The sky washed by the rainstorm is clear and blue, but the road is muddy and difficult to walk.

Zhu Yousong sighed secretly, sure enough, there is no perfect thing. Although the air was clean in this era, there were no concrete roads.

Zhu Yousong took Yue Yingying outside Luoyang City and welcomed Yue Chenfeng and his party into the palace.

Zhou Shuye walked behind with Zhao Hong, and said jokingly: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of such elation, it seems that the prince did not choose the wrong person this time." ”

Zhao Hong also smiled helplessly, originally with his identity, walking on the road, he must be the closest to Zhu Yousong. But this group of people is very special, they see humility in their eyes very lightly, and they drag and squeeze one by one.

Ge Jiu laughed the most in the crowd, revealing his trademark bronze flesh, and the muscles on his arms looked terrifying. With a mouthful of white teeth, he shouted, "Uncle, you finally remembered us." I'm idle every day in Heishidu, and birds are hatching in the crotch of my pants, who are we going to clean up this time? ”

Yue Chenfeng knew that the rules of the palace were big, and his daughter was a princess, so he was afraid that the rudeness of his subordinates would affect Yingying's status in the palace. reprimanded: "Ge Jiu, which round of you will speak, give me some rules." ”

Zhu Yousong laughed and said, "It's okay, we are all our own brothers, as for who to clean up this time." Let's go to my palace first, and let's talk while eating. My chef here, it's not me boasting, you haven't eaten it in your life. ”

When she arrived at the palace, Yue Yingying had something on her mind, took her father's hand, and muttered in her ear, not knowing what to say.

Yue Chenfeng frowned and said, "It's okay, Yingying, you think too much." This kind of thing, come a few more times, and then you will have a chance. ”

Yue Yingying pouted, her face sullen.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Zhu Yousong spoke out about the current situation without reservation. He is really angry, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is really unlikeable.

Zhu Yousong has given up good opportunities several times for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and not to be exploited by dogs. But as long as Chongzhen seizes the opportunity, he will disgust himself. I sent troops to commit crimes for no reason before, but I didn't say anything. Now he has intensified, and he has no chance to create opportunities to harm himself.

What did he say about entering Beijing to give marriage, it is simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows. If he really entered Beijing stupidly and wanted to go back to Luoyang, it would be extremely difficult.

After listening to this, Yue Chenfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "So, when our Yue family army entered Shaanxi, it was to stir up the wind and rain?" ”

Wang Jun said with a smile: "That's not going back to business, we" gust of wind "was in Kaifeng back then, and the movement was much bigger than that of these Vajra Bodhisattva lynx beasts." ”

Zhu Yousong knew that he was talking about the leaders of the Shaanxi thieves, in order to prevent his relatives from being investigated by the imperial court, and obtained all kinds of strange nicknames. smiled and said softly: "Shaanxi has been in drought for three years, and the red land is thousands of miles. The expropriation is tyrannical, and the people are not able to make a living. The local generals and commanders are all ineffective, and there is only one civil official who was born in politics, Hong Chengchou. Now he is the governor of Yansui, this person still has two brushes to fight, you must be careful of him, don't underestimate the enemy. ”

Zhou Shuye chuckled and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the court is short of food and salary, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers is low, and the morale is sluggish. Even if Hong Chengchou has the ability to reach the sky thoroughly, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. ”

After discussing some details, Zhu Yousong took Yue Chenfeng and Yue Yingying to the backyard to see Princess Zou.

The princess knew that Yue Yingying's biological father was here, so she was very affectionate and chatted a few words about homely things. Yue Chenfeng didn't expect that the ladies of the Houmen Mansion were also so easy to talk to, and looking at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they were obviously very harmonious, and they were even happier in their hearts.

Zhu Yousong sat next to him, absent-minded, and kept looking at the red jade standing beside him.

The beauty deliberately put on a straight face, looked at an opportunity, rolled her eyes fiercely, and glanced at herself. Then seeing Zhu Yousong's tired expression, he covered his mouth again and snickered.

That kind of style of wanting to laugh made Zhu Yousong's index finger move in his heart. Thinking of the plump and soft that day, a trace of sinful thoughts in my heart are quietly sprouting again.

This long-standing peony flower, with the watering of a man, is even more charming. Even Princess Zou sometimes asked strangely, "Have you taken any elixir?" ”

After saying goodbye to the princess, the three of them walked to the outer palace of the palace. Yue Chenfeng took Zhu Yousong's hand and said, "Fuba, I heard that a person named Su Yue in your house is pregnant, congratulations." ”

Zhu Yousong said inexplicably: "Rejoice and rejoice, how does my father-in-law know." ”

Yue Chenfeng ignored Yue Yingying's strange expression and said, "Yingying just told me, and she also said that she was very envious that she was not pregnant. You see, I don't have to pick my Yingying's appearance, you accompany her more, and let me have a grandson to hug. ”

Yue Yingying stomped her feet and said, "Dad! What are you talking about! I'll ignore you both. After saying that, he turned around and covered his face and ran away.

Yue Chenfeng said disapprerovingly: "Look at it, it's obvious that she told me by herself, and now she's still ashamed." My own father-in-law, what's so embarrassing. ”

Zhu Yousong secretly said in his heart, let alone Yingying, even I am embarrassed. My father-in-law, the old man of Ma Lingshan, acted in a way that was too violent, which made people stunned.

Yue's army went to Ying'en Temple, rested for a while, and waited for the next arrangement.

In Ying'en Temple, the craftsmen are in full swing, and gunpowder projectiles, bows, crossbows, feather arrows, armor, knives and guns are continuously produced.

The carpenters gathered and built the siege weapons that Yang He's 100,000 army threw under the city overnight.

Tens of thousands of logistical soldiers stepped up to make easy-to-carry marching rations.

As the saying goes, when a cannon sounds, it costs a thousand taels. It's really not an exaggeration, war is always the most wasteful thing. Today's Luoyang, a thousand-year-old city that has been turned into a military town, has started preparing for war.

From Zhu Yousong downward, everyone is full of confidence.

Although in front of them is Tongguan!

Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, which has always been a place for soldiers to fight, bordering the Yellow River in the north and standing on the mountainside in the south. "Notes on the Book of Water" contains: "The river flows south of Tongjiguan Mountain in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan. "Struggle hard to grow a halberd, and use a husband for eternity. is talking about this danger, one husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened.

In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he commanded Jin Shima to increase and repair the city card to build the city wall "according to the mountain situation and twists and turns", and Tongguan was easier to defend and difficult to attack.

The Ming army stationed here is now under the personal command of Hong Chengchou. Zhu Yousong can already foresee that a vicious battle is inevitable.

"Father-in-law, our worst battle this time is probably the first battle. After the Tong Pass, there are no more difficult bones to gnaw. ”
