The next day, the edict was issued, with the Fengxiang Festival to make Wang Jing and the southwest camp to recruit envoys, Xiang Xun and the battalion soldiers and horses are the supervisors, Zhang Yue and the battalion horses and steps are the commanders, Murong Yanzhao is the deputy, Zan Jurun is the guest provincial envoy, and the west expedition is selected on the eighth day of April. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These edicts were not issued in court, but summoned Zhang Yue and Xiang Xun into the palace, as for Wang Jing, he sent the inner hall to Fengxiang Mansion to announce the edict, although there was no fanfare, but there was no secrecy.

Murong Yanzhao, Li Chuyun, and Shi Guangjun were preparing in an orderly manner, but Zhang Yue had nothing to do, going to the barracks in the morning to have a look, and going home in the afternoon to deal with the trivial matters after leaving Beijing.

is a little depressed that Yang Junping and Cheng Yachan's pregnancy and delivery date may be at the end of April or May, and Bian Yu may also be in July or August, which happened to be missed. Zhang Yue felt guilty in his heart, and took advantage of the last bit of free time to accompany them more. These things have to be handled by Fu Jinqiong, and she has little experience as a newly-married girl, so she asked her mother Li to come over to help take care of it.

Zhang Yue thought that his father-in-law's mansion was close to his house, so he took his wife back to the door this day, not wanting Fu Yanlin to call his third son Zhaoji out and let him follow him on the expedition. Fu Zhaoji is six in the family row, twenty years old, Fu Jinqiong is seven in the row, and his eldest brother Zhaowen is from the Li family, so he is considered a brother-in-law. Zhang Yue saw that Zhaoji was born with a slender figure and some fists and feet martial arts, so he readily agreed to come down and use it as the deputy head of the guard to give Yang Xuanli a hand.

Everything was arranged, early in the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Yue said goodbye to his wife and concubine, and asked Song Yaozhu to bring her maidservant, the two changed into military uniforms and mixed in the queue of pro-soldiers, took Feng Qianhou to accompany them, and rode to the barracks, Murong Yanzhao had already led the troops to line up and was ready to go, and Li Chuyun and Shi Guangjun took heavy grain and grass, iron, wood craftsmen, military doctors and other logistics personnel, and prepared them one by one. Xiang Xun also arrived first with 300 cavalry soldiers of the Zhen'an Army, and he set off with Zhang Yue in Beijing.

As soon as he entered the camp, Wang Pu also came with Zan Jurun, Wang Pu came to drink on behalf of the emperor and the privy ministers, and said a few words in the face of the 11,000 forbidden soldiers on the school field, which was a morale boost. It's nothing more than a promise of a reward for meritorious service or something, and there is no official military salary these days, which is also a due obligation.

At the end of the simple ceremony, Zhang Yue and Xiang Xun led the troops out of the camp, marched to the west, stayed overnight all the way, and on the way to supply grain and grass from the state and county, went to Luoyang to meet with the five thousand soldiers of the Zhen'an Army, and arrived at the camp outside the city of Tongguan in the afternoon after 12 days.

The Tongguan garrison seems to have increased, and the envoy guarding the pass is still Kang Chengze, he has already received the official document that the forbidden army is going to pass, the large camps outside the city have been set up, and the hot water for the soldiers to take a bath and dinner are all properly prepared. Zhang Yue directly led the troops into the camp, and just after taking a shower and changing clothes, he came back from a shower and changed clothes, and saw a person outside the military tent wandering back and forth with his head down, it was Kang Chengze.

Didn't this thing just leave, why did it come again? Zhang Yue stepped forward and asked, "Is there something wrong with Kang Du?" But it doesn't hurt to say! ”

"It's not a big deal! Someone asked me to send a letter to General Zhang. Kang Chengze smiled, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yue, arched his hand and turned to the side to wait.

"Thank you, Envoy Kangdu!" Who can actually ask Kang Chengze to send a letter, Zhang Yue wondered how to unscrew the small bamboo tube and pulled out a roll of thin silk, with only a few small characters on it: Please enter the city and see you! There's something urgent! The payment is Snow Lotus.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but suddenly, his face changed rapidly, and he asked with a smile: "Where does the person who entrusted you to deliver the letter live in Guancheng?" But what is there for Kangdu to make it clear? ”

"Not really...... Don't hide it from the general! The person is in my house, but don't worry, it's received by the cheap. Kang Chengze smiled warmly.

"Huh...... It's not convenient to get late now, so be it! Zhang Mou led his troops through Guancheng early tomorrow morning, and then went to the Kangdu Embassy to see him. Shen Xuelian actually lived in Kang Chengze's mansion, Zhang Yue was surprised in his heart, he didn't ask too much, he thought about it and replied, and sent Kang Chengze out of the camp.

Turning around and walking into the big tent, Song Yaozhu changed into a military uniform, and came out of the back tent wearing only a nightgown, and there was the sound of water inside, which was a maidservant taking a bath. Her hair was still dripping wet, and she wiped it with a towel, and sighed a little lazily: "Alas...... The march is really tiring, it's too inconvenient, what are we going to eat tonight? ”

"General Ben's meal won't be too bad, you hurry up and comb your hair to avoid it, I'll call the soldiers to send it!" Zhang Yue knelt on the table a little tiredly and said, it is really inconvenient to take women on the march, and his wife and brother Fu Zhaoji can see it, but he has one eye and one eye closed, but he does not dare to say more.

There was nothing to do all night, and before dawn in the morning, Zhang Yue and Xiang Xun led their troops out of the camp to line up, and the east gate of Guancheng was opened. Zhang Yue said to Song Yaozhu beside him, and then sent his own soldiers to inform Xiang Xun, and first took Yang Xuanli and his own soldiers to ride into the city and go to see Kang Chengze.

It will take a little time for 10,000 troops to pass through the city, but it can be regarded as a trace. When he arrived at the military office in the city, a soldier took Zhang Yue directly to a side hall in the back house, and after waiting for only a moment, Du Ximi came in with Shen Xuelian, and then grinned at Zhang Yue, and took the door to guard outside.

Shen Xuelian was dressed in a crimson arrow suit with narrow sleeves, red trousers, small black leather boots, and her hair was also in a man's bun.

"I have been leaving Liangzhou for more than a year without knowing it, and I have written to you four or five times, I really wronged you!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and opened his arms to cast a bear hug, but Shen Xuelian didn't want to dodge it with a chuckle.

"Grievance? You're married, aren't you? Two! And concubines, huh? Shen Xuelian asked with a sneer.

"Ahem...... Yes, long before I met you, the two marriages were decided, I guess you also heard Du Ximi say it, right? That's right! Isn't Du Ximi supposed to be in Huizhou? Why are you here? Zhang Yue asked suspiciously.

"This is a long story, after Hou Zhang took office in Liangzhou, the beginning was quite good, I didn't think that since last year, he actually removed my second uncle's position for some reason, and transferred my father to Changzhou Thorn History, and promoted Cui Huxin to Liangzhou Thorn History, and also the head of the Tooth Army. That's it, the Ori clan frequently attacked our Rokutani Division, and Hou Zhang didn't even pay attention to it, my father was angry and decided to go to Tokyo to pay tribute, and insisted that I go with him, you must be very happy, right? Shen Xuelian had a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of resentment.

"What do you mean? Is your father here too? Where does he live? Is this to send you into the palace? Zhang Yue was taken aback and asked repeatedly.

"Exactly! I'm going to Tokyo, I'm going to be the emperor's concubine, and I'm also the wife of the country, and you're ......."

"You want to enter the palace? Dream! Zhang Yue was very annoyed, in fact, Hou Zhang's actions were all the foundation he had laid, and he didn't want to rebound like Shen Nian, and he wanted to hug the emperor's thigh. And in order to appease Liangzhou, Hexi, Emperor Guo Rong may really accept Shen Nian to send his daughter into the palace, which is unbearable. (To be continued.) )
