When Yefeng and the others returned to the imperial city, it was already autumn, and along the way, they passed through some farming fields and villas, and they could always see the joyful and hearty sounds of the farmers harvesting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The news that Night Wind had returned to the Imperial City without any concealment, had already been conveyed one step earlier. Therefore, along the way, they were able to get the gifts of the enthusiastic people, and it can be said that they returned with a full load.

As for those soldiers, it was also rare to have a temporary chance to rest, seeing that the New Year was approaching, Night Wind directly pardoned them for the order to continue to stay in the army, and went home for a big reunion.

Although it is said that war is important, it is not the time when it is imminent, and it may not be so urgent, and there is not even a chance for people to connect with each other. Moreover, after this reunion, there will be another war, and I don't know how many soldiers will not be able to return to their hometowns, and how many families will never see anyone again......

So it's always important to reunite them once, so that they don't have to get another chance in the future.

Of course, those soldiers didn't know the mind of Night Wind, and they were all happy. Night Wind also deliberately adjusted the route, where the people were more soldiers, which way to go, and by the way, let those soldiers return home. That's why I delayed my return to Beijing, and it took a month.

After procrastinating all the way to know December, he really returned to the capital, and along the way, he was naturally warmly treated by everyone, but he didn't know how much he wanted to put down the night emperor's spring breeze......

There was not much time left before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the night wind directly ordered the palace people who had been idle for a long time to do it in full swing.

Night Breeze has always not raised idlers, especially the selection of talents must be elites. As for the palace, it is even more so, after all, he is personally served!

In the end, the number of people is still small, and he has reduced the size of the palace a lot, except in his own dormitory, when there is rarely a time to move, the other palaces are vacant, and naturally there is no need to spend those palace people to do things. Instead of raising idlers, when Night Wind went to the frontier, he temporarily dismissed those palace people and returned to their original residences, waiting for the news of their return.

Naturally, serving by the side of the Night Emperor, the treatment is naturally not ordinarily generous, and they all have the opportunity to prepare a residence in Beijing, so they are not far away, and they rushed back in time when they got the news.

After Yefeng returned to the palace, he gathered the palace people to sort out the palace where the banquet was held, and instructed the people around him to take care of things one by one.

The people around him are not the chief eunuchs or big eunuchs, but just a few small eunuchs in the palace. Most of his surroundings are elites cultivated in the shadows, and it is convenient to do something by his side, and he will naturally be able to do it if he directly orders him to go down layer by layer.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Chinese New Year's Eve is fast approaching.

Generally speaking, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, a family banquet is held at Qianqing officials. The members of the banquet were the queen mother, the emperor, the prince, the clansmen, and the kings. But the situation of the night wind is more peculiar......

Everyone knows that the Night Emperor is the son of destiny who fell from the sky, and he is the son of God. Naturally, the Queen Mother does not exist. Then there is the prince, the issue of the heirs of the night emperor has always been worried by the world, there is not even a single person in the harem, how can the heirs come from?

And then there are the clans and the kings.

Needless to say, there is no queen mother, not even the heirs of the harem concubines, even if they want to get the quota of one or two, it is impossible. If the words of the kings are to say that they have any blood relationship with the Night Emperor, it is not, but the words of the king with a different surname are not what the Night Emperor said?

The former National Teacher Ming Chengyan was the master that the Night Emperor once personally recognized, and promised the status and honor of the Ming Mansion of the National Teacher's Mansion, and even gave the former National Teacher Ming Chengyan the title of King of Huainan with a different surname, which is not enviable.

But if you insist on it, there is only one king.

Therefore, if the Night Emperor wants to hold a family banquet, I am afraid that the only way to blow the cold wind with the national teacher in the ancient years and watch the performance on the temporary stage of the Danqi outside the palace.

Therefore, the Night Emperor did not hold a family banquet directly, and directly started the state banquet.

The state banquet was a banquet for the ministers and the kings of the surrounding area. It stands to reason that the palace should be familiar with all of this, but the situation in the ancient realm is strange, they want to start a hundred years of war, how can they have that leisure and elegance every day? But all day long thinking about how to take other people's cities, how can you have the heart to spend on this?

In addition, the Night Emperor has been busy before, and sometimes on Chinese New Year's Eve, he may still be far away in the frontier and has not rushed back, where is the time and place and people to hold such things?

Therefore, due to various factors, this is the first time that the Night Emperor has held a Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet since he ascended the throne for ten years. Fortunately, there are also talents around me who are familiar with this aspect, and there is nothing wrong in the end, and they are still beautiful.

On top of the state banquet, it is naturally rare for important ministers of the court to be able to bring their inner sons to the banquet, which is the so-called foreign wife. Normally, these foreign women should have separated from their ministers at the beginning of the state banquet and went to the queen's side. But it is said that the situation of the Night Emperor is special......

So there is nothing to avoid suspicion, Yefeng directly ordered someone to separate the male and female seats with curtains and screens, and sent a rare woman in the dark who knows this aspect to help entertain her.

After the meal, the foreign wife returned to her husband's side, and all of them looked low-browed. Above the main hall, there are all pairs, only a few single figures...... His Majesty the Night Emperor is actually one of them......

Next is the program performance at the annual banquet.

There are interracial women full of ethnic customs who are good at dancing with long sleeves and dancing happily. There is also a minor key sung by graceful Jiangnan women......

The Night Emperor pushed the scene early and let the ministers play on their own.

Out of the palace where the banquet was held, he returned to his bedroom, and as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that there were people waiting for him in the courtyard, and looked at it slightly, and under the dim moonlight, many people sat in a circle around the table, and when they saw the night breeze coming, they greeted him with a smile.

It wasn't until those people turned their heads that Night Breeze realized that there were really a lot of people.

In addition to some friends and elders in Qingshui Village, such as the national teacher Ming Chengyan, there are also Na Yuan Chenghuang and Aunt Lin, Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo...... Then there are Fang Qian'an, Li Yuyang, Wang Yuanbin, Mo Wanwan and others......

And then there are the people who knew Wang Gan, Li Yanming and other people at the beginning.

If you want to talk about why Li Yanming is here, isn't he the one of King Yuanfeng in front of him? There are some reasons for this......

In short, to make a long story short, it was Li Yanming who helped Yefeng and others, and joined forces with the outside at the place of King Yuanfeng, and finally rebelled against the first army, which helped them a lot and achieved a major victory.

Finally, there are some cronies and the like in the shadows.

Now, everyone has no ordinary identity outside the usual, just like ordinary ordinary people, as family and friends to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve with the night breeze.

Night Wind didn't mean to ruin the fun, let alone why wasn't it what he hoped for? sat up directly, and no one said anything about saluting and greetings, which was not interesting.

However, Fang Qian'an and the others were very thoughtful, and before he arrived, they had already instructed their subordinates to prepare all the things, and now they sat down and looked at the past, in addition to large and small plates, there were also simple barbecue grills and the like. Also prepared cooked meals and snacks, as for fine wine? It has already been placed one urn after another!

When I got to the seat, everyone was even more unrestrained, and I didn't care about it at all when I went crazy.

……

Not to mention how lively it was when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, after Chinese New Year's Eve it was New Year's Day, and then it was the Lantern Festival...... After three festivals in a row, it was not until mid-February that the soldiers and generals came back reluctantly.

When Night Breeze arrived on the battlefield, he could still hear some soldiers talking about how happy they were on the holidays and how happy they were to be reunited with their families......

But Night Breeze knows that for many people, this feeling is their last......

Night Wind ordered a surprise attack on Yangzhou. But in the end, the distance is long, and when you come over the mountains and rivers, and you haven't had time to rest, those Yangzhou soldiers have already taken precautions to fight back, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, the night wind has long been prepared, and one order after another has been issued in an orderly manner. They hid their whereabouts, and when they were only a distance down the mountain from the soldiers stationed in Yangzhou, they felt the people and horses stationed everywhere from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain, but they didn't make a mess, and it was very quiet.

Ready, another day passed, and on the night of the second day, Night Wind ordered a secret guard to carry out a night attack, which caught the soldiers of Yangzhou by surprise!

As for why he didn't order the elite soldiers to go, it wasn't that he cared about anything, but the night wind had already scattered the elite soldiers and distributed them everywhere in the army.

This time he wants to be the next ruthless.

Their army of the Great Night Dynasty is good, and they can kill, but that is when victory or defeat is undoubted, and there is always no pressure. It can be said that in the entire Great Night Dynasty, in addition to being carried away by the continuous victories, there is also that arrogance. That's a good thing, perhaps.

But because they are all too safe, except for those elite soldiers who have gone through real life and death battles, and have been tempered under the pressure of death and fear, others certainly have sharpness, and lack the courage to not be afraid of death......

At the beginning, he did teach that life is precious, so it should be cherished.

There's nothing wrong with that, even now, Nightwind can still say that.

It's just that in the real fight, when you face an enemy who never stops dying, if you retreat and fear, then you will really die. Do you think about defending your home and defending your country, and people who have already shown their defeats won't think about defending your home and country? So in the end, the one who fights to the end is who is not afraid of death.

I want to put them in Yangzhou this time to really collide and besiege the two countries to exercise, after all, I heard that Yangzhou's army is well-trained, and very arrogant and unyielding, and extremely bloody, even if it is dead, you have to pull one into the water!

Therefore, in addition to geographical restrictions, Night Wind also wants to choose such a big state to start. What's more, Yangzhou's interior has not completely settled down, making it more difficult for him to drill and more convenient to operate.

But naturally, it is impossible for him to let his subordinates send them to death, even if he looks down on them...... This time the situation is more serious, so the night wind has also planted a lot of people from the dark department to go in, and plans to have an elite army, mixed in various places, their sharp energy and fearlessness of death are very likely to infect the soldiers around them, and it is very likely that at the critical moment, it is because of such a glimmer of thought that they have a glimmer of life.

At the end of February, the two armies went to war, the Yangzhou army was brave and invincible, the two armies were just fighting in one side, and the army of the Daye Dynasty suffered heavy casualties. Of course, most of them were injured, and the number of deaths was insignificant compared to them, even if the number of deaths was comparable to when Qingzhou was pushed across the previous period.

Such a collision, the night wind can really confirm that the army of Yangzhou is indeed very bloody, sometimes their posture of not fearing death is very terrifying, no wonder there are so many fearful soldiers who have been beaten out.

However, the night wind is very harsh, and there is no merciless meaning at all, continue to let them fight hotly, and let the healed soldiers continue to participate in the war, and never raise waste people, this sentence is never false.

On the other hand, the night wind is also making statistics on the situation, and then preparing to open the treasury at any time after the truce to appease the people and comfort those who have lost their loved ones. It is after this situation that I am afraid that it will cause a lot of turmoil......

But it's also like this, so that some people can know that it's not opportunistic to win honor, don't be ignorant and greedy, who can blame you if you don't have the ability to die?

That's what Nightwind thinks, and that's what he does.

The battle with the Yangzhou army lasted from the end of February to the beginning of April, and the anger on both sides became stronger and stronger.

And the army of the Great Night Dynasty gradually adapted to it, and gradually began to produce that kind of iron cavalry temperament that is not afraid of death!

Once the enemy is relieved, the advantage is getting flatter and the battlefield is stalemate.

But Nightwind knew that this wouldn't last long.

Sure enough, in mid-April, news of a sneak attack in Yuezhou came from the rear of Yangzhou.

The night breeze expected early in the morning that he was fighting with Yangzhou, and it was impossible for Yuezhou not to care, and eighty percent wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It is to help himself deal with the soldiers in Yangzhou, make the situation in Yangzhou chaotic, and then let himself the best fight between the Night Dynasty and Yangzhou lose both, and the kind that hurts the enemy by one thousand and loses eight hundred, then he can jump out and destroy the Daye Dynasty together......

No matter how bad it is, you can always compete with the night breeze for territory, right? You know, they are Yangzhou's neighbors! It's close, and it's been a long time to peek into Yangzhou......

But no matter what, the night breeze won't let him get his wish......

A sneer tugged at the corner of Night Wind's lips.
