Prosperous Tang Soul

"Zhang Yi!" Xue Wanren looked at Zhang Yi again, and after thinking for a long time, he ordered again: "The manager will give you 5000 troops to defend Shuofang City!"

Zhang Yi immediately took the order.

At this moment, Zhang Yi's mind was a little dizzy.

It's not because Li Jing only gave him 5000 people, but because he found that although the events in history have changed a little because of him as a butterfly, he actually went back to the old way after all.

In the historical documents of later generations, it was through this opportunity that Li Jing attacked Yinshan and captured Xieli alive.

It was also this outstanding battle of few against many that Li Jing became the number one military god of the Tang Dynasty!

It was also this brilliant victory that caused the fact that Li Jinggong was so powerful that it made a very perfect foreshadowing for the rest of his miserable life in the future.

Tang Jian's family was offended, the generals of Zuo Wuwei represented by Niu Jinda were also unhappy, and Chai Shao on Xue Wanren's side was also very dissatisfied with him, so he offended more than half of Datang's military.

No need to think about it, this time Li Jing planned to detour to the Yin Mountain from the right side of Heifengkou, but he didn't intend to let Xue Wanren go, because of Xue Wanren's bravery, he was going to let Xue Wanren complete this feat.

It was night, a gray one.

Several soldiers and horses slowly left the city gate.

Snowflakes were still flying all over the sky, quickly covering up the traces of the army's march like goose feathers.

Zhang Yi was lying in his tent, and Wang Laowu was kindly helping him light a pot of charcoal beside the bed, so that his uncle could get some warmth in the cold winter.

"Old Wu, how long has Fatty Bu gone?" Zhang Yi was wrapped in a sheepskin mattress, wishing not to even show his face, talking to Wang Lao Wu next to him.

Wang Laowu turned over the charcoal in the basin.

Charcoal is a very precious thing on the prairie. In addition to growing grass in the vast prairie, even if there are trees, they are only on some hills, and they don’t grow high.

If you want to obtain charcoal, you need to send a lot of soldiers to see it. Fortunately, the merchants in Shuofang City are very eye-catching, and they sent a lot to the barracks not long ago.

As an uncle, Zhang Yi can be regarded as a figure besides a few bullish bosses, so he naturally has the right to distribute some of the charcoal.

"Back to Uncle, Mr. Bu has been gone for more than half a month!" Wang Laowu said respectfully: "Since the last time the city was defended, Mr. Bu and the soldiers have returned after exchanging trophies. Handle the goods, and collect some fodder!"

Speaking of this, Wang Laowu's face was full of joy.

Others don't know, but he knows it very well.

In name, Fatty Bu is a big businessman, but in fact he is just working for Zhang Yi and the Cheng family.

According to Zhang Yi's words, Fatty Bu was given some shares by the chamber of commerce, but most of them were controlled by his own family.

Thinking of the hundreds of ox carts pulling a lot of sheepskins, cowhide and various special products on the grassland, Wang Laowu's heart began to heat up.As long as so many things are transported back to Chang'an, it will be all money!
Compared to the little copper coins that were paid, the f*cking ones are just as worthless.

People say that war is money, but my uncle is making money.

Who else in the entire Tang Dynasty can match?

"It's been more than half a month!" Zhang Yi said to himself.

Bu Jingfeng had the document issued by Niu Jinda in his hand, and the pretense of using it was to raise food for the army, so I believed that it was impossible for that unsightly official to make things difficult along the way.

Zhang Yi was thinking, if his guess was right, Bu Jingfeng might have arrived in Chang'an by now.

After all, the guards were all veterans, and with them in Bu Jingfeng, they didn't have to worry about the safety of the goods, and just rode to Chang'an first.And as long as he arrives in Chang'an, so many managers in Zhangjiazhuang can definitely help him handle everything in an orderly manner.

And once Bu Jingfeng came to Shuofang again, he would definitely bring food and fodder, and in this way, the problem of food supply difficulties for the defenders in Shuofang would be solved.

"Yes, Uncle, I reckon that in a month's time, Mr. Bu will come again!" Wang Laowu laughed, and turned over the golden piece of mutton roasted on the brazier.

In the cold winter, it is very good to eat mutton.

Mutton belongs to fire, and the meat contains a lot of calories. After eating, the heart will be warm.

Seeing that a piece of mutton had been roasted, Wang Laowu picked up the piece of mutton together with the iron skewer, and handed it to Zhang Yi after the temperature had cooled down a little, saying, "It's just that when my uncle was born, we might return not going!"

Speaking of the uncle, Zhang Yi knew that Wang Lao Wu was referring to the child in Li Hui's womb. When he thought of Li Hui's pregnancy at home, and he didn't even serve Li Hui for a day, Zhang Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not right for a good princess to be your wife and give birth to your son. As a woman, it is enough to do this.

But as a husband, Zhang Yi is undoubtedly unqualified.

He didn't stay with Li Hui during pregnancy, and he couldn't even go back to accompany the delivery when he was about to give birth.
"There are still three months and eight days to complete ten months!" Zhang Yi read the numbers silently, and said: "Now Chumo has gone to Xiangcheng, General Niu has gone to Heifengkou, and the chief executive took Second Brother Xue to Yinshan , I'm afraid even if everything goes well, I guess we won't be able to go there anytime soon, it's just a pain for the two of them!"

"Who says it's not!" Wang Laowu burst into anger as soon as he thought of this, his uncle was a noble man, and when he was at home on weekdays, both food and clothing were top-notch.Even when sleeping, there is girl Yunren to help cover the quilt.

But after arriving at the barracks, he became a miserable person.

The sorghum and soybeans he ate, he would give a fart every once in a while, and he didn't even have a maid to serve him. Several times he saw his uncle secretly washing his underwear, what a crime.

But when he thought that Uncle endured hardships for his young mistress, Wang Laowu couldn't help but feel a little better.

The current Zhang family can be said to be making money every day, as long as the young mistress can add a young uncle to the house, then they can be regarded as having a backbone.

After all, as a member of Zhangjiazhuang, Mingli said that they are all households in the Zhuangzi, but in fact, they have already been regarded as vassals of Zhangjiazhuang under the condition of acquiescence.

Both glory and loss!
As long as Zhang Yi has a son, it means that the Zhang family has an inheritance. In this way, they will be able to eat the food they can eat safely. Therefore, it is not only Zhang Yi who is worried about Li Hui's childbirth. The people in Zhangjiazhuang were also very nervous.

The two of them just chatted one sentence at a time, the snow outside was still falling, and it was unusually quiet in the long cold winter.
