Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 54 Thank you

On October [-], the first snow of this winter fell in Jinyang.

Hedong has been fighting for more than a year. In this cold winter, the life of the people should be difficult.However, for the sergeants in Fucheng, the winter clothes have been issued and they have received a lot of reward money.

Li Kan's life has been getting worse recently.After Li Guochang and his son defeated thousands of troops in Youzhou Town in Weizhou, they did not dare to fight.Considering the embarrassing situation in the army, they had to move south again to attack Daizhou.

There are tens of thousands of officers and troops on the northern front line, and it really can't be eaten.But this does not mean that there is absolutely no chance, at least they can bypass the garrison of the Hedong army who are passively defending or even deliberately pampering them, go deep into Xin and Daixiang, and withdraw as soon as they loot.

The robbery was very successful, but what should I say, the Datong Army was like this, and it became a downright grass bandit army, which was incomparable to the momentum that would sweep the entire Hedong when the incident started.If Huang Chao doesn't enter Chang'an, Li's father and son will have no chance.

However, although the grass bandits are difficult to achieve, the harm to the people is real.Shao Shude was very sentimental about this, but there was nothing he could do.So, with this compassionate heart, he slipped back to the He Mansion after dark.Before entering the door, I self-examined, I originally said that I would not insult He Gongya's family, but when I saw Zhao's beauty, the words I once said flew out of the sky.Take it as a warning, let's not set an example!

Zhao Shi still sat there gently, looking at a book that he didn't know.Shao Shude told her something that would not be very nutritious, and was about to practice his [-]th style, when he heard someone hurried from outside.

"General!" It was Li Yanling's voice. What is this fellow doing at this time? Is there any change outside?

"General, there is a report from the memorial hall." Li Yanling waited outside the door for a while, and after receiving Shao Shude's call, he walked in and said excitedly, "The saint has sealed a group of camps to motivate the soldiers to fight. The generals and generals are also among them, and they have to be granted the prefect of Suizhou. The body, official robe, and seal letter have been sent to the commander's mansion together with the report, and they will be available tomorrow."

"Now, the last commander can call the general 'envoy'." Li Yanling said with a smile.The brothers have been wandering for more than a year, and it is indeed gratifying to see that they finally have a place to stay.

"What am I going to do?" Although he was already mentally prepared, after hearing the news, Shao Shude was still very excited, and suddenly stood up from the Hu bed and asked.

"Uh... Stuff the money?" Li Yanling was also blinded.

"General, the best thing to do now is to write a thank you note." As expected of being from an official family, Zhao's words hit the point.

"Yes, yes, write a thank you note. Where is Mr. Chen?" Shao Shude asked anxiously.

"I went to Lanzhou and didn't return." Li Yanling replied.

"This... how can I not be around at this time, alas."

Zhao Shi calmly walked to the table.This was originally He Gongya's study, and it was complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Zhao Shi lightly brushed the ink, spread out a piece of paper after a long time, and began to write.

Shao Shude was a little stunned, but when he approached, he saw: "On the [-]th of this month, I have to enter the court to report, and I have to obey the governor of a certain month and day. The brilliance is in Ruan Lane, the mountains are heavy, and the mountains are heavy. Reward. The minister is limited to guarding the vassal town, and he will not be praised by the heavens, and there will be no gratitude or fear.

"Madam is so talented, it really makes Shao extremely ashamed." Li Yanling didn't know when to go out, and Shao Shude hugged Zhao from behind and praised.

"The generals slashed the enemy generals, and repeatedly defeated the stubbornness. How could it be comparable to a concubine?" Zhao's body was a little tense.

This woman is ingratiating herself and showing her own value, Shao Shude is very clear in his heart.

"I don't know the madam's name yet."

"The concubine is named jade."

"Where did this name come from?"

"A-niang once got a piece of jade, and sent a craftsman to polish it and make it into an ornament, and gave it to a concubine, hence the name."

"Can I have a look at this jade?"

Zhao's face flushed to the bottom of his ears, and he didn't speak.

Shao Shude stretched out his hand and touched a stick of incense before he took out a pendant and praised, "It's a beautiful jade, it's as smooth as cream." Zhao's face turned redder, and his breathing was a little disordered.

"This is General He's study? General He has been writing official letters on this case all the year round?"

Zhao Shi didn't answer, but his body trembled even more.

Shao Shude also felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and with a sudden force, Zhao threw himself on the desk, only to hear a cracking sound, and [-] words could be omitted here.

After a long time, the weak Zhao shi gently slid to the ground.Shao Shude picked up the thank-you form on the case, and sighed, "It's smeared by saliva, please rewrite it." Zhao's eyes were blurred, and he didn't know if he heard it.

After walking out of the study refreshed, Shao Shude summoned his general Xu Hao, who was staying in the barracks tonight.The process of making this decision is very difficult. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with a fragrant and beautiful girl in the He's House in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month?As a result, I went to the military camp to get along with a group of stinky guys. It goes without saying that the gap is huge.But the current situation is chaotic. The army is his lifeblood and the guarantee of his life. Shao Shude can still handle it clearly.

After staying in the military camp for one night, Shao Shude went to the Shuai Mansion the next day and received the official robes, seals, flags, confession and other things sent by the court.I met Li Kan during this period. The commander is very haggard now. Youzhou Town tried his best and then retreated. The Datong rebels were short of money and food, and they went south from Daizhou to loot.

There is a heart to march north, but this meeting has completely torn apart the Jinyang generals, and they are worried that once the military power is handed over to them, they will be in chaos on the spot.With the lessons of Su Hongzhen and He Gongya, Zhang Kai and Guo Fei are afraid that they will never wait and see.But if you don't go north, you will die sooner or later. The difference between waiting for death and courting death is really a dilemma.

Li Kan was also surprised that Shao Shude had obtained the confession of the Suizhou governor.He originally wanted him to be the general of Shiling Town, to replace Kang Chuangui and help him guard the north gate of Jinyang, but Shao went to Suizhou by himself.This is not unruly what is it?Li Kan was disappointed with Shao Shude.

It was difficult for Shao Shijiang to understand Li Dashuai's mood, and he didn't want to.His current mind has already flown to Suizhou. If he has great ambitions, it is more important to manage his own site.

The snow on the streets of Jinyang gradually thickened.This great city in the north is already powerless. Zhang Kai and Guo Fei are complacent, but this piece of fat in Hedong will not fall into your hands after all.Let's wait and see, when I go to Xia Sui to show off my grand plans, I will have my own teaching in the future.

On October 25th, Chen Cheng came back from Lanzhou, and Shao Shude quickly invited him to He's mansion for tea.

"Congratulations to the envoy." Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Suizhou is originally a county, but unfortunately the household registration is not rich, otherwise the envoy would be able to wear purple."

"Haha, it's okay." Shao Shude smiled and said: "It's just a fake name, I wouldn't care much about it. In the future, I have to rely on you for the affairs of the state. Mr. Chen is very talented, and he has to help me."

This was a public appointment, and Chen Cheng was also excited.After more than ten years of wasting, just when I was disheartened and ready to return to my hometown, there was still such a fortune.

"If you have your life, Chen will not hesitate to go through fire and water." Chen Cheng stood up and thanked him.

"Now there is something that needs to be done by Mr.

"Envoy, please speak."

"Tomorrow I will send 500 people to the supply battalion. Don't worry, they are all soldiers from Heyang. Under the command of Shao's relative Xu Hao, they will escort some things and...people back to Suizhou. After arriving in Longquan County (Suizhou Lisuo), please trouble Mr. Chen will settle the deal with the local area, and then clean up the government office of the lower state, so that it is convenient for people to live in," Shao Shude said.

"Who's escorting?"

"I would love concubine Zhao Yu and righteous daughter Shao Guoer."

Zhao Shi, who was making tea by the side, shuddered when he heard the words, and his mood was obviously fluctuating.

"Since it is a family member, Chen dares to be careless!" Chen Cheng said solemnly.It seems that the He Zhao family has some tricks. The wife of the guilty general has climbed the high branch again. He also said that the general will accept He Gongya's daughter as his righteous daughter, so he must be more careful in the future, otherwise the pillow wind blows, and the big The credit also vanished.

Originally, I planned to persuade the lord to seek marriage as soon as possible, but now it seems that the timing is not right, so let's find another opportunity.Having obtained Suizhou, the lord has great ambitions, and with Linzhou's family help, he will do more with less.It just needs to be done carefully, but I can't let this Zhao clan be jealous, alas, it's so difficult to do something.

After eating tea, Chen Cheng hurriedly left.Shao Shude looked at the heavy snow outside and wanted to spend the night in his military camp, but his legs and feet took root and he couldn't get out.The dignified and atmospheric feeling of Zhao Shi always made him have a strong desire to destroy and torment.Alas, this is not the case.
