I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 722 Exploration and Calculation

When Ziheng was able to move freely, it was already two days later. I don’t know how many soups and medicines he drank in the past few days. Compared with the herbal medicines of Han Chenhui and others, Ziheng used all the best medicinal materials. Strong, but still less bloody even though he hasn't experienced fighting.

At this time, in Tanxian County and Jizhou, all the support troops had arrived, and after a day's rest, they were cleaning the battlefield outside the city.

The battle suffered heavy casualties, and at the same time, along with the sudden wealth, a large number of weapons and armor were left outside the city.

The armor that can be used is re-cleaned for use, and the armor that cannot be used is re-smelted, and the same is true for weapons.

Thick smoke billowed outside Tanxian County, the nearby sky was dyed gray, and the stench of charred corpses was really unpleasant.

Ziheng stood on the city wall, his eyes looked at the thick ashes, and as the wind blew, many ashes were blown up.

When Han Chenhui came back from outside the city, he found the eldest son on the city wall, turned over and got off the city wall immediately.

Ziheng heard footsteps, "General."

Han Chenhui asked, "Is the prince feeling sad?"

Ziheng shook his head, "I'm worried about how many strong laborers there are in the north."

This is a very serious question. Compared with the south, the population loss in the more chaotic north is serious. All those who can go to the battlefield are laborers. How much labor will be left after the war is over?

Han Chenhui collected the corpses for the soldiers himself. He knew the number of casualties. "It will be difficult for the north to restore the population."

At the beginning, a large number of people fled to the south, and these years have consumed a large number of people. It is not easy to restore the population by having children. To restore the population, corresponding policies must be encouraged. It is necessary to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing, but also to ensure that the people see hope.

Ziheng changed the subject, "Calculating the time, Zhang Min should return to the capital."

Han Chenhui snorted, "It counts that he ran fast decisively. I went out of the city today to check. Zhang Min walked all the way in a hurry and lost a lot of carts and utensils."

The sad thing is that Zhang Min didn't want to take advantage of him, so he smashed everything he could, and burned all the carts.

Ziheng sighed, "The failure of Zhang Min's siege did not damage the foundation. He has a large army in his hands, so we can't act rashly right now."

Han Chenhui hummed, "When the Northern Expeditionary Army arrives, we will return to Yizhou to meet up."

Ziheng looked in the direction of the capital. He still had the impression of the capital deep in his memory. Now that the capital was bombed, he didn't know what happened to the capital?
The situation in the capital city is very bad, there are ruins everywhere, Zhang Min's spies are hiding deep, if they were able to take away the son of the Shen family back then, one can only imagine how many people the capital laid down.

In order to blow up the capital, Zhang Min used most of the gunpowder in his hand, and there are no intact streets in the capital.

In the past few days, no one has cleared the streets of the capital, and most of the merchants have fled, leaving the people in the capital to close their gates. There is no one on the street, and the soldiers do not need to patrol. The prosperous capital in the past is like a dead city.

Zhang Min retreated back to the capital, and he issued a series of orders to dispatch troops. If he wanted to keep the territory he had conquered, he had to drive away Yang Xixuan's soldiers and horses. This time, there was no way out for this battle.

Jeju City is under martial law, there are few pedestrians on the street, and teams of soldiers patrol the streets.

Wei received a notice from the Women's Medical Center that he didn't need to go to the Women's Medical Center recently, because a large number of medical women from the Women's Medical Center went north to serve as military doctors to save lives.

Wei Shi is an official family member, and she is the only one at home, so she was not nominated.

The people of Jeju City felt that the war was coming, and the news of Yang Xixuan's army's Northern Expedition had spread widely.

Wei Shi closed the gate of the courtyard tightly, she saw no one except her mother's family, and guarded her son wholeheartedly.

When Shui Shi found Wei Shi, Wei Shi was enlightening his son.

An impatience flashed in Wei's eyes, but she wanted to hold back. She didn't know her sister's temper, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would discredit her and make her unhappy in the future, so she tried to soften her tone, "Mother, why are you here?"

Shui Shi wanted to hug his grandson, but the grandson looked alienated, Shui Shi withdrew his hand and sat down like a normal person, "Whenever I see Zhenxin, I will think of Zhenyuan. After all these years, I don't know Zhenyuan where to suffer."

Wei Shi felt nauseous, "Mother, I like Zhenyuan too, that kid is really cute, it's a pity that he didn't show up."

Shui Shi's pupils shrank, and he stared straight at Wei Shi, "What's the pity?"

Wei wiped his son's hands with a handkerchief, and replied with his head down, "It's a pity that Zhenyuan is lost, otherwise Zhenyuan would be the eldest son of the Yang family. Sister Fang is also pitiful, pity her."

Shui Shi's heart was pounding, she suspected that Wei Shi knew something, her eyes turned red while pinching the handkerchief, "Yes, Fang Xiu is indeed pitiful."

Wei's eyes were sarcastic, she didn't doubt her mother-in-law at first, every time the husband mentioned copying the scriptures, her mother-in-law would be quiet for a while, and she became suspicious, plus her mother-in-law's reaction to Zhenxin, she clearly recognized that her mother-in-law was not If you like grandson, do you not like Zhenxin, or do you think of Zhenyuan when you see Zhenxin?
She kept her doubts in her heart all the time. She was annoyed by her mother-in-law these days, so she just wanted to test a few words. After years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she thought she knew her mother-in-law well enough, so Wei couldn't help but hug her son tightly.

In Wei's eyes, her husband was the first before the child was born, and after the child was born, her son occupied her whole mind. She really cared about him, but she also thought about how to live after his death.

However, Wei's fingertips were scratching the palm of his hand. Once the husband had something to do, in order to prevent her mother-in-law from slandering her, she would not show mercy.

Shui Shi became more and more unable to see through his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law grew up too fast. She used to be a hot-tempered lady, but now she keeps her words to a minimum and always means something, "I'll go back first."

Wei Shi, "Yeah."

Yang Xi didn't know about the disputes in Jeju City. Yang Xi and his wife had been resting at home for many days. It was rare for them not to read a book and draw a portrait of Ziheng every day.

It's useless for anyone to come to the Zhou Mansion in this state, the couple are both traumatized, and they just want to stay in peace for now.

This frightened Zilu. For a while, he thought that something happened to his elder brother. After asking many people, Zilu gradually calmed down.

On this day, Jiaozhou sent a secret letter, and Yang Xi and his wife finally returned to normal. They knew that their son was not only fine but also made great contributions, and the couple finally had a smile on their faces.

Although Ziheng will not go back to the north and south, but there is enough army to back him up, and his safety can be guaranteed.

This person is in a good mood, and the couple finally stopped eating vegetarian food. These days, the children in the family couldn't bear it anymore.

Yang Xi waved his hand, "Today we will eat hot pot."

Zilu stretched out his hand, "Mom, I want to eat seafood hot pot."

Yang Xi smiled, "Okay, okay."

Zhou Yu waited for Zilu's children to leave before he said, "The secret letter didn't say whether Ziheng was injured."

Yang Xi smiled, "It must be hurt."

The son has guarded Tan County, but as long as the son is safe, it will be fine.

The husband and wife began to write letters to Ziheng, and at the same time sorted out the medicinal materials and food that could be taken to the north. In the future, the war in the north will not be easy to eat well.
