Gan Ning said: "General Zhao, if you have something to say, please speak directly." ”

"General Gan has excellent martial arts, great courage, and is also a very brave person, now Liu Biao and Huang Zu are all buried in the fire, does General Gan have any plans?" Zhao Yun immediately asked......

Gan Ning hadn't thought about any plans for the time being, he glanced back at Su Fei, Wang Wei and the others behind him, and saw that their faces were tired, so he shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being, I just want to avenge the lord and the marquis of Chu." Zhao Yun smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The people who killed your lord and the Marquis of Chu are now surrounded by our army, if our army kills your enemy for General Gan, then how should General Gan thank our army? ”

Gan Ning was not a fool, he naturally heard Zhao Yun's words, and immediately said, "General Zhao, please allow me to discuss it." ”

Zhao Yun nodded and did not speak.

At this time, Huang Zhongzheng led the Tiefutu to rush back and forth in the camp of the Song army, and everywhere he passed, no one could stop him, and the soldiers who were not afraid of death came up to die, and those who were afraid of death retreated to the back, and the screams continued, resounding through the world.

Gan Ning turned around and glanced at the Song soldiers who were being trampled, the strength just now seemed so vulnerable in front of the iron hooves of the Yan army, and looked around at the heavy infantry that was constantly moving around the periphery, and they were also surrounding it step by step, except for the rows of heavy infantry behind Zhao Yun, the rest were pressed up, and the surrounding Song army was overwhelmed......

"General Wang, Brother Su, do you have any plans?"

Wang Wei and Su Fei saw that the Yan army's iron cavalry swept the entire battlefield, and the infantry was responsible for collecting the net, and they cooperated quite tacitly, all of them were impressed by the Yan army's combat effectiveness, and those soldiers of the Song army who killed the Song army with a torrent of steel were as simple as trampling ants to death. It's really shocking, and the strength of the Song army, they have seen it before.

After watching it, the two of them turned around, hugged their fists together, and said, "I'll wait for General Gan's horse." ”

After hearing this, Gan Ning gently closed his eyes. When I opened it again, there was more depth in my eyes. He turned his head and saw Zhao Yun waiting there, so he arched his hand and said: "General Zhao, I, Gan Xingba, am not a person who does not know the times, my lord is dead, and my Gan Xingba is equal to freedom, and I have also repaid that kindness in many battles." I understand exactly what the general meant. I am willing to lead the remnants of the hundred horsemen to return to the tent of the Marquis of Shunyan, and I hope that General Zhao will introduce ......"

Zhao Yun laughed and said: "General Gan is quick to speak, and he will inevitably become another fierce general in the Yan army, so good." General Gan will rest here for a while, and I will go back when I go, and when the Song army is resolved, I will ask General Gan to go back to Xiangnan City with me to see my lord. I think. If the lord saw General Gan coming, he would definitely be overjoyed. The voice fell. Zhao Yun took all the heavy infantry behind him, ran forward quickly, and cooperated with Huang Zhong to strangle the Song army soldiers.

At this time, another army slipped out from the northwest, the same steel armor. Unified equipment, the banner of "Yan" with gold characters on a black background fluttered in the air in the wind, Wen Chou rushed over first, and two thousand heavy infantry quickly joined the battle circle.

Yuan Shu only felt that he was surrounded by a heavy siege at this time, and saw that his soldiers were vulnerable. Unable to stop the steel torrent of the Yan army, although he was angry in his heart, he was helpless, he held the jade seal of the country tightly in his arms, and kept retreating, but when the enemy was also surrounded behind, he felt that he had no way to retreat......

"Those who surrender are not to die"

The Yan army shouted loudly together, and when many soldiers heard this, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

In an instant, except for Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang, Lei Bo, Lei Xu, and hundreds of relatives around them, the rest of the people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Yuan Shu, leave the jade seal, I can let you live" Huang Zhong ordered the whole army to stop, and shouted loudly to the middle.

"Lord, for this heirloom jade seal, two major wars have been triggered, this is an ominous thing, it is better to give Yan Jun in exchange for a way to live, and when you return to Yuzhou, after rectifying the soldiers and horses, it is not too late to fight" Yan Xiang said.

Yuan Shu frowned, looked down and saw the heirloom jade seal he was holding in his arms, and felt remorseful in his heart, he was unwilling to give up what he had obtained so lightly, with this thing, he could be called the emperor, and only then could the Yuan family be famous in the world.

However, when he saw that there were only a few hundred people around him, and the other party was aggressive, he had to plan for his own life......

"Lord, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, I am willing to take the jade seal of the country out and hand it over to Yan Jun." Seeing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly said.

Yuan Shu didn't even think about it, and directly gave the jade seal of the country to Zhang Yun, and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Yun hugged the jade seal of the country, walked straight to Huang Zhong, and said with a smile: "General Huang, I am Zhang Yun of the Chu army, and I am the governor of Jingzhou's navy, this jade seal of the country is a gift I offer to Yan Hou, and please Yan Hou look at the face of the jade seal, spare my life, as long as I return to Jingzhou, I will definitely persuade those water troops to come to Yan Hou, so that Yan Hou only needs to send General Huang to Jingzhou alone to occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou......"

Huang Zhong was very disgusted with Zhang Yun, he and Zhang Yun used to be generals under Liu Biao's account, and he knew Zhang Yun's personality well, but he was afraid that as soon as he was let go back, he would immediately take over Jingzhou and erect Liu Biao's son to replace Liu Biao, where would there be any Lin Nan's share. What's more, he understands the situation in Jingzhou, the forces are complicated, and it is not so easy for outsiders to seize the entire territory of Jingzhou, even when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou and really controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou, it took two years......

He snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take the jade seal of Chuanguo, his eyes flashed with fierce light, waved his phoenix mouth knife, hacked Zhang Yun to death with one knife, and scolded loudly: "People with two faces and three knives are innocent of death." ”

Yuan Shu didn't react to Zhang Yun's death at all, but he was also a little worried, worried that Huang Zhong didn't say anything, what if he didn't let him go.

In the midst of his depression, Yuan Shu suddenly heard Huang Zhong shouting, "Song Hou"

Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "The jade seal has been given to you, do you want to regret it?" I really didn't expect that the dignified Yanhou would also lose his trust in the world......"

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Song Hou rest assured, my father-in-law has already explained, and he will not embarrass Song Hou no matter what." The war with Song Hou was also a last resort, and now the general trend has been decided. Please also ask Song Hou to return to Yuzhou as soon as possible. It is reported that Cao Cao, Marquis of Wei, is gathering troops and horses to prepare to attack Yuzhou, once Cao Cao attacks Yuzhou, I think Sun Jian, who is far away in Jiangdong, will also lead the Wu army to take a piece of the pie and seize the Huainan land of Song Hou, right? ”

Yan Xiang was shocked. Hurriedly said: "Lord, what Huang Zhong said is reasonable, Cao Cao is ambitious, insidious and cunning, this melee, I didn't see his army, and Sun Jian didn't participate from the beginning, in case the two of them teamed up to attack Song, it would be dangerous......"

Yuan Shu said: "I have my own measure. ”

Huang Zhong immediately got out of the way. He said to Yuan Shu: "Song Hou, in addition to you, you can still take ten soldiers, please make your own decision, I will give you a quarter of an hour." ”

Yuan Shu didn't think about it, and immediately shouted: "Yan Xiang, Lei Bo, and Lei Xu will come with me......"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Shu rode his horse and galloped, leaving here with Yan Xiang, Lei Bo, and Lei Xu. The soldiers behind him scrambled to follow, but when they passed through Huang Zhong's checkpoint. After counting the eleventh person, the road was directly blocked.

Huang Zhong said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, you have all followed Yuan Shu for so long, it's time to change the master, our Yanhou treats people well, you all get up." Carry the grain and grass from the camp and come with me. ”

The soldiers of the Song army were all depressed, but they had no choice but to do so.

Zhao Yun saw that Huang Zhong had solved the matter, so he rode his horse to Gan Ning's side and said, "General Gan." How many soldiers and horses are there in Jingzhou? ”

Wang Wei is a general under Liu Biao's account, he knows the distribution of troops very well, and when he saw Gan Ning's face was embarrassed, he directly said for Gan Ning: "Jiangxia 20,000, Xiangyang 50,000, Jiangling 30,000, and the rest of the 80,000 soldiers and horses are distributed in various counties. ”

"One hundred and eighty thousand? There are still 180,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou? Zhao Yun was taken aback, he didn't expect that there were so many soldiers and horses, and then asked, "Liu Biao is dead, can all the land of Jingzhou be surrendered?" ”

Wang Wei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it can't ...... Jingzhou's forces are complicated, the Marquis of Chu still has two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong, both of whom can inherit the title, however, Liu Cong is still a baby, and his mother Cai can be in power, although Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He all died in this battle, but Cai is still a major force in Jingzhou, and there will inevitably be other Cai people to replace it. ”

"So, Jingzhou is unprofitable?"

Wang Wei said: "The situation in Jingzhou is not very stable, the north-south span is too large, the territory is vast, and the Marquis of Chu also relied on Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and other talents to persuade the whole state, in fact, the Marquis of Chu can control the soldiers and horses, only Xiangyang and Jiangling, and the rest of the counties are only superficially dispatched, but they are each in their own faction. ”

Zhao Yundao: "I understand, it seems that the water in Jingzhou is much more muddy than we imagined." Three generals, please come back to Xiangnan City with me and go to see the lord. ”

Gan Ning, Su Fei, and Wang Wei said: "It's all up to the general to send it." ”

Subsequently, 12,000 heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, pushing and shoving more than 5,000 Song troops, pulling grain and grass, and carrying jade seals, stayed away from the ruins of Luoyang and drove towards Xiangnan City.

The Yan Army's iron cavalry showed its might in this battle and became an invincible myth, and the troubled times, when the Yan army retreated, still continued......

As the sun sets, the sky is full of sunset, and ferries on the banks of the Yellow River come and go, loaded with weapons, money, grain and grass, and hundreds of thousands of people from the counties around Luoyang, heading north of the Yellow River. Lin Nan rode a jujube red war horse, followed by Guo Jia, Xu You, Ouyang Yinying and others, inspecting everyone who was preparing to cross the river.

Thousands of people lined up into many long queues, Mengjin ferry became extremely congested, nearly a million people near the waste capital of Luoyang are looking forward to migration, for three consecutive days, hundreds of ferries day and night non-stop ferrying, the transport of people is only half of the people.

Seeing the congested crowd, Lin Nan frowned, and said to Xu You behind him: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it will be delayed for a few days, so I ordered Li Yulin and others to step up the construction of the ferry, and every time a ferry is built, it will be launched immediately for trial, and if there is no danger, it will be immediately put into the ranks of transporting the people......

Xu You clenched his fists and said "promise", turned to leave.

Lin Nan immediately said to Guo Jia: "Tell me to go down, distribute all the food, and make sure that everyone does not go hungry, and the food brought out from Henan City is enough for millions of people to support a month." ”

"The subordinates have already ordered to go down, and Calice and Wenrui are leading people to distribute food to the people. Lord, his subordinates are worried about the affairs of the north bank, although the military advisor and Xun Yu have already led the soldiers to meet them on the north bank. However, the migration of a million people is indeed not a small number, and how to resettle this million people is a headache. Guo Jiadao.

"After this war, the population of Jizhou and Jizhou has decreased sharply. I thought that these millions of people should be relocated to Bingzhou and Jizhou respectively to enrich the household registration of the two places. "Subordinates seconded." Guo Jia echoed.

Lin Nandao: "Well, divide the million population into three, 300,000 into the annexed state, 100,000 in Hanoi, 900,000 to Wei County, Julu County and other areas, most of the people in those two places have fled, and many fertile fields are barren. It is necessary to rebuild a rich Jizhou. ”

"The lord is wise," Guo Jiadao.

At this time, Lin Chu came on horseback, and when he saw Lin Nan, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, the three generals Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou returned with a great victory, and they did not lose a single soldier or horseman. The Chu army, except for Gan Ning, Wang Wei, Su Fei and other hundred cavalry, was annihilated by the Song army, and General Huang followed the orders of the lord. Yuan Shu and other ten cavalry were released, and the remaining 9,000 soldiers all surrendered. Now I'm heading towards the Mengjin Ferry......"

"Good." Lin Nan was very happy, firstly, because he returned triumphantly, and secondly, because he had another general, Gan Ning.

"The lord deliberately let Yuan Shu go, but was it for Cao Cao?" Guo Jia then asked.

"Not bad. Cao Cao did not participate in the two jade seal battles between the princes, presumably because he saw through my strategy. Hurry back to regroup troops and horses, transfer troops and generals, and prepare to attack Yuzhou. Naturally, I won't let Cao Cao seize it so easily, and let Yuan Shu go, and it is precisely for this matter that I let go. ”

"The lord is very thoughtful, and his subordinates are very impressed. It's just that. Now that Liu Biao is dead, and the land of Jingzhou has been leaderless, why does the lord insist on withdrawing to the north of the Yellow River, and let go of the great place of division and the promising Jingzhou? ”

"In just a few years, the land of Luoyang and Gyeonggi has suffered several major changes, and the population has been decreasing in the war, and there are corpses everywhere, which have long lost their meaning. …… Zhang Xiu and Yang Feng of the Liang army occupied Hangu Pass, Li Dian of the Wei army occupied the Tiger Prison Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass was controlled by the Song army, our army had no danger to defend, and it had lost the meaning of guarding, so it was better to retreat to the north of the Yellow River as soon as possible and develop with peace of mind......"

After a pause, Lin Nan continued: "Although Jingzhou is now ownerless, Liu Biao still has a son, and he can inherit Liu Biao's great cause, if our army goes south, it will inevitably cause desperate resistance from the Chu army." In addition, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, who is not eyeing the fat of Jingzhou? What's more, Liu Bei and others are also in Jingzhou, this person is ambitious, and he will definitely not live under the people for a long time, as soon as Liu Biao dies at this moment, he will inevitably take the opportunity to move, I am afraid that Jingzhou will definitely not be peaceful in the next few years...... If my army goes south, they will inevitably form a group, so it is better to let them fight on their own, and wait for us to rest for a few years, and then it is not too late to go south. ”

"The lord's analysis is very reasonable, and his subordinates are impressed." Guo Jiadao.

"You kid, it's only been a few months since you left me, why did you become flamboyant and keep slapping all day long?" Lin Nan said with a smile.

Guo Jia said: "There is no way, Lu Bu likes to listen to such words, and his subordinates have to do it as a last resort." ”

"Well, let's go ahead again, Huang Zhong and they should be there tomorrow morning."

……

Early the next morning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Gan Ning, Wang Wei, Su Fei and others all came to the Mengjin ferry together, but they were blocked ten miles away, and the road in front of them was filled with people in the Luoyang area, blocking the road to the brim. "General Huang, General Zhao, General Wen, you are finally back, the lord was still talking to you yesterday, come with me to see the lord." As soon as Guan Hai, who was in charge of greeting, saw everyone coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

At that moment, Guan Hai took everyone to a high post and entered a simple camp, Guan Hai walked straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, hugged his fists outside the tent and said: "Lord Qi, General Huang, General Zhao, and General Wen are back......"

Before the words fell, I saw Lin Nan rushing out of the tent barefoot, with great joy on his face, and said with a smile: "The triumphant return of the three generals really won glory for my Yan army, and after returning to Jicheng, I will definitely be rewarded......

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Gan Ning standing behind Zhao Yun, and immediately walked towards Gan Ning, and as soon as the words changed, he said happily: "Gan Xingba, I finally officially saw you today......

Gan Ning saw Lin Nan barefoot to greet him, which was a touch. Hurriedly knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave, Gan Ning can be lucky enough to meet Yanhou, it is the blessing of three lives......"

Wang Wei and Su Fei also knelt on the ground together, and shouted in unison: "I'll see Yanhou later." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly stepped forward. helped Gan Ning, Wang Wei, and Su Fei up one by one, and said happily: "From now on, you will be the generals under my account, and you should not be restrained in the future, just treat them as brothers......

Gan Ning, Wang Wei, and Su Fei saw that Lin Nan didn't have a little arrogance, and they were also martial artists, they felt quite cordial, and the three of them said in unison: "From now on, I am willing to obey Yanhou's dispatch." Never give up. ”

"Okay, okay, you haven't eaten yet, let's all eat together."

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou said in unison: "Congratulations to the lord for winning another general." ”

"Hahaha, you also need a good brother, come and come, come and come. Guan Hai, tell to go down. Get some wine and meat, and I'm going to treat them well. ”

"No"

……

Three days later. Millions of people in the counties near Luoyang crossed the Yellow River day and night to the north, and with the full cooperation of the Yan soldiers on the south and north banks, all the people were properly settled, 300,000 people rushed to Bingzhou in an orderly manner under the escort of the army, 900,000 people went to Jizhou, and 100,000 people stayed in Hanoi......

After Lin Nan crossed the Yellow River. Beacon towers were quickly arranged along the Yellow River, and garrisons were dispatched to garrison the banks of the Yellow River, so that Huang Zhong was the Taishou of Hanoi, responsible for the police boundary of the Yellow River in this area, and Xu Huang, Pang De, and Zang Ba were guarding different sections of the river. The banks of the Yellow River, guarded by the four men, also formed a tight blockade.

A month later, Lin Nan led a few people back to Jicheng, leaving the troops along the Yellow River, as soon as he entered Jicheng, he immediately felt relieved, went south in May, returned in October, went through a lot of hardships, and finally pacified the entire Jizhou, just five months, as if it was a century......

There was no time to rest, Lin Nan immediately devoted himself to the handling of government affairs, officially appointed Tian Feng as the history of Youzhou Thorn, Han Meng as the history of the state thorn, Xun Chen as the history of Jizhou Thorn, and renamed Wei County as Ye County, Zhao County as Handan County, Zhongshan County into Changshan County, Anping County as Xindu County, and appointed Taishou and subordinate officials, and issued a tax reduction and exemption order for Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, encouraging the people to engage in agricultural production and encourage the people to have more children.

In addition, Lin Nan also listed a list of merits, divided according to the merits, with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Wen Chou, and Gan Ning as the five tiger generals, and Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Pang De, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, Zang Ba, Guan Hai, Han Meng, Zhou Cang, Chu Yan, Lu Heng, Liao Hua, Lin Yang, Wang Wenjun, Wu Li Deng, and Ji Dun as the new eighteen hussars, the original Bian Xi was hidden in Wei, so it was inconvenient to mention, and Xiahou Lan took the initiative to ask to withdraw from the eighteen hussars. The rest of the meritorious people have been rewarded.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia were rewarded according to the title of duke and baron, and were awarded first-class viscounts by Lin Nanyi, Xun You, Tian Feng, Xu You, Xun Chen, and Wuhu were all awarded second-class viscounts, while the eighteen hussars were awarded third-class viscounts, and the rest of the generals were either awarded barons first, second, and third, or rewarded with gold and silver.

After finishing some of the merits, Lin Nan dragged his tired body back to the residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Diao Chan, Cai Yan, and Gong Yifei sitting in the room, and when they saw him come in, they all saluted.

Lin Nan saw that Diao Chan's belly was much bigger than when he left five months ago, and about the time of delivery was approaching, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Diao Chan and asked, "You have a big belly, why do you still salute me?" Sit down, sit down. ”

After Diao Chan sat down, Lin Nan leaned down on Diao Chan's stomach and listened, with a smile on his face, and asked, "When will you be born?" ”

"Soon, it's probably just a few days, it's really time for Master Hou to come back." Diao Chan said happily.

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a few months, I also miss you, come, let me kiss you." Lin Nan grabbed Cai Yan and Gong Fei's hands and said with a smile.

"Ah......h

The cry of pain in the house reached the ears of Lin Nan, who kept walking outside the door, and his heart was like a knife at the moment, and he seemed powerless when he heard his own wife yelling in the room. "Are these stable women okay or not, it's been so long, why haven't they been born for so long?" Lin Nan paced anxiously, holding his hands together and rubbing them dripping, not caring about the sweat that was already covered on his forehead, face, and neck.

Cai Yan and Gong Yifei were both sitting in the shade under the porch, and there were two maids standing beside them. Their eye beads followed Lin Nan's body back and forth, and after a while, they felt a little dizzy in their eyes.

Seeing Lin Nan walking around, Gong Yifei hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't walk around like this, even if you keep walking like this." It doesn't help, it's my sister who suffers, not you? Your eyes are dizzy."

"But I'm in a hurry, I can't sit still, my heart is very anxious, I've been in for so long, and I haven't been born yet, what the hell is going on, what if...... No, there can be no just case. My children, male and female, must be born safely, and there must be no ......."

After Lin Nan said this, he walked straight to the door, and as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the two maids standing at the door: "Master Hou, men can't just mess in."

Lin Nan's face was bruised. I was so anxious to hear this. Then he said loudly: "Damn, where did you get so many rules?" Where haven't I seen my wife? Get out of the way."

The two maids blushed, but they kept their arms out of the door, without the slightest movement...... One of the maidservants said, "Master Hou, Mrs. Cicada has ordered. Let us stay at the door, the child has not been born, and the Hou Ye will never be allowed to enter."

"Bastard, I'm a dignified Yanhou, don't you listen to my words? You all get out of the way for me," Lin Nan scolded loudly. The two maidservants looked at each other and frowned. In the end, he couldn't resist Lin Nan's pressure and took the initiative to get out of the way.

"Wow Wow ......"

Lin Nan was about to push open the door and go in to see his wife who was suffering inside, when his hands just touched the door frame, he suddenly heard a baby's cry coming from inside the house.

His face was happy, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down, and he was stunned for a while, and shouted to himself: "Great, I have a child, I have a child"

"Wow Wow ......"

Lin Nan was happy, and heard the baby crying, so he pushed open the door and said to himself: "Child, your father and I are here, don't cry, Dad can hug you in a while"

Pushing open the door, Lin Nan met a maid with a large basin of blood and water, he only glanced at it, and felt that it was too painful for a woman to give birth, but fortunately he was a man......

Lin Nan hurriedly walked into the house, the room was very spacious, Diao Chan was lying on a large bed, and the big bed was behind a screen.

Through the slightly transparent screen, he saw Wen Po squatting on the ground, holding a baby in her hands, placing the baby in clean warm water, washing her body, and then cutting the baby's umbilical cord with scissors......

"How's it going, male or female?" Lin Nan suddenly walked behind Wen Po and hurriedly asked.

Wen Po was startled, and when she turned around and saw that it was Lin Nan coming, she said in a little surprise: "Hou ...... Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye, Mrs. gave birth to a daughter ...... Hou Ye"

Lin Nan hurriedly glanced at the child in Wenpo's arms, and saw that the child's eyes had not yet opened, and the whole person was not much bigger than his palm, so he smiled happily, but instead of hugging the child, he walked to the side of the bed and went to visit Diao Chan......

Diao Chan was sweating profusely, lying on the bed weakly, with an obvious bite mark on her lower lip, but her eyes were blazing looking at the child in Wen Po's arms, she raised her hand slightly, turned her head, looked at Lin Nan with a little disappointment, and said lightly: "I'm sorry Hou Ye, I didn't give birth to a son ...... Hou Ye."

Lin Nan held Diao Chan's hand and said with great concern: "Both men and women are the same, after giving birth to a daughter, when she grows up, she will definitely be like you, I don't fancy these too much, don't blame yourself too much." The reason why I didn't go to hold the child just now is because I feel sorry for you, you were pregnant in October and gave birth to a daughter for me, and I was too late to be happy. ”

Diao Chan's heart felt warm, and he leaned his head on Lin Nan's shoulder, and called softly: "Master Hou, in the future, I must give birth to a son for Master Hou......"

As he spoke, Diao Chan's eyes flashed, and he saw Cai Yan and Gong Yifei walking in......

"Give me the child, I haven't seen what she looks like?" Lin Nan turned his head and said.

Wen Po hugged the child over, Lin Nan caught it, hugged it in her arms, looked carefully, and saw that her daughter's little face was red and fluttering, and her mouth and nose were very imaginary with Diao Chan. "Master Hou...... Let me hug our daughter......"

Lin Nan nodded. Hand the child to Diao.

Diao Chan took the child, held it in her arms, leaned on the back of the bed, and looked at the child she was holding in her arms, her face was filled with the joy of being a new mother......

"Congratulations to my sister, congratulations to my sister......" Cai Yan and Gong Yifei walked to the bedside together. first glanced at the child in Lin Nan's arms, and then leaned over and said to Diao Chan.

Diao Chan smiled, a little unspeakable, and said, "Thank you, sister." ”

Cai Yan walked over with a happy face, glanced at the child, and said to Diao Chan: "My sister gave birth to a girl, and when this girl grows up, she will definitely be like her sister...... Master Hou, take advantage of today's rejoicing. Why don't you just give your child a name? ”

When Lin Nan heard it, he exclaimed, "Okay, I should come up with a name." It's just, what's the good name? ”

Diao Chan said: "It's okay to call it anything, as long as it is easy to say, you don't have to pay too much attention to it." ”

"How's that going to work? He is my daughter, my daughter's name, how can she be called whatever she wants? Lin Nan said......

Diao Chan said: "Then Master Hou will give her a name." ”

Lin Nandao: "That's a certainty. But...... I've got to think about it."

Lin Nan thought for a while. I never came up with any nice names, so I turned my head and asked Cai Yan, who was more literate. said: "Your poetry and songs are very good, why don't you give her a name?" ”

"I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get up well......" Cai Yan said.

Lin Nan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, anyway, my daughter must be a beauty who will fall into the country and the city when she grows up, I think I will call him Allure." ”

"Allure...... Good name. Cai Yan said.

Diao Chan and Gong Yifei also thought it sounded good, so they nodded one after another......

"Then call her Gao Chengcheng......" Lin Nan hugged Gao Chengcheng in his arms again. Kiss and kiss, cherish it very much.

In the house, the family was intoxicated with joy, and before they knew it, Lin Nan actually stayed in the room with the child in his arms until dark.

Night falls. Cai Yan and Gong Yifei all went back separately, and in the whole room, only Lin Nan, Diao Chan and their daughter Gao Chengcheng remained.

Under the dim light, Lin Nan reclined on the bed, holding Diao Chan in one hand and his newborn daughter in the other.

"Diao Chan, thank you for your hard work. It hurts me to hear your heart-rending shouts during the day......" Lin Nan turned around and continued to lean on the side of the bed, but he took Diao Chan in his arms, and he held it tighter.

Diao Chan snuggled in Lin Nan's arms, for her, there has been no such warmth for a long time, since she was pregnant, she has rarely been with Lin Nan, which makes her more and more estranged from Lin Nan. However, in her heart, she knew that Lin Nan loved her, and she loved her very much.

Diao Chan rubbed Lin Nan's chest with his head, wrapped his hands around Lin Nan's waist, making himself more comfortable lying on his chest, and said softly: "Master Hou, it is already my greatest happiness to be able to marry Master Hou in my life." When Hou Ye comes back this time, do you still want to go out to fight? ”

"If there is no war, it is time to rest, Bingzhou and Jizhou have just been occupied, many fields are barren, and the people are displaced, so it is time to recuperate. When I'm done with the post-war period, I'll spend a little more time with you. ”

Diao Chan snuggled Lin Nan tighter, lying on Lin Nan's chest, and had a solid support.

Iron-boned tenderness, no matter how iron-clad a man is, he will be melted by the tenderness of a woman, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, which is exactly the truth. However, it has been several days since Lin Nan returned to Jicheng, and all the ammunition he has stored in the past few months has been used on Cai Yan and Gong Fei, and tonight he just wants to sleep peacefully with Diao Chan and shoulder the responsibility of being a husband and a father.

It's just that Lin Nan forgot about it, the newborn baby is the most troublesome, crying several times a night, changing the baby's diaper, feeding the baby, and the tossed Lin Nan and Diao Chan didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Lin Nan was listless, but he had to cheer up and go to the government affairs hall of Yanhou Mansion to deal with some post-war matters.

In the government affairs hall, Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Ouyang Yinying, Xu You, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Cai Yong, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Sima Lang, Zhong Xuan, Wang Xiu, Xiao Ji, Xin Bi, Lu Zhi, Guo Yuan, Wang Lie, Liu Fang, Xu Miao, Sun Li and other wise and resourceful people, these people have rushed to Jicheng from different places to discuss the plan.

"Greetings to my lordship." Everyone saw Lin Nan walk in and said in unison.

Lin Nan saw that the government affairs hall was full of people, so he walked straight to the top position, raised his hand, and said softly: "Everyone sit."

"Thank you, Lord"

Everyone almost sat down together, they have been in Youzhou for a long time in the past few years, and most of these people are used to sitting on a stool, after all, the sitting posture of the Han Dynasty is actually kneeling on the ground, which is very unfavorable to the blood circulation of the legs. Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Lin Nan looked around and said: "Summoning everyone here today, there are very important things to order, and Jizhou and Jizhou have just been occupied, and many things still need to be dealt with, how to recover after the war, how to settle the people, I want to hear everyone's opinions." ”

Among the people here, there are military advisors who are proficient in military strategy, there are also talents who are good at governance, and there are people who have both, although there are not too many of these wise and resourceful people, and their age shows a trend of three generations of old, middle and young, but they can also be regarded as outstanding leaders in Lin Nan's camp......

Cai Yong, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan originally did not participate in politics, but under the protection of Lin Nan, they saw with their own eyes the peace and contentment of the people of Youzhou, and unconsciously, they would also put forward some constructive suggestions.

After the expansion of Jicheng, it has attracted a large number of people to move in, and now Jicheng, the population has reached more than 500,000, in the periphery are cultivated fertile land, build perfect roads, water conservancy facilities are also very complete, within a radius of dozens of miles, Jicheng is like a grain production base.

In addition, Liaodong, Zhuojun and Yuyang counties are also extremely important grain production bases; The animal husbandry in Yunzhou, Changli, Daijun and Shanggu is relatively developed, and the supply of war horses is mainly concentrated in these four counties; And Lelang County, Hancheng County, Tonghua County, Yanji County is too remote, in addition to Lelang County, the other three counties set up during the conquest of Dongyi are developing slowly, although agriculture was introduced, but the local people basically still maintain the original way of life, and the process of sinicization still has a long way to go. Basically, the situation in Youzhou is the result of the joint efforts of these people here.

Xun Chen is an internal talent, as soon as he heard Lin Nan's words, he first spoke: "Qi Yu Lord, the restoration after the war is particularly important, now the whole Jizhou is in a desolate state, some of the people hid in the mountains, some flowed into other states and counties, and his subordinates thought that they could follow the strategy of governing Youzhou, light conscription, thin taxes, wide tuntian, and water conservancy, which naturally made the people gradually return to the land...... Jizhou is vast for thousands of miles, and the land is fertile, and if it takes time, it will surely become the most important place for grain and grass supply. ”

"My subordinates thought that in addition to this, it was still possible to carry out military cantonment, reclaim the land guarded by the soldiers, and carry out strict training while carrying out cantonment, which could also increase the supply of grain and grass." Tian Fengjian said.

After hearing this, Lin Nan nodded, feeling that what the two of them said was good, so he said to Chen Lin, the secretary sitting next to him: "Quasi"

After Chen Lin heard this, he hurriedly waved his pen and wrote down a few lines.

To fight a war, it is the national strength that is fought. The so-called national strength is financial, material and human resources. In ancient times, the amount of grain, grass, money, and population was the national strength of a country...... In addition to having a fixed grain production base, monetary policy is also a rule of survival for a country. (To be continued......)
