Chapter 373: No clothes
In March of the third year of Jianxing, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty led his army to march south.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty gave him a golden axe, one with a bent lid, one each with feathers and drums at the front and back, and sixty tigers and beni, to show his strength during his southern expedition.
Ten miles outside Jincheng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty personally led his ministers to send Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to march south.
Flags are flying, soldiers are arrayed, swords and guns are flashing white, adding a bit of murderous aura to the sky.
At this time, Jincheng has begun to warm up.
But in this solemn atmosphere, it seems that the temperature has been lowered again.
"Nanzhong is a place of miasma. I hope my father-in-law will take care of himself when he is gone. There are few people in the Han Dynasty who cannot live without my father-in-law. I stay in Jincheng and look forward to my father-in-law's early triumphant return day and night."
Adou looked at his father's spotted temples and bowed deeply.
"Since I have been entrusted by the late emperor and my majesty has placed my trust in you, how dare I not serve you to the death?"
Zhuge Liang quickly bowed in return.
"My father-in-law has left, and I feel helpless in my heart. Before I leave, can you tell me when I will be able to return? It can also reassure me."
Adou looked at the ministers and soldiers who were far away and asked in a low voice.
“The clown in Nanzhong is not a serious enemy. It’s just that the journey is far away. It takes one month to go and another month to return, plus half a year to calm down the chaos, and we can return at the end of the year.”
Zhuge Liang looked at Adou and said comfortingly, "No matter whether there is General Wei in the north to block Cao's thieves, Sun Wu is an ally in the east, and the veterans of Jincheng also have Xiang Juda, Fei Wenwei, Dong Xiuzhao and others, who are enough to assist Your Majesty. Dealing with political matters.”
"Zhao Zilong has a high prestige in the army. With him here, Jincheng will be safe and sound. Your Majesty, just relax."
Adou nodded and said, "In that case, Chan can wait for Xiangfu to return at the end of the year with peace of mind. Nanzhong's stability will be troublesome to Xiangfu."
“Old minister, I will live up to your majesty’s expectations. I will go now!”
Zhuge Liang saluted again, then turned around, raised the long sword symbolizing the seal of command, and shouted, "Let's go!"
The orders were passed down from level to level, and the previously motionless military formation suddenly began to come alive.
I saw groups of soldiers moving forward like snakes, starting to slowly crawl towards the south, and then moved faster and faster, raising waves of dust, and finally turned into a sky full of yellow sand...
Feng Yong was not qualified to stand among the important ministers to see off Zhuge Liang. He could only stand on the edge of the crowd and watch from a distance.
Looking at the neat troops and the high-spirited soldiers, silently but firmly following the flag in front of them heading south, Feng Yong could not help but feel a sense of admiration for Zhuge Liang.
Two years ago, the Han Dynasty lost its troops and territory. The army had no fighting spirit and the people had no confidence.
Two years later, the Han Dynasty was able to regroup, not only allowing the people to work with peace of mind, but also keeping the appearance of the soldiers in such order, which is really rare.
Not to mention, both the government and the public were very confident in this southern expedition, and no one thought it would fail.
Just look at the price of food and you will know.
"Beat the drums and boring them, and use the troops enthusiastically. I am marching south alone in the land of the city and the canal... The agreement between life and death is broad, and I said it to my son. I will hold my son's hand and grow old together with him. I am sighing for the vastness, but I am not alive. I am sighing for Xun. Hey, I don’t believe you.”
I don’t know where the singing came from, the sound was melodious and ethereal.
As soon as the singing ended, loud cheers came from the farewell people: "Cai!"
Then someone was fencing and singing: "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear..."
For a time, many people started singing along.
He turned to Li Yi and Yang Wanwan who were following behind him and said, "Let's go! Go back to the city!"
After saying that, he ordered Buqu to bring the horses over, get on top of them, tighten the ropes, and the horses under him neighed loudly, and each man and the horse rushed forward like an arrow off the string.
“Brother is good at riding!”
Li Yi followed behind and praised loudly from a distance.
The closer he got to Jincheng, the more pedestrians there were. Feng Yong only sprinted for three or four miles before he had to rein in his horse and walk for a walk.
Although the journey was not long, Feng Yong finally let out the breath in his chest and felt refreshed and comfortable.
Thinking about it just now, it was like a BUFF was suddenly added, and the riding skills suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
Get on the horse, start, accelerate, all in one go, without any unnecessary movements.
Yang Wanwan was originally from Di and had superb riding skills, but he followed Feng Yong closely throughout the whole process.
After a while, Li Yi also arrived. He smiled cheerfully at Feng Yong and said, "Looking at my brother's riding skills, I know how majestic I am!"
"The great Han Dynasty..." Feng Yong repeated, laughing, "I hope the great Han Dynasty will never fall, and the prime minister will definitely show his power in Nanyi. Let's go and meet those people."
In Jincheng, the restaurant opened by the Huang family does not entertain outsiders today, but only certain guests.
The largest open space in the restaurant has been renovated, and a screen has been placed around it to create a large space, which is then filled with tables and tables.
Many people have already sat on the tables, and people are coming in one after another, and each has found a place to sit down.
Some people were sitting alone in a corner in silence, while others specifically found a table near someone they knew well and sat down.
The table seat closest to the main seat is treated the most differently, and almost everyone who comes in has to say hello to the person sitting there.
This person has a handsome face and an upright sitting posture. He looks very graceful and noble. He has a warm spring breeze-like smile on his face, which makes people feel close to him at first sight.
Many people were surprised when they saw him, and secretly thought, how could he be here?
No one came in for a long time, and everyone thought that everyone was here. Suddenly, the curtain at the door was opened, and another person slowly came in.
The visitor looked around at everyone and smiled, "It seems that Deng is late."
Hearing this man speak, everyone stood up one after another, "Deng Langjun ordered your Excellency to see off the Prime Minister. It is normal that you are late."
“Yes, yes, unlike me, we can only watch from a distance, so naturally we have to go back to the city faster this time.”
…
Although he was talking to Deng Langjun, everyone had surprise in their eyes and couldn't help but look at each other secretly.
The size of this banquet seems to be beyond my imagination?
“Deng Langjun, why don’t you just sit on this case?”
The elegant and elegant Master Junya finally spoke, pointing to the table opposite him with a smile, "It seems that everyone is almost here, and no one should be more suitable to sit in these two seats today than you and me. .”
Deng Langjun looked around and saw that except for that table, all the other tables were occupied.
At that moment, he had no choice but to cup his hands and said with a smile, "Then Deng is welcome."
After Deng Langjun sat down, he asked the young master opposite, "Why are you here, Mi Langjun?"
Mr. Junya smiled indifferently and said, "Don't you, Mr. Deng Lang, know what my ancestor of the Mi family does? It's not strange that I appear here, right? It's the fact that Mr. Deng appears here that makes people feel strange."
"It's not surprising," Deng Langjun waved his hand, "Your Excellency went to Soochow as an envoy and made good friends with Envoy Zhang who came to Sichuan last year. Envoy Zhang has been a close friend of Feng Langjun for a long time and even asked him to deliver a letter to Feng Langjun. Therefore, my master told me to get closer to Feng Langjun."
