……

After discussing Jizhou Bulio with Xu Wenjing, it was already sunset, and Liu Ce walked out of the school captain's mansion after extinguishing the fire and walked towards his house. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

"Brother Liu, are you back?"

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Song Yanran standing in front of the door of the house and called out to himself happily.

Liu Ce looked at the pretty face, couldn't help frowning, and secretly said What is this?

Song Yanran really lived in her own home as she said that day, and she was like a good wife and mother every day, taking care of her daily life, except that she didn't have a relationship with her, she was basically no different from a husband and wife.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Ce to hate Song Yanran, he has already confirmed that he has true feelings for her, and he also understands Song Yanran's affection for him. However, Liu Ce was scared at this time, especially when he looked at his wives and children who had lost the breadwinners of his family after returning from this battle against Hu Nu, this feeling was even stronger.

The reason why the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion are allowed to start a family and start a career, in addition to all the glamorous and glamorous goodwill faces, what remains is Liu Ce's selfishness and ambition, he wants to use their families as hostages to force the soldiers to obey him and work for himself, this deceives others, can he still deceive himself? Sometimes thinking of all this in the dead of night, Liu Ce couldn't believe that he was such a despicable person.

Now that he is really facing Song Yanran's affection, Liu Ce can only try his best to avoid it, he is afraid that one day he will enter the martyr's shrine like those soldiers, which is too cruel to Song Yanran.

Liu Ce took a long breath and said, "Yanran, it's cold outside, let's go inside." ”

Song Yanran smiled faintly: "The meal has been prepared, Brother Liu come in." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Yanran ......" said Liu Ce who entered the house with her, and Song Yanran took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger.

After Liu Ce sat down, he looked at the table full of delicious food, and couldn't help sighing: "Haven't you already hired a few people?" Why are you still working like this?"

Song Yanran deliberately puffed up and said, "What? Brother Liu thinks my food is not good? ”

Liu Ce laughed a few times when he heard this: "Where, Yanran, your craftsmanship is exquisite, I have really feasted on it these days, seeing that I have gained a few pounds, how can I dislike it?" Where does this begin? ”

"Giggles......" Song Yanran couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Liu Ce's embarrassed appearance, "Okay, tease you, Brother Liu, since I came to the house, you have taken care of me in every way, Yanran has grown so big Except for my mother, you are the first person to be so good to me, and now you are afraid that I am tired and specially hire someone to take care of my daily life, how can Yanran not understand?"

Seeing that Liu Ce didn't speak, Song Yanran continued: "Yanran has nothing to reciprocate, she can only do her best to alleviate some troubles for Brother Liu......"

After speaking, Song Yanran put a bowl of rice for Liu Ce and put it in front of him, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Brother Liu, have you ever drunk aphrodisiac powder in the military camp that day?"

Liu Ce's face turned red, and he secretly said that Cheng Suying was really open-mouthed, and Chen Qing had to be taken care of, but he heard Song Yanran continue: "I have been running for a living since I was a child, and I have also seen the symptoms of men who enter and leave the Qinglou after using aphrodisiac......

After a pause, he said with a smile: "However, I didn't expect Brother Liu to be so tough, in that case, you still respect Yanran like a guest, and you are worthy of General Liu in the Jingwei Battalion that slaughtered Hunu." ”

Liu Ce said embarrassedly: "Actually, I just drank medicinal wine to recuperate my injuries that day, Yanran thought too much......

"Giggle...... Really? Song Yanran smiled again, and then said shyly: "Actually, Brother Liu, you don't need to be so patient, if you really want it, I ...... it."

"Snap"

Liu Ce's chopsticks fell on the table in a panic when he heard her say this, and he hurriedly stopped her and continued: "Yanran, it's not like this, I really just drank medicinal wine at the time, I don't believe that I called Cheng Suying to you and asked, even if it is really an aphrodisiac, I will never do such a thing......"

Song Yanran suddenly smiled and said, "Where does Brother Liu want to go?" I mean, if you can't help it, I'll find a bucket of cold water for you and pour it on you......"

"General Liu, Wen Jing has something to visit, can you open the door to see you."

At the moment when Liu Ce was extremely embarrassed, Xu Wenjing's voice sounded outside the courtyard, and a trace of annoyance appeared on Song Yanran's face, secretly saying that it was really not the right time for Xu Wenjing to come.

Although Song Yanran lived in Liu Ce's house, he was busy with business every day, and he didn't have much time to meet him.

And Liu Ce was overjoyed in his heart, this Xu Wenjing came at the right time, relieved himself of the embarrassing situation, and then said loudly: "The gate of the courtyard is not closed, and the military adviser is at his own convenience." ”

Then she nodded with Song Yanran, and she went back to the room with a resentful face......

"What is the matter with you, Strategist? Do you want to make a personal trip?" As soon as he saw Xu Wenjing enter the house, Liu Ce immediately got up to greet him.

Xu Wenjing didn't reply to Liu Ce's words, looked at the food on the table, and sighed: "The general is so blessed, he just hasn't eaten yet, I don't know if I can sit down and have a gluttony?"

Liu Ce smiled: "Sit down and talk while eating, come here, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks." ”

Xu Wenjing was not polite, sat down directly, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the maid, picked up a mouthful of fish and sent it to his mouth, and then couldn't help but praise: "The fish is tender and smooth, and it has a different taste compared with my Jiangnan." ”

Liu Ce put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after persuading the maid to leave, he said, "Strategist, you can't come here just to eat, right?" Say, is there any progress in Jizhou Bulio? ”

Xu Wenjing stuffed another piece of chicken wings, and only after spitting out the bones did he say: "I can't hide anything from the general, and my subordinates are here for Jizhou Buluo." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms: "General, my subordinates heard that you got the land of the Han River from the Bujia place?"

Liu Ce nodded, this is no secret, it is not impossible for Xu Wenjing to know, he wanted those sites before just to settle a large number of people, and hearing that there are still many mineral sources in the Han River also made him very excited.

"General." Seeing Liu Ce nodding, Xu Wenjing continued, "If the road between the border of the Han Tomb and the Han River is built, and the Han River City is used as a storage place for grain and grass, then there is no need to make a detour back to Yangu to Jizhou!" Don't worry about the Far Eastern clan behind the scenes, what do you think? ”

Liu Ce immediately dodged the cloth and glanced at it, and kept saying: "Wonderful, wonderful, I forgot, the Han River and Jizhou are only more than ten miles apart, which can greatly reduce the itinerary of our army, and prepare grain and straw in the Han River, you can advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and you will not be troubled by transporting grain, military advisor, you should really think carefully......"

Xu Wenjing said with a smile: "However, there is a waterway interception on the border between the Han River and Jizhou, and it is only feasible to prepare ships to transport soldiers and horses." ”

Liu Ce said: "The ship is not a problem, the ship I asked Xu Tong to order in the first half of the year has arrived, and it can come in handy." ”

Xu Wenjing nodded: "In this way, it will be nine out of ten, and only when the generals and soldiers in the army return to the camp, they can attack Jizhou ......"

Liu Ce said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no wine now, otherwise I would like to drink three glasses with the military advisor." ”

Xu Wenjing also smiled: "It's okay, when Jizhou is pacified, the subordinates will pay out of their own pockets and the general will not get drunk and return." ”

……

"Sigh the law ......"

On the Jizhou Plain on the border of the Han River, a bearded man with a scarred face was riding a horse and walking in the wind and snow, his body was covered with the prey obtained from this hunt, followed by three or four horsemen carrying the same people of the same clan who had been caught on this trip.

"Ghost weather, it's really cold......"

One of them, Hu Qi, couldn't help but curse secretly, constantly snorting white gas, and at the same time tightened the leather jacket on his body.

"Begging, don't say a few words, you see Leto didn't say anything......" Another Hu man stopped the Hu man's words.

Begging looked at Leto, who was covered with prey, and was slightly dissatisfied.

"It's really too cold......," Leto said, turning back to the words, "It's so cold until November, and it seems that this winter will not be easy to endure this year......

"Those damn Hulan sluts......" Another sturdy Hulu couldn't help but curse secretly, "If you lose the battle, you want to make us bleed and piss me off!" ”

"No, Lu Yan, you can say a few words! Who makes the family powerful? Leto impatiently stopped his man and continued.

Beggar thought for a while and said: "It's strange to say, why are the officers and soldiers in the Far East so brave this time? Are the Hulan people so embarrassed?"

Leto said coldly: "It's not our business, take these prey and hurry back to the clan, this wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger......"

"What is there to go back to? I went back hungry...... Next year, I will hand over 500 intact skins to the group of Hulan people in the north! Beggar said dissatisfied.

When Leto heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, this Hulan people are really excessive, and they have already made it difficult for the clan in every way on weekdays, and now after this toss, the tribe with less than a thousand people will definitely reduce a lot this year.

Thinking of this, Leto was also a little annoyed: "Enough! Say less! Let's go back! ”

At this moment, Bu Luyan suddenly said: "It's better to take advantage of the condensation of the river now, let's go to Yuanzhou, it's better to loot some grain, grass and cotton clothes than to suffer hunger and cold here!" ”

When the beggar heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked in the direction of the Han River and sighed, this idea is good, as long as you kill it, you can not only grab food, but also rob a few beautiful women to vent.

Although there are also many Da Zhou women in Jizhou, most of them gather around the Hu people who have gradually become Central Plains to seek refuge, and the people of Jizhou are fierce and difficult to start, so why not try their luck in Yuanzhou?

Leto laughed, "Don't dream, just a few of us?" No matter how weak Yuanzhou is, he won't be afraid of our four or fifth people! Besides, if you encounter the army that killed the Hulan people and lost their armor, do you think it is enough for people to stuff their teeth? ”

"Leto, you're really good at laughing!" Beggar immediately said dissatisfiedly, "If we don't go, how will we survive this winter?" How will the 500 mink skins that the Hulan people want next year be gathered?"

Leto was about to get angry when he heard this, when he heard a slight sound of the horse's hooves vibrating, and he became alert.

"Huh~"

Just when Leto was on guard, he only heard a scream that broke through the air, and then he heard the sound of "poof~" metal in his ears, Bu Luyan tightly grasped the crossbow arrow on his neck, and fell off the horse with a face full of disbelief......

"Enemy attack!"

Leto shouted, but he was still answered by the screech of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air, and the sound of the surrounding people hitting the ground.

In an instant, only Leto and Beggar were left in the field, and Leto took off his back bow and shouted in the direction of the horse's hooves: "What man! Sneaky? Come out! ”

"Gurgle~"

In response to the two Hu people, all that was the sound of approaching heavy horses' hooves was getting louder and louder, and the beggar and Leto couldn't see the approaching figure clearly, so they could only put the horned bow in their hands on the arrow and stare ahead.

"Sigh the law ......"

Just when Begging Tuo was only on guard ahead, suddenly a war horse rushed from his right side, and in fear, Begging Tuo shot an arrow to the right side, but when he heard a "ding", his arrow was bounced away by the cavalry on the war horse with a knife......

"Ah......h

Just as he was about to take out the second arrow, he felt a cold light flash in the wind and snow, accompanied by a whirling of snow, and his left wrist was cut off in unison, and a stream of hot blood splashed in the goose-feathered snow......
