Song Dynasty

Chapter 284
But Wang Shen said indifferently: "Why don't you let it go, force it to stay, or just annex it? Are you going to let someone go to war with Li Tianwang directly? Mani and the demon thief have not been eliminated, and our officers and soldiers have internal strife. , wouldn’t it make the thieves laugh to death?”

Yan said that Meng had already figured out why his lord wanted to bring Chen Lanruo's cavalry army to Taoyuan. Seeing that Wang Shen didn't directly deny this, he cheered up, and said: "The military envoy once said a good thing. A strong army is built on the battlefield, and it cannot be raised by raising it alone. The so-called learning of war in the war. If the essence of the left-behind Song army in Dongjing does not go to the battlefield for a long time, I am afraid it will be scrapped. Da Jiang The south is full of mountains and waters. Only in the north of the Yangtze River can General Chen Lanruo use his skills. Our army has limited strength, and the country has fewer and fewer elites over the years. So, why is the Northern Expedition recovering the lost land? The military envoy is coming soon To use troops against Xiangyang, the cavalry army used to be at the right time. Before the national righteousness, any means can be used."

Wang Shen: "Does a gentleman use everything to the extreme? Tell me."

Yan Yuemeng turned his head and followed Wang Shen's gaze towards the cavalry barracks.

During the march, everyone was in a hurry all the way, and everyone didn't pay that much attention.The cavalry barracks were only a hundred steps away from Wang Shen's small tent, and the dense fog was even reddened by the little bonfires.Some cavalry soldiers were eating tea and chewing dry food, while others were sound asleep.Chen Lanruo was patrolling the camp over there with her waist knife in her hand, bending down from time to time to see if the cloaks on the soldiers were covered, and talking to those who were awake from time to time.

In the campfire, her slender figure looked very moving, with a sassy and sharp vigor.

Yan Yue rolled Meng's eyeballs, and suddenly said: "Military envoy, please grant me a serious official position."

Wang Shen was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he said that: "Aren't you a painting admirer in our army?"

Yan Yuemeng: "My subordinates want a civil position, preferably a high-grade civil official like the county magistrate, and ask the military envoy to fill out a report for me. Women, no matter who they are, they always want to find a home. General Chen Lanruo is already so old, she should also find a man. We only need to give her a satisfactory marriage, and she will be able to return to her heart. As long as the military envoy grants this official position to my subordinates, I will be worthy of General Chen The subordinates consider themselves to be a good-looking talent, and their family background and position are not low. If General Chen marries me, I will not lose her. The so-called marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. In this way, General Chen and her cavalry are no different. Will you be able to serve as a military envoy?"

"Ah!" Wang Shen whispered, his face was livid.He looked at the past with a ferocious expression, and said coldly: "Good strategy, good idea!"

Next to him, a personal guard had already drawn out half of his waist knife with a clang, and said through gritted teeth, "Surname Yan, you don't know the relationship between the military envoy and General Chen Lanruo, and yet you say such insane words, are you looking for death?" According to your own appearance, but also worthy?"

"Haha!" Yan Yuemeng burst out laughing suddenly, leaning forward and backward.

Wang Shen asked in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at?"

"Military envoy...Military envoy, you still have General Chen in your heart!" Yan Yuemeng smiled better: "The subordinate tried it, but it worked out. If so, it will be easy to handle. Is it all right? Haha, Li Cheng didn’t know what he was doing this time, and he sent General Chen Lanruo to you. This is God’s will. God will take the blame if you don’t take it.”

Only then did Wang Shen understand, and smiled wryly: "Yan Xuanzan, why bother to play with each other? General Lan Ruo has avoided seeing someone since he came to Dingzhou. This time, he came out on business, and the sum of what he said did not exceed ten. Sentence. She... has a cold heart for me."

"Yes, it's the subordinate's fault. I ask the military envoy to forgive me." After Yan Yuemeng apologized, he continued: "The subordinate's talents and virtues are limited, but I think I have a good sense of people. In the past, when I was in Yingtianfu, Nanjing , the family can be regarded as a prominent local family, and they knew about men and women early. They had a wife and children, but unfortunately they were all in the flames of war. In my opinion, if General Chen Lanruo no longer has military envoys in his heart, he will naturally treat him like a passerby. You can be as generous as you can, why do you need to avoid it. Now she avoids the military envoy, obviously she still can't forget the military envoy."

"If it's another woman, it's fine. General Chen Lanruo is the husband of a female middle school. He is proud and arrogant. Even if he thinks about it, he would not take the initiative to talk to the general. If this is the case, why not go and talk to her? ?”

Wang Shen shook his head: "Yan Xuanzan, you have been in the military affairs of my screen, and you are clear about a certain family affairs. I only have An Niang in my heart, and the imperial court ordered me to send my family to the capital. I don’t know what to do with my marriage? In addition, there is General Kong Xian’s sister Kong Xiaoniang in the mansion, I am already tired of it. If there are more Lan Ruo, what should I do?”

Yes, what should I do?
When modern people talk about the ancients, they envy them for having three wives and four concubines, thinking that it is a man's paradise.But when you arrive in the ancient world, you will be surprised to find out that this is actually farting.

In fact, the ancients practiced the system of monogamy and multiple concubines.In other words, the country legally recognizes that you have only one wife, and the son born to you and your main wife has the right to inherit property and title.As for concubines, their status is equivalent to that of slaves, and their children will also be slaves for generations.

Under such circumstances, if you meet a woman you like, you can only take a scoop to drink.As for other girls with higher quality and family background, after knowing that you are married, they will not talk to you at all.In the end, it still returns to monogamy.

Yes, you can have many concubines.However, according to Wang Shen’s observation after traveling to the Song Dynasty, most of the concubines of rich families were born as maidservants, or daughters of poor families. Not going well.

The reason is simple, nutritional conditions.Ordinary girls can't eat enough for three meals, and work in the fields all day. It's unreasonable to be ugly.

Thinking of this, Wang Shen was stunned for a while.Damn Zhao Gou, Zhao Laojiu, and the damned weak Song Dynasty, even let him send his family members to the capital as hostages.Now that I can't even give An Niang a decent title, how can I promise Lan Ruo anything.

Isn't that a lie?

Yan Yuemeng saw that Wang Shen was still hesitating, and felt very anxious, he said: "Military envoy, this time to destroy Zhong and Yang Yaokou, with the means of military envoy, I think it will only take three to five days. From my point of view. , Li Cheng has already plotted the army envoy to plot my Anlu ambition. In the future, it will be difficult for the two families to fight each other. There is no room for two tigers on the same mountain, with different positions and different courts. If you want to be a military envoy, you don't want to meet General Chen Lanruo on the battlefield in the future. Just imagine, the Tabai army and General Chen's cavalry army confronting each other on the battlefield. What a terrible scene of invaders and enemies. .”

Thinking of this scene, Wang Shen's hairs all stood on end.

"Tabai and General Chen's cavalry are the only ones left for the country and the nation. No matter what, we must save some energy for our Han family!" Yan Yuemeng begged bitterly: "Military envoy, don't hesitate any longer!"

With a bitter look on Wang Shen's face, he murmured: "No, no!"

"If the general refuses to revisit the old relationship with General Chen, this subordinate has an idea." Yan Yuemeng slashed down with his right hand: "Zhong, Yang, scabies is a serious problem for Li Cheng. It's better to do it immediately. Killed General Chen Lanruo and incorporated the cavalry army."

"Ah..." Wang Shen gasped for air, saying that he was not tempted would be a lie.

Yan said that Meng's proposal is indeed the simplest and most direct way.

But, but... am I not a beast if I do this?

Wang Shen, Wang Shen, are you really going to become a hero who would rather me betray others than let others betray me?

No, it can't be like this.

"Well, I'd better go to Xun Lanruo to explain the misunderstanding." Wang Shen smiled bitterly. At this time, he saw a smile flashing in Yan Yuemeng's eyes.Annoyed in my heart: Oops, I fell into his trick.

Although this Yan Yuemeng is quite ambitious and keen on fame and fame, he is loyal to himself, but it is not easy to blame him.

However, this guy has too many eyes and is too uncute!
To fall in love without getting married is to play hooligans, but in order not to meet her on the battlefield in the future, this hooligan really has to play hooligans.As a successful person and a veteran of flowers, Wang Shen doesn't think it's a big challenge to get back together with Chen Lanruo.

Immediately, I convinced myself in my heart, and strode out with a full face.

Before he reached the ground, suddenly, he saw Yue Yun swaying his huge body, walking up to Chen Lanruo with a bang, and threw a big bag on the ground.

With a sound of "crash", the bundle split open, and the silver stiles inside scattered all over the ground, and the silver light shone so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes.

Chen Lanruo was staring at the bonfire in a daze, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yue Yun coldly without speaking.

"This is my savings, I will give it to you to buy your hundred cavalry with horses and matching equipment."

Chen Lanruo's pupils shrank: "Not for sale."

Yue Yun sneered: "You gangsters robbed all the way from Hebei to Hunan, and turned thousands of miles in. Isn't it just for money, I'll just give it to you. Why, it's too small, you can report the number? Anyway, killing good people You don’t need such a good soldier to bully the people, a kitchen knife is enough.”

Soldiers in Sizhou were treated well, fed well, and dressed well. At least those in cold weather didn’t have to wear shabby shabby clothes like other Song Dynasty officers and soldiers.However, the salaries of generals and officials are extremely low, and there are only some allowances on weekdays.To make money, you have to fight on the battlefield.But Yue Yun is an exception, his father-in-law is Du Shu.At that time when the Sizhou army moved to Huangzhou, Judge Du honestly obtained a lot of gold and silver from the Jiankang treasury under Du Chong's nod, saying it was a dowry for Du Shu's daughter.

In this way, Yue Yun can be regarded as a rich man in the Sizhou military system.It's just that this young man doesn't care about money as long as he has meat to eat every day.
