Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lovers Eventually Become Married (I)
Zhou Yu broke Yingchuan City, Huang Zhong captured Wuping City, and Cao Ying's territory south of the Yellow River was drastically reduced.
Due to the continuous campaign, the soldiers were tired, and the consumption of grain and grass materials was great, and in 211 A.D., the Jiangdong Army withdrew and retreated to Huaixi, ending this wave of expeditions and preparing to continue the conquest in the coming year.
In this battle, Cao Ying not only lost a large area of land south of the Yellow River, but was also forced to move to Yecheng, and his prestige was greatly reduced for a while. The remnants of the Yuan clan took the opportunity to make trouble everywhere, and Hebei fell into turmoil, although the last one was suppressed, but Cao Ying was also greatly injured.
Fortunately, Cao Ying followed Jia Xu's plan and provoked a rebellion in the Southern Barbarians, which was able to slow down Liu Bei's pace and let him retreat to Hanzhong.
Ma Teng's army has entered Jingshui, with the momentum of building from a high house, peeking at Chang'an, but the land in Guanzhong has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and without Liu Bei's containment, it is difficult for the Xiliang army to advance an inch for a while. Under the difficulty of attacking for a long time, Ma Teng's heart was buoyant, and it was at this time that Jia Xu began to pull discord from it, Han Sui and Ma Teng broke out in contradictions, and the two turned against each other and began to attack each other. The Xiliang army was in chaos without a fight. Jia Xu sent people to persuade Han Sui, who was cornered by Ma Teng, to surrender, and together with the Guanzhong army, launched a surprise attack on Ma Teng.
Han Sui and Zhong Xuan took the opportunity to catch up, and Ma Teng retreated to Shaanxi in defeat, and has been in a slump since then.
Although the powerful three-way coalition army marched into the Central Plains, although Cao Ying lost a large amount of land south of the Yellow River, in the end, Cao Yingcheng resisted the footsteps of the Jiangdong Army's northern expedition to the Central Plains, and defeated Ma Teng, making it difficult for him to do anything again in a few years.
In the winter of the southern country, it is extremely rare to see goose feathers and heavy snowfall, and pieces are sprinkled from the air.
The bitter north wind whistled and snowflakes fluttered in the air. The mountains, the fallen treetops, the plain eaves, and the vast streets outside the city are all covered with a layer of snow-white. As far as the eye can see, it is like the scenery of the northern country, and it is white. In every corner, the sound of children frolicking kept coming, and the frozen red face was full of happy smiles.
The back garden on Zhang Lang's house is also snow-white.
Zhang Lang and Zhen Mi hugged each other together, stepping on the snow to find plums. The snow left a faint footprint, which was soon hidden by the fluttering snowflakes.
Zhen Mi was wearing a black mink coat outside, and her whole body was tightly wrapped. The originally crystal cheeks were a little red in the wind and snow, which not only did not damage her beauty, but became more charming anyway, and the white skin was full of charming red, exuding a burst of mature and charming charm. As a wife, she is less youthful and more dignified.
Zhang Lang held Zhen Mi's waist with one hand, and while looking at the vast land, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Due to geographical reasons, it is very rare for Jiangnan to have such a situation. This heavy rain is the rarest in more than a decade. ”
Zhen Mi smiled softly, leaning her delicate body into Zhang Lang's arms tighter, and said with beautiful eyes: "In the north, this kind of snow is nothing. But the general sighed at this, which shows that the general is really a frog at the bottom of the well. ”
Zhang Lang didn't pay attention to Zhen Mi's ridicule, but just sighed: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this snow is good." ”
Zhen Mifeng's eyes flashed with a strange look and said: "The general has just quit the army, do you want to go north to the Central Plains next year?" ”
Zhang Lang said with a firm face: "Not bad." No matter how Jiangnan is like it, it is not as fast as Hebei to recover because of its weak foundation. I Jiangdong recuperated for three years, while Cao Ying only needed one year. If you don't take advantage of Hebei's vitality to heal and go north to the Central Plains, I'm afraid that if you want to take Cao Ying at that time, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
Zhen Mi hugged Zhang Lang's tiger back with her slender hand, and whispered: "You men's affairs, concubines don't care." ”
Zhang Lang suddenly turned around, wrapped his hands around Zhen Miyingying's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Wife, do you remember that General Ben specially appointed you as a prison soldier back then?" ”
Zhen Mi immediately remembered the words of the man who joined the army with Zhang Lang back then, and a faint intoxicating smile appeared on his face, with memories, but his voice was a little coquettish: "Of course the concubine remembers, although the general appointed me a prison army, but he is a prison army with no name and no power." ”
Zhang Lang also seemed to be reminded of the memory, and said with a strong smile on his face: "I still vaguely remember how the beautiful military advisor was passionate about words and pointed out the country." And how to spray the dog's blood sprayed by this general, and there is no end to it. ”
Zhen Mi smiled softly, instantly blooming beautifully, and making the world lose color. She glanced at Zhang Lang and said with a coquettish look: "I still remember a certain general holding a cold knife, lying across the concubine's erection, and destroying the tweed with his hot hands. ”
Zhang Lang was not a little embarrassed, on the contrary, he said with some smugness: "It was the heroic and martial actions of this general back then that made Mrs. Zhen today." ”
Zhen Mi scolded with a smile, but her mind was inexorably reminded of the past, both happiness and sadness. She glanced at Zhang Lang coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "The concubine has never seen a person as barbaric and unreasonable as the general." ”
Zhang Lang laughed heartily and said: "If not, where is the pretty woman in his arms now?" ”
Zhen Mi glanced at Zhang Lang again, happily nestled in his arms, not speechless.
Zhang Lang's thoughts couldn't help but drift to a certain night a few years ago.
At that time, Jingzhou had just been pacified, and it was time to return to Moling to recuperate.
"My lord." After being briefed, one of the guards came in in a hurry.
Zhang Langzheng was returning from the triumphant return of the Jingchu War, and his mood was incomparably more comfortable, and he said briskly: "What happened?" ”
The guard saluted and said: "I just got the news from secretly protecting Miss Zhen, recently said that there is always a young man who is by Miss Zhen's side, this person has a lot of mouth, and always deliberately approaches Miss Zhen openly and secretly, although the attendants have interfered many times, but it has little effect, and it has also caused Miss Zhen's dissatisfaction, they see that this matter is tricky, and they dare not make another time, and the express horse came to report. ”
Zhang Lang was not surprised at all, Diao Xiuer had mentioned it some time ago, but he was too busy, and finally took this matter to heart, if he mentioned it again, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy: "Who is that person?" Have you noticed? ”
The guard said: "It has been checked, this person's name is He Da, and he is the son of He Qi, the commander of Wu County." ”
Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows and said with a little interest: "Heda? Heqi? ”
The guard didn't know what Zhang Lang was thinking, and confirmed: "Exactly." ”
Zhang Lang used to be familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention, he also has a certain understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many fictional characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there are many famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms who have not appeared in the Romance, He Qi is one of them. He Qi's younger brother He Jing, and his son He Da were all good generals in the later period of the Wu Kingdom.
Zhang Lang waved off the guards and pondered alone.
Depending on the situation, Heda has been pursuing Zhen Mi for a while, and if he allows things to develop again, no one dares to guarantee what will happen later. Zhen Mi is a very assertive daughter, rich and prosperous, gold, silver and money are not attractive to her at all, just because she doesn't want to stay in Moling, it can be seen that she travels around, if she doesn't work hard, I really don't know what the situation will be in the future.
So what do we do now? Kill Heda? Just kidding, Zhang Lang won't do this kind of thing yet. Go to Wu County to find Zhen Mi by yourself? Hehe, you have to ask your subordinates if they agree. Then the golden order was transferred back to Zhen Mi? This is a possible approach.
Thinking of this time, Zhang Lang did not issue a special golden order for the sake of military intelligence for the first time, and transferred back to Zhen Mi.
Ten years later, Zhen Mi was semi-forcibly "escorted" back to Moling, including Heda.
At this time, after Zhang Lang finished handling his official business, he returned to the house in a hurry.
After dinner, Zhang Lang asked Yang Rong, "Rong'er, why didn't you see Zhen Mi?" ”
Yang Rong was teasing the two babies, and she didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Lang and said, "She is in the wing." After saying this, Yang Rong raised up and giggled: "Zhen Mi doesn't know what's going on, she has been sullen since she came back." Did you mess with her about something? ”
Zhang Lang saw a hint of schadenfreude in Yang Rong's eyes, he shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything, and went to find Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi was reading in the wing room, without a trace of impatience, a peaceful atmosphere enveloped the whole body, and there was a sense of holiness.
After Zhang Lang entered the door, Zhen Mi ignored him.
After a long time, Zhang Lang began to ask tentatively: "Miss Zhen, don't come to Wuxian?" ”
Zhen Mi didn't raise her head, she still stared at the book with her dark eyes, and said lukewarmly: "With General Lao worried, everything is fine." ”
Zhang Lang didn't pay attention to her tone, on the contrary, he looked at this Zhen beauty from the side with interest. Every time I see her, I feel amazing. Every time I see her, I will be unconsciously attracted to it. The graceful curves, the delicate body, the perfection like a swan's jade neck, and the snow-white skin exudes bursts of pink luster. And the flawless face shape was thrillingly displayed in front of Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang's unscrupulous big eyes went up and down, admiring it.
Zhang Lang didn't speak, and Zhen Mi naturally couldn't speak. But Zhang Lang's aggressive eyes slowly made Zhen Mi feel uncomfortable. An awkward and dark atmosphere began to grow secretly in the hearts of the two.
Zhen Mi couldn't stand this feeling at first, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "General, you asked Hou and asked, and I watched it, if there is nothing else, Zhen Mi wants to rest." ”
Zhen Mi gave the guest order, but Zhang Lang didn't have any consciousness, and he didn't leave there, but said with a smile: "Miss Zhen is still angry with General Ben?" ”
Zhen Mi said lightly: "How dare the little woman be angry with the general? ”
Zhang Lang obviously heard the distance in Zhen Mi's voice, if he didn't make up for it, he was afraid that this beautiful woman would really slip away from him. Zhang Lang took a breath, and said with a somewhat bitter expression: "It's understandable that you blame General Ben, in the past few years, Miss Zhen has been traveling outside, gathering less and leaving more, and staying in Moling for only a handful of time, if I hadn't snubbed you a little, I believe things wouldn't have developed like this." ”
Zhen Mi looked at Zhang Lang's somewhat sad expression, and was upset for a while, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Lang looked at Zhen Mi affectionately and said: "I believe that I don't need to say what I think about Miss Zhen, Miss Zhen also understands." ”
Zhen Mi tried his best to calm the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "The general doesn't need to say more, Zhen Mi is very tired now. ”
Zhang Lang's expression suddenly seemed to have made a big decision, his voice was calm without a trace of waves, and he said lightly: "If Miss Zhen thinks that Heda is okay, I don't mind being the old man." To be honest, although Heda is a bit floating, he is very talented, and if he is exercised, he will become a talent who stands alone in the future. After saying this, Zhang Lang began to retreat slowly, his affectionate eyes had turned into a pool of deep water, and he was so indifferent that people couldn't see the bottom.
Zhen Mifang's heart throbbed, I don't know if she was infected by the indifferent aura emanating from Zhang Lang's body, or she expected the distance between the two after Zhang Lang stepped out of the door, and her face, which was originally deliberately calm, finally panicked this time, and shouted urgently: "Zhang Lang." ”
Zhang Lang's move is to retreat into advance, coupled with his superb acting skills, it can be said that he has reached the point of perfection. In fact, this is also Zhang Lang's helpless move, if he doesn't take the risk, I'm afraid that there is really no other chance to turn the tables. Sure enough, it still had some effect, and I heard a different feeling from Zhen Mi's anxious tone, but at this time, Zhang Lang was still ready to take another fierce medicine, and he said coldly: "I have also already reached Moling, and how things develop is just in Miss Zhen's thoughts." ”
Zhen Mi didn't expect that Zhang Lang would transfer He Da back to Moling, she glanced at him resentfully, her heart was like knocking over the five-flavor miscellaneous bottle, and her heart ached for a while, even she didn't expect that she would say a word, and said, "Does the general really want to match Zhen Mi with Heda?" ”
Zhang Lang finally let out a sigh of relief, Zhen Mi's tone made the situation take a major turn, if he was reckless at this time, he would be a fool, he hurriedly said: "Of course I don't want to." When I risked life and death to take Miss Zhen to Moling, I just wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, hoping to get the favor of the beauty. If I insist on forcing Miss Zhen to marry, wouldn't that be lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot? Besides, who is willing to push such a delicate and didi beauty out? ”
Zhen Mi glanced at Zhang Lang suspiciously, but a sweet feeling surged in her heart, filling her entire heart, she deliberately snorted coldly: "Then I don't know who said it so ruthlessly just now?" ”
Zhang Lang's indifferent expression quickly melted, and his loving eyes filled it, "If Miss Zhen wants to marry, Heda Kid's weight is obviously not enough." ”
Zhen Mixiao said with interest: "Then whose weight is this?" After Zhen Mi said this, she felt that she was a little talkative, and Zhang Lang's tone was obviously talking about herself.
Sure enough, Zhang Lang said in an irresistible tone: "If Miss Zhen wants to marry, then she can only marry General Ben." ”
Absolutely strong, absolutely domineering.
A faint flush appeared on Zhen Mi's face, and the diaphragm in the corner of her heart had already melted, and there was only an indescribable feeling of joy.
