Winter is harsh and everything is dormant.

Around Haitian City, the fertile land was covered with frost. Han army camps stood up one after another.

Countless soldiers were scattered inside and outside the city. The city was under martial law, and there were soldiers wearing armor and holding spears everywhere. People were not allowed to go out without any reason, and they were not allowed to leave the village.

But sometimes, the law is not always strictly enforced.

morning.

Wu Nian led two guards from ten thousand households to Haitian City.

The flags with the word "Han" are connected from front to back, there are countless people and horses, and the momentum is great. Wu Nian was sitting in the carriage, leaning on the carriage and taking a nap.

He was wrapped in a bearskin blanket, and a charcoal stove was placed in front of him. The heat emitted by the charcoal stove made Luanyu feel as warm as spring.

Although Wu Nian kept saying that he was not convinced by old age, he turned from prosperity to decline when he was over thirty. His energy was not as strong as when he was in his twenties.

The bumpy mountain road and the fatigue of the carriage and horse made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty."

Suddenly, someone outside Luan Yu called.

"What happened?" Wu Nian asked.

"There are people driving pigs and sheep, carrying rice and wine, to work for the army." The imperial guard outside Luan Yu said respectfully on horseback.

There was a smile in Wu Nian's eyes. Since the annexation of Goguryeo, he has not resorted to militarism. The money and grain produced by Goguryeo has greatly alleviated the pressure on the people of Liaodong.

Every family of the people became rich.

Along the way, his army marched northward and encountered situations like this countless times. The people ate pots of slurry to welcome the army.

Whenever this happens, Wu Nian will straighten his clothes and thank the people personally. This time is no exception. Wu Nian said: "Stop the army. Let the driver drive the carriage, and I will go and see them."

"Yes." The Ouchi guards responded and rode down. Soon after, the army stopped, and Luan Yu came out alone, surrounded by many Ouchi guards, and came to the side.

Wu Nian, who was in the Luan Yu, straightened his clothes, stepped on the small bench with a serious look on his face, stepped out of the Luan Yu, and looked at the people in front of him.

The leader was a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair. He was wearing very ordinary and patched clothes. His family was probably not very wealthy.

The rest of the people were similar. But they brought ten carts of grain, two carts of rice wine, and fifty pigs and sheep.

Loot the property and come to work for the army.

"Meet the King."

When the middle-aged and elderly men at the head saw Wu Nian's dress, they knew that the King of Han was coming in person. They couldn't help but get excited and led everyone to kneel down to greet him.

"Excuse me, everyone." Wu Nian was afraid of scaring others, so he used his hands to help everyone get up.

"Old man, who's your name? Where do you live?" Wu Nian said kindly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I am from Zhuli Village. My surname is Zhu and my name is Yuanchun. These are my fellow villagers." Zhu Yuanchun answered calmly and handed over his hands.

"Has the old man read books?" Wu Nian saw something and asked with a smile.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I was once a scholar of Chu State." Zhu Yuanchun said calmly, holding his hands.

"It turns out that you are a scholar. No wonder he is different." Wu Nian smiled and praised, then raised his hands and said: "I am marching to the north. Sir, I can lead the villagers and folks to come to work. I thank you sir."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. It's just like what Your Majesty said. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Important ministers of the court, civil and military officials contribute a lot. A small person's contribution is nothing."

Zhu Yuanchun waved his hand and said quickly.

"Okay. That's good." Wu Nian nodded heavily. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. These words were indeed said by himself.

It has now spread.

Nationalism has become very popular in Liaodong.

Yan Han.

Yan Han.

Immediately, Wu Nian and Zhu Yuanchun started chatting.

"Old sir, are you still concentrating on studying now?" Wu Nian asked.

"I don't study anymore. I'm old. I can't take part in the imperial examination, and I can't serve the king anymore." Zhu Yuanchun had a look of regret on his face and shook his head.

Of course he studied to get ahead, and he was still confident before. However, in the more than ten years since the Mongolian Yuan invasion of Liaodong, the situation has been turbulent.

He didn't study hard anymore. Now the Han Dynasty was established.

King Ming is on the throne.

He wants to serve the country, but his hair is already gray. Let alone failing to pass the exam, what's the use of even being a top scorer in high school?

What a pity.

But soon, Zhu Yuanchun became excited and said to Wu Nian: "Your Majesty, the villain built a private school in the village to teach the children in the village to read. The villain can no longer serve the king, but the villain hopes to cultivate

Talented people serve the king."

Wu Nian nodded and said: "Okay, okay. Scholars are the future of the country. If you can care about the country, you are really a virtuous man."

This can be regarded as a disguised form of private visit incognito.

Along the way, Wu Nian walked out of the palace, left the splendid wealth, and got closer to the people. The more he learned, the happier he became.

The environment is really nice.

A passionate reader.

A hero who served the country by joining the army.

Even the illiterate people know the national justice.

The Han Dynasty was not only strong in national power, but also exuded vitality. Well, it was great.

Wu Nian smiled and talked a lot with Zhu Yuanchun, and asked someone to bring Goguryeo royal wine, and drank a glass with Zhu Yuanchun. He asked the Ouchi guards to accept the supplies, and then watched Zhu Yuanchun go.

Wu Nian then boarded the Luanyu again, and the large group of troops continued to march towards Haitian City.

Wu Nian did not let Wei Ru and others go out of the city to greet them. Instead, he led his troops directly into the city. Under the guidance of the leader, he led some of the imperial guards and arrived in the city, where Wei Ru had prepared a large house in advance.

The door of the mansion.

Wei Ru, together with the generals, as well as Huanglong Magistrate, Haitian County Magistrate and other civil servants, welcomed the king. After the meeting, Wu Nian first comforted the irrelevant civil servants and then sent them away. He, Wei Ru and other generals entered together

He went to the main hall of the mansion and sat down.

The Ouchi guard who checked in early brought the wild mountain tea from Beishan Castle. Wu Nian picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said to everyone: "It still tastes the same."

Among the generals, someone smiled knowingly.

Some people don't know why.

This tea from Beishanpu is still the tea from Beishanpu.

But the current situation in Liaodong is completely different.

Only Li Yunchong, Zhao Mancheng and others were confused.

"General Wei, what is the layout of the Meng Yuan people now?" Wu Nian put down the tea cup, raised his head and asked Wei Ru.

"Report to your Majesty. The layout of the Meng Yuan people is the same as before. There are six cities in Huanglong Mansion. They moved all the people into the city, and then each of the five ten thousand households guarded one city. The other five ten thousand households guarded Anding City."

Wei Ru replied.

"Well. It seems that the Meng Yuan people are determined to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged. The DPRK and China have discussed it before. If we attack by force."

"It takes at least two soldiers of ten thousand households to bulldoze a city."

"By the time we reach Anding City, our troops and horses will have been exhausted."

Although Wu Nian said this, there was a smile in his eyes.

art of war.

Attacking the city is the next step.

The enemy is defending the city, so lure them into battle.

The key to this battle.

In fact, it was on the Sushun side.

"Send the order. The army will stay still and wait for the opportunity." Wu Nian said.
