This kid was born only four pounds and seven taels, and everyone felt that this child was born prematurely. But Xiang Cheng doesn't think so, it is still the thinking of modern people, and premature birth or normal birth is the same in Xiang Cheng's opinion. It's a pity that this kid is a boy, but it makes Xiang Cheng a little unsatisfactory.

Although Xiang Cheng was depressed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, in the final analysis, he still felt that he owed a lot to the child, only once he complained to Gan Ning and Guo Jia that he wanted a daughter, but he didn't get the approval of these two, after all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, men were still important.

Guo Jia, Gan Ning and others didn't understand Xiang Cheng's thoughts, in this patriarchal era, they didn't understand why Xiang Cheng had to be a girl. But Xiang Cheng's idea is very simple, girls are easier to raise than boys.

The child's name was Xiang Ji, and it was Xiang Cheng who wanted everyone to know that this child did not want to, but the best gift given to him by God, and Zhang Ning was moved by just one name, and Xiang Cheng no longer let Xiang Cheng live in Gan Ning's house.

As for Cai Wenji, Xiang Cheng is even more respectful, precisely because Cai Wenji helped Zhang Ning desperately when she was in the most danger, and Xiang Cheng didn't know that it was Cai Wenji's green jade finger It was because of this incident that it was swollen for more than ten days. Cai Wenji didn't care either, she had actually fallen in love with this man named Xiang Cheng from Zhang Ning's mouth in the past few days in Xiang's mansion, and even felt that as long as she stayed together, she was happy, and she didn't care so much about fame and other things.

Cai Wenji understands Xiang Cheng, and Xiang Cheng has learned about Cai Wenji through some fragments of later generations, maybe sometimes the two who are no longer together can know and understand each other better, just like Xiang Cheng and Cai Wenji now. No one can say for sure in the future, but at the moment, the family is even more happy.

Xiang Cheng doesn't have many friends in Luoyang, even if he has this moment, he is no longer in Luoyang, and on the day of the full moon, only the generals He Jin, Cai Yong and the people from Huangfu Song's mansion came. But Xiang Cheng still kept busy greeting, although there were not many people, but they were all the top existences in the court or among the literati. Therefore, from the birth of Xiang Cheng's son to the full moon, the entire house was very busy.

In Xiang Cheng's depression and the congratulations of his relatives and friends, time passed quickly. This time encompasses everything, including Fu Xie's envoy to Hanyang Taishou, including Sikong Zhang Wen being appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry to replace Huangfu Song.

Xiang Chengcheng seemed to have given up his last chance, and stayed at home every day with his son and Zhang Ning. But Guo Jia and others did not abandon Xiang Cheng and left, but accompanied Xiang Cheng with a stubbornness of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

Everyone in the world loves fame and fortune, and Guo Jia and Gan Ning are no exception. But they followed Xiang Cheng like this, this is not selfless, but waiting for an opportunity. And that opportunity soon came.

On this day, Liu Hong once again made an exception to convene the early dynasty. Xiang Cheng was still in the last position, but the focus of the day was not him, but the battle report from Meiyang.

"Zhang Gong intercepted Han Sui Bian Zhang in Meiyang, I don't know what the public thinks?" It was Zhang Rang who spoke, but the meaning of his words was what Liu Hong wanted to say.

The hall was silent, but Xiang Cheng was secretly anxious.

The Battle of Meiyang can be said to be a very strange battle force, just like several classic battles of Emperor Guangwu's great magician Liu Xiu, there is a force in the dark that is urging the Han Dynasty to win. Because there will be a "meteor attack camp" after that, which will lead to Dong Zhuo's success in robbing the camp.

In Xiang Cheng and Guo Jia's plan, this battle was actually to be missed, and they would turn the tide directly after Dong Zhuo and others pursued and lost.

But because of Zhang Ning's premature birth, this battle lingered in Xiang Cheng's mind, and after several discussions, it seemed that this opportunity was an opportunity that must be seized, even Guo Jia felt so.

Xiang Cheng stood at the end of the military attache and looked forward, and when the hall was quiet, He Jin spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." ”

Meiyang was good news, who would have thought that He Jin would say such a thing in this hall. Liu Hong was annoyed in his heart, but he had to pretend to be Mount Tai and ask without changing his face: "What's wrong?" ”

He Jin said: "Meiyang is mountainous, easy to set up ambushes, and Sikong Zhang Wen is not good at military affairs, the first battle to the Jiechen is afraid that Zhang Wen will be so happy that he will continue to pursue, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army." ”

Liu Hong smiled when he heard this, and said, "The general seems to be very diligent recently." "What kind of person He Jin is, I'm afraid no one knows better than Liu Hong, he is smiling leisurely at the moment, it is really because He Jin seems to be really motivated recently.

He Jin said: "Your Majesty, the minister must die for my Han Society!" ”

Liu Hong smiled knowingly and praised: "Okay, good!" is worthy of being my general, so why worry about the big man not being happy, hahahaha. All the ministers in the palace echoed in unison.

Liu Hong smiled and asked: "Since the general has expressed his worries, can there be a way to deal with it?" ”

He Jin didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "We should send someone who knows how to command and use troops to respond to each other with Zhang Wen, so as to respond to all changes without change." ”

Liu Hong said: "Who do you think is responsible for this?" ”

At this time, He Jin pondered for a moment and looked around the hall, but the funny thing was that these civil and military SLRs saw He Jin looking at him, and they all twisted their heads to the side and didn't dare to look at him, until He Jin's eyes swept to Xiang Cheng.

Naturally, the two of them didn't dare to look at each other on this hall, and some of them only met for a moment between these eyes. He Jin Zhengse said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xiang Cheng, the general of the captivity, can take on this great responsibility." ”

Liu Hong said: "Where is Xiang Cheng?" ”

"The minister is here."

"I have named you ......"

Before the words fell, Zhang Rang, who was beside Liu Hong, quietly pulled the sleeves of Liu Hong's dragon robe. Liu Hong turned his head to look, Zhang Rang was about to speak and stopped, Liu Hong smiled and asked in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Father, I feel that something is wrong." ”

On this hall, Zhang Rang naturally didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty, this success is from a thief, and he is not clean, if he is allowed to lead the troops alone, he is afraid of ......."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that he will become the source of the second Liangzhou Rebellion."

Liu Hong was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "How is that good?" ”

Zhang Rang's eyes rolled and said: "It's better to let the general He Jin lead the troops in front, and let this become his general, how about it?" ”

Zhang Rang's mind is really delicate, let He Jin lead the troops outside, in fact, he is not afraid that Xiang Cheng can really support the army and respect himself, after all, before Xiang Cheng was "recruited", there were 100,000 troops under his hands.

Zhang Rang actually wanted Liu Hong to transfer He Jin out, this person was against himself everywhere in the court, although the eunuch's relatives were incompatible, but now is the time of war, and the rights of this relative are greater than that of the eunuch after all. If He Jin really let him go, he didn't have to look at his face to act.

As the emperor, Liu Hong naturally couldn't understand Zhang Rang's careful thinking, but he didn't resist such an approach in his heart. As an emperor, it is a balance, and now that He Jin is in power, he will naturally be slightly biased towards Zhang Rang.

After figuring out this section, Liu Hong said loudly: "I ordered the general He Jin to command 30,000 troops, and the general Xiang became a general, and immediately set off for Meiyang." He Jin didn't give him a chance to speak, and with a wave of his sleeves, he retreated from the early dynasty.

He Jin walked up to Xiang Cheng and said, "Hey, Jiyu, Jiyu, you can kill me!" ”

Xiang Cheng was still immersed in the joy of going to the battlefield at this moment, and asked in a trance: "Why did the general say this?" ”

He Jin frowned and replied: "The most handy weapon I have ever held in my life is the pig-killing knife, you can't let me carry two pig-killing knives into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
