Good news? A great victory in Youzhou? what happened? In this season, we are recuperating and recuperating. We have not fought with other places. How can we achieve great victory?
With doubts, Li Er opened Chai Shao's urgent report. The more he watched, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Good! It seems that sending Xiao Rui to Youzhou was right. This guy finally did something serious, and he was worthy of helping him withstand the difficulties of Wu Xing Qi Wang. "
"Haha, folk rumors say that Lao Cheng is a lucky general. Now it seems that this statement is true. This time Cheng Huaimo went to Youzhou and followed Xiao Rui. I am afraid that not only can he learn something, but he may also be able to make some achievements. Credit goes. Fortunately, Xiao Rui is my son-in-law... However, this boy is good at everything, but he is too carefree."
In the harem, Princess Changle was complaining to her sister about the storybook her brother-in-law wrote this time. It was not good at all...
Princess Xiangcheng rolled her eyes at her sister and said, "Isn't there a children's story book specially for you? He wrote this specially for you."
Xiao Changle pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I have been reading it for several days. My brother-in-law said that he should write to us frequently. He writes and sends every day. There should be new stories every day."
Xiangcheng pinched his sister's little face and said, "Look, it's not easy for him to be thousands of miles away and busy with official duties, and he has to be distracted from telling us stories. Do you think it will be like living in Xiaojiazhuang before?" I don’t know how he is doing over there, I heard it’s the border and is there any danger?”
At this time, the personal maid came to report, "Princess, I just heard that the prince-in-law has made great achievements in Youzhou. The Turkic cavalry has invaded, and the prince-son-in-law is planning to win a great victory."
What? ? ? Was there really a war? Xiangcheng's face turned pale with fright.
She was not afraid of the war, but of her lover. Regardless of the rules and etiquette, she picked up her skirt and ran towards Tai Chi Hall.
It didn't take long for Xiao Rui's victory to spread throughout Chang'an City. Although it was a small battle in which more than a thousand people were beheaded, it was still a victory. The victory against the Turks was very morale-boosting.
The generals of the Ministry of War listened to the military report and thought that it was powerful. One thousand against three thousand, they could behead more than a thousand people. They had less than a hundred casualties. Su Lie, who was leading the army, was a talent.
General Hou Junji frowned and said: "I'm afraid that Turkic general is a stick who doesn't know how to defend. If it were me, I wouldn't stand in a row and charge back. Instead, I would use the carriage baggage as an obstacle and lead 3,000 people to run back until they were ready." Use your power and circle back to meet the enemy."
hiss……
After everyone heard this, they all took a breath. If this was really the case, wouldn't it be possible to ambush him and be killed in reverse?
Old Li Jing stroked his beard to smooth things over, "Fortunately they are not facing General Hou, otherwise they might really fail."
The generals in the Ministry of War all know that there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who are proficient in the art of war, and even fewer famous generals with achievements. There are only three people who can convince everyone: Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty; followed by two people who are equally superior, Li Ji and Hou Junji.
As for whether Xiao Rui will have a place in the future, it is still unclear. After all, Xiao Rui has no record and has always been a civilian official.
Old Li Jing made a final decision and said: "In any case, the merit of the beheading is real, and the Ministry of War should give him credit. Of course, the Ministry of War will also write a summary and shortcomings of this battle and send it to Youzhou, which can be regarded as a tribute to a group of young generals. It’s a reminder that they are young and inexperienced, and we old guys are checking and filling in the gaps behind the scenes. I hope they can grow up quickly.”
Hou Junji couldn't help but laugh, pharmacist, when did you learn this? Then Xiao Rui is your grandson-in-law, otherwise you would be enthusiastic to teach you some tactics?
"Hey, Lao Cheng, I heard that you applied to His Majesty to send your elder son to Youzhou. Could it be that if you knew about the great victory in Youzhou, you would send your child to follow him to perform meritorious service? Isn't that honest?" In the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Yuchi Gong pulled Cheng Yaojin and complained softly.
Cheng Yaojin's brows were filled with joy. Yes, if Huaimo went there, he would not only be able to study, but he might also be able to make meritorious deeds.
"What's the matter? I just found out about Xiao Rui's meritorious service in Youzhou. As you know, my eldest son always causes trouble when he stays in Chang'an, so it would be a good idea to send him to practice. Xiao Rui's martial arts and brains are good, so he can Huai Mo has a good relationship, so I feel more at ease around him."
"Oh... how about I send my uncle also? To be with Huai Mo?" Yuchi Jingde was finally smart for once.
The two biggest gangsters in the court, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, were judged by outsiders as two stupid, big, black, and thick thugs. Anyone who understands knows that Yu Chigong is honest and straightforward, but Cheng Yaojin is different. He is a smart man who is honest on the outside but shady and shrewd on the inside.
Taking a deep look at Yuchi Gong, thinking that his son Cheng Huaimo has a good relationship with brother Yuchi, Cheng Yaojin reminded in a low voice: "Old Hei, we brothers have a good relationship. Let me give you a suggestion, go and borrow Xiao Rui's book from His Majesty A military book. Then send your elder brother as well, there will be no mistake. There are so many dandies in Chang'an City, what's the use of staying here?"
"Oh...that makes sense! Okay, I'll go right away. Not only the elder, but also my two boys will be sent."
"What? Your youngest is only thirteen years old..."
Yuchi Gong didn't care, what happened to being thirteen? I started swinging a hammer at the age of ten and learned blacksmithing from my master.
Cheng Yaojin's request for letters and children was not an isolated case. These people are all good people, and the news spreads quickly. Everyone has heard about it and can see the benefits. So those who were close friends and admired Xiao Rui learned to ask for books. Even Qin Shubao sent Qin Huaidao to follow Xiao Rui.
The most bizarre thing is that Prime Minister Fang Xuanling also wanted to send his son away. He rarely had a hard time and had a quarrel with his wife because of the matter of the second room.
Mrs. Fang was already dissatisfied with Xiao Rui's treatment of Fang Er last time, and now she wants to send her son to Xiao Rui to study? So will our Erlang have a good outcome? Aren’t you being bullied every day?
But who is Fang Xuanling? That vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is precisely because Xiao Rui is not used to these dudes, so you can learn real things by staying with him. As for grievances? It's just a joke between juniors, it's nothing. Xiao Rui, a young man, is a serious person who works honestly and aboveboard, and he won't let others put on his shoes.
After convincing his wife at home, Fang Xuanling went to the house in person to beg Xiao Rui's father, Song Guogong Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was also happy to see that the juniors had a good relationship, and happily agreed to write a letter to help intercede.
So on the way from Chang'an to Youzhou, a group of second-generation people, escorted by the emperor, embarked on their first journey away from home.
In Wuliting outside Chang'an City, a group of parents who saw their children off looked at them with earnest eyes. They watched their sons go away. Although they were reluctant to leave, they were more filled with emotion. It turns out that the children have grown up.
Fang Xuanling said with emotion: "I hope these children can be reborn after returning from this trip."
Cheng Yaojin said in confusion: "Mr. Fang, your second son doesn't know martial arts, so what are you going to learn there? Do you want to make money by studying with Xiao Rui?"
Fang Xuanling didn't mind this guy's joking, but took a deep look in the direction of Youzhou and said meaningfully: "The teacher has been chosen. As for what to teach, just listen to Xiao Rui, whether it's studying literature or martial arts. Business and agriculture are all options.”
"Ah? You are the prime minister. What if your second son becomes a merchant?" Everyone was surprised.
Fang Xuanling smiled: "What happened to the merchants? Merchants are also common people of the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Rui opened Zuixian Tower by himself, and he is also a merchant. Who can disapprove of their ability to make money?"
Cheng Yaojin gave a thumbs up, "No wonder the prime minister is said to be capable of supporting a boat. I am impressed by your magnanimity!"
In Anle City, Youzhou, Chai Shao received the secret message and rushed to Anle City secretly to listen to Xiao Rui's big plan.
"Borrowing a horse from a straw boat? What the hell is that name? Didn't you say you came here to earn money to buy a war horse? Why, now you have changed your plan and changed it to borrowing? There are foreign barbarians all around, who can you borrow from? I heard that you I bought all the money I earned to buy cattle and opened some kind of beef restaurant. Is this the secret buffalo plan you wrote to me about? The imperial court gave you a happy city. It’s a rare opportunity. You can’t use it for public use. "
Listening to Chai Shao's question, Xiao Rui couldn't help but cover his eyes, and said angrily: "Which Hundan made up the rumor?"
When Chai Zhewei saw Xiao Rui looking at him, he quickly stepped back timidly, waved his hands and explained: "Brother-in-law, it's not me, it's really not me. You have strictly ordered it to be kept secret, and I dare not tell my father. Otherwise, I would have explained it earlier. If it becomes clear, father will not misunderstand today."
