Chapter 110 Three Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower-1

The breeze is soft and has a faint sweet smell. The grass is shining with smoke, and who can rely on the meaning of the railings in silence?

I don’t know how long I slept, but Zhao Xingde opened his eyes and Zhou He’s strange expression was reflected in his eyes. He smiled awkwardly. He fell asleep again when he was waiting to see Tianyan. However, he didn’t have to worry about the amount of money, and Zhao Xingde had no regrets. He secretly used the energy of the Five Animal Show to penetrate his whole body, feeling comfortable all over, and the fatigue of staying up late was gone. This little sleep was worth it.

"General Zhou," Zhao Xingde bowed and said, "But has the Shengxuan summoned?"

"Your Majesty has other important things," Zhou He said politely, "Mr. Zhao asked him to come back." Zhao Xingde was full of trouble. Although Zhao Qi wanted to include him in the throne, he would not act so openly. Zhao Qi had a reputation of being a frivolous person, so the court officials would not be surprised. Most of them thought that Your Majesty suddenly became curious about Zhao Xingde.

Xingde stood up, his face was not much disappointed. Before leaving the door, he smiled at the palace maid. He had been in war for many years. Even though he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he still felt a curious look, but he did not suddenly open his eyes to scare her. He closed his eyes and continued to sleep. Even in the battlefield where the two armies confronted each other, he could fall asleep. After the founding of the government of Ezhou, Chen Dong and others insisted that the palace should not be used for eunuchs in order to eliminate the eunuchs. Looking at the palace maids blushing cheeks, Zhao Xingde thought to himself that if there was a eunuch standing next to him just now, it would not be so interesting.

After walking out of the warm pavilion, the sun was dazzling. Zhao Xingde realized that it was noon at this time. He had been sleeping for nearly two hours. He looked at Zhou He apologetically. He didn't know that his Majesty had waited for two hours before he realized that Wuchang Hou had been waiting in the warm pavilion. Zhou He saw that he was sleeping, but did not wake up rashly. He kept waiting beside him. He knew that Wuchang Hou had woken up. The two walked side by side through the Imperial Garden, because the climate in Ezhou was warm and moist. Although it was the middle of winter, it was still green. Although the forbidden area was not very open, the garden structure was

Ingenious, strange stones can be seen everywhere, and the winding paths are secluded. It can be seen that although the real system of the Xujun is in the real world, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works are still quite hard to build the palace. Although Zhao Qi is a powerless king, he still has the right emperor respect. On the way back, Zhao Xingde felt that Zhou He's attitude towards him changed a little, and seemed to have a little respect. He was a little surprised in his heart, but he soon stopped thinking about it. Because of Wang Yan, he still had a slight favor to the people in Jinyan Mansion.

The street market outside the palace wall was rushing to the Lantern Festival market, and there were crowds of heavy people everywhere. Zhou He and a team of soldiers from the staff of the Fangsi escorted Zhao Xingde through the endless stream of streets, and everyone was sweating. The dense shops and stalls were filled with various things, vendors shouted and hawked, and the bargaining sounds filled their eardrums. This familiar scene made Zhao Xingde immediately think of the former Bianliang. Because the court convened a great ceremony, the states studied and studied, and the articles were in vain, and the Qingliu gentry gathered in Ezhou. In order to prevent sudden changes, there were several times more yamen runners on duty on the street than usual. The streets of Ezhou were too narrow and there were too many officials. Therefore, except for Your Majesty's trip, there was no such thing as a clean road, whether it was the Prime Minister or Shang's carriage and horse. Otherwise, it would be blocked all year round, and the people would definitely complain.

Liu Wengu had not returned yet in the Marquis' Mansion of Wuchang. Zhao Xingde remembered that he had a banquet with Ma Yuan and others and said goodbye to him. He thought that he had been a romantic night of poetry and wine, and forgot the time. The habits of scholars of the Song Dynasty were passed down from generation to generation, and Zhao Xingde did not think it was offended. Without the permission of the Office Office, he could not take a step out of the Marquis' Mansion. He had nothing to do, so he himself opened his luggage and put the items he carried with him into the room. It was said that he could steal half a day of leisure and had a good time to make a living.

On the top of Huanghuji Mountain, the Yellow Crane Tower is towering and towering, along with the river and river, down to the river, with a double-eaved wing pavilion, four doors are open, sitting on the well, shooting down the clouds and smoke, and calling it the most beautiful Jingwu. Liu Wengu did have dozens of familiar officers such as Ma Yuan and other officers to celebrate the farewell at the Yellow Crane Tower. The masts of the boat stood towering by the river, and servants sent the freshest Yangtze River fish to the mountain. After a while, a series of salivating fresh fish sashimi were brought into the warm attic. However, there was no banquet that never dispersed, and at the end, the atmosphere became gloomy and solemn.

"It's better to be Wengu. I'm sure to follow Lord Zhao, and I don't have to consider where to go." Ma Yuan slapped the carved railings and said with a wry smile, "We are not as good as martial arts, and we don't know where we are." The future is uncertain, and all the officers are in the same mood. As soon as they start to talk, they shook their heads and sighed.

"Mr. Zhou, the Master of the Office, will not reveal the news?" Liu Wengu smiled and said, "If I hadn't stayed in front of Ezhou, I would have gone to the new army in Jiangnan. If I had not been in front of the imperial court today, I would have been worried about not having any place to use my martial arts?" He had already made up his mind to follow Zhao Xingde. Even if his husband died in Ezhou, he would just collect the corpses and guard the graves. He would never go to office or be an official in his lifetime, set up a tent and teach disciples, so that his morality would be passed down to future generations. Therefore, although the situation is the most dangerous, the situation is the most dangerous.

Liu Wengu let go of his arms and looked out. He saw the Yellow Crane Tower, surrounded by Huaxuan, veranda, and pavilions. A beautiful building complex stood beside the walls of Zicheng, Ezhou. Looking down at the rising and falling tides of the river, the gulls swam and fish chasing each other among the waves. "It's better if you don't mention it, I will never go to the new army in Jiangnan." Ma Yuan showed a hint of contempt on his face, "Mr. Liu Guangshi, the envoy of Xuanfu in Huaixi, do you know how he recovered Jiangning, Hangzhou and other places?"

"Oh?" Liu Wengu said, "How did you recover?" During his time in house arrest, Zhao Xingde was with his mentor and served in service. He only reported from the mansion that Liu Guangshi was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Huaixi. After the new Huaixi camp was established, he confronted the Liao army across the river. Not long after, Yelu Bijie, the commander of the Eastern Route Army of Liao, led his army to retreat northward, and the Huaixi army occupied Jiangning Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and other places. The land population recovered by Liu Guangshi was almost incompatible with Zhao Xingde. Therefore, the court rewarded generously and promoted the title of Qingyuan Marquis, which was entirely because of his father's elegance.

"You don't know," Ma Yuan shook his head and said contempt, "We are fighting north to the Central Plains and recovering Bianliang. The territory of thousands of miles was killed. It was killed tens of thousands of Liao bandits, and they fought over the Yellow River. The envoy of Huaixi Xuanfu was able to take advantage of the situation. He heard that the Liao army in the southeast was eager to return home, but after Yelu Dashi retreated, Jiangbei and Huainan were occupied by our army. The Liao army had no way back to the north. The commander Yelu Bijie also restrained his subordinates and did not allow soldiers to withdraw. Therefore, the Huaixi army cast many copper coins called "Recruiting Xinbao", and tried every means to distribute them to the Liao army in Jiangnan, and told the Liao army that as long as he

We returned north with silver and money, and the Yangtze River Ferry, Huaixi and Huainan were unimpeded. As a result, the Liao army retreated north one after another, and Yelu Bijie could not suppress it, so we had to retreat across the river. As soon as our reign changed, the generals in Bianliang were weak, so we could only strengthen the walls and clear the fields. In this way, the Liao army on the east route retreated to Hebei intact." Ma Yuan said while shook his head and regretted it. The Liao army invaded the south, and the lives of people passed by were miserable. Ma Yuan and others wished that they could not return. If Liu Guangshi guarded the Yangtze River defense line, cut off the Liao army's way back, and waited for Han Shizhong's troops to go down the river, the two armies worked together, and they might be able to wipe out the Liao army on the east route in Jiangnan.

"That's right, Liu Guangshi is afraid of the enemy like a tiger," another officer named Luo Quji shook his head and said, "If I were asked to go to Huaixi, I would rather go to the fields, or go to the prefectures and counties to train troops. There are also very few people in the regiment training in various places." The generals showed thoughtful expressions, and some people agreed: "That's right, if it's a corps like Liu Guangshi, it's better to go to the fields." "Whether to go to the regiment training, you won't leave your hometown, and you won't be as strict as the military's control.

"In fact, Liu Guangshi was relaxed in his army and took good care of the capable officers, even to the point of indulgence. In order to recruit soldiers, he recruited all of them, whether it was bandits and thieves who occupied the mountain and became king, rebels who rose up, or scattered defeated soldiers. Although the Huaixi Army was newly built, it quickly expanded to 80,000, which was twice as many as Han Shizhong's troops in his army. Despite this, none of the officers who returned from Henan were willing to join the Huaixi Army.

While everyone was talking, a sudden shout came from the pavilion next to him: "It's ridiculous! It's shameful! It's a pity! I also said that the sages are well-read, and they are different from that brave man. They are in trouble and should think of serving. Who knows that they all gathered together to discuss how to shrink their heads. The Song Dynasty has been raising scholars for a hundred years, but they have raised such a group of rats! Bah! You dare to call yourself a person, how can you have the face to meet the ancestors after death!" The voice was old and hoarse, but it was extremely loud, and penetrated the next door. The officers could hear it clearly. Obviously, the person next to them was yelling and scolding at them. Some were furious and slapped the tables and scolded them. Some even stood up on the spot, pushed open the door, and wanted to settle the score with the person next to them.

Liu Wengu and Ma Yuan also stood up and followed the officers to the pavilion next to him. They saw a round table of Eight Immortals with rosewood. Four old men sat next to the table. These aggressive officers blocked the door. Both of them showed nervous expressions in the room, and one of them showed a look of sorrow. Among them was the pale-bearded old man with wide hair and wide eyes and stared at the door without hesitation. It was obvious that he was the one who was scolding the wall.

"What? Be brave to fight privately and afraid to fight publicly! Do you dare to tear my old bones off?"

"Old guy, you're looking for death!"

Luo Quji couldn't help but rushed to grab the old man's mind and told him to regret it. Although he was a student in the army for a long time, he was still very angry. As soon as he rushed two steps, he was pulled by Ma Yuan. "Let go!" "Stop!" The two roared at the same time, and the other officers looked at each other. At this time, Ma Yuan winked at Liu Wengu and asked him to help pull Luo Quji. He let go of his hand and walked slowly, bowed respectfully to the old man with a worried face and said: "I am reckless, please forgive me for your sins. I have to see you all, how lucky I am to be."
