Chapter Ninety-Six

The Chen army was defeated in the Xisai Mountain Battle, the Zhou army did not wait for the Chen army to breathe and then invaded the south, the Zhou State Bazhou assassin Shi Yuwen Wen led the troops to attack all parts along the river, Yingzhou Xiakou through Wuchang to Huangshiji to Jiangzhou Huangkou, along the river Fengsui Sentinel Fort was uprooted.

Zhou Farshang, the governor of Zhou Guohengzhou and the head of the navy, led the navy to defeat the Chen army's left-behind fleet at the mouth of Pengli Lake in Jiangzhou, and destroyed the Jiangzhou water village before the downstream Chen Guoshui army arrived, and many shipyards on the shore of Pengli Lake were also burned.

The stronghold of the Chen army along the Yangtze River from Xiakou to Huangkou has entered the Zhou army.

Under the attack range of the Zhou army, a small group of Chen troops was constantly encroached, and they had to shrink their forces to defend several important riverside strongholds, and the reinforcements everywhere were exhausted, and they were tired for more than ten days.

Just when Chen Guo\ the army and the people were all soldiers, and the wind was loud, the Zhou army suddenly retreated back to Jiangbei, like a well-fed tiger returning to the nest to rest.

The news spread all the way to Jiankang, and when it arrived in Taicheng, it was already "the official army fought back, and the Zhou army suffered heavy losses and fled north in a hurry", "The Sui army broke through Jingzhou in Shannan, and the rest of the states were in danger, and the Zhou army was mobilizing heavy troops to fight to the death".

However, there are more attractive news in Jiankang City, such as "the enemy commander Yuwen Wen fell from his horse with an arrow, broke a leg and became a one-legged", "This fang intended to do evil to a people's woman, and the martyr struggled to resist and bite off her life", "The one-legged bronze man exploited the soldiers very heavily, provoked a mutiny and was hacked to death with a knife, and his flesh was eaten by the soldiers" and so on.

It is rumored that this Yuwenwen is the culprit of the Zhou army's attack on Jiangnan, so many people are arranging various stories intentionally or unintentionally, of course, there are more exaggerated and outrageous stories, but in view of the vulgar content, it has not been circulated among the public.

All kinds of news were disturbed, but Chen Guo was finally sure that the Zhou army had stopped, and the war between Zhou and Sui began to heat up, from the Yellow River to the Huai River Valley, no one thought of Chen Guo south of the Yangtze River, so the song and dance could continue......

Xiyang City, in the grain depot, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen is smiling and watching the autumn grain into the warehouse, it is rumored that he provoked a mutiny and was eaten, but now he is all bearded and full tail and people "talk and laugh".

The state adjutant did not drive Xu Shao, Hao Wubo in the middle of the government, and even took the main Bo Zhengtong to lose weight again, for the autumn harvest and the storage of autumn grain, these officials who led the state government were busy and almost broke their legs.

The vigorous autumn harvest has ended, and now the autumn grain is safely put into storage, and the final statistical results have also come out, and the grain harvested this year is the same as last year, of course, the share of the Tian family.

The numbers are unremarkable, but considering the rare rainstorms of this year's rainy season, which caused paddy fields to lodging, this is a very good result.

If there is no new water conservancy facilities this year, Bazhou's harvest this year will be reduced by at least 30 percent, according to this calculation that there is no impact of heavy rain, deducting Tian's new payment should increase by 20 percent this year, although there are some regrets but everyone is happy.

From this year onwards, the Tian family has also paid the corresponding rent, and this local tyrant, who has been taking care of himself for many years, has softened, and now has become another powerful minions of Shi Yuwen Wenwen.

Bahe City was originally Lu's territory, and it was also not paid rent over the years, and after being stabbed at the beginning of this year, the fields outside Bahe City were distributed to the soldiers of the Hulin Army who made meritorious contributions, and they did not have to pay rent this year as a preferential treatment.

A year's efforts have not been in vain, the harvest of the coming year is already predictable, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, then next year's harvest will definitely increase, because there is a lot more wasteland outside Xiyang City that can be cultivated.

The Santai River in the northeast of Xiyang City floods during the rainy season, and with the two large lakes outside the city and scattered lakes and ponds, the amount of farmland on the Bazhou boundary that can be undisturbed by flooding is relatively small.

Now the embankment on the south bank of the Santai River has played a huge role, together with a series of canals and other water conservancy facilities, the wasteland on the south bank of the Santai River can finally be reclaimed with confidence, not only that, but the people all know that the state government is about to organize manpower and material resources to build the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River, and then the wasteland on the north bank will also be reclaimed into fertile land.

"You have worked hard, this official led the troops to fight abroad, and the affairs of the state have to be shared by you." Yuwen Wen said sincerely, he is a war maniac as his boss, so the rear affairs are handed over to a few adjutants to share, and it is also a loss to a few people who have not made any big news.

"Where the duty lies, how hard it is." Xu Shao smiled, he and Uncle Hao Wu are both children of official eunuchs, and after entering the office, they handled various state affairs as adjutants, and now they have a lot of feelings for nearly a year.

Yuwen Wen began to shake his head when he heard this: "No, no, no, many officials and officials have a vegetarian meal, and their lives are the same, but they suffer the people." ”

"The envoy is right, if everyone in the world is attentive, the life of the people will be much better." Hao Wubo expressed his opinion.

Parents official, it sounds very majestic, but the responsibility on his shoulders is also very heavy, he is full of poetry and books to be an official is not for the sake of the people, although the history of a state is a legitimate parent official, but assisted by the history of the assassin for the benefit of the people, the sense of accomplishment is also full.

"I've been busy for almost a year, and now that the autumn grain is in storage, the two of them can take leave to go home to visit their relatives, so as not to let their families say that the officials don't understand people." Yu Wenwen began to fulfill his promise, and the two adjutants were 'arbitrarily driven' by him, and they didn't have a break for a year in Bazhou, and they really didn't want to go.

"The autumn harvest is over, and the people are about to be organized to open up the wasteland, how can the lower officials escape from the battle?" Xu Shao is now full of energy, the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River is about to be built, thinking that the Santai River, which has been suffering for many years, is about to be effectively managed, his joy is beyond words.

Also said that he could not retreat from the battle and Hao Wubo, who has been addicted to extinguishing snails, has been emphasizing that the flood discharge on the north bank of the Santai River is likely to have snails, and if the relevant extinguishing work cannot be carried out in time, it will affect the follow-up work of land reclamation.

"It's okay, just arrange it, the two of you will go home to visit your parents first, who knows if there will be time in a few months, it's hard to say." Yu Wenwen didn't care, "And the official himself is in charge, who dares to mess around?" ”

"Besides, isn't there still Zheng Zhubo......?"

Xiyang County Mansion, outside the study, Yuwen 15 couldn't help nodding, the guards and servants who passed by took a detour when they saw this, and even Zhang Yu, who was waiting at the door, pretended to ignore it with a bitter face.

Yuwen fifteen is the confidant servant of Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, and the only one who can reprimand him like this in the mansion is Lord Lang Yuwenwen, of course, Mrs. Yu Chi can also do it, but it is rare.

In addition, there are two people who can be reprimanded like this, one is the old man and Yu Wenliang, the prince of Qiguo, and the other is his father Yu Wenji, and now it is Yu Wenji who is going crazy.

"Lord Lang asked, why don't you share your worries for Erlang Jun, those unbearable rumors have reached Lord Lang's ears!" Yuwen Ji reprimanded in a low voice, but Yuwen Fifteen just said with a bitter face that he couldn't stop it.

"I can't stop and persuade you, this reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to do it in the future." Yu Wenji was heartbroken, Erlang Jun Yu Wenwen didn't seem to care about his reputation, because Chen Guo suffered heavy casualties because of the soldiers used to fight Chen, and now the other party has made up a lot of rumors to spread around, in order to ruin Yu Wenwen's reputation.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't matter, it's just that Erlangjun doesn't know what's going on, and he came up with a so-called text with strange writing, which is really ridiculous and generous, Yuwen Liang, who was far away in Jingzhou and led the troops, saw the content, except for crying and laughing or crying and laughing.

"Lord Lang can only be calmed down by the old Lord Lang, where can I stop it" Yuwen fifteen thought, of course he didn't dare to say it, he saw his father like a mouse seeing a cat, but he couldn't stop nodding: "The child has been persuaded, but Lord Lang didn't listen, saying that it was going to shock the world."

Yu Wenji was speechless when he heard this, he watched Lord Lang's eldest son and second son grow up, the two brothers originally had similar personalities, but after this Erlang Jun got married, he suddenly seemed to be a different person.

He can't say exactly what has changed, it's just his feelings, but Erlangjun's indifferent reputation behavior is surprising, not that what he does is a sideshow, but that he is a bit maverick, and he doesn't know what the reputation of the accident world is.

Yuwen Ji is not surnamed Yuwen, and he doesn't even know who his parents are, he is an orphan displaced in the war, and he was taken in by the young Yuwen Liang to become a slave, because of his repeated military exploits, he followed the surname of 'Yuwen', and his name was taken from the horse-related 'Ji'.

Yuwen Liang is his Lang master, and his son Yuwen Fifteen is considered a family child, because he was born on the fifteenth with this name, he grew up with Erlang Jun Yuwen Wen Wen since he was a child, of course, Erlang Jun is afraid that only the Lang master can be calm, so he can only 'remind' his son to be dutiful.

Yuwen Fifteen saw that his father's words didn't seem to be able to catch up, so he quickly diverted the topic, he felt that the old man specially sent his father to Bazhou, who was a personal guard, could it be something terrible.

"The battle situation is unfavorable, Lord Lang asked Chief Manager Deng to gather the troops of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion to stand by, don't send troops to provoke Chen Guo again." Yu Wenji said that the matter of confidentiality should not be leaked, but his son would know about it from Erlangjun sooner or later, so he did not hide it.

"Then why make a special trip" Yuwen came back to his senses before he finished speaking, the old man was afraid that Mr. Deng would not be able to suppress the lord Lang to collect the troops, so he specially sent his father to bring a letter over to 'order'.

"So Lang is the main Erlang Jun to stay in Bazhou honestly" Yu Wenji sighed, "The Sui army is the big trouble, and now the war situation is stalemate, and the Huangzhou army is used to fight fires, so it can't be entangled with Chen in Jiangnan." ”

Just when Yuwen fifteen father and son were muttering outside the door, Yuwen Wen looked at the letter in the study with a solemn expression: the battle situation is stalemate, his father strictly ordered him to collect troops and guard in Bazhou, and the troops of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion cannot be entangled by the Chen army, and must be used as a reserve for Shannan states just in case.

"The battle situation is unfavorable, the battle situation is unfavorable" Yuwen muttered to himself, put the letter on the bookcase and got up and walked back and forth, his father asked him to collect the troops and stop attacking the city, it didn't matter because he also planned to let the soldiers rest, but the battle situation in the north was worrying.

The Sui army had mastered the secrets of gravity catapults, and now they were widely involved in city defense operations, so that the siege warfare became a tug-of-war of numbers, which was only two years after the gravity catapults were put into actual combat.

It doesn't matter to Yu Wenwen, the principle of the gravity catapult can be understood at a glance, and it is worth it to hide it for two years, the key is that the battle situation is somewhat unfavorable, the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion of the Sui State was attacked by the Zhou army from east to west, but the performance of the generals of the Yuzhou army was very active.

First of all, Sima Huangfu, the governor of Yuzhou, uprooted the Zhou State in Yuzhou, and Sima Huang, the governor of Bozhou of Zhou, attacked Yuzhou by surprise, and the result was a failure to attack the state to govern the hanging gourd.

And Zhou Shao, the governor of Yuzhou, was not idle, he personally led the elite cavalry to march west day and night, and almost succeeded in attacking the grain and grass gathering place of the southern army of Zhou Guoshan.

"It's so dangerous, I almost burned the grain and grass for the Sui army, if it is really burned, the army will have to retreat." Yuwenwen was a little afraid of the battle situation in the north, without food and grass, any elite soldiers and strong generals would be finished, and it was also a loss to the Shannan Zhou army that was heavily guarded, and did not let the Sui army that attacked at night succeed.

"If you are flanked by someone, you can take the initiative to attack with ease, and sure enough, the cavalry that moves is the king!" He still remembers the cavalry, and the cavalry with superior mobility is moving with four or two thousand pounds, "I don't know when the powerful cavalry can enter my body" (to be continued. )
