"Hide it from you? I have nothing to hide from you!" Zhang Han rubbed his head, puzzled.
What is the wife going to do?
"Pretend, keep pretending!
That woman at Orado's place, don't say you didn't send her there! Seeing that Zhang Han didn't understand, Yeli Kedun rolled his eyes and reminded.
Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that the emotion was about Dora.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, he hurriedly smiled, hugged his wife again, and explained in a steady tone;
'It's all just for fun. The most important thing in my heart is you, mother and son.
The lady does not despise Zhang Han's humble background, so how can she be compared to her in offering her body to him?
As long as you say something, I will send that woman away immediately. She is pregnant with Liujia now, but please don't get angry. Our baby is important.
...'
Regardless of whether Zhang Han's words were true or false, they were still excuses, but Li Kedun could tell from them that his love for himself and his baby came from the bottom of his heart.
Then he hummed softly; "It's good that you know!"
Then he paused and continued: "Hey! Take that woman back, your wife can't be jealous." As if something suddenly occurred to him, Yeli Ketun still suppressed the slightest displeasure in his heart and said to Zhang Han leisurely.
The reason why he said these words that went against his own emotions was because Yelicton knew very well.
It is impossible for a brave lion to have only one mate. His man will be better than the lion. She couldn't help being a woman, as evidenced by the fact that princesses in the Tang Dynasty couldn't get married in the past.
Regardless of whether these words were sincere or not, Zhang Han was deeply moved by his wife's generosity.
To be honest, there was nothing we could do in the past life. In ancient times, which man didn’t want to make great achievements and have a group of wives and concubines?
It takes several lifetimes to accumulate virtue and only travel through time once. It is indeed unrealistic to suppress one's own temper.
Of course, marrying wives and keeping concubines is not just for personal preference. The biggest reason is based on the principle of genes. Reproduction is the prerequisite for survival, isn't it?
Zhang Han didn't speak next. He knew that although his wife pretended to be generous and said these words, her heart must be very fragile at this time.
So Zhang Han began to change the topic, gently caressed his wife's belly, and said with a smile, "Madam, look at that fish, it's so beautiful." '
oh?
Hearing this, Yeli Kedun ignored the grievances in his heart and looked in the direction where her husband was shouting.
With a scream of surprise, she immediately stood up from her husband's arms and ran towards the river beach.
"Slow down, slow down, baby! Baby!...Yah!" Zhang Han was shocked and shouted hurriedly. He stood up and almost slipped because of the slippery rocks.
I saw a few golden fish swimming down the river, their golden scales sparkling under the stars. They jumped up high playfully, then quickly plunged into the water, then flicked their tails hard and jumped up high, repeating the cycle, like elves.
"How beautiful! Is this a blessing from the Immortal God? My dear!"
Yeli Ketun looked at the goldfish playing in the distance, caressing her slightly flat belly, which was only two months pregnant, and asked Zhang Han lovingly.
"Yes! A good sign. This is a great gift from Changshengtian to our children." Zhang Han smiled happily.
"Ouch!" Suddenly several wolf howls were heard in the distance, causing Zhang Han's smile to freeze and he looked at his wife worriedly.
"Let's go back, it seems like a pack of wolves."
But what stunned Zhang Han was that his wife, who looked loving just now, suddenly pulled out a cold dagger from her waist.
sneers again and again;
"Wolves? I just happened to find a good knife and it hasn't seen any blood yet!"
"Fuck!"
Zhang Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and secretly thought that he was indeed a child of the grasslands who had been hunting since he was a child. He was really cool!
But it was indeed dangerous here, and Zhang Han spent a lot of effort to coax this ancestor to go back with him.
Along the way, Huo Wa seemed to be walking on a dark cloud. The night wind blew, and Zhang Han felt a warmth on his back.
Zhang Han inadvertently glanced towards the south and thought to himself: I wonder how the war in the Central Plains is going?
Why! The prosperity of the people will be miserable, and the destruction of the people will be miserable. How many people are left in the Central Plains now?
He looked at the Milky Way and the sea of stars again and laughed at himself;
No matter how much better I can be, I am just a ephemera in the world.
...
Late June of 1234 AD.
Zhao Kui led a large army to Kaifeng City, a full month earlier than in history.
And in the north of Kaifeng. In the Mongolian army camp on the north bank of the Yellow River, Tachaer had just arranged the 20,000 reinforcements brought by Kuo Chu.
After receiving the news that Zhao Kui's troops had arrived in Kaifeng, he immediately added several waves of spies to the south bank of the Yellow River, trying to grasp the real-time dynamics of the Song army.
After Zhao Kui arrived in Kaifeng, he saw that Quan Zicai was still stalling in Kaifeng and did not continue to attack Luoyang westward.
Zhao Kui was very dissatisfied, accused Quan Zicai of delaying the opportunity to fight, and ordered him to lead 13,000 forwards to attack Luoyang first. He himself led a large force to wait for grain and fodder from the rear in Kaifeng City. When the grain and fodder arrived, he led the main force to support Luoyang.
Quan Zicai was angry and funny, but felt more helpless.
But military orders are like mountains and must not be questioned. Quan Zicai could only bite the bullet and respond.
Seeing Quan Zicai's unwillingness, Zhao Kui became even more dissatisfied. He immediately appointed his subordinate Xu Zimin as the supervisor of Quan Zicai's forward force. He left Quan Zicai in Kaifeng and gave him the command of the forward force. Leave it to Yang Yi to command.
In addition to this 13,000-strong forward army, the second echelon was composed of the Huaixi soldiers formerly led by Quan Zicai and part of the second-line troops, totaling 15,000 people.
Zhao Kui only prepared rations for the army for five days before letting them set off. After the forward troops received the rations, the troops began to cry out that the rations were too little, and even caused a mutiny!
But Zhao Kui still forcefully ordered the forward troops to set off.
Xu Zimin, the newly appointed forward supervisor, is caught in the middle by his superiors and subordinates, and is in a dilemma.
As a last resort, he discussed a solution with Yang Yi.
After discussion, the two began to divide the work.
Xu Zimin was responsible for asking Zhao Kui for more military rations, while Yang Yi was responsible for appeasing his subordinates.
After a lot of hard work, the forward, who finally managed to collect enough food for seven days, was reluctantly sent to Luoyang the day after Zhao Kui arrived in Kaifeng.
Not long after the forward troops of the Song Army in Kaifeng left Kaifeng for Luoyang, they were informed by Mongolian sentries, and the news was quickly sent to the Mongolian army general Tachaer. After receiving the news, Tachaer immediately summoned senior Han and Mongolian generals to study the strategy of dispatching troops.
The main tent of the Mongolian army.
There is a two-meter-wide square table in the middle of the big tent. On the square table is a huge map, and the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains are vividly displayed on the paper.
Tachar picked up a brush and drew a circle on each of Kaifeng and Luoyang on the map, and connected the two circles with curved lines. He said to Kuo Chu, Zhang Rou and other generals gathered around the square table;
"The matter is already very clear. As soon as Zhao Kui arrived in Bianliang, he immediately sent forwards to march towards Luoyang. He just wanted to take advantage of our lack of troops in the Central Plains to quickly occupy the three capitals and create a fait accompli.
He hesitated to move forward in Bianliang. I guess it was partly to prevent us, and partly because of the insufficient supply of food and grass. "
After listening to this, Zhang Rou rubbed her chin and wondered what she was thinking. Shi Tianze next to her started breathing heavily;
"I think Zhao Kui is not only trying to guard against us. He is stationed in Kaifeng with tens of thousands of his main force. He is also trying to contain the main force of our army so that his forwards can successfully capture Luoyang."
Rough words but not rough, Shi Tianze's words made everyone nod.
At this time, Kuo Chu, who had just come to support two days ago, let out a mocking laugh.
Instantly attracting the attention of the generals.
Tachaer still did not dare to neglect Kuo, the favorite heir of Wokuotai. He quickly bowed and asked, "Why is the third prince laughing? But what countermeasures are there?"
Kuo debuted: "I laugh at Zhao Kui's short-sightedness and whimsical thinking.
Doesn't he know that what our Mongolian army is best at is long-distance raids?
If he wants to watch us with tens of thousands of people, does he think that the two-legged Han people can run faster than the four-legged horses? "
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Rou, who had been silent just now, immediately cheered loudly and echoed, "The third prince is right!
From this point of view, how can the young emperor of Song Dynasty be undefeated with such a short-sighted person as his coach? "
"Flattery!"
Seeing Zhang Rou flattering Kuo Chu, Shi Tianze looked disdainful and secretly despised her in his heart.
But what he said next made Shi Tianze feel that this man was not only good at flattering, but also had some military skills.
I saw Zhang Rouzheng pointing to the two circles on the title picture and saying to everyone: "If Zhao Kui can't hide in Kaifeng City, waiting for food and grass to wait for an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with our army, it will be difficult to deal with it. The Song army will not have to defend it for long." He said that our army will inevitably need to confront it for a long time.
But this guy actually divided the army into two, which gave us a great opportunity to defeat each one! '
Tachar nodded and said to Zhang Ju: "Keep talking!"
'promise! Zhang Rou responded and pointed to Longmen marked on the map and continued to preach; "Longmen Town is an important town in Luoyang and is conducive to ambush."
We can send troops to ambush the Song army here. When more than half of the Song army's forward troops suddenly attack, we will be able to cut it into two pieces, so that the head and tail cannot see each other.
Then we eat the rear part and put the front part, and then turn around and eat the opponent's forward part in one bite. '
Shi Tianze suddenly interjected: "In addition, we sawed the Yellow River and flooded the southeastern area. The Song army had difficulty in supplying food and grass, so we could send a small group of cavalry to harass its food routes.
At that time, the vanguard will be destroyed and the food and grass will be exhausted. See what Zhao Kui will do if he guards the ruined city of Kaifeng! ! "
"Haha!" Shi Tianze's words caused the generals in the tent to laugh.
Kuo Chu smiled at Tachaer and said, "In Mobei, I often heard the names of the two generals Zhang Shi and Zhang Shi. When I saw them today, the rumors turned out to be true." In this way, after this battle, Kuo Chu will definitely stay drunk with the two generals. Don’t refuse when the commander arrives! '
"Where is it! It is a blessing for the two of them that His Highness the Third Prince appreciates them. How can I stop them?"
"Okay! Your Majesty is open and bright. Thank you in advance for your generous offer."
Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou understood what the third prince meant. He was just trying to win over the two of them.
But their performances were different. Zhang Rou was happy, but Shi Tianze was dismissive.
It's very simple that Zhang Rou needs to get this backer. Shi Tianze already has a backer, so he doesn't need it!
Moreover, his backers are his old boss, Subotai, and his consort, Zhang Han, to whom he is grateful. Some time ago, Zhang Han even wrote a letter, preparing to introduce his little sister to Batu, the second prince of the Kipchak Khanate.
He was naturally confident and disapproving of Kuo Chu, the so-called third prince's wooing.
Everyone exchanged greetings for a while and started discussing again. The generals present, with Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze taking the lead, began to express their opinions one after another, and the strategic plan was gradually improved.
Finally, after the generals had finished expressing their opinions, Tachar made a strategic plan to ambush the forwards, harass the grain roads, and besiege Kaifeng.
