The hot pot at noon was a feast for Li Tai. Li Tai, who had never experienced this kind of eating before, took Zhang San's small hanging pot with him when he left.
After eating this meal, Zhang San also had a deeper understanding of Li Tai.
"You must not mess with this fat man!" Zhang San sighed as he lay on the wicker chair.
This public opinion storm that Zhang San deliberately contributed to, did not expect it to turn into this in the end.
Not only did he not destroy his own personality, but he also made the big shots in the court see Zhang San's status in the hearts of the poor men.
Especially Li Tai's last apology caught Zhang San off guard. He originally wanted to stay away from Li Shimin's sons and daughters who were like jackals and tigers, but unexpectedly he didn't run away.
As far as Zhang San knew, Li Shimin's sons and daughters, including his son-in-law, had no safe place. They either rebelled or planned to rebel. However, Li Tai seemed to have escaped unscathed.
After his death, he was posthumously named Yongzhou Mu by Li Zhi, with the posthumous title Gong.
"Since it didn't happen, don't worry too much about it. If you live your life again, you should live it happily." Zhang San said to himself.
The public opinion against Zhang San in Chang'an continues to ferment, and has spread to many counties around Chang'an.
Although those poor people were spreading rumors in an attempt to reverse the situation, they were weak after all. Zhang San, the person involved, had been hiding in the county uncle's house. Soon, this little splash was drowned by the push of the Zheng family and the Cui family.
.
But what Zhang San didn't expect again was that a bigger piece of news instantly covered this wave of public opinion.
"What? Are you going to the border?" When Zhang San saw Cheng Chumo, he was shocked by the news he brought.
"Blizzards continued on the grasslands this year, freezing sheep, horses and livestock to death. The Turks often harassed the border. Last month, Yalkin and Ashinadur led their troops to harass Hexi, but were jointly repelled by Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baoxiang." Cheng Chu.
Mo said in a deep voice.
"Did history write it wrong?" Zhang San murmured to himself.
"What did you say?" Cheng Chumo asked, not hearing clearly.
"Oh, it's nothing. When are you leaving?" Zhang San asked after coming back to his senses.
"I'm here to talk to you in three days. Once I go this time, I don't know when I can see you again."
"I will give you a ride when the time comes. I wish you a great victory over the enemy and a triumphant return." Zhang San knew that Cheng Chumo's dream was to go into battle and kill the enemy, making achievements like his father.
The two of them got drunk again that day, and Cheng Chumo could no longer get on his horse when he left, so Zhang Fu drove him back to Cheng Mansion.
Zhang San knew about several important battles during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, one was to destroy the Turks, and the other was to defeat Goguryeo, but they were not at this time.
According to the historical process, it was in the third year of Zhenguan that the Turks invaded Hexi and were repelled by the combined efforts of the then guards Zhang Baoxiang and Zhang Shigui. Then Li Shimin used this as an excuse to launch a war against the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Three days later, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict announcing that the troops would be divided into six groups and send troops to the Turks.
Li Jing was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the march on Dingxiang Road, and was responsible for the control of the Sixth Army.
Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou who inspected the school, was the general manager of the march on Heng'an Road, and Cheng Yaojin was the deputy general manager. They led the army to the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic troops from escaping eastward.
Cheng Chumo followed Cheng Yaojin to the Yanyun area.
Zhang Sanyao looked at Cheng Chumo and silently wished him a safe trip.
Yuchi Baolin followed Yuchi Gong to Yunzhong.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the Turks will also pay a heavy price for this invasion.
Zhang San stood on Zhuque Street, unable to calm down for a long time. This war came too suddenly, and history was moved forward. So are the advanced historical materials he relied on still useful?
"Xiaosan, come and sit at my place for a while!" Fang Yiai patted Zhang San on the shoulder and said.
"Let's go!" Zhang San withdrew his gaze and followed Fang Yiai away.
"Xiao Ai, why did this war come so suddenly?" Zhang San asked.
"Suddenly? Didn't you participate in the previous military parade?" Fang Yiai was stunned when he heard this and replied.
"Yes!" Zhang San was still immersed in the history he had learned in the past, but he didn't know that all this had been foreshadowed.
Li Shimin has never forgotten the shame of the Weishui River, and has been actively preparing for it. Just to find a suitable opportunity to send troops, he will avenge his shame, and the Turks just happened to bring this opportunity.
"Why don't you come forward to explain those rumors in Chang'an some time ago? My father doesn't want me to interfere." When the two returned to Fang Mansion, Fang Yiai asked.
"Rumors stop at a wise man. Don't worry about what he does." Zhang San said with a smile.
"You have a good attitude. When I first heard those rumors, I almost beat up those people who gossiped." Fang Yiai said.
"It's a good thing you didn't do anything, otherwise I would have been notorious for thousands of years." Zhang San laughed.
"But now, everyone is talking about this war, and no one cares about your rumors."
"I do want this rumor to continue to spread." Zhang San picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea.
"Why?" Fang Yiai asked doubtfully.
"You don't understand, maybe Uncle Fang knows!" Zhang San sipped his saliva and leaned on the chair and said.
"Mysterious, don't say I'm going to pull you down." Fang Yiai didn't ask much.
"How are you doing with Keying?" Zhang San hasn't seen Fang Keying for a long time, and he misses her very much.
"I just know that I miss my sister. I won't marry her back home next spring. Look at how anxious you are." Fang Yiai said angrily.
"What do you know? When will you get married?" Zhang San asked.
"Oh! I don't know, just let her be!"
Fang Yiai didn't care about this marriage at all. Although he would have the status of a consort in the future, he didn't want to think about living and drinking freely.
"You don't like Princess Gaoyang?"
"I've never seen it before, so I don't know whether I like it or not."
"Yes, but since she is a princess, she looks pretty good after all. Why don't you go and take a look secretly."
"You think I'm like you? Besides, she's a princess, not a female member of the Fang family." Fang Yi said lovingly.
"Okay, I wish you good luck." Zhang San smiled.
"Why don't you move to Chang'an so that the brothers can meet more easily? What good can you do in the countryside?" Fang Yiai said, changing the subject.
"What's good about Chang'an? It's noisy, but it's not as quiet as mine."
"Haha, by the way, how did you and King Wei form a feud? Do you want to ask Changsun Chong to mediate?" King Wei's mother, Queen Changsun, is Changsun Chong's aunt. Fang Yiai was worried that King Wei would treat Zhang again. He took action three times and said.
"No, we Liang Ziqing are still together that day eating hot pot." Zhang San replied.
"Clear? How did you do it?" Fang Yiai said in surprise.
"There was no conflict in the first place. Last time King Wei came to see me, I apologized to him, and the matter was over." Zhang San did not tell Fang Yiai that King Wei came to apologize first, so as not to cause any trouble again if King Wei knew about it. , it’s not that I can’t trust Fang Yiai, it’s just that there are some things that don’t need to be so clearly distinguished.
