Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Han Batian wasn't afraid. "At worst, we can just retreat. The South is big enough! Normally, he seems decent, but once he's on the scene, he'll stab those dying people as he passes by." He shuddered as if in pain, "How terribly calm and cold-blooded!"

The scholar glanced at him and said, "A man who quickly rose from a soldier to a general under the Da clan and the Liao dynasty must have known long ago that being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself."

That's right, Han Batian was very proud and kicked the stool next to him. "Well, I didn't choose the wrong person!"

The scholar was horrified, but he looked at the man with an expression that said, "See, I have a good eye for people." Feeling extremely helpless, he ran to the chair opposite the person and collapsed.

"Hurry up and go on patrol! General Qin is raiding someone's lair, don't let your own lair be destroyed!"

Han Batian stood up and kicked the wooden stool with his long legs, causing it to tremble. "You f**king vegetarians, don't make my city walls and soldiers vegetarians. Get up and tell the people to sharpen their sickles and hammers, and sharpen their branches, or else someone will knock their balls off and steal their women overnight!"

The young lady, who was as clever as herself, had said that if Yongzhou made a move, she was afraid that Chuanzhou would attack its lair, and Dianzhou would follow suit, balancing the two, like old men waiting for the two tigers to clash, hoping to reap the benefits. As long as he could hold out for Bazhou, Dianzhou would be trapped by the mountains and unable to move south. She would defend Hangzhou County and Jingcheng to the death, and march north quickly. She would hold on to this information as long as she could, and for the rest, she would just hold on and wait for the outcome.

"If something happens in Bazhou, I'll chop off your useless balls too."

Vulgar! The scholar is physically and mentally damaged and wants to vomit blood!

Jingcheng. Wangshu took his cousin, who had two children, into his residence. Her husband was stationed in Hangzhou County, but when the situation changed, he rushed back to defend the city at dawn a while ago.

The reason was that Li Wanting was pregnant again. With the army resting in Jingcheng for half a year, some women were meeting each other, getting married, or reuniting with their spouses. In the past few months, the number of young military wives who were not pregnant was actually a minority.

Now that the large army was marching in the north, the logistics, food, fodder, and cotton clothes were in constant supply. Wangshu was so busy that he simply gathered these women and other common people to live in the government office, and had them make clothes and shoes every day, focusing on the relationship between the military and the people.

My cousin is raising three children by herself and has no one to help her, so she decided to bring someone to live with her so that she can take care of them.

"Your husband's monthly salary is not low, you can hire someone else!"

Li Wanting stroked her slightly bulging belly, one eye still on her third son who was just learning to walk. She got pregnant with the third son while she was still in confinement after giving birth to the second son. She got pregnant with the fourth son just as the third son could crawl. She was too embarrassed to face her cousin.

"Cousin, we have so many children, and he's split some of his monthly salary with his subordinates." Having many children is hard work for a mother. After the birth of her first child, she worried about separation from her husband and wife, and she didn't know when she'd have a chance to conceive a second, which made her feel a bit ashamed. Now, with the births happening one after another, one a year, she's embarrassed beyond belief. But these two kinds of shame are completely different.

Wangshu frowned. He thought that the person Qin Xiuyuan valued would not have much money left in his pocket. "Then you can stay here. Food and lodging are provided for you."

Someone knocked on the door. "Madam, the general's battle report."

It had only been a month since she'd marched north, with her food and supplies trailing behind her. She had no idea where they were, and yet there was a battle report so soon? "From the General?"

"Yes. The army marched day and night and has captured Huaiyang."

Tang Bo replied and asked Wangcai, who was retired, to bring it in.

Huaiyang was a key town in southern Jizhou. He was in the van, attacking the city and recruiting civilians to join the army, while she followed with a carriage carrying military supplies. The first batch of supplies should have arrived. As expected, she opened the letter, which had arrived from Huaiyang. It was a long and eloquent letter, with only two sentences about the real business. He took advantage of the darkness to attack the city unexpectedly. After the decree was issued, the people joined him. He planned to rest for two days, then take the arriving advance supplies and continue north.

"Let Zhang San take the second batch of food and military supplies. Jingcheng is very stable with you, me, and these disciples. We need him even more at the front."

Tang Bo would never agree, and shook his head with his broad face, "Madam, you must listen to the general on this matter." There are many relatives in the city, including the young master, the young lady and the lady. It is not an exaggeration to say that the city is surrounded like an iron barrel. In addition, if people have a way forward, they must also prepare a way to retreat. No one in Jingcheng can move.

Wangshu was stunned by this. What did he mean by "just this matter"... She usually listened to him... Uh, okay. Wangshu packed the letter and said perfunctorily, "It's up to you. It's hard work to keep communicating with the counties."

Let him? Tang Bo choked, "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding."

When Tang Bo left, it was only the old cousin who was left in the room. Wangshu stretched and yawned, "Stay here and take good care of yourself. Your intervals are too short, too damaging to your health, and you don't have the energy to take care of the children's education."

It was no use for her to say anything. Wangshu covered his mouth and yawned repeatedly. After he finished speaking, it was time for everyone to go back to their own mothers.

"Cousin, how can you not get pregnant... It's not inside, he... he can't hold it..." As Li Wanting spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and her head lowered to the ground.

...Wangshu suddenly felt less sleepy. What? Can't hold it in? Tsk!

"Just like urinating, you can't be so uncontrollable at this age that you're going to wet the bed, right? Is that true?"

Li Wanting rubbed her belly, her face flushed, and she stammered, "Cousin-in-law... not that... that inside?"

No, really. No matter how intense or urgent the situation, he always managed to retain his composure and pull himself out at the last moment. "We have a son and a daughter, and that's enough. By doing this, the risks can be minimized."

Is one son and one daughter enough? It's definitely too few. "A brother would be even better," she suggested sincerely. One child wasn't a sure thing, but two would be a stretch.

"As long as I have my own abilities, it will be better than having ten sons." Wangshu was no longer sleepy and didn't want to chat anymore. She stood up and asked someone to go to the guest room to choose a place. She provided food and accommodation, but not maids and servants.

As soon as the two of them left, word spread that the heads of the Liang, Chen, and Nan families requested an audience. Wangshu hurried out, only to find himself face to face with the three young men in the courtyard. Wanting, hiding behind a pillar to avoid suspicion, saw them exchange a few words before entering. Seeing them chatting happily, they hit it off immediately, and they left together, surprisingly, with her cousin leading the way. The three of them took a half-step back in a respectful gesture, which the maids and servants were accustomed to, and all bowed in greeting.

How awesome!

"Liang Ju is quite handsome."

In the study, Wangshu signed two copies of the list of materials and stamped it with Qin Xiuyuan's private seal. The inventory that had been suppressed and unsold for more than half a year was indeed astonishing. As long as the contract was certain, they were indeed "giving their all". After several contacts, he had a better impression of Liang Ju who was actively fulfilling his contract.

Tang Bo: ...Although he is also a handsome gentleman, he is nothing special. "He is far inferior to the general."

"Your general's pockets are jingling." Copper coins clashed with each other, making a sound. His tone was full of disdain for this poor boy.

Tang Bo wiped his sweat: "...He is very kind to his wife and children. One can tell a person's true character over time."

Don’t look down on the young and poor, life is long!
