- I can neither help you nor save you, and I can not even warn you of your trap, but I can accompany you to death.

Lu Bu was the worst at guessing people's minds in his life, but he felt that he had guessed Gao Shun's thoughts.

It doesn't even have to do with the relationship between men and women, it's just that I'm willing to die to reward my confidant.

…… But then again, does the relationship between a man and a woman matter so much?

The girl in front of him looked at him with some confusion, her eyes sparkling under the winter moon, full of confusion hidden in them.

But Lu Bu refused to tell her how he asked Zhang Liao Gaoshun and what kind of answers they gave him.

He just poured another glass of wine.

"Don't choose those who are tall and beautiful," he said, "The rich one can be used, but Xiao Lu, do you know where Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are?" ”

Xiao Lu didn't seem to want to answer, but finally answered.

"Where's the good?"

"I will leave my wife behind and escape alone." "But they won't leave you." ”

…… It's outrageous.

Regarding Lu Bu's last drunken words, she threw them all to the back of her mind for the time being.

After a few days, Lu Hangyu still reached a preliminary contract of intent with Chen Gong, whether she could make up the money for mules, horses, grain, grass, and silk, and how much she could make up, she couldn't say it now, so it was hard to say whether Lu Bu Chen Palace would come in the spring.

But in order to show his sincerity, Chen Gong gave her an unexpected gift package.

"There is no reason in the world to defend without a fight," Chen Gong said, "and the general must know very well." ”

Siege is deep into enemy territory, so whether it is marching, camping, transporting food and grass, and manufacturing siege equipment, it is greatly restricted. And as long as the defender is not a waste, he will not be trapped in the lonely city from the beginning, but will take the initiative to attack.

Just like when Cao Cao besieged Tancheng, Liu Bei also went out of the city to fight.

The biggest reason why Lu Hangyu can't go out of the city is that she can't play Liu Bei's flag, of course, she can also play Kong Rong's flag, but everyone in the world knows that Kong Rong is the kind of waste mentioned above, so Kong Rong's flag is similar to the window paper, which angered Yuan Tan, and as soon as he pierced this layer of window paper, he immediately began the countdown to the Jixu War.

Seeing that she was silent, Chen Gong said with a smile, "Doesn't the general need to merge with the state's soldiers and horses, nor do he need the state's flag?" ”

…… That's outrageous!

If Kong Rong felt that Lu Lian was not enough to defend Beihai and invited Lu Bu to come, or Lu Bu would come uninvited, how would the situation develop next?

As we all know, the biggest characteristic of Lu Bu is that he is cunning and repetitive, not to mention that he has a grudge, he has no hatred, and even if he is related to you, he will not delay him when he passes by your house, so it is completely reasonable to come and grab the territory when he sees that the North Sea is in danger! But if Lu Bu speaks and acts like a human being, Yuan Shao will not give him a slap from the seat to the end, and he will become a person who runs away with a bucket in the middle of the night or will be assassinated by a soldier!

"General Lu's banner ......," she said cautiously, "how to sell it?" ”

Lu Bu, who was silently listening to them talk about business, was a little restless.

"I haven't sold this ......," he whispered.

Chen Gong glanced at him quickly, with a small movement, and then withdrew his gaze.

So Lu Bu was silent again.

Soon after Lu Bu left, he entered Layue, and the weather became colder and colder, so the soldiers and civilians in the city became more and more busy.

The soldiers relied on the barracks for what they wore and what they ate in their mouths and hands, but it all depended on them whether the old and young in the family would starve, so when they entered Layue, Tian Yu hurriedly paid them military salaries.

Thousands of soldiers and thousands of craftsmen were paid, and the entire Yangdu City suddenly became prosperous. Those who have a family business want to buy a piece of skin for their mother, a hairpin for their wife, and a bag of candy for their children.

There is also a group of people who have neither a family nor want to start a family, so they let themselves go, attracting many poor women in the neighborhood to come over and become dew couples. For a time, it was common to see soldiers in the city with ragged little women sitting in the inns of the winery, around a steaming jar of stewed fat dog meat, and eating very sweetly. If the military master had been more generous, the little woman would have been able to bring one or two of her own children and eat and drink with them...... If there are narrow ghosts, they will inquire, and if they have children, have they brought their husbands to eat and drink together?

…… I've heard that there are, but it's not too common.

Those small inns are very cheap, naturally the rooms are small, there is no furniture, the most shabby ones don't even have beds, two bags of hay and a mattress make up the beds. But it's freezing cold, and being able to find such a place to stay in the city, and not afraid of freezing to death when you sleep at night, is already grateful. General Lu is benevolent, and there are places for those homeless poor people, but after all, it is a group of people huddled together, they have to work during the day, and they only give some wheat cakes to eat...... Eat more and earn more!

The teenagers all went home for the New Year, and Lu Hangyu gave them a holiday, so that they could wait for the New Year and come back after the ice and snow melted.

Chen Qun and Tian Yu also took a vacation to let them go home, and Chen Qun hesitated.

Tian Yu didn't hesitate.

"If there is nothing important to send, I will not return to Xiapi."

“…… Why not? She was surprised, "Aren't you going back and looking at the high hall?" ”

"I took the time to move, and my mother has come to live in Yangdu City," Tian Yu said and glanced at Chen Qun with a smile, "Changwen doesn't have to worry, I'm here here, Changwen can go home with peace of mind." ”

…… The Disciplinary Committee seemed eager to say something.

…… In the end, he didn't say anything, but he bowed sullenly and left.

…… Of course, she won't celebrate the New Year by herself.

First of all, Lu Bai took the 300 healthy women's battalion in Yangdu City, this small female soldier team practiced on weekdays, and occasionally she could be used as an honor guard to join in the fun.

The second is that Tongxin brought a family to see her.

…… It's an amazing feeling.

Lu Hangyu still remembers the New Year spent in Luoyang...... They demolished the floor of Xun Yu to make a fire for heating, and demolished a lot.

Now they don't need to tear down other people's floors, she has a house in Xiapi, where everyone usually lives, but since it is inconvenient for her to go back during the Chinese New Year, they can also come to see her, and they will not suffer on the way.

There was a thick blanket in the carriage, and a few furs that she had taken the time to beat the beasts nearby, Siniang had grown a little taller, Xiao Lang had also grown taller, and Ah Cao's speech was clearer.

"Lang Jun!"

…… Tongxin slapped him on the ass.

"Call the girl!"

Ah Cao pointed his fat finger at this young man wearing a martial crown, a straight robe, and a long sword at his waist, but he didn't call out for a long time, and he was very aggrieved.

Since the Tongxin family is here, it happens to be with Aunt Tian for the New Year, and it is very lively.

Yang is close to the sea, so this year's soup is particularly fresh, clams and scallops can be put into anything, in addition to the delicious food that everyone usually eats during the New Year, there can also be another seafood chowder, for the vast number of inland people, it is really fresh to the heavenly spirit cover are flying.

Just about to enter the table, she found that there was still a Tai Shici missing.

"What about Taishi Ziyi?"

She herself had 2,000 infantry, plus less than 500 cavalry, all of whom were well trained, knew how to advance and retreat, and were not timid when fighting side by side, and brave enough to fight the enemy.

She can remember the names of each of them, their place of origin, whether their parents are alive, whether their wives and children are healthy, and in this period, her army can be regarded as an out-and-out elite soldier.

But the number is still a bit small, so Tai Shici took the time to recruit another 2,000 new soldiers in Beihai and Langya, and they are now training.

When she arrived at the barracks, it was getting late, and Tai Shici was preparing to eat, and when she saw her coming, she was startled.

Considering that today is the New Year's Eve, there is still a five-spice plate, but there is no wine, only peach soup, corn rice, and a plate of dried fish and a plate of dried meat.

"Why is the general here?" Tai Shi Ci was so shocked that he put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Is there anything going on in the city?" ”

"Today's year, this is a family reunion, the day of Zhan Yanhuan, what is Ziyi doing here?"

"Well," Tai Shici touched his beautiful beard, "These are new recruits, and they are not well trained, although I have distributed wine and meat to them to make them feel at ease for the New Year, but I am also worried that they will get drunk and make trouble, so it is better to stay here." ”

…… Another good employee of 996, Tai Shi Ci, felt very guilty.

"How's it going at home?" She asked.

Tai Shici was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly, "Everything is fine with my mother, there is no need to worry." ”

“…… I'll come to the barracks tomorrow, and how about you go back to Xiapi for a while and take a rest? ”

The young general shook his head, and when he saw that she was still worried, he immediately showed a look of disapproval.

"I have no worries, but I should work with all the kings and bring a three-foot sword to ascend to the rank of the Son of Heaven," he said. I am in the barracks, food and clothing are abundant, the general thinks about it, there are people in this world who lack food and clothing, and they also want to celebrate the New Year! ”

…… That's right, she thought, there are always those poor people who have a very hard time every New Year.

Zhao Yun has also had a hard time this New Year.

He was stationed in a small earthen city east of the Rats, with a few hundred people around him.

Compared with the new Donglai Taishou Zhuge Xuan, these people around Zhao Yun are not only his comrades, but also his fellow villagers, who fought side by side with him, and were born and died, so they are now starving, and they can continue to stay by his side.

He eats very sparingly, so he has some food left, and he should be able to survive until the beginning of spring.

This kind of life is extremely tight, and of course it cannot be called "abundant food and clothing". So his soldiers began to look around for something that would enrich the recipe.

For example, the voles in and around the city, those voles hide underground, and the frozen ground is extremely hard, so it is not easy to find them.

But as long as you can find them, you can find not only voles, but also their reserve food.

Zhao Yun had such a roasted vole in his Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but he would not have it to himself, but generously distributed it to his comrades.

"General, if we hold until the snow disappears, can we guard the reinforcements?" There are such relatives who quietly asked, "But there are people from Yuan Tan on all sides......"

"Tian Kai has retreated, and I heard that Gongsun Chan has also been defeated...... Will they ever be able to come back? ”

Zhao Yun, who was eating silently with a rice bowl, raised his eyes and glanced at them.

He didn't speak, but those quiet eyes gave them some strength, and their restless hearts gradually calmed, and the conversation quietly changed to what they should eat to treat themselves when they were out of trouble......

Tian Kai will not come back.

Gongsun Chan will not come to the plains again.

Zhao Yun put his gaze back on the bowl of rice.

He had been in this cold and windy lonely city for a long time, but there was still not a trace of despair in his eyes.

He will always wait for reinforcements, even if Tian Kai doesn't come, Gongsun Zan doesn't come, he will wait for the envoy's reinforcements.

When spring comes, he will see it.

Standing on the city wall of the plain, Yuan Tan, who was looking south from afar, was thinking about something diametrically opposite to Zhao Yun.

"Here," he said, "the North Sea is too far away from me. ”

"It's not as far as the eldest prince thinks," Guo Tu said with a smile, "When the eldest prince's soldiers and horses cross the Jishui and the Yellow River and set foot on the whole of Qingzhou, the eldest prince will find that it is actually very close." ”

Yuan Tan, who was dressed in fur, was silent for a moment in the cold wind.

"Will my father see it?"

Will you see his efforts? Will we see him perform much better than his younger brothers?

Guo Tu's answer was very subtle.

"When spring comes," he said, "he'll see." ”
