Fu Yi said that he didn't need a certificate to recognize a daughter, but it was true. Han Song went to see General Liu's wife again, and the matter was over. She thought that Jiang's wish was granted, and she should relax her discipline. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family knew that they had the intention of treating her with a set of great courtesy, and there were more servants who came and went. Han Song's heart was unresolved, and he didn't want people to get close. After a few days, both sides were tired.

On this morning, Han Song was sitting on the ground and an elderly maid was combing his hair. The maid's movements were very gentle, but she stared at the bronze mirror, and her heart was worried. At this time, Jiang led a girl in her early teens over and said, "There should have been a girl of a similar age by the little boy's side. Recently, a group of newcomers have entered the house, and the maid saw that there was a young one, so he was going to come over. ”

The girl wore a simple beard, and looked very thin in a thick cotton robe, and bowed deeply on the floor. Han Song saw that she was nervous and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl lowered her head and replied softly, "The slave is called Xiaomei at home." ”

Jiang said: "Such a girl has no name, what the little boy likes, just give her one." ”

Han Song felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and said, "I don't know how to name it." ”

She looked at the girl, didn't know what to say, and said, "Then you can accompany me to school." ”

Jiang said: "It's snowing heavily today, and the little boy is wearing a coat." ”

When the maid on the side heard this, she brought a light-colored short fur cloak. Han Song wore the cloak, as if it was pressed against his body like a quilt, and couldn't help but say, "I don't want to wear it, it's too heavy." ”

Jiang said: "This is the hostess's clothes when she was a girl, it is too big." The Chinese New Year is about to begin, and the house is buying leather, and soon a new one will be made for the little boy, and the craftsman must be told to make it lighter. ”

When she said this, Han Song was a little aggrieved. When she saw the maidservant girl named Xiaomei kneeling on the side in an ill-fitting cotton robe, she was even more embarrassed and silently asked Jiang to put it on herself. Sure enough, after wearing it, she only had the strength to walk, and the little sister didn't say a word, holding up an umbrella for her and following aside.

The Jiang family also wanted to send someone to send them, but Han Song was suspicious of many people and refused. When I went out, I saw the wind and snow howling, and it was really difficult to walk. The two of them went to the building on the other side, and in addition to the cloister, they had to pass through a snow-covered atrium. The little sister herself was just a child, and she tried hard to hold an umbrella for Han Song, and the tips of her shoulders were soon covered with snowflakes. Han Song was very apologetic when he saw it, and said, "I have a cloak, you can make your own umbrella." ”

The little sister whispered: "Thank you, little lady, I ...... It doesn't matter if you're a slave. ”

Her language was different from Jiang's, so Han Song asked, "Are you a local?" ”

Xiaomei said, "Yes." ”

Han Song wanted to ask her about the situation at home, but he was afraid that he would be sad and had nothing to say for a while. Fortunately, this distance was not very long, and soon the two entered a hall on the east side, where a lot of charcoal fire was burned, and the heating was blowing in their faces. The hall was used for reading, and on one side of the passage there were several chambers for servants to answer the call and prepare tea. Han Song took off the cloak, and the little sister took the umbrella and took it from her. Han Song wanted to say thank you, but she had already lowered her head and retreated to a side room.

The hall was quite spacious, with more than a dozen desks neatly arranged, each corresponding to a boy, all of whom looked like teenagers. But at this time, no one was reading and reading, and they were all gathered at the table in groups of threes and twos, chattering and talking.

One of the boys was dressed in blue, it was Liu Buqi, he saw Han Song from a distance, he was a little surprised, got up and came to the door to greet her, and said, "Why did you come here?" ”

Han Song said: "I went to see Madame, and Madame asked me to go to school with you." I asked Aunt Jiang earlier, and she said you are here. ”

She looked around and hesitated, "Isn't there a class today?" ”

He did not give up: "Mr. today did not come to ......"

At this time, the other boys were very surprised when they saw Han Song and Buqi talking, and they all rushed forward to look at it and asked, "Where did the little sister come from?" ”

The attitude of not giving up was very solemn, and he introduced: "Qingshuang is a child of the Xiling Hou family, my cousin niece, and my mother asked her to take classes with us. ”

Han Song saluted when he heard this. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw that her little face was very serious, and said: "Since we go to school together, we should talk about it as equals!" ”

The little boys also returned the salute. Libi said with a smile: "Sister, don't be sad, all the people in this house are Uncle Ji's nephews!" ”

It turns out that this family is the only one who does not abandon his high seniority, so it is no wonder that no one asks him to play on weekdays.

He explained: "It was good when you came, Mr. Wu went to class every morning, left school at noon, and rested on the tenth day. But Mr. To-day is not there, and only one question is left for us. ”

Han Song asked, "What's the question?" ”

Bu Qi led her to the front of the hall, and saw a few cases in front of her, nailed to a thin silk, on which a figure was drawn with stick figures, a city located in the intersection of mountains and rivers. Next to the line of small print reads:

"Today there is a city between the mountains and rivers, with a thousand foot soldiers and three thousand naval troops, and the city lord does not come out of the wall.

Thou hast tens of thousands of foot soldiers, and there are no chariots and ships, how can you take them? ”

Han Song read the topic, and was surprised and admired: he is worthy of being a child of the general's family, and he does the topic of marching and fighting at a young age.

The portrait was as abstract as the map she had seen before, with two diagonal lines next to the city showing mountains and a wave of water. Han Song felt that the simplicity of this image was dispensable, but at first glance, he felt a vague familiarity. She stared at the icon for a few more moments, and a picture popped into her mind. It was the night scene she had seen from the cramped fishing boat: the water was lit with fire, a steep cliff on one side, a wide river on the other, and a large black city between the mountains and rivers......

This is Miancheng! It's just that the diagonal has turned around, but the situation of the mountains and rivers has not changed.

She once wondered, what is the relationship between the so-called Mianshan camp and Miancheng? It sounds like a big city in Honshu, and independent of the nearby military districts. There is only one day's journey between the two places, and Fu Yi can defect to General Liu, but he will be arrested by the guards of Miancheng, which shows that the governors of the two places are not close. But if Miancheng is on Xu Jian's side, isn't Liu Zongyuan the same at present?

Is he too protective of his nephew, or is he also thinking about other routes?

She thought of a long way for a moment, but she didn't give up but thought she was frightened, and said, "Don't worry, there are no such questions on weekdays." ”

Han Song asked, "Not on weekdays?" ”

He didn't give up and said: "Mr. Wu just teaches articles and arithmetic, where does he care about the march?" We all guessed it was my father. ”

Han Song said: "Why did he ask such a question? ”

He didn't give up: "It's testing us, before my brother entered the office, my father gave him three questions." ”

Han Song asked again, "Then how do you answer?" ”

He didn't give up and said: "Everyone is still discussing, since Mr. left the topic, it means that it can be discussed." ”

He was afraid that Han Song would be bored, so he proposed: "Since Qingshuang is here, it is better to ask Qingshuang to be the host." ”

A group of teenagers saw Han Song wearing a lotus cotton skirt, his eyes were bright, and he was very cute, and they all smiled and agreed. Han Song walked to the map and said, "Which brother said first?" ”

The teenagers saw that she was not stage frightened, and they applauded, and one of them shouted: "I'll come first!" ”

This young man looked older than Bu Qi, wearing a red hairband, and got up and said in a crepe manner: "In the Xia Zai clan, my sister calls me Liu Sixteen." ”

The young man next to him coaxed: "Do you still want to read your life history again?" ”

Sixteen shrugged away his classmates, and said: "My solution is like this: since the city refuses to fight, I will use the method of agitation and scold outside the city every day, until the city lord can bear it anymore and lead the troops out, and I can defeat it with a large army!" ”

He was subdued and frustrated, supplemented by gestures, which was very dramatic. The teenagers laughed and scolded. Han Song nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”

Everyone laughed when they saw that she had something to do on her little face, and Liu Sixteen also laughed: "Where does it make sense?" ”

Han Song felt that he was deliberately joking, so he just echoed him. Before she could answer, one of them said, "Nonsense! ”

Han Song followed the prestige, he was a young man in the back row, he looked a little similar to Liu Sixteen, but his face was cold and hard, as if he was ready to be angry at any time. He said: "Brother is always not serious! The title states that if the city lord can't hold on, he wants you to send troops to break it. If you know, why do you want to be perfunctory? ”

Liu Sixteen was not angry, and said with a smile: "Okay, the nineteenth brother is reasonable, the foolish brother has been taught." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I have several times more than the other party, and I can attack head-on." Since there are mountains and forests on the side of the city, it is enough to use local materials to make equipment, use a long ladder to climb over the city wall, and use beams and wood to impact the city gate. ”

Liu Shijiu said: "What about me shooting arrows from the corner tower?" ”

Liu Sixteen said: "I will protect it with a shield." ”

Liu Shijiu said: "I poured boiling water from the city to stop it." ”

Liu Sixteen said: "You are short of manpower and can't last. I won't retreat. ”

Liu Shijiu said: "I went out to attack from the rear with arrows, and you have no boats and can't stop it." ”

Liu Sixteen leaned in front of the map and glanced at it, and said, "You can wander in the river, but you don't dare to go ashore." I fought back with my archers, but I still didn't retreat. ”

When two twelve or thirteen-year-old boys talked about attacking the city, they actually went back and forth, and they played against each other as if they were in the scene, and there was a sound of swords between their words. The boys around listened attentively. The two exchanged for more than ten rounds, Liu Sixteen said the last move, and Liu Nineteen was silent. After a while, he said, "In that case, you can count it as feasible." ”

Liu Sixteen's serious face suddenly disappeared, and he exclaimed, "My brother is so harsh!" I answered your questioning, trembling, and only then did I get the word 'may'! ”

Liu Shijiu snorted and remained silent.

The next discussion was much simpler, some people proposed a fire attack, some people said that they would use a counter-strategy, some people wanted to fly into the city from the mountains on a big kite, and some even proposed a beauty plan.

Liu Buqi probably regarded himself as an elder, deliberately humble, and only spoke at the end of his turn. He thought for a while and said, "The twenty-third brother said that I have a strategy for digging the city wall, which is slightly different...... I have heard that the ancients could dig the ground as a passage, and if there were capable craftsmen who dug tunnels from outside the city to the city, and then let the soldiers enter the city by surprise, they could also break the city. ”

This strategy sounds really labor-intensive and technically tested, and Han Song is quite skeptical about its feasibility. But in the end, it can be regarded as creativity, and she also seriously praised: "It makes sense." ”

A boy suddenly said, "Nineteen hasn't said yet!" ”

Liu Nineteen was the arrogant young man who debated before, and everyone looked at him when they heard this. Han Song saw that he was calm and didn't say a word, so he relieved himself and said: "Although Brother Nineteen has not proposed a solution, he has already spoken......" Before the words fell, Liu Nineteen had already stood up and said proudly: "I still have a solution." ”

When Han Song heard his name, he always felt a little kind, and said with a smile: "Please speak." ”

Liu 19 said: "Looking at the situation, this city is built near the river, in the valley. Since I had enough men, I took advantage of the flood season to build an embankment to divert the water, so that the river could pour into the city. Even if the defenders did not drown, they could not fight and would have to surrender. ”

After a moment of silence, Liu Sixteen had already raised his hand to applaud, clapped his hands, and put it down again.

All the teenagers looked at each other. Han Song also felt a chill. She said, "Brother Nineteen, I don't think this method will work. ”

Liu Shijiu said coldly: "Why? During the Seven Kingdoms, Wu Anjun once led water to irrigate the city. ”

Bu Qi frowned and said: "Ah Jun, the two armies are fighting, and it is the soldiers who are killed and wounded. If you flood the city, all the city will die. ”

Liu Shijiu said: "The question did not ask how many living people you want to keep. ”

Liu Sixteen Zhengse said: "Send troops to seize the city, how can you want a dead city?" If you lead your troops elsewhere, how can others believe you when they know that the leader is so brutal? Ah Jun, you always talk about my faults on weekdays, and now I want to talk about your faults. You act too extremely, as soon as there is a setback, you will fight to the death of a fish, in fact, we are just talking about playing, why is it so! ”

Liu Shijiu said angrily: "It's just a question, why is it so far?" Isn't it a way to irrigate the city? Besides, who said that a brutal general could not win the hearts of the people? Zhang Pinglin slaughtered eight counties in Mobei, and when he went south, his hands were softer, and the world praised him for being tolerant of people. People's hearts are like poplars in the wind, just tossing and turning, who will remember what you have done before? ”

Han Song said coldly: "How do you know? ”

Several people turned to her when they heard this, and Han Song said, "I was in the city when General Zhang attacked Liangcheng. There were corpses everywhere in the fire, all civilians, and I thought at the time, I will never forget this scene. ”

Suddenly, I heard a laugh and said, "It's very ambitious!" ”

All the teenagers were startled and stood up one after another. I saw the two of them walk through the corridor into the hall. At the head of the group was a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a burly figure and a majestic face, and a long scar at the corner of his eye. There was a kind of calm momentum in this person's demeanor, and when Han Song saw it, he guessed that it was probably General Liu Zongyuan. He was followed by a young man with a scroll in his hand. This man has black hair and a sharp and heroic face, but he has a slender body, protruding cheekbones, and a large collar coat, which makes him look very sickly.

He cried out, "Father! ”

Liu Zongyuan responded, he had a scar on his face, he looked very fierce, he didn't give up but his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, he looked like a loving father, and said softly: "I've come to see Mr. Yin." ”

All the young men saluted the young man, and this man smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, in Xia Yinyun, I am entrusted by General Yangwei to teach the young master." ”

He stretched out the scroll in his hand, tapped it on the shoulders of Liu Sixteen and Liu Nineteen respectively, and said, "There are also these two sons." ”

Liu Buqi and Liu Sixteen were very happy and immediately fell to the ground. Liu Shijiu stared at him, and his movements slowed down, as if he was a little suspicious.

Yin Yun didn't mind, but said, "It's polite." ”

He turned his head again, looked at Han Song and said, "Is this also a child of the general's clan?" ”

General Liu's gaze also fell on Han Song, and his thick eyebrows were raised, obviously not recognizing who she was. Bu hurriedly said: "Father, this is the daughter brought back by my cousin." ”

General Liu sighed and said, "There is such a thing, this is-" Probably this matter is a little complicated, he paused for a moment and said, "When Mr. came several times, he missed it with Zhong Ming. This is the adopted daughter of the Xiling Hou family, and now she is sent to my house. ”

Yin Yun listened, turned to Han Song and said, "The son-in-law is young and very knowledgeable. ”

Han Song saw that there was no snow on him, probably because he was already sitting in the cubicle listening to their discussions. Although Yin Yun looked sickly, his eyes were dark and very sharp when he stared. She was taken by its momentum, a little cramped, and said, "It's just a feeling." ”

Yin Yun saw that she was short and wanted to lean over to talk to her. But as soon as he bent down, the cloak fell heavily to the ground, and as if he could not hold the robe, he sat down on several cases. This person behaved very freely, but his tone was very kind, and said: "Since the little girl came to the school today, it is better to answer this question as well." ”

Han Song glanced at Liu Zongyuan, the general had a look of surprise on his face, and did not stop him. She knew that this was an opportunity, but everything she could say was exhausted by the Liu family brothers, and where did she read the art of war, and she almost broke out in a cold sweat for a while. Yin Yun saw that she couldn't answer, smiled slightly, and said, "That-"

Han Song suddenly remembered the map, and a flash of inspiration flashed and said, "I think that although the city governor can protect himself, he must also be anxious. We are far superior to him, and if I send men to consult with him for union, we will be able to take this city without fighting. ”

Yin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is he anxious? ”

Han Song said: "You are in danger, but you can only wait for others to fight, why not rush?" ”

Yin Yun said again: "What can he do when he goes out?" ”

Han Song said: "There must be many places to go in the mountains and rivers. ”

Yin Yun paused, and suddenly asked, "You said that when Zhang Pinglin attacked Liang City, you were in the city?" ”

Han Song said: "Yes, my father-in-law took me across the river from Danyan to Yuzhou. ”

When she had finished, the room was quiet. The young man on the side had a confused look on his face. Han Song's eyes stared at a vertical line on Yin Yun's neckline, and his heart was pounding with nervousness. Yin Yun's eyes swept around her face, raised his head and said to Liu Zongyuan: "Yun wants to accept a female disciple, can the little marquis agree?" ”

General Liu also looked at Han Song for a moment and said, "Since Qianguang is not afraid of trouble, I will talk to Zhong Ming." ”

Han Song breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted Yin Yun, and remembered to thank General Liu, so he was in a hurry for a while. Yin Yun's face was sharp, and she was quite patient with the child, and when she stood up straight, she asked, "What is the little girl called?" ”

Han Song said: "The student's name is Song, and he is usually called Qingshuang. ”

Yin Yun read it again and said with a smile: "When I was young, my elders often said that children are too smart and may not live long, but in fact, it is true. Do you share this concern in your family? ”

The new teacher's words sounded like a curse, not only Han Song's face was confused, but Liu Buqi and the others on the side were also stunned. Yin Yun couldn't help laughing when she saw her open mouth. He made a gesture to his feet, and his movements were very slow, as if he were in some pain. Several teenagers hurriedly went up to help him, he shook his hand, stood up straight, and said, "I live in Xiyuan. On the occasion of the double day, please invite a few sons to study with me. ”
