Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 6 The Luqiu Family

At this point, war is inevitable, it's just a matter of how to fight it.

When he returned to the camp, there was already a lot of discussion in the army, and everyone's opinions were relatively unified. Many people believed that the new officials would send a general to fight against Liu Chong.

As for who leads the troops, some think it is the Jiedushi envoy Fu Yanqing of Hebei Tianxiong Army, some think it is Wang Yanchao, the Jieddu envoy of Hezhong, and some think it is Liu Ci, the Jieddu envoy of Heyang.
In the afternoon that night, Shi Yanchao summoned several members of the army to direct the discussion.

The main content is to let them restrain the soldiers, not to cause trouble, and to prepare for war. Shi Congyun has no seat on such occasions and has been standing behind his father.

When he came home for dinner, Shi Yanchao talked about this to his aunt and his wife, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was not as good as it used to be.

The aunt and the little niece were silent, with worried expressions on their faces, deliberately avoiding her eyes. Even the younger sister Shi Congmei blinked, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Shi Congyun reached out and touched her little head to show comfort, the room was very quiet.

If it was a peaceful era, with Shi Yanchao's status as an official, even if he made a mistake, his family would live in peace and prosperity, and it would be common for him to live a lifetime of wealth and honor.

But now it is different. Changing the emperor is like changing clothes. Basically, people take tea to cool off. The Shi family's mansion in Bianjing was taken over from a former official a few years ago.

If you meet a good person, there may be a way to survive. For example, Guo Wei, the emperor who just passed away, took over the property of Zhao Ying's mansion in the Jin Dynasty a few years ago, and then returned it benevolently to his descendants, but most people are not like that. People are a minority.

So no one is not afraid.

Shi Yanchao didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong, and said while eating, "I don't know who the officials will send to lead the troops this time."

"The official family is estimated to be recruited in person." Shi Congyun interrupted: "If the official family is someone who wants to do great things, they will not miss such an opportunity.

The official family has only succeeded the throne, and people are unstable, and there are many people who wait and see. If the battle is successful, many problems will be solved easily, and it will not be so time-consuming and laborious. "

Shi Yanchao glanced at him, nodding as if he didn't understand: "You speak like those courtiers, and Long Jiejun must be the forerunner anyway."

The next day, Shi Congyun went to the ferry as usual to maintain order.

Standing by the Yellow River, looking at the opposite bank from a distance, the shimmering river surface, the rippling sound of the waves, and the endless flow of ships.

For the first time the war was so close to him.

Several personal soldiers also talked about their own war memories, or how a former brother died tragically, or how their enemy died tragically under the knife.

And Wang Zhong talked the most, Shi Congyun couldn't help but kicked him. The dog must have seen that he was nervous and deliberately said it to scare him. How can anyone knock people's brains out of their mouths? Is he a fool!

Wang Zhong laughed and hurriedly dodged, "Brother Yun, don't worry, someone in the battle can protect you."

Shao Ji doesn't talk much, and looks like a master at first glance.

Standing on the bank of the Yellow River, blowing the cow and blowing the wind, someone came over soon after, as if thanking him. Shi Congyun was prepared to refuse as usual.

When I got closer, I realized that the people who came were quite different.

Dressed in a taupe book long gown, neatly dressed, about 30 years old, accompanied by two Kongwuli men in short jackets, they seem to be scholars.

In the distance, there is a team of twenty people waiting by the river, looking here from time to time, presumably they are accompanying family members, so they are not ordinary people.

There are not many powerful scholars these days.

"I met the owner of Xiaoxiang in Luqiu Boyu in Xialu Prefecture, and I took the liberty to express my thanks. I heard that the generals did not take anything, not accepting it at all, for the benefit of the people. I really admire Gao Fengliangjie. Please accept the old man's worship." When he opened his mouth, he used the registration number and told his details. He must have inquired.

Shi Congyun returned the salute, with great joy in his heart, having done good deeds for so many days, finally a sensible one came, and when he had the opportunity to pretend to be forced, he said righteously: "When I am guarding one side, I should think for the sake of the people and seek blessings for the people of the world. Well, it's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, old man, you don't need to spread it everywhere.

But I think the old man looks like a scholar? "

Luqiu Boyu nodded, "The owner of the small chamber has a good eye, and he is originally from Qi, and he passed down his family with poetry and books."

"People from Qi? People from Shandong, why did you come to Zhengzhou?"

"My brother was in Luzhou for the Zhaoyi Festival, and the thieves were about to arrive in Luzhou. He was worried that the city would be destroyed, so he led the family to move south to avoid disaster."

Shi Congyun nodded and understood. It turned out that his brother was an official under the Jiedushi of the Zhaoyi Army. The Khitan army from the Northern Han Dynasty was about to go south, so he asked him to take some of his family to the south across the Yellow River for refuge.

In this way, even the broken family in Luzhou city can continue.

Luqiu Boyu smiled a little embarrassedly: "The owner of the small compartment will not laugh at the cowardice of the old man."

"No, it's not easy for anyone in a difficult world, and isn't the old uncle still in the north?" Shi Congyun didn't think much about this question.

The Luqiu family was rather wiser. The elder brother continued to prepare for the deadly battle, and the younger brother took his family to Lamphun. No matter how the family continued, he did not neglect his duty.

"The owner of the cabin is not like an ordinary person."

Shi Congyun said a few more words to him, talking about the situation in the north and the changes in the enemy's situation.

This old man is more knowledgeable and thinks that this time the pseudo-han and Khitan sent troops to take advantage of the new emperor's succession to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and seek some benefits.

He also thinks so, Da Zhou is undoubtedly the strongest among the many separatist regimes, and has the most chance to dominate the world.

"Pseudo-han has suffered many losses in the competition with me in Da Zhou before, and now he dares to suddenly collude with the Khitan to go south. It is nothing more than seeing me succeeding the new emperor, thinking that there is an opportunity, such a speculative generation as long as the official family is determined to be defeated in one battle." Shi Congyun started to blow as he spoke. He dared to slap his chest and talk big, because he already knew that the Zhou Dynasty would win this battle, but he didn't know the details.

Luqiu Boyu chuckled, "The owner of the small chamber is arrogant." He didn't take it too seriously, after all, Shi Congyun was just a little kid.

After talking for a while, Shi Congyun also slowly understood from his words, Luqiu Zhongyu came to talk to him, I'm afraid it wasn't because he admired his high style and did things for the people.

Instead, it became clear that his father was the defense envoy of Zhengzhou, and he held the elite Longjie army of the imperial court. In the future, their family would settle in Zhengzhou again to establish a relationship and make a face.

After understanding it, Shi Congyun didn't speak with enthusiasm.

Depend on!I thought that my tiger body was shocked, and the high talk made the other party fall to the ground. I was convinced, and my heart was dark.After doing it for a long time, it was still aimed at his father's status.

After careful reflection, it seems that there is no such person in history named this name, and with no interest at all, Shi Congyun sent him away with a few casual greetings.

However, it was not all fruitless. From Luqiu Boyu's words, Shi Congyun heard that the situation in the north was already very dangerous.

After returning from the river that afternoon, some soldiers in the army told him that officials in red robes came from the east and had secret talks with Shi Yanchao in the Chinese army tent for half an hour.

Then Shi Yanchao summoned the commander of the whole army and ordered the army to be assembled. Two days later, the army set off to cross the Yellow River.

With the order, Zhengzhou, south of the Yellow River, suddenly boiled, and there was a vague sense of unease.

That night, Shi Yanchao asked him again if he wanted to stay.

Shi Yanchao's face was not at all soft, but Shi Congyun understood from his words, his father wanted him to stay, and Shi Congyun was the only male in the family.

"Father, I have to go this time." Shi Congyun understood the love that his old father was hard to say, but if he didn't go, Shi Yanchao would be dead.

In the end, Shi Yanchao had no choice but to nod, and then said, "There is no father and son in the army. Since we are going, I will arrange everything."

Shi Congyun agreed.
