Hou Xuanyan came to Xiao County and went straight to Liu Fengshan's mansion, almost fainting Liu Fengshan.

The courtyard where Grandpa Guo lived, he had sent someone to seal it, and the things inside were intact.

Yue Guogong had a meal at home, and for a long time, it will become a big card for their Xiao County Liu family. Moreover, the new county of Xiao County is still the personal soldier of the national prince, and the personal soldier at this time is the confidant of the henchmen.

Just when Lao Liu was thinking about how to maintain this relationship without breaking it, Grandpa Guo came to the door again, and Liu Fengshan came out with the whole family.

Hou Xuanyan didn't even get off the horse, and said: "Lao Liu, I have some personal matters this time, and I want to trouble you." ”

"Where is Guogong, what trouble, hey, Guogong, you just command!" Liu Fengshan was a little incoherent excitedly.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "I have a wife, and now I am pregnant with my heir, you find a stable and not bumpy vehicle, follow me up the mountain to send her to the port, and from there take a boat back to Suzhou." There are also some honest and diligent women who are smart and safe, and look at them along the way. ”

Liu Fengshan turned around and left, and after a while, he led a group of people to climb Yunlong Mountain happily and sent Yang Fujin to the Legou ferry at the bottom of the mountain.

On the ship carrying grain back, Zhang Yiguan took hundreds of personal soldiers to escort Yang Fujin and some mothers-in-law and maids of the Liu family to board the boat, and looked at Hou Xuanyan reluctantly.

Hou Xuanyan looked at Zhang Yiguan and patiently advised: "Send my wife to Suzhou and hand it over to my third uncle Hou Qi Zeng Haosheng to take care of, our Hou family has suffered a lot of disasters, and it has been a long time since a new Ding was born." Speaking of this, Hou Xuanyan suddenly sneered and said: "Jinling has not been very peaceful recently, but Suzhou has been our people from the roots, and I am more at ease when I go to Suzhou." ”

Zhang Yiguan hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will definitely send my wife safely and come back to Dashuai as soon as possible." ”

Hou Xuanyan walked to the deck again, pressed Yang Fujin's shoulder, and said softly: "When you arrive in Suzhou, I will go back to see you as soon as possible." ”

Yang Fujin glanced at him faintly, bit his lip, and said in a low voice: "Lie again..."

Hou Xuanyan lowered his head to look at her, and sure enough, she was lightly locked, with hidden worries in her arms, and there were even tears rolling in her eyes. She has been with the army for a long time, and it is not easy to fool, knowing that the Northern Expedition may be protracted.

Hou Xuanyan stroked her sideburns, detoured Qingsi to the back of her head, and said: "It's June now, and I promise you that when the peach blossoms bloom all over the next year, you must be by your side." ”

Yang Fujin raised her head and burst into tears, she is a wonderful person cultivated in the standard Jiangnan water town, her mind is soft and delicate, she is the most sentimental, and she is eager to be loved and pity. I was played by Hou Xuanyan for a few months, and I just experienced a little tenderness, so I had to separate.

Hou Xuanyan waved his hand, walked down, turned his head and said, "Let's go, go into the cabin and rest, the wind in the bow and stern of this ship is not small, Mo has been standing here for a long time and suffered the wind." ”

Yang Fujin suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "The peach blossoms will bloom next year, don't forget." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled back, turned around and got on his horse and rushed to Yunlong Mountain, and his back quickly disappeared by the river.

Yang Fujin returned to the cabin in a daze, and a mother-in-law smiled and said: "Madame is so blessed, Grandpa Guo has such a high status, and he still loves Madame so much." ”

Yang Fujin felt sweet in his heart, disappreciating it, pouting and saying: "Where is it, what is this love..."

In Dengzhou Mansion, Shandong, all the people greeted the fire camp.

Li Haoxian's side is like a cloud, and he finally returned to his hometown after three years, and the whole territory of Shandong has been flattened so far.

The people on the side of the road were already shouting: "Li Jialang, you are finally back." ”

A burly man, even surpassing Li Haoxian, stood in the crowd and looked around, but did not find a familiar figure.

Hu Bawan's friends are all men who lick blood with knives, except for him, who was lucky enough to escape to the south with Li Haoxian, almost all of the others died in that catastrophe.

The capture of Dengzhou Mansion not only marked that the entire territory of Shandong fell into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but more importantly, there were various ports along the coast of Dengzhou. In addition to the Songjiang Sailor and the Fujian Sailor, soon a sailor who can quickly sail to the Manchu Qing Dynasty will rise here. In addition, Dengshu is closer to Japan, making it easier to trade, and Japan is now like a treasury full of wealth.

When I entered the Dengzhou Mansion, I had already prepared wine and food, and in the open-air courtyard in the courtyard, several generals of the Agni Battalion sat and drank together. Li Haoxian felt comfortable and raised his voice: "Haha, it's been three years, it's the first time I've been so happy." I used to feel stuffy in my chest, but today I finally gasped out. Although Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, it is not my hometown, and it is not the root of our waiting. When you arrive in Dengzhou this time, you must try our wine and food here. ”

Hu Bawan remembered that when the Jingxiang War, Hou Xuanyan patted his chest and promised them: One day in the future, I will take you to your hometown in Shandong.

At that time, everyone thought he was bragging, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time swept the world for a lifetime, and it had the atmosphere of the late Song Dynasty. Who would have thought that it was really done today.

He stood up suddenly, a little emotional, and everyone, including Li Haoxian, looked at him.

"This glass of wine, we wish the handsome."

When Li Haoxian heard this, he also stood up and said, "It's rare for you to say a good word, let's wish the handsome man and drink this cup together!" ”

In June of the first year of Jingyou, the land of Shandong was withered, and the Northern Expedition East Road Arms Battalion occupied the entire territory of Shandong. Unlike the previous attack without occupation, Li Haoxian sent troops to stabilize the key passes everywhere and completely occupy the big cities in Shandong.

In Jinling City, there are groups of officials walking on the road to their posts. They set out from Jinling and took the Yunyan River from Yangzhou and Huai'an to Shandong. Soon they will appear in counties and counties all over Shandong and become local parents. The faces of these new officials were full of confidence and joy, and many of them did not know that the county they were going to serve was empty...

The destruction of the massacre can end in only a few days, but the restoration of people's livelihood is a long process, Hou Xuanyan has already sent an order, the Northern Expedition cost a lot, and the treasury is already stretched. During the period when Li Haoxian was the governor of Shandong, he wanted to develop and solve the problem on his own, so he could suspend the pace of going north and stabilize the mountains and rivers that he had in his hands first. The war has been fought for so long, even a mountain of gold is about to be emptied. Hou Xuanyan had no choice but to let the Huozi Battalion and the Sichuan Barracks be self-sufficient on their respective territories.

As for the Middle Route Army and the Loyal Battalion, they didn't take this opportunity at all, and the flames of war were burning every day.
