Chapter 177 There Is only One Sister-in-Law, and that Is Wei Zhang!

"Go!"

"Go!"

Zhang Guifen, dressed in red, continued to gallop on horseback, chasing in the direction of the army.

After catching up, she did not follow the army closely, but deliberately kept a distance.

At this time, many soldiers saw her, and they were suddenly amazed.

"Where did this woman come from? She is so beautiful!"

"She is really beautiful, with a heroic spirit!"

"Isn't this the heroine that the storyteller talks about?"

"."

In the eyes of many soldiers, Zhang Guifen was generous and heroic, like Fu Hao reborn, and like Yu Ji loyal.

At this moment, Chen Daniu was driving at the end of the new army. He turned his head to look at Zhang Guifen, and suddenly turned his head to curse at the soldiers:

"You bastards, don't you want to live? That's the wife of General Wei, your sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers were frightened and retracted their gazes from her, muttering:

"No wonder she is so stunning, it turns out she is the wife of General Wei!"

"Is she here to see General Wei off?"

"What else? Is he here to see you off?"

"."

Chen Daniu glanced at Wei Yuan, who was driving in the front, and then at Zhang Guifen, and simply ordered a soldier,

"Go and report to the commander, and say that the girl from the Zhang family is here."

After that, he came to Zhang Guifen, sat on the horse, and said with a fist:

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the commander will be here soon."

He still remembered that he had paid New Year's greetings to Wei Yuan on the last New Year's Day, but he ruined his good deeds and was kicked twice by him.

The memory is still fresh.

If it weren't for the plea of ​​the sister-in-law in front of him, it would not be a simple matter of being kicked twice.

Zhang Guifen hurriedly said: "General Chen, I'm just here to see him off, don't disturb him."

Chen Daniu smiled, "Last time I ruined your good deeds with your brother, this time, I don't know who dares to say that I don't have good eyesight."

Zhang Guifen shook her head and smiled.

Suddenly, Wei Yuan came towards them.

"Daniu, return to the team."

Chen Daniu hurried back to the marching team.

Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Guifen and said loudly: "Go back."

Zhang Guifen just nodded as a response, but she remained where she was, unmoved.

Wei Yuan waved his hand, said nothing more, and returned to the army.

Zhang Guifen stayed there, watching the army march away.

When she couldn't see them anymore, she would ride her horse to chase them for a distance.

In this way, I don't know how long she had been following them.

The army marched forward on the official road.

Zhang Guifen rode her horse through the woods, looking at Wei Yuan sitting on horseback from a distance.

The latter naturally noticed her, but during the march, he had to set an example for the three armies.

Even if he didn't need to say anything, Zhang Guifen could understand.

After a while.

I don't know who started the commotion, but many soldiers who saw Zhang Guifen in the woods clasped their fists one after another,

"Yang Wei of the Longbow Camp of the Danglu Shengjie Army pays homage to the elder sister-in-law!"

"Kou Zhuang of the Manjia Camp of the Danglu Wei General pays homage to the elder sister-in-law!"

"Xuandun Army"

Voices came one after another.

In just a short while, what Daniu said to some soldiers when he first met Zhang Guifen was almost spread to the whole army.

They all knew that the Wei General's wife, their elder sister-in-law, came to see them off.

Some iron-willed men actually bowed and shouted the word "elder sister-in-law" to the woman hiding in the woods.

This is unique in the history of marches in all dynasties.

After hearing these voices, Wei Yuan glared at Chen Daniu fiercely.

Marching and fighting is an extremely serious matter.

Now such a thing has happened, which is simply ridiculous.

Chen Daniu shook his head and said with a wronged look: "I don't know, I don't know anything!"

Those soldiers were speaking from the bottom of their hearts.

In their eyes, Wei Yuan was their leader.

They were really willing to follow Wei Yuan to fight in the south and the north, and they could entrust their lives to him.

Now, their commander-in-chief, who was also their good brother in their hearts, came to see him off.

They really didn't think there was anything.

On the contrary, they all wanted to meet this "sister-in-law" whom they had never met.

"All soldiers, listen to the order, keep silent, and march!"

Wei Yuan shouted.

Just stopped those voices.

Zhang Guifen also heard it.

Her pretty face blushed, and she stopped hiding. Instead, she stood openly in an open space in the woods, and continued to watch the army go away.

"Wei Zhang Guifen, respectfully send off the heroes of our Great Zhou to fight against the Japanese. I hope all the soldiers will make achievements and bring honor to their ancestors!"

"Wei Zhang Guifen, respectfully send off the heroes of our Great Zhou"

"."

She repeated this sentence over and over again.

She could vaguely guess that her appearance might have caused trouble for Wei Yuan.

But she couldn't control herself.

Now that all the soldiers knew about it, she simply stopped hiding.

She repeated those words with her loudest voice.

Many soldiers heard it and felt warm in their hearts.

If Wei Yuan hadn't given the order, they really wanted to say a few more words to their sister-in-law to express their gratitude.

Who said that we soldiers who are not from the capital don't have relatives to see us off?

Wei Shuai's wife, our sister-in-law, is our relative!

According to the etiquette, Zhang Guifen couldn't say the three words "Wei Zhang" before she went out.

But she was the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo and a daughter of a general, so she didn't care about those vulgar etiquette.

Maybe even Zhang Guifen didn't expect it.

Because the words she shouted in front of the whole army today were heard by many people.

In addition to Wei Yuan, the most prestigious person in the hearts of the new army soldiers is no longer Yang Huairen, Chen Daniu or Xu Changzhi, the deputy commander of the cavalry.

But she, Wei Zhang Guifen.

Zhang Guifen, dressed in red and heroic.

The new army soldiers recognized this sister-in-law.

In the future, they will continue to work hard for the offspring born by Wei Yuan and this sister-in-law.

At that time, they will call their legitimate son "Young Marshal".

If Wei Yuan is crowned king, then the legitimate son born by him and Zhang Guifen will be honored as "Prince" by the soldiers.

At this time, Yang Huairen, Chen Daniu, Lin Zhaoyuan, Xiao Yuming, Shen Qing, Xie Wu and others suddenly gathered together.

They bowed deeply to Zhang Guifen in the forest.

Wei Shuai asked them to be silent, but did not say that they could not meet their future sister-in-law in this way.

From today onwards.

If someone offends Wei Yuan one day, the generals will listen to how Wei Yuan handles it, or if that person has a good relationship with them, they may plead with Wei Yuan for that person.

But if someone offends the sister-in-law they have recognized, then sorry, no one can help.

Just because of what Zhang Guifen said, they recognized and identified this sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.

——

A few days later, the new army passed through Zhuxian Town and encountered heavy rain. They had to temporarily set up camp and slow down the march.

In the main account where Wei Yuan was.

Fan Chunren slowly said:

"The first batch of food and grass will be supplied by various prefectures and counties in the southeast. Now it is ready. After we rush to Liangzhe Road, we will get the first batch of food and grass."

"As for the subsequent food and grass, the Ministry of Households will send people to allocate them, but that should be two months later."

Due to the small scale of the expedition, the court did not transfer grain from various places to the capital.

Instead, Zhao Zhen personally issued an order to use the civilian grain stored by the government in the southeast to supply the needs of the new army.

The southeast is considered a small granary of the Great Zhou, so there is no shortage of grain for 80,000 soldiers.

As for the big granary, it is Jiangnan.

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "For marching and fighting, food and grass are the top priority and cannot be missed."

"Has there been any news from the Imperial City Department recently?"

The army went out to fight, in addition to the scouts trained in the army.

The court's professional intelligence collection department should first investigate all kinds of things in front, and then report to Wei Yuan in a unified manner.

This is called knowing yourself and the enemy, and fighting a hundred battles without danger.

Yang Huairen shook his head and said, "It is estimated that we will have to wait until we arrive in the Jiangnan area before we can receive the news collected by the Imperial City Department."

Wei Yuan looked at Fan Chunren again, "Has the Japanese envoy left?"

Fan Chunren shook his head and said, "No, he said he was discussing some business with Fuchang Bo."

He was in his thirties, with a square face, and was rigorous in his work, quite like Wen Zhenggong.

Wei Yuan nodded, "This trip, we are going to kill the Japanese, which is somewhat related to Japan."

"Has the Honglu Temple negotiated with Japan? What is their attitude?"

"And how do the overseas countries view this matter?"

Fan Chunren said: "The Honglu Temple has taken a very tough attitude this time. No matter what the overseas countries think, anyone who steals along the coast of my Great Zhou and dares to obstruct the national policy of opening up sea transportation will be killed without mercy."

"Since the Honglu Temple took this attitude, no one in the overseas countries dared to comment. As for The Japanese did propose that if they encountered the Japanese pirate leader on the coast, they hoped that they could hand him over to them for disposal. "

Wei Yuan snorted coldly, "That's a nice thought. My new army traveled thousands of miles to the southeast and finally wiped out a group of pirates. Should we hand over the leader to them?"

Fan Chunren smiled and said, "Your Majesty also thought so. So, Your Majesty asked the Honglu Temple to reject it outright. As I said, no matter what forces the overseas countries are, as long as there is a possibility of harming the national policy of maritime transportation, we will never tolerate it!"

Wei Yuan felt relieved.

With the emperor's words, the affairs in the southeast would be easy to handle.

At that time, everyone in the Great Zhou looked down on the overseas countries.

My Celestial Empire's affairs are also active in my coastal areas. Do you dare to ask about it?

We are friendly to Liao and Xia because once a war breaks out, it will be a war between nations.

As for you overseas countries, why should we treat you well if you are not allowed to move?

It is rare for the Great Zhou to be tough on foreign affairs. As the commander of the new army, Wei Yuan naturally knows what to do.

After Fan Chunren leaves here and goes back to rest.

Wei Yuan specifically told Lin Zhaoyuan,

"Before the expedition, I told Yan Da, the commander of the Imperial City Division, to help me pay more attention to the movements and thoughts of officials in the southeast."

"When we go to the southeast, our real opponents are the Japanese pirates and the complicated situation in the southeast, which involves the local officials and clans."

"After all, the Imperial City Division is separated from us. I can't rely on them for everything, but I am blind."

"You personally lead a team of scouts and rush to the southeast. Use your methods to investigate the local situation. If there are any changes, report immediately."

If we wait until we reach the southeast to deal with everything, I'm afraid it will be too late.
