Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 810 Factions
"Quick, clean up, the king is coming." Luo Yuan Envoy Wang Yanfan hurried in and ordered.

Some women were arranged in the Qingshu Palace, and upon hearing this, they either voluntarily, or were forced to dress up.

Mrs. Chu put on a bright red six-panel skirt that stretched the floor.

Women's skirts are wide and lengthy, and are made of multiple pieces of scarf and silk.The waist of the skirt was under the armpits, and with the help of his daughter-in-law Xie, Chu tied up a ribbon and exposed half of his breasts.Then it was covered with translucent gauze, revealing the snow-white skin faintly.

After walking to the bronze mirror and taking a look, Mrs. Chu was quite satisfied.

Mrs. Xie also felt amazed when she saw it, and said: "Slowly wearing a skirt and half-exposed breasts, the auspicious lamp on the chest is shining obliquely. King Xia can't take his eyes off the mother-in-law's attire."

"Stop talking nonsense." Mrs. Chu blushed, and said, "Your Majesty has fought in the battlefield for half his life, what scene hasn't he seen? What woman hasn't enjoyed it? He just wants to have some fun."

Xie's body is also very plump and fit, after all, he came from a military school family.She was wearing a yellow dress, which had just been dyed with tulips this morning, giving it the air of tulips.

Li Shangyin once wrote a poem: "Bend your waist and compete for a tulip skirt." The yellow skirt dyed with this kind of flower is bright in color and attracts the most attention.

Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter-in-law, suddenly feeling a little complicated.At first, when King Xia came to favor her, she was still hiding and covering up, not wanting others to know that she had lost her virginity, but now that she was racking her brains to fight for favor, she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Pugu next door has already gone downstairs.

Mrs. Chu glanced at it. This Uighur princess was wearing a bearded gown with narrow sleeves and slits. The collar was turned sideways, revealing a large white area in the middle.The Hu robe was very loose, and when kneeling there, one could easily reach into the lapel and play with it.

There are not many women in Qingshu Palace, Chu Shi, Xie Shi, Pu Gu Shi, twin daughters of Albus, and three unidentified Li Shi.

At this time, they went downstairs one after another, kneeling and sitting in the porch.

People outside the palace neighed and calmed down after a while.

Shao Shude entered the palace gate under the guard of a few personal soldiers, looked casually, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, step back."

The eight women went upstairs with complicated expressions, seemingly relieved and somewhat disappointed.Especially those bearded girls were even more disappointed.In their cognition, it is only natural for one khan to defeat another khan, and then make the loser's wife and daughter their own Kedun and Yanshi.They don't reject these things, aren't women born to be used by men?Serving the strong, on the grasslands no one will criticize.

"Your Majesty." Wang Yanfan followed.

"Purchase a banquet, I'm going to invite you tonight." Shao Shude ordered.

"Obey." Wang Yanfan prepared to go.

Shao Shude thought for a while, went to Chu's room, and looked at his eight-month-old daughter.

The daughter's eyes are dark and she just woke up.Hugged in his arms, Shao Shude was beaming with joy, and he dragged Mrs. Chu downstairs together, walking in the courtyard.

The daughter was very excited, she stretched out her small white hand to touch Shao Shude's beard, and giggled.

Shao Shude, who kills people all day long, also rarely enjoys family happiness, holding his daughter in his arms and never letting go, until Wang Yanfan came to report that all the guests had come.

The guests were of course Liang people who surrendered: Ge Congzhou, Dai Siyuan, Wang Jingluo, Li Yanwei, Ding Hui, Li Renhan, Kong Qing, Kang Yanxiao, Xiao Fu, Zhang Shensi, Shen Cheng, Wen Yu...

Shao Shude nodded, put his daughter back into Chu's arms, and walked towards Bixia Hall.

Mrs. Chu held her daughter and teased her for a while, then prepared to go back.When they reached the front hall, they saw Kang Yanxiao and Xiao Fu coming hand in hand.

"Mrs. Zhang?" Kang Yanxiao was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized that he had said something wrong, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to address her.

Xiao Fu apologized, and dragged Kang Yanxiao away quickly.Chu's face was so red that he seemed to be running upstairs.

There were already many people sitting in Bixia Hall, everyone looked left and right, they were all former colleagues, feeling embarrassed, so few people spoke.

After a while, Shao Shude, Shao Chengjie and his son came in under the guard of the soldiers.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Prince." All the descendants saluted one after another.

"Zhensheng wears plain clothes?" Shao Shude glanced at everyone in the hall, wondering.

"I didn't dare to listen to you in fat clothes without His Highness's release." After a moment of silence, Kang Yanxiao stepped forward and said.

Wang Yanfan stepped forward and whispered, saying that they all came riding donkeys.

Shao Shude nodded, and said: "Erlang, these are all Liang's generals. They either have strategy in mind, or they are brave to win the three armies, or they are resourceful. In future battles, I will rely on them as my father..."

"Grandfather, why don't you give me a crown?" Shao Chengjie understood and asked.

"Just do what my son said." Shao Shude clapped his hands and ordered.

After finishing speaking, he moved closer to his son and said a few words in a low voice.

Soon, the maids brought over Shao Shude's usual crown.Shao Chengjie asked the maids to follow him, and he was the first to walk up to Ding Hui, saying: "In the past, the general fought with Li Hanzhi and Li Cunxiao in Heyang, and his soldiers were no more than [-]. The thieves marched tens of thousands, and the banners covered the sky. In the sun, the general fought against him, defeated the thieves, searched for World War II, Cunxiao and Hanzhi were defeated again, and fled in peace. Attacked Xuzhou, won many battles, fought with Zhu Jin in Jinxiang, and Jin escaped alone. The general's military strategy is admirable, and I will ask for advice from time to time, and I hope the general will never tire of it."

"Your son is intelligent and heroic, what can you say to humble people like us?" Ding Hui sighed, "I will go through fire and water in the future, and I will not hesitate to do so."

Shao Chengjie went to Ge Congzhou again, gave him a crown and belt, and said: "My father once said that I am only afraid of Cong Zhou among the generals in Liang. With a single brigade, I will not be able to enter tens of thousands of troops. There are more than a hundred generals in size. In the battle, countless generals and schools were captured alive, and the famous generals of ancient times can't match them."

Ge Congzhou got up to express his gratitude, and said with some shame: "The Battle of Sishui was defeated by King Xia's cavalry army, and he was convinced that he lost. The son said that, ashamed, ashamed. In the future, he will always obey his orders."

Shao Chengjie smiled, went to Kang Yanxiao again, and said: "General Kang was born in the north and is familiar with the Jin army. After going to Bianzhou in the south, he started from the team and ended up as a general. It is difficult, and those who are not experienced in the battlefield can't say it." , please accept this crown."

Kang Yanxiao stood up and took it, thanking him repeatedly.

……

After giving the crown and belt one by one, Shao Chengjie returned to his father.Shao Shude held up the wine bottle, calling for everyone to drink.There was another beautiful woman dancing in Er'er, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

We are all warriors, what can we not let go of?Drinking and eating meat one by one, calling for friends.

"Erlang, this is the special skill that my father wanted to teach you yesterday." Shao Shude said with a light smile, "What about Liang?"

"Actually, they are quite capable, not mediocre." Shao Chengjie said.

"That's right." Shao Shude nodded, and said, "If you are a king, what will happen if your subordinates are monolithic?"

"It's hard to sleep or eat."

"My son is very smart." Shao Shude said with a smile: "General Liang, it can be used completely. This is another card of our father and son. They have come here recently, and all their previous fame and wealth are gone. They are eager to make contributions, yes. A very useful knife."

"Grandfather's intention, vigorously promote and reuse Liang generals, and fight against Kansai generals?" Shao Chengjie asked.

"It's a big mistake!" Shao Shude said with a serious face: "I started with the Kansai warriors, and it was the Kansai warriors who broke through Liangdi. You need to know where the country is. You can use it and drive it , can be consumed, but their loyalty to their father is limited, and they don't have much deep affection. Affection is something that can't be seen or touched, but it influences too many things. Li Ke's tactics are messed up, but how can he win over There are so many brave men working hard? Even though they are not as wealthy as the Liang people and Xia people, there are few traitors. There is no other reason, but love is different."

"Liang's descendant general, use it and drive it. But you must not neglect the old man Yuan Cong in Kansai, otherwise, even I will not be able to protect..." Shao Shude paused, and then said: "Take the Kansai warriors as the country. Ben, treat people with proper courtesy and rewards, and encourage them to fight for me. The generals of Xia will see it, and will put away their arrogance, and will work harder in the future. Erlang, do you understand?"

Shao Chengjie didn't have a deep understanding of this, but he still responded: "I know it."

Of course, it's not completely ignorant.He read history books and saw that many monarchs maintained a balance among their courtiers, and there were many factions.What my father means is that there can be factions, and factions are impossible to eliminate, but they must be dominated by the old Yuancong, and eventually form a situation where the strong Yuancong old people faction and the weak Liangdijiangren faction coexist.

He still has to ponder over this matter, and ask for advice.Hmm, thinking of Hu Zhen and Duan Ning for the first time, Shao Chengjie felt something wrong, they were descendants of Liang Di, did they get too close to these people?What would the old man in Kansai think of him?

Alas, these things are too annoying, far less enjoyable than fighting in battle.

"Grandpa, what should we do if we surrender?" Shao Chengjie suddenly remembered this and asked.

"Reorganize." Shao Shude had already made a plan, and said: "After the Iron Forest Army comes, first select four thousand Liang soldiers, break them up and organize them into each battalion. From now on, the Iron Forest Army will have [-] infantry in each of the left and right flanks. Three thousand cavalry."

Shao Shude had actually thought about this for a long time, and only recently made up his mind.

At present, there are too many military numbers, and the number of each army varies, so reorganization is imperative.The Tielin Army is just one of them. In fact, the Wuwei, Shunyi, and Jishi armies will be the first to be reorganized.

The Wuwei and Shunyi armies are on their way back to Ruzhou, and the Jishi army is on their way to Ruzhou.

The Wuwei Army is a veteran army, and it can be regarded as Shao Shude's core direct line.The two armies of Shunyi and Jishi were far less close, and this time they just merged. The new army was named "Wuwei", divided into left and right sides, and had a military strength of [-].

The Wuwei Army currently has about [-] infantry and more than [-] cavalry.The Jishi Army still has more than [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.The Shunyi Army once suffered heavy losses, but it has been repaired and is now fully equipped with [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

At the time of reorganization, the Liang army was dispatched to drop [-] troops, and the number of Wuwei troops on the left and right could reach [-].

In Shao Shude's vision, there will not be too many bugles in the future, and the competition is bound to be fierce.

"Every reorganization is an excellent opportunity to strengthen control, and it is also a great opportunity to show kindness, my son must remember it." Shao Shude said in a low voice.

After all, pick up the wine bottle, drink with the surrendered general after the end, and deepen the relationship.
