Due to the arrival of the uninvited guests, several men went to the front office to discuss matters, but only a few women stayed in the hall of the back office to watch the New Year.
After a while, Asha went to treat Nie Zhongyu's wounds and then came back. Yan Yunyun asked, "Will there be war in Xu, Lu?"
She had just drilled more than 30 salt wells a year ago, hired hundreds of refugee households from western Sichuan to make private salt, and was preparing to start business in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. She was extremely anxious.
"Didn't listen."
Asha Yao seemed to have experienced the fun of New Year's Eve dinner and asked: "Guess the riddle?"
"No guess." Yan Yunyun pinched his fingers, fearing that if he failed this year, he would lose his position next year.
She had always been worried that Li Xia had chosen her as a girl when no one was available. Now that the Li family and the Yang family have children, she will be replaced at any time...
Gao Mingyue thought for a while and decided to show off her mistress-like attitude and said: "You are a little too nervous. There is no need to be like this. Let's continue with the business riddle just now."
She has now pulled up her hair, and her speech no longer resembles that of a little girl before...
Yan Yunyun was taken aback, but somehow he calmed down, stroking the hair beside his ears, and said with a smile: "Yes, then I will come up with a riddle to attract others... I will bow down and reflect on myself for the rest of my life."
This word puzzle also means that she is expressing her feelings to Gao Mingyue, indicating that she will reflect on herself and no longer be so nervous.
"But the word 'Zhang'?"
"yes."
"Sister Gao is so awesome." Han Qiaoer smiled and said, "If there's another one, I'll guess too."
Liu Susu smiled and said: "I will punish you with a drink first and then talk about it..."
In the former government office, Han Qian has found the map.
"Our army is not unprepared. The Di newspaper sent out a few months ago reminded various places to pay attention to defense during the New Year. On the Lu side, Zhang Shi and Zhang Dutong will fight against Niulin, and Zhu Xu, Sun Zhu will appease envoys to deal with money and food."
Nie Zhongyou just wrapped up his wounds and said: "Tanma got the news that Wang Dechen supported Niulin with 10,000 troops..."
"Let's talk about changing clothes." Li Xia dug out two pieces of clothing and threw them to Nie Zhongyou and Lin Zi, "How could the wound you sustained more than ten days ago still open?"
Lin Zi took it and said: "I also think it's strange that Brother Nie's injury never heals."
"Don't worry, the flesh wound is not deep."
Li Xia shook his head and said: "The blood coagulation function is poor. I'm afraid you injured your liver last year... oh, the year before last, those arrows in Longhu."
Hao Xiuyang was not interested in the war, but he was very curious about this matter and asked: "What is coagulation function?"
Li Xia has always liked fitness and health care, saying: "The speed of blood coagulation and self-healing ability are related to the liver, so sleep is very important to give the liver a rest. Exercise is also very important, as it can make up for the damage caused to the body by lack of sleep.
"
Hao Xiuyang laughed and said: "It's amazing that you can maintain your health in such a young age. It's amazing. You have the qualifications of my Taoist sect. But why do you say that the liver and blood are related..."
Han Qi'an turned his head and looked, with some understanding in his eyes.
He could see that Li Xia had anticipated this year's war and was not nervous, so he did not rush to ask about the war but talked about other things.
Unfortunately, although Hao Xiuyang was interested, Nie Zhongyou was indifferent to these and said with a smile: "If a man suffers a small injury, it won't be the fault of my mother-in-law."
"That's different. For example, Muru and I sleep deeply and move a lot, so our bodies are in good shape. You are different. You have to be careful not to get hurt easily again."
Li Xia was actually explaining to Nie Zhongyu quite seriously, rather than just chatting casually.
"Okay." Nie Zhongyou put on his clothes and said, "Let's continue. After the Battle of Chengdu, Pu Shuai saw that Chengdu was in ruins and Jianmen Pass was not in hand, so he had to slowly retreat to Chongqing Mansion to rest, but at the same time he also sent troops to Kuzhu Pass
, Dahuo City.”
He pointed on the map.
Kuzhu Pass is located on Xiaojian Mountain to the southwest of Jianmen Pass. It is also a mountain city like Lingxiao City, but the area on the top of the mountain is much smaller and there are not many troops stationed there. There are only a few hundred people and it is self-sufficient.
Dahuo City is located on Dahuo Mountain in the southeast of Jianmen Pass. It is also a dangerous mountain and is one of the Eight Pillars in the Sichuan.
These two mountain cities, one on the left and one on the right, are stuck on the road from Jianmenguan to Sichuan. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Over the years, the Mongolian army destroyed the city and destroyed the land, but they have never been able to capture them.
Unfortunately, Kuzhu Pass had too few troops to block the Mongolian army. It could only be used as a nail in the rear.
"This time, Wang Dechen went crazy and stormed Kuzhu Pass and captured the city. The reinforcements sent by Pu Shuai were blocked at the mouth of the Jialing River, so he sent our Suining Army to reinforce them, but they were also blocked."
Han Qian said: "The Mongolian army will conquer Kuzhu Pass and seize the city regardless of casualties?"
Li Xia has been to Yunding City and Lingxiao City, and knows how dangerous this kind of mountain city is. No matter how heavy the price paid, the Mongolian army may not be able to capture it.
"Obviously, the Mongolian army will make big moves this year."
Nie Zhongyou said: "Pu Shuai thought so too, and sent a spy horse to inquire about the situation of the Mongolian army. Sure enough, he found that Niulin was building ships in the Minjiang River after he took control of Chengdu."
Li Yong said: "The natural chasm of the Yangtze River is here. Xuzhou City and Luzhou Divine Arm City are both easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Mongolian army will definitely not be able to attack the city. Should the target be Chongqing Prefecture?"
Han Qian raised his pen to mark, and the Mongolian army's offensive gradually formed a line and surrounded Sichuan and Shu.
"Unlike previous years, this year it seems that we are not going to put pressure on the Sichuan-Sichuan defense line... we have the intention to capture Sichuan-Sichuan..."
Li Xia stood up and lit two more candles, listened to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and thought for a while.
"Brother Meng is going to fight in person." He suddenly said.
"What?"
"No way?"
"How can Alang be so sure?"
Li Xia first pointed to Chengdu on the map and said: "Last year in the battle of Chengdu, Niulin was defeated. He did not have the golden talisman of the marshal of the capital. When Abgan died, he could not command the troops and had to retreat to Lizhou.
Now he is preparing to attack Syria and Lu, which means that he has received the appointment from Meng Ge. And he is in a hurry, too urgent."
He said and pointed to Kuzhu Pass.
"There are only a few hundred troops stationed at Kuzhu Pass. Why did Wang Dechen go out of his way and insist on taking it? Is he afraid that these hundreds of people will invade the grain line after the Mongolian army enters Sichuan? No."
Li Xia's tone became more and more certain, and he said: "Only if Brother Meng comes in person, Wang Dechen will have to take Kuzhu Pass. If a Mongolian Khan personally conquers, how can he be unworthy if he can't even capture such a small village?"
Li Yong always felt that Li Xia was too arbitrary.
He couldn't tell. He just felt that the inference sounded reasonable, but the reasons seemed to not lead to such a conclusion...
But everyone else was convinced and each of them pondered.
Nie Zhongyou's eyes were bright and he said: "Feiyu should be in Commander Pu's army. If Commander Pu has you to help him in this battle..."
Li Xia didn't listen to what he said. His eyes fell on the map, thinking differently from Nie Zhongyou.
The so-called "crisis" means that others only see danger in some things, but he is considering the opportunities contained in them.
"First, we have to defeat Niulin and protect Shunan from being affected by the war..."
Jiang Fan then changed his clothes, put the dagger in his pocket, and said to his two men, "Have you put all the rewards back home?"
"yes."
These two men were different from those who inquired about information during the day. They were silent and dull. They just grinned and expressed that they were satisfied with the reward for going out to do errands on New Year's Eve.
"The boat is hired."
"Let's go to Xuzhou City to deliver New Year's goods..."
Jiang Fan was a little excited, thinking that tomorrow was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he would do it early in the morning, which would obviously be a different deterrent to those profiteers in Xuzhou.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw a petty official running quickly.
"Boss Jiang, the county magistrate calls you over."
"That's it." Although Jiang Fan was confused, his face remained calm.
This is what Li Xia taught him. Sometimes a small emotion like doubt can affect many things.
Jiang Fan learned very well. He only failed to hold his nerve in front of a few people.
He walked quickly all the way to the county government office, and rushed to pay Li Xia New Year greetings.
"Magistrate, don't you need to kill the salt merchant?"
"Things have changed. This is not the only one who wants to be killed... Just sit down and wait for Mr. Han's arrangements."
"yes."
Li Xia stood up and said to Han Qi'an: "Thanks to Mr. Yi Ning, I will take General Nie to the camp to meet his old friend."
This year, there are still many soldiers in the Qingfu Army who have not been able to go home. The school grounds are brightly lit and a stage has been set up, on which "Speaking of Yue" is being sung.
This play was compiled by Li Xia based on the storyteller's story. In addition, there are many new plays. The reason why this play was shown first is because Han Chengxu, Yang Guo and others will come over later, and they are worried about their emotions.
.
Liu Jinsuo was sitting in the crowd, eating melon seeds, watching a show and bragging. Suddenly he heard someone shouting, "The magistrate is here", and he jumped up suddenly.
"The magistrate is here so early? Get out of the way, I'll go meet you... Stand at attention!"
With a loud shout, the crowd seemed to be blasted into a passage. Liu Jinsuo laughed loudly and strode away, and soon there was another cheer.
"County magistrate! Hey...Brother Nie! Linzi!"
Nie Zhongyou was violently hugged by a bear. The wounds on his body hurt badly, but he laughed and said, "I haven't seen you Liu Mangfu for a long time. You have grown a lot stronger."
"Brother, you've embarrassed me. The magistrate never takes me with him in battles, otherwise I should have seen you last time... No, what the hell, come and watch the show."
"No hurry, where is Yang Ben? Is he recovered from his injury?"
"Brother actually knows this stinky face. He will come on stage to sing "Yang Ling Gong" and we will sit over there and watch."
Nie Zhongyou said: "I've just met you. Let's go and have a look in the camp. We'll leave tonight."
"Leaving tonight? How can that be possible..."
"I came here to congratulate Feiyu." Nie Zhongyou patted Liu Jinsuo's shoulder solemnly and said, "Listen carefully to what the county magistrate says. Don't worry about not having a fight."
Liu Jinsuo was so disappointed that he agreed honestly.
Li Xia took them around the school grounds and talked, meeting some of his comrades who fought side by side in the First World War in Chengdu. Seeing that it was getting late, Nie Zhongyou stopped and held his hands.
"I still have to rush back to the Suining Army, so I'm leaving now. See you someday."
"Well, I found a boat. You guys can rest on the boat overnight and then ride on horseback when you reach the other side of the Yangtze River tomorrow..."
Nie Zhongyou came over this time just to congratulate Li Xia. After meeting him once, he left. He and Lin Zi boarded the boat at the small dock next to the camp.
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
As the boat went down the river, the drama coming from the military camp could be heard in the distance.
"The heroes of the two rivers are on standby. Fu Yanyun is not just the Yue family's lone army. The righteous army will win in the end. Why should a hero be filled with tears? Quan is like a snowstorm and he immediately drinks the yellow dragon..."
