Chapter 155: Think long-term
It won't take long to ride a horse for more than thirty miles, but it will be half an hour, Liu Man'er and this Ye Yuan came to the place where the army was stationed, at the foot of the mountain, those soldiers who saw Ye Yuan, all bowed their heads to greet Ye Yuan, and looked at Liu Man'er with some curiosity.
"This is General Ben's wife, everyone will see her in the future as if they saw General Ben!" Ye Yuan said in a deep voice, he didn't like the way they looked at Liu Man'er, what did he look at, hadn't he seen a woman? When you see the woman of this general, it is better to bow your head!
Of course, although he didn't say this, but when he came into contact with his sweeping gaze, the soldiers still lowered their heads very discerningly.
Liu Man'er looked at these tents and said, "You don't seem to have many people, are there a thousand people?" ”
"No, it's only five hundred." Ye Yuan replied.
"How many thieves are there? Forty or fifty people? Liu Man'er asked, there didn't seem to be many people on the mountain that day.
"Madam, you don't know, these horse thieves forced some nearby villagers to go up the mountain to become horse thieves, plus the ruffians who came to defect during this time, there are now hundreds of people."
"Hundreds? A few hundred isn't a lot. Liu Man'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But if you are concerned about these five hundred people, if they occupy a favorable location, you really can't help them." ”
It's hard to pick up a life from the front line, who wants to leave their life here? Thus it is impossible to storm it.
"Do you have any charters?" Liu Man'er asked again.
"Nope." Ye Yuan shook his head, "I'm thinking of a way now." ”
"Well, it's time to think long-term." Liu Man'er nodded and followed Ye Yuan into the camp.
It is said that although the harrier village is not far from Yejia Village, Liu Man'er is really the first time to come here, the terrain here is dangerous, and the mountain is not high, but it is not easy to attack.
As its name suggests, a mountain protrudes out like a bird's beak, and these horse bandits live in this bird's beak.
In fact, if there were more people in the imperial court, there would be no need to be afraid of these horse bandits at all, and they would be able to attack them to the death.
There weren't many of them, and if they hadn't burned a few villages in a ferocious manner, the imperial court wouldn't have paid attention to them at all, but even so, they only symbolically sent a few hundred people to come.
A few hundred people would be as many as horse bandits, and the horse bandits would easily stone them to death if they were on the mountain.
Their lives are their own, and if they die, the imperial court will naturally send people here, but most of the people Ye Yuan brought are his brothers who were born and died in the past, and he naturally doesn't want them to have any casualties.
Liu Man'er fully understood his thoughts, and didn't speak, just sat beside him, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't worry, there will always be a way." ”
"But these thieves are so hateful that I'm afraid they'll probably strike first if we don't attack." Ye Yuan said with some concern.
"Impossible, right? Do they have the guts? Liu Man'er didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, they could do something like Tucun, and attacking the government was not a big deal.
"You don't know, in fact, several of these horse bandits are prisoners in the government." Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "When they were doing labor, they escaped by luck, gathered some ruffians they knew before, robbed a horse gang, and became horse bandits, this kind of people will not be surrendered by the court, as long as they kill them, so they can only stand up." ”
"I see." Liu Man'er nodded, no wonder they were so fierce.
"Let's see tomorrow, maybe we'll be able to think of a way tomorrow." Liu Man'er held his hand with her hand and comforted: "But you still have to let people pay more attention, you must be more defensive these days." ”
"I will." Ye Yuan held Liu Man'er's hand, and in order to show his attention to her words, he still called someone over and ordered them to strengthen their defense.
In fact, Liu Man'er was extremely worried at the moment, especially after hearing Ye Yuan say that this group of horse bandits dared to attack their military horses, she felt that it was not safe here. This gang of horse bandits is so hateful that if you don't kill them, it won't be enough to make the people angry!
Feeling Liu Man'er's fear, Ye Yuan hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, but he didn't expect this kiss to be out of control, and couldn't help but attach her lip flap, but now it's not completely dark, this is another military camp, Ye Yuan can only put Liu Man'er down temporarily.
Suddenly I felt so good at home.
"It's time for you to shave." Liu Man'er touched her chin and said.
Ye Yuan laughed, hugged her, and stabbed her lightly, at this moment, a soldier opened the tent and came in, seeing this scene, he hurriedly lowered his head, Ye Yuan also let go of Liu Man'er and sat down.
"What?" Ye Yuan asked in a deep voice, his dark and deep eyes staring at the soldiers who were saluting.
"That's right, Captain Li asked the little one to ask if you need to order food." The soldier hurriedly replied.
"Go get ready." Hearing this, Ye Yuan waved his hand and asked the soldiers below to do it.
This is the county seat, and the conditions are naturally much better than those in the frontier, not to mention anything else, more of the gentry and landlords of Liyang County come to scold them, and even the county order comes from time to time to let people come over to send some gifts.
Therefore, this meal is much more sumptuous than when I was in the frontier before, it is even better than having a big meal in a restaurant, there is everything, and the table is full of dishes.
"It's too extravagant." While eating, Liu Man'er said: "There are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat." ”
"Usually if you don't come, I don't eat so well." Ye Yuan glanced at Liu Man'er obliquely, and he didn't think that she was a person with such noble sentiments.
Liu Man'er just said casually, and after hearing Ye Yuan's words, she simply admitted: "Okay, I'd rather be a person in the Zhumen." ”
"I try." Ye Yuan nodded and gave her a chopstick fish. The white and tender fish meat is like snow, and it melts in the mouth, so you know that it is not an ordinary fish when you eat it.
Sure enough, the life of powerful people is still different from ordinary people, Liu Man'er said: "Oh, the father-in-law has worked so hard outside, and finally let me get a little light." ”
Ye Yuan could only smile helplessly and said, "So, you still have meat to eat with me, that Young Master Yan, don't have anything to do with him." ”
"When have I been in contact with him?" Liu Man'er propped her head and looked at Ye Yuan.
"Forget it if you don't, you're mine anyway, don't look at other men!" Ye Yuan said quite strongly.
Liu Man'er couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't watch much if you're at home, and I don't know if you're not at home." ”
"You dare!" Ye Yuan was a little angry.
"Dare." Liu Man'er replied.
Ye Yuan didn't speak, he only cared about eating the whole time, and after eating, Liu Man'er asked people to come over and pack up his things, and then said, "Are you angry?" ”
"How could I be angry." Sitting in front of the desk and ignoring her.
"Okay, I know you're really angry." Liu Man'er grabbed his wrist, stretched his head over, and said, "Hey, I haven't seen you angry, let me take a good look." ”
Ye Yuan raised his head, picked up the book and blocked it between the two, Liu Man'er smiled: "Oops, you took the book backwards again." ”
Ye Yuan looked at the book carefully, and did not take it back.
"Xianggong, you love to study so much now, it's really a three-day Shibei, you should be impressed." Liu Man'er talked to him.
Ignoring it, she clapped her hands, stood up, and said: "If you ignore me, then I'll go back, wait for me to encounter any horse bandits on the road, you don't care, I'm dead, don't cry." ”
As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Ye Yuan, "You are not allowed to make me angry, and you are not allowed to say such irresponsible things again." ”
"Didn't you say you're not angry?" Liu Man'er said innocently: "If you don't get angry, you don't ignore me, then forget it." ”
"Who said I ignored you?" Ye Yuan looked at Liu Man'er and said, "You stupid girl, it's rare to see you, I really just want to be with you well, I don't want to be angry, you always mention others, and say something that worries me." ”
"What did I say to worry you?" Liu Man'er leaned in to see him.
"You said I'm leaving, and you're going to find someone else." Ye Yuan put down the scroll, looked at her with deep eyes, and said with a little anger: "You are mine, I don't allow you to say such things." ”
"I'm kidding you." Liu Man'er saw the seriousness in Ye Yuan's eyes, and said, "I'm that kind of person." ”
"You're not allowed to make such jokes." Ye Yuanlou passed her and said quite domineeringly.
"Okay, then I won't talk about it later." Liu Man'er obediently lay in his arms and said, "Then don't leave me, take me wherever you go in the future, okay?" I don't want to be home alone. ”
"I'll be with you as much as I can." Ye Yuan replied.
Lonely and widowed, her younger siblings are still young, and Liu Man'er also knows that if Ye Yuan leaves, it will be impossible for her to follow.
Damn, it's really tiring to be a military wife.
"Otherwise, let's have a child, and in the future, I won't be there, and the child will be able to accompany you." Ye Yuan said that he was a little dishonest, he had eaten, had conflicts and released his suspicions, should he do something to pass the long night?
"No, the children are all wrongdoers who came to collect debts in their previous lives." Liu Man'er said, "They only make me angry. ”
"How come, the child you gave birth to must be very well-behaved, like me, listen to you."
"Hey, do you listen to me?"
"Of course."
Liu Man'er naturally knew that this was just a man's sweet lie, but she couldn't harden her heart and say something that he couldn't do, such as disarming and returning to the field.
Feeling a light foot, Ye Yuan hugged her with a horizontal hug, and his sudden movement made Liu Man'er let out a low cry, but then the exclamation was swallowed up by a long kiss.
Long night, warm spring night......
