The Lantern Festival reception was not held on the city tower, but in Shao Shude's own residence.
Except for the Feng'an Army, Tiande Army, and Jinglue Army who were stationed far away from Hewei, the Xinquan Army guarding Huizhou, and the Dingyuan Army guarding Lingzhou, all the government generals were basically present.
Chen Cheng, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Zhu Shuzong, the military envoy of the capital, Li Yanling, the military envoy, Lu Huaizhong, the military envoy of Wuwei, Zhe Siyu, the cavalry envoy, Wu Zangjieming, the Yicong army envoy, Cai Songyang, the Tiande army envoy, Zhang Yanqiu, the Zhenwu army envoy, and Tianzhu army
Let Li Tangbin and nine people sit at the same table with Shao Shude.
The deputy envoys of each army, Du Yuhou, and Yamen generals such as You Yishi, sit at two tables. There is another table for the military envoys, the food envoys and the system, plus the ten generals of each army.
Finally, there are the nephews or close relatives brought by the generals, which are basically limited to two major criteria: under twenty years old and not yet married.
So there was a lot of excitement. Regardless of whether he was successful or not, we all brought his children and nephews over to talk about it. Being the son-in-law of a handsome man, the wealth of the family is insured. Even if the ability is average, in the worst case, it will be enough to support him in the future. If he can match the handsome son-in-law,
Building relationships with relatives is the most important thing.
Shao Shude was also very happy when he saw the generals and his nephews gathered together. He couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. He and the generals recalled old things such as the fight against Li Guochang and his son, the fight against Huang Chao, and the fight against Tuoba Sigong. Well, I recently received news.
, Tuoba Sigong had a very unhappy life on the grassland. He was used as a gunman and spent a lot of money in the tribal vendetta. His younger brother Sizhong also died in the battle. Now only Sigong, Sijian and Renfu are left.
“Next month——” After a few rounds of drinking, and seeing that everyone was enjoying themselves a bit, Shao Shude picked up the wine bottle and said.
Zhu Shuzong, Lu Huaizhong, Zhe Siyu and others stopped one after another, looked at Shao Shude, and waited for him to speak. When the other generals saw the movement here, they also stopped making noise one after another.
“Next month, a certain person will lead an army to conquer the rebels on the South West Road of Shannan Province. I believe you all know this already.” Shao Shude walked into the field and subconsciously felt that a spear was missing in his hand.
"Tens of thousands of troops marched straight down Fengxiang, and then headed south. Zhu Mei has already replied to me, planning to raise more than 10,000 troops to attack Wu Ding's army south. In this battle, those thieves must be frightened, make them fearful, and let them hear the order in the future.
The name of the martyred army scared me out of my mind." At this point, Shao Shude raised the wine bottle and said his mantra: "Kill him and your head will roll."
“Kill him and his head will roll!” The generals laughed and raised their glasses to drink together, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Shao Shude returned to the table and realized that he had not drunk too much, so he drank a few more glasses.
"It has been more than nine years, and I finally have this foundation. It has been more than nine years, and I have only this foundation..." Shao Shude took another drink and sighed softly: "Singing to wine, how much is life! For example, the morning dew, the passing sun
Much suffering."
Chen Cheng coughed and said to the maid standing aside: "The prince is drunk. Let's help him take a rest in the back."
The two maids came forward together and helped Shao Shude to the back hall to rest.
Zhao Yu walked over lightly, supported Shao Shude, and whispered in his ear: "Guo'er looked there for a long time and pointed to someone."
“Who is it?” Shao Shude took a breath of alcohol and said, “It doesn’t matter! Even if he is already married, let him divorce her.”
Zhao Yu said angrily: "If it is true that he is greedy for wealth and honor, divorces his wife and remarries, I must not marry him."
"Who is it?" Shao Shude held Zhao Yu in his arms, gently caressed her beautiful face with his hand, and said: "There will be poems later that I need to find my concubine to read and appreciate."
Zhao Yu spat, the last time I tasted poetry, I was fooled. The person who tasted it didn’t know what it was!
“I asked General Li Renfu about Liang Hanyong, who was brought by Envoy Zhang Jun of the Zhenwu Army. He is over eighteen years old and has not married yet,” Zhao Yu said.
"So it's him..." Shao Shude shook his head, recalled carefully, and said: "He is from Taiyuan, and his family is from Hedong Dental School, which is similar to Zhu Shuzong's background. During the Western Expedition to Lanzhou, Zhang Yanqiu mentioned him and killed him.
He is a member of a hundred Tubo households, has several cavalry, and is quite brave."
"In troubled times, marrying a warrior is not a bad thing..." At this point, Shao Shude's eyes became clear and he sighed: "I don't know what will happen in the future. After decades of fighting, it is not impossible to end up with nothing."
.In case I am unfortunately defeated, Liang Hanyong can still take Guo'er to join his sworn brother."
“Your Majesty, what are you talking about again?” Zhao Yu sealed Shao Shude’s mouth with her hand and said, “You still want us two to be robbed?”
“Who the hell dares!” Shao Shude slapped the bed and said angrily.
Zhao Yu chuckled, stood up from Shao Shude's arms, and said, "I'll go and see the fruit."
After saying that, he walked out again.
The next day was a day of spending time. The custom was to drink. Marshal Shao sat on his tiger-skin chair and drank tea. Opposite him sat the dog-headed military advisor Chen Cheng.
"Sun Ru went to Yangzhou, but he did not dare to fight because he was secretly guarding the city. His supplies were plundered by Cai's soldiers."
“Sun Ru attacked Gaoyou again, Zhang Shenjian was defeated, and he escaped with 200 people. Sun Ru massacred the city, and 700 Gaoyou defeated soldiers fled back to Yangzhou. The secret agent suspected that he wanted to rebel, and they all were trapped and killed.”
"Cai's soldiers were brave and fearful, so he ordered Hailing Town to restrain Gaoba and move tens of thousands of households from Hailing to the city. Those who did not obey were punished by their clans."
"When Gao Ba arrived at the city, he secretly suspected that he wanted to rebel, so he killed him. He also sent thousands of cavalry to attack Gao Ba's subordinates, killing thousands of them."
“Xingmi and Sun Ru were defeated in several battles and could not defend Guangling, so they plundered all the goods and sent them to Lu and the two states.”
Chen Cheng finished reading the military report about Huainan and said: "Commander, Cai's soldiers are so brave that no one in Huainan can stop him. This Yang Xingmi is so suspicious and ill. He will kill soldiers who are not his direct lineage at every turn. I'm afraid it will be a huge disappointment. Huainan
, should it be obtained by Zhu Quanzhong?"
Shao Shude was silent. Sun Ru only had ten thousand Cai soldiers, and he could beat Yang Xingmi like a lost dog. Although Yang Xingmi finally defeated Sun Ru in history, the process was also very difficult. He relied on the correct strategy and a little bit of luck.
Sun Ru himself did not want to make progress and had no clear goals. He just lived one day at a time, which eventually led to his defeat.
Shao Shude stood up and walked around the room.
At this point, the overall view has become more and more important. Zhu Quanzhong was still fighting Qin Zongquan in Zhengzhou, so he turned his attention elsewhere, and even got involved in the affairs of the DPRK, sending people to Chang'an every three days.
In recent days, someone even sent a letter to lure the Dingnan Army to attack Hedong, and he would send troops to cooperate.
I believe you, you idiot!
“Is it possible for Zhu Quanzhong to go to Huainan?” Shao Shude stopped and asked.
“The recent feud with Shi Pu of the Wuning Army is impossible for the time being, but his intention to go south should still be there, and he will find a way sooner or later.” Chen Cheng replied.
It is said that Zhu Quanzhong was very excited when the imperial court asked Zhu Quanzhong to take charge of the two towns of Xuanwu and Huainan. He sent Li Fan, the marching commander of the Xuanwu shogunate, to Huainan to serve as the military governor. However, Shi Pu, the military commander of the Wuning army, was jealous.
He thought that the heads of Huang Chao and Shang Rang were dedicated to the imperial court by himself, and they were more senior than you. How could you lead two towns by one person? So he sent troops to attack Li Fan, leaving Zhu Quanzhong dumbfounded - I am now going to attack the Zhu brothers.
, I have no time to take care of you, and you actually jumped out?
"Henan is a confused account. We are beyond our reach. Just make trouble for Zhu Quanzhong. Don't spend too much energy." Shao Shude said: "It seems that the attack on Wu Dingjun must be carried out quickly. If Zhu Quanzhong can get this piece of fat in Huainan, he will
We must find some space to make up for it, otherwise life will be very difficult in the future."
“Commander, do you mean Shannan West Road?”
"It's the Shannan West Road." Shao Shude said: "Admiral Zhuge is kind to me. It is impossible for someone on the Shannan West Road to take possession of it. He must keep the Zhuge family in power. But——"
“Dashuai refers to wealth?”
"Yeah." Shao Shude nodded and explained: "Actually, it's people. Without people, there is no wealth. Is the land owned by Dingnan Army small? Not small! Why is there a lack of goods? No one! Wu Dingjun's three states , as well as the rebel states on Shannan West Road, we can try to find ways to get more people this time. These states and counties are separated from Lingxia by Guanzhong, and Fengxiang is separated from Hewei, so it is impossible to swallow them up. For now The best plan is to get people and property first."
Chen Cheng agreed. In fact, he thought even further. Once the Dingnan Army helped Zhuge suppress the rebellion, he could ask them to provide money and food supplies during future campaigns, which would be equivalent to a small town under his own rule. There were many benefits.
What's more, there is a chaotic war in the middle of Shu. Zhao Jian of Longjian Town has just defeated the rebels in the town. Chen Jingxuan was attacked by Qiongnan and Suizhou Town. He also had conflicts with Gao Renhou from time to time. It was a mess. If there is any future, If you have the opportunity to enter Sichuan, Shannan West Road is an excellent springboard and must be firmly grasped.
The combined wealth of Shannan West Road and Shuzhong is much greater than that of Huainan during the war!
"From tomorrow onwards, we will send someone to inform the Hengshan Party members Xiang Yeli and Wu Zang, and order them to gather their troops to the front line of Kaocheng City."
"Send envoys to Yanzhou and order Li Xiaochang to prepare troops and horses, no less than three thousand, and prepare grain and grass to set off with the army."
“Send an envoy to Yanzhou and order Dongfang Kui to prepare troops, horses, and food and grass. The number shall not be less than three thousand.”
“Over at Xing Ning, let Marshal Zhe calm down for a while.”
“Jingyuan Cheng Zongchu, have you responded?”
Cheng Zong had less than 10,000 Chu soldiers and was weak in strength, but he could not ignore this loyal minister.
"Cheng Shuai said that he has no objection to killing Yang Fugong, but he is not allowed to enter Chang'an." Chen Cheng replied.
"Shuai Cheng's tone of voice is like that of my sworn brother." Shao Shude said with a smile: "I have figured out his thoughts, so I don't need to pay attention to him. I didn't plan to enter Chang'an at first, but I still wanted to go around Chang'an to scare Yang Fugong. , see if he panics."
