Li Chongjiu guessed Qu Yanran's thoughts and said, "I don't want you. ”
Qu Yanran shook her head and said resolutely: "No, I won't enter the palace with you." I told the queen that Qu Yanran, who is a famous flower under the moon, is Qu Yanran, but Qu Yanran, who has entered the palace, is not Qu Yanran. ”
Li Chongjiu was surprised and asked, "Do you want to spend your whole life under the moon?" ”
Qu Yanran looked at Li Chongjiu and nodded: "Your Majesty, I don't ask to be your concubine, but I will wait for you in Luoyang and keep you clean, but I will not enter the palace with you." If you can, Your Majesty can come out of the palace to see me, and I will wait for you at any time. ”
Li Chongjiu looked at Qu Yanran and said, "Okay, I'll promise you." ”
Qu Yanran cried at the moment and said, "Thank you for allowing me to be willful." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Everyone has their own ideas, I will not be reluctant, the most important thing is to know what I like." ”
Three days later, Luoyang Wharf.
The Wuya big ship was quietly leaning on the shore, and the Zhao army warships were lined up on the side, preparing to anchor.
Under the yellow umbrella, Li Chongjiu stood on the dock in a dragon robe, surrounded by court guards guarding the dock. Xue Wanshu and Shan Xiongxin sent them together.
Li Chongjiu nodded to the two of them and said, "I will return to Youjing this time for a short period of three months or half a year, and I will ask the two of you for the matter of Luoyang." ”
Xue Wanshu, Shan Xiongxin arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, with the two of us, Li Tang's army will not want to take a step out of Tongguan." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "But if Li Yuan does not go out of Tongguan, but sends troops to attack Xiao Miao, what will you do?" ”
Xue Wanshu and Shan Xiongxin glanced at each other, and Xue Wanshu said: "According to His Majesty's orders, send troops to the south to attack Xiangcheng County." ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "It's good if you remember." What if the Tang army sent troops to attack Luoyang? ”
Shan Xiongxin said: "Hold the pass." Wait for reinforcements from Youjing, or wait for General Xu to pacify Shandong. Return to Luoyang. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Okay, you two can just remember these two things." Although this is not the best policy, it is the way to seek stability, and I must ensure that Luoyang is in my hands. ”
After the two agreed together, Li Chongjiu boarded the ship and looked into the distance, but seeing that there were many people in the distance, Luoyang finally left this time and returned to Youjing.
White Wolf Mountain in Liaodong, when Li Chongjiu broke the Khitan here, the traces of the carved stone of White Wolf Mountain are still at the foot of the mountain.
And now there is a dangerous place on the White Wolf Mountain. A majestic city has been built. After the completion of the White Wolf City, it became the seat of the Song Desert Protectorate, and the east of Yuyi Town, Huaihuang Town, became another important town outside the Zhao State. White Wolf City controls the Huo'er Shen Grassland far away, and it has already become a strategic place for Da Zhaoxin.
On the mountain road into the city, a young man is riding a horse, running with excitement. The young man kept whipping his horse. There was a look of excitement on his face.
This person is Wang Shi, the only son of Wang Junkuo, who is only sixteen years old this year. This time, Li Chongjiu finally approved his request and let him come to Liaodong for training.
Now on the mountain road into the city. The bustling crowd was full of people, and there were people carrying baskets and mountain goods. There are also Ding Lingren pushing a high cart and a Khitan with a bald head. A man with a pigtail on his head. When Wang Shi was a child, he went to Huaihuang Town, where his father was stationed, although there were many Hu people. But there are also a lot of Han people, but when you arrive in this White Wolf City, the proportion of Fanhu people here is higher, and you rarely see Han people along the way.
When he arrived at the gate of White Wolf City, Wang Shifang saw the Han army stationed in front of the door.
Wang Shi raised his head, the cliffs on the left and right sides of the White Wolf Mountain stood upright, and the White Wolf City was built between the two mountain cliffs.
Wang Shi had heard Li Chongjiu say that this White Wolf City, this White Wave City is between two mountains, so only two city walls in the north and south are built. The north city wall is more than 800 steps long, up to two zhang, all of which are two heavy inside and outside, while the south city wall has more than 600 steps, as high as one zhang and six, only one heavy outside.
The south of the White Wolf City is stationed in the Shen Ya, Ding Ling, Xi people, these deeply sinicized Fan tribes, while the Khitan tribes and Goguryeo are stationed in the north of the city. However, Wang Shi seemed that the original plan was good, but with the trade between the south and the north, who still abides by the distinction between north and south, many people of various ethnic groups are mixed together.
When I arrived at the city gate, there was a long queue in front of me, all of whom were Fanhan people who were going to enter the city.
Wang Shi jumped off his horse and said to his entourage: "You remember, when you get here, you are not allowed to mention who my father is, and if you leak the news, I will drive you back to Youjing." ”
The left and right entourages are all members of the Wang family, who followed the little young master to join the army. After hearing what Wang Shi said, he agreed again and again. And after Wang Shi heard the agreement, he had already kept looking at the city, and he was full of expectations for his coming to White Wolf City this time.
After lining up for half an hour, when it came to Wang Shi, Wang Shi took out his waist card and casually complained to the captain of the city: "Why is it so long, big brother." ”
The captain who guarded the city inspected personally looked at Wang Shi's waist card and said: "Brother, the Khitans attacked the pass a few days ago, of course, the precautions should be stricter. ”
"Oh?" Wang Shi became excited when he heard this, and said, "Last time Wang Duhu, didn't General Xue go thousands of miles deep into the grassland and drive away the Khitans?" How did it come back again. ”
The captain of the city guard looked at him angrily and said, "Can't you come back if you run away?" It's really ignorant, this Huo'er Shen grassland is now in addition to the Khitan people and the Yan people, some of them subdued us, and some of them subdued Goguryeo, they Goguryeo just don't want us to live in peace, as long as the Khitan people come to contain this eastern Liaodong flank, it is not easy for us to cross the Liaoshui and attack the native of Goguryeo. ”
"I see, but it's great to have a fight." Wang Shi laughed.
The captain guarding the city shook his head and said: "What a strange person, you are so excited to fight, you are still a newly transferred captain, so you don't have to go to the military camp first, go to the record of the capital protection mansion to join the army." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, the captain of the city guard shouted: "Slow down." ”
"What's the matter, big brother?"
"Do you know how to get around the Metropolitan Protectorate?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know, I'm still in such a hurry, I'm a fool at this time, forget it, I'll send a subordinate to report to the Duhu Mansion with you."
When Wang Shi first arrived in White Wolf City, he saw everything fresh.
The soldier who led the way for Wang Shi casually introduced: "This city was completed at the end of last year, and there was no Song Desert Capital at that time, but now it has become a place of governance, and the security in the city is different from the general border city. Your White Wolf City is divided into two cities, north and south, six squares in the north and eight squares in the south, and even the walls are repaired according to the standards of the general county city wall. This Shangguan, let me remind you, if you are not on duty at night, don't go out randomly, otherwise you will encounter a patrol cavalry on the street, and you will be killed on the spot without a waist card. ”
Wang Shi gasped when he heard this: "The military law is so strict, but the city patrol armor cavalry in Youjing is not like this. ”
"That's the Khitan people who didn't make trouble in Youjing." The soldier pointed to Wang Shi ahead, but saw a group of armored cavalry patrolling the city coming slowly from the street, and the armored cavalry was covered with armor all over his body, and even his face was covered with iron masks. A team of twelve horsemen each exuded a fierce spirit, and it was obviously an elite division.
The soldier and Wang Shi said: "These armored cavalry are all elite cavalry of the Duhu Mansion, only three hundred cavalry, but each of them is a soldier who has died for the rest of his life, except for our Duhufu In addition to the pro-army around Duhu, this elite cavalry is the most powerful, okay, the Duhufu has arrived." ”
When he arrived at the gate of the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, he was guarded by the Duhu soldiers, and after Wang Shi handed over the waist card, he was released immediately.
"Your name is Wang Shi, and you were still serving in the Imperial Guard Army before, this is ...... It's a good place, how many people can't get in, why did you get out here? After seeing Wang Shi's resume, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Wang Shi lowered his head and sighed, deliberately pretending to be low and said, "It's not that I offended Shangguan, so I had to be released here." ”
Wang Shi had already made up the reason, and he was very touched when he joined the army: "Yes, brother, you are telling the truth, this is clearly a clear promotion and secret debasement, there is such a set of right and wrong in the officialdom, but you don't have to be discouraged, although our Duhu Mansion is remote, but the soldiers here are easy to make war exploits." In the future, when you are promoted, you will go back and see the faces of those people. ”
Wang Shi listened and asked secretly excitedly: "Big brother said well, then can I ask to join the city patrol armor cavalry and serve as a captain?" I've heard that this is a good soldier. ”
The record officer joined the army and said: "How can this be done? I only have 3,000 standing troops in the Songmo Metropolitan Protectorate, and the lieutenant can command 200 people, and there are only a few vacant positions. ”
Wang Shi smiled honestly when he heard this: "It's okay, even if you don't patrol the city, it doesn't matter, if you have a battle, it will be done." ”
"I'll take a look, by the way, brother, Wang Shi, then I remember, your official position has already been arranged, you wait, I found it, yes, it's Captain Tuntian."
"What?" Wang Shi's face changed when he heard this, "Captain Tuntian, do you want me to go farming?" I don't know that there is no such thing on the appointment. ”
"Yes, the order didn't say so, but a few days ago, the Ministry of War came with a document asking you to be the captain of Tuntian, responsible for the military tun of the Goguryeo army in the south of the city," the clerk joined the army and found out the document of the Ministry of War and gave it to Wang Shidao in person, "There will be no mistake, there is also a big seal of the military department squire on it." ”
When Wang Shi heard this, he sat on the chair with a puff and muttered, "How is this possible, I was tricked this time." ”
The secretary of the army nodded and said: "Yes, the water here is very deep, brother, the person you offended this time is not small, not only transferred you out of the Imperial Guard, but also arranged for you to be a captain of Tuntian for fear that you will make war exploits on the front line, although there is no risk in this position, but how can you get war exploits by urging those Goguryeo military households to farm all day long?" ”
"Brother, you were yin by you this time, sue me, who did you offend? It's really unusual to be able to invite the squire of the military department. ”
Of course, Wang Shi knew that Li Chongjiu was arranging a qiē behind this.
"I want to see Daduhu!" Wang Shi finally roared out this sentence. (To be continued......)
