It's spring after the New Year, and even the wind has become much warmer and no longer biting. Song Wen led the horse through the streets and quietly looked at the Bianliang market where he had lived for a long time.
Although several people have all changed into civilian clothes, the leather belts around their waists and official boots on their feet still prove that these few people are probably military attachés of the imperial court. Now that the Northern Expedition is about to begin, these thieves are in high arrogance. The dandies and scoundrels in Bianliang see them.
They also started walking around.
After all, the current backer of these traitorous troops is the ambitious Tong Guan. Tong Guogong now hopes that these traitorous troops can regain Youyun so that he can be crowned king and prime minister to shine...
"Langjun, Wazi Street... do you want to go and have a look?"
An Wen shook his head: "Forget it, there's nothing to see... Let the brothers in Bianliang prepare some money and food to see if there are any helpless sisters and turtle slaves who have escaped from Wazi Street... Don't let them
If you fall into the hands of those rogue guilds, please help if you can..."
An Chun nodded: "I understand, brother, don't worry!"
After crossing the Bianhe Bridge, you can see from a distance that there are now a lot more military patrol shops in Bianliang, especially in the area of Maxing Street. It seems that Emperor Zhao Ji was always worried about the Manichaean rebellion in Bianliang.
.
Song Wen looked carefully at the majestic Genyue Garden... When he left, Genyue only had a rough structure! Now, after several years of construction, there are already tall rockery rocks, cornices and ancient trees.
Song Wen looked at Gen Yue in the distance with an expressionless face. The people next to him didn't know what his husband was thinking...
"Lang Jun, would you like to visit Coach Lin?"
Song Wen shook his head... "Forget it, even if you want him to come to Denmi Erzhou, let's wait until he gets married! His wife... is extremely smart, but she is not a person who cherishes blessings! She is resourceful and unstoppable...
…Just like Zhao Shenyan’s wife Ping Niang back then, she calculated too much and ended up with nothing…”
Before Song Wen finished speaking, he heard the sound of the leather boots of two alert guards behind him scraping against the ground and their palms shaking their scabbards... "Who is that?"
Song Wen looked back and couldn't help but smile bitterly... Things in this world are really such coincidences!
A woman wearing bijia was looking at herself coldly. Behind the woman stood a slightly stout man, holding back a smile and looking at him...
Zhao Shenyan, and his wife...Ping Niang!
Song Wen raised his hands in embarrassment and said with a smile: "The spring breeze brings warmth, so it turns out that I met old friends by chance, two virtuous couples... Isn't it nice not to see each other for a long time?"
Ping Niang snorted coldly, her plump forehead was still smooth and white, and a trace of anger flashed behind her pair of red phoenix eyes... "Don't dare, how dare our couple dare to pick a fight with Song Qiaohe, the popular figure in front of Gao Dian Shuai? A little slander, just treat it as nothing.
Just hear it..."
An Chun suppressed a smile and signaled to the two vigilant country soldiers next to him not to be nervous, and then took a few steps back to let Song Wen talk to his old friend.
Song Wenshan smiled and said: "That's great hahaha... You two are very well informed. I am a martial artist, not a direct descendant of the imperial army. I just go to a remote place to live my life..."
Ping Niang sighed... "Back then, we were blind and couldn't see that Mr. Song was what he is today... Otherwise, we wouldn't have become more and more tit-for-tat with Gao Dianshuai and ended up with no name."
Song Wen nodded: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise? Now that the Forbidden Army is in the hands of Duke Tong Guantong, a war in the North is imminent! If Brother Zhao gains power, won't Lady Ping be worried?"
Ping Niang smiled calmly... "I have given up the idea of letting him build a career. I just need to inherit his job and live a stable life. This time... my husband and I learned that Song Langjun was going to Mizhou to take up his post.
, I would like to ask Mr. Song... if my husband asks for a position in the Xiang Army in Mizhou, can Mr. Song accommodate him?"
Song Wen was stunned for a moment and wondered: "Mizhou... is there any use for Brother Zhao? Brother Zhao has a military title, so coming to my place... wouldn't it be an injustice to his status? After all, he is a Xiang army...
…Not as good as the Forbidden Army!”
Zhao Shenyan patted his wife's arm and said to Song Wen: "To be honest, a certain family has been in the Forbidden Army for more than a year, and Yu Houxiang was so panicked at the Ministry of War... I originally learned that I was going to Taoshan this time.
The county sent Song Xiandi a promotion order, and I was very happy to ask Shangguan to let me go for a trip! Alas, even this kind of thing has to be fought over based on seniority... You know, I am most impatient with this kind of thing
Yes! So I had a quarrel with Shangguan... The job of accompanying the army to escort baggage and inspecting the post station was also cancelled. I was so angry that I reported illness and went home!"
Ping Niang smiled bitterly and said: "Bianliang, it's hard to say enough! The generals no longer have the momentum of the past. The remaining people are all focused on their own interests. The positions in the Forbidden Army that have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds are being snatched up by a group of people all day long.
Go...it seems like we are just waiting for the Song army to march north to the Liao Kingdom to grab the credit!"
Song Wen sighed indifferently, and Ping Niang continued: "After all, living around in Bianliang is not an option. I went back to my parents' house and begged my eldest brother to see if I could find a position for my husband-in-law outside Beijing. After all, my husband-in-law is a man of military skills.
My ability... it shouldn’t be a problem to clean up the military camp and train soldiers!”
Song Wen nodded, looked at Zhao Shenyan and said: "If it's possible, Song would be very happy, but...most of my Qingshan Battalion will be brought to Mizhou. Originally, I knew only a little about military training. Do you know that I, too, are all brothers and sisters?"
They are the disciple soldiers that I rescued from the homeless beggars near Hebei Road these years! So... we have always had our own unique way of leading troops and training in these years, which is different from other generals in the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Shenyan nodded: "Ping Niang also discovered just now that these guards of yours are very good! They can almost be compared with the guard battalions of the veterans of the Western Army. They will react immediately when outsiders deliberately approach them!
I’m afraid even the showy guards at the front desk may not be as vigilant as this..."
Song Wen nodded... "I treat them as brothers! But there are clear rewards and punishments... You also know that I am the best at management and have no shortage of money! So I will also give them some additional monthly subsidies, so...
…The court’s military training methods may not be suitable for them!”
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhao Shenyan's face, but Song Wen continued: "But have you, Dengzhou Soldier and Horse Envoy Yang Zhi, heard of it?"
Zhao Shenyan's eyes lit up: "I heard that it turned out that he was just an envoy of the palace commander's palace! Later, he was promoted by the palace commander Gao, and was recommended to Dengzhou as a military commander! Unexpectedly, there is also Song Xiandi in this?"
Song Wen said with a smile: "It's hard to talk about it, I just mentioned it to Gao Dianshuai! Yang Qianji himself has served in the palace commander's mansion for many years, I'm afraid Gao Dianshuai also has the intention to praise him... Dengzhou Soldiers and Horses Envoy has two thousand troops.
, the five subordinate guards have more manpower than I have here! But there are no lieutenants who can read and write. If Brother Zhao wants to go to Bianliang to practice... Dengzhou is probably a good place!"
