Zhang Xuan's new mansion is located in the south of Yidu County, covering an area of about 70 acres, the courtyard is deep, the forest is luxuriant, there is a lake of 30 acres in the back house of the house, various pavilions and pavilions have been built around the lake, although it is far from being comparable with the mansion of the capital covering an area of hundreds of acres, but it is also exquisitely elegant, the painting pavilion corridor, the clear spring converges into a lake, the weeping willows on the lakeside are still there, there is a different artistic conception.

At present, there are about 100 people in the house, in addition to Zhang Xuan's four wives, there are housekeepers, maids, cooks, servants, housekeepers and so on, and the division of labor is very detailed.

In addition, there are twenty female guards in the house, they enjoy high salaries, but they have great responsibilities, they cannot be seen in the house, but when there is a disturbance, they are everywhere.

After returning from the withdrawal of troops from Bohai County, Zhang Xuan returned to his home and spent a few days of rare leisure life, in the study, Zhang Xuan was writing a letter to Li Qingming in Jiangdu, Zhang Xuan was more concerned about the development of Jiangdu than Li Yuan's attack on Guanzhong.

From the very beginning, Zhang Xuan secretly indulged in Li Yuan's development, he knew that Li Jiancheng was pretending to be Li Mi in Wagang, but he always forbears and does not expose it, the root cause of which is that only when Li Yuan raises troops will the Sui Dynasty completely fall apart.

Historically, Li Yuan's breakthrough into Guanzhong was the cause of the Jiangdu coup, but in fact, it was the Guanlong nobles who cooperated internally and externally, and welcomed Li Yuan into Guanzhong internally, and externally instigated the Jiangdu Incident.

Now that Li Yuan has reached the point of entering the Guanzhong, there should be an undercurrent on the Jiangdu side, and at this time, Zhang Xuan especially needs Li Qingming to play a role in Jiangdu.

Just when Zhang Xuan was writing hard, the door opened quietly, and Pei Zhizhi walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea, although Zhang Xuan went north to prepare for the Hebei campaign on the second day after Pei Zhizhi entered the door, but it was not until these days that Pei Zhizhi really enjoyed the joy of being married.

In just two days, Pei Zhizhi became radiant. Beauty blooms like flowers, and her husband's tender care like water makes Pei Zhizhi completely forget the misfortune and hatred of the past, and her heart gradually becomes cheerful.

Pei Zhizhi put the tea bowl on the table, pursed his lips and smiled: "Eldest sister asked me to bring you a bowl of ginseng tea." ”

"To whom?" Zhang Xuan asked without raising his head.

"To my husband!" Pei Zhizhi was a little embarrassed.

Jag Hyun put down his pen, smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, and let her sit beside him. "I heard you received a letter from your father yesterday?"

"Hmm!"

Pei Zhizhi nodded lightly, "Because I heard that there was a war in Bingzhou, my father was afraid that I would be worried, so he wrote a letter to me not to worry, everything is normal at home, and it has not been affected by the war, and he also asked me to serve my husband well and fight"

"Fight for what?" There was a hint of ridicule in Jaang Xuan's tone.

Pei Zhizhi's pretty face turned red with shame, and he got up to leave. But Zhang Xuan grabbed his waist and said with a smile: "If you don't make it clear, I won't let you go." ”

"My husband is necrotic, do you still have to ask about this kind of thing?"

Pei Zhizhi was coquettish in Zhang Xuan's arms, and under Zhang Xuan's repeated requests, she had to wrap her arms around her husband's neck and whisper in his ear: "Strive to give birth to your husband as soon as possible." ”

Hugging his wife's young and plump delicate body, Zhang Xuan's heart fluttered. got up and walked quickly to close the door, and pulled Pei Zhizhi towards the back room. Pei Zhizhi twisted a few times, but in the end, he couldn't stop Zhang Xuan's fiery attack, and obediently followed his husband into the back room

Although a comfortable and pleasant life helps to relax stress, greed can make mistakes, and in the afternoon, Zhang Xuan came to the general's office. This was originally the Beihai County Office, which was the military office of the Qingzhou Army a long time ago, but it was not made public until Li Yuan raised his army, and it was officially listed as Zhang Xuan's general military office.

There is a huge sand table in the battle hall. This sand table is four zhang long and four zhang wide, composed of five slightly smaller sand tables such as Hebei, Central Plains, Bingzhou, Guanlong and Jianghuai, and there is an aisle in the middle of the sand table, so that you can observe the battle situation in various places at any time.

Fang Xuanling is commanding two counselors to be busy planting small flags on the sand table, since Zhang Xuan created the counselor's office at the end of last year, Fang Xuanling has gradually gotten rid of complicated military affairs and become a military adviser in the real sense, in charge of intelligence and the counselor's office,

The counselor's office is equivalent to the staff headquarters of later generations, and the information sent from all over the country is first summarized and sorted out here, and the two of them are specially responsible for displaying the battle situation in various places on the sand table, and this has also become the place where Zhang Xuan comes most often.

At this time, Zhang Xuan appeared next to the sand table, looking at the small flag of Hedong County, he had already received information that Li Yuan's 60,000 troops were confronting Qu Tutong and Song Laosheng in Hedong County, and the continuous heavy rain made Hedong County have become Zeguo, and the war was in a stalemate.

Fang Xuanling slowly walked to Zhang Xuan's side and said in a low voice: "The latest information I got from Chang'an at noon today, there was an outbreak in Qu Tutong's department, and it was rumored on the streets of Chang'an that Qu Tutong's eldest son, Qu Tushou, had studied in Wuchuan Mansion and was a sworn brother with Li Jiancheng. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "How credible do you think this rumor is?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "I think it should be a fact, the continuous rainfall in Hedong County is indeed easy to break out of the epidemic, Qu Tutong's ancestor was a slave of the Xianbei Murong family, and later followed Yuwentai, which can be regarded as a collateral line of the Guanlong nobles, Qu Tushou is normal to study in Wuchuan Mansion, and it is reasonable to have a close relationship with Li Jiancheng, the problem is not here, the Son of Heaven and Li Yuan are still cousins, will they collude?" This is obviously confusing right and wrong, and its purpose is to provoke the relationship between Qu Tutong and the Great Sui. ”

"The military advisor is right, Li Yuan is using a countermeasure, if I am not mistaken, he must also be entrapping Qu Tutong, and finally forcing Qu Tutong to surrender without a fight."

"Do you think they will succeed?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "The general trend of the Sui Dynasty has gone, how can Qu Tutong not know, he himself is a Guanlong faction, I think the possibility of surrender is very great, and Song Laosheng has courage and no strategy, Li Yuan only needs a little trick, Song Laosheng will be defeated in the urn, and Li Yuan's entry into Guanzhong is already ironclad." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan turned back to Fang Xuanling and said: "Seeing that Li Yuan will enter Guanzhong, we must also speed up the pace in Hebei, are Gao Lie and Dou Jiande at war?" ”

"They broke out a fierce battle in the north of Raoyang County yesterday, and the situation of the battle is still unknown."

Zhang Xuan walked a few steps and asked, "How is the situation on the Wagang side?" ”

"I heard that there are great differences within the Wagang army, Zhai Hong and Hao Xiaode strongly advocate attacking Qingzhou, while Shan Xiongxin advocates attacking Luokoucang, the two sides are in dispute, and Zhai Rang has not yet made up his mind."

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew why Zhai Hong, Hao Xiaode and others tried their best to attack Qingzhou, which was actually a kind of containment of the Bohai Society, using the penetration of the Wagang Army by the Bohai Society, and instructing the Wagang Army to attack Qingzhou, so as to contain themselves on the Central Plains line, and was unable to interfere with the expansion of the Bohai Society in Hebei.

Zhang Xuan also knew the viciousness of the Bohai Society's move, and if he didn't solve the problem of the eastward expansion of the Wagang Army, he really couldn't afford to send a large army north.

Zhang Xuan walked to the Central Plains sand table with his hand, looking at Chenliu County in the sand table, at present, the nest of the Wagang Army has moved to Chenliu County, but a lot of grain and grass materials are still stored in Wagang Mountain, only the outbreak of the food crisis in the Wagang Army will force Zhai Rang to abandon Qingzhou, and concentrate his troops to attack Luokoucang.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan turned back to Fang Xuanling and said, "Send someone to inform Cheng Yanjin immediately, he can play a role." ”

In the north of Kuangcheng County, on a trail leading to Wagang Mountain, a mule and horse convoy is slowly heading north, the convoy is endless, stretching for two miles, and on the cart headed by is an apricot yellow and black border flag, on which are written 'Wagang' two big characters, which is the grain convoy of the Wagang Army.

The grain convoy was guarded by a thousand soldiers, and the general at the head of the convoy was black-faced, with a long unkempt and thorny beard, which looked very rough, but with a pair of cunning and shrewd eyes, the roughness seemed a little unreal.

This person is the well-known 'Three Absolute Generals' Cheng Biting Jin in the Wagang Army, and the so-called Three Absolute is 'good gambling without taste, good wine without quantity, lust without guts'.

After Cheng Yanjin followed Xu Shiji to surrender to the Qingzhou Army in Hanoi County, he was then secretly sent back to Wagang by Zhang Xuan, of course, he had his own reasons, his wife was in Dongcheng County, and he did not want to follow Li Jiancheng to merge the state, nor did he want to surrender to the Qingzhou Army, and he was still eating wine and gambling in Wagang Mountain.

The relationship between Cheng Yanjin and Shan Xiongxin is very good, with Shan Xiongxin's guarantee, and Zhai Rang also feels that the Qingzhou Army will not want a scoundrel like Cheng Yanjin, especially Zhai Rang does not know the special relationship between Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Xuan, so he believed Cheng Yanjin's statement and appointed him as the grain supervisor, responsible for supervising the transportation of logistics grain and grass and military materials.

"You stinky boys don't know, Lao Tzu's three-plate axe was given by Ziyang Zhenren, Ziyang Zhenren sleepwalked everywhere back then, no! That traveled all over the world, one day came to Turtledove Town, Dong'e County, he saw that my bones were strange and his knowledge was extraordinary, so he taught me the thirty-six ways to open the sky axe method, and told me that when I condensed the thirty-six road axe method into three and a half moves, that was the day when I was done, he floated away. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Biting Jin waved a big axe, and smiled at a group of little minions who were drunk and obsessed: "Lao Tzu's axe is made by Ziyang Zhenren himself, so it is also called Ziyang Kaitian Axe, speaking of which Zhang Xuan is still my junior brother, I met him in Mayi County back then, and I thought that he was good, so I introduced him to my master Ziyang Zhenren, and he has today's martial arts." ”

Cheng bit the gold and blew the sky, and at this time, there were people in a bunch of minions 'poof!' He laughed. (To be continued.) )
