593. Chapter 593: Upheaval in Yuzhou
After dealing with government affairs, Wen Zhao couldn't wait to rush home. Of the three children, only Chen Ting was at home, and Chen Zheng and Chen Jun were busy with their own affairs.
"Tingting!"
Wen Zhao stepped forward, hugged Chen Ting violently, and spun around in the air a few times. Then, he kissed Chen Ting's pink face a few times.
Chen Ting grabbed Wen Zhao's beard and said with a smile: "Giggles, Ah Weng's beard is so prickly." ”
Struggling to save his beard from his daughter's clutches, Wen Zhao put his daughter down and said with a straight face: "Nonsense, Ah Weng's beard is so long, how can he prick people?" ”
Chen Ting tilted her head and said, "Even if you don't stab people, it's very itchy to float around on other people's faces." ”
doting and rubbing his daughter's little head, Wen Zhao only felt that his heart was full of happiness. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Ling, Zhao Yu, and Lu Qiling standing aside, all looking at him with smiles in their eyes.
This warm feeling suddenly made Chen Xu's heart gush out of a warm current.
Chen Hu's mother was also in the courtyard, and she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart when she saw Chen Xu come back safe and sound.
She has always regarded Chen Xu as her own son, and every time Wen Zhao led the troops, she felt a little uneasy, for fear that something would happen to Wen Zhao.
As for her son Chen Hu, Chen's mother is not very worried. Because Chen's mother knew that her son had been stationed in other places and rarely had the opportunity to participate in the war.
"It's good that Da Lang is back, Qi Ling's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, if you have time, you should also accompany her."
For his uncle and aunt, Wen Zhao has always been grateful. Even if he is in a high position now, every time he sees the second elder, he will be very respectful.
Now that he heard Chen's mother's words, he naturally nodded and agreed.
walked over and looked at Lu Qiling, whose stomach was already protruding, Wen Zhao just stepped forward and gently took her hand, and then hugged Lu Qiling.
……
For two consecutive days, Wen Zhao spent time at home with his wife and children, and he didn't think about any military and political affairs. Over the years, he has been fighting almost often abroad, and he has always felt very guilty about his wife and young family.
At this time, he also wanted to indulge himself, so that his tired body and mind could be anchored in a warm harbor.
Guan Ping's mother, Hu Shi, was also completely integrated into Wen Zhao's big family at this time, and Zhang Ling and others never treated her as a subordinate. Gradually, she regarded Zhang Ling and others as her family.
In the past two days, Chen Xu asked Chen Zheng and Chen Jun to return home, and also took his uncle over and enjoyed a lot of family fun.
Warm, pleasant and relaxing times are always so short.
Seeing that the army had finished resting and it was time to go on the expedition again, Wen Zhao suddenly felt that he was really tired.
Just came to this era, he was confused and struggling, and he just wanted to survive in the troubled times, so that the people of Chenjia Village could live, nothing more.
However, the world is unpredictable, and it is precisely in order to survive that he has stepped forward to the road of dominating the world step by step, and has today's power and status.
But behind the glamorous, there is more fatigue and bitterness hidden.
Chen Xu sometimes even thinks that if he is allowed to choose: one side is the current life; On one side is the hot kang head of the wife and children, ordinary and happy.
Which kind of life is better?
As a man, Chen Xu is also ambitious; But after fighting for a long time, tired, tired, and tired, he also longs to live an ordinary and stable life.
Riding on the war horse, remembering that when she was leaving, the reluctant eyes of Zhang Ling's three daughters, as well as the faint worry in her eyes, made Wen Zhao feel deeply touched in his heart.
For a moment, he even wanted to be by his wife and children forever, no longer thinking about any grand ambitions.
But people can't help themselves in troubled times, especially the powerful princes like Chen Xu, who are like sailing against the current, and if they don't advance, they will retreat.
If he doesn't fight bravely today, take the initiative to eliminate and weaken the rest of the princes, Chen Xu will be wiped out by other princes one day.
At that time, not to mention a happy and stable life, I am afraid that even the lives of my wife and children will be difficult to preserve.
Trying to get the faces of his wife and children out of his mind, Wen Zhao rode a horse and carried a spear, and walked at the front of the team, keeping moving forward without the slightest stop.
He looked at the fallen leaves swept up by the autumn wind, swaying wantonly in the air, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The four seasons change, and the plants and trees wither and flourish, which is the reason of the cycle of heaven and earth. ”
"It's like this world, it is also a long time to be divided, a long time to be united, there is no eternal dynasty."
"Time can kill everything, no matter how glorious the history of mankind is, it may turn into dust in the long years."
"Thousands of years later, when historians mention Chen Xu at the end of the Han Dynasty, what will they say to me?"
Chen Xu at this moment is sentimental and complex, which is somewhat inconsistent with the image of fighting in the south and the north in the past, swallowing mountains and rivers.
The autumn leaves moved with the wind, and they landed on Wen Zhao's shoulders in a graceful dance. Wen Zhao stretched out his left and right, gently took the leaf, and carefully watched the veins in the fallen leaves.
"Stomp, stomp!"
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a horse quickly galloping from behind and coming to Wen Zhao's side.
"Lord, Yuzhou urgent!"
Wen Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly went out to restrain the war horse, took the letter in the messenger's hand, and began to watch it.
After reading the letter, Wen Zhao's brows suddenly wrinkled tightly, and he shouted: "The whole army stops, set up camp on the spot!" ”
When he had finished shouting, he hurriedly summoned some of his advisers and began to discuss the matter of the letter.
Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, and after Zhongda left Runan, Liu Xuande led his troops north, preparing to subdue the entire Yuzhou. But he didn't want to, Cao Mengde took the general Xu Chu as the vanguard, set up an ambush in the place where Liu Xuande must pass through on his way north, and defeated Liu Jun. ”
"Jiangdong Sun Bofu took advantage of the situation to raise troops, occupied the entire Runan County, and is attacking Yingchuan."
"Cao Mengde defeated Liu Xuande, but only occupied the two small counties of Chen and Liang, so he was naturally very angry in his heart, so he sent troops to attack Runan."
"Sun Bofu asked Zhou Yu to guard Runan, and he himself led the troops to take Yingchuan, but it is unknown what the current battle situation is."
After listening to Wen Zhao's words, Jia Xu and the others stood on the spot.
They planned for a long time, although it was to weaken Yuan Shao's power, but they did not have the intention of helping Liu Bei and defending the barrier of Yuzhou.
But he didn't expect that Liu Bei was so unbearable, he lost the entire Yuzhou so quickly, and even Runan and Yingchuan couldn't keep it.
Now that the situation in Yuzhou has changed drastically, it has become confusing whether Guanzhong should continue to fight with Yuan Shao. Therefore, Wen Zhaocai let the army camp on the spot, but he quickly found his subordinates to discuss the matter.
