That's what he said, but Zhang Yue didn't tell Seventeen Niang about the danger of going to Qingtang.

Although Li He's poem "Why Not a Man with Wu Hook" is very powerful and has the ambition of a scholar to become a prince.

But Li He, who wrote this poem, did not live long. If he had known Chen Tao, he would have known the phrase "The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream", and he would have understood that war is not the imagination of scholars. So romantic.

This time, Luowu City, which Zhong Er secretly sent troops to attack by Shu Han Jiang, happened to be by the Wuding River.

When the battle of Haoshuichuan was defeated, the Song army lost more than 10,000 people. Han Qi left after hearing the news. The wives and children of the fallen soldiers cried bitterly in front of Han Qi. Seeing this, Han Qi hid his face and wept. He mentioned this battle in front of Zhang Yue. At this time, I was still almost in tears.

Han Qi, who was originally the strongest opponent of Xixia, also became defensive along with Fan Zhongyan after this battle.

The Song Dynasty also officially switched to strategic defense against Xixia. Facts have proved that shouting loud slogans is useless, but this time sending troops to Hengshan means that the Song Dynasty officially switched from strategic defense to strategic offense.

The so-called "bones by the Wuding River" can be used to beat the scholar Wan Huhou and pour cold water on him.

He sent troops deep into the hinterland of Xixia. Without Dong Xiang's support and cooperation, he would have been alone. If Xixia abandoned the main force of the Song army in front of Hengshan and blindly used all his strength to deal with his partial army, then... he would probably have to explain it. .

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue looked at Qi Niang and said, "Be at home well, if it were me..."

When the Seventeenth Mother heard Zhang Yue's words, she couldn't hold back anymore. She couldn't help turning her back to prevent Zhang Yue from seeing her crying.

An ordinary woman might say, I don't allow you to say such things, but Seventeenth Mother said, "What if it is?"

"It's nothing, take good care of Gen'er and the baby in your belly while I'm away."

"I know it myself." Seventeenth Mother.

Zhang Yue thought about how the Seventeenth Mother was very angry when she and Zhang Dun went to Lintan Book Wall to get angry. Now that she is deep among the armies, how worried should she be.

Zhang Yue still remembered that time when Shi Qi Niang was angry, he made her happy, and the other party burst into laughter.

At that time, the couple only saw each other for a few months, but it seemed like they had been apart for ten years. After her ice and snow melted, he stretched out his arms to hug her. Seventeenth Mother rubbed her hands with her pink neck hanging down. Zhang Yue embraced her into the tent, took off her clothes and untied her hair, and had a happy night until dawn.

The tenderness between husband and wife at that moment was better than countless others in the world.

Zhang Yue held Seventeenth Niang's hand, pulled her against his shoulder, and whispered.

The so-called young couple comes to accompany them all the time.

Compared to the young people who love each other to death, Zhang Yue prefers to stay together like this, ear to ear. It would be great if they could stay like this for the rest of their lives.

Even if someone laughs at him and thinks he is a short-tempered hero and a son and daughter, he doesn't care.

Outside Zhang Zhi, Mrs. Yu and her servants were packing boxes and cages, arranging for Zhang Yue's chariot to follow Zhang Zhi. Zhang Zhi's wife, Lu Shi, and Chen's mother happened to buy Zhang Yue and Chai Sui food on the way.

During this period, officials who knew that Zhang Yue was going to take office came to see him, and they were received by Li Kui and others.

Neither husband nor wife wanted to miss this moment of togetherness.

The noise outside was like fireworks in the world.

The Seventeenth Mother said: "When I was young, I liked the bustling and bustling, but now I only like common people and vegetarian food. After you become an official, I want to build a house near the lake and plant ten acres of vegetable fields around the house. When the spring is beautiful in March and April, I can go boating with you. On the lake, it’s a pity that the water chestnuts are not yet ripe, otherwise there would be no fun in peeling them off.”

Zhang Yue said: "This time when I go to the northwest, if I make some meritorious deeds, I can retire. Anyway, the clan is supported by Ah Xi, who is more appreciated by the officials than me. I will make way for him." Come forward, otherwise uncle and nephew will be in court at the same time, which will cause gossip, so I can accompany you to build a house by the lake..."

The couple talked all night long, but neither of them wanted to fall asleep because they were about to leave. They talked all night long, and then Seventeenth Mother got tired and took a nap next to the cave.

The next day, when it was still dark, Zhang Yue had already stood up and set off. He saw his wife's vest rising slightly and knew that the moment he stood up, she had woken up, but Shi Qi Niang continued to pretend to be asleep.

The two of them didn't know what to say as parting words. They were both afraid of being hypocritical.

Zhang Yue left the room but saw that Zhang Shi had been busy all night. Zhang Yue couldn't help but shook his head when he saw that Zhang Shi had packed so many things for him on the road. After so many years, his brother is still the same as before.

Zhang Shi said: "Actually, my brothers and sisters are all ready, but I always feel that there are too few. If you go to the northwest, it is so bitterly cold, so you must remember to put on more clothes. I heard that the snow there is at least three feet deep. Let's People in the south have never experienced such hardship, and I have prepared medicine for you to adapt to the climate."

Listening to Zhang Shi's ramble, Zhang Yue knew that his brother didn't know what to say to him now. He could only choose to wear more clothes, eat more, and take care of his body.

It's very much like the nagging of parents.

But I didn't know how to cherish it when I was young, but now I feel it is more useful. Zhang Yue hugged Zhang Shi and shed tears and said: "Brother, take care of yourself!"

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, just take care of yourself."

Then Zhang Yue walked to the window sill and took a look at the sleeping Zhang Gen. Then he went outside the mansion. In the courtyard, Tang Jiu, Zhang Gong, Huang Haoyi, and Peng Jingyi were all waiting. As servants, they also accompanied him to Qinzhou for his appointment.

Yu and Lu both stood aside and said, "Uncle, you are a scholar. Don't go into battle to fight. Just protect yourself in the battle."

"Okay. Tang Jiu and the others will protect me." After saying that, Zhang Yue got on his horse and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, niece-in-law, I'm leaving."

Then Zhang Yue marched with his whip, followed by Meng Cong and a group of soldiers.

At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, the remaining stars in the sky are dim, and the sky in the east is white.

Zhang Yue rode his horse in Bianjing City, the bells on the horse's necks rang, and he gradually moved away from the most noisy and lively place in the Song Dynasty.

After he went to the Imperial College to study at the age of twelve, he spent most of his time in Bianjing City. Saying goodbye to his family like this, he felt so melancholy that words cannot describe it.

But there was always something he had to do, something he had to do.

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of cavalry waiting here. The other party bowed to Zhang Yue and said, "This villain is Han Tong, the general of Han Xianggong's family. He was ordered by Han Xianggong to escort Shiren to Qinzhou!"

"The carriage has been prepared. Please come in and rest."

"I'm tired of having a headache."

Zhang Yue nodded and got into the carriage to rest. Tang Jiu, Zhang Gong and Han Jiang's cavalry surrounded Zhang Yue and set out on the road.

As for Huang Haoyi and Peng Jingyi, they walked slowly behind with their Xiang army entourage.

The military situation was urgent and Zhang Yue had no time to stay.

After the carriage left the gate of Bianjing City, it galloped down Shangguan Road. Zhang Yue raised the curtain and glanced at Bianjing City in the distance, then closed his eyes and took a nap in the bumpy carriage.

The carriage moved very fast, almost changing horses but not people along the way, and it was traveling all night.

However, we arrived at Tongguan on the 23rd. Although we had not reached Shaanxi yet, we watched the brigade's mule and donkey carts marching hand in hand with Zhang Yue towards Tongguan on the official road.

The cars carry armor, arrows, and mainly grain and grass baggage, and are being transported to Shaanxi in a steady stream.

There were still a few mule carts and donkey carts, but I saw more people pushing Taiping carts and chicken carts forward.

Everywhere you can see workers sweating profusely pushing carts, struggling to move forward on the snowy and muddy roads. The carts rolled over and made an unpleasant rattling sound.

Zhang Yue stopped the carriage and stopped by the roadside to look at the endless procession. At this moment, he sincerely sighed at the terrifying power that the state machine would have once it started running.

A few words from the princes in the temple and the official plan to capture Hengshan in a decisive battle turned into countless orders, urging these people to leave their homes and join this vast team.

Zhang Yue got off the carriage and started chatting with the servants who were resting on the side.

"Old man, is Tongguan Road easy to walk?"

The laborer was somewhat elderly and said, "It's hard to leave, but you have to leave!"

"How many times has the old man passed by?"

"I can't remember this clearly. I went there twice when I was young. At that time, Li Yuanhao said he wanted to attack Xijing, so I was sent to the Long March. Now, is the imperial court going to use troops again? How are we living today? "

The other party let out a long sigh.

Zhang Yue could only laugh awkwardly.

The common people don't know what the grand strategy of seizing Hengshan is. What they do know is that they can finish the job by transporting the things in their hands to the field. Don't make any mistakes on the way. Thank God if they don't get exploited too much by the officials in charge. .

No matter how grand the strategic goals are, they are realized in the hands of ordinary people.

For example, there is a famous saying that the victory of a certain battle was achieved by the people pushing out the victory in small carts.

On average, a frontline soldier requires at least ten civilians to provide logistical support. In other words, if Hengshan sends 20,000 Song troops, at least 200,000 civilians must be mobilized.

Zhang Yue saw someone selling barrels of wine beside the road. He immediately bought wine and invited the passing civil servants to drink together. Then he squatted with them on the dirt slope next to the official road and chatted.

Han Tong was surprised to see Zhang Yue being so informal. It seemed that Han Jiang was a courteous and virtuous corporal among officials, but in the Han family, there was a clear distinction between superior and inferior. For example, Han Jiang had never told him about the driver who had been driving cars for him all his life. One sentence.

But Zhang Yue could chat with ordinary people casually.

Seeing those people scratching fleas on their cotton-padded clothes, Zhang Yue didn't take it seriously at all.

From what they said, Zhang Yue felt fortunate that the recruitment law advocated by him and Han Jiang had been officially promoted in various states and counties. In the past, civilians who transported military rations could not get a penny, and even had to lose money if they failed to do so. .

But now, people from third-class households and below can get a lump sum of recruitment money. As for people from first- and second-class households, they don't have to suffer the hardship of running around. They only need to pay for subsidies.

It can be said that the people's sufferings were alleviated under the Conscription Law, but it was only alleviated.

Fu Bi said that he hoped that the court would not talk about military matters for twenty years, and that was probably what he said.

Too many people who read history always think of themselves as emperors and ministers above the temple. If they were now ordinary people like these, they would have to endure all kinds of heavy labor every day, and they would also have to bear the burden of a family. With his livelihood, it is probably difficult to easily say why a man doesn’t bring Wu Gou.

Zhang Yue looked at the endless motorcade, threw the drinking utensils and chanted.

The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry waves, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I hesitated.

It is sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt.

prosperity, the people suffer;

If they die, the people will suffer.
