Half a year ago, the Battle of Luzhou ended, and Chahan's 800,000-strong army marched south.

once vowed to capture Luzhou and level the two Huai, but the army was frightened by the Yin soldiers of the Ghost Mansion.

If you return without success, how can you give up?

It is clear that it is a retreat, but it is actually a sound attack from the east to the west.

Withdrew from Luzhou, diverted to Yangzhou, Chahan lightning attacked, and broke through Chuzhou City, the gateway of Yangzhou, for a time, and also won a big victory. However, Yangzhou City is high and deep, and Zhao Kui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he will not go out of the city to defend Yangzhou.

Previously, a large number of siege equipment was lost in Luzhou, and Chahan, who had been unable to attack for a long time, had to really withdraw his troops and return to the Mongolian headquarters this time. Zhang Rou, who came to help in the war, was also transferred back to Kaifeng to continue to coordinate the war in Henan.

In the battle of Luzhou, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the 800,000 army lost troops and returned in vain.

Zhang Roubai ran away, in addition to wasting energy and suffering some humiliation, when he raided Yangzhou City, he was hit in the face by a flying stone. As a result, he was unrecognizable, difficult to see, in a bad mood, and closed his door.

Zhang Rou was burly when she was young, and her aura was high, even when she was middle-aged, she was extraordinary.

As a result, he was unlucky and disfigured in Yangzhou, the doctor was incompetent, and he was irritable, especially when he learned that his youngest daughter ran out of the house with his fifth son and came back from tying up an old Chinese medicine doctor outside.

He has always attached great importance to the relationship between the military and the people, and after listening to the report of the bastard's sons and daughters, he immediately rushed to the place of detention. Before entering the door, Zhang Rou was furious outside the courtyard, and scolded angrily: "Bastard things, no one cares, you will be lawless, and you will not let people go." ”

"Daddy, we are also good for you, that old man's medical skills are superb, and many incurable diseases in Ezhou can't be difficult for him. Daddy's illness can definitely be cured, but his temper is stinky and hard. There's no way we can do that. ”

was blamed by his father, Zhang Hongxiu, who was already in his twenties, was still very afraid of Zhang Rou, and was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't speak. On the contrary, the youngest daughter, Zhang Shuying, is still arguing with reason, clarifying that she is sharing her father's worries.

"Bastard. Are you still reasonable? Knowing the law and breaking the law, kidnapping and seizure, do you still have the royal law? It's all Hongxiu, you who are incompetent as brothers, you can't control your sister, and let your sister do such a big rebellious thing.

From today on, Shuying, you will stay at home honestly for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere until you get married. Hongxiu, open the door. I'm going to ask myself to come out. The son doesn't teach, the father is wrong, I hope that a lot of adults can forgive you, otherwise, hum! ”

Although it is a prison, it is not a prison cell, it is just a courtyard in the downtown of Kaifeng City, and there are some first-class masters inside and outside the courtyard to monitor.

I opened the innermost bedroom. As soon as Zhang Rou walked in, he saw an old gentleman with a red face and high spirits. Holding a teacup, sit leisurely on the edge of the desk, close your eyes and recuperate.

He was about forty or fifty years old, about the same age as himself, but his face was stiff.

As if seeing the other party's dissatisfaction, Zhang Rou stepped in front of the other party with a big step and said guiltily: "Brother, I have been wronged." Under Zhang Rou. It's the father of those two bastards. They are doing nonsense, and they really make you suffer, brother, and I can only compensate you here. ”

At this time, Zhang Rou had the high spirits she had seen in Luzhou before. Now he is probably trying to cover up his ugliness, and his nose and mouth are wrapped in a thin cloth. Only a pair of piercing eyes were revealed.

Seeing that Zhang Rou was about to bow down after speaking, Li Mu, who was drinking tea in the house, secretly said "pretend" in his heart. Li Muke didn't let Zhang Rou continue to worship, but grabbed his arm, helped him up and said, "Forget it, General Zhang is fighting outside, and the affairs of the family are beyond the reach of the whip." If you can let the old man out, the old man will be thankful. ”

Li Mu's appearance with his father Li Lin is quite similar to himself.

On the front line of Luzhou, Zhang Rou, who had seen Li Mu's true face from a distance under the city and was slightly familiar, hesitated and asked, "Old man, do you know me?" ”

"General Zhang's name is like thunder. Not only the old man knows, but the people of Luzhou also know, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty know it very well. The ancestors are Han people, but they are tigers, and they coordinate the Kaifeng City of Henan, which is really a great majesty! ”

Li Lin, an old man, really has a temper like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.

Hearing Li Lin insulting his father in person, Zhang Hongxiu, who had always dared not speak under his father's majesty, couldn't hold back and immediately retorted: "Old man, are you tired of being alive?" Where my father has sinned against you, it is our fault that you have been detained, and if you want to scold, you will come at me. ”

"Hongxiu, shut up! There is no place for you to speak! ”

Li Mu's insult, Zhang Rou has already heard too much. Their origin as the Han people who died in the country was not only looked down upon by the Song people, but also by the Mongols in the trenches.

Although Li Mu scolded ugly, Zhang Rou, who has always been quite principled, did not mind, but apologized again, and said with emotion: "Old man, what you said is also right and wrong. It is true that my ancestor Zhang Rou is a Han Chinese, but I was already a native of Jin when I was born.

We also want to be Song people, but how is the Song court, a corner of peace, and we are still breathing. The Northern Expedition, repeated defeats, and the recovery of Sanjing are far away. The Jin State could not be defeated, let alone the mighty Mongolian State.

I, Zhang Rou, were not born to be traitors, I must climb the glory and wealth, I just want to keep one side peaceful, and I only hope that the people in the places under my jurisdiction will live and work in peace and contentment.

Old gentleman, my children are not filial, and doing such a bastard thing is indeed a faux pas for me as a father.

However, sir, rest assured, although our two countries are at war, they have nothing to do with the people. I will personally send someone to send the old gentleman back to Ezhou, and what happened before will never happen again. ”

Zhang Rou spoke sincerely, Corporal Lixian, if he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be moved by Zhang Rou's sincerity immediately.

But Li Mu's role is that of an old stubborn, ignoring Zhang Rou's apology with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and walking out of the door without hesitation: "General Zhang, you can do your best." The old man still has something to do at home, don't bother, let the old man leave now! ”

"You ......"

Seeing that his father lowered his body like this, Li Lin, the old man, couldn't see it, and insisted on going back to Ezhou. Zhang Hongxiu, who just wanted to scold, was restrained by his father Zhang Rou's eyes, and could only listen to his father honestly: "Okay, I know that you have suffered, brother, and it is inevitable that you have some resentment in your heart." But I Zhang Rou has always done what she said and never broke her word.

However, now that it's almost noon, it's better to let the next do the east. Brother has eaten, I'll let someone send you back, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhang Rou's experience is comparable to that of his sons?

However, with this little means, I want to move Li Mu, which is too self-righteous.

Zhang Rou's invitation was not excessive, Li Mu climbed up the pole, his posture was extremely high, and he walked out of the yard side by side with Zhang Rou with a slight nod, Zhang Rou's two children followed closely behind.

As soon as they rode on a high-headed horse, the people in Kaifeng City immediately welcomed Zhang Rou when they saw Zhang Rou traveling, stopped and watched, and the big drama of the military and civilian families also officially began.

The streets were bustling, full of praise for Zhang Rou's great achievements, and Li Mu's stiff face was also relieved.

After that, after eating in the most lively restaurant, Li Mu said that he would not leave, and Zhang Rou, whose face was wrapped in a thin cloth, welcomed Li Mu home with a smile and eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
