But it was on the side of Shangcai City, when the Red Turban Army was rewarding meritorious deeds. The story of the Red Turban Army's victory over the officers and soldiers of the imperial court in the First Battle of the www.biquge.info Yue Temple also spread like a gust of wind throughout Runing Province.

……

Hundreds of miles away from Shangcai, Guo Weier is embroidering with her mother-in-law Aunt Xue and aunt Zhang Qin, but looking at the haggard faces of the three women, you know that they obviously are not in the mood for embroidery, and this is nothing more than distracting their attention.

"Hiss~~" A sound of inhaling cold air sounded, but it was Guo Weier, who was already a wife, who accidentally punctured her fingers. Yin Hong's blood flowed out, and after Aunt Xue, who was sitting next to Guo Wei'er, saw this scene, she hurriedly put down the front in her hand, and said to the second sister of the maid Wang and Xiaohong behind her: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you bring the ointment for Wei'er to stop bleeding." ”

"Mother, it's not in the way, such a small injury can't use ointment." Guo Weier said, and wiped the blood on her fingers with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Zhang Qin's family on the other side sighed, put down the needle and thread in his hand, and said: "Hey, don't embroider, the war ahead is clear, we women who are worried about our sons and husbands, where do we have the mood to embroider." ”

Hearing Zhang Qin's words, the three women in the room were completely silent. This silence is very depressing, but Mother Zhang (Aunt Xue will be called Mother Zhang in the future) is the housekeeper's eldest lady after all, so when she sees this, she will change the topic and distract everyone.

But before Zhang's mother could speak, she heard a subordinate in the courtyard shouting: "Great joy, great joy, the first battle of Yuemiao, the Red Turban Army defeated the Tartar army, 30,000 Tartars were swept away, young master, they won, big victory!" ”

When the three women in the room heard this, they immediately couldn't hold their breath, even Zhang's mother, who had always been steady, couldn't help but stand up in a hurry, and even the embroidery around her didn't care to clean up and hurriedly went out, and stood at the door and shouted to one of her maids: "Quick, go and call the person who is shouting in, quick." ”

Seeing that the three ladies were in such a hurry, where did they dare to delay, the maid trotted out of the backyard and called the person who had reported the good news in.

And after the person came in, he looked a little frightened and restrained, after all, the Zhang family is definitely the emperor of Taihe now, so when the person entered the backyard, he only dared to walk with his head down, and he didn't even dare to come out.

But the three women who were anxious were not in the mood to care about this, and Zhang Qin, who saw them, was the first to ask the next person: "What did you shout just now, say it again, quickly." ”

When the subordinates heard this, they immediately lowered their heads in a joyful tone and said: "Back to the lady's words, Yue Miao defeated the Tartar army in the first battle of the Red Turban Holy Sect, and the young masters won a great victory, sweeping away the Tartars of Runing Mansion, and now the army has taken advantage of the victory to pursue the Ruyang side." ”

"Where did you know that?" But it was Zhang's mother who asked.

"When the villain went out to buy, he heard a few cavalry shouting into the city, and the villain didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and he came back immediately, and now it is estimated that everyone in the entire county knows about it."

Hearing this, Zhang's mother, Zhang Qin's family, and Guo Wei'er couldn't help crying with joy, especially Zhang's mother, who had always believed in Buddhism, couldn't help but fold her hands and said: "Buddha bless, really Buddha bless." As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

And just when the three women couldn't suppress their emotions, another maid entered the backyard, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they bowed their heads to Zhang and said: "Lady, two soldiers on horseback came from outside the door, handed over a few letters to the slave maid, saying that the eldest young master asked them to bring them, and they left after putting down the letters." ”

Saying that, the maid handed the letter in her hand to Zhang's mother's personal maid, and the maid took the letter and handed it to Zhang's mother.

After Zhang's mother got the letter, she also calmed down her emotions temporarily, wiped her tears, and waved her hand to let the subordinates in the courtyard and the maid retreat.

After these people went down, Zhang's mother said with red eyes: "What are you crying about, what are you crying, what tears are shed, you should be happy." Come to my sister, Shihui wrote a letter to you at this time. As he spoke, he gave a letter to Zhang Qin's, and then said to Guo Wei'er with a smile: "Wei'er, come, this is a letter specially written to you by Bochang." ”

Guo Weier took the letter with tears in her eyes, looked at the familiar words on the letter, and couldn't help but smile and hugged the letter in her arms.

And besides, at this time, Taihe Xian City was indeed just like what the little guy said, that is, under the chanting of several knights along the street, almost all the people in Taihe Xian City knew about the victory of the Red Turban Army and Yue Miao over the Tartar Army, and then there was a burst of cheers in the county.

After all, most of the soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command are soldiers from Taihe, and now that Zhang Shihua has won a big victory, the relatives of these soldiers are naturally extremely happy. As for the things of the court and the state, for the low-level people who can't even eat, these dirty things can't resonate with them at all.

Even now all the people hope that the Red Turban Army can continue to win, after all, the Red Turban Army will at least help them and the poor, and the taxes charged are lower than those of the Yuan and Mongolian courts.

But most importantly, the outcome of this battle has also changed many people's minds dramatically.

……

If the Zhang family has now become the first powerful family in Taihe Xian because of Zhang Shihua's army, then the Guo family, as Zhang Shihua's wife, can definitely be regarded as the second family of Taihe Xian. However, because the current head of the Guo family, that is, Zhang Shihua's father-in-law Guo Tianming, is a staunch defeatist, the relationship between the Guo family and the Zhang family has become a little distant since Zhang Shihua forcibly dragged the Guo family on the road of rebellion without saying hello.

So much so that Guo Yu, who is Zhang Shihua's eldest brother and youngest brother, did not participate in the war with Zhang Shihua under the strict orders of his father.

However, Zhang Shihua didn't care about his old father-in-law's estrangement, but because of his wife Guo Weier, he felt a little sorry for the Guo family. After all, no matter what the Guo family says, they are their own in-laws, but they pulled their father-in-law's family on the thief ship without saying hello, and it is normal for them to feel uncomfortable.

However, when Guo Tianming, who was at home, learned the news of the Red Turban Army's victory over the Tartar officers and soldiers, his inner thoughts couldn't help but change. I regret it deeply, I regret that I did such a stupid thing.

After all, the 30,000 well-trained imperial army was defeated by more than 10,000 Red Turban troops who were similar to a rabble, which was enough to show: "The luck of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court is exhausted!" ”

Therefore, as soon as he knew about this matter, Guo Tianming called Guo Yu into the study.

In the study, Guo Tianming looked very much like his son when he was young, sighed and said: "Yu'er, you have grown up, you are getting smarter and more far-sighted, not bad." But your father and I are becoming more and more confused and timid. ”

"Daddy......" Hearing this, Guo Yu looked up at his father violently, as if he wanted to say something to his father, but before Guo Yu could speak, Guo Tianming said: "Shut up and listen to Dad." ”

"Do you know why Dad didn't let you help your brother-in-law, to be honest, that's because Dad thinks that the Red Turban Army has no possibility of winning at all, because compared to the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, the so-called Red Turban Army is too weak and weak."

"So at that time, Dad didn't want you to go to the battlefield to help your brother-in-law, not because Dad was afraid of death in the court, but because Dad was afraid that the white-haired people would send the black-haired people ......" said Guo Tianming's eyes were a little red.

"Daddy!" When Guo Yu heard this, he also shouted with red eyes.

However, Guo Tianming didn't care about his son who was kneeling on the ground, and still said to himself: "But this incident taught my father a lesson, and made my father understand that in this troubled era, there is no hope for a person or a family to fight or take it away." Dad is afraid that you will have an accident, but Dad is even more afraid that my Guo family will disappear from now on. ”

"If this is the case, then even if my father is dead, I will not be able to face my ancestors and ancestors. So, Yu'er, Dad hopes that you can take our Guo family to make a way in this troubled world, can you do it! ”

"My son will do his best to keep the family safe in troubled times!" Guo Yu knelt down and said.

"Good! Good son! Guo Tianming picked up Guo Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with red eyes: "That is the case, tomorrow you will take the soldiers of the clan to Shangcai to assist your brother-in-law Bochang, although our family did not help much at first, but after all, Bochang, this child misses the old, and he will definitely reuse you if you go, so that our Guo family will have hope." ”

"But you have to remember that in the future, you have to stand with Bochang no matter what, my two families are in-laws, and Bochang's child is not a thing in the pool, as long as you can follow him, my Guo family will be able to survive in troubled times."

"Got it!" Guo Yu said solemnly.

……

At the same time, in Shangcai City, Du Zundao finally finished reading the rewards of the Red Turban generals, but what is strange is that this time the list of rewards is all military generals like Luo Wensu and Han Yan'er, and the Red Turban Army think tank civilian officials like Du Zundao Sheng Wenyu have not been mentioned.

But if you think about it, you can understand that the Red Turban Army is now a literati who are upright and can ascend to the hall of elegance, except for those civilian officials who surrendered, it seems that there are only two people, Du Zundao and Sheng Wenyu. After all, those who can study these years will not have too bad family backgrounds, and if these people are not persecuted, those who are full of food will defect to your Red Turban Army.

Well, of course, a strange person like Sheng Wenyu, who was born in a family of eunuchs, has a reputation for being a scholar, and has to hold the red flag against the red flag is a minority after all, a minority of the few.

Moreover, Du Zundao and Sheng Wenyu's current official positions are not low, and there is no one who can replace their positions. So Zhang Shihua guessed: "It is estimated that the two of them will be rewarded when Liu Futong defeats Ruyang, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for his group of generals to receive such a reward." ”

Of course, this is all later, just now, after Du Zundao announced the reward, the generals in the hall will also bow and thank the coach Liu Futong under the leadership of Luo Wensu, and after the generals thank them, the reward will be over, and then Liu Futong will assign a specific combat plan to the generals.

I saw that Liu Futong coughed lightly after letting the generals exempt him, and said aloud to the generals in the hall: "The matter of rewarding is over, and then the commander will arrange the next step of our army for your brothers." ”

When the generals heard this, they all put on a posture of sitting upright, and Liu Futong continued to say when he saw this: "Shangcai Xian City is located in the north of Ruyang, and it can be said that this city can be regarded as the gateway to the north of Runing Mansion, and it is an important abnormality. ”

"It can be said that as long as this city is in the hands of our army for one day, then the Tartar army in the north will not want to come from the north, so this city must be guarded by a heavy general, otherwise it is really difficult for this commander to feel at ease." Speaking of this, Liu Futong glanced at Han Yan'er and said, "General Han, are you willing to share your worries for this commander?" ”

When Han Yan'er heard this, she didn't think about it, so she lined up and hugged her fists at Liu Futong and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will defend this city to the death, as long as the last general is alive, he will never let a Tartar go south!" ”

When Liu Futong heard Han Yan'er's words, he patted Han Yan'er's hand with a smile and said, "Okay, with Brother Han's words, I will be able to feel at ease." ”

After saying this, Liu Futong continued: "In this way, the Han general Zheng Qianhu led his troops to stay behind, and the rest of the generals will attack Suiping and Queshan counties with their generals tomorrow." ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals replied in unison.

……

After the meeting, the generals left one after another, Zhang Shihua rode on the horse and thought that he was now a general, so he couldn't help but smile, but Zhang Shihua thought again that when he was the so-called general until now, when he still had a thousand people under his command, the cheerful mood in Zhang Shihua's heart dissipated.

"There is still a long way to go!" Zhang Shihua sighed so in his heart, but just as Zhang Shihua was sighing here, he heard someone behind him calling him, Zhang Shihua turned around and saw that the person was Han Yan'er who was ordered by Liu Futong to guard Shangcaicheng.

It can be said that after going through so many things, Han Yan'er is now the one who has the best relationship with Zhang Shihua in the Red Turban Army, so after seeing Han Yan'er coming, Zhang Shihua also said in a joking tone: "It turned out to be Han Zhaowu, and the last general will meet Han Zhaowu." Saying that, Zhang Shihua hugged his fists at Han Yan'er on the horse.

And Han Yan'er also smiled at Zhang Shihua's joke and said: "Brother Zhang, you are sarcastic about my old Han, what is Zhaowu or not, to be honest, I don't know what the hell is this Zhaowu general." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard Han Yan'er's words, he couldn't help laughing.

But Han Yan'er was not angry, but after Zhang Shihua finished laughing, he still smiled and said to Zhang Shihua: "Brother Zhang is good this time, with Brother Zhang's ability, it is estimated that following the marshal in this circle, he will definitely be able to make a lot of contributions." It's just a pity, Lao Han, I can't touch your light this time. (To be continued.) )
