Inside the Imperial City.

"How? Have all the rewards given to the soldiers been handed out? How did they react? Seeing Ma Chao and the others walking in, Zhang Ning wrapped the cloak on his body, looked at them with a smile and asked.

"The queen mother doesn't know, those soldiers were all stunned when they saw Erchen appear......" As soon as Zhang Ning's words fell, before Ma Chao could speak, a somewhat immature voice sounded.

This is obviously a very rude behavior, but in this regard, neither Ma Chao, Wang Yi nor Zhang Ning has any intention of blaming the person. On the contrary, their eyes when they looked at the person were full of doting, because the person who spoke was none other than Zhang Ning and Ma Teng's only daughter, Ma Ji, who will be nine years old this year.

"Hehe, my little princess will personally go to give them a reward, they must be very happy~" Zhang Ning smiled softly when he heard this, and at the same time motioned for Ma Ji to come to his side.

Walking to Zhang Ning's side, letting her hold her little hand, Ma Ji flashed his big eyes and said in a crisp voice, "No, those soldiers didn't expect that the queen mother and the imperial brother would not only give them such a good reward, but also let the ministers personally send it to ......."

"Hehe, Ji'er is really smart and clever...... Zhang Ning heard this, took Ma Ji's little hand and smiled, his face was full of smiles that could not be concealed. Although in the midst of the smile, there was a trace of sadness and apology flashed.

For Ma Ji, Zhang Ning has been carefully cultivating her since she was very young, the Four Books and Five Classics are only the most basic, and all kinds of tactics are not pulled, and they are very strict, no matter how busy they are, they will take a certain amount of time every day to check Ma Ji's homework.

Perhaps, the reason why it's okay is because of Zhang Ning's own experience in the past, right? So she didn't intend for her daughter to be just a virtuous and virtuous woman. However, Ma Ji did not live up to Zhang Ning's expectations, not only did he learn the homework assigned by Zhang Ning very well, but he even learned the Ma family gun from Ma Chao. In time, she will definitely become a female general who is both civil and military.

After half a ring, Zhang Ning let go of Ma Ji and began to ask about the situation of the others, and the feedback they got also made Zhang Ning very satisfied.

"Hmm...... In this way, there is no need to worry about it in the short term. However, you can't be careless, Meng Qi, send people to strictly guard against the enemy, and if there is any trouble, report to me immediately! Zhang Ning groaned, and then instructed Ma Chao.

"No!"

And on the other side, in the camp of Li Jun.

"I really envy them, there is still a house to live in......" Zhao Da looked not far away, hiding in the house while keeping warm, while looking at the Taiping soldiers here and muttering to himself.

"Envy them? They probably envy us even more! Then! A disdainful voice came, and then threw a sheepskin bag at Zhao Da.

Seeing this, Zhao Da quickly took it, then pulled out the plug and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth, took a big sip, wiped his mouth and laughed, "Sure enough, this weather is the most suitable for drinking this kind of hot wine~"

"Hehe, do you still envy those guys?" Wang San looked at Zhao Da with a strange smile and asked.

"Brother Wang! Brother just said it casually, Brother Wang can go and don't spread it! When Zhao Da heard this, he hurriedly pulled Wang San and muttered.

"That's good, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, you must not talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Otherwise, if it spreads, let alone into the ears of the generals, the other brothers alone will probably teach you a lesson. Wang San patted Zhao Da on the shoulder and admonished.

"Of course, Zhao Gong is so good to us pawns, who dares to talk nonsense, I, Zhao Da, will be the first to spare him!" Hearing this, Zhao Da hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

"It's like a human saying." Wang San grinned, then reached into his arms, felt out two things and handed them to Zhao Da.

"Haha! Roast lamb! Zhao Gong is really the best master in the world, not only has wine to drink, but also barbecue to eat! Zhao Da excitedly snatched the roast sheep and laughed, then took a bite hard, and took another sip of wine, and couldn't help but revel intoxicated, "Tsk, the happiest thing in life, I'm afraid it's just like that, right?" ”

"Ha, there's even happier!" Seeing this, Wang San smiled strangely and shook the rest of the affairs in front of Zhao Da.

"Huh? What is this? Letter? Zhao Da looked at Wang San suspiciously, and then, at Wang San's suggestion, he casually wiped his oily hand on the padded jacket on his body, took the letter and read it. Just after looking at it twice, his eyes turned red, "Father...... Mother ......" Zhao Da muttered, his tone choked, but he was holding back and not letting tears come out of his eyes.

"Okay, people in their twenties, crying what are you crying." Wang San smiled and patted Zhao Da on the shoulder and laughed.

"Hmm!" When Zhao Da heard this, he wiped his face indiscriminately and replied, and then carefully put the letter into his arms, as if it were some kind of treasure.

Of course, this was not specially sent by Zhao Da's parents, but Li Yi asked officials from all over the country to collect it and transport it centrally. The reason for this is that on the one hand, it is naturally to make the army's spirit more cohesive, and he does not feel that this will make the soldiers waver, on the contrary, it will only make the soldiers more loyal to themselves and willing to die for themselves. On the other hand, it was also because this battle had dragged on for too long, even he couldn't help but think about Cai Yan and them, let alone these soldiers.

In addition to this, Li Yi also ordered a large amount of wine and meat to be sent from all over the country, although it cannot be said that it is enough, but compared to the Taiping army, it is obviously much more. The purpose of this is also very simple, in addition to allowing the soldiers to have a good year, it is to stimulate the soldiers of the Taiping Army. However, this plan obviously failed.

"Hehe, Jun An actually thought of it with me, I really didn't expect it~" Li Yi touched his beard and chuckled, completely unable to see the frustrated appearance that should be seen after the failure of the strategy.

"Humph! Jun An, so kindly called! Lu Wen on the side read it in pieces, obviously dissatisfied with Li Yi's title to Zhang Ning.

But it's a pity that Li Yi has long been accustomed to Lu Wen's broken thoughts, and he didn't care at all, but asked directly, "Lingqi, are they back?" ”

"Not yet, after all, this matter is too cumbersome and cumbersome, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete in a short time." Lu Wen replied when she heard this.

"That's it......" Li Yi muttered when he heard this, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, now the morale of the enemy army is rising again, even if it is sent over now, it will not be needed in a short time." ”

"Lord, does this really work?" Hearing Li Yi's words, Lu Wen couldn't help but ask.

"Right?" Li Yi said uncertainly, "It's nothing to try, and it won't lose anything anyway, right?" ”
