Chapter 17 Chapter 17 People Arrive in Fugu

Yang Hao won. Mr. Ye is really good at playing with birds. He caught an eagle in less than two days, a real prairie eagle, and a small eagle. Jumping and jumping, Mr. Ye, who was originally regarded as a vengeful enemy, was immediately regarded as a god-man in his eyes, and he was worshiped as a master of eagle training. Because of this bet, Mu Yu became Yang Hao's man in a daze.However, where Yang Hao will go after civil affairs is still unknown, and besides, he is too young, he would have to be two years older to work in the yamen, so he can't accompany him at the moment. I stayed in Mu's house for another two days, and on the third day, the people sent by General Zhe to welcome the imperial envoys and immigrants arrived. The person who came was Ma Zongqiang, the military capital under the tent of General Zhe, and the person who accompanied him was The commander of the local army is Chi Zhong.

Ma Zongqiang is a young man in his early twenties. In the Northwest, there are many soldiers who carry swords to fight the enemy at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but it is rare to see an official in the military capital Yuhou in his twenties. There is no doubt that Zhe Yuxun is a confidant.Chi Zhong is the commander of the local army. He is in his forties, with deep eyes and eagle nose. Yang Hao borrowed the living room of Mu's house to meet the two generals, and when the hot tea was served, Ma Zongqiang said with a smile on his face: "Qing Envoy Yang, I know that the imperial envoy brought the people of the Northern Han Dynasty to Fuzhou. I came here to greet you in person, but I was too busy with official duties, so the special general came here on his behalf to welcome the imperial envoy and the people to Fuzhou. To show grandeur, the leader of the Red Army will personally lead his troops to escort you there."

Chi Zhong clasped his fists together and said loudly: "It's an honor to be the pioneer of the imperial envoy angel." Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Master, you are being polite. Now that the soldiers and civilians have been safely brought to the territory of Fuzhou, it is enough for me to be an emigration mission appointed by me. Yang Hao has a low position and dare not be treated with such courtesy by the two adults. Now that Yang Hao has arrived here, everything should be arranged by the Jiedu Envoy. However... I still have some doubts in my heart, General Ma, I don’t know how the Jiedu Envoy plans to arrange these tens of thousands of people? Yang Hao should go to the mansion Gu has met Lord Jiedu Envoy, but these tens of thousands of people have trekked all the way to mobilize the army, and Jiedu Envoy is sympathetic to the people, if there is a place for them to be resettled, it is better to send them directly to the place where they are resettled."

Ma Zongqiang said with a smile: "Well, you don't have to worry about this, the envoy Yang Qin has already selected a place for these tens of thousands of people. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. The common people can definitely live there, and they don’t have to worry about their livelihood in the future. Li Yuchang has already rushed to build houses for the common people. The rice, oxen, plows and other things needed by the court will not be paid by the court. Lord Jiedushi will also allocate funds from the local government, so the common people must settle down first..."

Yang Hao was overjoyed, bringing these people out, his mission as an imperial envoy would be over.How to arrange the rest is a matter for the court, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, but after spending so many days together day and night, sharing life and death together, he has feelings for each other. I deeply feel the people's dependence on him and their desire for a peaceful life, and that sense of responsibility will never go away. After discussing with the two generals and resting for a while, Yang Hao bid farewell to the people in Mu Kezhai and led the people to Fugu.Tens of thousands of people are always slow to act, but no matter how slow they are, there is still a way to reach the end. After a few days of driving, we will arrive at Fugu tomorrow. Yi got up and left the tent.

This is a grassland, surrounded by Chizhong soldiers and horses, and in the middle is the resting place for the common people.The common people lived in the marching tents, and there were no lights in the tents at this time, only piles of bonfires lit by the soldiers in the surrounding area, like stars in the sky, listed outside. Yang Hao walked to the high place of the green grass slope, sat down on the grass, under the quiet starry night sky, looking in the direction of Fugu, his mind wandered for a while.After narrowly escaping several times, now he is about to hand over the heavy responsibility. He is relaxed, but he is also a little empty and dazed.A man must have some responsibilities and some things to bear in order to have the motivation and meaning of life.

However, the responsibility here is over, is it really easy?Bazhou.Bazhou... Yang Hao couldn't help turning his head and looking back. In Bazhou, he had his most difficult years and his sweetest memories. Now everything is like a mirror, and when he looks back, he is already alone... "Bazhou, Ding Chengye!" Thinking of the pain, Yang Hao clenched his fists. "Yang Hao!" There was a sudden call from behind, Yang Hao's body shook, his clenched fists slowly loosened, he turned his head, and saw Tang Yanyan standing down the slope.She tied a soft cloak around her shoulders, and the cloak fluttered with the wind, and her long hair flew up.That hair, the bun has been loosened, and the long hair hangs down. The soft long hair hugs her face, and the pair of shining eyes on her face are as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Miss Tang, are you still awake?" Tang Yanyan smiled, clasped the cloak tightly with both hands, and walked over step by step under the starry sky.The steps were light and gentle, like a cat walking among the grass.It was the first time for Yang Hao to see her walking with such a feminine look.It was the first time the two had seen each other at night since that night. "Aren't you too?" Tang Yanyan sat down beside him graciously, and looked at him sideways, perhaps because she was getting closer to the house, her courage strengthened, and her expression was very peaceful.

Yang Hao tacitly did not mention the embarrassment of that night. He smiled peacefully and said: "This journey, sometimes fighting with the world, sometimes fighting with enemies like wolves and tigers, and escaping several times, is about to be completed. The mission is over, but my heart is a little dazed and empty, and I can't sleep." Tang Yanyan smiled and said: "I really don't understand what you men are thinking. Why are you so at a loss? After handing in this job, you feel relaxed and happy. You should be happy. After this matter, you are all in charge. Is it time for a promotion?"

"Maybe." Yang Hao looked into the distance and smiled sadly: "Luo Kedi is dead, Liu Haibo is dead, Helong City is dead, there are many soldiers, many people, I am still alive, I just feel... I am alive I owe them a promotion... I don't mean to be happy, but full of uneasiness." "You, don't suffer so much, okay?" Tang Yanyan held his hand emotionally and said gently.Her little hands are cool and cool, as if she just took a bath, and her skin is smooth and soft: "You don't owe anyone anything, you have done what you need to do, and you have done it well. You don't know how the people treat you now What kind of trust and support. Do you know how difficult it is for people from thousands of families and different states and counties to respect a person sincerely? You have done it, and you are a great hero. Hero, no You must swing your sword and chop off people's heads, and your sacrifice is no less than those of the dead soldiers."

Yang Hao looked at her with some surprise, he didn't expect that this girl who always gave him the impression of being savage and willful would actually have a tender and pleasant side.When Tang Yanyan saw him, he suddenly remembered that he was still holding his hand, his face became hot, he quickly withdrew his hand, and said coyly: "Actually...he is not so unreasonable. It's just...my brother at home A bunch of brothers, cousins ​​and cousins, but not a single sister, they hang out with them and are used to speaking loudly, if you don’t speak loudly, they won’t be afraid of you.” Yang Hao couldn't help laughing "puchi", Tang Yanyan said anxiously: "What I said is true..." "Of course I believe it." Yang Hao looked at her beautiful face with a smile, and somehow suddenly remembered the surprise he saw in Puji Temple that day: Suyue's small waist, plump buttocks, Like a peach just turned red.This face and that face appear alternately in my mind, and they are all unforgettable scenes.A savage woman, suddenly gentle as water, like a cold beauty who suddenly smiles charmingly, has a very visual impact and makes people feel distracted. Tang Yanyan was flustered by his burning eyes, she shrank subconsciously, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Suddenly, another beautiful figure appeared in Yang Hao's mind, like a fragrant gardenia, sobering up his mind, he shook his head, and the blazing flames in his eyes suddenly dimmed: "It's nothing, girl Go back to sleep earlier. I will sit down and go back to rest." He turned his head and looked up at the sky full of stars.Tang Yanyan stared at him quietly for a while, and then raised her head, but what caught her eyes was the bright starlight every day, and what hovered and lingered in her heart was always his figure.There are many brothers in the family, and it is not the first time that she has been so close to a man. Why is she so nervous, her heart beating so fast, and her face so hot this time? As if drinking a pot of fine wine, she was dizzy for a while, she couldn't help turning Yang Hao's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "It's over here, will you stay here?" Yang Hao came to his senses, hesitantly said: "I'm afraid... I can't decide this matter." Tang Yanyan smiled shyly: "I was asking what you mean. If you want to stay here, I can ask the third brother to speak for you. He has always been on good terms with the eldest son of Zhefu, and it is easy for you to say a word. , just... I'm afraid you won't want to part with the colorful world of the Central Plains." Yang Hao said: "The world of flowers and flowers in the Central Plains?" He sighed with emotion: "I heard someone say a word before, that person said, if you think of heaven in your heart, then you will be in hell as well. Hell, then being in heaven is also hell. Without relatives, friends, and the person who wants to be with you day and night, what if you go to the prosperous place in the Central Plains?" Tang Yanyan's face turned red, she... finally heard Yang Hao's confession.The little girl was full of joy, shy for a while, then lowered her head, and said softly: "You...you have me in your heart...I am very happy..." "Huh?" Yang Hao was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized.She thought...the person she said wanted to be with her day and night was her...how could she make such a misunderstanding?Not long after Dong'er passed away, the beautiful image was still in front of him, and Yang Hao's heart was not healed. Although the girl in front of him was quite attractive, and he liked her straightforward temperament, he really never thought about further development. Seeing that the girl misunderstood him and confessed his feelings at this time, Yang Hao realized the seriousness of the problem.In this girl's heart, there must be a lover, and then everything will be fulfilled.But he has already passed the age of dreaming, how can he only think about love and ignore other things? This seizure of the festival is a great treason, and there must be a censor in the court to participate in the impeachment.However, tens of thousands of people were successfully brought out of the Northern Han Dynasty. While preserving the official name, it seriously weakened the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty.Once this merit is passed, whether it will be rewarded or punished depends on the officials' thoughts.Now that he doesn't know the ups and downs, how can he think about his family? He must go back to Bazhou to settle the grievances. Without Ding Chengye's criminal evidence, it would be very difficult for the officials to deal with it. If personal power is used, the consequences will be unpredictable.Furthermore, Tang Yanyan is the eldest lady of the Tang family, and the Tang family is very powerful, so he may not be an eighth-rank official in his eyes. Can he agree to marry the eldest lady of the Tang family to him?The Tang family is attached to the Zhe family. If you marry the eldest lady of the Tang family, it means that you are on the side of the Zhe family.He didn't remember any feudal town in the history of the Song Dynasty that could compete with Zhao Guan's family to the end, and they were not all cleaned up in the end.Is it worth it to get on a sinking ship? With all these concerns, Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Miss Tang, you...you misunderstood me, Yang Hao has no plans to start a family yet." Tang Yanyan was even more shy, her chin almost reached her chest, covered her face with her sleeves, and said shyly: "I... I don't want you to marry me right away..." It's bad, this matter is getting more and more serious, Yang Hao's face turned pale, and he stammered: "Girl...you...I...I mean, I'm burdened now, my future is uncertain, I don't want to involve my children Personal affair." "What?" Tang Yanyan raised her head abruptly, her face turning pale: "You...what do you mean? If you have no affection for me...then...then why did you... Why did you confess to me like that?" Yang Hao said in amazement: "On Zhulang River? When did I confess my love to you on Zhulang River?" Tang Yanyan was furious, jumped up and said: "Are you going to play tricks? At that time you pointed at me, pointed at your heart, pointed at the sky, pointed at the sky..." Tang Yanyan explained it plausibly, and listened to Yang Hao He was stunned, he didn't expect such a big oolong in the charade, Yang Hao panicked, stood up quickly, and explained his original intention. Tang Yanyan was like thunder when she heard it. She didn't expect that everything was self-indulgent. She felt ashamed and ashamed for a while, and felt a sad feeling in her heart that she had never felt before.Her nose fluttered a few times, and her two big eyes were filled with tears. Seeing her tearful eyelashes, Yang Hao felt quite uneasy, and hurriedly said: "The girl is beautiful and beautiful, and she is willing to favor me, that is Yang Hao's blessing. However, Yang Hao is too burdened, how dare he give it to her?" What kind of promise do you make? How can you be worthy of such affection from a girl..." "Get lost!" Tang Yanyan said with a livid face, pointing at the tip of his nose bitterly. "Miss Tang..." With a clang, Tang Yanyan, who had turned into anger from embarrassment, drew his sword out of its sheath: "Get out of here, get out of here, don't get out!" Yang Hao knew that his body was much bigger than that long worm, no matter how bad Miss Tang was, she would never miss this sword. Now that she is angry, it is better not to provoke her, so he ran away without stopping. Tang Yanyan stood there holding the sword, gritted his teeth and watched Yang Hao run away, suddenly slashed and stabbed the sword, and cried loudly: "Hello, hello, I told you to get out, and you really got out. You heartless bastard..." Cheng Dexuan, who specially lived in the same tent with the military clerk, was sitting cross-legged under the lamp writing a book, and vaguely heard someone yelling "bastard", he immediately pricked up his ears guiltyly, listened carefully, and instead listened There is no sound.Cheng Dexuan was worried, and hurriedly tiptoed to the tent, poked his head out like a groundhog to look around, saw nothing, then slipped back under the lamp, picked up a pen and wrote again: "...Yang Haocheng On the horse, I first heard the people shouting 'Long live', and I couldn't control my expression of joy. When I saw that the ministers and the soldiers of the imperial army stood up and did not kneel, they became alert, hurriedly got off their horses, and knelt facing the east, shouting 'Long live my emperor'..." After Han Dexuan finished writing the letter to Zhao Guangyi, he read it carefully under the lamp, and seeing that there were no mistakes or omissions, a cold smile appeared on his lips.He blew on the ink marks, carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket, reached out and flicked out the candle, and that gloomy smile was submerged in the darkness... At dawn, Yang Hao stopped putting on his clothes, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Ma Zongqiang, the capital of the Fugu Army, standing upright in front of him, and he was startled. Yang Hao quickly took a step back, cupped his hands and said, "Ma The general is here, what's the matter?" Ma Zongqiang coughed dryly and said, "Miss Tang took her people away before dawn." Yang Hao was startled, and lost his voice: "Ah! Where did you go?" "Go back to Fugu." Only then did Yang Hao feel relieved, he thought for a while, and smiled wryly to himself: "My future is uncertain now, how can I fall in love with others and make a secret commitment for life, isn't it enough that I have already killed one? Miss Tang, I will Painful, I don’t expect you to understand, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Yang Hao is really sorry..." He breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Hehe, Miss Tang has more than twenty brave warriors, so she didn't have to walk slowly with us, so let's go first...cough cough, let's go first .” Ma Zongqiang said with a strange expression: "Miss Tang is leaving, please ask me to bring you a message..." Yang Hao became nervous, and asked guiltily, "Miss Tang...what did you say?" Ma Zongqiang's expression was even weirder: "Miss Tang said that she will wait in Fugu with all the brothers of the Tang Sect. The account in Puji Temple, including the principal and interest, must be settled with you, Master Yang... " When Yang Hao heard this, he was stunned. Seeing this situation, General Ma thought to himself: "Poor thing, look at this virtue, Envoy Yang Qin really owes him a lot of money..."
In Fugu, Baihuawu, and Baihu Festival Hall, the military governor of Yong'an Army, Zhe Yuxun was dressed in military uniform, sitting upright. Jiedu envoys have six banners and two door tooth flags, and have the right to open government offices in the mansion, called Jietang.Because the festival hall is generally set on the west side of the mansion, and the white tiger symbolizes the west, it is called the White Tiger Festival Hall.Baihutang is an important place for military aircraft, which is equivalent to the armament command of future generations, and non-military aircraft affairs cannot be handled here. At this time, Zhe Yuxun was sitting high above the handsome hall, dozens of generals in front of the hall were all standing in armor, Zhe Yuxun was majestic, he raised his voice to dispatch troops, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and the generals answered orders endlessly.After the order was finished, Zhe Yuxun rose up against the case and said to the generals standing like a mountain: "The generals will go to various places and lead troops to guard strictly to prevent the entry of bandits and bandits. Chaos, generals, step back." All the generals shouted loudly, and Ye Zijia was stunned for a while, and then they all withdrew from their tents, and those who were ordered to increase troops to guard various key passes galloped away immediately.Those who wanted to follow the general to quell the rebellion rushed to the school grounds to stand by.There are also military commanders, secretaries, documents, orderly messengers, troop dispatchers, and grain dispatchers, which is a lively scene. After all these people had retreated, there were only five solitary generals left in the hall. Except for one of the five who was about 30 years old, the other four were all young generals. One over sixteen or seventeen years old.The thirty-year-old general was Zhe Yuxun's younger brother Zhe Yuqing, and the four young generals were Zhe Yuxun's sons Zhe Weizheng, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weichang, and Zhe Yuqing's son Zhe Haichao. The outsiders had all left, so Zhe Yuqing took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, swords and guns have no eyes in battle, so you must be careful when you go." Zhe Yuxun laughed and said, "Hey, it's not like the second brother doesn't know the purpose of my going here, is there any risk? Haha, but even if I'm just pretending to go, I won't be able to come back for a while, otherwise I'll face the officials. It must not look good. I have already submitted a memorial to the officials. First, it is to explain that the Seventh Department of the Party has rebelled. Tens of thousands of Northern Han people have arrived in Fuzhou safely, and the envoy of this festival has arranged for them to go to Luhe Ridge, where the water and grass are abundant and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away..." Zhe Yuxun's youngest son, Zhe Weichang, interjected, "Daddy, I'm afraid that once the officials know the terrain there, they will know that Daddy has become wary of the imperial court." Zhe Weichang is only twelve years old this year, so he is indeed younger, but most of the Zahu people in the Northwest and the Khitans in the north go to battle at the age of twelve or thirteen. He went to fight at a young age, but every time the festival hall was dispatched to dispatch troops, Zhe Yuxun also made him stand in armor and receive training. Hearing his question at this time, Zhe Yuxun laughed loudly. He stepped down from the commander-in-chief, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Chang'er, the Zhao family needs to understand the geographical situation there before they can know your father's intentions? But see Northwest wars are raging again, and your father personally took command of the expedition, so he knows it well. It’s just that this layer of shame is not easy to tear apart. I will give him a step, and he will let me go. Everyone just muddle along.” After finishing speaking, Zhe Yuxun turned his head to Zhe Yuqing and said, "Second brother, Luhe Ridge is the name of the local land. It was vaguely mentioned in the memorial for my brother. The officials will not know where it is for a while. After I leave, then An imperial envoy is here, you must leave him in Fuzhou, and send someone else to lead the people to Luheling." "Leave him in Fuzhou? Brother's intention..." "That's right, keep him in Fuzhou. What if he accompanied him to Luheling and found the subtle geography there, and raised an objection immediately? We and the officials, even if we are pretending to be polite, we have to be polite now. That’s why you’re ugly to each other. So, you have to keep him in Fuzhou, give him money if he likes money, drink with him if you like wine, if you like women, Weizheng, take your Qin family’s Tang family’s Let all your friends come and accompany him to find flowers and ask Liu, in short, let him stay in Fugu, until the immigrants from the Northern Han Dynasty settle down in Luling River and cannot be changed." Zhe Yuqing and the four nephews clasped their fists at the same time, and responded loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" Zhe Yuxun threw away his long beard, Danfeng narrowed his eyes, and laughed out loud.
When Yang Hao brought the tens of thousands of people to Fugu, they separated at a fork in the road. The local officials sent by Fugu led the people to a westward road, saying that they were going to Luheling. General Chi Zhong led troops to guard all the way.And Yang Hao was invited into the city to meet with Fugu dignitaries. General Zhe arranged everything in an orderly manner along the way, no matter where the people went, the local fortress would offer hot porridge and hot food, and the welcome was very thoughtful, and there was a loyal army guarding them during this trip, so Yang Hao was not worried. In fact, it is useless for him to worry. His mission is to bring people out safely. This mission has been completed. Now how to resettle these immigrants is a matter for the local government, and he no longer needs to worry about it.It's just that he, the imperial envoy, hasn't returned the edict yet, and the Jieyue is still in his hand, so he was treated so politely by the general to sell off Zhao's official family. If you dare to talk to him with your eyes sideways, who would be so polite to him. Fuzhou City is divided into the South City and the North City. The two cities face each other across the river and form the horns of each other.Beicheng was built on a mountain ridge, facing the Yellow River, with steep cliffs and dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack.There are four gates in the east, west, north and south and three small gates in the south, the south, the west, and the control.Baihuawu, Zheshi's mansion, is located in this city. On the south side of Beicheng, there is a deep stream that pushes the Yellow River to the north and rests on the mountains. It is called Yingpan Ridge, and there are heavy soldiers stationed here.On the north side of Beicheng is Shizuiyi, which is also a military fortress in Fugu. Beicheng faces the Yellow River and leans against high mountains. On the opposite side of the South City, the terrain is no less dangerous than the North City.A big river runs from north to east and flows into the Yellow River. The city faces the river on one side and leads to the grain road in Linzhou on the other.The remaining two sides are cliffs, and the three sides are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only one side is a flat river. Once the city is lost, it will never be recovered. The city Yang Hao wants to enter is Nancheng. Compared with Beicheng, Nancheng is more prosperous and rich. Many Fugu government officials and wealthy gentry live in this Nancheng.Seeing that he was about to reach the city, Yang Hao couldn't help feeling worried. Given his official position, he naturally didn't expect the General Zhe to line up outside the city to greet him, but he was very afraid that Miss Tang would pull out all the disciples of the Tang Sect to greet him at the city gate. If one arrives at the foot of the city of Fuzhou, there are a hundred strong men from the Tang Sect standing in front of the city gate, and a weeping little lady standing in front of it, stopping the horse and yelling at the heartless person, the scene will be spectacular, and I will lose my face I went to grandma's house.According to Tang Yanyan's personality, it's not like she can't do this kind of thing. Therefore, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city, Yang Hao was walking on thin ice as if he was facing an abyss, trembling and fearful. Seeing his serious face, the wall host beside him couldn't help but smiled and said: "You have even seen the official family. A Jiedu envoy, why are you so nervous?" Yang Hao rubbed his chin, and said in a bitter way: "Su, do you think my brother is so charming? I have never dressed up before, so why are you attracting bees and butterflies?"
