A few days later, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the school grounds, a torrential rain suddenly fell in the sky, and lightning and thunder roared in the clouds. The rain poured like a torrent on the earthen dam, splashing and mixing with the dust that had not yet subsided, and the ground seemed to be flat with a fog.

The black gauze hat and robe on Zhu Gaoxu's body were wet in an instant. He looked at the surrounding scene, and the soldiers who were training maintained their formation in the rain, without a trace of confusion. After all, most of the people here have experienced great battles, and have encountered even worse things on the battlefield, and a rain can't affect them.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui rode his horse and rushed to this side in the rain.

Wang Gui grabbed his horse, turned over and dismounted and ran to Zhu Gaoxu's horse, and said, "General Chen Dazhui is back, just arrived for a while. ”

"Go home!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered, he shook the reins, and as soon as he clamped the brown horse between his legs, he rushed out first.

Wang Gui hurriedly climbed back on the horse, and the other attendants also shouted and patted the horse to catch up.

Zhu Gaoxu asked on the road that Chen Dazhui was in the study on the east side of the transport hall, so he rode straight to the study. A group of several people rode horses and ran in the rain for a while, and when they arrived outside the study, they were already soaked, like chickens in soup.

"Phew!" Zhu Gaoxu made a sound outside the door, and the person jumped to the ground vigorously, and waved his hand to disperse his entourage. He strode into the door, and sure enough, he saw Chen Dazhui and others. The two people who had just come back were very lucky, their bodies were very dry, and when they arrived at the Han Palace, it must not have rained yet.

There was a strange little lady standing next to Chen Dazhui, which made Zhu Gaoxu feel very embarrassed. Looking at her dusty appearance, she should not be a palace maid in the palace, like someone who came back with Chen Dazhui. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the little lady.

Chen Dazhui just hugged his fists in worship, and before he could speak, Zhu Gaoxu asked first: "Is there any progress in the matter?" ”

Chen Dazhui opened his mouth and temporarily changed his words: "Lord Wang, the last general brought something back." ”

Zhu Gaoxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he felt a feeling of anticipation. He glanced at the strange lady again, and felt that she was a little in the way.

At this time, the little lady saluted and said, "The concubine Xu has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

Among the people Zhu Gaoxu knows, there are many people surnamed Xu, and he still doesn't know whose family this little lady is. Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and saw that although her face was a little dirty and her facial features were not bad, she was relatively short and very petite...... Du Qianrui is also petite, this little lady is different from Du Qianrui, she does not have Du Qianrui's bumpy and full charming figure, and she looks a little thin.

The little lady said again: "The father of the concubine is Xu Zhang." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and remembered who Xu Zhang was, and she suddenly let out an "oh". Isn't that Princess Zhao who was divorced by her third brother?! Or maybe Xu Zhang has more than one daughter, but how could Xu Zhang's daughter be with Chen Dazhu?

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Chen Dazhui, with an inquiring face.

Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Xu Niangzi was previously Princess Zhao, and her aunt was the wife of General He of Ningyuan Marquis. What I said when I saw Ning Yuanhou was accidentally heard by Xu Niangzi. Marquis Ning Yuan was in charge, and lied that Xu Niangzi wanted to become a nun and asked me to bring it to the Han Palace. Fortunately, the can ride a horse, and she is also very obedient to the arrangement of the last general on the road, but fortunately she didn't encounter trouble. ”

And this kind of thing!

Xu Xiaoniang said cautiously: "King Mingjian of Han, the concubine body is not intentional. ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, since she had been suspended, and then mentioned that the relationship between King Zhao's side was not very good, so he said: "I have wronged Miss Xu, please Haihan." ”

When Xu Xiaoniang heard the salutation, she immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu with strange eyes. She then shook her head, her eyes wandering away from Zhu Gaoxu, as if she was very interested in him.

Although she was the wife of Zhu Gaoxu's brother, when Gao Sui got married, Zhu Gaoxu had already arrived in Yunnan, and she didn't have time to participate in Gao Sui's wedding, so she had never seen this brother and daughter-in-law.

"...... like this," Zhu Gaoxu soon began to instruct, "Wang Gui, you take Xu Niangzi to see the princess, ask the princess to receive her first, and then let Duan Xue take care of it." ”

Wang Gui said: "The slave and maid obey the order. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said politely to Xu Xiaoniang: "Miss Xu, don't worry, the princess will take care of you." He paused for a moment and then said, "In addition, in the Han Palace, there are inevitably some treacherous spies hidden in the secrets, and we can't let the court know that Miss Xu is in the Han Palace." Therefore, Miss Xu should not tell others about her identity, and she has to change her name...... You just said that your surname was Wang in the past, and you became a nun in your early years, and you only saved your hair and returned to the vulgar last year. ”

Xu Xiaoniang bent her knees and her face was slightly on one side, "His Royal Highness King Xie Han, the concubine obeyed the order and retired." ”

After Wang Gui left with the people, Zhu Gaoxu walked to the chair behind the table, turned around and said, "Next time I see He Fu, tell him to be more detailed." General Chen will show me the things first. ”

"Yes." Chen Dazhui took out an envelope from his clothes for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair, took the letter and tore it open to read it carefully.

He couldn't take care of Chen Dazhui, and was silent for a long time after reading the letter. He was a little surprised when he read the letter, because those people in the court and China had probably guessed his strategy; But he gradually got the bottom in his heart...... He Fu actually became the deputy general of Pinghan!

The position of Deputy General Left is very important, not only to participate in military aircraft, but also to have military power.

For example, when Zhang Fu was in the battle of Annanguo, he was awarded the title of deputy general, and he had a large army directly under him, and the number was even more than that of the commander Zhu Gaoxu! Due to the slow communication, the space of the war and battlefield with too many people will be large, and it is inconvenient for a commander to command, so the power of the troops is usually divided.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses, looked up and saw Chen Dazhui standing silently in front of the bookcase, and he said: "Dazhui did a good job, I will not treat you badly in the future." ”

Chen Dazhui said: "I have to rely on the prince to have today." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "You go and rest first, and then go back to summon you to discuss matters." ”

Chen Dazhui said goodbye and walked out of the study.

Gradually, Zhu Gaoxu felt the coolness on his body. Summer has not yet passed, but the climate of Yunnan Province is like this, day and night, rain and sunny days are like two seasons; Zhu Gaoxu was drenched all over, and after sitting here for a long time, he felt even more chilled. He was only thinking about He Fu's news just now, and he didn't bother to change into wet clothes.

He was the only one in the study now, and he looked up the door to call someone in.

At this moment, Miaojin's figure appeared at the door. She was wearing a Taoist robe and holding an umbrella, and after collecting the umbrella, I saw her holding a stack of clothes in her arms. Just by seeing the clothes, Zhu Gaoxu felt as if he was warm, probably because his heart suddenly warmed.

Miao Jin walked over and put her clothes on the table, "You changed your wet clothes." ”

"What a coincidence, how did Miaojin know that I was wet?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Miaojin's tone was not shocked, but her expression didn't seem to be very happy, "I met Wang Gui outside the carrier gatehouse, with a woman. Wang Gui called me a real person, and the woman immediately guessed who I was, and asked me if I was the little aunt of the King of Han. Wang Gui also said that the king of Han was discussing matters, and it was inconvenient for idle people to disturb him, so he wanted to find a cronie eunuch to send clothes. So I said, I'm not supposed to be an idler......"

Zhu Gaoxu listened to the words in his ears, first carried his clothes into the storage room, and changed his wet clothes.

He walked out and said in a low voice: "That woman is the former princess of King Gao Sui of Zhao, and she was divorced because she didn't have children. He then roughly told the story of how the came to Yunnan, and then told Miaojin to keep it secret.

After hearing this, Miao Jin muttered with great interest: "No wonder she guessed me at once, King Zhao is afraid that he mentioned me in front of her." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In the Yanwang Mansion before, there were many women in my father's palace, but Miaojin's beauty still covered everyone. You are close to our queen mother, Gao Sui must remember. ”

Miaojin said quietly: "I'm afraid it's more than that." Yang Rong wrote an article in the middle of the court, accusing the king of Han of snatching me away, making it known to the world. ”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and thought for a moment, and said kindly: "Miaojin, don't care too much about gossip, you and I have no blood, what are you afraid of?" ”

Miaojin didn't answer.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I'm going to go on the expedition again soon, if Miaojin is not afraid of hard work, still follow me?" ”

Miaojin groaned, hesitated, and said softly, "It's not that I'm afraid of hard work, it's just that people's words are terrible...... But I thought that my book was not finished yet, and I was willing to go on an expedition with the King of Han. ”

"That's why." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Miaojin's book is written by me, you have to finish it." ”

Miaojin had a complicated expression on her face, "It turns out that Gao Xu also cares about reputation?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I don't care much now, but I think it should change in the future." When people get old, it's boring to think about anything, nothing can be kept, everything has become a floating cloud, and only the vanity of hanging on the wall and being worshipped by others still has some meaning? If you're willing to write, why don't I follow you? ”

"You're such a greedy person." Miao Jin muttered.

Zhu Gaoxu blurted out: "Who is not greedy? ”

Miao Jin bowed his head and was silent.

After a while, she looked to the left and asked, "Gao Xu is determined to go on the expedition, where do you want to conquer?" ”

"There is no place to set, only a goal. Hunt for the main force of the enemy army! Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

He then remembered that Miaojin was writing a book, so he continued: "Some people in Jingshi are speculating about my thoughts, thinking that I pay attention to battles. That guy didn't guess wrong!

I have always believed that only by devoting our strength, energy, and strength to preparing for a decisive battle as much as possible can we do in order to be the right way for a soldier. Because only the main battle is the key point to completely change the situation. If you don't prepare for a head-on decisive battle in advance, and you avoid a decisive battle, you will definitely not get much benefit, after all, the results of the battle are always proportional to the cost of input; And once forced to go to war, it is bound to be underprepared and suffer a great loss. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Miaojin and said: "The boss and the soldier are sometimes the same, and the more cowardly, the easier it is to die." ”.
