When Taichang Yangdan left the palace to go home, he heard that his wife Xin Xianying had gone to the mansion next door. Because her brother Xin Chang came to visit Yang Hu, she also went to Yang Hu's house.
Yang Dan also wanted to sit there. Although Xianying was a woman, she was quite famous among the scholars. After her words spread, people often agreed with them, so Yang Dan sometimes liked to listen to his wife's words.
There is also a nephew, Yang Hu, who has always been the most talented person among the younger generation of the Yang family. In his early years, state and county officials wanted to recruit him more than once.
When Yang Dan came to the front hall of Yang Hu's house, he found that both men and women were drinking honey water together.
Originally, Xin Chang was interacting with Yang Hu, but due to the arrival of the woman Xianying, Yang Huiyu and Xiahou were also present.
Yang Hu brought a bowl and poured honey water for the sheep. The walls of the bowl were cold, and the honey water should have been chilled in the well water. In the hot summer, this was the most common drink for wealthy people, and it was the simplest to make. At that time, Yuan Shulin
This is the thing I want to drink before I die.
Yangdan, who had just arrived, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, so he talked about the court meeting this morning.
Xianying, who was waving his fan, stopped moving his hands and was lost in thought for a moment before sighing: "At the beginning of the year, I heard about the attack on Shu, but the court did not make a big fanfare. Who could have predicted that Qin Zhongming would suddenly attack Shu!"
When I learned about this, I really don’t know whether to be surprised or admired.”
Xianying was not the only one who felt this way, but Yang Huiyu next to her also felt the same way. Previously, because she believed in the knowledge of her younger brother Yang Hu and her aunt Xianying, Yang Huiyu never thought that this battle would be a battle to destroy the country!
At this time, Xin Xianying turned to look at his uncle and said, "I remember my uncle once said that if the general cannot break the sword pavilion, he will be unable to do anything to the Shu Han Kingdom for a while!"
The uncle said: "The general occupied Jiange first and then marched into the hinterland of Yizhou."
He immediately turned around and said, "Looking at the general trend, I previously believed that the time to annex Wu and Shu in recent years was not ripe, and I was not just talking about it. The forces of Soochow have almost retreated to the south of the river, and the main force of the Shu Han has not been damaged, and relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers,
It's hard to rush things.
The Wei army's grain road had to pass through Micang Mountain. Micang Mountain was not as steep as Qinchuan, but it was not as steep as Qinchuan. There was still the Longyou road that could be taken. The Wei army marched from the three counties of Hanzhong to the hinterland of Yizhou. The road was both long and dangerous, almost half way through.
If we can’t get supplies, we can only go through the Golden Ox Path via Jiange Pavilion.”
The uncle thought for a while, and the expression in his eyes changed slightly, "But I didn't expect that the general's troops were in danger, and he actually relied on a large number of crude rafts to drift from the Western Han River. This plan was not only a surprise attack, but also a dangerous move!
Only a general would dare to make such a decision."
Yang Dan also said: "At that time, once the Wei army was at a disadvantage, there was no way out, reinforcements and supplies would be very difficult, and even the general himself would be in danger of his life."
Yang Huiyu didn't say much, but she was very nervous when she heard it. Because the matter had already come to an end, she was only afraid, not so frightened!
She listened attentively and was very interested in what everyone was talking about, but she didn't speak easily, as if she was listening.
Because she is self-aware, what she says now has little weight. Of course there are feelings between relatives, but sometimes there are still differences in importance. People who have made great contributions to the family and are responsible for the future of the family are more willing to listen, even if they are just
Usual joking and chatting; what kind of attitude does a person of little value have, but others are really not very interested!
Yang Huiyu is in such a situation now! She was originally married to the powerful Sima family, but the Sima family has been completely overturned. How much role does she still have in the Yang family and other families? Moreover, in terms of marriage,
There is a big difference between men and women. If a man remarries his wife, he can still marry a lady; but for women, it is different. Compared with those who have been married and those who have not left the court, the situation is very different. Yang Huiyu is even over thirty years old.
Relatives are different from ordinary social situations. At some banquets, because of their glamor and attention, women may become the people whom male guests value making friends with. But it is different at home. What Yang Huiyu looks like is not known to relatives.
use.
Therefore, Yang Huiyu is very knowledgeable. When her relatives get together, she will try to speak as little as possible. Even if she does speak, she will be very concise and will never challenge the patience of others. Of course, with her arrogant temperament, she is not willing to confess herself plainly.
Not fun!
The uncle's voice added: "Ordinary strategies are difficult to achieve, so the general uses surprise attacks. However, the surprise attack on the Western Han River is unprecedented and has never been done. Because of this, the general and the military believe that there is a chance of victory."
Xianying said: "Qin Zhongming has always been cautious and prudent, but he is a man who dares to take risks. When he raised troops in Yangzhou, he suddenly attacked the Sima family with a small number and a large number. Wasn't he also bold in his style?"
After she finished speaking, she sighed: "The general is young and indeed courageous!"
Yang Huiyu noticed that when her aunt talked about Qin Zhongming, she seemed to be in high spirits and her eyes were a little brighter. Even her uncle Yang Dan next to her noticed it and glanced sideways at her.
Xianying did not notice other people's gazes, and recalled: "I have only met Qin Zhongming once, and I was very impressed. He is humble and enthusiastic towards others, but as soon as we met, he actually hit me with hints!"
Xin Chang said: "Young brother was also in the back room of the west hall that time. The general's words were very polite. Why did I remember it for so long?"
Xianying glanced sideways at Xin Chang: "If you are still rude in your words, it will be a lesson. Although he is a general and famous all over the world, I am older than him, so I have not offended him!"
Xin Chang did not comment. After a moment, he added: "When the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace wanted to make the general the Duke of Jin, but the general did not accept it. Now that he has contributed to the destruction of the country, should he accept the title of Duke from the founding of the country?"
Yang Dan nodded slightly and said: "Zongzheng Qin Yuanming also said it outside the Taiji Hall today. Everyone should know about this matter."
Xianying said softly: "Qin Zhongming was eager to destroy the country regardless of the immaturity of the time. Perhaps it was to confirm the status of the Duke and to use this great achievement to convince the public."
When Yang Huiyu heard this, he immediately looked sideways and his eyes flicked over his aunt's face.
This was what Yang Huiyu was looking forward to the most! However, she knew that Qin Liang did not hesitate to risk his life in order to achieve the goal of destroying the country. At this moment, she felt very complicated and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
In fact, the big things Qin Liang did were not mainly for Yang Huiyu, but she didn't want to see him put himself in danger. But when she heard her aunt and others also praise and admire Qin Liang, she felt that it was quite useful. So for a while
My mood is really messed up.
When it came to this topic, my uncle didn't say much. After the founding of the Wei Dynasty, outside the royal family, at most there were only marquises. If we wanted to change the system and found a country, it would not be as simple as just rewarding ministers.
Uncle Yang was very calm. But no one said much. Even at home, some words could only be stopped.
At this moment, Xiahou, who was as taciturn as Yang Huiyu, suddenly asked: "Uncle, has he heard any news about my father in the court?"
Yang Dan shook his head and said, "Xiahou Zhongquan is not mentioned in the memorial."
The uncle finally said: "The messenger has returned from Chengdu. If you ask the messenger, you may be able to tell something."
Xiahou immediately looked at his uncle with pleased eyes.
Yang Dan suddenly said: "What my uncle said is true."
Uncle Yang Dan obviously looked out for Yang Hu's affection, so he said seriously: "Qin Zhongming is not a moody person. He has always followed the rules in the court. Xia Houxuan still did what he did because he had no real evidence of his involvement in everything. Sir, but Xia Hou Zhongquan is different. When he fled to Shuhan, Shuhan was still an enemy of the Wei Dynasty. If Zhongquan had not gone to Soochow this time, he would have been in trouble."
Xiahou said in a trembling voice: "Taichu didn't run away at that time. If my father hadn't left in a hurry, maybe he would have been fine!"
At this point, what else can everyone say?
Suddenly there was thunder outside, and everyone realized that the sky was already overcast. His uncle and aunt said goodbye and wanted to go back. Xin Chang also said goodbye and went to his sister's house.
...Wang Guang sometimes lived in the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion, which was the Tutor's Mansion where Sima Yi had lived before. But today he returned to the Wang family's residence in Yishouli so that he could tell his family about the memorial that the court had just received. Your Majesty.
Not long after the family got together, the sky gradually darkened and thunder began. Your Majesty also left the front hall and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
Xuan Ji lives in the courtyard to the east, and she was not in the front hall just now. However, after Lingjun heard the news, he immediately asked Jiang Li to tell his aunt.
After a while, it really started to rain heavily. Lingjun couldn't find his aunt in the attic hall, so he and Moye walked up the wooden ladder.
Amidst the sound of rain, there was suddenly a sound of sobbing, which made Jun rush forward. Gu also noticed the person, turned her head, and her eyes were red from crying! Mo Xie on the side stared with wide eyes. With Xuan Ji.
At this time, Xuanji wiped away her tears with her wide sleeves and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm just happy."
Your Majesty saw that there was still a piece of paper in Xuanji's arms, so he gently picked it up and read it. It was one of the letters he had received a long time ago. When Qin Liang wrote this letter, he had just arrived at Xing'anting, Jiameng County, and the war had not yet begun. .
Seeing this made Jun feel heartbroken and sad, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears and started crying. Then she took a deep breath and felt a bit salty in her throat, and a warmth flowed through her.
Xuanji glanced at the letter, then raised her sleeves and wiped it. Because of sobbing, her voice was not clear: "When he was in Luoyang, he was worried about the terrain and was afraid of the rolling mountains. He didn't want to go! When he wrote this letter , Zhongming was facing the majestic mountains of Jiangeguan, but in his letter he only mentioned the Si Ma Bridge in Chengdu."
The most heart-wrenching moment was indeed the day when the news of the Battle of Jiange came back to Luoyang.
Lingjun felt uncomfortable, but when he saw Gu like this, he couldn't join in crying. She could only sigh and comforted her softly: "Given Zhongming's situation, before he got a legitimate position, He will definitely not be able to live in peace, and there is no use in trying to persuade him. Now he has finally passed that hurdle, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!"
