Chapter Three Hundred and Eight
There was a battle last night.
Wu Nian made a sneak attack. The soldiers of Chengshan Fort suffered very few casualties. In this way, the military households would not have any grudge against him.
With the help of these veteran military households to stabilize people's hearts, Chengshan Fort can quickly stabilize.
After Wu Nian achieved his goal, he let these old military households go down. As a result, there were only four of them left in the main room.
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Long Qie, Cao Ding, and Ma Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Although Chengshan Fort is stable, you can't take it lightly."
"Repairing the city walls, training elite soldiers, and the people in the castle must all be used. Cutting down trees to make bows and arrows, forging weapons, etc."
"When the snow melts, the Meng Yuan people will definitely come back. We don't have much time."
"yes."
When the three of them heard this, they immediately let go of their worries and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Seeing this, Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction. It's still the same sentence. Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Now the generals of Fu Han are only a little stronger. In essence, they are still in their twilight years. If they are not careful, they will not be able to survive.
, so damned.
Don't take it lightly.
Wu Nian also took care of the general direction, and Long Qie, Ma Zheng, and Cao Ding naturally took care of the rest of the details.
He stayed at Chengshan Fort for three days. Then he took more than a hundred armored soldiers and embarked on the road back to Beishan Fort.
After returning to Beishan Fort, Wu Nian seemed to be sitting back and waiting for something to happen. He stayed at home, practiced martial arts every day, and basically didn't go out much.
Chen's delivery was just a few days ago. Wu Nian was born twice and became a father for the first time, so he was a little nervous.
This morning.
Wu Nian had done a set of boxing skills in the yard and was planning to continue his efforts with a set of sword skills.
With the arrival of spring, the temperature is getting higher and higher. A lot of the snow all over the mountains and plains has melted away. Wu Nian is strong and not afraid of the cold. He has already changed into spring clothes.
"General, Liu Changshi, please come over." A soldier came in from outside and bent down to report to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian was a little surprised. Ever since Liu Zhixing and Li Yong came together, everything has been on track. Especially since he was very decentralized and gave them full trust and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
It has been a long time since Liu Zhixing sent someone to look for him.
"Yes." Wu Nian's expression became serious. After nodding, he went back to the house and changed into a battle coat. Then he took his soldiers and headed to the Fuhan General's Mansion.
At present, there are about 20,000 people in Beishan Fort, which is quite crowded. When Wu Nian goes out, he will meet many people. When these people see Wu Nian, they all bend down and salute.
It's like paying homage to a king.
Wu Nian did not become distracted and kept a calm mind. After entering General Fuhan's Mansion, Wu Nian immediately went to the main room.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong had been waiting for a long time, sitting on the left and right on the Grand Master's chair. When they saw Wu Nian coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted: "General."
"We are all brothers, so there is no need to be polite." Wu Nian was still accustomed to being a gangster and was very friendly in private. After waving his hands, he came to sit down at the main seat, raised his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"This is the household register."
"The storage status of grain, grass, arrows and other materials in each city."
Liu Zhixing had a smile on his face, picked up the two pamphlets on the coffee table, stood up, walked to Wu Nian, and handed them over.
Wu Nian showed interest, reached out to take it, and lowered his head to look at it.
Prior to this, Wu Nian had planned a force of seven thousand households to guard four castles respectively. However, he had no idea how many people, food, grass, and supplies his subordinates had.
The power is really unstable and there is no time to calculate.
After these days of hard work, the population and material situation of the four castles were finally calculated.
The population list clearly states that the total population is 78,562 adult men and women. And it is tentative, because there are still people coming to seek refuge.
In other words, the population under the rule of General Fu Han was still growing slowly.
This is the population in the four castles. In the area outside the castle, the population in several mountain villages was not recorded.
There was no way. After all, Wu Nian was not a serious official in the imperial court. For these mountain villages, for the time being, he could only cooperate and collect some grain and grass.
As for the food and baggage, he was entrusted with the blessing of attacking Guangyang Mansion and capturing two cities. In addition, Chengshan Fort and Tiancheng Fort still have food reserves. At present, the food and grass in various places are quite sufficient, so there is no problem.
Wu Nian read through the pages page by page, looking at it very seriously. Finally, he closed the book, smiled at Liu Zhixing, and Li Yong and said: "Okay. Our goal has been achieved. Although our strength is still very weak.
, not as good as one percent of the Meng Yuan people. But much better than before."
"The problem now is to further expand our power while stabilizing the strength we have now."
"The snow is about to melt. The Meng Yuan people will definitely come back." When he said the last sentence, Wu Nian's expression became solemn.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing and Li Yong also looked solemn and raised their hands.
The two of them had nothing else to do, so Wu Nian waved his hand and asked them to go down to work. The power was only initially stable, and there was still a lot of work to be done.
However, Wu Nian did not leave the Fu Han General's Mansion. Instead, he sent someone to find Chen Jiagui, the Flying Monkey, and inquired about the intelligence work he was responsible for.
The main purpose was to keep an eye on the surrounding Jinhuan Mountains, Wan Yanxian, and Zhang Bu, the Mongolian and Yuan people's ten thousand generals, to see when they would launch an attack.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Intelligence collection is a top priority.
This aspect is what Chen Jiagui is good at, and he does an extremely good job. There are a large number of informants in Guangyang Mansion and Yingqing Mansion.
If there is any disturbance, the information will be gathered at Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian was very satisfied with this. After praising Chen Jiagui, he got up and left the Fuhan General's Mansion, returned to the Wu Mansion, and continued to hang around.
He is like a tiger guarding his den, waiting for his cubs to be born.
Due to medical limitations, there is no clear due date.
Wu Nian could only do this and wait, and continued to suffer from insomnia.
Just like this morning, when Wu Nian opened his eyes, the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
"Another sleepless day." Wu Nian sighed, shook his heavy head, and sat up listlessly.
Thanks to his strong body and high energy, he was not defeated despite continuous insomnia.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang slept together, but he couldn't sleep and Liu Xiang couldn't sleep either. She put on her clothes and stood up, went down to get hot water and helped Wu Nian wash up.
Although she is now an official's wife, she takes care of Wu Nian's food and daily life and does her best to do it herself if she can.
Wu Nian had just finished washing his face and planned to have breakfast.
A maid hurriedly rushed in and reported: "Master and Madam are about to give birth!!!"
"Ah?!!" Wu Nian's heart finally fell. Oh my God, I was finally going to give birth. But then his heart tightened, and he quickly threw away the cloth towel in his hand and rushed out of the room like flying.
My baby is about to be born.
Son? Daughter?
My daughter is very nice, little cotton-padded jacket.
