This year's climate in Huaibei looks very weird.

Since the beginning of spring, the temperature has been rising, and it has been raining for several months, so that the rivers and streams everywhere are about to dry up, and the grain crops in the fields have also suffered heavy losses, and it seems that only half of the previous harvest is left.

Then, in June, it rained heavily, as if we were going to pay back all the rain owed in the previous months.

The consequence of such heavy rain was that there were floods in the state capitals of Huaibei one after another, coupled with the battles between the Zonghenghui and the Liangzhou army before, which suddenly made the people suffer enough.

If it weren't for the Liangzhou army under Guo's command at this time, they stepped forward in time to help the people fight the flood and save the danger, and helped everyone recover many losses, I am afraid that this Huaibei land, which can be regarded as the richest outside Jiangnan and Gyeonggi, would have a large number of people fleeing the famine.

But even so, the people are still panicked, just because there has been news from the south that the imperial army in the south of the Yangtze River has sent troops to the north in a big way, and all parts of Huainan have fallen. According to this momentum, I am afraid it will not be too long, and the army will kill Huaishui and go straight to Huaibei.

In the eyes of the people of Huaibei, such a military disaster is more terrible than a natural disaster.

They have enjoyed peace for hundreds of years, they have just experienced a chaos that is not too large, but before they can breathe a sigh of relief, a greater danger is coming, and no one dares to continue to stay at gunpoint, they just want to move out of this place as soon as possible, and escape as far away as possible.

And these civil movements were naturally all investigated by the local governments, and after they were gathered, they were quickly reported to Guo Yan and Guo Dashuai, who were temporarily stationed in Hengzhou.

The rain line that fell could not stop hitting the tiles above the cloister, and quickly gathered into a stream, rolling down, and forming a pool of considerable scale on the outside.

Guo Rin walked briskly on the corridor with a stack of documents in his arms, his expression was both excited and worried.

As the concubine of the Guo family, his status is much worse than that of a sister-in-law like Guo Han, and even compared to the eldest brother Guo Chonglai, who is not angry, it is far inferior.

In the past, although he felt that he had a talent and learning, he didn't even have the opportunity to show it in front of his father, so he could only be a small transparent with no sense of existence in Liangzhou City.

However, as the eldest brother Guo Zheng suddenly defected from home, as some secrets hidden in the depths of the Guo family and Liangzhou were revealed little by little, as the Liangzhou army suddenly broke free from the control of the Zonghenghui, he, Guo Yan's concubine, also suddenly got the opportunity to experience along with several other brothers.

However, unlike several other brothers who lacked courage and ability to stay in Liangzhou to assist their second brother Guo Han, Guo Rin seized the opportunity and was able to follow his father. In this way, he can learn more things that he can only imagine before, and he can also be remembered more by his father.

This is naturally a great opportunity for Guo Rin. It's just that when the army of the imperial court in the south really went north to kill, he obviously felt the endless pressure coming towards him.

Although Huaibei looks still calm at the moment, the various undercurrents under this calm water have already made him worried and shudder.

At the moment of stepping out of the corridor, the heavy rain poured mercilessly on Guo Rin's body, so that he was shocked by the clothes outside, and quickly hugged the Chinese book tighter, before rushing to run, after passing through the courtyard guarded by a team of ironclad soldiers, he finally arrived in front of the hall where his father usually handled official business.

When he came to the sheltered place in front of the door, Guo Rin took off his coat and hat with the help of an entourage, revealing his rather handsome face. And half of his body was wet. Fortunately, Huai's Chinese book was still clean, which finally relieved him.

After the follower nodded, Guo Rin walked into the hall with the paperwork in his arms, and saluted Guo Yan, who was looking at the official document at the desk: "Father, the new batch of urgent delivery is here."

"Oh? Where did you get it?" Guo Yan asked without raising his head. c

"Most of them are from Huguang, and two are from Xianghu." Guo Rin replied in a deep voice, saying that he had placed the stack of more than a dozen documents on the side of the bookcase.

"Huainan hasn't had a distress document delivered for a few days?" Guo Yan asked casually again.

"The most recent distress petition is eight

A few days ago, it was a letter from the governor of Shinshu asking for help, and they said that they could only hold on for another five days at most......" Guo Rin responded carefully.

His father would also let him read a few copies of these documents, and then he would suddenly ask questions about the school from time to time. He understood that this was a test for him, so he became more and more attentive over time, and he was familiar with almost every document he could read.

"And what do you think that means?" Guo Yan continued to write something on the paper in front of him with a pen, and asked calmly in his mouth.

Guo Rin's expression became more and more solemn: "I'm afraid that Huainan has fallen into their hands on all fronts."

"Then tell me about the current situation, how should my Liangzhou army deal with it?"

Guo Rin has been thinking about this question for several days.

Of course, he was not thinking about how to deal with the current situation, but about how his father would respond when he was faced with such a situation.

After a moment of silence, he pondered and said, "Back to my father, I thought it was better to focus on the overall situation and not send troops to save Huainan. What we should do now is to mobilize troops and horses to the front line of Huaishui to wait for work.

"As long as you take defense as an attack and break the enemy who continues to go north, it will be easy to send troops to recapture Huainan."

After saying this, Guo Rin cautiously peeked at his father, wondering if his answer would satisfy him.

As a result, Guo Yan didn't say anything, and there was no joy or anger on his face, he just put the official document in his hand aside, took the new one he sent, and quickly browsed it. In his mouth, he said lightly: "You go down and rest first, the road must be walked step by step, don't be too ambitious."

Guo Rin's heart sank, but he still agreed obediently, and then slowly retreated.

It wasn't until he left that Guo Yan sighed softly.

How can I hide my little thoughts from him?

It's just a little clever, thinking about figuring out your likes and dislikes in order to cater to your own attention.

However, what he wants is his son's own opinion of the situation, not a retelling of his thoughts.

What's more, this idea no longer seems to be correct now, and now you can defeat the enemy by holding the Huaishui line? This year's natural disasters have inevitably caused problems in logistics and food, and once the imperial court chooses to suspend the offensive after taking Huainan, it will have to sit on wax.

Not to mention...... He looked at the urgent report from Xianghu in his hand, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The opponent is more radical than he judged, and he actually divided his troops in multiple ways, which is forcing himself to follow the division of troops.
