Huang Yu pretended to be surprised, then straightened her face again, coughed twice, clasped her hands into fists and said in a thick voice: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

Li Xin laughed, he was naturally joking, and then his face sank involuntarily.

"What kind of concern makes General Li so worried?"

Li Xin sighed, "Just now, the messenger from Datong brought news that Sanwei's food supply was almost out of supply. In fact, this is also in his expectation, Sanwei took in hundreds of thousands of refugees, people eat horses and chew, it is extremely rare to be able to survive for several months, Jin merchants after a winter of looting, the loss is not small, and through the town of the guard to hang this checkpoint wind, along the border wall all the guards have the same, all the merchants who go to the mouth will collaborate with the enemy, and the goods will be confiscated.

The guards gradually tasted the sweetness from it, and they were tired of it, and there was a tendency to fish with all their might, so that the Jin merchants shrank up and did not dare to make any moves, this consequence was something Li Xin did not expect. In the future, it must be opened up separately, after all, he is targeting the Manchu Tartars, not the Ming merchants.

But this account, whether Li Xin admits it or not, Jin Shang counted it on Li Xin's head.

"The trading company still has more than 100,000 stone of grain, so it's better to take it to the emergency first."

In this regard, Huang Yu has no better way.

"Ho, the big business is rich and the country is rivaled!"

"How? I also want to make a name and confiscate it? ”

Huang Yu's eyes deliberately had a little more playfulness in his eyes, Li Xin shook his head, "It's not a long-term solution...... halfway through the words, he rubbed his brows, and said with emotion: "It is said that it is good to be an official, I think it is better to be a businessman, wave your hand and pour gold, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

This is a slope outside the city, Li Xin looked at the artemisia grass that was more than one person tall on the ground, and suddenly smiled: "If Li Xin doesn't do this general soldier, it is better to be the steward of the little sister, and every day tens of millions of gold and silver are in his hands, envy others......"

Huang Yu smiled and said: "If Brother Li only wants gold and silver, who wants you." ”

"Li Xin is a horse thief, but he wants it!"

Huang Yu said word by word:

"What about a horse thief, he has a big heart, he is also a big hero!"

Li Xin silently, since Liu Guoneng played the banner of breaking into the king, the history he knew before will change imperceptibly, and the black pressure in front of him is a piece of black press, all the dark clouds are rolling, there is not even a trace of light, he has also been determined from the beginning, hoping to turn the tide, but now the world is becoming more and more erosive, even if he has used all his strength, the Ming court's rivers and mountains are still irrepressibly festering, and it is going to be more ferocious.

The only thing that put him safe was that in the troubled times, he mixed up the foundation of this body, and he could plan slowly.

"Let's go, go to the Hutuo River and have a look!"

Li Xin didn't come out this time just to fall in love, with the strength of the Three Guards Army and Daizhou, that is, more than self-preservation, the army of thieves would have to attack north sooner or later. He wants to take advantage of this rare war break to investigate the geography of Daizhou, and strive to give full play to the geographical advantages and people.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fei's horses were startled for some reason, and Herod neighed and ran out. Li Xin was suddenly startled, and chased after the horse, because after several battles, the war horse died at stake, all the horses were concentrated in the cavalry battalion, and even Li Xin's own soldiers became foot soldiers. Where can two legs run past four hooves, and in the blink of an eye, only two galloping war horses are left galloping on the banks of the Hutuo River.

March had arrived, the winter snow had melted, and the river was gradually flooding, and the two horses were stopped and galloped northeast. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of horses' hooves knocking and neighing in the barren grassy valley was the only thing.

The war horse paused abruptly, but Huang Yu's body flew out and rolled out on the artemisia grass. This can lose half of Li Xin's frightened three souls and seven spirits, and quickly fly off the horse to see how she is injured. It was also anxious to ignore the feet, and was tripped and stood unsteadily lying on the side of Li Huangyu, even a wolf.

Li Xin couldn't care about himself, and was just about to get up, when a crisp laugh sounded in his ears, and then he saw that Huang Yu was already sitting beside him, covering his mouth and laughing. He immediately understood that he had been fooled, so he reached out to pull her, but he didn't expect Huang Yu to really fall.

The soft body was attached to his body, making Li Xin's intuition surge of blood, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Huang Yu's forehead, her clear eyes were looking at him affectionately, and the breath between her mouth and nose was like a musk deer...... At this time, where could Li Xin pretend that nothing had happened, and without hesitation, he suddenly kissed her trembling lips......

Only the deep artemisia grass was left on the Hutuo River, and only two war horses were left neighing......

I don't know how long it took for the two of them to get up from the artemisia grass that was more than one person high, Huang Yu followed Li Xin, the sun had set, and a touch of sunset was painted on her face, which was even more charming and moving, but a pair of clear eyes looked at the surging Hutuo River.

"I really want to turn into this river and always be by your side!"

Li Xin was clumsy for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, Huang Yu turned to smile and said: "It's not too early, we have to go back, if we don't leave, I don't know what they are already like in the city......

Huang Yu is not wrong, Daizhou City has exploded, Huang Sheng jumped up urgently, his most beloved sister was lost, there was no news in an afternoon, now that the war has just ended, it is not peaceful outside, if you encounter a rout of the mountain bandits, the consequences are unimaginable.

The Three Guards were not much better here, and when they heard that the chief soldier was missing, several heads and brains suddenly looked for them as if they had lost their backbones. Tian Fuzhen, who had made great contributions in the first war in Xinzhou before, was calm and told everyone that this matter must not be made public, and it is only advisable to look for it secretly, otherwise it will mess up the morale of the army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Who knew that just before the last trace of the sun's afterglow completely disappeared, Li Xin and Huang Yu returned together, and everyone in Daizhou City breathed a sigh of air.

The primary issue now in front of the Three Guards is whether to defend or attack next, and Li Xin, who is also the chief soldier of the Three Guards and the general military affairs of Shanxi, not only has to deal with the situation in Shanxi, but also has to consider the embarrassing situation that the Three Guards are facing is about to run out of food.

In fact, there are only two solutions: one is to engage in tuntian production, just in the spring, to open up wasteland for farming. The second is that there is no iron ore around Datong, which is supervised by Sanwei, and the labor force is distributed to exchange the coal and iron produced for living materials. Third, according to Li Xin's understanding, Datong originally had a very developed handicraft industry, and now it can be vigorously supported, the demand on the grassland has always been very large, and many goods necessary for life have been in short demand because they come from the south.

However, to engage in tuntian production, after all, it is far water, and far water cannot quench the thirst of the near. Li Xin has also thought about this a long time ago, two words "borrow money"!

After everyone heard about the loan, they all shook their heads, the Jin merchants had been looted by Li Xin and suffered heavy losses, and everyone was eager to eat their flesh raw, where would they lend him half a copper plate. But Li Xin seems to have a bamboo in his chest.

"Bonds?"

Hearing these two words spit out of Li Xin's mouth, everyone was shocked again, and when they heard the explanation, Master Guo pouted and said: "Bonds, bonds, is an IOU in another name, to put it mildly, or to borrow money." Looking at the current shape, the Huang family in Daizhou will definitely not refuse, and it is difficult to say about the others! ”

Master Guo has survived the first battle of Xinzhou, and he has consciously made great achievements, and he is full of confidence when he speaks, and even feels that Li Xinping has made three polite concessions to him, which is very good now.

Tian Fuzhen frowned, and suddenly asked, "Dashuai, do you have other plans?" ”

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was already a practice of calling the general soldiers of a town as the commander, and now although Li Xin is only the acting chief soldier of Shanxi, the people under him have changed their names and called them "the commanders".

Of course, Li Xin also has a follow-up move, and his bond issuance is not only aimed at a few major Jin merchants, but also at everyone in Datong, Shanxi. It can also be said to be a rehearsal for him to issue coins, and of course, to attract people to buy huàn bonds. First, the Sanwei General Military Mansion, represented by Li Xin, should establish absolute prestige and credibility in Shanxi. Second, it is necessary to throw out enough benefits to achieve the purpose of absorbing money.

Just when Li Xin's engagement in Daizhou City was in full swing, Liu Guoneng also got an amazing good news, he listened to the scout's report, and laughed three times in a row.

"God help me break into the army, God help me break into the army!"

It turned out that Zuo Liangyu's army, which was attacking Pingyang Mansion, suddenly broke out of the plague, and suddenly lost its combat effectiveness, and was defeated by Guo Tianxing. Now the two prefectures of Henan Province on the north bank of the Yellow River are under his control.

As a result, there was no need for Xinkou's army to continue to stand and see.

"Order the Xinkou army to immediately march north!"

However, as soon as this order came out of Liu Guoneng's mouth, someone jumped out to stop it. Liu Guoneng took a closer look, and it was Liu Wenqi, the official master he replaced as a guest. This person is not simple, it is said that he knows astronomy and geography, and he will be like a treasure when he gets this person, and he is extremely important!

Immediately asked respectfully:

"Sir, excuse me, is there anything wrong?"

"It's a big mistake!"

"Oh? Please teach me how to do it inappropriately! ”

Liu Guoneng listened to Liu Wenqi talk about inappropriateness, so he attached great importance to it, and he wanted to listen carefully to the high opinion of this capable man.

"Chuang Wang Rongyu, the Ming Dynasty is still in full swing, and it is extremely unwise for our army to go north. In the opinion of the text, when the first battle is won, there are two strategies! ”

"Would you like to hear about it?"

"The best policy, winning the first battle, attacked the Ming Dynasty's Beijing division with a partial division, and King Chuang led the army to cross the Yellow River south, occupy Guanzhong, and close Tongguan. On the one hand, he resisted the Ming army with the solidity of Cuihan. On the one hand, Tuntian production, wait for the time to be ripe, and send troops to attack the world! ”

"What's next?"

Liu Wenqi stroked his beard under his chin.

"If Shaanxi is not guaranteed, it will continue to go south into Sichuan, and it will be difficult to resist the Ming army with the danger of Shu Road."
