Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 86: Streamer (below)

Let’s also say that on this day, the Zhao official’s family drew salaries from the bottom of the tank, leveraged their efforts, and killed two birds with one stone...Uh, in short, with a Li Gang who is far away in Yangzhou, Li Gongxiang easily cracked the current big'Shouzhou faction' and set Nanyang as the companion capital. Then he took advantage of the trend and decided many important things in a stick of incense, which also made everyone caught off guard and secretly sighed.

   It can only be said that under the original system, the Zhao Song official family had enough power, but in the troubled times, a Zhao Song official family who can win battles seems even more uncontrollable.

   However, what makes people even more off guard is Wanyan Wushu.

Contrary to imagination, the Jin army did not retaliate and counterattacked. According to the sentinel, it was only when Zhao Jiu had a meeting in Palgong Mountain, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin, who had joined all the troops, hurriedly crossed the Wuhe River. , Led the whole army to continue northward.

  Are you not afraid to grind your **** in such a hurry?

And after Jinwushu left, the freshly released Dingjiang Jiedu and Yuying Youjun both ruled the Huaidong Five-County System, and Zhang Jun, together with Longtuge Zhishi, the Jingdong Two-way System and Zhangsuo. Combining soldiers went north, on the one hand to regain lost ground, on the other hand, to carefully monitor the withdrawal of Jin Wushu. Also accompanied by the Xin Dao sect, the third of the Xin brothers, as well as some officials and their dependents on Jingdong Two Roads, who are in Shouzhou, so the area near Palgong Mountain was more than half empty!

   After a few more days, I saw the Jin Army walking northward and turning from Xuzhou to Yanzhou at the foot of Mount Tai. The whole army was fifteen to six thousand horses, carefully punished, and crossed the passageway to the east of Taishan. Regarding this, whether it is Zhang Suo and Zhang Jun who are falling far behind, or Yue Fei, who has just received an order and is stationed in Jeju, knowing that his military strength is limited, they dare not easily provoke such a large and serious cavalry. , But to take precautions carefully, monitoring the other side to cross this traffic pass and return to Jinan Prefecture, an occupied area on the Yellow River.

   When the news came, Zhao Guan's family did not delay any more, but immediately issued a will, taking the imperial camp he has been working hard to clean up in the past few days, preparing to set off against the Huai River and heading for Nanyang.

   Among them, the Wucheng army Jiedujun, the imperial Zuojun all controlled, and the four-county system of the Huaixi, Han Shizhong led the imperial Zuojun (in fact, the so-called Han Jiajun) about 8,000 people traveled to Huaibei;

   In addition, Wang De was under the command of the deputy capital of the Chinese Army in the imperial camp, Qiao Zhongfu, Fu Qing, and Zhang Jing, who had just been promoted to control, were temporarily restrained, plus the generals of Xin Xingzong. About 12,000 people traveled to Huainan;

   Then, the Imperial Front and the Huyantong Department, which has the least troops, escorted the officials' homes and the civil and military forces. Some officials' family members and a few lightly wounded people set off directly from the Huai River by boat and set off to the west.

Of course, there was also Han Shizhong who specially divided his troops to fetch his own furniture and the families of soldiers. The navy generals were dissatisfied that most of the sailing ships were handed over to Zhang Jun. Wang De's command of the deputy capital of the imperial camp caused dissatisfaction among some generals. Zhang Chi, the prime minister of the Privy Council, became ill as soon as he left, and stopped in Chuzhou again... and so on, and so on, something that would inevitably happen by accident.

However, at this time, as someone secretly evaluated, the official power was in control, the morale of the army and the people in the Huaihe River was greatly boosted, and the soldiers and soldiers were also subjugated to the center through this battle. The turbulence in the past will trigger the strange appearance of the crisis. Gone forever.

   So these chores did not affect the westward journey at all.

  On February 14th, the camp officially set off. Zhao Guan's family boarded one of the specially preserved sailing ships. The three roads, north and south, sailed together, and headed westward in a mighty manner. On February 15th, Zhao Guan’s family easily crossed the Kipstone Mountain by the waterway and came to Nanfeikou, where they paused, waiting for the soldiers and horses from the north and south to detour through the mountains to gather here.

   "Officials are going to stay on the shore for a while?"

On the bow of the ferry, the person who was speaking was the provincial guard squad. Feng Yi, a former member of the Royal Palace of Kang, who is now in charge of the imperial medicine, was sent out to serve Li Gang and Pan Fei to Yangzhou. After returning, he was not allowed by the Zhao official’s family. These people went to Palgong Mountain at will, but they stayed in Shouchun by the Nanfeishui River. At this time, Fang followed Xu Jingheng, another minister of Dongfu, and took over the daily housework during the ban.

   And the official family in this population is naturally Zhao Jiu who has just received Xu Jingheng and Xu Xianggong and came out of the bow.

   "A good instructor knows." Feng Yaban saw that the official was puzzled for a while, so he explained it diligently. "The Shouchun to the south of this place was originally a big port, but before the Battle of Palgong Mountain, the north-south passage was blocked by the army, but this place has naturally become a key passage connecting the north and the south, vaguely becoming a market, Xu Dashen took the opportunity to set up Guandu, Tuankou, Tea and Salt Specialist... The minister returned from here, knowing that the market behind the ferry is small, but it gathers countless new and exotic groceries from the north and the south, as well as singing and dancing restaurants. At the end it is lively, even if there are many civil and military sergeants who go down and take the opportunity to buy them, why don't officials go to the shore to rest for a while, so as to make things difficult?"

Zhao Jiu stood on the bow of the only sailing boat and looked south when he heard the words. He saw that in the spring afternoon, the ferry market, which had been quiet because the soldiers and horses on the river and the prime ministers on the bank were in front of him, had gradually opened up at this time. The loud gesture is also a momentary move.

   However, after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head slowly: "Forget it, if I go up, I don't know what trouble it will cause, and the boat is fine."

   Feng Yi responded carefully, naturally he didn't dare to say much, and Lan Gui couldn't help but pouting his lips in secret, but Yang Yizhong was thoughtful but didn't say much.

However, having said that, the official Zhao’s family was also very boring on the ship. He first returned to the cabin and took a few notes, and then sent someone to instruct Zhang Jun to send Yushi to patrol the two sides of the strait and respond to the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp to prevent the army from disturbing the people, and then went around. After walking a few laps on the ship's side, he shot to death a wild duck that didn't know why he dared to swim by the prince. In the end, nothing happened and he could only take a nap in the smoky atmosphere of the spring afternoon.

   But I didn't sleep long, and the official was awake again because of the westward sun and the extreme temperature difference between day and night in spring.

However, when he got up again this time, Zhao Jiu finally had a different mentality. He turned to the stern and looked at the luxuriant Kip Shishan mountain to the east, thoughtfully... Without him, the official Zhao had just dreamed about it again. After visiting Zhang Yongzhen, he naturally remembered the thousands of corpses left in Palgong Mountain.

Moreover, Zhao Guan’s family who was born in engineering has a somewhat straight-forward rational mind. He knows that people cannot be brought back to life. He also knows that wars must involve sacrifices. He also knows that in the future there will be more people like Zhang Yongzhen and the thousands of soldiers who died in battle. It's hard to return home in this life.

   And now, only in this way, is the best solution for the least dead person.

   But, having said that, the reason is clear. The Zhao official family also acted simply. They had never had a love for their children, but today they will travel far away. As soon as I think about it, I am still a little bit sentimental.

As the sun sets, the sky gets darker, and the market town in the distance is full of sparks. Because of the previous force supplied by the southeast force to the Palgong Mountain camp, the accompanying ships are also full of lighting, and some of the sergeants who have set up camp on the river are on the bank. , Also began to light the outer bonfire to cook food.

   The moon comes out at the beginning of the day, and the river is up and down, and the stars are a little bit starry for a while.

Dinner was done, but Zhao Guan’s still had no intention of eating, but they kept looking at the mountains. People around could guess the thoughts of the officials, and they didn’t dare to bother...Until there was a loud noise in the river, I didn’t know what was going on and attracted this ship. The people on the lowered ship swarmed to one side, and then countless sergeants quickly rowed in a small boat with torches, and surrounded the starboard side of the ship.

   Let me say that after all, Zhao Guan's family was a person who had been on the battlefield. After being awakened, he calmly looked at it, and then he couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that just now, two small and small cargo ships descended upstream from upstream, probably because of the gloomy sky, they have actually been under the big ship carrying Zhao Guan's house and the three prime ministers, and after taking the initiative to speak up It aroused the vigilance of the ship to work straight, and then caused such a movement.

The poor two shipowners and a few boatmen were embraced by countless sergeants, **** and thrown onto the big ship, listening to the officials, mates, escorts, and watching countless sergeants stubbornly surrounding themselves, long ago She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak up for a while.

   After waiting for a long time, the three xianggongs also came out. Only one of the two shipowners figured out what was going on, and then quickly kowtowed for mercy. According to him, the two of them are Uncle Lang, both of whom are tourist merchants. Hearing that the Palgong Mountain had a big victory, the north and the south were open, and the place was lively, so they loaded up and sold them.

However, they didn’t accidentally hit it because of darkness, but saw a big ship parked here from a distance. They thought it should be a noble person, so they came here to see if they could get rid of the cargo here. .

   "That's it, let it go!"

   The official Zhao’s family had already roughly guessed what was going on. They were just waiting for everyone to calm down. At this time, they saw that the owner of the ship had regained their sanity, so they simply ordered.

  The people around, from the three men and below, all agreed, as if they didn't care about this episode.

However, just as this finer ship kowtowed to thank you, and was about to leave here with the horrified partner and the boatman to go ashore for a while, the Zhao official's heart moved slightly, but he casually asked: "Shipman, you are on this ship. What kind of product?"

   "Good teacher Zhao official family knows, it is just two boats of oranges, it should be tribute to the official family!" The head of the fine ship owner, a jealous spirit, also woke up for a while, and bowed down on the deck again.

   "Can I want you to contribute?" Zhao Jiu couldn't help laughing, but asked again. "It's just that there are still oranges at this time? I also ate a lot of oranges in Palgong Mountain, but they only ate them until the end of the first month."

"A good instructor knows." Another slightly older but shrinking ship owner also gradually recovered, but he trembled and boldly took a peek at the appearance of the Zhao official's house under the torch, and then he was as simple as pouring beans in a bamboo tube. Words. "The secret recipe of my family and my brother-in-law is to take the mature southern citrus in early winter, and transport it home, put it in a wooden stand, cover it with pine branches, arrange it loosely, and place it in a ventilated cellar for daily replacement. Fresh pine branches can keep oranges fresh for one month longer than others."

   Zhao Jiu repeatedly nodded: "It makes a lot more than other vendors."

"It should be like what the official said!" The older vendor who had previously flinched didn't see his brother-in-law's eyes at all. He actually slapped his thigh in public and complained in Huaixi accent in front of the official and the three ministers. Come. "Isn't there something wrong with Jingkang? I heard that the second sage capital went to the north to hunt. And the official Ding who took care of us before was still the same as before, I didn't dare to ship the goods at will, so it was time to clear the warehouse in the past years. This year’s arrival of the oranges has not yet gone out. It is precisely because of this that, taking advantage of the withdrawal of the official Ding a few days ago, we hurriedly reorganized two large ships, out of the inventory, and prepared to go to Shouchun to sell it. I didn’t want to see it. At the official's house!"

   Zhao Jiu was thoughtful, but smiled again: "In that case, I have delayed the sale of oranges in your house..."

   "Don't dare to say that!" At this moment, the young and sophisticated trader couldn't bear it any more. He directly grabbed his wife and brother and knocked on his head again. "Xiaomin's wife and brother are ignorant and talk nonsense. Officials shouldn't care."

   "It's okay," Zhao Jiu laughed more and more, but he spoke slowly to the elderly trader. "There are always thousands of oranges in your two ships, right? How much is a catty? If you buy the whole ship, it might be slightly cheaper?

   At this time, the elderly vendor also recalled, and looked at his brother-in-law in a panic.

And Zhao Guan’s family didn’t care at all. Instead, they sent people ashore to find an irrelevant vendor in the market to ask about the market price of oranges in the spring of previous years, and then asked about the number of oranges...about six to seven thousand, far more than the number of soldiers...so let Lan Gui took the money to interact with the two men, and asked the two vendors to assist, and the sergeants rowed in a team to pick up the oranges. It was based on the number of one person and two, approximately scattered with the shore, the ship's Panzhi and the Huyantong Department. , And then deliver the remaining.

  As soon as this order was issued, there were no shortage of interesting people among the surrounding sergeants, who directly spread the message in the boat, saying that it was the official asking everyone to eat oranges. Oer, before the oranges were divided, some people took the lead in rowing over, and they held the oranges in the river and shouted directly to the big boat, saying that they had thanked the officials for their rewards.

   Regarding this, Zhao Guanjia simply sat on the bow of the ship, and let someone hang a light on the bow to illuminate him, and then peeled the orange, and nodded with the soldiers who came to express their gratitude.

   The three men looked at each other, and it was hard to say anything.

On the contrary, Lu Haowen and Wang Boyan were more or less familiar with the official's wanton gestures. When they saw this, they all took oranges and thanked the official, and then they sat calmly on the bow and ate slowly. ...Finally, Xu Jingheng, who had always been serious, could only step forward and sat down to eat oranges in embarrassment.

   The oranges are distributed layer by layer, and the sergeant and the civil and military, plus the number of them are only two thousand, so the allocation is completed soon, but there are still many left. As soon as the Zhao official’s family was about to give the remaining amount to the family members accompanying the civil and military, they suddenly heard the noise on the shore. It was the news from the river that attracted nearby residents to the ferry to look for the Zhao official’s house, asking the official family to reward the mandarin to please this year’s good. color.

  Of course, the Zhao official family had nothing to say, and with a big wave of his hand, he placed the remaining half of the oranges at the Nan'an Ferry and distributed them. Everyone, young and old, could receive one.

However, oranges are just a mixed fruit in the end. They are not precious in Huainan. Everyone just joins in the excitement to see the official Zhao’s house. Many people don’t eat them at all after receiving them. Instead, they stay in their arms, preparing to get a reward. That's it.

Therefore, after a short while, Zhao Guan’s posture is finished here, and he wants to get up and go for a serious meal, but as soon as he looks up, he sees a bright moon above his head. It is bright and white, hanging on the stone mountain in front, like a lantern hanging high, reflecting on the river again. He also moved slightly in his heart, and then sat back again. Then, on the river and down the river, everyone saw the official sitting on the bow again picked up an orange, but carefully peeled off half of it, pushed the fruit petals from below, and then opened the lantern on the side of the boat to burn out what was almost burnt. The remaining candlelight was taken off and put in the orange, and then he got up again and went to the ship's side in public.

   Everyone knew, Feng Yi eagerly called the boat to pick him up, and asked Yang Yizhong to help the official to get off the boat carefully, then put the orange light on the Huai River, let it drift with the flow, and drift to the east of the Kishishi Mountain.

  In other words, such behavior is actually quite wasteful on the way, because it is fine to have a light, but at this time the official is doing it under the attention of everyone, I am afraid that it will attract imitating, and it will be a waste of storage. Therefore, the three xianggong and Wen Xun rushed to the rest of the dignitaries frowned secretly.

However, since Zhao Guan’s family set the lights on the river and turned the ship again, they looked eastward at the drifting sparks and let out a long sigh: “I was in a hurry when I came here. I couldn’t wait for the Palgongshan Cemetery to be built as a sacrifice. Revenant."

   Surrounded by civil and military, since the three are in mutual respect, each is solemn.

Er, the surrounding sergeants and the people on the shore, or heard this, knew that the officials were offering sacrifices to the death robe of Bagong Mountain~www.NovelMTL.com~ or unknown. Therefore, I thought that the officials would be happy with the people, but they all have a lot of fun. Imitate...the oranges that are not eaten naturally follow the trend, the ones that are eaten can be borrowed by others, the ones with candles are used, the ones without candles are put in some oil, some messy seeds are stuffed, and even the oil can't be found. Some dry pine branches were placed in it, and they were also lit and pushed into the water.

   In the end, even Yang Yizhong, who had always been prudent, ran down himself, placed a few orange lights in front of the officials, and threw things into the river.

   In short, after only a moment, there were thousands of streamers, dots and dots, swaying eastward along the Huai River, bright and dark, like a dream.

After waiting for a while, seeing the light gradually disappearing, only the bright moon was on, and many civil servants who thought that the official was wasted before were lost. A few people even thought of the old days before Jingkang. In the dream, he hid his face and wept, in stark contrast with the excited people on the shore.

   As for Zhao Jiu's official family, but at this time, he felt that his heart was completely smooth, so he didn't think much about it. He just picked up a big orange, held it in his arms, and went to the cabin to eat.

   As the saying goes: The snow washes the dust and the dust is quiet, and the wind leaves the clouds.

  Who is writing tragic and strong, crossing into the tower at night?
