Chapter 83: Divergent Paths (II)

"This?" Zhang Shicheng and all the civil and military officers under his command were stunned, and their faces slowly began to turn red. Especially Li Bosheng, Lu Zhen and other generals who had a lot of contacts with Wang Kerou before, they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground immediately.

It's a shame, it's a shame. On his side, he was still quietly planning before, how to set up a grand banquet and annex other people's teams and territories. Who would have thought that Wang Kerou took the initiative to send the site to the door? … Compared with the two, it is clear who is a gentleman and who is a villain.

"This time the troops were sent in a hurry, and a lot of things were not prepared on the other side of the nest. In case we are taken advantage of by thieves, we will be in a dilemma..."Wang Kerou didn't know about the dispute that had just happened within the Changzhou army, and seeing that Zhang Shicheng was reluctant to respond, he thought that this person was seeing him, so he smiled and continued to add, "So, since the original purpose has been achieved, junior brother, I am ready to return to Zhenjiang." On the one hand, according to the experience gained on the battlefield recently, the soldiers and horses under his hands should be put in order. On the other hand, it can also look behind you for your brother, so that you can rest assured that you can deal with the Tartars..."

"This, this, brother, brother, you are so much, too polite..."Zhang Shicheng's face was thick, and when he heard this, his cheeks were so ashamed that his cheeks were bleeding. The big hand rubbed a few times in front of him, and stammered in response, "Then Huzhou was captured by you and your brothers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, brother, why am I embarrassed to take it for nothing?" Although you can rest assured to go back to Zhenjiang, Huzhou can leave two or three hundred people at will. I will send another 2,000 soldiers and horses to Gui'an County to watch for you. When you have your hands free, my men will withdraw again..." (Note 1)

"No, no, the soldiers and horses under Brother Zhang's command are not abundant. Besides, junior brother, I don't know how to govern the place, so I might as well give Huzhou City to you directly..."Wang Kerou heard this, and immediately waved his hand vigorously.

"How's that going to work? Who do you think of me Zhang Jiusi, who is cheeky enough to grab land from your own brothers? Zhang Shicheng also suddenly became polite, and refused to accept the other party's gift.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were respectful, they didn't finish pushing. Changzhou Army Commander Shi Huang Jingfu was in a hurry, coughed lightly a few times, and then interrupted with a smile, "Lord, don't you invite General Wang into the camp to sit?" It's not reasonable to talk outside the gate on this cold day..."

"Huh? If you don't say it, I almost forgot... Blame me, blame me..."Zhang Shicheng immediately slapped himself on the head and apologized loudly. Immediately, he grabbed Wang Kerou's arm with his other hand and said loudly, "Let's talk about who Huzhou City belongs to." It's rare that you have time today, brother, let's have a good drink of dozens of bowls..."

"With this amount of alcohol I have, who is my brother's opponent?" Wang Kerou was pulled and staggered a few steps, and shook her head with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be a kid, you are all brothers who pushed salt buns back then, none of us know who?" Zhang Shicheng refused to let go, continued to pull Wang Kerou, and strode towards the barracks, "Don't worry, you drank down today, I will send eight sedan chairs to send you back." If you are willing to stay with my brother and me, I will find four beauties to warm your bed. Don't worry, it's all Qingqi people who have never been touched, and they will never fool you with the broken flowers and willows..."

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you are so polite..."Wang Kerou was helpless, so she had to follow Zhang Shicheng and continue to walk deep into the barracks.

When they came to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Zhang Shixin and Zhang Shide had already arranged a banquet in advance. Everyone was seated. Wang Kerou's personal soldiers were also brought into the barracks by Zhang Shicheng's son-in-law Pan Yuanshao, and a banquet was set up next to the Chinese army commander's tent.

Wudi has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, and the food culture is very developed. In addition, Zhang Shicheng is now proud, and he has never considered living in excess of his income. Therefore, this banquet is extremely luxurious. Wang Kerou was so smiling that he almost bit his tongue several times.

At the dinner table, the guests and hosts also talked very harmoniously. In addition to their respective gains on the battlefield in the recent period, they also looked forward to the general trend of the world together, and they all firmly believed that the Great Yuan Dynasty was already in decline. Even with the help of the gods, it is impossible to get ZTE again.

"Half of Mengyuan's grain is supplied to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces..."Seeing Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou talking about it, they never touched on the main topic. Huang Jingfu was anxious, so he found an opportunity that he thought was appropriate, and interjected loudly: "And Chuzhou and Wenzhou in the south have many mountains and few lands, and the products are not rich. Therefore, as long as the lord and General Wang work together to take Hangzhou, it is equivalent to jamming the grain bags of the Mengyuan court. If you tighten your hands a little tighter, you won't have a single grain of rice transported to the capital..."

"That's exactly why..."Cai Yanwen and Huang Jingfu have always been smart, picked up a glass of wine, and added with a smile, "Although the two generals are in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as they can cut off the food supply of the Mengyuan Imperial Court, it is impossible to continue to recruit soldiers and horses to the south." Invisibly, it also helped Mr. Zhu a lot..."

"That's nature... As the saying goes, isn't the emperor bad at the bad soldiers? Zhang Shide quickly took over the conversation and turned the wine cup to Wang Kerou, "So I want to say more, the elder brother of the Wang family is actually not in a hurry to return to Zhenjiang now." Let's put the two soldiers and horses together and bring down Hangzhou first. After the money and food in Hangzhou City are divided, it will be much easier for Brother Wang to straighten out the soldiers and horses..."

"This is reasonable...... Wang Kerou first raised the wine cup and touched it with Zhang Shide, and then explained with a smile while tasting it slowly, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Cai, and Jiuliu, you must have a point." I'd had the same thought before this. But yesterday, I heard a piece of news. The general manager began to reorganize the army again, and the previous five armies were to be expanded into compartments, and General Manager Zhu called it a corps. Moreover, Wang Xuan's Yellow Army has been directly reorganized into the Sixth Army Corps in Shandong, with a total strength of nearly 70,000 troops, and the supply of ordnance, grain and grass is exactly the same as the other five legions..."

"This? This is true..."The Changzhou military and civil forces present were all slightly stunned, and blurted out the words of questioning.

Recently, they have been busy planning to set up their own portal, and they really haven't paid much attention to the changes in Huaiyang. It is only known that Zhu Chongjiu, Xu Da and Hu Dahai have all killed the Yellow River, and they are inseparable from the four generals Toto, Xuexue, Chahan Timur and Li Siqi at the foot of Mount Tai. didn't know that while letting go of the vicious battle with Tokto, Zhu Chongjiu actually had the energy to replan his Huai'an army...

"Why should I lie to you? Wang Kerou took another sip of wine, and his face was a little warm and slightly red because of the alcohol de-stimulation, "So I pondered, just refer to Wang Xuan's method, and directly take the brothers under my command to merge into the Huai'an Army." Otherwise, seeing that they are being left farther and farther away, they will take the initiative to send it to the door in the future, and people will not want to ask for it..."

Note 1: Due to special historical reasons, Huzhou is divided into two counties. Wucheng and Gui'an are both places of governance.

Note 2: Acute inflammation of the tonsils, woo-woo
