Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 729 Talk

By the side of the salt pond, the cold wind is blowing, and the torrents are surging.

"In a few days, the surface of the lake will be frozen, and there are still fish to watch." Shao Shude took his wife and children, looked at the endless salt pond, and said, "Summer is a good place to go."

Zhe Fangai and Zhao Yu followed him, one on the left and the other on the right, wearing woolen jackets and skirts, which were particularly eye-catching.

Shao Shude also wore a thick woolen cloak, an iron armor, and a sweater inside.

The couple, the three of them, made up their minds to start the wool trend.

A large number of sergeants were deployed on the east and south sides of Yanchi.Li Keyong has ordered the Guizhou army to retreat eastward in the direction of the Tiancheng army. From the map, it seems that this is almost going to retreat to Guizhou.

In ancient times, there was a saying of retreating three homes, but Li Cunxiao did not know how far this distance was, so polite?

Small-scale conflicts also broke out in Shuozhou.

Li Kening stationed troops in Caochengchuan, and continued to send people into the Sanggan River Valley.

Most of the Jin army was infantry, and the iron cavalry and silver guns put them into the flat river valley plain, trying to cut off the grain road, but the effect was not satisfactory, so they had to disperse and monitor.

And in the constant patrolling, they also discovered a shocking secret: the main force of the Jin army was hidden behind Yanmen Pass.

These people can go out of Yanmen Pass at any time to cut off the connection between Shuozhou and Yunzhou. Shengzhou Hebin County in Hexi.

Zhe Siyu directly dispersed the cavalry army to the river valley between Hebinguan and Shanyangling to prevent the enemy from suddenly touching their backs without knowing it.

After the news was sent back to Woyang Palace, Shao Shude understood completely, and Li Keyong didn't make up his mind to fight.

That's right!Li Keyong really wants to turn his face, why is he fighting with himself in Daibei?There should not be many soldiers in Yunzhou. Thinking of this, Shao Shude felt more secure in his heart. He had already brought his wife, concubine and children to Yanchi to eat fish, waiting for Li Keyong's final response.

"Da Lang, this time I'm going out with General Xia, so I'll learn more and see more about everything." Shao Shude personally inspected every piece of equipment on Shao Siwu's body, finally looked at his son's size, and said: "In the future, he will definitely grow taller than his father. In the fourth year of Zhonghe, when I took you, a little girl, from Yu Niang's arms, you stared at me with big black eyes. Raising a child is not easy, and life is not easy, Dalang encouraged himself."

Zhao Yu stepped forward to straighten Shao Siwu's robe, and said in a low voice, "Aniang is over forty years old, and she is favored by the king. What kind of scenery and enjoyment have you never seen in this life? Now, I only want my children to be safe and prosperous." In today's world, Da Lang, you have chosen the path of martial arts, so A Niang can't say anything. There is only one—"

After finishing speaking, he put his ear next to Shao Siwu's, and said, "Your father won't care if you occasionally make a small mistake, don't think about it."

Shao Siwu's expression moved slightly, and after saluting, he got on his horse, followed the footsteps of the Heishi army, and headed towards Xuanhongchi.

After Li Cunxiao retreated, Shao Shude was not polite at all, and occupied Xuanhongchi first.If this place is not blocked, Yanchi will not be fortified, and if Yanchi is not fortified, Woyang Palace will not be safe.

It was the Heiji Army who carried out the order, and Shao Shude's eldest son, Shao Siwu, also went to the front line to practice.

After the black scorpion army set off, Shao Shude returned to Woyang Palace with his family.

On the ninth day of October, he received two messages.

The first news is about Li Keyong.Li Keyong agreed to meet in Xuanhong Pond to watch fish and have a feast.

The second news is about Tartar.A large group of Tatar tribes appeared near the Nuozhen Water Branch.

Nuozhen Water Branch, located near Damao Banner of later generations, is the confluence of the east and west sources of Nuozhen Water (Aibugai River), with abundant water and grass.

When the Tatars appeared in this place, the Zangcai and Hunbu jumped up like cats whose tails had been trampled on, panicking again and again.

Shao Shude ignored the last message he pressed, and strictly prohibited it from being leaked out. He directly ordered: "The bodyguards and Yin An stay at Woyang Palace. I'll go see Li Keyong."

The Tatars must be cleaned up.But it's not now, and the morale of the army cannot be disturbed by this.

After Li Keyong was forced to retreat, he sent his troops to the north in a big way, whether they were real Tatars or Tatarized party members, such as the big insect princes in Lingzhou, etc., they would all be swept away.

The beating made them run wild, the beating made them cry for their father and mother, and the beating made them dare not look south.

……

Li Keyong took three thousand riders and slowly arrived at the east side of Xuanhong Pond.

And in the west, one army after another marched out of camp.

The wind is blowing.

Li Ke dismounted his horse and carefully watched the opposite army.

When the sergeants stood there, they were tall and straight like pine, with spears, bows, crossbows, and armor.

The war drums kept beating, and more and more soldiers arrived in the wilderness. Counting carefully, there were almost [-] soldiers.

After a long time, a general came out of the camp gate under the stars and the moon, and stopped slowly.

"What a big show." Li Ke snorted coldly.

He has a good look in his right eye, and he recognized Shao Shude at a glance!

Compared with ten years ago, the changes are not small, mainly in appearance and demeanor, more and more majestic and dignified, almost like a different person.

People, it turns out that things can really change! 20 years old, 40 years old, 60 years old, different stages of life, is it really the same person?
"Grandfather, do you want to attack?" Li Siyuan asked softly: "The three thousand soldiers brought by my son are superbly skilled. If they go straight and try their best to kill them, it is still possible to capture and kill Shao thief."

Beside Li Siyuan was a young man, who was leading several empty horses, who was ready to try after hearing the words.

This person's name is Li Congke, and he is Li Siyuan's newly adopted son.Last year, he followed Li Keyong to conquer Yingmo in the south, broke into Zhenzhou once, captured his wife Wei, and took him into the house.And Wei Shi also brought a oil bottle, so he became Li Siyuan's son logically.

"Stand back!" Li Keyong said.

Li Siyuan was driven east in a daze, with his three thousand cavalry.Li Keyong stood alone on the horse, looking to the west.

"It's right here, don't move without orders." Shao Shude ordered.

Shao Shude handed over the bow and sword to Li Zhong, and told them to wait in place and ride eastward.

Li Ke took out the weapon from the weapon holster, threw it on the ground, and rode his horse westward.

"Brother!" Shao Shude got off his horse when there were more than twenty steps away.

Li Keyong took a step slowly and dismounted too.

The sergeants such as Tielin, Heizhu, and Jindao in the formation stared wide-eyed, and the horse had already been led over, snorting uneasily, as if ready to attack at any time.

Li Siyuan was a little silly.The two Jieshuai, who are sitting in a big town with a large army, went to the meeting alone without even bringing their equipment. If there was a fight, would they throw their fists at each other?
He gestured with his eyes, and Sanqianqi was also ready to dispatch at any time.

Li Keyong stood there reservedly, Yuan Tingyue stood up, not angry and pretentious, after brewing some emotions, his eyes swept towards Shao Shude, just about to say two words of reproach——

"Brother!" Shao Shude grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, I miss you brother."

Li Ke snorted coldly, and could not continue with the words on his lips, so he could only scold him: "Second brother has done a great job!"

Shao Shude also restrained his smile, but he still took Li Keyong's hand and said, "Since you and I are brothers, why should we divide each other? What benefits will there be in the future, the elder brother's share is absolutely indispensable."

"You really want to usurp the throne!" Li Ke's eyes flickered.

"Brother, why did you say that?" Shao Shude wondered, "Up to now, the towns in Kansai have not ceased to offer offerings, and there has never been a shortage. Every time the court is in trouble, they send troops to serve the king one after another. If there is any objection, why is this?"

Li Keyong was not so easy to fool, and asked: "Will it usurp the throne?"

Shao Shude sighed, and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Fang today?"

"Various towns, big and small, are encroaching endlessly, the imperial court is becoming increasingly fraught, and the majesty is sweeping away." When he said the last sentence, he gave Shao Shude a stare.

"I don't know what to say about some things. At least until now, I haven't thought about usurping the throne." Shao Shude said.

This is cunning, of course Li Keyong understood, wishing he could catch him and beat him up.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do with this cheap brother.What if he lied to you, so what if he didn't lie to you?Can you be held accountable?Or are you really angry and don't care about it, just fight with him now?What about Youzhou?
That fellow Liu Rengong betrayed me and colluded with the Khitan people in vain that I trusted him so much. Do you want to settle the score?

"Brother, brother, there is only one sentence, you and I are brothers. Then no matter what in the future, even if we belong to the enemy, I will still recognize my nephews and nieces. I will be a rich man with peace of mind and live a life of worry-free life. I still have this measure." Yes." Shao Shude said.

The howling north wind blew across the earth.

Shao Shude and Li Keyong stood side by side on the bank of Xuanhong Pond, arguing endlessly in low voices.

Sergeants on both sides waited anxiously.Even if the impatient horse neighed, it would cause a commotion on both sides.

Are you done talking?Hurry up and start the fight after talking, I can't wait!
After a long time, the two people got on their horses at the same time by the Xuanhong Pool, bowed their hands and parted ways.

Sergeants on both sides quickly stepped forward to respond.Shao Siwu took the lead and quickly rushed to Shao Shude's side, guarding him tightly.

"Li Ke uses this bastard." After rushing back to the formation, Shao Shude shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Before leaving, he took out a sharp knife from his boot and said he could have killed me, but he couldn't bear to see his nephews and nieces crying, Let it go."

Everyone turned pale after hearing this.

Li Ke used his horse to stay far away, and after wandering for a while, he beat his horse away.

Three thousand riders followed behind him like a gust of wind, heading south.

　It's okay to sleep on the floor after returning to work.However, several people sleep in a meeting room, and it is too inconvenient to code words once a day, once a day, and once a calculation, and report the action track at any time.

　　Now the rhythm is completely chaotic, there is no place to sleep, and there is no desk, so I can only put the computer on my lap to type.

　　The debt owed is slowly paid off.
