The son crosses every night

Every day the country has no master, the situation is unstable.

The barbarians harassed the border, the imperial capital was in civil turmoil, and people on the border were also in panic. War seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Tang Hua had lunch with his elder brother this day, and after eating only half a bowl, he couldn't eat any more. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, put his hands on his knees and looked at his elder brother, "Brother."

"Huh?" Gu Tangyu looked up at him, "The food is not to your liking? Let them make another one."

"It's not that it doesn't suit your appetite, it's that you're not in the mood and can't eat." Tang Hua saw his elder brother and sighed, "Brother, in the current situation, can we wait until next month's food and grass?"

"Isn't there me? What are you worried about?"

"You can't put everything on you alone." Tang Hua lowered his voice, "Brother, tell me, have you received any news recently? Will the food and grass for next month be delivered in time? It's going to get messy here, if not, let's invest in buying a batch of grain and grass first."

Gu Tangyu rarely refused, but asked: "How much silver do you have now?"

Tang Hua immediately said quickly: "Hold it in my hand, there are 11 silver notes that can be exchanged for silver taels immediately, and I also brought 5000 taels of gold and gems of various colors with me. "

"Since you have money on hand, let's prepare it first. It's my elder brother's loan to you." Gu Tangyu said: "There are nearly a million catties of millet in the warehouse, and hundreds of thousands of catties of radish and cabbage in the nearby field. It is almost enough for a person to prepare 20 catties."

Tang Hua responded immediately, "Yes, then I will let Meng Cunrui contact you."

There is no shortage of merchants at any time, even when the war breaks out, there are still people who want to make a fortune by taking advantage of this business opportunity.

After receiving the errand, Meng Cunrui smiled and said to Tang Hua: "Second son, don't worry. I, Lao Meng, don't know anything about Siji Town. I guarantee you can buy good and cheap grain."

"Then I'll leave it to you this time." Tang Hua lowered his voice, "It's not a good idea to say anything about the grain purchase, you keep it secret from your subordinates."

Meng Cunrui solemnly agreed.

As Tanghua's deputy, Meng Cunrui knew Siji Town better than Tanghua expected.

In less than three days, he contacted the president of the Ningbei Chamber of Commerce. The grain sales in Siji Town and nearby areas were all concentrated in the hands of the Ningbei Chamber of Commerce. If you want to buy grain, you have to buy from them.

20 catties of grain is a big business, Meng Cunrui came to quote, "Young Master, we lowered the price to 480 Wen a stone grain."

The market value of one stone of grain is 120 catties, 480 Wen per stone, and the total is four Wen per catty of millet.

"Have you found out clearly? Is this grain new or old? Where did it come from? It cost about one stone when they received it."

"This..." Meng Cunrui wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This subordinate has not found out yet."

Tang Hua said: "Go and inquire, see if there are other shops nearby that sell grain, what is the price, or is there any other business that can eat so much grain besides us."

Meng Cunrui hurriedly took orders and left.

After half a day, he hurried over to reply, "These grains are all old grains, and they should have been harvested in the pass more than 80 miles away last year, and the price was two cents and five cents a stone."

Tang Hua knocked on the chair, "What about the other businessmen? Are there?"

Meng Cunrui shook his head, "This is the only family, and his family is the only one."

"No wonder." Tang Hua asked, "Then besides us, do they have other big clients?"

"No, they opened a grain store in the town to sell."

Tang Hua sneered, "Where did you spend so much? You don't know how many people we have here, not to mention that many people have a little land in their hometowns, so they don't need to go out to buy food. I think they will be secretly transported to Beihu went."

Meng Cunrui also knew in his heart that this was probably the case, but they had only come here not long ago, and the local branches and leaves had not been sorted out, so he couldn't say much about it.

Tang Hua said: "You report this matter to my elder brother, and you can investigate."

"Yes."

These are people who have been doing business on the border for a long time, one or two are very cunning, and Gu Tangyu didn't find anything in the end.

Tanghua had some predictions in his heart, but he didn't say anything, so he asked Meng Cunrui to talk to them, "Tell them that the old grain at four pennies a catty is too expensive, and that four is a homonym for death, which is unlucky. Ask them if the literati sell it." If you don’t want to sell it, go back and buy it in the pass. This year’s summer grain has just arrived, and it shouldn’t be a problem to buy a large amount of new grain for three pennies per catty.”

Meng Cunrui responded and went to talk again. This time he successfully bought 20 catties of grain at a price of three pennies per catty, and the people from Ningbei Chamber of Commerce gave an extra five thousand gold to comfort the soldiers.

After Tanghua dealt with these matters, he didn't take it to heart. He asked people to buy cloth and salt, and stocked up a batch of meat.

I don't know when, Gu Tangyu has handed over all the internal affairs of the general to him.

Tang Hua is careful in doing things, and he was the first to forge sabers. He came to be the grain officer, and everyone can admire him.

The news of the emperor's death officially came half a month later. At the same time, the news of the eldest prince's succession, the second prince's absconding, and the imprisonment of the fourth prince also came.

Tang Hua had received the news a long time ago, but when he actually heard it, he couldn't help but feel sad. That night, he took his elder brother to drink a stuffy drink, and he also sacrificed to his uncle emperor in the frontier.

The emperor died, and the world was destroyed.

The white cotton cloth that Tanghua had bought earlier was cut into strips and tied on everyone's head.

The situation is so hot that Tanghua can often hear the news of the invasion of foreign enemies on the border.

From north to south, from west to east, many small countries around seemed to have formed an alliance, and suddenly launched attacks one after another.

Gu Tangyu sneered: "It's not necessarily an alliance, it's just that I, Dasheng, is caught in a war, and my ambition is not to give up, and I just want to step in and get a share of the pie."

"Brother, what shall we do, just wait here?"

"Wait!" Gu Tangyu shouted loudly, "I am a man of Dasheng, I must guard the gate of the country."

Whether the war is far or near, the situation has become so tense that Tang Hua still has time to go to the class.

Ruan Shijie and the others knew what was going on here, and they had no other way to help him except to sigh.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

It's also getting cold here for Zhanghua and the others. Every morning when they wake up, there is thick frost.

They are here with [-] soldiers. Tanghua originally thought that Beihu would not dare to fight over, but unexpectedly, on the day he thought it was the most impossible to fight over, Beihu suddenly came with [-] soldiers and attacked by surprise. come over.

Gu Tangyu has been in the frontier for more than ten years. He is calm and experienced in using soldiers. This small group of soldiers' troubles was easily solved by him.

In the afternoon of that day, he received news that Beihu's [-] soldiers and horses bypassed him and attacked Dasheng from another line of defense.

That is exactly where King Jingning and the others are guarding. If the news is true, King Jingning and the others will face the enemy head-on.

"Brother!" Tang Hua's mind buzzed, and the two brothers looked at each other, knowing what this meant.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses will have no advantage against the one hundred thousand enemy troops who are prepared.

"The whole army obeys the order, keep five thousand here, and the remaining 5000 will follow me to help!"

The general of a camp looked over, "General! There are 30 soldiers and horses in Beihu, and there are [-] left behind. If we leave, how about Beihu people attacking from behind?"

"If they dare to come out in full force, I will turn around and go deep into their royal court!" Gu Tangyu clenched his teeth and then loosened, loosened and clenched again, "Time waits for no one, chase after!"

All the generals went to order soldiers and generals.

Tang Hua hurriedly followed behind his elder brother and said, "Brother, I will go with you."

Gu Tangyu nodded, "Success, go and change your clothes."

Tang Hua hurriedly said: "I know, you are too, brother, don't forget the bulletproof vest."

Gu Tangyu is usually under strict control, and now the army is going out, and it takes only half an hour to finish it.

The front has sent scouts out to inquire about the news before and after.

When Tang Hua returned to the house to change clothes, he looked at the door on the wall and felt a war between heaven and man.

Ye Zhi was waiting for him at the door with the knife in his arms, and said, "If you are worried, you might as well open the door and talk to him, it won't take much time anyway."

Zhang Huazhong showed signs of struggle, and he shook his head, "Forget it, it's fine if I don't say anything, but he will be even more worried if I say so. If I'm free, I'll go there at night."

Ye Zhi said: "Then let's go, don't waste time."

Tang Hua tied the dagger around his waist, took the saber, and looked back at the door behind him again, "Let's go!"

Tang Hua followed the army during the day, and went back to explain to Ruan Shi when he had time at night.

He is not a combatant, he has been in the logistics, and Ye Zhi is protecting him tightly. Even though he has participated in the battle, he has no wounds on his body.

On Ruan Shijie's side, he didn't dare to say that the war had already started. On his own side, they didn't find their father. The Hu army broke up and disappeared.

Gu Tangyu and Tanghua were worried, but now they couldn't send a large number of people to look for them. After searching for a few days, they couldn't find them, and they didn't know where their father had retreated.

Tang Hua was anxious and guilty. He was under a lot of pressure for a while, and lost several kilograms.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

Gu Tangyu and his men kept chasing after Beihu, while Beihu's people approached Dasheng Imperial City like a broken bamboo.

The two sides have clashed several times, each winning and losing.

Tanghua thought that they would be caught in a protracted war for a period of time, but at this time, they received news that the new emperor had abandoned the capital and fled, and killed two, three, four or three princes before fleeing. Fearing that they would be ordered in danger, they would be dressed in yellow robes.

When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

That night, Tang Hua was dragged by his elder brother, and had a dull drink in the army.

The soldiers fought to the death on the frontier, and they were still very confident that they could defend the imperial city, but the lord of the world who was waiting for help ran away.

This incident actually happened in their Dasheng dynasty.

There was no good wine during the war, but it was brewed by the villagers, mixed with water and sold, and the wine was served with dried radish.

Tanghua accompanied his elder brother to drink one cup after another of dull wine. He also had mixed feelings in his heart and was very angry. He was ready to serve the king in his heart, but he never thought that his elder brother would be so decisive when he was decisive.

After drinking, Gu Tangyu, who was half drunk, ordered the remnant army to be gathered up, and continued to go south to drive out the Tartars and restore Dasheng.

As for the original eldest prince, Gu Tangyu no longer cares about the current new emperor.

This fight has lasted for half a year, and Gu Tangyu has more and more people under his command, from the initial 26 to 10. It is difficult for Tanghua to follow behind and go to Ruan Shijie's place for class every day. In Ye Zhi's With the cooperation, I went out to the toilet and opened the door to come back here to check whether there is any military situation during the four [-]-minute breaks.

He made a bad start, he didn't confess to Ruan Shijie at the first time, and he didn't have the chance to confess later.

In the midst of this entanglement, Tanghua kept it a secret until Gu Tangyu's army reached the root of the imperial city, smashed Beihu and other barbarian troops from several countries, and was about to ascend the throne, so Ruan Shijie stopped him.

"You haven't been quite right recently, have something to hide from me?"
