Huazhou is the gateway to Chang'an City to the west of Tongguan. Ever since the imperial troops crossed the river, it has become the front line for the confrontation between the two sides. In Fule Town on the bank of Fushui in the east of Huazhou, the two sides crisscrossed each other during the day, and the villagers
I was so scared that I hid at home and didn't dare to come out.
In the evening, the figure of Youqi finally disappeared, and Liu March boldly walked out of his house. His house had some land on the river beach outside the village. It was the time when the wheat seedlings were heading, so he wanted to hoe the weeds in the ground quickly.
Just hoe, otherwise the crop fields will be overgrown with weeds.
Carrying the hoe, I quickly ran to the field. There was still some daylight, so I was able to work.
He was hoeing the field with his hoe, but he forgot to look around. When he raised his head and thought about supporting his waist, he suddenly saw seven or eight cavalry appearing outside the field.
The clothes worn by the imperial soldiers and cavalry were so different from the Qin soldiers he often saw. Although his vision was unclear, Liu Sanyue recognized them at a glance.
I heard that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would not make things difficult for ordinary people, but Liu Sanyue still felt extremely panicked. He quickly leaned over and climbed into the wheat ridges.
It's also strange, how come these cavalrymen keep circling at the head of the field, neither walking away nor making any other movements, they just stay at the head of the field, there is no sound, only the movement of the horses.
After crawling in the field for more than half an hour, night had enveloped the entire field, and the cavalry was still outside the field. Liu Sanyue felt that his body was numb.
His body was numb, and Liu Sanyue didn't dare to move. He could only endure the discomfort and continue to crawl on the ground. Why did these people stay in the field in the middle of the night? It couldn't be because there was something in the field, right?
?
Just as Liu Sansan was wondering and guessing what the cavalry on the ground was going to do, several whistles were heard in the distance, and then he saw a torch rising. The cavalry on the ground saw the movement and reacted.
The horse picked up a lamp and fiddled with it until it was bright, then raised it and drew circles in the air.
The two sides struggled for a long time, and people from a distance came over with torches. When they reached the ground, they heard voices.
Because they were far away and the people over there didn't speak loudly, Liu Sanyue couldn't hear clearly what the two sides said.
I just vaguely heard what General Gao said about Huazhou City, Chang'an City, 40,000 people, Madam Gaoming... More than half an hour passed before the people over there left.
Why were the emperor's soldiers and the soldiers and horses of Governor Sun chatting in the field in the middle of the night? Aren't they at war? Liu Sanyue was full of doubts about what he saw tonight.
Could it be that there is a traitor among the two parties? I don’t know if it’s Governor Sun’s people who want to rebel, or someone in the emperor’s army who wants to rebel. Ouch! Damn it, didn’t he know about such a big thing?
But the secret of beheading! Liu Sanyue was enjoying watching the excitement, but suddenly he changed his mind and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Liu Sanyue, who was paralyzed on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Jun walking away while chatting. Before he could regain his breath, he saw someone walking towards him.
"Where do you live from?" In the darkness, a sergeant held a lantern and shone it on Liu Sanyue's face and asked.
Liu Sanyue replied tremblingly: "Master... Master. Oh, yes, he is from the town."
"Don't be nervous, we are soldiers of the imperial court. You said you are from the town, but are you from Fule Town?"
"Exactly...exactly"
"Okay, don't spread what you saw today. After we leave, you can go home. When you get home, don't run around anymore. Be patient for a few days, and the situation will be better. Remember
, don’t spread anything, you haven’t seen anything today.”
The cavalry team that came over had already seen Liu Sanyue working in the fields. Due to the distance, they didn't think Liu Sanyue could hear anything, so they ignored him for now. They only came to warn him after they finished their business.
Just in case.
After warning Liu Sanyue, the cavalry team left the field and disappeared into the night.
Seeing that the surroundings had returned to pitch black, after waiting for a long time, Liu Sanyue gained some strength, stood up, and limped towards the town. It was said to be a town, but in fact it was a bigger one.
There is no village, not even a city, otherwise there would be no people running to work in the fields in the middle of the night.
After returning home and breathing heavily for a while, Liu Sanyue's heart beat a little slower! It was so exciting tonight. He has never experienced anything like this in his whole life. By the way, General Gao, as they call him
Who is he? It sounds like he has something to do with the imperial court. When he came back to his senses, his mind began to recall what he heard in the field.
In the middle of the night, in a military tent in Huazhou City, several sturdy men and a woman were lighting oil lamps and talking nervously.
"Lao Bai's people said that if I act like Sun Shufa, I won't be able to be a general? Can I only be a lieutenant general?" The speaker was a slightly fat middle-aged man!
"Yes! They said that the quota for the general was very strict, and they asked the emperor to nod in person. But the emperor only agreed to be awarded the title of lieutenant general. However, the emperor also specifically asked that the general be given the title of minister of the Ministry of War.
, and granted the title of second-grade royal decree to my wife."
"The lieutenant general is treating me poorly! Sun Shoufa only has so many people under his command. I have thirty or forty thousand people under my command. To give him to a lieutenant general is really annoying."
The slightly fat man spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone, with a fierce look in his eyes. Then he looked at the woman sitting in the middle and said, "Madam, what do you think?"
"Lieutenant general, in the imperial hierarchy, can be a division commander or army commander, and has more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under his command. There is also a title of minister of the Ministry of War, which was only held by Sun Duchen back then. I think it's awesome!"
The woman glanced at the fat man and expressed her thoughts.
"But when I get to the imperial court, they want me to serve in the Military Command Hall, but I won't be able to lead the troops."
"Mr. Lang, if you have high-ranking officials, what does it matter whether you lead soldiers or not? How many battles have you fought with others in these years? Has anyone seen you before? When you get to the Military Command Hall and become the Minister of War, you will be the real commander.
Officer, there is no difference from those people."
"The officer just sounds nice to me. I don't have any soldiers, so I'm always a little worried. My sons and daughters are the foundation of my life."
"You always say that the foundation of a life is the foundation of a life. I followed you and wandered around. Do you think that our mothers can live a stable life? If the situation was not tense, even Sun Duchen would seize your army. I
No matter what, this time you have to fight for us mothers to be able to come out to the capital and enjoy leisure. You see, Lao Bai, without the army, life is worse? What kind of blessings do you have for your mother-in-law?
Look at me again. I can't leave the military camp every day. I don't even walk with my aunt in the Sun family. How many gossips have been said behind my back? If you raise an issue, from now on the Sun family will be thieves and we will be officials.
"
"Madam, you have been deceived by your identity as a second-grade imperial concubine!"
"What's wrong! I'm going to be the wife of Emperor Gaoming, and you still don't think I can do it? Hurry up and plan the uprising, don't waste time."
