Tang's dining table

Zhang Donghai actually envied Wang Defa.

This person fights when there is war, and when there is no war, he only thinks about how to make money.

General Dingyuan happened to be a master who could fight and make money.

Encountering such a reliable general, Wang Defa naturally followed the general without a second thought.

His mind is very simple. As long as the general doesn't lead him to rebel, the rest won't matter.

After fighting a war, he would have already received military merit and money. Even if he could not go to Pyongyang to obtain the merit of destroying the country, Wang Defa did not care.

Because the success of destroying the country has nothing to do with him as the leader of the army. Since the generals don't care, Wang Defa naturally doesn't care. He doesn't like climbing the city wall against the boiling golden juice poured down by the enemy.

Now that he has another property, Wang Defa decided to get his concubine's brother to be the shopkeeper...

Zhang Donghai is different. In fact, he and Wang Defa are the same at heart. It's just that before setting off, he received a secret imperial order. In addition to being the captain of Zhechong, he also became a hundred knights. The commander of the division.

He guessed that every general should have a knight beside him, but he didn't know who they were.

For General Yunchu, from a military perspective, this is already the best general he has encountered in his decades of military career.

only--

This general was a bit too good, so much so that, with his brain that had not studied for several years, he could not follow the general closely in thinking.

There is no problem in the battle formation. Even if the general is brave enough, I can still see the direction of the general's battle flag with the help of years of hard training and the skills developed on the battlefield.

When the general began to shift from military formation to civil administration, Zhang Donghai's hard days came. It was clear that the general did not hide anything from him when he was doing things, but he just couldn't figure out how the general could do it so casually. A Goguryeo city was transformed into an ordinary Datang county.

He envied Wen Wen and Zhong Kui.

Because no matter what the general is saying or doing, they can understand it by heart, and even beat the drum at the same time...

However, Zhang Donghai did not feel ashamed. After all, those three people were all talented people selected by the imperial court during the selection process.

A man who could obviously be the number one scholar was nominated as ninth by his teacher. He came from a high-ranking family where his family was a censor. His ancestors were smart, so it was natural for him to be smarter.

The other one looks like a butcher. If it weren't for his ugly appearance, he would still be the top pick.

So it is natural to follow these three people and not understand the way they act.

The brush has been in Zhang Donghai's mouth for a long time, and there is still no word on the paper on the table. Oh, there are two drops of ink, which flowed from the brush.

Zhang Donghai scratched his head twice and growled in a low voice: "What did the general say today?"

He heard every word of those words clearly, and could even understand why he did so, because the general took pity on him and Wang Defa, two idiots, and deliberately broke up those difficult words and said them into pieces.

However, it was really difficult for him to turn the meanings in his mind into words.

"Your Majesty, please spare Lao Zhang, please. It's not that Lao Zhang doesn't do things, but that Lao Zhang doesn't have the ability to do things..."

Just when Zhang Donghai was mumbling to himself, Wen Wen pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Zhang Donghai was about to write something, he smiled and said: "The letter home hasn't been finished yet? Well, take your time. I also thought about it for a long time before I decided to let him go." Who will the family send to be in charge?

Wang Defa asked his wife's younger brother to come over. This was a completely idiotic act. He refused to listen to the warning. He seemed to be a man who doted on his wife.

You don’t dare to do this. No matter how bad the elders in your family are, they are all the same as you. No matter how hard you mess around with money, it will end up in the hands of your son. The concubine is different. If you use someone from the concubine’s family, that is It is a sign that you are going to spend your family wealth abroad. "

Zhang Donghai smiled and said: "The general's family is simple, with one wife and six children. The eldest brother has to stay at home to take care of the family business. The second son is also twenty this year. I am thinking of getting him here."

Wen Wen took a look at the white paper without a single word, placed the pile of documents and family letters in her hand on Zhang Donghai's table and said, "I don't have time to wait for you to finish writing. You will write slowly. After you finish writing, Remember to give these things to the messenger tomorrow at Mao Shi. Remember to verify them with the messenger before sealing them with fire paint. There are also instructions about Dahang City from the general to the staff.

Remember to ask the messenger to separate documents from letters home..."

Wen Wen muttered a lot and finally yawned and left. He couldn't figure out why the emperor would let such a simple and honest person be a spy. He was almost bald from worrying about writing secret letters every day.

After Wen Wenwen left, Zhang Donghai took a look at the pile of documents and letters from home that Wen Wenwen had brought, and began to write family letters on the white paper seriously.

"Zhu'er and my wife, we meet each other as soon as we meet. My husband is still in Dahang City. My general has been appointed as the military commander of Wuxing Road to guard the rear of the army... It seems that there are not many chances to go to the battlefield again..."

When he was about to continue writing, he couldn't help but glance at the pile of documents...

"The general has prepared some family fortunes for the generals in the army..."

After writing this, Zhang Donghai took another look at the document and fell into thinking. Finally, he shook his head and continued writing family letters.

But the brush stopped motionless on the paper. He suddenly put down the brush, crumpled the half-written family letter into a ball, and picked up with trembling hands the document written by Yun Chu to the Ministry of Officials from Yun Chu on the top.

When Rourou returned to the lobby again, she saw Yunchu eating dogwood hot pot around a stove.

Wen Wen added some mutton slices to it and said, "This is the best thing to eat in winter, it keeps you warm!"

Yun Chu said: "From now on, the matter of sending and receiving documents will be left to Zhang Donghai."

Wen Wen said puzzledly: "Isn't this convenient for him to be a spy?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "There is no way, we are doing things well here, but in Zhang Donghai's secret letter to the emperor, he said what we have done is confusing and nonsense. It is really too unfair to us. It’s bad.”

Zhong Kui asked in confusion: "How do you know that the content of Zhang Donghai's secret letter is so confusing and nonsense?"

She smiled softly and said, "Of course His Highness the Crown Prince saw it and made such a comment."

Zhong Kui frowned and said, "The prince is young and ignorant. He shouldn't comment on his loyal ministers like this."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's the evaluation given by His Majesty, and His Highness the Crown Prince heard it."

Zhong Kui frowned and stuffed a large piece of mutton with chopsticks into his mouth. After swallowing it, he said to Yun Chu: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is so useful, you might as well ask him to go and see the Queen. I always feel that Princess Lelang and the Queen There are relationships."

Wen Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it related to His Majesty?"

Zhong Kui shook his head and said: "Because there is no need for your Majesty to do this. Your Majesty likes Zhang Donghai, a simple and honest person, and has never appreciated cunning people. Even Yun Chu, your Majesty gave him the title of Two Hundred and Five, and he was appointed as the official." It was he who acted recklessly in Chang'an.

This is very different from the queen's employment. Just look at Xu Jingzong, and Li Yifu will know who the queen likes.

The behavior of Princess Lelang is similar to that of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. One thing these people have in common is that they like to show off their cleverness. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, it was quite accidental that the prince saw Zhang Donghai's secret letter. He was still a child, and neither the emperor nor the queen were very wary of him. If he deliberately did such a thing, as the emperor, There is no reason why the queen's wisdom cannot be seen.

For the prince to be a spy is to think too highly of this new wife. "

Gentle agreed; "It's not worth it."

Zhong Kui said: "Then let's look for circumstantial evidence. It's impossible for her to do everything perfectly. There will always be flaws."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "If you don't talk about these things, we will still have a drink, just don't get drunk."

After that, I raised my glass...

On November 14, the first year of Xianqing, it snowed heavily. Li Ji commanded an army of 200,000 people and officially stepped across the frozen Yalu Water and set foot on the core territory of Goguryeo.

However, there are rugged roads from Yalushui to Pyongyang. It will take a lot of time for all the 200,000 troops to pass through the mountains.

Everything this year seems to be tilting in the direction of Datang. There is no heavy snow during the heavy snow season, but the sun is shining brightly.

From the moment they crossed the Yalu River, Qibi Heli and Xue Rengui were no longer the vanguard of the army, but became the rear army, responsible for escorting grain, grass and supplies.

Among these supplies were the military products that Yunchu had the Goguryeo people make in Dahang City - felt boots stuffed with urala grass and with a half-inch-thick wooden board as the base to insulate them from the air-conditioning.

This thing is naturally ugly, but when the soldiers put it on, they immediately realized its benefits.

Not only is this thing cold-proof, it is also waterproof because turpentine is applied to the outside of the boots.

This is something that cotton shoes cannot compare to. Although cotton shoes are warm, when the soles are soaked with water, the cotton shoes will immediately turn into two ice pimples, which is not as useful as leather boots.

After Li Ji discovered that this thing was useful, he immediately ordered Yun Chu to make such shoes day and night in Dahang City without making any mistakes.

After Yunchu left the battlefield, he no longer focused on the military, but paid more attention to people's livelihood.

In order to rush to produce more ural grass felt boots that Li Ji needed, Gawain almost mobilized the people of Dahang City to collect ural grass, roll felt, and search for pine oil in the pine forest.

Suddenly, the whole Dahang City became lively. It was not difficult for the Goguryeo people to make this kind of felt boots. It was almost their daily life. After seeing that this kind of felt boots were easy to sell, the Goguryeo people made another contribution. A foot sledge has come out that can walk in the snow without worrying about getting stuck in the snow.

Yun Chu had seen it and found that this thing was actually a fan-like thing that enlarged a pair of feet five or six times. After enlarging the area that can bear the force, one can naturally walk on the snow without taking one step and having the heavy snow bury his thighs. .

Although Yunchu knew that this thing was not very important to the army, he still made great efforts to acquire it. He needed the subjective initiative of these Goguryeo people.

As long as all these people are mobilized, the Goguryeo people's advantage on the tundra in the Northeast will be completely lost.

Chapter 2 is delivered, I will continue
