The next day, when Jiang Mi came back with Cui Zixuan, he obviously felt that the atmosphere in the city had become tense.

Turning his head to look at the people hurrying on the street, Cui Zixuan said in a low voice: "Zhao Kuangyi has led a large army to the Southern Tang Dynasty. "This time, Cui Zixuan and the 30,000 private troops sent by the major families, as well as his cronies and some family members with extremely rich combat experience and knowledge of various fields, have followed Zhao Kuangyi to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Jiang Mi knew this, and she asked softly: "The Southern Tang Dynasty has geographical risks, between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the final victory or defeat will be above the naval army, how about our Northern Zhou naval army?"

Cui Zixuan replied: "Generally, it is not the enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Jiang Mi looked back at him.

At this time, the two had already come to the street where the two families were located, and Cui Zixuan invited: "Ah Mi, go to Cui's house." ”

Jiang Mi nodded.

When Cui Zixuan's carriage drove into the Boling Cui clan, Jiang Mi was still thinking about Cui Zixuan's words.

If you want to say who is the easiest in this battle, it must be Jiang Mi. Her Youzhou Yang's business center is all in the north, this battle between the Northern Zhou and Southern Tang Dynasty, if she wants to enter, she can insert a foot to make herself stand more stable, if she doesn't want to, she can completely withdraw from the matter. But no one else is so. It can be said that in addition to her, this battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty, whether it is for Cui Zixuan or Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong and others, is to determine their lives, or it is the most critical battle in the world.

Because she can get out of the matter, Jiang Mi actually didn't know too much about the military strength of the Northern Zhou and Southern Tang Dynasty.

From a distance, seeing Jiang Mi's carriage driving into Cui Zixuan's courtyard, Cui Ziying's eyebrows were crooked, she jumped into Mrs. Cui's room, and called sweetly: "Grandmother!"

Mrs. Cui is a person who likes to worry, and she was worried about the war at this time, when she heard her granddaughter's brisk call, she looked up and saw Cui Ziying smiling, Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Ah Ying has a good thing?

Cui Ziying jumped next to her and sat down, and happily replied: "I just saw my sister-in-law come over with my brother, and I was happy." She was crisp again, and said in a very fast and happy tone: "I met Sister Wang just now, and she said that at yesterday's banquet, they were all taken aback when they saw their sister-in-law, but they didn't expect that their sister-in-law was not only extremely beautiful but also very confident." Sister Wang said, they originally thought that their sister-in-law was just like this, but they didn't expect that she would be no less inferior in front of the sons and daughters of all the families. Grandmother, you don't know, Sister Wang sighed for a long time at that time. ”

Old Madam Cui bowed her head and said, "It would be best if she could be recognized by those people." ”

In the blink of an eye, Old Madam Cui sighed softly again.

Cui Ziying said puzzledly: "Grandmother, what are you sighing for? Isn't everything fine now?"

Old Madam Cui shook her head, and said with some uneasiness: "What do your little children know? This battle with Nantang decided the net worth and lives of all of us, how can your grandmother settle down before the big victory?" In a blink of an eye, she said to herself again: "Zhao Kuangyi has set off, and I don't know if Xuan'er has decided when our people can fight?"

Cui Ziying didn't understand these things, she opened her eyes curiously and asked, "When my brother will go on the expedition, isn't it up to Chai Rong to decide?"

Old Madam Cui glanced at her granddaughter and said, "You kid doesn't understand anything. To assist Chai Rong, he only needed to send a general to lead a few thousand soldiers and horses. But if we want to establish the prestige of the family in front of the new emperor, we have to make another miraculous feat, and then we need your brother to be deployed in the middle, and the sons and daughters of all the families will be on the field. ”

Cui Ziying understood, she asked curiously, "Grandmother wants to know, why didn't she ask my brother?"

Old Madam Cui smiled bitterly and said, "Your brother will not discuss such a big matter with his grandmother now. ”

......

Old Madam Cui's dissatisfaction, Jiang Mi didn't know about it, she was sitting in Cui Zixuan's study, listening to his analysis of the current battle situation and the various situations that the Northern Zhou sergeants would encounter.

After talking for a while, Cui Zixuan suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Mi, and came to Jiang Mi's side, Cui Zixuan put his hands in front of her knees, slowly squatted in front of her, looked at Jiang Mi with his eyes intently, and begged softly: "Ah Mi, are you okay to live with me for a while?" He stretched out his hand to stroke Jiang Mi's lips and whispered softly: "With you, my heart is stable." ”

It's a beautiful story.

Jiang Mi looked back at him, a smile bloomed, and she replied lightly, "Okay." ”

As soon as Jiang Mi's "good" word came out, Cui Zixuan smiled brightly. The two looked at each other for a moment, slowly snuggled together, their heads and necks intertwined, and they both closed their eyes, feeling the warmth coming from each other's bodies.

So, when Jiang Mi returned to the Yang Mansion in Youzhou that night, he announced this decision.

Jiang Mi didn't expect that her decision would cause protests from her subordinates. Of course, the Yang family in Youzhou has also had a lot of things recently, and Jiang Mi can't be separated from it for a moment.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mi finally decided to temporarily hand over the affairs of the Yang family in Youzhou to Wang Yi, and then let the managers cooperate. After this decision was made, although Wang Yi repeatedly refused, he still succumbed to Jiang Mi's persuasion.

On the third day, Jiang Mi moved to Cui Zixuan's courtyard. At the same time that Jiang Mi moved over, the sisters-in-law of the five surnamed Qiwang that Jiang Mi had seen also moved to the Boling Cui family. Their residence was only separated by a wall from Jiang Mi and Cui Zixuan's residence.

And from the fifth day onwards, there were flying pigeon reports and newspapers of various routes from the front. You must know that Zhao Kuangyin was originally stationed on the border between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he has always been a decisive and resolute person. Almost Chai Rong's side just issued the order to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the aid army led by Zhao Kuangyi was still on the way, and Zhao Kuangyin had already started the siege war.

Cui Zixuan hung a map of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in his study. Every day, he would indicate on the map how the situation was going. At this time, the sons-in-law of the major families and Jiang Mi were in the study, discussing the battle situation on the front line with him.

Zhao Kuangyin is the first general under Chai Rong, the most important thing is that he, like Chai Rong, has a strong personality charm and fighting ability, almost less than a month, he has fought with the Southern Tang Dynasty three times, and captured a city in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But as everyone knows, these are just appetizers. The strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty was stronger than the naval army, and if the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, water war was inevitable. In other words, if the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not officially defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty naval army in the water battle, then all the victories now would be a dream, and the Northern Zhou army would still return in vain.

When the war reached the third month, the battle situation was stalemate, and the Zhao brothers sent troops several times, but they were intercepted by Li Jingjin, the newly established prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and lost nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the advantages obtained by the Zhao brothers in the early stage have been gradually erased.

In the fourth month, Chai Rong personally enlisted. Because of the elimination of the main force of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not afraid of being attacked from both sides, and this time Chai Rong took away all the main forces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Today, on the Huaishui line, the military strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has reached more than 300,000.

Since Chai Rong's personal expedition, the major families have been restless. Although through the wire report, it was learned that the elites sent by the family eliminated many of the main forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the battlefield with one to ten, which was deeply valued by Zhao Kuangyin, and was also independent as an army by Chai Rong, but such an achievement is far from reaching the goal of the family.

Just when everyone was anxious, Cui Zixuan gave an order, and he led all the sons and daughters-in-law of the family and Jiang Mi, with the last hole cards of the family and all the hidden talents, and ran towards the Huaishui Basin.

......

The south bank of Huaishui.

Li Wu, now Li Jingjin, can be said to be a natural general. After defeating Zhao Kuangyin head-on twice, this young man who had only been in the Southern Tang Dynasty for only a few years had already laid a solid foundation in the Southern Tang Army.

There has never been such a tempering of people as blood and fire, the current Li Wu, majestic and tall, with a kind of killing aura that can only be found in a brave and high-ranking position, this temperament makes him more and more intimidating At the same time, it also completely matures him, if Jiang Mi sees it, he will definitely not recognize this as her former brother.

Looking at the banner that gradually appeared in the field of vision and belonged to Chai Rong, a lieutenant general said: "Your Highness, Chai Rong has arrived." ”

Chai Rong has the reputation of winning a hundred battles, and when this deputy general mentioned Chai Rong, there was a nervousness in his voice that he had never noticed.

Li Wu glanced back at the deputy general, strode down the mound with a flick of his sleeves, feeling the uneasiness of the generals behind him, Li Wu said in a deep and powerful voice: "Chai Rong is the most remarkable, he is also the king of the land, if you want to talk about water warfare, except for my Southern Tang, there is no second person in the world who can be the hero!"

His voice was loud, deep, confident, and full of a kind of strength! When the generals heard this, they thought at the same time: Yes, we are going to meet the truth with Chai Rong on Huaishui. No matter how great he is Chai Rong, can he still beat us on the water?

When it comes to their strengths, the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty are full of confidence.

Not far away, the eunuch who was a close confidant of Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty saw that Li Wu had calmed the hearts of the army with only one sentence, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, and said: Although Your Majesty said that letting Li Jing come in and out to be the prince is just an expedient measure, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty can only be our Yulang Jun. can look at Li Wu's growth rate, I'm afraid that things won't be so easy.

......

On the other side, Chai Rong was also observing the Southern Tang military camp.

As he observed, he listened to the Zhao brothers report the battle situation to him.

Hearing that the Northern Zhou army was wiped out almost as soon as it appeared, Chai Rong became annoyed, and he scolded loudly: "A bunch of waste!

He pointed at Zhao Kuangyin and the others and scolded: "You wastes have really fought in vain for many years, and you have been killed by a hairy boy!" Dozens of generals scolded them from head to foot, Chai Rong was still angry, and he walked towards the camp tent quickly. After taking two steps, Chai Rong shouted angrily at the suddenly quiet generals: "Why are you dumb? Li Jingjin did a job with that kid and fucked up the courage of your turtle sons?" He roared like thunder and said, "I don't believe it, I can't cross this little water!"

In the midst of the scolding, Chai Rong violently ordered: "Everyone rush to the military tent and have a meeting!"

"Yes!"

"Call a few of those family soldiers too!"

"Obey!"
