Chapter 339 Don’t let me down
Chapter 339 Don’t let me down
It's another misty morning.
Yang Xianrong woke up from her sleep and found herself curled up in a man's arms, and she immediately felt relieved.
She adjusted her position, put an arm around the man's neck, and buried her face in his chest again.
After thinking about it, it still seems a bit uncomfortable.
So she gently took the man's hand, let him hug her waist, and then fell asleep contentedly.
However, she soon discovered that the man was awake as well.
The snow-white buttocks were kneaded wantonly by the man, and the pain was mixed with a slightly strange feeling.
She simply didn't want to sleep. She hugged Shao Xun's neck tightly with both hands and sighed with contentment.
It would be nice if this man could be with me every day.
"I'm going to Chen County." Yang Xianrong's voice sounded like a dream.
"I dare not obey your order." Shao Xun was so immersed in the role that he blurted out the answer.
"Minister! Minister! Minister!" Yang Xianrong glared and complained, "How can a minister rub the queen purple?"
Shao Xun felt the smoothness on his chest, looked down, and suddenly felt a little apologetic.
"My head still hurts a little." Yang Xianrong continued to complain.
Shao Xun rubbed it gently and sighed secretly. Yang Xianrong's head was hurt by hitting the wooden board on the headboard of the bed.
But he really couldn't help it, because last night Yang Xianrong was wearing the queen's gorgeous attire for the court meeting, and she deliberately put on a dignified and inviolable look, as if she was angry that he hadn't come to see her for so long, and her words were cold.
How could Shao Xun, who was full of rebelliousness, resist this? He was directly emptied by the queen.
"Is it...is there a medicine..." Shao Xun suddenly remembered something and felt something was wrong, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he stammered.
Yang Xianrong bit him hard and sneered, "Are you scared now? There is such medicine, but it can only be boiled and taken after the belly is obvious. In the past, there were always people in the palace who used this medicine to harm others. Do you think I can boil it and take it?"
Shao Xun smiled awkwardly, hugged Yang Xianrong tightly, and said, "Why is it so?"
"You still have some conscience." Yang Xianrong put her pretty face against his chest and said, "Don't let me down, really. You saved me, made me feel at ease, and made me happy. Really don't let me down. Otherwise I will go crazy, and after that, I don't know what I will do."
Shao Xun was secretly shocked when he heard this.
It turns out that Yangyang’s “mental illness” was not cured, it was just suppressed.
I'm afraid the female patient and the psychologist will be entangled until the end of time.
"Now you have a large army and a high position, and you have many wild women around you, so you ignore me every day and I don't see you all year round." Yang Xianrong said angrily: "When you were a general in the palace, you even cheated me of money."
"Queen, please don't slander me." Shao Xun said somewhat awkwardly, "At that time, I fought bravely for the Queen."
"I should have kicked you to death that time." Yang Xianrong said.
"Which time?"
"After you captured Sima Yi, you fell at my feet." Yang Xianrong said proudly.
Shao Xun also laughed and said, "The queen back then was much more pleasing to the eye than she is now."
Yang Xianrong was stunned.
Shao Xun touched her face and said, "At that time, the queen's face turned pale and her lips trembled. Later, she forced herself to calm down and even asked for a reward for me."
Yang Xianrong looked a little dazed. After reminiscing for a long time, her whole body softened and she hugged Shao Xun even tighter.
Shao Xun bent down and kissed her.
Neither of them spoke, quietly enjoying the rare warmth.
"Take me to Chenjun." Yang Xianrong whispered in Shao Xun's neck: "I won't fight with your women, just take me away."
"No." Shao Xun refused with difficulty.
Yang Xianrong was so angry that she turned around and ignored him.
Shao Xun stood up silently, put on his clothes, and went out. The guards and palace people outside Guangcheng Palace were like blind people, ignoring him.
When Yang Xianrong heard the footsteps leaving, she gradually tightened her hands around the mattress.
After a long time, footsteps were heard again.
Shao Xun came in with a food box and said, "I made you some glutinous rice porridge."
Yang Xianrong suddenly sat up and burst into laughter.
Shao Xun also smiled, walked over, picked up Yang Xianrong, and helped her put clothes on.
"Do you think it's troublesome to provoke me?" Yang Xianrong asked.
"Since ancient times, how many people have been so lucky as to be favored by the Queen?" Shao Xun said, "My life is worth it."
"You're lucky to be able to talk." Yang Xianrong chuckled, feeling much better.
After the two of them finished their breakfast together, palace maids came in to clean up.
Shao Xun held Yang Xianrong's hand and walked on the mountain path. "What happened between you and Princess Xiangcheng?" Yang Xianrong asked, stepping carefully on the icy mountain path.
"Nothing." Shao Xun said.
"She has been hanging around Guangchengtang recently, and I can't chase her away." Yang Xianrong said, "You better be alright."
"You scolded me too many times today." Shao Xun said helplessly.
"Isn't Wang Dun coming to Jingzhou?" Yang Xianrong said as a matter of course: "If you get involved with his wife, he will definitely fight you to the death. Perhaps, he has already fought to the death now."
Shao Xun was speechless.
God have mercy on him, he and Sima Xiuwei are really innocent, why does no one believe it?
As for Wang Dun coming to Jingzhou, it has been a rumor in the capital in recent days.
After Liu Tao, the governor of Yangzhou, died, Sima Rui recommended Wang Dun as the governor of Yangzhou.
This was Wang Dun's second time as governor of Yangzhou.
The last time, because of Qian Kui's rebellion, he fled to Jianye and became Sima Rui's military advisor.
After Liu Tao's death, perhaps because of Wang Dao's relationship, Sima Rui finally decided to recommend Wang Dun as the governor of Yangzhou, and soon appointed him as the commander-in-chief of all military expeditions.
In other words, Wang Dun is now the number one general of Sima Rui's military and political group.
General Wang is now focusing on two places, one is Zhou Fu in Shouchun, and the second is a new one.
The refugees from Bashu who were stranded in Xiangzhou were often bullied by the residents. Some of them rebelled and followed Li Xiang from Shu as their leader.
Nanping prefect Ying Zhan and Liling magistrate Du Tao jointly defeated them.
Jingzhou Governor Wang Cheng sent Chengdu Internal History Wang Ji to lead troops to pursue Li Xiang. Li Xiang surrendered, but Wang Cheng pretended to accept. After accepting the surrender, he killed Li Xiang, gave his wife away as a reward, and drowned all of his followers, more than 8,000 refugees from Bashu, into the river.
The refugees from Bashu who did not participate in the rebellion were greatly shocked, and they began to rebel one after another.
At this time, Feng Su, a military officer in Xiangzhou, had a feud with Ru Ban from Shu, so he slandered Ru Ban to the governor Xun Tiao, saying that all the people in Shu were going to rebel and it would be better to kill them all. Xun Tiao followed his advice.
Just like that, because of the anthropomorphic manipulation of the two chief officials of Jingxiang, Wang Cheng and Xun Tiao, things got out of control all of a sudden. Forty to fifty thousand refugees from Bashu rebelled at once, and elected Du Tao, a native of Liling and Shu County, as their leader. Tao proclaimed himself the governor of Liang and Yi provinces, and the governor of Xiangzhou.
Against this backdrop, there were rumors that the imperial court wanted Wang Dun to lead his troops westward to help quell the rebellion in Jing and Xiang.
Of course, Shao Xun knew that Wang Dun would not come for a while, because Zhou Fu would most likely send troops north, and the Yangzhou army could not move lightly.
"Wang Dun will not come." Shao Xun said, "He will not move until the matter of Zhou Zuxuan is resolved."
"It's best not to resort to violence in the matter of Zhou Zuxuan." Yang Xianrong sighed and said, "The world only has so much vitality, so use as little as possible."
"If everyone in the world had the insight of Changqiu, it wouldn't have come to this." Shao Xun said with a smile.
"Are you going to Nanyang again this year?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
Shao Xun felt helpless.
The rebellion in Jingzhou had not yet been quelled, and Xiangzhou was in turmoil again. In Shouchun, the situation of Zhou Fu was still unclear.
If the Huns move south again, it will be disastrous.
Now he only hoped that Gou Xi could hold Cao Qi back and prevent that guy from messing up Xuzhou, Yanzhou and even the eastern part of Yuzhou.
This shabby house of the Jin Dynasty is really leaky everywhere.
"Not for now." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "I also need to keep an eye on Zhou Zuxuan. If he sends 30,000 troops north, he will inevitably enter Yuzhou, so we have to be on guard. Nanyang has been entrusted to Yang Dan. I hope he can defeat Wang Ru. Alternatively, Wang Cheng and Shan Jian can recapture Xiangyang. I have no objection."
Wang Cheng occupied Xiangyang, and with Wang Yan there, it was highly likely that he was not an enemy.
But Wang Ru was a minister of Liu Han, and Xiangyang could not be given to him no matter who he was.
Shao Xun didn't want to be attacked from both sides.
For Henan, which is located in an area surrounded by enemies, the most important task is not fighting but diplomatic united front work.
No matter how weak the enemy is in any strategic direction, it is not a problem to tie down part of your troops. This kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise you will be exhausted to death sooner or later, especially someone like him who comes from a humble background.
There was a stone bench in front, and Shao Xun held Yang Xianrong in his arms and sat on it.
"When are we leaving for Yanzhou?" Yang Xianrong was very pleased with Shao Xun's intimate gesture and asked softly in his arms.
"We will leave in the next two days. The Silver Spear Army is already gathering." Shao Xun said, "But we have to go through Yingchuan and Chenjun first. The nobles need to move around. There is spring plowing in Chenjun, so there are a lot of things to do."
"The next year plan I make at the end of each year is never properly executed because it is always interrupted by various matters."
"Guangchengze is here..."
"I'll help you." Yang Xianrong said, "Just don't let me down."
"No." Shao Xun replied.
He looked at the houses and fields outside the mountain road that were looming in the fog.
I don’t ask for good weather this year, just an ordinary year will be enough. I’ll try to accumulate as much food as possible, and then - fuck it.
