Chapter 426: Aiding Chen Cang and Lu Rong with the army

It is said that Zhang Wei and Wang Ping respectively supervised the army to Chang'an to reinforce Wei Yan. Wei Yan succeeded in the sneak attack on Chang'an, but the surrounding places were still in the hands of the Wei army. Zhao Shu ordered the two to go, of course, for the aid of Chang'an, and secondly, to open up the passage between Hanzhong and Chang'an. Xiahou Mao's whole army was annihilated, Chang'an was recovered by Shu Han, and the Wei troops everywhere were already frightened. Wang Ping's department went all the way unhindered and stationed in Meixian County. Zhang Wei went out of Sanguan and went to the city of Chencang, but he did not see the Wei army coming to surrender. sent a horse to report, that Chen Cangshou general surnamed Hao Mingzhao, not only could not surrender, but also released a big word, with him alive for a day, the Han army would not want to pass. Zhang Wei was furious when he heard this, and immediately set up camp and supervised the army to attack. There were about 10,000 people in Zhang Wei's department, and there were only more than 1,000 defenders in Chencang, but Hao Zhao was very good at defending the city, Zhang Wei attacked for three days, but he surrendered nearly 1,000 soldiers, so he had to temporarily suspend his troops and send people to Hanzhong for help.

When Zhang Weijun reported to Hanzhong, Zhao Shu had already gone to Jingzhou, and Huan Yi was in charge of all military affairs in Hanzhong. After Huan Yi got the report, he was supposed to personally lead the troops there, but Hanzhong could not be left without support for the overall situation, and he could not rest assured that he would send others, and he hesitated again and again, and he could not decide on a candidate. Ye Feng heard that he had to fight, since he followed Zhao Shu, he had never led troops to fight, and this time he had this opportunity, so he recommended himself and asked for his life. Huan Yi knew that he was good at martial arts, but he had no experience in leading soldiers, so he was afraid that he would not be able to win, so he refused to agree. And Ye Feng was changed by Empress Xiao Zhang, and he was always depressed, unwilling to stay in Hanzhong anymore, and wanted to lead the troops to fight. Seeing that Huan Yi did not allow it, he went to the general's mansion and begged Lu Rong to find a way to help.

Huan Yi presided over military affairs and did his duty wholeheartedly, Lu Rong didn't want to interfere, but when he heard that the Wei army's guard was Hao Zhao, he remembered that when he persuaded Cao Zhang to mutiny, he had several sides and a little friendship. Knowing that Hao Zhao was very loyal to Cao Zhang, but Cao Zhang was poisoned to death by Cao Pi, Lu Rong suddenly had the heart to persuade him to surrender, so he personally went to Huan Yi's mansion to explain the original situation, and asked him to send Ye Feng to the expedition, and he also had to go with the army.

Ye Feng led the troops to the battle, but Huan Yiyuan was not very willing, and now that Lu Rong was pregnant with Liujia, he actually wanted to go to the front line. Where did Huan Yi dare to agree? If there is something that is long and short, how can he be worthy of Zhao Shu? So he refused again and again. Lu Rong's plea was invalid many times, and finally he had to say: "If the general refuses to order me to go with Ye Feng, I will personally go to the 'Wudang Army' and ask the two generals Tianyi and E Huan to go with me." "The governor of Wudang Army was originally Zhang Wei, but he was ordered to lead the army into battle, and the main general of the battalion was temporarily taken over by Tianyi. Both of them were reckless men, and if they heard that there was a battle to be fought, they would have happily gone there. 'Wu Dangjun' is Zhao Shu's private soldier, and Huan Yi has no right to restrict the two, hearing Lu Rong say this, he can only agree to let Ye Feng lead the troops. Not only did the 'Wudang Army' accompany the expedition, Huan Yi allocated another 3,000 soldiers and horses, led by the Sichuan general Zhang Yi, to follow Lu Rong to fight together. Coupled with the headquarters of Zhang Wei, where Chen Cang is located, the Han army adds up to nearly 20,000 people, even if Chen Cang cannot be defeated, it is expected that there will be no mistakes.

Seeing that Huan Yi agreed, Lu Rong and Ye Feng went back to pack their bags. Zhao Shu is thousands of miles away, and Lu Rong, as his wife, should share his husband's worries, but Guan Tong is still young and afraid that he will not be able to leave his parents, so Lu Rong called Fu Jian in front of him and wanted to ask him to take care of his younger brother at home. Although Fu Jian is only fourteen years old, his special background makes him a young and old, and he rarely talks to people on weekdays, but only follows Ye Feng and others to study hard. After living in the general's mansion for five years, Zhao Shu and Lu Rong treated them very well, but Fu Jian always refused to change his words, and he still shouted "general" and "madam". Zhao Shu persuaded him several times, but he never changed, so he had to give up.

Hearing that Lu Rong had summoned him, Fu Jian was originally playing with Guan Tong, so he hurriedly pulled him to see Lu Rong. Although Fu Jian was indifferent to others, he knew that Guan Tong also had both parents dead, so he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the same disease, and treated him even more like a brother. When the two came to Lu Rong's room, they saw that she was packing up her things, Fu Jiannai stepped forward and asked, "Madame is going to travel far?" ”

When Lu Rong saw his two brothers coming, he nodded and said, "Exactly, I have something to leave the mansion for a while, and there are only two of you in the mansion." Fu Jian, you are the elder brother, but you have to take good care of the younger brother. Uncle Huan will also come to visit you often. "Fu Jian has never liked to talk to people, and Zhao Shu and Lu Rong are not in the house, so there is not much difference to him at all. It's just that Guan Tong hasn't seen his father for a few days, and now he heard that his mother is going to travel far away, so he can't help but wrinkle his nose, tears roll in his eyes, and say, "Mother, I want to be with you." ”

Lu Rong saw that Guan Tong was going to cry or not, so he hurriedly picked him up and said with a smile: "Tong'er, my mother has something urgent to do, and she will come back in three or two days at most." Tong'er is reading and writing with her brother at home, and she will bring you fruits to eat when her mother comes back. "Guan Tong is young and has never left his parents, where is he willing to agree at this moment? hugged Lu Rong's neck tightly and said, "No, I'm going to be with my mother." Lu Rong had no choice but to pat Guan Tong and coax him, but Guan Tong refused to let go, crying and making trouble.

"Guan Tong, come down." Fu Jian saw that Guan Tong had no choice but to stir up Lu Rong, so he stepped forward and hugged him down. Guan Tong is most afraid of this brother on weekdays, and he was yelled at by Fu Jian like this, but he was really honest. Fu Jian stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his face, and said in a low voice: "How many times have I told you, a man's husband, you can't shed tears casually." You always love to cry like this, and you don't want to be a general in the future? Guan Tongchang was around Huan Yi, Ye Feng and other generals, and his young heart had long decided that being a general was the most majestic thing, so he wiped his nose and said, "I don't cry, I want to be a general." But he looked at Lu Rong and said, "But when I become a general, I still want to be with my mother." ”

Lu Rong was made to laugh and cry by his last sentence, and it was easy to hold back: "Okay, I still have to pack my things." Fu Jian, you take your younger brother down first. Fu Jian refused to leave and asked, "Where is Madam going?" Lu Rong refused to let the two know that they were going to fight, but said with a smile: "I'm just going outside the city for a few days, and I'll be back soon......"

"Madame, don't lie to me." Fu Jian interrupted Lu Rong's words and said, "When Uncle Ye came to look for Madame in the morning, I heard a few words. General Zhang Wei is also really, even a mere Chen Cang can't be defeated, do you still have to ask your wife to go in person? If it were me, I wouldn't bother everyone at all. ”

Although Lu Rong admired Fu Jian's confident tone, he couldn't condone him to despise Zhang Wei and the other generals so much, so he scolded in a low voice: "At such a young age, how can you make such wild words? Not yet. When Fu Jian heard Lu Rong's words, he knew that what he said was true, and Lu Rong was indeed going to Chen Cang, so he said, "Madam, I want to go with you." ”

"You?" Lu Rong suddenly realized that Fu Jian was no longer the child who carried a dagger and wanted to assassinate Zhao Shu. With a firm gaze, Lu Rong changed what was originally "what nonsense are you talking about", but the exit was: "Why do you want to go with me at such a young age?" Fu Jian raised the sword he often wore at his waist sideways, and said loudly: "That's what I rely on." Without waiting for Lu Rong to say more, Fu Jian had already strode outside the room and said, "Please ask Madame for advice." As he spoke, he rehearsed on his own.

Guan Tong originally had some tears that had not been wiped away, but at this moment he shouted again: "Oh, my brother is going to practice martial arts again, and my brother is practicing martial arts again." Lu Rong also walked out of the room, and saw that Fu Jian was using a sword, and he was very lawful, but he didn't expect that this child, who usually doesn't like to talk, had actually practiced such skills. When Fu Jian put away his sword and stood still, Lu Rong couldn't help but shout: "Okay." Fu Jian then asked, "Then the lady promised to take me with you?" ”

Lu Rong shook his head and said, "Although your martial arts are not bad, but the war is dangerous, I don't dare to take you with you." And Liutong'er is alone in the house, and I don't feel at ease. Guan Tong seemed to be suddenly sensible at this time, blinked his eyes, looked at Fu Jian, and then at Lu Rong, and said, "Mother, Tong'er is at home alone, let my brother go with you." Lu Rongzheng felt strange, so he listened to Guan Tong again: "When my brother becomes a general first, I will also become a general in the future." As he spoke, he tried his best to look like an adult and said to Fu Jian: "Brother must protect my mother well, and then make more meritorious contributions, and my father will definitely make you a general when he comes back." ”

Fu Jian looked at Guan Tong's eyes very gratefully, bowed to Lu Rong, and said, "The man is serving the field. I knew that the general and his wife treated me very well and refused to let me go on a risky battle. But if I only enjoy myself in the palace all day long, and cannot make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, my father will not only blame me for my incompetence, but also blame the general and his wife for not giving me a chance. Lu Rong looked at the perseverance on Fu Jian's face, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, I promise you." As he spoke, he smiled again: "It's just that the general came back to blame me, and you have to intercede for me." Seeing that Lu Rong agreed, Fu Jian said, "Thank you, madam," and happily pulled Guan Tong down to prepare.

On the second day, Ye Feng really led an army of 8,000 to Chencang, and Lu Rong and Fu Jian were in the army. In less than one day, the army reached the city of Chencang. Zhang Wei first heard that Ye Feng was a general, so he was quite unimpressed, and after entering the barracks, he found that Lu Rong was also in the army. After raising the account, he asked, "How did Madame come here?" "Lu Rong is pregnant, and everyone knows that it is indeed a bit unbelievable to let a woman who is pregnant with Liujia come to the front line.

Lu Rong understood Zhang Wei's doubts, so he smiled and said: "I used to have an old relationship with Hao Zhao, and this time I came here to persuade him to surrender to the Han Dynasty, so as not to fight again." Zhang Wei said: "In the opinion of the last general, Hao Zhao is loyal to Cao Wei, and I am afraid that he will not surrender easily." Lu Rong nodded and said, "What the general said is true, but you can try it first, even if Hao Zhao refuses to surrender, there will be no loss to our army." If he refuses to turn back, it will not be too late to attack the city. Seeing that Lu Rong didn't change his mind, Zhang Wei had to say: "Then arrange this." Then he turned and went out of the account.
