Bright Spring

At this time, Zhang Fu unfolded a rolled-up map, and saw that the paint on the map was very bright and fine, and the map of the south bank of the great river was outlined with the skill of fine brushwork.

This object was given to Zhang Fu by Empress Zhang, but it was painted by Guo Zi, and it was stamped with a row of Guo Zi's seals.With so many seals, it is obviously Guo Zi's satisfactory painting.Although Guo Zi was a court minister, he was also proficient in painting; when Emperor Taizong wanted to move the capital to Beiping, he handed over the design drawings for the construction of the palace to Guo Zi.

Zhang Fu sat on a chair and waited for the person he was going to meet later, taking advantage of his free time to think about the situation again.He still believes that the rebels of the King of Han will come to Huguang for a decisive battle to win the overall situation!

Zhang Fu never dared to underestimate the use of troops by the King of Han.But the world often ignores that the King of Han is also a general who can fight well because he is a vassal king.

Whether it was because of Zhang Fu's personal experience when he fought side by side with the King of Han, or the fact that Xue Lu, Gu Cheng, and Wu Gao were beaten and defeated before that, Zhang Fu recognized the King of Han's ability to command troops.

Now Zhang Fu's decision-making has not changed, he is going to use the absolute superiority of troops to put the main force into this battle.The main decisive battle, far-reaching influence, this is the top priority above all things!Other than that, Zhang Fu didn't care much about winning or losing.

He had worries, fears of failure and other doubts, but none of them were as strong as the desire to win!

Yu Gong, this battle is a battle to defend the throne of the current emperor, and it is related to the ownership of the great Ming Dynasty.

In private, Zhang Fu was born in a family of heroes and generals, and war is his lifelong pursuit.If he could defeat the most proficient prince in the world, every hair on his body would definitely feel a sense of satisfaction and self-recognition; as for defeating those mobs in the Battle of Conquering the Southern Kingdom, Zhang Fu didn't even have a sense of accomplishment at all.

As for the comparison of the strength of the official army and the rebel army at this time, there is no need to worry about it, because victory on the battlefield is victory, and there is no need for any reason!

The rewards are of course unimaginable.Since the rebellion of the King of Han, many famous generals of this dynasty have been defeated; at this critical juncture, Zhang Fu finally turned out to turn the tide and save the country from danger!In the entire Hongxi Dynasty, who would dare to compete in terms of merit?Not to mention the monarchs and ministers of the Hongxi Dynasty, even the descendants of the Holy Majesty, did not dare to treat the Zhang family lightly.And the reputation of the British Duke in the history of fighting, not to mention being compared with Huo Qubing and Yue Fei, at least it will not be ranked too low.

Zhang Fu was quietly thinking: After winning this battle, I want to write a book on war, so that future generations can observe and emulate me when they admire my reputation.

... Lei Tian was the last person interviewed by Zhang Fu.

Geng Hao was outside the Xingyuan, and when Lei filled it out, he saw Officer Lei Ke's face was very ugly.He went up to meet him, cupped his fists and asked, "Officer Lei Ke, has Marshal Zhang allowed us to return to Beijing?"

Lei Tian nodded and said, "Leave tomorrow at the latest."

The wife of King Jingjiang, Mrs. Geng, traveled by water in a cart, and she would definitely not be able to reach Changsha tomorrow.When Geng Hao thought of this, he immediately felt the deep sense of autumn, which made people feel a little sad.

"By the way, Marshal Zhang saw me..." Geng Hao said casually.

Lei Tian suddenly stopped Geng Hao, "I can't control some things. Besides, I haven't been on the battlefield, so I don't know the inside story. General Geng can do it for himself!"

Geng Hao suddenly felt very strange, because two days ago, Lei Tian said that he would discuss with him if he had something to do.Unexpectedly, attitudes changed so quickly.

Geng Hao couldn't help but turned his head to look at the gate of the official army camp, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Marshal Zhang and you..."

Lei Tian interrupted him rudely again: "Let's go!"

Such abnormality has aroused Geng Hao's great curiosity.He couldn't help but think wildly, and guessed a lot of reasons, but finally couldn't figure it out; because they are too complicated!Geng Hao heard that Lei Tian was a member of Yuan Gong in the court, and Geng Hao was not quite sure about the relationship between Yuan Gong and Zhang Fu.

At this time, a general and several sergeants came out of Xingyuan, and they were going to take Geng Hao and others to the place where they stayed.The general clasped his fists and said: "The two boats and horses are exhausted. Today they will rest in Fucheng, and tomorrow they can take the post road back to Beijing. The official documents for customs clearance and horse exchange will be handled by the last general, and will be delivered later."

Geng Hao hurriedly bowed his knees and said, "Thank you, General."

Seeing Geng Hao bowing his knees to Zhang Fu's people so much, Lei Tian glanced at him with complicated eyes.

That day, Geng Hao and a few others lived in a wooden pavilion on the edge of the city; standing by the back window of Fangjian, he could just see the Xiangjiang River.Geng Hao watched the passing boats on the river by the window, unwilling to leave for a long time.Whenever he sees that kind of boat with wheels, he will ignite a faint hope, and after a little recovery, he is full of disappointment.

Such a noble and beautiful lady treated Geng Hao very well, and he really couldn't forget it.He felt that Mrs. Geng was very kind, just like his own sister.

Geng Hao has made up his mind, he will divorce Wu Gao's daughter as soon as possible when he returns to Beijing, and find a new wife, who will be dressed as elegantly as Mrs. Geng.

Chapter 495 Letter from Home

The family letter of the King of Han was sent from the chief envoy of Guangxi to the city of Guizhou.The family members of the mansion all came to the central hall.

This five-entry mansion was originally the mansion of Zhenyuan Hou Gu Cheng, the largest and best mansion in Guizhou City, and now it has become the residence of the King of Han.After the Gu family was defeated in the Southwest Campaign, their properties would of course be confiscated by the Han Palace at will.

Guizhou Dusi is indeed not a good place.Xu Zhang's daughter Xu Niangzi came to the southwest for the first time, and felt that this place was not as good as Yunnan Prefecture.Even now, the capital of Guizhou is the residence of the King of Han, but the local rebellion is still taking place in the mountains of Guizhou; the general in charge of guarding Guizhou has only recently sent troops to suppress it.

It is said that the reason why the King's Mansion of Han was located here is to facilitate the contact with the three southwestern provinces.The Han Palace not only has family members, but also a large number of officials and government offices.

Duan Xuehen wanted to go to Zhongtang, so Lady Xu had no choice but to go with her.Duan Xue hates not to let her out of sight, and is very dedicated to what the King of Han told him.

The two walked into the middle hall together, and they first saluted Princess Guo Wei.Guo Wei was reading the letter and nodded slightly.

For a moment, Miss Xu didn't pay much attention to Guo Wei who was sitting directly above, and subconsciously went to look at Mrs. Yao who was sitting next to her.Yao Ji is the most beautiful woman here, her appearance is very eye-catching, anyone who is not blind can see it; not only men pay attention to beautiful women, but women are no exception.

Just looking at Yao Ji's skin tone, he immediately called all the women around her a bit dull; women's skin is like jade, just compare it, and you can tell whether it is good or bad.Her black hair, bright eyes, smooth red lips, the color is very bright and pure, like a person walking out of a painting.And the figure is also quite good, a chest that bulges like that is very rare at Yao Ji's age who has not yet given birth to a boy and a half girl.

In the past two or three months, Miss Xu discovered that the relationship between Yao Ji and the princess is very good.

This is extremely abnormal!So Ms. Xu was very curious.

A woman who dominates the crowd has a slightly lower status, so it is impossible for the hostess to like it; the most beautiful concubine will also be dissatisfied, and it is inevitable that they will compete for the limelight.It is difficult for these two kinds of women to serve the same husband together.When Xu Niangzi was in Zhao Wang's mansion, she couldn't help but be wary of a beautiful maid beside Zhao Wang.

Therefore, Ms. Xu felt that there must be some kind of transaction or common purpose behind the scenes between Guo Wei and Yao Ji, and then they could form an alliance.

Miss Xu once thought that their common opponent was Miao Jin; when Miss Xu thought of this, at first she felt suddenly enlightened.That beautiful Taoist priest is also stunning, she looks different from Yao Ji, but she has her own beauty; in order to snatch the female Taoist priest, the king of Han did not hesitate to disobey the first emperor. The love is evident!

But it didn't take long for Ms. Xu to discover that this guess was not true, because it was not enough for Wang Hao and Mrs. Yao to make friends.

Concubine Han Wang had an eldest son, and she was married by a bright matchmaker, and received a generous dowry from the late emperor; even Mrs. Yao, now also has a title.From the status and status of the female Taoist priest, it is difficult to threaten the two, especially the status of the Han Wang Zhengfei.

If you want to win favor, it is useless for two women to form an alliance in this kind of thing; Princess Han can easily think that even if Yao Ji is the one who wins favor and can benefit most, it will not benefit her at all.

So Ms. Xu was curious and felt that the relationship between the two of them was very strange.

At this moment Princess Han raised her head, glanced at Lady Xu and said, "There are chairs next to you, please sit down."

Lady Xu came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Princess."

Princess Han said: "My lord has won a great victory in Guangxi, defeated Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, and now I have arrived at Guilin Mansion, the governor of Guangxi; God bless, my lord's typhoid fever is also cured. The letter also mentioned two wives and sister Xuehen, you Just take a look."

The women were very happy after hearing this, and said a few good things next to each other.When it came to the rebellion of the King of Han, they had no conflicts; after all, if the King of Han was defeated, no one here would end well.After the defeat of Emperor Jianwen, the family members of those courtiers ended, and it has only been a few years in the past, and everyone has heard about it.

They usually don't talk about it, but they are all worried and very concerned about the battle ahead.The last time Zhu Gaoxu caught wind and cold, only the officials of Hanwang Changshi Mansion knew about it, but the harem soon found out about it.

The eunuch Huang Gou bent down to take the letter and handed it to Yao Ji first.After Yao Ji finished reading it, she handed it to Du Qianrui.

In the past few months, Miss Xu has been with the women of the Han Palace, and she feels that Du Qianrui is the most satisfied person.I heard that Du Qianrui used to be a musician in Fuleyuan, but was brought back by Zhu Gaoxu.A person from such a humble background, even worse than a little girl from an ordinary family, actually conferred the title of wife; only Zhu Gaoxu could do such a thing, after all he dared to disobey his father.

Miss Xu thought: If I were Du Qianrui, I would also be grateful to Dade.

But Ms. Xu has to admit that the lustful King of Han really has some vision.Du Qianrui is a woman who is not very eye-catching at first glance. She is too short and petite, but she is very attractive when you look closely. She has a very well-proportioned figure and good facial features.Maybe Ms. Xu is not tall, so Du Qianrui is very encouraged by the appreciation of the powerful.

The ladies in the middle hall talked about the family letter for a while, and even Duan Xuehen, who was silent, listened with great concern; because Zhu Gaoxu wrote a special paragraph to Duan Xuehen in the letter... The harem of the Han Palace is really a mystery, Mrs. Xu He also couldn't understand Duan Xuehen.Then Zhu Gaoxu cared about Duan Xuehen, so why tortured her like that?

At this time, only Ms. Xu looked like an outsider.But she didn't care too much, because she didn't belong here in the first place; Princess Han's courtesy to her was purely because of Zhao Wang's relatives, and maybe it was also because Xu Zhang was a hero of Jing Nan.

Yao Ji's voice was in an even rhythm, and she said very calmly: "I heard that the second batch of firearms in Guizhou City is going to be shipped to the front. We wrote a letter and let the people in the army take it to Guangxi together. Put it in an envelope and let the concubine dispose of it, what does the empress think?"

After hearing this, Guo Wei glanced at Yao Ji, nodded with a friendly smile on her face, and said, "Sister Yao makes sense, let's do it this way."

Yao Ji said again: "The concubine is the most considerate of the lord. We live in rich clothes and fine food in the mansion, but the lord lives in front of the house and works hard every day. If we receive letters from the harem every now and then, wouldn't it just add to our troubles?"
