Chapter 554: Bright Eyes and Bright Heart Zhang Yue, Ambitious Little Soldier Shi Heng

From Qu Cracker River to Kaiping, back to Beijing through Xuanfu, this is the route set by the emperor. For Zhang Yue, it means that he has to take a long detour along the way. There are more than 1,000 miles from Qu Li'er River to Kaiping, and 5 or 600 miles from Kaiping to Xuanfu, plus more than 300 miles from Xuanfu to Beijing, more than half of these 2,000 miles are outside the complex terrain.

Although it shows that the army has shocked the grassland, and he has brought dozens of elites with him, there is no safety problem, but according to the emperor's intentions, he did not rush back to report the news this time, and he did not have to go too quickly on the road, so his trip was extremely eye-catching. And as soon as he arrived in Kaiping, he was very nervous when he saw his guard Cheng'an Hou Guo Liang, and almost thought that something was wrong with the imperial driver.

Zhang Yue didn't want to put the emperor's murderous oracle on the table at this time, so he simply took out the sword of the Son of Heaven specially sent by the little eunuch before, saying that he was ordered to return to Beijing along the road to urge food. Faced with this statement, Guo Liang was full of doubts, but he didn't show his doubts on his face just by looking at the Heavenly Son Sword.

Before the army was pulled, Zhu Di deliberately ordered all the forts around to be relocated to the inner city, in addition to the grain and grass transferred, an additional 3,000 stone of grain was hoarded in the city, and the military battle bureau sent thousands of catties of gunpowder for the use of defending the city. This military vehicle uses a military vehicle, and there is a military food transfer point every ten days. Guo Liang believes that the so-called lack of military rations is actually just something wrong with Taining Hou Chen Yu in time.

"The car transportation from Kaiping in the past was very smooth, and although it rained heavily in Beizhili, it was more difficult to transport grain, but Baoding Hou and Sui Anbo were trying to find a way. It's not that I'm boasting, the military rations stored in those forts along the way should be enough for the army to use for ten days, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. ”

When Guo Liang said this, he became more and more suspicious, if Zhang Yue was ordered to urge food, why did he have to take a detour to Xuanfu, where everything was normal, and the trip was so slow? But he is not the kind of warrior who is purely rectum, and this question is hidden in his stomach, but he reminded again: "Now everyone is worried about when the emperor will be able to teach, after all, it is almost August, and it snows early outside, if there is a blizzard, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Tartars." Since the emperor sent you back, did you mention the specific day of the class teacher? ”

It would be nice if you mentioned it!

Zhang Yue, who smiled bitterly in his heart, could only shake his head: "When I came back, some remnants of Wuliangha actually followed the army to regain the baggage, but as a result, they were attacked by the army and fled. The emperor was furious and ordered to pursue and suppress, so I am afraid that it will have to be delayed for a few days, and this class will not be on time. Because of this, the military rations that have been prepared now should not be enough, and some more needs to be transported. ”

Guo Liang was naturally dissatisfied with this vague answer, and after Zhang Yue rested for a night and went on the road again, he immediately sent a messenger to the camp of the Northern Expedition to verify. Although it was Zhang Fu's nephew and the emperor's trusted young courtier, he had to be more careful in everything at this moment. If the emperor made any mistakes, how could he be responsible?

Five days later, Zhang Yue finally arrived at Xuanfu. Since Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, accompanied the northern expedition, the Xuanfu was temporarily guarded by Anping Bo Li An. He was very unfamiliar with this one, so naturally he didn't have much to say, and if it weren't for the emperor's dictation, he wouldn't even go here to make a detour. After a few words of conversation, he learned from Li An that Yuan Fang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, had just left the Xuan Mansion the night before, and he couldn't help but wonder.

The emperor was not there, and the commander of Jinyiwei did not stay in the capital to sit in the town, and went to Xuanfu to find out what kind of spy he was, when did Yuan Fang do the work of sacrificing the original and chasing the end? However, he didn't bother to ask about these now, so he asked Ang Lee about the matter first.

As Guo Liang said, all the grain obtained from Kaizhong before Xuanfu had already been transported to Kaiping, and now it is just preventing a sneak attack from the north, and everything is normal. However, he rested in the Xuanfu for the whole night again, and when he was about to hurry early in the morning, he bumped into several people head-on in front of the General Soldier's Mansion.

"Wang Yu?"

"Three...... Lord Zhang? ”

Zhang Yue remembered that Wang Yu had previously awarded Liaohaiwei Qianhu, and he had already taken Jin Shu and his mother-in-law Feng Lan to take office, so he never imagined that he would meet him in such a place as Xuanfu. Although he hurried back to Beijing, he still couldn't help but ask at this time: "You Qianhu is not a good person to serve in Liaohaiwei, why did you suddenly run to Xuanfu?" ”

The tall and thin Wang Yu didn't have time to speak, and an extremely burly soldier grabbed the conversation and said: "My family is no longer Liaohaiwei Qianhu, and I was ordered by the Ministry of War to transfer Shence Wei Qianhu a year ago, and this time I was in a hurry to see An Pingbo to discuss the matter of transporting grain." At present, the military situation is urgent, if this adult has something to say, it is not too late to talk about Ye, you can let it go! ”

"Shi Heng, stop talking!"

Wang Yu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop, and when he saw Zhang Yue frowning, he regretted that he shouldn't have been worn by this kid so much that he couldn't take him with him, so he had to reprimand him harshly. When Shi Heng took two steps back with an aggrieved face, he bowed to Zhang Yue, and then explained with embarrassment: "This transfer is what he said, but I came to see An Pingbo on the order of the Marquis of Baoding." Because the flood in the first place in Beizhili washed away many roads and bridges, and the water transport would not be able to requisition ships for a while and a half, so after discussing with Baoding Hou Sui Anbo, he decided to let me come to Xuanfu to transfer grain first, and then go back to make up the gap. ”

Knowing that Kaiping and the few forts closest to Pingping have now transported the military rations forward, and there is very little grain in stock, Zhang Yue understood when he heard this. The grain storage of the four major warehouses of Xuanfu is extremely sufficient, and now a part of it is temporarily allocated, and then it will be replenished through the grain from Beijing, this idea is not wrong, but he has dealt with Wang Yu several times, and has always felt that this is a man who has something to say, and at this time, seeing that the other party's face seems to be a little unnatural, he has a little more doubts.

"In that case, then you came really just in time, I came back to urge the army food by order."

Zhang Yue, who originally planned to leave immediately, changed his mind suddenly, and at the same time looked thoughtfully at this young little soldier with five big and three thick faces, and couldn't help but ponder this familiar name in his heart.

I have to say that the generals of the Ming Dynasty seem to like the word Heng very much, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng Xing'an Bo Xu Heng Yingcheng Bo Sun Heng, at this time there is a person named Shi Heng, is it the famous guy in the future? It's just that at the moment, it seems that he is a young general with a big waist and a round waist, and if he hone and hone it, he may become a material that can be made. It's just that this matter has to be put on hold for now.

At that moment, he said to Wang Yu bluntly: "In this way, I will accompany you to see An Pingbo first, and then I have a few words I want to ask you." ”

Wang Yu was already satisfied, and he didn't have any intention of continuing to climb up, he just wanted to do his errand well, and he didn't want to make a mistake and affect his family. However, the information he got before really frightened him, at this moment Zhang Yue opened his mouth, he only felt that his mind was seen through, and it took a while to wake up, and he hurriedly bowed his head, but at the same time there was a sense of relief.

Although Zhang Yue is a few years younger than him, after several times of dealing with him, he feels that it is always right to leave everything to others.

Although An Pingbo Li An is a nobleman, he is a person who is afraid of responsibility, Zhang Yue is willing to take the matter over, he can't ask for it, and he said a few words to Wang Yu to make room. When there were only two people left, Zhang Yuefang glanced at the little soldier who was reluctant to close the door and leave, and asked casually: "Seeing that his age is about sixteen or seventeen years old, why did you pick such a childish little guy?" What, is it your relatives at home, or your uncle's children? ”

Wang Yu was originally worried that Zhang Yue would get straight to the point and ask about business as soon as he came up, but when he heard him ask this, he was full of embarrassment but also felt a little more relaxed, and quickly explained: "It's not uncle, they ...... Now they don't want to communicate with me, and they all move to the countryside of Tongzhou. He is my mother-in-law's nephew, because something happened in the family, so he followed me through the experience, and in the future, he could inherit his late father's military position. ”

Is Feng Lan's nephew? Isn't that also the nephew of the eldest aunt Feng?

"I see, then when you return to Beijing in the future, bring someone to me to see. Look at him like that, he is a good man. ”

Although he was suspicious, Zhang Yue just asked casually, and did not intend to ask about other people's family affairs, so he immediately turned to the topic: "You just said that you were ordered to secondment the military rations of Xuanfu, and you seem to be quite hesitant, what difficulties did you encounter?" The Marquis of Baoding and the Governor of Sui Anbo transported the vehicles, and the state capital along the way should be at the mercy of its dispatch, is there anyone who dares to disobey the yang and the yin? ”

"In addition to those transported with the army, more than 300,000 stone grain has been transported one after another, but because the emperor is still staying in Duoyanwei's territory, there is no news of the class teacher, so Baoding Hou and Sui Anbo decided to transport tens of thousands of stone grain up, so they sent me back to Beijing first. But Beizhili, Tongzhou, Baoding and other places had a terrible flood before, and now they have to provide disaster relief, and they have to build roads and bridges, and it is difficult to free up food, besides, it is ...... Besides......"

Wang Yu, who had just taken a trip to Beijing, only felt that the remaining half of the words were extremely difficult. He is a thousand-household, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking officer in the local area, but he is nothing in front of the five prefectures and six departments of the Beijing Division. After weighing it for a long time, he turned his heart and said: "Because Guo Shangshu of the household department is also supervising grain outside, I wanted to go to see Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but Lu Shangshu refused to see me for some reason, but I heard a saying. It is said that the emperor is outside, and if there is a conspiracy in the army, the more grain and grass, the greater the danger of the other day......"

Bang –

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue couldn't help but slap the armrest hard, and immediately stood up. The so-called greater danger is what's going on, it is naturally needless to say, it is nothing more than that some people are worried that the Son of Heaven will die and hide in the army and not report it, and then he will support a new monarch in the army, and when the time comes, he will return to the division and force the Beijing division to admit such a fait accompli. However, since Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin got the yellow robe in the army, when has this trick worked? Is this Lu Zhen's opinion, or is someone else deliberately saying it to disturb people's hearts?

"What other rumors are there in Jingshi?"

"There is also the fact that although the army and the Jingshi say that there is one letter a day, the fastest news is often three or four days ago, and it is all the same good news, some people say that these news are fabricated in the camp." Wang Yu was uneasy after all, seeing that Zhang Yue's brows had wrinkled into a big pimple, he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Lord Zhang, the emperor ...... What about the emperor? ”

"The Holy Bow is fine, you don't have to worry about it."

Knowing this situation in Jingshi, Zhang Yue, who was still a little worried about Zhu Di's life and death, suddenly figured it all out. The emperor has always been extremely suspicious, and he was furious when he got the secret report from Jingshi, and asked him something like that, and now he is afraid that he wants to use this matter to make a good article. The problem is, the emperor is suspicious of the crown prince and the civil and military officials who stayed in Beijing, why isn't the Jingshi side on the side of the suspicious army of the Northern Expedition? The emperor is in charge of the army, and the prince is in charge, and what he is most afraid of is that someone will instigate him at both ends!

"Wang Yu, don't think about the rest, just stay in Xuanfu to coordinate the transportation of grain. Just now, An Pingbo has promised that 50,000 stone of grain can be transported by the Xuanfu first, so you can concentrate on handling this matter first. You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll leave for Beijing now. ”

With Zhang Yue's words, Wang Yu only felt that he had let go of all his worries. personally sent people to the door, and seeing the dozens of people roaring away from the Bingfu Street in front of the General Military Mansion, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and he was really relieved in his heart. He settled his wife and mother-in-law in Jingshi, and if there was any turmoil in Jingshi, what would he do? Since Zhang Yue rushed back, with the ability and connections of his wife's cousin, nothing would happen.

Although they didn't know each other at first, they were very conflicted, but now that they know who the other party is, Shi Heng, who is following Wang Yu, naturally looks at the group of people who are leaving with smoke and dust. After a while, he asked, "Cousin-in-law, is that really the famous Xiao Zhang?" ”

"What, now you know you're scared?" Wang Yu turned around angrily and funny, glared at the trouble-causing nephew angrily, and then taught him seriously, "Since you have left the house, you should learn to be cautious, don't talk about everything." After all, there are a few people who don't care about the number of etiquette like Lord Xiao Zhang, and if they are replaced by others, they may give you some kind of face. Your father has worked hard for most of his life, so that the military position of commanding the affairs has become hereditary, he has died, and when you reach your age, this position will be hereditary. If you don't work hard, you may not be able to do it well. ”

"Cousin-in-law, you also underestimate me too much, aren't you just a little commander! Of course, I will hone myself well, and when I go to the battlefield in the future, I will definitely make greater contributions than my father, and become a greater official than my father! ”

Hearing the bold words of this newborn calf who are not afraid of tigers, Wang Yu couldn't help but pull the beards on his chin. The contented Chang Le seems to be only suitable for himself, this little guy who is only sixteen years old and is willing to work hard may be a brave general. In this case, it should be very easy to pass the hurdle of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War two years later.
