Section 775: The Entrustment of the Old General
The biggest news in Chang'an City recently is undoubtedly that Zhang Chiyou may be given a marriage!
This is a big deal!
Not only the nobles and marquises were extremely concerned.
Even the people in the market stretched their necks and watched.
There is no way, Zhang Chiyou’s experience is so legendary.
It took less than two months to reach the Shizhong as a commoner, and it took only half a year to get from Shizhong to marrying the Emperor.
It also has various legends and stories that are circulated among the people.
This kind of upstart who is both majestic, capable, and cultural, and is a newcomer born in a poor family, has always been sought after by the people.
Therefore, when Zhang Yue took Chunyu Wen home, he found that he seemed to have signs of development in future generations.
No matter where you walk, countless eyes follow you.
Even the neighbors were very curious, as if they didn't know Zhang Yue, and they went out to watch.
Not long after he arrived home, before he could settle down Chunyu Wen, Tian Miao reported with a reply: "Lord, there is a veteran general who handed over a post to see you!"
Zhang Yue took it and saw that it was Zhao Ponu's visit to him who had not met for a long time.
He hurriedly said, "Come out with me!"
So he took the whole family up and down and went out to greet him.
"My younger generation Zhang Zizhong, please ask the old general for his safety..." Zhang Yuegong bowed.
"Shi Jung-in-law, please get up quickly..." Zhao Ponu smiled and helped Zhang Yue up. He had not seen him for many days. The old general was still strong, but his face was much haggard.
There is no way, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin, the two advocates, have become hands-off bosses.
The project to compile the "Han Unification of the World" was very large.
Zhao Ponu was so busy that he wanted to use it for two days.
Even so, if Zhang Yue had not drawn the basic outline and set the framework for him, this matter would probably not have been done in just a few months.
Zhang Yue took the initiative to support the old general and entered his home.
I ordered my servants to get the wine I made this year.
I have to say that Zhang Yue’s plan to make money by making wine has now gone bankrupt.
Mainly, after these wines were finished, Zhang Yue gave some to friends such as Huo Guang, Jin Il-jeong, Zhang Anshi.
Then……
Everyone was very curious about this brand new fruit wine.
Not to mention that the taste is great and the alcohol concentration is not low (compared with the Han Dynasty rice wine and pine wine), it is a must-have drink for relatives and friends and entertainment.
Therefore, the elder brothers became friends and came to Zhangyue Mansion to ask for it every now and then.
What can Zhang Yue do?
I had to instruct the servants to give as much as the 'brothers' want.
In this way, Zhang Yue’s plan to make money failed!
Fortunately, the porcelain fired in Nanling is progressing smoothly. Last month, Li He came to Xinfeng to report that the first batch of green porcelain bowls had been fired.
Therefore, by next year, the Zhang family porcelain kiln in Nanling will probably become famous all over the world.
After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Zhao Ponu immediately widened his eyes, looked at Zhang Yue incredibly, and asked, "The wine of Shizhong is really a good product!"
"I have eaten the wine made from grapes in the old year. It is quite bitter, and it is not as sweet as the wine of the Shizhong..."
Zhang Yue listened, smiled and said, "If the old general likes it, I will order someone to send a few cauldrons to the mansion..."
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Zhao Ponu smiled, but did not refuse.
He is a wine lover and likes to drink alcohol in his life.
He has tasted the rice wine of the Han family, the head wine of the Huns, the horse milk wine of the goat milk wine, or the wine of the Western Regions.
But no one can compare to the wines made in this house.
It can be understood even if you think about it.
Zhang Mansion has the best brewing masters in Guanzhong at present!
"Shizhong..." Zhao Ponu put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Zhang Yue, and asked softly: "I heard that Your Majesty intends to use Shizhong as a general and go to Huangshui?"
Zhang Yue listened, not saying anything.
But without saying anything, Zhao Ponu knew it at a glance, and this was the default.
An old face immediately smiled from ear to ear. This is the best news Zhao Ponu has received!
The young man he is optimistic about will eventually step onto the battlefield!
Wave the sword and halberd, reap the merits, travel thousands of miles, and gallop across the world!
He reached out his hand slightly, took out a booklet from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it to Zhang Yue, saying, "This is something I have summed up in half my life..."
"It's not a big truth, nor is it a real insight, it's just something I've seen and learned over the past decades..."
Zhang Yue looked at the booklet handed to him.
It's very thin, maybe only twenty or thirty pages.
But if Zhao Ponu can cherish it so much, I am afraid that the things recorded here are extremely critical things.
Especially after listening to Zhao Ponu's words, Zhang Yue could probably guess what was inside?
Zhang Yue quickly stood up and said gratefully: "The old general loves you, I can't repay you!"
"Hey!" Zhao Ponu said, "I am nearly sixty years old this year and have been buried in half. The world is rich and rich, and I am like a cloud..."
"The regret of this life..." He whispered: "I just wish I could step on the Great Banner of the Xiongnu Khan and hold the Shanyu to question Chang'an..."
"I even hate that I was arrogant, lost my army, was imprisoned by the Huns, and was humiliated by the Hu people!"
In the second year of Taichu, he led his army out of Shuofang to attack the Xiongnu, trying to support the Zuo Dadu, who was pro-Han within the Xiongnu at that time, and ended the war in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the left commander of the Huns was killed after he was not well planned and was not well-documented.
And he was surrounded by arrogance because of his pride and arrogance.
The army of 20,000 was destroyed once, and the reputation of a lifetime was lost from now on!
He was even captured by the Huns, used as a mascot, locked up in the Shanyu Court, as a show-off, and displayed to the powerful factions of the Western Regions kings and the Huns.
Although he later took advantage of the civil strife of the Huns and fled to Chang'an, he never recovered from the slump and never had the opportunity to lead his troops again.
This is his biggest hatred in his life!
He knew that he could not wash away the shame with his own hands in his life.
And the descendants...
There is no one who can inherit the mantle.
so……
He can only count on his younger generations and can only rely on the future.
And Zhang Yue is his hope!
In Zhao Ponu's opinion, there is no more suitable candidate than this young Shizhong official.
Young, brave and courageous.
More importantly... Zhao Ponu saw a trace of his style when he followed General Cavalry in this young servant.
Young, determined, dare to be the first in the world, and do not stick to old people and old things.
The upcoming war in the Western Qiang region is the best touchstone.
Therefore, after hearing about this, Zhao Ponu immediately wrote his experiences, experiences, experiences and experiences in a booklet and sent them to the Zhang Mansion overnight.
Just to let Zhang Yue replace him, he stepped on the Shanyu court and sealed the wolf and lived in Xushan!
Chapter completed!
