Chapter 179: Zhao Ziyu
Zhang Shihui's words of his eldest brother are still fresh in his memory. www.biquge.info Because from childhood to adulthood, no matter what it is, his eldest brother has never missed it, so Zhang Shihui firmly believes that the Yuanmeng Imperial Court will definitely send troops to the south in the near future, and the commander of the troops going south will definitely be the younger brother of Tokto.
But what he didn't expect was that he would hear the same words from a small catcher today. You must know that even Li Chongsan and his father and uncle may not say such words.
Therefore, after hearing this young catcher say such a thing, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but look at him with a serious face and asked him: "Brother Gaojian, I have been taught below." I still don't know my brother's surname? ”
Hearing Zhang Shihui say this, he didn't realize anything about this catch, but the guards who were with Zhang Shihui couldn't help but widen their eyes. Because they never thought that a person as arrogant as their own general could be so polite to a small catcher.
Of course, at this time, let's not talk about this kind of thought in the hearts of these pro-guards, just talk about the present. When the catcher heard Zhang Shihui's name, he couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihui with a smile: "The general is serious, and your surname is Zhao Mingziyu." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Ziyu, I, Zhang Shihui, have met Brother Ziyu." Hearing Zhao Ziyu say this, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but clench his fists and say like this.
And when Zhao Ziyu saw Zhang Shihui like this, he naturally inevitably gave another courtesy. And after the two sides were almost familiar with each other, Zhang Shihui said that he wanted to invite Zhao Ziyu to drink.
In the face of Zhang Shihui's enthusiastic request, Zhao Ziyu, who is a fast catcher, is naturally difficult to refuse, so the two sides will drink until midnight today.
I have to say that Corporal Lixian will do such a thing, Zhang Shihui will indeed do it. This is not in the face of a really capable person like Zhao Ziyu, Zhang Shihui did a good job. During the time he spent with Zhao Ziyu, Zhang Shihui did not put on a show at all.
Therefore, in the face of such an approachable red scarf general, Zhao Ziyu also felt that Zhang Shihui was a good person.
However, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Ziyu and couldn't help but say what he really thought, "Brother Zhao, to be honest, with your ability, it is really too condescending to be a small catcher in the county government." ”
"There is still a lack of a staff officer in my army. If Brother Zhao doesn't dislike it, Brother Zhao is willing to join our army and serve me Zhang Shihui? ”
Hearing Zhang Shihui say this, Zhao Ziyu, who was drinking, couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihui with a sincere face and said: "Since the general looks down on him like this, he dares to disobey his orders." ”
Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, with Brother Zhao's words, I, Zhang Shihui, am relieved." After saying this, Zhang Shihui turned to look at the other generals beside him, and raised his glass and said loudly: "Brothers, come here, and I will give our brother Zhao a glass." ”
Hearing Zhang Shihui say this, the other people at the wine table naturally raised their wine glasses one after another and toasted Zhao Ziyu.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziyu naturally picked up the wine in the cup, and raised his glass to Zhang Shihui and others to drink it all.
……
It was almost half an hour, and the banquet was finally over. And after the banquet ended, Zhang Shihui, who was satisfied, couldn't help but say to Zhao Ziyu with a big tongue: "Come on, come on, Brother Ziyu, this will ...... Ben will send you brother in the future...... You go home. ”
Hearing Zhang Shihui's words, Zhao Ziyu naturally resigned again and again, but Zhang Shihui insisted on this guy, and Zhao Ziyu couldn't refuse, so he naturally agreed.
Seeing that Zhao Ziyu agreed, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but hug Zhao Ziyu, and the two rushed towards Zhao Ziyu's door with their shoulders on their backs.
Zhao Ziyu's home is not far from the place where the two of them were drinking, and the two walked for about ten minutes before they walked to the door of Zhao Ziyu's house.
And looking at Zhao Ziyu's door, you can know that obviously Zhao Ziyu is not a high-ranking family, but this is not strange, because if Zhao Ziyu is really a high-ranking son, it is estimated that he will die a long time ago, and it is impossible to see Zhang Shihui again.
Of course, let's not talk about this for now. After Zhao Ziyu returned home, Zhao Ziyu, who was drunk, naturally knocked the door outside the house.
Perhaps because Zhao Ziyu was drunk, Zhao Ziyu's knock on the door was loud. Therefore, after a moment's effort, I heard a female voice shouting from the courtyard: "Come, come, don't knock." It's so late, is it big brother? ”
Outside the gate of Zhao's house, Zhao Ziyu, who was hooking up with Zhang Shihui, heard this, and when he was drunk, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Waste...... Nonsense, it's all this point, no...... It's not your big brother and me, who else can there be, sister...... Sister, open the door and let me in. ”
Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, the woman in the courtyard immediately opened the door, but after the woman opened the gate, she suddenly saw so many people standing outside the gate, and there was an unusually well-dressed bearded man hooking up with his brother, but she couldn't help but be stunned.
So next, I saw that the woman couldn't help but look a little nervous and asked Zhao Ziyu, "Big brother, who are these people?" ”
However, hearing the girl's question, the drunk Zhao Ziyu didn't have time to answer anything, Zhang Shihui beside him couldn't help but look at the girl, and replied a little distractedly: "I am your brother's new friend, he is drunk, we are here to send him back." ”
However, at this time, Zhao Ziyu also interjected and said: "This is...... It's our Ye Xian's Red Turban Army General - General Zhang, Erniang hasn't seen General Zhang yet. ”
Hearing her eldest brother say this, this is why the girl named Zhao Erniang finally knows who the bearded man in front of her is who he is. Therefore, after she reacted, she couldn't help but hurriedly lowered her head, bent down slightly and said to Zhang Shihui: "The little girl has seen General Zhang, please say hello to General Zhang." ”
"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing Zhao Erniang like this, Zhang Shihui's wine seemed to have woken up a lot at once, and he didn't even stutter when he spoke.
However, after Zhang Shihui said this, he seemed to be stupid, just stood there and looked at the girl in a daze, and he didn't say anything else.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Erniang couldn't help but blush slightly, and couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, "This guy is really rude." ”
Thinking like this in her heart, this girl named Zhao Erniang couldn't help but bow her head and whisper to Zhang Shihui: "That, General Zhang, thank you for sending my eldest brother." It's not too early, so I won't keep you, and you can go back quickly. ”
"Oh, okay, I'll go back, I'll go back." Hearing Zhao Erniang's words, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but say so stupidly while letting go of Zhao Ziyu, who was holding him.
Seeing Zhang Shihui's stupid appearance, Zhao Erniang couldn't help but let out a chuckle. And when he heard the coquettish smile of the jade man in front of him, Zhang Shihui scratched his head with his hand, and the whole person couldn't help but be a little stupid. But when he reacted and wanted to say something, he found that the jade man had already helped Zhao Ziyu into the courtyard and closed the door.
Looking at the door that was only closed, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but sigh. Seeing this, a personal guard behind Zhang Shihui couldn't help but tease Zhang Shihui: "My lord, look at your lost soul, didn't you fancy the little lady just now." ”
"Go, go, you talk a lot, get out of here." Hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but blush, and said so.
However, when everyone saw him like this, they couldn't help but laugh again. However, this time, Zhang Shihui didn't pay attention to the laughter of his guards, just said "Zhao Erniang" in a daze, and then stupidly returned to the residence in the barracks with the people under his command.
……
More than half a month later, the time is still on September 20th. At this time, the momentum of the Red Turban Army's expedition in various parts of Jiangbei Province was already very fierce.
In Xuzhou, after conquering Xuzhou City, in just one month, Sesame Li has successively occupied Suzhou, Wuhe, Suining, Feng, Pei, and other large and small counties near Xuzhou, with a force of 100,000 troops.
And in Qizhou, Xu Shouhui, who revolted, also defeated the Weishun King Kuansa Buhua of the Yuanmeng court in one fell swoop a few days ago, and the soldiers under his command captured most of Qizhou in one fell swoop, and now his soldiers have even killed Qizhou and attacked the neighboring Huangzhou.
And even Sesame Li and Xu Shouhui are so powerful, not to mention Liu Futong, a heroic figure who indirectly destroyed the Yuan Dynasty.
After another month of development, Liu Futong's power has grown exponentially. Now, he has not only laid down the entire territory of Runing Mansion, but even most of the Anfeng Road in the west of Runing has been laid down by him. Just a few days ago, the army he led even hit Shouchun, the seat of Anfeng Road.
It seems that it won't be long before the entire Anfeng Road will fall into his hands. At that time, if you add Yuzhou under Zhang Shihua, Liu Futong's power will definitely be unparalleled in the rebel army.
But it was at this time that the Red Turban Army also knew the news that the Yuanmeng Imperial Court had sent a large army south. However, this time, the reaction of the Red Turban Army to the so-called counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was very flat.
After months of fighting and successive victories, the confidence of the current Red Turban Army has swelled to the extreme. After all, the Yuanmeng Imperial Court has fought dozens of battles with the Red Turban Army in the past few months, but what is the result? The Yuanmeng court has not won a battle and has not promised it.
Even their Son of Heaven guard, the Aso Army, was proven to be a bunch of wrecks. Therefore, the current Red Turban Army really can't find it, and the group of waste soldiers in the Yuanmeng Imperial Court have any reason to be afraid. Therefore, after receiving the news that the imperial court sent a large army to the south, Liu Futong himself did not care about the news at all, let alone have any idea of withdrawing troops from Anfeng.
Because it won't be long before Liu Futong can take Shouchun and the entire Anfeng in one fell swoop. In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to spit out the meat that has been eaten in his mouth because of a group of wrecks like the Yuanmeng Imperial Court.
Besides, judging from the footsteps and marching routes of the Yuanmeng court, an army of thieves going south, they should cross the Yellow River from the side of Bianliang Road in a few days. So when the time comes, the first people to come into contact with this army of thieves should be Zhang Shihua and Han Yan'er.
And these two people can be regarded as the top and one of the top generals in the Red Turban Army, so Liu Futong himself is not worried.
Anyway, in Liu Futong's mind, Zhang Shihua and Han Yan'er are not his direct subordinates. It would be a good thing for him that such a guy who existed like a warlord in the two Red Turban Army, if he was weakened by such an army of thieves in the Yuanmeng Imperial Court.
Under the circumstance that these left and right are not too harmful to himself, Liu Futong is naturally even more unlikely to give up the fat in front of him, which is about to be swallowed by him.
However, although Liu Futong is not worried at all, this army of thieves who are about to cross the Yellow River in the south is about to cross the Yellow River. However, because of the geographical location, Zhang Shihua, who happened to bear the brunt of the situation, had to be fully prepared.
In Fangcheng, Zhang Shihua had already gathered most of his men and horses here at this time.
Fang Cheng had a total army of 4,500 people at this time, which was already the maximum number of troops that Zhang Shihua could dispatch at this time. Although such a force does not sound as tens of thousands like Sesame Li and Liu Futong, it is a huge number of tens of thousands, which is scary.
But the 4,500 people under Zhang Shihua's command are all elites who can fight. Zhang Shihua did not dare to guarantee that they could defeat ten with one, but in the face of today's officers and soldiers and the Red Turban Army under the command of Liu Futong, Sesame Li and others, Zhang Shihua was 100% sure that he could defeat five with one.
You must know that most of these soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command have received more than two months of military training under Zhang Shihua, and all their military qualities and combat qualities are by no means comparable to those of Liu Futong, Sesame Li, and the peasants and ordinary people who were forcibly conscripted and coerced by officers and soldiers.
After all, all the soldiers under Zhang Shihua can now be familiar with the use of battle formations, and the elite soldiers under the command of Guo Yu, Zhao Jiu, Zhang Mingtong and others have reached a level of magic in the use of various battle formations.
Of course, let's not talk about this at this time, just talk about it now. Zhang Shihua gathered a large army in Fangcheng this time, naturally in order to attack Nanyang Mansion, seize the central seat of Nanyang Mansion, and eliminate his worries. After all, the army of thieves of the Yuanmeng court will arrive in Bianliang in ten days at most.
And once this army of thieves from the Yuanmeng court arrived at Bianliang Road, Zhang Shihua in Wuyang and Han Yan'er in Shangcai would naturally become the primary targets of this army of thieves.
