However, he said that there were two military newspapers written from the front line, one was written by the battalion and the other was written by Yang Xingjian. Deng She leaned on the Hu bed, took out what Yang Xingjian wrote first, and after looking at it a few times, his complexion changed slightly.

Yang Xingjian went to the front line, his task was to coordinate the generals, and the content of his letter was naturally mainly about the frontline generals. The war against Jinan was only mentioned in the beginning part. It was briefly written: "The general offensive of our army, the war is generally going well.

"Because the city walls and buildings of Jinan, when Wang Baobao attacked the city last time, there were many damages, and because of the relationship of time, Guanbao has not had time to repair it on a large scale, so our army attacked the city with little resistance. So far, the city walls in the east and south have collapsed in many places. Although the Tartars tried their best to rescue them, they were short of manpower. There is no doubt that our army has gained the upper hand. It is only a matter of time before Jinan. ”

Writing this, Yang Xingjian wrote a turning point: "However, although the restoration of Jinan is a fixed matter, the ministers have been ordered by the lord to go to the front line, but they have found that there are many discords between the generals. ”

With Yang Xingjian's words, Deng She's face gradually began to become serious. The ease that Liu Nineteen had just done was gone, he picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of water, and continued to watch. I saw Yang Xingjian write:

"As the lord worries, General Li is too straight, and General Bi is not in words. Yang Wanhu, Guo Conglong, Fu Youde, Hu Zhong, and Wang Guoyi are all brave. Moreover, the generals, Yang Wanhu has long been famous in our army, Guo Conglong and Fu Youde are rising stars, and as for Hu Zhong and Wang Guoyi, they were either once generals of Zhao Zuocheng, or they were originally subordinates of Chen Pingzhang. It can be said that each has its own 'roots'.

Therefore, they are sometimes willing to obey the orders of Li and Bi Shuai. The ministers came to the front line, but in a day or two, they had already discovered twice that the generals did not listen to the dispatch of the battalion.

"Once it was Yang Wanhu. Yang Wanhu's original duty was to lead his Anliao army to feint the west gate of Jinan, so as to cooperate with General Bi and the Dizhou army to capture the east gate. Just yesterday, seeing that General Bi's headquarters and the Dizhou army had suffered too much losses, General Li ordered him to allocate a part of his men and horses to support General Bi. Yang Wanhu may have been eager to fight for merit, but he just stormed Xicheng and refused to obey his fate. It was not until the end that General Li issued three more military orders in succession, and he reluctantly accepted the transfer, but only allocated less than 500 people to support General Bi.

"Once it was Wang Guoyi. Wang Guoyi's original duty was to lead his cavalry headquarters and garrison outside the north city gate. It is not necessary to participate in the siege. If a Tartar breaks through from the north, he can go out with Hu Zhong's generals to intercept and kill. And last night, however, he suddenly went out lightly, and sent out three hundred horsemen, and galloped round the northern gate, shouting and screaming, and terrifying the city, and he was amused by it. and rode out in all directions, plundering neighboring townships and counties.

When General Li heard the news, he immediately issued a military order, asking him not to act rashly and to return to his own camp as soon as possible. Wang Guoyi said to the left and right: 'I, Chen Pingzhang's tiger teeth are also. Galloping Liaodong Japan, where is Monk Li? On the battlefield, how can you obey the orders of a bald man when he kills people? And with this as a text, he replied to the front battalion.

When General Li received this palindrome, he was furious, that is, he wanted to personally raise the military horse and go to the kingdom's army to take its head. Fortunately, thanks to the persuasion of Pan Xian and others, he gave up, but instead sent his ministers to pass the order. In the army of the kingdom, the decree of the lord is clearly stated to be viewed by him. Tell him in person that those who violate military discipline and do not obey the dispatch should be beheaded according to the orders of the lord! He only then relented slightly. The generals are not in harmony, but it is so far!

In addition, General Li also had a lot of criticism for the generals. On the night of the minister, he said to the minister: 'The generals are domineering, and it is very difficult to command. 'Yang, Guo, Hu, and Wang Zhu don't need to say much, just Fu Youde. At that time, General Lee described him in eight words: 'taciturn and self-righteous.' Fu Youde is a person, the minister has not had much contact with him, and he has only met him a little more often in the past few days on the front line.

"According to the regulations, the front-line battalion has two military meetings a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Every time the military was discussed, Fu Youde was silent and had little to say. Although he was also very respectful to Li and Bi Shuai, he once questioned General Li's deployment and even quarreled on the spot. General Li is also straightforward, and the two of them have a lot of trouble and can't get off the stage. Although Fu Youde's move is not wrong, arguing with the main general in front of the generals will inevitably lose the identity of his subordinates.

"The front-line generals are so divided, although our army will win Jinan, the ministers are not happy, but worried. The lord ordered the ministers to come to the front line to coordinate the generals, and although the ministers' abilities may be insufficient, they will do their best. ”

Yang Xingjian's military letter, from beginning to end, wrote a lot of words, but in fact, it only illustrates a problem: in the front-line camp, the person in charge is not handsome enough, and the generals are more than domineering. After this battle, even if Jinan can be obtained, but the generals are not in harmony, there are many contradictions between each other, if at this time, suddenly the enemy comes to attack, I am afraid it is difficult to resist. Therefore, he "does not like it but worries about it."

Deng She knew the front-line generals very well, in fact, he had already expected that there would be discord, otherwise, he would not have sent Yang Xingjian. However, the degree of discord among the generals was still beyond his expectations.

He thought in his heart: "Li and Bi, it seems that they can only be generals, and it is difficult to be handsome. "I think that on that day, Zhao Guo and Wen Huaguo led the army respectively, one was in Huashan, and the other crossed the sea to help, Yang Wanhu, Hu Zhong, and Guo Conglong were all under his command at that time, but why didn't such a thing happen? This time to capture Jinan, he actually thought about still sending Zhao Guo out of the horse to be the main general, but because in the current Yidu, Zhao Guo is Deng She's right-hand man, at this time, Yidu is indeed inseparable from him, so he replaced Monk Li and Bi Qianniu as the main generals.

Since Monk Li and Bi Qianniu have been used as the main generals, it is obviously impossible to suddenly change the generals now. Fortunately, Hong Jixun, Li Shousheng and others did a good job in the early planning, and Yang Xingjian also said that the capture of Jinan will definitely be able to win this time. Even if there are various problems in the military, the most that can be done is to delay the time for victory, and it should not be a big problem. Deng She pondered and thought: "Only after the war, when we have free up our hands, can we slowly find a way to solve these problems in the army." ”

said that it was "slowly resolved", but in fact, Deng She was not sure whether the matter could be solved. Think about it, all the generals are rebellious people who kill people on the battlefield, hoping that they can be at peace with each other? It's a fantasy. Moreover, in response to this kind of discord among the generals, Deng She has also had many rectifications before. In terms of effect, it is not very obvious.

However, then again, it is not impossible to solve this problem. In case of war again, don't use people like Monk Li and Bi Qianniu as the main generals, but reassign Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo and others. It's just that Deng She thought in his heart: "But handsome is not enough!" ”

Qu Index, Haidong has developed so far, and there are only a few people who have the ability to sit on one side, such as Wen Huaguo, Chen Hu, Zhao Guo, and Qing Qianxing. "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." The fierce general is easy to find, but the handsome is hard to find. Deng She couldn't help but think of Qing Qianxing's Tiao Chen because of this, although it was said that his Tiao Chen was rejected, but this person is indeed very capable and can be of great use.

Now Haidong's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the next development goal is obviously to develop to the Central Plains and compete with the heroes. Chen Hu sits in Liaodong and Wenhua sits in North Korea, both of which are the foundation of Deng She's beginning, and they should not be careless. Wen and Chen couldn't move lightly because of this. Deng She has at hand, and now there is only one heavy general who can be used flexibly, so there is only Zhao Guo. You can't send Zhao over if there is a war in the future, right? Even if Zhao Guo works hard, he still can't do it. Just like Liaodong, while fighting Naha, you have to guard against Liaoxi, and you have to guard against Polo. What if in the future, Yidu also has this kind of two-front, or even three-line warfare? All in all, only Zhao Guo alone is far from enough. Now that the situation in Liaodong is stable, it seems that this Qing Qianxing can be transferred.

With Zhao Guo and Qing Qianxing here, at least, there will be no more situations like this one when they are stretched thin and no one is available. Deng She suddenly remembered another person, and thought, "Chen Yutou? In the battle of Tai'an, this person was brave and strategic, and stuck to the lonely city for more than a month. And understand the general. It seems to be quite handsome. ”

It's just "seemingly", and you still have to try it to know. Deng She was not in a hurry, and first saved this thought, and then thought: "Let's wait until Liu Shijiu is cleaned up, and the matter that the imperial court wants to make me go south is completely resolved, and then I will talk about it." "Even if Chen Rutou is indeed handsome, it is still not enough, and he has to make his position clear. Deng She decided to go through Liu Shijiu's matter first to see what Chen Rutou's position was. If he had not said a word about the southward journey from the beginning to the end, it would have proved useful. When you have the opportunity, you can add important tasks to him and try how handsome this person is.

After thinking about it, he turned back to Yang Xingjian's military report.

Deng She thought for a while, picked up the pen and wrote back, writing: "Wang Guoyi messed up the north gate at night, plundered the township, and beheaded according to the law!" However, when he remembers his exploits, he will be punished with a hundred rods. As soon as the military order was issued, it was as fast as a mountain, Yang Wanhu delayed and delayed, and he should be beheaded according to the law! However, when he recited his exploits, he was punished with fifty rods. If there is another violation of military discipline and does not listen to the dispatch and command, the violator will be beheaded! Monk Li and Bi Qianniu are the main generals, if they can't march the military law, they will be punished! ”

Summoned Shi Sanqian to come in, sealed the reply, handed it to him, and instructed: "Send a fast horse and send this letter to the front." Shi Sanqian knew that there were two military letters sent by Deng Chengzhi, but he didn't know if Deng She's reply was to Daying or Yang Xingjian, so he asked, "Is it handed over to General Li?" Or Lord Yang? ”

"To Monk Li!"

"Yes."

Shi Sanqian took the letter and retreated, and went to arrange for someone to send it. Deng She picked up the military documents of the camp again, still lying on the Hu bed, and began to watch. I saw that the military text read: "In the seventh year of the dragon and phoenix, the twenty-fifth day of the second month of spring, the day of Yiyou." Last night's fierce battle broke the enemy's eastern city wall. At midnight this morning, Bi Qianniu attacked again.

"The battalion mobilized the siege equipment of all armies and gathered in the eastern city. Catapults, artillery, and other objects of all colors, no less than hundreds. and countless strong bows and crossbows. Every time there is a shot, the arrow stone covers the sky. There is a strong crossbow and can wear heavy armor; There were also big stones, and more than ten people were killed in one shot. The enemy defending the eastern wall suffered casualties.

At three o'clock, Yang Wanhu damaged the enemy's west city wall again, and the enemy's south city wall was also damaged. The Tartars in the city saw that the situation was difficult to support, so they surrendered by deception. See through it for our army. Use Pan Xian's second plan. General Lee pretended to agree. At that time, the Tartars drove the people to the front, and the Tibetan soldiers were behind. When he left the city, Guo Conglong and Fu Youde were divided into left and right, and led the cavalry to rush and kill. The enemy was in turmoil, and our army took advantage of it and killed more than 100 enemies. and captured one of the enemy generals. Li, Bi, and Pan inquired about the prisoner and learned that the enemy's morale in the city was fluctuating, and there were many people who said their way.

"With Pan Xian's second plan, our army is around the city, hanging up the no-kill card. Pick hundreds of people and say in a loud voice that the city knows, 'Those who descend will not be killed, and those who sacrifice the city will be rewarded.'" At noon, the siege began. The enemies of the eastern city wall have lost their fighting spirit. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Mihan reported that Tartar reinforcements had been found on the other side of the river. A military order has been issued, ordering it to be ready for battle. And he used Pan Xian's second strategy to deceive the city, and our army had withdrawn to help. The morale of the Tartars in the city is getting weaker and weaker. In the future, Bi Qianniu broke the east city wall again. ”

At this point, the military report came to an abrupt end.

Deng She was impatient, got up and went out, walked into the hospital, and looked up at the sky. Estimate the time, but it will take another half a day for the military report from the front line to arrive. He was worried about the war, and even if he returned to the study anyway, he was restless, so he simply called two or three followers, went straight out of the yard, and walked in the backyard.

Talk to the entourage, and the topic is mostly about the front-line war. Before you know it, you will come to the outside of a courtyard. looked up, but it was not where his new house with Luo Guannu was. After all, he was newly married, maybe he was going to come over subconsciously. At the gate of the courtyard, I saw the figure of a maid, which was very familiar. The maid was facing away from Dunshe, carrying a small kettle, watering the flowers and plants by the wall.

Deng She called out her name and asked, "Chuwa, what is Madame doing?" ”

When the maid heard Deng She's voice, she hurriedly turned around, bowed, and replied, "Back to Your Highness, the lady is indoors, looking at the gifts from her mother's family." Deng She nodded and said, "Let's go to the messenger, just say that I have nothing to do, come and see her." The maid answered, but did not go away, smiled, and said, "Your Highness, so that you may know." The slave is not Chuwa, but Yuewa. ”

Deng She was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." You're the one who can play the piano. ”

Although there are only two maids brought by Luo Guannu from her mother's family, Yuewa and Chuwa, but the nobles of Deng She are forgetful, but where will they pay too much attention? I am not right for a while, but there are also some of them. At this time, listening to Yuewa's accent, it is not like a northerner. Although she spoke in official language, she clearly had a southern tone, so she casually asked, "Where are you from?" Yuewa replied: "The slave maid's family is in Jiaxing." ”

"Jiaxing? That's Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But how did you come to Yidu? ”

"The slave's family once joined the pseudo-yuan, and did the capital of the left and right divisions of Yidu. Later, Master Mao recovered Yidu, the city was broken, and although the family had fallen, the situation at that time was too chaotic, and it was not in the army. The slave's mother was far away in Jiaxing, and the slave had no one to rely on in Yidu, so she sold herself into slavery. A few years ago, His Royal Highness entered Yidu, and soon after, Master Luo also came. The slave maid was given to Master Luo by the original master. Master Luo was kind, and when he saw that the slave and maid were still able to arouse, he gave the slave and maid to the lady, so he had to enter the palace of King Yan. This is also a blessing for slaves and maids, and they have the honor to serve His Royal Highness and the lady. ”

"In this way, your experience is quite similar to that of Li Jixiu. No wonder he plays the piano well. ”

Yuewa didn't know who Li Jixiu was, and she didn't dare to ask, so she only said: "Yes, yes." I don't dare to be praised by His Highness, some tunes, can enter the ears of His Highness, and I don't think it is dirty to listen to it, which is already a great blessing for slaves and maids. ”

Deng She laughed and said to his entourage, "You will wait for me outside the courtyard." If there is a report from the front-line army, they will call me. The entourage agreed, and they waited outside the courtyard.

Yue Wa led the way, and Deng She walked into the hospital. Since coming to this era, he has seen and heard so many stories of joys and sorrows. If it was placed in the past, maybe Yuewa's experience could still arouse some sympathy from him, but now, it is difficult to produce a ripple in his heart.

Although Yuewa's appearance is ordinary, her figure is still good.

She wore a narrow waist long skirt, which became more and more like a waist, and walked in front, although it was not graceful, but it was also very touching. Because of its background, it has a gentle and dignified taste. And this gentle and dignified, but it forms a stark contrast with her slave dress. Deng She glanced at it twice, and thought in his heart: "Compared with the lady, although it is not as beautiful, it is better than it." ”

Still, he just thinks about it. The thought then vanished. In his backyard, there are many beauties. Although Yue Wa has some beautiful demeanor, it is far inferior to Yan Shurong. And Ruo Dan is better than her in terms of appearance. Therefore, Deng She really didn't have the slightest idea about her.

Because it is the new house of Deng She and Luo Guannu, this courtyard is very large. I passed through two doors in a row, and walked through a long verandah before I came to the main room. Yue Wa first entered the pass inside, after a while, that is, came out, and knelt down, five bodies to the ground, respectfully bowed very much, and asked Deng She to come in.

Deng Sheda walked inside, and when he took a look, there was more than Luo Guannu in the room.

There was also the maid named Chuwa, and another maiden. All the girls were originally gathered around the bed, looking at the colored satin and other things sent by the Luo family to Luo Guannu, but at this time, when they saw Deng She entering, they all turned around, Chu Wa and the girl bowed down, and Luo Guannu was happy to work diligently and greeted him with a smile.

Deng She glanced at the bed, then looked at Chu Wa and the girl, smiled and said to Luo Guannu: "Lady, what is the happy event, so happy?" ”

Luo Guannu replied, "Daddy, come and see." Many of the things sent by my family are slaves and have never seen them! I don't know where I got my daddy from. "Calling Deng She is "Daddy", and calling Luo Lilang is also "Daddy". Although Deng She was used to hearing her like this, it was not easy to help but laugh at this time. He smiled and said, "You have married me today and become Princess Yan." Of course, your father will look for rare things to give you a strong face. lest others spread that your mother's family is not generous enough. ”

Walked to the bedside, picked up two satins in his hand, and looked at the sunlight outside the window. He didn't know much about it, so he rubbed it with his hand and said, "Yes, it's very smooth." It's soft enough, too. ”

"Daddy, you said, the slave's father sent so much to the slave, and he could fill a big bed, how much is it worth? And that's not just that, but that, those, those. Luo Guannu grabbed Deng She, circled around the room, and gave him instructions one by one. Only then did Deng She realize that there were stacked gift boxes everywhere.

Previously, although he personally went to greet the Luo family's gift-giver, he didn't care about the amount of the gift, and directly ordered his subordinates to send it to Luo Guannu. At this time, Luo Lilang's handwriting is really not small.

Speaking of which, the dowry gift that Deng She sent to the Luo family was actually not too much, so Deng She smiled and said, "Your father can be regarded as a loss this time." Luo Guannu didn't comply, pursed his lips, and said, "How can Daddy say that!" This is the slave's father, who loves the slave. Deng She laughed, squatted down, touched Luo Guannu's lower abdomen, and said, "Anu, don't move." Come and listen to the movement. ”

Luo Guannu has been pregnant for several months, and her lower abdomen is slightly visible.

She was ashamed and happy, so she hurriedly stood still, put her hand under her stomach, raised her lower abdomen, let Deng She stroke it, and said, "This morning, the slave seems to feel that he kicked the slave." Deng She listened and smiled: "It's only been a few months? Will kick people? It's good to kick people, lively and active, and he must be a brat! While speaking, he didn't hear the movement in Luo Guannu's abdomen, but he heard someone behind him.

He turned his head and saw that it was the girl. It was vaguely familiar, and when I thought about it, it was Li Baokou, the daughter of Li Aguan.

She was seen wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a lapel, a silk skirt, and a ribbon around her waist. Lying on the ground, a pair of slender jade hands are exposed at the cuffs; The clothes are not up to the waist, showing a touch of white. He wears a tortoiseshell crown on his forehead and a comb of ivory in his black hair. But although he is young, he has already reached his stature. The eyebrows are picturesque, and there is a dusty posture.

Deng Sheshi didn't take a closer look, but at this time, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

This dress was worn by Li Aguan when he was in Haidong earlier. If it is paired with Li Baokou's very similar appearance to his mother, it is clearly another Li Aguan. It's just that if compared with Li Aguan, it is one size smaller, less charming than a woman, but it is also more immature and unique to girls.

Why did Li Aguan send Li Baokou to Yidu thousands of miles away? Deng She is still very clear about Li Aguan's thoughts. He was very unhappy about this. However, to be honest, his dissatisfaction is not because of Li Aguan's thoughts, although Deng She is not absurd, but now he is definitely not a righteous gentleman. His dissatisfaction was more because of Li Aguan's own ideas.

Maybe it's nature, maybe it's out of caution about power, he doesn't like women who think they're smart. It's okay to compete for favor. But he couldn't send Li Baokou without authorization before getting his consent. What is this? Chop before play? Who does he think of Dunshe? At their mercy? Too presumptuous.

Therefore, because of his dissatisfaction with Li Aguan, he is also very unkind to Li Baokou. After looking at Li Baokou a few times, Deng She said, "You two are exempt." Li Baokou was remorseful. She had been kneeling for a long time just now, her knees were slightly numb, and she accidentally tilted her body and bumped the ring around her waist.

She pretended to be scared, scolded herself, and thought, "How careless! Knowing that this bad guy is moody, he just disturbs him when he is happy. If you annoy him because of this, it doesn't matter if you are beaten to the board, if he is angry, he will pull him out and kill him. But how can you avenge your father! ”

Suddenly remembering Luo Guannu's name for Deng She, she secretly snorted and hurriedly changed her name to Li Dunru, "But how can she avenge her father!" On second thought, "No, it's Anu who calls this bad guy daddy, and I don't call this bad guy daddy." Why did I change my tune? Doesn't this change mean that I also call this bad guy daddy? Bah! Bah! He changed his name again, "But how can he avenge his father!" ”

In the end, Luo Guannu called Deng She like this, or he faintly felt that it was inappropriate. But he was stubborn and refused to change. She gritted her teeth and stood up with Chuva.

"What are you gritting your teeth for?"

But although Li Baokou has the ambition of revenge, he is not deeply involved in the world, and the city is too shallow. When Dunshe's not paying attention to her, it probably doesn't matter; Now that Deng She happened to be looking at her, he immediately noticed the expression she had unintentionally revealed. Hearing Deng She's words, Li Baokou was bluffed, his face changed color, and his fake fear suddenly turned into real fear, and he knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and said, "Slave, slave." ”

"How?"

In a hurry, Li Bao panicked and said: "The slave family has been grinding their teeth since childhood. My mother usually has a lot of lessons for the slave family, saying that this is unruly and undignified. However, slaves and slaves really can't control it. Please calm your anger, the slave family is willing to be punished. As soon as the words came out, it was a little easier; After explaining, her mind calmed down for a while, but then, she regretted it again, "It's really annoying! Even Anu didn't know about grinding my teeth, but why didn't he pay attention and tell this bad man? ”

It's annoyance, regret, and even more because of the girl's nature, it's shameful, and anxious. She couldn't help but blush. Because he didn't know if this explanation could satisfy Deng She, he fell to the ground, only to feel his heart pounding, his hands sweating, and his head hooked lower and lower. He didn't dare to look up at Dunshe.

There is a word, "not angry, but mighty". Deng Shenai was killed from the battlefield, and he held the power for a long time, and he had a cold face, even fierce generals like Monk Li and Guo Conglong were all arrogant and did not dare to make a sound, and bent their knees like sheep. What's more, Li Baokou is a little girl? Therefore, although Fang Cai Deng She just asked usually, Li Baokou was also afraid and shocked, blurted out, and told the secret of his daughter's boudoir.

Luo Guannu was afraid that Deng She would be angry, so he was busy interceding with his friend, and said coquettishly: "Daddy! The duckling didn't mean to make you angry. Why bother with her? ”

"Duckling?"

"Daddy doesn't know? This is the nickname of Baokou. Add the word "ugly", which is an ugly duckling. That's a good name. Deng She couldn't help but smile and said to Li Baokou: "You get up." ”

When Li Baokou got up, he saw that her face was red and white, and he knew that he must have been frightened, so he didn't care, and continued to talk to Luo Guannu. But he didn't know that because of Luo Guannu's plea, Li Baokou was even more embarrassed. Molar teeth let Deng She know, and now even the nickname is known to him. How embarrassing! How embarrassing!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Yue Wa came in and said, "Your Highness, the entourage outside the courtyard said that there was a military report coming from the front line. Deng She looked at the sky outside, it had only been a long time, why had there been another military report? instructed Li Baokou and the maids to take care of Luo Guannu, and he hurriedly walked outside.

Walk through the verandah, pass the door, walk back the same way, and come to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing that in addition to the entourage, there was one more person. Thousands of households are dressed up and have handsome appearances. Deng She recognized it, it was Liu San, and he couldn't help but be strange, and asked, "Why did you come back?" Suddenly, I guessed a possibility, and I was surprised and delighted, and said, "Could it be?" ”

Liu San gave a military salute and said loudly: "Tell Your Highness, our army has won a great victory." Jinan has been taken! ”
