Straight man of steel

Chapter 458

Because I haven't been back for a long time.

Although the main building is cleaned every day, it still needs to be cleaned again.

Zhang Yuan also didn't want some unknown insects to be squeezed into the bed while sleeping.

These are all busy.

Zhang Yuan took Xiao Ruo to sit in the pavilion, eating the freshly picked cantaloupe and grapes.

Feel the mountain breeze at night.

"Master, how long are we going to stay here?"

"I won't be going back to Chang'an City anymore, let Zhuo Wenjun come over later.

It's going to be winter soon, and it's still a bit warmer here. "

Winter is coming soon. According to the law of normal people's life, it is natural to find a warm place and hide in the house until the winter is over before thinking about work.

"I heard from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that the general will probably not come back this winter."

"It should be, the military officials want to drag all the Han troops to the northern border.

If things go on like this, the reserves of the big man will certainly not be enough to support the consumption of the army.

The military minister didn't think about confronting us head-on. "

"Then what should we do?"

"At the beginning of next spring, donate money and food to the Han army so that the Han army can survive until next year's autumn harvest."

The reason why Zhang Yuan had been looking at the map before was thinking about how to take down the military officials in one fell swoop.

The Xiongnu made up their minds to consume all the reserves of the Han army, so that after the main Han army retreated, they could reap a victory and re-establish their position on the grassland.

"oh oh."

Xiao Ruo knew that Zhang Yuan was very rich, so just donate some.

"Master Hou, Ma'am, the main building and the bamboo building have been cleaned up."

The person who came was Xiaoqing, who had been with Zhang Yuan for more than ten years and had never married.

However, Zhang Yuan also followed her wishes. If he wanted to marry, he would prepare a rich dowry. If he didn't want to marry, he would keep it at home all the time.

"Yeah, let Lao Wang make some light food and send it to the main building."

Zhang Yuan was a little hungry, but he ate a bear's paw for lunch, so he would probably vomit if he ate greasy food again.

"I'm going to tell Uncle Wang right now."

Xiao Qing didn't know what Xiao Ruo's personality was like, so she came and left honestly.

"Master Hou, look at the maids in the Hou Mansion who are all very old."

"Haha, don't let them hear you say that.

Many people followed me from Linqiong in Shu County to Chang'an City.

He has always been by my side, never leaving. "

"I understand, our Xiao family also has many such loyal servants."

"Xin'an Hou Mansion is not the Xiao family, and they are not servants but family members."

Xiao Ruo didn't understand the difference.

It's like she brought the maids from Xin'anhou Mansion, they grew up together, but Xiao Ruo never regarded them as family members.

"Let's go to the main building. It's autumn, and it's really cold outside."

Zhang Yuan grabbed Xiao Ruo's little hand and pulled her to the main building.

This woman's body is also strange, in summer, Xiao Ruo's hands are cold, but in autumn, her hands are warm.

Lao Wang is the person who knows Zhang Yuan's appetite best in the world. If it is light, it must not be oily.

A small plate of stir-fried cabbage braised in vinegar and two bowls of white porridge.

Can be full and relieve greasy.

Xiao Ruo didn't have the habit of eating at night, so Zhang Yuan finished the two bowls of porridge.

"If you have nothing to do, go back to the bamboo building and go to sleep. I have to watch some more things."

Seeing the temperature getting lower and lower, Zhang Yuan didn't want to light a stove in the house, so he said to Xiao Ruo.

But Xiao Ruo suddenly remembered what Princess Pingyang said to her.

"Master Hou, I will stay here and hold the lamp and grind it for you.

If I'm sleepy, I'll go upstairs to sleep, so I won't delay your business. "

Zhang Yuan was a little helpless, so he nodded.

He is a normal man, how could he not know what Xiao Ruo was thinking.

It's just that I haven't been able to find a way to face Zhuo Wenjun correctly.

Zhang Yuan looked at the map for an hour, and Xiao Ruo stood there holding the lampstand for an hour.

But within this hour, Zhang Yuan didn't find a good way.

It is actually a big problem to get rid of the military officials at once, and not let the big man lose his strength because of this battle.

Liu Che granted Zhang Yuan the title of General of Hussars, but did not make him Grand Sima. He had already made up his mind to let Zhang Yuan lead his troops to the expedition.

Now there is no news from King Hunxie, probably because he has the idea of ​​sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

I knew that he had annexed King Xiutu's tribe.

The two sides are in a stalemate, and he will benefit the most.

"My lord, is there any progress?"

"No, fighting a war is not that simple."

"Then rest first and think about it tomorrow."

Zhang Yuan nodded, and took off his coat under Xiao Ruo's service.

"You want to sleep with me tonight?"

"Master Hou is my husband, so why don't you worry about calling other people's gossip when you sleep together?"

"I don't mean that. If you want to stay here, just stay here."

Zhang Yuan ignored Xiao Ruo and got into the bed first.

After a while, Xiao Ruo also got in. Zhang Yuan's body accidentally touched Xiao Ruo, and he found that she was not wearing any clothes.

"If you're like this, I'll drag the quilt over at night, and you'll catch a cold and get sick tomorrow."

"Master Hou, why don't you hold me tight?"

What else can Zhang Yuan do, if he carries it on, he won't be a man anymore.

With one hand, Xiao Ruo was pulled into his arms.

Xiao Ruo may be shy, her whole body is flushed and hot.

"Master Hou, today I told those wives that we haven't consummated the house yet, and they all laughed at me."

Zhang Yuan played with nephrite, felt the frequency of Xiao Ruo's heartbeat, and smiled.

"Those women are the most talkative, you should avoid dealing with them in the future."

"I listen to Master Hou."

As soon as Zhang Yuan turned over, he pushed Xiao Ruo down.

"Will it hurt?"

"At first, it will be fine later."

"Then I'll grit my teeth and insist. I must give birth to a fat boy for Master Hou."

If you still give birth to a child, aren’t you also a child?

……

The traces left by the one-night sexual dream were all displayed on the bed.

When Zhang Yuan came together, Xiao Ruo tidied up the sheets by himself, and he didn't know whether he hid them there or threw them away.

"I'll ask Lao Wang to cook some red date porridge later, what else do you want to eat? I'll ask him to make it for you."

"Red jujube porridge is enough."

Xiao Ruo has just become a woman, and her shyness has not faded from her face.

"Master Hou, do you think I can get pregnant right away?"

"It depends on what God wants. Besides, you are still young now. The best age to have children will be in a few years."

"Hmph, Lord Hou always treats me like a child.

Mother was only 14 years old when she gave birth to my brother, and besides, she would not be able to give birth to children when she was older. "

"It's okay to say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of Wenjun."

"I'm a little afraid of my sister. I won't make her angry by saying these words."

Although Xiao Ruo is young, she has the air of a lady.

Good-tempered and tolerant.

Although she has naive fantasies about love, she also knows that it is impossible for a man to only focus on herself.

These are all her own family's education that led her to have such thoughts.

Let Zhang Yuan describe it in one word.

That is to be good.

She was so obedient, so obedient that Zhuo Wenjun also regarded her as a harmless little girl, not a woman who competed with her for Zhang Yuan.

Zhuo Wenjun's pursuit is for two people to stay together for life, but Xiao Ruo only cares about the person she likes likes her, as for whether she likes others, it's not very important.

The two women are at two extremes, but they can get along well.

Perhaps knowing that Zhang Yuan was returning to Lantian Mountain, Liu Che directly announced on this day that Dinghu Yanshou Palace would be Zhang Yuan's Hussar General's Mansion.

All official business was conducted in Dinghu Yanshou Palace.

It's still the same team as the former Wei General's Mansion, but it has more than doubled in size.

Liu Che's task for Zhang Yuan was exactly the same as what Zhang Yuan had been thinking about in the past few months.

Next spring or summer, Liu Che will give Zhang Yuan [-] cavalry to let Zhang Yuan go north again.

At that time, the military power will be handed over to Wei Qing, and Zhang Yuan will be in charge of planning.

This is also the reason why Liu Che didn't give Zhang Yuan the position of Da Sima.

If it is to divide the troops to fight, there is no problem with a big Sima and a big general.

But if everyone is together, it is easy to have problems.

After all, both of them are the people who command the military power of the whole country.

Although in the final analysis, the military power belongs to Liu Che, but in order to avoid disputes, the position of Da Sima cannot be given away.

Giving Zhang Yuan a hussar general was just for Zhang Yuan to have manpower at his disposal.

"Xiao Ruo."

"Master Hou."

“Send someone to tell your father to send his son to me.

Don't you want to go to the battlefield, the opportunity has come. "

……

There were no Xue Ren and Li Jian in the Hussar General's Mansion formed for Zhang Yuan, which meant that the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army would no longer participate in the battle.

After all, we must guard against those princes and kings who want to rebel.

There are no [-] troops around Chang'an City, so Liu Che will definitely not feel at ease.

To be honest, Dinghu Yanshou Palace is not a short distance from Xin'anhou Mansion.

Zhang Yuan has to spend an hour on the road every day to and from get off work.

The only advantage is that there are 500 more guards.

It feels good to be protected day and night.

Xiao Ruo's elder brother Xiao Ding came to Lantian Mountain, and Zhang Yuan asked him to make a long history.

Anyway, before the time of war, cronyism is cronyism.

Zhang Yuan didn't intend to let his uncle really fight the Huns.

But when the application was typed up, it was directly rejected by Liu Che.

Chang'an City airborne a long history.

Zhang Yuan was immediately stunned when he saw the person.

"Doctor Taizhong, why did His Majesty send you here?"

Zhang Yuan's army commander, Shi, was Zhang Qian. He hadn't seen Zhang Qian in the past few times, and Zhang Yuan thought that Liu Che had forgotten him.

In my heart, I was glad that there were no people who came here to prostitute military exploits for free.

But at the last critical moment, Zhang Qian still appeared in front of Zhang Yuan. Could it be fate?

"General Hussars, aren't you very satisfied with your subordinate?"

"It's not dissatisfaction, it's just that you can't be my army commander Shi."

Zhang Yuan told the truth directly.

In the end, if Zhang Qian causes any accident, the blame will be placed on Zhang Yuan's head, and Zhang Yuan can still clearly distinguish this debt.

"Xiao Ding, a young man without any military experience, can be the commander of the army, why can't I?"

"You speak as if you had military experience."

"Although I have no military experience, I have lived among the Huns for more than ten years. I am more familiar with the Huns than anyone else."

"Don't forget, Manchester City, where you live, is now the territory of the big man, what's the use of being familiar with it?
You don't have to quarrel with me, I will write a memorial to His Majesty right away.

If Your Majesty insists that you be my military commander, then I will admit it, but if any problems arise, I will not take the blame for you. "

"General Hussars, please."

Zhang Yuan began to write the memorial in front of Zhang Qian.

It's not that he doesn't like Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian has contributed a lot to Huaxia, but he is an idiot when it comes to war.

Everyone specializes in different directions.

If Gongsun Hong were to lead troops to fight, he would probably not be able to defeat the [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu with an army of [-].

But people like Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu never asked to go to the battlefield.

You, Zhang Qian, don't have that material, so you still have to think about relying on military merits to make you a Marquis.

It wasn't that Zhang Yuan maliciously speculated about Zhang Qian and took Zhang Qian to fight, the additional battle losses of the Han army would at least be half as high.

Unless the goods are directly emptied, let him do nothing at ordinary times.

If Liu Chefei asked Zhang Qian to go, then Zhang Yuan planned to do so. This guy is a complete waste.

But the reason why Zhang Yuan wrote the memorial to send Zhang Qian back, was thinking that it would be fine to bring trash to melee combat, so wouldn’t it be better for me to bring my own brother-in-law than to bring you Zhang Qian?

I, Zhang Yuan, worked so hard to win the battle, but was divided by a group of trash, and then I didn't think about my own good.

The desk chief Hou Zhang Cigong is such a person.

Zhang Yuan found himself being tricked by his family members every time.

Those surnamed Zhang don't have a single good thing.

Zhang Tang, Zhang Cigong and this Zhang Qian.

"It's finished, Doctor Taizhong, go back and wait for the news, don't wait here with me."

Zhang Yuan didn't give Zhang Qian a better look.

With his current status, there is absolutely no need to give these people good looks.

Zhang Yuan discovered that all those Sima Qian praised in "Historical Records" were literati, or they were not good generals.

These people ended badly.

But there must be a reason for being miserable, if you don't die, you won't die.

"General Hussars must bring things to this point?"

"If you go on an envoy to King Hunxie, I, Zhang Yuan, will strongly support you, and you can go to the Western Regions again.

But you have to go to the battlefield.

Since you want to go so much, how about being a soldier under my account?
I will give you my sword. Every time you kill a Huns, it will be considered as your military merit.

That's what I wrote in the memorial as well.

If you really want to make a difference, go be a soldier.

A small soldier can't affect the whole situation of the battle, but the history of the commander of the Hussar General can affect the situation of the battle. "

"Then wait for His Majesty to judge."

Zhang Qian knew how much he had. He just watched the big man win all the time, thinking that the Huns were almost wiped out. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he would have no chance to become a marquis in the future.

Zhang Yuan did what he said, and directly sent someone to show Liu Che the memorial.

As for how Liu Che will judge in the end, that is beyond Zhang Yuan's guess.
