Chapter 170: Central Plains Dading
Since Zhang Wuji was resting, Su Mengqing didn't bother without interest.
So Su Mengqing assisted Zhao Min and others, who entered the city, to clean up the spoils of war this time, and then led the soldiers to Suzhou Creek to salvage his biggest gift to Zhang Wuji.
It was past noon, and Zhang Wuji and Huo Jia were having dinner in the hall.
Huo Jia pointed to the fish in front of the table and said, "This fish is good, sour." But this meat dumpling tastes so greasy, it's hard to eat. Despite what Hoga said, her mouth was not idle. The table full of Jiangnan delicacies all entered her mouth.
Looking at Huo Jia's gobbling up, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
The chefs around Zhang Shicheng are all famous chefs in Qinhuai. The dishes they cook are naturally incomparable to ordinary places.
Zhang Wuji also took a bite of fish at this time, and then he asked, "I don't know if the Central Plains is better in the heart of the Huojia Sect Master, or is it better for you Persia?" β
Huo Jia swallowed his mouth full of food, and then said, "Of course it's the Central Plains." I now finally understand why Daisy likes to stay in the Central Plains so much. You have beautiful silk clothes and so many delicacies. There are also all kinds of melons and fruits. What can be eaten in Persia, except for pilaf, is milk tea and dates. These things are sick to my stomach when I think about it now. Since traveling east with you, I have also eaten a lot of food in the Central Plains. I didn't expect the dishes in the Central Plains to be so rich, I remember that the dishes in Bashu are all spicy and spicy, and the dishes in Guangmingding are similar to those in our Persia. When I was in the palace, I ate these things, but the taste was different. β
Zhang Wuji said with a smile: "This is natural, Huaiyang cuisine is a must in the world." However, if you say that the most unique is the northern Lu cuisine. And the most Lu cuisine should be headed by Confucius. It's just that the north is no longer under our control at the moment, and I can't find you a chef for Lu cuisine. Although we had controlled Qilu before, but because of the internal strife between Mao Gui and Zhao Junyong, the land of Qilu was lost and lost, and after the success of this Northern Expedition, I invite you to enjoy it in the Yansheng Mansion. β
Huo Jia smiled and said: "It's a word, don't let you pay the bill when the time comes!" β
Zhang Wuji gave a carp clip to Huo Jia and said, "You have no jokes." β
This is the first time someone has served Huo Jia with vegetables, I don't know why, Huo Jia has a very special feeling, and this feeling doesn't seem to be what a woman of her age should have.
At this time, a gentle voice came: "It's better to love to eat than delicious, Confucian cuisine is the same as the people of Confucius, they are all 'soft'." Nothing good to eat. β
Zhang Wuji, Huo Jia, and Xiao Zhao followed the prestige. Zhao Min and others were already standing in front of the door.
Zhang Wuji got up to greet him, and said in a smooth tone: "Isn't this our great hero?" General Zhao has worked hard to attack the city this time, and I specially give you a meal with me. β
Zhao Min looked at Zhou Zhiruo beside him and said, "Zhiruo, Brother Wuji wants to find someone to accompany him now, it's so funny." Looks like we're going to train him to be a monarch. β
Seeing that the beauties didn't buy the bills, Zhang Wuji coughed awkwardly, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about something serious." How did we get this time? β
Zhao Min saw that Zhang Wuji was going to talk about business, so he didn't talk about it.
Immediately, Zhao Min took out an account book and handed it to Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji briefly looked at it.
Zhao Min sat in Zhang Wuji's position, she picked up Zhang Wuji's rice bowl, and said while eating: "This harvest is good, Zhang Shicheng's subordinates have all surrendered to us, except for some who really have no combat ability, all the other military horses have been absorbed by us." This time we have 70,000 people. Moreover, the civil and military officials under Zhang Shicheng are also willing to take refuge in us. Zhang Shicheng's 'prime minister' had personally crossed the river to lobby Yangzhou, and the defenders of Gaoyou and Gaoyou had surrendered. Zhang Shicheng was wiped out by us. As for the wealth obtained from the sealing of the treasury, Sister Su is still counting. When the statistics are finished, I will hand it over to you. β
After reading it, Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "I didn't expect us to seize so much military funds, tens of thousands of armor alone, and hundreds of thousands of various weapons. And there is also gunpowder. If we integrate these, and then the Northern Expedition will definitely be overwhelming. β
The woman in the yellow shirt stepped forward at this time and said, "No need, the Central Plains has been recovered by my uncle and Liu Dashuai." β
"What! I haven't yet." Zhang Wuji wanted to say, I haven't "micro-" yet, how can the north be recovered.
The woman in the yellow shirt took out a letter from her sleeve to the joint name of Li Siqi and Liu Futong. This was delivered last night at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles.
Zhang Wuji took the fold and looked at it carefully.
During the period when Zhang Wuji eliminated Zhang Shicheng, the Northern Expedition led by Liu Futong really achieved a breakthrough.
Although Wang Baobao is a famous general in the world, he is the strongest general of the Great Yuan Empire. BUT HE RAN INTO ONE OF THE MOST BUGGY COMBINATIONS.
One is Liu Bowen, a top strategist who is like a god, who is well versed in the inside story of the Yuan Dynasty and has a clever plan.
One is Liu Futong, who has fought fiercely with the Yuan army for many years, is the first in the world, and even defeated many elite Yuan army elites at the beginning of the war. When Liu Futong was weak, he was still able to divide one side across the world, and now he has elite soldiers, strong generals, and top strategists to assist, and he is well versed in the routines of the Yuan army. Therefore, as soon as Wang Baobao fought with him, he was defeated by Liu Futong.
And the last one, although he did not directly participate in the war, also made a lot of contributions. This person is Lu Chang, who was newly promoted by Zhang Wuji.
Although LΓΌ Chang was previously named a assassin, Zhang Wuji recalled him before the war began. He was ordered to take charge of the military department and specialize in transporting supplies for the army. Lu Chang's logistics ability is not under Li Shanchang, and the material operation of the three-way army has been completed excellently.
Originally, the second-line troops led by Li Siqi fought very hard, but Liu Futong's troops were very fast, and they did not choose to gnaw the most difficult Kaifeng, Luoyang. Instead, after bypassing here, it entered from Wuguan and directly inserted into Hangu Pass, Tongguan, and Lantian.
Zhang Liangbi, who was stationed here, was caught off guard by Liu Futong, Li Qisi's pressure disappeared instantly, and then he waved his army to join Liu Futong's troops. In the end, Zhang Liangbi fled, and all the Yuan troops entrenched in Guanzhong were encircled and wiped out by the two armies. Subsequently, the two armies joined forces and surrounded Luoyang and Bianzhou.
And these places were originally the basic plate of Liu Futong and Zhang Wuji, the Ming army was very popular here, and they had the support of the local people and gentry, and it didn't take long for a mutiny to occur in the city. The soldiers of the Han army defending the city opened the city gate and let Liu Futong and Li Qisi's army enter the city.
Wang Baobao was still reciting military books in the palace of Bianzhou City, but Liu Futong killed him at night. In order to escape, Wang Baobao didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and escaped from the siege before he was encircled.
Later, on the north bank of the Yellow River, he joined his father King Ruyang, and after the two armies joined forces, they now confronted the Ming army with Mount Tai as the boundary.
Now the three-way army is only the one led by Zhang Wuji, and it has not yet achieved results in the north.
