Chapter 161: Departure Again
I have to say that this Liu Futong really deserves to be a heroic figure, after Zhang Shihua showed his loyalty in front of the generals of the Red Turban Army, Liu Futong also immediately showed his attitude towards Zhang Shihua in front of the generals of the Red Turban Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"That is, I didn't mean anything about you Zhang Shihua when I asked you to go to Nanyang this time, but I was very relieved of you Zhang Shihua, and I did this just to reuse you. Don't you hear, I have even allowed your family to be with you, how can I not be at ease with you? ”
You must know that in this era, generals like Zhang Shihua who lead troops abroad, in order to prevent them from having two hearts, often their families will not stay with them. After all, during the period of the Red Turban Army, it was not too easy for a military general like Zhang Shihua to rebel.
Therefore, Liu Futong actually allowed Zhang Shihua to take his family to his side after going to Nanyang, and the attitude shown by Zhang Shihua can definitely be regarded as quite reassuring.
And Zhang Shihua was naturally extremely happy after hearing Liu Futong's words. After all, for Zhang Shihua, his family is his only concern in this world, and being able to bring his family to his side in the troubled times can be regarded as Zhang Shihua's worries.
Therefore, when Zhang Shihua heard Liu Futong's words, he did not twist his posture in the slightest, but directly bowed to Liu Futong with a moving face: "The last general Marshal Xie is so sympathetic, and the last general is willing to swear today that he will live up to the marshal's expectations." ”
"Good! With Bochang's words, my heart is at ease. Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Liu Futong said with a smile.
Although the people in the lobby didn't know what was really going on in their hearts at this time, at least it seemed that both of them were happy.
And after Liu Futong dealt with Zhang Shihua's matter, he naturally explained the next strategic plan of the Red Turban Army. This plan is naturally known to everyone, that is, in the future, the Red Turban Army will attack Gwangju and Xinyang Prefecture in Runing Province with the power of a great victory, so as to completely take the land of one prefecture and four prefectures in Runing Prefecture.
However, this matter obviously has little to do with the current Zhang Shihua, because in the future, Zhang Shihua will face the Tartar army of Nanyang Mansion alone, and Runing Mansion has little to do with Zhang Shihua.
……
Almost an hour later, the Red Turban Army's parliament ended. And after the parliament ended, Zhang Shihua also got up and left. However, just when Zhang Shihua left the lobby to ride his horse home, an old man in his fifties found him.
"Xiaguan Yang Shuo, I've seen General Zhang." This old man Yang Shuo, after walking in front of Zhang Shihua, said with a smile on his face.
"Yang Shuo, oh. This old guy is Yang Meier's father. Zhang Shihua looked at Yang Shuo, who had a long beard, wore an official uniform, and looked rich and noble, and couldn't help but think of it in his heart. Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua also returned a salute to Yang Shuo and greeted: "It turned out to be Yang Zhifu, and the general has also seen Yang Zhifu." ”
Zhang Shihua's words were very vivid, and he was not polite to him at all because of Yang Meier's relationship.
"Originally, Yang Meier was the daughter sent out by your old thing to please Liu Futong, although now Yang Meier is with her again, but that is also the beauty that Liu Futong rewarded herself, and she has a fart relationship with you Yang Shuo, an old guy who sells his daughter for glory."
"But don't say it, this old thing really bought my daughter for a good price. Although Liu Futong confiscated his daughter, Liu Futong accepted his heart. Yang Shuo, such a meritorious demote, not only kept his wealth, but was also promoted by Liu Futong to the prefect of Runing, which was really earned. ”
But the more this is the case, the more shameful Zhang Shihua is for Yang Shuo.
"You surrendered to the Red Turban Army, it can be said that in order to save the lives of your family members, after all, your family members are with you, which is understandable. But after your surrender, you still have to sell your daughter for glory, which is a bit too shameless. ”
However, at this time, Yang Shuo didn't seem to notice Zhang Shihua's dislike for him at all, and he was still smiling and talking to Zhang Shihua here. At the beginning, in politeness, Zhang Shihua maintained the most basic demeanor towards Yang Shuo, an old fox, but how did he know that Yang Shuo, an old thing, didn't want any face.
This guy is completely sunny and bright, and flooded if he is given a little flood, and he chatted with Zhang Shihua for almost half an hour. At this point, Zhang Shihua was completely impatient, so he couldn't help but say to Yang Shuo with a straight face: "Governor Yang, the general still has urgent military affairs to deal with, but I don't want Governor Yang to be so idle, if you have nothing to do, you will have to go home." ”
And after Yang Shuo heard Zhang Shihua's words, even though he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment. After all, he is older than Zhang Shihua's father, but now that he has been robbed by Zhang Shihua, he naturally can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, Zhang Shihua still underestimated Yang Shuo's thick-skinned nature. Because, even though Zhang Shihua said it so bluntly on his face, this guy still acted like a nobody, and after being embarrassed for a while, he said to Zhang Shihua with a smile: "Something is naturally wrong with old decay." ”
"This Mei'er is an old and decrepit little daughter. For her, the old decay can also be said to be very favored, and now she can serve by the side of a young hero like General Zhang, which can be regarded as her blessing. But Mei'er's girl is down, but her brother is a dog, and now he can only be idle at home, General Zhang, you see, can you arrange a position for the dog in your army for Mei'er's face? ”
"Shameless, it's shameless." Zhang Shihua looked at Yang Shuo's old face, and at this time, he almost wanted to punch him in the face.
"What is this Niang's, it's not enough for my daughter to sell it once, and I even want to sell it twice for your Niang." If it weren't for the fact that Yang Shuo was Liu Futong's person, Zhang Shihua would be like a knife to cut this shameless person now.
"What the hell is this Niang?" Scolding like this in his heart, Zhang Shihua also said to him with a cold face Yang Shuo: "The position in this general is full, so let your son choose another place." After saying this, Zhang Shihua no longer paid attention to Yang Shuo, turned around and got on the horse, and went back to the house with a group of personal guards.
However, after returning home, Zhang Shihua did not tell Yang Meier about the matter. After all, although he does not possess Yang Meier now, in his heart, Zhang Shihua already regards her as his own woman.
Although he said that he didn't have much feelings for Yang Meier's daughter, he just liked her beauty. However, Yang Meier has to become her own person after all, and Zhang Shihua doesn't want to make this poor little girl sad again.
But somehow, when he thought of Yang Meier, Zhang Shihua felt more and more guilty about his wife.
After all, Guo Weier is the woman she really loves at this time, although it is very common for men to have three wives and four concubines in this era, but the more this is the case, the more Zhang Shihua has a feeling of betraying the love of the two.
"Are you really a scumbag?" Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but shake his head and suppressed these messy thoughts.
"Hey, let's let Shihui and them come back from Xizhou to join me first." After suppressing those messy thoughts, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think like this in his heart.
……
In five days, Zhang Shihua stayed in Ruyang Mansion for five days. Five days later, when Zhang Shihua's cousin Zhang Shihui and Zhao Er, who were guarding the two cities of Xincai and Zhenyang, also led their soldiers to Ruyang Mansion City to join Zhang Shihua, Zhang Shihua also led this mighty army directly to Wuyang City, Nanyang Mansion.
Yes, Xizhou City is like this, and before it was hot, it was let out by Zhang Shihua.
However, Zhang Shihua is not without compensation this time, at least the Red Turban Army in the two counties of Wuyang City and Yecheng in Nanyang Mansion was waved by Liu Futong and became Zhang Shihua's root base. With these two counties and more than 4,000 soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command, Zhang Shihua is also full of confidence in his heart.
"The troubled times are rising, and the husband should show his merits. This time must be the time for me to show my merit and the world. Zhang Shihua, who was riding forward, looked at the road ahead and couldn't help but think like this in his heart.
Wuyang City is actually not far from Ruyang Mansion City, the straight-line distance is more than two hundred miles, if this distance is placed in the later generations, that is, two or three hours, it is nothing at all.
But this is not the afterlife after all, there are no highways, not even roads. Even the so-called official road is actually a slightly wider dirt road, and because of the decline of the national strength of the Great Yuan Dynasty in recent years, this so-called official road has long been in disrepair.
The dirt road with potholes is actually not easy to walk at all. Especially after the rain, it can be a disaster for those who are in a hurry.
But Zhang Shihua's luck was really so bad, when he led the army and rushed to Shangcai City at noon on the second day, this trickster God sent Zhang Shihua a heavy rain to see him off.
This rain is very heavy, and with such a heavy rain, it is impossible for Zhang Shihua to continue to hurry. Therefore, Zhang Shihua simply rested in Shangcai City for two days. Wait until the rain stops and the ground dries out before continuing on your way.
However, in the past two days, Zhang Shihua was not bored, after all, Shangcai City was Han Yan'er's territory. Although it is said that after Zhang Shihua and Luo Wensu had a conflict, Han Yan'er planned to fish in troubled waters to reap the benefits for herself. But no matter what, after all, he and Han Yan'er are people who have experienced the battle together, and the minimum friendship between them is still there.
Moreover, unlike the other people in the Red Turban Army, who were fighting vigorously on the road to the south at this time, Han Yan'er could be said to be quite idle at this time.
Because after Ruyang City was taken, Han Yan'er did not go south to fight, but after staying in Ruyang Mansion City for three days, he led his soldiers back to Shangcai City. After all, Shangcai's geographical location is extremely important, it is the north gate of the entire Runing Mansion, and not long ago, Han Yan'er led the army to defeat Xiangcheng at the south gate of Bianliang Road.
And these two cities are naturally extremely important to the current Red Turban Army, after all, the north of Runing Mansion is Bianliang Road, and Bianliang is the political center of this Jiangbei province, and the resident soldiers and horses of the entire Bianliang are almost seventy or eighty thousand.
Although it is said that these 70,000 or 80,000 officers and soldiers of the imperial court are now unable to go south because of the Bianliang River, there is such a group of officers and soldiers who are guarding the north of the Red Turban Army all day long, how can the Red Turban Army not be guarded.
Therefore, it can be said that it is impossible for Han Yan'er to leave Shangcai City in a short period of time. After all, without Han Yan'er, Liu Futong will really not be able to find a general who can not only make him hearty, but also weighty enough for a while, to guard Cai Chongzhen for him.
However, for this job, Han Yan'er, as a party, is actually not very satisfied. After all, this period is the golden age of the Red Turban Army's outward expansion.
Not to mention those guys who led their troops south to attack Gwangju and Xinyang Prefecture, even Liu Futong's brother Liu Liu, who was guarding Yingzhou according to Liu Futong's order, led his army eastward not long ago and took Anfeng City on Anfeng Road, not far east of Yingshang City, with a thunderous momentum.
It is necessary to explain here that Anfeng City on Anfeng Road is not the same as Bianliang City on Bianliang Road. Bianliang City, that is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is also the seat of Bianliang Road, is a famous city in the world, so the Yuan and Mongolian courts will take Bianliang as the name and name Bianliang Road.
But Anfeng City is different, Anfeng City is just a small city equivalent to Taihe Xian City, he is not the seat of Anfeng Road, the seat of Anfeng Road is Shouchun. The reason why the rulers of Yuan and Mongolia named Anfeng Road instead of Shouchun was a complete coincidence.
However, it is because in the twenty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the officials of Jiangbei Province wrote to Emperor Yuanmeng, saying that in Anfeng, there is an undeveloped wasteland, and if the soldiers are allowed to settle here, they can develop 10,000 acres of fertile land for the imperial court.
Therefore, Emperor Yuanmeng waved his hand and established an Anfeng Road in Shouchun.
However, when Zhang Shihua received this good news from Liu Liu in Ruyang City, he was indeed very concerned. Of course, Zhang Shihua and Liu Liu's merits have nothing to do with it, what makes Zhang Shihua really interested in is actually the next strategic move of the Red Turban Army.
Obviously, Liu Futong will undoubtedly turn his attention to the east after conquering Xizhou and Xinyang Prefecture in the south next. After all, Liu Liu is his own brother, and if Liu Liu attacked Anfeng City without Liu Futong's assignment, Zhang Shihua would not believe it if he could be killed.
But these are all for the time being, let's talk about it, let's talk about Han Yan'er's side. Because Han Yan'er had long known the reason why Zhang Shihua would pass through him, Han Yan'er did give Zhang Shihua and his party a high reception treatment.
Even during these two days, he personally accompanied Zhang Shihua. However, in this regard, Zhang Shihua only maintained the most basic politeness. After all, there has long been a gap in the hearts of the two sides, and it is no longer possible to be as close as before.
