This sneak attack finally turned on the switch of the war, and the subsequent battles followed one after another. Most of the time, Duke Xian took Tang Zhao by his side to teach, and occasionally he was too busy directing to take care of her.

But no matter what, Tang Zhao also grew up rapidly in these battles, and at the same time she received more and more letters.Most of them were secret letters that appeared quietly in her camp, and occasionally received letters from the capital. The latter was obviously much more likable than the former, and Tang Zhao would be much happier when he received Mingda's family letters.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, and everything recovered after spring, but the war delayed by the weather intensified.

After half a winter's hard work, the momentum of the Hu people's southward movement was finally curbed by the northern army led by Duke Xian.But these Hu people are good at fighting, and if they want to completely defeat them, it is not easy to drive them out of the territory of Daliang. Originally, they lacked food, grass and supplies when they rushed to attack, and it was difficult to consume them with the Liang army. They quickly captured many cities and ceased to exist.

The war has fallen into a stalemate, but such a stalemate is not a good thing, because in those cities that have fallen to the enemy, the longer the war drags on, the more exploitation and harsh treatment these people will suffer.

Finally, one day, Tang Zhao excitedly approached Xian Guogong again with two pieces of letter paper.

At that time, Xian Guogong hid in his tent and drank medicine.It's not a big problem, it's just that the spring is warm and cold, and the weather in the north is always colder than that in the capital. Xian Guogong caught the wind and cold when he didn't notice it for a while.This kind of minor illness, which is not worth mentioning in the eyes of ordinary generals, cannot be ignored by this veteran who is over [-] years old, let alone at this critical moment of the war.

Of course, hiding in the tent and drinking the medicine was not because Mr. Xian was afraid of suffering in his old age, but because he was worried that his soldiers would lose their morale if they saw him drinking the medicine.After all, the old general has gray hair, and no one can ignore the fact that he is old.

As soon as Tang Zhao entered the camp, he smelled the bitter smell of medicine in the tent, and then he saw Duke Xian raised his head and drank the medicine in the bowl.The old general didn't even frown, he only drank a glass of water to wash away the smell of the medicine, and then he took the initiative to say, "What's the matter with you coming here? If there is any news from the capital, don't let me read any letters, just say it." gone."

This made Tang Zhao startled: "There is no official document sent today, and there is no letter from the capital."

After hearing the words, Duke Xian looked up at Tang Zhao, and then glanced at the letter paper in her hand: "It's not that the eldest princess has sent a letter again, why are you so happy?"

When Tang Zhao heard this, his face couldn't help but blush—to tell the truth, Mingda was a bit self-serving in this respect, and every time a letter came from Beijing, there must be a private letter from Her Highness the Princess to the son-in-law.Although Tang Zhao had never shown off to anyone, anyone who was not blind could tell that she was in a good mood after receiving the private letter, especially Duke Xian saw it a lot.

Hearing Duke Xian's slightly teasing tone at this moment, Tang Zhao cleared his throat, barely suppressed his blushing, and said, "It's not His Highness's letter, it's the opponent's side, and there is finally progress."

After hearing the words, Xian Guogong showed a clear expression. To be honest, he almost forgot about it: "Then show me the letter."

The relationship between the two is now harmonious, Xian Guogong is like a teacher to Tang Zhaoru, and it is not polite to say this, Tang Zhao doesn't think it has anything to do with it.She naturally handed the letter to Duke Xian, who read it quickly after receiving it, and then frowned slightly: "The other party asked you to meet in Zhangcheng... Zhangcheng is now in the hands of the barbarians. "

It was not easy for Xian Guogong to train Tang Zhao. Although young people can understand a little bit, it is still a lot of effort for him to teach people at his age.If Tang Zhao turns into a meat bun beating a dog, then he really has nowhere to cry.

Tang Zhao heard the disapproval in Xian Guogong's words, but said seriously: "Zhangcheng is already the best. The other party will not come to our site if they want to see me. Compared with other places, Zhangcheng is a city It’s not big, and the garrison won’t be too many.”

Of course, there are also small cities like Zhangcheng, but she has a lot of confidence in her heart, because this city can be regarded as the northern city she is most familiar with.When she was young, Duke Ding used Zhangcheng as an example to teach her how to deploy troops and defend and counterattack.

It can be said that although Tang Zhao has not been to Zhangcheng, he already knows the topography of the city there.Even how Zhangcheng will deploy its defenses, and where to find the defense flaws, Tang Zhao has his own rules in mind.

Duke Xian naturally saw Tang Zhao's movement, frowned and said, "You really want to go?"

Tang Zhao stroked the envelope with his fingertips, nodded, "I've thought about it, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub."

Duke Xian understood what she meant, but shook his head and said, "How do you know that Emperor Yanping will come to see you in person?"

Tang Zhao pointed to the letter in Xian Guogong's hand and said with a smile: "Didn't he claim to be my father? If so, how could he not see me?!"

Duke Xian was dumbfounded for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little moved...

Emperor Yanping actually didn't plan to meet Tang Zhao in person, because for some reason, he didn't really want to see him.But when the appointed time approached, he still rushed to Zhangcheng, and he couldn't tell what kind of mentality he had.

Fighting life and death in front, Emperor Yanping was also very careful in his activities in his own territory, and arrived in Zhangcheng only one day earlier than the agreed time.

Zhangcheng is not big, but also very quiet, or in other words, the city that fell into the hands of the Hu people is very quiet.Those who could escape had already fled, but when the war started it was the coldest winter day, and not many escaped.The rest of the people locked themselves in their homes. Even if the winter snow melted, even if everything recovered, they would not dare to step out of their homes.

The shops facing the street had been closed long ago, and no one dared to go out for a stroll on the street at this time, so the streets in the city were mostly deserted, and even if people walked by occasionally, most of them were sergeants who surrendered to Emperor Yanping, or barbarians.

Under such circumstances, it was unexpected that there was one more person in the city. Emperor Yanping asked when he arrived in Zhangcheng, but Tang Zhao hadn't come to the appointment yet.

This is normal, when suddenly someone tells you about your life experience, especially if the power behind this life experience is opposite to yourself, any individual will hesitate.Emperor Yanping had even made preparations that Tang Zhao would not come, or it might be a few days later.

But Tang Zhao came to the appointment as scheduled and did not delay.

The meeting place was at the General's Mansion in Zhangcheng. Tang Zhao even dared to come to the appointment in Zhangcheng, so it's okay to go to the General's Mansion again.She went to the agreed place as scheduled, and no one in the general's mansion stopped her, but from the moment she entered the door, she looked around calmly.

After a while, the guide took her to the flower hall for guests: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, my master will come later."

Tang Zhao nodded, not seeming to care.After the person left, his feet unconsciously rubbed against the floor, and he looked up from time to time, obviously revealing a bit of anxiety.

There are two eyes in the dark to see all this, so the last doubts are dispelled.

Tang Zhao didn't wait too long, and someone stepped into the flower hall - the visitor looked about forty years old, wearing a scholar's robe, his black hair was combed meticulously, and he looked dignified.Just looking at the face of the visitor, although Zhou Zhengjun is handsome, he has no resemblance to the Mingda brothers and sisters, nor does he have any resemblance to Tang Zhao himself.

Of course, the question of appearance sometimes doesn't explain anything, because father and son, mother and son all look alike.Tang Zhao quickly sized up the person before asking straight to the point: "Are you..."

When Tang Zhao was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at Tang Zhao, and said, "You are Zhao'er, right?"

Feeling really chilled by the sound of "Zhao'er", Tang Zhao didn't want to speak for a while, so he just nodded slightly.

The middle-aged scribe was visibly happy, looking at Tang Zhao with excited and pleased eyes, and even opened his arms to hug Tang Zhao.Tang Zhao was not annoyed after being dodged by stepping back. Instead, he said happily: "Unexpectedly, I really did not expect to see you here. I left you in the capital at the beginning, but I didn't want you to be involved in these dangers. Thinking of Zhao Er, you are so competitive..."

He chattered a lot, like an old father who just met his son and found out that his son is promising.But as Tang Zhao listened, he couldn't help feeling a little weird in his heart, so that the urge to move in his heart was suppressed by this weirdness.

The two talked one, and the other listened, and they got along peacefully for a while.

Tang Zhao finally had a chance to speak and asked, "Why did you invite me here?"

The voice of the middle-aged scribe paused, and he looked at Tang Zhao again: "What was written in the original letter is true, Zhaoer, do you believe it?"

Tang Zhao's eyebrows twitched when she heard this title, but she still held back and nodded lightly, looking a little hesitant: "If you don't believe me, why should I take this risk?"

This is very true, so the middle-aged scribe believed it easily, and his face became more gratified, and he raised his hand and patted Tang Zhao on the shoulder.This time Tang Zhao didn't dodge, but his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged scribe's hand, and he heard the other party say: "You and I met today to be honest. In the future, father and son will join hands, so why not worry about the great cause."

After hearing this, Tang Zhao's tense body completely relaxed, and the other party felt even more relieved.

However, Tang Zhao relaxed not because she was no longer nervous, but because she completely gave up the plan in her heart-she didn't intend to come in vain this trip. Compared with making a big splash on the battlefield, wouldn't it be better to capture the thief and capture the king? ?Even if Zhangcheng is the opponent's territory, even if it is not easy for her to succeed, she is still willing to take risks.

It's a pity that the person in front of her is not what she was looking for.Although she has never met Emperor Yanping, she also knows that Emperor Yanping is not good at martial arts.It is normal for scribes to dress up, but if there is a pair of thick-boned hands belonging to warriors, then it must be wrong.What's more, this person didn't even know that she was disguised as a man. If Emperor Yanping, he would not be deceived so far.

Forget it, the original plan fell through, but it wasn't that she didn't think about the result, and soon reached another consensus with the other party after changing the subject.
