"Mr. Zhang, don't mind, this Yang Hanlin shouldn't have deliberately thrown his face, as far as our family knows, he is still very filial piety."

When he came out to the carriage, Xiao Jing found that the Yang brothers had entered the courtyard, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Zhou in a comforting tone.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "If I minded, I wouldn't have come with Gonggong Xiao to see him." ”

Let Yang Tinghe be grateful for kindness? It seems to be a little difficult, and Zhang Zhou is not ignorant of current affairs.

But he just likes to dangle in front of Yang Tinghe.

I like to see you Yang Tinghe have prejudices against me, but you can't help me.

Xiao Jing said: "When he returns to Sichuan and Shu, sees the old mother on the sickbed, and knows the good intentions of Mr., he will be grateful to you." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Zhou sighed, "If I can help, I should know what illness his mother has, since I don't know, at most let him go back to see his mother for the last time." ”

Xiao Jing said with admiration: "You are still magnanimous, knowing that he is so unappreciative, and reminding him, it's a pity that he ...... Alas! He did his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and with his mother's age, many things were difficult to change. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Even if he knew that Yang Tinghe's mother was about to die, it was likely that Yang Tinghe's old mother was gone when he arrived home, and whether he could see the last one was a matter of words.

When he came to Daming, he couldn't save everyone, Zhang Zhou was also pondering, this should be considered a good deed, right?

……

……

Liaodong, Ningyuan, March 27.

The battle reports from all over the surrounding area flew like snowflakes to the hands of Zhu Feng, the chief military officer, Zhu Feng had just finished a military meeting, and then a bunch of battle reports came, which overwhelmed him.

With his ability, he is obviously not very suitable for this kind of pre-war preparation and mobilization, but fortunately, Wang Qiong has been helping him take care of it.

"Wang Langzhong, you are really a Zhenshan stone in the army." Even Zhang Yong, who was above the top before, couldn't help but praise Wang Qiong in the face of such a hard-working and resentful Wang Qiong.

At the beginning, Zhang Yong looked down on Wang Qiong, a household who had not yet risen.

But when he discovered Wang Qiong's ability, he had to put away his contempt, and now Zhang Yong can also see that even if Zhu Feng has the emperor and Zhang Zhou behind him to support him, this is still a second ancestor who is difficult to achieve great things, and at a critical time, someone like Wang Qiong needs to come out to support the scene.

The group went up to the city.

At this time, it was noon, Zhu Feng looked at the telescope for a long time, and he didn't see any trouble.

Zhang Yong reminded: "An Bianbo, didn't you report it?" Di Yi is still more than thirty miles away from Ningyuan's Guancheng, if he sends troops now, he may be in time, I am afraid that they will leave after plundering thirty miles away, and then they will be impeached by the patrol imperial history You meet Di Yi and do not enter, I am afraid that it will be ......"

Zhang Yong was not embarrassed to scare Zhu Feng more.

Even if the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei did not approach Ningyuan City now, if you knew that Di Yi did not send troops, and then Di Yi looted people and animals, then you would be unlucky.

With the backers of the emperor and Zhang Zhou, you are also in vain.

Maybe because you took refuge in the emperor and Zhang Zhou, the civil officials will be even more unkind to you.

Zhu Feng said: "But Brother Zhang didn't let me send troops, so he asked me to wait at the head of the city, saying that the opportunity would be sent to me." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yong was also shocked.

How can you help people to this extent? Is Zhang Zhou stupid, or has he never seen the cruelty of the frontier war?

"This ...... Anbianbo ...... We don't know what to say, but you also saw the first battle, right? That was also said by Mr. Zhang, how Wei Ninghou and the soldiers lured the enemy into the depths at that time, and how to surprise them, you were also personally involved...... This has to wait for Di Yi to come to the door...... Isn't it a bit ......?"

Zhang Yongdu didn't know how to persuade this "little fool".

You're really a good baby, what did Zhang Zhou tell you to do, what did you do, right?

If something goes wrong with your relationship, you will carry the black pot...... No, it's us who carry the black pot together, what's the matter without him?

At this time, Wang Qiong took Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others to the city.

"An Bianbo, Hu Lu is here, are we still cowering now? If something happens, I'm afraid that I will be responsible! The decree just made this year is that if people and animals are plundered in the locality, they will be reported to the public, and if more than 10 people are hidden, they will be dismissed from their posts and sent to prison. Don't let these people wipe your ass......"

Ren Liang is the leader of the three armies in Liaodong, and he was polite to Zhu Feng before.

But now that the people of Duoyan Sanwei are really killed, and Zhu Feng only guards the city and does nothing, this will make the officials and generals of the Liaodong system feel that your level as an airborne chief military officer is only like this, will you be a turtle with a shrunken head? We're not going to take it, are we?

Wang Qiong said: "Father-in-law Ren, about the matter before the army, it is still based on An Bianbo's opinion. ”

Wang Qiong saw that in fact, Ren Liang just wanted to compete for command, if he had merit, Ren Liang wanted to take it himself, but if he was at fault, he wanted to put the responsibility on Zhu Feng.

As a civil official, Wang Qiong has extraordinary insights, and he can penetrate Ren Liang's careful thinking at a glance, so he reminds him like this.

Ren Liang said impatiently: "Wang Shangcha, dare to ask you, in the matter of this army, are you in charge, or An Bianbo has the final say?" Does it mean that if the three armies stay in the city and don't come out, watching Hu Lu loot the surroundings of Ningyuan and leave, the court will be held accountable, and you and this An Bianbo will bear it together? ”

Here, Wang Qiong was frowning and wanted to explain a few sentences, but was stopped by Zhu Feng.

"Father-in-law." Zhu Feng still said with a childish and nervous look on his face, "Now that the enemy has not yet arrived in the city, since he is not in a hurry to send troops, can't he wait for them to get closer?" ”

Qian Ying said in a mocking tone next to him: "An Bianbo, aren't you smiling?" It's all twenty or thirty miles away from the city, and it's not even under the city? ”

"Wait!"

Zhu Feng was also numb.

I'm thinking in my heart, I can't help it, no matter how far the range of the artillery is, I can't hit twenty miles away, right? Why don't you wait for Duoyan Sanwei to kill two miles away from the city, and then I will play a good role? If you go out with a gun cart...... It's too dangerous to do this, Brother Zhang didn't let me do it, so I continued to wait.

……

……

Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others went down to the city with angry looks.

Even Wang Qiong could feel that the soldiers at the head of the city were very hostile to them, and Zhang Yong next to him was embarrassed to look at those soldiers.

You were sent by the emperor to defend against Hu Lu, and as a result, your choice when you encountered the enemy was no different from ours, that is, to stay in the city and watch the situation, and in the beautiful name of "wait a minute", wait for your grandmother's legs.

If you don't fight again, Hu Lu will run away.

"An Bianbo doesn't have to worry, because he has taken precautions in advance, and he has been notified to all parts of Ningyuan in the past ten days, and there will be no scattered people outside the city pass, even if Duoyan Sanwei comes, he can't take away people and animals." Wang Qiong comforted.

Zhu Feng looked up at the distance, and said with a look of self-reproach: "But if the seedlings in Tuntian are destroyed, I will also be to blame." ”

"Oops!"

When Zhang Yong heard it, he could.

Do you still know how to be compassionate and compassionate? It seems that you are still a capable minister who cares for the people and cares about the world.

Wang Qiong glanced at Zhang Yong, and then continued: "Anbian Bo is too worried, Ning Yuan was originally stationed outside the Guancheng, and there are not too many tuntians here. They all rely on the city fortress, like Ningyuan City, a strong fortress divided into an inner city and an outer city, with the current strength of Duoyan Sanwei, it is still a little difficult to attack it. ”

Ningyuan City as the Ming Dynasty outside the Shanhaiguan City fortress, the main city is divided into two circles, the inner city circumference is five miles, the outer city circumference is nine miles, each has four city gates, but this city was destroyed in the earthquake in the second year of Longqing later, and it is not the Guancheng when the Ningyuan victory occurred later.

Zhang Yongdao: "Even if this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't cower in it and not come out, right?" Your Majesty let us people win the battle, but you didn't let us here! ”

Wang Qiong also looked at Zhu Feng helplessly.

Don't look at the fact that he supported Zhu Feng very much before, and supported him in front of people, but the problem is that he Wang Qiong didn't think it was a good tactic to stay in the city, and notified that all the people around Ning Yuan would be evacuated to the city, and Duoyan Sanwei would not invade Ning Yuan, wouldn't he plunder the surrounding city fortresses by the way?

Zhu Feng asked, "If we do this, will it boost the enemy's arrogance?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Yong smiled, "Do you need to say? It is estimated that within two days, the Tartars will be almost under the city. ”

"That's good."

Zhu Feng replied very simply: "Let's wait at the head of the city first, if they want to escape, we will send cavalry to chase, we must find out the enemy situation clearly, and notify them back as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yong glanced at Wang Qiong, meaning you don't have any opinion after listening to this kind of talk?

Wang Qiong asked: "But I haven't seen Jianchangbo and Pingjiangbo, where are the two of them?" ”

Zhang Yong was thinking in his heart, I am really a famous and a loss, I got the credit of Zhang Zhou when I was biased, and I am likely to be planted in Ningyuan today, it is really "Zhang Zhou is also Zhang Zhou", he said coldly: "Who knows where they went?" At this time, I guess I am also guarding the city! ”

……

……

At this time, Chen Rui and Zhang Yanling were really not defending the city.

In their opinion, as long as there are no troops, then whoever defends the city is the same, and Chen Rui is now setting up a banquet in his tent to invite Zhang Yanling to drink, and his purpose is very simple...... Pull Zhang Yanling to lead the troops out of the city together and fight with Duoyan Sanwei.

“…… Old man Chen, are you crazy? The surname Zhu hasn't asked us to send troops yet, so you want to send troops? Besides, if you send troops, you tell him to go, and you tell me that you are a bird? ”

Zhang Yanling drank two glasses of wine, he was in a good mood, but after listening to Chen Rui's words, he became angry.

Where did you see that I was a master who dared to lead troops out of the city to fight the Tatars?

Besides, aren't you Chen Liangjiu the most afraid of going head-to-head with the Tatars?

How?

Now that I've changed sex, I've drunk hot wine, and I'm bloody? You're going to go by yourself, what are you looking for me?

Chen Rui sighed: "The general actually understands that An Bianbo is not a person who can do great things, on the contrary, Jianchangbo, you are brave and resourceful......

"Poof!" Zhang Yanling almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, "Old man Chen, don't think I can't hear that you are mocking me!" ”

"No, this is the truth, you see that he is young, he has no ability at all, he relies on the backer behind him, does he seem to be a general military officer who can lead the troops seriously?"

Wait a minute.

Zhang Yanling frowned when she heard this, are you surnamed Chen referring to Sang and scolding Huai?

If you don't have the ability, it's all up to you...... Isn't that me?

Chen Rui said: "If we take the troops out, Duoyan Sanwei is a fart, it will definitely be a fart, and then you and I will achieve merit, and after returning to the dynasty, you will play with Your Majesty and the queen, then the credit will be there, and your promotion to the Marquis of Jianchang will not be a problem." ”

"Oh."

No matter how stupid Zhang Yanling is, he probably understands it.

You Chen Rui think that you should go to the army with me, in addition to the fact that we are both deputy commanders and have to work together, you also think that I have a sister who is the queen, right?

"Old man Chen, don't you have a strong relationship with Zhu Zhijie? How do I listen, it seems like you're trying to pull me along with you? Zhang Yanling put down his wine glass and said with a sneer.

Chen Ruixin said that this is a bad thing, can he hear it?

Who made Zhu Zhijie's kid not know each other?

I want to marry him and marry my daughter to him, and he actually refuses my kindness?

And this thing actually cowered in the city when it met the enemy, and said that Zhang Bingkuan instructed him to do this?

It's not that Zhang Bingkuan asked him to come to Liaodong, not to trap him Zhu Zhijie, but to pit me and the relatives of the Zhang family...... Otherwise, why would the three of us come out and lead the troops? What do you think of the combination of the three of us with soldiers...... It's also weird.

Now it seems that I was right at first, Zhang Bingkuan and Wang Weining were wearing a pair of pants, and he didn't want me to end up.

So you can't fall into the trap, you have to pull Zhang Yanling together and lead the troops to kill it, anyway, it's Duoyan Sanwei, as long as our army arrives, Duoyan Sanwei has no reason to fight with us, and even if we fight, we may not be defeated.

I'm just afraid of the fire sieve, not even the little prince of Tatar, will I be afraid of Duoyan Sanwei?

"Aren't you a relative? The queen said a few words to Her Majesty, even if we don't send troops effectively, at least our courage is commendable......"

Chen Rui thought to himself, since you Zhang Yanling have brains, then I won't hide it.

There was a showdown.

That's right, I just fancy that you have a sister who is the queen, who are you doing it with? He Zhu Feng has a backer, and your backer is even bigger! And you and the queen are immediate relatives, if something happens, the queen will definitely be towards you, and Your Majesty will also be towards you.

Are Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou an immediate family?

"I'm sorry, as long as this city pass is stable, I will guard it here, I came to Liaodong to mix up military positions and military merits, let me lead the troops out of the city? Hum! No way! ”

Zhang Yanling is not stupid.

Let me go out with you? Make your spring and autumn dreams!

Even if Lao Tzu is rotten in the city, he will never take a step out of the city, even if the enemy enters the city, then I will have to protect the guards around me to break through...... Who made my life more precious than yours?

"You ......"

Chen Rui felt a remorse in his heart.

The chief military officer Zhu Feng is unreliable, even if Zhang Yanling is so unconcerned.

I'm really useless for heroes.

……

……

The news about Ning Yuan, the prisoner of Duoyan Sanwei, only reached the capital in one day.

Mainly because Liaodong is only about 600 miles away from the capital, the message transmission can be said to be very fast.

Zhang Zhou was still "practicing gymnastics" at home that day.

This is Zhang Zhou and Wang Mingshan's "wedding night", Zhang Zhou's big Dengke and then Xiao Dengke, when they are in high spirits, there is always a discordant voice outside: "...... Master, someone from the palace has come, saying that there is a military situation in Liaodong, you must go out and take a look. ”

It was Han Qing who came to inform him in person.

Maybe even the maid knows that today is a good thing for Zhang Zhou, and he can't be disturbed casually.

If this is angered by his own master, even if he is not directly punished when he turns around, it is estimated that he will not have a good face, and it is more appropriate to let his second wife come.

As for Wang Mingshan...... is already the third lady, and at present, it seems that she is still a "young lady", in terms of background, Wang Mingshan is taller than Jiang Pingyu, who was born as a wife, but Wang Mingshan doesn't seem to have any shelf.

"Wait!"

Zhang Zhou was also annoyed.

It's only half a good thing, and you have to be called out to talk about what kind of military situation?

Excuse me.

In this room, it is also a "military emergency", and it is nothing more than killing parents.

……

……

Xiao Jing in the main hall was in a hurry.

As Zhang Zhou expected, Duoyan Sanwei really beat Ning Yuan, and it was menacing, there was a sense of wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Feng did not have any movement of the march, which is not a problem...... The point is that you, Zhu Feng, are still stupid enough to report to the imperial court, saying that you plan to wait for Duoyan Sanwei in Ningyuan City......

Are you Zhu Feng lacking heart?

Even if you were to do that, you don't have to say it.

came here to inform Zhang Zhou and asked Zhang Zhou to go to the military affairs in detail, but Zhang Zhou was still at home and had a room with Wang Mingshan......

Although Xiao Jing didn't know what Zhang Zhou was doing in the inner courtyard, he asked him to wait outside, which made him very anxious.

Finally......

Zhang Zhou still appeared.

Xiao Jing Judging from Zhang Zhou's face, Zhang Zhou's temper didn't seem to be very good, as if his sudden intrusion had ruined something good for Zhang Zhou.

"Gonggong Xiao, is Liaodong defeated?" Zhang Zhou came up and said in a questioning tone.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

Xiao Jing sighed, "Mr. Zhang, you should have counted it all, right?" Hu Lu committed Ning Yuan, and Ning Yuan's guard Zhu Feng reported that he was going to defend the city pass, did he mean that Hu Lu was going to attack the city pass? ”

Zhang Zhou sat down and took a sip of tea, even if it was herbal tea, it was nothing.

I happened to be in a panic.

"What kind of strength is the Duoyan Department, dare to offend Liaodong Guancheng? But maybe they can't think about it? Zhang Zhou gave an ambiguous answer.

Xiao Jing said: "Then you should follow our family and enter the palace to tell Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Zhou asked: "The news I learned now should be the day before, right?" ”

"This ...... Yes. Xiao Jing thought for a moment.

Although it was delayed for less than a day, it was delayed for more than two hours to reach Zhang Zhou, and now it is not said that it is the decisive battle, and the matter is also reported to the emperor first, and then sent to Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Then ...... tomorrow morning"

"You have to go to the court." Xiao Jing said, "But if everything goes well, and there is a war between last night and before this morning, then ......"

"Oh, it's not that early, if there is to be a war, it will have to be tonight or tomorrow at the earliest." Zhang Zhoudao, "Before the end of March, I said it. ”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "That means, after you enter the palace tomorrow morning, you will make it clear to Your Majesty?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou got up and said, "Then I won't send Grandpa Xiao, I'm still a little busy here......

"What?"

Xiao Jing looked concerned.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Fu Ping divination, measuring the heavenly phase and the heavenly machine ......"

"Then don't you dare to disturb Mr. Zhang, please." When Xiao Jing heard this, this wouldn't be some kind of magic circle to help Zhu Feng achieve a great victory, right?

Zhang Zhou pondered for a moment.

Is it wrong for me to say that I am helping the beggars?

The tone agrees differently.
