On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuangzi was naturally very lively, and Li Ze's right-hand men all dragged their families to pay New Year's greetings to him, and even Shi Zhuang returned to Zhuangzi to reunite with his son after setting up the secret camp.

In previous years, the Chinese New Year was not as prosperous as this year, and the key was Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang's temperament is cold, and she doesn't like to make trouble, after everyone comes to the door, they all sit down slightly, and they will say goodbye with interest, this year is very different, Li Che came to the door to make a fuss, but let Li Ze's mother and son untie the knot, last night the mother and son ate a New Year's dinner affectionately, and kept vigil together until the early hours of the morning, and finally took some bamboo and threw it into the roaring fire outside, and after listening to the crackling sound, they went back to sleep peacefully.

A large group of people arrived at Ming Academy, but they had not yet sat down, and Xia Zhu, who was quietly living in the house, came over to pass the word, saying that Mrs. wanted to meet the daughter-in-law of the big guy, and Jingxinju also prepared a meal to entertain them.

At this time, most people get married very early, but Li Ze's subordinates were originally fighting one by one, and they used to have kung fu to find a daughter-in-law, that is, when they went to Zhuangzi, and slowly stabilized, they got together to have wives and children, like Tu Lichun, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old person, a son and a daughter, the eldest was only six years old, and the younger was only four years old. The rest of them are all about the same age.

"Childe, I didn't expect Mrs. to meet the mother-in-law doll at home, and I didn't bring any gifts to Mrs. Tu Lichun stood up and said with some uneasiness.

"What kind of gift do you want, my mother is cold, and after a long time, it's not good for the body. Your daughter-in-law doll to accompany her to have a lively time, it is the best gift, go quickly, there is a group of old men left, just let go of drinking, chatting and bragging." Li Ze smiled and waved his hand: "Xia He, you also go to the back to help take care of it, you don't need it here."

"I'm not looking after it, okay?" Xia He hesitated.

"What's not going to work, you're not here, they're more open." LI Zedao.

"Miss Xia He, you help me watch Shi Ping, he is alone, and he is a naughty and mischievous character, don't let him disturb Madame." Shi Zhuang arched his hand.

Xia He nodded, took Shi Ping with one hand, and went out with a group of women and dolls to Jingxin Residence.

There were three tables in the Ming Book Garden, and the four brothers of Chen Changping were also called over, but Chen Changping was the only one who could sit at Li Ze's table, and on the day Li Che came, his archery skills were amazing, and sitting on the main table at this moment did not make some other old people feel uncomfortable.

After all, people also rely on their ability to eat.

It's just that compared to the others, they still seem a little out of place, and they seem a little taciturn at the table. The best eloquence on the table is Tu Hu, who has been running around for many years, and the people he deals with are also varied, so he naturally has experienced it, talking about all kinds of anecdotes outside, painting and coloring, and listening to everyone is relishing. After all, almost all the people here are nested in this small village all year round, and when they go far, they only go to the county, and only Tu Lichun sometimes goes back to Zhenzhou.

Closed information and poor circulation are the characteristics of this era. Even Li Ze, the images of various places are still in the memories of the previous life, but time has passed, how can this time be the same as the next life?

"Second Brother Tu, tell us about Lu Long's current military form!" Chen Changping, who had been drinking silently, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the room was quiet, in fact, the people in this room were also very concerned about this issue.

The current little boy is very different from the little boy of the past. Looking at this trend, it is an undoubted fact that the little boy will go out of the mountain to fight with someone. Things have come to this point, even if you don't fight, people will come to the door, and the people who can sit in this room are basically tied to Li Ze in honor and disgrace in this life, Li Ze is good, they will naturally be good.

Tu Hu glanced at Li Ze and saw that Li Ze nodded, so he put down his chopsticks and said: "Lu Long's side, the heart of the soldiers and horses, the heart of disobedience has long been Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. But the opponents they face are also unusually strong. Hedong Gao Yu will not talk about it, he has restrained Lu Long's main force, in my opinion, the decisive battle is between Lu Long and Hedong, as for our side, it can be regarded as a partial division!"

Shen Congxing stood up, poured wine for everyone on the table, and said, "I heard that after the spring sowing on our side, we will join forces with Zhenwu, and Henghai will take the lead in launching an attack on Lu Long's Yingzhou, and Lu Long and Zhang Zhongwu will not be aware?"

"How is this possible?" Tu Hu said with a smile: "Chengde, Henghai, and Zhenwu have mobilized such a big movement of the troops, how can Lu Long's side not know about it?" But what if you know? His troop allocation can not be adjusted in a short period of time, there are too many aspects involved here. However, Zhang Zhongwu had already arranged men and horses in Yingzhou, and his fierce general Shi Jing was stationed in Yingzhou, with 3,000 armor soldiers and 10,000 soldiers. Looking at Zhang Zhongwu's strategy, it is to concentrate on fighting Gao Biao to the death, if he defeats Gao Biao, the three families on our side will unite, but I am afraid that they will soon be scattered."

"In this way, in fact, in the battle of Yingzhou, do we have a big chance of winning?" Shen Congxing frowned.

Tu Hu's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Theoretically, that's the case. After all, after the three families are united, the armor alone can exceed 10,000, and the government soldiers can reach 50,000, which is the absolute upper hand in terms of troops."

The people in the house probably discussed this matter in private, I don't know how many times, of course, it is very clear that if the coalition forces here win a big victory, it will actually be unfavorable to Li Ze. On Chengde's side, it had already been decided that Li Che would lead the army to the expedition, and Jiedu would send Li Anguo to Shenzhou as a backup. And Shenzhou was originally the territory of Li Che's mother's family, Li Che led the army independently this time, Shenzhou will definitely do everything to help him succeed, as long as he succeeds, Li Che's status in Chengde will never be shaken in the slightest.

This is a very contradictory thing, do you want to say that everyone is looking forward to success or failure? Everyone really doesn't have this mind, but if Chengde wins, they really won't have a good life. When the time comes, it will be strange that Li Che, who has returned from success, does not clean up the little son. And at that time, I'm afraid that Yizhou Cao Xin will not be as warm and ambiguous as it is now.

"It seems that the soldiers are strong, but if they really fight, they really can't tell!" Li Ze raised his wine glass and motioned for everyone to drink: "The three families sent troops, but there was no unified command, but they fought separately, which is a bit unreliable in itself, in fact, it is better to do it as a family, now everyone you point to me, I point to you, between each other, different hearts, different intentions, one careless, is the end of the defeat. Shi Zhuang, do you think I have a point?"

Shi Zhuang nodded and said: "What Gongzi said is right, the three families said that they were jointly sending troops, in fact, they each have their own interests, usually between each other, they were already fighting, and now because of Lu Long, a strong enemy, they are reluctantly united, in my opinion, if there is a chance to cut each other, I am afraid that everyone will not hesitate, and I will not hide from Gongzi that I am not optimistic about this joint army. I heard Tu Da say that Shi Jing is not easy to get along with. There was such an opportunity in front of him, and it was strange that he didn't take advantage of it."

When Shen Congxing heard this, his face relaxed, "According to my intentions, it would be harmless for the coalition to lose a small defeat, but for us, it is good news. As long as Gao Yu's side wins, it's fine."

Everyone just laughed, this is true, but no one will say it like Shen Congxing.

"The matter on Lu Long's side, we are still far away, we still have to do our best. If you are strong, then no one is afraid, Chen Bing, you tell everyone about Wuyi, so that everyone is happy, the New Year, don't make it so heavy, right?" Li Ze smiled at Chen Bingdao.
