Cao Yue placed the Red Lady's men and horses in a flat place south of Liaocheng, on the bank of the canal, and sent rich food and wine to the soldiers as a reward. The next war has not yet arrived, and the army stationed in Liaocheng is temporarily in a state of recuperation, and the red lady's men and horses have traveled here for a long time, and they need to rest well.

Cao Yue told the Red Lady that he was going to reorganize her men and horses next, and give them the same number as other guard divisions, and let the Red Lady make her own ideas about how to reorganize. He also asked the red lady whether he wanted to continue to lead the army to fight next, or whether he was willing to follow him.

The red lady didn't immediately promise Cao Yue, but just said that she would talk about these things with Cao Yue after she rested for two days.

Cao Yue didn't force anything, but just asked the red lady to rest well, take care of her body, and recover her spirit.

Cao Yue placed the Red Lady's men and horses in an open place in the south of Liaocheng, not far from the other guard divisions.

Because the Red Lady Department threw away most of the baggage and rushed to Shandong, these tens of thousands of soldiers in addition to the weapons and some light artillery they carried with them, the rest were thrown to He Tengjiao and Yuan Jixian in Hubei, including most of the artillery, and surplus military supplies. The military supplies of these soldiers will be replenished in Liaocheng. Cao Yue told the red lady that when she arrived in Shandong, he would give her all kinds of needs, as long as these tens of thousands of horses came to Shandong as soon as possible, and he would make arrangements for the rest.

Although the money and silver at the disposal of the Nanjing ****** were not much, the food supply was quite sufficient. After all, Jiangnan is different from the north, rich in products, and has not suffered military disasters, so there is no need to worry about food. The transportation capacity of the canal in the southern section is very good, and the grain transported from Nanjing to Shandong is very sufficient. The passage of the canal section through Cangzhou is not smooth, due to the siltation of the river, and other factors, resulting in the grain transported to Beijing often stuck.

The journey from Nanjing to Shandong is about half shorter than that from Beijing to Beijing. The time and cost of transporting supplies was also much less, and because of the military control during the war, other ships on the canal had to give way to the large ships transporting military supplies. Therefore, after Cao Yue's army arrived in Shandong, after a big battle, there was no shortage of materials, on the contrary, it was still abundant, and the addition of tens of thousands of horses basically had no impact on the logistics supply.

The Red Lady was originally worried that her army would be in trouble after arriving in Shandong due to lack of medical care and food, but Cao Yue could not give them adequate arrangements. But after listening to what Cao Yue said and seeing the arrangements made by Cao Yue, all the worries were gone. And she also speculated with a woman's mind that the reason why Cao Yue did this was because she attached great importance to her, so she made such full preparations.

Because of this thought, I no longer have any worries and regrets about my determination to abandon everything before and follow Cao Yue in the future.

Cao Yue originally wanted to give the Red Lady a big fanfare, so as to elevate her identity and let everyone know the exploits of the Red Lady when she was active in Henan. But was politely declined by the red lady. Because of the shyness of the woman and too many concerns, the red lady doesn't want to make too much noise, and she also hopes not to show her head as much as possible. In the end, Cao Yue agreed to the invitation of the red lady. didn't make a big deal to pick her up, but just set up a banquet in the line to entertain the red lady and the generals under her command.

Now Cao Yue's name is big enough, and his deterrent power to the generals in the army is also very strong. His military exploits made most people out of reach, and those generals who followed the Red Lady and originally belonged to the leaders of the peasant army were personally received by Cao Yue, the governor in charge of military affairs of the Ming Dynasty. A little flattered. Cao Yue encouraged everyone at the banquet, saying that what they did with Li Zicheng in the past has become a thing of the past, and from now on, they are all members of the Ming Guard. When this war is over, the Red Lady's men and horses will also be reorganized into the Ming Guards and enjoy the same treatment as those other Guards divisions. Those with good military talents and good conduct can continue to lead the army to fight, and the court will also reward them for their military exploits in the past period.

Cao Yue's public statement reassured everyone.

Although many people followed the red lady to defect to the official army, they had more or less scruples in their hearts, for fear that Cao Yue would investigate their past opposition to the imperial court, and that they would be marginalized after the army was reorganized. Cao Yue's statement made them worry about it.

Without worry, they could immediately get the reward of the imperial court, everyone was very happy, and they let go of their stomachs to eat and drink at Cao Yue's reception banquet, and finally got drunk one by one, and were able to return to the camp with the help of their own soldiers.

When the red lady was also about to leave, Cao Yue stretched out his hand and grabbed her: "Red girl, tonight, you can stay in the line, it's still early anyway, let's talk about something in private." ”

The red lady just hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

She just told Cao Yue that she wanted to take a good bath, she didn't have time and opportunity to take a bath these days, and she smelled on her body. Cao Yue wanted to talk to her about something, and she would talk about it after she finished taking a shower. The red lady's knowledge made Cao Yue understand something else, and after smiling obscenely, she agreed.

After the red lady saw Cao Yue's lewd smile, she immediately thought that there was a hint in her words, and she couldn't help blushing, but she didn't know how to explain, and finally just glared at Cao Yue angrily, and asked the two maids to go in with her and prepare to take a bath.

Cao Yue went out to arrange some important things, and when he returned to Xingyuan, the red lady had finished bathing and was combing her hair in the house. He didn't care about anything, he just pushed the door in, startling the three women.

Yun'er and Xiaolan were also very interested, and after Cao Yue came in, they bowed and retreated, and closed the door.

Cao Yue walked to the red lady who was still sitting in front of the dresser, lowered her head and sniffed at her neck, and naturally teased: "It's so fragrant, it's not wrong to smell the fragrance and know the beauty." ”

One sentence made the red lady blush, she turned her head sideways, glanced at Cao Yue, and said angrily: "Governor Cao, why don't you pay attention to etiquette at all, you can be selfish and reckless, and the slave family hasn't made up yet!"

"What else do we care about? It's not an outsider!" Cao Yue looked disapproving.

"Who said that you are not an outsider, and the slave family is not your wife, not your woman, you are rude like this!" When taking a bath, the red lady did a psychological struggle for a long time, and finally made a decision that made her feel ridiculous, that is, not to refuse Cao Yue's overtures, and everything went naturally. Therefore, Cao Yue teased like this, she did not dodge, and looked like she wanted to refuse and welcome.

"Hehe, it's very simple, tonight, just be my woman, you don't care about it, don't refuse me, I'm going to condemn you!" Cao Yue said, without waiting for the red lady to agree, and kissed it very domineeringly. The red lady only struggled slightly, then complied, and reached out to hug Cao Yue's waist, and responded very warmly. It's been too long since I've been caressed by a man, and the result of the psychological struggle just now is to accept this little man, and a passionate kiss makes her passion rise immediately.

"From today on, you are my woman, I will give you a name, just listen to me obediently in the future!" While speaking, Cao Yue's intimate movements did not stop.

Cao Yue kissed the red lady frantically for a while, and put his hand into her placket, and after cruising around her plump body wantonly, he hugged the red lady and strode towards the bedroom.

And the red lady with a drunken face shrunk in Cao Yue's arms very obediently, her eyes closed, and the two hugged Cao Yue's neck tightly, allowing Cao Yue to carry her into the bedroom. (To be continued.) )
