Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 70 Xiazhou ([-])

On November 22, the first year of Guangming, Feng Yin and his team went through untold hardships, avoided the rebels and bandits, and arrived in Suizhou with difficulty. However, Shao Shude had already arrived in Xiazhou at this time. Xia Zhou rushed over.

Shao Shude has been in Xiazhou for two days.Zhuge Shuang gave him a house, located in the west of the city, with five halls with nine frames and three houses with two houses. It is said that he used to belong to a certain general in the state city. He was angered and killed, and his family became slaves. The house was also confiscated.Now, after going around in circles, it fell into the hands of Shao Shude.

This house, to be honest, is beyond his identity.The Muzong Dynasty once issued a battalion repair order to the official residence, and the mansion given by Zhuge Shuang, strictly speaking, can only be built by officials above the third rank. It can be seen that the military leaders in the remote military prefectures are relatively lawless and do not take the court’s decrees. thing.

The house has two entrances, front and back, and it also has a garden. It covers an area of ​​about seven acres, and is the largest residence in Xiazhou City except for the Jiedushi Mansion.According to Jiang Dewen, secretary of the Xia Sui Festival, the materials used in this house are also very sophisticated. Wenbo is used as beams, red mud and powder walls, stones in the backyard are mountains, water is used as streams, and the eaves of the flying pavilion are painted with Danqing. It is said that It will cost more than 1000 yuan for one class, and it still costs a million yuan, that is, more than [-] guan.

Although it is not comparable to the mansion of the wealthy and wealthy families in Chang'an, it is one of the best in Xiazhou in the northwest. Anyone who sees it should praise it.The tooth general who built this house before, died not unjustly, it was too ostentatious.

"The commander gave me this house, and a certain person was very uneasy, and he always felt that he would be the target of all the generals." The garden after the snow was desolate, and Shao Shude, dressed in fur, was walking on the snow, looking at the pond and trees. Some are unsteady.

"Perhaps, what the commander wants is that the general becomes the target of public criticism." Chen Cheng followed closely behind him, analyzing the situation for the lord: "In the past in Jinyang, Li Kan also reused the lord, killed the general in Hedong, and took military power."

Shao Shude nodded in agreement, but also secretly annoyed, no matter where he went, he couldn't escape the fate of being a knife for others.Zhuge Shuang seems to be rough, but he may have seen through his character weakness long ago. He is nostalgic and repaying his kindness, so he tried his best to win over him. He set up Tielin Army first, and then gave the house as a marriage green house.

To be honest, he succeeded.Even if Shao Shude can see through, but his character is like this, he has no choice but to accept this feeling.In the future, if there will be chaos in the city of the city, and Zhuge Shuang has a call, can he lead the Tielin army to help?Character determines fate, and before you know it, you have been figured out by many people.

"I have to accept this feeling. The Tie Lin army needs a great commander, and the great commander also needs Tie Lin army, that's all." Shao Shude walked around, and he didn't go into the inside of the road at all, and said instead: "In a few days, XX will get married. The ancients Yun married and established a business, and XX worked hard for seven years, so it can be considered reluctantly."

"The great cause of the lord has just begun." Chen Cheng lowered his head, not knowing whether to persuade or flatter.

success?Just hit the road.Shao Shude inexplicably thought of the advertisement of the later generations and smiled.After more than seven years of life, he has long lost the sense of superiority of modern people.In seven years, he has worked hard to become the prefect of a state. If there is such a thing as crossing the border, Shao Shude dares to say that he is the first, and no one can make more progress than him.Unless someone else directly transmigrates to become an emperor, then well, even the process of struggling and farming can be saved, and you can directly use resources to do what you want to do, but how can this luck be born on your head?

"Military envoy, there is a guest coming from Suizhou." Fan He suddenly came over and reported softly.

"Suizhou? Guest? Who is it?" Shao Shude asked.

Fan He glanced at Chen Cheng and said, "It's Feng Yin who came from Beijing, saying that he has something important to discuss."

Oh?As soon as Shao Shude heard it, he felt that the matter was not too small, and immediately asked Feng Yin to come over.

Soon, Feng Yin and the Liu brothers entered the backyard.The reunion after a long absence is naturally a feeling of emotion. Feng Yin introduced the Liu brothers to Shao Shude, and Shao Shude greeted them one by one.

"Does Shude know that Zhuge Shuang is going south to seek thieves?" Feng Yin first subconsciously looked at the empty backyard, and then said.

"So soon?" Shao Shude was a little surprised. He always thought that he would have to wait until March or April next year. It seems that Huang Chao is going well in Henan.

"Chaozhong number 600,000 has fallen into the Eastern Capital, threatening to go to Chang'an for questioning. The sage and the prime minister wept, and repeatedly issued orders to call on the soldiers and horses of the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing. It will be Zhuge Shuang's turn soon. Or, this time The imperial decree has already been issued, Zhuge Shuang will soon go south and lead troops from east of the river to meet the enemy." Feng Yin said.

"Hedong soldiers and horses?" Chen Cheng immediately realized the point, and asked, "How does Zhuge commander Hedong soldiers and horses? How can the soldiers not know the generals but not the soldiers?"

"This matter is absolutely true." Feng Yin shook his head, he didn't know how to explain it, but it was the truth.

"Military envoy, this matter is tricky." Chen Cheng frowned, as if deducing the trend of the situation, and only after a while did he listen to him: "The commander must lead his confidants to the south, and only then can he command the arrogant soldiers in Hedong. It would be troublesome if Tuoba Sigong stayed in the town if it was specified that the envoy should lead the Tielin army to accompany him."

Feng Yin listened to it, and suddenly felt that this Chen Cheng seemed to have some knowledge, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Military envoy, let me talk about it in detail." Chen Cheng seemed to have figured out the joint, and said with cupped hands: "If the military envoy and the general are all going south, it is said that there are 600,000 people in the nest. Although it is not true, 200,000 people should Yes. There are eight towns in the northwest of Beijing. They are full of arrogant soldiers, rebellious and unruly, and they may not be willing to kill the enemy sincerely. An order was issued to the towns to continue to deploy troops. As far as this town is concerned, wouldn't Tuoba Sigong's party soldiers be a great help? A certain person felt that he could still pull out 5000 people with all his strength. Win over Tuoba Sigong and give him great power, maybe he will be the envoy of Xia Sui."

After Chen Cheng's analysis, the lines were basically clear, and Shao Shude also felt quite embarrassed.

"Shu De, don't hesitate at this time, you won't be able to send troops." Feng Yin advised: "Why don't you start a military chaos in Suizhou and let Zhuge Shuang know that the Tielin army is unavailable?"

"It's not right." Shao Shude immediately rejected the bad idea: "It's easy to make fakes come true. Suizhou is the foundation of a certain company, and it can't be messed up."

"Then cut the party project?" Feng Yin came up with an idea again, looking very eager.

"No." This time it was Chen Cheng who remonstrated: "Once the party is mobilized, it will be delayed for a long time. Searching the mountains and suppressing the villages will take a long time. The Tielin Army only has 4000 people, and it will not be easy to calm down every one or two years. My lord, even at this time If we don’t come out, there’s not much time to delay, at most in March and April next year, if the imperial court doesn’t wipe out Huang Chao, they will have to mobilize troops again.”

"It's best, transfer Tuobas Sigong out now." Chen Cheng finally added: "Let Tuobas Sigong face Huang Chaobingfeng and see if he can resist."

"Tuoba Si Gong will definitely not follow the order." Shao Shude shook his head, preventing Chen Cheng from saying: "This man is cunning and cunning, if he doesn't have enough benefits, how can he send troops?"

Shao Shude vaguely remembered something from later generations.After Huang Chao broke Chang'an, the only one who really beat Huang Chao was Li Keyong.No matter what his intentions are, at least he is really fighting, and everyone else is saving their strength and watching.After Huang Chao was driven out of Guanzhong, it was not counted, and he chased him to Henan, which was even more loyal than a loyal minister.

"This won't work, that won't work either! Shu De, no matter what, this time, I will definitely not be able to follow Zhuge Shuang to the expedition. Huang Chao is not so easy to destroy, and Zhuge Commander will probably be defeated. As long as you survive these few months, stay When the imperial court transfers troops, you must protect your right to know the affairs of Xia Suijie. With Dr. Li Kan and Li threading the needle, and Fengxiang supervisor Ximen Sigong coordinating in the middle, this matter is not difficult." Feng Yin said impatiently.

After running for thousands of miles, he didn't want it to go wrong.I thought about it well before coming, but I still underestimated the complexity of Xia Sui Town.In Feng Yin's mind, Tuoba Sigong was more dangerous than Yang Yue, the military envoy of Jinglue, and he was Shao Shude's number one opponent for Xia Sui's military envoy.

"It really doesn't work, it's better to attack Tuoba's party first." Feng Yin said in a broken jar at the end.

Shao Shude and Chen Cheng laughed when they heard the words.Why don't they want to kill Tuoba Sigong, the biggest hidden danger, but it's not that simple.The Tuoba clan's old nest in Youzhou has been in operation for decades, and it is still possible to draw [-] or [-] troops. Although it may not be as elite as the Jinglue Army and the Tielin Army, you are the attacker and you have to go deep into the enemy's territory. It is necessary to pull the whole town soldiers and horses together, and there may be more than enough.

But what Feng Yin said was also true.Tuoba Sigong couldn't see the rabbit and didn't throw the eagle, and it was no good that the wall would not move.On the other hand, when looking at the army in Xia Sui, Marshal Zhuge should be willing to be diligent, and he, Shao Shude, is also willing, not for any other reason, but to live more people.Jinglue's envoy Yang Yue was not familiar with him and did not know whether his political consciousness was high or not, but Shao Shude felt that he would probably follow the dispatch of the imperial court.

Unlucky to go first, not only will they have to face the prosperous state of the nest army, but also may be recruited because of the defeat.Afterwards, in order to win others over to continue to serve, the imperial court will bring greater benefits to those who send troops later - this matter, is it really a loss for honest people?
"Think about this matter carefully." Shao Shude said: "Fan He, take the generals Feng Feng down to rest, don't let others see it, remember. After this matter is over, go to Suizhou again to bid farewell to Song. Please come here, everyone will make a total sum up together. Marshal Zhuge treats me like a nephew, if he wants me to go south, he will not refuse. In life, there are always some things that are more important than personal power."

Chen Cheng sighed slightly.My lord, you still don't understand, you are not alone now.There are [-] people in the Tielin army, and everyone is pointing you to promotion and making a fortune.It's not bad to focus on love and righteousness, but it also depends on the time.Alas, I have to talk to Song Biejia in private about this.
