Chapter 503 Sweeping Snow to Welcome (One more)
Zhou Gu took a shortcut and also bypassed Longxi County to the border of the Wei Dynasty.
Zhou Wei was on the way, seized the opportunity, and asked his younger brother for advice on how to be an official in the court and fight in the army.
Zhou Gu saw Zhou Wei pestering him like this. After several days in a row, he felt a little helpless, "Brother, what you have learned since childhood is enough to deal with it. There is no need to push yourself so hard, right?"
He has never seen his elder brother not even sleeping, just pestering him blindly.
Zhou Wei is a few years older than him. Although the two are brothers, one has been in the army for a long time, and the other has stayed in the East Palace most of the time. Therefore, in terms of the days of getting along with each other from childhood to adulthood, they really don’t have too many days together.
Zhou Wei was helpless, "I used to think that enough was enough. With you here, I don't need to worry about court affairs, but my grandfather told me a few days ago that I will learn more from you in the future. When you go to Nanchu, our family, I live in the eldest son, so naturally I have to take care of everything."
Zhou Gu understood, and patted Zhou Wei on the shoulder, "Brother, to be honest, there is a prince here, so you don't need to worry too much. As long as the government of the protector of the country is not rebellious, and you don't commit any treasonous things, you will be the leader wholeheartedly. Even if you are lacking in some aspects, it will be fine if you have the prince protecting you."
"But what about teaching the children and grandchildren in the future? Grandpa will always grow old one day." Zhou Wei said.
Zhou Gu: "..."
This is quite a rainy day.
He said earnestly: "Grandfather is still in good health and has more time. You can learn more from him gradually. Grandfather will not ignore you."
Zhou Wei shook his head, "Grandpa said, there are many things in you that I should learn, which he cannot teach."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He can thank grandpa for thinking highly of him.
He had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, if you have any questions, just throw them out, the three of us brothers, let's ask for advice together."
Zhou Wei nodded, "There are many, and there is still plenty of time. This journey will take at least half a month. We will ask questions one by one."
Zhou Gu could only agree, "Okay!"
Who told this to be his big brother? Who would have thought that he was originally the one who stood in the Great Liang Dynasty Hall so that the brothers in the army would have no worries, but now he has run away with Su Rong.
Su Rong's prediction was right. Five days later, Zhang Yun returned to Longxi County with 250,000 Hebei troops.
On the day when the Northern Hebei Army arrived in Longxi County, Su Rong ordered people to clear the snow on the ground for ten miles, and cleared the road so that there was no mess.
And he stood in front of the mouth of 150,000 soldiers and horses, waiting for Zhang Yun to arrive.
The scouts reported the situation every ten miles, and the last report was: "Third Young Master, ten miles ahead, Su Rong is waiting with 150,000 soldiers and horses. For some reason, he cleaned the streets ten miles away."
Zhang Yun said "Oh?", remembering what Su Rong had told him in his letter, wishing to sweep the snow off the steps and greet him, he paused and ordered someone to stop.
The carriage stopped, Zhang Yun got out of the carriage, and told Le Shu, "Continue on the road, and I will walk forward for the next ten miles."
As the lord, she is willing to sweep ten miles of snow to meet him. As a subordinate, he is also willing to walk ten miles to meet her appointment.
At this time, the generals in the Northern Hebei Army probably understood Zhang Yunzhe's intention to return to Longxi County, and they were all shocked. None of them could have imagined that he returned to Longxi County for Su Rong.
Everyone glanced at each other, dismounted and followed Zhang Yun, "Third Young Master, this is..."
Someone said together: "Why are you..."
Zhang Zhuan turned around and looked at the generals who followed Zhang Ping, with a flat face, "I will join the elder brother and join the new lord. As for the 250,000 Jibei Army, they will return to the Liang Dynasty.
Everyone looked at him and looked at each other.
Someone said: "Didn't you turn to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Who is the new owner?"
Someone asked: "The new master that the third son is talking about, is Miss Su Qi? It is said that she is the princess of Nanchu."
"Yes, that's him."
"The eldest son is still alive?" Someone was surprised.
"Yes. Brother is still alive." Zhang Yundao: "The Zhang family's rebellion is unforgivable, and there is no room for the Zhang family in Daliang. It is bound to be used by the court as a warning. Everyone is not the Zhang family. His Royal Highness, for the sake of not making trouble, is bound to be lenient and not pursue it. Therefore, now there is ten miles away, and everyone should think carefully about their choices."
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at the crowd and walked forward slowly.
Everyone glanced at each other and quickly pondered.
Ten miles is not close, but it is not very far, so, after an hour, Zhang Mao has seen the 150,000 army at the end of the road, and Su Rong standing in front of the army, wearing a white fox fur cloak, holding a hand stove, waiting for him.
She stood in the cold wind, thin and delicate, but like green pines and cypresses, it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, it was evening, the sky was slightly dark, torches were gradually lit in the barracks, and someone beside Su Rong also set up a torch, illuminating her porcelain-white and clear face brightly.
The front and back of her standing body seemed to be full of light.
At this moment, Zhang Yun felt in a trance, as if he wanted to abandon the darkness around him and run for the light.
Thinking like this, he unconsciously quickened his pace, and soon came to Su Rong. After a few steps away, he looked at Su Rong, bowed his hands, and said, "Miss Su Qi, I will live up to my expectations."
Su Rong took two steps forward, helped Zhang Yun up, and smiled at him, "From the day I received the reply from the third son, I have believed in the third son, please forgive me."
Zhang Yun stood up straight and looked at Su Rong, "Then the 250,000 soldiers and horses will be handed over to Miss Seven."
"Okay." Su Rong nodded with a smile, "The army has prepared the camp of the third son, and it is next to your elder brother's tent. You go to wash and refresh first, and later the army will hold a banquet to welcome you."
Zhang Yun nodded.
Different from when Su Rong first met Jiang Zhu and Zhang Mao, they wanted to show their loyalty, while she wanted to promise a future. She and Zhang Yun had confronted each other several times, and they had been friends for a long time. Her letter not only made Zhang Yun agree to join her, but also brought 250,000 soldiers and horses here without bloodshed. The trust between them was already unbreakable, and there was no need to say more.
Therefore, Su Rong ordered Feng Ling to take over the Beibei Army, and Zhang Yun ordered Le Shu to cooperate with him.
Su Rong accompanied Zhang Yun to the inside, and introduced Zhou Shen, Jiang Zhu, Ning Ze and others to him.
Although Zhang Yun has been doing the dark business of being in charge of hidden piles, he is a thin, tall, handsome and elegant young man. Compared with Jiang Zhu's elegant bookishness, he has a kind of introverted and calm after certain things have settled.
After transporting Zhang to the camp to resettle and tidy up, Jiang Zhu and Su Rong sighed softly, "Miss Seven has a good eye, Zhang Yun is such a person, it's better to see Zhang Yun than to hear about him once. Compared with his reputation, seeing him is even more rare."
Including this time, Su Rong saw Zhang Yun all around, one was at the inn, one was when Nangong Yu stopped her, one was the defeat of the Northern Hebei Army outside Nanping City, and the other was now.
Every side, Zhang Yun gave her a very different feeling.
This is a person who can integrate himself into any situation in any situation. Not to mention that others have thousands of faces, but they are the ones who know how to judge the situation best, and who know what they should do and what they want best. It is indeed too rare.
She smiled and said: "Then you should discuss with him more, there must be a lot to learn from him."
Jiang Zhu nodded again and again, "I also have the same intention."
