Chapter 162: The Sorrow of the Latecomer

The three princes, in the order of Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and Zhu Hui, came out of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Mao smiled at Zhu Fu, but the smile on his face had a different meaning: "Your kid is quite competitive, if you go to the northwest, you may be able to get a lord back, and others will not be able to cultivate it in a few lifetimes." ”

Zhu Fu smiled and arched his hand: "Old Zhang, you smiled, the dog is ...... He has always been loyal to his heart, and he has never forgotten His Majesty's cultivation of him. ”

This is the case.

It's very dramatic.

Zhu Hui on the side couldn't listen anymore.

Even if Zhu Feng's kid hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he knows what kind of goods he is, and what kind of loyalty and His Majesty cultivated, who are he fooling? My boys are better than him.

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "The foundation is good, it is better to be good, it was said that the civil official is someone in the court who is good to be an official, but now it seems that this soldier wants the Son of Heaven to have talents around him who are good at meritorious service." ”

"Ahem......"

Originally, Zhu Fu thought that Zhang Mao was saying good things, how could he listen to this with a sour meaning?

Zhu Fu looked at Zhang Mao sideways.

I thought, don't think I don't know that your old man Zhang sent his grandson to Zhang Bingkuan as a disciple early, you have done too much than me, why are you still mocking me now?

Do you regret not letting Zhang Bingkuan recommend his grandson to the northwest?

It's too late to regret it! Miss this village without this store.

Zhu Hui followed the two "big guys" and asked curiously: "This Zhang Bingkuan, ...... What exactly is it capable of? ”

Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu were still arguing over whether to tie up Zhang Zhou's matter just now, and after listening to Zhu Hui's words, the two of them looked at this stupid big man who didn't know what was going on.

The eyes of the two seemed to say, we are smart people talking, you just lean on the side.

"It's nothing, Zhang Bingkuan, Gongsheng, I know astronomy and geography, that's all." Zhang Mao said with a smile.

"Oh."

Zhu Hui nodded.

I'm also thinking about it.

What are these two pretending to be in front of me? Don't think I can't hear it, the second son of the Chengguo family may be knighted, which has a lot to do with that Zhang Bingkuan.

Are you afraid that I will also go to Zhang Bingkuan and deliberately make him very ordinary?

If you don't say that you generations of princes are like human spirits, I believe you are ghosts.

"I said Dongyang, Your Majesty asked you to go to the northwest, it was for you to take the Shenji Battalion there, this time in the battle, the mighty heavenly gunpowder has played a miraculous effect, and the Shenji Battalion will definitely be more frequent in the northwest in the future, and the effect will be greater, you are in a good time."

Zhang Mao aimed at Zhu Hui again.

Zhu Huixin said, no matter how awesome the Shenji Battalion is, it is also selected from the 12th regiment battalion, and in terms of military power, it is better to supervise a battalion of the 12th regiment battalion, and how many people can you bring to the northwest?

Zhu Hui smiled: "Isn't the battle over?" In the northwest, it is just to deal with some aftermath, and it is not the turn of a tough battle. ”

"Really?" Zhang Mao said, "Then where is Wang Weining, who will be the chief military officer under him, and the status will be the same after he comes back?" Maybe it's your turn to be the Admiral Jingying. Wang Weining is quite good at fighting, he leads the troops into battle, and no one can accept it, but if he has a great ability, that is, he can climb, this skill is not something that everyone can learn. ”

“……”

Zhu Hui was speechless for an instant.

Feelings, you old man Zhang took gunpowder today, who do you see?

I, Zhu, didn't mess with you today, why are you mad at me? I was ordered to go to the northwest to be a chief military officer and give people a hand, what are you doing against me?

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "Elder Zhang, in fact, I think that this chief military officer should be handed over to Ling Lang." ”

"Don't!" Zhang Mao waved his hand, "Don't think that the old man means something else, the old man's son is still recuperating at home, and he can't get on horseback." The frontier defense in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you upstarts, and the old decay is about to die, so I dare not compare with you! Let's go! ”

While saying that he was old, but when he took a step to leave the two of them, the cadence and stride length were not ambiguous at all.

He ...... What does he mean by that? Zhu Hui looked confused and pointed to Zhang Mao's back.

Zhu Fu sighed: "Can't you see this? He is afraid that the rise of the national power of other families will affect the prominence of his old Zhang family, who will let his children and grandchildren not stand up in the next generation? ”

"I see."

Zhu Hui nodded knowingly, but smiled.

From Zhang Mao's grandfather Zhang Yu, to his father Zhang Fu, and then to Zhang Mao himself, they are all the only people among the nobles, but the Xungui thing, in addition to talking about the family heritage, must also be able to produce heroes.

This will make the emperor want to give Zhu Feng a knighthood, and let Zhu Hui go to the northwest to follow Wang Yueming.

On the other hand, Zhang Mao's currently surviving eldest son Zhang Rui was only in his thirties when he had soft foot disease, the eldest grandson Zhang Lun was still young, and Zhang Mao himself was also old.

The reason why Zhang Mao said those yin and yang weird words.

It's all because Old Man Zhang is really in danger.

……

……

Eccentric offset.

The war had ended for a day and a night, and the night had entered the hinterland of the steppe to investigate the movements of the Tatar soldiers and horses.

Since the Ming Dynasty took back the Hetao in the Chenghua period, for the first time, there was a situation of re-entering the grassland, and even dominating Mongolia, all of which could only be achieved if Wang Yue was in charge.

But Wang Yue ......

There was no intention of marching into the grasslands at all.

The battle of the head pass actually made him physically and mentally exhausted, after all, he was not young, and he was old and strong enough to hold on to the whole hard battle, and he felt that he was lucky not to die on the front line.

As for marching into the grassland, sealing the wolf or something...... That is not Wang Yue's goal in life.

He had one purpose on his deathbed.

My old Wang's Earl of Weining, get it back!

On the afternoon of 15 February, Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui's men and horses rushed to the Bitou Pass without stopping, and when he came, he found that there were men and horses stationed everywhere inside and outside the Bitou Pass...... Mo said that it was the soldiers and horses who had withdrawn before, even those people and horses who were close to the pass had galloped over, the meat was gone, and the soup was very fragrant.

When he turned back to the battle report, Wang Yue could mention that they came to the aid in order to ensure the stability of the deviant pass, and maybe they could be recorded in the credit book.

"Pingjiangbo, are you back?"

Chen Rui just dismounted from the front of the pass, and looked up and sighed that he hadn't seen it for three days, how could the city walls and city gate buildings be blown up like this.

A team of people came over, led by Wu Pingbo Chen Xun.

Chen Xun's situation was better than Chen Rui's, he had already arrived at the Partial Pass three hours after the end of the battle, and Chen Rui was more than a day behind him.

Chen Rui said with a straight face: "The general heard that the little Tatar prince was disturbing Western Xia, and he specially led troops to Pingkou, but he heard that there was a war in the remote pass halfway, so he could only give up the distance and seek the nearest. ”

"Huh."

Chen Xun smiled bitterly.

The heart said that you would really say, why don't you say that you are afraid of the fire sieve, deliberately run so fast, afraid that the fire sieve will hold you?

Chen Rui pointed to a large iron pot that was cooking things by the ruins at the city gate, and said, "What is that?" ”

Chen Xun said helplessly: "When Wang Junmen heard that you were back, he specially asked people to cook wine here, saying that he wanted to drink hot wine with you." ”

"He ......"

Chen Rui almost jumped like thunder.

Didn't I just run a little faster and come back a little later when I ran away with my troops in the past two days? As for boiling hot wine at the gates of the city, you deliberately mock me?

As he was talking, a general came and informed: "Two generals, Wei Ningbo is invited." ”

As soon as they heard Wang Yue called "Wei Ningbo", Chen Rui and Chen Xun knew that they were Wang Yue's descendants, anyway, in the hearts of those who admired Wang Yue, even if Wang Yue was not Wei Ningbo, they would treat him as him.

Especially in this northwest place, the world only knows that there is Wang Weining, but does not know that there is Wang Yue.

……

……

The big tent of the Chinese army in the city.

When Chen Rui arrived, he found that the Chinese army's big tent was just temporarily built next to the General Military Officer's Mansion, and the General Military Mansion had been bombed to the point that there were pits everywhere, and there were no ruins left, even though the war had ended for sixteen hours, there was still blood everywhere.

How tragic this battle was, Chen Rui could guess it just by looking at the scene along the way.

Earlier, he regretted not coming back, but after entering the city, he felt that it was good that he didn't come back.

What the fuck is this......

I am afraid that I will follow Wang Yue to charge into battle, and I will have merit but no life.

"Zhijian, you can count it, the old man has a person like you, and he feels much more down-to-earth, and the Tatars should not dare to do it again."

When Wang Yue greeted Chen Rui, he spoke politely.

It's as if he didn't know anything about cooking wine at the gates.

Chen Rui hugged his fists and said: "The last general is going to ......"

"Okay, what did you want to do before, the old man didn't want to ask, you are the chief military officer of the partial pass, and the old man still depends on you to guard the town, I don't think Your Majesty will send you to Ningxia, I think that the little prince of Tatar, knowing that there is a war here, will he continue to love the war? Now think about it, and send troops. ”

As Wang Yue spoke, he pulled Chen Rui to a map.

The map is very detailed and was drawn by Zhang Zhou.

Chen Rui hadn't seen this map before, because Wang Yue had never intended to reuse him...... This kind of opportunity to grab credit, Wang Yue would rather give it to Zhu Feng than give the opportunity to someone like Chen Rui.

Isn't it just to blow up the city with gunpowder first, and then send troops in to harvest it?

Who is not on?

Your Chen Rui has made great contributions, so the emperor will discount the credit of my Wang, military merit is a piece of cake, and whoever eats more must eat less.

And who knows if you, Chen Rui, will retreat because he is afraid of the fire sieve?

How can we take such a senseless risk in fighting such a tough battle?

Chen Xun asked beside him: "Wang Junmen, is this going to send troops to the grassland?" ”

Because Chen Xun hadn't heard Wang Yue mention it before, why did Wang Yue say that he would send troops to the grassland as soon as Chen Rui came back?

Could it be that Wang Yue is waiting to give Chen Rui a chance?

Wang Yue beckoned, and then Zhu Feng, who was standing on the side, handed over a command flag to Wang Yue, and Wang Yue handed it to Chen Rui: "Zhijian, old and old, this kind of thing of sending troops to the north is powerless, you haven't got decent military merits this time, follow-up pursuit and other things, you have to be the chief military officer to take command!" ”

When Chen Rui heard this, he was very excited.

I ran away from the battle, and Wang Laodu still wanted to give me a chance to make meritorious contributions?

On second thought, no, this will be the Tatars have been running for more than a day and a night, and now let me chase it, who can I chase?

You old fellow......

It's okay to scold people without dirty words, trick others, and still want others to remember your good?
