"Mr. Zhang, don't mind. This Yang Hanlin probably didn't mean to show off his face. As far as our family knows, he still attaches great importance to filial piety."
When he came out to the carriage, Xiao Jing discovered The Yang brothers had already entered the courtyard and could not help but speak to Zhang Zhou in a comforting tone.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "If I had minded, I wouldn't have followed Eunuch Xiao to see him."
It seems a little difficult for Yang Tinghe to express his gratitude, and Zhang Zhou is not ignorant of current affairs.
But he just likes to show off in front of Yang Tinghe.
I just like to see you, Yang Tinghe, being prejudiced against me but unable to do anything to me.
Xiao Jing said, "When he returns to Sichuan and sees his old mother on the sick bed and knows your husband's good intentions, he will be grateful to you."
" "Sigh" Zhang Zhou sighed, "If I can help, I should know what's wrong with his mother. Since I don't know, the most I can do is let him go back and see his mother for the last time."
Xiao Jingyi. With a look of admiration on his face, he said, "You are still magnanimous. You know that he is so ungrateful, but you still remind him. It's a pity that he just obeys fate. At his mother's age, many things are difficult to change."
< p>"Yes."Zhang Zhou nodded.
Even if he knew that Yang Tinghe's mother was about to die, it was very likely that Yang Tinghe's mother would not be there when Yang Tinghe arrived home, and it was uncertain whether he could see her one last time.
He came to Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't save everyone. Zhang Zhou was also thinking that this should be regarded as a kind act
Liaodong, Ningyuan, March 27th.
Battle reports from all over the surrounding areas flew like snowflakes to the hands of Chief Military Officer Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng had just finished a military meeting, and then a bunch of battle reports came in, which overwhelmed him.
With his ability, he is obviously not suitable for this kind of pre-war preparation and mobilization. Fortunately, Wang Qiong has been helping him take care of it.
"Mr. Wang, you are really the rock in the army." Even Zhang Yong, who had always been too high-minded before, couldn't help but praise Wang Qiong, who was hardworking and uncomplaining.
In the beginning, Zhang Yong looked down on Wang Qiong, a household doctor who had not yet risen.
But when he discovered Wang Qiong's ability, he had to put away his arrogance. Now Zhang Yong could also see that even if Zhu Feng had the emperor and Zhang Zhou behind him to support him, he was still a It is difficult for the second generation ancestor to achieve great things. At critical moments, people like Wang Qiong still need to come out to support the situation.
A group of people went to the top of the city.
It was noon at this time. Zhu Feng took a telescope and looked for a long time, but he didn't see any trouble.
Zhang Yong reminded: "Uncle Anbian, didn't you report? Di Yi is still more than thirty miles away from Guancheng in Ningyuan. If we send troops now, it may be too late. I'm afraid they are thirty miles away." After some looting, he left, and then he was impeached by the censor. If you meet Di Yi and don't go in, I'm afraid it's "
Zhang Yong didn't have the nerve to scare Zhu Feng too much.
Even if the cavalry of the Duoyan Three Guards are not available now,You are close to Ningyuan City, but if you know that Di Yi is there but do not send troops, and then Di Yi robs people and animals, you will be out of luck.
It is useless for you to have the emperor and Zhang Zhou as your backers.
Maybe because you have taken refuge with the emperor and Zhang Zhou, the civil servants will be even more rude to you.
Zhu Feng said, "But Brother Zhang didn't ask me to send troops. He asked me to wait at the top of the city, saying that the opportunity would be presented to me."
"Ah"
Zhang Yong was also shocked.
The only one who can help people to this extent is Zhang Zhou, who has never seen the cruelty of border wars
“We don’t know what to say about Uncle An Bian. You saw the battle at Pianguan, right? It was also prophesied by Mr. Zhang. At that time, how Weining Marquis and the soldiers lured the enemy deep, no matter how unexpected they were, you were also personally involved. This will have to wait until Di Yi comes. Isn’t it a bit?”
Zhang Yong didn’t know how to persuade this “little fool”.
You are really a good baby, you do what Zhang Zhou asked you to do, right?
When there is a relationship problem, it is wrong for you to take the blame. It is us who take the blame together, without him. What happened to Zhou?
At this time, Wang Qiong led Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others to the top of the city.
"Uncle Anbian, the barbarians are here, are we still afraid to move in now? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the responsibility. I just issued a decree this year. If people and animals are plundered in the place, a summary of If you report it to the police and hide more than ten people, you will be dismissed from your post and imprisoned. You don’t know this, so don’t let these people wipe your ass when the time comes.”
Ren Liang is the leader of the three armies guarding Liaodong after all. He was polite to Zhu Feng before.
But now the Duoyan Sanwei people have really come to kill, but Zhu Feng is just guarding the city and doing nothing. This will make the officials and generals of the Liaodong system feel that you are an airborne general. The level of military officers is nothing more than this. Could it be that you are just a coward and we won't be?
Wang Qiong said, "Eunuch Ren, regarding matters before the army, Uncle An Bian's opinion should come first. "
Wang Qiong saw that Ren Liang actually wanted to compete for the command. If he had merit, Ren Liang wanted to take it himself, but if he was at fault, he wanted to pass the responsibility to Zhu Feng.
As a civil servant, Wang Qiong has extraordinary insight. He can see through Ren Liang's little thoughts at a glance, so he reminds him like this.
Ren Liang said impatiently, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you, do you have the final say in matters in the army, or does An Bianbo have the final say? If the three armies guard the city, If you don't come out, you will see the barbarians plundering the surrounding areas of Ningyuan and leaving. The court will hold you accountable, and you and Uncle Anbian will bear the responsibility together."
Here Wang Qiong was frowning and wanted to explain the two things. sentence, but was blocked by Zhu Feng.
"Eunuch Ren." Zhu Feng still said with a childish and nervous expression on his face, "Now that the enemy has not reached the city yet, we are not in a hurry to send troops. Can't we wait until they get closer? "
Qian Ying said in a sarcastic tone from the side, "Uncle An Bian, aren't you just talking and laughing? You are twenty or thirty outside the city."It’s already outside the city, so we haven’t reached the city yet.”
“Wait a little longer”
Zhu Feng is also numb.
I’m thinking in my heart, I don’t have it either. What's the solution? No matter how far the artillery range is, I can't hit it more than twenty miles away. Why don't I wait for Duoyan's three guards to kill two miles away from the city? I'll give it my best shot. If I push the artillery cart out, it's too dangerous. Brother Zhang didn't let me do it, so I continued to wait.
Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others went down to the city with angry expressions.
Even Wang Qiong could feel it. , the soldiers on the city are very hostile to them, and Zhang Yong next to him is too embarrassed to look at those soldiers.
You are sent by the emperor to defend against the barbarians, but you encounter them. The enemy's choice is no different from ours, which is to stay in the city and watch the scene, euphemistically saying "wait a little longer" to wait for your grandma to get out of her way.
If you don't fight, the Hulu will run away. .
"Uncle Anbian need not worry, because we have taken precautions in advance. In the past ten days, we have notified all parts of Ningyuan. There will be no scattered people outside the city gate. Even if the three guards of Duoyan come, they will not be able to plunder them." Take away people and animals. "Wang Qiong comforted.
Zhu Feng looked up into the distance and said with a look of self-blame, "But if the seedlings in the field are destroyed, I am also to blame. ”
“Ouch”
When Zhang Yong heard this, he said, “Okay.”
You, Uncle An Bian, still know how to be compassionate to others. It seems that you are still considerate of the people and have the world at heart. What a capable minister.
Wang Qiong glanced at Zhang Yong and then continued, "Bo Anbian is too worried. Ningyuan is stationed outside Guancheng, and there are not many farms here. many. They all rely on city fortresses. Like Ningyuan City, a solid fortress divided into an inner city and an outer city. With the current strength of Duoyan's three guards, it is still difficult to break in. ”
Ningyuan City is the Ming Dynasty’s fortress outside Shanhaiguan. The main city is divided into two circles, the inner and outer. The inner city has a circumference of five miles and the outer city has a circumference of nine miles. Each has four gates. However, this city But it was destroyed in the earthquake in the second year of Longqing. It was not Guancheng when the Ningyuan victory occurred.
Zhang Yongdao said, "Even if this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't hide in it. Your Majesty asked us to win the war, but he didn’t let us be here to fight."
Wang Qiong also looked at Zhu Feng helplessly.
Even though he was very supportive before Zhu Feng supported him in front of others, but the problem was that he, Wang Qiong, did not think that staying in the city was a good tactic. He ordered everyone around Ningyuan to be withdrawn into the city. If the three guards of Duoyan did not invade Ningyuan, wouldn't they loot the surrounding areas along the way? Fortress?
Zhu Feng asked, “If we do this, will it increase the enemy’s arrogance?”
“Haha. "Zhang Yong said with a smile, "It goes without saying that the Tatars will be almost at the top of the city in less than two days. "
"That's good. "
Zhu Feng replied simply, "Let's wait on the top of the city. If they want to escape, we will send cavalry to chase them. We must clearly detect the enemy's situation and notify them back as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Yong glanced at Wang Qiong and thoughtI think you don’t have any objection after hearing such words
Wang Qiong asked, "But I have never seen Uncle Jianchang and Uncle Jiang. Where are they?"
Zhang Yong was thinking Thinking about it, I really lost my fame in a lifetime. I got it from Zhang Zhou during the partial pass. Today, I will probably fall in Ningyuan. It is true that "Zhang Zhou succeeds and Zhang Zhou loses." He said coldly, "Who knew they were gone?" I guess they are also defending the city at this time."
At this time, Chen Rui and Zhang Yanling were really not defending the city.
In their view, as long as they don’t send troops, it doesn’t matter whoever defends the city. And Chen Rui is currently hosting a banquet in his tent for Zhang Yanling to drink, and his purpose is simple to get Zhang Yanling to lead the troops out of the city with him. Duoyan Sanwei shopping.
"Old man Chen, are you crazy? The man named Zhu hasn't asked us to send troops yet. You just think about sending troops and then tell him to send troops. You are just a bird if you tell me"
Zhang Yanling drank two glasses of wine and was in a good mood. After hearing Chen Rui's words, he suddenly became angry.
How did you, surnamed Chen, know that I am a master who dares to lead troops out of the city to fight with the Tatars?
Besides, aren’t you Chen Liangjiu the most afraid of fighting the Tatars? Are tartars going head-to-head?
Why?
Now that I have changed my gender, I drank hot wine and became bloody. You have to go to hell and go on your own. Why are you looking for me?
< p>Chen Rui sighed, "I have actually understood that Uncle Anbian is not a person who can do great things. On the contrary, Uncle Jianchang, you are brave and resourceful.""Pfft" Zhang Yanling almost put it in his mouth The wine spurted out, "Old man Chen, don't think I can't hear that you are mocking me."
"No, this is the truth. Look at him at such a young age. He has no ability at all. He relies entirely on With the backer behind him, does he look like a commander-in-chief who can lead troops seriously?"
Wait.
Zhang Yanling frowned when he heard this, Chen, are you criticizing Huai?
I don’t have the ability to rely on my backers. Isn’t it just me?
Chen Rui said, "If we Leading the troops out, the three guards of Duoyan are nothing. They must have fled in the face of the wind. Then you and I will gain merit. After you return to the court, you can play with His Majesty and the Queen, and the merit will be there. It will be no problem for you to be promoted to the Marquis of Jianchang. ."
"Oh."
No matter how stupid Zhang Yanling is, he probably understands.
You, Chen Rui, think you should go into the army with me. Apart from the fact that we are both deputy commanders and have to work together, you also thought that I have a sister who is a queen, right?
"Old man Chen, don't you and Zhu Zhijie have a close relationship? Why do I listen? It seems that you want to drag me into committing crimes together." Zhang Yanling put down the wine glass and said with a sneer.
Chen Ruixin said that this was a bad thing, and he could even hear it
Who told that boy Zhu Zhijie to be ignorant
I want to marry him, My daughter married him, but he actually refused my kindness
And this guy hid in the city when he encountered the enemy, and said that Zhang Bingkuan ordered him to do this
Could it be that Zhang Bingkuan gave in? He didn't come to Liaodong to trick him Zhu ZhiInstead, he planned to trick me and the Zhang family relatives together. Otherwise, why would the three of us come out to lead the troops? The combination of the three of us leading the troops is also very strange.
Now it seems that what I thought at first was right. Zhang Bingkuan and Wang Weining were wearing the same pair of trousers, so he didn’t want me to fall into a trap.
So we can’t fall into the trap. We need to get Zhang Yanling together and lead the troops to fight out. Anyway, those are the three Duoyan guards. As long as our army arrives, there is no reason for the three Duoyan guards to fight us. Besides, even if they fight, we won’t see you. It will be a downfall.
I am just afraid of the sieve of fire. Even the little Tatar prince is not afraid of it. I am afraid of the three guards of Duoyan.
"Aren't you a relative? The Queen said a few words to Your Majesty, even if we fail to send troops, At least you are brave."
Chen Rui thought to himself, since you Zhang Yanling has a brain, I won't hide it anymore.
It’s a showdown.
Yes, I just fancy that you have a sister who is a queen. Who do you want to fuck with? Zhu Feng has a backer. Your backer is even bigger. Besides, you and the queen are direct relatives. Something happened. The queen is definitely facing you, and so is your majesty.
Are Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou direct relatives?
"Sorry, as long as this city gate is stable, I will guard it here. I came to Liaodong to get a military position and merit. , let me lead the troops out of the city, no way."
Zhang Yanling is not stupid.
Let me lead the troops with you and go out to realize your dream.
Even if I die in the city, I will never step out of the fortress, even if I am an enemy. If we fight into the city, then I have to use my bodyguards to protect me and break out of the siege. Who told me that someone Zhang’s life is more valuable than yours?
"You"
Chen Rui felt like a Regret.
It doesn’t matter that the commander-in-chief Zhu Feng is unreliable, Zhang Yanling is also so unreliable.
This is really a useless place for a hero.
The news that Duoyan’s three guards committed Ning Yuan’s crime reached the capital in just one day.
Mainly because Liaodong is only about 600 miles away from the capital, the message transmission can be said to be very fast.
Zhang Zhou was still "practicing gymnastics" at home that day.
This is the "wedding night" of Zhang Zhou and Wang Mingshan. Zhang Zhou was admitted to the imperial examination first and then later. When he was in high spirits, there were always discordant voices ringing outside: "Master, there is someone coming from the palace." It’s said that there is military information in Liaodong. You must go out and take a look.”
Han Qing came to inform him personally.
Perhaps even the maid knows that today is Zhang Zhou’s good thing and cannot be disturbed casually.
If the master is angry about this, even if he doesn't punish him directly, he probably won't look bad, so it would be more appropriate to let his second wife do it.
As for Wang Mingshan, who is already the third wife, it seems that she is still the "young lady". In terms of background, Wang Mingshan is taller than Jiang Pingyu, who was born as a first wife, but Wang Mingshan seems to have no airs.
"Wait a little longer"
Zhang Zhou was also annoyed.
Half of a good thing is that you have to be called out to talk about military affairs
Sorry.
In this room, there is a "military emergency", and it is nothing more than murdering parents.
Xiao Jing in the main hall was very anxious.
As Zhang Zhou expected, the three guards of Duoyan attacked Ningyuan, and the attack was fierce. They seemed to want to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Feng did not make any marching movements. This is not a big deal. The key point is that you, Zhu Feng, foolishly reported to the court that you planned to wait for the three guards of Duoyan in Ningyuan City
Are you, Zhu Feng, short-sighted?
Even if you want to do this, There's no need to say that.
I came here to notify Zhang Zhou and ask him to go and inquire about military affairs. As a result, Zhang Zhou was still at home consummating his marriage with Wang Mingshan
Although Xiao Jing didn’t know what Zhang Zhou was doing in the inner courtyard. But asking him to wait outside made him very anxious.
Finally
Zhang Zhou showed up.
Judging from Zhang Zhou’s face, Xiao Jing seemed to have a bad temper, as if his sudden intrusion had ruined Zhang Zhou’s good deeds.
"Eunuch Xiao, was Liaodong defeated?" Zhang Zhou asked in a questioning tone when he came up.
"No, no"
Xiao Jing sighed, "Mr. Zhang, you should have figured it out, right? The barbarians invaded Ningyuan, and Ningyuan's guard general Zhu Feng reported that he was ready to defend the city gate. Yes Are you saying that the Hulu are going to invade the city?"
Zhang Zhou sat down and took a sip of tea, even if it was herbal tea, it didn't matter.
I just felt very anxious.
"How powerful the Duoyan tribe is. It's hard to tell if they dare to attack Liaodong Pass. Maybe they just can't think of it." Zhang Zhou gave an ambiguous answer.
Xiao Jing said, "Then you should follow our family and go into the palace to tell His Majesty."
Zhang Zhou asked, "The news I learned now should be from the day before."
"That's right." Xiao Jing thought for a while.
Although it was delayed for less than a day, it was delayed for more than two hours before it reached Zhang Zhou. It was not yet the decisive moment, and the matter was reported to the emperor first before going to Zhang Zhou. deliver.
Zhang Zhou said, "Then tomorrow morning"
"You still have to go to the court." Xiao Jing said, "But if everything goes well, there will be a war between last night and this morning. , then"
"Oh, it's not that early. If a war breaks out, it will have to be tonight or tomorrow at the earliest." Zhang Zhou said, "I said it before the end of March."
Xiao Jing nodded and said, "That means that after you enter the palace tomorrow morning, you will make it clear to His Majesty."
"Yes." Zhang Zhou stood up and said, "Then I won't send Eunuch Xiao off." Okay, I'm still busy with something here."
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Jing looked concerned.
Zhang Zhou said, "Using the ji for divination, astronomy and fortune-telling."
"I don't dare to disturb Mr. Zhang, please." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing realized that this was not the case.What kind of magic circle are you working on? Let's help Zhu Feng achieve a great victory
Zhang Zhou thought about it for a while.
Am I wrong to say it was Fuqi?
