The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival inherited by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

On this day, all the towns and villages in the world will think of ways to celebrate, or admire the moon, or drink, and more often, they will light up all kinds of lanterns and hold a very lively lantern festival.

Even if it is unstable today, even if a large number of soldiers are facing the enemy in the south across the river at this time, it does not prevent the people who stay in the city from putting out the lanterns and other things early this morning.

After noon, several of the city's main long streets have been occupied by lanterns, and it is truly full of flowers and beautiful.

And the most eye-catching of these is the Dengshan that stands in front of the yamen of the state capital, which is seven or eight zhang high, and is larger than the area of the main gate of the yamen.

This mountain of lanterns, hand-built according to the nearby Crouching Tiger Mountain, is really tall and majestic, far more than all the other lanterns in the city, and it is so vivid that it is enough for 2,500 lanterns to collude with each other, and the production time alone is more than three months.

It is said that when this lamp mountain was built, there was no danger in the south, which was specially arranged by Guo Yan in order to boost the morale of the whole city, and he even planned to say some future arrangements in public during the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, so as to inspire the hearts of the military and the people.

As a result, this arrangement was finally interrupted by Jiangnan's troops, and now the second son Guo Han can only come forward to appease the gradually uneasy people in the city.

Guo Han, who knew that his responsibility was not light, came to the state office in the afternoon, and communicated with several officials again, and modified what he should say several times, so that the time finally came to dusk.

As the sun sets, the sky darkens, the city of Liangzhou is brighter than the day, and thousands of lanterns of various colors are lit in front of the streets and alleys and shops, completely covering up the full moon and stars in the sky.

The people of the city also came out of their homes, laughing, and wandering in the sea of lamps.

Children chase and play in the streets and alleys as bright as day, and adults watch the beautiful and novel lanterns along the street, and make comments from time to time - the lanterns of a certain shop this year are better than last year, and a certain family has a heart more than a certain family......

Such words reached the ears of the shop owners who had spent a lot of effort to build the lanterns, and they also made them happy for a while, or sighed secretly, hoping to play better next year......

As time went on, the crowd slowly surged forward, and finally they all converged in one direction, that is, in front of the state capital yamen.

When everyone saw that the legendary mountain of lights was really shining in the dark night like a magnificent and wonderful treasure, completely eclipsing the other lanterns around it, everyone couldn't help but stop to watch and let out bursts of amazement.

At this moment, everyone's mood was happy and relaxed, and there was no longer any worry that the enemy between the north and the south might intrude on their homeland, and the trust in the Guo family, the ruler and guardian of Liangzhou, had reached a new height.

And at this moment, Guo Han, who had already been prepared, passed through the passage that had been arranged by Dengshan earlier, and went straight to the small platform at the highest point.

In a burst of cheers from everyone, he was dressed in military uniform, and his air was majestic and heroic.

"Major General!"

"Major General!"

Hundreds of people watching the lanterns around him let out a burst of cheers, under the cover of those thousands of lights, his whole person appeared more upright and majestic, and more people in the distance could see it, so that it kept coming, and soon, the largest long street in Liangzhou City in front of the yamen was blocked.

Watching the crowd gather more and more, feeling everyone's warm mood, Guo Han couldn't help but get excited.

I saw him pressing the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand, and his body straightened up a little, so he shouted: "Fellow fathers and villagers in Liangzhou City, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is our annual lantern festival celebration in Liangzhou City. ”

A few bland opening remarks once again aroused the cheers of the surrounding people, which made Guo Han's heart more confident, and his voice became louder and louder.

"I know that the recent front-line fighting has made everyone feel a lot of threat, but I also ask you to believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us in Liangzhou.

"Just like when we won the two lakes and the two Huai, in the end, the land south of the Yangtze River will also become ours. At that time, it will be easy for everyone to go to Jiangnan to enjoy the scenery there, and then to do business there.

"To be honest, it's me, I really want to go there and see that the girls there are really as graceful and seductive as written in the poems and articles......"

Haha's laughter naturally broke out in the crowd, and many young men and rough men also echoed loudly: "Young General, we also want to go to Jiangnan to see the beauties, you take us there......"

Guo Han seemed to hear this, and actually shouted at them: "Okay! When the time comes, I will take everyone there, and whoever is afraid of his mother-in-law at home will not be a man! ”

These words caused everyone to laugh again, and their mood became more and more relaxed.

This allowed Guo Han to smoothly lead the topic to the need for the people of the city to do their best to help: "The soldiers on the front line are working hard for our safety, we can go to Jiangnan in the future, and we naturally can't delay ourselves in the rear."

"To tell you the truth, there is still a shortage of our military rations, which requires everyone's generosity. Two days ago, the government had already issued a notice that the whole city was collecting grain, and as long as everyone was willing to lend grain temporarily, after the war, we would naturally repay everyone with interest, and the interest would be calculated according to the market price.

"Also, the safety of the rear is also a guarantee that the front line can let go of the battle, so I hope everyone can open their eyes in Liangzhou, and don't let the eyes of all parties make any mess in my Liangzhou City. As long as everyone can find those secret spies, the government will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

"Catch a fine worker, reward fifty taels of silver, whistleblower, reward ten taels of silver......"

As he made out the arrangements of these official mansions one by one, there were more and more followers below, and the overall atmosphere was really warm and harmonious.

At the back of the crowd, Guo Chong, who was watching all this from afar, was full of emotion: "Second brother, he has really grown a lot, and he can really share his father's worries." ”

"Yes, at the beginning, he was just a stunned young man who only knew about military affairs, but now he can finally be independent." Sun Ning also sighed lightly.

Then, he looked at the restaurant next to him: "Let's go, let's go over and wait for him." Now I feel that this grasp is a little higher! ”
