There were laughter and joy in a large tent in Fengzhou military camp, and three hundred newlywed couples sat together to drink wedding wine.&&
A few days ago, Yang Yuanqing told the generals of the three armies that all the commanders of the brigade who had not married a wife could sign up to marry palace maids. Liu Wuzhou sent 300 palace maids, each with graceful demeanor, good looks, innocent wealth, and all of them were perfect.
The daughter made the Sui army generals and officials all moved, so those who had not married signed up enthusiastically, all wanted to marry palace maids. There were more than 200 people who signed up for the time being. Yang Yuanqing also sent some of the unmarried soldiers.
To make up, to make up three hundred people.
Their famous books were made into paper, tied with red ropes, and sent them to 300 palace maids to choose at will, and they were matched into three hundred couples. The couple got married. After the three days of the marriage, Yang Yuanqing held a banquet and invited him.
Three hundred newlyweds.
The big tent is the seized tent of the Turkic Khan King, which can accommodate thousands of people to eat together. There are three hundred tables on the front, and a couple sit together, while the rest of the generals sit on both sides, and a plate of baked delicious dishes are delivered.
Come on, a pot of fine wine is placed on the table, with the meat and wine sea, and the laughter is noisy.
Yang Yuanqing raised his glass and smiled at everyone, "Reasonable, you should get married with a matchmaker and have a step for weddings. But now it is wartime, everything can only be simple, but there is a matchmaker for the matchmaker. I am your matchmaker. You can go back and tell me.
Parents, Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou, are your mediators. You are also married in the Fengzhou military camp. This is the first time the military camp has opened a ban. Here, I wish you all the couple love and live together. Please drink this glass of wine.
”
Amid the laughter, everyone drank the first glass of wine, and Yang Yuanqing raised the second glass of wine and smiled: "This glass of wine should be my wife to all the brides, but she is not in the military camp, so I can only do it for me.
I want to tell all wives that your husbands are the pillars of the Fengzhou Army. In the future, they will be important officials of the country and will be granted official positions and titles. Marrying them as wives is your blessing. You will not regret your choice today. This cup
I toast you with wine. You are my sister Yang Yuanqing. If you are bullied by your husband, you can complain to my wife, but I also hope that you can respect your husband and have a noble son soon. This glass of wine toast you all wives."
Yang Yuanqing drank the second glass of wine in one go, and the brides also picked up the glass and drank it lightly. Yang Yuanqing waved his hand again, "Take it!"
Three hundred soldiers came in turn, each holding a plate with a green cloth wrapped in the plate, and the soldiers placed the package on each table.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "This is the dowry I give to all the brides as my brother. You can take a look."
Everyone was extremely curious and couldn't help but open the package, and suddenly exclaimed. Each package contained a fifty tael of gold, five pearls, two pieces of jewelry, and a bronze mirror, everyone was the same.
The stolen discussions in the big tent suddenly sounded, and the women whispered to each other and talked about their respective jewelry.
Yang Yuanqing also sat down, Li Jing poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "After your grandfather defeated Chen, he also married hundreds of Chen Chao palace maids for his personal soldiers. Is the general manager imitating his ancestors?"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "My grandfather did this too?"
Li Jing nodded, "He was impeached by the censor for this. He said that he had won people's hearts, but the late emperor did not blame him and did not allow the court to discuss the matter again. Later, it was left alone. Unexpectedly, the general manager also had the style of ancestors."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "These generals are all pillars of my conquest of the world. How can we not win over them well?"
"yes!"
Li Jing sighed and said, "For the lord, you must use both kindness and power to win the morale of the army. The general manager can marry his subordinates and let them start a family. Everyone will remember this kind of kindness in their hearts, but I think this time getting married is a bit simple and hasty. The general manager
I should have done it for them after I go back."
Yang Yuanqing stared at the wine glass for a while and smiled faintly: "They have been with me for many years. This Eastern Expedition, I don't know when I will die on the battlefield. I will solve his lifelong affairs as soon as possible, leave them descendants and a vein of flesh and blood.
It's an explanation I have given to my brothers."
Li Jing was speechless. Only then did he realize that Yang Yuanqing was eager to get his generals to get married.
Yang Yuanqing drank all the wine. When he turned around, he saw Luo Shixin on the other side being depressed, so he patted his shoulder, "I asked you to choose one by yourself, why don't you do it?"
Luo Shixin shook his head, "When I see them, I think of my deceased wife, I don't want to marry again."
Yang Yuanqing sighed in his heart and slowly advised him: "I know you value love and friendship, but at least you should leave yourself a descendant and leave a cigarette for the Luo family. This is the filial piety for a son, you
What do you say?"
Luo Shixin lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about it later!"
"I will ask your sister-in-law to pay attention to you and marry a good family's daughter for you."
Luo Shixin nodded silently, "Thank you, senior brother!"
Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin. Seeing that his face was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh. The boy finally got married.
Among the three hundred grooms, only Cheng Yaojin made great contributions to the capture of Fenyang Palace. Yang Yuanqing specially allowed him to choose by himself. Cheng Yaojin picked out the three hundred beauties for a long time, and his eyes were blurred. Finally,
From three hundred people, he chose the bride who he thought was the gentlest, most beautiful, most virtuous and most fair-skinned.
Cheng Yaojin's bride's surname is Xiang, named Qiushui. She is 18 years old this year. She is from Dong'a County, Jibei County and is a fellow townsman with Cheng Yaojin. This is also the key reason why Cheng Yaojin chose her among the last five people.
After a night of kindness, Cheng Yaojin realized that she was the granddaughter of Xiang Chongshan, a big landlord in his neighborhood. He knew since he was a child and it was a matchmaker, which made him even more pity for the bride.
Xiang Qiushui sat next to Cheng Yaojin and drank a few glasses of wine, which made her look even more beautiful. She took the initiative to cut meat for her husband and poured wine for him, making Cheng Yaojin extremely happy.
Cheng Yaojin took out a jade pendant and handed it to her, "This is what my father left to me, only the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family can have it. If you take it to Jiuyuan County to meet my mother, she will recognize you."
Xiang Qiushui took the jade pendant, and she smiled and said, "Please don't worry, husband, I will definitely take good care of my mother. I wonder if there is anything else I need to take it back to my mother with me?"
Cheng Yaojin raised his head and thought for a long time before slowly taking out a jade plaque from his arms, "This is my reward plaque for me this time. You can go to the Jiuyuan County General Administration Office to withdraw 10,000 yuan to hang money, and the wife will also
Take it! Leave it to my mother for custody.”
Xiang Qiushui took the jade token and smiled slightly, "Don't you use money, husband?"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, "Anyway, I won't be allowed to drink tonight. If I don't have alcohol, I don't have to spend money. Besides, I still have military salary, so I can pay a little more when I use the money."
"But I heard that the salary and military pay are paid to my family."
"Is that true? I don't know yet."
Cheng Yaojin suddenly felt a little regretful. Although he was not allowed to drink, he also needed money to visit brothels. He couldn't be empty-handed. He wanted to get the rewarded jade plaque back, but Xiang Qiushui had already put the jade plaque close to his body and could not open it.
This mouth.
He smiled at Qiushui and gave him a glass of wine, "A real man should put his career first and make more contributions. My mother and I will rely on you in the future, and our children will be in the future."
"Yeah! I will."
Cheng Yaojin picked up the wine glass and quickly glanced at the gold in the package next to him. He had to think of a way to get it over. Xiang Qiushui took a piece of jewelry from the package and gave it to him, "The husband of this jewelry has been packed, if
If you are in a hurry to use money, you can exchange it for money.”
Cheng Yaojin felt bitter in his heart. He quickly stuffed the jewelry back to her and laughed dryly, "This is your dowry, you can keep it yourself. Besides, the jewelry is used by women, and I will be laughed at by others when I hold it, and men usually
Take a ingot of gold."
"Thank you for your understanding of me. I plan to honor my mother for these dowries as a gift to her. If your husband is anxious to use money in the future, he can write a letter and I will ask someone to send the money."
Even though she said this, Xiang Qiushui still quietly stuffed a pearl into his hands. He got married just now. How could he really not give him any money?
.........
After the three hundred couples had their wedding wine, they all returned to their own tents. They were the last tonight and we would part tomorrow.
Yang Yuanqing went to the central army tent, and he ordered people to invite major generals such as Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, and Qin Qiong to discuss the matter of going south to attack Taiyuan.
This time, the Fengzhou army was wiped out. The Fengzhou army received a total of 80,000 surrendered soldiers, leaving the elderly and weak, and finally rectified the 50,000 troops. All the officers of the brigade commander were removed from the Fengzhou army and promoted to the position.
After using the armor and equipment sent by the five Hetao counties, he conducted training at night.
It’s just that training soldiers requires time, and attacking Taiyuan is no longer time.
"Everyone, I just received the news from Chang'an that Li Yuan sent his clan brother Li Shuliang as the main general, Liu Hongji as the deputy general, and Pei Ji as the marching Sima, leading an army of 20,000 to rescue Taiyuan. If we consider the troops stationed in Hedong counties and the soldiers from Taiyuan,
Li Yuan's army in Hedong has a total of 100,000 people, while we only have 80,000 people, but our powerful cavalry is incomparable to the other side. Therefore, in this battle against Li Yuan's army, I am ready to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry and win with speed and timing.
”
Yang Yuanqing glanced at everyone and said slowly: "This time I plan to divide it into two armies in the north and south. The southern army is 30,000 cavalry, commanded by me, and the northern army is 50,000 surrendered troops, led by Sima Li, I got the information,
The enemy has moved all the supplies from Jinyang Palace into Taiyuan City. Jinyang Palace has become an empty city. Then the base of the Northern Army is located in Jinyang Palace City. Li Sima, you can train the army while confronting Taiyuan City.
.”
Li Jing nodded, "I understand!"
Yang Yuanqing said to everyone again: "Whose 30,000 cavalry is divided into five armies. I will lead 10,000 cavalry as the main army, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry is divided into four armies, with 5,000 people per army, and General Pei is the first.
military."
Pei Xingyan immediately stood up and bowed, "Abide by the orders with humble duties!"
"General Su is the Second Army!"
Su Dingfang also stood up and said, "Abide by the order!"
Yang Yuanqing nodded to them, and his eyes fell on Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin again, "General Qin is the third army, and General Luo is the fourth army."
At this time, Yang Wei hurriedly said, "Master, what about my 10,000 troops?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled, "You lead 10,000 troops to be controlled by Li Sima and occupy Huoyi County for me. Huoyi County is the main throat of the entire Hedong, so your army will defend this county."
Yang Wei was stunned for a moment. He thought he was asking him to guard Mayi County. If his army went south, Mayi County would be empty.
Yang Yuanqing seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled and said, "If Li Yuan's army wants to seize Mayi County, I still want it."
Li Jing frowned slightly. He understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, but there was a loophole in Yang Yuanqing's deployment.
"General Manager, if Mayi County and Yanmen County are empty, will Wei Daoer take the opportunity to plunder the population? Beizhi suggested that General Yang Wei guard Mayi County and Yanmen County. As for Huoyi County, Beizhi sent people to guard.
”
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment. In fact, he wanted to use Mayi County and Yanmen County as bait to lead Li Yuan's army north, but he did not consider the power of Hebei.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Then revise it and follow Li Sima's plan."
