This kind of unhappy separation has become a common occurrence. The last time we had a good time over wine was when we were assisting the soldiers and horses of Huainan Road.
After the soldiers and horses from Huainan Road captured Anton, they simply withdrew without any arrangements for the follow-up. Anton is close to Henan Road, so Henan Road should be taken over by itself, and the troops from Taiyuan Prefecture will provide assistance to the end.
It is their duty to do so, they both think that they should be here and the other party should go.
"The aid will be sent to the west." General Zhu walked toward the other side of Andong City. "Where will the aid be? Recovering the capital? Where will the Buddha be sent? Will Ankang Mountain be executed? It's simply shameless.
!”
If you repeat angry words too much, it will turn into the nagging of an old woman, and it will sound a little less powerful.
The soldier supported him and nodded: "The general is right, you can't do it early if there is no profit."
"Why Mrs. Chu?" General Zhu continued to nag, "They just want to seize Anton. Don't think I don't know. Xiang Yun has sent letters here several times."
The soldier continued to nod: "Dudu Xiang has a new friend, who is helping out on Southeast Road."
General Zhu sneered: "The Governor of Qi in the Southeast Road is very powerful now. The imperial court praised that the Great Xia Guards have Wuya'er in the north and Qishan in the south." At this point, he looked forward and saw a group of soldiers and horses in front of him clearing the road to protect him. The leader was
Zhongqi, he raised his voice, "The governor of Jiannan Road has been forgotten."
When Zhong Qi heard this, he turned around with a dimpled smile: "My governor is still young."
"So Governor Xiang went to cooperate with you." General Zhu gloated, "You have to tell your eldest lady, don't just think about helping your uncle, but also help your brother."
"I told them to go back as soon as possible." Zhong Qi nodded, ran over and whispered, "They think Anton is in an important position and is close to the capital, so they will have an advantage when they regain the capital in the future."
I knew they had such an idea. General Zhu was aware of it but also resentful. Now that the road to Huainan is stable, this uncle is even more unwilling to leave.
He really hates Xiang Nan. Even in troubled times, there are always such lucky people. They are young, good-looking, and from a good background. They can easily become masters. They have the support of their elders at home and have a good family.
The marriage, money, soldiers and horses fell from the sky.
I wish General Zhu had an idea and wanted to knock these young people out of the world and take back their money, soldiers and horses.
"Zhongqi." He pressed the young man's shoulder, not hiding his thoughts, "I can't let your uncle here."
"I don't want them to be here, laughing at me all day long, and trying to drive me back to Jiannan Road." Zhong Qi said flatly, "General, I don't want to go back, it will be miserable if I go back."
If I had a better life back home, I would have gone back a long time ago. There would be no need to work as cows or horses in Henan Road, leading troops to kill enemies and suppress bandits, and do whatever is arranged. Everyone has forgotten that they are soldiers from Jiannan Road.
.
As Zhong Qi said, the governor of Jiannan Road is a child. Adults like Xiang Yun are looking for new adults to cooperate. Of course, small soldiers like him have to find other ways.
This is why General Zhu does not treat Zhongqi as an outsider.
"Listen to me, the key issue is to convince your eldest lady." General Zhu said to him, "What does this pretty boy have? Isn't he just relying on your eldest lady? How dare he not obey when your eldest lady asks him to go back?"
?”
"I'll talk to Mr. Jiang again." Zhong Qi nodded and complained dissatisfiedly, "They are all here. What should I do if there is no one to protect the eldest lady?"
General Zhu nodded, but his brows did not relax. He had said this so many times before.
The eldest lady was bent on letting her husband find a title. She didn't care that there were no soldiers and horses around her to protect her, and he couldn't control other people's daughters. She frowned all the way back to her residence, and was greeted by her concubine with hot tea and hot water.
Of course, family members cannot join the army, but in order to stabilize Andong, the Henan Provincial Observatory learned the methods of Guangzhou Prefecture and drove a group of people over to build cities, farm land and do business. The family members who led the army also had to come over. Of course, the wives and children could not take risks, and the attendants
The concubines and maids can just show off their appearance.
"Why are you so worried, sir?" the concubine asked, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Chu's victory was a happy event?"
General Zhu sat down and patted the table: "It's not because of those people in Taiyuan Prefecture."
Thinking about the young general, the concubine couldn't help but voice a little gentler: "You still don't want to leave?"
General Zhu gritted his teeth: "It's so shameless. You even said it was for Mrs. Chu."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard my concubine chuckle.
"Why are you laughing?" General Zhu shouted unhappily.
The concubine even ran out and took a peek at the pretty boy. He knew it, but he turned a blind eye because he was old, but he couldn't think about other men in front of him.
The concubine pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Xiang seems to be just like Mr. Han Xuhan."
Is that so? The close friendship between Han Xu and Mrs. Chu, General Zhu, naturally told his concubine as an interesting story.
"Master Xiang." He thought about what Xiang Nan said and spoke slowly, "He said that he had met Madam of Chu and was saved by Madam of Chu."
Speaking of which, he slapped his leg.
"No wonder he came running as soon as he heard that Mrs. Chu attacked Anton. Taiyuan Mansion has nothing to do with this place. This is why Han Xu sent a whole city's supplies to Mrs. Chu to calm the people when he heard about the chaos on Huainan Road.
Isn’t it the same!”
"This guy just didn't allow me to say a word about Mrs. Chu's rumors. It turns out he is a thief with a guilty conscience!"
"You men like to show off, but you can't hide your feelings for women, but there's nothing strange about that. That Lady of Chu is as beautiful as a fairy, rich and has soldiers. Who wouldn't like her after seeing her?"
The concubine leaned against him and smiled, placing her finger on his heart, "Master, do you dare to say that you don't like her in your heart?"
General Zhu’s old face turned red. Who in the world doesn’t love beauty?
"You haven't seen it, but you are tempted just by hearing about it." The concubine poked his chest twice to show her well-measured jealousy, and then said, "Both Mr. Xiang and Han Xu have seen it with their own eyes, and
How can they not be moved by the grace of saving their lives? Who doesn't want to make a beautiful woman smile?"
General Zhu slapped the table: "So this guy is really defending the city for Mrs. Chu! This situation is too bad and we can't get rid of her."
The concubine chuckled again: "No, sir, if it is to prevent the rebels from attacking and to defend the fortress to prevent threatening Linzhou, it is not easy for me to drive them away, but if it is for the sake of Mrs. Chu, then
There's no need to rush, he has to leave."
General Zhu was puzzled and looked at his concubine.
The concubine said: "Master Xiang is different from Han Xu. There is a beautiful, wealthy and military-minded young lady from Jiannan Road in his family. If the young lady knows about this,"
I wish the general a great enlightenment. The wife is willing to give money to eat bran-thick vegetables, even if she is in danger, so that her husband can make achievements and find a title, and then the husband will be honored and the wife will be honored. She is not giving her husband to another woman.
What's more, the eldest lady of Jiannan Road is no ordinary person!
Not to mention taking the soldiers and horses back, it is very possible to bring the soldiers and horses to kill and capture the people and take them back.
"Young boy!" General Zhu slapped the table again and laughed loudly, "If you don't want to leave this time, you have to leave!"
After saying this, people jumped up and shouted for soldiers.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming."
He didn't care to hold his concubine tenderly to relieve him from the hard work of the day, so he summoned his soldiers and continued to give instructions like this.
The concubine didn't care about being left alone in the empty room. She looked in the mirror and took off her makeup happily. She apologized a little to the white-robed young man who caught a glimpse of her. I'm so sorry. You don't think about me, and I don't want you to think about others. Please
No suffering is allowed, and everyone in the world is equal.
It's not just women who can think of this. When Chen Er heard what Jiang Hui said at the banquet, he immediately ran to find Xiang Nan.
"Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind." He said with a sullen face.
Xiang Nan stood in front of the map, thinking intently, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Er gritted his teeth and stood in front of him, blocking his sight: "Do you like Mrs. Chu?"
Xiang Nan laughed and said, "What does liking mean?"
Chen Er was angry: "You know it in your heart!"
"She is not my enemy, nor is she a passer-by with whom we have not met. She has saved my life. I should be grateful to her. She protects the country and the people, suppresses rebellions, is a brave soldier, and is the best choice for us soldiers.
Model, I respect and fear her." Xiang Nan thought for a while, then looked at Chen Er, nodded and said, "If this is about liking, I like Mrs. Chu."
This was how he talked to these young scholars, going around and around, making Chen Er blush and stare, not knowing what to say.
"Just tell me whether you are staying here for Mrs. Chu!" he said angrily.
Xiang Nan shook his head: "No."
Isn't it? Chen Eryi was stunned and didn't want to say anything. Xiang Nan motioned for him to look at the map.
"It's far from Andong to Huazhou, and it's not far at all." Xiang Nan ran his fingers across the map, his eyes sparkling, "As long as the Xuanwu Road area occupied by the rebels is recovered, it can be connected together.
.”
Chen Er quickly looked at it and couldn't help but feel excited: "Yes, yes, it's really not that far on the map."
Xiang Nandao: "We use Andong as the stronghold, Bianzhou as the relay, Huazhou as the terminal point, and the three departments as the camp. We can advance or retreat. The recovery of the entire Xuanwu Road is just around the corner."
Chen Er nodded, but frowned: "There are still not enough troops and horses. There is no problem in Huazhou, but we don't have enough here."
Xiang Nan said: "We have Xuanwu Dao." He nodded with a smile, a little disappointed, "Actually, I am a soldier of Xuanwu Dao."
Relying on this comradeship, he tried to persuade the scattered soldiers and horses to return to the guard, and he could ask for help from the soldiers and horses who were defending the city.
Chen Er touched his palms and smiled: "That's no problem."
It turned out that they did not want to stay in Anton, but for the expansion of Huazhou. By then, their white-robed army would be able to gallop into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
"More than that." Xiang Nan said, crossing his fingers upwards, "The most important thing is the threat to the capital."
Chen Er's face turned red with excitement: "Let's go to the capital! I can still have a day to fight Ankang Mountain with my own hands."
Xiang Nan smiled and said: "It's still early to attack the capital, but we will definitely be indispensable in the future."
He stretched out his hand and pointed again on the map, and it landed on Fan Yang.
"At present, against Fan Yang's rebels, and"
His fingers slipped.
"Huainan Road can act as a barrier. It is like a knife lying between the rebels in the capital. If the Fan Yang rebels want to go south, it will not be easy for the rebels in the capital to attack Huainan Road."
Chen Er looked at the map, nodded happily, nodded and looked at it and felt something was wrong.
It turned into a knife and stood between the capital and Huainan Road. How could it seem that it was still for the Lady of Chu?
