Chapter Six Elders (Additional update for leader Li Renjun)
After entering Suizhou, it was already early August, and the weather suddenly became cold.
When Suizhou built a new government office, the old government office remained empty and was cleaned regularly.
When the rooster crows, Shao Shude wakes up, holding Zhao Yu's smooth and delicate body in his arms.
Reliving old dreams is nothing more than that.
Sixteen years ago, the ambitious young military leader and the woman he kidnapped had a family for the first time.
After sixteen years of ups and downs, where is Xia Sui's romantic figure today?
Zhuge Shuang passed away with a smile and some satisfaction.
The Tuoba family in Youzhou has been wiped out, and now only the old Tuoba Sijing and his nephew are working hard in business.
Linghu Jing, Zhou Rong and other Xiazhou Yamen generals have long since passed away, and the old General Pei of Yinzhou also died a good death.
Yang Yue of Yuduole City is still strong, but he is also approaching the twilight years of his life.
The turbulent Guanbei has changed the fate of many people. Some people are rising like the rising sun, some are falling like shooting stars, and more people are unknown, living their own inconspicuous but cherished peaceful life.
Zhao Yu allowed the man to play tricks on her chest, and she may have remembered many past events.
"I was in this bed back then. Every time I woke up and saw you sleeping next to me, I felt that the world was not so bad."
"It was in this room that year that I was going to Xiazhou to meet Zhuge Shuang. Lady Yu, you picked out a gift for me."
"It was here that Yu Niang taught me the format of official letters and wrote countless forms for me."
"Life is like a dream, and time is ruthless. It has been sixteen years, and you are still with me, Yuniang. It's good."
Zhao Yu was in a daze, but also seemed to have some understanding. The man around her was infatuated with her, maybe not just because of her beauty, but also represented many deeper things.
But so what? Can we distinguish clearly the years, people and things we have spent together? Is it necessary to distinguish them?
She gently hugged Shao Shude, bit his ear, and said, "I have no regrets."
If it hadn't been for the voices of people gradually rising outside, thunder from the sky would have set off the fire on the ground again.
"Last night?" After getting up, Shao Shude hesitated.
Zhao Yu gently changed Shao Shude's clothes and said softly: "I'm not that old yet. After so many years, my life has been perfect, so what if I have another child for my husband?"
"From now on, please call me Lang Jun, and don't call me King again."
Zhao Yu smiled and refused. She was not a dissatisfied woman. The princess was a good person, and good people should not be harmed.
After freshening up and eating, the two of them went out, got on the carriage, and headed straight to the west of the city.
After the carriage had traveled two miles, Ye Li Kecheng, who was dressed in silver armor, approached and said, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Shao Shude hummed and took Zhao Yu's hand to get out of the carriage.
Countless tents have been set up outside Mengtian's tomb, and party members who came from Hengshan are busy at work.
The officers and soldiers of the Tielin Army also set up camp on the banks of Dali River (Dali River).
Nori Nosugatomi, whom he had not seen for many years, also came, bringing many of his nephews with him.
"Your Majesty, I haven't returned to Lingzhou for many years. I miss you very much." Ye Li Jingchen said with a smile.
"Doctor Yeli's body is still very strong." Shao Shude said with a smile.
Nori Susukaomi is actually only in his early fifties, but the lifespan of the Tibetan people is like this. They live a hard life and are approaching their final years. However, Nori is rich now. With recuperation, he may be able to live a few more years. It depends on him.
of good fortune.
"If I hadn't hidden Qingxiang and that old guy was dead, I wouldn't have been able to die." Nori Noriomi laughed.
After that, let the children of the Yeli family behind him come forward together and salute Shao Shude.
"The king is conquering the country, but the Nori family can enjoy wealth and honor with peace of mind if they don't bleed. They are all good men and have good martial arts skills. Let's go with the king this time." Nori Susuki pointed at the disciples and said.
"Okay!" Shao Shude looked at these Hengshan disciples, who were generally between fifteen and twenty years old, and said with emotion: "If Lingxia and his father are so generous and dare to fight, what do I have to fear? These sons, please follow me first.
I will go north, and if there is any shortage in the Heijin and Golden Sword armies, I will fill them in. From now on, as long as we fight hard, we will be rich and powerful."
Ye Li Kecheng turned his attention to his grandson Ye Li Kecheng.
To be honest, he is not very close to his grandson because they don't meet much. Most of the time, Yelik Chengdu lives in Prince Xia's palace and is almost his half-adopted son.
Now it seems that the Yeli family has no choice but to pass it on to Yeli Yulue, and Yeli Ke becomes father and son. Maybe this is not bad. If the king of Xia conquers the world, this is how the Yeli family will prosper.
The starting point is that he may not be able to see this day.
On the sixth day of August, the army continued to move north and arrived at Lisuo Rulin County in Yinzhou on the 12th.
Before entering the city, farmers harvesting millet and wheat on both sides of the post road fell to the ground.
Shao Shude ignored the dissuasion of his soldiers, walked to the roadside in person, helped the farmers up one by one, and said: "We are all Guanbei elders, there is no need for this."
"But Prince Lingwu?" An old man squinted his eyes and discerned carefully.
"Does Mr. Zhang recognize me?" Shao Shude asked.
"I don't know." the old man replied.
Shao Shude smiled and said: "I am the king of Lingwu County. The elders of Yinzhou have transferred food and salary for many years, and their children have joined the army, which has helped me a lot."
The old man wanted to speak but stopped.
Shao Shude asked curiously: "What's the matter with Mr. Zhang? Tell me. As long as I can do it, I will solve it for you today."
This old man looks to be in his sixties or seventies, but his real age is probably in his early fifties. It is unusual for farmers to work hard and look old.
"Your Majesty, please help me find Brother Wang Quan. Several of us are from Yunzhou. We started a rebellion with King Huang and fought in the north and south. After being captured, we came to Yinzhou and took root. Later, we fought Tuoba with Your Majesty.
Sigong has been living in Yinzhou Township since the fight." The old man said: "He took his wife and children to Huizhou many years ago. There is no news anymore, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Shao Shude called the civil servants and asked, "Who is Wang Quan?"
The civil servants were also confused. Perhaps only Chen Changshi knew about this matter, but he went to Lingzhou and couldn't find anyone at the moment.
After many inquiries, someone finally checked the archives, found some useful information, and came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Wang Quan lives in Kushui Township, Dingxi County, Huizhou, and resigned from the post of commander of Yongdu in the township last year.
The eldest son Wang Jiao is a general in the Baoyi Army and is currently stationed in Huojia County to confront the Wei army. The second son and three sons are all studying Confucian classics in the prefecture and county. The family has one hectare of land and twenty acres of garden."
After hearing this, the old man was overjoyed and turned around and shouted: "Brother Wang Quan is still alive. What a bullshit commander he is in Huizhou. He is so powerful. His cheap son has also made his mark and become a military general."
"Can Wang Quan also be a commander? God has no eyes."
"Is it cheap for a son to be filial?"
"I've been worried about this bitch for more than ten years, but I haven't heard from him at all. I didn't expect him to look like a dog."
Several farmers in their forties or fifties, with beards that were mostly white, started shouting, their words were vulgar, but their expressions were cheerful.
Shao Shude was also very generous and directly ordered his soldiers to move the case over and put out the melon and fruit wine utensils. He said: "How can we not drink after hearing the news about our old friend? All of you have served Tuoba Sigong with meritorious service.
People, it’s better to drink together.”
A few of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and with a sudden heartbeat, they came over and sat on the ground.
Shao Shude poured wine for them personally, then picked up the wine bowl and said: "I haven't been back for many years. I am very happy to see the elders in Guanbei. I will do it first as a token of respect."
Everyone drank and the atmosphere was lively.
On the post road not far away, the army with bright armor continued to move north without stopping.
Even closer, a group of people in purple clothes looked at each other and waited quietly.
The flower-like palace lady came over, holding a wine flask and pouring wine gently.
"I don't dare bother you, Princess." Everyone said humbly.
Mrs. Shang Gong Xiao blushed and retreated silently.
"Back then, I led troops from Suizhou to Chang'an, fought bravely, and earned back such a beautiful woman. How about it?" Everyone gets drunk without drinking. Shao Shudel drank several bowls of wine and was already tipsy.
Close the door.
Mrs. Xiao's face turned even redder. King Xia fought bravely on her for a long time last night.
"Back then, we fought against the Yellow King, those..." Someone looked lost in memories.
"Zhang Dahei, what are you doing with those useless things?" someone scolded.
Shao Shude chuckled, they were all veterans of the Chao Army who had fought for many years, and maybe some low-level officers, no wonder they were so courageous.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Li Zhong walked closer and whispered.
When everyone heard this, they stood up one after another and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine."
"When I become a big deal, I will come back and have a drink with the elders." Shao Shude also stood up and looked at the setting sun in the distance and said.
The princess sighed and lowered the curtains of the carriage.
As soon as he returned to Guanbei, my husband became a little sentimental. Sitting on the ground with farmers and drinking wine seemed a bit absurd, but if word spread, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Every move of a big shot, even if it is done rashly, may be political. The Guanbei fathers are the most powerful supporters of their husbands. With them around, anyone who wants to cause chaos or attack must think carefully.
The carriage rumbled and continued to move forward.
That night, Shao Shude arrived in Yinzhou and stayed in the city.
Wu Zang Qingxiang led 20,000 Dangxiang disciples to camp on the other side of the Wuding River. After hearing the news, they crossed the river overnight.
Shao Shude had dealt with them in advance. This time, heading north, the chiefs of the five tribes of Yinshan, Dijin Zeweicai, Hengshan Yeli, and Wuzang tribes will all be present, because Shao Shude will be in Fuyun.
Dui Ancestral Hall Alliance.
Fuyundui Temple is one of the most important totems of the Turks. Meeting an alliance here is of great significance, so we dare not neglect it.
And on this day, Li Keyong also left Jinyang with tens of thousands of troops and headed north to Yunzhou.
He was so close that he didn't have to set off so early, and it was still very early before the agreed approximate time. But he was someone who couldn't rest, and besides, the situation in Yunzhou Grassland had not been very peaceful in the past two years, so he arrived early and took advantage of the situation to do some sweeping.
It's not a bad thing either.
On the same day, Zhu Yanshou personally supervised the soldiers and horses of Lu, He, Chu, and Haozhou, and entered Shouzhou westward, intending to avenge his previous humiliation.
Qu Zhang and Liu Cun led the troops of Huang, Qi and Shu to attack Anzhou with great momentum.
The situation in various places is turbulent and it is simply a mess.
