Wu, Wang Ruyan, and Xiaohong were all stunned for a moment. Although they knew that their fiancée would definitely become his wife, this was too sudden.

They looked at Wu Nian who was sitting upright with a serious face. But they all knew that the matter was settled.

The general's idea is very right.

Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, she used to treat Liu Xiang as her eldest sister. But Wu's eyes were red, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped it, and nodded slowly: "Okay, okay."

There are no elders or relatives in the Wu family. She is determined to do this.

Although the Wu family is now thin, it still has roots. As long as this little brother is still here, the Wu family can flourish.

My parents, who are still in heaven, will also feel gratified.

"Sister, this is a happy event, why are you crying?" Wu Nian looked at Wu and said with a smile.

"Yeah. Don't cry, don't cry." Mrs. Wu looked apologetic and nodded.

This matter is settled.

Let the eldest sister take care of it.

Wu Nian went back to his room to sit for a while and take a walk before going to practice martial arts.

Boxing, kicking, swordsmanship, punching, and body beating.

The whole morning passed like this.

During this period, Liu Xiang came over to take a look. Wu might have told her. Wu Nian said hello, and Liu Xiang ran away with a blushing face.

During lunch, Liu Xiang's face was also red. Seeing how shy she was, Wu Nian wanted to tease her, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Wu Nian had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he felt a little panicked and went to the Fuhan General's Mansion.

This center of power, which Wu Nian used to "order" the entire Liaodong, was small and pitiful. However, the number of people gradually increased.

Not to mention the soldiers guarding the gate and standing guard, there are also many petty officials coming in and out.

"General."

"General."

They were not like the court of Chu State, which did not recognize Wu Nian. After every petty official saw Wu Nian, no matter how busy they were, they would get out of the way, and then bend down to salute respectfully.

Wu Nian's prestige was not given by the imperial court.

What prestige does a small flag officer have?

His prestige was truly earned. Although in Jinhuan Mountain, Zhang Bu believed that Wu Nian was despicable and a villain who did not fight head-on.

But from the perspective of Beishanbao, our general is resourceful and wise.

It's a matter of angle.

In this general's mansion, the chief historian, meritorious officers, and Sima all have separate offices. Currently, only Sima's office is open.

Wu Nian walked naturally to Li Yong's office.

Poor Lao Li was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor. The official documents on his desk were piled high. He was lying on his desk again, and he could hardly be seen.

"Sir General." Li Yong raised his head when he heard the movement, revealing a thin face.

Wu Nian felt a little distressed after seeing it.

Before this, Lao Li was only literate, and even half-understood official documents. Now that he is taking the lead, it is really difficult for him.

But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't find the right person.

"Take a rest and drink some water." Wu Nian quickly asked a soldier to get some water, and then said to Li Yong.

"Okay." Li Yong showed an ugly smile and nodded.

The two people left the room filled with official documents, went to a small room next to it, and sat down to drink tea.

Li Yong felt relaxed all over as if he had escaped from a devil's cave.

"Old Li, how many people are there in Beishan Fort now? How is the food situation?" Although he wanted to let Li Yong relax, the conversation still couldn't avoid work. Wu Nian took a few sips of tea and couldn't help but ask.

.

"There are 32,000 people. There are still people coming one after another. I think there will be at least 50,000 people before spring. As for food, they have brought some rations themselves. At present, I have organized officials to go to the mountain villages to collect food.

, but it’s not ideal. Although we are fighting against the Mongolians, the mountain people also treasure food. We are not a government yet." Li Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The strategy set by Wu Nian brought peace and harmony between the army and the people.

But it is also a big problem to gain the trust of the mountain people and get them to take out the food obediently.

Now that Beishan Fort has a large population, it should be put on the agenda to build a mountain fort on Mangya Mountain and send some people there.

It was really tiring to have all these things happen to him alone.

Wu Nian nodded. There are still some differences between theory and actual operation. Military and civilian affairs are not just talk.

This is a grind, so you have to take your time.

However, Lao Li said it was not ideal, but it seemed that there was an ideal place, and there were mountain people who were willing to hand over food supplies. In addition to the people who came to seek refuge, some people brought food rations.

It seems okay for the time being, but it will definitely be ruined in the long run.

Special code.

How can we find talented people to help with administrative work? Why is it so difficult?

Looking at those people in history, it was easy to acquire talents.

Han Gaozu and Xiao He were from the same county.

It seems easy for Cao Cao to obtain Xun Yu.

When Sun Ce crossed the river, he had two of them.

I posted a notice to reward talents, but I got nothing?

Really annoying.

Just when Wu Nian was worried.

There was a team of more than a hundred people, walking from south to north, heading towards the Beishan Fort.

Because of the war, there were a lot fewer bandits on the mountain. They were not fools, and they all knew that Wu Nian and the Meng Yuan people were not easy to mess with.

Some bandits moved, and some simply pretended to be refugees and fled south.

But even so, there are still some bandits out there.

This group of people looked very organized. Some were riding horses, some were on foot, there were carts, there were baggage, and there were five people wearing armor. They were not just ordinary people.

There are no bandits to try to take advantage of them.

However, walking on mountain roads in winter is not easy, and the people in the team are more or less embarrassed.

In the center of the team, there were two men in armor, riding strong horses, walking side by side.

One man was older, about forty years old, a bit fierce-looking, tall and powerful, with a sword on his waist and a bow and arrow hanging on the back of his horse.

The man was in his early twenties, handsome, fair-skinned, tall, a little thin, but not weak. He could barely hold up his armor. He had no sword or bow.

The two men are nearly twenty years apart, but they are brothers and are from Hushan County, Liaodong.

My elder brother is Liu Tong and my younger brother is Liu Zhixing.

Liu Tong was proficient in civil and military affairs and was responsible for the use of force.

Liu Zhixing was a scholar. These more than 100 people were either domestic slaves of the Liu family or their brothers. In the carriage were female relatives, old and weak.

"Second brother, I don't think there is anything wrong with attacking the Mongolians. But this man named Wu Nian was unknown before. Since the Mongols spread the plague, he has become famous. This time he killed four Mongolians.

Captain Yuan Qian killed nearly five thousand Mongolian soldiers."

"I think it's an exaggeration. If he said he killed a thousand captains and beheaded a thousand people, I would have believed him."

Liu Tong held the horse's rein, looked up and looked in the direction of Beishan Fort, and said sadly. Although he is the eldest brother, he is not as smart as his younger brother.

When the Mongolian people went south, he originally planned to leave via Shanhaiguan.

The younger brother asked him to wait a little longer. There was chaos on the road and there was a high chance of something happening. It would be better to wait until the situation stabilizes and then take a look at the situation.

Sure enough, the road from Liaodong to Shanhaiguan was really miserable.

Now the situation is better. His younger brother asked him to go north again and take his clan members to join Wu Nian in Beishan Fort.

Although he agreed, he actually felt guilty.

The closer you get to Beishan Fort, the more empty it becomes.
