Zhu Quanzhong washed away his dust and held a small banquet at home.
All the disciples are here.
Zhu Youyu, now in his twenties, has led troops in many battles. When he came to prominence, Quan Zhong had already surrendered to the imperial court. When he attacked the nest of bandits, he was attacking Huazhou. Some thieves insulted the officers and soldiers on the city tower. Li Keyong
Choose a person who is good at shooting and shoot continuously, but if you can't hit the target, you will be loyal and order your friends to shoot well, and the thief will fall down in response to the string.
This son was born to Quanzhong when he was wandering in his hometown in his early years. He stayed in his hometown and was raised by his elder brother.
But Zhu Quanzhong didn't like him very much and had no feelings for him.
During the attack on Zhu Xuan this time, Zhu Youyu was even sued by his adopted son Zhu Yougong, saying that he was too conservative in his military use and was timid and cowardly, which made Quanzhong even more displeased.
Youyu's wife, Mrs. Liu, is the daughter of Liu Renyu, an old general of the Xuanwu Army.
Zhu Yougui is nine years old this year. His birth was an accident. When Quan Zhong led his army through Bozhou, he asked if there were any prostitutes. His subordinates offered one, who was very beautiful, and gave birth to a son. Quan Zhong did not dare to take it home.
Later, he had the courage to talk to his wife Zhang Hui, and Zhang took the son back, while his mother was sent away because of her low status.
Zhu Youzhen, born to Zhang Hui, is five years old this year.
Zhu Youzhang, born to Shi, is two years old this year. Shi is the younger sister of Shi Yanci. Shi Yanci was from Liangzhou, and his position is not obvious, but his younger sister, Shi, is beautiful and charming, and is favored by Quanzhong.
There are also several adopted sons.
Zhu Yougong, formerly known as Li Yanwei, was born in Shouzhou and was born in Chaojun. He is currently a general in the army.
Zhu Yourang, formerly known as Li Rang, was a native of Bianzhou and a wealthy businessman. He was captured by Shao Shude and did not know where he ended up.
Zhu Youwen, whose original name is Kang Qin, is a descendant of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. He is good at poetry and prose. He currently works under Xiao Fu, the grain envoy.
There was originally Zhu Youqian, Zhu Jian, from Xuzhou, but he was killed by Wang Chongying and was not included in the genealogy.
In terms of age, Yougong (adopted son) is the oldest, followed by Youyu (stepson), Youwen (adopted son), Yourang (adopted son), Yougui (parent and son), and Youzhen.
(parent-child) is second, followed by Youzhang (parent-child), a total of seven sons.
There was another girl, only three years old, who was also brought over by Zhang Hui.
Parents, children, adopted children, and their respective families gathered together, and it was very lively.
Zhu Quanzhong felt happy after seeing it.
He held his favorite daughter in his arms, teased her for a while, then handed it to Zhang Hui, and said with a smile: "With every year of war, the days for family reunion are becoming less and less. Come, drink this cup to the full."
Zhu Quanzhong wet his lips with the wine bottle and then put it down. Zhu Yougong, Zhu Youyu, and Zhu Youwen drank it all in one gulp, and the female relatives also drank.
"Well, if it weren't for the good wife to take care of it, I would also like to drink this cup." Zhu Quanzhong looked at the wine bottle with more than half of it left, feeling a little regretful.
"Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but you must also pay attention to your health." Zhang Hui said angrily: "If you drink heavily in the army, I can't control you. But at home, it is better to drink less."
Zhu Quanzhong laughed: "If you have a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
He turned his eyes to his daughter, then looked at his wife Zhang Hui, struggling a little.
I am forty years old, I have been fighting for half my life, and I only have one daughter. Should I get married?
Zhang Hui was thoughtful and thoughtful when he saw the situation.
This girl was born to a maid in the palace, but she has always raised her personally. After raising her for so long, she has long been regarded as his own daughter. The king's eyes are always wandering around her daughter. How come Zhang Hui can't guess the clues?
At that moment, his face fell and he was so angry that he stopped talking.
Zhu Quanzhong laughed and hurriedly invited everyone to drink and eat. During the dinner, he kept trying to please his wife, but all of them were so hot but cold.
After a family dinner with a slightly strange atmosphere, Zhang Hui walked up to Zhu Quanzhong with a cold face and said: "Who do you want to marry again? How can we marry with such a young daughter?"
Zhu Quanzhong was a little embarrassed.
He asked Jingxiang to write a letter with a more humble tone and send it to Yang Xingmi.
It was not easy for Yang Xingmi. His eldest son, Yang Wo, was only seven years old. He was the heir after he became the governor of Luzhou. Before, he was an unknown person, homeless and in his thirties, he did not even have a wife.
Zhu Quanzhong estimated that such a person might get carried away when he suddenly became successful, so why not write a letter to praise him and give him some gifts? It's okay to lose a little face, but for the sake of a great cause, what else can't he give up?
If possible, you can make a secret arrangement with Yang Xing to be the in-laws of your children. It is enough to stabilize him first.
Anyway, the children on both sides are still young, and if they really want to get married, it will be at least ten years later. If they don't want to then, just find a reason to ruin the marriage, how big a problem will it be?
Jingxiang guessed this part, and felt that this was not a serious approach, and that regretting the marriage was too unscrupulous, so he kept admonishing him.
Pedantic people!
"First of all, coax Yang Xingmi and ask him not to cause trouble for me." Zhu Quanzhong grabbed Zhang Hui's hand and said with a smile on his face: "How can his son be worthy of my daughter?"
Zhang Hui's anger subsided a little, and he said again: "Why does the king play tricks on people all the time? I heard that people have no faith..."
"Madam, that's ridiculous." Zhu Quanzhong shook his head disapprovingly and said: "I have been wandering around the countryside since I was a boy, and then I fought in all directions. I have seen many loyal and honest people, but now most of them can't even find their bodies. In this world, there is no comparison.
Who is ruthless? It’s that hypocritical Shao Shude, do you think he’s not ruthless?”
Zhang Hui was a little surprised.
When she was in Bianzhou, she also heard people say that she was virtuous and kept her word and was kind to others. Is there another side to her?
"Huh!" Seeing that his wife didn't believe it, Zhu Quanzhong felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Wang Chongrong, how did brother Wang Chongying treat him? How did Wang Gong die? If others don't know, how can I not know?"
Zhu Quanzhong still feels grudges about Shao Shude's interference in this matter.
He clearly did not let Zhu Jian kill Wang Gong, nor did he let him do it at that time, but he suddenly rebelled. If Shao Shude had not intervened, he would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
"Last year, when we attacked Luozhou and destroyed the stronghold, all the generals were put to death, and his family members were exiled to Helong. I heard that he conquered the grassland, massacred people, and robbed tens of thousands of old, weak, women, and children at every turn. This is completely the despicable behavior of North Korea." Zhu Quanzhong said again.
.
Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"I will kill this thief!" Zhu Quanzhong said: "Li Keyong of Jinyang was used by him like a fool. The court was bullied by him so much that he dared not speak out in anger. If we don't kill this thief, I, the Zhu family, will die.
There is no place for burial. Even you and others will fall into his hands and become playthings. This person is just a hungry ghost in lust."
Zhang Hui chuckled.
She was keenly aware of her husband's uneasiness, and was no longer angry. She pulled him to sit down with a smile and said: "My husband has more than ten states in the Central Plains, with prosperous household registrations, a rich treasury, and the soldiers are so good at fighting, why should we be afraid of Shao
Thief? The princes of the Central Plains are not fools. If Shu De is ambitious, he will definitely be besieged by a group of people."
"That's the truth. But if the princes of the Central Plains really come together to deal with the Shao thieves, I'm afraid Bianzhen won't be able to do well. By then, I will just be the trump card for the Central Plains princes to deal with the Shao thieves." Zhu Quanzhong sighed again: "
Shao Thief is six years younger than me. I heard that he rides his horse every month to hunt and patrol everywhere. If I walk in front of him, how can my son outplay him!"
My hero is a bear, this is not a joke.
Quanzhong's dislike of the eldest Zhu Youyu was not entirely due to prejudice, but indeed he had some shortcomings.
Of course, this may be because his requirements are too high.
The old brothers all felt that Youyu was good and could inherit the great cause of the feudal town. This time, Youyu led the army alone in the attack on Zhu Xuan and defeated Zhu Jin, which won the appreciation of many veteran generals.
When we attack Xuzhou later, we might let him lead the army to practice and see what the result is.
"Why are you so discouraged, sir?" Zhang Hui took Zhu Quanzhong's arm, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "Da Lang is already quite good. He has been in the army for many years and is remarkable. I heard that Li Keyong of Jinyang
His son, Li Luoluo, is brave but not resourceful. He is addicted to alcohol and beats his soldiers at every turn. He is not a leader. Shude's son is still young and cannot tell how powerful he is. He may not be as good as Da Lang."
"The lady still knows how to talk." Zhu Quanzhong held Zhang Hui on his lap and said, "If Youyu can't do it, I will pass the throne to Youzhen. The lady must be taught well and not spoiled."
…
After the division, the Bian army was given leave in batches, and the market in Bianzhou suddenly became prosperous.
The Bian army has strict military discipline, but the rewards are really generous.
Henan is also very wealthy, and with wealthy vassal towns like Weibo supplying a large amount of goods, Bianzhou, which has been recuperating for many years, has the appearance of a metropolis.
The streets are full of family members of soldiers. The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and experienced women know that they should buy gifts in advance. Otherwise, by next month, not only will the good things be gone, but the price will probably increase a lot.
"Such a grand scene is worth my hard work for many years." Zhu Quanzhong stood on the bell tower, looking at the bustling streets with crowds of people, and said with a smile: "A little face is nothing, I just want the world to be peaceful and share it with my old brothers.
Wealth."
Jingxiang smiled and said nothing.
In fact, the commander-in-chief just asked Hu Zhen what he was doing in Xin'an this morning. It was not his strategy for dealing with the war, but whether he had any unusual movements.
It has been more than a year since so many soldiers and horses were put into his hands, but the lord's old problems have recurred, and he wishes he could get them back now to straighten them out.
"Over in Huaixi, who do you choose to be the commander?" Zhu Quanzhong asked.
Jingxiang's heart flashes with lightning.
In his opinion, Ge Congzhou is very suitable. He has been in Luo and Ruzhou for two years, but unfortunately he has never been reused. But Jingxiang knows that this person has some abilities. To be honest, Hu Zhen is only senior.
After a while, when it comes to marching and fighting, he is not as good as Ge Congzhou Yuan.
"Commander, Zhang Shensi is great." Jingxiang replied: "General Zhang has been in the army for half his life and is familiar with military aircraft. With him leading the troops, Huaixi will have no worries."
"Inappropriate." Zhu Quanzhong glanced at Jingxiang, carefully observed his expression, and guessed whether he had any connection with Zhang Shensi.
Jingxiang's face was calm.
"Zhang Shensi, I will be of great use." Zhu Quanzhong thought for a while and felt that it would be safer to not just follow the wishes of these people, so he said: "We can appoint Ge Congzhou as the commander-in-chief. He will command Zhongwu and Fengguo's two towns.
, the Ruzhou soldiers also returned to their commander, acted accordingly, and attacked Tang and Deng. How about that?"
"The commander is wise." Jingxiang praised: "The land of Tang and Deng is right up to my side. It cannot be taken without elite soldiers and strong generals."
"Now the main focus is to attack Erzhu and Shi Pu." Zhu Quanzhong said: "The Shao thieves are also very capable. They have drilled all the way from Shangshan Road to Xiangyang, and they are not afraid of breaking the clan and rebelling."
Having said this, some small emotions were finally revealed.
When he first heard the news about the changes in Shannan East Road, Zhu Quanzhong was very calm, and did not show any signs of surprise or panic. Instead, he was very calm and continued to mobilize his troops and generals to plunder Puzhou and return.
Now it seems that I still care in my heart after all.
