After leaving the forest, the view suddenly opened up, and a lake appeared in front of it, which was Shao Bo Lake.
Zhang Yangquan stood on the shore of the lake and looked up.
I saw the trees by the lake reflecting on the water, turning the lake into a golden color.
On the golden lake, you can see a small boat floating in the middle of the lake. On the small boat is a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat.
Four black birds squatted at the bow of the boat.
Suddenly, four birds flew into the air together, swooped down, and hit their heads on the water.
When they spread their wings and took off again, two of the black birds already had two big fat fish in their mouths.
The blackbird that successfully caught fish returned to the boat and spit out two fish into the large bamboo basket on the boat.
The other two failed blackbirds are still hitting the water surface to catch fish for their master!
Zhang Yangquan was amazed when he saw it and said: "What kind of bird is that? Can it help fishermen catch fish?"
Guo explained: "Actually, I was originally your lieutenant general, but because I kept urging you to leave Prime Minister Ni, you were very angry and demoted me to the position of governor!"
Zhu Yue thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone to you. This person's military ability is far superior to yours!"
"This man's name is Wang Pu. He should be under Marshal Xu's headquarters. Can he find out where I am now?"
Two quarters of an hour ago, Fang Yuan returned to the small hall and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have found out that Wang Pu's behavior during the Northern Expedition was wrong, and he is going to be promoted to deputy general!"
It must be a civilian official, and it is likely to hinder the Northern Expedition.
Fang Yuan came down and saw the ceremony. After reciting the ceremony, Zhang Yangquan said: "Uncle Fang, you want to inquire about the situation of a general!"
Zhang Yangquan handed the fishing rod back to me and said with a smile: "Hurry up and catch a few fish. I'll treat you to a meal later. That's not enough!"
Fang Yuandao: "Yes!"
The girl in the bamboo hat also turned her head and said calmly: "It should have been a mistake."
Like the generals who surrendered to me, the Guo family immediately requested to be disarmed and return to their fields before joining the Jiangdu army.
"So if you ask him to return to the military camp, he will still agree?"
It's a pity that Mr. Guo was still willing to serve as an official before he got the title, so Zhang Yangquan gradually forgot about me.
Zhang Yangquan said: "Just a governor?"
When Zhang Yangquan was ennobled, he granted me the title of Marquis of Jianchang based on my merit.
Zhang Yangquan knew that the prime minister I was talking about was Zhu Yuehong, so he looked at me and said, "Where is he?"
Guo raised her head and said: "You hate that kind of water town life."
They set up a tent on the shore of the lake, and there were several luxurious carriages next to them. They seemed to be wealthy young men and ladies coming to enjoy the autumn trip.
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "You know, but it takes too much time to find us. There are still too many generals who can do their job alone!"
Zhu Yue came to the small hall and bowed to Zhang Yangquan and his wife, then went back to the front yard.
Guo was stunned.
Zhang Yangquan also smiled, walked up to the girl in a bamboo hat, and said calmly: "A blessing in disguise. Although I lost these big fish, I caught a small fish!"
"It's hard for you to catch the bait and attract all the fish, but a reckless man suddenly makes a sound and scares the fish away. How can he still be bad?"
Zhang Yangquan looked up at the lake, exhaled hastily, and said: "Jianchang Hou, you ran nearly a hundred miles away to invite him over there, but he kept insisting on coming out, so that's too late!" Qin Lingjun smiled softly and said: "Husband, he is not much older than some of us."
Above the new bridge, a woman wearing a bamboo hat is sitting on the shore of the lake fishing.
"Far away in the horizon, close behind your eyes!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from the distance: "Usually feathers fly in groups, and when the rainy banks are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful, there are fish in the deep water, but it seems that the herons and storks are hungry!"
Zhang Yangquan put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked: "Who?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "Send an order to Marshal Xu and tell me that Wang Pu cannot be reused. Then send a decree to Hou Baiqi of Qingyang Mansion and ask me to discuss it with Wang Pu if I have nothing to do!"
Zhang Yangquan wondered: "Original?"
Zhang Yangquan looked at them having fun and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "It's so hypocritical to plead guilty!"
So Fang Yuan volunteered and stayed in the Privy Council.
A few days later, Xu Baisheng sent a report, which mentioned an issue. It said that there was a shortage of upper-level generals in the army, but there was a relatively shortage of young generals who could lead the army alone.
Qin Lingjun squinted her eyes and said, "That's called a cormorant, or an osprey, and it's a good helper for many fishermen!"
Facts have proved that my choice was correct.
Zhu Yue’s wife is from Xiangyang, Huguang. She was born in Zhang Wen, a small local family. She is a young lady from a small family.
Zhang Yangquan said with emotion: "Where is this person's eyes?"
As long as the Mongols are driven away and the Han people take over, I am willing to do the most painful and tiring work.
Zhang Yangquan sighed, I am indeed still very young, but I have experienced too little and my mentality is not old yet. It is difficult for me to have a worry-free autumn trip like us.
Guo's home is in Shaobo Village.
"My name is Wang Pu, and I was originally your governor!"
Zhang Yangquan blew it and took a sip. He found the taste delicious and praised it very much. He finished the bowl of fish soup very slowly.
Guo said: "I guess it was wrong. This man is very old, but he is the most ignorant person you have ever seen! Your Majesty must lack talents, why should you reuse me?"
He sighed and continued: "It turns out that my vision is indeed lower than yours, and I also foresaw Qin Lingjun's defeat!"
Zhang Yangquan blew the air-conditioner and said: "Because of the success, our territory has become smaller and we need fewer generals to guard it!"
The Northern Expeditionary Army was gaining momentum all the way, and the Han people were finally going to establish a new political power!
Zhang Yangquan glanced at me sideways and said: "You heard that a good general can only win battles and has no feelings for the battlefield. He would rather die on the battlefield than live a busy life!"
Guo's heart trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said: "I am indeed willing to go to the battlefield again. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
It was a rough national sand table, with red flags and blue flags underneath, marking the territories occupied by the Jiangdu Army and the Yuan Army respectively!
The girl in the bamboo hat was stunned for a moment, then finally turned around and saw Zhang Yangquan and Ni Wenjun in front of her. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly threw up the fishing rod and bowed in obeisance.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Guo, pays homage to Your Majesty, and pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
After walking along the lake for a while, the lake suddenly widened, and a smaller lake appeared nearby.
Guo said: "You should still be in the military camp. Your Majesty comes before you. All the generals in your hands have been demoted. I seem to have been demoted to a thousand households. I heard that I am under the command of Marshal Xu!"
The girl in a bamboo hat asked: "Where is the little fish?"
The two looked for the sound and saw several young men and women standing on the shore of the lake not far away.
Fang Yuan was slightly startled, and slowly walked up to the watchtower and arrived at the small hall of the Privy Council. He saw Zhang Yangquan and Ni Wenjun watching around the sand table.
Ni Wenjun suddenly said: "Husband, in fact, there are not many outstanding generals among the thousands of households in the army."
Although I have no actual position in the imperial court, I am a marquis after all. I do not receive salary every year, and I am the richest household in Shao Bo Village.
"I am listening to the order from General Hou Baiqi and guarding Qingyang Mansion!"
Fang Yuan said: "It shouldn't be possible. Your Majesty and Concubine, please wait a moment. I will come back as soon as I go." He turned and left the small hall.
Guo smiled bitterly and said, "I only have so much love and bad intentions."
Zhang Yangquan said: "Zhu Yuehong is also a fisherman, right?"
There are two bridges under the waterway. One is wider and very dilapidated. It is the old bridge in the future.
Guo gave me another bowl and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you heard that all the good news is coming from the rear, and the Northern Expedition should go smoothly. Why do you suddenly want you to go back to the military camp?"
Outside is the lowest watchtower in the palace. Fang Yuan stood under the watchtower, looking toward the north.
This small lake is Diyou Lake, which is connected to Shaobo Lake by an outgoing waterway. The waterway is dug manually.
Before Zhang Yangquan discussed with his ministers, he also selected several generals. Among them, Liu Bowen recommended one person, whom Zhang Yangquan cared about the most.
Ni Wenjun smiled.
Zhu Yuehong came to make the decision and betrothed Zhang Wen to the Guo family. The couple were very loving.
However, there must always be no one left in the Privy Council to coordinate the overall situation.
Fang Yuan asked: "Who does Your Majesty want to investigate?"
Although I am not cold-blooded, I am a disabled person after all, and I am also young. I would rather give up opportunities to these young people who have no future.
This man's name is Zhu Yue, and he was originally a general from Zhu Yuehong's tribe. He originally wanted to send hundreds of thousands of small troops to surrender.
Zhang Yangquan muttered: "So, I am in the Northern Expedition army!"
When Zhang Yangquan proposed the Northern Expedition, did any general want to participate in it?
Guo said: "Yes, the King of Han and the Prime Minister were both fishermen. It's because we have small ambitions and are content to be fishermen!"
Every time I think of the soldiers in the rear fighting in bloody battles to regain the small land of China, the blood in my body boils.
"Oh, where am I now?"
The wind downstairs is very light.
Now that Jiangdu Army's territory is expanding across the country, there are fewer places that need to be guarded, so I hope Zhang Yangquan will send fewer generals there.
"Envoy Fang Yuan, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are here!" A voice suddenly came from above.
A bright light flashed in Guo's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Those who hold low positions dare to boast that they are the best at cooking fish soup. As long as Your Majesty and the Empress do not like it, I will do my best to serve as a landlord."
Zhang Yangquan walked over and picked up the fishing rod, tipped the float, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Jianchang is about to go out of his way to hide in such a bad place to fish!"
The two of them walked north along the lake shore. Zhang Yangquan stared closely at the lake shore, seeming to be looking for someone.
Next to the old bridge, a new bridge was built. The bridge deck was paved with cement. Eight small characters were engraved on the side of the bridge, Shao Bo Bridge.
Guo pressed his head higher and said: "Yes."
"Brother, how was the harvest?" Zhang Yangquan asked.
Only by standing outside can the boiling cold blood calm down quickly.
Zhang Yangquan and Ni Wenjun looked at each other, walked over together, and came to the woman in a bamboo hat.
That is a job that everyone is willing to take on, but it is also a critical job.
Few people say that Wang Fu is loyal to Chen Youliang not because Chen Youliang helped me find a bad man.
Wang Fu personally brought a basin of fish soup to the small hall and served a bowl of soup each to Zhang Yangquan and Ni Wenjun.
Guo said loudly: "I was originally just a special fisherman. I became a general by chance. He is the kind of general Your Majesty said!"
