But here, there is not as good supply as Qingjiangpu. Nearly two thousand cavalrymen eat horses, which is really expensive. Although the salt merchants have money, they have no choice but to do anything in Pizhou. They can only rely on the supply of the general Zhou Baolu and the Pizhou prefect's ruling yamen, which is very difficult.

"We need to fight quickly. It's only a day and a half away from the Hejiazhuang fast horse. We have to go straight to the hinterland and announce Zhao Jin's serious crime in public, so that his troops can panic and separate, and then arrest people and ask for punishment. Go and leave quickly, and come to clean up after the chaos in Xuzhou." Ma Chonghao set the rules.

Greedy is greedy for money, and quarrel is quarrel. The few people who came here with the elite cavalry still knew how to march and set up formations, and they also had a proper response. No one had any objections to Ma Chonghao's words.

With the local channel of General Zhou Shen, news about Xuzhou continued to spread. The first one was that the rebel Zhao Jin had gathered nearly 5,000 subordinates to occupy Hejiazhuang, preparing to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers.

Upon hearing this news, more than twenty other guards of General Zhou Shen had "injured" to withdraw, but others were disdainful.

"There are less than 5,000 people, and the horse team is less than 600. At best, he is a tycoon bandit, but how can he compare to our elite cavalry? Besides, Xuzhou is still flat. We all lead the men to set up a formation and rush. Let's talk about him as a powerful man. Even if Yang Hao leads the 100,000 troops, we may not be able to bear it if we attack like this." Xu Tiebiao said confidently.

For example, everyone burst into laughter. To this day, the most elite and powerful army in the army are the guards around the chief general, and the cavalry among the guards is the strongest. It can be said that the people gathered by Ma Chonghao are the essence of the entire Nanzhili army, so they naturally have this confidence.

However, when Ma Chonghao heard the joke, he frowned, but he didn't say anything.

The second news is that many people in the city go out of the city, either to relatives' homes or places where they can stay. Anyway, they have to hide temporarily. These people are family members of the servants, and they are afraid of being implicated by this incident. In addition, the people from Xuzhou are still afraid of Zhao Jin's power and dare not eat a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army. Even the people of General Zhou Shen went to hint that the magistrate's yamen were pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Another purely rumor is that Zhao Jin's wife was about to give birth or had given birth to a child, but because of the arrival of the army, the news has not been released secretly.

"At present, everyone cannot be careless. Xuzhou is the enemy country. We must be careful every step of the way. If we really want to take action, we cannot worry about those jars and jars. Before Zhao Jin was captured, we could not do anything accurately. Only by holding the thief and everything was a foregone conclusion, those were our things in our pockets."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Ma Chonghao's words made everyone laugh: "Even if you don't dare to show off after giving birth, this is obviously because you are afraid of us. You are ready for defeat and want to leave a trace of blood at that time. They are already scared, and this matter will be done."

Zhao Jin's second child is a boy.

When he gave birth to his first child, Zhao Jin had no idea and put the childbirth in his memory at this moment. However, he did not expect that the pregnant woman was extremely dangerous when giving birth, and it was not uncommon for both mother and son to die.

After knowing this, I heard and witnessed the following period and knew some examples. When Xu Zhenzhen was pregnant this time, Zhao Jin was very worried.

"My husband is busy with his own big things, so don't care about women's affairs." Xu Zhenzhen didn't want Zhao Jin to worry too much about this.

But how could Zhao Jin not think about it? When he was about to give birth, urgent messages were constantly passed to his hands. Ma Chonghao, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei, led a team across the river. The large group of people had arrived in Yangzhou and had arrived in Qingjiangpu. The merchants in Qingjiangpu had already defected to Shucheng.

There was no news of blockade in Zhaoziying in Xuzhou, and in fact it could not be blocked. So, according to the scheduled plan, we sat down and watched the performance of the people in Xuzhou.

The news was also known by his parents. Xu Zhenzhen knew it. Zhao Zhentang was fine. He just asked Zhao Jin for a thousand regiments to serve as soldiers in the garrison of Xiao County. However, his mother He Cuihua was frightened and afraid of delaying Zhao Jin's affairs. She cried secretly at night. As a result, Meng Ziqi told his brother that his brother Meng Zhiqi passed the news to Zhao Jin again.

Xu Zhenzhen, who has always been strong, was not controlled. The couple chatted at night, and often burst into tears as they talked.

"I'm not afraid of crying, what are you afraid of? Don't scare Xiaofeng." Zhao Jin was really helpless at this time, and he couldn't scold or say anything.

At this time, Zhao Feng knew a little about it. When he saw his mother crying, he didn't know what happened. He only knew howled, which made Zhao Jin even more anxious.

"Husband, you might as well get Xiaolan girl back. If I have a short and small life, Xiaolan girl can take good care of Feng'er." Xu Zhenzhen said while wiping her tears.

While comforting his daughter, Zhao Jin was amused and crying. He said helplessly: "Do you know, I don't even feel anything about Ma Chonghao bringing the phone here, but I'm really a headache for you to say this, and it's not even a problem."

"Maybe my husband wants to let the girl from the Meng family enter the door, that girl is very smart. What's rare is that she has education, but I'm worried that Xiaofeng will suffer a loss after she enters the door." There is more than one candidate on Xu Zhenzhen's side.

At this time, Zhao Feng stopped crying and looked curiously with his finger in his mouth. Zhao Jin shook his daughter and frowned and said, "Don't mess around. Everyone outside is busy. I finally took time to accompany you once, but in the end I told you about finding a stepmother for my daughter. Isn't this a joke?"

After sighing this sentence, Zhao Jin was also curious and couldn't help asking: "Why did Xiaofeng suffer a loss when Meng Ziqi comes in? I'm just strange if I don't need this look.

"The girl from the Meng family has an older brother. His older brother looks smart and sensible. He will definitely have a promising future." Xu Zhenzhen did not answer directly.

Zhao Jin looked at the sky with his eyes and understood what Xu Zhenzhen meant. Mu Shulan was helpless and childhood sweetheart with him. After entering the door, she would only care about and love Zhao Feng and treat him as her daughter. Meng Ziqi had an elder brother outside, and this elder brother would have great prospects in the Zhao camp in the future. In this case, he would have the right to make plans and risks.

"Don't think about it randomly, and don't worry about my outside things. You are the one who really needs to take care of you now. What I can guarantee to you is very simple. After the child is born, he will not lose his father." Zhao Jin said very simply and roughly, but Xu Zhenzhen smiled happily when he said this.

When it was about to give birth, his mother He Cuihua not only asked everyone to keep it confidential, but also wanted Xu Zhenzhen to hide in another place to give birth.

"I'm gone, and they can't live even if they are mother and son. If I'm here, why bother to leave?" Zhao Jin also said it very truthfully to his mother, but the old man insisted on keeping it secret, so he had no choice but to go there.

It is said that the risk of a woman having a second child is much smaller after giving birth, but that is relatively speaking. Moreover, the weather is so hot that it is so hot that it is very troublesome to recover, and Zhao Jin can't let it go.

What is even more depressing is that Ma Chonghao's team stayed in Qingjiangpu and could not leave. Always waiting like this makes people feel irritated.

At that time, Zhao Jin was even more worried. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Meng Zhiqi, who was waiting for news, almost ran back and told Zhao Jin, who was practicing, with a smile on his face that his mistress had given birth to a son.

Because of He Cuihua's request, the news was blocked very tightly, and neither the midwife nor the maid who served him could leave the yard of the inner house. The only people who knew about this were Zhao Jin and his closest friends around him.

"This time the situation in our Zhaoziying is stable." The person who said this was Chen Huang, and the others were full of solemn and excited.

Zhao Jin wanted to make a joke, but when he saw everyone like this, he just nodded. He had never understood the importance of inheritance of offspring, but now he understands it more and more.

"I can say some things now." After giving birth to a child, Zhao Jin went to see Xu Zhenzhen, but he didn't expect Xu Zhenzhen to say such a stupid sentence.

Zhao Jin still decided on naming a name himself, and the name this time is still very simple.

"Since my sister is called Feng, then my younger brother is called Long and Zhao Long, it is convenient to shout."

This name makes the family and brothers laugh and cry. The word "Dragon" is powerful, but the bullies who are dealt with by heroes in the commentary are often this name. But it's okay to tell a joke about this kind of thing, and everyone doesn't have to say much, and Zhao Jin is used to it in this kind of thing.

No matter how confident Zhao Jin is, it is not convenient for Xu Zhenzhen and the children who have just given birth here, so there are two plans. Seeing Ma Chonghao and his people delayed in Qingjiangpu, I don’t know when it will arrive. If it can be delayed until the child is full month old, then transfer Xu Zhenzhen and a pair of children to Dangshan and cross the river to Kongjiazhuang at any time. The Xu family also has its own power on the north bank of the Yellow River, which is sufficient to be stable, but if it is launched in advance, they can only recuperate in the manor near Hejiazhuang.

On the morning of July 20, 1948, the 48th year of Wanli, the clouds in the sky were increasing, indicating the arrival of a summer rain. However, people who had been waiting for it for a long time still did not wait for the raindrops that had been missing for a long time. Although the scorching sun in the sky was slowly blocked by dark clouds, the sultry heat in the air did not decrease in half.

On the official road at the junction of Xuzhou and Pizhou, several young and strong men sat on the rocks on the side of the road, holding straw hats and fanning the air, in vain to try their best to dispel the sultry feeling. The cold boiled water in the gourd was almost drunk, and it was obvious that they had already rushed a lot.

It's strange that although these people dressed simply, they were also very innocent. They didn't look like farmers, but they didn't look like thieves with bad intentions, but they didn't look like merchants who were walking in a hurry. But the weather is not very peaceful now, and a group of people walked together in groups, which made people feel a little frustrated, so passers-by came and went in a hurry and didn't dare to stay next to them for a moment.
