What kind of hot spring relaxes the tendons and activates the muscles, it's all bullshit. After Fu Shen's soaking, not only did his legs not heal, but his waist was about to crumble. Exhausted, he hid far away on the other side of the pool, pointing at the satisfied culprit: "Don't come here. Stay away from me."
Yan Xiaohan said sincerely and innocently, "Can I rub your waist for you? Don't do anything else."
Fu Shen: "No need, get out."
Yan Xiaohan didn't say anything anymore. Fu Shen closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Hearing that he didn't move, he couldn't help but feel a little drum in his heart. He suspected that he was talking too much. So he breathed out silently, intending to coax along the hair.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Yan Xiaohan had "drifted" from the front of him to the side.
Yan Xiaohan: "...How about you close your eyes and sleep for a while?"
Fu Shen: "..."
"It's not good," Fu Shen said helplessly, "I'll keep you out of your boredom? It's better to cook it in one pot and eat it."
Yan Xiaohan silently gave him a pleasing smile.
The water was shimmering and the ripples were sparkling. His brows and eyes were wet with water, and the outline became clearer and clearer. The long black hair floated by his side, and the shoulders, neck and collarbone exposed to the water were dotted with a few erythema hickeys. It was eye-scorchingly moving, and even the green hills and beautiful waters in his eyes were eclipsed, causing Fu Shen to lower his eyes and frown.
He also grew up eating the five grains of the human world, and Yan Xiaohan did not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more than others. How could he grow up like this
Seeing that Fu Shen was closing his eyes like a monk seduced by a monster, his eyes were out of sight and his heart was not disturbed, Yan Xiaohan knew that he had acquiesced, so he smiled and pulled him carefully into his arms: "Jing Yuan ."
Fu Shen snorted.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you," Yan Xiaohan said, "It's so happy, I'm afraid it's just a dream."
It may be because of the pain, but I still feel heart palpitations when I think about it now. Even if I hold the greatest consummation of his life in his arms, he will still recall the feeling of being alone and unable to sleep.
His worries are not unreasonable, and God's will is impermanent. After the recovery of Chang'an, Zhao Xicheng will stay here and wait for the court's order, but the Beiyan Iron Cavalry will continue to move eastward, and separation is almost imminent. Saying goodbye at this time is tantamount to being strict Xiaohan cut out a piece of meat directly from his body.
Fu Shen took his hand out of the water to play with it, and suddenly said, "I don't know how our family is doing now."
"Um?"
"Although this place is good, it's not my hometown," Fu Shen said lazily. "You can put your 'sweetness' aside for a while, and it won't be too late to sigh when the capital is recaptured."
Yan Xiaohan couldn't help but lower his head to his ear, lowered his voice and said, "You mean... after returning to Beijing, we can do this in our pool... um!"
Fu Shen returned his hand and gave him an elbow, with a string of splashes: "Promise."
Yan Xiaohan wrapped him in his arms using both hands and feet. While insulting others, he said with a serious face, "Okay, don't make trouble, just get down to business. When things settle down here, I plan to go to the middle of Shu."
Fu Shen frowned: "Are you going to see the Emperor Taishang?"
"Yeah," Yan Xiaohan said, "After the Beijing Incident, Feilongwei, most of the Imperial Army, and Xiaobanjingying followed the Emperor Taishang to the west. You have seen it. Although I was barely able to speak in the new dynasty, I had a close relationship with Shu Dagen. The deep Jiangnan family is still too shallow in comparison, and there are too few available people, so it is not the way to go on like this."
"So you want to get the old department back from the Emperor Taishang?" Fu Shen asked, "Why did he promise you?"
However, Yan Xiaohan refused to go any further and bought a pass: "Shan Ren has his own plan."
"Okay," Fu Shen knew that he wouldn't mess around and didn't intend to interfere, he just said, "You know what you need. What do you need me to do for you?"
Yan Xiaohan casually said nonsense: "Let me go after I've had enough?"
Fu Shen pressed his head down into the water.
Yan Xiaohan threatened to make up all the debt he owed for a year, but the time was really limited. Fu Shen said something, ceded the land and made indemnities, and made a lot of unreliable promises. Reluctantly coaxed him to first offset the half-year's account, and leave the rest to Houjing.
Two days later, the two went down the mountain and returned to the city. Fu Shen dispatched Yuan Huan, one of the generals of Beiyan, from Ganzhou to stay in Xijing, while Yu Qiaoting continued to lead his army eastward to prepare for the capture of Luoyang. With the Beiyan Army as an example, the Jiedu envoy of Xiangzhou also followed suit and sent his trusted generals to be stationed in Chang'an. Zhao Xicheng originally thought that Chang'an was the new dynasty, but he didn't see it at a glance, and it turned out to be "three families divided into Jin". He was okay with leading troops to fight, but he was not good at these intrigues. Yan Xiaohan was handed over and sent to Beiyan Barracks. Now he finally realized that something was wrong. Purpose.
It's a pity that I didn't even see Yan Xiaohan's face this time. Fu Shen, with a polite face that didn't hide "How old are you", invited him out of the Beiyan Army station as it was.
Not long after, the Jiangnan court issued a decree, ordering Zhao Xicheng to continue to lead the army in the northern expedition, and cooperate with the Beiyan Iron Cavalry to recover Luoyang. Chang'an was temporarily governed by the three parties, but Yan Xiaohan was not mentioned.
In August, Luoyang returned to the sun.
At the end of August, when Yan Xiaohan went to Shu to meet the Emperor Taishang, and the news of the reorganization of the Imperial Army and the old Beijing camp into the Tianfu Army came out, the Jinling court was in an uproar.
Only Emperor Changzhi seemed to have anticipated it long ago, and ordered Yan Xiaohan to be the first envoy of the Tianfu Army, reclassifying the Tianfu Army as a pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and ordered him to go north to join Zhao Xicheng on the spot to recover the capital.
It was only then that the Jiangnan party in the DPRK realized that Yan Xiaohan had offended Tianwei and was expelled from the center. From the very beginning, it was a play that the monarch and his ministers teamed up to show them.
With the obstruction of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the matter of the Northern Expedition was delayed. If Yan Xiaohan had not dealt with Concubine Xue Shu in an almost provocative manner, Xue Sheng, the leader of the four scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, would not have given way to the Northern Expedition in order to kick him away, agreeing that the imperial court would send troops to encircle Chang'an with the Beiyan Iron Cavalry.
They made a mistake. Emperor Changzhi was very talented and ambitious. Although he often had no opinion, he was not without ambition.
When Yan Xiaohan was instructed to form a pro-court army that was independent of the local military governors, he pointed out two paths for Emperor Changzhi. One was in the Ming Dynasty, that is, reorganizing the remnants of the defeated army and recruiting new soldiers, that is, the army that Zhao Xicheng is currently commanding. The Jiangnan Army has uneven personnel, and its combat strength is not high. It is purely a miscellaneous army put together temporarily, but it is enough to use it as a facade. The other is in the dark, and it is also the most important mission for him to leave Jinling.
All the elites of the Beiya Imperial Army and the Jingying were all accompanied by the Yuantai Emperor on the west hunting trip. The Imperial Army is Yan Xiaohan's cronies, and Jingying is the royal family's cronies. The Tianfu Army formed by these two groups is the true closeness of the Changzhi Emperor and the future Xin Dynasty.
When Xue Sheng thought he was eating sand on the front line, Yan Xiaohan had already reorganized the Tianfu Army in the middle of Shu; when Xue Shangshu finally realized that he had been placed by Yan Xiaohan again, Yan Xiaohan had completed the reorganization of the Tianfu Army. Xiaohan has already brought this group of elites to the battlefield to join the Beiyan Iron Cavalry who had just conquered Luoyang.
At this point, the Jiangnan gentry have completely fallen into the disadvantage, and it is imperative to recover the Central Plains and unify the north and the south. Even if they start to pull the Changzhi Emperor down from the throne, they will not be able to stop the local army that has sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, let alone stop it. The iron hoofs of the Northern Yan Army and the Tianfu Army brazenly went north.
At the end of the year, good news came from all over the country. All the south of the lower reaches of the Yellow River were recovered. The Northern Yan Tieqi and Tianfu Army joined the Qingling, Luzhou and other five places, and they approached Yuanzhou, the important town where the main force of the Tarzhe and Zhe tribes were located. At the end of the new year, the Jiangnan court sent a large amount of food, grass and armament, generously gifting the Tianfu Army, and a secret letter from the Holy Master Yubi to the Marquis of Jingning.
When Fu Shen returned to camp in the evening, the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to snow. His hands were numb from the cold, and he opened the tent door, but there was a mellow warm fragrance blowing towards his face. At this moment, the lights in the coach's tent, which should have been dark and empty, were bright, and the "dove" who had occupied the magpie's nest was leaning on the bedside to read the military newspaper.
With such a person, the humble tent seems to have become a fairy palace.
The dry and cold hands were drawn into the warm palms. Fu Shen bent over and deliberately used his cold cheeks to stick a sticker on his side face: "Why are you running here again?"
Yan Xiaohan said boldly, "It's almost New Year's Eve, how could you be left alone in the empty room? I'll warm the bed for Lord Hou."
Fu Shen shook his head and smiled, with a face full of helpless connivance, "I can't do anything about you", he grabbed his chin and kissed him.
It's funny, the Tianfu Army, from the head coach to the ordinary soldiers, seems to have made up his mind to hug the thigh of the Beiyan Iron Cavalry. Since the meeting in Luoyang, the Tianfu Army has become the small tail of the Beiyan Army. On the one hand, the two coaches have a close relationship. On the other hand, because most of the Tianfu Army are from Gyeonggi, they have a natural affinity for the Beiyan Army.
Besides, Yan Xiaohan is still inexperienced in leading troops, so he often needs Fu Shen to watch over him, so when no one is paying attention, Yan Xiaohan comes to the Beiyan army camp to find Fu Shen almost every night." Teaching". Fu Shen had instructed his personal soldiers not to stop him long ago. Over time, everyone became accustomed to this. Even Yu Qiaoting greeted Yan Xiaohan from Fu Shen's tent in the morning with a normal expression and told him to "eat before leaving."
"What are you looking at?" With his help, Fu Shen took off his armor, put on light home clothes, washed his hands in the copper basin filled with hot water, and while drying, he listened to Yan Xiaohan say, "The imperial court is here. According to the news, the Zhe people and the Bohai Kingdom sent envoys to Jinling to negotiate peace."
Fu Shen sat by the bed, opened the iron buckles on his boots one by one, and said, "I guess so, what did they say?"
"With the Yellow River as the boundary, the south will be returned to the imperial court, and the north will be ruled by the three tribes. The north and the south will not invade each other, and trade routes will be opened. Jiangnan will give tens of thousands of dollars to the Ta, Zhe, and Bohai tribes every year," Yan Xiaohan said. With a light smile, "Their emperor still wants to swoop with the emperor as brothers."
Fu Shen soaked his feet in the hot water and sneered lazily, "Hey, what a big breath, all the troops are coming down to the city, do you think these people are all here to go to the market?"
Yan Xiaohan said: "The emperor will not be shaken for the time being, but there are many people in the court who advocate peace. Especially the Jiangnan faction, they don't want to use the power of the south to support the north. I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise about this."
"Let them quarrel," Fu Shen sneered, "It's really strange, whether or not to make peace, the people north of the Yellow River say no, and the soldiers on the front line say no, but these adults who are firmly in the rear, up and down Sending out half of the Central Plains at the touch of your lips - that's not the way of daydreaming."
