Yang Xi's smile deepened, she knew Xixuan's intention to support Hu Le Yazan, and she had already thought about what books to give.

Yang Xi and his wife kept Hu Le Yazan for dinner, and when Yang Xixuan came to pick up their son, seeing that Hu Le Yazan hadn't left, Yang Xixuan was not in a hurry to leave.

In the backyard, Wanning and Yang Xi looked at each other, Wanning laughed, "Hu Le Yazan must have been fooled."

Yang Xi couldn't hold back his laughter, the two old foxes fooled the wolf from the grassland into a dog, Hu Le Yazan was too miserable.

After the dinner was over, Yang Xixuan didn't leave, he took tea to relieve his tiredness.

Zhou Yu asked, "Will Guanyi come in person when visiting Guanyi?"

Yang Xixuan shook his head, "He wrote a letter and sent an envoy to visit, accompanied by two ships of food. He wants to exchange the food for medical books related to children."

Yang Xi pinched Curly's fat hand, and raised his head when he heard this, "He cares about the survival rate of children, because he wants to vigorously develop the population."

Yang Xixuan nodded, "I have already agreed."

It's not that there is a shortage of food to sell books, but that he hopes that Guan Yi can assimilate faster, not to mention that Guan Yi's investment now will become his son in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Xixuan looked at Juanjuan who was drooling, he is really a good father, he chose such a good opponent for his son.

The following topics were a bit gossip, such as Guan Yi becoming king and not marrying a queen, there are many women around him, and now there are only a few pregnant women, etc.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the auspicious day for the Zhou family to worship their ancestors. The man arranged the animals for worship, and when the time came, the clan members went up the mountain in a mighty manner.

The people who got the news specially set aside a day to watch it.

Ziheng has a special status. He stood beside the patriarch Zhou. After the worship, Ziheng didn't feel tired, but his heart swelled. This is the family's empathy. The Zhou family has survived the troubled times. Getting better and better.

After descending the clan mountain, the open-air stove had already lit a fire for cooking. Ziheng sent people to Yizhou to buy live livestock. Except for a few for worship, he left a ram as a breeding sheep and a few ewes. Breeding, the rest of the fat pigs and sheep are killed.

Today, the Zhou family held a big banquet, and the people who came to watch from nearby could get a piece of meat to take home.

When Ziheng talked to the patriarch, he could feel that some people were watching him secretly.

Patriarch Zhou also felt it, "They are just curious about the son."

Before the troubled times, the common people had never seen the son of the Hou family, and even in the troubled times, they dared not even think about it. Who would have thought that the Zhou family would have such luck!

Ziheng didn't mind looking at him, "I'm used to it."

In the south, he has attracted much attention. When he comes to the north, he is always the focus of attention. He thinks very openly, and he won't lose his meat anyway.

Patriarch Zhou asked, "You really don't want to wait for all the clansmen to come back before leaving?"

Ziheng shook his head, "I'm going to the Northern Expeditionary Army. The recent wars have constantly required me to boost morale."

Zhang Min attacked like a lunatic and fought without regard for human life. Recently, the Northern Expeditionary Army lost a lot of elite soldiers every time they went to war, not to mention the pace of advancement. Although Han Chenhui didn't write a letter to himself, he still wanted to go there to encourage him. morale.

Patriarch Zhou is worried, this is Zhou Yu's eldest son, what if he is really injured, "Didn't the son say to send Huizhou people back in batches, aren't you in charge of this errand?"

Ziheng knew in his heart that the patriarch was worried about him, so he could only explain patiently, "Yizhou officials will arrange escorts, and I am no longer needed here. The Northern Expeditionary Army needs me right now."

Patriarch Zhou said in a worried tone, "Your Majesty, you must protect yourself."

"Don't worry about it."

The next day, just after dawn, Zi Heng left with his soldiers. Clan Chief Zhou didn't go to send them off, but stood on a high ground to watch the troops disappear before his eyes. He was both proud and sad. I hope that the ancestors will bless Ziheng to be safe and sound.

When Ziheng arrived at the Northern Expedition barracks, he first went to check the wounded soldiers' tents. The folded wounded soldiers' tents were now lined up neatly one after another, and eight wounded soldiers lived in each tent.

Ziheng first went to see the seriously ill wounded soldiers. These were all missing arms and legs, and some died before they survived.

After looking at the tents one after another, Ziheng's face was heavy. The casualties of the soldiers were more tragic than he knew.

Han Chenhui rushed over after hearing the news, "Why is the prince here?"

Ziheng said hoarsely, "I heard the news in Huizhou, and I'm needed here."

Han Chenhui has an unshaven beard, these days Zhang Min is crazy and usually sends troops every day, completely crazy, he is very tired in order to reduce casualties.

Ziheng asked, "How is General Ming?"

"His leg is not seriously broken. He has a splint and good wound medicine. The military doctor said he will be back to normal."

Ziheng heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Speaking of walking towards General Ming's tent, he wanted to visit Ming Jiao himself.

Han Chenhui thought for a while and said, "You should go to Jeju where General Liu is."

Ziheng shook his head, "I won't distract you, I will take care of myself."

Han Chenhui was under a lot of pressure, he was really afraid that something would happen to Ziheng, "Hey, I'm really afraid that Zhang Min will go crazy."

Ziheng gritted his teeth, "I don't believe that his gunpowder is endless, and one day it will run out. Isn't the general looking for Zhang Min's communication channel? I will help the general find it."

Han Chenhui's mind moved, "No, it's too dangerous for you to be here."

Ziheng said in a low tone, "I'm more dangerous outside. Does the general know how many assassinations I have encountered in the past month?"

Han Chenhui, ".All right, you stay."

When Ziheng arrived at General Ming's tent, he saw Ming Jiao was looking at the map, and insisted on studying tactics even though his leg was injured.

Ming Jiao was very happy to see Ziheng, "Are you done with your work?"

Ziheng sat down, "The refugees have basically returned home, how is the general better?"

Ming Jiao exclaimed, "It's all because of my carelessness."

He was lucky enough to save his life. At that time, he thought he was doomed due to the danger.

Ming Jiao cursed again, "Zhang Min is a complete lunatic."

Ziheng had already seen the surrounding environment when he came, and the soldiers in the forest were useless, so he couldn't help thinking, "What about digging tunnels?"

He vaguely remembered his father talking about tunnel warfare, but his memory was blurred when he was young.

When he came here, he thought about it, the sky is not good, the two armies are too close, and if the wind direction changes, it will hurt the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he thought of the tunnel.

Han Chenhui and Ming Jiao glanced at each other. They really never thought about using tunnels. Now that the snow is gone and the land is thawed, tunnels are indeed a solution, but they require a lot of manpower.

Han Chenhui wanted to dig to the vicinity of Zhang Min's barracks, and then attack at night through the tunnel, but digging the tunnel was not easy and took too much time.

Han Chenhui already wanted to use the elite of the capital to attack from the rear.

Ziheng thought for a while and said: "It can also be spread that whoever kills Zhang Min and takes his head will be promoted to a noble, etc."

Ming Jiao sighed, "Zhang Min cleaned up the barracks, and now he is surrounded by a wall of iron and steel."

Ziheng raised his eyebrows, "I don't expect anyone to succeed, I just want Zhang Min to be on guard at all times."

When Zhang Min doesn't trust anyone, he who is already a bit crazy will definitely do more extreme behavior.
