The spring light is getting more and more charming, and the shallow stream is gurgling down.

Xu Huai's long sword was in his hand, and it was like a evil dragon entangled and stalked, and it was like a flying flower. Its cyclone was shooting up and down, densely like a strong wind, and the waves were surging, which made Niu Er hold the shield in his left hand and the mace in his right hand, and he struggled to resist it. He sweated like slurry, but he never had the chance to fight back.

A ox cart was coming over the gravel road. Seeing Shi Zhen get off the ox cart, Xu Huai put his sword and turned back to the sheath, enjoying Liu Qiong'er coming over to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead with a sweat towel. Seeing Niu Er so tired that he was breathing like a ox, he smiled and said, "Your shield mace combination technique needs to be tempered well. Advance and retreat are very dragging, and in the eyes of the strong, they are all flaws..."

"Hu Gou killed the south and the north for so many years, but there were not many strong people!" Niu Er supported the shield mace aside and said gasping.

"Master Niu, I'll give you a trick!" Su Zun said excitedly from the side.

"Go, what kind of fun are you? If you don't waste your energy on the side, go to play, unless you find Xu Yan," Niu Er pushed Su Zu away with disgust.

In the battle under Linying City, Niu Er finally tasted the taste of charging into the formation. He scored twenty-one heads in the left wing step formation with a sharp iron mace and killed seven enemy horses. His combat achievements were amazing.

Inspired by this, Niu Er has been obsessed with the technique of shield mace combined attack for the past two months.

However, Niu Er practiced martial arts in the field. The denser the array, the less he needed to be distracted. His divine power was fully displayed on an iron mace, and his combat power was extremely violent.

Xu Huai and Wang Ju asked Niu Er to feed Niu Er, and they all tried to sharpen the power of facing the attack. Even if Niu Er was so tired that he sweated like a slurry, he felt refreshed and extremely happy.

Su Chong is a good player among the younger generation, but how can he eat cheaply from Niu Er when facing the front?

Every time he competes with Niu Er, he always fights with his light footwork.

Niu Er suffered losses twice, but he no longer wanted to ask Su Chong for help.

Now, only Wang Xian, Xu Yan and others can put some pressure on Niu Er in the front-line attack.

"The battlefield changes rapidly, and you must adapt to the art of fighting!

Xu Huai sent Niu Er to the side and went to practice with Su Zun and others. He and Shi Zhen sat down at the stone table by the stream and asked,

"His Majesty set out from Xiangyang?"

"You're leaving," Shi Zhen took out the edict and letters of Zheng Tu from Xiangyang that was urgently sent back, and said, "Your Majesty officially issued an order before leaving, and asked Chen Tai to take charge of the three departments, and also transferred Wang Boqian to Jianye to replace Wen Shuai to lead the Imperial Camp to provide some military affairs..."

"Is it impossible for the imperial court to pick someone who can be attracted to?" Liu Qiong'er asked in surprise.

Before the Chihu people invaded the south for the second time, only a few ministers in the court, including Liu Renmao, the head of the Privy Council, firmly took charge of the war. Wang Qiyong stepped down at the wilderness and stayed at home at that time, and Wang Boqian, Liang Fuzhong, Yan Shiyong and others sent ministers to control the court.

They were delusional to reach peace with the Chihu people and then set up a river to govern.

Not only did they not actively prepare for the war, they were even worried that the king would be irritated by the soldiers and horses who rushed to the emperor and encouraged Emperor Tianxuan to issue an edict to prohibit the king from being in charge of the king and the troops entering Beijing for reinforcements.

Afterwards, Wang Boqian, Liang Fuzhong, Yan Shiyong and others crossed the Yellow River and traveled

It is said that the defenders of Zhucheng on the north bank of the Yellow River surrendered to the Chihu people.

After Liang Fuzhong shot and killed the angry Weizhou defenders, Wang Boqian, Yan Shiyong and others fled to the Huai King Zhao Guan in a hurry, thus avoiding the fall of Bianliang.

Liu Qiong'er could hardly imagine that the court would eventually choose Wang Boqian to replace Wen Hengyue in charge of military affairs in the Imperial Camp.

"The court also has difficulties for the court," Shi Zhen sighed and said, "In addition to practicing the naval army, the most important thing is to strengthen the defense of Luyang and other places along the north bank of the river, and to increase the defense depth of the two routes of Huainan. In addition to relying on each other and facing each other across the river, the 200,000 troops in the Jianghuai Palace occupy half. If the Huainan Palace army has always been obeying the tune but not the Xuan, it will never be the same. The court really wants the Huainan Palace to let go of its guard and make the military and political unity of the Jianghuai government unify it. It is far from enough to just transfer Wang Boqian to Jianye to take over the Imperial Camp Department to provide some military affairs..."

Xu Huai looked at Qianxi Qingliu with a knife, reached out and scratched his cheeks, and said, "Your Majesty has difficulties, so we can't help much. Let's concentrate on doing our own business."

Emperor Jianji wanted to integrate the two routes of Huainan into the jurisdiction of the court and integrate the Huainan defense line into the unified military and political system of the court. This was far from simply a single edict to recall King Zhao Guan of Huainan back to Jianye.

If you want King Huai Zhao Guan to go to Jianye with confidence and boldness, you can't just say that King Huai Zhao Guan feels that his crown prince is really stable. The most direct way is to let the court have a force of the Huai Palace, and it cannot be too weak.

Wang Boqian replaced Wen Heng                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

"Although I can understand that Your Majesty sometimes has to make some compromises and concessions, Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue took office, and only the Prime Minister, Zhu Langjun and Qian Langjun were already weak enough to stay in the court. In the future, the soft-elf-general officials from the Huai Palace were summoned to Jianye to take important positions. The situation was even more unbearable," Liu Qiong'er frowned and said, "This time, Your Majesty was able to stand against the crowd and commanded the emperor personally. He thought that Your Majesty had a wise and powerful posture and could make things easier in the future-it seems to be too simple now."

"It's difficult. Everyone saw it in their eyes. They said, 'The ice is three feet long, not a day's cold. On the other hand, 'Three feet of ice cannot be solved overnight'," Xu Huai stood up and stretched his arms and smiled, "But to say it's simple, the enemy's soldiers can't step into the Huai step by step? Let's take a step by step..."

Two months have passed since the end of the Ruying Battle, and the rivers and rivers such as Ruying have also thawed one after another around the Shangyuan Festival.

There is no need to wait until the rainy season. After the thawing, the Hehuai land itself absorbs a large amount of melting ice and snow, and the livestock and war horses will trample over it, and it will become muddy; major rivers such as Yingshui, Han River, and Lishui will be difficult to wade directly without the help of boat bridges.

Under such circumstances, the enemy cavalry that were harassing along the Rushui coast also retreated to the north of the Yingshui River.

The barbarians failed to stop the construction of Zhaoling New City and the Long Dynasty of the Junshui River. Yuehailou did not have enough resources in Wanqiu to strengthen the Long Dynasty on both sides of the Yingshui River to ensure that there will be no large-scale flooding after the waters such as the Junli River are introduced into the Yingshui River.

The surrendered army in the west of Beijing was miserable in Ruying

After the defeat, tens of thousands of civilians were urgently requisitioned in Wanqiu, Xiangcheng and other places, and only repaired the embankment on the north bank of the Yingshui River. It was obvious that Yuehailou could only think that after the flood season, there would be no major flood disasters north of the Yingshui River, and there would be a chance to restore farming production.

Whether there will be floods between Ruying is beyond the reach of Yuehai Tower at this time.

All these mean that before winter, Huai Shang will usher in a rare opportunity to recuperate.

In fact, in the next three to five years, or before Yuehailou can truly manage the Yingshui River, the Chihu people will only have the opportunity to use troops to the Huai River during the short period of the river and Huai River in winter.

The period of ice in rivers such as Ruying is usually only a little longer than a month.

In such a short time, even if the Chihu people gathered 100,000 elite cavalry to come, Xu Huai was not afraid; Chu Shan only needed to do a good job of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields before winter.

This also means that the strategic focus of the Chihu people will be forced to transfer to Huainan - this is also the key reason why the imperial court is urgently trying to reconcile and integrate the Huainan Palace. Huainan needs to be more fully prepared before this winter.

Shi Zhen also talked about the spring plowing matters that the prefecture yamen was actively promoting at this time.

The area under the Chushan Camp has more than doubled, but the population has increased very limitedly. People in Shangcai, Xincai and other places fled early and took over Wuyang, Yexian, Xiangcheng and other places in the western front, with a total of only 20,000 to 30,000 residents. At this time, the total number of military and civilians in Chushan was only more than 500,000.

However, a large number of animals were seized from the Ruying Victory, including more than 10,000 large animals such as ordinary horses, cattle, mules, etc.

This was Yuehailou gathering troops on the south bank of Yingshui and urgently asked for help from Chihu people to replenish the food and fodder gap. In the end, a considerable number of them were not consumed and fell into Chushan's hands.

These large animals will greatly make up for the shortage of Chushan's spring farming labor force.

Shi Zhen initially estimated that if there are these animals, the spring plowing of this batch of animals will restore at least 200,000 mu of grain fields to cultivate at least 200,000 mu more than last year; and this year's construction of villages will mainly be concentrated between Suiping City and Dengtaijia Mountain, and Queshan City and Jinding Mountain.

A lot of this work was promoted by Shi Zhen, Su Laochang and others.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians from the Southern League, in addition to the rebel army, Guiyi army generals and soldiers and family members, there were also quite a lot of people from Hehuai who could not bear the invasion and oppression of the barbarians. There were also many gentry in the local area and officials who had not had time to retreat south and hid in the countryside.

A considerable number of them, especially those who had official positions before the fall of Bianliang, sent or had fame, naturally chose to go to Xiangyang, Jianye and other candidates.

However, many local clerks and gentry who were in a mess and did not have enough money and fame. Even if they continued to move south, their situation might not be much better than refugees. More than a hundred of them were in Shi Zhen and Su Laochang lobbying and decided to take their family to stay in Chushan.

This also made up for the shortcomings of Chushan’s civil servants to a considerable extent.

Of course, according to Chushan's customization, these people first concentrated in the provincial school to conduct a short-term training, and then assigned to various township departments to start with grassroots affairs.
