Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 65 Candidates for the Western Expedition

Xiang Xun is not like the past.

In the past, he never brought personal guards and guards to the Shifu. He wore ordinary clothes. Today, he came here in official uniform. He also brought four armored personal soldiers and one officer in official uniform.

Xiang Xun was still the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Academy, and he also added the Jiedu envoy of the Zhen'an Army, and found several officials to help with things.

He is not like Shi Yanchao. Dad thinks that the scholars are useless. What he wants them to do in the war, he has to keep them for nothing. It is better to buy a few more good horses if you have the spare money.

As soon as Shi Congyun saw the situation, he understood that Xiang Xun was not here to brag and drink, but had something serious to talk about.

He stopped joking, sat down and said, "Is there something important to come to Uncle?"

Xiang Xun stroked his beard and laughed, "Brother Yun is really a good person. You know three points before a certain person sits down and speaks."

"Don't talk yet, get some wine, someone is thirsty."

Shi Congyun asked people to bring wine. In this era, the alcohol content was generally not high, and the generals drank it as a drink.

After drinking a large bowl, wiped the wine droplets from his beard, and exhaled to the head coach before opening his mouth: "A is here today to give you a big credit, you have to thank him."

Xiang Xunyi said that Shi Congyun understood better. The previous three points were scored five or five times.

There is no free lunch in the world, and Xiang Xun is not Shi Yanchao, but he is shrewd. In all likelihood, his credit has not come to fruition, and he is here to write a bad check.

It's like saying to someone, "I'll give you 500 million, but the money is not with me, it's in the bank, and you have to grab it."

Shi Congyun then asked, "What's the credit for Uncle, let's talk about it."

Xiang Xun consciously poured himself another large bowl of wine, and then said: "The official family is going to attack Shu, there may be no news out there, but it has been decided internally that this time a certain leader will lead the troops, as long as you and a certain go to Guanzhong. It’s not a great achievement to walk for a while.”

Shi Congyun heard such an expression.

But he was happy in his heart. According to the news he had inquired about for so many days, it should be the best to fight the Shu Kingdom. This kind of opportunity must be seized.

Now that the war is not active, it may be necessary to fight the Southern Tang Khitan in the future.If it wasn't Xiang Xun who led the soldiers, then he would be hard-pressed to even get a chance to play.

"Uncle can still order soldiers?" Shi Congyun asked curiously.

Xiang Xun nodded: "The official family is ready to use a certain leader to lead the troops, and it is naturally a certain commander, and then a certain official said that the official family will approve it."

"Then I will take the credit for this, thank you uncle!" Shi Congyun is also refreshing, there is nothing to be hypocritical at this time. If he wants to fight the Khitan, he may hesitate. If he wants to fight the Shu Kingdom, he should follow Xiang Xun. .

"Well, it's a bloody boy. You need to prepare more. You still need some secret deployment. Don't reveal the news. The army will set off around March." Xiang Xun came over and explained to him in a low voice.

Shi Congyun nodded in agreement.

The major events are explained in a few words, and then there are some anecdotes and gossips, which are much more interesting than the real business.

For example, Shi Congyun is puzzled why there are so many generals around the official family, such as Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Shi Yanchao, etc., and even Li Gu can lead the army to fight. This time, Xiang Xun will be sent to lead the war against Shu.

If he didn't dare to ask directly, it would offend people too much, but Xiang Xun didn't care.

After hearing this, Xiang Xun said bluntly, "It was Wang Puxianggong who recommended X, and X has a good personal relationship with him.

In addition, the official family is not in the state of Shu, and they still think about things in the south, so many people want to prepare for the war in the south, and a certain one is the most suitable. "

When Xiang Xun talked about the war in the south, Shi Congyun did not continue to ask, because now it is only the Southern Tang kingdom that is adjacent to Da Zhou in the south and can be called a war, so there is no need to ask.

Shi Congyun nodded and said again: "The imperial court banned the army to fight the main force?"

Xiang Xun shook his head: "There are also soldiers and horses in the town of Jiezhen.

The soldiers and horses of Fengxiangjie Town are one of them. The officials are going to let King Jing, the Duke of Baoguo, bring Fengxiang soldiers to fight. Moreover, a certain soldier is now the Jiedu of the Zhen'an Army, and the elite soldiers and horses of Zhen'an Town will also participate in the battle. "

Shi Congyun was unfamiliar with Fengxiang Jiedushi and Duke Baoguo Wangjing. He only knew that those who could make Jiedushi and Jiaguo Gong should be capable people. He knew the approximate territory of Fengxiang Jiedushi.

In other words, the officials wanted to let Feng Xiangbing, Zhenanbing and Daliang's forbidden army fight together.

"Also, when the time comes, I will temporarily give you peace, and it is impossible for you to take the soldiers of the inner hall to fight." Xiang Xun explained.

"Then my soldiers"

"It's customary to be able to bring it here." Xiang Xun understood what he was thinking, and gave him a positive answer directly.

Shi Congyun nodded, without much entanglement, the inner hall directly inspected the imperial city, and the emperor was squired. Of course, it was impossible for him to take him to fight the kingdom of Shu, but he did not know which army he would take with him.

But he was not worried, as long as the three hundred confidants and Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, Dong Zunhui, Pan Mei and others could accompany him, he would be able to command them wherever he went.

After chatting with Xiang Xun for a long time, before I knew it, the time was up, and Xiang Xun also said goodbye.

After dinner in the evening, he continued to ask Zhao Shijian to write words and sentences for him to write an article. The little girl was still puffed up and didn't talk to him.

Shi Congyun thought of a way to deal with it before he came. He looked up at the moon in the sky at a 45-degree angle, showed a sad expression, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I'm going to fight again. I'm afraid life or death will be uncertain if I go out this time."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, Gu turned to Zhao Xiaoniang's direction and said it.

After getting along for so many days, he also discovered Zhao Shijian's weakness, which is sentimentality.

Don't look at her pretending to be strong on the surface, never complaining, and she will silently grit her teeth and get things done even if she is bullied by him, but she is actually a sensitive person.

Poems such as "feeling the flowers and tears, and hating the birds are startling" are probably the most suitable for Zhao Shijian.

Sure enough, the little girl over there who hadn't spoken to him for several days raised her head when he heard him say so sadly.

Shi Congyun caught a glimpse and quickly continued to feel sad: "If the world is at peace, someone also wants to wait for the late spring, the spring clothes are ready, five or six crowns, six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, the wind is dancing, and singing and returning.

It's a pity that the world is not peaceful and the people are suffering. How can a warrior like a certain cherish his life and love his life? This is probably destined by God. "

The words were sentimental and generous, and he had just memorized half of the sentences from the "Analects of Confucius" in order to pretend.

Zhao Xiaoniang finally spoke up this time: "Are you really going to fight?"

Shi Congyun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes!"

"Where to?"

"This is a secret from the DPRK, I can't tell you, but the people over there are very powerful. I heard that one can beat dozens of people. I can't say that I can't come back. Alas," Shi Congyun shook his head and sighed again.

Zhao Shijian didn't want to be angry with him anymore, so he stood up and comforted him.

Shi Congyun pretended to be inspired again, nodded slowly, and resolved the Cold War crisis in a short while.

In the end, Zhao Shijian forgot about Shi Congyun's smashing of the stone inkstone that her grandfather left her, and even tried to comfort him and serve him attentively.

Shi Congyun was secretly delighted, a sentimental girl is easy to coax and deceive.

This also made him more and more determined to fight well, taking advantage of the idea of ​​​​making a great contribution to the soft persimmon of the State of Shu, otherwise how could he protect Zhao Xiaoniang and her family in the future, of course, the most important thing was his life.
