Chapter three hundred and twentieth seventh watch the New Year's Eve

Zhu Jiangming's army camp was not far from Zhang Fu's army camp, only a hundred miles away. The messenger rode a fast horse and walked over the official road. When he saw Zhang Fu, it was not dark yet.

Zhang Fu took out the letter and saw a few lines of words on it: Marquis of Xincheng, please be calm and do not be impatient, and camp on the spot. After our troops destroyed the enemy in Zhu Zijiang, Marquis of Xincheng led his army to attack Qinghua.

How could Zhang Fu not know the situation? He looked at it and immediately understood what the King of Han meant.

The Hu family in Annan was trapped in the narrow and lonely land of the Western Capital, and they would not be able to defend for a long time. Sooner or later, they would try to counterattack, and wanted to have a glimmer of hope. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use defense instead of attack, but was afraid that Zhang Fu would advance quickly, so he ordered him to remain in place on the condition of his military achievements in capturing Qinghua City.

For a moment, Zhang Fu was still very grateful because the King of Han could give orders and directly let him stop moving without any conditions!

Without hesitation, Zhang Fu immediately said to the messenger standing in the big tent: "After you go back, report to the King of Han, I have obtained the military order and act according to the military order."

After hearing this, the messenger clasped his fists and said, "I will say goodbye at the end."

At that time, the King of Qingyuan, the General Chen Xu, Huang Zhong and several other military generals were also in the tent. When they heard that the King of Han had military orders, they were all a little curious.

Wang You even stretched out his neck, as if you could see what was written on the paper. He simply asked, "Master, what military order does the King of Han have?" At this time, Chen Xu, Huang Zhong and others didn't say anything.

If it is considered the seniority, then the King of Qingyuan Marquis Wang You was higher than Zhang Fu. Wang You was a hundred households in the Battle of Jingnan, and he followed him to raise an army. At that time, Zhang Yu often led troops in the army. However, after being named Marquis and becoming a general, Wang You was still not very particular about his character... After all, he was only a hundred households. If it were not for the opportunity of "Jingnan Battle", he would never have been able to be a marquis in eight lifetimes.

Zhang Fu smiled and handed the letter in his hand to Wang You.

Wang You read it and passed it to Chen Xu. Wang You said "Tsk tsk" and said, "The King of Han has a bad reputation. He was arrogance and extravagance and liberty in the past, but he was very good at writing."

Chen Xu took over and said, "I am still very sympathetic to the soldiers. Then, the King of Han attacked Zhujiangkou Military Village, how could he not be able to attack? If he delayed, he just wanted to wait for the Annan army to attack and reduce casualties."

Zhang Fu immediately agreed: "General Chen is a sensible person."

Chen Xu said again: "The King of Han treats the general well! As long as he destroys the enemy army in Zhujiangkou and captures the Hu traitor, isn't this accomplice to take things out of his bag? According to the last general, the King of Han advocates returning the Chen clan to rule, and does not want to be in trouble with everyone, and they all have their own opinions."

Zhang Fu nodded slightly, lowered his head and pondered something, not saying anything.

...It was already late at night, and the Ming army camp on the north bank of Zhujiang was still lively, with bonfires everywhere, and the entire sky was illuminated.

"Bang bang bang..." Rows of fire guns rang out on the barriers of the military camp, like firecrackers celebrating the festival. At night, you can clearly see the fire on the muzzle nozzle, which is bright and dazzling, adding to the atmosphere.

Almost no one went to bed early tonight. A large number of military households from Dusi, Sichuan, have a common custom. They have to guard the fields on New Year's Eve and have to wait for midnight before going to bed. It is said that this can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from destroying the crops during the New Year. The statements elsewhere are different, but the practice is the same. You must keep the night watch until midnight after New Year's Eve.
