The soldiers and horses in western Zhejiang did not intrude on Huainan Road, but the villages and towns located on the border were ready for battle.

There were no longer bustling pedestrians on the main road, the merchant shantytowns near the city walls all disappeared and became a leveled place for marching troops to process, and the outer city gathering place built around the inner city, the people also moved to the city with their families, and the shacks where they originally lived were demolished, and the potholes were everywhere to the eye.

Above the potholes, a group of children ran with baskets on their backs and sprinkled a patch of thistle.

In the future, this will be a line of defense for the rebels when they attack the city.

And it doesn't take much effort to do this, it doesn't take a lot of effort, it doesn't take a lot of hands, a group of kids is enough.

Standing on the high city wall, Zhang Qing nodded with satisfaction, after his efforts.... Of course, the main reason is the position of the good brother Lian Xiaojun in front of the Lady of Chu State, and he was assigned to take charge of a city.

This is much more difficult to do in charge of the city than before, and the daily affairs are handled by civilian officials, but for those who verify the population, punish those who violate discipline, and expel criminals who are judged to be chaotic people, etc., he needs to bring soldiers and horses to do it, although he does not dare to complain, but he feels really annoying in his heart.....

Isn't the most important thing in this troubled era to train troops and prepare for horses? How to toss these fart people all day long, now he understands, what is the use of these trivial fart people, with an order, it only took half a day to achieve the strong wall and clear the wilderness, and there was no chaos when so many people poured into the city at once, according to the original division of A, B, C, D, seven and eight were quickly assigned and placed in different streets and alleys.

The outer city, which was originally used to house the people, was instantly transformed into a trench defense.

Everything has rules, the people are used to it, and although the atmosphere is tense, there is not the slightest chaos in the city.

Zhang Qing withdrew his gaze from the city and looked into the distance, a hundred miles away is the western border of Zhejiang.

"Isn't there any movement?" He asked the adjutant general.

The adjutant nodded and reaffirmed the recent report: "The rebels here are stationed in the city and have not crossed the border from us. ”

Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "If I think about it, I know that they don't dare to provoke us." ”

After all, he was one of them.

But now it's not, you can't be greedy for life and afraid of death, Zhang Qing glanced at the deputy general beside him, put away his joy and said solemnly: "It's just that the soldiers and people of Jiangnan Province are in trouble." ”

He looked ahead, held his waist knife, and immediately rushed to Jiangnan Province to kill the enemy as soon as he gave the order.

"Hasn't Mrs. Chu ordered us to support yet?"

The adjutant said, "No." ”

Zhang Qing held the knife and said solemnly: "Madame must be rushing to the aid of Linzhou to kill the enemy." ”

Everybody thinks the same way, and many people talk about the old things.

"When the first emperor died, Ankang Mountain rebelled, King Zhao of Lu was attacked and besieged, Wudu Governor led an army of 100,000 to Linzhou, and Mrs. Chu went to Yizhou to save King Zhao."

"At that time, the governor of Wudu was close to Linzhou, and the wife of Chu was close to Yizhou, and the husband and wife worked together in the division of labor, although King Zhao was unfortunately killed, but King Lu was rescued in time."

"This time, the governor of Wudu is far away in Xiangzhou and can't help, and of course Mrs. Chu will take on the heavy responsibility."

Not only did they talk about the old things, but they also expected the results.

"What King Zheng led the troops, he is the son of Ankang Mountain, and there was also a son of Ankang Mountain last time, who came to Huainan Road and was killed by Mrs. Chu State."

"This time this will definitely be killed by Mrs. Chu Guo."

Everyone clearly understands the situation of the war, the latest movements are posted in front of the yamen of every city, although the entry and exit are strictly checked, the curfew, and the soldiers and horses gallop, but the people on the street are calmly drinking tea and talking about the world's affairs.

Mrs. Chu Guo galloped to Linzhou and Mrs. Chu Guo will definitely win, everyone is of the same opinion, but some people also have some worries.

If Mrs. Chu gallops to the aid of Linzhou, she will definitely take away a lot of soldiers and horses, so will Huainan Road be dangerous? After all, it is close to the rebels of Xi'an Dezhong in Zhejiang.

This person reminded everyone of the hidden uneasiness in their hearts, but they couldn't think of how to solve it, and finally someone said, "What we thought of, how could Mrs. Chu not think of it!" Mrs. Chu will definitely have an arrangement. Everyone suddenly realized that since Mrs. Chu had an arrangement, everything would be worry-free, and they continued to discuss the upcoming Linzhou War happily.

Compared with the relaxation of the people who couldn't see Mrs. Chu in Huainan Province, Wang Li, who was sitting in the courtyard of Mrs. Chu, was as heavy as the bottom of a pot.

"When can I see Madame?" He asked the boy sitting in front of him holding a bowl of steamed pears to eat.

Xiao Tong is actually not too young, about ten years old, about the same as Wu Xiao.

Wearing a fur fur, stepping on the stove under his feet, the bowl in his hand is as white as snow, and there is a red on the side of the bowl, this bowl looks better than a pear.

The little boy carefully and attentively dug the pear meat with a small spoon, bit it into his mouth and said vaguely: "I don't know." Madame is busy. ”

Wang Li was tired of hearing these two sentences, and said the request that he was tired of saying: "You go and ask." ”

Although the child replied in the same way, he never refused the request of the guest, bit the spoon and nodded, put down the bowl and was about to leave, and then picked up the spoon and stuffed the pear into his mouth in two bites......

Wang Li glared: "I won't eat you!" ”

The boy finished eating the pear and wiped his mouth: "I know, I know." "I said goodbye and ran away.

Wang vigorously took the empty bowl with only pear peel left, and wanted to fall..... It should be expensive, he put it back and looked at the little spoon in the bowl, or golden?

Really? Eat just a pear.....

Wang Li couldn't help but pick it up, put it to his mouth and bite the spoon.....

"Hah!" The child's shout came, accompanied by the footsteps of the pedal, "Look! You're going to steal it! ”

Wang Li was ashamed and angry, and threw the spoon back into the bowl, and he couldn't explain it, the adults and children in this thief's den were too annoying.

Fortunately, the next sentence of the little boy was not so annoying: "Madame is back and wants to see you." ”

Wang Li got up and kicked off the soft cushion under him, strode along the corridor, walked to the little boy and stopped, and said solemnly: "Do you know Wu Xiao? ”

Xiao Tong's eyes brightened and nodded: "I know, I know, I know, the bed I sleep on now is the one that Brother Xiao slept on." ”

Wang Li said: "Wu Xiao is now riding a horse and carrying a big knife in his hand, he can run three cities in one breath, his hands are all frostbite, and his face is also rough by the wind, do you know what kind of life he lives every day?" ”

Xiao Tong was not ashamed at all, and said loudly: "Brother Xiao used to live a life like mine, and I will live a life like Brother Xiao in the future." ”

Wang Li snorted, not interested in fighting with the child again, and walked towards the place where Mrs. Chu was.

Li Minglou had just come back from outside, and the cloak on his body had not yet been untied, and the kumquat stroked Li Minglou's face and whispered: "It's so ice, it's all frozen into ice." ”

She asked Li Minglou to take a hot bath immediately, otherwise he would get sick.

Wang Li sneered on the side, he would get sick because he was frozen too little.

Li Minglou appeased Kumquat: "Just a bowl of hot soup is fine." ”

Kumquat responded and hurriedly went to prepare in person, passing by Wang Li and asking him if he wanted to: "General Wang, your face doesn't look good." ”

Even if this maid was even better looking than the concubine of Zhou Jun, the governor of Zhenwu Army, Wang Li did not soften his voice, and said coldly: "No need." ”

Kumquat pouted and left, and Li Minglou asked Wang Li to sit.

"Madam, have you read the Governor's letter?" Wang Li didn't sit down, and asked directly.

At the same time as Wu Ya'er replied to Emperor Linzhou, she also wrote a private letter to Mrs. Chu.

A smile appeared on Li Minglou's cold face: "I read it, I memorized all the content." ”

Then she recited it to Wang Li.

Unlike the appeasement of the emperor, Wu Ya'er explained to her why she couldn't go to support Linzhou.

Because Ankang Mountain's intention is not in Linzhou, but in him.

An Kangshan stared at him, and Shi Chao, the general who was entrenched in Pinglu to replace An Shouzhong, was also staring at him.

There are actually not so many soldiers and horses attacking Linzhou, and the heavy troops are not in the vanguard but in the rear, in order to be able to defend at any time.

"In fact, as long as you stick to it, Linzhou will be fine, if you fight, once you lose, it will inevitably cause chaos, shake the morale of the army, and it is very likely to collapse for thousands of miles."

"However, I said that it is easy to hold on, but it is difficult to do it on the Linzhou side, after all, the knife is in front of you."

"Linzhou and the rebels will definitely fight."

"So, in order to avoid Linzhou from falling into danger, I have to go to fight Ankang Mountain."

"I won't borrow troops and horses from you in this battle, I want to ask you to support Linzhou, first, to avoid Linzhou from falling into chaos, second, to cut off the rebels' return to defense, and third, to increase the prestige of our Zhenwu Army in the DPRK and dispel the rumors and jealousy of villains."

Back here, Li Minglou smiled again, and he said, What about us.

You and I Wang Li didn't care about this detail, he knew the content, and he didn't need Li Minglou to recite it to him word by word.

"Have you thought about it, ma'am?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you delay any longer, the battle will be over." ”

"You don't have to think about it, I'm just arranging soldiers and horses these days." Li Minglou took out a letter from his sleeve, "I'm going to leave immediately, I have also written a reply to the governor, please go back as soon as possible, this battle depends on the governor to contain Ankang Mountain, don't delay the fighter." ”

It's good that you know this, this is a great credit from Wu Ya'er to you, Wang Li put the letter on his chest and got up to leave, but he couldn't help but complain: "Of course I want to go back as soon as possible, but Madame hasn't seen me for a long time." ”

This woman said it nicely, I don't know how many pros and cons she considered, she delayed her decision for so long, delayed him for so long, but said that he delayed the fighter.

Wang Li took the letter and galloped away, while Jiang Liang galloped back on horseback.

"Madam, are you going to discuss the battle of Linzhou?" As soon as he entered, he asked, "What does the Governor say?" ”

"The governor said that he couldn't go back to defense, because he would be attacked by Ankang Mountain, so let's rush to help Linzhou." Li Ming said.

Although in Xuanwu Dao was busy receiving gifts.... No, busy reorganizing the government, placing officials, and appeasing the people's livelihood, Jiang Liang also heard rumors about Wu Ya'er, saying that he was self-respecting and timid like a mouse, and refused to return to Linzhou.

Whether this rumor is confusing the enemy or really angering the court, it is not a good reputation for Wu Ya'er, unless a big victory or other back-up arrangements can regain his innocence and glory.

If he doesn't come himself, letting his wife go can be regarded as a hindsight arrangement.

Jiang nodded: "This is beneficial to the governor and us, the credit is ours, and it can also eliminate the notoriety of the governor's disobedience, which can be said to be the husband and wife ...... one heart."

Li Minglou interrupted him: "I decided not to go. ”

Jiang Liang pulled off a beard and hissed twice and couldn't speak.
