After about a month of turmoil, Chang'an City finally returned to calm under the maintenance of the imperial army.

Moreover, this turmoil itself did not have much impact on the people, but because of the fall of the family, a lot of land and trading markets were vacated near Chang'an City, so that the entire Chang'an City market became more prosperous.

However, although Chang'an City has been pacified, the flames of war in other parts of Datang have just been ignited.

"Didn't the Zheng clan send someone over to surrender?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we have not met the envoy of the Zheng family, and according to the report of the spies, the Zheng family has also gathered about 20,000 people in Xingyang to urgently build the city wall, preparing to resist us all the time, trying to delay time and turn around."

"Haha, what's the use of delaying time, it's better if they get together, I Lao Zhu in the province can run from place to place, and I can serve it here."

After nearly a month of marching, Lao Zhu, who chose Huainan Road first, had already reached his first destination on this expedition.

The base camp of the Zheng family in Xingyang, one of the five surnames and seven hopes.

Xingyang is located in the area of today's Henan, and Lao Zhuxuan's Huainan Road also happens to govern part of today's Henan, so Zheng's is indeed Lao Zhu's Chinese meal.

At the same time, the Zheng family in Xingyang is the largest family in Huainan Province, who will take the Zheng family if Lao Zhu doesn't take the Zheng family?

Xingyang Zheng clan, their origin can be traced back to the Zheng State of King Xuan of Zhou, and then in the next few hundred years, although there was a decline, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, starting with Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others in the Zheng lineage at that time, the Zheng family gradually developed into a high-ranking family.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Zheng family developed into one of the top families in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was not until the imperial examination system prevailed in the world that it began to gradually decline.

Of course, this is not to say that the Zheng family is not good, but under the iron fist of the imperial examination system, all the traditional gate valve families have begun to decline, and it is not just the Zheng family.

Xingyang Zheng's family, during the Tang Dynasty, there were eleven people as prime ministers, and the rest of the Jiedu envoys, generals, Sima, and soldiers could not be investigated in detail, which shows how strong Zheng's strength is.

"Let's go, let's go all the way now, and when we see people like spies, we will arrest them first, and then release them after the review is clear, and don't hurt the innocent people, I don't want Lao Li to trouble me because of this."

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, several generals under him looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then said to Lao Zhu:

"Your Majesty, don't you know, in front of us, the Zheng family has moved all the people away, and now our front is a no-man's land, let alone hurting the people, we can't find one even if we look for it!"

"In this case, it would be better, just start marching at full speed, put your posture on the table for me, fight such a rabble, I want to give them a preemptive."

"Yes."

Along the way, Lao Zhu's army did not encounter any decent resistance, and none of those spies or the like could catch them.

Because those spies didn't need to get close to investigate the situation at all, they could clearly see Lao Zhu's huge marching posture from afar, so they all ran away before Lao Zhu got close.

...........

"It's already here, how about it, and there's still no reaction from the other side?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the city gate is still closed on the other side, not only is there not the slightest sound, even if we send someone over to scold, the other side will not respond as if they did not hear it."

"Hmph, don't scold if you don't scold, waste your saliva, let's start attacking the city directly, this time transfer my new army, I want to try how powerful it is."

"Yes."

Looking at the first city in front of him, its walls were not high, the bricks were not thick, and coupled with the faint figures on the city walls, Lao Zhu really couldn't figure it out.

What do you think you can do to defeat my army of 50,000?

Could it be that you are also open, and then there will be a surprise soldier from the sky to defeat me? Or is there a magic boy with two pigtails?

...........

"Brother Wang, are you afraid?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, of course you're scared, but you can't help it, my mother-in-law and children are still waiting to eat, this dog's Zheng family has put away all the food and forced us to die for him."

"Hey, Brother Wang, wait a minute, after the battle, when you go home, you can go to my half of the ration."

"Ah, Xiao Song, why, you don't have much rations?"

Although Lao Wang was a little puzzled, he was even more moved in his heart, because Xiao Song was usually very good to his own family, especially to his two sons, which was just like his own son.

It's just that I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Xiao Song could still remember to take care of his family.

"Hey, Brother Wang, I'm alone, I'm full, the whole family is not hungry, unlike you, I have a wife at home, and I have two children, now they should still be hungry at home waiting for you to bring rice back to cook, you can wait for half to go back."

"Okay, Xiao Song, don't thank you for your kindness, you are good to the eldest brother's family, and the eldest brother will remember it for the rest of his life."

"Hahaha, no, no, Brother Wang is the best reward for me when he goes back and raises his two nephews."

"What?"

Lao Wang was a little puzzled, how to take care of his children was the best reward for him.

"Well, it's... Brother Wang, in fact, I have a reluctant request today, and I hope Brother Wang can agree. ”

"Xiao Song, you just say it, what is the relationship between the two of us, there is no need to be so polite."

"I can't hide it, Brother Wang, you see that I haven't gotten married at such an age, but I look at your two children every day, and I'm very envious, so I think after this battle is over, if I don't die here, can you let those two children worship me as my father-in-law after I go back?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Song's whole person was very nervous, what if Brother Wang stood up and beat himself at this time?

"What, it turned out to be this, of course it's okay, I thought it was a big deal, and even if you don't say it, I want to say that you are usually too good to my two babies, and they may wish they could call you your father-in-law."

"Really, thank you Brother Wang, thank you Brother Wang for your success!"

"No, no, it's as it should be."

The two hugged each other and patted each other's juniors heavily, and at this moment, the harmonious neighborhood relationship was vividly displayed here.

Hey, everyone in the world is guarding against Lao Wang, but Xiao Song has turned over the wall, and in this world, the changes are too fast.

..........

"Here, Your Majesty, your new army has come."

In a rumbling rolling sound, Zhu Yuanzhang's army actually pushed a cannon, wait, where did this come from such a big cannon?

Ordinary cannons can be stuffed into the barrel and shot out when they are placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's cannon.

"Yes, yes, I spent a lot of money to buy this cannon from over there, which is said to be their biggest cannon, I don't understand the other reasons, but the bigger the more powerful, the truth is still understood, have you put the shells away?"

Gently touching this cannon, Zhu Yuanzhang was like touching his daughter-in-law, eager to wipe the non-existent stains on it with his clothes.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been put away."

"Okay, then let me see your power, let's begin, and see if it is worthwhile for me to form your new army?"

"Yes, the last general will not disappoint His Majesty this time."

As soon as he spoke, the professionally trained Daming soldiers immediately came to a set of operations that Lao Zhu couldn't understand at all, just like a regular army.

But for Lao Zhu, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, I just need to look at the power and the result, if the power is not good, if the result makes me dissatisfied, hehe, no matter how awesome you look, you will fuck me off
