Chapter Twenty-Nine: Advancing to Wuxing
Tonight, the sky is excellent, the bright moon is thousands of miles, the mercury is white, the sky is full of stars, shining brightly, and the whole world is shining with mysterious colors.
The bright moon has slowly sloped the mountains to the west, quietly swaying the gentle silver light on everyone, so calm, so serene.
Occasionally, the restless neighing of war horses and the shouts of soldiers were heard down the slope, and then disappeared into the vast night.
There are only grass and insects in the mountains, and the sound of the night wind blowing in the face from time to time.
From time to time, the sound of the tide gently lapping on the shore could be heard in the distance, but in a vague way, the sound gradually faded away and returned to calm.
Fireflies flutter in the air from time to time, flashing with a turquoise glow, dotting the beautiful night sky, but this is all so beautiful.
Zhang Lang stretched his waist comfortably and comfortably, and fell on the grassy slope. Stealing a little floating life is half idle, that's the taste.
I felt a little itchy on my face, and there was a hint of coldness, but it was more of a refreshing earthy smell, so natural, so fresh.
Yang Rong is on the left, and Zhao Yu is on the right. The unique fragrance of the girl, coupled with the freshness of the earth formed by heaven and earth, is intoxicated for a while.
The voices of Yang Rong and Zhao Yu are like heavenly sounds, breaking the quiet night sky, which makes people even more intoxicated and dreamlike.
Suddenly, Zhang Lang felt that he only hoped that time would stay in this moment forever, and he didn't think about what was going on to dominate the world or what was winning the rivers and mountains.
sighed comfortably, closed his eyes, simply let go of his heart, and melted himself into the nature of heaven and earth, only feeling extremely open-minded.
Yang Rong bowed her head affectionately and said softly: "Husband, what are you sighing for, do you have something on your mind?" β
Zhang Lang stretched out his hand and gently touched Yang Rong's jade hand, his heart was warm, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable." β
Yang Rong saw that his eyes were only staring at the starry sky, his face was full of sighs, and if he realized something, he couldn't help but lightly forehead, but grabbed Zhang Langhu's palm tightly, and said with some emotion: "No matter how the world changes, how life moves, even if it is the vicissitudes of the sea and the sea is rotten, Rong'er will always be by your side and support you." β
Zhang Lang's heart almost melted, he was very excited, held Yang Rongyu's hand tightly, and said, "I must do Zhou Gong's gift with Rong'er again tonight." β
Yang Rong didn't expect Zhang Lang to be serious for two minutes, and he played a scoundrel again, ashamed and funny, he was focused just now, and his gentle look disappeared, and he slapped his hand lightly twice, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about, you pervert, Yu'er is still on it, you talk so nonsense, people are a little girl, don't teach her badly." β
Zhang Lang then remembered that there was a little sister on the side, but he didn't take it to heart, I was used to it, and I didn't care what others thought. glanced back, under the starlight, Zhao Yu's lovely face was a little flushed, but most of them were curious, and the two big black eyes stared at Zhang Lang and Yang Rong without turning around, with a rather strange expression.
couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yu'er, what do you listen to so fascinatingly, children don't learn well, and they only eavesdrop on other people's conversations." β
Yang Rong was overwhelmed, obviously he had no mouth to cover, and he blamed others for eavesdropping, and he didn't want to think about the dead of night, and a light movement couldn't reveal the law, plus she was still a beautiful woman with super martial arts skills, seeing all directions and listening to all directions. He was angry and laughed again: "You scoundrel, I really can't do anything about you." β
Zhao Yu pursed his lips and said unhappily: "Who is the child, Zhao Yu is 17 years old this year." β
Zhang Lang lost his voice and said: "I see, Yu'er has grown up, she is 17 years old, and she has grown up to be a water hibiscus, a generation of beauties, and she can get married." β
After Zhao Yu heard this, his lovely face showed joy, and he didn't see Zhang Lang's cunning eyes, and said quite proudly: "Of course." β
Zhang Lang laughed twice in his heart, and said casually: "It turned out to be Sichun, no wonder, I thought something had happened." β
"What did you say?" Zhao Yu's face was as red as a big red cloth, and the person almost pounced on him, and his shy slender hands beat Zhang Lang desperately, and he was unreasonable.
Zhang Lang's eyes were quick, he grabbed Zhao Yuxian's hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that girls are very irritable when they think of spring, and they want to hit people and drop things at every turn, it seems that Yu'er you really have this matter, so rude, why don't you have a little ladylike demeanor, next time I must find a butcher who kills pigs, so that I can suppress you well?" β
Zhao Yu told Zhang Lang that he would not be ashamed, but as fierce as a tigress, he struggled, took off Zhang Langhu's claws, grabbed a handful of turf from the ground with both hands and threw it over, and said angrily: "Brother Lang, you are so hateful, so Zhao Yu, I will ignore you." "Ignore it here, there are slender hands, and they keep slapping, but most of them are thunder and rain.
Yang Rong watched the two of them play with interest, and watched quietly with a smile.
In the middle of the sound, Zhang Lang suddenly remembered something, stopped Zhao Yu's trouble, looked at the starry sky with his eyes, thoughtful.
At this time, the moon shifts the shadow of the flowers, the stars are bright, the black mountains in the distance, the rolling river on the side, and the night sky is calm again.
Zhao Yu's face was red and the tide finally receded, Fang Xin was strange, patted the soil on Xian's hand, and said puzzledly: "Brother Lang, what are you thinking?" β
Zhang Lang was a little absent-minded, shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." "Eyes staring at the starry sky in a daze.
Yang Rong understood something, knew the roots, hugged Zhang Lang tightly from the side, fragrant, tender like water, and murmured: "Husband, don't think about it, uncle, aunt They have always been very strong, and your brother is also very filial, and he will take good care of them." β
Zhang Lang stretched out his hand to hold Yang Rong in his arms, caressed his beautiful long hair, couldn't help but breathe in the unique fragrance of Yang Rong's body, and said with a little confusion in his eyes: "Usually I never know what filial piety is, I just eat, drink, and have fun, and I never care about the two of them well, let alone ask them for warmth." Now suddenly away from their sight, the things that are usually inadvertent, if one by one are clearly reflected in their minds. I really miss them, I don't know if it's okay? Heartbroken by my disappearance? β
Yang Rong just hugged Zhang Lang tightly emotionally, without saying a word, but her thoughts in her heart turned to the distant era.
Zhang Lang's father, Zhang Ye, was the chief of staff of a certain military region in Nanjing, and now he was about forty years old, a loving father before justice, and a cold-faced rebel officer before darkness. His surname Ke is tenacious, ruthless, jealous and hateful, as long as the lawbreakers fall into his hands, no matter who it is, the six relatives do not recognize it, even Zhang Lang can't avoid it, and he clearly remembers how his father treated him with righteousness after he cut people with a watermelon knife for the first time. Just because Zhang Ye's surname is Ke, he faced the darkness and offended many high-level people, otherwise, with his ability, he would never be a small chief of staff. And Zhang's mother opened a small company by herself and did a small business, which can be regarded as a successful strong woman. Although he can't make a lot of money, he has a good life, and his family of four is also very nourishing. Zhang's mother should have a shrewd mind and beautiful genes as a businessman; Father Zhang's cold appearance has a warm blood and tenacious heart, most of which have been inherited to Zhang Lang.
"I wonder if we can go back and see them?" Zhang Lang suddenly had a whim, and then said with annoyance.
If you take Cai Yan, Mihuan, and the pair of sisters back to modern times, I don't know what the consequences will be? Zhang Lang thought about it, but he had some expectations.
Yang Rong didn't know how to answer, so she could only comfort: "Husband, isn't it the greatest reward for them that you are doing a career here?" β
Zhang Lang smiled, his expression was not as depressed as just now, but he said with some interest: "That's as easy as you said, there are many gate valves in Jiangdong, and it will take some time to get this done." Like Cao Ying in the north, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and other guys, all of them are very evil, scheming, and long-term, even if we lay down Jiangdong, I think it will take at least ten years of economic and military development to make up for the congenital weakness of Jiangnan, so that we can go north to the Central Plains. β
Yang Rong's beautiful phoenix eyes turned and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, didn't Cao Ying coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" Husband, you take the first step, grab it in front of him, and when the time comes, a cockroach will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, hee hee didn't it be easy to do anything at that time, did you say that I was right? After saying that, she laughed.
Zhang Lang's heart perked, this is a good way. Another day, talk to Guo Jia about the feasible surname of this matter.
Then he looked at Zhao Yu, who looked bored, and said, "Yu'er, don't say anything you hear tonight, otherwise I will ignore you." β
Zhao Yu was confused and didn't understand at all when he heard it just now, but he still nodded very seriously.
Zhang Lang frowned at this time, and said to Yang Rong: "It's not too late, let's go back to "sleep" early!" "Talking about hehehe, he smiled, and deliberately accented the word "sleep" to make out its special and important surname.
Sure enough, when Yang Rong heard the song, she knew the elegance, and two red clouds appeared on her face, and she glanced at her with a charming look, and replied shyly, as if she was drunk.
Although the little mouth resisted coquettishly, he still obediently followed Zhang Lang at his feet, and went back to the road of Fuyi with his head down.
Even Zhao Yu heard this, his face was flushed, he packed up the things on the slope, and turned back.
The next morning, before dawn, the trumpet of the Niuzhu military village sounded. It was the sound of convergence, and the soldiers were about to start their morning exercise again.
Zhang Lang opened his eyes in confusion by the pain of the noise, only felt that his chest was heavy, grabbed Yang Rong's lotus root arm across his neck, pushed it out, and then turned over habitually, and pressed one palm on Yang Rong's firm mutton fat-like chest, full of bullets, full of fragrance. Zhang Lang couldn't help but pinch it lightly twice, but there were several rounds of gut fighting last night, so Yang Rong was exhausted, and he was also tired with a sore back, who told him to ask for too much, almost it all night, and he was still dizzy and sleepy.
Yang Rong snorted twice, her long hair moved twice, her phoenix eyes opened, and the octopus entangled Zhang Lang and squeezed into his arms and fell asleep.
After lying in bed for a while, Zhang Lang felt as if the sky was about to brighten, so he was a little unwilling to get up and change clothes.
Looking at Yang Rong sleeping like a child, with a trace of black hair scattered on the pillow next to the bed, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, and she couldn't help but step forward, smelling the fragrance that she never got tired of, only feeling relaxed and happy, and then gently kissed her on the forehead. Only then did he change his clothes with satisfaction and walked out of the door in good spirits.
The army rested in Niuzhu for several days to replenish military supplies and grass. At this time, it was already summer, and the weather was getting hotter, and Zhang Lang urged the army to fight quickly.
Tai Shi Ci since leaving Xuzhou after repeated military exploits, across the battlefield, the prestige in the army is quite high, Zhang Lang made him the main general, Chen Wu as the deputy, led 20,000 troops to attack Jing County. He also ordered Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to lead 10,000 troops, and contacted Liyang Xu Shu to send troops to Moling together to fight for a battle. When he led Niu Zhu's soldiers and horses, he cooperated with Jiang Qin and Zhoutai's troops, crossed the Qinhuai River, and suppressed Liu Xuan's army and could not support Moling.
After all the soldiers and horses were adjusted, the army began to besiege Moling in an all-round way.
Chen Heng realized that his thoughts were too naΓ―ve, thinking that with his bravery, the encouragement of the three armies, and the full support of Liu Xuan's Shizigang troops, Zhang Lang would definitely be defeated. Obviously, he underestimated Zhang Lang too much, and also overestimated the strength of his subordinate soldiers, and it turned out that the consequences of pride were too disastrous. When Jiang Qin Zhoutai and Lian Rong's 30,000 horses attacked Moling, he knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake, and the morale of Liu Xuan's army after the defeat was not high, and Zhang Lang's troops were extremely elite, and at the same time, the troops of Liyang in Jiangbei crossed the river to attack, and the two armies had won and lost as soon as they clashed. At this time, Chen Heng regretted that it was too late.
Zhang Lang's two-way military horses, morale like a rainbow, all of them were unstoppable, all the way through the pass, and finally won the battle in Moling. And Liu Xiangben sent troops to support Moling, but he and Zhang Lang's troops encountered halfway and were pressed to death, and in desperation, they could only retreat to Shizigang. After arriving, Chen Hengli could not get rid of the battle, and the form plummeted, and the morale of the defenders fell to the bottom after repeated defeats. Ran a lot, more surrendered. After Zhou Tai ordered the soldiers to shout "surrender and not kill", he heard more than the sound of tearing and killing, and the sound of soldiers throwing weapons when they surrendered, the war was almost over, and Chen Heng saw that the general trend had gone, so he had no choice but to surrender.
How much time did the Xuzhou army win before and after the end of this battle.
The Moling was lost, the Jiangnan portal was completely opened, and Zhang Lang really had enough reason to be happy.
As expected, Liu Miao retreated to Shentingling, and sent a letter to ask Wang Lang to send troops together.
Zhang Lang's army pressed into Nanxu, the counties and counties, looking at the wind and descending, now Jiangdong who does not know Zhang Lang's name. Among the recruiters, there is Zhou Yu's father, Danyang is too guarded by Zhou Shang, when Zhang Lang saw him, he was overjoyed and respected as a guest. Because of him by his side, Zhou Yu couldn't run far if he wanted to.
Zhang Lang and Liu Miao held each other for half a month in Shenyuan Ridge. In the meantime, Tai Shici forcibly conquered Jing County at the end of Wang Lang's reinforcements, and the army was slightly rectified, and then advanced to Wucheng, pointing directly at Jiaxing, Wuzhong was shaken, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and everyone was prepared for danger in peace. Just when the people of Wu County were panicking, the two families of Lu Gu, the head of the wealthy clan in Wu, released the news together to welcome Zhang Lang into Wu, on the condition that they would not destroy the respective interests of the family. You must know that the people of Jiangnan are extremely xenophobic, and it is not easy to do this. Of course, these are the results of Gu Yong's quick horse taking Zhang Lang's letters and lobbying the two families.
Because of Gu Yong, the Gu family, coupled with his integrity and clever tongue, quickly got the consent of the Gu family. The Lu family paid a lot of money to demolish it before they agreed. Because of Zhang Lang's prestige, he has already been famous in Yangzhou, and it is imperative to break Liu Xuan recently, advance to Wucheng, and then go down to Jiangdong counties. I wanted to resist together with the thieves in Wuzhong, but under Gu Yong's surrender, I was afraid that if I was defeated, my family would be defeated, because the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army was really not covered. Moreover, Zhang Lang's conditions are quite attractive, plus he has a good reputation outside, and he is also a trustworthy person. The Lu family also had many visionaries who quickly agreed to this matter.
Once the two families agreed to Xuzhou Zhang Lang's entry into Wu County, the others had nothing to say and agreed.
At this time, news came from Lujiang that after Sun Ce threw himself into Zhou Yu in Shu County, Zhou Yu scattered all his family wealth, recruited troops and sold horses for Sun Ce, and invited his friends Lu Su and Guangling Zhang Hong to go out of the mountain to help. In March, he raided the remnants of Anfeng Yuanshu, broke it, and collected nearly 10,000 people. Then he advanced to Gushi, Gwangju, and approached Pingchun, and Weizhen Yuzhou.
