Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 276 Feng Liang

The head of Fengzhou City has been replaced with the banner of the Dingnan Army.

A part of the Tianzhu Army entered the city, and more than [-] infantry from the right wing of the Tielin Army and the Yi Cong Army were still stationed by the Dasanshui in the northeast of the city.As for the Li Xiaochang Department of the Baosai Army, they supervised the transportation of food and grass in the rear, so they could only do these things.

Dasanshui, also known as Gudaochuan, flows from the northwest of Fengzhou City, and is called Jialing River in later generations.

From Fengzhou to the southeast, there is a road leading directly to Xingyuan Mansion, which is the return lane built during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Shao Shude didn't plan to take this path, he still followed the established route, going to Xingzhou.That is to say, go west from Fengzhou, pass Malingzhai, Liangdang County, and Hechi County, then turn to the south, go to Qingniling, Changju County, Xingzhou Lisuo Shunzheng County, and then go east, passing Feixianling, Dataoshu, Xixian, Girls Temple, Baocheng County, and Nanzheng County, where Xingyuan Mansion is located.

In fact, there is no battle to fight.Xingzhou surrendered early, and the Fengzhou bandit army was also wiped out in sevens and eighties. At most, there were some remnants left, which could basically be defeated in one blow, or they could be recruited directly.

When it comes to Xingyuan Mansion, political battles and military battles will follow one after another.According to the latest news, Marshal Zhuge was no longer able to lead his troops into battle, and had to lie in bed to recuperate.For the attack on Zhuge Zhongbao later on, someone Shao had to preside over the overall situation. Of course, this was what he planned to do in the first place.

The only thing is the tool and the name, not a dummy!

"Where is Zhang Yanqiu's department?" Shao Shude asked while greeting his staff and generals to eat barbecue.

"Pioneer has arrived at Pavilion 24." Zhao Guangfeng put down the butcher knife and replied.

"So fast?" Shao Shude was a little surprised.

Li Yanling was not around, and the barbeque was replaced by food, which made Qiang Quansheng, but unfortunately, the craftsmanship was a little worse than that of Lao Li.These Chang'an people don't know how to barbecue, but they are not as good as the old people in Xicheng.

Li Yanling, Lu Huaizhong, and Ren Yuji were the earliest with me.Over the years, the officials have become bigger and bigger, and Lao Lu is fine, but the chances of Li and Ren to follow them to the expedition are infinitely close to none.

People around you come and go.Some people have already enjoyed wealth and wealth and no longer go out to work hard, while some have just arrived and are far from satisfied.There are all kinds of life, nothing more than this.

"Commander, without a big battle along the way, he marched very quickly." Zhao Guangfeng replied: "Liang Hanyong is among the vanguard of two thousand elite soldiers. If you go south to Xijiangkou, you can go to Xingyuan Mansion and attack Yangzhou in a roundabout way." back……"

Shao Shude nodded.

It's not easy to be a handsome son-in-law.You have made military exploits and been promoted, and others will secretly say that the commander-in-chief took special care of you, but in fact, the credit is meager and nothing.If you don't make any meritorious service, you will be ridiculed even more.

Whether Liang Hanyong can break through this situation is worth watching.

"What progress has Zhu Mei made along the way?"

"Luogu Pass has been conquered, and we are advancing towards Zhenfu County."

The four-way army went south, all the way to conquer Fengzhou, and cut off the wings of Yangzhou; all the way to Ziwu Valley, by surprise, they even conquered Jinjin and Xixiang counties; Attack; enter Luogu all the way, Keluogu Pass, and attack Zhenfu County soon.

This Wu Ding army really suffered from several enemies, the defeat was doomed from the very beginning.In history, those who can defeat tens of thousands of troops with thousands of people and succeed are worthy of special mention, but it is a pity that Yang Shouzhong has no such ability.

After eating the barbecue, a group of demoted officials from Fengzhou were escorted to pay a visit.

Shao Shude didn't bother to watch these people crying with snot and tears, so he directly imprisoned them and let the court deal with them in the future.Whether you are dead or alive depends on your creation.

On this point, Marshal Shao has always been very submissive.Before defeating Tubo in Yuanzhou, hundreds of people were captured and sent to Chang'an, and the imperial court exiled them to Lingnan.Later, during the western expedition to Hewei, nearly a thousand Tubo nobles and their families were captured, and they were also sent to Chang'an.

Officials from Fengzhou and Yangzhou and their family members will also be sent to Chang'an to be judged if they cannot be convicted of meritorious deeds, and most of them will be exiled to Dingxi County in Huizhou in the end.

On the second day, Shao Shude went to Fengzhou City to have a look.

After climbing up the tower, what you can see is one dangerous peak after another, as well as rivers and valleys mixed in the dangerous peaks.

"Xingzhou and Fengzhou must be controlled in our hands." Shao Shude pointed to the lofty mountains in the distance, and said: "With these two states in hand, the Shannan West Road is not fortified against us, and we can also travel southward to the three springs. Enter the sword gate."

After entering Jianmen, what will happen in the middle of Shu, I don't ask myself.

"Marshal, the Wu Ding army must be abolished." Zhao Guangfeng said: "Xing, Feng, and Yang prefectures were merged into Fengxiang Town, Qin and Cheng prefectures were merged into Hewei Town, and Longyou Town was reset. Zhu Quanzhong is now Leading the Jiedushi of the two towns, the commander-in-chief may wish to submit to the imperial court and merge Xiasui, Shuofang, Tiandejun, and Zhenwujun into Shuofang Town during the Tianbao period. .”

"It's over, it's over." Shao Shude laughed.

"Take the law from the top, get it. Take the law from the middle, get it from the bottom." Zhao Guangfeng said: "If you want to be the governor of the two towns of Shuofang and Longyou, the imperial court will definitely not allow it. Then retreat and get the second place, and let Shuofang be the governor." The degree can also be."

Shao Shude thought for a while, but did not give a final answer.This matter can be a direction to work hard, but we have to wait and see the style of the court and the situation in the world before making a decision.

In the smog and rain in Nanzheng County, Zhuge Shuang reluctantly got up and sat on the bed.

"Jiang Erlang, why are you so sad? Haven't you seen it through decades of life? Birth, old age, sickness and death, it's up to the time." Zhuge Shuang smiled lightly, looked out the window, and fell into memories for a while.

When I was young, my family was very poor, and I often didn't have enough to eat.Although my father once proudly said that they were descendants of the Zhuge family in Langya and came from a famous family, but in fact they were of no help.After Prince Jing of Zhongshan was able to weave mats and sell shoes, he, a descendant of the Zhuge family, went to join the army in order to make a living.

Scenes of life experience, a person he met, some of which he has forgotten, but now he remembers them one by one, as if yesterday.

There is a great wish of the lintel of youth: when he was young, he always felt that he was the most special one, and he would have a bright future in the future, and he could help the society and make the world look up to him.

He has the ambition to join the army when he was young: he is a little more practical when he is young, but he relies on his courage and looks down on this person and that person. He always feels that they are sleazy dogs. If he is in a high position, he will do better than them. .

There is the sadness of not being able to eat when I became a beggar: the ideals of my youth have gone away, and now I just want to live, and at the same time, I deeply doubt whether I am really useful.

There is hesitation about joining the rebellious army: I never thought that I would fall into this field, and I couldn’t go the right way, so I could only work hard and go the wrong way.

There is the joy of his wife and children congratulating him when he surrendered to the imperial court: the little Ruzhou defense envoy made him ecstatic, and recalling his ugly appearance of pointing out the country and cynical people 20 years ago, he was really ashamed.

……

"Life is just a play, and now I should leave." Zhuge Shuang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Jiang Erlang, in Ruzhou in the past, you said you had acquired literary and martial arts, but no one appreciated it. You are from the same town, so you were recruited as an assistant, and it has been almost 20 years now?"

"It's been 18 years..." Jiang Dewen looked sentimental, as if he had also fallen into reminiscence.

At that time, I was only 18 or [-] years old, and it was ridiculous to speak out loudly and compare myself to Guan Zhong.Now, after [-] years of working as a staff member, I know how shallow I was when I was young, how difficult things are in the world, and how many great talents there are in the world.

Both of them fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, Zhuge Shuang sighed: "From now on, Erlang will help Shude wholeheartedly."

"Master..."

"It becomes clearer when a person is about to die." Zhuge Shuang smiled and said, "What else can I ask for in my life? It is one thing to protect my Zhuge family business, and to find a way out for a group of old brothers." It's also important. Erlang, you are still in the prime of life and have unpaid ambitions. What good is it to follow me, a dying person? My son Zhongfang doesn't have the ability to forge ahead. Following him will only waste time, waste time, and even... ..."

"You don't need to say more." Zhuge Shuang sighed: "Niu Li and Wang Qianyu are two generals from my hometown in Qingzhou. They are brave, knowledgeable, and good at leading troops. If they continue to stay in Shannan West Road, they will only be buried. Their ability. Tomorrow, I will discuss with them in detail. Shude has no sect, as long as he is loyal and capable, he can be reused. This is also a way out for them."

"Master..."

"Hehe, a certain is old and dying. Some things are taken lightly." Zhuge Shuang leaned gently on the back of the chair: "Shu De is already thirty, at this age, there may still be a chance..."

After Jiang Dewen left the Marshal's mansion, he bumped into Niu Li outside the door.

"Secretary Jiang."

"General Bull."

"The general is in a hurry, but there is a military report?"

Niu Li didn't answer.

Marshal Zhuge evaluated Niu Li as dull, loyal, diligent, cautious, and strong, and he was very reassuring of him.After getting along for a long time, Jiang Dewen has a good impression of Niu Li. He is a general with a solid style and strong loyalty, and he is also very brave.If he is allowed to lead the army alone, he dare not say anything else. Under normal circumstances, he will not be defeated or defeated.

Of course, this is not the most precious thing, for the season handsome, loyalty is more important than anything else!
If Niu Li came to assist Zhuge Zhongfang, who stayed behind, there would never be any deception.But it seems that the commander-in-chief wants to recommend him to the King of Lingwu County, perhaps for the future of his village party, and perhaps also for the consideration of future generations.

Niu Li's military style is quite suitable for the general's appetite, and naturally it is also very suitable for the Lingwu County King's appetite.Once submitted, it may be reused.

After returning to the Jiedu envoy, Jiang Dewen checked some military newspapers.What he focused on was the movements of Shao Shude, the king of Lingwu County. He was relieved when he learned that his forward had taken over Liangdang County and his main force had passed Maling Village.

Xingyuan Mansion now needs strong troops to suppress the formation, otherwise when will we be able to wipe out that traitor Zhuge Zhongbao?
