Chapter 11 The sound of the wind

Weng Cai, who led the guests to welcome the gate, was a vigorous old man, wearing dark silk.

At this time, the clothes and materials are no longer very important. Merchants can wear satin, and farmers can certainly wear them if they have the financial resources. Some of the actors in the brothels of the Jiaofang are dressed more like noble ladies.

Xue Chongxun was a Duke of the State, and even Zhang Wulang, who was beside him, was also a county marquis. The Duke and Marquis were at the door. Cai Weng, a merchant, felt that he was very proud and his face was blushed.

He deliberately raised the volume and introduced it to the guests: Xue Lang, the governor of Shanzhou, Duke of Weiguo, and Zhang Wulang, the Marquis of Lingnan County, General of Jinwu Guard... This lady is the niece of the governor of Cheng Jiedu, Longyou.

The volume was as if the neighbors couldn't hear it.

The status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty was slightly inferior to that of farmers, not to mention the gentry. However, the Tang Dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years and society is becoming increasingly stable. When merchants have money, they can make friends with people of all levels. Their energy is not comparable to that of honest and honest ordinary people.

Because Xue Chongxun has the awareness of modern people, he has no prejudice against people with businessmen. When he saw that Zhang Wulang valued the little girl of the Cai family very much, he certainly wanted to give him face and was polite to those who came to greet him.

But seeing a few blonde and blue-eyed people among the crowd, Xue Chongxun smiled and said: There is a saying in the West, not whether you have heard of it: it is not the imperial army that conquers the world in the future, but the caravan.

Duke Wei was over-reputable and dared not take it or not.

Many merchants were greatly benefited by the governor's hand in hand.

They were also flattering at the moment, praising Xue Chongxun for how good he was to be the governor, how diligent and loving the people.

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: I do nothing every day, and I am really diligent.

The group praised each other and entered the door. In the hall, there were wall door tables and round stools. Everyone sat in different heights. Soon the servants came in with delicious food and wine.

Weng Cai gently slapped his hands, and a group of thin-dressed guzzlies came in and sang and danced in a row.

In fact, Xue Chongxun found it meaningless. Apart from saying some nonsense on the scene, he had no common language with these people. He came purely to give Zhang Wulang face...

If you have any expectations, you want to see how beautiful the little girl Zhang Wulang fell in love with at first sight.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anyone after a long time. I thought to myself that the daughter of the Cai family pretended to be a lady, and she didn't even come in front of others.

When the wine was over, Mr. Cai asked Zhang Wulang to write a poem for everyone to appreciate. It was indeed based on the moon.

Zhang Wulang hadn't spoken much before, probably thinking that he had been silently reciting the poem written by Wang Changling in his heart. It seemed that he had memorized it well, and he could recite it skillfully now.

I don’t know if the crowd understood it, so I praised it without saying a word.

When Zhang Wulang recited the poem, Xue Chongxun silently looked around and thought to himself: At this time, the little girl of the Cai family was hiding somewhere to peek at Zhang Wulang.

Unfortunately, he failed to feast his eyes, and Xue Chongxun felt that this trip was even more meaningless.

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xue Chongxun made some personnel adjustments in military affairs, and Zhang Wulang was the commander of the Shanzhou Army. The candidate for the lieutenant of the Flying Tiger Regiment was promoted from Bao Cheng to the position of Li Kui, Li Kui was promoted from the left brigade commander, and the right brigade commander was promoted from a team named Yin Ci.

Cheng Qianli was also adjusting the deployment of troops, and the main force was transferred to Langzhou in the south, asking General Li Yi to lead 8,000 Jiannan Army to stay in Shanzhou. At the same time, he ordered the main force of Shanzhou Army to be transferred to Shancheng in the west to defend the barrier to Shanzhou in the west. Zhang Wulang also followed the army to Shancheng as a guard.

The atmosphere of war is getting heavier and heavier. There are rumors in the market that there are a lot of signs in Langzhou to quarry, saying that it is necessary to repair fortifications.Some people also said that they should not go to Fuqi City to buy horses, and they should be arrested as if they were carefully done.

There are also rumors that the Tuyuhun people were instigated by Tubo and raised an army that they would come from Shicheng Castle to attack Shanzhou.

Some businessmen were still scared of the large-scale invasion last year and wanted to avoid the war as soon as possible. Some people came out to refute the rumors, saying that there were still several Tang army strongholds west of Shancheng, and there was no movement there, so there was no need to panic. Even if they broke in, there would be no war in Shanzhou before Shancheng was destroyed.

Those people who don’t know the truth listen to the sound of the wind and guess the sound of the rain, but they don’t know what’s going on anyway. And Xue Chongxun can get the military newspaper consultation sent by Cheng Qianli to understand it more accurately.

The information he could know was that the main force of Tang Junjian had crossed Jishi Mountain to Tuyuhun, and fortifications were being built along the border mountains of Hezhou, Langzhou, and there was no confrontation with the main force of the Tubo army yet.

Suddenly one day, Li Yi, a general who stayed in Shanzhou, hurried to Xue Chongxun's signing room and said before he could see him: He had just received an urgent report from the Jiedushi and learned that the Tuyuhun army was on the west line of Shibao City.Beware of the enemy's entry, please ask the Duke of Wei to immediately pass the order of martial law to the Shancheng army, and be vigilant at all sentries and strongholds on the border.

Li Yi is from Jiannan. She is not taller than the northerner. She is quite solid. She doesn't look very old, at most she looks over 20 years old.

The newly-engraved athletes are young from generals to soldiers. In addition to lack of experience, they have an advantage that is easier to manage. The athletes' military discipline has always been very good.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun said: Will the Tuyuhun people fight against Shanzhou?Yes, the Jiedushi transferred all the troops to the southern line, so they naturally had to avoid the real and attack the virtual.

Li Yi clasped his fists and said: Don’t worry, Duke Wei, the governor had expected it, so he left Li here to reinforce defense. Now the border army in Shanzhou and Jiannan army have a total of more than 12,000, which is more than any garrison in any prefecture and county in Longyou Road, and can be sure of no mistakes.

Xue Chongxun thought about it and then felt a little relieved. He immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter, sealed the messenger with a lacquer and sent it to Zhang Wulang to Shancheng.

After this day, Xue Chongxun's mood was not as relaxed as before, and he had less time to sleep every day, and his eyelids kept beating for the past two days, which made him restless.

Zhang Wulang had just taken over the Shanzhou army and had not yet touched the depth of the water, let alone that he had so many people in the first time. Xue Chongxun always felt that it was unreliable. Although it might be better to have Shanzhou veteran Chen Shitang as his deputy, Chen Tuanlian was an unreliable person himself.

It would be great if there was a person who had both Zhang Wulang's knowledge of advance and retreat, and Chen Tuanlian's experience in the Shanzhou army, but where could such a person be found?

General Li Yi, a general of Jiannan Army stationed in Shanzhou, looks too young. Xue Chongxun still doesn't understand what this guy is.

Although there is a saying that heroes have been young since ancient times, Huo Qubing, who was engaged in Longcheng, was also very young at the time, but how could Huo Qubing have been born in hundreds of years?

As the saying goes, "I can't do things with no hair on my lips, Xue Chongxun is still not very relieved about Li Yi."

When he returned to the inner yamen in the evening, Xue Chongxun was still not feeling relaxed. Cheng Ting saw it and asked him what he was worried about.

He thought to himself that what he said to a woman was useful, so he forced a smile and said: It's okay.

Cheng Ting asked again: I heard from others that the barbarians might enter the country from Shibao City and invade Shanzhou. Are you worried about the war?

Xue Chongxun laughed and said: How is that possible?At the beginning, I was alone in Tuyuhun without any pressure. Now there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in my hands. Before the enemy soldiers came, I was scared now?

I originally thought that saying this would show that I was awesome, and even he could not understand this deformed self-esteem.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ting was not happy after hearing this, and said quietly: Everyone says that your husband is obedient to me, but you are happy to joke with me on weekdays, and you keep it in your heart whenever you have something... Do I really matter to you?

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun raised two black lines on his forehead. Should he lie to her or tell the truth?

After weighing the pros and cons, I could only lie to her. According to Xue Chongxun's experience, I had to coax women. Being frank and being lenient will cause endless trouble.

He said seriously: Of course it is very important.

Where is important?You don’t lack women. In terms of beauty, I am not as good as the lord of Jincheng County. I don’t know... Cheng Ting’s emotions are a little out of control. Is it because I am from the Cheng family that you want to use me as a balanced pawn?

Xue Chongxun was shocked after hearing this. She was telling the truth, but why did she sound so awkward?

He pondered for a moment, grabbed her hand and said: There are reasons for this, but when we get along with each other every day, you personally do laundry, cook and do housework for me, and you have a long time of love. How can you not have any love?Just plainness is the truth. Even if a stone covers your chest for a long time, it will become hot. Don’t think too much.

When Cheng Ting heard this, she was very helpful, and she was even more unyielding and stretched out her arm to wrap around Xue Chongxun's neck: Then tell me what she was thinking.

Xue Chongxun had to say out the concerns about military affairs, regardless of whether Cheng Ting could understand it or not. Unexpectedly, after saying it, she felt much better.

After hearing this, Cheng Ting said: Langjun saved Chen Tuanlian's life twice. If he didn't listen to Zhang Wulang's restraint, he would be too ungrateful. Anyone who should try his best to protect Langjun's people in this situation.Wulang has Chen Tuanlian as his deputy, and the military order should be unobstructed. There are 4,000 officers and soldiers in Shancheng, so they can defend the city without any obstacles... If Shancheng falls and falls into Shanzhou in critical condition, my uncle will definitely return to rescue him.You don’t need to worry too much.

Xue Chongxun walked a few steps on the ground and pondered: If the Tubo coalition forces invaded Shanzhou in large numbers, they might be in a long way. He happened to use Shanzhou to restrain the enemy's large number of troops and reduce the pressure on the southern line so that it would be easier to build the defense of the southern line...

Cheng Ting smiled and said: You are a fan of the authorities and are just thinking about the war. In fact, this relationship is very important.Compared with winning battles, the safety of the man's life makes his uncle even more worried... Think about it, if Shanzhou is surrounded and unfortunately broken, if this matter is passed back to Chang'an and said that your uncle will die and you will be killed, even if he wins ten major battles, he will not be able to make up for this mistake, then what hope does he have?

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun suddenly said: It seems that what you said is really the case.Even if Cheng Qianli is eager to defend the enemy, who has no selfishness, and who doesn’t want to make achievements and be named a marquis and ministers to glorify his ancestors?
