A bitter cold wind whistled and blew to the tent from time to time. The soldiers standing guard, even if they were tightly wrapped, their lips were frozen purple.

Tie Kui opened the tent and walked in, and the heat rushed to his face. Tie Kui took off the big gun outside and shouted to the person who was in front of the brazier: "General, are you looking for me?" Qiu Dashan is the main general, and Tie Kui is the deputy general.

Qiu Dashan beckoned and said, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, and I miss it a little." Let's have a good time later. "The hot pot is both heartwarming and enjoyable.

Tie Kui asked with some regret, "It's a pity that there are no burning knives here, if there is, it would be better." "It's okay to come to Fuyang to eat, but the eating habits are different from them.

As he was talking, another lieutenant, Zhang Xingrong, opened the curtain and walked in. Zhang Xingrong rubbed his hands and said, "This ghost weather is really cold." "Although the snow here is not heavy, and the temperature is not as low as in Liaodong, the cold wind blows on the body as if it has pierced the bones, and it is so cold that people shiver.

I ran to the brazier and roasted it for a while before it warmed up. Zhang Xingrong said: "General, no matter how cold it is, the soldiers can't stand it. ”

Qiu Dashan said: "This is the south, the climate is different from the north, and it is normal for the soldiers to be uncomfortable for a while. "It's good to get used to being cold for a few days. It is also the good physical fitness of the soldiers, otherwise it would not be a small number of people who fell.

Zhang Xingrong couldn't help but scolded: "I've always heard that Yun Qing's strong generals are like clouds, and I thought that I could fight happily here, but I didn't expect this Du Zheng to be a turtle with a shrunken head." "Du Zheng only defended the city, and did not lead the troops out of the city to meet the battle.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "Du Zheng just obeyed orders. "Du Zheng didn't fight, it must have been ordered by Yunqing. As a general, you must obey military orders.

What Zhang Xingrong said just now was just angry words, and he naturally knew that Du Zheng was not afraid of them if he did not send troops: "General, there is no way to stiffen like this! You can't let us help them guard Fuyang all the time, right?"

Qiu Dashan said: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi are ambitious, they will not give up this piece of fat in Jiangnan. The big war, it should be after the beginning of spring. ”

Tie Kui said worriedly: "I don't know if Yunqing will come to Luozhou to personally supervise the battle next year? If he comes in person, this battle will be a little difficult." "Yunqing is famous, and there are very few people who can compare with him today.

Zhang Xingrong said unhappily: "General Tie, don't let others be angry and destroy your prestige. "Yunqing is powerful, but they are not vegetarians.

Tie Kui turned his head to look at Zhang Xingrong and said, "I'm speaking truthfully. Yunqing has a very high reputation in the Northwest Army. If he sits in Luozhou, his morale will be greatly increased, and our odds of victory are very low. "In addition, Yunqing is not only good at fighting, but also wins more and loses less in war.

Qiu Dashan said: "There are only 150,000 soldiers and horses in Luozhou, and there are 250,000 soldiers and horses on our side. When it comes to the decisive battle, we also have a 50% chance of winning. "Qiu Dashan is also a brave and good general, he is not afraid of Yunqing. It's just that he also knows in his heart that although they have 250,000 horses, they are not of the same heart. So he was not sure whether he could keep Fuyang.

As he was talking, he heard the guards say, "General, the sheep has been killed, can you send it in?"

Qiu Dashan stood up with a smile and said, "Come, let's do it together." "In the past, when they were in Liaodong, their favorite thing was to eat mutton hot pot.

Coincidentally, Du Zheng was also eating hot pot this day, and he was also eating mutton hot pot. Although they are all mutton hot pot, the ingredients are different. In Du Zheng's house, in addition to a large pot of mutton and a few plates of beef and pork cut on the table, there are also cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, radish, kelp, potatoes, vermicelli and other vegetables.

As soon as the soup was ordered, Deputy General Kang Yongquan and Sun Shaojian walked in. Kang Yongquan looked at the pile of dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Today is really luxurious." "In Liaodong, mutton and beef are cheaper, but cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and kelp are even more expensive. This is also the reason why Kangyong Quan will say that today's luxury.

Du Zheng said with a smile: "I just sent something over today, and we also had a good meal today." "Du Zheng eats the same as a soldier on weekdays, only occasionally adding food. In fact, even the current soldiers' food level has reached the level of ordinary generals in Yucheng ten years ago.

After Kang Yongquan sat down, he asked, "General, how does the prince punish Lao Hu?" Just got the news, Kang Yongquan was very surprised.

Du Zheng didn't sympathize with Hu Chunjian at all, and said: "The official has been demoted by three levels and transferred to Lao Fengna." It's also the prince who believes in him, otherwise it wouldn't be too much to beat him with what his cheap brother-in-law did. The reason why Du Zheng is said to be a cheap brother-in-law is because Zhao Qiang's sister is not Hu Chunjian's wife, but a side room.

Kang Yongquan said, "Xiang Weiguo was planted on a woman before, but I didn't expect Lao Hu to still accept the lesson. "But obviously, Hu Chunjian is much better than Xiang Weiguo.

Du Zheng felt that Kang Yongquan's statement was not quite right: "Their situation is different. Xiang Weiguo married a broom star and his own brain was confused, and Hu Chunjian's kid was completely confused by women. Fortunately, the princess got the news in time, otherwise it would have caused a big disaster this time. Yun Qing wrote to tell a few generals the ins and outs, not only to make everyone more vigilant, but also to let them investigate the generals in the army. Zhao Qiang was the first to be discovered, but definitely not the last. As for Yan Wushuang's true purpose, Yun Qing didn't tell them.

Sun Shaojian said: "Although Yan Wushuang's methods are a bit inferior, they are very useful, and we still have to be careful." Although Sun Shaojian came to take refuge halfway, he was brave and desperate when he fought, and he made great contributions when attacking Henan. Yunqing governs the army strictly, and he is promoted by military merit. So after Henan was defeated, Sun Shaojian was promoted to three levels. Du Zheng thought she was good, and asked Yun Qing to come over.

Du Zheng nodded and said: "Shaojian is right, open guns are easy to block and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, we all have to be careful." ”

As he spoke, the soup was also opened. Du Zheng slowly put the meat in, and Sun Shaojian put the vegetables. As for Kang Yongquan, who put the mutton under boiling water, he was busy eating it, and he didn't care that the meat was undercooked.

I was half-full, and my body was warm. Kang Yongquan remembered one thing: "General, I heard that Ah Shao was read by the prince as a companion? Is this true or false?" Kang Yongquan is also from Hocheng today, and he overheard it.

Du Zheng said with a smile: "It's true, it's been a month." "It's a good thing for a son to be a companion to the prince, but Du Zheng didn't publicize this good thing.

Sun Shaojian swallowed a piece of tofu and said, "I heard that the prince can be literate and martial, and his understanding is extremely high, I don't know if the rumors are true?"

Du Zheng put half a plate of meat into the pot, and the three big men ate it too quickly. After putting the meat, I added another piece of cooked beef to the bowl. While eating, he smiled and said, "It's true." Ah Shao said that the prince is extremely smart and can learn things as soon as he learns, and he can also draw inferences from others. Although the son of the world is five years younger than my family A Shao, this kid admires the prince very much. ”

Kang Yongquan said: "This is really a great event. Come, a toast to our wise man. "Because they didn't dare to drink too much in the army, they drank two or three glasses at most, for fear of drinking too much and making mistakes. For their amount of alcohol, two or three glasses of wine is about the same as drinking water, and it will not have an effect.

Du Zheng smiled and raised his glass: "Dry." "There are successors to the prince, and they are both relieved and relieved.

Sun Shaojian put down the cup and said, "General, I heard that the princess spoils the second young master very much, I don't know if this is true or not?"

Du Zheng said happily: "It's all rumors spread by people with intentions. Not to mention that the princess is not a person who spoils children, even if there is, there are still the prince and the old lady here! They can't watch the child being raised by the princess. "In fact, it doesn't matter how the triplets are, the important thing is that Brother Hao is outstanding.

Sun Shaojian nodded.

Kang Yongquan put down his wine glass and said: "It is said that the women of Yucheng are powerful, but no matter how powerful the women of Yucheng are, they are not as strong as the princess." ”

Du Zheng put down his chopsticks and said, "You're drunk with only two glasses?" The princess is also something you can criticize?" Kang Yongquan's amount of wine is not bad, and two catties of liquor can't pour him down. So it's absolutely impossible for him to be drunk right now.

Kang Yongquan was not drunk: "I'm a rough person and can't speak, but I am sincerely grateful to the princess." Since the prince married the princess, our life has been better day by day. Like the present days, I didn't dare to dream of it before. Ten years ago, his dream was to save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law and have a son. But now, he has married a beautiful daughter-in-law and two big fat boys, living in a big house, and a maid and wife are waiting. It was a beautiful day that made him feel unreal.

Kang Yongquan was married when he was in Hoseong. His daughter-in-law is the daughter of a squire, and she is beautiful and supple, and he couldn't be more satisfied. Of course, there are countless cases like Kang Yongquan in the Northwest Army.

Du Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you will cherish your blessings in the future, don't be blinded by wealth and forget your heart." In fact, Du Zheng also felt that Yuxi was prosperous and prosperous. Because since Yunqing married her, it was the sesame seeds that bloomed and grew. So even if Yunqing offered Yuxi up, he didn't feel anything.

Yuxi, who is considered to be a prosperous husband and a prosperous family, is busy with his feet not touching the ground at this time. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, there are more and more things.

Xu Wu walked into the study, handed a letter to Yuxi, and said, "Princess, this is a handwritten letter from Lord Han." In addition to this letter, Lord Han also sent two carts of things. ”

Yuxi said: "Give the things to Mother Qu for storage." "The Northwest officials are Qingming, and the phenomenon of gift-giving and running officials is not visible. Even if there is, it is a dark box operation and will not be put on the bright side. In this case, it is impossible for the following officials to give gifts to Yuxi. Even if Han Jianming gave Yuxi, it was only some special products, and he would not send anything particularly valuable.

After reading Xin Yuxi, she frowned, but she didn't dwell on it for too long, because Tan Tuo had affairs with Jiang Hongfu and several other courtiers. Jiang Hongfu has been in charge of the unfinished canal construction work in the past two years, and Liu Biyuan is in charge of the follow-up of planting mulberry trees.

After dealing with these things, it was already dark. In winter, it gets dark early. Yuxi took the unfinished folds back to the backyard and prepared to approve them again in the evening.

Before dinner, Liu Er said to Yuxi: "Mother, the things of the previous year were more expensive than usual, especially the silk and satin cloths were 20% more expensive than usual. "More than three months ago, Liu Er didn't know that the price of silk and satin was different. Now, she knows the prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and coarseness.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Things are more expensive than usual during the Chinese New Year, so people usually buy things they need a month or two before the Chinese New Year." ”

Zao Zao quipped: "Liu'er, maybe in another two years, you will have to take care of our eating, drinking, and Lazar." "For Liu'er's transformation, Zao Zao is very happy. A talented woman is good, but she is not as real or down-to-earth as she is now.

When Brother Rui heard this, he leaned his head and said, "Second sister, won't you become a little housekeeper?"

Liu Er frowned and said, "Eldest sister, second brother, you are too vulgar to speak. "What you eat, drink, Lazar, what little housekeeper and mother-in-law, it's all ugly.

Zao Zao shrugged and said, "You can also listen to the vulgarity, you can't change it anyway." "Yuxi tried hard to change the bad habit of jujubes, but unfortunately he couldn't change it. After a long time, Yuxi also gave up.

Regarding the dead pig of jujube jujube that is not afraid of boiling water, Yuxi didn't say much, just shook his head.

Seeing this, Brother Rui also learned the same way, saying that he couldn't change it. As a result, Yuxi pulled his ears and said: "The good ones don't learn, but the bad ones are hard to learn." ”

Covering his ears, Brother Rui shouted repeatedly: "Mother, let go, your ears are about to be screwed off." "Actually, Yuxi didn't use his strength, Brother Rui was completely pretending.

Brother Hao was talking to Brother You, and Brother Xuan was listening. Hearing Brother Rui'er's cry, the three of them glanced at each other, then turned back and continued to talk about theirs.

When the meal came, Yuxi beckoned: "Wash your hands and eat." "It's also very lively to have children to eat with.

Zao Zao looked at the empty place next to Yuxi and asked, "Mother, isn't Dad coming back for dinner today?" Recently, Yunqing has often been away from home for dinner.

Yuxi hummed and said, "Your father didn't come back at this time, so he probably ate in the barracks." "Even if you don't eat in the barracks, you won't wait. It's cold, and if you don't eat the food, it will soon get cold.

After dinner, the three brothers Rui Ge'er followed Hao Ge'er to the front yard, while Liu Er went back to his yard, and only the dates stayed.

Zao Zao hugged Yuxi's arm and said, "Mother, dad is going to fight this time, let me go with me!"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I said that you can only go to the battlefield when you are thirteen years old. "After the New Year, the jujube is only twelve years old, and it is the year after the year to meet the requirements.

Zao Zao shook Yuxi's arm and said, "Mother, you just let me go! I just went to see, and I didn't go to the battlefield." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "This matter is not discussed. "It's good if she doesn't push back, she still wants to move forward, don't even think about it.

Zao Zao was very disappointed. She originally wanted to talk to Tong Yuxi first, and then talk to Yunqing.

Yuxi patted Zaojube's hand and said, "There is still a battle to fight, and you will have a chance in the future." It's still too young, and learning the skills is the most important thing. ”

Zao Zao said coyly: "Got it." "It's going to take two more years, and it feels like a long time!

ps: O(∩_∩)O~, how are you having fun these days?
