People who grow up from hardships are always as tenacious as weeds, Zheng Wenjun is like this, she grew up in a secret camp, and she is highly respected by soldiers in the army. Compared to the hardships he suffered when he was a child, his current life was like heaven to her.

Now, she has a home, a husband, a father-in-law, and a cute baby.

She cherishes this hard-won happy life immensely.

The person who wants to deprive her of this happiness is her unrivaled enemy.

Just like now, the troops from the Hunan Observer Envoy who were rolling in outside the city to attack Yueyang City.

She had just finished her confinement, picked up a crossbow at hand, raised an arrow, and shot through an enemy who had just exposed half of her head, then threw away the crossbow, held a spear, and rushed to the defensive point that had just been broken through.

The spears were swallowed, the cold light was dotted, and the enemies who jumped from the siege platform to the city wall were stabbed to the ground one after another.

A platoon of soldiers rushed up and threw out the grenades lit in their hands, and in the explosion, the siege platform suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and the enemies who climbed on it like ants were either killed or became burning men one by one, screaming and falling and jumping down.

In the distance, the sound of golden gongs sounded, and the tide of enemies retreated under the gift of trebuchets at the head of the city.

Holding on to the city wall, Zheng Wenjun was a little panting, and his body still did not recover to the best after all. After fighting for a while, I actually felt a little physically exhausted.

"General Zheng, are you alright?" An officer approached her with a bloody knife and asked.

"It's fine." Zheng Wenjun shook his head: "That's the end of today, fight the city battlefield, treat the wounded, and the missing equipment in the city must be replenished immediately." The third battalion was transferred, the fifth battalion came up to guard, and the other brothers went down to the city to rest. ”

"Yes! General, go and rest! ”

Zheng Wenjun waved his hand, turned around and walked down the city wall, stepped on the war horse, and walked all the way towards the Yueyang Thorn Mansion.

Qian Bin's head was wrapped like a zongzi, and he was standing in front of the sand table fiddling with small flags one by one, while Yue Yang's assassin Shi Qian Biao didn't seem to be interested in these, and actually sat on one side, holding his little grandson who had just completed the moon and teasing.

For him, the war in front of him is far less important than making his little grandson happy.

In the last war, the Qian family was almost killed by Zhu Youzhen, Yueyang Qian Biao and Qian Bin became fish that slipped through the net, and now, they finally have a third generation.

Seeing Zheng Wenjun come in, Qian Biao finally stood up and handed his little grandson to his daughter-in-law.

"How's the battle going today?" He asked.

"Today they built more siege platforms, and the city defense was broken through a few points, but they were all driven back." Zheng Wenjun said: "Father-in-law, rest assured, Yueyang City is solid, and until now, we haven't gone all out!" ”

Qian Biao nodded, and now Yueyang's battle, according to Zheng Wenjun's suggestion, is half elite and half young. The other half of the elite was left in reserve.

Although this arrangement is a bit cruel, for them, it can preserve their strength as much as possible, and temper a new batch of elites in the cruel war.

Although the casualties of the young man were indeed larger.

"Does your head still hurt?" Holding the child and walking to Qian Bin's side, he reached out and touched the other party's head, and asked with concern.

When Qian Bin was commanding the battle a few days ago, he was cut in the head by the fragments of a stone projectile thrown by a trebuchet.

"Much better." Qian Bin said: "Father, Wen Jun, according to the news we just received, the Hunan army has captured Nanxian and Tongcheng, and then set off from these two roads and approached Linxiang. There are not many defenders in Linxiang, and most of them will abandon the enemy as soon as they arrive, and when the time comes, we will really become an isolated city. ”

"What do you want to say?" Qian Biao asked.

"I'm wondering if we can consider retreating." Qian Bin said: "Retreat to Jingnan, didn't Governor Ding Jianding send someone to say that once he felt that it was difficult to hold Yueyang, he would retreat to Jingnan and join forces with them?" ”

Qian Biao snorted coldly, glanced at his son, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at Zheng Wenjun, and said, "Wenjun, what do you say?" ”

"Yueyang is far from being able to hold on." Zheng Wenjun shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, Yueyang is a lonely city, but don't forget, we still have a passage on the water!" As long as the waterways continue to be depleted, our logistics will be replenished in an endless stream. ”

"Hunan also has a water division, don't the internal guards say, are they mobilizing the water division?" Qian Bin said.

Zheng Wenjun snorted: "If they dare to come, it would be good, Li Hao and my brother are waiting for them to come!" Destroy them in one fell swoop, and it will be easier to do it in the future. Their sailors are little more than paddlers compared to ours. Besides, my father-in-law doesn't want to retreat into Jingnan, right? ”

Qian Biao nodded: "First, Yueyang seems to be in danger, but in fact, there is not much danger, the city has sufficient weapons, grain and grass, and can be supplied from the waterway." Second, the military fortress we set up above Jun Shang in advance can play a bigger and bigger role, and at any time we can launch a surprise attack on the Hunan army besieging us from the waterway, involving the opponent's troops, don't look at us only 5,000 soldiers on Jun Mountain, but it is enough to contain the opponent's 10,000 soldiers and horses, the point of attack is chosen by us, and they can only defend passively. Third, I am reluctant to retreat into Jingnan, also because Tian Guofeng may retreat into Jingnan again. ”

Of the three reasons mentioned by Qian Biao, two are military, Yueyang seems to be in danger, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai, and the third reason is personal problems.

Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu were the key to Zhu Youzhen's attack on Ezhou.

If it weren't for these two people, Zhu Youzhen might not have been able to take Ezhou, and his Qian family would not necessarily have suffered this catastrophe. After the city of Ezhou was broken, Qian Biao's first hatred was Zhu Youzhen, and the second hatred was Tian Guofeng.

But then things reversed too quickly, and it turned out that Tian Guofeng was a chess piece buried by Datang very early. And Chen Fu is actually Chen Changfu. Chen Changfu is not famous, but his elder brother Chen Changping is famous, and the four brothers of the Chen family are the first to follow Li Ze.

There is no way to avenge this revenge.

But this does not mean that Qian Biao and Tian Guofeng can turn their rivalry into friendship.

retreated to Jingnan and became a colleague with Tian Guofeng, Qian Biao was unwilling to face such a situation.

Zheng Wenjun glanced at her husband and said, "If we can keep Yueyang, it will also be of great help to my father-in-law's career in the future." ”

Qian Bin didn't react for a while.

Zheng Wenjun smiled and said, "Da Lang, haven't you seen it yet?" If we can hold Yueyang, we will be able to contain the vast majority of the Hunan army from entering Ezhou and other places, and create an opportunity for our Tang army to seize Ezhou, a key node. At the same time, if we retreat into Jingnan, we will also bring Hunan soldiers into Jingnan, which will make Jingnan face the attack of soldiers and horses from Yizhou and Hunan. In terms of the bigger picture, we're failing. How will these accounts be counted in the event of future victories? On the contrary, as long as we hold Yueyang, even if the losses are greater, it will not matter, but in the future when we counterattack, the war in the whole of Hunan will inevitably be dominated by us, and if we take the whole of Hunan, my father-in-law will inevitably be the best candidate for the governor of Hunan. Li Xiang revoked Jiezhen and set up a province, depending on the scale of the province, there will inevitably not be too many provinces in the future, as long as he can step into this ranks, it will be the real feudal official. ”

"Wen Jun can still see it clearly." Qian Biao glanced at his son with some hatred and said: "In the future, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be highly centralized by the central government, and the local officials will be able to be the governor of one party at the highest, the minister of the ministry, you don't dare to wait, but I am determined to win the position of governor of Hunan." If I give up Yueyang now, what will I do to fight for this position in the future? Empty mouth white teeth? ”

Qian Bin's face turned red, he was only thinking about the current war, where did he think so much?

"Under the command of Li Xiang, there are many talents, but when the time comes, there will be only a few members of the governor in the whole world, and if you step up, it will be another world, and if you can't cross it, the Qian family will always be second-rate. Therefore, the current perseverance is for better development. Qian Biao said.

"Yes, father, son understands."

"Think more about things in the future, take a long-term view, don't just see these things in front of you, people have no long-term concerns, they will have near-term worries." While teaching his son a lesson, he took the little grandson from Zheng Wenjun's hand again: "You husband and wife have a good discussion about the next war, I will take Xiaobao to the back, it's time to breastfeed him." ”

Watching Qian Biao Shi Ran leave, Qian Bin looked at Zheng Wenjun with some complaint and said, "Since you have thought of this a long time ago, why don't you tell me?" I was taught a lesson by my father. ”

Zheng Wenjun smiled and said, "I thought you could think of this." Besides, now that the war is so urgent, I am so tired that I want to die at the end of the day, and when I come back, I just want to sleep, where do I have the heart to say this? ”

Qian Bin glanced at his wife a little helplessly. This wife is not the woman who obeyed his orders before.

"Do you really think Yue Yang is at ease? This attack is becoming more and more fierce every time, and the number of attacks on the city wall is also increasing, I am afraid that our old foundation will be wiped out. ”

"This is not our family's old roots." Zheng Wenjun said lightly: "This is the army of the Tang Dynasty, after the battle, there will naturally be a supplement in the future, Dalang, you have to remember this." The father-in-law will be the governor in the future, not the envoy of moderation. We are just a leading general of Datang. ”

Qian Bin was stunned, and only after a while did he say, "You are right." ”
