Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 96: Carnival in Mi County

Mingyue and Fu Xuan's troops have arrived in Shanxian County (Shaanxian County is surrounded by Weishan Mountains, "according to the elbow and armpits of the Guanhe River, and the main points of the Quartet", it is the throat between the west of Henan and the Weihe Plain. Named after "Shaan", when passing Xiaoshan (located in the west of Henan Province, south of Lingbao City and Shanxian County, and the extension to the east is called Mangshan), the army fled on a large scale, more than 3000 People's troops, more than 800 people ran away at once, including more than 300 veterans...

When Fu Xuan counted the soldiers, he found that most of the remaining ones were members of the Fu family, most of the ones who escaped were newly recruited from outside, and those veterans who escaped were all defeated soldiers who had been taken in before. Let them have a meal It's okay to stand guard, but it's basically unrealistic to go to war and march long distances.

Mingyue got out of the carriage and put on a "curtain hat" (a hat designed to hide the face and prevent passers-by from peeping, usually made of soap gauze, with a wide eaves around it, and a drooping silk net or thin eaves under the eaves. silk, which grows up to the neck, to cover the face)" This can save a lot of trouble... Mingyue walked to the tent where Fu Xuan was, Fu Lan carried a basket of food in his hand, Fu Mei followed slowly with a pipa on his back, Along the way, Mingyue saw the twinkling eyes of the soldiers, which contained curiosity but more of indifference, and even resentment...

Mingyue guessed that they should know the cause and effect of this expedition to Chang'an. Because of the difficulty of the process, the bright prospects advertised when recruiting recruits at the beginning were obliterated by the dangers along the way, leaving only resentment towards herself, the instigator...

Mingyue felt obliged to ask about the current situation of the army, so she got out of the carriage and went straight to Fu Xuan to ask.

When Fu Xuan saw Mingyue in the distance, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his frowning face.

Seeing Fu Xuan's smile, Mingyue seemed to have calmed down a lot from her nervousness, but for some reason, she felt a pain in her heart, because Mingyue knew very well that Fu Xuan was patrolling almost day and night to prevent deserters along the way. Under such circumstances, he could still smile calmly at himself, how could Mingyue be indifferent and not feel guilty?

Mingyue is very clear about the composition of her army. The recruits are twice as many as the veterans, and they are all recruited temporarily. Many veterans are also the defeated soldiers of other Jin Dynasty armies that Fu Yu took over, and they are not really loyal. The Fu family, and the soldiers of the Fu family looked down on these two groups. The contradictions and estrangements were increasing with time. Because of the hasty dispatch of troops, there was no time for large-scale training and long-term cohabitation, so The hearts of the people cannot be united, and no matter how much you keep an eye on it, it is futile. Sometimes even the veterans who pat their chests to ensure that they complete the mission are the ones who take the lead in fleeing, so Fu Xuan has hardly had a rest recently. Mingyue is really worried that Fu Xuan will not be able to hold on, and even more worried The army in front of me dispersed before reaching Chang'an...

Mingyue came to Fu Xuan's side, took off the bamboo hat on her head, looked at Fu Xuan quietly, hesitated to speak...

Fu Xuan looked into the eyes of the little girl in front of him. Those beautiful eyes were full of deep worry. That worry was not the anxiety of a child, but a kind of anxiety that made people feel that they were really worried about all the soldiers. Of course, Fu Xuan also truly felt the concern for him in Mingyue's eyes. This kind of caring look made him suddenly have the illusion of deja vu...

Mingyue noticed Fu Xuan's strangeness, and said worriedly: "Brother? What's wrong with you?"

Fu Xuan was brought back to reality by Mingyue's call, and what he saw was a very young and immature face, Fu Xuan realized that he had lost his composure...

Fu Xuan smiled awkwardly, and laughed at himself: "Your Highness, Shihong is rude, I hope the princess will forgive me..."

Seeing a 9-year-old man apologizing to herself, Mingyue couldn't stand it, so she hurriedly asked, "Is the elder brother bothering about the desertion?"

When Fu Xuan heard that Mingyue was helping him out of the siege, he felt infinitely moved, nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Hey, it's Shihong who is incompetent and has no way to manage the army..."

"Brother, don't blame yourself. We raised our troops hastily. When Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, raised his troops against Qin for the first time, there were deserters from time to time. As long as we find out the reason, we will be able to reach Chang'an smoothly."

Fu Xuan looked at Mingyue in surprise, and blurted out: "Do you have a solution?"

"Well, severance!"

"lay off!!!????"

"That's right, instead of staring at it, it's better to gather everyone together, first understand the righteousness, and then move on if you want to, and give them part of the military salary if you don't want to, let them go, I thought about it, Fu The clansmen of the Clan will definitely stay, and most of those who leave are recruits, and we don’t need too much false momentum. Even if all the members go, what is the value of 3000 people? Why let too many lives for what we call What about the death of your ideal?"

"To die for our ideals? 3000 people are going to die? Mingyue! How could you have such an idea???!!!!"

Mingyue was left speechless by Fu Xuan's questioning, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes. Mingyue really wanted to tell him that I was so scared... If he knew how worried I was these days, would he forgive my fear? ?

Mi County East Gate

A large number of people and soldiers gathered at the gate of the east city of Mi County. Everyone raised their heads and looked at a head hanging high above the city gate. Everyone fell into carnival, some wept loudly, some Laughingly, most of them are reviled, especially those who have been murdered by the thieves in the family, even shouting the names of the dead relatives loudly. All kinds of suppressed emotions are vented to their heart's content. The center of the earth also seemed to be activated, and everyone was shouting the names of Sima Ye and Li Ju, and the owner of that head was none other than the handsome thief Houdu who had made them tremble recently!

Qin Wang Sima Ye stood at the top of the city, watching the excited people shouting his name, and the name of Li Ju, the prefect of Xingyang (also the prefect of Ruyin, who was appointed by Sima Yue), and the young Sima Ye of Qin. He didn't feel anything wrong, he just felt excited now, a kind of excitement from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he felt that he was a hero, a great young hero, he had never seen such an exciting scene with his own eyes , but in the heart of the young man, he had dreamed countless times. Everything has become a reality today. Even the regret of not being able to go to Chang'an, he completely forgot at this moment. Sima Ye only had eyes for these people who worshiped him...

Li Ju was also on the tower. Although he was a little happy, when he heard that his name was cheered by the people together with the name of King Sima Ye of Qin, the joy on Li Ju's face slowly disappeared, replaced by It is deep worry, even an inexplicable fear...

There was no emotion on Xun Fan's face, he was just listening quietly, he needed to support his own nephew and planted a curse on Li Ju...

Xun Fan's eyes kept searching under the city tower, until he saw a few familiar faces trying to incite the ignorant people, then he nodded in satisfaction...

Xun Zu secretly glanced at the silent Yan Ding, feeling very proud, let's see, want to provoke the relationship between our Xun family and the King of Qin?Dreaming, yesterday I could praise you Yan Ding, today I can praise Li Ju, hahaha, just wait and see!

Xun Zu looked at Li Ju while secretly complacent, and said silently in his heart: Li Ju, you have to climb higher, the higher the better, higher than Qin Wang Sima Ye, hahahahaha, at that time your Everything belongs to our Xun family...

Yan Ding's face was a little pale, but he was confident that no one would be able to see his haggardness. When the news came that Li Ju had broken the capital, he still had some disbelief.When the head of the handsome thief Houdu was delivered to Sima Ye, king of Qin, Yan Ding had a feeling that his position in Mi County had collapsed...

Yan Ding looked at the people under the city tower, but his heart had become cold, Yan Ding could no longer hear any voice, and there was only one voice in his mind: You must leave this place!

But Yan Ding was not reconciled, did he just give up his position to Li Ju?Did you just leave in such a disgruntled manner?No!I, Yan Ding, will never be so useless!But what can I do?Today's Li Ju is no longer something he can shake...

At night, Mi County is rarely brightly lit, and every household is celebrating. Even a large number of refugees have joined this celebration. The government even provided them with a ration of relief, which made all the people temporarily forget that there is still With Hu Bing by his side, he may die at any time. Living in such precarious days, the common people also need to anesthetize themselves. Living, especially living in this era is really painful...

Li Ju returned to his mansion, and was greeted by his wife Wei Shuo (Wei Shuo, styled Maoyi (AD 27239), born in Anyi, Hedong (now north of Xia County, Shanxi). Family. Wei Shuo is the wife of Li Ju, the prefect of Ruyin, known as Mrs. Wei in the world. The Wei family has worked for generations. Mrs. is the first teacher of "Holy".).

Mrs. Wei (readers, please allow me not to call her Mrs. Li, but to respect her historical name, Mrs. Wei, thank you for your understanding here.) Looking at her husband frowning, she asked with concern: "Why is your husband like this?" sad?"

Li Ju looked at his beloved wife, and there was endless affection in his heart. This woman has never left him since she married him. She has accompanied him all the way to the north and south. It can be said that the piano is harmonious, and the case is equal to the eyebrows. Such a respectful married life also makes Li Ju have no internal worries, especially not long ago, his beloved wife gave birth to a Lin'er for him, named Chong. Because of the war, he was worried about what he had. Unexpectedly, that's why I drew up a character for the child early, called Hongdu, and it was Li Chong's character Hongdu (Li Chong was a famous writer, literary theorist, and bibliographer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born around the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and died in the upper limit of Not earlier than 39 AD, the lower limit is about 362365 years. During the Jin Cheng Emperor, the Prime Minister Wang Dao called him to be a 掾. The Zhuanji Office joined the army. He also served as the county magistrate of Shan County, Dazhuolang, and was ordered to sort out the classics. Later moved to Zhongshilang, died in office).

Li Ju didn't say much, just hugged his wife lightly, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said softly: "Shuo'er, I miss you so much, I miss you so much!
