Zhang Gong and his two sons had just returned home when they heard that the tenth prince was visiting their home, and they were slightly surprised. Then, he hurriedly took his two sons to salute Zhao Yao.
"I have met His Highness the Tenth Highness."
Zhao Yao asked Zhang Gong and the others to stand up: "Uncle Zhang, you don't need to be so polite at home."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Gong hurriedly introduced to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, this is my eldest son Zhang Jiang."
Zhang Jiang saluted Zhao Yao again: "I have met His Highness."
Zhao Yao called out sweetly: "Brother Zhang."
Zhang Jiang said with a look of sincerity and fear: "Your Highness, you can't do it."
"Brother Zhang, this is your home and not the palace. Just treat me as a younger brother from a noble family. I don't need so many courtesy, otherwise I won't dare to come next time." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Besides, Uncle Zhang is my father’s good brother.”
When Zhang Gong heard Zhao Yao's last words, a smile appeared on his face: "Listen to your highness."
Zhang Jiang had no choice but to agree: "Yes."
Zhang Gong continued to introduce to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, this is my second son Zhang Tao."
Zhang Tao hurriedly saluted Zhao Yao: "I have met His Highness."
Zhao Yao continued to shout sweetly: "Brother Zhang."
Zhang Tao was a little embarrassed to be called and smiled shyly.
Zhang Gong and his son look very much alike, and others can tell at a glance that they are a family.
Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Gong and the others to bathe and change clothes quickly, as they would have a meal later.
Zhang Gong and the others went back to their own yard to take a bath first. Before leaving, he glanced at his youngest son, and the hair on Zhang He's back stood up immediately.
It's over. Dad won't hit him again tonight, right?
Mrs. Zhang asked Zhao Yao to go to the dining room.
Tonight's dinner was cooked by Mrs. Zhang herself, and she cooked all the delicacies from her hometown.
Zhang He said that thanks to Zhao Yao, he finally got to eat the food cooked by his mother tonight.
Mrs. Zhang looks like she doesn’t know how to cook, but she is actually very good at cooking. In the past, she often cooked for her husband and children, but now she rarely cooks by herself.
Zhang He said that his mother had become lazy, but that was not the case. It was because there were more and more things going on in the house, and Mrs. Zhang rarely had time to cook.
Zhang Gong and Mrs. Zhang have only four children. On the surface, they seem to have nothing to do, but in fact they have a lot to do. As one of the four major generals, among other things, there are a lot of social activities on weekdays. Besides, the Zhang family still has relatives. Some of these relatives are very good, but some are not.
When Zhang Gong and his two sons came to the dining room after bathing and dressing, they saw Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yue chatting happily with the tenth prince.
Zhang Gong saw his wife and daughter smiling very tenderly when they faced Zhao Yao, and for a moment he thought he was dazzled.
After Zhang Gong and the others were seated, they began to have dinner.
During the meal, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yue kept picking up food for Zhao Yao.
The roast goose cooked by Mrs. Zhang is very delicious. The roast goose cooked by the chef of Jingcheng Delicacy Building and the imperial chef of the Imperial Kitchen is not as good as the roast goose cooked by Mrs. Zhang. However, Mrs. Zhang does not cook roast goose on weekdays, unless it is an important day.
Today, Mrs. Zhang specially cooked roast goose. She immediately handed the two thighs of the roast goose to Zhao Yao.
Zhang He originally wanted to eat a goose thigh, but he didn't expect that his mother wouldn't give him one. It was really... He seriously doubted whether he picked it up.
As soon as Zhang Gong picked up a piece of roast goose, Mrs. Zhang snatched it away, and then he watched helplessly as his roast goose entered the tenth prince's bowl.
The same is true for Zhang Jiang and Zhang Tao. As soon as they picked up the roast goose, their mother snatched it away with chopsticks.
Mrs. Zhang saw that her father and son had already eaten two or three pieces of roast goose, so she stopped letting them eat.
"Aunt Zhang, the roast goose you cooked is so delicious, 10,000 times better than the one cooked by the royal chef in the palace." Zhao Yao was not exaggerating. The roast goose cooked by Mrs. Zhang is indeed delicious.
"Your Highness, if you like to eat, then eat more." Mrs. Zhang smiled brightly and said in a very gentle tone, "Your Highness, if you want to eat roast goose in the future, just tell Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang will cook it for you."
"Okay." Zhao Yao was not polite at all, "It's really delicious. This is the best roast goose I have ever eaten."
Mrs. Zhang was so elated by the praise that she picked up a few pieces of roast goose and put them into Zhao Yao's bowl.
Zhang Gong and the others looked at Mrs. Zhang in disbelief. Mrs. Zhang noticed their dissatisfied eyes and glared at them fiercely. They were instantly frightened, and they all lowered their heads and continued to eat honestly.
Zhao Yao has been fed by Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yue, and his small mouth is too busy to pay attention to other things.
Zhang He whispered to Chu Huan sitting next to him: "I think the boss is my mother's biological son, and I picked him up."
Chu Huan glanced sideways at Zhang He, whose fat face was full of grievances, "Do you dare to say this to your aunt?"
"Don't dare." If he said this to his mother, his mother would definitely say that he picked it up and regret picking him up.
Zhang Gong and the others saw that they had no share of the roast goose, so they had no choice but to focus on other dishes. As a result, as soon as he picked up a piece of meat, Mrs. Zhang snatched it away again.
He found that as long as they ate meat, his wife would snatch it from them. This was really too much, since there was obviously so much more.
Zhang Gong wanted to protest to Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang glanced at her coldly. He immediately showed a flattering smile to Mrs. Zhang, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat and put it into Zhao Yao's bowl.
Zhang Jiang and the others saw Zhang Gong being so spineless, and all of them looked at him with hatred.
Chu Huan, Shen Sen and Song Jicai pretended that they didn't see anything and kept their heads down as they ate their food obediently. The boss is here today, and they can't eat more meat. The delicious meat was put into the boss's bowl by the aunt.
Zhang Gong and others saw that Zhao Yao was small and thin, so they thought he couldn't eat more than a few bowls of rice, but they didn't expect that he ate four bowls of rice in a row.
When it comes to cooking, His Highness is really like an emperor.
The emperor was also very good at eating when he was young. He could eat four or five bowls of rice in one meal.
Mrs. Zhang smiled from ear to ear when she saw that Zhao Yao loved the food she cooked so much. She was worried that Zhao Yao would have stomach discomfort if he ate too much, so she thoughtfully prepared Xiaoshi pills for Zhao Yao.
After dinner, Zhang He and the others took Zhao Yao to play in the sand table.
Zhang Gong thought that Zhao Yao was learning the art of war from He Lianfang, and wanted to test how Zhao Yao was doing, so he went with him.
Zhang He and the others were very surprised when they saw that his father wanted to play in the sandbox with them. You know, they usually play in the sandbox, and his father and brothers often laugh at them for playing house.
"Brother, second brother, do you dare to play with our boss? Our boss is very powerful." Zhang He felt that he would definitely get revenge tonight.
Zhang Jiang and Zhang Tao had long heard from Zhang Gong that the tenth prince was learning the art of war from the God of War He Lianfang. They have never seen the God of War, but they have heard a lot about the God of War. However, they are hesitant about those things because the legend is so amazing. Although their father said it was true, they still didn't believe it since they hadn't really seen it.
They couldn't ask the God of War for advice, but now that they had the opportunity to compete with the God of War's disciples, they certainly wouldn't miss it.
"Your Highness, the two of us are asking you for advice."
"Ah?" Zhao Yao waved his hand quickly, "Brother Zhang, you are too polite. I should be the one asking you for advice."
"Boss, you are better than my elder brother and the others. Don't be afraid of them. They are no match for you." Zhang He didn't know where he got the confidence. He felt that Zhao Yao would definitely be able to defeat his two brothers.
Zhao Yao: "..." Xiao Heizi, thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I am really no match for your two brothers. Your two brothers have followed your father on the battlefield and killed enemies.
"Your Highness, please enlighten me!"
"Brother Zhang, I'm asking you to teach me." Zhao Yao didn't want to do whatever he wanted to do, but now that he was on the line, he had to bite the bullet and start a "war" with the two young generals.
The Zhang family's sand table is very large and very realistic, with roads, rivers, mountains and other things included, as well as cities and other things.
The fighting conditions of both sides are similar, especially the number of armies is the same.
Zhang Jiang and Zhang Tao did not fight Zhao Yao together, but Zhang Jiang competed with Zhao Yao first. As Zhang Gong's eldest son, he entered the military camp since he was a child, and has been studying and fighting with Zhang Gong. Because of this, he received seven or eight points of Zhang Gong's true biography, and he is the leader among the younger generation of generals.
Zhang Gong, Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yue, and Zhang Tao stood aside to watch, while Zhang He and Song Jicai stood beside Zhao Yao to cheer for him.
At first, both sides were testing, but soon Zhang Jiang took the initiative and attacked with overwhelming momentum, forcing Zhao Yao to retreat step by step.
Zhang He and the others looked worried when they saw Zhao Yao being defeated by his elder brother. However, Zhang Gong, Mrs. Zhang, and Zhang Yue's expressions were a little subtle.
Just when Zhang Jiang thought he was about to win, something changed. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into Zhao Yao's trap. It was too late. Zhao Yao did not give him a chance to fight back and annihilated his army in one fell swoop.
"Boss wins!" Zhang He and the four of them cheered.
They didn't understand how Zhao Yao turned defeat into victory just now. It was clear that the boss looked like he was about to lose just now.
Zhang Jiang stared at the sand table with wide eyes, disbelief written all over his face.
He couldn't believe that he lost, what the hell was going on.
Zhang Tao on the side didn't react, and didn't understand why his eldest brother suddenly lost.
Zhang Yue looked at his elder brother's unbelievable stupidity and laughed at him unceremoniously: "Brother, you fell into His Highness's trap from the beginning. You fell into the trap set by His Highness step by step, and you still thought that I was about to win, but I didn’t expect that you had already become His Highness’s prey.” In terms of the art of war, Zhang Yue’s talent is higher than Zhang Jiang and Zhang Tao.
Zhang Gong smiled and praised: "Your Highness is so clever." He was indeed the apprentice taught by the madman He Lianfang. He was cunning and unpredictable.
"Uncle Zhang, thank you." Zhao Yao hugged Zhang Jiang and said, "Brother Zhang accepted." Zhao Yao felt that he could beat Zhang Jiang because Zhang Jiang underestimated him from the beginning.
Zhang Jiang had already understood at this time. He looked at Zhao Yao with a somewhat complicated look, and immediately clasped his fists towards Zhao Yao and said, "I lost. Your Highness is so clever." After reacting, Zhang Jiang only felt chilled in his heart.
"Your Highness, I want to ask you for advice." Zhang Tao squeezed his elder brother away and stood in front of the sand table.
"Brother Zhang, please."
This time it was Zhao Yao who took the initiative to attack, using a move that He Lianfang had only taught him during this period of time.
Zhang Tao was able to resist at first, but gradually his low strength could not block Zhao Yao's attacks, and then he retreated steadily, and finally was completely defeated.
When Zhang Gong saw Zhao Yao's strategy, he thought of the battle twenty or thirty years ago, and his scalp felt slightly numb.
Zhang He and the other four didn't understand and didn't see anything strange about the battle just now, but Zhang Gong and Mrs. Zhang had heard of that battle. Thinking back to this day, they still find it terrifying.
Mrs. Zhang did not expect that Zhao Yao was so handsome but so cunning and ruthless in his military tactics.
She sighed in her heart, she was indeed the disciple taught by that lunatic!
Zhang Yue looked at Zhao Yao in horror. She suddenly felt that beneath His Royal Highness's cute appearance, there lived a very ferocious monster.
He Lianfang is not only called a madman, but also often called a monster.
Zhang Jiang and Zhang Tao looked at each other for a long time before they realized what had happened, and then there were looks of horror on their faces. They had read about this battle in books. It was a battle in which the God of War He Lianfang attacked a general of the previous dynasty.
Zhang Yue squeezed away her two brothers and asked Zhao Yao for advice.
The condition for Zhao Yao's choice this time was that there were few people. What He Lianfang often taught him was that in a war, it is not about who has more troops or more equipment, but about the brains, the brains of the generals.
A general who uses his troops like a god can often defeat many with less, even without spending a single soldier.
Zhang Yue was a little more powerful than her two brothers. Even though she had twice as many soldiers, she still lost to Zhao Yao, and she was defeated miserably.
Halfway through the fight, Zhang Yue thought she had won. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao made a formation she had never seen before and trapped her and the soldiers in the formation. No matter which way she and the soldiers went, it was a dead end.
Zhang Gong and Mrs. Zhang had never seen this formation before. They stood aside and studied it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out a way to break the formation.
"Your Highness, I lost." Zhang Yue was convinced that she had lost. She hurriedly asked Zhao Yao for advice, "Your Highness, what kind of formation is this? I have never seen it before."
Zhang Gong also asked Zhao Yao for advice: "Your Highness, I have never seen the formation you used."
"This formation is called the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation..." Zhao Yao introduced Zhang Gong and the others in detail what the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation was.
Zhang Gong and the others were shocked after hearing this.
"I am using the simplest Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation." The second uncle taught him the simplest Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation. The second uncle said that the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation can be improved, and the effect will be even more amazing when the time comes. Of course, the second uncle wants him to find ways to improve himself.
Zhang Gong had heard of the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, which was created by He Lianfang. He remembered that this formation was made very invincible by He Lianfang, and it was this formation that was used to defeat the former God of War.
Zhang Yue and the others were surprised: "Why have you never heard of this formation?"
Zhang Gong raised his hand and slapped Zhang Jiang and the others on the back of their heads, and said angrily: "There are many formations that you haven't heard of."
"Your Highness, can you tell us about this formation in detail?"
"Sister Yue, I don't know much about this formation. I'm still figuring it out." Zhao Yao has just learned this formation. "Sister Yue, you can study it yourself."
Zhang Yue and Zhang Jiang were very interested in this formation, and the three siblings immediately started discussing it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang He and the others to take Zhao Yao to rest in his yard.
Tonight, Zhao Yao will stay at Zhang's house. Song Jicai and the three of them also stayed at Zhang's house and did not return to their own homes.
In fact, Song Jicai and his family live next door to the Zhang family.
At the beginning, the four of them deliberately chose to be together.
In the Shen family next door, Shen Hu called his eldest son and second son into the study after dinner.
Shen Hu’s eldest son is called Shen Yan, his second son is called Shen Miao, and his younger son is called Shen Sen.
The three brothers don't look much alike, and all three sons look thin.
Shen Hu told his two sons what the emperor had told him.
"The Emperor specifically told you that you must recognize His Highness as your master, and you must be loyal to His Highness for the rest of your life."
Shen Miao looked seriously and asked: "Dad, has the Emperor decided on His Majesty the Tenth?"
"Yes, the emperor told us personally, otherwise he wouldn't have let you go to Lingnan." Shen Hu said in a serious tone.
"Dad, don't worry, I will always be loyal to His Highness the Tenth Highness." Shen Miao knew in her heart that if the emperor didn't trust the four of them, he would never tell the four of them about this matter. "After we go to Lingnan, we will definitely protect Lingnan and live up to the emperor's expectations."
"What is the specific situation in Lingnan? You first go to Southern Xinjiang to find Lao Yan. He should know." Shen Hu ordered, "He will tell you what to do."
"Yes, Dad."
Shen Yan on the side suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect it to be His Highness the Tenth. I always thought it was His Highness the Fourth."
The first update came a little late, and there was a second update in the evening.
The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation was from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" I watched and I borrowed it. The eight gates refer to Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. ,
If you enter through the Shengmen, Jingmen, or open the door, it will be auspicious. Entering through the injured door, startled door, or closed door will result in injury. If you enter through Dumen or the Gate of Death, you will perish.
Zhang Gong: Madam, I also want to eat roast goose.
Mrs. Zhang: Get out of here.
Zhang Gong: I’ll get out right away (crying inside)
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message! Ask for everything!
