Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 639 Central Plains Dading
Since Zhang Wuji was resting, Su Mengqing didn't bother to disturb him.

So Su Mengqing assisted Zhao Min and others who entered the city to clean up the loot, and then led the soldiers to the Suzhou River to salvage the biggest gift he had given to Zhang Wuji.

It was past noon, and Zhang Wuji and Huo Jia were having dinner in the hall.

Huo Jia pointed to the fish on the table and said: "This fish is good and sour. But this meat dumpling tastes so greasy and unpalatable." Even though Huo Jia said so, her mouth was not idle. .The table full of Jiangnan delicacies all went into her mouth.

Seeing Huo Jia devouring his food, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

The chefs around Zhang Shicheng are all famous Qinhuai chefs.The dishes they cook are naturally incomparable to ordinary places.

Zhang Wuji also took a bite of fish at this time, and then asked: "I wonder whether the Central Plains or Persia is better in the heart of leader Huojia?"

Huo Jia swallowed his mouthful of food and then said: "Of course it's the Central Plains. Now I finally understand why Dai Qisi likes to stay in the Central Plains so much. You have beautiful silk clothes and so many delicious foods in the Central Plains. And There are all kinds of fruits. In addition to hand-made rice, what you can eat in Persia is milk tea and dates. Thinking about these things now makes me sick to my stomach. Since traveling east with you, I have eaten a lot of delicious food from the Central Plains. Unexpectedly You guys, the dishes in the Central Plains are so rich. I remember that the dishes in Bashu are spicy, and the dishes in Guangmingding are similar to those in Persia. When we were in the palace, we ate the same things, but the taste was different."

Zhang Wuji said with a smile: "It's natural. Huaiyang cuisine is unparalleled in the world. But the most outstanding thing is Shandong cuisine in the north. And the best Shandong cuisine should be Confucius. But right now The north is no longer within our control, and I can't find a cook for Shandong cuisine. Although we once controlled Qilu before, due to internal strife between Mao Gui and Zhao Jun, the land of Qilu was gained and lost. After the Northern Expedition is successful, I'll invite you to enjoy it at Duke Yansheng's mansion."

Huo Jia said with a smile: "It's a deal, just don't default on it when the time comes!"

Zhang Wuji handed a piece of carp to Huo Jia and said, "You have no joke."

This was the first time someone had served Hoja food. I don’t know why, but Hoja had a very special feeling, and this feeling didn’t seem to be what a woman of her age should have.

At this time, a gentle voice came: "It's better to love the food than to eat it. The food of Confucius is just like the people of Confucius, they are all very 'soft'. There is nothing delicious."

Zhang Wuji, Huo Jia and Xiao Zhao followed their reputation.Zhao Min and others were already standing in front of the door.

Zhang Wuji stood up to greet him, and said in a smooth tone: "Isn't this our great hero? General Zhao has worked hard to attack the city this time. I specially give you a meal with me."

Zhao Min looked at Zhou Zhiruo beside him and said, "Zhiruo, it's so funny that brother Wuji wants to find a wine companion. It seems that we need to train him to behave as a king."

Seeing that the beauties did not pay the bill, Zhang Wuji coughed awkwardly, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about something serious. How was our harvest this time?"

When Zhao Min saw that Zhang Wuji was about to talk about business, he stopped talking.

Then Zhao Min took out an account book and handed it to Zhang Wuji.Zhang Wuji briefly looked through it.

Zhao Min sat in the seat where Zhang Wuji had just been. She picked up Zhang Wuji's rice bowl and said while eating: "The harvest is good this time. All Zhang Shicheng's subordinates surrendered to us. Except for some who really have no fighting ability, all the other soldiers and horses We were incorporated. This time we integrated 7 people. And the civil and military officials under Zhang Shicheng were also willing to join us. Zhang Shicheng's 'prime minister' had personally crossed the river to lobby Yangzhou, and the defenders of the two cities of Gaoyou surrendered. Zhang Shicheng was regarded as They were wiped out by us. As for the money gained from sealing the treasury, Sister Su is still counting it. When the statistics are finished, I will hand it over to you." After reading it, Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "I didn't expect that we captured so many soldiers. We have tens of thousands of armors alone and 10,000+ weapons of all kinds. There is also gunpowder. If we integrate these, then the Northern Expedition will be overwhelming."

The girl in yellow shirt stepped forward and said, "No need, the Central Plains has been recovered by uncle and Marshal Liu."

"What! I haven't..." Zhang Wuji wanted to say, I haven't "micromanaged" yet, how could the north be recovered?

The woman in yellow shirt took out a memorial signed by Li Siqi and Liu Futong from her sleeve.This was delivered last night at an expedited speed of [-] miles.

Zhang Wuji took the memorial and read it carefully.

During the time when Zhang Wuji eliminated Zhang Shicheng, the Northern Expedition army led by Liu Futong truly became unstoppable.

Although Wang Baobao was a famous general in the world, he was the strongest general in the Yuan Empire.But he encountered the most buggy combination.

One is Liu Bowen, a top strategist who knows everything about things like a god, knows the inside story of the Yuan Dynasty, and has uncanny calculations.

One is Liu Futong, who fought fiercely with the Yuan army for many years and was the most righteous in the world. He even defeated many elite Yuan soldiers at the beginning of the war.When Liu Futong was weak, he was still able to control one side of the world. Now he has elite soldiers, strong generals, and top counselors to assist him. He is also well versed in the Yuan army's combat routines.Therefore, as soon as Wang Baobao fought with him, he was defeated by Liu Futong.

Although the last one did not directly participate in the war, he also made considerable contributions.This person is Lu Chang, newly promoted by Zhang Wuji.

Although Lu Chang was previously appointed as the governor, Zhang Wuji recalled him before the war began.He was ordered to take charge of the Ministry of War, specifically to transport supplies for the army.Lu Chang's logistics ability was not inferior to that of Li Shanchang, and the material operations of the three armies were completed excellently.

Originally, the second-line troops led by Li Siqi had a very difficult time, but Liu Futong's troops were very fast, so they did not choose to attack Kaifeng, Luoyang, which was the most difficult to conquer.Instead, after bypassing here, enter from Wuguan and go straight to Hangu Pass, Tongguan and Lantian.

Zhang Liangbi, who was stationed here, was caught off guard by Liu Futong. Li Qisi's pressure disappeared instantly, and he immediately sent his troops to join Liu Futong's troops.In the end, Zhang Liangbi fled, and the Yuan army entrenched in Guanzhong was surrounded and destroyed by the two armies.Then the two armies joined forces and surrounded Luoyang and Bianzhou.

These places were originally the base of Liu Futong and Zhang Wuji. The Ming army was very popular here. They got the support of the local people and gentry. It didn't take long for a mutiny to break out in the city.The Han soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and allowed Liu Futong and Li Qisi's army to enter the city.

Wang Baobao was originally reciting the Military Book in the palace in Bianzhou City, but Liu Futong came in at night.In order to escape for his life, Wang Baobao did not even have time to put on his shoes and escaped before being surrounded.

Then he met his father, King Ruyang, on the north bank of the Yellow River. After the two armies joined forces, they now confronted the Ming army with Mount Tai as the boundary.

Now the only one missing from the three-pronged army is the one led by Zhang Wuji, who has not yet gone north to achieve results.
