Chapter 272: The country is beautiful and fragrant, and the city is overwhelmed
"Yanei, the little lady of the Wang family came to ask to see!" Zhao Jiang reported outside the study, with infinite adoration in his voice. The general is really a woman, the peach blossoms are prosperous, and the stunning woman can't push it off, so he took the initiative to come to the door.
In the study, Li Jing frowned, and said directly: "No! After a pause, he continued, "Let's just say I'm tired and have rested!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard Zhao Jiang say helplessly: "Little lady, don't break in!" ”
"General Ji Yu, could it be that the little woman is a snake and scorpion, which makes you so afraid that you refuse to even give you the opportunity to meet?" A crisp and soft voice came in, and then, Wang Haojun combed a flying high bun, wore an open-chested open-breasted shirt, a red silk on his shoulders, a yellow narrow-sleeved shirt, a green floor-length skirt, and a red belt hanging down his waist.
The slow skirt is half exposed, and the pink breast is half hidden in the dark snow.
Absolutely beautiful, indeed stunning. Li Jing looked up and saw Wang Haojun for the first time, and couldn't help but be amazed. In terms of appearance alone, Wang Haojun is definitely the most beautiful woman Li Jing has ever seen in Datang, and there is no one. Compared with her, Gui Niang and Wan'er are less expensive and a little less beautiful. Although the county lord and the young lady are equally noble, they still lack a few looks. Gongsun Lan is charming, mature and sexy, but she is not as fresh and pure as Wang Haojun's touching beauty. Megan and Julie have a delicate beauty, which is a little more disgraced than her.
Sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, the appearance of the city and the country!
Wang Haojun was also looking at Li Jing, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and tall figure. The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified. A pair of eyes shoot cold stars. The two curved eyebrows are like paint. The chest is broad. There is a majesty that is invincible. Nearly seven feet tall. He is a military general who has won successive battles, but his face is relatively white. The beautiful facial features look very distinct, especially the lips, which are almost as rosy as rouge. But although he was beautiful, he was not feminine at all; Especially those eyes, which looked confident and proud. Dressed in white and with black hair, flowing and handsome!
What a handsome man, Wang Haojun was stunned for a moment. Before she came, she collected a lot of information about Li Jing. But he never deliberately inquired about Li Jing's appearance. She is not a superficial woman who judges people by her appearance, but in her heart she only thinks that a peasant child like Li Jing, a young general, should be a black-faced, thick-skinned, and bear-waisted. Unexpectedly, Li Jing is actually more like a white-faced scholar.
Zhao Jiang, who followed in, saw that Li Jing and Wang Haoniang were looking at each other in a daze, as if Wang Ba was looking at mung beans, and couldn't help but show a smile that all men know, and stepped back lightly. It was also very passed to close the door.
After being amazed, Li Jing quickly came to his senses. smiled bitterly: "Little lady, what are you doing?" When the third watch came in the middle of the night, didn't you know that being in the same room with a lonely man and a widow would attract bad speculation and rumors? ”
Wang Haojun looked straight at Li Jing and smiled indifferently: "I have already come with my dowry, everyone is yours, how can you care about this." ”
"I didn't agree to this marriage, and I believe that my words have already been passed on to you." Li Jing said in a deep voice. Talking to Wang Haojun, he can't help but be a little flustered by her gaze, this is an unusual woman, not just beautiful appearance.
"For what? Am I just so disliking you, didn't you have a look of appreciation in your eyes when you saw me just now? ”
Wang Haojun looked directly at Li Jing, with a hint of softness in his words, which made people feel a sense of pity and wanted to cherish her.
"The little lady is fragrant and beautiful, and anyone who sees it will not be amazed enough. But this is not the same thing as marriage. ”
"If Childe refuses to keep me, then I can only die here." Speaking of this, Wang Haojun suddenly pulled out a small silver knife from his waist.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Why don't you want to leave me for Gong, I'm ugly?"
"It's not."
"Then I have a bad temper and a bad character?"
"I can't pull out a knife at every turn, this temper is really not very good." Li Jing smiled.
Wang Haojun's tears fell, "If the prince agrees to keep me, there will be no benefit." From now on, Duli Town and Shamen Town will be firm allies, the general is in Dengzhou, and my Duli Town is in Liaodong, the two families communicate with each other, trade exchanges, and from then on the two families will be harmonious and wealthy, wouldn't it be very good. ”
Wang Haojun looked at her with sad eyes, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. Li Jing was a little moved by her gaze, but she shook her head after that. Although it is simple to leave her, it is very likely that Li Lingfu will misunderstand that he is secretly allied with Duli Town. For now, Shamen Town and Qingnipu are firm allies, and Li Jing has no trust and good impression of the group of merchants in Duli Town at all.
"I'm sorry, I can't keep you, I'm sorry!" Li Jing shook his head and called Zhao Jiang, "Send the little lady Wang back, and let Duli Town pick up people early tomorrow morning." ”
Wang Haojun didn't expect that Li Jing was neither moved by her beauty, nor did she pity the jade, and in the face of her pitiful request, she was indifferent, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. When she came, she was full of confidence, thinking that with her beauty and wisdom, she would be able to easily take down Li Jing. But I didn't expect to be such a failure. She wanted to say something, but Li Jing had already waved her hand, turned around, picked up a book and read it, and stopped looking at her.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jiang arranged for someone to deliver a letter to Duli Town.
However, Duli Town seemed to be looking forward to this marriage, and for several days in a row, the compensation materials on various agreements were transported by boat, but every time the materials were unloaded on the ship and handed over, they returned immediately, never mentioning the matter of picking up Wang Haojun. As soon as Shamen Town mentioned it, they immediately said that they couldn't control it, and walked away. Li Jing originally planned to send a boat to send her back, but every time she went to pick up someone, Wang Haojun immediately took the small silver knife to herself, threatening her with death, and she could only watch her live day by day.
"General, all the money, food, and materials in the agreement, and the materials worth a total of three million yuan have all been handed over. In addition, there were more than the original good ones, counting 1,000 horses, 3,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 100 carts of spices, and 1,000 horses of silk. These are the dowries brought by the little lady, what do you think about it? ”
Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, and the town of Duli delivered all the materials in the shortest possible time. This made Li Jing a little surprised, it seems that Shamen Town was indeed scared. But the little lady's affairs are a little troublesome now, and she is stuck here like a piece of kraft cream. No one can send her away, as soon as he said that he would send her away, he immediately pulled out a knife against himself, Li Jing was really worried that she would give herself a knife. It's Wang Pu's daughter, even if she doesn't marry her, but if she really has three longs and two shorts here, I'm afraid that the situation that has been fought hard will change again.
Wang Pu is really arrogant, he actually has such a luxurious dowry.
"Let's put it in storage for the time being."
The compensation is in hand, Li Jing is in a good mood now, as for Wang Haojun, he really doesn't take it seriously, she is willing to rely on a few more days, and there is no loss.
"Lao Zhang, now that the money has been received, we don't have to gather all the troops here to intimidate Duli Town. Pass on my military order, draft a clause, except for the Zhenhai battalion, the rest of the battalions will return to their own battalion headquarters in turn. In the future, the town of Tori should not offend us anytime soon. This period is a rare and good time, and the whole army must step up its training and must not slack off. I hope that before the end of the year, the whole army will be able to reach a new level. In addition, you are the big steward, you have to be prepared now, I estimate that we may have a big move before the year, and we must be ready to go on an expedition. ”
"All the preparations for the expedition, all the supplies, including autumn and winter clothes, as well as consumable ordnance such as arrows, and even dry food and canned food, are all stocked. Food, forage, must be prepared now. ”
"Big moves? Could it be that in the second half of the year, we will land in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places to suppress bandits? Zhang Hong asked with some surprise.
"Bandits, indeed bandits." Li Jing nodded, "But this bandit is not an ordinary bandit, it will be the same bandit as the Pang Xun Rebellion a few years ago." Li Jing didn't say it too clearly, but it was this that surprised Zhang Hong.
"Could it be that someone is preparing to rebel, how does the general know this?"
"Successive natural disasters are bound to be great famines. And after every great famine, there will inevitably be a great civil uprising, which is a problem that cannot be avoided in all dynasties. Last year, there was a great drought and locust plague in the entire Kanto region, and this year the drought began again, except for a few light rains, and the drought in the fields was severe. Experienced elders say that this year's drought is worse than last year's, and that there is a high probability that there will be no production in the north. And recently, on the side of the Tianping Army, those salt dealers have been making a lot of noise, and as I expected, it is estimated that there will be a big chaos before the year. When the time comes, the festival commander will definitely transfer us to fight to quell the chaos. ”
Wang Xianzhi is about to get into trouble, and even if Song Wei doesn't come to transfer him, he will take the initiative to find a way to quell the chaos. This is a great opportunity to train soldiers and horses and strive for meritorious deeds, how can you miss it. However, he didn't want to understand Zhang Hong too clearly, so he had to say that it was his own inference. However, this inference is still very well-founded, and Zhang Hong nodded again and again when he heard it.
The general can rest assured, and he will immediately start making arrangements when he returns to his post. I don't know how many people the general is going to take to the battle? ”
"You should prepare as much as possible, I estimate that this mess will be difficult to calm down in a short time. As for how many men will go out at that time, my plan is to take one or two battalions out of the army at a time, and then let the battalions take turns. ”
Although Wang Xianzhi died within a few years of the incident, Huang Chao broke through the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, and even founded the Great Qi and became the emperor for more than a year. The Huangchao Rebellion lasted more than ten years, how could it be so easy to pacify.
Now that he has saved such a large amount of money, food, and materials, Li Jing does not have to worry about logistics at all, and he can scramble for time to train his troops. As long as the soldiers are trained, the turbulent times at the end of the Tang Dynasty are actually an opportunity for him to really stand out. Don't look at him now in Shamen Town, he has won a lot of battles, but in the end, it's just a small fight in a corner. If you want to really get ahead, you have to make a name for yourself in these grass armies of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao. (To be continued......)
