Liangzhou, Dacheng Guzang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mingguang Palace is a building that imitates the style of the palace of the Han Dynasty, which is very grand and tall, and began to be built during the reign of the first Liang Dynasty, and has been quite large-scale so far. Its curtain foil is decorated with gold and jade, pearls, inlaid with bright moon beads everywhere, golden majesty jade steps, day and night bright, so it is called "Mingguang Palace".

Zhang Mao was wearing a wide white gauze shirt with wide cuffs and a curly crown on his head. Liang Guan, a kind of ceremonial crown with a horizontal ridge, began in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was later worn by civil officials in the dynasties.

The beam crown is square in shape, low in front and high in the back, leaning back, with a surrounding piece, opening in front and closing in the back. At first glance, it doesn't look like a martial artist's dress, but like a civil official sitting upright in the lobby.

Zhang Mao was originally a scholar, although he was in the army, he did not have the atmosphere of the army. His appearance is a little old, this cool lord is only in his early forties, he looks like a person in his fifties and sixties, his figure is not very straight, and his back is a little arched. And the bags under the eyes are very heavy, and the spirit is not very good.

He was holding a military newspaper in his hand, which was the news from the Jincheng front.

Ever since he decided to enter the land of Qinzhou in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, Zhang Mao would pay attention to the movements of the army every day. Although the Han Kingdom has been declining in recent years, it is still strong. This sneak attack was not so much a long-planned adventure as a test of the rising Liangzhou against the former northern overlord.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu Han State did not relax its precautions against Liangzhou, but coveted the two counties of Jincheng and Guangwu, and even colluded with the rebel generals to enter the Kou. Fortunately, Han Pu was a veteran general in the army, and he quelled the rebellion in time, so he didn't cause a catastrophe. However, the expedition turned into defense, and not only did the strategic intention not be achieved at all, but also trapped in the golden city.

Liangzhou would never sit idly by and watch the Huns seize Jincheng, and Zhang Mao urgently ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses from the second division of the Chinese army and the Yamen army to rush to help. Now it has successfully expelled the 30,000 Huns who invaded the border, and also occupied Yuzhong on the east side of Jincheng.

It was said that it was an expulsion, but in fact there was no large-scale field battle. The Huns could not attack for a long time, the old army of the division was tired, and they caught up with the heavy snowfall, and the logistics were difficult, so they took the initiative to retreat. The Liang army followed all the way, taking advantage of the situation to attack the city and occupy some remote small counties, although it was useless, it finally looked better in face.

Yuzhong is not a big city, but it is also on the bank of the Yellow River, and Jincheng can be a horn for each other, Zhang Mao ordered Han Pu to temporarily defend Jincheng County, preside over defense and post-war affairs, and transfer Xiping, Jinxing two county government troops into Yuzhong, the big river defense line stabilized.

The Chinese army and the Yamen army were equivalent to the forbidden army in Liangzhou, and they withdrew as soon as the fighting stopped, along with Han Pu's detailed report and Chen Zhen's letter to join the army.

Since Zhang Jun entered the barracks, there will be a newspaper on his desk every day, and it can be said that Zhang Mao has been paying attention to the slightest change in his nephew. Zhang Jun has a willful and reckless side, but also a calm and decisive performance. This is an adventurous, penchant for swords, and does not follow common sense.

What Zhang Mao has to do is to constantly wipe Zhang Jun's buttocks, such as those heroes in Guangwu County, and the nephew is simple and rude, full of enthusiasm and drive. But as a ruler, he had to come forward to pacify the place. On the one hand, the crimes of the slain were announced, and on the other hand, the more deferential heroes were ordered to be praised.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the fierce fire can only make all the dishes in the pot burn.

It's not that Zhang Mao doesn't know that Guangwu Haoqiang is left and right between Liang and Han. But on the one hand, there were too many problems from within, and he didn't want to prematurely provoke the contradictions on the border, so that those powerful people would completely fall to the Xiongnu; On the other hand, the soil on which the Zhang family lives is Haoqiang, and even the Zhang family itself is a wealthy surname.

Those local tyrants in Guangwu County, even if they are all killed, it will not help, and the root cause is that Liangzhou still does not have the strength to completely control the place. The Huns entered the army almost a few years ago, and Guangwu County was a place where Liang and Han fought each other. The city head changes the banner of the king, today it is cold, tomorrow it belongs to the Han, it is difficult to make it return to the heart.

However, in the past two years, the border has gradually stabilized, and it is time to rectify it, so Zhang Mao did not interfere too much with Zhang Jun's behavior, but just kept observing in secret to see what his nephew could do.

According to Han Pu's report, his nephew was not in the city when Jincheng was besieged, but returned to Guangwu to rectify the army, and he also ordered his nephew to turn back to Guzang, but apparently Zhang Jun did not obey this military order.

According to Zhang Mao's own understanding of his nephew, that stubborn boy who is not afraid of heaven and earth will definitely not give up the opportunity to fight. The right way is that the born calf is not afraid of tigers, and he has not personally participated in it, so can he take care of it?

But now that two months have passed, there is still no news, which makes Zhang Mao nervous.

picked up Chen Zhen's book to join the army, and some speculations were written in it: The young general may have gone deep into the land of Qinzhou of the Huns!

"Qinzhou ······" Zhang Mao closed his eyes slightly, and the shadows of Longxi and Nan'an appeared in his mind······

In Guzang City, the only county lord's mansion, Nian Nu had just had lunch, she didn't eat much, because she was afraid of the cold, so she rarely moved around, and it was common for her to not go out of the backyard for ten days and a half months.

The cups and plates had been removed by the maids, and on the table was freshly brewed warm tea, which contained a variety of spices, a little thick and sweet, which she preferred. There were a lot of people in the backyard, but they were all waiting from afar to disturb her. Niannu seems lonely, but she's not boring. picked up a piece of paper beside her, it was the letter that Brother Jun wrote to her a month ago.

The vigorous handwriting on the white paper was very strong, and she had read it many times, but it was still a lot of fun. Nian Nu was wearing a goose-yellow miscellaneous hanging hair suit, with a narrow waist outlining the curves that had been highlighted, with her jade white skin and gorgeous cherry red lips, adding a luxurious atmosphere.

After a while, a maid walked in lightly and said that a eunuch had come to the palace and had something to report.

Niannu didn't speak, and his eyes didn't leave the letter in his hand, but he only bowed his head slightly, as if nodding. Not long after, a young eunuch walked over with small steps, knelt on the ground a few steps away, and said, "Lady, everyone orders the slave and maid to pass the word, and there is no letter from the young general······

"Got it." Niannu put down the paper in his hand, gathered a touch of melancholy between his eyebrows, and waved his hand slightly.

The eunuch gave another salute, took a few steps backwards, and withdrew.

"It's been two months······" Nian Nu said to himself: "Will Brother Jun be in danger? ”

Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back any longer, got up and ordered: "Prepare the car and enter the palace." ”
