After a night of silence, the next day was the next day in the blink of an eye. On this day, Kong Wei and the others couldn't help but get up early in the morning, wash and eat and prepare properly, so that after Zhang Shihua's summons, they could meet Zhang Shihua in the most calm posture.

However, although Kong Wei and they were ready early in the morning. But Zhang Shihua's side didn't send a hundred household officials until the afternoon to summon them to the marshal's mansion where Zhang Shihua was.

"Subordinate Kong Wei (Yang Shuo) pays a visit to Lord Pingzhang." Although he waited in vain for two or three hours, Kong Wei was still personable, and his face did not show any restlessness at all.

Therefore, seeing that he had such a bearing, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod in praise. So after waving their hands and asking them to get up without courtesy, they couldn't help but look at him and said, "I thought about yesterday's events for a morning, and now I can give you an answer." ”

"......" Suddenly hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the expression on Kong Wei's face couldn't help but change imperceptibly. The eyebrows were raised suddenly, and a pair of eyes couldn't help but subconsciously look at Zhang Shihua.

"Marshal Liu, he has the grace of supporting me, and now that there is something to do, I should do my duty. However, you also know that although I occupy the land of Xiangjing, the west, north, and south are all surrounded by tigers and wolves. So although I have a heart, I am also powerless! Zhang Shihua sighed. Then a pair of eyes couldn't help but secretly glance at Kong Wei and them under the hall.

Kong Wei's face was disappointed, but Yang Shuo's expression was indifferent. Hmph, I don't believe it, Yang Shuo's city can be deeper than Kong Wei. Come to think of it, as Ziyu said, Kong Wei and even Liu Futong didn't expect me to send reinforcements from the beginning.

Below, after glancing at the expressions of Kong Wei and the others, Zhang Shihua thought secretly in his heart. In contact with Kong Wei's words and deeds yesterday, he also vaguely understood Kong Wei's purpose for coming here.

But although he understands it in his heart, Zhang Shihua is not obvious on the face. So after seeing Kong Wei pretending to be lost, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but continue to speak: "But, although I can't send troops. But at this time, I naturally won't sit idly by and be a villain.

In this way, this time I am going to give Marshal Liu a thousand collars to help the marshal fight the Tartar. What does Kong Jun think? ”

Although I knew in my heart that yesterday, Kong Wei's actions were actually for the sake of wanting to get away with it. But when it comes to yesterday's sake, Zhang Shihua naturally can't be as hairless as an iron rooster. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but offer such a price code, and also wanted to see how Kong Wei would react.

"Plate Armor Thousand Collars" suddenly heard Zhang Shihua's words, but Kong Wei couldn't help frowning subconsciously.

You must know that he promised Liu Futong that he could get 2,000 pieces of plate armor from Zhang Shihua's side. Now the plate armor is thousand-collared, but it is half the difference. So Kong Wei rolled his eyes, and after Zhang Shihua's words fell, he couldn't help crying and said: "My marshal, the situation is very critical at this time.

Thousand-collar plate armor, but it is not enough. Lord Pingzhang is loyal and righteous, and please lend a helping hand! Saying this, Kong Wei couldn't help but kneel on the ground. The expression also changed instantly, and this time I couldn't help but look pitiful.

I have to say that in this way, Zhang Shihua didn't take out more things, and it didn't look good.

Therefore, after Kong Wei knelt down, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but sigh and waved his hand to let him get up again.

He didn't ask me to send troops, but he asked me to 'lend a hand.'" Obviously, he didn't expect me to send troops, but I only brought a thousand collar plates, but it was difficult to satisfy their appetites, and even less to help them turn the tide of their own disadvantage.

After letting Kong Wei stand up from the ground again, Zhang Shihua looked at him and thought secretly in his heart. In the end, he couldn't help but fall silent.

"......" silence, a long silence. Silence is often more frightening and depressing than words. So when Zhang Shihua fell silent, Kong Wei in the hall couldn't help but be worried. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little bottomless in his heart.

"So, Kong Jun, what do you think I can do to help Marshal Liu?" After being silent for a long time, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Kong Wei under the hall, and finally couldn't help asking.

"I, my subordinates thought ...... If Lord Pingzhang can support 3,000 collars of plate armor and 1,000 crossbows of divine arms, it will definitely be enough. Hearing Zhang Shihua ask him, Kong Wei originally thought about reporting the two thousand collar plate armor to Zhang Shihua. But after saying it, I can't help but exaggerate a lot.

After all, in this case, even if he bargains with Zhang Shihua, he will probably be able to achieve his goal.

Kong Wei thought so secretly in his heart. But there was still nothing unusual on his face.

However, at this time, when his words fell, he didn't notice it, but Yang Shuo beside him suddenly widened his eyes. unconsciously revealed some flaws to this Zhang Shihua.

Oh, yes. Yesterday I thought that this Kong Wei was a sincere person, but today, this guy is also a cunning old fox!

Because Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, had been secretly paying attention to Kong Wei and Yang Shuo. So when Yang Shuo unconsciously showed a flaw on his face, Zhang Shihua noticed it for the first time.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua understood in the next moment. Kong Wei exaggerated their needs a lot.

After all, 3,000 collar plate armor plus 1,000 divine arm crossbows. If all these things are given to Liu Futong, Liu Futong will be able to arm an elite army of 10,000 people with these things.

So after Kong Wei's words fell, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but laugh "hehe".

"Three thousand collar plate armor, one thousand divine arm crossbows. Kong Jun is not joking. Zhang Shihua said this, although there was a smile on his face, but his eyes were very cold. Obviously, Kong Wei's behavior really disgusted Zhang Shihua.

"Subordinate, subordinate......" Under the hall, when Kong Wei was swept away by Zhang Shihua's cold gaze. The momentum of nearly 100,000 soldiers with armor under his command was revealed. Kong Wei couldn't help but feel like his hairs stood up, like falling into an ice cave.

So in the face of Zhang Shihua's gaze, he often boasted of his ability to speak, but he couldn't speak at this time.

"Three thousand collar plate armor and a thousand divine arm crossbows, I can't take out so many. Well, I'm squeezing out a thousand more collar plates. A total of 2,000 collar plate armor was taken out to support Marshal Liu, how? In the end, Zhang Shihua still took out an extra thousand collar plate armor.

But the reason for this result has little to do with Kong Wei's eloquence.

More because Zhang Shihua has a soul from the afterlife in his body. So Zhang Shihua knows what kind of character Li Chahan is now in the army and Shenqiu. Therefore, Zhang Shihua was actually worried that Liu Futong would be eliminated by Li Chahan and Badulu.

Because when Liu Futong is finished, the next target that Li Chahan and Badulu will destroy will definitely be themselves.

So in this way, it is reasonable for Zhang Shihua to support Liu Futong. Of course, in this process, Kong Wei's words also played a little role. But it's not very important.

But at this time, Kong Wei didn't care about Zhang Shihua's reason at all. All he knew was that he had achieved his goal perfectly this time. With such a result, it is enough. Therefore, after Zhang Shihua's voice fell, Kong Wei couldn't help but be full of joy and knelt down to thank Zhang Shihua.

"Lord Pingzhang Gaoyi, my subordinate is the marshal of my family, thank you Lord Pingzhang!" Kong Wei shouted in a bow. This time, the expression on his face was real.

……

It was another half an hour, and Kong Wei, who had achieved his goal, couldn't help but prepare to leave. But at this time, looking at Yang Shuo, who was preparing to leave, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but stop him.

"Yang Gong, stay here." This time, Zhang Shihua used an honorific title. "Mei'er, she wants to gradually you." Zhang Shihua, who was expressionless, said straight to the point.

And in the hall, Yang Shuo suddenly heard Zhang Shihua's words. He couldn't help but stop his steps, paused, and then nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Kong Weihe rolled his eyes, and after bowing to Zhang Shihua again, he couldn't help but leave the hall alone, turned around and left.

……

Yang Shuo saw his daughter, but what the father and daughter said, Zhang Shihua didn't know.

But after thinking about it, Yang Shuo's mood should be very complicated. After all, it can also be seen from Yang Shuo's official position that Yang Shuo should not be taken seriously by Liu Futong. Although the official position of the Department of Agriculture and Agricultural Administration is still somewhat authoritative in peacetime. But in this troubled world, especially on Liu Futong's side, it is obviously an idle job.

However, Zhang Shihua didn't care about what Yang Shuo thought in his heart.

Because the next day, that is, on the twelfth day of February, Kong Wei and the others left Xiangyang City together with the black-clothed sergeants who escorted dozens of truckloads of armaments and supplies.

……

Ten days later, on the 22nd of February. After a long journey, Kong Wei and the others finally returned to Ruyang Mansion City with dozens of cars loaded and two thousand collar plates.

Then, after returning to the city of Ruyang. Kong Wei couldn't help but temporarily take over the Red Turban Army troops that were cowering in Ruyang Mansion City, and selected 2,000 elite black-clothed soldiers from them, trained them, and equipped everyone with plate armor.

In this way, Kong Weita couldn't help but integrate the soldiers and horses that had always been elite.

Then, in order to encourage the morale of these people, Kong Wei couldn't help but promise them a lot of benefits before the war, and drew a lot of pies. Let this elite heart have the desire to fight and fight.

After that, Kong Weita naturally led these soldiers and horses in person and took the initiative to attack Chakhan Timur.

Perhaps it was to suppress the arrogance of Chakhan Timur and break the myth of their invincibility. Therefore, after integrating such an elite army, Kong Wei couldn't help but personally lead this force and attacked the county town of Luoshan, where Chakhan Timur was in the rebel army.

I also have to say that plate armor is really worthy of being a cross-era weapon now.

With 2,000 elite plate armor soldiers, Kong Wei easily captured the county seat of Luoshan at the end of March. In one fell swoop, he defeated nearly a thousand gourd rebels in the city, and later recaptured the entire Xinyang Prefecture in one fell swoop.

Therefore, at this time, Kong Weita also became the head of Runing Mansion and controlled the military power of the entire Runing Mansion.

But these are all for later. At this time, let's just say that Kong Wei and they left Xiangyang City three days later. On February 15, the 14th year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shihua's eldest son Zhang Xi also happened to be one year old and began to "expect".

"Period", in fact, is to grasp the week. However, before the Qing Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty was called Qi Yang. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Qi Yang was called by the people to catch Zhou.

Anyway, according to the literature, this custom can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the earliest. Therefore, in the Yuan Dynasty, this custom could not help but become a very important custom of the Han people. From high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, they will let their children catch the week when they just turn one year old, that is, when they celebrate their first birthday.

On this day, the big households who pay more attention to it will also put seals, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoist scriptures, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, and toys on their beds before the longevity noodles are eaten at noon; If the girl "catches Zhou'er", she should also add shovels, spoons (cooking utensils), scissors, rulers (sewing utensils), embroidery threads, patterns (embroidery utensils) and other things.

At that point, wait until the items are ready. The adults will then bring the child to him and make him sit upright, without any inducement, and let him choose, depending on what he catches first and what he catches later. In this way, they can gauge their interests, their future and the career they will be engaged in.

Therefore, in such a situation, grasping Zhou is naturally endowed with superstitious colors by the Chinese people.

So much so that Cao Bin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, caught Zhou when he was full of Zhou, held a gange with his left hand, grabbed a bean with his right hand, and took a seal after a while, all of which were recorded in detail by historians in the official history of Cao Bin.

So from this point of view, the child's childhood grasping has also become a thing worth showing off to the elders.

Anyway, Zhang Shihua's father, Zhang Liewu, once showed off to outsiders for a long time with the deeds of Zhang Shihua holding a pen and inkstone when he was full of Zhou. But until now, Zhang Shihua can't even memorize the Analects.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua's parents are very concerned about catching Zhou. But Zhang Shihua just regarded this as an interesting thing.

After all, with an object randomly grabbed by a child who has just turned one year old, to determine his future interests, future and future occupation, this immortal can't do it!
