Chapter 8: Seeking to Rebuild the Old Land (I)
Summer in Yanzhou is particularly unbearable.
Not only because of the scarcity of trees, but also because of the scarcity of trees, the smoke of burning charcoal from each household permeated the sky over Yanzhou City, and some people even used that kind of black and slimy stone grease to make a fire to cook rice, and the smell of smoke was even more choking.
This smoky, dizzying place is the city where the plant is located now.
Although he was in his own study, he did not plan to light an incense burner and use incense to resist the pungent smell of smoke like other eunuchs in Yanzhou City, but to be at peace in the smoke and dust.
I still read and write, and I still took a piece of suede and wiped the sword I had just gotten.
The pale yellow suede was dipped in some oil and rubbed it on the two-finger-wide sword. The tip of the sword trembled gently in the wiping, and the blade of the sword, which was as thin as a page, bent freely, and it was actually a rare soft sword.
The body of the sword brushed by the suede is as clear as a pool of blue water, the texture is hidden in the luster and luster, and the blade that is polished just right reveals the coldness of the forest, but such a sharp weapon is as soft as silk satin, and anyone who looks at it is a rare divine weapon.
When he received this sword two days ago, he also tried it once, bent it up, and even put it in a wooden box. And when you take it out, it pops open and stretches straight again. If Guo Kui, who loves swords and is obsessed, sees it, he will definitely regard it as a treasure.
However, no matter how good the sword is, it must be carefully maintained, and it must be wiped with oil frequently, and if there is negligence, it will easily become rusty.
"Captain, the king is out to see." The man came to the study.
"Let him in." He continued to rub his sword with his head down, his eyes focused on the sword with indifference.
A moment later, first the son of the planter, Chongpu, and then a short, rock-solid man appeared at the door. His beard, his eyes were bright, and his cheeks, which had been dark and rough from weather, made it impossible for unsuspecting outsiders to tell that he was only in his early twenties.
Wang Sunchen, who had just been transferred from Xihe Road, walked in with Chongpu before and after.
As soon as he walked in, Wang Sunsin bowed to the seeds: "Wang Sunsin pays a visit to Goro." ”
Goro.
Hearing Wang Sunsin use this familiar title, a smile finally appeared on his cold face.
The son of Chong Shiheng's personal guard, when he was a teenager, he followed Chong Pu as a companion, and had to flee to Qinzhou overnight because he beat the nobleman's Yanei. It's just that seven or eight years have passed, and now Wang Sunchen is already a famous general in Kansai, and he is famous in front of the Son of Heaven with a beaded arrow. The wonder of chance is also the wonder of the world.
It's just that the relationship between the two sides is a little annoying now. Wang Sunchen is considered to be the son of a family, but now he is a general. According to today's world conditions, this reputation is still there, but if you continue to regard Wang Sunchen as a subordinate, you will be an enemy of your in-laws.
Wang Sunchen is the favorite general of the privy deputy envoy Wang Shao, who has made a lot of contributions when he opened the border of the river, and at the same time is commensurate with Han Gang, who will inevitably have a place in the two provinces in the future, and is even more loved by the Son of Heaven with one hand. It's just that the concept of superiority and inferiority is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the world, and how can the seed be an exception? Therefore, my heart has not been able to turn around.
Fortunately, Wang Sunsin's statement relieved the arrogant seed, "Sit! ”
Seeing that his father's attitude softened, Chong Pu also relieved his heart, pulled Wang Sunchen to stand up, and sat down under Chong Ge's hand together.
Chong Pu doesn't have as many tangled knots as his old man. He grew up with Wang Sunsin since he was a child, like a brother. The reason why Wang Sunchen left Qinzhou back then was actually because he was helping him grow seventeen qi. This time, please transfer Wang Sunchen to Yan Yan, although it is the suggestion of the uncle, but if there is no kind of Pu in the back, it will not be so easy to invite the Son of Heaven.
Treating Wang Sunchen well is the unanimous opinion of today's breeders. Not only because Wang Sunsin himself still has great potential, but also because of the important factor of Han Gang behind Wang Sunchen. With the friendship of classmates in Jianzhong, coupled with Wang Sunchen, a friend of life and death commensurate with Han Gang's brothers, he can make friends with Han Gang, not only is it likely that he will rely on him for decades in the future, but now he can have another way in front of Wang Anshi and Wang Shao. It will not be interfered with by the court and China during the second attack on Hengshan.
The farmer has had enough of the suffering of no one in the court. When Chong Shiheng was in the Western Army, everyone compared him to Di Qing. At the beginning, the merits of the two were also similar, and the Chong Shiheng, who built Qingjian City and used the divisive plan, was actually a little stronger. However, Di Qing accounted for a few Zaifu's attention, and in the future, he soared to prosper, and finally relied on suppressing the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, and sat down as the privy envoy. As for Chong Shiheng, the envoy of the East Dyeing Academy, who is the seventh grade of the final official, is only not far in front of him, but he can't step over. In view of this, how could the few people who are now in charge of the family let go of the promising Han Gang and not make friends?
Wang Sunchen sat down, his eyes fell on the sword in the hand of the general, the habit of the military general made him forget the etiquette for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Good sword!" ”
"I only got it a few days ago, and it was made by Xie Liang, a famous craftsman in Cizhou." He said the origin and handed the sword backhanded.
Wang Sunsin took it and looked up and down, and waved his hand twice, shining and flexible like a snake, but the sword body that would not be too soft to hinder the wielding made him sigh, "It's really a good sword!" Only the sword master of Cizhou has such a good hammer head. ”
Holding the sword back with both hands, Wang Sunchen smiled and said, "I wonder what name Gorou plans to give this sword up?" ”
"A sword is a sword! What is the name of a murderous object? With a swipe, the sword was sheathed. As a military general, of course, he also likes to collect divine weapons, but to say that he cares about these swords by heart, it is not necessarily. Raising his hand, he threw the sword to Wang Sunchen again: "You have to remember, think of a good name for yourself." ”
"Really?" Wang Sunchen did not shirk, and got up with a smile and thanked him: "Thank you Goro for the reward." ”
Wang Sunchen looks rough and bold on the outside, but he is a fine person, and he has been accompanied by a kind of simplicity since he was a child, how can he not learn to observe words and feelings. also maintains a sense of proportion, and a little rudeness reveals affection. Among the generals in Xihe Road, his popularity in the army is the best. When you should scold your mother together, you should drink together when you should drink together, and you often call friends to go out hunting, and in the army on Xihe Road, you have formed many iron-clad friendships.
If he says anything that is useless, then he will be divided. Now it's unceremoniously accepted, but it's even closer. Wang Sunchen grew up in Qingjian City since he was a child, and he has been following the seed family for a long time, and he will not think that he can compete with the seed family just because he is in a high position now and has a hard enough backstage behind him. And if it's considered bad character, don't think about going any further.
Accepting the sword, Wang Sunchen sat down happily, "The day before yesterday, I heard that Gorou was going to transfer me to Yanyan, and I wanted to come on a horse that day. In the two years on Xihe Road, the birds have faded out. A bow is full of pheasants and hares, and the better ones are wild deer and wild boars, and occasionally they shoot a big insect and bear, and they are about to beat gongs and drums, and they can't see a thief so that I can practice my hands. By the way, two days ago, I also got a black and white pattern of flower bear skin, my mother said to Da Lang when he fell off the horse in the old time and injured his waist, and the skin of the flower bear is just used to protect his waist. ”
Wang Sunchen said miscellaneously, without seeing anything outside, it was so affectionate that it was a family, and Chong Pu also helped beside him, and he gradually talked more. Looking at Wang Sunchen's attitude, he is like his own son and nephew.
After drinking a round of tea and talking for a while, Chong Ge put the tea cup away, and his expression became solemn: "Wang Sunchen, do you know what I asked you to come to Yanyan Road today?" ”
Wang Sunchen stood up and knelt down on one knee: "Please appoint the captain, the last general will obey!" ”
"It's for Yokoyama." He leaned forward and leaned over to Wang Sunchen: "You also know that from the time when the old lady was there, he was bent on recovering Hengshan, and in the first year of Xining, I tried my best to get Suide City back, also for Hengshan." Five years ago, the Western Army struck a blow from top to bottom and built the city of Nagu, which was already a victory in hand, and who would have thought that it would fall short because of the rebellion of the Gyeongju Army. ”
"It's only one step away...... "Talking about the events of the past, regret and remorse are still full of heart, how good it would be if I could hold on for a few more days?! Seeing that he was about to win the most victories, he still couldn't catch it. Now that I think about it, the fault was that he bet on the wrong treasure and overwhelmed Han Jiang, a gambler who was not worth betting.
"Although you are the capital of Yanzhou East Road, the administrative office has moved to Suide City a year ago. The eleven commanders of the seventh general of the Yanyan Road in Suide City, four thousand five hundred horse infantry, are under your jurisdiction. He said in a deep voice, "I don't want to transfer you here." That is, when you capture Hengshan, you will take the lead for the whole army. ”
In a walled city in the old days, there were usually armies of different sizes, and there were forbidden armies, Tibetan armies, and village soldiers. At present, with the popularization of the art of war in Shaanxi, the troops stationed in the same place are divided according to the area where the troops are stationed, with 3,000 to 10,000 people as one general, and the troops stationed in the same place can be reorganized from then on.
Yan Yanlu is now divided into nine generals, and Wang Sunchen is the chief general of the seventh general as the capital inspector. He was in charge of 4,500 horsemen and infantry, divided into eleven commanders in total. Wang Sunchen knew about these things when he received the order.
"Do you really want me to be a pioneer?! Thank you Gorou for lifting up! ”
Wang Sunsin was overjoyed when he heard this, and jumped up and bowed to the seed and thanked him, not with a little disguise when he received the sword, but from the bottom of his heart, he had been looking forward to the smell of blood on the battlefield for three years.
