The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 157 Chapter 157
Zhang Yan wanted to stay in Pengcheng well, and use his modern wisdom to create some practical and advanced things in this era. How could he know that he had just returned to Pengcheng, and he hadn't even seen his wife yet, so he had to step on his horse and go to Jiangdong up.

Xuzhou is worthy of being the place of the Fourth World War. The battle with Cao Cao here has just been learned, and the army has not come to rest and reorganize. It is about to go to the battlefield over there, and there is no chance for people to breathe.

When Mi Zhen heard that Zhang Yan was back, she waited in the room early. For this reason, she specially took a bath and changed clothes, and dressed up carefully.

A woman is someone who pleases herself, Mi Zhen has just tasted the sweetness of being a wife, but Zhang Yan is always fighting everywhere, and she often doesn't see each other for more than a month, which makes her miss it.

Mi Zhen not only dressed herself up carefully, but also arranged their room, which looked very warm and warm.She waited quietly in the room, waiting for her husband to come back.

Zhang Yan quickly came to the back hall from the front hall, and walked directly to his room. Before he opened the door, he could smell the fragrance coming from the room, directly invading the heart and spleen, making people feel refreshed after smelling it.

Although he couldn't tell what kind of fragrance it was, Zhang Yan liked to smell it very much.He pushed open the door, and suddenly saw that the room was covered with curtains, and beside the bed was a steaming big wooden bucket filled with hot water, and the water was sprinkled with flower petals, and his beloved wife Mi Zhen was sitting beside the bed. .

Seeing Zhang Yan's return, Mi Zhen immediately stood up from the bed, walked directly to Zhang Yan, grabbed Zhang Yan's hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "Husband, you are finally back. After many days, you are exhausted, take off your clothes quickly, and let me wait for you to bathe and change!"

Seeing that Mi Zhen was so enthusiastic, Zhang Yan closed the door without any hassle, then took off his clothes, and walked into the big wooden barrel naked.

The temperature of the water here is just right, and after soaking in it, I feel much more comfortable.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yan had taken three baths during his long expedition, and only one was a hot bath, and it was after taking Diaochan as his concubine.

During the war, how could he enjoy this kind of treatment? Most of them camped in the wild, and the soldiers also slept in the open, and he was already used to the life of going with the situation. For humans, it couldn't be more appropriate.

However, there are also some differences. When he was a mercenary, he was alone. Lonely, lonely, and cold were his most real feelings. Sometimes he needed to survive in the wild alone for a long time. He likes to talk to rocks.

When fighting, so many people gather together, so it will appear very lively.At least, one doesn't have to worry about having no one to talk to.

Soaking in the warm and comfortable water, Zhang Yan felt much more comfortable all over.At this moment, Mi Zhen reached into the barrel again, holding a piece of cloth to wipe the mud off Zhang Yan's body.

As a result, the originally clear water soon became cloudy, showing how thick the soil on Zhang Yan's body was.

"Husband, are you comfortable?" Mi Zhen asked.

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Madam is very comfortable serving you, but it's just a hard work Madam..."

"It's okay, I'll serve you now, and you can serve me later..." Mi Zhen grinned.

Zhang Yan didn't understand the meaning of the words, he leaned on the wooden barrel and let Mi Zhen wipe his body for him, this is a kind of enjoyment!
After a while, Mi Zhen got a little tired, but she still persisted in wiping every part of Zhang Yan's body clean. In addition, she asked the maid to boil hot water, ready to change Zhang Yan's water at any time.

After taking a bath, Zhang Yan's whole body was relaxed. Looking at the tired and panting Mi Zhen, he kissed her on the face as a reward.

Zhang Yan didn't put on any more clothes, but directly hugged Mi Zhen, walked towards the bed, and said as he walked, "Madam, you have worked hard. I will give you a full body massage in a while to relieve your fatigue. Okay." ?"

"Mmm." Mi Zhen didn't know what massage meant at first, but after Zhang Yan showed her a demonstration, she fell in love with massage, and the feeling of relaxing her muscles and bones is still unforgettable to her.

Mi Zhen lay on the bed, Zhang Yan sat cross-legged beside Mi Zhen naked, while massaging Mi Zhen with both hands, he asked, "Ma'am, can I ask you something?"

"whats the matter?"

"If... I mean if... is a hypothesis, not real..."

"Oh, I know, Husband, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Yan asked tentatively: "If I want to take a concubine, I wonder if you will agree?"

"Take a concubine?" Mi Zhen was stunned suddenly, got up from the bed, sat in front of Zhang Yan, and asked with a confused face: "Do you want to take a concubine?"

Seeing that Mi Zhen's expression was not right, Zhang Yan laughed and said, "I'm just asking casually, there's no other meaning!"

Mi Zhen stared straight at Zhang Yan, without taking her eyes off, and asked, "No other meaning? You are going to take a concubine, and you said there is no other meaning? We just got married, or newlyweds, and It hasn't been long since we got together, and you are going to take a concubine?"

"Ma'am, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, I don't really want to take a concubine."

Seeing Mi Zhen's strong reaction, Zhang Yan immediately gave up his plan to take Diao Chan home. Madam disagreed, and this concubine could not be taken home casually, it would be safer to keep it outside.

"Well, madam, massage, let's massage, don't mention concubines, I just asked casually."

After that, Zhang Yan stopped mentioning the matter of taking concubines, and concentrated on giving Mi Zhen a massage. After that, the two couples, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, naturally fell into flames and caught fire at once.

The next day at dawn, Zhang Yan got up early, and Mi Zhen also got up early, and the two of them began to get dressed.

Last night, Zhang Yan told Mi Zhen that he was going to Jiangdong today. After the two of them got together for a short time, they had to separate again. Although Mi Zhen was a little bit reluctant, there was nothing she could do.

When Mi Zhen was dressing Zhang Yan, she suddenly said: "If you really want to take a concubine, you can take it. However, even if you want to take a concubine, it's not this time. We just got married not long ago. You are now If you want to take a concubine, isn't it indirectly telling others that I am not attractive enough for you? Wait a little longer, when I am pregnant with your flesh and blood, you can take a concubine again!"

Hearing Mi Zhen's words suddenly, Zhang Yan felt a kind of relief, he didn't expect that Mi Zhen didn't reject his idea of ​​taking a concubine, which surprised him a bit.

He clearly remembered that when he talked to Mi Zhen about taking a concubine yesterday, Mi Zhen's face was displeased. Why did Mi Zhen change her mind after just one night?

However, Mi Zhen also made it very clear that she could agree to Zhang Yan taking a concubine, but only after Mi Zhen became pregnant.But now he and Mi Zhen spend less time together, when will Mi Zhen get pregnant?
Then again, he has already taken a concubine, even if Mi Zhen disagrees, it won't help, he can hide this concubine elsewhere.Perhaps, Mi Zhen thought the same way, since she couldn't stop it, why not follow Zhang Yan's wishes, and at the same time give a condition so that Zhang Yan wouldn't think she was an overbearing person.

"Let's talk about taking concubines later!" Zhang Yan put on his clothes and said lightly.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan came to the school grounds. Tai Shici had ordered 5000 soldiers and horses on the school grounds. These [-] soldiers were all veterans from Xuzhou.

After Zhang Yan saw these elite soldiers, he called Tai Shici and asked Tai Shici to replace the soldiers who followed him on the expedition. He only brought [-] of these elite soldiers, and the other [-] were filled by recruits.

The reason for this arrangement is to give the recruits a chance to exercise. Only in this way can these recruits grow steadily.

Moreover, this time he went to Jiangdong to support, and there was no need to bring so many elite soldiers.Moreover, according to his understanding of history, there are less than 1000 real elite soldiers in the soldiers and horses led by Sun Ce, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are recruited and used immediately.

Although Tai Shici didn't understand what Zhang Yan meant by doing this, he did it anyway.After that, Zhang Yan sent people to the granary to ask Chen Qun for food.

Chen Qun had already prepared the food and was just waiting for Zhang Yan to fetch it.Soldiers transported all the grain carts to the Sishui River, then loaded them onto boats, and transported them by water.

Not only that, Zhang Yan's march this time also took the water route and went down the river, which was much faster than the land route.After arriving at the Huaihe River, we then changed to land and arrived at Jiangdu.

At this time, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has not yet opened, otherwise, Zhang Yan could directly reach the Yangtze River by boat.This huge water conservancy project can only become a tentative idea for the time being. When there is no more war in Xuzhou, the people will be mobilized to dig and connect these water systems to make water transportation more smooth and smooth.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan visited Diao Chan again. He prepared maids and servants for Diao Chan, and left some money for Diao Chan's use.

If this time he went on a trip instead of a war, Zhang Yan would definitely take Diao Chan with him, and if Mi Zhen and Diao Chan could get along peacefully again, he would take both of them with him.

But it's a pity that this time I went to fight a war, not travel. Although there are great rivers and mountains, there is no way to appreciate them.

For this expedition, Zhang Yan still took Zhang Hong as his military adviser and Tai Shici as the vanguard, and led [-] troops to Jiangdong.

A few days later, Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Zhang Hong and others arrived in Jiangdu. Jiangdu Ling had received Zhang Yan's order early on, and had already prepared everything. It was a banquet to welcome Zhang Yan and others into Jiangdu City .

Although Zhang Yan has arrived, it is a pity that Mi Zhu's money has not yet arrived. Without military pay, he will not cross the Yangtze River.

During this period, while wandering around the city of Jiangdu, Zhang Yan sent people across the river to inquire about the news. When he learned that Liu Yao and Chen Deng were still in Moling City, Sun Ce was resting his army for a while, so he was relieved.

Two days later, the military pay sent by Mi Zhu arrived. After Zhang Yan checked and accepted it, he took the military pay, food and grass, and with the assistance of Jiangdu Ling, he crossed the Yangtze River smoothly, directly arrived at Dantu, and officially stepped into the ground of Jiangdong. .

As soon as he entered Jiangdong's ground, Zhang Yan thought to himself: "Little Overlord, I'm here, you should go back, right?"
