In the thirtieth year of Pingyang, October 26.

A heavy snowfall, the big spring into winter.

In the city behind this Xiongguan, in the streets and alleys, there are snowmen of all sizes, and there are many stalls selling rock sugar gourds, surrounded by children with snot.

The snow now is much smaller than last night, and Chu He is practicing in the snow.

It is still a seven-step pile that is often practiced and always renewed, and every step you take and step on the snow makes a creaking sound.

This heavy snow made Chu He a little homesick, missing the sauerkraut and white meat in his hometown.

In fact, in the previous life, he couldn't eat sauerkraut twice a year, but he didn't expect to come here, but he missed this bite very much.

He tried to marinate twice on his own, but both failed.

Aunt Ma said that she could help him and tell her the general method, but Young Master Chu, the son of the consortium in the previous life, couldn't tell what sauerkraut was, let alone describe how to make it.

Now Liang Yi will walk in circles in the yard every day with a big belly, sometimes Yan Chen walks with her, sometimes she is a godmother.

In the past two months, the general Chen Shi has been coming twice in three days, and every time he is not empty-handed, he brings some precious supplements to nourish the body and the fetus, or he takes a few thick clothes for Liang Yi to wear, for fear of freezing this great hero.

Chen Shi can be said to have interpreted the word "next generation" to the fullest, and has never cared about the life or death of his own son Yan Chen, but he cares for this unborn descendant.

By the afternoon, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining in the sky. The people began to go in and out of the courtyard, very busy, such a scene is rare here, because there is a banquet to be set up today.

This is a veritable family banquet, proposed by Jiang Wuxian, with the Chu River as the east, and a banquet for several core figures of the "Chu faction".

In addition to Yan Chen and Jiang Wuxian, Di Yansheng, a general of the Chu faction, will naturally not be absent.

Chu faction, is a good thing people drunk nonsense, a new term coined, but unexpectedly spread, now in Dachong Pass many officials or military people, as long as in Wang Du's small general's mansion to hand over the post, are proud to call themselves Chu faction people.

Wang Du is getting busier and busier, and he really can't take a break today, so he took leave from Chu He, It is said that he wants to meet with a few guests from other countries.

The military order encryption method proposed by Chu He has begun to be widely popularized and used within the Liang army, and an independent department has also been set up within the Military Policy Department to study encryption and decryption.

Now he is secretly negotiating with several countries to sell for a high price.

Duan Jaw declined Chu He's invitation, but ordered someone to send a few jars of good wine to express his feelings.

Cui Qingshan, their old-school core, naturally wouldn't come here to join in the fun, but Wang Minglun still asked Wu Zhiwei to come over on his behalf.

The people who came here today were all big shots, and Wu Zhiwei looked a little nervous.

Di Yansheng also brought a new friend, one of the old eight battalions, the master of the Jiuli battalion, Chu Jiang.

This Chu Jiang is a little older than Di Yansheng, in his forties, in the prime of life, about the same as Duan Jaw, and he chose to protect himself before and did not stand on either side of the old and new factions.

After many lobbying by Di Yansheng, the general Chu was finally moved and decided to show his attitude and support Chu He in the matter of heir.

In fact, except for those hot-blooded young people, few people in the Liang army would really support the radical Xu Conghu.

It's just that Yan Chen's performance in the past two years has been too poor, he has no desires, and he hasn't shown that he can be in charge of the first army, so some people think it's better to let Xu Conghu take the position.

Fortunately, the Chu River fell from the sky, giving Liang Jun a more high-quality and reliable choice.

The people set up a big table in the middle of the courtyard, and although the dishes on it were simple, the appetizers were the same, peanuts, sauced beef, roast chicken and duck, and a stewed big river fish, not meat, only soup.

The trio of Qushui, plus Di Yansheng, Chu Jiang, and Wu Zhiwei, a total of six people, sat around the table, pushing cups and changing lamps, which was so lively.

While they were drinking, the servants brought the stove and warmed the wine on the side.

After a few glasses of warm hot wine, the atmosphere began to heat up, Di Yansheng took Chu Jiang's hand and said to Chu He: "The surname of the chief soldier is Chu, and our old prince is also surnamed Chu, speaking of which, you should be regarded as half of the family!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed.

"You two go one!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to do one!"

Chu He also stood up with a laugh and filled his wine bowl, "Then I will salute General Chu's bowl." ”

When Chu Jiang heard this, he hurriedly stood up, raised the bowl with both hands, touched Chu He lightly, and then drank it all.

Then the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, although these people are all high-level leaders of the Liang Army, but today they all don't talk about political affairs, only drink and have fun.

Di Yansheng, who had a bold personality, hugged Wu Zhiwei, who was not too open, and said heroically: "Old Wu, if you are uncomfortable in the old king's head, then come to our White Feather Battalion, I have seen your marksmanship, just rely on your ability, I will definitely arrange a deputy general for you, so as not to be angry under the hands of that old man." ”

Wu Zhiwei laughed dryly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wang Minglun did have some opinions about him before, and always wanted him to teach his family marksmanship, which inevitably increased the contradiction between the two.

But after returning from Jingqi Dao, Wang Minglun's attitude towards him has greatly improved, and he has repeatedly hinted that he has to do things well and have the opportunity to go further in the future, so of course he can't leave the Jinjia Camp at this time.

If Di Yansheng had said this for half a year earlier, then he Wu Zhiwei would definitely not have stayed in the Golden Armor Camp for a day. But now, it's a different time, and he will have a brighter future in the Golden Armor Camp.

At this time, a fat man who was snoring and panting walked in quickly, it was Wang Du.

In this cold day, Wang Du ran out of sweat, and wisps of heat were bubbling from his body, which was visible to the naked eye.

When Chu He saw his embarrassed appearance, he was immediately happy, "Quickly pour wine for Lord Wang." ”

The subordinates hurriedly brought a bowl of hot wine to Wang Du.

Wang Du took the wine bowl and dried it with a sip, obviously too thirsty.

Jiang Wuxian frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong with the panic?" ”

Wang Du wiped his mouth and sold the guanzi, "Hey, hey, add a chair to me?" ”

Chu He smiled and instructed his subordinates, "Why don't you add a chair to Lord Wang and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

After Wang Du sat down, he finally took a breath and said mysteriously: "Something happened." ”

Everyone suddenly became interested, and Di Yansheng hurriedly asked: "Lao Wang, what's wrong, hurry up and say, why are you still hanging our appetite?" ”

Wang Du's pair of small eyes turned around twice, and then said in a low voice: "Han Jun, the king of Chi, is leading his 100,000 pro-army and is heading east. ”
