Originally, I didn't want to say it, but I was afraid that everyone would think that this book would be a eunuch again, so I had to say a few words. Because of the long-term reversal of the biological clock and fatigue, I have a "nervous tinnitus", as long as I use my brain to think, my ears are like two balls of cotton, and it is still buzzing cotton, so I write very slowly every day...... I swear, this book will never be a eunuch.

**************************

The backyard is quiet. The warm sun sprinkled down from the willow branches that had fallen its leaves, and fell on people's shoulders, making people feel a sense of lazy fatigue. The autumn wind swept up the dead leaves on the ground and rustled along the stone path in the grove. The water lilies in the pond at the end of the trail have lost their verdant greenery and have been replaced by a decaying yellow. The cold dew has passed, and soon the frost will fall; Winter is getting closer.

Shang Cheng was wandering around the woods, thinking about the mess in his head.

According to the plan drawn up by the Wei government, Fan Quan's four cavalry battalions were to enter the grassland from Ruqi Village this morning to harass the four left divisions of the Tuqi Mountains that had gathered in the Baiyu River Valley; The day after tomorrow, Sun Zhongshan's six battalions will also leave Liuzhen, and then sweep all the way north along the banks of Heishui.

Although this military operation focused on the direction of Liuzhen, he did not worry much about the progress of the battle in Yanzhong. At present, in the narrow area from Liuzhen to Yanbian, two brigades and eight battalions of guards and border troops have been concentrated, and more than 10,000 people have set up pocket formations, waiting for the Turks to drill; Under such an arrangement, the enemy who chased the Zhao army to Yanshan to retaliate would definitely not get the slightest benefit. Even if the reaction of the Tuqi people was different from what Wei Fu had predicted in advance, he was not worried that the cold winter was coming, and no matter how arrogant the Tuqi people were by surprise, they would not dare to go south in this season; In addition, Zhang Shao and Sun Huan are both staying in the town, one of these two people is good at planning, the other is experienced in the battlefield, and Sun Zhongshan, who led the troops into the grassland, is both wise and brave, even if there is an unexpected emergency, the three of them can adapt to the situation.

He was worried about Yandong's progress right now. If Li Shen and Fan Quan were greedy for merit, turned a feint attack into a forcible attack, turned harassment into a blow, and tried to quickly turn the snake into a surprise and arouse the vigilance of the Turks, thus causing an adverse impact on the military operation next spring, then the gains really outweighed the losses!

In addition, Shangjing's vague attitude towards the next military action also made him very depressed. The imperial court was reluctant to fight this battle, but the military department expressed its support and approval, and two urgent official documents were delivered to him on the same day, but the contents were diametrically opposed, which was really a headache.

He walked with his head buried, thinking crankily as he went.

The reasons for the military department's support for themselves are obvious. Last year's conquest of the grassland was the first large-scale foreign war in a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and the result was a great defeat, with 60,000 soldiers buried in the desert, and now a victory is urgently needed to boost the low morale; And he is a general promoted by Xiao Jian in the battle, if the war in Ming Chun goes well, then it will be a good thing for Xiao Jian, who is now idle at home, or for other Xiao generals who have great influence in the army. There are also reasons for the imperial court not to want to fight, and behind the official document mentioning that "Yandi Dachuang Li Min was exhausted by the martyrdom and the army", there are hidden reasons such as the aftermath of last year's defeat in the grassland campaign, the brewing plan for the change of the general of the Liyuan battalion and the northern guards, and the personnel adjustment of the three provinces and six ministries that has come with the personnel change of the right prime minister......

Thinking of this, he thought about his own job transfer.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Wang Yi, the Duke of Yiguo; The main thing in the letter is about his transfer. For this matter, Wang Yi has found many people for him, but whether it is the military department or the imperial court, the opinion of the vast majority of people is that they do not want him to leave Yanshan, even if Wang Yi moves out of his eye disease as a reason, the two prime ministers refuse to nod.

Alas, it seems unlikely that he will be able to become a general who only leads troops to fight according to his wishes for a while. He still has to continue to work as the acting Admiral Yanshan. But that's okay, with him, at least the farmland water conservancy project in Yanshan will not be abandoned halfway, and several roads connecting the Central Plains through Quanwei can also be built. With these two benefits, as long as the admirals in the back are not too confused, the lives of the common people will always improve a little. This improvement will be even more pronounced after the Health Department promotes new farming tools and new farming methods throughout the country this winter and next spring......

Before he knew it, he walked out of the grove and to the edge of the pond.

He suddenly noticed someone in the grass pavilion not far away. Two young people, a man and a woman, sat very affectionately around the stone table in the pavilion, bowing their heads and talking about something.

He recognized that the woman in the pavilion was Yang Paner.

Seeing Pan'er concentrating on holding scissors and colored paper twists, he couldn't help but smile on his face. Pan'er has a boyfriend! This hard-working female doll will no longer confine herself in that small world and endure the torture of her soul over and over again! He was like a brother who had heard that his sister had a partner, and he was sincerely happy for her.

He immediately realized that he couldn't bother them at this time. He wondered who the young man with soft feet and a soapy green robe was, and prepared to leave quietly.

At this moment, he heard someone behind him whisper, "...... Master. ”

He turned around and immediately saw two young women standing respectfully on either side of the stone path with their heads bowed and their hands down. He didn't have much impression on the left, and the tall one on the right was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with good skin and beautiful looks, with a round face and peach blossom eyes, and it seemed to be a maid next to Pan'er, but I don't know the name one by one, anyway, it's either Hui'er or Sui'er, or it's a parrot swallow or something......

He put a finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, and whispered, "You young lady is talking to someone, you stand far away, don't disturb her......" As he said that, he waved his hand a few times and motioned for the two little girls to go away.

The two girls were obviously confused by his actions, and looked at each other several times, and the maid named Hui'er or Sui'er had the courage to eat Ai Ai and said, "...... Yes, it was the young lady who asked us to send the tea and fragrant fruits. ”

Shang Cheng noticed that one of the two girls was holding a teapot, and the other was holding a tray with a few fragrant fruit snacks. He nodded and said, "Then you should hurry up." He immediately stopped them, looked into the pavilion and whispered, "Who is that man?" ”

"Male?" The two maids were even more confused, looked around with their eyes open for a long time, and asked with a puzzled face, "Where are the men?" ”

"Who is the man talking to your young lady on the grass pavilion?"

Only then did the two maids know what Shang Cheng was asking. After figuring it out, the two of them's faces immediately turned red, and they lowered their heads and bit their lips vigorously, with an embarrassed look of embarrassment that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. In the end, Hui'er blushed and said, "Master, what ...... Is that...... It's the eldest lady of the Huo family. ”

That man, is it a big girl?

Shang Cheng's mouth opened wide in surprise.

The two maids finally couldn't help it, holding the teapot and holding the tray, and laughing loudly.

Pan'er and the young man in the pavilion heard the movement here and looked over this way.

Now Shang Cheng saw clearly, that young "man" was indeed a big girl. Hey, this guy is inexplicably wearing a man's clothes today, and he can't recognize it at all, and he thought it was Pan'er dating his sweetheart here; Alas, this time the foreign appearance is big! His face was also a little hot, and he said two sentences in his mouth, and he raised his legs and wanted to leave, and a big girl was already calling him:

"Brother Monk!"

It seems that it can't be done. He glared fiercely at the two maids who were still pursing their lips and smiling, turned around and said, "It's a big girl?" Rare guest, which gust of wind blew you here today? ”

The two maids giggled......
