Some things are unpleasant to recall, but only by learning to recall can we grow.
After Hu Sanniang stayed tenderly in her husband's arms for a while, she finally melted away the shadow of the past and continued: "If our third brother hadn't arrived in time and broke the arrow and sworn an oath, Hujiazhuang would have been washed away by Song Jiang's leader! As soon as Zhuangzi was broken
,jade
If we both die together, the two of us will not be where we are today. That’s why I deliberately collected the broken arrows of our third brother and hid them like treasures. On these two broken arrows, I entrusted the good and noble members of my family.
Your life is really no small matter!"
Wu Song nodded and said: "I will never forget the great kindness I received from others! It's just like that!"
Hu Sanniang said again: "It's not my turn as a woman to intervene in the matters between you men, but - you stay with our third brother and fight all over the southeast, northwest, and I can feel relieved; but if you follow that
Song Jiang, even in my sleep and dreams, I will be on tenterhooks! Now that I have given birth, I can no longer bear the fear. Second brother, if you don’t believe me, for the sake of your unborn child, leave that filial piety.
Kurosaburo, please stay away!"
When Wu Song heard this, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky. He had already forgotten all his worries. He only carefully supported Hu Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, you actually have a child?"
Hu Sanniang nodded shyly and said urgently: "Keep your voice down, don't let outsiders hear it!"
Wu Song jumped up and danced under the kang for a while, as if he was crazy. Finally, he gave Hu Sanniang a hug and said: "Don't worry, Sanniang, no matter what, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
"You rest in peace and rest, I'll go ask Dr. An to come back for advice on how to calm the fetus and regulate qi!" After saying this, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but help her lie down, and Wu Song himself danced happily all the way to toss An Daoquan.
Hu Sanniang looked at Wu Song who was leaving happily like a child, smiled, sighed, and whispered: "I hope you can listen to me and put aside that naughty son Song Jiang, it will be a lifelong blessing for our family!"
Chao Gai's sudden departure from home caused an uproar in Liangshan, but after the wave passed, there were no sequelae. At this time, the benefits of Chao Gai's decentralization of power finally became apparent. The people in Liangshan, who were accustomed to the leader not taking power, should
There was no confusion about what to do or what to do. Time passed day by day, and it finally entered February.
The first month of the fifth year of Zhenghe was not peaceful. The Song Dynasty launched a large-scale military campaign against Xixia. Xihe's military envoy, the famous Xizhou general Liu Fa, led a total of 150,000 infantry and cavalry out of Huangzhou, and Qin Feng's military envoy Liu Zhongwu led 50,000 troops.
In Huizhou, Tong Guan led the main force of the Chinese army to station in Lanzhou to support the two groups.
When Liu Zhongwu led his troops from Malei Shanxi to Qingshui River, they were blocked by Xixia and could not advance, so they built a city and left troops to defend and return; Liu Fa led his troops to Gugulong (this very Western place name is located in the north of Ledu County, Qinghai today)
, launched a fierce battle with the Xixia army on the right side. As a result, the Xixia army was defeated and three thousand soldiers were beheaded. After the war, Liu Fa built Zhenwu City here and kept troops to guard it.
The Liangshan spy in Kaifeng Prefecture sent a secret report - because of the achievements of the Western Expedition, on Gengwu Day in February, Song Huizong issued an order to use Tong Guan to lead the affairs of the six provinces. At that time, Yongxing, Yanyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, and Jing
Originally, Xihe each had its own envoys to appease the troops, but this time Tong Guan was in charge, so all the authority over the Western Army belonged to Tong Guan.
Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, two traitors, took advantage of the fact that the officials were happy after winning the battle, and put forward the slogan of eradicating evil and calling on Song Huizong to take advantage of the victory to pursue them - but not to attack Xixia - but to clear out the people who were defeated by Liang Zhongshu last year.
Liangshan Mooring. At that time, Liang Zhongshu had no warships to conquer, so he could only look at the water mooring after driving north and sigh with excitement. He had no choice but to withdraw his troops, which made Cai Jing and Gao Qiu happy, but secretly gritted their teeth.
One of the two traitors wanted to avenge his cheap brother-in-law Murong Yanda, and the other wanted to avenge his brother Gao Lian. After a month of work, they gathered a batch of good wood from all directions and prepared to build a warship and attack Liting in Liangshan to clear out the holes.
He also selected a general named Liu Menglong - when this man was born, his mother dreamed that a black dragon flew into the
When he grew up, he knew the nature of water well. He once fought against thieves in Xichuan River and was promoted to the commander of the army. He led 15,000 naval troops and 500 boats to guard the south of the Yangtze River and helped Zhu Meng search for flowers and stones everywhere.
Gang, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others belong to the same group - now everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind of an imperial edict from the official family.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji had always obeyed Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's advice, but this time he rolled his eyes and refused to agree to their plan to conquer Liangshan. Why? It turned out that Huizong fell in love with Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu got those things
Wood. These good woods
Building a warship is really a waste of materials - Liang Zhongshu defeated Liangshan first, and Tong Guan defeated Xixia again. This just shows that his family is prosperous and blessed by the Three Qing Dynasties. These good wood materials should be used to build a magnificent palace as a Taoist ancestor.
Liuyun lower house is the right thing!
But he was embarrassed to say this to the public, so Huizong secretly sent a message to his two concubines, asking for this batch of wood to build a Baozhen Palace. Cai Jing and Gao Qiu had to smile bitterly after hearing this. The official family was considered a good one.
Yes, I'm still willing
They politely discussed it with the two of them, which was polite, but the two of them could not regard being polite as luck. So the two of them presented this batch of wood, and when Huizong was very happy, they proposed to use official money to buy civilian ships for expedition.
purpose.
Huizong got such a large amount of good wood, and he imagined that Baozhen Palace, a castle in the air, was half completed. He was very happy, so he agreed to Cai Jing's proposal to use official money to buy civilian ships without thinking, and at the same time added in a routine:
"Assign your ministers to take charge and follow your orders. Do whatever you can, but be careful not to harm the people."
Cai Jing and Gao Qiu hurriedly bowed down and said repeatedly: "I don't dare!"
The great eunuch who was serving beside him, Yang Jian, the governor of the Changhua Army, couldn't help but smile: "Official sages know very well that both the old Taishi and Gao Taiwei are loyal and good people who protect the country and the people. How can they be willing to harm the people and shake the foundation of the country?
If you just use words to make fun of me, how can you two take it seriously?"
After Huizong heard this, he laughed loudly: "Exactly! Exactly! Yang Qing knows me!" He ordered the young eunuch to help Cai Jing and Gao Qiu up. Everyone was happy.
Liangshan's secret spies gathered this information for eighty-nine years and urgently reported to Liangshan. Ximen Qing was in charge of the military affairs, so they gathered everyone to discuss. Song Jiang said: "What should we do if Brother Chao Gai doesn't make a decision on such a big matter?"
Ruan Xiaoqi said carelessly: "Brother Song Jiang is too trivial! Brother Chao Gai usually ignores everything and leaves brother Siquan to take charge of the matter. Isn't it true that victory is an instant success? If any officers and soldiers dare to come and die tomorrow, all Brother Siquan will need to do is raise his eyebrows.
As soon as a plan came up, we sent them into the depths of the water to feed the fish, so that we can show our majesty in Liangshan!"
In the Juyi Hall, many people cheered in unison after hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's majestic words.
But Song Jiang stubbornly said: "Brother Siquan usually leads the army, but it is brother Chao Gai who pays homage to Jintai. He has the destiny and obeys the people's will, so he can defeat the enemy. Now that brother Chao Gai is going to Dali, who will give the order? It should be noted that
If the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly, if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished, and the war will be fierce and dangerous, how can we be careless?"
Ruan Xiaowu heard this and said: "What Brother Song Jiang said makes no sense. Brother Tianwang doesn't know whether he is walking on the road to Dali or has been chased by his brothers and is pulling him back to Liangshan - if he comes back,
Of course he is Amitabha, and he is very good. If he cannot find it, why don’t we just stop fighting?"
Wu Yong coughed and was about to show off his speech and eloquence, but unexpectedly bumped into a young man named Tan Ma from outside, shouting: "Commanders, leader Wang Dingliu is back!"
Being intercepted like this, Wu Yong's words were stuck in his throat, and he almost choked him to death. As a last resort, Zhiduoxing transformed into a Zhiduo orangutan, stretched his neck, and expelled all the impurities and diseases.
They all swallowed it hard, and after removing the knot in their throats, they asked Song Jiang gently: "Is there King Chao Tian by your side, Chief Wang?"
Tan Ma's little minion shook his head: "No! The leader of the king is just an empty body."
When Song Jiang heard this, he felt a mixture of sadness and joy. His eyes were filled with tears and he said: "Brother Tianwang has decided to leave and never come back. What should we do?"
Wu Yong hurriedly protected Song Jiang, and while he was comforting him, Huo Shanpo Wang Dingliu had already rushed into the Juyi Hall.
I saw that Wang Dingliu's face was full of dust, and his whole person had become darker and thinner. Even his legs were thin. When he saw everyone, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He turned over and fell to the ground, putting his head on the ground.
But it's hard to say a word.
Everyone hurriedly helped him, and Dong Ping asked: "Brother Xian, why are you like this?" After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves: "Do you still need to ask? Brother Wang must have failed to find Brother Tianwang, or he found Brother Tianwang but couldn't bring him back, so he was embarrassed and couldn't see everyone.
Son."
Sure enough, Wang Dingliu said: "I have been wandering for more than a thousand miles on the road to Dali these days, asking around in many places. What I am ashamed of is that I can't find any trace of Brother Tianwang - I am incompetent, please forgive me!"
Ximen Qing comforted him with warm words: "Only in this mountain, there is no place in the depths of the clouds. Those who seek hermitage will not be found. How can we blame our brothers? Brother Wang's journey through mountains and rivers has no merit but hard work. Please go back and wait for me, brother."
We are preparing a grand feast to catch the wind for you!"
Everyone was talking: "That's right! Looking for someone along the road is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you find someone, it's luck, but if you don't find it, it's bad luck. What's the point of not punishing someone? Brother Wang, just let go of your arms and drink happily."
stop!"
Song Jiang asked again: "If we can't find brother Chao Gai, can brother Wang see brothers Dai Zong and Shi Qian?"
Wang Dingliu said: "Brother Shi Qian and I have not seen each other since we parted ways, but we have met Brother Dai Zong twice. Brother Dai Zong's magic has traveled all over the road. It is really hard work!"
Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other and sighed. This is exactly:
What does it mean to be dignified in front of others? Who can be respected if you arrogantly seize the honor? But I don’t know what will happen next. Let’s listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
