In the east hall of Ganfu, Zhang Sanfeng and Mrs. Gan sat on the head, Gan Fu accompanied the prime minister, and the champion Hou's wife Yang and several maids stood on both sides.

Zhang Sanfeng was listening to Xiao Gantang's situation in the past three years, and only listened to Yang's words: "Since the full moon three years ago, Gantang has had a fever every three or five days, and every time he has a high fever, he can reduce the fever in one or two hours by applying cold water to his eyebrows. It's just that I can't sleep peacefully, and I often wake up from nightmares. Gantang can speak in three months, and he can walk in half a year. In the early days, when I first could speak, his accent was not the local official dialect of Jiankang, but like the accent of the northern region, and then it gradually became the same as us. Most of the words we say don't understand well, such as 'oil', 'stocks', 'web pages' and so on. During the day, he often spends time alone in a daze. Half a year ago, the number of fevers gradually decreased, and the intervals became longer and longer. Other than that, there was nothing else to do, and his body was strong. ”

Zhang Sanfeng smiled after hearing this, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't get in the way, call the little boy, and I'll take him around the garden." ”

After a while, I saw a child with pink makeup and jade being led in by a mother-in-law.

The old lady looked at Xiao'er lovingly and said, "Be obedient to Sun, quickly see your grandfather Zhang." ”

I saw this little man bowing to Zhang Sanfeng in a serious manner, and said: "Gan Tang has seen Grandpa Zhang." Grandpa Zhang has something to explain, Gan Tang listened. ”

Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw his small appearance, and patted him lightly on the top of his head: "There's nothing to explain, but are you interested in walking outside with Lao Dao?" ”

"Gan Tang listens to Grandpa Qiu's teachings."

said that Zhang Sanfeng took Gan Tang's little hand and walked towards the back garden.

In the weather of the wax moon, the scenery in the garden is inevitably a little monotonous, and one old and one young walk on the garden path with the snow. Qiu Chuji saw the maid and the maid following from a distance, and the distance could not hear the conversation between the two, and then said: "Do you often dream when you sleep and see something different from now?" The scene is very different from the dream, and you can't tell which is real and which is dreamy?"

Gan Tang's heart was shocked, since he was sensible, he had encountered the situation and his parents and many other people have told him, they just said that he had a dream demon, this situation has been bothering him, he has not been able to understand, and his head will hurt if he thinks too much. I often hear some people say that they are fools in private. This is the first time anyone has understood their predicament.

Gan Tang was the first person to know himself when he met him, and a huge grievance was released in his heart and he cried loudly.

Zhang Sanfeng squatted down and patted Gan Tang's back gently, and after Gan Tang's crying stopped, he said: "Don't get in the way, you are no different from others, but you know more things from dreams than others, so you are better than others, don't care what other people think of you, you just need to know that there are so many people who love you and care for you." Don't talk about what you dreamed about with other people, including my parents and me. This is an advantage you have over others. This is a heavenly machine, and the heavenly machine cannot be revealed. "Promise me?"

Gan Tang nodded obediently. Zhang Sanfeng stretched out his hand to hug Gan Tang and said, "Figured it out?" Let's go back when we figure it out, shall we? ”

The old and young returned to the West Hall, and Zhang Sanfeng said to Gan Taijun: "I will accept Gan Tang as an apprentice, not seeking what kind of master I can become, but seeking to be able to strengthen my body, and have a little self-preservation ability in this troubled era, I don't know what the old lady wants?" ”

The old lady hesitated and said, "It's just that our husband and wife are your registered disciples, and Master Zhang accepts Tang'er as an apprentice, will it mess up the generations?" Do you want to go to Wudang Mountain with you after apprenticeship? It's just that how to arrange your studies? ”

Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly: "The so-called master and apprentice are just convenient for passing on the business, how can you care about the false name!" Besides, born in this troubled world, how can I let him become a Jianghu person! Don't follow me, I will borrow a month in the house to help him boil his muscles, I see that there are many weaknesses in the defense of the house, I will repair the book and order a few apprentices to come to the house, while making a caretaker for the old lady, while teaching Gantang martial arts, what do you think? ”

Gan Lao Taijun said: "The old fairy is thoughtful, the old body is grateful to the old fairy, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and ask Gan Tang to worship the old fairy door wall." ”

In the blink of an eye, on the New Year's Day, since the beginning of the year, the Champion Hou Mansion, the Jizhong Hou Mansion, the Qimen Hou Mansion, the Wuyi Lane of the Qinhuai River and even the entire Jiankang have been filled with fireworks and deafening firecrackers.

In the East Wing Holding Academy, candles were also lit. Gan Tang wore a white robe and a orangutan felt cloak, standing in the courtyard, smiling and looking up, looking at the fireworks in the sky.

"Little young master------- "The maid Mozhu wore a red silk jacket and a blue satin tooth pinching vest, hurriedly ran out of the house, and complained when she saw Gan Tang, and said: "It's still night, the wind is so cold, what should I do if I blow typhoid fever?" The little young master was not in good health--- chattered a lot, picked up Gantang and returned to the room. ”

A few days ago, after Gan Tang officially worshipped Zhang Sanfeng as his teacher, he invited the old Hanlin Qian Zheng, who had just left his post, from the Hanlin Academy, and asked Gan Tang to worship his disciples to learn literature.

This old Hanlin is also a wonder, he grew up in a poor family, and at the age of eight, he won the Shaoxing Mansion Xie Yuan, breaking the record of the Great Xia Imperial Examination. This is amazing, Shaoxing Mansion has always been the most difficult house in the Daxia Township test, and Qian Zheng became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. This time, Qian Zheng seemed to have used up a lifetime of luck, and two years later, he participated in the examination but lost his name to Sun Shan, which caused another sensation in the world. After that, it gradually disappeared from people's field of vision, until sixty years later, Qian Zheng was sixty-eight years old but he won the first place in the high school entrance examination, and then some people remembered that this Huiyuan was the first prodigy in Daxia sixty years ago, and he was talked about by people. Who knows the bitterness and bitterness of this center. For the imperial examination, Qian Zheng was poor all his life and never married. Participated in the palace examination and won the Jinshi, into the top ten, Emperor Suzong felt his persistence, and pointed to the top three flowers. It is specially named as Hanlin as the editor. Because he didn't know the current affairs, he left his job in less than half a year.

Gan Fu saw that although this Qian Hanlin was not sophisticated, his knowledge was solid, so he entrusted him with his family studies.

Because during the Chinese New Year, the class of clan studies has not yet started, and Gan Tang has to stay up sooner or later, so he invited Qian Hanlin to preview in advance. So it was inconvenient to live with her mother Yang Lu, so Mrs. Gan ordered someone to vacate the small courtyard where the original Gan Fu's study was located, so that Gan Tang's master and apprentice could move in and live.

Although they have only been together for a few days, Mozhu seems to have figured out Gantang's character.

A few days ago, when I heard that the old lady was going to choose a maid, mother-in-law, and a little maid for Gantang, the entire Hou Mansion took action, this is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the first prince of Great Xia. Originally, after she learned about the new errand, she was going to do a big job, but the young -------master who could be convinced didn't need her to obey much, and the little people dressed and quieted their faces by themselves, so how could they not let themselves be discouraged.

On this day, Gan Tang rested, and came to the old lady's residence to accompany the old lady to relieve his boredom, and before he could say a few words, he only heard the little maid outside shouting: "Old lady, the second wife is here!" ”

When the old lady heard this, the smile on her face faded a lot.

The second wife is the wife of Gan Shenzi Gan Chao in the West Courtyard, her maiden surname Li is the daughter of the Li family, her father Li Xian is the prefect of Fujian, and the Li family is a refusal to settle down.

Lao Taijun was born in the Lu family in Jiangnan, and he pays the most attention to everyone's rules, where can he tolerate the rudeness of the Li family, and go down to the family law. Li went back to his parents' house and cried, wanting his father to make decisions for himself, only in exchange for two big slaps. Li Xian carefully told his daughter the history of the Gan family, and personally came to the door to apologize, which made the old lady angry, and the Li family was careful, and in the future, he would not dare to take it big.

On this day, I heard that the old lady invited the old fairy Zhang Sanfeng to teach Gantang for Gantang, so he came to the East Courtyard to see the situation, in addition to the accompanying maid mother-in-law, his eldest daughter Gan Yan, the eldest son Gan Shun and other descendants of the Gan family in Beijing Seven or eight people, the youngest Gan Shuo is just one and a half years old, is learning to speak, is the youngest son of the four-room Gan Kun, to a generation older than Gantang.

Li knew that Lao Taijun didn't like him, but Gan Shuo, the youngest grandson who was the most painful except Gan Tang, went to the fourth room and brought several children from the fourth room to see Lao Taijun.

Several granddaughters and grandchildren first greeted the old lady and greeted each other with Gantang. The old lady asked someone to carry Gan Shuo to the kang and coaxed the little grandson to speak.

Gan Hu in the third room has always been naughty and active, and he couldn't sit still in the house, so he pulled Gantang to talk outside the porch. Different from Gantang Sven, Gan Hu is like his name, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, a small body and strong bones, although Gantang is three months younger, but half a head taller than Gantang.

"I heard that I will go to the clan school after the year, don't be afraid, someone will bully you, there is me!" Gan Hu waved his little arm and said righteously.

Gan Tang only thought it was funny: "It's okay for me to be older, although you are an uncle." ”

Gan Hu rolled his eyes and showed an expression of "you are stupid": "I know that I am an uncle, so I want to protect you." ”

At this time, a maid called the two of them in, and the old lady spoke, asking Gan Hu to wait for Gan Tang to ask Qian Hanlin for teaching and asking questions with Gan Tang in the past few days, and preparing for school after the year. It turned out that it was the Li family who mentioned it to the old lady that he could not be his own children and be taught by the old fairy Zhang Sanfeng.

The old lady said clearly, then the boys from the three to twelve years old of the Gan family went to the study together to learn from Qian Hanlin, as for whether Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren were willing to teach, they could not be forced.

Since Gan Tang moved here a few days ago, the children of the Gan family in Jingzhen have all been sent to learn civil and martial arts from the two elders, and there are more than 20 people. The small courtyard, which had been vacant for two years, was very lively. Everyone else came early and went late, only Gan Tang got up in the morning to learn martial arts from Qiu Zhenren, learned literature from Qian Zheng in the afternoon, and was soaked in medicinal herbs by Zhang Zhenren for an hour at night.

Just when Gantang was studying in Jiankang with peace of mind, the Bashu River was in flames of war.

In the third year of Suzong in Great Xia, the war extended from the north of Chongqing to the south of Chongqing, Gan Feng led 50,000 forbidden troops from Layuelow, 20,000 Yangtze River sailors, and 30,000 Miao Zhuang Teng armor soldiers arrived in Chongqing in early March after a two-month long journey, Chongqing was called Yuzhou since the Han Dynasty, and Yuzhou was changed to Chongqing when Guangzong of Great Xia.

After Gan Feng arrived, he immediately sent Kuaima to summon the garrisons of the five states of Neijiang, Zhuning, Nanchong, Dazhou, Hezhou, and Shunan that had not been captured to come to Chongqing to discuss matters.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Gan Fenggan beat the drum in the Chongqing Prefecture to gather generals, and more than 20 generals, including Yu Yu, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan garrison, Peng Daya, the deputy envoy of the Nanning Road Observation Clan, Wang Jian, the garrison of Hezhou, Ganrun, the garrison of Neijiang, the garrison Ran Jin of Suizhou, the garrison Shen Chen of Nanchong, the garrison of Dazhou, Pan Yuqing, the garrison of Chongqing, Zhang Yu, the general of the forbidden army, Shi Rong, Gao Qing, Peng Jie, etc., gathered in the tent.

At three o'clock, Gan Feng saw that all the generals had gathered, opened the map and said: "It has been forty years since the Yan State attacked Sichuan, and you have made great achievements in the past forty years, but the eighteen states in northern Sichuan and western Sichuan have all been lost. According to reliable information, the Yan people sent 200,000 troops this time, led by Helian Kuo, the Great Khan of Yan State. For the sake of secrecy, after listening to your mission, you can return to your barracks, and you are not allowed to inquire about anything else. ”

"No"

The generals agreed in unison;

Gan Feng picked up the token and called: "Neijiang guards Ganrun; After receiving the order, you returned to Neijiang, and evacuated the old and weak people around Neijiang to Chongqing, and evacuated to Hezhou. If the Yan people attack Neijiang, they must hold on for ten days and withdraw to Jiangjin after ten days. Ran Jin, Shen Chen, and Pan Yuqing will have the same garrison mission as Gan, and they will also evacuate the old and weak to Chongqing, and the light and strong to Hezhou. It's just that they have to hold on to Suizhou, Nanchong, and Dazhou for fifteen to one month, and then retreat to Changshou, Fengdu, and Wanzhou respectively. The fourth general can go back and prepare. ”

After waiting for the four generals to take the order, he said: "The old general Yu Jue, the deputy envoy Peng Daya, the deputy envoy of Nanning Road Observation Gan Guan, the Hezhou garrison Wang Jian, and the Chongqing garrison Zhang Yu are left, and the other generals are scattered." ”

After everyone else left, Gan Feng hugged his fists to the old general Yu Yu and said: "Old General Yu, Gan Feng entrusts these hundreds of thousands of old and weak to the general, and hopes that the general will hold this Chongqing city, and the 50,000 forbidden troops I brought from Jiankang will be left to the old general 20,000, and the original Chongqing City 30,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 50,000." And leave the three generals Shi Rong, Gao Jin, and Peng Jie to the old generals to use. ”

Yu Jue laughed: "Gan Shuai rest assured, because of this, 50,000 soldiers and horses, backed by the Yangtze River, can no longer hold Chongqing, won't it become a wine bag and rice bag." ”

"Good".

Gan Feng also pointed to a mountain recess more than ten miles north of Hezhou on the map, and said to Peng Daya, the deputy envoy of the system: "Peng Zhizhi, the 200,000 light and strong withdrawn from the four cities such as Neijiang will be handed over to you, and the city will be cast here, and the back of the mountain is here, and only the city walls need to be built on the northwest two sides. ”

After speaking, he said to Wang Jian: "General Wang, you and General Zhang Yu are both good generals, and the remaining 30,000 forbidden troops and 5,000 soldiers and horses in Hezhou who came with me, with you as the main general and General Zhang Yu as the deputy, will guard Hezhou first, and wait for Ambassador Peng to complete the construction of Mangshan New Town, and move to this new city for defense." Demolish Hezhou City, and transport the Hezhou City Wall Stone to the new city for defending the city. This newly built city was built to guard the south of the Yangtze River, so let's call him Zhennanguan. The general is the key to this war, and it is hoped that the general can resist the 200,000 army of Yan for more than half a year. The general may put up my banner and confuse the enemy-------------------。 Uncle Ganguan, you lead 30,000 Miao Zhuang Teng soldiers to garrison the naval army camp, and when Neijiang and other four cities cannot hold on, send troops to withdraw. I ------------- this battle like this, and only the five of us know the whole plan, and we are not allowed to pass it on to the sixth. ”

The three of them said in unison: "Gan Shuai rest assured." ”

March of the fourth year of the Great Xia Suzong.

The grassland army began to attack Neijiang, Suizhou, Nanchong, Dazhou, and Zhennanguancheng, and surrounded the five cities in southeast Sichuan. The battle to defend Zhennan Pass began.
