Chapter 28 A Line in Chaos
Chapter 28 A line in chaos
Yun Zhao has lived for two lifetimes and has never experienced such a big scene like this.
Within one day, six dressed matchmakers came to visit his mother, hoping to send her best daughter to the Yun family mansion.
That's right, it was sent to the Yun family. The family they represented did not seem to care about the status of their daughter in the Yun family.
I just wanted to send my daughter to the Yun family's not luxurious mansion.
Most of these daughters are daughters who have little wealth. According to my mother, some of them are really good-looking.
It was not until this time that Yun Zhao understood some things he had seen in history books before, such as the maid in Cai Jing's family who was specially responsible for cutting scallions, and the maid in Yan Shifan's family who was specially used as a spittoon.
This is disgusting! Especially Yan Shifan!!!
Of course, the most disgusting person is the father and brother of these daughters!!!
Yun Niang doesn't think so. Yun's own family has eleven daughters to be married, and each daughter is well-educated by her.
Except for Gao Jie who was cheaper, the rest of the others were not married with Yun Zhao's insistence.
The girls who came out of the bandit village with all kinds of poor and grieving appearances disappeared completely.
Instead, there are eleven standard ladies of the great family!
That's right, Yun Niang taught her daughters in this way, and she taught them according to her imagination. After all, her mother's family of the head teachers of Xi'an Prefecture is not considered a big family. She has little knowledge and can only rely on imagination or rumors.
Here, Qian Duoduo gave Yun Niang a lot of ideas... Then, Yun Zhao had eleven more sisters who knew the text and verified the words, could settle accounts, ride horses, and even fired bird guns.
Of course, Qian Duoduo's charming appearance that he strongly emphasized was rejected by Yun Niang.
Women are very troublesome, especially after studying and gaining knowledge. In addition, Yun did not ban books like "The West Chamber" that teaches bad women, which made their self-confidence expand to the extreme.
The serious consequence of doing this is that the honest farmer and the tough robber are no longer the best son-in-law in their eyes. They like thin people, clean people, handsome people, and scumbags who laugh before they speak!
The template for the Yun woman to choose a husband is ready-made. One is that she has long hands and long legs and has a positive and heroic facial features - Gao Jie!
The other is that the appearance is more refined than them, and the money is less!
As for Yun Zhao, he is not as handsome as Gao Jie, and is not as beautiful as a little money, so he has never been the best son-in-law they recognize.
This hurts Yun Zhao very much. Gao Jie is a guy who is accustomed to seducing his boss's wife, and he has evil deeds, so how can he be a good match?
As for Qian Shaoshao, Yun Zhao fantasized about marrying Qian Shaoshao's woman and thought that woman should be very pitiful. Before the woman got into the quilt at night, she looked a face that was more beautiful than her. She didn't know how this woman should deal with herself!
Yun's family is still in a dormant period and is not yet at a time to live and work in peace, so only the gentlemen in Yushan Academy are the good matches for these women.
But Xu Yuanshou was unwilling to do so.
Lantian County, without outsiders, has been in a leisurely place. After living here for a long time, people seem to have forgotten that the large tracts of land outside Lantian County are still in a state of war.
Li Hongji's army has been patrolling the territory east of Tongguan, and Zhang Bingzhong's army has also conquered cities and plundered the land in Hubei. The vast Lantian County was just sandwiched between two major bandits.
Sun Chuanting led his already-established Qin army to stay in Xi'an City. No matter how corrupted Li Hongji was to the east of Tongguan, he still ignored the government army to the east of Tongguan.
In the evening, Yunfu and Yunmeng came back.
Zhang Bingzhong wants to use Shangnan County!
Shangnan County is the southeast gate of Shaanxi. After passing through the mountainous Shangnan County, you can enter the rich Lantian County.
Yun Zhao certainly knew where the military significance of Zhang Bingzhong wanted to use Shangnan.
Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court's bandit suppression operation was about to win, and the bandits of the 13th Battalion held an important military meeting in Xingyang.
At this military meeting, they made an important decision, that is, no longer fight head-on with the imperial army and start to flee in all directions!
Under the leadership of the King of Rebellion, Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong broke through to the east with weak troops in the court.
The main force of this Eastern Route Army is Zhang Bingzhong's troops.
His troops fought bravely, and even defeated prefectures and counties such as Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui, and directly pointed to Fengyang, Zhongdu, a key location in the Ming Dynasty.
It surrounded Fengyang City on a foggy morning.
In less than half a day, the 20,000 official troops guarding Fengyang were wiped out, the guard general Zhu Guozheng and others were killed, and the Fengyang prefect Yan Rongxuan was captured. After counting his crimes in front of the people, he beheaded on the spot.
Fengyang of Zhongdu was captured by bandits, and Zhang Bingzhong, Gao Yingxiang and others divided their troops.
Because we cannot take away the mountain of victory and the food in the treasury.
Therefore, at the suggestion of the adviser, Zhang Bingzhong followed the example of Wangang Village that he could not take away the spoils to the local poor peasants, and forced the people of all towns to cut down hundreds of thousands of pine and cypress trees from the imperial tomb, and demolished the surrounding buildings and the Huangjue Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk.
After recruiting a large number of people in Fengyang, Zhongdu, in order to cut off the retreat of these people, Zhang Bingzhong suddenly ordered the emperor's ancestral tomb to be dug, and at the same time killed all the wealthy families in Fengyang.
The news reached the capital. After the emperor learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes and ran to Taimiao to cry loudly.
He also ordered court officials to do official duties with vegetarian food and vegetarian food, expressing their condolences.
In a rage, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his post as Minister of War, cut off the heads of the Governor Fengyang and the Inspector Censor, and then pulled out the five provincial governors who had been dismissed from their posts and were sentenced to death.
Despite this harshness, the official army still could not annihilate all Zhang Bingzhong's troops.
After Zhang Bingzhong captured Fengyang, he led his troops south and conquered Luzhou, Anqing, Hezhou and Chuzhou one after another, and fought along the Yangtze River to Yizheng, Jiangsu, and was invincible all the way.
Faced with a large number of group training organized by the gentry of Jiangnan, Zhang Bingzhong strictly abides by the strategies formulated in Xingyang, did not attack head-on, and chose to return to the west.
Through Yingshan, Huoshan, he met with Ma Shouying's troops in Macheng, Hubei.
Then, he entered Henan from Hubei, and now he is preparing to re-enter Guanzhong from Shangnan, so as to achieve his goal of joining with Li Hongji east of Tongguan.
Yun Zhao, who was in union with Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji, didn't care. What he cared about was that Zhang Bingzhong wanted to pass through Lantian and the area west of Tongguan in Hua County to meet with Li Hongji in Tongguan.
"Let Zhang Bingzhong's more than 100,000 troops pass by Lantian County, are we still left?"
After hearing Yun Fu and Yun's sudden report, Yun Zhao smiled and shook his head.
"If our entire army is dispatched and defending Shangnan, the terrain is dangerous, and we have sufficient soldiers and food, and many firearms, Zhang Bingzhong will not be able to get through.
However, in this way, our strength will be completely exposed.”
"When will Zhang Bingzhong's messenger pass by Shangnan?"
"Their army is still in Nanyang. When we come to Shangnan, we must at least pass Xiangyang Prefecture. Even if he captures Xiangyang Prefecture and arrives in Shangnan, it will be in April next year."
"What else did Zhang Bingzhong's messenger say?"
"They guaranteed that the army would pass through Shangnan and Lantian to ensure that there was no offense."
After hearing Yun Meng say this, Yun Zhao looked at Yun Meng and smiled and said, "Do you believe it?"
Yun Meng shook his head simply and said, "Don't believe it!"
"Since you don't believe it, then cut off the messenger's head and let Zhang Bingzhong completely dispel this idea."
Yun Fu smiled and said, "We have been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers in recent years. People have really regarded us as a pig, so they think it can be decided."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Whether Li Hongji, who was determined to use Guanzhong as an old camp base or Zhang Bingzhong who was wandering around the world, their temptations to our Lantian County have never stopped.
Whether it is Qianxian, Fufeng, or Shangnan, we have never stopped fighting in the past five years, and every battle ends with our victory.
Gao Yigong was Li Hongji's confidant, and Ai Nengqi was even more a warlike man under Zhang Bingzhong. They were both in Qianxian and Shangnandu, and they were bleeding.
They should have known the power of Yun's firearms.
So, Zhang Bingzhong could not have known that Lantian County is the fundamental key to my Yun family. He would never allow him to borrow the passage. If he wanted to pass by my Lantian County, he could only kill everyone in my Yun family.
So, what did he send an envoy to my Yun family do?"
Yun Fu frowned and said, "Is this someone's counter-espionage plan?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "How can an envoy play the counter-espionage plan? There is no one in our family who can make them alienate."
"I mean Sun Chuanting! The Sun Chuanting who just killed Gao Yingxiang and became my governor of Shaanxi, don't worry that Zhang Bingzhong told Sun Chuanting about our dealings with him, which forced me to rebel. Whether he borrowed the road or not, as long as Yun's rebellion, Sun Chuanting, who was hiding in Xi'an, would be in danger."
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This kind of thing needs a very exquisite connection to work. Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates can't do this."
Seeing that Yun Zhao and Yun Fu were not talking much, Yun Meng whispered: "Does Zhang Bingzhong really want to borrow the truth?"
Yun Zhao waved his hand irritably, "It's not that Zhang Bingzhong wants to use the truth, it's that Sun Chuanting is testing whether we have the possibility of joining the bandits.
After all, Zhang Bingzhong is now in Nanyang Prefecture, close to Xiangyang Prefecture. Once we merge with Zhang Bingzhong, Hanzhong will become a major channel to communicate with Hubei and Guanzhong. In addition, Li Hongji, east of Tongguan, the fall of Guanzhong is in the palm of his hands.
If we close the important road from Hanzhong to Shaanxi, he will be able to deal with Li Hongji east of Tongguan without being attacked from both sides."
"Xiao Zhao, do you think the messenger was a dead soldier sent by Sun Chuanting?"
Yun Meng's frown gradually loosened.
