September is the harvest season, the people everywhere are busy harvesting crops, and at this time the Great Jin and Zhao are at war, young men join the army more, and the heavy responsibility of harvesting crops falls on the old and young women.

On the way back to the capital, Hua'an saw that the crops on both sides of the road were busy with old and young women, and after careful questioning, he learned that their sons and husbands had joined the army to fight.

Looking at the hard work of these old and weak women and children, Hua'an always had some unbearable, visiting relatives for three days, on the way back to the camp, Hua'an saw these busy figures again, for three days, only half of the crops in the field were harvested.

Hua Anzhong was quite touched, and after returning to the camp, he sent all the more than 10,000 troops under his command to the crops near the capital in the name of training the body, so that they could help the nearby people to harvest grain.

"The general is such a good man! The old man has lived for most of his life, and he has only seen soldiers stealing grain, and he has never seen soldiers helping our people harvest crops. "An old man with gray hair sincerely praised Hua'an.

Hua An straightened up, wiped his forehead casually, and said with a smile: "Old man! The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and protect the people, and this is what we should do. ”

"It should be done, this old man is the first time I've heard of it." The old man looked surprised.

"Grandpa, drink saliva!" A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came over with a bowl of water.

When the old man saw his granddaughter, he grinned and said, "Grandpa is not thirsty, this general has done us a great favor, so bring it to the general." ”

When the little girl heard this, she held a bowl of water in both hands, handed it to Hua An, and said sweetly: "General, drink saliva!" ”

Hua An raised his eyes, and the little girl in front of him had a sweet face, innocent and cute, but her body was a little thin, and her face was a little yellow, and she looked like a child from a poor family. Such a little girl is also the most pitiful.

"Thank you, girl." Hua An was not polite, reached out and took the big bowl in the little girl's hand, raised his head and drank it.

"General, my granddaughter just turned fourteen this year, and she is the most handsome girl in our village." The old man suddenly said something inexplicably.

When Hua An heard this, he was stunned at first, then smiled slightly, looked at the little girl, and quipped: "The girls are fourteen years old, and they can get married." ”

The little girl's cheeks flushed, she glanced at Hua An, turned around and ran away.

"Huh! Forgive the old man for talking too much, has the general got married? The old man looked at Hua An and asked.

Hua An patted the old man's shoulder and said, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, my son was born not long ago, and he has already become a father." ”

"Oops! Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general! The general is so young, he really doesn't see that he has become a father. The old man sincerely congratulated Hua An, but there was obviously a little surprise and loss in his eyes.

Hua An smiled indifferently, pretending not to know.

......At this moment, a horse galloped quickly.

Hua An looked up and saw that it was the herald under Han Qian's tent, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"General Hua, the emperor is in a hurry, let all the generals and officers above the lord of my Northern Expeditionary Army enter the palace to face the saint."

"Oh, you know what's going on." Hua An asked with a frown.

"The villain really doesn't know, but it seems that 100,000 are in a hurry, General Han and the military masters of the battalion have already gone to the capital after receiving the holy edict, and the deputy general Wang and the iron army lord under the command of the general have just been ordered to go."

Hua An frowned and said, "Okay, Ben will go to the capital, you go and inform the Lei Army Lord and Zhao Army Lord, they are in the fields ten miles to the east." ”

"Yes, General." The herald soldier answered and rode away.

"Camp Master Zhang, I'll leave it to you here, and I must help the people transport all the food home." Hua'an stepped on the war horse, and when he left, he still didn't forget to tell him.

"Don't worry, general, the last general must remember." Zhang Yingzhu clenched his fists with both hands.

Hua An took one last look at the crops, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rode towards the capital.

#######

Outside the main hall of the imperial palace in the capital, Han Qian and a group of generals stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for Emperor Sima Yan to summon them.

"Wang San, why hasn't Hua'an arrived yet." Han Qian glanced behind him, but there was no trace of Hua An.

Wang San replied softly: "General, don't worry, it should be almost there." ”

After a while, Hua An hurried to arrive, followed by Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu.

With the order of Emperor Sima Yan, more than 20 generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the main hall in turn, and after saluting, Sima Yan told the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army about the battle situation in Jingzhou, and asked the opinions of the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Now that Uncle Guo is sick in bed, the Jingzhou army has no leader, the army of Zhao is pressing forward step by step, and the northern border of Jingzhou has fallen to the enemy, and the generals can have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy." Sima Yan asked.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops to attack and reinforce Jingzhou." Han Qian asked for his life without hesitation.

"Okay, with General Han reinforcing Jingzhou, I am completely relieved, I don't know what General Han is worried about." Seeing Han Qian's brows frowning slightly, Sima Yan asked carefully.

Han Qian pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the last general has received information that Shi Hu, the king of Zhao State, has led 100,000 troops and has arrived in Yuzhou's Qiaocheng, and the intention is temporarily unknown. ”

"What, Shi Hu personally led 100,000 troops, and he has arrived in Qiaocheng, why don't I know." Sima Yan was shocked.

"Your Majesty, the last general has just learned, and the soldiers led by Shi Hu are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and their strength cannot be underestimated." Han Qian replied truthfully.

"Then what can I do, if the general's headquarters reinforces Jingzhou, and Shi Hu leads his troops to capture Huainan County, won't the Jingshi be dangerous." Sima Yan was also worried.

Seeing this, a minister interjected: "General Han, Jingshi is far more important than Jingzhou, it is better to have a plan for both worlds!" ”

Han Qian pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals in the Jingzhou army, and most of Jingzhou is still in the hands of my Great Jin, there are 40,000 troops in the last general's department, as long as 30,000 fresh troops are sent to reinforce Jingzhou, it can completely reverse the shape, and the remaining 10,000 horses of the last general are stationed in Liyang City, the southernmost part of Huainan County. ”

"Okay, with General Han sitting in Liyang, I have a hundred hearts." Sima Yan nodded.

"Emperor Xie trusts, and the last general will definitely live up to his mission." Han Qian expressed his determination in court.

Seeing this, Sima Yan was quite relieved, paused, and said: "Liyang is hundreds of miles away from Jingzhou, General Han is in the rear, and who is in command of the front legion." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the last general will send the most courageous three generals to lead the troops to reinforce Jingzhou, the three routes of the army of 10,000 horses each, the middle road Hua'an is responsible for controlling the left and right roads, it must be foolproof."

When Sima Yan heard this, he looked at Hua An and said, "General Hua, this time, you have the heavy responsibility of commanding an army of 30,000, you must not let me down!" ”
