Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
Chapter 378 Si Xiang [Thank you! Goodbye! Five thousand words are owed]
fourth day
Morning
The east is white with fish belly,
Outside Ansumen
The sound of cars rumbling,
Yangliu Yiyi
The convoy of carriages composed of Xu family, Zhang family, Cao family, Hai family, Sun family and other families had already set off in advance, walking towards the north.
The place between the city gate and the dragon river,
Gu Tingye, Chang Bai and Qi Heng, who had finished speaking to Xu Zaijing, stood aside. Chang Feng among them even yawned.
Mrs. Bai was supported by Grandma Chang and stood behind her. Grandma Chang touched her tears with her handkerchief and whispered:
"Madam, how old is Brother Jing? How could Madam Sun be so cruel as to let a child like him go to the battlefield!"
"From now on, from now on our brother Ye, he..."
Lady Bai looked at the scene in front of her and sighed with emotion.
Mrs. Wu on the side shook her head, as if to say that no matter what, she would not send her youngest son Liang Han to the battlefield.
Mrs. Sun, the wife of Marquis Yongyi, was wearing a cloak. She held Xu Zaijing's hand with her left hand and touched the face of her younger son, who was much taller than her, with her right hand and was speechless for a long time.
"Go ahead."
After saying that, Mrs. Sun let go of Xu Zaijing's hand.
Xu Zaijing nodded,
Take a step back,
He bowed deeply towards Mrs. Sun and cupped his hands and said, "Mother, the child is gone."
After saying that, Xu Zaijing bowed and turned slightly, and bowed to his sister Pingmei, eldest sister-in-law Xie Shi, and second sister-in-law Hualan, who were holding the child on both sides of Sun.
The three eldest ladies, Pingmei, Xie and Hualan,
It can be said that Pingmei and Xie watched Xu Zaijing grow up, and Hua Lan also had a fondness for Xu Zaijing like a sister towards a younger brother.
Watching mother-in-law Sun separate from her youngest son, perhaps because they are both mothers, they thought that a few decades later, they would also have to face the separation from their respective sons.
There were tears in the eyes of the three of them. When they saw Xu Zaijing saluting, they quickly wiped their tears with their sleeves and saluted with a smile.
Xu Xingdai and Gu Shixing, who were already sensible, shouted "Uncle/Uncle bye".
Finally, Lu Zezong, who was beside everyone, looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother, when will you come back?"
Xu Zaijing looked into Lu Zezong's eyes and said, "I really can't say for sure."
Lu Zezong nodded.
Xu Zaijing smiled again at Zai Zhang, who was in a bad mood, turned around, walked a few steps, and quickly mounted the little Liju.
Mrs. Sun looked at her youngest son, and with the support of her two daughters-in-law, she took another step forward: "Qingyun, take good care of your young master!"
Qingyun raised his hands on the horse: "Yes! Madam!"
After Qingyun finished speaking, he waved his hand towards Hua Qing, who was showing some affection not far away.
Seeing Xu Zaijing getting on the horse, Wu Niang of the Zhang family and Gu Tingyi, who were standing next to the carriage on the roadside, waved and shouted: "Brother Jing, have a nice trip!"
Xu Zaijing smiled at Wu Niang and Gu Tingyi.
Standing next to Wuniang and Gu Tingyi on the horse, Rong Feiyan looked generously at his Chai Zhengzheng and his eyes were a little confused. Xu Zaijing nodded in greeting and knocked the horse's belly lightly, and the little Liju headed towards Walk towards the bridge over the Hulong River.
After Xu Zaijing passed by the three noble ladies,
Rong Feiyan bit her lip gently,
Have the courage to stare closely at the retreating figure,
And in her fair hands hidden under her cloak, she held a wiping forehead tightly.
Not yet on the bridge over the Hulong River,
There was a carriage beside it, and Hai Chaojie was standing beside him with Hai Chaoyun.
Hai Chaoyun looked at Xu Zaijing, who had saved her life, with clear eyes, and said loudly: "Brother Xu, have a safe journey and come back safely!"
Hai Chaojie also cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jing, have a nice trip."
After Xu Zaijing smiled and thanked him, he took Qingyun, Alan, and He Guan on horseback to the bridge, followed by two knights. Both of them had falcons with blindfolds on their shoulders, which were sent by Hu Yanjiong before.
After crossing the Hulong River,
When Xu Zaijing was about to ask Xiao Liju to speed up, he saw Qiao Jiulang standing with Liang Han by the river from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Xu Zaijing looking over, Qiao Jiulang lowered his head in shame and bowed together with Liang Han.
When Qiao Jiulang looked up, he saw Xu Zaijing waving the riding crop in his hand at him.
"Liu Lang, Brother Jing said hello to me. When he comes back, can I treat him to dinner?"
Liang Han nodded and said, "That's natural."
Seeing Xu Zaijing and others disappear into the distance, Pingmei hugged Gu Shixing and said to Sun, "Mom, let's go back!"
Sun nodded.
Soon, everyone outside the city gate dispersed.
The two ladies, Bai and Wu, accompanied Sun back to Quyuan Street.
Zai Zhang, Gu Tingye, Chang Bai and others did not enter the city directly, but rode west and then south, heading towards the Sheng family.
Several girls were pulled by Chai Zhengzheng and went with Rong Feiyan to collect dew in the plantation garden.
When Xu Zaijing decided to go to the northwest,
The news was already on its way to Hou Yongyi's army.
Different from the last time Xu Zaijing took people to the old general Cao of Tuoxihou, this time Xu Zaijing and his party had many carriages.
So the speed this time was much slower than last time.
Depart at the beginning of Chenshi (7 a.m.)
The convoy traveled all day and took a half-hour break at noon.
At the beginning of Youshi (after five o'clock in the afternoon), everyone stayed at a post station on the bank of the Yellow River outside Xifu (Zhengzhou) City.
Through the post roads and post stations from Dazhou to the northwest,
In the afternoon six days later,
In the misty autumn rain,
Xu Zaijing was riding on a horse, wearing a rain hat and a raincoat, looking at the tall city wall in the distance.
The steward of the Hai family in the carriage beside said with a smile: "Wu Lang, the front is Taiyuan Mansion!"
Probably less than a quarter of an hour later,
Xu Zaijing is riding on the horse,
Lifting the rain hat that was pressing down on my forehead,
Looking at the three words "Kaiyuanmen" written in big words on the city gate,
Xu Zaijing and Qingyun looked at each other.
After entering the city,
A convoy of vehicles headed towards the residence of the pacifying envoy.
Although it rains,
However, Xu Zaijing and his team of knights were all extremely capable, and Xu Zaijing's mount was so handsome that it attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Among them were many merchants on the roadside, pointing at Xu Zaijing and his party.
He Guan rode his horse to Xu Zaijing's side, looked around at the eyes of the people around him, and whispered, "Taiyuan Mansion is an important town in the north of the Zhou Dynasty. These manpower must include spies from Bai Gao, Bei Liao and even the Jin Kingdom."
Seeing Xu Zaijing's somewhat surprised look, He Guan nodded and confirmed what he said.
He Guan then continued: "I hope your identity will not be revealed, otherwise it will be uncomfortable on the road."
Taiyuan City,
After a brief visit to the official residence of the envoy,
In the stable in the backyard,
Xiao Liju and Longju, who had taken off their saddles, stood under the slightly cramped stable and shook their necks vigorously.
In an instant, the water droplets on the mane flew to the side.
Not far away,
On top of the large piece of red charcoal burning in the brazier, a soft blanket was being held there by Alan and Qingyun.
After the blanket became a little warm, the two of them put the blanket on Long Ju's back and began to wipe it.
After wiping it, he took care of Xiao Liju again.
Finally, after placing extremely fine fodder in the mangers of the two handsome horses, they walked towards a courtyard under the guidance of the steward of the Hai family.
In the front hall where guests are entertained,
Sitting at the top, the chief official of the border region and the head of the Hai family, the economic and comfort envoy of Taiyuan Prefecture, looked at the family letter in his hand with a smile on his face.
Xu Zaijing was in front of him, why was he in the back? The two of them sat at the bottom, each holding a cup of tea soup to ward off the cold and slowly drank it.
Place the letter paper back into the envelope and set it aside.
Seeing the actions of the leader of the Hai family, Xu Zaijing and He Guan hurriedly put down the tea cups.
The leader of the Hai family, who is a high official in the border area, smiled and said: "Brother Jing, you two are not very old, and you have a lot of things on your mind! Don't be so restrained here, drink more to ward off the cold!"
Xu Zaijing and He Guan stopped their movements, smiled at each other and hurriedly responded.
After a while, when Xu Zaijing and his wife finished drinking the tea soup, the head of the Hai family said: "Wu Lang, you can leave the belongings of the British Duke and Ningyuan Hou's family here. As soon as the weather is good, I will send someone to Zhending." Mansion and Guangrui Army.”
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Thank you, sir!"
The leader of the Hai family shook his head and said: "Wu Lang, what you said is out of context! From now on, I will be called Uncle Shi!"
Xu Zaijing handed over his hand.
At this time, a steward from the Hai family came to the door and bowed: "Master, the meal is ready!"
The leader of the Hai family stood up and said, "Let's go! Try Taiyuan's famous food."
When Xu Zaijing finished his dinner and took a bath in the tub to relieve his fatigue.
The back door of the official residence is some distance away from the stables.
A man dressed as a servant of the official residence came out of the back door.
After walking on a familiar road for a while, we entered a dark alley outside a street.
In a small courtyard in the alley,
There was a faint sound of conversation in the house.
‘My master, I really just want to know where that extravagant person is’
‘It’s not like you don’t know that my master loves horses’
'Ten guan money is just to get some news so that my master can inquire about the price.'
‘With these ten strings, you might be able to turn over in a gambling shop! ’
Another hesitant voice came: 'Okay. I heard the drunk coachman said that that is the young master from the Yongyi Hou Mansion in Bianjing.'
After a while, the man dressed as a servant walked out of the alley again.
He first looked in the direction of the official residence, then in the direction of the gambling house.
After hesitating for a while,
He weighed the heavy money bag in his hand and walked towards the gambling house.
The second day
early morning,
The sky is slightly bright,
After a light rain,
A pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the sky from a small courtyard somewhere. After hovering for a while, it flew towards the west.
When Xu Zaijing left Taiyuan City,
When checking into the inn before dark,
The pigeon that flew out of Taiyuan City landed in the 'home' in its memory.
He caught the pigeon with one hand, took off the thin bamboo tube from its feet, and hurriedly walked towards a solemn hall.
The light in the hall, lit by several candles, was fairly bright.
The man stopped beside the desk and whispered:
"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from the flying pigeons in Dazhou."
As he spoke, the thin bamboo tube was placed on the table.
The shadow cast by the candle showed that someone waved his hand.
The person who delivered the bamboo tube hurriedly left the table.
The light of the candle shines on the table, and you can see a long and thin piece of paper spread out and pressed by a paperweight. On it is written in white script, "The youngest son of Xu Hou passed Longde Mansion in the 82nd year" (Changzhi)
A little further to the side of the slender note is a piece of paper with some blood stains on it.
It says in Chinese characters "Xu Jiawulang has set off and will arrive under the command of Yongyi Marquis in the near future. All departments of the Imperial City Department must protect him carefully. If there is any mistake, he will be killed immediately." ’
further away,
It is a piece of paper with Northern Liao script on it, with an annotation in Bai Gao characters next to the Northern Liao script: "The Shengzhou and Yunnei Prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty are urgently preparing fine horse materials, and it is suspected that nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty are coming." (Today's Ordos, Baotou)
These messages, a pair of hands above the paper, are pulling out the paper slips from the thin bamboo tube.
Looking at the information above, the owner of the hands said in Bai Gao: "Well, we have arrived at Taiyuan Mansion."
As he spoke, he placed the note on the table.
The hands put three more pieces of paper together with the latest news on the tray and pressed them with paperweights.
Then, the tray was carried away from here.
Bai Gaoguo
In a palace hung with maps,
Liang Yiren, the prince of the Baigao Kingdom and the head of the Chuihuan Division, stood next to Liang Yifu, the emperor of the Baigao Kingdom.
He nodded towards his capable general, Chuihuan Sixiang, who walked in.
This prime minister of the Chuihuan Division, when Emperor Liang Yifu wanted to urge the guard of Keyi Gate to send troops for a decisive battle, he firmly stood with Liang Yiren who opposed the matter!
The two also jointly uncovered the plan of the great Zhou Yongyihou and persuaded Liang Yifu to give up the idea.
Together with Liang Yiren, he gave advice to his father and formulated a clever plan to mobilize the army on the southeastern front to defeat the "oriole behind" strategy of the Great Zhou Army.
The Prime Minister held the tray, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please send us the spy information from the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Liang Yifu, who was looking sad, nodded and said, "What's the news?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, God bless me in the Great White Kingdom! Spies in the Great Zhou Dynasty came to report that the youngest son of Marquis Yongyi from the north has left Bianjing and is on his way to serve under his father Marquis Yongyi and will arrive in the near future."
Liang Yifu said: "How can we say that God has blessed me with Dabai Gaoguo?"
Chuihuan Secretary said: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence report, I think that the youngest son of Marquis Yongyi will take the route from Shengzhou to Yunnei Prefecture in the north. After arriving at Yunnei Prefecture in Qianqu, he will go west to Fengzhou, the land of Houqu, and then go south to the residence of Yongyihou."
Liang Yiren, who was looking at various pieces of paper and messages on the tray, kept nodding his head as he listened to the Prime Minister's analysis.
Wait for the Secretary to finish speaking,
Liang Yiren said: "Prime Minister, but when that little beast of the Xu family arrives at Houqu and before he comes under his father's command, we take the opportunity to send people to kill him?"
Bai Gao Emperor Liang Yifu said: "Did those experts from my Liang Yi family fall into an ambush from the Imperial City Division in this little beast's home?"
The Prime Minister of the Chuihuan Division looked at Liang Yiren with approval, then lowered his head and said with hatred: "Your Majesty, yes! The Imperial City Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty set up a vicious trap in this person's house! Those masters killed countless people. The crossbow arrows!"
Hearing the words of the Prime Minister, Liang Yi's father and son both had painful looks on their faces.
The Prime Minister continued: "Just like His Highness said, we set up an ambush on the way and killed this little beast. On the day of the battle, we will throw this little beast's head in front of the battle line, which will definitely disturb the mind of Marquis Yong Yi!"
"In the battle outside Keyi Gate in the north, the chance of winning can be increased by 10%!"
"but"
Liang Yiren looked at Si Xiang's expression as he looked at him, hesitating to speak, and said, "Si Xiang, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!"
The Prime Minister bowed and said: "His Highness said that we should attack between Houqu and Yongyihou's residence. I feel that it is a bit inappropriate, because there are large armies gathered there, and if there is any movement, it will be easily surrounded by the Zhou army."
Liang Yiren: "Hey! What the Prime Minister said is that I didn't think about it! Then where do you think it is better?"
The Prime Minister bowed and walked to the map, pointed to a place and said: "Send people to cross the Yellow River tonight, together with Chuihuan Division's spies, to set up an ambush here!"
As he said that, the Prime Minister pointed to a place on the map: "This is within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not in the newly occupied Houqu territory. The Xu family must relax their vigilance!"
Listening to the words of the Prime Minister, Liang Yiren kept nodding.
"Since what you guys said is so good, then let's do what you want!"
Liang Yifu said.
"Yes! Father/Your Majesty!"
Later, Liang Yiren and the Prime Minister walked out of the palace together.
On the way, Mr. Chuihuan said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Tuojue, he sincerely thanks you for your recognition and help to their son Tuojue Zhongding! You can allow this child to lead an iron kite and wash his hands in the war." stains on the body.”
Liang Yiren waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter!"
After speaking, the two separated.
Looking at the back of Liang Yiren walking away, the faces of Bai Gaoguo Chuihuan Secretary and Zhao Taifeng, the top spy of the Imperial City Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty, remained calm.
