Although Zhang Xing's face was pale, she couldn't see much panic, and only nodded.

"Master He, don't be in a hurry, let's be clear, what have you seen?"

He An hurriedly cleaned up the panic in his heart and told in detail what he had seen along the way. After hearing this, Zhang Xing nodded again and ordered: "Master He, please invite a few people from the courtyard over there first." ”

He An saw that Zhang Xing was not in a hurry, and his heart was also a lot calmer, so he nodded hurriedly and went to call someone.

The house was quiet for a while, only the wind was loud outside, the lights in the house were flickering, and Gu Yu's heart was pounding. They don't have any ideas. At this moment, there is a war, not a noise on weekdays, whoever is loud and strong can crush people, the people of a city, I don't know how many of them are people they know, but Xu can be wiped out in such an instant.

Zhang Xing didn't speak for a long time, only sat quietly. One hand clenched into a fist, the other caressed his stomach.

He An brought the other three over in a moment.

"Madame......"

Zhang Xing stood up, waved his hand, signaled them not to be polite, turned to Gu Yu and said, "Do you know how to get to Yinhe Village?"

"Know!" Gu Yu nodded. He wandered around the nearby country markets all day long, and cleared the doors of the nearby villages and towns.

"Okay, you and Master He will ride a horse to Yinhe Village, there is a master Hu Ye in the village, his courtyard is the most neat in the village, you can find it as soon as you go. After meeting the people of his family, you will inform the news of Yuxian County......" Zhang Xing paused, "If his family needs your help, you just have to listen to the instructions." ”

Gu Yu got an explanation, and led the horse out of Zhuangzi with He An.

Zhang Xing looked at the sky, estimated that it was midnight, and ordered the others to guard the door, and turned off the lights under the corridor, leaving only the main hall bright. Mother You was afraid that Zhang Xing would be tired, so she persuaded her to rest first. Zhang Xing shook her head.

About an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside. The guard hurriedly climbed up to the wall, looked at it for a while, and waved his hand: "Quickly open the door, it's Gu Yu." ”

Zhang Xing also walked out of the main hall. Gu Yu entered the door, and before he had time to wipe his sweat, he came over and replied, "Madam, your letter!"

Zhang Xing took the letter and tore it open. The letter was actually left by Ye Xinchen. In just a few words, she read it in a moment.

I don't know if it's a fluke, Ye Xinchen is actually in Yinhe Village these days. Zhang Xing was originally at the end of her rope, Yuxian was in danger, she just thought that maybe Ye Yunqing's family had a way to quickly spread the news from here to Huaiyang. Yuxian is the territory of the king of Huaiyang, no matter which side of the soldiers and horses attacked Yuxian this night, the Huaiyang palace can not ignore it.

Ye Xinchen's letter was written in a hurry, only saying that it was too late to go to Huaiyang for help, and since there was an accident in Yuxian, the situation in Huaiyang was probably not good, so he went to General Luo!

Hexi Army?!

After Zhang Xing finished reading the letter, he burned it.

Gu Xichao and others have been in the Hexi Army in the past few years since they left home, and General Luo is relieved to hand over his daughter to Gu Xichao, and the two parties must have reached some tacit understanding.

Miss Luo, that's a very good girl, beautiful, kind-hearted, virtuous...... , which is equivalent to the door of Huaiyang Palace, is indeed a good marriage.

Zhang Xing suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and when she turned over, she vomited, and Mother You and the others were frightened.

Supposedly, this month is no longer due for morning sickness.

Zhang Xing took a sip of the water handed over by Sun Baozhu, stroked his chest, and said with a pale face: "It's okay, you all go to rest, and leave the two of you to watch the portal." ”

All the people were anxious, and although they had to rest, none of them slept well, and the next day before dawn, they went about their work. Gu Yu went out early to inquire about the news as usual, and came back dejected at about noon.

The town was under martial law, the search was very strict, and the patrol in the city was several times more than usual, but anyone who saw someone gathering to discuss matters would be dispersed, and those who violated the order were taken into custody and imprisoned.

Zhanghe was originally a small town, and there were not many people in normal times, so it was even more deserted. Gu Yu walked around the streets and alleys, and made some friendships with the patrols he was usually familiar with, so he got some inside information.

It was not only Yuxian that had a war last night, but also Huaiyang Jin'an, and Huaiyang was particularly tragic, and I heard that the city gate was once lost

When it was close to dawn, the rescue from Yuxian rushed to take it back, and I don't know how many people died. Except for a very few of the patrol soldiers of Jin'an who escaped, the rest were all wiped out.

Early in the morning of this day, adults from Yuxian County came down in Zhanghe to take over the affairs of the center, arrange patrols, and impose martial law in the whole town.

Zhang Xing heard this, nodded, and was about to speak, when Sun Xin and Wei Minwu came in.

It turned out that after Master He and others came back, Sun Xin had been guarding the city gate. The Hexi Rescue Army arrived at about Mo Yin, and attacked inside and outside, and the besieging soldiers broke the dam in less than a stick of incense. However, the city was still not allowed to enter, and after the day was completely bright, the gates of the city were opened to allow the people to pass. But the checks are very strict. When he entered the city, the traces of the war had not been completely cleaned, and the carriages that dragged the dead were being pulled out one by one.

The notice at the gate of the city has been posted, last night it was the people of the Huainan General Army Battalion who attacked Yuxian County, and the notice bluntly wrote that Xiao Fugui, the former Huainan General Soldier, colluded with the thief Liu Shenzhou to rebel, but it has been repulsed, please rest assured.

“…… The family is fine, don't worry. Wei Minwu said, "The current situation is chaotic, and Yuxian can't leave for the time being, so you can just follow me into the city." ”

Zhang Xing touched her stomach and shook her head, "Forget it, it's quiet here, I'm used to it, and besides, it's not far from you, so I won't toss." ”

Wei Minwu looked around the inside and outside of the house, "Then let's add a few more people." ”

"No need, there are more faces, and they are also eye-catching. ”

Wei Minwu glanced at Sun Xin. Sun Xin understood, and immediately beckoned Gu Yu and the others out.

"The northwest side also made a move, and this morning they seized Mianzhou. Wei Minwu said in a low voice.

"No wonder ......" Zhang Xingwu said, and asked, "When did Xiao Fugui turn back?" The news she got earlier was that Xiao Fugui, the general soldier of Huainan, and General Luo had entered Beijing to state that the three counties of Yuxian, Huaiyang and Jin'an were attacked, and it would not have been possible without Xiao Fugui to preside.

Wei Minwu shook his head, "I don't know when he turned back, I got the news three days ago, they are still on their way to Beijing." At that time, I was still wondering, this little emperor is gone, who are they pretending to be?"

Zhang Xing smiled, "Naturally, it's for the world to see." Although the little emperor is gone, didn't the queen mother come to power with a milk doll?" "The ambition has been there for a long time, but if you want to do it, it is always better to wear a skin of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence." Maybe three days ago, a group of people in Shangjing changed their decoction, and the Yun clan horse gang was doing business after all, where was this kind of secret so easy to listen to.

Xiao Fugui suddenly attacked Jin'an in Yuxian County, Huaiyang at night, and maybe he also found out the news in the northwest, and made the first move, wanting to occupy Jianghuai first and choke the way of the Shen family to the south.

Now that the matter has failed, Jianghuai can be said to be divided into two, Xiao Fugui has many soldiers and horses, the foundation of the king of Huaiyang is deep, and Liu Shenzhou and Luo Yong are mixed in it, and the twelve counties of Jianghuai do not know how to divide them? The Shen family in the northwest has been planning for many years, and they will not let go of this piece of Jianghuai easily.

They seized Mianzhou in the first step, and it was precisely at Jianghuai that they came to seize it.

"The one that Empress Dowager Yan hugs?" Wei Minwu shook his head, "This background is confused, who can accept it?"

Zhang Xing looked at Wei Minwu in surprise. Wei Minwu said: "Don't look at me, I don't have an accurate letter about this, it is rumored in the palace that this is the Empress Dowager Yan who was brought in from outside, and the one raised by the palace maid is no longer in the cold palace." ”

"None of these things are accurate, and it is useless for you to listen to them. Wei Minwu glanced at Zhang Xing's waist and abdomen, and said.

Zhang Xing stroked her stomach and lowered her head and smiled, "Yes, it's useless to listen more." Wei Minwu and the others also thought about her, and hid everything outside from her.

Actually, this is indeed the case, is there this child that the Yan family hastily picked up, those princes who are ready to move, they should still move, it's just a matter of time sooner or later.

Even Wei Minwu found out that this child's origin was a little confused, and those princes would make a big fuss about it, even if there was no problem, they would also shout that there was a problem.

It is estimated that the Yan family just wants to temporarily stabilize the situation, but they don't want to make mistakes, and it is estimated that the palace is also not calm.

"Second brother, Huaiyang...... Second Brother Wang, do they have any news?" Zhang Xing asked while touching her stomach and lowering her head.

Wang Jiye is Wang Bingyi's second son, who was originally the palace soldier of the king of Huaiyang, this family is kind to her, the war in Huaiyang was fierce last night, I don't know if their family has anything to do?

Wei Minwen and Wang Jiye and others have been to Qingmeng Mountain together to live and die together, Wei Minwu has also been to the door of the Wang family, and he also knows Wang Jiye's brothers.

"I don't know yet, but I've sent someone to inquire. I'll tell you as soon as I have news. "Wei Minwu has no doubt about him.

Zhang Xing nodded silently.

"If you don't go back to the city, I'll follow you, but if you have any problems, you need to send someone to tell you quickly, and you must not hide it. As for the things outside, we can only take advantage of the situation......" Wei Minwu Yinyin explained, Yun Jinlan was pregnant, there were many things in Yuxian, and after he had lunch, he went back to Yuxian.

After Wei Minwu left, Zhang Xing began to look at the account books he brought. Zhao Zixing is indeed capable, Zhang's rice shop has begun to turn into zero in states and counties except Huaiyang Yu County, the name of the shop has been changed, and there is not much sold, but there is indeed a lot of grain harvested.

In last night's battle, Yuxian's business was not implicated, and one of the shops in Huaiyang burned down half of it, but fortunately, there were no casualties, and the loss of rice and grain was not large.

She now has no money in hand, but only food. After last night's battle, the situation in Jianghuai's undercurrent is clearer, and she is safer than before. The Shen Gu family is now desperate to become one. On the day the Shen family stepped into Jianghuai, the things she gave to the Shen family should also be prepared in advance......

After changing hands for a time, Jin'an City was recaptured a month later. The news of people Zhang Xing knows has also been confirmed one after another. Wang Jiye, the second son of Wang Bingyi, who sat in the hall of Huaiyang Ci'an Hall, was promoted to captain after the first battle of Huaiyang, and made great contributions in the next battle for Jin'an and was promoted to battalion general.

Tang Yu was promoted to captain, Liu Jinlai was seriously wounded, Zhang Pengyu was killed in Huaiyang, and Zhou Haitian was killed in the battle for Jin'an.

As for the two relatives of the Zhang family, Ye Xinchen and Liu Yi, they are also fine. Ye Yunqing has moved to Yuxian County. I heard that Uncle Ye also entered Yuxian County with a large family, and after living in the Wei family for a few days, he was scolded by Ye Hexiang. Zhang Jinbao rushed over and secretly sent some silver money to Uncle Ye.

In November, Wei Minwen personally pressed the boat and went to Heyuan, and the situation in Heyuan was not peaceful compared to Jianghuai. Liu Shenzhou crossed the river, but his men and horses could not come in large numbers - General Luo was still guarding the river embankment. Fortunately, this year over there is also a good year, it is a bumper harvest year, although the price of grain is high, but the Zhang Wei family is not short of money, and they still collect two full boats back.

The price of grain here in Jianghuai has more than doubled compared with last year, and fortunately, the water is not big this year, and the Zhao family has a wide range of people in the townships and towns below, and has also collected some grain scattered.

Several secret granaries are piled up.

After Huaiyang in Yuxian County was attacked that night, there was no peace in Jianghuai, and the big and small wars never stopped, Gu Yu often ran out, bringing news from all over the country, which state and county had changed the county government, where the patrol had drawn people in various villages and towns, and so on. However, the three counties of Yuxian, Huaiyang, and Jin'an were connected as one, forming a complementary, and they were close to the Hexi Army.

This year's winter was exceptionally cold. After entering Layue, many sections of the Huaishui River were covered with thick ice.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the Heyuan Army and the Hexi Army fought in Huaishui, Xiao Fugui suddenly attacked the Hexi Army from behind, and the Hexi Army was almost defeated. Fortunately, the Yu'an Yuxian County Patrol Battalion arrived in time. Although the Hexi army was not defeated, it lost tens of thousands of men and horses, and had to retreat to the Yu'an area of Yuxian County.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the Heyuan army crossed the Huaishui. In this battle, the losses of the Heyuan army were not small, and Liu Shenzhou and Liu Yihan died in battle. Liu Yihan's son Liu Shaoping co-opted the rest of the people and joined forces with Xiao Fugui to surround the area of Yu'an, Yu'an and Huaiyang.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the gongs and drums of Huaiyang City shook the sky, and Gu Xichao, the son of the king of Huaiyang, married Luo Zihan, the daughter of General Xuanwei. I heard that Huaiyang City was extremely lively that day.

Zhang Xing walked around the yard a few times, and it began to snow, Mother You hurriedly took a big fur over, wrapped it for her, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, this day, let's just walk a few laps less, it's too cold." ”

Zhang Xing smiled, "Don't get in the way, I'm wearing thick clothes and can't freeze." ”

Mother You was holding on to her and urging her to hurry back to the house. Zhang Xing was finally moved by her, went back to the house, drank a cup of hot tea, read the accounts and books as usual, and Mother You came in and waited, only to realize that it was already dark.

"Baozhu, why haven't you come back yet?"

Mother You said while distributing vegetables: "I have already asked Gu Yu to greet her." ”

After entering the winter moon, the vegetables in the nearby market are not easy to buy, and they need to go to the town. Gu Yu is not as good as Sun Baozhu in doing this, she is originally from the vicinity of the Zhanghe River.

It was dark, and Gu Yu came back, but he didn't see Sun Baozhu.

"Several vegetable sellers said that she had already bought it, and the little fish that was the gatekeeper of Uncle Fu's house was personally sent out of the city, where did this person go? )
