Chapter 572
In September of the golden autumn, Cui Shirou's small yard was full of golden chrysanthemums, as if they were covered with gold, and it was so beautiful. The gray goose became fatter and thick and smooth. When she walked, she held her head and chest up, shook her swaying three times. Her plump butt was arrogant and sexy. The fat under the skin must be very fat. When the weather became cold after winter, it would be great to slaughter the stewed potatoes. Unfortunately, there were no potatoes in the Sui Dynasty.
Gao Bufan was very regretful and took his eyes back from the fat gray goose. Although the gray goose has been raised into a domestic duck, the agility of wild animals seems to be still there. It is probably because he noticed that a certain male human was greedy for his body, twisting his plump butt and hiding in the chrysanthemums and no longer showing his head.
Not far away, Changsun Wugui and Cui Shirou were walking and chatting with each other holding hands. They were intimate, with graceful youthful backs, white teeth and bright eyes, snowy skin and fragrant cheeks, and the cool autumn wind blew their dresses, as beautiful as a painting.
By the way, Gao Bufan is getting busier and busier now. He finally took a day off today and accompanied Wugui to Rouer's small yard to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
Cui Shirou is a good at training small animals and is very good at handling flowers and plants. Her yard has endless flowers blooming all year round, which is so beautiful. Her father and brother really spoiled her and tried every means to collect flowers from all over the place and bring them back for her. So you can see many novel flowers in Cui Shirou's yard. For example, there are more than a dozen chrysanthemums blooming in the yard, including very expensive varieties, so you can hold a flower exhibition.
Of course, the Cui family is not short of money at all, so it is impossible to hold a flower exhibition. Moreover, this is Cui Shirou's residence, and it is impossible for outsiders to be allowed to enter except for her family. As for now, the "outsiders" who have the fame to admire the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard are probably only Gao Bufan and Changsun Wugui. However, after the twelfth lunar month, they will be a family.
Since the marriage with Brother Gao was settled, although Cui Shirou still blushed and shy, she is obviously more lively than before. She even dares to look at someone with affectionate eyes. When there is no one, it is okay to hold hands and hug her.
There is no end to the conversation between women when talking about private words. Gao Bufan couldn't get into the words, and was embarrassed to get stuck between the two women as the light bulb, so he had to sit down on the base of the flowerbed, smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers and looking at the sky to make divination.
At this time, a maid came in, came to Gao Bufan, and respectfully bowed: "Report to the Chief Supervisor, Changsun joins the army outside to see the Chief Supervisor."
Changsun Wuji is now serving as the military officer in Youzhou Prefecture, so he is naturally what Changsun joins the army.
Gao Bufan immediately stood up, and Changsun Wuji suddenly came to him. It seemed that something big happened.
Changsun Wugui and Cui Shirou, who were chatting not far away, obviously heard it. Their eyes looked over at each other, containing concern and inquiries.
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Wugui, Rou'er, my husband has lost some trouble and will keep talking for a while."
Cui Shirou couldn't help but fly on her cheeks. Although the marriage was decided, she had not yet passed the door. When she heard that Gao's brother called herself husband, although there was a possibility of a slip of the tongue, she was still very shy and a little bit happy.
Changsun Wuji smiled gently and said, "Business matters are important, husband, please go and go for it, don't worry about us."
Gao Bufan nodded and left the courtyard. He came to the living room in front. Sure enough, he saw where Changsun Wuji was waiting. He quickly walked forward and asked, "Wuji, what happened? But there is a letter from Shiji who came back?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "No, it's news from Luoyang that Zhang Xutuo was killed."
Gao Bufan was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment before sighing lightly. Although he had long expected that Zhang Xutuo and Wagang would inevitably lose in the battle, he suddenly heard the news of Zhang Xutuo's death and asked, "How did Zhang Xutuo die?"
"Zhang Xutuo won consecutive battles and probably planned to fight the Wagang Army in a decisive battle, and earned his merits in one battle, so he arranged the Bafeng Camp to attack the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Wagang Army that besieged Xingyang."
Gao heard this and couldn't help but admire Zhang Xutuo's courage and fearlessness. He dared to advance with just over ten thousand men and attack the enemy army dozens of times his own, but this was too tragic.
Changsun Wuji continued: "Zhai Rang led his army to fight Zhang Xutuo's Bafeng Camp. He was beaten to pieces at first and retreated to the near Dahai Temple in the northeast of Xingyang. Li Mi raised his troops and surrounded the Bafeng Camp. Zhang Xutuo waited for reinforcements for a long time and could only lead his troops to break through and kill five in and five out. Unfortunately, he failed to rescue his subordinates and eventually died in a fierce battle. It is said that Zhang Xutuo has always stood firm after his death, and no one dared to touch him at all."
"How magnificent, it's a true hero!" Gao Bufan couldn't help but look in awe.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Later, Luo Shixin arrived and snatched Zhang Xutuo's body away. But strangely, the other two tiger generals under Zhang Xutuo's command, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, never appeared. If the three of them could arrive at the battlefield in time, the result might be rewritten."
Gao Bufan frowned and said, "Li Mi is meticulous and full of wisdom. Since he ambushed Zhang Xutuo, he must have made perfect plans. I guess Qin Shubao and others were dragged by him with a trick. Last time, I almost fell under Li Mi's hands. Fortunately, my second brother Li Jing would help him, otherwise... the consequences would be unpredictable."
Changsun Wuji said sternly when he heard this: "Li Mi is indeed awesome. If you meet him in the future, you will have to wake up your energy."
Gao Bufan said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, Li Mi is not impeccable. As the saying goes, everything will turn back. Li Mi is too smart. Sometimes she is smart and is easily mistaken by cleverness."
Changsun Wuji heard this and said, "It seems that Changqing is already confident!"
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "It's not as confident. I may not be as smart as Li Mi, but I'm too lazy to use my brain if I ask myself that I can handle it. However, Li Mi is not only smart, but also likes to use her own brains and do everything by herself. Over time, he himself becomes smarter and smarter, but the people below are becoming more and more timid and unable to think independently. Naturally, they will become stupider and more lazy Li Mi. In this way, Li Mi will definitely distrust the people below even more. Everything is based on his own ideas and is stubborn. It will be a matter of time sooner or later. Let's see, Li Mi defeated Zhang Xutuo, which is so powerful that he is far superior to Zhai Rang. He will cook oil in a fire. Everything will be reversed. If Li Mi is not careful in dealing with it, disaster will be coming."
After listening to Gao Bufan's analysis, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but stroking his hands and said, "Changqing's words are reasonable. If Li Mi is a counselor, he must be top-notch. But if he is a commander, being too smart will become a disadvantage. Changqing can still remain sober now, so I feel relieved!"
Gao Bufan smiled bitterly and said, "You Wugui is holding a life next to his pillow every day. How can I not wake up? It's sober in the world."
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but laugh, Gao Bufan said, "Wuji came to me, isn't it just to tell Zhang Xutuo about his death?"
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Wei Changshi and Du Zhonglang are still waiting in the mansion."
Gao Bufan said in his heart: "As soon as Zhang Xutuo dies, they must be trying to persuade me to send troops to Hejian County."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Now is a good time to send troops. If you are late, you will have to take advantage of Dou Jiande. I also suggest that Changqing, you should send troops as soon as possible."
"Let's go back and have a detailed chat. Once Zhang Xutuo dies, the Boling Cui family should make a decision." Gao Bufan nodded, turned around and walked outside. Suddenly, he stopped and called a maid to order: "Go and tell Mrs. Wugui that I will leave in advance and come to pick her up in the afternoon."
The maid quickly bowed and agreed to the promise, and came to Cui Shirou's courtyard to report: "Madam, the general manager, leave when something happens, and come to pick you up again in the afternoon."
Changsun Wugui nodded and said softly: "I understand, can you say what happened?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything, but I seemed to hear from the General Manager and the Chief Secretary of the Changsun that Zhang Xutuo was killed!"
Changsun Wugui was slightly moved and said to himself: "It turns out that General Zhang was killed. Well, in this case, I am afraid that my husband will send troops to Hejian County."
Cui Shirou asked in confusion: "Why does Sister Wugui feel that when General Zhang dies, Brother Gao will send troops to Hejian County?"
Changsun Wugui smiled and said, "I guessed too, let's see if I guess correctly."
Cui Shirou smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Wugui is so smart, and he guesses are definitely accurate, but Rouer thinks there is no need to fight Hejian County at all."
"Huh, why is this?"
Cui Shirou smiled and said, "I heard from my father that Hejian County is close to us and has a close relationship with our Youzhou. Moreover, the people of Hejian County have a good impression of Brother Gao and envious of our Youzhou very much. So Rouer thought that as long as Brother Gao sent a soldier into Hejian County, those local officials and gentry would naturally surrender and there was no need to fight."
