My father has another baby, which is a good thing. After all, only my father is capable of carrying out the important task of expanding the Lao Gao family.
It's not that I'm incapable, but my hair hasn't even grown yet, so I'm still trying to get better at growing it.
Furthermore, although Gao Zhang was not impressed when his father praised General Liu Faliu so much, Gao Zhang trusted his father's vision of people.
Just because you don't know about your past life doesn't mean that the other person isn't powerful.
After reading the letter with satisfaction, Gao Zhang, who was tired and happy, laid himself back on the couch and had a sweet dream.
In the dream, when I returned to Bianliang, Tokyo with my victory in pacifying Jiangnan, there were six or seven more children at home, all of whom called me brother.
It scared Gao Zhang out of his wits. No, no, no, my mother must not be capable of this. After all, Lao Gao's family does not have the gene for twins or multiple births.

Zhu Zhonglie was different from Zhu Gui. Zhu Gui was appointed as a general only because he and Zhu Meng were the same grandfather.
Zhu Zhonglie was responsible for helping the Zhu family train their guards many years ago. He was also an old and steady confidant that Zhu Meng was very fond of.
This time, Zhu Zhonglie was appointed to go on a mission, and he was specifically told to proceed with caution. Zhu Zhonglie naturally did not dare to neglect.
Before leaving, he swore an oath to the heavens and the earth that he would obey the king's request and would never act blindly.
Six thousand men and horses, only twenty miles away from Suzhou, had already slowed down. Zhu Zhonglie sent out reconnaissance cavalry to guard against an ambush or sneak attack.
Finally, we arrived at the border of Suzhou and Changzhou safely and set up camp about twenty miles away from Wangting Town.
Just when Zhu Zhonglie was commanding the army to set up camp, a report came from his troops, and another letter of war from the imperial governor was sent to him.
Zhu Zhonglie only glanced twice, even though he was not Zhu Meng, but after seeing the content of the war letter clearly, his eyelids were still twitching, and he wanted to say a few words to the other party's eighteenth generation ancestor.
The content of the letter was not complicated after excluding those sentences that could make the Three Corpse Gods jump.
This means that the governor decided that he could only stay in Wangting Town for another five days, if within five days.
If Zhu Meng does not surrender, then he, the governor, will personally lead an army to march into Suzhou. When the king's army arrives, the city of Suzhou will be destroyed by the king's army.
When the time comes, you gang of rebels, just wash your necks obediently...
"Within five days..."
Zhu Zhonglie stroked his thick beard, which was nearly a foot long, and frowned.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhonglie called the deputy general and entrusted the affairs of the camp to him.
He personally led dozens of riders out of the camp and headed north.

"Sir, is it too dangerous? After all, the Zhu family's thieves might be able to arrange for a spy to sneak in."
When Gao Zhang heard Fu'an's worried advice, he laughed and continued to look at the handsome twelve-year-old boy in the mirror.
"If they had such a mind, they wouldn't dare to attack Wangting Town now."
And the robe Gao Zhang was wearing at this moment was naturally not an official uniform, but a robe he usually wore.
As for the official robe, I didn't want to wear it at first, but I thought about it. Gao Zhang thought it would be better to take him with him, so he asked Fu An to carry her on his back. Fang Baihua, who was pretending to be a man, wanted Gao Zhang to agree to allow her to accompany him.
She even put on some disguises on her body. At least it looked like her figure was still very high-profile, but no longer so slim and graceful.
Seeing Miss Fang Baihua standing beside her proudly, she thought her disguise was quite successful.
Gao Zhang is really unable to complain, even though you have made efforts in appearance.
But at least, can you please stop painting your lips so beautifully, and can you decorate your pretty face?
But in the end, Gao Zhang still raised his thumbs towards the young lady, praising that if you don't look at the face, you really can't tell the young lady's identity of the opposite sex.
By the way, someone brought a weft hat to Miss Fang Baihua, and it was finally no longer so eye-catching and conspicuous.
And Yang Douzhi also knew that he could not persuade Gao Zhang, so he could only follow this small private interview team in private.
With the arrival of imperial soldiers from various states one after another, the camp is undergoing expansion and construction.
The soldiers would not stay in the camp twelve hours a day. At this moment, just after lunch, the soldiers would gather on the banks of the canal, bragging and beating in groups in those places.
From a distance, it looks like a large tour group is visiting the Grand Canal Scenic Area.

About a mile away from the main camp, a dozen rural soldiers were chatting idly.
It's midsummer now, and the crops in the fields are growing vigorously. I don't know how long this war will last.
Someone still has to take care of the farm work at home. If we wait until autumn and this battle is not over, I am afraid that the autumn harvest will be delayed.
"You are still in the mood to worry about the crops, and you don't even think about whether we can go back alive. This is serious."
"Both the Zhu family and his son are murderous masters. Now that they have rebelled against the imperial court, they might be attacked one day."
"Can we stop those rebels?"
After hearing the complaint of one of the rural soldiers, the group of rural soldiers who were still chatting about things in the fields couldn't help but fell silent.
"Who said we can't stop it?" At this moment, a clear voice sounded from not far away.
The group of Zixiang soldiers all turned their heads and saw a handsome young man in rich robes and splendid clothes walking towards them with a smile.
Behind him were several followers who looked around warily.
Seeing this scene, a fellow soldier in his early forties immediately became happy. He quickly stood up and saluted with a smile.
"This young gentleman, is it possible that you are also here to fight?"
"Yes, I also heard that the Zhu family's father and son were plotting to rebel in Suzhou, so I decided to stay and defeat the Zhu family's bandits together with you."
As soon as these words came out, all the rural soldiers present were really amused.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a guard and entourage behind this little baby, I would have slapped this little baby on the buttocks and told him to go home and find his mother to nurse, and not to mess around here.
And one of the leaders of this group of rural soldiers stood up.
"Young man, please don't mess around. People will die in a war. You'd better leave Wangting Town as soon as possible."
"I heard that the Zhu family rebels were all murderous. Not to mention children, even those who were officials, they dared to directly kill and drink their hearts out."
Hearing this, Gao Zhang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I don't think I have ever publicized it like this, right?
Well, this kind of thing does not need publicity at all. It is normal to spread rumors.
"Are you all afraid?"
"???"
