Han Zigao

After reading the letter, Zigao raised his head and smiled: "The general is away, and the emperor's orders will not be granted. Brother Zhaoda, feel free to invite prostitutes to play, and the younger brother will not tell the emperor."

My heart is full of joy and sweetness, but also complaining, thinking about that person, the majestic monarch of a country, the urgent secret letter to the former enemy, the governor, is messy to protect General Han's safety, discuss everything with Zigao, don't call prostitutes, etc. little things.

Zhang Zhaoda shook his head and smiled: "How dare you!"

Sure enough, the two of them didn't call prostitutes that night, they drank and chatted, but they also had a very happy chat.

On the second day Zhang Zhaoda and Han Zigao went to see the terrain and the enemy's situation together, Han Zigao thought to himself: Sure enough, it is exactly as I expected.

But it turned out that Chen Baoying built a fence along the Jian'an Lake, but he was on a high ground and the fence was relatively strong, so it was difficult for Chen Jun to attack.

After returning, Zigao said to Zhang Zhaoda: "Brother Zhaoda, do you remember how Wang Lin was defeated?"

Zhang Zhaoda nodded: "Of course I remember, back then when he approached Jiankang with the wind, I followed Taiwei Hou (Hou Zhen) to gain the upper hand, and the wind was in our favour, except that they made a fatal mistake and used fire. In addition to the attack, we also defeated him by colliding with the big ship against the wind, smashing rocks, molten iron, etc."

"Exactly, Hou Taiwei used the wind to win him back then, in fact he defeated Hou Andu." He paused here, somewhat sad in his heart, and continued: "We also used the wind when we were with General Zhou Wenyu."

"But Brother Zigao, this is different from our current situation."

"Brother Zhaoda, although they are not exactly the same, there are actually some things in common. Now he, Chen Baoying, is building a fence along the Jian'an Lake. You can use the water potential."

"With the help of water potential?"

"Exactly, Brother Zhaoda, if you order your navy to set out today and occupy the upper reaches of Jian'an Lake, then your terrain will be higher than him. When the flood rises, you can take advantage of the momentum of the water and use large ships or other Heavy objects smashed his fence, just like when you dealt with Wang Lin. Your water army can also shoot at each other, as long as you break through his fence, you can attack. I will attack his land route at the same time, and the emperor has sent Yu Xiaoqing to lead him. The naval forces will arrive. At that time, we will form a siege with him and annihilate Chen Baoying and Liuyi. It will be as easy as flipping the palm of our hand."

Zhang Zhaoda heard this, thought about it, and said with great joy in his heart: "Good plan! Good plan! Brother Zi Gao, you are really smart!"

"Don't. Brother Zhaoda, you're spoiling my little brother."

Zhang Zhaoda's words were sincere, every time he fought with Han Zigao.Jealousy of him will subside, and genuine liking and admiration will come for him.But if separated for a long time.He will forget about it.

The two discussed the strategy of defeating the enemy in detail, and settled all the details.

After a few days, Zhang Zhaoda left some soldiers to stay here, and the rest of the army marched to the upper reaches of Jian'an Lake. He ordered the soldiers to cut down the huge trees with their branches and leaves, and make them into rafts. Ancient weapons such as blocks or tinder) were placed on the raft, and then large stones were moved and placed on the rack, connected with large iron cables.

I have done a lot and put them on both sides of the strait.

This side has been busy for nearly two months, and it has already reached the end of August. Han Zigao saw that their preparations were almost done, so he told Zhang Zhaoda that he would lead the troops to the junction of Jin'an and Jian'an, attack by land, and cut off his escape. and told them not to pay attention to Chen Baoying's challenge. The two decided to exchange information again, and then they parted.

Han Zigao led his troops to build at Chen Baoying's junction between Jin'an and Jian'an, and Chen Baoying also built a fence there.

But he said that Chen Baoying saw that Chen Jun was building upstream, he was not a fool, he thought it would be bad for him, he led the army to challenge several times, Zhaoda did not move, although he did not dare to call prostitutes, but singing every night made Chen Baoying angry The seven orifices produce smoke, but there is nothing to do.

But it was said that Pei Quen followed the Queen Mother's people into the palace secretly, and that was the time when Zhang Yao'er wanted to break up Chen Qian and Han Zigao.

Originally, Chen Qian had already ordered not to call beautiful women into the palace, but she still ordered secretly, using the pretext of calling the palace ladies into the palace, to call beautiful and flowery women in the territory of Chen country to be palace maids and dancers.

She personally selected each batch, but she felt that none of them were outstanding. When she was angry and anxious, Eunuch Wei secretly came back from Chen Xu.

She was overjoyed and asked Xuan to come in.

Na Peijin came in and knelt down, Zhang Yaoer said: "Raise your head, let Aijia see."

Pei Quen raised her head, and she wanted to look at it: that woman had moth-like eyebrows, eyes as black as water, skin as white as snow, lips that were rosy and red, delicate and charming, she was truly a rare and stunning beauty.

At this time, she was only 16 years old, and her hair was like a waterfall, her body was graceful, her waist was as thin as a willow, and she was very attractive.

Zhang Yaoer was very satisfied after seeing it.

She asked her gently: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the names of slaves and servants are exhausted, and they are 17 years old."

"what can you do?"

"The little girl can sing, dance and play the piano."

"Oh, then you can sing and dance, and let Aijia see."

"Yes." That little girl really had long sleeves, and she sang as lightly as a bird, which was really amazing.

Zhang Yao'er was overjoyed, he couldn't help saying in his heart: "There is no one who knows Ai's family's wishes better than Xu'er."

At this time, Na Peijin said: "Queen Dowager, please back away from the left and right sides, the servant girl has something to say."

Zhang Yao'er felt strange, but still made everyone retreat, leaving only Eunuch Wei and Pei Jin.

Pei Qun took out a letter from his bosom, and said: "My lord ordered my servants to bring me a letter, please have a look at it."

Zhang Yaoer was overjoyed and asked to bring it over.

Eunuch Wei came over and handed it to the Empress Dowager, she took it and read it. At the beginning of the letter, she said how much she missed the Empress Dowager. Jade was made into a birthday star and presented to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift.

Her birthday is in July, and there is still more than a month to go, but Chen Xu is naturally seamless, and wants to impress the emperor with the empress dowager's affection and let him return to Jiankang.

Then he said that he had found a beautiful woman and dedicated it to the Queen Mother.

Then he said euphemistically that if the emperor didn't like it, he could give it to General Han Zigao in the future, and told him not to say that this woman had anything to do with him. Go to your own property and life.

At the end of the letter, he said: "Xu'er misses her mother all the time, misses her day and night, and hopes that her mother will take care of her body. Xu'er weeps and hopes that one day, she will be married again..."

After Zhang Yao'er finished reading, he wept and said: "My Xu'er is so filial, Ai's family vows to take him back."

If the emperor can fall in love with other women, then Han Zigao cannot stay in the palace for long.

Although the emperor and Han Zigao seem to have been together for so many years, but now that Han Zigao has finally left, the emperor is alone, and her chance has finally come.

Zhang Yaoer instructed Na Peijin how to please the emperor, even though the woman loved Han Zigao dearly, she dared not disobey her orders.What's more, even though she has never received customers, in Hualou, all she has learned is how to please men, so naturally these things are not a problem.

She knelt down and said, "Everything depends on the Queen Mother."

Zhang Yao'er's birthday was in mid-July, so she invited the emperor to celebrate her birthday in the name of celebrating her birthday and watched singing and dancing.

As expected, the emperor Chen Qian came, and so did Chen Qian's empress Shen Miaorong.

The emperor Chen Qian picked up the wine glass and said: "I wish my mother a longevity like Nanshan, and good luck like the East China Sea!"

The queen mother took it over and said with a smile: "The emperor is so filial to the queen mother, the mother's heart is very comforting." Dried up the wine.

Shen Miaorong and others also knelt down to toast and so on.

After thirty days of drinking, because Zi Gao was not around, it was rare for the emperor not to leave the banquet and return to the palace immediately.The Empress Dowager Zhang Yaoer saw that Chen Qian was three points drunk, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be deserted to drink without singing and dancing? The Ai family heard that a group of dancers had been recruited recently, so they asked them to come and sing and dance. What does the emperor think?"

Chen Qian said: "Today's queen mother's birthday is all up to mother's decision."

The queen mother waved her hand, and finally sent an order to send these dancers to perform dances.Among them, the lead dancer is naturally Pei Jin.

Peiqian has been in the palace for a month and a half, and she has practiced dance music every day, and her dancing skills have become more and more superb. Coupled with her stunning appearance, she is wearing a water-blue dress with long ribbons on her shoulders. In the hall, dancing like butterflies.

Even though Shen Miaorong and other concubines were women, they were dumbfounded.

Chen Qian looked over, that woman was really beautiful in the world, but she had only seen it in his life, even though he had been in and out of flower houses since he was young, and he had seen countless beauties, none of which was as beautiful as this woman's face.

At this time, she has long sleeves and is good at dancing. She dances and sings as gracefully as a frightened bird. She is such a beauty in the world.

After she danced to the song, Zhang Yaoer asked her to come forward and toast himself and the emperor, hoping to take this opportunity to make the emperor like her more.

She had already told her to please Chen Qian.

At this time, Peiqin lightly moved her lotus steps, knelt down, and slightly parted her red lips: "This servant is toasting the emperor."

Chen Qian smiled: "Okay!"

She poured a glass of wine and raised her hands above her head. The eunuch Wang Gonggong stepped forward, took the first glass, and handed it to the emperor, who drank it.

Pei Quen said: "This servant will toast the emperor with another glass of wine."

Filling up the wine, when the prince was about to come over, she smiled so that the world paled: "Maidservant, would you like to pass it to the emperor yourself?"

"Haha!" Chen Qian laughed, with arrogant and domineering eyes: "What a slave who doesn't know the rules! Come here, drag it down, and beat me to death with a stick!"

That beautiful face turned pale, and cried loudly: "The emperor spares my life! This servant will never dare again!"

"Wait!" Zhang Yao'er stopped him and said, "Today's Aijia's birthday, I can't do such a bloody thing. Originally, I thought she was smart and smart, so I wanted her to serve you. If you don't like it, don't either." Kill her and keep her for singing and dancing later."

"Since the Empress Dowager opened the mouth of gold, I will forgive the capital crime, but the living crime is inevitable. Someone will pull this woman who doesn't know the rules and beat her hard for 40 boards. If she commits the crime again, she will definitely be executed."

Left and right promised, came up and dragged her down, Nazhang gritted his teeth angrily.
