Laughter and laughter were heard in a large tent in the Fengzhou military camp, and 300 newlyweds sat together and drank wedding wine together.

A few days ago, Yang Yuanqing informed the generals of the three armies, all those who have not married a wife above the brigade marshal can sign up to marry the palace maid, that day Liu Wuzhou sent three hundred palace maids, all of them graceful, good looks, innocent net worth, and they are all perfect daughters, so that the generals of the Sui army are all excited, so those who have not married a wife enthusiastically sign up, all want to marry the palace maid as a wife, there will be more than 200 people who signed up for a time, Yang Yuanqing will be part of the unmarried relatives of the soldiers, make up 300 people.

Make a note of their names, tie them with a red rope, and send them to 300 palace maids to be selected at will, and they have become 300 pairs of couples, and the husband and wife worship each other to get married.

The big tent is the captured Turkic Khan's tent, which can accommodate a thousand people to dine together, three hundred tables are set up in the front, a couple sits together, and the rest of the generals sit on both sides, a plate of roasted delicacies is delivered, a pot of wine is placed on the table, the sea of meat and wine, and the laughter is noisy.

Yang Yuanqing raised his glass and smiled at everyone: "It stands to reason that you should marry the Ming media, and there are steps such as welcoming each other, but now is wartime, everything can only be simplified, but the Ming media is marrying, I am everyone's matchmaker, you can go back and tell your parents, Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, is your Ming media, and you are also marrying in the Fengzhou military camp, this is the first time that the military camp is open to ban, here, I wish you all love and love, grow old together, please drink this cup of wine." ”

In a burst of laughter, everyone drank the first glass of wine, Yang Yuanqing raised the second glass of wine and said with a smile: "This cup of wine should be my wife's toast to the brides, but she is not in the barracks, I can only do it for me, I want to tell the ladies, your husband is the pillar of the Fengzhou army, and he will be the important minister of the country in the future, and he will be knighted, and it is your blessing to marry them as his wife, you will not regret today's choice, I salute you with this cup of wine, you are my sister Yang Yuanqing If you are deceived by your husband, you can sue my wife, But I also hope that you will respect your husbands and give birth to your sons early, and this glass of wine is a toast to all ladies. ”

Yang Yuanqing drank the second glass of wine, and all the brides also took the wine glass and drank it shallowly, Yang Yuanqing waved his hand again, "Take it!" ”

I saw three hundred soldiers come up one after another, each carrying a plate in his hand, and a green cloth wrap was placed on the plate, and the soldiers put the parcel on each person's table.

Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "This is the dowry that I give to all the brides as my brother, you can take a look." ”

Everyone was extremely curious, and they couldn't help but open the package, and suddenly exclaimed, each package was a gold ingot of fifty taels, five pearls, two pieces of jewelry, and a bronze mirror, everyone was the same.

The whispers in the tent suddenly rang out, and the women exchanged their heads and talked about their jewelry.

Yang Yuanqing also sat down, Li Jing poured him a glass of wine, and said with a slight smile: "Back then, your grandfather also married a hundred palace maids of the Chen Dynasty for his subordinates after breaking Chen, is this imitating the ancestors?" ”

Yang Yuanqing was stunned: "My grandfather is also so rich? ”

Li Jing nodded, "He was also impeached by the imperial history for this, saying that he bought people's hearts, but the first emperor did not blame him, and the court was not allowed to discuss this matter again. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "These generals are the pillars of my world, how can I not encircle them well." ”

"yes!"

Li Jing sighed and said: "The lord must be gracious and powerful in order to win the hearts of the army, and the general manager can marry his subordinates and let them form a family, this kindness will be remembered by everyone, but I think this time the wife is a bit simple and hasty, and the chief manager should go back and then handle it for them." ”

Yang Yuanqing stared at the wine glass for a long time, and said with a faint smile: "They have been with me for many years, and I don't know when I will die on the battlefield in this Eastern Crusade, so I will solve the lifelong chalk for him as soon as possible, leave them offspring, and leave a vein of open meat, which can be regarded as an explanation from me to the brothers." ”

Li Jing was silent, and he understood Yang Yuanqing's painstaking efforts to make his generals marry.

Yang Yuanqing drank all the wine, and when he turned around, he saw Luo Shixin on the other side depressed, so he patted him on the shoulder, "I'll let you pick one yourself, why don't you do it?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head, "When I see them, I think of my dead wife, I don't want to marry again." ”

Yang Yuanqing sighed in his heart, and slowly persuaded him: "I know that you value love and righteousness, but at least you should also leave a descendant for yourself and a cigarette for the Luo family, this is the filial piety of the son of man, what do you say?" ”

Luo Shixin bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it later!" ”

"I will ask your sister-in-law to take care of you and marry a daughter of a good family for you."

Luo Shixin nodded silently: "Thank you, senior brother!" ”

Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Cheng Yanjin's body, and when he saw that his face was full of joy, he couldn't help laughing, this kid finally got married.

Among the three hundred groom officials, only Cheng Biting Jin made great contributions to the capture of Fenyang Palace, Yang Yuanqing specially allowed him to choose by himself, Cheng Biting Jin picked among the three hundred beauties for a long time, and his eyes were picked, and finally he selected a bride who he thought was the most gentle, the most beautiful, the most virtuous, and the whitest skin from the three hundred.

Cheng Yanjin's bride's surname is Xiang, named Qiushui, eighteen years old this year, a native of Dong'e County, Jibei County, and the same township as Cheng Yanjin, which is also the key reason why Cheng Yanjin chose her among the last five.

After a night of kindness, Cheng Yanjin knew that she was the daughter of Xiang Chongshan, a big landlord in his neighboring township, and he knew it since he was a child, and it was also a good match, which made him pity the bride even more.

Xiang Qiushui sat next to Cheng Yanjin, drank a few glasses of wine, and looked even more beautiful, she took the initiative to cut meat for her husband and pour him wine, waiting for Cheng Yanjin to be very happy.

Cheng Yanjin took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to her, "This is what my father left me, only the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family has it, you take it to Jiuyuan County to see my mother, she will recognize you." ”

Xiang Qiushui accepted the jade pendant, she smiled and said: "Please rest assured, the concubine will definitely take care of her mother, I don't know if the husband still has anything to bring back to his mother with the concubine?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin raised his head and thought for a long time, and then slowly swallowed a piece of jade from his arms...... "This is my reward card for this meritorious service, you can go to the Yamen of Jiuyuan County to withdraw 10,000 hanging money, and the lady will take it together!" Give it to your mother for safekeeping. ”

Xiang Qiushui took the jade plaque and said with a shallow smile: "Husband, don't you want to use money?" ”

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, "Anyway, after tonight, I won't be allowed to drink, if there is no alcohol to drink, I don't need huā money, and besides, I still have military salaries, and I will use a little more when I really use the money." ”

"But I heard that the military salary is paid to the family."

"Really? I don't know yet. ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly regretted a little in his heart, although he was not allowed to drink, but he also needed money to visit the Qinglou, and he couldn't be empty-handed He wanted to get the reward jade card back, but Xiang Qiushui had already put the jade card away, so he couldn't open this mouth.

Xiang Qiushui smiled and filled him with a glass of wine, "The husband should focus on his career and make more meritorious contributions, my mother and I will rely on you in the future, as well as our children in the future." ”

"Hmmm! I will. ”

Cheng Yanjin picked up the wine glass, quickly glanced at the gold in the package next to him, and had to find a way to get it over, but Xiang Qiushui took a piece of jewelry from the package and gave it to him: "This piece of jewelry has been collected, if you are in a hurry to use the money, you can use it to exchange it for money." ”

Cheng Biting Jin was bitter in his heart, and hurriedly stuffed the jewelry back to her, and said with a dry smile: "This is your dowry, you can take it yourself, and besides, the jewelry is for women, and I will be laughed at if I hold it, and men generally carry a gold ingot." ”

"Thank you husband for being considerate of the concubine, I plan to honor these dowries to my mother as a meeting gift to her old man, if my husband needs money urgently in the future, you can write a letter back, and I will ask someone to send the money."

Despite saying this, Xiang Qiushui still quietly stuffed a pearl into his hand, he had just gotten married, how could he really not give him any money.

After the three hundred couples drank the wedding wine, they all went back to their own mandarin tents, they were the last to get together tonight, and they will be separated tomorrow.

Yang Yuanqing went to the big tent of the Chinese army, and he ordered people to invite Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, Qin Qiong and other major generals to discuss the matter of attacking Taiyuan in the south.

This time to exterminate Liu Wuzhou, the Fengzhou army got a total of 80,000 soldiers, to the old and weak to keep the strong, and finally reorganized to get 50,000 troops, all the officers above the brigade commander level, were drawn from the Fengzhou army to be promoted to a higher level, with the five counties of Hetao sent to the armor and equipment, day and night training.

It's just that it takes time to train soldiers, and it's time to attack Taiyuan.

"Everyone, I just received news from Chang'an, Li Yuan sent his brother Li Shuliang as the main general, Liu Hongji as the deputy general, Pei Lin as the marching Sima, and led an army of 20,000 to rescue Taiyuan, if you consider the garrisons of the counties in Hedong and the soldiers of Taiyuan, Li Yuan's army in Hedong has a total of 100,000 people, and we only have 80,000 people, but our powerful cavalry is incomparable to the other party, so this time against Li Yuan's army, I am ready to give full play to the advantages of cavalry and win with speed and timing."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "This time I plan to divide into two armies, the southern army is 30,000 cavalry, commanded by me, and the northern army is 50,000 troops, led by Li Sima, I got the information that the enemy army has moved all the materials of 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: "Despicable and ruthless!" ”

Yang Yuanqing said to everyone again: "And my 30,000 cavalry, I plan to divide it into five armies, I will lead 10,000 cavalry as the main army, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry will be divided into four armies, each with 5,000 people, and General Pei will be the first army." ”

Pei Xingyan immediately stood up and saluted: "Humble duty, obey the order!" ”

"General Su is the second army!"

Su Dingfang also stood up: "Obey!" ”

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: "Chief, what about my 10,000 troops?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled: "You lead 10,000 troops, under the control of Li Sima, and occupy Huoyi County for me, Huoyi County is the throat of the entire Hedong, and your army will defend this county ......."

Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, he thought that he was letting him guard Mayi County, if his army went south, wouldn't Mayi County be empty.

Yang Yuanqing seemed to understand his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "If Li Yuan's army wants to come and seize Mayi County, I can't ask for it." ”

Li Jing frowned slightly, he understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, but there was a loophole in Yang Yuanqing's deployment.

"Governor, if Mayi County and Yanmen County are empty, will Wei Dao'er take the opportunity to plunder the population, and he suggests that General Yang Wei guard Mayi County and Yanmen County, and as for Huoyi County, he will send people to guard it."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, in fact, he wanted to use Mayi County and Yanmen County as bait to lure Li Yuan's army north, but he really didn't take into account Hejing's power.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Then revise it, according to Li Sima's plan." ”
