"Little Thirteen, are they back?" After drinking two sips of porridge, Shen Haolin remembered the shadows sent out by him, and explained, "I'll let them go to the border to observe, it's an eventful time now, let's be more prepared." ”

"I came back yesterday morning." Shen Cha nodded, and said very blandly, "After you come back, the military advisor will be responsible for receiving it." ”

"Jin Jing? What can he do? Oh! As soon as the words came out, Shen Haolin reacted in hindsight, he touched his nose, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sick, and they have been punished, haven't I?" ”

"It's good that my brother knows." Shen Cha put a little green vegetables into Shen Haolin's porridge bowl, "While letting them remember for a long time, we must also let my brother remember that no matter what happens, no matter what situation they are in, there can be no one around, and at least one of the three of them must stay." ”

"I remember, I won't let you worry about it again." Shen Haolin stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Cha's face, "Don't be so serious, come, laugh!" ”

The corners of Shen Cha's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly pulled out an arc.

"How are the three boys now?" Stuffing a quail egg into Shen Cha's mouth, Shen Haolin turned the page of the strip Chen in his hand, "Give them to Jin Jing, that kid is happy, right?" It's been days since you've been tasked with teaching the Shadows a lesson, and his hands are itching. ”

"That's right, it's a pity that he can't be entertained this time, after all, these three boys don't mean to make mistakes. The military advisor has shown mercy, and they are alive again after a few days of recuperation, and the elder brother does not have to worry. ”

"They're innocent, so give them a few more days off and have a good rest." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha and smiled, "With you by my side, I don't need other people at all, right?" ”

"This one is natural." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, ate the last chicken wonton in the bowl, shook her head proudly at Shen Haolin, who wanted to divert her attention but didn't succeed, and said, "In terms of kung fu, the people in this mansion, one counts as one, which one is my opponent?" Even my brother shouldn't have the confidence to beat me, right? I was a bodyguard for my brother, and that was a fitting fit. ”

"Then it's decided, Cha'er will be my guard, and my net worth and life will be entrusted to you." Shen Haolin put down the empty bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "What useful news can those boys bring back?" Is there any change in Liaojin? ”

"In the event of a change, both countries have invariably strengthened border precautions. The news sent back by Xiao Min and the people we planted in Yiqing Mansion confirmed this. There is no large-scale transfer of troops in the country, and all the movements of the army have taken place at the border, not only against us, but also against each other, and even the border towns have been sealed down. Shen Cha put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Based on these circumstances, I thought there was no need to worry too much, they might just be in case someone would sneak attack them at this time." ”

"I don't think so." Shen Haolin shook his head slightly, "They may have other plans for doing this." ”

"Brother is worried that Liaojin will raise troops at this time?" Shen Cha put away all the dishes and chopsticks on the tray, put them aside, and said, "Won't it?" Judging from the news coming out of Liaojin, the situation they are currently experiencing is far more serious than we thought. Liao is now experiencing a snow disaster, including Linhuang Mansion, it has been snowing for nearly a month, the situation in Linhuang Mansion and the surrounding counties is better, and the snow in other state capitals is already very thick, and it is a difficult thing to go out, let alone gather troops and prepare for war. What's more, in such cold weather, countless pigs, cattle and sheep froze to death, and there was no way to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army. ”

"Is there enough food and grass for the border armies?"

"Yes, very sufficient." Shen Cha nodded, "Yelu attaches the most importance to the border army, all the generals are single-handedly pulled up by him, and it can be said that he is the henchman of the henchmen, so he will not watch the border army run out of food." Every year before the onset of winter, Yelu allocates enough grain and grass to support the border until the beginning of spring, and this year is no exception. ”

"In this way, even if the country is very hard, the sergeants guarding the border will not be hungry." Shen Haolin sighed, "Yelu knows what is important and who is the most important. ”

"Yes, the people of Liao have no objection to this move, not only do they have no objections, but they are quite supportive." Shen Cha handed Shen Haolin a cup of hot water, "Originally, I was worried that the Liao Kingdom would be disheartened by this catastrophe, and there would be more people who opposed Yelu, so Yelu came to us for trouble in order to divert the domestic contradictions." I didn't expect ...... People are working together! ”

"His reputation in Liao is much higher than that of the current King of Liao, and many people support him as king. If it were the King of Liao, he would definitely be resentful. Shen Haolin rinsed his mouth, raised his head and asked, "How is the situation on Jin's side, are you still confronting?" ”

"Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping are about to come to a catastrophe, and those nobles still oppose them, and they don't agree to rescue those victims at all. And ......" Shen Cha shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Now it's not only the nobles who oppose them, but also the gentry and wealthy merchants in the state capitals who are on the side of the nobles, and they don't care about Wanyan Ping and Wanyan Zongcheng's words at all." ”

"How so? I remember that before I got sick, it wasn't that serious. ”

"What kind of person is Wanyan Zongcheng, doesn't my brother remember? How self-righteous and toss-up he is! Shen Cha showed a contemptuous smile and took a piece of outer cloth for Shen Haolin to put on, "Before, he asked the nobles to cooperate with the disaster relief, but those nobles had no one to pay attention to him, he was very displeased, so he sent someone to smash the shop opened by the leading nobleman's house." The people who sent them didn't know what they thought, so they smashed all the shops and houses on that street, and looted everything. Shen Cha sneered, "Brother just said that the people's grievances are boiling, which is the true portrayal of Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping's father and daughter at this time. The peace of this Yiqing Mansion has been disturbed by this smashing and looting, and the wind in the city that has abolished Yan Zongcheng is afraid that it has already blown. ”

"Are your people mixed in?" Shen Haolin shook Shen Cha's hand, "With such a bustle, you don't plan to get together?" ”

"I've warned them to wait and see what happens, and not to get involved in it, it's better to hide and watch the show in the dark at this time." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "If you accidentally show your feet, the hard work of the past few years will be in vain." ”

"This is not only a waste of hard work, but also an excuse for people to crusade. Since they have raised the vigilance of the city defense, we must also follow the example, otherwise, if Yelu or Wanyan feel that their lives are not good, and they don't want us to have a good time, and they make trouble for us, and we don't have a defense, it will not be good. ”

"What my brother said is that I, Brother Xiaotian, and the military advisor think the same thing." Shen Cha nodded, stood up and walked behind the bookcase, took out a few pieces of paper, and handed them to Shen Haolin. "This is our initial plan, in addition to the defense of the city, the city will also be on higher alert. Although we have caught a lot of fine work, there are still fish that have slipped through the net. Even if Liaojin will not raise troops to attack at this time, it is very possible to secretly order the fine work in the city to create some chaos during the New Year. ”

"I went with me." Shen Haolin looked at the preliminary plan, "Cancel the vacation of some soldiers?" ”

"That's the plan, but it still needs the marshal's consent, and if the elder brother doesn't agree, this proposal can only be nullified."

"I agree to this proposal, but there are also conditions, as for what the conditions are, we will discuss them later."

"Yes!" Shen Cha took a pen and paper from the bookcase, "Brother, I don't think the ban in force now needs to be lifted, the city gate is still closed, and you can't enter and leave at will without the tokens of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Marquis of Wuding, and the Shen Family." The squad of tower patrols has been increased from 10 to 20 people, and they are rotated every two hours. The number of soldiers guarding the gates has been increased from the current eight to twelve, and the number is rotated every hour. There are now 10 patrolling teams in the city, which have increased to 20 from the 23rd day of the lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, and each team has increased from the current 10 to 15 people. Shen Cha said as he wrote them down, "In addition, I also thought of setting up two special squads, all composed of Shadows, each team of twenty people, in groups of two, scattered throughout the city. What I'm hesitant about right now is whether to pull out the newcomers in the camp and let them practice their skills as well. ”

"That's a good idea, why not?"

"Inexperienced, easy to lag behind!" Shen Cha pouted, "Maybe there will be more than enough success!" ”

"Don't think like that, newcomers have the benefits of newcomers, maybe they will surprise us!" Shen Haolin looked out the window, "The wind is blowing, the first heavy snow of the year is coming!" ”
