Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 7 Confessing the Aftermath
The next day, the spring breeze roared, the sky was cloudless, the sun in early spring was a little hot, and the skin was warm and comfortable, but in the warm sunlight, the army began to prepare anxiously.Life and death are boundless, and no one wants to enjoy the sunshine no matter how good it is.

For Shi Congyun, it was even more so. In a month, he had just become familiar with the world of Rongjin, the people here, the things here, and the rhythm of integrating into this place, and he was quickly pushed to another new beginning, a road with an uncertain future.

Fortunately, Shi Congyun died once, which is more open.

He kept reminding himself in his heart that this was an era when the average age was only in his early thirties.This time, life and death in the north are divided into five or five, and if you don’t want to die, you can’t help yourself. Can you come back and see if God will give you face, so if you can’t dominate your destiny, at least die more freely.

When he got up in the morning, he didn't go to the camp. After packing up some small items, he went to his house and smashed all the valuable things he had saved.

There are not many piles together, a pile of various treasures, the most valuable are a few kinds of finely broken gold and silver.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, in just a few decades, there were many countries and five dynasties.

The long time is more than ten years, and the short one is only four years. Most of them have issued their own coins in imitation of the Tang Dynasty, but they are not very effective and cannot be recognized by the people.

Therefore, the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" issued by the Tang Dynasty several decades ago is still popular among the people today, and because the Tang Dynasty disappeared decades ago, and no one minted money on a large scale, these coins have a relatively high value.

He originally wanted to hand over all the money to the aunt and the little niece, and let them "keep it for them" on their behalf, but it was actually a nicer way to explain the funeral. If he couldn't come back, he wouldn't waste it.

I never thought that the aunt and the little girl seemed to have something to say to the father, Shi Yanchao, and would not come out after entering the North Court for a long time.

Shi Congyun used his toes to figure out what they were doing.
After thinking about it for a while, he thought it might be better to give it to the servants in the family. If he died, he would do a good thing. If he came back, he would ask them to come back!

After walking a few places, he took the rest of the things to the third wing of the Westinghouse and pushed in the door. The little girl Zhao Shijian inside was startled and stood up in a panic.

Shi Congyun leaned over, pen and ink were placed on the clean potholes wooden table, the sunlight penetrated through the mottled paper window, just right on the table, and the elf-like particles in the beam were flying.

The paper was laid flat, and the two sides were carefully pressed with two clean and smooth papers, which were smooth feldspars picked up from the river.

Juanxiu's handwriting is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, some of the ink is very new, with a dampness, it was written by a little girl, and some are written like before.

Too bad he doesn't understand it at all.

A piece of paper is full of densely written boys, and there is almost no blank space. It can be seen that the little girl cherishes and saves.

The little girl didn't have that much money to buy paper, so she had to make the best use of a piece of paper. This piece of paper must have been written on for many days.

Shi Congyun thought of the joy when his family gritted his teeth and bought him the first set of colored pens when he was a child.

"Do you have any orders from your young master?" Zhao Shijian was very flustered, he hurriedly got up and stepped back, his delicate body was almost against the corner of the wall, and he lowered his head and said nervously.

Shi Congyun left the little girl with a small amount of property, and put the small wooden box in his hand on the table.

The time she came to this world was very short, and the little girl did the most for him.

He does laundry, cooks, puts on and removes his armor, and sometimes helps him feed his horses, and goes to the city with him to buy oil, salt, rice and vegetables.

Zhao Xiaoniang doesn't know how to dress up all day long. If you have money, you can buy some rouge gouache, like a girl. It's not easy for anyone in troubled times.

Shi Congyun could see that the little girl was actually very unskilled in doing these things. She must have never done these things before, but she did everything carefully.

He didn't know what Shi Congyun's life was like in the past, but in just one month, the people who warmed his heart the most were the aunt, the little girl, and Zhao Shijian.

The eldest is the care of blood thicker than water, and the little girl's concern is depended on. The little girl, Zhao Jin, is a timid person, and I heard that she used to be an official family, and her father was an official to Zaifu. Days, so always be careful when doing things and talking.

He is the eldest son of the Shi family, so Xiao Niang's concern for him also has a utilitarian gesture.

Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang are mostly like this.

Even Wang Zhong and others in the army.Shi Congyun is not stupid, he usually deals with them with a smile, but he does see these relationships clearly in his heart.

A personal soldier is the head, and he leads more than 100 elite soldiers. Why do you follow him every day? Isn't it Lu Qian who is next to Gao Yanei?

It's just that whether Lu Qian is a good person or a bad person, it doesn't depend on him whether he does good or bad, but on Gao Yanei. Gao Yanei needs Lu Qian to be able to do bad things.

And Shi Congyun needs Wang Zhong to have a sense of security.

Surrounded by hundreds of obedient and capable strong men, it always feels different in a strange and dangerous world.

He has no moral cleanliness, and he doesn't dislike this kind of attachment, and most people in the world are like this.

But among these various characters, Zhao Shijian, Miss Zhao, is the most different.

Shi Congyun, the disgraced young lady, likes and appreciates the most.

She won't please anyone, she won't please the hostess Gu Ying, she won't please the patriarch Shi Yanchao, and she won't please him, the young master Shi Congyun. .

When it comes to specific matters, if you are surviving in a difficult world, people like Xiao Niang and Wang Zhong are the majority of people in the world, maybe even himself. In order to survive, they can lower their dignity and attach themselves to others, and they have no backbone of their own.

In all likelihood, Zhao Shijian will not. She is very stubborn, but such people often end up bad.

Shi Congyun thought about it and thought that it might be considered the beauty of an adult.

The aunt and the little girl couldn't see it, so I gave it to Zhao Shijian, so I stayed in the west wing.

It can be seen that she is nervous and scared, and she puts down the wooden box in her hand with a smirk: "A certain expedition tomorrow, come to say goodbye, hehe..."

After clapping the ashes on his hands, he rubbed his hands to go forward, but the little girl was scared to stay in place.

Zhao Shijian suddenly retreated after reacting, leaning against the corner of the wall, staring at him, excitedly said: "You, don't come here, take your things, I won't sell them, or I will die in front of you!"

After he finished speaking, he was already tearful, but he couldn't hold back from falling. He looked around nervously with trembling all over, trying to find a chance to escape.

Shi Congyun is stunned, what are you doing?The script is wrong, shouldn't it be the little lady who was moved and grateful by him.

The intensity of the reaction was beyond his imagination, and he quickly raised his hands: "What are you doing?"

"Come here, I'll show you something good." Shi Congyun said, pointing to the small wooden box on the table. "Send it to you."

Zhao Shijian hurriedly shook his head, and the big tears couldn't help rolling down: "I don't want it! I'm ugly, I still smell bad, please let me go." Her voice trembled, and she looked extremely frightened. .

Shi Congyun only then reacted, she may have misunderstood, grass
He hurriedly stepped back to make room for safety.

As he said, he opened the wooden box to show her, revealing the coins and yellow and white things in a hurry, "A certain person is going to fight on the battlefield tomorrow, I'll tell you if I can come back, it's useless to keep these, I'll give it to you, I've worked hard for you on weekdays. ."

Zhao Xiaoniang was still ignorant, she was suspicious, and then quickly refused: "I won't be rewarded without merit, I can't ask for it."

"I have to let you take care of it for so many days. Someone is not an ungrateful person. You can take it. If you don't take it, it will be a waste if you hang up in Gaoping and can't come back." Shi Congyun reasoned.

"What's hanging? Is it hanging on a tree?" Zhao Xiaoniang asked with tears in her eyes.

"If you hang up, you will die." Shi Congyun looked at the good handwriting on the table and said temporarily:

"What a good calligraphy, in fact, I also wanted to learn to write when I was a child, but I don't have time to fight every day, I feel good when I see your calligraphy.

With this money, you can buy more paper, pen and ink, and you can write whatever you want in the future. How unpleasant it is to dig and search like this, I will be happy even if you have knowledge under the spring.

As for the extra dowry in the future, let Xiaoniang find a good family for you. "

"I still can't." The little girl hesitated.

Shi Congyun ignored her, turned against the wooden box and was about to leave, and stopped at the door to add, "It's best to find someone from Huzhou."

He remembered that in the end it was the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty, who ruled the world. Life in the Zhou Dynasty was better than in other places, such as Shu Kingdom, Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wuyue, and some wars were fought in the future.

The little girl watched him stop crying, and quietly raised her head to peek at his face.

Shi Congyun grinned, he actually wanted to cry, and it didn't feel good to explain the funeral.Habitually, he reached out and pinched the little girl's face, feeling a little sad and pitiful, "Alas, a silly girl who doesn't even know how to dress up, I hope you can live your life as you wish." Then he turned and left.

Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east, and the army assembled, ready to set off.

The rumbling horses' hooves can be heard from miles away, and the dust is soaring upwards, sweeping the sky south of the Yellow River.

The exact news has come out. The new official family, Guo Rongyu, went on a personal expedition. The ministers tried their best to persuade them. The official family compared them to Tang Taizong when they argued with them. They said that Tang Taizong Li Shimin also personally fought when he started a business. He can defeat the enemy like a mountain. .

The middle book ordered Feng Dao to refute, thinking that the official family was not comparable to Tang Taizong, nor was it Taishan, which made the official family furious.

In the end, the decision of the imperial expedition was decided, which surprised many people, and they didn't know whether to be surprised by the courage of the new official family or that he was ignorant.

Few people will make rash assessments before the outcome of the war, but one thing is certain, war is unavoidable.

Ordinary soldiers can't hear these news, but Shi Congyun can hear it by following Shi Yanchao's side.

Bianjing is very close to Zhengzhou, and the news came quickly.

By the end of February, the order to mobilize the Longjie army to cross the river had arrived.

The army assembled at the ferry crossing of the Yellow River, recruited hundreds of boats of various sizes from nearby villagers and merchants, and began to cross the river in a mighty manner, heading for the ferry to the north bank of the Yellow River. It took three and a half days to cross.

Even if they are elites, there are still a lot of things that every soldier has to bring.

The soldiers of the first three armies each weighed [-] to [-] jin in full armor, and the combined length of weapons and hatchets also weighed [-] to [-] jin.

In addition, there are rations, pottery pots, felts, leather water, hatchets, flint belts and other guys who eat, sleep, drink water and make fire.

If there are no pack animals, just carrying these things on a long journey can tire a person to death.

Fortunately, they are elites, and most ordinary soldiers have to bring these things themselves.

However, although their Longjie Army is a cavalry, their war horses are expensive, and they eat better than people before the war. They are reluctant to ride when they are on the road, not to mention the work that can easily hurt the horses such as carrying things.

At this time, the mules, old horses, and packhorses of the auxiliary soldiers were ready to contribute.

Shi Congyun, as a "Ya Nei", is more calm. He has a mule, a war horse, and the help of Wang Zhong, Shao Ji and other personal soldiers.

But even so it's tiring.

When we left, the road between Zhengxian Daying and the Yellow River Ferry was crowded with people on both sides.

However, it is not to welcome Master Wang, and there is no scene of military and civilian family, but the soldiers are about to go out and their relatives see off.

Guo Wei has blemishes, as well as the actions of a wise man. The purge of the Imperial Army is one of them. The military discipline of the Imperial Imperial Army in the Zhou Dynasty is much stricter than that of the Imperial Imperial Army in previous dynasties, but it is impossible for the people to trust that.

The aunt and the aunt also brought everyone in the family to see them off. Dad just nodded and didn't say much. Zhao Shijian kept talking, but he didn't speak, and quietly sent them away.

After the army crossed the river and settled down, news from the north continued to be spread from fast horses to Shi Yanchao's tent, and the situation became more and more tense.

Liu Min, the lord of the pseudo-Han state, led an army of more than [-] people, colluded with Yang Gun, the military commander of the Liao Kingdom's Wuding army, and went southward, from Jinyang to the southeast, passing through Tuanbai, and the army was hoarding Lianghouyi.

Afterwards, the forwards headed south and attacked the Hou Zhou defenders near Taiping Station, and continued south to besiege Luzhou. The Zhaoyi army's Jiedu envoy Li Yun was disadvantaged in the battle and retreated to defend the city.

The puppet Han and the Liaoning Allied Forces progressed smoothly all the way, and the soldiers were very prosperous.

The riverside camp stands quietly on the north side of the Yellow River. There is no turning back after crossing the river. The battle to the north has been doomed, and many people feel uneasy about this.

The officials from Bianliang had already arrived, and the officials decided to go on a personal expedition on the third day of the third lunar month, and they would cross the river on the fifth or sixth day of the third lunar month to join them.

Long Jiejun, as the elite guards and pro-military, must accompany the Chinese army's holy drive, and they are the first to fight hard.

At night, with the cool breeze, Shi Congyun and his soldiers sat around the fire and brag.

There are more than 300 relatives of the Shi family, all of whom followed Shi Yanchao in the southern and northern wars. They are well-equipped and skilled, and they will charge with Shi Yanchao when they go to the battlefield.

There are 300 people in three capitals. The first capital is Shi Congyun, the second capital is Wang Zhong, and the third capital is Shao Ji.

Shi Congyun has no air, sits around and brags with everyone, big men love to talk about women together, and it's time to brag again.

As he spoke, everyone sitting in a group looked at him. He was the youngest among the crowd. He went to the battlefield at the age of 15, which is not an exception but not many in this era.

The ancients said that he was only fourteen years old.

Shi Congyun is embarrassed, he has no achievements to brag about, this is his first time on the battlefield, or in other words, is he too young to die at the age of 14?
