Chapter 1941: Visitation
Hexi Dingwu is in deep trouble, when Wuping Mansion is cloudy, Xishan Yunshan Mansion is peaceful, and Chu Huan's mood these days is also quite comfortable.
After taking Yunshan Mansion, Chu Huan immediately sent a few people to attack other cities in Xishan, the Qin army stationed in other cities was already weak, and the Northwest Army since the pass, even the battle success, it can be invincible, often the Northwest Army has not yet arrived under the city, the city gate has been opened, and the few defenders have abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The capital of the Qin State has been lost, it is not a country, and the main force of the Xishan Army was first defeated under the Northwest Army, and then surrendered to the Northwest Army, and even the soldiers and horses stationed in the capital city were subdued by Chu Huan, and there was naturally no will to fight in other places, although there were a very small number of people who still had the heart of loyalty to the Qin State, but the general trend had gone, and they were unable to return to the sky, either surrender, and those with a harder backbone fled to Hexi before the Northwest Army arrived.
Chu Huan's policy of leniency towards the gentry since Tongzhou began to make the Northwest Army almost scratch the resistance when it swept through Xishan, but there were some fierce homeless people who were reckless, and they only felt that Xishan was turbulent, and it was a good time to gather people and horses and loot everywhere, and it was also quite a bit of momentum for a while, but the Northwest Iron Cavalry sent by Chu Huan killed several times in a row, wiped out several bandits, and attacked ruthlessly, and the order of Xishan was quickly restored in a short period of time.
The people of Yunshan Mansion City also began to return to their old life after spending a short period of panic and anxiety for ten days, although Yunshan Mansion City still has soldiers from the Northwest Army patrolling, people were still a little nervous at first, but this tension soon disappeared, the Northwest Army was strictly disciplined, and there was no offense against the people, and the people in the city quickly adapted to such a scene.
Yunshan Mansion is a prosperous city, shops gathered, a few months ago, Yunshan Mansion was still in a cloud, many people have packed up their belongings, ready to find an opportunity to escape from this land of right and wrong, Feng Poyu forced money and grain in Yunshan, but also made many gentry feel that the disaster was coming, and when Chu Huan entered the city, the continuous measures to reassure the people were implemented, people knew that Yunshan was still a treasure of feng shui, that is, the officials in the city, Chu Huan still continued to appoint, and everything seemed to have no change.
Many people understand that if there is chaos today, the Central Plains is full of smoke, and the people in the north seem to be far happier than the people who are under the robbery of the southern Tianmendao, although many people know that the northern land is now also full of soldiers, but for the Northwest Army, many people are full of confidence in their hearts, and they only feel that the West Mountain under the control of the Northwest Army will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the Northwest Army, which has strong combat effectiveness, will never let other armies attack Yunshan Mansion, compared with other places in the north, Yunshan Mansion is like a paradise in the northern land.
In addition, because of the lack of troops, the Northwest Army recruited soldiers in Xishan, and now the soldiers are in chaos and there are many refugees.
Chu Huan had always been worried about money and food, but now he has quite enough grain and grass in his hands, and it is not difficult to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Chu Huan was clear in his heart, although after entering the customs, he had completely occupied and controlled Xishan Dao, and Anyi Yuan Chongshang had also become a subordinate, but the war had only just begun, there were still Hexi Dingwu in the north, as well as the Qingtian King of Hebei, and even the powerful Liaodong Army, these will be the opponents he will face next, even if he really controls the north one day, there are still nearly a million people in the south of Tianmen Dao, even if it is a rabble, it is not easy to deal with.
Although the northwest is the foundation of Chu Huan, but now Yunshan Mansion is the base camp of Chu Huan's war, Yunshan Mansion is huge and majestic, the city is solid, and the geographical location is extremely important, so after occupying Yunshan Mansion, Chu Huan immediately ordered Tongzhou to transport the grain stored in Tongzhou to Yunshan Mansion.
Seeing a large amount of grain and grass transported to the city of Yunshan Mansion, those strong men who were conscripted were in a good mood, with such a rich stock of grain, they naturally did not have to worry about having no food to eat when they became soldiers.
At dusk, a carriage stopped in front of a big mansion in Yunshan Mansion City, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen, Chu Huan obeyed the carriage and got down, and then stretched out his hand to help the plump Linlang get down from the carriage, turned around and looked up at the door, before turning around and asking with a smile: "This is Old Man Xu's house." ”
Linlang smiled and nodded, Qi Hong had already come up with two people from behind at this time, holding a large box and a small box in his hand, Qi Hong personally stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted: "Old lady Xu is in the house?" ”
The door soon opened a crack, and a person looked out of the door, and saw Qi Hong in armor, a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Before Qi Hong could speak, Linlang had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu is in the mansion?" ”
"Mrs. Fu is looking for the old lady?" The man looked at Linlang, saw that Linlang was delicate and gentle, and said softly: "The old lady is in the house, but she is not in good health for the past two days, and she will no longer see guests, is there anything wrong with Mrs. Madame?" ”
"You go and tell Uncle Xu, just say that Su Linlang is coming to visit." Linlang said softly: "I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want to ask to see him today." ”
"Oh?" The man lowered his head, as if thinking about something, "Su Linlang, hey, this name is so familiar!" Suddenly thinking of something, his body shook, and asked, "You are the one who used to be with Sheng Quan!" ”
"It's Linlang." Linlang smiled.
"Su Dongjia, you please come in!" The servant showed excitement, seemed to have forgotten the report, and immediately opened the door, at this time, he had already seen Chu Huan standing behind Linlang with a smile and a group of cavalry guards on the street, and even saw the two tall guards next to Chu Huan holding large and small gift boxes, knowing that it was not a bad thing, and his voice was even more stammering, "The old lady is in the house!" He turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and report to the old lady, just say that he and Shengquan Su Dong's house have arrived, no, just say oops!" For a while, it seemed a little hurried.
Linlang's whereabouts, although Yunshan Mansion may not be known to everyone, but the Xu family is very clear.
When Linlang's father was still alive, the Xu family cooperated with the Su family, one of the industries of the Xu family is to operate a restaurant, the largest Quanjusheng restaurant in Yunshan Mansion is the industry of the Xu family, in addition, there are several small restaurants, and because of this, the Xu family needs a lot of wine every day, and all along, the Su family is the Xu family's wine supplier.
The relationship between the two families is harmonious, and since then, when Linlang is in trouble, how many old customers in the past have fallen into the ground, but the old man Xu still supports the Su family, when Linlang can not make wine because of lack of food, the old man Xu transferred out his own grain storage to support Linlang, Linlang is naturally grateful to the old man Xu, and later Linlang sold the industry and transferred it to the northwest, and the old man Xu also helped a lot, and after Linlang arrived in the northwest, he also sent someone to send a letter to the Xu family and kept in touch.
Chu Huan made new salt in the northwest, Linlang was responsible for the sales trade, and in order to repay the friendship of the Xu family in the past, he handed over the sales rights in the Yunshan area to the Xu family, and the Xu family also benefited a lot.
In fact, many people in the Xu family know that the female proprietor of He Shengquan back then had married Chu Huan, the governor of the Northwest.
Now that the Northwest Army occupies Yunshan Mansion, everyone knows that the Northwest Army is the army of the King of Chu.
Chu Huan entered the house with Linlang, Qi Hong took two guards into the mansion with a gift box, the mansion has already gotten the news, I heard that the king of Chu came with his wife, and he was really flattered for a while, forty or fifty people in the mansion ran out one after another, and when they saw Chu Huan, they wanted to kneel down, but Chu Huan was kind and pleasant so that everyone didn't have to be like this, the eldest son of Mrs. Xu was nearly fifty years old, and he was excited, but he was also quite a little frightened, and learned that Chu Huan and his wife were going to visit Mrs. Xu, and immediately led them to Mrs. Xu's courtyard.
Mrs. Xu is nearly seventy years old, winter is coming, but she is suffering from the cold, she was overjoyed when she learned that Linlang came to visit, and she insisted on getting up, but before she got up, Linlang and Chu Huan had already arrived in the house, and when she saw Old Man Xu, Linlang immediately stepped forward and saluted, but Chu Huan also stepped forward and saluted, and Old Man Xu hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" Struggling to get up from the bed, Linlang had already stepped forward and said softly: "Uncle Xu, it's cold outside, you lie down, Linlang just came to visit today, and Uncle Xu took care of him in many ways, and Linlang has always remembered it!" ”
Although Mrs. Xu has a rich family, but after all, he is just an ordinary businessman, Chu Huan is now the king of Chu, Linlang is the wife of the king of Chu, and her status is noble, but she deigned to come to visit, and Mrs. Xu was in tears for a while, "It was just a small thing that was the size of a sesame seed back then, but it made you remember it to this day, and the old man is ashamed!" ”
Linlang helped Mrs. Xu sit down, and said softly: "How many people not only didn't save them when they saw death, but fell into the ground, only Uncle Xu helped, how could Linlang forget this kindness?" He asked again, "Uncle Xu, how is your old body now?" ”
"When people get old, they don't use them much." Old lady Xu smiled with tears: "Now as long as the weather is cold, this bone will hurt, and I can only lie down and get through!" ”
"What did Lang Zhong say?" Linlang said with concern.
"I've seen a lot of Langzhong, but this disease has accumulated over many years, and it's not easy to cure it. And the old decay is so old, so I don't care! Before he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying scream suddenly came from outside, just like a desperate roar when a person was on the verge of death, the sound came very suddenly, these four times were very quiet, the terrifying scream of this life came from outside, Chu Huan heard it very clearly, and immediately turned around and frowned.
Chu Huan could understand that although the voice was loud, it was obviously a little distance, not in this courtyard, the voice was too weird, and Linlang's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but when Old Lady Xu heard the voice, his face changed color suddenly, and his eyes immediately showed worry and pain.
