On the road to Lulongsai, Cai did ride a Puma and followed Zhang Chong.

Maybe it's because he can gallop with the king again, Cai Qu's depression in the past few days has to dissipate a lot.

A year has passed since the decisive battle of Zhongren Pavilion, and during this year, the development of the Taishan Army has been very smooth.

When the princes in the south were still in fierce turmoil, the Taishan army had firmly occupied Hebei and successively cleared the thieves in the territory.

With the support of Hebei alone, our king's name is already quite confident.

Not only that, the various departments of the Taishan Army have also developed and grown a lot in this year, and now the total number of soldiers of the five field armies must be 70,000 or 80,000, plus more than 10,000 cavalry, it can be said that it is a real support of 100,000 people, rampant in the world.

But this year, Cai was not all satisfied, and what made him most depressed was that the king seemed to care too much about those scholars.

Since the king became king, the king has spent more time in the Taiji Hall than in the past in the army.

And he is no longer surrounded by old brothers like him and Guo Zu, but all kinds of scholars and literati.

Cai really didn't understand, like that frustrated teacher, who was just a defeated dog of our army in the past, but now he can leap into the door, and he can still yell at them, the old brothers of the Taishan Army.

Not only is it frustrated, but as far as Cai Qu himself can see, there have been more scholars in the army in recent years, and in the past, Changshi was selected from the army, and now it has also been taken away by those literati.

Those literati don't know how to fight, and they say sour things to them all day long, and they really don't like to listen to them.

Cai Qu himself also knew that he could fight a war, and the rest was blind, but he could also see that those scholars who defected to the Taishan Army were not pure.

What do these people say about recognizing the ideals of the Taishan Army, and they also want to set up a life for the people, but Cai really wants to ask, why when he and Wang Shang were fighting in the Central Plains, these people did not approve, and when he and Wang Shang were trapped in Dongping Tomb, these people did not approve either.

Why did they establish a foundation and lay down Hebei, and these began to rise out one by one?

So, who doesn't know this?

Moreover, Cai did find a thing, that is, most of these scholars are from the Han family, and after deviating from the Han family, they vigorously advocated around the king that the king would become a big thing sooner, and said all day long that he would beat Yuan Shao. To destroy Cao Cao, to attack the two capitals.

Isn't this battle for Liao the most fierce opposition from these people?

What do they think, we old brothers really don't know?

Isn't it just that in the future, there will be a dragon merit, and he will be a meritorious minister, and he will be a marquis and worship the prime minister? Seal the wife and the shadow?

So, again, who doesn't know this.

But the problem is, our Taishan army was defeated by the king, and whoever the king wants to fight, we will fight whomever he wants, and you defeated dogs can put their beaks?

I really don't look at my identity!

Besides, our warriors are fighting for life and death on the front line, but we don't let you literati get rich!

Thinking of this, Cai Qu couldn't help but sigh and said secretly:

"It's better to be in the past, our old brothers are all of one heart."

But Cai Qu just sighed here, and Zhang Zheng, who was in front of him, turned his head and asked:

"Ah Qo, the big war is coming, what are you sighing for! Do you want to be the bride of Yecheng? ”

Cai Qu's face suddenly became embarrassed.

He just married his daughter-in-law at the beginning of the year, and he knows the roots, and the elder brother in the family is also an old brother who has fought side by side with Cai Qu. Marrying such a daughter-in-law, he slept soundly at night.

He didn't want to be like Na Ding Sheng, looking for a daughter of a Han official to be his daughter-in-law.

I really don't know that Ding Sheng has so much blood on his hands, so he doesn't worry about it at night?

is also very satisfied with the bride, Cai Cheng really misses it a little, but he is not a drunken woman, he still has to follow the king to continue the war!

So for the king's ridicule, Cai Chengli shook his head, and he said in a muffled voice:

"Your Majesty, I think it's fun to fight with the king!"

Cai Qu couldn't stand Guo Zu when he heard this, and he said sourly:

"Isn't it happy to be with the bride?"

That's right, Guo Zu is sour, because he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet! He didn't understand, wasn't he more handsome than Cai Qu, an iron beast? He Guo Zu feels that he is not as good as Zhao Yun, but where is our appearance not fragrant?

But it's not true that Guo Zu can't find his daughter-in-law, with Guo Zu ramming the right lieutenant in front of the military hall, I don't know how many people want to send a female stamper!

But Guo Zu didn't want it, because these people were the daughters of those officials in Hebei, and he, like Cai Qu, only tended to look for them within the old brothers!

However, the old brothers generally come from the lowest level of society, and they are also the most affected group of female homicides, so these people have fewer sisters.

In addition, the bad is also bad on Guo Zu's handsome face, and the aesthetics of the old brothers still think that Cai is more reliable, but they don't dare to marry their sister to Guo Zu.

Cai did listen to Guo Zu's crooked acidity, and replied seriously:

"It is also happy to be with the bride, but this joy is different from being with the king. Hey, I don't understand what I said, what do I have to say to a person who doesn't have a daughter-in-law. ”

After saying this, Cai did feel annoyed.

At this moment, Guo Zu couldn't hold back, and his white face turned red.

In this game, Guo Zu was defeated!

Seeing his humming second general like this, Zhang Chong couldn't help laughing.

Sometimes when he sees Guo Zu, he can't help but wonder if he has an ancestor in his name, and he is handsome.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chong wanted to name his youngest son, the child just born to Da Zhen, Zhang Zu.

But Zhang Chong couldn't help laughing again, his son, is it important whether he is handsome or not?

The ridicule of Cai Qu and Guo Zu alleviated the fatigue of concurrently traveling, and also made Zhang Chong once again feel the arbitrariness of the brothers together in the past.

It is said that as the Tarzan army gets bigger and bigger, this feeling is becoming less and less.

In the past, things were quite simple, who was the enemy, find the enemy, destroy the enemy, and then it was just a matter of repeating it.

But now it's not, the plate is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more Taishan troops, but this matter is getting more and more complicated.

For example, the question of who is the enemy is is complicated. Those external princes are naturally enemies, this is clear at a glance, but are there any enemies within the Taishan army?

This Zhang Chong did not dare to give an affirmative answer. Now there are so many people in the Taishan Army, how many have he seen Zhang Chong, can he give this judgment?

But Zhang Chong knew that as time went by, there would eventually be an enemy inside.

Let's talk about Guo Zu's daughter-in-law, Zhang Chong naturally knows that there were clansmen in the Zhao family who wanted to marry Guo Zu before, and there were a lot of marriages, Guo Zu and Zhang Chong had fought for so many years, and the rewards together were only so much.

But Guo Zu did not agree.

Of course, Zhang Chong knew that the reason why Guo Zu disagreed, that is, he felt that he was the rampager next to him Zhang Chong, and the position was too important, so he wanted to avoid suspicion.

Although the clansmen of the Zhao clan of Zhao County have divided their fields and households, the bonds between the clans will not end so soon.

The economic basis is to determine the superstructure, but this takes time.

Zhang Chong knew that there were not a few examples like Guo Zu, among which Cai Qu had once looked for him, saying that Cai Yong's old man's clan had found Cai Qu and said that he wanted to confirm Cai's ancestors and recognize the genealogy of the Cai clan.

At that time, Cai did not refuse, but instinctively felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he asked Zhang Chong during a period of time when he was on duty.

Zhang Chong gave Cai Qu this sentence at that time:

"Who we are is who we are, how you Cai Qu is not who you recognized as your ancestor, nor who you have become. We have to understand where we come from, don't be a human being for two days and forget about our roots. ”

Cai did not dare to speak again.

Later, Zhang Chong knew that Cai did return to the mansion and beat up Cai Yong's clansmen. Cai Yong didn't know who picked him up, and he choked Cai a few times.

So you look at the old brothers of the Taishan Army now, either they are married to the daughters of the Shi family, or they are on the family tree. And he couldn't say anything more about it.

After all, on the surface, these former children of the scholar clan are now just ordinary people. And the reason why the brothers below love to marry the children of the scholar clan is also because these women are generally educated and more beautiful.

You can't Zhang Chong marry Cai's daughter, Liu's daughter, and Zhen's daughter, and then don't allow the old brothers to find a good mother-in-law!

It doesn't make sense.

And Zhang Chong also knows that the old brothers love to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, in fact, because they have no ancestral memory and no genealogy. And recognized the ancestor, not to mention that he also became an identity, and there will be a picture on the scene in the future.

All of the above are the situation of the old brothers of the Taishan Army today, and they are still chaotic.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chong shook his head, put these troubles behind him again, and just wanted to talk to the rampage officials around him.

But Zhang Chong didn't want to do these things, and Cai did take the initiative to persuade him.

He whispered to Zhang Chong:

"Your Majesty, I think it's much better that Your Majesty has spent less time in the army this year than in the past."

Because the sound of the horse's hooves was too loud, Zhang Chong didn't hear it clearly for the first time, and it was only when Cai Qu shouted again at the top of his throat that Zhang Chong heard it clearly.

Then Zhang Chong was stunned.

Why is there less time in the military? Zhang Chong subconsciously wanted to give a reason, and even there were ten or eight reasons for this, and even all of them made sense.

But Zhang Chong was still stunned, why did he spend less time in the army.

In the end, Zhang Chong didn't explain much, just patted Cai Qu's shoulder and said seriously:

"Well, I'll walk around the army a lot later. Not to mention, the big pot of rice in the army has not been eaten for a few days. ”

Then Cai did smile innocently and nodded vigorously.

In the end, Zhang Chong also smiled.

……

When Zhang Chong rushed to Lulongsai with three thousand horsemen, one person and three horses, Zhang Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly welcomed Zhang Chong into the fortress.

Before Zhang Chong could enter the city, Xu Huang, who was left behind, rushed over.

Xu is too big a thing, Xu Huang's legs were a little weak when he got off the horse.

He ran to Zhang Chong and said as soon as he came:

"Your Majesty, Asho is sick!"

Zhang Chong was stunned, of course he knew who Xu Huang was talking about, naturally it was his third brother Zhang Shao.

Since Zhang Shao joined the army, he has been brave and good at fighting, and he has experienced military exploits, so don't look at his age, but he is very popular with the soldiers in the army.

As the general of the Flying Tiger Army, he naturally rushed to Lulongsai with the assault.

Then just as he was about to get to Lulongsai, Zhang Shao fell ill, and began to swing without warning.

At that time, Xu Huang was behind, and saw a group of people stopping on the military road to guard someone, and that person was still lying under a gentle slope, Xu Huang went over curiously.

When he saw that it was the king's third brother Zhang Shao who fell to the ground, Xu Huang's soul took a risk, but he knew that there was no way to take him on the march at this time, so Xu Huang could only let a person who knew a little medical skills stay to take care of Zhang Shao, and then Pegasus ran towards Lu Longsai.

And when Zhang Chong learned that his third brother was sick and sick, he immediately asked such a question:

"Are there so many people in the army like Ashao?"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted:

"Not much, I saw Ashao fall ill along the way."

Hearing this, Zhang Chong directly ordered Zhang Dan:

"You ask for a convoy of horses and wagons from Sene, and then go and take Ashao to the nearby dock wall, and then take care of it."

Then, Zhang Chong remembered something again, hurriedly walked back to his red horse, and pulled out a box from the blanket on the horse's back.

He handed this to Xu Huang and said to him:

"This was stuffed to me by his sister-in-law when I was about to go on the expedition, saying what is Liaodong old ginseng, you can use it, and then call Lao Xu of the medical battalion to go with him, he is good at this."

Xu Huang nodded vigorously, and then followed one of Zhang Dan's subordinates and went to the Senei branch to use the carriage and horse.

Zhang Dan glanced at Xu Huang, and when he saw Zhang Chong's eyes, he never left, of course he knew that Wang Shang was anxious at this time.

So, Zhang Dan said:

"Your Majesty, if you don't bring Ashao into Sene, you can take better care of it."

But Zhang Chong immediately shook his head:

"It's still uncertain if Ashao has contracted the plague and can't stay in Guannai. Not to mention this, I am very short on time, how many people are there in Luronsei now, and what is the state! ”

Zhang Dan sighed secretly, and then returned his mind to the war, and he reported to Zhang Chong:

"Now, there are two thousand horsemen who have arrived in Sene, and because Sene has plenty of food, this will be full of horses."

Zhang Chong said without hesitation:

"Give me all the horses of Seine, and then replenish the five thousand horsemen with ten days' dry rations. Also, what is the Wuhuan people in Liucheng doing now? ”

Zhang Dan hurriedly replied:

"Recently, there was information from Wuyan, saying that the Wuhuan tribes who had been nomadic in various places in the past few days were rushing in the direction of Liucheng. Did they find out about the movement of our army? ”

Zhang Chong shook his head, and didn't say that he still didn't know, he only replied:

"In short, the couch of Liucheng doesn't seem to be restless, since this person has so many thoughts, then I will take the soldiers over and ask him in person to see whose dog he is."

Zhang Chong saw that Zhang Dan was still about to speak and stopped, so he scolded:

"If there's anything else, we'll talk as we go."

After speaking, Zhang Chong dragged Zhang Dan and left, but Zhang Dan suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, the last general is guilty, the guide who led our army out of the fortress has just been assassinated in the early hours of this morning."

"What did you say?"
