Chapter 434: Go Home

At this time, Xu Wei realized that Yelu Ma Wu was most likely seeing through his intentions, so he stationed troops in Ganquan to watch the situation. In this way, it will be difficult to take over the state. Yan'an has already received reinforcements, no matter how many come, it is impossible for him to really fight Yan'an. Ma Wu obviously learned of this situation, so he dared to stop at Ganquan with confidence and boldness. He was waiting for the water to clear up, and then to take a closer look at what fish were under the water.

"Dashuai, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will ......," Li Guan said halfway through.

Xu Wei had to nod and admit frankly: "That's true, Ben Shuai underestimated Yelu Ma Wu." ”

"That's not what it means." Li Guan said.

Xu Wei looked directly at him, and the latter thought for a moment and said bluntly: "If the Ganquan Jin Army quickly returns to defense when our army attacks Dunzhou. It is certain that our army's plan to seize Juzhou will fail. But the lowly duty is worried about more than that, the lowly position is worried about the king. ”

Wang Yu was originally a defender of Taiyuan, at the beginning, the Jin army stormed, besieged, and lured to surrender, and tried all means, and it took more than half a year to defeat Taiyuan from his hands. After this battle, Wang Yu's name shook the east of the river. And was valued by the veteran generals of the Western Army, and served under his command and held important positions in the seed army. This person is indeed a good general, a capable general, and a capable general, and everyone has to admit that his ability is there. But this person's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, conceit, and the competitive spirit is more than others.

He was the first to return to his command, and this time he led the troops to stand alone, and he was very eager to make contributions. If, while he was attacking Juzhou with all his might, the Ganquan Jin army was killed, it was common sense that he should retreat immediately. After all, he only has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is impossible to seize the city and send reinforcements. But with Wang Yu's character, he may take a risk. Li Guan's worries are not unreasonable.

Xu Wei naturally understands this, and when he uses this person, he will consider his strengths and weaknesses, and try to promote his strengths and avoid weaknesses. Using him as a positive is to promote his strengths, and taking Zhang Qing as his deputy is to avoid his weaknesses. Therefore, when Li Guan took this worry, he didn't care, and only said: "Wang Zhengchen is a person who understands, and he knows what to do." ”

When Li Guan heard this, he stopped talking. Xu Wei stood in place for a long time, shook his head, and sighed: "If this matter is successful, the recovery of Shaanxi will be at least two or three years ahead of schedule. Wait two more days and put on a show. It was hard to hide the trace of regret in his tone.

On September 13, the tide of battle turned in favor of the Jurchens. Wang Yu took out the ability to press the bottom of the box under the city of Yanzhou, and commanded the troops to attack the city with all their might. On the day of the war, he broke through the two urn cities in Yanzhou with the help of firearms. However, the Jin army defending the city fought back to the death, and Ma Wu operated successfully in Dunzhou, although the Song army attacked fiercely, but after two days, several times into the city gate were blocked back.

On the 13th, Yelu Ma, who received the emergency news from Juzhou, was happy. I always felt that Zijin Tiger didn't mean to drink this time, and it was so late to report to Yan'an, so he immediately led his troops back to Yanzhou for reinforcements. At this time, when the Song and Jin armies were deadlocked, Wang Yu was eager to make meritorious contributions, and his eyes were about to redden. When he heard that there was a Jin army coming to reinforce him, although he guessed that it might be that the Jin army of Dunzhou did not go far, this was a back and forth defense. However, he believed that the Song army was attacking fiercely, and at this level, it would be able to make significant progress in a little more than a day.

Therefore, he decided to let Zhang Xian lead the army to block the Jin army's reinforcements, no matter how much it cost, to drag the other party. But at this time, Zhang Qing, who accompanied Wang Yu, strongly opposed it. He believes that since the Jin army has returned to defense, there is little point in attacking the city again. Even if you take down the city of Juzhou, so what? Most of Shuaisi's troops are here, do you want to wait for the other party to attack the city again, or do you want to watch the other party attack Fangyao and Liangzhou, or Chang'an City?

The two had a fierce dispute, and Wang Yu even said that he was the main general, and he was responsible for all the consequences. But soon he realized that Zhang Qing, Wu Luan and other commanders also had the same opinion as Zhang Qing, and they all opposed his idea, believing that this would trap the troops in Dunzhou. The commanders under his command all said so, and Wang Yu had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

Born in the autumn of the third year of Longxing, the Shaanxi Campaign ended in a draw between the Song and Jin armies. The Jin army Han Changbu invaded Huanqing, in vain. The Song army and Xu Weibu wanted to try to win to Juzhou, but they also returned in vain. After the end of the battle, Xu Wei withdrew to the front line of Chang'an, and the Song and Jin armies returned to the pre-war military demarcation line.

Lou Su was in a false alarm, and he didn't dare to think about it for a while, and he didn't mention Ma Wu's disobedience and delay several times. But there is one thing that he can't avoid no matter what, that is, the defeat of the living female soldiers in Huazhou and the heavy losses, especially the annihilation of the Tiefu Tu, which is really heart-wrenching. In the report to the Jin court, Lou Su did not hide it, but emphasized that the Song and Jin armies fought a defeat in Huazhou.

When the news reached the Jin Kingdom, Mu Han, who was in charge of the military, was busy dealing with the Wushu seizure of power, and he had no time to take care of Shaanxi. Instruct Lou Su to say that there is no need to launch a major offensive for the time being, hold on to Yanyan, and wait for orders.

After Xu Wei returned to Chang'an, he also truthfully reported the battle situation to the Xuanfu Disposal Division. Xu Shao didn't feel sorry for it, Zhenjiang Xing's instructions to Shaanxi were to launch a retaliatory offensive to warn the Jin people of their practice of changing surnames in Lianghe. Xu Wei defeated the living girl in Huazhou, and the soldiers reached the bank of the Yellow River all the way, which was enough to hand over to Zhenjiang. In his vision, recovering the entire territory of Shaanxi is not something that can be done in a year and a half. I didn't have much expectations, so I didn't care about being disappointed. On the contrary, it was Xu Wei who went out on the expedition this time, suffered heavy losses, and killed several middle and senior generals, Xu Shao knew that it was not easy for him, and repeatedly comforted him in the official letter. He also informed him that he would go to Qinzhou at the end of September, and the Xuanfu Disposal Division would convene all the commanders and guards to discuss important matters.

After Xu Wei returned to Chang'an City, the first thing he did was, of course, to lead the civil and military officials to Mafu to mourn and visit Ma Tai's family. After Ma Tai's body was escorted back to Chang'an, it was temporarily buried in the northwest suburbs of Chang'an City. According to the usual practice, Xu Shao ordered the government to pull out the funeral expenses, and sent Xu Liang to pay tribute in person on his behalf. At the same time, Shangsheng Zhenjiang was there, expressing Ma Tai's merits, and asking for a posthumous gift, all of which went without saying.

"Brother Jiu, I'll send you back?" Coming out of Mafu, Xu Wei and Yang Yan were in a very low mood. Ma Er's father was originally a blacksmith in the army, and after Ma Tai married a wife and had children, he was also happy to be idle and teased his grandson at home. Just now Xu Wei led the civil and military officials of the Shuai Division to mourn, and the father of the horse seemed to have cried dry tears, but he just shook his head and sighed. The mother of the horse was sick in bed because of excessive grief. When he was about to go out, Ma's father also pulled Xu Wei, Yang Yan, and Zhang Qing and the three of them, saying that you four brothers were fighting together when they were young, and Ma Tai is now gone, if you are free, come and see. Hearing this, the three brothers almost burst into tears.

"No need, your newlywed Yan'er will go on the expedition, so let's go back quickly. In the past few days, I have been resting at home and recuperating from the wounds on my body. Xu Wei said.

Yang Yan responded, turned the horse's head and was about to leave, Xu Wei said behind his back: "By the way, when I see your father, say hello for me." I'll visit you another day. ”

After seeing him leave, most of the officials took their leave. Only Xu Wei and Zhang Qing were left behind, and they walked in a saddle. When Ma Tai was killed, Zhang Qing was in Fangzhou, and when he learned of the bad news, he was also burned inside. I just saw the orphans and widows of the Ma family, which is really sad. Although the imperial court has a complete pension system for the widows and orphans of the martyrs. It is enough to ensure that Mattei's parents, wife and children can live without food and clothing, but that is only material.

"Mattei's mother-in-law is still young, and it is inevitable to remarry, and his father and mother will have to pull his baby in the future." Zhang Qing sighed.

Xu Wei also looked gloomy, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, with you and me as uncles, they won't suffer." If his mother-in-law remarries, the child will naturally be raised by his grandparents. If they have something, who of you and I can't raise it? ”

"Well, my family hasn't given birth yet, and if it really comes to that job, it's a big deal to be my son." Zhang Qing also said.

"You and I have to worry too far, but at that time, Yang Yan is only afraid that he will be faster than you and me." Xu Wei smiled bitterly.

Zhang Qing also showed a smile, the two horses arrived at the fork in the road, and when they were about to part ways, Xu Wei suddenly said: "Zhang San, although it is useless to fight Yanzhou this time, it is also a loss to you, so that there will be no loss, hard work." ”

Zhang Qinggong arched his hand and said: "The responsibility lies." After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and added, "There is something I want to remind the marshal, this time in Dunzhou, I have a little unhappiness with Wang Yu." It's just others, but Wang Yu's personality is also clear. ”

"I know what to do, let's go back." Xu Wei nodded.

Zhang Qing hugged his fist and beat the horse away. Xu Wei let out a long sigh of relief, looked back at the Ma Mansion again, and sighed in his heart, only then did he urge the war horse to go to his mansion unhurriedly.

He is a well-known and well-known figure in Chang'an City, and someone greeted him along the way. Xu Wei's heart is like an arrow, he hasn't seen September for some days, how can he not want to?

When he arrived at the door of the house and reined in the war horse, Xu Wei suddenly got a little close to his hometown. He forgot to go down on the horse's back, but the old man who was the gatekeeper saw him return and came up with joy to take the reins for him, and woke him up.

Jumping off the horse, Xu Wei was dressed in a military uniform and stepped into the house unwashed. The old servant's previous shout had already alarmed the people in the house, and the news had already spread by this time.

The girls and mothers all came out to greet them, Xu Wei was a little shaken, when did I have so many people in my family? I remember when Hu Maochang gave me a house, there were three rings, a house, a groom, and two cooks. Where did all these people come from?

Those subordinates also seemed to be very strange to him, and they only knew how to stand by the roadside, and they didn't dare to raise their heads. The bold glanced at him, and saw that he was wearing armor, carrying a knife at his waist, and looking fierce, and he was so shocked that he bowed his head and said nothing.

A burst of women's shrill laughter came from inside, and Xu Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard it. Sure enough, before the laughter stopped, a woman had already run over from the flower hall, snorting as she walked. The year has passed early, but she is a, and her charm still exists, and between her gestures, there is a style of women who do not let her eyebrows go. It is Xu Wei's own sister, Xu Xiuping.

"What am I talking about? My younger sibling said that she sneezed as soon as she got up, and I said that there was a chance that the ninth child was coming back, and sure enough, right? Xu Xiuping rolled up to her younger brother like a gust of wind, took the helmet he was holding in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Just now, he was laughing and trembling, and when he saw this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said distressedly: "Brother, have you eaten three meals a day?" How did you get so thin and thin? ”

Xu Wei was helpless against this sister, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, marching and fighting is not as good as at home, if you have a stutter, you can eat, and if you can't catch up, you can hold on, it's like this." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiuping seemed to remember something, searched around, and said sharply: "Hey, son, what about people?" Aren't you talking about your uncle all day long? Your uncle is back, why don't you come and kowtow soon? ”

Xu Wei saw that his nephew Fan Yi was hiding at the threshold of the flower hall, only showing half of his face to look at him, looking a little afraid. As soon as Xu Wei saw him, he had a smile on his face, and opened his hands and called, "Come, uncle hug"

Somehow, the boy didn't seem to know him anymore, and he bit his fingers and didn't dare to come closer. Xu Wei is depressed, because he has no children, so he loves this nephew very much, why is he so virtuous today? I don't eat people

"Hey, I think you're wearing armor and carrying equipment, and the kid is scared. Come, son, don't be afraid, this is my uncle, I love you the most. Xu Xiuping explained while calling her son.

Finally, under Xu Wei's unremitting efforts to coax, Fan Yi slowly crossed the threshold. Xu Wei picked him up, kissed and kissed, and the stubble made the child scream.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, I like children so much, I don't know how to give birth to one?" When Xu Xiuping said this, her eyes kept looking in. Xu Wei looked over and finally saw someone who thought about it in the morning and thought about it in the evening.

She never had the flying spirit of a woman, and she never showed people in brocade clothes. still wears a plain dress, neatly tied, with no powder on the face, and a plain face. But even so, she stopped there and profoundly explained what it means to be atmospheric and what is decent.

Xu Wei has been married to her for a few years, but at this time, he doesn't know what to say, so he just looks at her and laughs. And September seemed to be so happy that he didn't know what to say, staring at the person who was thinking about it with a pair of phoenix eyes, his face was both surprise and surprise.

Xu Xiuping took her son, looked at the appearance of her younger brothers and sisters, who were from the past, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to look big and small, if you have anything to say back to the room, I won't bother." Xiao Jiu, see which day you are free, come and gather. ”

She was leaving, but Xu Wei and the others were in a hurry, and Zhang Jiujiu immediately said, "Sister, where are you talking about?" The official has just returned, and tonight is a reunion, so I have to invite my brother-in-law as well. ”

Xu Wei also persuaded: "What the lady said is, sister, you are not allowed to leave, I will send someone to invite my brother-in-law to come." In the evening, Haosheng accompanied him for a few drinks. Although his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law were not very happy at the beginning, after all, they are a family, and everything depends on their sister's face. Let the past pass.

"What do you mean by that? When the dignified Xu Dashuai returns from the expedition, he should accompany you. That's it, you're just coming back, and you haven't seen each other for a few days, so let's talk. I'm fine, I'll go back and come back with your brother-in-law in the evening, okay?" Xu Xiuping laughed.

"That's great, you don't have to wait until the evening, sister, go and come back quickly." Xu Wei said with a smile.

Xu Xiuping wanted to tease him a few more words, but when she thought of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, she stopped making noise. After agreeing, he said mysteriously: "Brother, I have a happy event to tell you in September." After finishing speaking, he led his son out of Xu's mansion.

After seeing her sister leave, September turned her head, and when she touched her husband's gaze, her heart was sweet for no reason, and her hand involuntarily touched her lower abdomen, revealing a happy smile. It's also strange that Xu Wei is inexperienced, he didn't notice anything, and he stepped forward to take the lady's hand affectionately, held it tightly, and whispered: "Lady, I'm back." ”

Zhang Jiujiu held her husband's face with both hands, felt the stubble that pierced her hands, and said distressedly: "How do you lose weight like this?" The complexion is not good, why are the eyes red? Didn't sleep well? Have you eaten? Still eat or wash first? ”

Xu Wei's gaze, the moment he saw her, no longer had the prestige of the commander of the army, and it was all replaced by tenderness. Grabbed her hand, held it in the palm of her hand, brought it to her mouth and kissed it gently......

In the bedroom, a yellow bucket was filled with hot blood and curled with mist. Zhang Jiujiu reached into the bucket with one hand to test the temperature of the water, and the other hand kept adding cold water to it. Xu Wei took off his armor in front of the bed, and took off the clothes that smelled so bad that he could smoke himself, and when he looked at the collar and cuffs, he could actually reflect the light

He threw his clothes away, walked naked and stepped straight into the bucket. The water at the right temperature stretches all the pores of the body, and the tiredness of the expedition is swept away at this time. Xu Wei buried his head in the water, held it for a while, and then came out, exhaled hard, and said loudly: "Happy"

Zhang Jiujiu looked at her husband with a smile on her face, picked up a piece of melon cloth, and gently rubbed his back for him. The person who thought about it early and late was suddenly in front of her, this was a real thing, but she felt a little dizzy, and she didn't know if it was true or not. But when my fingers touched his skin and felt the warmth, it was clearly so real.

Xu Weifu was on the bathtub, enjoying it comfortably. When I was out with my troops, I was full of thoughts about fighting, and I didn't think anything about it. But when I really got home, I realized that my home was so good. Home is not just about warm bath water, delicious meals, missing wife, but more importantly, it is an atmosphere. A kind of atmosphere where there is no Jin Ge Iron Horse, no life and death fighting, no intrigue and deceit, people take off all their defenses and are completely relaxed. Of course, you can also call this atmosphere happiness.

"Come on." Xu Wei turned sideways and stared at the lady with hot eyes.

September pursed his lips and smiled: "It's inconvenient." ”

Xu Wei suddenly became a little anxious, if he was not mistaken, he came back from the last expedition, and he also encountered this incident

"Not that coincidental, right? Inconvenient? Xu Wei's eyes widened.

Zhang Jiuxiang tried his best to hold back a laugh and pointed to his stomach. Xu Wei stared at the stomach for a long time, and said in his heart, What did you eat at noon today? Why do you eat so much? No wonder I think you've gained a bit weight this time.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Zhang Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh, and said more clearly: "It's not that it's convenient for me, it's that it's inconvenient for him." ”

The shock on Xu Wei's face was indescribable, he stared at his wife for a long time, and his lips moved several times without speaking. After a long time, Fang Cai asked very solemnly, "Really?" ”
