Before Geng Hao left the signing room, Zhang Fu warned him seriously: "There are only two of us today, and we haven't said anything. Do you understand? If General Geng wants to think about anything, it's better to think about the consequences first."

Zhang Fu walked back to the table, sat down on the chair, waiting for the second person to meet. In this brief silent solitude, Zhang Fu did not feel any shame or regret.

His hand was on a seal, and then he subconsciously pressed it hard on the table, and a trace of anger erupted from the depths of his pupils.

Zhang Fu has been fighting in the front, but he knows very well that some people in the capital are playing with power! They treat Zhang Fu as a fool and treat national affairs like a joke!

At the beginning, Zhang Fu was loyal to the court. He didn't even see Qian Changshi, the Han Palace, and arrested Qian Changshi and sent it to the capital. But later Zhang Fu realized that he trusted others too easily.

How did those people in the court repay his loyalty?

He continued to throw him in Jiaozhi Province as an optional person; later he deceived the emperor and immediately led his army north to attack Yunnan when the military rations he had hoarded were almost exhausted! Zhang Fu, who had no food, could not move forward, and that battle was very embarrassed, and his reputation and prestige in the army also declined rapidly.

Then someone in the court even made up a dirty deal and sent Qian Xun, the left chief of the Han Palace who had a grudge against Zhang Fu, back.

Who are those people? Zhang Fu has gradually figured out that he was the counselors and civil servants of the former residence of the King of Yan who were attracted by Empress Zhang, and later colluded with Xu Huizu and other veteran generals of Jianwen...

Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Cheng, because he had made friends with the civil officials in Peking back then, he unscrupulously colluded with the King of Han and treacherously dealt with private transactions! Zhang Fu had already made it clear in the memorial that the failure of the war in Kunming City, but Gu Cheng was still fine... no one to protect him?

There is also the Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao. During the Battle of Guizhou, he led a 100,000 army to rescue Guizhou City and performed a mess on the battlefield! The official army failed to encircle and suppress the Guizhou Yunnan, and Wu Gao was definitely responsible. Unexpectedly, Wu Gao did nothing after the war and was able to go to Guangxi to take charge of military power!

If no one in the court supports Gu Cheng and Wu Gao and talk to each other, wouldn’t it be necessary to punish the misunderstanding of the fighter? So Zhang Fu felt that Wu Gao was not wronged at all.

The current situation is not just a matter of old grudges.

Before taking office as General Pinghan, Zhang Fu lived in the capital for a while. Once, he met the Saint in the Donghun Pavilion and saw Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang's smile was cold, and the hostility in her single eyelids and small eyes could not be hidden with her smile.

Zhang Fu had to consider his grandson, which was a threat and hidden danger to Queen Zhang.

However, at least on the surface, Empress Zhang spoke up in a high-sounding manner, which was simply reasonable, and she did not oppose Zhang Fu's appointment as the General of Pinghan; Zhang Fu also regarded it as a compromise. After all, the situation of the rebels of the Han King at this time was getting worse and worse, and both sides had a common enemy!

If Concubine Zhang was not a prince, perhaps there might be room for rebuilding the old ones; but now mutual compromise is likely to be just a temporary stopgap...

At this moment, someone was taken into the signing room. Zhang Fu calmed down, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked up at the person who had just come in.

"The official is to meet Mr. Zhang." The person who came was a civil servant.

This person was from Wu Gao's army and fled to Huguang with Governor Lei Tian and others.

There were many civil and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty's official army. Wu Gao's army of 100,000 should have a total of two or three hundred civil and eunuchs. For example, after Xue Lu was defeated in Sichuan, two or three hundred civil and eunuchs were captured and later released by the King of Han and returned to Beijing.

In addition to the eunuchs such as Zheng He who had held military power in the navy, ordinary civil servants and eunuchs in the army did not hold military power, and would do some official documents, register and suggest and plan things; of course, they would also be responsible for contacting all the imperial yamen in the army to secretly search undercover and monitor the generals in charge of the soldiers.

The division of power in the Ming army was becoming increasingly detailed, and many people belonged to different yamen, and the complexity of their organization was far beyond that of previous dynasties. Therefore, it was almost difficult for generals to hold troops and respect themselves.

The Chinese civil servants of the army should know a lot, so after Zhang Fu sent Geng Hao, the first person to summon was this civil servant.

Zhang Fu began to ask about the formations, weapons and other matters of the Han Wang Army. After a conversation, the combat methods described by civil servants were almost the same as those of the Ming Dynasty's official army; there was only one kind of musket called "Kaishan Gun" that was more strange, but the range was similar to that of copper muskets.

"The Wu Gao's army defeated the rebel vanguard in Luorong County. The army had seized some weapons that the rebels called "mountain gun". However, most of the Wu Gao's army surrendered later. At that time, everyone else was panic and didn't care about taking away things." The civil servant said.

Zhang Fu nodded and waved his hand gently.

The civil servant hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, say goodbye."

At this time, Zhang Fu unfolded a rolled map, and saw that the paint on the map was very vivid and exquisite, and he used fine brushwork to outline the map of the south bank of the Yangtze River.

This item was something that Empress Zhang gave to Zhang Fu, but the person who painted it was Guo Zi, with a row of seals from Guo Zi. With so many seals stamped, it was obviously a satisfactory painting by Guo Zi. Although Guo Zi was a minister of the court, he was also proficient in painting. When Emperor Taizong wanted to move the capital to Peiping, the design drawings for the construction of the palace were handed over to Guo Zi for handling.

Zhang Fu sat in a chair and waited for the person he wanted to see behind, and took advantage of his time to ponder the situation again. He still believed that the rebels of the Han King would come to Huguang to engage in a decisive battle!

Zhang Fu never dared to underestimate the King of Han when he used military service. However, because the King of Han was a vassal king, he was easily ignored that he was also a general who was good at fighting.

Whether it was because of Zhang Fu's personal experience when he fought side by side with the King of Han, or the fact that Xue Lu, Gu Cheng and Wu Gao were defeated before this, Zhang Fu recognized the King of Han's ability to command troops.

Now Zhang Fu's decision has not changed. He is ready to rely on his absolute superior force to invest his main force in this battle. The main force's decisive battle has a far-reaching impact, which is the top priority above everything else! Zhang Fu doesn't care much about victory, defeat, gains and losses, in addition to this.

He had doubts such as concerns, fear of failure, but none of them was as strong as his desire for victory!

Yu Gong, this battle was the battle to defend the throne of today's son, and it was related to the ownership of the Ming Dynasty's ten thousand miles of power.

In private, Zhang Fu was born into a family of heroes and military generals, and war was his lifelong pursuit. If he could defeat the most warlike prince in the world, every hair on his body would definitely feel satisfaction and self-recognition. As for the battle against those mobs in the battle of Annan Kingdom, Zhang Fu did not even feel any sense of accomplishment.

As for the comparison of the number of troops between the official army and the rebels at this time, there is no need to worry about it, because victory on the battlefield is victory, and there is no need for any reason!

Of course, the reward is unimaginable. Since the rebels of the Han King, many famous generals of this dynasty were defeated; at this critical moment, Zhang Fu finally emerged from nowhere, turning the tide and saving the country from danger! Who dared to compete for the entire Hongxi Dynasty regarding its merits? Not to mention the monarch and ministers of the Hongxi Dynasty, even the descendants of the emperor, dare not treat the Zhang family with slightest disdain. The British Duke's reputation for fighting in history, not to mention the comparison with Huo Qubing and Yue Fei, would at least not be too low.

Zhang Fu quietly thought: After winning this battle, I will take off my armor and write a military book, so that later generations can admire my reputation and make it easier to observe.

...Lei Tian was the last person to be seen by Zhang Fu.

Geng Hao was outside the road. When Lei was filling out, he saw that Officer Lei Ke’s face looked very ugly. He went up to him and asked with his fists: “Officer Lei Ke, is Mr. Zhang allowed us to return to Beijing?”

Lei Tian nodded and said, "I'll leave tomorrow at the latest."

The wife of King Jingjiang, Geng, took the carriage and took the waterway. He would definitely not be able to reach Changsha tomorrow. When Geng Hao thought of this, he suddenly felt that the autumn atmosphere was deep, which made people feel a little sad.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang sees me..." Geng Hao said casually.

Lei Tian suddenly stopped Geng Hao, "Some things are not something that can be controlled by the officials. Besides, I have not been on the battlefield, so I am not very clear about the inside story. General Geng wants to do it himself!"

Geng Hao suddenly felt very strange, because two days ago, Lei Tian said that he would discuss something with him. Unexpectedly, his attitude changed so quickly.

Geng Hao couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the gate of the official army headquarters, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang and you..."

Lei Tian interrupted him rudely again: "Let's go!"

Such an abnormality has aroused Geng Hao's great curiosity. He couldn't help but think about it randomly and guessed many reasons, but finally couldn't figure it out; because these people were too complicated! Geng Hao heard that Lei Tian was from Yuan Gong in the court, and then what Yuan Gong and Zhang Fu had a relationship, Geng Hao didn't know very clearly.

At this time, a general and a few soldiers came out of the headquarters. They were going to take Geng Hao and others to the accommodation place. The general clasped his fists and said, "The two of them are tired and resting in the city today. They can go back to Beijing by post tomorrow. Pass the seal letter and change the horse official documents. They will be handled by the last general and will be delivered later."

Geng Hao hurriedly bent down and said, "Thank you, General."

Seeing Geng Hao being so humble to Zhang Fu's people, Lei Tian looked at him, his eyes seemed a little complicated.

On that day, Geng Hao and a few others lived in a wooden pavilion by the city; standing by the back window where the arrows were shot, you could see the Xiangjiang River. Geng Hao looked at the passing ships on the river by the window, but he was reluctant to leave for a long time. Whenever he saw that kind of ship with wheels, he would ignite a faint hope, and when he came to his senses, he thought about it, he was filled with loss.

Such a noble and beautiful wife was very kind to Geng Hao, and he couldn't forget her. He felt that Mrs. Geng was very kind-faced and as kind as his own sister.
