My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 196 Who is the hero of the sea?
Yanzhou, Yanjing in the north.

It was the spring plowing season, and in the fields, there were figures with their families in tow, rolling up their trouser legs and walking back and forth on the thawed soil with bare feet.

Swallows flew up with mud in their mouths, passing by flags one after another, and flew towards the distant villages.

A long queue of people walked along the official road. On the cart in the middle, the curtain was opened, and eyes were scanning the farmers kneeling on the field ridge.

"Wu Zixun, send someone to inform you that the farm work must not be delayed. You don't have to kneel down when you see Wang Jia in the future!"

Su Chen put down the curtain and sat back on the big tiger-skin chair. Sitting beside him was Guo Jia. This time he came out because he asked him to come and see the north.

"It can be seen that the parents and officials in Yanjing are still conscientious in their work. Zhuge Liang is capable." Guo Jia had a smile on his lips, which was not as frivolous as when he first arrived. "It's a pity that he completed Liaodong for Cao Ping." , Jia's body and bones couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't have time to look at the north. If he could live ten more years, he might be able to see the splendor of Wolong at that time."

"Didn't we meet him at the end of the New Year? You were still drinking with him." Su Chen smiled, casually took the information sent from Yanjing and looked through it. From time to time, he would raise his head and look outside. Outside the car curtain, Fang Xuejun was riding a red horse trotting on the side of the team, teaching Yang Yuhuan next to him how to ride a horse.

"Living for the enemy and working together now are two different feelings." Guo Jia yawned and looked at the statue behind him, which was shaking with the car. "However, being able to work side by side with the civil servants and generals of the dynasties before and after, This feeling is even more exciting. I can't say that I can see Huo Qiaoqi drinking his horse in the vast sea... I can meet Ban Dingyuan, who is on an envoy to the Western Regions... Going further, talk to Han Xin about the use of troops... Haha, I want to It’s fascinating to think about.”

"Jiujiu, you have to live a good life. These good days have just begun. You are going to create a world that belongs to us and other Chinese people." Su Chen looked at him and his smile became brighter. "Let the civil servants and generals who once regretted it have a chance to live." A place to showcase your talents.”

But then, his smile froze, and Guo Jia over there asked, "But what's wrong with Yanjing's official document?"

"Haha... naval battle... Over at Feiyun Port, four warships went to sea, but pirates captured two large ships."

Hmm... This was the first time Guo Jia heard about Feiyungang and he didn't know much about it. But after listening to Su Chen tell the whole story, he frowned even more and even shook his head.

"Naval battles... Among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, only the generals from Soochow were familiar with them. However, they mostly fought on rivers. I don't know if they are qualified for naval battles. Even if you use stratagem, the sea is vast, the language is incomprehensible, and the habits are unknown. At most, you can use tactics to lure the enemy."

"You don't have to worry about this, I will figure it out."

In Su Chen's impression, among the previous dynasties, only the Soochow and Ming Dynasties had great water battles, especially the Ming Dynasty, which has historical records. As for Soochow Sun Quan, it's hard to say, and tossing the dice, It is not necessary to select both.

Unless it takes twice as much merit, specify one of them.

"Right now, there are Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu in the internal affairs. With them two here, I have nothing to do in terms of people's livelihood. I can only watch the soldiers' training, the forging of weapons and armor, and, well, Li Xuanba's golden urn, drum hammer , I don’t know if there is enough cold iron in the palace.”

There was an eagle cry in the sky.

Then, Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan screamed outside. Su Chen opened the curtain and took a look. The snowfield eagle flew over with flapping wings, landed on Dian Wei's right arm, and rubbed his head affectionately against Dian Wei's head. .

I didn't take it with me when I went south before, and kept sending the samples to Prince Xia's Mansion. When I had nothing to do, I would fly outside. I guess when I was wandering around, I saw the soldiers and horses returning and Dian Wei in the team, so I flew over directly. .

This scene made Li Xuanba envious. He was 16 years old, or even younger than 16 years old. He tried to touch this big eagle, but he was scratched on the back of his hand, which caused bloody marks.

This made him curse loudly: "Flat-haired beast!" He raised his hand and hit it with a hammer. The eagle flew up into the air and flew away. Dian Wei raised his hand to catch the hammer.

"If you are angry with a beast, believe it or not, your second brother will come out and beat you up."

"Hmph, you will only use my second brother to oppress me!" Li Xuanba put down the hammer, his eyes were cold, he took a few steps and then came back, worried and whispered: "... Let's go back to the trouble, don't tell my second brother. "

Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan on the side couldn't help but pursed their lips and chuckled.

Nearly twenty miles to Yanjing, Su Chen sent an order to ask Li Jue to lead the Xiliang army back to the military camp, and then went to the palace to deliver the order. Soon, the king drove in from the south gate, and the soldiers and guards at the city gate knelt down. land.

When going to Xuanyang Gate along Zhuque Avenue, Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan were going to Prince Xia's Mansion, and Guo Jia was also going to get off here. He probably didn't like the orderly place of the palace. Su Chen knew that he was going What are you doing? Just give me a warning.

"When you get to the brothel, be more restrained and arrange a house for you next to the palace."

"Thank you king!"

Guo Jia smiled and raised his hand, and took only two masters from the embroidery department with him to stroll around the streets. When Wang Jia entered Xuanyang Gate, he asked the two people behind him.

"How about the brothel in Yanjing? How about playing, playing, playing... bah, how about playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Take me there quickly."

The two people behind them looked at each other in confusion. These were the counselors around King Xia. They did not dare to neglect, and they knew that King Xia had given permission, so they had no choice but to lead the way.

Here, the king drove into the palace. Dong Zhuo and Che Jin had already brought the imperial soldiers to greet him outside Chengyun Palace. Dong Zhuo and Zhuge Liang had arrived in Yanjing half a month earlier. This time, he also brought his adopted daughter and mother-in-law to Yanjing. here.

"Greetings to the king!" The two of them stepped forward and cupped their hands.

Su Chen got off the chariot, straightened his royal clothes, and said to the two of them: "Without courtesy, follow me in." Behind him were Le Jin, Dian Wei, Li Xuanba, Cao Lingchi, Qi Youhu, and Zhong Ji. Follow.

A group of generals held their swords and followed the heavy footsteps of the soldiers as they strode up the stone steps behind Su Chen and walked straight into the Chengyun Hall.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty!"

Knowing that King Xia returned to court today, the morning meeting was changed to the afternoon. All the civil and military officials came to the palace to wait after lunch. "Your Majesty, please excuse me."

Su Chen came all the way and was in a good mood when he saw that the government of Yan State was well-organized and harmonious. After entering the palace, there was a smile on his face. Then he came to the imperial steps and raised his hands to the Queen Mother Jiang Wan and the young emperor above.

"Meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wan looked at Su Chen who had come back from a trip. The outline of his face became sharper, and his short beard was full of masculinity. She didn't know what she thought of, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she hurriedly said: "Prince Xia, please forgive me. Please take a seat!”

In the queue, Qin Xiuwen suddenly stood up. Everyone thought he was going to say something difficult, but instead he bowed to Su Chen.

"I, Qin Xiu, have heard that I would like to congratulate the king on his triumphant return, and also express my gratitude to the king on behalf of the people who died in Fenzhou!"

Only then did the others react and quickly stepped forward to congratulate him.

The news only reached Yanjing in early February. Although everyone had expectations, they did not expect such a result. They defeated the elite of Wei State, defrauded the other emperor, and gained the population of Chendu County. This was An unprecedented victory.

When hearing the news, the entire court was silent except for the sound of breathing, and was speechless in surprise. Even the Queen Mother above her eyes widened.

Back to the present.

Seeing how attentive everyone was, Su Chen first glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was at the top of the list. The latter smiled and shook his feather fan. There was no hint, which meant that these people were spontaneously grateful.

"The victory over Wei is actually due to all of you. If you hadn't been busy behind the scenes and provided the supplies needed by the army, it would obviously not have been easy to win."

Su Chen pressed his hand and asked them to return to the queue. Then he threw the white-haired cloak to Dian Wei and sat on the big tiger-skin chair.

"When I came back, I was very happy to see what I saw on the way. Every acre of land was being cultivated by farmers. I can see that you all cared about me during my absence. This is good. It will always be like this in the future. , Don’t be stingy with rewards!”

"That's right!" Su Chen raised his hand and asked Wu Zixun to take out an official document, "Everyone should know about Feiyungang. Four warships were almost destroyed by a ship of pirates, and they were alone all the way. Come here, I have never been so angry, of course, I don’t blame you, who would have thought that a group of barbarians would be so powerful in a naval battle."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War!"

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Qin Xiuwen hurriedly came out: "I'm here."

"Feiyun Port and other military ports mobilize warships to train the navy. If the generals are not good, just change them. In a few days, I will see if there is a suitable general and recommend him to lead the navy."

"Follow the king's will."

Su Chen glanced around: "Ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

The civil and military officials in the palace were silent for a while.

"Then quit the court." Su Chen patted the royal clothes and stood up, cupped his hands towards the Queen Mother, smiled, put on his big cloak and walked straight out of the palace door. The eunuch shouted: "Quit the court!"

Queen Mother Jiang Wan's cheeks were slightly red. She took the little emperor and left before waiting for the officials. When they arrived at the back hall, she called a palace maid beside her and whispered in her ear: "Go and see if King Xia is there." Empty..." The words that followed were as soft as the sound of mosquitoes, so it was difficult to hear them.

at the same time.

When Su Chen went straight to the Yanguo Ancestral Temple, Old God Li Tiangang was holding his fly whisk, watching the Xiliang soldiers carrying the ancestral coffins into the temple, and from time to time directing several young eunuchs inside and outside. Clean it up.

Seeing the tall figure coming with several generals, he stood on the side of the temple gate with a smile and said, "I have seen the king before."

"Have all the lonely ancestors been placed in peace?"

Su Chen passed by him and strode into the temple. This time he wanted to designate an emperor to come out.

"Everything has been placed properly." Li Tiangang lit a stick of incense and held it over.

……

Yanjing, Hongluan Tower.

This is one of the famous brothels in Yanjing. Guo Jia visited two places before choosing this place. First, it had a nice name, and second, he heard that a group of southern girls had come here recently.

Unlike women in the north, women in the south have fair and delicate skin, exquisite facial features, graceful figures, and gentle voices that make people feel numb all over.

Guo Jia’s is the best.

　Today's two chapters choked me to death.

　　The blank period before going south really made Chunfeng rack his brains to connect the plot and enrich the content.
