Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 885

After Li Xing left, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai, "On the first day of June, the headquarters will be formally established. Let's call the others back. In the battle of Taiyuan, we must stay fully focused and not slack off in the slightest."

Wang Ruohai thought for a while and said, "Xuanfu, do we pay too much attention to the Jin Army? The actual Jin Army should not be that strong."

Wang Xiaolie said: "You can't have this kind of thinking of underestimating the enemy. This time, the West Route Army of the Golden Army will definitely go south. Roughly speaking, there should be more than 15 troops. We have never fought such a large-scale battle. The Jin army has never fought before. What will happen is unpredictable. The command of the headquarters must be able to make decisive decisions and command flexibly. More importantly, it is necessary to prepare in advance and not to rush."

Wang Ruohai nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In this battle, our strength is about the same as that of the Jin army. But our goal is to wipe out the Jin army and solve the problem of the West Road in the first battle. It is nothing to win a battle, and the requirement to wipe out the Jin army is high. .As long as one part goes wrong and is drilled out by the Golden Army, the goal cannot be achieved. With 10,000+ troops, it is very difficult to achieve such a goal. All possibilities must be considered, and nothing can be missed.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuan Fu means to start early?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "We need to plan in advance. The headquarters will be established in June, and the headquarters will be moved to Jinzhou in September. Don't give the Jin Army a chance."

Wang Ruohai said: "Your officer understands."

In the battle of Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Xiaolie placed great hopes, and also had too many worries.

Zhao Gou proposed that this year's Northern Expedition would be a real battle for the whole country, but it would be divided into two groups.All the way is the army that Zhao Gou can command, and the imperial conquest is the East Route Army.Along the way is Wang Xiaolie's troops, which mainly attack Taiyuan Mansion and are the West Route Army.

Zhao Gou's strategic goal is to occupy the Huaibei area and deal a major blow to Liu Yu's regime.Wang Xiaolie's strategic goal is to occupy Taiyuan Mansion and prevent the Jinxi Route Army from continuing to go south.To be honest, Zhao Gou's army has bottomed out, and Wang Xiaolie's consecutive victories are not a high strategic goal.

But at Wang Xiaolie's place, the strategic goal was changed to occupy Datong Mansion and wipe out the Jin Army's West Route Army.Such a goal is not easy.

With such a goal set, Wang Xiaolie paid special attention to the Taiyuan campaign and was extremely careful.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival.Luoyang city was crowded with people, both adults and children came out to watch the dragon boat race.

The starting point of the dragon boat is Tianjin Bridge, and the end point will be through the bridge. The journey is not far away.

At si o'clock in the morning, Wang Xiaolie brought the Xuanfu Division and Henan government officials to the vicinity of the Huitong Bridge to watch the dragon boats.

Zhang Yuan asked Li Benyu for leave, and went along the Luohe River alone to watch the dragon boat near the Tianjin Bridge.I bought some cherries on the way, one bite at a time, so pleasant.

When we arrived near the Tianjin Bridge, we found a big willow tree and stood under the tree to watch the dragon boats prepare.I saw a hawker selling Lengtao, bought a bowl of Lengtao, and looked around while eating.I saw red men and green women coming and going, which was extremely lively.There is a jasmine flower on each man's head. I think it's a Luoyang custom when it's the season.I saw a clump of jasmine next to it, with few petals, and I don't know if the flowers were picked by someone or they just grew like this.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward, picked a flower that looked relatively large, and put it on his temples.Walking to the Luohe River, I took a few photos by the river water, very proud.

Turning around, I saw two women on the shore holding an oil-paper umbrella to block the scorching sun.Pointing at the dragon boat in the river, he teased softly.

Zhang Yuan only felt his head "buzz", his head was spinning, and he almost fell to the bank of the Luo River.

The crowd quietly approached the two women, carefully observing the older woman.After a while, I couldn't help it, and stepped to the woman's side.Grabbing the woman's shoulder with his hands, he cried, "Sister, it really is you!"

Startled, the woman turned around.Seeing that it was Zhang Yuan, he burst into tears.Weeping: "Brother, I miss you so hard!"

Yu Nu was taken aback.Looking at the two people around him, he thought about their relationship.

Seeing pedestrians on both sides looking at him, Yu Nu hurriedly took her mother-in-law's hand, and whispered: "Grandma, who is this person?"

The mother-in-law said: "Of course this is your Aunt! God pity you, we have been separated for many years, and we will meet each other one day!"

Yu Nu hurriedly said: "Since it's Ah Weng, let's go home quickly. These people have so many eyes, don't let them chew on their tongues!"

The mother-in-law wiped her tears, took Zhang Yuan's hand, and quickly walked out of the crowd.When he got outside the crowd, he asked Zhang Yuandao: "Why are you here? For so many years, you have never heard from me, and I have to drag Dalang by myself. I don't know how much I have suffered!"

While speaking, tears flowed down again.

Zhang Yuan looked guilty, his hands were shaking, he didn't know what to say.

Yu Nu said: "It is a great joy to meet Aunt and Auntie today. Let's go home quickly and celebrate."

Zhang Yuan and his wife followed Yu Nu to the house while wiping their tears.The two cuddled each other on the road, whispering about what happened in the past few years.Speaking of those hardships, I couldn't help but shed tears again.

Yu Nu walked ahead, but her heart was in a mess.

Suddenly, A Weng appeared, and he and Pingping didn't know how to deal with it.Furthermore, this mother-in-law is really hard to describe.Over the years, constantly attracting bees and butterflies, Yu Nu was heartbroken.Yu Nu didn't dare to think about what would happen when her husband came back.

Walking halfway, Yu Nu sighed heavily.

Entering the alley of my house, I met a monk from Jiayi Temple burning incense outside the door.Yu Nu glared fiercely, and walked quickly.Mrs. Zhang's expression was normal, as if she didn't know the monk, she walked past her husband, clinging to her.

Looking at the backs of several people, the monk was full of doubts.Who is that man?Why is Madam Zhang so close to him?
After entering the house, Pingping happened to be feeding the cat in the yard.Seeing my sister coming back, I asked, "Didn't my sister go out with my grandma to watch the dragon boat race? Is the race over?"

Yu Nu said: "I met a man on the bank of Luoshui today. Grandma said it was our Aunt. The family reunited and brought him home."

Pingping saw Zhang Yuan and his wife in the back, seeing that the two were so intimate, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mrs. Zhang sat on the stone bench in the yard, took Zhang Yuan's hand, and spoke a thousand words for a while, ignoring the efforts of the two sisters Yu Nu.

Yu Nu said to Pingping: "Looking at the appearance of the two of them, I'm afraid it's not fake. You go and buy some wine and vegetables, and I'll watch over here. Alas, our grandma, anything can happen, so I have to watch .”

Pingping looked at the two people sitting at the stone table, agreed in a low voice, and hurried to the house to get the money.

With Zhang Jun's family background, of course he can afford to hire someone.However, the Zhang family's situation is special, and they only hired two servants who are not daily.One came every two or three days, collected the clothes and waited to go back to wash.Come one day, cook some meals for them and so on.Because today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the two of them were given a holiday, and there were no servants at home.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang called at the stone table to let Yu Nu pass.

Pointing at Yu Nu, Mrs. Zhang said: "Our son Da Lang has married two wives—"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "One husband and one wife are the law of the country, so don't mess around! Why did Dalang get so dizzy that he married two?"

The lady said: "It is said that it is a monogamous wife, but the other one is not treated differently. What's the matter? Dalang is a promising child. He naturally has his own reasons for doing things like this."

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said nothing more.

Zhang Jun was smart and obedient since he was a child.But after so many things in the past few years, I really don't know what it has become.

The lady said: "This one is a big wife, always respectful and extremely filial. The other is a younger sister, who listens to her in everything. Although Da Lang married two wives, our family is very harmonious and never quarrels."

Seeing her mother-in-law introducing herself, Yu Nu bowed to Zhang Yuan and said, "I've met Ah Weng."

Zhang Yuan took out a bracelet from his body and said, "I originally bought this bracelet for your grandma. When I see you today, I will make it a gift for you."

Thanks Yu Nu.Looking at the bracelet, the jade is crystal clear, it is not ordinary.

The wife said: "During the Jingkang period, you, old man, were doing business, and I was at home with my husband and my son, and my life was peaceful and beautiful. When the Jin people came in Jingkang, they arrested you, old man, to carry out the ceremony, and the whole family fell apart. All these years, your old man I have endured a lot of hardships in the Northland, and I lived an inhuman life here. It’s all right now, you Aunt returned to Luoyang with a member of the staff, and our family is reunited.”

Zhang Yuandao: "Now I am in charge of a cloth village not far away, and life is fine. By the way, what has Dalang been doing lately?"

The lady said: "Back then when he was in Caizhou, Da Lang committed a crime, so he joined Prime Minister Xuan's army. Over the years, he helped Prime Minister Xuan do a lot of things, and now he has been promoted to Qian Jurisdiction, where he is fighting on the front line."

"What?" Zhang Yuan was taken aback. "My son has become a guardian?"

Madam nodded: "Yes. I heard that Qian Xia is a very big official, in charge of many people. Our son can make a difference!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help being stunned there.

He was selected by the Jin people to be a spy, so of course he knew the status of Qian Jue in Wang Xiao's hunting army.No matter from which point of view, Qian Jue is a senior officer in Wang Xiao's hunting army.Zhang Jun was only in his early twenties, and he had never thought of becoming such a high-ranking official.

The son is a high-ranking military officer, but he is a spy. This joke is too big.

After much deliberation, Zhang Yuan understood that he could only sacrifice himself to fulfill his son.The way out now is to come out on his own and pave the way for his son.

After a long while, Zhang Yuan asked, "Where is my son now? I wonder if he can come back? Our family is reunited, and there is always something missing when my son is not around."

The lady said: "I heard that it is in Shizhou. I don't pay much attention to these things. I can't tell where it is. He is fighting at the front line. How can he come back casually?"

Zhang Yuandao: "If I don't meet him in person, I won't be at ease. Think of a way and let him come back to visit the house."
