Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Line in the Turmoil

Yun Zhao has lived two lives, and he has never experienced such a big scene as he is now.

Within a day, six matchmakers dressed in fancy clothes came to visit his mother at home, hoping to send their best girl to the Yun family's mansion.

That's right, it was sent to the Yun family's mansion, and the woman's family they represented didn't seem to care about the status of their daughters in the Yun family.

just wanted to send his daughter to the Yun family's mansion, which was not luxurious.

Most of these girls are the daughters of some small wealthy families, and according to their mothers, some of them are really good-looking.

It was only at this time that Yun Zhao understood some of the things he had seen in the history books before, such as the maid in Cai Jing's family who was responsible for cutting shredded green onions, and the maid in Yan Shifan's house who was specially used as a spittoon.

It's disgusting! Especially Yan Shifan!!

Of course, the most disgusting people are the fathers and brothers of these girls!!

Yun Niang doesn't think so, the Yun family has eleven daughters to be married, and each of them has been well raised by her.

Except for Gao Jie, who was too cheap, at Yun Zhao's insistence, the rest did not get married.

The little girls who came out of the bandit village in the past with all kinds of poor and sour looks have completely disappeared.

Instead, there are eleven standard ladies for everyone!

That's right, Yun Niang taught the daughters in the family in this way, and taught these girls according to her imagination, after all, the family of the head of the mother Xi'an Mansion is actually not a big family, she doesn't have much knowledge, she can only rely on imagination, or rumors.

Here, Qian Duoduo gave Yun Niang a lot of ideas...... Then, Yun Zhao had eleven more sisters who could read and write, could settle accounts, could ride horses, and even shoot with birds.

Of course, Qian Duoduo's coquettish appearance was sternly rejected by Yun Niang.

Women are very troublesome, especially after studying and gaining knowledge, plus the Yun family did not ban books like "The Legend of the West Chamber" that teach bad women, which made their self-confidence swell to the extreme.

The serious consequence of this is that honest croppers, fierce robbers are no longer good sons-in-law in their eyes, they like thin, clean, handsome, and scumbags who laugh before they speak!

The template for Yun's woman to choose a husband is ready-made, one is Gao Jie, who has long hands and long legs, and has upright facial features!

The other is that the face is more delicate than theirs, and the money is less!

As for Yun Zhao, he is not as heroic as Gao Jie, he has no money and is less beautiful, so he has never been the son-in-law they recognize.

This made Yun Zhao very hurt, Gao Jie is a guy who is used to seducing his boss's wife, and where is a good match with bad deeds?

As for Qian Shaoshao, Yun Zhao fantasized about the woman who married Qian Shaoshao, and felt that the woman should be very pitiful, the woman had a face that was even more beautiful than her before she got into the quilt at night, and she didn't know how this woman should deal with herself!

The Yun family is still in the dormant period, and it is not yet time to live and work in peace and contentment, so only the gentlemen in Yushan Academy are good matches for these women.

And Xu Yuanshou was unwilling.

The days of living here without the interference of outsiders in Lantian County are leisurely, and people seem to have forgotten that the large area of land outside Lantian County is still in a state of war.

Li Hongji's army has been patrolling the boundaries east of Tongguan, Zhang Bingzhong's army is also attacking cities and plundering land in Hubei, and the vast Lantian County is just caught between the two thieves.

Sun Chuanting led his Qin army, which had already formed an army, and also stayed in Xi'an City, no matter how the east of Tongguan was corrupted by Li Hongji, and how the officials and troops east of Tongguan begged for help, he still sat idly by.

In the evening, Yun Fu and Yun Meng returned.

Zhang Bingzhong wants to borrow Shangnan County!

Shangnan County is the southeast gate of Shaanxi, and after passing through the mountainous Shangnan County, you can enter the rich Lantian County.

Of course, Yun Zhao knew that Zhang Bingzhong wanted to take advantage of Shangnan's military significance.

Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court's battle against bandits was about to be won, and the thirteen battalions of rogues held an important military meeting in Xingyang.

At this military meeting, they made an important decision, that is, they no longer fought head-on with the imperial army and began to scatter and flee!

Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, under the leadership of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, broke through to the east where the imperial court was weak.

The main force of this Eastern Route Army was Zhang Bingzhong's troops.

His troops fought bravely, even breaking through Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui and other prefectures and counties, and pointed directly at Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty.

On a foggy early morning, Fengyang City was surrounded.

In less than half a day, he completely annihilated the 20,000 officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang, killed the guard Zhu Guozheng and others, captured Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, and beheaded him on the spot in front of the people.

Fengyang, the central capital, was captured by thieves, and Zhang Bingzhong and Gao Yingxiang and others divided their troops.

Because they can't take away the mountains of victories and the grain in the treasury.

So, under the advice of the strategists, Zhang Bingzhong followed the example of Wangangzhai that year, distributed the spoils that could not be taken away to the local poor peasants, and forced the people of Sixiang to cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial mausoleum, and also demolished the surrounding buildings and Zhu Yuanzhang's Huangjue Temple.

After recruiting a large number of people in Fengyang, the central capital, in order to cut off the back road of these people, Zhang Bingzhong ordered the emperor's ancestral grave to be dug up, and at the same time killed all the rich households in Fengyang.

The news reached Jingshi, and when the emperor learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes and ran to the Taimiao to cry loudly.

He also ordered the court officials to dress vegetarian and handle official business to express their condolences.

In a fit of rage, Emperor Chongzhen removed the post of secretary of the military department, cut off the heads of the governor of Fengyang and the governor of the imperial history, and pulled out the governors of the five provinces who had already been dismissed and idle, and convicted them of death.

Despite this severity, the officers and troops were still unable to annihilate all of Zhang Bingzhong's troops.

After Zhang Bingzhong captured Fengyang, he waved his army south, conquering Luzhou, Anqing, Hezhou, and Chuzhou one after another, and fought along the Yangtze River to Yizheng, Jiangsu, all the way invincible.

In the face of a large number of regimental exercises organized by the gentry in Jiangnan, Zhang Bingzhong strictly abided by the strategy formulated in Xingyang, did not attack head-on, and chose to return to the division to the west.

Through Yingshan and Huoshan, he joined the Ma Shouying Department in Macheng, Hubei.

Then, from Hubei to Henan, and now, he is preparing to re-enter Guanzhong from Shangnan, so as to achieve his goal of merging with Li Hongji east of Tongguan.

Yun Zhao, who did not merge Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji, did not care, what he cared about was that Zhang Bingzhong wanted to pass all the way from Shangnan through Lantian and the area west of Tongguan in Huaxian County in order to join Li Hongji at Tongguan.

"Let Zhang Bingzhong's more than 100,000 people pass through Lantian County, do we have any left?"

After Yun Zhao listened to Yun Fu's report to Yun Meng, he shook his head with a smile.

"If our whole army goes out and sticks to Shangnan, where the terrain is dangerous, we have enough soldiers and food, and there are many firearms, Zhang Bingzhong will not be able to get by.

However, in this way, our strength is completely exposed. ”

"When did Zhang Bingzhong's messenger say that he would go to Shangnan?"

"Their army is still in Nanyang, and when they come to our Shangnan, they must at least pass through Xiangyang Mansion, even if he breaks through Xiangyang Mansion, it will be in April next year when he arrives in Shangnan."

"What else did Zhang Bingzhong's messenger say?"

"They guarantee that the army will pass through Shangnan and Lantian to ensure that Qiu does not commit any crimes."

Hearing Yun Meng say this, Yun Zhao looked at Yun Meng and smiled: "Do you believe it? ”

Yun Meng simply shook his head and said, "Don't believe it!" ”

"Since you don't believe it, then cut off the head of the envoy and let Zhang Bingzhong completely dispel this idea."

Yunfu said with a smile: "We have been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers for the past few years, and people have really regarded us as a pig, so ah, people think it can be passed on." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Over the years, whether it is Li Hongji, who is bent on using Guanzhong as an old camp base, or Zhang Bingzhong, who is wandering all over the world, they have never stopped tempting my Lantian County.

Whether it is Qianxian, Fufeng, or Shangnan, we have never stopped fighting in the past five years, and every battle has ended in our victory.

Gao Yigong was Li Hongji's confidant, and Ai Nengqi was a capable fighter under Zhang Bingzhong.

They should already know the power of Yun's firearms.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Bingzhong not to know that Lantian County is the fundamental place of my Yun clan, and he will not allow him to pass through my Lantian County no matter what, and he can only do it by killing everyone in my Yun clan.

So, what did he send an envoy to my Yun Clan for? ”

Yun Fu frowned and said, "Could it be that this is someone's counter-plan?" ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "How can an envoy play anti-intrigues? We don't have anyone in our family who can separate them. ”

"I mean Sun Chuanting! That Sun Chuanting, who just killed Gao Yingxiang and became my governor of Shaanxi, you don't have to worry about Zhang Bingzhong informing Sun Chuanting about our dealings with him, so that my Yun family has to rebel, whether he borrows the Tao or not, as long as the Yun clan rebels, Sun Chuanting, who is cowering in Xi'an City, will be in danger. ”

Yun Zhao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This kind of thing needs a very subtle connection to work, and Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates can't play such a show." ”

Yun Meng saw that Yun Zhao and Yun Fu didn't talk much, so he said in a low voice: "Could it be that Zhang Bingzhong really wants to borrow the Tao?" ”

Yun Zhao waved his hand irritably and said, "It's not that Zhang Bingzhong wants to borrow the way, it's Sun Chuanting who is testing whether we have the possibility of merging with the rogues."

After all, Zhang Bingzhong is now in Nanyang Mansion, close to Xiangyang Mansion, once we merge with Zhang Bingzhong, Hanzhong will become a big channel to communicate Hubei and Guanzhong, plus Li Hongji east of Tongguan, the fall of Guanzhong is in the palm of his hand.

If we close the main road from Hanzhong to Shaanxi, he will be able to deal with Li Hongji east of Tongguan wholeheartedly and will not be exposed to the enemy on his back. ”

"Xiao Zhao, do you think the envoy is a dead soldier sent by Sun Chuanting?"

Yun Meng's frown gradually loosened.

Yun Zhao sighed and said: "There is an eighty percent chance that this is the case, in our current situation, no matter which messenger is sent by whom, Uncle Meng, you go and cut off his head, and then ring the bell, convene the Lantian County regiment to practice, and enter Shangnan County, no matter what, Guanzhong is ours, and Zhang Bingzhong is not allowed to come in." ”
