Chapter 256: Misfortune
Wu Nian's heart was also filled with emotion.
It’s all because of the support of the fathers and villagers, the support of the old and the young to come to join him. Otherwise, his strength would not have increased so quickly.
I remember that when he fought against Jurha, they only had 300 elite soldiers, and they relied on tunnels dug in advance to win.
Now his military power is divided into four parts, and the strength of Tieniu alone has exceeded the total strength of the army at that time.
Of course, it is no different now than it was then. Although the military strength has expanded and the equipment is better, the quality of the soldiers has actually deteriorated.
When the weather warms up, the Mongolian people will definitely take action again. The peaceful days of Beishan Fort will not last long.
Tieniu knew his strength very well. He immediately said: "There are six hundred and twenty-five people."
Wu Nian nodded, and it was similar to what he had guessed. Then the number of soldiers under the command of Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng should also be similar.
"Ask Liu Wu and Zhang Jin to allocate some troops to you. To gather the strength of a thousand households. I just asked Liu Zhixing to organize the manpower to build [Mangya Mountain City]. It is a mountain city with a scale of 20,000 people. You go
guard."
Wu Nian thought about it for a while and said.
According to Li Yong's guess, the population of Beishan Fort can increase to at least 50,000 before spring begins. Wu Nian plans to set up a force of four thousand households.
Zhang Jin, Liu Wu and Tieniu had three thousand households.
A thousand households served as his personal soldiers, commanded by Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng respectively.
In order to maintain the stability of Mangya Mountain, Tieniu's soldiers were first replenished and Tieniu was clearly arranged to defend the city.
Tieniu's eyes lit up, his face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly: "Yes."
My old man actually has a thousand households, and he is still in charge of a mountain city? It’s a special number. It’s really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves.
Tieniu just excitedly said "Green smoke is coming out of Zufeng", but in fact he knew that all this was thanks to Wu Nian.
Just because he, Li Yong and others were soldiers in the same team as Wu Nian.
He met the right person at the right time. Coupled with his own efforts, he achieved his current identity and status.
His heart was filled with gratitude.
"Don't be too happy. The city hasn't been built yet. You need to expand the army first and set up officials for hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners."
Wu Nian saw that Tieniu was a little drifting, so he poured a basin of cold water on him to cool him down.
"Yes." Tieniu landed on the ground as expected, became much calmer, and responded.
Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction and let him go down.
The civil and military affairs are all in good order, and the momentum is rising. The construction of Mangya Mountain City did not happen overnight.
Wu Nian didn't care about it and let his subordinates, civil and military, deal with it. Besides, he was getting married.
The wedding was very low-key.
This is not the past. In the past, when Wu Nian took a concubine, he also invited officials from Beishan Castle, those small flags, and the general flag to the banquet.
The scenery was beautiful, but he, Xiao Qi, and Zong Qi couldn't urinate in the same pot, so it was actually pointless to invite them to have a drink.
Besides, Wu Nian no longer needs the glory.
He himself is the most handsome boy in Beishan Fort and the most handsome Han Chinese in the entire Liaodong region.
low profile.
On the wedding day, Wu Nian only invited Liu Zhixing, six key brothers, and some important personnel to set up two banquets.
Since Wu Nian lost his parents, he let his eldest sister Wu sit in the high hall and completed the wedding ceremony.
An eldest sister is like a mother.
While waiting for the banquet, Wu Nian did not quarrel with his brothers and ran away. But when Wu Nian came to the door of Liu Xiang's room, he stopped again.
Although the door is closed, light shines through.
There were two maidservants standing on the left and right of the gate. When they saw Wu Nian, they bowed.
"General."
Wu Nian ignored them and just stared at the door in a daze.
All in all, it only took more than a year for me to travel through time. I originally wanted to raise my child bride for a few years, and then get married after she grows up.
Unexpectedly, it was still going crazy.
Wu Nian shook his head, opened the door and walked in. The wedding room was brightly lit and festively decorated. Wu Nian took a quick glance and came to the big bed.
Liu Xiang was wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab on her head, sitting upright on the bed.
Wu Nian chuckled, but saw Liu Xiang's clenched hands trembling a little, and saw that his wife was nervous.
Listening to Wu Nian's laughter, Liu Xiang became even more nervous and moved her little hands.
Liu Xiang looks like a sweet little boy, but she actually has a murderous streak. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fed arsenic to Wu Nian last year.
"Still laughing, still laughing." Liu Xiangxiang said, but Wu Nian kept laughing. He lifted his red hijab and stared at Wu Nian with a red face.
This made Wu Nian confused. He scratched his head and thought to himself, "What a fierce bride."
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian turned around and came to the table, picked up the wine flask, poured two glasses of wine, picked them up one on the left and the other on the right, and came to the bed. He said with a smile: "Xiang'er, don't you always think about following me?
Brother, do you want to sleep? After drinking a glass of wine, we can sleep in peace."
Liu Xiang lost her aggressiveness in an instant, and her face turned as red as an apple. She felt her heartbeat was beating so fast, like a war drum.
"Dong dong dong dong."
Wu Nian smiled and put the wine glass in his left hand into Liu Xiang's little hand, and drank a glass of wine with her. Then he threw the wine glass away, lowered the bed curtain, and jumped on her.
The next day.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang both stayed in bed, waiting for the sun to hit their buttocks. Then they got up, took a hot bath under the care of the maid, dressed neatly, and had breakfast together.
Although Liu Xiang often clamored to sleep with Wu Nian, it was uncomfortable to fall asleep. Soon she was helped away by the maid to catch up on her sleep.
Got married yesterday.
Wu Nian took it as a day off for himself today and would not practice martial arts for the next three days. With Liu Zhixing and Li Yong at the Fuhan General's Mansion, there was no need to worry.
When he had nothing to do, he called Zhang Zhen and Li Ya, built an earthen stove with stones, got some sweet potatoes, and roasted them.
I thought I could live a peaceful life for a few more days, but when the weather got warmer, it was time to fight against Jinhuan Mountain. Before the sweet potatoes were roasted, trouble started.
Wu Nian frowned and looked up ahead. A soldier came over holding a man in his arms. This man seemed to be a soldier, covered in blood, but he had no battle jacket or armor. His face was very poor, and he looked like he was about to die.
Looks like dead.
"Go down." Wu Nian let go of Li Ya in his arms and let Zhang Zhen take her down.
Li Ya was a little scared and hurried away. Zhang Zhen turned back three times every step of the way, looking at him curiously.
"General Wu. I am a subordinate of General Long. The general is trapped, please send troops to rescue General Wu. This is a personal letter from my general."
After seeing Wu Nian, the man seemed to have taken a big tonic. He instantly became energetic. He pushed away Wu Nian's soldiers, knelt on the ground, took out a blood-stained letter from his arms, and raised it above his head.
