Nine days and ten earths.

On the tenth day of the first month, the earth is born. In the morning, covered with snow, 'Qiuchi Mountain' seems to be Shao Ming's filial piety, and the mountains are white all over the field. The valley is plain and the air is clear.

The eleventh day of the first month.

Snow falls in many places in 'Zhongzhou'.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

When the snow fell in the capital, the emperor got up in the morning and ran out of the house barefoot, knelt in the snow, picked up a handful of snow with both hands and swallowed it in a big gulp.

After seven years, is the drought finally over?

On the third day of the second lunar month, Lu Jue defeated 130,000 rebels, and Li Dingtian, the leader of the rebels, led more than 5,000 remnants of his troops to withdraw.

On February 18, Yang Yi led another 100,000 troops to set off in an ambush, Lu Jue took advantage of his retreat to take Yang Yiyou's old nest 'Fengnan City', Yang Yi was forced to retreat, Li Dingtian rushed to the aid and ambushed again, Lu Jue then took the opportunity to force the two rebel leaders to the 'Chestnut Valley' area to besiege and trap it, the rebel army was less than 30,000, Lu Jue still had 150,000 troops under his command, and the victory was nine out of ten. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the news, and named his wife, son, and clansman 32 people, named Lu Jue 'King of Lu', added ten thousand stones, rewarded unicorn clothes, and gave Feiyun boots, and the honor and favor had never been seen since the founding of this dynasty, and the emperor could not take out the rewards of honor and replaced them with honorary rewards.

On the same day, the sixteen recitals were delivered, all of which impeached Lu Jue's military discipline for laxity, killing the people and risking merit, and hoped that the emperor would severely punish him.

February 23, the vernal equinox, rain.

The prefect of 'Danhe Mansion' was killed, and the emperor transferred Lei Yi, the prefect of 'Bairui City', to 'Danhe Mansion' to appease the people, and the big and small matters of 'Bairui City' were temporarily handled by Yang Geng, the head catcher, and Lei Yi knew that this transfer would become forever.

On the third day of the first month of March, the birthday of the Northern Emperor, the rain in the north, the earth finally saw green, the momentum of the famine was greatly reduced, the people cheered, and the emperor was happy.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the 'Tianmen Pass' retreated from the enemy and took the 'Golden Cavalry' more than 1,000 levels.

On March 15, the 'Tianmen Pass' retreated to the 'Golden Cavalry', wounding more than 10,000 enemies and taking the rank of 973.

On March 19, the emperor urged Lu Jue to quell the rebellion, Lu Jue to the complex terrain in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, afraid to force the dog to jump over the wall to fight the trapped beasts, so the siege was not annihilated, so he asked for military salaries, money and food, the court was struggling day by day, and the emperor tried every means to piece together only 500,000 taels of silver.

In the following days, the impeachment of Lu Jue continued to emerge, Lu Jue heard that a resignation letter was sent to the top quickly, the emperor was unhappy, and there was nothing to do, many times to comfort both sides, and the incident subsided.

On March 26, the 'Golden Cavalry' knocked on the side again, but the guards of the 'Tianmen Pass' could not hold out and repelled it again.

On March 29th, the "Western Wilderness" and "Red Ghost Country" craftsmen and Chang Laojiu's nephew and the remaining three of the "Ten Monsters of the Mountains" joined forces to produce the "Throwing Spring Thunder", on the ninth day of April, Chang Xuechen, the son of Chang Laojiu, wrote the book "Skillful Collection Notes" has been successful, the book includes "Nai Grain" (grain), "Naifu" (textile), "Zhangshi" (dyeing), "Essence Essence" (grain processing), "Zuo Xian" (salt), "Sweet Appetite" (sugar), "Paste liquid" (edible oil), "Tao Wei" (ceramics), "Smelting and Casting", "Boat and Car", "Hammer Calcining", " Burnt stone (coal and stone firing), "Killing" (papermaking), "Hardware", "Jiabing" (weapons), "Danqing" (mineral pigments), "Qu Tillers" (koji) and "Zhuyu" and other industries and things of manufacturing and processing technology, the book is full of pictures and texts and detailed records, in the "Smelting and Casting" and "Jiabing" two records a variety of metal smelting and a variety of firearms manufacturing, and the world's countries, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries of some smelting and casting methods of the advantages and disadvantages of the comparison and annotation, advocate the introduction of ' The casting method of the six major artillery pieces of the Red Ghost Country, the three unique metals of Fanbang and their smelting, and the idea of a new type of firearm that was both cheap and practical, only to be put into the experiment with silver by the imperial court. The book also gives a detailed explanation of the soil, climate, types, cultivation methods, etc., and also has some methods and ideas for fighting drought and floods. The emperor was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately rewarded Chang Xuechen with one hundred taels of silver (that's right, the emperor is so stingy, just so poor), awarded the title of civil official of the third grade, and printed this book into a book, except for the firearms and other contents in the book, the rest can be passed on to the world.

Spring, often means hope, this year's spring is especially the hope of hope, the suppression of the rebels has become a foregone conclusion, the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' has been repeatedly defeated, there has been new progress in the research and development of firearms, the drought for six or seven consecutive years has also begun to retreat under the baptism of two rains, the price of rice has also loosened slightly under the two rains, since the highest time a stone of rice and 24 taels of silver can not buy the price dropped to about 22 taels, some hoarders seem to be bluffed by the two rains. Everything seems to be beginning to develop in a good direction, although the court still has not eaten the last meal, although it has not yet reached the day of the autumn harvest, although the ministers in the court and the central government are not fighting with the party, although the momentum of the 'God Redemption Sect' is getting bigger and bigger day by day, but as long as these things are not at the same time, the court always has a way, and the emperor always has hope to deal with them one by one.

The third day of the fourth month.

Lu Jue asked for money again, and the emperor sold the things in the palace to make up another 230,000 taels of silver, which was to urge Lu Jue to quell the rebellion, and Lu Jue once again responded falsely.

The eighth day of April.

Lu Jue was impeached again.

April 11, outside the 'Chestnut Valley', barracks.

Lu Jue leaned on the tiger skin, put his legs on the table in front of him, squinted, hummed, looked at the dancing posture of the female music in the camp, listened to the singing of the female music, and played with a fist-sized crystal clear jade tiger in his hand, looking very comfortable.

"Father!" A young voice came in from outside the tent, and it was Lu Jue's eldest son, Lu Ting, who heard that the female musician in the tent hurriedly stopped singing and stopped playing.

"Hmm~~~" Lu Jue dragged the old man of the word 'um' and replied casually.

The rebel Yang Yiyou sent an envoy to ask for a meeting. Lu Ting said.

"Take him down first, let him wait a while. Lu Jue said.

"Yes. As Lu Ting's voice reached the camp, the footsteps had faded away.

"You go on. Lu Jue didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to instruct Nu Ledao.

"Yes. All the women brushed together and performed a blessing salute, and responded in unison, ancient music, dancing followed, dancing gracefully, singing tactfully, Lu Jue listened to it as if fascinated.

Suddenly, a broken string sounded, Lu Jue suddenly opened his eyes, and the women were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, only to see one of the girls fourteen or fifteen years old, with tears in her eyes and timidly covering the pipa with her sleeve, Lu Jue knew at a glance that she had broken the string.

The girl saw that Lu Jue noticed that she shrank back in fright, Lu Jue stood up suddenly, stepped forward and grabbed the girl's wrist in two steps, the girl shouted, 'spare her life', Lu Jue didn't care where she pulled the girl up, the girl was torn away, the pipa in her hand staggered towards Lu Jue, Lu Jue pressed it on a few and tore the girl's clothes, the leading woman in the female music hurriedly kowtowed: "The general spares her life, beg the general to spare her for the sake of her youth and ignorance." ”

"Get out!" Lu Jue scolded without replying.

'Snort~~' The girl's shirt was torn apart, revealing the snow-white skin on her waist, the girl was terrified, crying and begging for mercy, and the leading woman had the courage to kowtow again: "The general has a lot, please let the general spare this hard-working child, our sisters are willing to serve the general." ”

Lu Jue was annoyed by the noise, stopped and turned around and said: "If this king hadn't rescued you, you would have starved to death, and this king would have taken care of your food and your accommodation, why are you unwilling to pay this price? ”

All the women wanted to wait for more words but they all held back, one by one silently stood up and walked out of the tent, the girl cried 'sister, sister' but no one cared about it, 'stabbing ~~' and the sound of cracking silk came out, and the girl's skirt was torn .......

In the barracks, the tent stands quietly, the sentries stand in order, and there are bursts of crying in the big tent belonging to the 'King of Lu', and there are two military masters standing outside the tent to protect them, and the two stand quietly outside the tent like a clay sculpture as if they had not heard the movement in the tent.

A brightly armored general with a few long sticks and a few retinues walked outside the camp and happened to come to report the military situation to Lu Jue, and when he heard the crying in the tent, he couldn't help frowning, he secretly gritted his teeth, but a smile appeared on his face, and immediately pretended to be in a hurry, and he was still ten steps away from the military tent and said loudly: "The last general Yu Qibai asked to see the general and had something important to report, please report it on your behalf." "It turns out that this general is Yu Qibai.

The two guards glanced at Yu Qibai, and one of them said: "General Yu, the prince is dealing with official business and it is inconvenient to see you, you can come back after a while (three minutes)." ”

Yu Qibai said: "The situation is urgent, I dare not report it, the last general just saw that the major general seemed to be held hostage, how to save him, how to lack of manpower, if he acted rashly, he was afraid that the young general would be injured, so the last general came to ask the general to decide." ”

Yu Qibai said this, the two guards glanced at each other, not daring not to report, Lu Jue seemed to hear Yu Qibai's words, the sound in the tent stopped abruptly, and a girl ran out of the camp tent with her clothes in her arms.

"Come in. After a while, Lu Jue's voice came from the tent.

Yu Qibai smiled secretly and took a few steps into the tent.

"Say, what's the matter?" Lu Jue opened his mouth and asked directly, not mentioning Yu Qibai's words about the young general being held hostage.

Yu Qibai knew that the lie had been revealed, and he didn't care, the person who should be saved had already been saved, and immediately gave a military salute and said: "General Qiqi, the emperor has supervised and urged the rebellion many times, when will we start?"

"Hmm~~" Lu Jue dragged out his voice and lazily responded to Yu Qibai's request, but he didn't answer.

Yu Qibai bowed and did not hear the reply, his heart was already very annoyed, the tradition of raising the enemy in the army is not just one day, when he followed his father-in-law in the army, he was used to seeing these enemies fleeing, raising the enemy and fattening himself, eating empty salaries, killing the people and risking merit, this surnamed Lu is even more of a veteran, in the past, his father-in-law as the biggest commander These behaviors have been greatly reined in, and now Lu Jue's army is even more intensified, seeing that the rebels will inevitably be destroyed if they increase their strength, but this guy is unwilling to send troops all day long. However, there is no way, he thinks to himself, even if he commands these thousands of troops, he can only have better military discipline, and he wants to quell the rebellion, which is far less than Lu Jue's proper scheduling, and far less than Lu Jue's prestige.
