut up, because no one was Shao Ji's opponent.

Shao Ji took out Wang Luan, the great general of Later Shu, in Huanghua Valley. Everyone respected him, even Dong Zunhui, who was a master, would only quarrel with Wang Zhong, but he didn't dare to fight with Shao Ji.

The remaining commanders were all commanders under the original control crane left wing, and they didn't speak much at this time.

After a while, footsteps came from outside the tent, and Shi Congyun of A opened the blanket and came in, followed by a middle-aged scribe.

Everyone hurriedly surrounded him and greeted him enthusiastically, and a large group of people moved around him.

But how many people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

On the contrary, Shi Congyun raised his hand, and then said neatly: "Everyone, take your seats, I have something to say."

Everyone hurried back to their seats.

It was seen that Brother Yun above had lost the playfulness of the past, and seemed to have something else.

"This is your Shangguan, please teach me more in the future!"

After a short speech, he introduced the scribes around him: "This is a certain official, Qiu Zhongqing, from Shandong, and I will work with you in the future. I hope you can work hard and don't be sloppy."

The scribe bowed politely, and everyone nodded.

Luo Yanhuan couldn't help it, and just about to stand up, Brother Yun over there had already said: "The officials transferred me back from the western front, so I definitely didn't come back to eat.

The battle in the south has now begun, and it will definitely not be over for a while. The opportunity for us to make contributions has also come, and a man should not be timid.

You give me a good training and boost morale, I will ask the officials and the Privy Council for orders, sooner or later we will have to fight the Tang army! "

Originally, the veterans who controlled the left side of the crane listened and even promised to agree, but the few people who came in with Shi Congyun were a little confused, and looked at each other in disbelief. Is this still the original Brother Yun?

.......

In the afternoon, Shi Congyun returned home from the camp in the left chamber of Konghe, thinking hard all the way how to talk to the officials or the lord of the Privy Council.

After dinner, when he was about to leave, his father reminded him: "Now you are the envoy to control the left side of the crane, and you have to go to court early in the future. When the time comes, you should dress decently, just go with XX, and don't talk nonsense while standing there."

Only then did Shi Congyun realize it, yes!

He is now the Commander of the Control Crane Left Chamber, and he is already qualified to meet the officials in court!

Then why is he still thinking hard, can't he finally talk to the officials!

Now he finally understood why it was very important and rare to be able to talk to officials as Zhao Shijian said before.

How much he paid for such an opportunity!In Gaoping, in Fengzhou, after fighting desperately for two years in wind and rain, I finally had such an opportunity!

In the past, when he wanted to say a word, he had no chance to speak, so he had to be conveyed by others.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Congyun suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. Lao Tzu was finally qualified to go to court again, and finally he was able to talk to officials!
