Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1323 Aftermath
After his father's death, Li Cunxu's mood was very low.But after a few months, all kinds of sadness gradually faded, and he felt bored again.

Especially in the past few days, his elder brother Li Luoluo invited a group of monks to his home to perform rituals, which annoyed him even more.

"Your father has committed a serious crime, and you are not the only one to do it. You must have the mighty power of monks from the ten directions..."

"It is still necessary to make offerings to the great virtues of the ten directions."

The monks kept talking, and Li Cunxu was so angry that he almost raised his knife to ask these bald donkeys, can your "power of the monks of the ten directions" stop my knife?

But he held back and went out quietly, not wanting to be so angry anymore.

People come and go on the street, and the tranquility of the past has been restored.Li Cunxu even saw many sergeants wandering around. Judging by their attire, they should be members of the Tielin Army.

These warriors looked very proud, maybe they thought they were the conquerors of Jinyang.

The warriors of the Iron Forest Army were fairly well-behaved, they paid for their meals, they didn't take women into captivity, and they didn't beat people—at least he didn't hear about it.

The people in each square were quite afraid at first.After all, in the last years of Qianfu, they had had enough of the chaos of soldiers and horses from various towns in Henan converging in Jinyang.But after a period of contact, I found that the military discipline of these soldiers was not bad, and they spent money lavishly, which immediately eliminated a lot of doubts.

Li Cunxu drank another bowl of wine.

"Ha ha!"

"Zhang Wanjin miscalculated. He thought that if he raised his arms, everyone in Hedong would respond, but Shao——today is too old-fashioned. In the name of mourning, he used righteousness to suppress people, so that most warriors would not rebel. This funeral is In five months, no matter how much rebellion there is, it will be suppressed."

But this is also a good thing.It's better to become a forbidden army than to continue to be a lonely ghost, right?
It was the beginning of August, and the reorganization of the Youguo Army had come to an end.

As the tenth forbidden army, they will drive northward in a few days - Li Keyong's funeral is about to expire, and the day of his burial is not far away. Go to Daizhou.

"The battlefield is ruthless."

"Khitan? Didn't they attack Huainan?" Kong Qing was stunned and asked.

There was a clatter of horseshoes in the street.

In the eyes of warriors, becoming an official in the court is "retirement", and there is nothing wrong with it.

"It's going to be fifty today, isn't it..."

In fact, this is also normal.The feudal town has been separated for 150 years, can it be done for another 150 years?

Li Cunxu also picked up the wine glass, paused for a while, and then drank it down in one gulp, as if respecting Wang Rong.

Li Cunxu took another sip of the stuffy wine.

stop!stop!stop!Li Cunxu drank the last bowl of wine, shook his hands and left, and staggered out of the wine shop.

The man smiled, ordered the shopkeeper to serve him wine and food, and said, "I'm also hearing the story, so I can't guarantee it's true. Zhang Wanjin knew that he would die if he defended himself, so he led his army to break through at night, was injured by arrows, and fell off his horse. The general of the Kelan Army He was captured and brought before Zhou Dewei. Wan Jin burst into tears, not begging for mercy, but a speedy death. Dewei accompanied him to drink a cup of wine, and beheaded him at the gate of the city."

His lord, Yao Ji, went to pay a visit to Chen Shilang. For the affairs of central Guizhou, whether he would come back in a while, he had plenty of time to relax.

If you can only choose one of politics and martial arts, it must be the latter, without any doubt.

Li Cunxu looked at it for a while, and he knew in his heart: Hedong and Xiaxia may have accepted the fact that they are occupied.

"This is really... the last Jiedushi in the Northland also died. Wang Rong's qualifications are actually quite old, and he was in the same batch as the saint, so he just died..."

Ding Hui will of course follow suit.

"How did you die?"

"Haha, you are fifty years old, and you still have so many wives and concubines?"

Liang and Jin also received a lot of money from him.No one dislikes the money-spreading boy.

"Hey, hearing what you said, why do I feel sad when the rabbit dies and the fox. In the future, Master Wang will go south, what should I do?"

If you can't go to He's house, you can also go to An Yuanxin's mansion.Chen Cheng, the servant of Zhongshu, lives there, and he is also full of people.

If you don't know how to manage politics, you can choose staff who know how to manage politics, and let them help with civil affairs.But the army cannot let others take care of it for you.

In short, we are scattered all over the place, and we don't know when we will meet next time.

"Is there only Zhang Wanjin left now?"

"This... how could it commit suicide? Is there no one guarding it?"

This is life, there is no way.

The man who just sat down looked stunned.But I didn't think much about it, and continued to eat, drink and chat.

Wang Rong can also be a man himself.

"What's so mysterious about it? Some people say that, let me listen to it and tell you."

Zhou Yangwu is actually a kind person, alas.

"In the Chinese New Year, you may have to fight Khitan. If you are determined to serve the court with peace of mind, then sell your strength." Ding Hui warned: "This is one of the few opportunities to gain military merit."

Zhang Wanjin should be dead, and Luzhou has also been conquered.The north of the Huai River is now speaking with one voice, for the first time in 50 and [-] years.

"Hey!" He entered a restaurant and ordered a few dishes at random.

His origin cannot be changed.Even if he is already a son-in-law, it still cannot change the fact that he was born in Hedong.Seeing Jin people killing each other like this, I was naturally unhappy.

"Zhang Wan has surrendered?"

The restaurant is overcrowded, and most of them speak with foreign accents.Judging by their attire, they seem to be followers of envoys from other states.

It was rumored that Chen Shilang received more than a dozen carts of gifts, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

"What? Luzhou is gone?"

"You tease Zhou Dewei again, what can you do with him?" A person came in from the wine shop, speaking with a Jianghan accent, and he looked around, then went straight to Li Cunxu and sat down, turned his head and laughed at the other group of people Said: "I just went north from Tianjingguan. When I passed Luzhou, I saw that the flag of the city had been changed."

"It doesn't matter whether he is true or not. But Zhang Wanjin is really impossible to live. The saint hasn't comforted him for so long, so he obviously wants him to die."

"Great victory! Luzhou's recovery! Great victory! Luzhou's recovery!" the knight shouted loudly holding Lubu high.

Being unable to suppress the soldiers below is really the biggest pain point for every superior since the difficulties.

"I heard that Wang Rong is dead."

The heir may not be able to govern, but he must be able to suppress the warrior, which is the most important thing.

Later, when Hebei was in turmoil, Wang Rong also tried his best to help other feudal towns, fighting to the last moment—whether willingly or unwillingly.

Some of them went to Shanzhou, some to Puzhou, some to Heyang, some to Henan Prefecture...

"I committed suicide on the way to Jinyang."

"It won't be easy for a few years. The sons are useless and can't suppress those soldiers, why bother?" Ding Hui smiled and said: "Don't think about it. Zhang Wanjin is dead, Luzhou Kefu. Today there is another news that all the Qiang chieftains in Die and Dang prefectures have surrendered, and the imperial court has newly established these two prefectures in Longyou Dao. Even the Qiang people are not making trouble, so why are we making trouble?"

"This—I would do the same thing if I were to."

All the diners laughed and laughed again, eating large pieces of meat and drinking in large bowls.Compared with Zhenzhou and Luzhou, which had just fallen, Jinyang is like a paradise.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't you just resign?"

"Actually, there are quite a few people who responded. Shi Shaoyong, Yang Yuanhan, An Renshu, An Yuanxin, and even a few who can't be named, Lanshi, Zelu, Taiyuan, Shuozhou, they are against everywhere, but still The situation is lonely and lonely, and it has been calmed down one after another."

"Luzhou is also a strong city, and the Yellow Armored Army in front of the hall is not a weak army. How did they lose?"

"Zhou Dewei hit his luck this time. First kill An Renshu, governor of Shizhou, and then destroy Shi Shaoyong's rebellious army, and then besiege Luzhou Zhang Wanjin. After all these great achievements, the future is bright."

"So fast? Could it be that you are appeasing?"

He didn't have a bad impression of this person, and he could even say that he had a good impression.

He believed eight or nine percent of what the man said just now.

Ding Hui was very attentive and made great efforts to accompany the new generals of the Youguo Army all the way.Because of this, the whole adaptation process was very smooth, without any trouble.

But he really didn't think much of his lord's mission.If you want to annex Guizhou and let Zhao Kuangming be the governor, the court will probably not allow it.Instead of doing that, it is better to continue to attack Lei Yanwei and Lei Yangong brothers, and completely flatten Langzhou.

Subconsciously touched his waist, fortunately, he brought money.

"There are more than a dozen wives and concubines in the family, who have resigned from the official position, how can they afford it?"

The diners chatted non-stop while feasting.

The embarrassing thing is that it was given by his wife. He has no official position and no salary—no, the consort is also an official. Why hasn't he received a salary yet?There seems to be a problem.

There was a burst of exclamation in the restaurant, Luzhou was really conquered!
******
In a mansion opposite the restaurant, Ding Hui had just sent away a group of old brothers.

"Marshal..." Kong Qing was the last to leave, looked back at him, and said, "Is that how you really retired?"

"Maybe he tacitly allowed him to commit suicide."

"It's as if you saw it in person, isn't it too mysterious?"

He is Taichangqing, this matter is jointly organized by Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, and it belongs to the most important political event in Hedong this year—yes, it is a political event.

"Shut up and drink."

"In the past Jin people praised Zhou Dewei a lot, but now they revil him more. For the sake of wealth, he also punished the old brothers to death."

The "envoys" are officials and should be moving around.Officials in the He residence kept coming in and out all day long, and they all lined up to report the situation in other states to the saint.

Li Kuangwei helped him, and Wang Rong built a new house for him in Zhenzhou, and sent his concubine to serve him as his father.

"There are not enough people here, so we won't attack Huainan." Ding Hui shook his head and said, "Besides, you don't even look at who is going south. The court did not order the Pinglu Army, Baoning Army and Huainan Army The armies are at war. Taking ten thousand steps back, if Gao Siji and Li Cunxian defeat the Huai people, they will attack Huainan or Jiangxi, and there is a tendency to swallow them up.

"That's right." Kong Qing smiled bitterly.

If Li Cunxian led the Baoning Army to occupy most of Jiangxi, what would he do in the face of such a temptation?Kong Qing changed his position and thought for a while, and felt that in that position, he might as well just do nothing and keep doing it, and let it go.

Liu Jianfeng, Ma Yin and a group of lonely ghosts rushed to Hunan, and they were able to take down two towns.Wouldn't it be nice to learn from them to be emperors behind closed doors?
As for the family members who stayed in the north, although there are ties, they are not absolute.As long as you have enough money and women, there are still many people who are willing to do it with you.The big deal is to lose and run away. Wang Jianzhao can run all the way from Huaixi to Guizhou, so what is he afraid of?
"Go back, let's do something better." Ding Hui patted Kong Qing's shoulder and said.
