A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 79
Ma Zhou smiled, "I think when I meet you, Erlang, I meet a noble person. If Longyou survives this time, he will definitely be able to turn around."

"Then do you still think you are not good enough for my eldest sister?"

"I'm afraid your eldest sister will look down on me."

"I think my eldest sister thinks you are good. I saw her respectful and appreciative eyes when I saw you that day."

Lao Ma was a little embarrassed by Huaiyu's words. When a person is humble and downcast, every candy given by others can always be remembered in his heart.

"Okay, thanks to Erlang for not giving up, if Mrs. Wu doesn't dislike me, as long as I can get back from Longyou alive, I will come to propose marriage."

"Okay, that's a deal, don't go back on your word!"

Ma Zhou was also very happy, "I'll make a letter for you." After saying that, he stopped writing the diary and wrote a letter of commitment to Huaiyu, who solemnly accepted it.

As for the future prime minister, take advantage of the current downturn to be a partner, and together with eldest sister Xu, now the eldest sister will be settled for the rest of her life, and even the Wu family can get a good backup in the future.

Huaiyu put it away carefully, smiled and crossed his hands at Ma Zhou, "I will call you brother-in-law from now on."

Ma Zhou responded, and his face turned red. It can be seen that Ma Zhou may really like Wu Yu'e. Of course, it is not ruled out that he is now down and down, and he wants to gain some glory from the Wu family. After all, the Wu family has a family of three. Wei Wu Erlang is very well-connected and has made friends with several upstarts and famous families.

If Ma Zhou had come up with such an idea a few years earlier, he would have immediately untied his shoelaces and hanged himself in the grove, but after the past few years of bumping into walls and falling down, his mentality has also changed somewhat.He is no longer so lofty and arrogant, nor will he refuse the kindness offered by others.

He comforted himself in his heart, Wu Erlang is a very good person, he is also his nobleman, the Wu family is also a good family, and Wu Yu'e is a very virtuous woman.

We are not bowing our heads to the power, but we just happen to meet noble people.

Sleepiness hit, Huaiyu gradually fell asleep.

I was too tired from the journey, and it was dawn in no time.

Ma Zhou was already helping him cook beef jerky and rice porridge. Huaiyu woke up smelling the smell of rice. Chen Xing and Zhao Xin were already preparing Huaiyu's horse.

After tidying up the horse, the two of them came over to put on Huaiyu's chain mail and then tied the vest. If it wasn't for the fact that the Mingguang armor was too heavy, Huaiyu would have wanted to put the Mingguang armor on directly. At least how many lives can be saved.

Huaiyu asked Lu Huairang, who was also wearing chain mail next to him, "What kind of person is General Chai?"

Lu Huaiyu is Chai Shao's brother-in-law. In fact, the age difference between the two is not too big, and Chai Shao is only under forty.

Chai Shao's hometown in Jinzhou, Hedong was the son of Chai Shen, Gong Chai of Julu County in Sui Dynasty.

Mentioning Chai Shao, Lu Huairang gave a thumbs up, "You don't know, when we were young, Chai Shao was the role model that countless of our noble youths in Chang'an worshiped. , the younger brother of Shi Wansui, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.

So when Princess Pingyang Zhao raised troops in Guanzhong, Shi Wanbao and Li Shentong immediately raised troops in Hu County, recruiting more than 1 horses to join Princess Pingyang Zhao.

Chai Shao was born in the general family of Guanlong, and he was already agile and courageous when he was young. There are few Chang'an heroes who are famous for restraining the strong and supporting the weak. Picking thousands of choices, he took the initiative to betroth the eldest daughter to Chai Shao.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin used to follow Chai Shao, and they also joined the Chang'an ranger circle in their early years.

Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, and Chai Shao and his wife were still in Guanzhong. After receiving the letter, Chai Shao rushed to Hedong. On the way, he took Jiancheng and Yuanji, who wanted to go into the mountains and become the king of the mountain to escape the pursuit of the Sui Dynasty, and they arrived in Taiyuan together. Leading the post of Chief Governor of the Metropolitan Government.

Princess Pingyangzhao stayed in Guanzhong to find her own way out, and then she forced a small 10 people to lay down a large area to welcome Li Yuan into Chang'an.

At the beginning of the founding of Wude, Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Jian Jian, Qin Wang Li Shimin, Qi Wang Yuanji, and Princess Chai Shao and his wife of Pingyang all had a large and elite army. , but his identity is very unusual.

And Chai Shao was also very good at fighting, and participated in almost all the battles of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Afterwards, Jiuzheng Longyou in the west of Beijing, Weizhen, especially the people in Tuyuhun directly used Chai Shao's name to scare disobedient children.

Has been guarding Longyou in the west of Beijing, and has a great reputation.

Lu Huairang was very afraid of this brother-in-law, and even Uncle Dou Guo was a little afraid of Chai Shao, his niece and son-in-law.

"If you see General Chai, you must be careful. My brother-in-law is somewhat similar to Uncle Dou Dadu."

Dou Dadu naturally refers to the former Yizhou Xingtai servant of the new Yizhou Dadu who shot Dou Gui. This guy is notoriously ruthless.

When he first came to Yizhou to take office, in order to impress everyone, he even deliberately used his brother-in-law's head to intimidate everyone.

Others are following the law privately, covering up and favoring my brother-in-law, but this guy is good, my brother-in-law is using it to make an example of others.

"Is this the same for General Chai?"

"Ah."

"Impossible, General Chai's brother-in-law is the current prince."

Lu Huairang was a little embarrassed, who made you think about it.

"I didn't mean that. I just want to remind you that my brother-in-law is quite strict. In front of him, don't make random packages and military orders. You must not talk too much, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

The ruthless people are more powerful than the other.

"You said that we have already entered Qinzhou, will we encounter Turkic people? The last time Su Guogong's eldest son Cheng Chumo came to deliver orders to General Chai, he met more than a hundred Turkic people riding in Longzhou."

"Don't be afraid, we have more than 100 riders. If you encounter a small group, you will be wiped out immediately. If you encounter a large group, you will run."

Huaiyu thought to himself, if someone ambushed or made dumplings, the long history of the camp, as well as the prince's uncle and brother-in-law will all be captured alive, and even the four tigers of the Xue family over there will be two counties. As for the county magistrate, this net is really full of big fish.

The morning breeze blows,

The sun hasn't risen yet,

Huaiyu and his party took advantage of the cool morning and set off in the dew. Yesterday they ran 160 miles, but today they only need to run [-] miles to reach Fuqiang.

Halfway through Tianshui, the state city of Qinzhou.

Along the way, more than a hundred riders were all wearing armor, even Huaiyu was wearing chain mail and vest, and put on an iron helmet on his head.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and they didn't encounter any looting Turkic rangers. They took a break when passing by Qinzhou, and inquired about the situation on the front line. By the way, they added some food and grass. Cavalry escorted them.

It seems that Uncle Dou Guo is also a little worried about being ambushed by Turkic rangers near the front line.

Going westward along the Weishui River Valley, I finally arrived at Fuqiang County before dark. From a distance, I saw this not-so-large county town in the valley. The Tang army gathered here, and it became the base camp to resist the Turkic invasion.

When Chai Shao heard that they had arrived, he specially sent someone to greet them.

"Lieutenant Chai Zhewei of the Longyou Xingying Camp follows the order of the head of the camp, and is here to welcome Dou Changshi, several director Xue and Lu Changshi," the young captain with bright armor crossed his hands and saluted.

"Which one is Wu Huaiyu, who is in charge of the school's medical affairs?" He glanced behind Dou Yun and other generals.

Huaiyu stepped forward: "The next official is Wu Huaiyu, I have met Captain Chai."

Chai Zhewei glanced at Huaiyu condescendingly, "You also go to see the general!" After speaking, he turned his head and left, as proud as a little rooster.

Lu Huairang whispered to him, "This is Chai Fuma's eldest son, this kid didn't even call me uncle when he saw me, his eyes grew to the top of his head, no big or small."

Huaiyu had already guessed his identity, but it didn't matter, someone in the court was good at being an official, not to mention his mother was the late Princess Pingyang Zhao, the No. Huo Guogong is camping in Longyou, this young master is naturally in a detached position.
