Zhang Huaxuan suddenly said such a sentence, making both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang unclear. At this time, the three of them had already arrived at Zhang Sailiang's house. Under Zhang Sailiang's leadership, all of them rushed to Zhang's study room.
After closing the study door, and after the three people were seated in order, Zhang Sailiang asked first: "Zhang Huaxuan, you just said that we were hit by the Song Army. What happened?"
Zhang Sailiang was naturally very worried. This time he went on the expedition with Yang Huai, as well as Zhang Sailiang, who is also a think tank in his family. If there is really any problem with this expedition, I am afraid that Zhang Sailiang is also very lucky.
Zhang Huaxuan’s face was already as black as ink. Hearing Zhang Sailiang’s question, Zhang Huaxuan raised his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we are really fooled this time. In fact, I have been in my heart for the past few days. We are all whispering, we can see the importance of Poyang, that there are many intelligent people under the Song army account, it is impossible not to see it! Things have happened for so many days, why didn't we see Song Emperor Zhao Zhen send people reinforcements? "
Zhang Sailiang was not a fool either, he immediately understood what Zhang Huaxuan meant, and his expression changed accordingly. He exclaimed: "Zhang Huaxuan! What do you mean is that our expedition to Poyang this time was actually within Song Jun's expectations. Song Jun deliberately used the potential general as a bait to set up such a package. , We have to wait for us to drill."
Zhang Huaxuan smiled bitterly and nodded, and said: "It seems like this should be the case. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Huang Yunfei, who has been silent for so many years, suddenly came out of the police."
When Zhang Huaxuan said this, the faces of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang also became difficult to look at. Zhang Sailiang stood up and shouted: "If this is the case, then it should be reported to the adults. Master Zhang Huaxuan! Zhang Sailiang! Your lord! We are going to the Commander-in-Chief of the Xia Family Princes Army now, and we must open the gate of the mansion and meet the lord in person."
"Sai Liang, don't be impulsive." Both Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang were shocked, and immediately reached out and pulled Zhang Sailiang back from the study room. Zhang Sailiang persuaded: "Sai Liang, you run to Xia's house now. The commander-in-chief of the princes army must not see the adult. Even the gate of the commander-in-chief of the princes of the Xia family cannot enter. Have you not seen it clearly? An accident happened in the commander of the princes of the Xia family.
"Something happened? What happened?" Zhang Sailiang was also pale when Zhang Sailiang said so. Now Xia Jiajun is in a precarious situation, and there are strong enemies outside. If something really goes wrong inside, wouldn't Xia Jiajun's foundation for so many years be destroyed
Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang did not answer Zhang Sailiang's question, but were silent. After a long time, Zhang Huaxuan sighed and frowned and asked: "Sai Liang, you are in charge of the military affairs of the Xia family. You should be relatively clear about the affairs of Shangrao city, although I also know that you have been ordered by an adult. Don’t disclose it, but it’s an emergency after all, so please tell the truth. Where can Master Hu and Marshal Zhuge be in these few days?"
"Uh!" Zhang Sailiang hesitated. Of course, he also had information in Shangrao City. Except for Xia Cheng and the first master who were not under his control, Zhang Sailiang knew all the information about other important ministers in detail. But when Zhang Sailiang accepted this position, Xia Cheng made it clear that this information could not be told to anyone without Xia Cheng's personal permission.
However, Zhang Sailiang is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Sailiang replied: "If I remember correctly, according to the secret report of the spies, Master Hu arrived at the mansion of the Xia family three days ago, and then talked with him. The eldest son went to the Xia family princes army commander's headquarters together. He has not yet come out, and he should be in the Xia family princes army's commander's headquarters."
"Sure enough." Zhang Huaxuan's eyes flashed, and he glanced at each other with Zhang Sailiang. They had already doubted Hu Zhuge before. Since the defeat of the Battle of Poyang, although Xia Cheng didn't say anything, he became more and more alienated from Hu Zhuge. If you change to someone else, you might not notice it, but would a wise man like Hu Zhuge not feel it
Xia Cheng had already distrusted Hu Zhuge a little when he had made a sneak attack on Poyang. Zhang Huaxuan had already discovered that Hu Zhuge had a knot in his heart. Although Zhang Huaxuan had talked to Hu Zhuge afterwards, he seemed to be able to tell it. , Hu Zhuge's pimple has not been eliminated.
Early this morning, Zhang Sailiang came to Zhang Huaxuan in person, saying that the spies of Zhang's family suddenly discovered that the defenders of Shangrao had been mobilized frequently in the past few days, and that they had used Xia Cheng's secret orders. But Xia Cheng hasn't shown up for a long time because of a serious illness in the past few days. After hearing the news, Zhang Huaxuan felt something was wrong, and then hurriedly rushed to the Commander General of the Xia Family Princes Army with Zhang Sailiang, but they did not expect to hit Zhang Sailiang.
Although there is no evidence to prove it, Zhang Huaxuan was the first to feel that this matter was absolutely related to Hu Zhuge. Immediately, Zhang Huaxuan asked Zhang Sailiang, "Brother Zhang Sailiang, in your opinion, is the change in the commander-in-chief of the Xia family’s princes’ army really at the command of the eldest son?" Zhang Huaxuan was referring to naturally It was forbidden to see Xia Cheng in person, as well as the order to recruit all the generals of Gonggao to the general commander of the Xia family princes army.
Zhang Sailiang lowered his head to think for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No! The eldest son is a smart man, and the situation is so chaotic now, he will never make such an unwise move at this critical juncture. The eldest son is the eldest son of the adult. , Is the rightful heir. Although Erniangniang and several sons have been eyeing the position of the eldest son, the adults will not shake the status of the eldest son for no reason. Plus the last time, the adults have been a little dissatisfied, the eldest son No matter how stupid it is, it won’t make a second mistake."
Zhang Sailiang, who has always supported orthodoxy, has always firmly supported Xia Ziteng, and has a good understanding of Xia Ziteng's temperament. Moreover, if Xia Ziteng really wants to do something important, it is impossible not to come to him to discuss it, so Zhang Sailiang can answer Zhang Huaxuan's question with certainty.
Zhang Huaxuan's ideas are also the same as Zhang Sailiang, although Zhang Huaxuan did not support Xia Ziteng as clear-cut as Zhang Sailiang. However, he has a better understanding of Xia Ziteng's character. Perhaps Xia Ziteng will think of some way to maintain his position, but he will definitely not take such drastic measures. However, the soldiers who blocked the commander of the Xia family princes' army were all under the name Xia Ziteng. Recalling the weird reaction of the little officer just now, Zhang Huaxuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had realized something.
Immediately, Zhang Huaxuan nodded and said, "Now the situation is very critical. We can't delay it any longer. We must immediately enter the Xia family's princes army commander's headquarters to meet with the talents."
"But you have seen the situation just now. We can't enter the mansion at all by relying on us." Zhang Sailiang also looked anxious, not only for the fight between Xia Ziteng and other sons, but now he still has heavy infantry in his hand. This information is in your hand. Zhang Sailiang thought for a while and couldn't help saying: "Why don't we mobilize the defenders in the city."
"No." Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang rejected Zhang Sailiang's proposal unanimously. After talking about the secret report discovered by the Zhang family spies, Zhang Sailiang frowned and said: "Now the defenders in Shangrao have problems. If we arbitrarily mobilize the defenders, it will only be a surprise to the real behind-the-scenes man to take precautions. It will even force them to jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will be bad for the adults at that time."
Zhang Sailiang understood it as soon as he heard it, and said bitterly to the two of them: "That's not okay, that's not okay, we can't just sit and do nothing, right?"
Zhang Sailiang's thoughts were also those of Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang, both of them frowned, thinking about a solution. If you want not to be horrified, and to break through the defensive face of the Xia family's princes army commander's army to meet Xia Cheng, this is not something they can do with weak scholars. But if you are looking for those leading generals, you have to consider whether they will be entrusted to others. In the past few years, the dispute between several sons has split the Xia family into several factions. Not everyone can be like Zhang Huaxuan. Always maintain a neutral position.
"Tsk." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Sailiang couldn't think of a good way. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He said: "To do this important thing, the generals with the surname are already unreliable. Only children. It’s a pity that General Yang Huai led his troops to Poyang again, and the remaining important Xia’s children and children of foreign surnames were stationed everywhere."
Hearing what Zhang Sailiang said, Zhang Huaxuan couldn't help but smile. After all, Zhang Sailiang still relied on Xia Ziteng a little bit more, because most of the Xia's children and children with foreign surnames supported Xia Ziteng's position, so Zhang Sailiang was naturally more inclined to seek their help.
But Zhang Huaxuan couldn’t do this. Now, whether or not the brothers did it, you must be cautious about what happened to the Commander General of the Xia Family’s princes’ army, and you must not hurt any of them before you get Xia Cheng’s intentions. The life of the son. If the children of the Xia clan and Xiahou clan who have a tendency to purpose are called, maybe the life of the brothers will be hurt in the process of doing things.
However, when Zhang Sailiang mentioned the Xia family's children, Zhang Huaxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a person's name flashed in his mind, and even said, "I think of someone, and he is the best person to deal with this matter. What do you think of him?" After speaking, Zhang Huaxuan read the person's name. After hearing Zhang Huaxuan's name, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang both thought for a while, and they nodded in agreement.
Xia Xuan, whose surname is Liu, whose father Liu Hao is Xia Cheng's good friend, followed Xia Cheng's army and made a lot of credit for Xia Cheng. Later, I thought that while fighting with the officers and soldiers under Zhao Gou's tent, he died on the battlefield. In order to take care of the Liu family, Xia Cheng recognized Liu Hao's son as a righteous son, that is, Xia Xuan.
Speaking of Xia Xuan, he is considered to be a child of the Xia family, but Xia Cheng's favor for Xia Xuan is no worse than any of his sons, and even the Forbidden Army around him is handed over to Xia Xuan. And Xia Xuan did not live up to Xia Cheng's expectations. He has always been devoted to his duties. Xia Xuan also turned a blind eye to the struggle between several princes and became one of the few important ministers who could maintain his position.
As the commander of the Forbidden Army, he has been favored and reused by the adults. It stands to reason that Xia Xuan should be smooth in this Shangrao City, and there is nothing to worry about. But in the past few days, Xia Xuan has been digging out, hiding in his own house and no one is seen, even the people in Xia Xuan's house don't know why.
In the study room of Xia Xuan's mansion, Xia Xuan sat at the table alone, holding a pen, and writing a big "Xia Jiajun" on a snow-white brocade on the table. After finishing writing, Xia Xuan sighed and threw the brush on the table. Regardless of whether the splashed ink stained the words he had just written, he stood up and walked straight to the window, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.
"General." After a long time, a voice came from outside the room, but it was a soldier from Xia Xuan's mansion, and said to Xia Xuan with a fist, "General. Zhang Huaxuan Master Zhang asked to see him, saying that there was something important to discuss with the general."
"Zhang Huaxuan?" Xia Xuan turned his head, his eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "Welcome him into the house and send him to the small hall for a good reception. I will come soon."
"Yes." After hearing Xia Xuan's instructions, the soldier immediately retreated and left. Xia Xuan's expression was cloudy and sunny. Finally, he sighed and muttered to himself: "Well, the one who should come is still going to be Come."
In the most remote small hall of Xia Xuan’s residence, Zhang Huaxuan, who was led here by the soldiers, simply sat on a chair with his eyes closed and rested. When Xia Xuan came to the small hall, Zhang Huaxuan was like an unknown prophet. As soon as Xuan stepped into the small hall, his eyes opened. Looking at Xia Xuan, Zhang Huaxuan smiled and said, "General Xuan."
There are many children of the Xia family and Xiahou family in Shangrao City. It is difficult to tell who is who if one is called by surname. Therefore, these younger Xia children will directly call each other by their first names, which also seems close.
Xia Xuan stepped forward and gave a fist to Zhang Huaxuan, saying: "It is really Xuan's luck for Master Zhang to come to the Mansion. Xuan is not able to welcome him far, but it is too much for Xuan to have to wait for a long time."
"Haha!" Xia Xuan said politely, Zhang Huaxuan also had a smile on his face, after the two exchanged greetings, they divided the seats between the host and the guest. After taking his seat, Zhang Huaxuan did not rush to express his intention, but smiled and asked: "General Xuan is the commander of the Forbidden Army. At this time, he should be staying at the Commander General of the Xia Family Princes Army. Now he is staying at home. The general has some discomfort?"
As soon as Zhang Huaxuan's words were asked, Xia Xuan's face became stiff, and his smile became a little ugly. After a while, he said in embarrassment, "Well, cough! I feel cold today, and it is indeed a little unwell."
"Oh?" Zhang Huaxuan's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face was fleeting, but he sighed and said: "My lord's health has not been good for the past few days. General Yang Huai defeated the Eastern Front. This time he attacked. Poyang is also unpredictable misfortune, and now even General Xuan is suffering from the wind and cold. Alas! Could it be that the heavens really want to kill my Xia family
"Huh?" After listening to Zhang Huaxuan's words, Xia Xuan's face immediately showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly asked: "What did Master Zhang just say? Is there any problem with Master Yang's southern expedition to Poyang this time?"
"Uh." Zhang Huaxuan showed an embarrassed expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made some determination in pain. He said: "The information just received from Man Sailiang said that it was Huang Yunfei, who had been silent for a long time in the public security, and suddenly left the public security with heavy armored infantry and rushed towards Poyang. According to my judgment, Huang Yunfei’s goal this time is probably just General Yang Huai's army. I'm afraid General Yang Huai is really bad luck this time."
"What!" When Xia Xuan heard the news, he didn't care about pretending to be sick anymore. He stood up and exclaimed: "There is such a thing? How did the lord respond? Have you sent reinforcements?"
Zhang Huaxuan was overjoyed when he heard Xia Xuan's words. But he remained silent, his face was so bitter that the juice was almost squeezed out. Zhang Huaxuan frowned and said, "Meet the adults? We can't even see the adults now!"
