In the inner courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, there is a rockery stacked with stones, and there is a fish pond next to it.

A girl with light yarn sat by the fish pond, quietly in a daze, and occasionally a butterfly flew by and landed beside it.

Looking at it carefully, the girl's face is stunning, and she is captivating the country and the city, which makes people fall in love and never forget it.

"Diao Chan!" Lu An walked in, saw Diao Chan in a daze, hesitated in his heart, and finally shouted softly.

"Xuantong! Are you done with today's meeting? Diao Chan turned his head, saw Lu An coming, showed a beautiful smile, and asked.

"Hmm!" Lu An nodded lightly, looking at Diao Chan's faint smile, but he hesitated again when he had already made up his mind on the road.

"Is something wrong?" Diao Chan saw that Lu An's desire to speak stopped, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm going to go on another expedition in a while!" Lu An hesitated for a moment, but spit out a word that was irrelevant to cattle and horses.

"Huh? Are you going to crusade against the Wuxi barbarians? These days, General Gan has been rearming for war! Diao Chan was slightly flustered, and then asked.

"Hmmm! The Wuxi barbarians often take trouble for Wuling County, rob property, and plunder the people! I'm ready to submit them in one fell swoop! Lu An nodded.

"Xuantong is both civil and military, and there are top military divisions on Mr. Fengxiao's side and fierce generals like General Gan and General Zhou, and he will definitely win a big victory." Diao Chan clasped her hands tightly and made a prayer gesture, then smiled.

"Diao Chan, I still have something to tell you!" Lu An helped her caress the green silk that was gently blown by the breeze, and finally relented and spoke. There are some things that have to be realistic, so it's better to let her know as soon as possible.

"What's the matter?" Diao Chan's eyes widened and she asked.

"Li Dao Guo Yan has broken through Chang'an, Wang Situ has been defeated!" Looking at Diao Chan's flawless eyes, Lu An was a little unbearable, turned around, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Ahh Diao Chan exclaimed in surprise, and then he was actually a little unsteady on his feet, as if he was about to fall to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Lu An hurriedly supported her, and just wanted to ask, but found that the eyes of the beautiful woman were already full of tears, and the pear blossoms were full of tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Diao Chan whimpered in a low voice, and could no longer cry.

"Don't be too sad, Wang Situ has been a public servant all his life, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future, and Li Dao Guo Yan is two thieves, and they are notorious, and they will be wiped out by the three clans in less than two days!" Lu An didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only caress her back and open his mouth to comfort.

"Diao Chan's parents died when I was a child, and it was my father-in-law who raised me as an adult, and now my father-in-law was killed by thieves, but Diao Chan failed to send him to the end, which is really unfilial, and besides, my father-in-law passed away, and Diao Chan has no relatives in the world!" Diao Chan tears pizza, the expression on his face turned out to be dead ashes, and his eyes lost their former brilliance.

"Who said that, Diao Chan, don't you still have me? I won't leave you. Seeing that Diao Chan was a little unthinkable, Lu An hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly.

"Thank you, Xuantong!" Hugged by Lu An, Diao Chan seemed to have found an arm to rely on and whimpered softly. After a long time, his mood calmed down, and then he realized that he was in Lu An's arms, and he couldn't help but blush his cheeks and thank him softly.

"Diao Chan!" Seeing that his mood seemed to be a little calmer, Lu An shouted softly.

"Hmm!"

"After a while, how about marrying you after I pacify the Wuxi barbarians?"

"Huh?" When Diao Chan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then struggled out of Lu An's arms, looked at Lu An, and saw that his expression was sincere, without the slightest fake, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and then he couldn't help but say with some inferiority: "Diao Chan's status is low, and now he has no relatives and can't help Xuantong for half a point, how can he be worthy of Xuantong?" ”

"I, Lu An, marry a wife, how can I care about my identity, as long as the two are happy, besides, I am also from a poor background, you are the daughter of Wang Situ, and your identity is more noble than mine! looks like a country and a city, if you want to say that you are not worthy, I am not worthy of you! Lu An chuckled, helped her wipe the green tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke.

"Uncles and aunts didn't agree?" Diao Chan's face was blushing, and although he was happy, he couldn't help but ask.

"My father and mother have long regarded you as a daughter-in-law! His son can find such a beautiful daughter-in-law, where is there anything he is not happy about? Now I'm just waiting for your reply! Lu An scratched her little nose and teased softly. He is also telling the truth, Diao Chan has been living in the inner courtyard of Taishou Mansion since he came to Wuling with him, Lu Sanding and his wife were very happy after knowing it, and they secretly asked Lu An several times when he would marry someone else's girl, and for this matter, I am afraid that there will be a hundred supports.

"Hmm!" Hearing Lu An speak, Diao Chan had no other concerns, and immediately hugged his waist firmly, and responded like a mosquito and fly.

"What do you mean?"

"I hate it, you deliberately molested me!"

"Haha, don't tease you, I'll be good to you for the rest of my life!"

.........

With the passage of time, when the princes of the Central Plains were attacking each other, Lu An was also ready to go on the expedition at this time, and after Zhou Tai Jiang Qin returned with money, food and materials, he rested for two days, and then set off with an army of 40,000 people, ready to subdue these Wuxi barbarians in one fell swoop.

The Wuxi barbarians are located in the southwest of Wuling, where there are many mountains and forests, the location is extremely remote, and the Wuxi barbarians, have lived here for generations, the Wuxi barbarians are actually relatively docile aliens, generally speaking, rarely out of their tribes, and the Han people are also very close to each other, trade with each other, of course, there are exceptions, that is, when they are short of things because of natural disasters or all kinds of willingness, then they will come out to rob, although they will not be as excessive as the Huns did to burn and plunder, but after all, it is a foreign race, Hermes-Epitek still has done great damage.

Therefore, no matter what the reason is, Lu An needs to completely calm down the problem of the Wuxi barbarians.

Because I am not used to the dense forests on the border, the marching speed of the army is very slow, and I am very unaccustomed to this, but along the way, it is always smooth, these barbarians or all of their heads are made of paste, anyway, if it is Lu An, on the way of the enemy's march, especially in this very favorable terrain, he will definitely send people to harass and sneak attack.

"My lord! Thirty miles ahead is the city of those barbarians, called the Great Mud City, they knew that we were coming, combined all the tribes, and stationed a heavy army in front of the Great Mud City! At this time, the spies in front came with military information.

"Let's rest first! It's not time to storm at this time! Lu An squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then made a decision. This time to pacify the barbarians, he not only has to win, but also to minimize his losses, so that he can quickly recover his vitality and withdraw his hands to do other things.

After setting up the camp, Lu An took his subordinates into the tent of the Chinese army, and glanced at Guo Jia, hoping that he would come up with a good idea.

"Don't be anxious, we just need to brake quietly!" Guo Jia chuckled.

"Strategist, isn't it all said by the side defending the city? We are besieging the city! And it doesn't take a profit! Jiang Qin scratched his head and said he didn't understand.

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and said unhurriedly: "The main reason for static braking is to see which aspect has an advantage, so there is capital slowly consumed, waiting for the enemy's flaws, although these barbarians are numerous, but the tribes are scattered, people's hearts are uneven, and they will change over time, and natural disasters have continued in recent years, and all kinds of harvests are not very good, these barbarians are so poor that they often plunder the wheat planted by our Han people, which shows that their grain and grass are in short supply." ”

"On the other hand, we came prepared, the military discipline was strict, and the lord sold green salt and wine, in exchange for a large amount of food, it can be said that everything is sufficient, it can be said that there is no flaw, as long as we do not change ourselves, after a few days, those barbarians will see that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, they will not be able to help but come out to fight with us, what we have to do is to make some preparations for the upcoming battle."

"Oh! Teachable! Jiang Qin nodded understandingly, as if he had an epiphany.

In the next few days, Lu An's department has been holding in the camp, stepping up precautions, and secretly sending people to dig some traps at night, so as to gain some opportunities for the subsequent battle, so a few days later, these barbarians are really ready to move, and from time to time they will send troops to harass them, to explore the truth and reality, but they have all been wiped out by Lu An, he seems to be very patient, and he plans to grind down slowly like this, only besiege and not attack.

If it goes on like this, these Wuxi barbarians finally can't help it, and the city keeps dispatching troops, it seems that they are running their troops, and they are ready to come out and fight a decisive battle with Lu An, and after discovering this information, Guo Jia's military division undoubtedly made the soldiers under Lu An's command even more admired.
