Flower Stealing Master - Chapter 1994

[Chapter 1978: The Change of Yangzhou]

The two of them rode north all the way, when Song Qing suddenly asked, “Since the Red Jacket Army has such a relationship with the Yang family, why did the imperial court sit back and ignore it? As far as I know, Liu Yu, the envoy of Huaidong’s system, led 30,000 troops to be stationed there. As for Chuzhou, is Xia Quan so carefree?”

A look of anger flashed in the yellow-shirted woman’s eyes: “It’s okay not to mention that Liu, but when I mention it, I get angry.”

“What’s wrong?” Song Qing vaguely remembered the beginning Yang An’er also seemed to be very dissatisfied with this Liu Yu.

“Speaking of which, everything has to do with the Han Yuzhou-Jia Sidao dispute…” The woman in the yellow shirt sighed and explained the various reasons.

It turned out that Han Chuan was dedicated to the northern expedition, so he naturally valued them, the Central Plains rebels, and sent his confidant Xu Xiji as the envoy of the Huaidong system. Huairou attracted these rebels, and even provided money, grain and weapons. , and succeeded Liu Yu of the Jia faction. He changed his previous policy of embracing softness and planned to completely eliminate this rebel army.

“The emperor doesn’t care?” Song Qing asked suspiciously.

The woman in yellow sneered: “It’s not that you don’t know that our emperor is a capitulator, and he is also worried that the existence of the Red Jacket Army will anger the Jin people and affect him. In addition, there are also scumbags in the Red Jacket Army. While accepting the money and supplies of the imperial court, the generals secretly cooperated with the enemy to resell them, and they were included in a few books by those ministers, which became the last straw that crushed the camel, which made the emperor want to kill.”

Song Qing vaguely remembers the first Red Jacket Army in history. It was indeed an uprising at the beginning, but some of the leading strata later deteriorated and began to support their own troops, taking advantage of both sides between Jin, Song, and Mongolia, focusing on expanding their own power, and did not follow Song’s command.

Of course, the reason for such a result is that, in addition to human greed, various discriminatory policies of the Southern Song Dynasty, such as calling these rebels the Northern Army, not allowing the Northern Army to enter the boundaries of the Southern Song Dynasty, deducting money and food, the Northern Army and the Southern Army had disputes, The superior must be biased towards the Southern Army. In addition, the Song Dynasty has always guarded against generals. Those methods are naturally used on these rebels, secretly suppressing their differentiation, causing the rebels to feel chilled.

The yellow-shirted woman said again: “According to the intelligence analysis, this time Xia Quan annexed the Red Jacket Army, most of which was supported by this Liu Yu!”

Song Qing was somewhat approving: “This Liu Yu’s tactics are very clever, making the two tigers fight, and then reap the benefits, but now that we are involved, naturally we can’t let him get his wish.”

“Yeah!” The woman in yellow shirt He secretly squeezed his fist, thinking that he must save the Yang family this time.

The two walked for a few hours, and finally stopped in a small town. The woman in the yellow shirt said, “Wait for me at the restaurant in front. I’ll come when I go.”

“Where are you going?” Song Qing wondered,

this world I don’t have a mobile phone, what should I do if the two sides get separated by accident?

He was pressed for time this time, so he couldn’t waste time.

The woman in yellow shirt blushed: “I’ll be back soon.”

Song Qing asked, “Is it convenient to go?”

“No!” The woman in yellow shirt spat.

“Oh, then I’ll be with you, so that I won’t be troublesome if we get separated later.” Song Qing followed.

“I’m going to buy clothes!” The woman in the yellow shirt finally couldn’t help but give him a blank look.

“Oh, let’s go together then.” Song Qing said with a smile, seeing her hesitantly before, he thought it was something, as for his own change of clothes, he would just ask the shop assistant to buy it for him, no need to look like Women have to choose for themselves.

“How can this be together!” The woman in the yellow shirt was extremely embarrassed.

“Why can’t we be together? What’s more, I told you to pay the bill for you.” It should be normal to accompany a woman to buy clothes in a previous life, let alone shopping with such a beautiful woman.

After all, the girl in yellow shirt couldn’t beat him. After she arrived at the clothes store, she couldn’t help but complain, “If I didn’t know that you are not strict with etiquette, I would definitely treat you as a prodigal son.”

“I won’t go in, I’ll wait for you at the door, what kind of a disciple is this?” Song Qing naturally knew that the defense between men and women was very obvious in this era. Shops selling women’s items would not sell men’s items, and men would not set foot there at all. such a place.

In addition, clothing stores are different from later generations. Most of the time, they only sell cloth or satin, and customers buy them back and make them according to their own needs.

Of course there are ready-made clothes to buy, but relatively few.

The woman in the yellow shirt was too lazy to care about him, so she picked it out in the store. Now she definitely doesn’t have time to buy cloth for clothes, so she can only buy ready-made clothes.

When the boss saw a fairy-like girl with outstanding temperament, he knew that it must be a big customer, and hurriedly greeted her warmly.

Song Qing leaned against the door and waited for a bit of boredom, and then asked, “By the way, I finally know what the next sentence means in the poem you said to me last time.”

The woman in the yellow shirt who was picking out clothes paused, A blush flashed across his cheeks: “What poem?”

“The spring grass will be green next year, and the next sentence is that the king and grandson will not return,” Song Qing smiled, “I didn’t expect you to expect me to come back soon.”

There was silence in the room, and after a long time, the woman in yellow shirt said, “I don’t remember what poems I said to you

.

”

The woman in the shirt had already walked out quickly with a package in hand: “If I said no, there would be no!” After speaking, she ran away without looking back.

He was about to chase, but was stopped by the store owner: “Hey, hey, I haven’t paid the money yet…”

Song Qing was speechless for a while, so he had to throw him a piece of silver: “No need to look for it.” After that, she hurriedly chased up .

The owner of the store brought a small scale and weighed the silver, and after confirming it again and again, he couldn’t help but pouted: “No more, no less, just right, don’t need to look for it, bah, what a big money, you deserve that angel. The girl is going to run.”

Naturally, Song Qing didn’t know what the boss was complaining about, now he was sitting in a restaurant, admiring the blushing face of the woman in yellow: “In normal times, your skin is too pale, and there is no blood. , or it looks healthier now.”

“It’s up to you.” The woman in the yellow shirt held up the teacup to cover up her panic. She secretly regretted why she had to leave a poem for him in the first place. It was a shame.

Song Qing held her chin and looked at her profile quietly like this. Her face was as white as the first snow, and her soft lines were like a stroke. On weekdays, she mostly looked indifferent and indifferent, which was rarely seen. She showed a shy state, which was really pleasing to the eye.

“Have you seen enough?” Feeling his gaze, the woman in the yellow shirt felt as if it was real, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

“Of course I can’t see enough,” Song Qing said confidently, “The ancients are beautiful and delicious, I finally understand what kind of experience it is.”

“You…” The woman in yellow sighed suddenly, “No wonder there are so many people around you. So many confidantes, there are really not many girls in the world who can stop you from stalking like this.”

Song Qing was startled, and smiled bitterly: “The conscience of the world, I was only thinking of you just now.”

“Then Now?” The yellow-shirted girl looked at him with clear eyes like water.

“Uh…” Song Qing suddenly fell into silence, and was reminded by what she had just said. At this time, a lot of people came out in his mind, such as going north to Yangzhou, he hesitated whether to visit Zhou Zhiruo first, after all, the two of them The separation time is not short.

The girl in yellow also gradually calmed down: “The poem I said to you last time was just out of friendship, so don’t think about it too much.”

Song Qing knew that she was cutting love with the sword of wisdom and deliberately. To alienate the relationship between the two parties, in fact, at this time, as long as you use your own means and check your favorability, it is not impossible to get her love, but now that you are entangled in love and debt, many confidantes can’t see one or two sides all year round, really Are you going to harm the new girl?

“Understood.” Song Qing put away his teasing thoughts and drank the water and wine in the glass.

Seeing his suddenly lonely appearance, the woman in the yellow shirt bit her lip lightly, and she couldn’t bear it for a while: Am I being too heartless?

At this moment, there was a loud noise not far away. A group of businessmen dressed up as they came in and had a drink and chat: “Have you heard that there is a fight in

Yangzhou?” “Yangzhou?” Song Qing suddenly turned around

, What’s going on, why didn’t he get any news.

The woman in the yellow shirt was also taken aback, and also looked at the sound.

“Isn’t Yangzhou the territory of King Qi, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui?”

“I heard that it is Xia Quan from the Red Jacket Army. This Xia Quan is incredible. Since Yang An’er was killed, he suddenly emerged and annexed it. Most of Yang An’er’s forces are now the most powerful of the Red Jacket Army.”

“Didn’t the Golden Snake Camp and the Red Jacket Army have always had a good relationship, why did they suddenly fight?”

“I don’t know, but they Isn’t it normal for these people from green forests to compete for territory? Yangzhou is a famous and rich place in the world, who is not jealous.”

“I don’t know if our Song Dynasty can take advantage of the situation to return to the north and recover Yangzhou.”

“Come on, what kind of urine is the court? You still don’t know what’s going on all these years.”

“Shh, be careful.”

…

Hearing those people’s remarks, the woman in the yellow shirt looked at Song Qing worriedly: ” Brother Song, do you want to ask them about specific things?”

Song Qing shook his head: “No, they are just passing businessmen with limited knowledge, so they can’t ask anything specific.”

“What about us now?” Huang The shirt girl asked.

“Go.” Song Qing got up and walked out.

The woman in yellow hurriedly followed: “Where to go?”

“The biggest brothel in the city.”

“?…”

The yellow-shirted girl stayed outside the brothel, and she dispersed the young masters who came to chat with her. The other party thought she was a girl in the building, and they came to express that they would redeem her no matter how high the price was.

“This bastard, I knew that I would go in with him.” The woman in the yellow shirt had a terrifying expression on her face. Just now, Song Qing went straight in. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to wait for him outside. As a lady, how could she go here? Where to plant?

But she soon regretted it. Standing in front of the brothel was even more eye-catching. She expelled a disciple again. She had to run to the opposite side to find a shadowy place and wait. Running to such a place?”

She is not a fool, she doesn’t think that Song Qing still has the intention to come to such a place to find flowers and ask willows after hearing the news of Yangzhou being attacked – of course, even if she did not hear the news of Yangzhou being attacked, With so many confidantes around him, he probably wouldn’t want to come to such a place, not to mention that this girl was with him all the way. She didn’t think anyone in this brothel was more charming than her.

“Bah, bah, what are you thinking about?” The woman in yellow stomped her feet angrily, and continued to look at the gate of the brothel, and finally saw Song Qing coming out.

“How’s it going, is there any news?” The woman in yellow shirt greeted her and asked with concern. Although she didn’t know that Song Qing had deliberately established an intelligence composed of brothels in the Southern Song Dynasty, with her intelligence, she could roughly Guess that he went in to inquire about news. This kind of place is the fastest place for information flow.

Song Qing nodded and explained: “Xia Quan has annexed the red jacket army of Yang You’s lineage, and its power has grown greatly. This morning, it suddenly began to attack Yangzhou.”

“Is there anything wrong in Yangzhou?” The woman in yellow shirt eagerly He asked, suddenly startled, why is he so nervous, Yangzhou has nothing to do with him, is he nervous for him?

Thinking of this, a heart beats wildly a few times.

“Yangzhou is a big city, how could it fall so easily,” Song Qing said with a worried expression, “It’s just that compared to Xia Quan, I’m more worried about Liu Yu’s 30,000 troops in Chuzhou.”

The woman in yellow shirt was puzzled: “Liu Yu can deal with the red jacket army, but you are now the king of Qi who was conferred by the imperial court. Does he dare to openly attack your territory at the risk of the world? Wouldn’t that be a light start to the war? How

could he bear this responsibility?”

“Of course he did not dare to attack Yangzhou openly, but…” Song Qing snorted coldly, “He can help Xia Quan secretly, I got the news that he not only quietly provided Xia Quan with money, grain, soldiers and armor, but also He also had the army stationed near Yangzhou city intentionally or unintentionally, nominally to help Yangzhou, but in fact it hindered Yangzhou’s deployment of troops, and because his army was staring at the side, Yangzhou had not many troops. We have to divide a part to guard against him, which will lead to more pressure against Xia Quan.”

Before recovering Li Kexiu’s territory and power, he got about 38,000 elite soldiers, and then Zhou Zhiruo slowly expanded the number of soldiers. Following Song Qingbing’s policy of not having too many elite soldiers, UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com The number of troops in Yangzhou was maintained at this number, and a large part of them had to be scattered to defend the rest of the prefectures. In Yangzhou, the field troops that Zhou Zhiruo can mobilize now, At most, there are around 20,000 or 30,000 people.

According to the information, Xia Quan had about 40,000 to 50,000 men, and Liu Yu had 30,000. Although they were not necessarily as good as Yangzhou’s elite troops, the numerical advantage was quite obvious.

“But who gave him the guts?” The woman in yellow shirt was extremely puzzled. “Even if Liu Yu helped Xiaquan conquer Yangzhou, what good would it be for him? Will he face the censure of the court and the revenge of the Golden Snake Camp?”

“Of course it’s ours. It is Master Jia who is a state affairs officer of the Pingzhang army.” Song Qing was puzzled before, how could a city like Jia think about relying on a few women to tie him down?

Now that I think about it, it’s just his way of numbing himself, and the main event is still on the Yangzhou side.

In this way, you can naturally lead yourself here, and naturally have no time to take care of Wudang’s affairs.
