There are three camps in Jizhou Town.
It was known that Zhang Zhou was arriving. Cui Yuan, the commander-in-chief, took people out of the city to greet him early in the morning. Zhu Feng was in charge of the garrison and other matters. He only came out at noon, only to find Cui Yuan sitting in the reception booth. Have a good chat with a few people.
It seems that Cui Yuan's service in the army suppressed his bold and sociable nature. Now that he went out of the city to meet Zhang Zhou, he had the opportunity to meet local officials and gentry, which in turn inspired his ability to be kind to others. .
After Zhu Feng arrived, everyone stood up to greet him, but Zhu Feng felt that he was out of tune with the current atmosphere.
Because of Zhu Feng's arrival, everyone present felt that he might have some military affairs discussions with Cui Yuan, so they all avoided it.
"It's already past noon and I haven't seen anyone yet." Cui Yuan sighed with emotion.
The north wind is howling, and the hot tea on the table has long been turned into herbal tea.
Zhu Feng said, "It takes at least noon to arrive from Guazi Mountain. Brother Cui, if you come out in such a hurry, are you waiting for Brother Zhang to arrive, or are you waiting for the eldest princess?"
< p>"Yeah"Cui Yuan did not expect Zhu Feng to ask such an embarrassing question.
Fortunately, someone came over to report Zhang Zhou’s progress, so Cui Yuan did not have to answer.
"Is there still four or five miles to go? It's almost there." Cui Yuandao said, "You know the truth, should we go out to welcome you?"
Zhu Feng said, "As a general of the garrison, we should go out of the city to welcome you." You have already done your due diligence. What should you do if you go too far and encounter an enemy attack?”
Cui Yuan smiled and said, “No.”
Everyone knows it won’t happen. , but Zhu Feng is from a family of generals, so he still understands the basic rules.
At this moment, Zhu Daqi, the guard captain next to Zhu Feng, came over and said, "Master Hou, news just came from Beijing, saying that my wife is also on this trip."
"What?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, his expression suddenly became tense.
Zhu Chen came to him without notifying him in advance. Everyone came out to greet Zhang Zhou today, and she was told that her wife would also come. For someone like Zhu Feng, , enough to make him squirm.
After all, Zhu Chen doesn’t have the “super wife treatment” like Ning Tong. In Zhu Feng’s view, Ning Tong is a good sister, while Zhu Chen just married her for a political marriage and has no feelings for him. Basically, he was even sent by the old lady to monitor him.
Cui Yuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing. I know you and your family may not have seen each other for a long time, and it's rare to be reunited. Newlyweds, a farewell is better than a wedding."
"Haha." Zhu Feng smiled bitterly.
His look clearly said, Brother Cui, are you pretending to be confused because you understand, or are you really confused? Don’t you know the situation of each family?
Zhu Daqi is very "considerate" He asked, "Do you want the Marquis to avoid it first?"
Zhu Feng also felt that Zhu Daqi's question was a bit directed at him. He said, "It doesn't matter if you come, you probably want to talk to me about matters involving Uncle Pingjiang's house." , as long as Brother Zhang is here, I will let himBrother Zhang came to help. Anyway, he is also an enthusiastic person. "
Cui Yuan asked, "Is it necessary for you to come and take care of the affairs of Uncle Ping Jiang's family?"
"Alas" Zhu Feng sighed, "There is no way, there is only one person in my wife's house. Brother, they are taking care of each other. If you don’t rely on me, who can you rely on now?”
Cui Yuandeng immediately felt that Zhu Feng was a very responsible man, nodded in approval and said, “I know you value integrity and love.” Righteousness, I should also learn more from you. It's a pity that if something happens in my house, I can't interfere. ”
Zhu Daqi couldn’t help but take a look at Cui Yuan.
You are a prince-in-law, and someone who is connected through nepotism in the eyes of outsiders, why are you pretending to be such a big deal here?
Obviously, in the eyes of people from orthodox wealthy families, especially those in the family, Cui Yuan is not worthy of respect. On the contrary, the middle and lower class military commanders value ability more.
Among the upper class people, Cui Yuan is not worthy of respect. Whether you have ability or not is bullshit. Anyway, princes and nobles do not live by their ability, but by good reincarnation.
In many cases, being incapable is an advantage because it does not pose a threat. /p>
I originally thought that there were only five or six miles left, and Zhang Zhou would arrive soon.
It turned out that more than an hour had passed, and when the sun was already setting, Zhang Zhou left. Appeared in front of the Santun Camp.
This is not the first time Zhang Zhou has arrived, and the grand reception this time is completely inferior to the one arranged by Liu Yu before. That time is the real one. This time, at most, Cui Yuan and Zhu Feng were waiting with a few local officials and a few guards.
"Brother Zhang. ”
Zhu Feng was very happy to see Zhang Zhou. He ran forward from afar and even helped Zhang Zhou rein in his horse.
For outsiders to see, Zhu Feng’s attitude towards Zhang Zhou Zhou Na was extremely flattering. Only a few people knew that Zhu Feng was so enthusiastic about Zhang Zhou. He welcomed Zhang Zhou's arrival from the bottom of his heart.
The main reason was that Zhu Feng was not capable and it was all due to Zhang Zhou. Hold on, this time Zhu Feng achieved a great victory under Zhang Zhou's protection, so he naturally wanted to thank Zhang Zhou.
In other words, when Zhu Feng saw Zhang Zhou coming, he had nothing but friends to show him. He was happy to see him, and felt secure that he had found a supporter, and he expected Zhang Zhou to take him back to the capital.
Zhang Zhou dismounted, met with Cui Yuan, and greeted the local officials at the same time. /p>
If the local officials and gentry respected and relied on Cui Yuan, they were simply unattainable to Zhang Zhou. Faced with Zhang Zhou’s approach, they felt even more flattered, and some of them were even more flattered. Because I didn't hear Zhang Zhou's "no courtesy" voice, I kept kneeling there without getting up, and I didn't even dare to raise my head to look at Zhang Zhou.
"Brother Jingshan, I brought him with you this time. The emperor ordered me to reward the three armies, and at the same time I brought you news. His Majesty intends to promote you to the title of Marquis of Jingshan. It is estimated that he will be able to give you the reward after you return to the capital. "Zhang Zhou finished speaking with a smile and pointed to a group of cars behind him, "The eldest princess is still over there, I just want to say a few words to Zhijie. ”
After hearing this, Cui Yuan, I was quite excited originally.
When he followed Zhang Zhou's fingers and saw the familiar carriage in the distance, he instantly felt tremendous pressure again.
Obviously for a man like him who has just become famous, he still doesn’t want to face his wife. He clearly misses her very much, but when he really wants to meet, he will feel the invisible pressure from the royal family. .
"Zhijie, tell me about this war. Let's go into the city together." Zhang Zhou smiled and said to Zhu Feng.
The implication is that you, Cui Yuan, just care about your own private affairs and don’t care what I think.
Anyway, I tell everyone the same thing, don’t neglect your lovely wife.
On the day of entering the city, there was a welcome banquet in the city. Originally, these were beyond the standards, but now Yongping Mansion has been given to Zhang Zhou by the emperor as a fief, although strictly speaking, Santun Camp It does not belong to Yongping Mansion, or the administration here is detached, but because the properties of the officials and gentry in the city are basically local, they cannot help but please Zhang Zhou.
When the banquet was about to begin, Cui Yuancai arrived late.
But his face was glowing red.
Zhang Zhou also estimated that with Princess Yongkang's strong character, she would definitely give her husband sweet dates to eat first. This would make Cui Yuan very useful and feel the achievements he had made through his own efforts. His wife's respect satisfies part of his vanity.
But based on Zhang Zhou’s understanding of Yongkang, this jujube is only sweet on the surface.
The banquet was hosted by Zhu Feng.
At this time, Zhu Feng showed his strong communication skills. He liked to interact with people from three mountains and five mountains. Zhang Zhou's presence gave him extra courage, making him feel that he could do it without any scruples. , and then thinking that Zhang Zhou came to save himself from fire and water, and he could return to Beijing to live a good life in the future
He naturally wanted to get drunk.
In the end, Zhu Feng was really drunk and was helped inside early.
On the contrary, Cui Yuan is very restrained in drinking.
At the end of the banquet, which had just started, Cui Yuan accompanied Zhang Zhoujin to the governor's office. This was not Cui Yuan's residence. He was just sending the new owner to this office as a host. Although Zhang Zhou could not stay in the city for more than a few days, but as long as Zhang Zhou was there, he would be the one to make the final decision here.
"Consort Cui, I'm sorry to disturb your husband and wife reunion. I have something to discuss with you," Zhang Zhou said.
Cui Yuan hurriedly said, "If you have anything to do, tell Marquis Anbian, or send someone to call him over."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "This afternoon is just a chance for you to get along with the eldest princess. , It’s not that I just talked to him about something, I didn’t even tell him. I came here this time to arrange the dispatch of troops to Liaodong. You may have to lead troops to attack Tang Yin from east to west and send troops to Liaodong. "< /p>
Cui Yuan lowered his head. He had learned the news earlier, but he didn't know the details yet.
"Zhang Budang, dare I ask, is there no one else suitable except me? In fact, after all these"I am very tired of leading the army every day, and I really want to give up my job." Cui Yuan wants to give up his job.
It is rare to meet someone in charge, even if he feels ashamed, he can't help but bring it up.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "You and Zhijie have very similar temperaments. He was mentioning this to me earlier too. ”
Cui Yuandao “It’s not that I don’t want to serve the imperial court, but my ability is limited. Previously, I relied solely on the bravery of the soldiers, God’s blessing, and your strategizing to achieve some success.” If this continues, I am afraid that luck will be lost and it will be detrimental to the situation in Liaodong. "
Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "But do you think, besides you, who else in the army can intimidate the Jurchens now?"
"This"
Cui Yuan thought about it and realized that he could recommend many people.
But given the current situation in Ji Liao, among so many generals, he and Zhu Feng are considered to be the best. As for the others. Basically, they are all civil servants, including Yang Yiqing and Tang Yin, who can only be regarded as commanders, not generals.
Zhang Zhou said, "Tang Yin was promoted to the commander-in-chief and commanded the troops in Ji Town and Liao Town. You will coordinate as the commander-in-chief." He sent troops, and I, as the Minister of War, coordinated the sending of troops. Be prepared. Before the end of the year, the troops and horses will be transported onto the ship and put to sea. Before that, the soldiers will have to do some training before transporting the troops. There is not much time left for you. "
Because transporting troops to sea to Liaodong will cause seasickness, and the soldiers have to adapt, some preparations need to be made in advance.
Cui Yuan asked, "What about the local military affairs? Who should I leave it to?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will take over. The eldest princess may only be here and will return to Beijing in a few days, haha. ”
This is to remind Cui Yuan to cherish the opportunity to get along with the mother-in-law at home. Time is running out and you have to embark on the next journey.
Although Cui Yuan is a little unhappy, He was willing, but he also knew that this order did not come from Zhang Zhou, but from the emperor, and he could not object. In addition, as a relative, he had a habit of bowing his head when facing power, and he could not There is no way to fight.
Cui Yuan didn't fight, but it didn't mean that his family couldn't.
Zhang Zhou had just rested for the night and got up the next morning. He was told that Yongkang had come to the house early to discuss something important. Needless to say, Yongkang came out to keep his husband. I only saw Yongkang but no one else, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, even if you Cui Yuan is rich, you are still a strict wife. Shouldn't it be up to you to show some momentum and shock your wife?
"Mr. Zhang, you don't keep your word. "Yongkang said angrily when he came up.
But she couldn't have an attack.
If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your husband. Now Cui Yuan is serving in the army, Zhang Zhou can do whatever he wants. With just a few clicks, Cui Yuan could have a hard time.
Zhang Zhou said, “Didn’t I tell you clearly when I came here that it was His Majesty’s intention to send him to Liaodong?There are many people from all walks of life in Liaodong, and there is only one road on his side. ”
Yongkang said, “You also know what I’m talking about.”
Zhang Zhou shrugged.
Looking at you like this, it’s hard for people not to know.
"I'm begging you, okay? Don't let him go, let Zhu Feng go. In terms of reputation in the military, isn't that young prince better than the prince-in-law? Otherwise, you can lead the troops yourself. Do you have to torture him to death before you are willing to accept it? I know you will use the emperor brother to prevaricate me, but as long as you speak, the emperor brother will also give you face. "
Yongkang really had no choice this time.
She had to beg Zhang Zhou, so she had to be humble.
Zhang Zhou said, "If you beat the Jurchens, always It can't be more dangerous than sending troops to the grassland. I don't know what you are worried about.
Yongkang said angrily, "My husband has become famous. I am indeed happy for him, but I don't know how much he weighs. Good luck will not always favor him, and he is leading troops outside." It relies more on the help of others, which is equivalent to saying that life is in the hands of others. ”
Zhang Zhou asked curiously, “Whose hands is his life in?”
“There is Baoguo Gong in front of him, Liu Yu in the back, and Zhu Feng in the back. They are all related to When the safety of the prince-in-law is in danger, as long as they are willing, they will let the prince-in-law charge into battle. The prince-in-law can only take risks again and again, and of course you. As long as the job you give him is dangerous, or you don't help him, he will die at any time, or even "My reputation has been ruined."
When Yongkang said this, he was scratching his head in anxiety.
But she had no choice.
In the capital, she could still run to the palace. She went to a relative to complain, but she also knew that this trick was useless against Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou said, "Then you underestimate Mao Ren's ability. I think he has the potential to be a famous general throughout the ages, if only because of that." If you are greedy for life and afraid of death and don't go into battle, you will make a fool of yourself. Princess, you don't want him to be called a coward, right?"
"You"
"Also, treat him too much A little confidence, so that he himself will have more confidence. Don't be so discouraged, many people will help him. According to what you said, the next person who can control his destiny is named Tang Yin. He is also a ruthless character. Ask him about Duobi City and what he did in North Korea. With their sincere cooperation, we can get It takes no effort to defeat the Jurchens. "End of this chapter
