In the first year of Qianfeng (666 AD), the fifth day of the ninth lunar month in autumn, at 3 o'clock in the morning.

War reports came from Liaodong, and the Tang Dynasty's expeditionary army achieved a major victory. Yingzhou Governor Gao Kan and Right Jinwu General Pang Tongshan defeated the Goguryeo soldiers on the east bank of the Daliao River. They beheaded more than 8,000 levels, captured more than 20,000 people, and continued to advance eastward.

The boy from Moli Zhiquan led his guards to join Pang Tongshan. Li Zhi issued an edict, which was named the special admiral, the second rank of Wensan official. He was granted the title of Liaodong Grand Governor, the Pyongyang Road Plenary Envoy, and the title of Duke of Xuantu County. He ordered Qi Heli to control the general manager of all the roads and continue to advance eastward.

When Wu Kang received this news, he was so happy that he smiled at the sky. This was a victory. The two armies successfully met, the military operations went smoothly, and the war could continue. The court sent another government order, mobilizing soldiers from all over the country, and the generals of the sixteen guards, all returned to Beijing to standby.

The counties on Hebei Road, north of the Yellow River, are suspended from the transportation of autumn grain in Beijing. The imperial edict ordered all states across the country to suspend the transportation of autumn grain, and all war-prepared medicinal materials will be given priority to transport the eastern capital. The huge war machine is operating in an orderly manner, and the troops are no longer out of reach when they are at the city of Pyongyang.

The central government of the court knows that the civil strife in Goguryeo and the incest of the boys in the spring are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss the opportunity, it will definitely be difficult to ascend to the sky. All the civil and military officials in the court were united unprecedentedly for a while, and their strength was all in one place. Some even suggested that Sikong Li Ji came out of the mountain and presided over the overall situation in Liaodong.

Wu Kang was rather tragic, and no one dared to recommend him, including Jingzong. Li Zhi was shameless. He ignored his brother's health and ordered him to go to work as usual. He wore armor and all Tang swords every day, and stood on duty at the inner palace. He really wanted to recommend himself, Nai Weng was also a general, and he also wanted to go to Liaodong.

On September 25, the bad news came from the sky, which caught him off guard. The founding Duke of Guangping County, Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, and Liu Xiangdao died at home. Looking at his life, he was ordinary and legendary, and his career was smooth.

In his early years, he joined the official position and inherited the title of Leping County Man and was promoted to the Minister of the Huangmen. He was promoted to the title of Marquis of Yangcheng County and was promoted to the Minister of Justice. In the third year of Longshuo, he was appointed as the Prime Minister. He was involved in Shangguan Yi and was dismissed from his right prime minister and was transferred to the Sili Taichang Bo. He organized the feudal affairs and the court approved it and was promoted to the title of Duke of Guangping County.

During the banquet, Wu Kang was invited to a banquet and gave a warning to save his life. Chu and Wei should not eat together. Later, the prophecy came true. Wu Kang took poison to avoid disaster, and Xiangdao resigned. Li Zhi approved his resignation and was appointed as the Grand Duke of Jin Zi Guanglu, a third-rank literary official, and retired to live his life.

But God was not good, and died without illness at the age of 71. Li Zhi burst into tears and posthumously awarded the title of governor of Youzhou, and was given the posthumous title of Xuan. His legitimate son Liu Qixian is now appointed as the Censor of the Censor and inherited the title of Liu Xiangdao. At the same time, he was passed down the order, and officials above the fifth rank went to the Liu family to cry.

Wu Kang was in it, and because of that reminder, he was also very grateful to Xiangdao. So he found Wang Bo, paid for a sacrifice article, and went to Liu's house to mourn. Wang Bo's bastard actually asked for thirty steaks, twice as expensive as before, claiming that he only had the old money.

I couldn't help but sneer at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. This boy was inflated. I bullied me, and I was a sucker, and I was waiting to wear my shoes. In fact, it was not his fault. The inflation was so loud that the rice rose by more than a hundred people. Merchants refused to recognize the new money, Qianfeng Quanbao depreciated, and Kaiyuan Tongbao soared.

At the funeral of Liu Xiangdao, Wu Kang was full of love and Lang Lang recited the tribute text. It was indeed extraordinary, which aggravated the sad atmosphere, and Qi Xian cried even harder. It was even more powerful to get Wang Bo's tribute text, and Mr. Liu Xiangdao's life would be worthwhile.

While eating big pot of vegetables, Liu's troops approached and lowered their voices and sent a message: The husband told Mr. Chu that he would buy low and sell high, causing the price of grain to soar. The Duke made great money in the country and made the people more difficult, which was not the work of loyal ministers.

I sneered again, and I’m not a loyal minister, my father is in a state of demise, and you are still concerned about state affairs, so what’s the point of saying you? Thinking for half a minute, letting the department reply: You tell him like this, without my hoarding, the price of grain will rise even higher.

When the clan left, Xu Jingzong came over and spit out a big news: Mr. Liu Xiangdao is also a member of the grain storage, with an investment of more than 3,000 yuan. Liu Qixian is a man who is upright and upright in his behavior and is deeply favored by the saints. Don’t mind the change, he is this person, so I will tell you something.

After listening to the story of Emperor Jingzong, Wu Kang secretly praised him, saying that he was a stupid man. Before he was promoted to Beijing, he was appointed as Sima, Jinzhou, and was selfless. Once, Li Zhi was hunting and mentioned that Jinzhou had excellent specialty products. Some people flattered him and said that Qi Xian was now Sima, so he asked him to hunt and promote.

Li Zhi immediately scolded, "Do you think that Sima Qixian of Jinzhou is the one who catches the eagle and harrier?" If I pass the order, he will not offer the eagle and harrier, and will offer ten memorials. If I do not give in, he will come to the capital and kneel outside the palace to die for advice."

I feel very glad, but fortunately Xiangdao participated in the action of poaching the villain. Otherwise, this silly man would have submitted a memorial to impeachment, and the consequences would be unimaginable. With Li Jiu's virtue, it is very likely that he would be bad. If you issue an order, pay it over and pay it for the capital.

After the funeral, I began to live like a year. In addition to working normally, I kept paying close attention to Liaodong. Zhao Sheng reported several times that the 6,000 Zhejiang soldiers in Wuzhou were already impatient. I asked every few days, when would the Governor Wu come and when would he head to Liaodong?

Wu Kang was also very anxious. Mei Niang's pillow seemed to have lost its effect. Li Zhi's bastard always avoids the important things and never asks for a challenge. When his wife was asked, he used nonsense to make excuses: Mei Niang should not be impatient. I know what I know. When everything is ready, he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

September was twelfth lunar month, and the first day of the 18th lunar month, and finally there was good news at the Hanyuan Palace dynasty meeting. Li Zhi made a heavy blow and decided to exert his strength to defeat Liaodong in one fell swoop. He fulfilled Emperor Taizong's last wish before his death, proving that he was better than his father.

Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Li Jie, Duke of Sikong, was the chief marching officer of Liaodong Road, and also served as the ambassador of Liaodong. Li Jie, 71 years old, was a real talent in the Tang Dynasty, and went on a war again in the stable. This shows how much importance the court attached to the Liaodong battle.

Xu Jun's nephew, Si Lie Shao Chang Bo Hao Chujun, was the deputy of Li Jie. General of the Right Jinwu Tongshan, General of the Right Guard Qi Heli, and was the deputy general of Liaodong Road. General of the Right Wugu Gu Qingyun, general of the Yalu Road marching chief; Zhaowenguan is waiting to entertain Guo and Feng, and general of the Jili Road marching chief.

General Liu Renyuan of Zuo Fengchen, Bi Liedao's general marching commander; general Jin Huiwen of Silla, general marching commander of Haigu Road; general Dou Yiji of Zuo Xiaowei, general marching commander of the rear army; general Xue Rengui of the left military, general marching commander of the Liaodong Road.

The general of the Left Rong Guard, the General of the Left Fengchen, and the General of the Left Yulin; the prince You Chongye led the Duke of Chu of the Shangzhu Kingdom, the champion general Wu Kang, and the general of the Pyongyang Road marching. The General of the Left Jinwu Zhao Daoxing and the General of the Right Jinwu King Quan Shancai were his deputy.

He commanded 6,000 Zhejiang soldiers, 24 Zhechong Prefecture, and a total of 30,000 guards, and set off to Liaodong on the day. All the marching commanders and grain transporters from the sea and land were controlled by Li Ji. All the land taxes of various prefectures in Hebei were transported to Liaodong for supplying the army to the east.

After the order was issued, the war report was entered, and various rituals were carried out in an orderly manner. While Wu Kang was excited, he was also in great enthusiasm to arrange the war. Because the war was serious, he had to do his best and could not leave a way out.

The three hundred Wuying personal guards and the three hundred Wuying personal guards all went on a war with the army. If everything goes well this thousand-mile expedition, at least one year will be available to you. Go to the palace to pay homage to the queen, and your wife and daughter will entrust her to take care of my family when I am away.

Mei Niang nodded and agreed, and sighed at the same time, and issued an ultimatum: Every time Kang Lang goes on an expedition, my worries are no less than Cui Xiaoqing. This eastern expedition to Liao is your last march in this life. Feel it well, there will be no chance in the future.

This is very unlucky. I cursed me to death on the battlefield, which sounds scary. I understand what she meant, and after the triumphant success, I ended my military career. Stay in the capital obediently, be a security captain, guard the palace, and protect my sister's safety.

Wu Kang also wants this. He is 32 years old this year and is eager to live a peaceful life. He has been in the military for seven years, and he has countless corpses and blood. He doesn’t want to add any more scars on his broad chest. For the rest of his life, be a good husband, be a good father, and stay at home to enjoy his happiness.

Before going to war, Xiaoqing forced herself to smile, which was a virtue, which meant she had already gotten used to it. She also had two daughters, and she was sobbing with her face, and was depressed all day long. Narcissus and Asuka were pretty good, but her emotions were not fluctuating.

Especially Asuka, she was a little excited. The warlike Japanese woman looked heartless. In the backyard study room, a family of six gathered, and her two daughters played chess. They were very good at it, and under the influence of Mei Niang, they also loved chess.

In this way, it is actually very good to exclude the pain of separation and relieve physical and mental pressure. Suddenly, Qian Shun knocked on the door, his face full of anxiety, and he reported with a wry smile: "Zhao Sheng's love wife is making trouble outside the gate."

The atmosphere was strange in an instant, and my daughter stopped playing chess, and her eyes gathered. Qian Shun's scalp was numb, and she smiled and cried less than crying: "Xicheng Xinping Inn, we brothers often go there to drink. The shopkeeper's lady was hooked by Zhao Sheng and seemed to have fallen asleep..."

Cough interrupted him, Xiaoqing's face was as deep as water, and she winked the daffodil. The two concubines understood and asked softly, "Let's go out to play, it's not suitable for children to talk about. Erya got up well, nodded with gossip on her face, and asked Qian Shun excitedly: "Uncle Shunzi, tell me quickly, is it that Uncle Zhao who has abandoned it all the time?"

That's the case, Qian Shun dared not say it, and it was embarrassing to lower his head. Xiaoqing coughed again, and his face looked very ugly. Nao Nao pouted and looked up at his father. Wu Kang raised his head directly, saying that he could not help, so don't be so gossipy. Nao Nao stamped his feet in anger, secretly scolded his father for being timid, and pulled Erya away.

There were only three people left in the study, Xiaoqing was sitting in the main seat and sneered. She looked at her husband, staring at Qian Shun with a sarcastic look, and said sarcastically: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. What kind of generals are there, what kind of soldiers are there. Shunzi will tell you, what level is it? Is your belly big?"

Wu Kang was crying for injustice in his heart. Where did this start? What does that kid's crime have to do with me? Princess Xincheng passed away and Erya is so old. Don't turn over old accounts. Feeling strange eyes, her scalp numb, and she lowered her head awkwardly. She refuted her wife in her heart, "I have never abandoned it all, and I have never been confused."

Qian Shun gritted his teeth and poked Zhao Sheng's backbone, telling his embarrassing story. The shopkeeper of Xinping Inn is an honest man with only one girl under his knees. He is fifteen years old this year, and he looks very smart and has a lively personality. He often visits him, but once the gangster makes trouble, disturbing everyone's happiness.

The result was self-evident. They taught a lesson and even claimed the title of Wukang. The gangster dared not come again. The shopkeeper was very happy and gradually became familiar with the leaders of the Wuying. And that little lady liked them to talk about military life on the battlefield.

Zhao Sheng added fire to the fire and told him about his heroic posture on the battlefield, seven in and seven out. The beauty loves heroes, the little lady is attracted, and then seduced again, and the story goes to the bed. Wu Kang rolls his eyes secretly, "Baby is doing evil, a fifteen-year-old girl, can you also talk?"

The little lady is pregnant and dare not hide it from her parents. She is an old trick. Lao Wang found Zhao Sheng and asked him to take responsibility and marry the little lady through the family. But Zhao Sheng's bastard is a weirdo who adheres to celibacy. A thirty-year-old man who lives or dies, no one can say that he is useless.

The place where I was nostalgic for love is a regular visitor in Pingkangfang, and I hooked up with all kinds of women. So Mrs. Wang was very unhappy to marry him. Lao Wang was even more unhappy, but unfortunately he had no choice but to do anything. The other party was too big. It was not a solution to drag it like this every day, and his daughter was already showing her conceit.

When he was in a state of great trouble, he heard that Zhao Sheng was the Wuying Guard and would also go to Liaodong. Lao Wang could not sit still. If he returned from the expedition, his grandson would probably call him a father. So he gritted his teeth and brought his wife and daughter to the Xiuzhenfang Wu Mansion, vowing to seek justice.

Qian Shun finished speaking, seeing the boss silent, seeing the wife sneer, he quickly flattered: "They must have inquired and knew that the wife was very kind and treated people fairly. Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to come to the Martial Palace if they borrowed their two courages."

The flattery was very smooth, Xiaoqing's face improved, and she directly ordered Qian Shun: "Please ask the Wang family to come to the mansion and take it to the living room to wait, don't lose your etiquette. Then go to Zhao Sheng's house, explain the truth, and ask his parents to discuss it. I'm in charge of this matter, and I'm still making a fuss, so go quickly."

Qian Shun looked at the boss with a slight look, suddenly heard the sound of slapping the table, and turned around and left in a fright. Xiaoqing left the desk, still sarcastic: "Zhao Sheng has been following you for fifteen years, right? I haven't learned the advantages, I have all the bad habits, and I am very worried about your education level."

Wu Kang expressed helplessness and nodded and echoed: "That little bastard has been following me at the age of fifteen. Mei Niang pointed out that he had a marriage, and the conditions were quite good. The daughter of the county magistrate's family. But he just didn't want to go to our house to cry, and I had no choice. Brothers have been so many years, can't force me, right?"

The words were interrupted, and Xiaoqing said lightly: "I am the master of this matter. The little lady of the Wang family is pregnant with his flesh and blood. If this matter is a big deal, it will affect the reputation of the Wu family, and it will also affect the queen. Don't talk later. I want to see Zhao Sheng and whether to disobey me."

Wu Kang spread his hands and learned to be mute. You can just make the decision. Soon he came to the front yard and heard the crying from afar. He was very sad. Pinglang and other guards lined up in the yard, all of them were as tall as slack, with their heads facing the door, as if they were counting.

You bastards, don't bother to watch the fun, and they all need to clean up. They covered their mouths and coughed in a deep voice. When they saw their heads smearing, they stared at the bull's eyes and said, "It's so hard to do it here, I'll go out to battle soon. Have you packed your bags? Let's go back to me... Let's stand here, without my orders, no one is allowed to move."

After scolding him, he left, blocked his wife's side, and walked slowly towards the living room. As soon as the couple entered the door, the guards lined up north, and Nao Nao covered her mouth and gasped. Erya looked innocent, turned her head to look at her sister, and pouted with grievance. Why did she pull me up? If my mother knew about it, she would still scold you.

In the spacious living room, Lao Wang was timid and had a very simple face. His wife beside him hugged their daughter and shed tears. The poor little lady had her lower abdomen, and she was lying in her mother's arms, sobbing constantly.

Zhao Sheng lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the boss. His calves were trembling. When the Wu couple greeted him, the Wang couple responded, as if they were terrified. Xiaoqing looked kind and greeted them to sit down and ordered them to prepare tea.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Sheng's parents came and greeted the host family first. The old couple was very excited, so Zhao's mother went directly to comfort the Wang family's wife. Because of their son's marriage, they were worried. Now that they have a daughter-in-law and grandson are on the road, they are naturally extremely excited.

Wu Kang can be sure that if the occasion is not right, the two elders laughed out loud. Zhao's father immediately said, "I can't control this child, please don't bother Mr. Chu to teach me a lesson." Xiao Qing took the lead and came to Zhao Sheng and said in a big way: "Children, Uncle Zhao, please give me a reply, will I speak so well?"

He went straight to the point, Zhao Sheng did not dare to act rashly, and he nodded with difficulty. Xiaoqing was very satisfied and faced Wang again, saying with a firm word: "Zhao Sheng has been with his husband for fifteen years. He is not only a personal guard, but also a robber of the Wu family, his husband's brother, and the noisy uncle Zhao."

The identity has been raised, and Xiaoqing continues to arrange: "My husband once said that a man must be a real man, if he dares to do it, he must be a good man. When a young lady is pregnant, she must marry the Zhao family, and she must marry the official matchmaker. Three books and six rituals must be left behind, and eight large sedan chairs must be held."

After taking the pill of calm, Lao Wang breathed a long breath, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and kept bowing. Zhao's father agreed, and Zhao's mother agreed, and Madam Wang stopped crying and hid in her mother's arms.

Xiaoqing was very satisfied and comforted the little lady: "Your sister-in-law, you have accepted your sister-in-law, so don't worry. Don't cry anymore. When you get married, sister-in-law will give you a gift. Uncle Zhao, uncle Zhao, uncle Zhao, sister-in-law live in my house first, you are ready to marry. Your husband will not let Zhao Sheng follow you this time. Lifelong affairs are important."

Zhao Sheng suddenly looked up, waved his hand violently, and refused to be impatient: "Madam, this is not possible. I am the captain of the personal guard and must be guarded by the army. The wine lady lives in my house first, and it is not too late to get married after the triumphant battle of the army. I promised my wife that the Liaodong battle will be over, and I will marry the wine lady."

Xiaoqing pinched her waist and stared at her, and Zhao's father hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, don't be angry. This child is right. Protecting Duke Chu is important. He is the captain of the guard. If he forcefully stays, he can get sick. Don't worry about the in-laws. The wife has already spoken and this matter has been done."

The Wang couple looked at each other and quickly confirmed their eyes. Old Wang said sincerely: "Chu is fair and approachable, and the wife is fair and just, so the old man dares to come. We must be relieved. Shenglang is the chief guard of the guard and should go to Liaodong together. The old man has no objection."

Wu Kang returned the gift and obtained the consent of his wife, and he was kind and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, he is my brother, I know him very well. He doesn't care about the rules, but he keeps his word, and he will marry him. After the Liaodong Battle, I will arrange their marriage in person."

The show was very effective, both families were happy and felt very proud. This was Duke of Chu, the general of the Nanya, and the queen's brother. The matter came to an end, the atmosphere began to be harmonious, and the young lady felt at ease. She covered her lower abdomen gently, her expression was a little disgusting, and she secretly looked at her future husband.

Xiaoqing ordered a banquet and toast frequently. Wang was so excited that he couldn't hold the chopsticks. Xiaoqing looked at Zhao Sheng and his tone was much more relaxed: "You have rejected the marriage mentioned before. Are you waiting for the wine mother? This is fate, is your husband right?"

Wu Kang smiled and nodded, Zhao Sheng put down his wine glass, shook his head and replied, "The generals are taking care of the brothers who died in battle, so they don't have to worry about food or clothing. But their wives are still not doing well, and there are few smiles on their faces. I am afraid that after I die in battle, my wife and children will be lonely and helpless, so I dare not get married."

After saying that, he scolded him, his parents and Xiaoqing scolded him for talking nonsense. Wu Kang did not speak, stared at the wine glass, with a strong helplessness...
Chapter completed!
