Chapter 349 Pit Son

Xu Hongji is not Xu Zhixin, and he has experienced many winds and waves in his life. In the past few days, rumors have spread everywhere, saying that Wei Guogong disregarded the safety of the people for his own selfish interests. Most of these rumors were deliberately made up by those people, in order to put pressure on him, Xu Hongji. In terms of guiding public opinion and making use of people's hearts, those people can be said to be familiar with the way and can be caught.

Xu Zhixin is younger in the end, she can't be as calm as Xu Hongji, and she can't help but say a little angrily: "Daddy, you don't know what those people say about us, if we don't make some movement, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be affected." ”

"The morale of the military is affected?" Xu Hongji frowned, his eyes swept over Xu Zhixin, and finally fell on Xu Wenjue on the other side. At this time, Xu Wenjue tilted his body, supporting his head with his right hand, looking like he was out of the world. I don't know what happened, with a strange smile on the corner of my mouth. Xu Hongji coughed twice, but Xu Wenjue didn't react at all. In an instant, Xu Hongji's old face was a little dark, and Xu Zhixin held her forehead and sighed secretly. She was afraid that her father would do it again, so she had to raise her foot and kick Xu Wenjue, "Wake up"

was kicked twice by Xu Zhixin, Xu Wenjue finally came back to his senses, and felt that the eyes of his father and sister fell on him, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face changed, and he asked a little weakly: "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

"Hmph, what a bastard, are you deliberately trying to off the old man?" Xu Hongji glared at Xu Zhixin and gave Xu Zhixin a look, and Xu Zhixin hurriedly said the conversation just now. After Xu Wenjue understood what was going on, Xu Hongji asked with an unkind face, "What do you think of the situation in the army?" ”

"This" Xu Wenjue's head was wooden, and he was about to cry in his heart. Since I came to Wuhu and joined my father, I breathed a sigh of relief and threw everything to my father and sister. If it weren't for his father's strict order, he would have flown back to Nanjing to find a place to comfort his wounded heart. Now I suddenly asked about things in the army, I know what a fart, I don't have the heart to answer, but looking at my father's eyes, if I don't say three, five or six, I'm afraid I'll be beaten again.

Xu Wenjue shrunk his neck, and his eyes rolled, "Dad, the child thinks what my sister said is very reasonable, but there have been signs of instability in the army recently, it seems that some people have a lot of opinions about stopping in Wuhu and not moving!" ”

Xu Hongji's face was tight, his cheeks twitched, he wanted to rush up and beat him, but in the end he held back. Hey, what can I do, why can't this son be able to support the wall in the mud? The saddest thing is that this son is the most qualified of the three sons. With this virtue, expect him to lead the Governor's Mansion to fight against the Six Ministries in the future, and daydream?

"Hey, those people are just taking the opportunity to make trouble, do you really think that the old man is confused, and he can't figure out anything in the army? Let those people toss, which of these people didn't communicate with the military department? Hmph, what the old man hates most in his life is stepping on two boats, this kind of person, it's useless to stay in the Governor's Mansion, find a chance to send them away! After that, he turned his head to look at Xu Wenjue, and sighed with a complicated expression, "As for you, the old man doesn't expect you anymore, good daughter, you know a lot of girls, find some suitable ones, make peace with these few unsuccessful things, and get married as soon as possible." ”

Xu Wenjue was shocked on the spot, married? If this is after the wedding, how can you go to the Qinhuai River to be chic? Instinctively, Xu Wenjue weakly objected: "Dad, don't rush this matter, the child is still very young, wait for another two years!" ”

"Hmph, what are you waiting for, do you think the old man is for you? Get married as soon as possible, give birth to a boy and a half girl, the old man will train his grandson well, and let my government have a hope in the future, and when a few grandchildren are born, the old man will not bother to care about you! ”

Xu Wenjue was completely dumbfounded, his father was completely desperate for himself and his younger brothers. Xu Zhixin looked at Xu Hongji with a smile, turned around and knocked on Xu Wenjue's head, and scolded angrily: "Look at what, isn't this exactly what you want?" That's fine, hurry up and get married, inherit the family for my Xu family, and save your father from trying to support you again and again, and finally make a fuss. ”

Xu Zhixin also didn't understand what evil this generation of Xu family men had fallen into, and they were all mixed up with sour Confucianism, and they were not interested in military affairs at all. However, the Governor's Mansion was on the verge of the most danger, which made my father emaciated and several years old.

Xu Wenjue saw that his words didn't work, so he accepted his fate. Think about it carefully, it's good, hurry up and give birth to a son, and with a son, the father can let himself go. As for whether the son will be tired or not, whether he will think that his father has no conscience, it doesn't matter. In short, enjoy the present and look to the future. Seeing that there was nothing to do with himself, Xu Wenjue found a reason to run out in a gloomy manner.

As soon as Xu Wenjue left, Xu Hongji raised his radish finger angrily, and poked it in the void, "Good daughter, look at it, what kind of urine, why did Lao Tzu give birth to a few of these things?" Hey, you said that if you are a man, the old man will have to save a lot of heart. ”

Xu Zhixin smiled awkwardly, didn't answer the conversation, but changed the topic, "Okay, don't be angry about Wenjue and their affairs anymore." Daddy, our bet this time is not small, is Tiemo really reliable? Don't catch nothing at that time, and you will be infamy. He is not afraid, patted his ass and returned to Xuanfu, and we will suffer. ”

Xu Hongji showed an appreciative smile, nodded and said: "Yes, so my father decided to let you go to Luzhou Mansion, and after you got there, I said that my father had long been interested in their artillery and wanted to observe it on the battlefield." ”

"Oh, it seems that Daddy has been prepared, so the child will leave for Luzhou Mansion early tomorrow morning. But here, are you sure you don't need the kids to stay and help? Xu Zhixin was still a little worried after all, Xu Hongji waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "You are too underestimated as a father, just this little matter, can't you solve it for your father?" ”

Xu Hongji had a detailed discussion with Xu Zhixin, and then sent a letter to Luzhou Mansion. Since I let my daughter Xu Zhixin go over, I have to say hello, how can I say that he is also the governor of the three provinces, and he has a very good relationship with the British public Zhang Weixian, so he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.

At this time, Tiemo had already run to Lengshui Pass, and recently in order to avoid Fei Yang, Tiemo and Wang Zuohang were running around. By the time the letter was delivered to Tiemo, Xu Zhixin and his party had already arrived at the camp of Nijianghe. Wang Zuohang unfolded the letter and read it, and shook his head with a smile, "Supervisor, it seems that Grandpa Xu still can't trust us a little, and he even sent his own daughter over to supervise us." ”

"After all, the stakes are big, and it is the first time to cooperate, so Grandpa Xu is a little worried, and it is understandable. It's just that I don't know how this Xu Zhixin is a person, if she is too capable of doing things, it will be really a bit troublesome! ”

Wang Zuohang thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "That's not necessary, my subordinates heard that this woman is generally knowledgeable, sensible, and has helped Grandpa Xu take care of military affairs for many years. If the news is correct, then she will definitely not cause us any trouble. In the final analysis, she came here mainly to rob the rogues, and she was afraid that she would suffer a loss in this matter. ”

Tiemo rolled his eyes noncommittally, why did he say it so nicely? Aren't you afraid of uneven distribution of spoils? Hey, Grandpa Xu is also too careful, is he the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation? No matter how greedy you are, you can't be greedy for this kind of thing.

Compared with Nanzhili, which is like chaos, Henan is much calmer. However, Henan is not without war, in the past half a month, the officers and soldiers have continuously used troops against Baofeng City and Funiu Mountain, but the effect is very small. Sun Chuanting, Zhao Shujiao, and a part of the Xiangyang soldiers and horses arrived to the west of Baofeng City shortly after. Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, also led tens of thousands of troops from Shaanxi to cross the Yellow River and stationed in Mianchi. Since he came to Henan, it was impossible not to do anything, so Sun Chuanting wrote a handwritten letter to Chen Qiyu, stating the interests and disadvantages, and made an appointment to use troops against the Liukou.

In the end, Chen Qiyu was moved by Sun Chuanting's words, and Tiemo's Xuanfu soldiers and horses had already chased Gao Yingxiang's main force to Nanzhili, and the Liukou who stayed in Henan were only remnants. Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong, the two rogues were already at odds, and after repeated setbacks, their morale was low, and this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. At the beginning in Shaanxi, he was hung by the nose of the rogue, which had already made the court dissatisfied, and if there were no more achievements, it would be a bit too much to say.

After Sun Chuanting's side started fighting, Chen Qiyu immediately ordered Liu Yingyu and others to attack the middle of Funiu Mountain to contain Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong. But what everyone didn't expect was that the counterattack on the side of Baofeng City was very fast, Sun Chuanting touched a full head, not to mention, the officers and soldiers on the side of Funiu Mountain were even more miserable. Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong didn't know what was going on, so they put aside their prejudices and gathered soldiers and horses together to attack the Shaanxi soldiers and horses in the middle. Liu Ying was attacked by the enemy on his back and retreated.

In short, the joint operation plan formulated by Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu was a failure and a failure. Chen Qiyu is still a little mentally prepared, after all, he has been dealing with Liukou for a long time, and he also knows that Liukou is quite difficult. But Sun Chuanting was very depressed, before Li Yangchun's department couldn't shrink in Baofeng City, and Tiemo's people sang and danced outside the city, they didn't react, and they were as well-behaved as the third grandson. But he led his troops to attack Baofeng City, and these rogues were like fighting chicken blood, and they relied on the thick walls of the city to defend themselves, and the Yingshan Red Flower Xiaorong even led the soldiers and horses out of the city to raid. If it weren't for Hua Xiaorong's sudden ruthlessness, Sun Chuanting would not have suffered such a big loss.

Sun Chuanting's headquarters soldiers and horses are actually not outstanding in combat effectiveness, and the real main force is actually the more than 3,000 Liaodong soldiers and horses under Zhao Shujiao. In order to cover the safe withdrawal of the army to Nanyang, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong suffered a lot of losses, and Zuo Liangyu was shot in the shoulder by a cold arrow when he retreated. Because of this, Zuo Liangyu was angry, and after returning to Nanyang City, he was still scolding.

"Niangdi, this gang of rogues, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if that Hua Xiaorong has a chance, Lao Tzu must dismantle him"

Wu Sangui sat next to him and tilted his head and rolled his eyes, Zuo Liangyu already had a scar on his face, and his face was even more hideous. But Wu Sangui was still rolling his eyes, and Zuo Liangyu suddenly said angrily: "Brother Wu, what kind of eyes are you?" ”

"Hey" Although Wu Sangui was very young, he said with an old face: "Hey, Brother Zuo, why are you angry?" It's not just the rogues who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, if we have been chasing the rogues' butts all these years, I believe that Li Yangchun will also be afraid of us to death, how can you dare to play tricks with us? It's a pity."

Zuo Liangyu's anger gradually subsided, but his face was a little distorted. Although I don't want to admit it, I really haven't been able to put any pressure on the rogue in the past six months. On the contrary, it was the rogue who attacked here and grabbed there, so that the children of Liaodong could only follow behind and eat ashes. When Gao Yingxiang's headquarters stopped in Nanyang Mansion, he fought a battle, and he was indeed beaten back to Xiangyang City by the rogue. If you think about it, there's really no reason to be afraid.

Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui muttered, and the corner of their eyes swept into the distance, and saw Zhao Shujiao inviting Qin Liangyu into the house with a smile on his face. Zuo Liangyu held his chin and thought about it, and said with a somewhat strange look in his eyes: "Brother Wu, do you think that Mr. Zhao has been meeting Mr. Qin a little more frequently recently?" Mr. Zhao seems to have something. ”

Of course, Zuo Liangyu was not referring to men and women, Wu Sangui said with deep feelings: "Wait, it is estimated that Mr. Zhao will tell us what is going on soon." If the younger brother guessed correctly, Mr. Zhao talked to Mr. Qin, most likely to bypass Baofeng City. ”

In the house, Zhao Shujiao didn't know that Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui were chewing on the root of their tongues, he was talking to Qin Liangyu with a serious expression, "General Qin, you have also seen the situation in Baofeng City. As long as Li Yangchun himself is not stupid, with the strength in our hands, it is impossible to gnaw this hard bone. The army stopped at Nanyang Mansion, which was really a waste of time and military supplies. ”

Qin Liangyu frowned deeply, very hesitant. The matter was so important that she had to think about it. Zhao Shujiao proposed that the two sides join forces, break away from the Nanyang battlefield, and go to Nanzhili to help the iron superintendent. As the governor of the three provinces, Tiemo does have the power to dispatch troops and horses from various departments in Henan. However, his own troops and horses are under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and Sun Chuanting is in charge of it. Even if you want to go, you have to agree with Sun Chuanting. Zhao led the religion to ignore Sun Chuanting, and the two sides privately transferred troops to Nanzhili.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman and a toast of different races, it does not mean that she knows nothing about government affairs. She knew very well that if she agreed to Zhao Shujiao's proposal, once she left the Nanyang battlefield and ran to help the Iron Supervisor, she would be completely blacklisted by the Sixth Division. The six parts of iron and ink, that is long-lasting.

Qin Liangyu couldn't make up his mind, but Zhao Shujiao was in a hurry, this matter had been delayed for too long, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible. Nan Zhili's side has been urging several times, but the Iron Inspector can't delay it for too long, and if it drags on any longer, Hangzhou will really be eaten by the Liukou. Once Hangzhou falls, it will be two situations, and at that time, the pressure from all sides will be coming, even His Majesty may not be able to bear it, and it will not be possible for Tiemo, the governor of the three provinces, to really come to an end.
