Chapter 261: Guards
Although Xuanyuan Dong, the king of Zhenbei, was also a general who was good at using soldiers, he could not resist the attack of the whole people of North Vietnam.
He could only lead the soldiers to retreat to Youzhou City a month ago, and the Youzhou city wall was sturdy, guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops.
North Vietnam didn't have the ability to break through the city gate for a while, but after North Vietnam entered the country, there were many fierce beasts in the mountains of Dongchen Kingdom that could be hunted.
This is a treasure for them, the people of Dongchen only know how to farm, and they are not good at hunting, not to mention the deep mountains, no one dares to go into the deep mountains at all.
Just like Chu Lixuan and them, they hunted a lot of antelopes and tigers on the snowy mountains, and the wolves were enough for them to eat and drink spicy.
Jiang Xinyan thought of something and said to Chu Lixuan: "Husband, no wonder more than 20 days ago, we passed by Youzhou and saw that the soldiers on the city wall were particularly fierce. ”
At the time, she thought she was afraid that the refugees would attack the city! Jiang Xinyan also complained that the officers and soldiers guarding the city were also very tired.
"It's no wonder that Cheng Xianhou can't grab food, the people taught by General Song are good, but there are many soldiers in Zhenbei Wang!"
Jiang Xinyan said, Chu Lixuan naturally thought of it, "In this way, the King of Zhenbei returned to Youzhou Mansion City as early as a month ago. ”
"Husband, we are now backed by the endless snow-capped mountains, except for fierce beasts, there are no enemies, and there is the king of Zhenbei of Youzhou Mansion in front of us, so it is safe."
"Xinxin, we have to build the castle as soon as possible, and we can't make much of a move."
"If there is any movement, as long as the snow melts, we burn the bricks ourselves, and if we need other materials, we will use the space teleportation function to transport them."
"Well~ Xinxin said it well, but don't wait for the snow to melt! It's good to dig the snow and burn the bricks. ”
Chu Lixuan felt that the king of Zhenbei might not be able to hold Youzhou for a long time, and now the people of North Vietnam went into the mountains to hunt wild beasts to eat.
How long can you eat the food in the city of Youzhou? If the disparity in strength is too great, it may not be able to hold the city gates.
If they break through Youzhou City, it will be difficult for them to live in peace, not to mention how Dongchen Kingdom has suffered heavy losses.
Chu Lixuan was faintly worried in his heart, they were also Dongchen's people now, although they were exiled criminals.
However, there were no eggs under the nest, and if the North Vietnamese attacked, he and his family would not be safe.
"Xinxin, do you want to go into the city and have a look?" Although Chu Lixuan was anxious, to satisfy his daughter-in-law's curiosity, he still had to be the first.
"Don't go, the Zhenbei army in Youzhou City is now like a frightened bird, in case I am angry and found out again, it will not be good to cause panic."
Kang Shin-yeon is a kind person who doesn't want to cause panic and increase the pressure on their hearts just because of curiosity.
Chu Lixuan admired his little wife's advance and retreat very much, and he would definitely enter Youzhou City, but she was still too young to hold her breath.
"Xinxin~ It's good to have you, after the first day of the new year, let's start burning bricks."
"Hmm!" Jiang Xinyan was depressed.
The couple returned to their grandmother and Jinniang, "Grandmother is sleepy tonight, why don't we all go to sleep?" ”
"Okay, Xuan'er and Yan'er, this is a red envelope for you, and you should rest early." The eldest princess is actually not sleepy at all.
Their red envelopes have just been wrapped! sent a New Year's red envelope, and received a lot of good words of compliments from the person who received the red envelope.
I'm excited! However, it's really not early, it's time to rest, and tomorrow wait for them to greet the New Year, and then give them a red envelope for the New Year.
Jin Niang helped her mother-in-law to go back to the yard to sleep briskly, and the others were ready to play by the bonfire until dawn.
They all got the New Year's red envelopes from Chu Lixuan and his wife, and they were enthusiastic and didn't feel cold at all.
Chu Lizheng and Chu Lixiang and their children trotted over when they saw Jiang Xinyan.
Chu Lixiang raised his head and said, "Thank you for the red envelope from my eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xiang'er is very happy." ”
"Brother Xiang, why are you so happy?" Jiang Xinyan saw that the cute baby was in a better mood.
"My grandmother and mother said that we will soon have little nephews and nieces, and if we have red envelopes, we can buy candy for them to eat."
I'll go! What are they thinking? This body will only be sixteen years old tomorrow!
Jiang Xinyan couldn't help but blush, and just as she didn't know how to answer, she heard Chu Lixuan's happy voice.
"Hmm~ Then you have to save for two more years, where do you have anything to buy now?"
"We don't have much money now! I still want to save more. ”
Jiang Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief and teased them again: "Brother Zheng'er thinks that my and your eldest brother's red envelopes are too small?" ”
"Sister-in-law, there are a lot of red envelopes, after a cup of tea, there are also New Year's red envelopes!"
"Haha...... Okay, I'll give it later. ”
"Then we can buy sugar, big brother and sister-in-law, come on." The milk sound is cute and good, but what is this!
Chu Lixuan was in a very good mood, "Don't worry about it, learning more is the key." ”
The children pestered Jiang Xinyan to tell stories, as long as it was not born, it was easy to say anything.
Jiang Xinyan was extremely happy, and she told another folk story, which everyone was fascinated by.
Wei Dabin and Chu Yi were thinking about how to arrange their monthly money and red envelopes, and they had followed Chu Lixuan to be a second-grade general.
The monthly salary of the court is one hundred and sixty taels of silver and forty-eight stone of grain, which is not very low, but it is not high.
If you want to live a luxurious life, it is impossible, let alone raising relatives or something.
The pro-soldier is a private soldier or a secret guard, the court does not give Yulu, the second-rank general is less than 300 people, and the first-grade general's personal soldiers are less than 500.
The general, the marquis and the prince's personal soldiers were less than 1,000, and the personal soldiers before Wei Dabing suffered many casualties, and about 300 people survived with him.
Most of them are members of their Wei clan or side branches, and their families pay money and food subsidies, and now they have ties with the family.
It is not convenient to send out food and money, and now, more than a dozen have been promoted to second-rank generals, and they have also picked some people, but they are less than five hundred.
Chu Lixuan meant that the general could raise a thousand guards, because the monthly salary he received this time was two hundred taels and the red envelope was sixty-six taels.
Now, they themselves are raised by their father and wife, so they discussed, and the red envelope is sixty-six copper plates.
The pro-soldiers were still raised by the lord and his wife first, and Chu Lixuan suggested that they cultivate their own wasteland and grow vegetables and sell them to the public.
"Why do you want to do so much? Anyway, we are all masters, and we can't just grow vegetables and eat them together. Xu Chaoyan said.
He likes to train his soldiers every day, what is the difference between a pro-soldier and a popular soldier!
"Xu Chaoyan is right, let's plant together first, if they are separated, they may not be able to support themselves." Wei Dabin said.
Lu Chengdi was able to control them in the end, although he relied on the Lu family's private soldiers, but he also had to have a holy decree and a handsome seal!
Thank you very much for the monthly pass of "Across Time and Space", as well as the recommended tickets of the treasures
