At the beginning of the first year of Qianzhi, Emperor Jiaxing passed away, and the eldest prince Yanju ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Qianzhi. In another month, the new emperor declared that Chu Ziyuan, the owner of the Bairen Building, was treasonous, and the army was about to set off for Jiangnan East Road, intending to send the rebels out of the country. Kill them all.

It is reported that Chu Ziyuan is the son of General Chu Yue who was killed four years ago. He hibernated for three years to avenge his father. None of his father's subordinates wanted to be enemies with him.The new emperor used Jin Yiwei, who was born in Wei Chengyun, and was named a first-rank general, and his relative Qian was named a grain and grass escort, and went to Jiangnan East Road in one fell swoop.

The two armies fought on Jingxi Road for more than ten days, and the strength and drums were evenly matched.

A few days later, Chu Ziyuan lured the Yuan army into the canyon with a plan to make a living, and blocked the retreat with large stones. From then on, the soldiers in the canyon did not know whether they were dead or alive.Three days later, Wei Jun claimed that the grain and grass were exhausted, and he was exempted from the battle card and withdrew from Jingxi Road.

At this point, the Chu army returned with great victory.

Chu army camp.

It was in the evening at this time, and the gang was cooking porridge in a large pot. The aroma of the rice after cooking and the aroma of fat from the fat meat all made people fascinated.

Now that the sun is setting and the sky is red, it is really beautiful, but for most soldiers, no matter how beautiful the clouds are, they cannot compare with the delicious meat porridge, especially the captured Wei Jun, who couldn't help but stare at the mouth. cauldron.

"Don't look, what's so interesting about that cloud." A rough voice called to stop Wang Xiaonian who was in a daze, "Come over for dinner."

Only then did Wang Xiaonian wake up from the state of looking at the cloud, and he went to the crowd to take the porridge bowl with embarrassment: "Thank you Brother Zhao."

Brother Zhao is a big man who can't read. In the past, there were a few Susukida in the family and he relied on his physical strength to support a large family. He has never seen such a soft-spoken man like Wang Xiaonian. How curious he looked: "Thank you for serving a bowl." Let’s go, we don’t care about this.”

Wang Xiaonian smiled shyly.

Seeing that he was short and thin, Brother Zhao couldn't help but add some meat soup to him: "I think you are similar to my son, why did you come to fight?"

Wang Xiaonian said in a low voice: "I was going to take the Jinshi examination, but the imperial court issued a death order. If you want to be promoted with military merits, the family has to have an extra male. My brother finally got promoted to lieutenant general, so I came here. "

Brother Zhao cursed: "All the men went to war, what about the remaining women?"

There have been so many emperors in this world, and no one has given such an order.These people have all been at war, and no one is planting the land at home, so there will be no food for the coming year, so why don't a group of people starve to death?

The people around were filled with righteous indignation when they heard Wang Xiaonian's words: "This emperor is not human!"

"Few of the nobles here will think about us little people."

"Especially this year with floods and mountain earthquakes, there is no way out."

Brother Zhao patted Wang Xiaonian on the back vigorously: "You come to our camp, and when the landlord orders you to go back to your hometown, you can go to my brother's house. My son is about the same age as you, just let your sister-in-law cook you more food and make up for it."

Wang Xiaonian was flattered: "Really, Brother Zhao?"

Some people wondered: "Isn't there a flood on Jiangnan East Road, and your family still has food left?"

Brother Zhao patted his chest immediately when he heard it: "Go and ask me, Zhao Yong, I always say the same thing. Before the flood came, the landlord gave orders to the generals in our camp to repair the dam in advance, and the flood never came."

"Especially a nobleman came to the building two months ago. As soon as the nobleman came, he replaced us with a good guy. Don't mention how fast it turned over." Zhao Yong was proud, "Everyone in this kind of place You know, the land is turning quickly, and there are no disasters or diseases, how can there be less food?"

Wang Xiaonian's eyes suddenly lit up.

One of the people who was captured like Wang Xiaonian was Liu Er. Hearing this, he sneered: "It's no use if you grow more. This big tax collector has to pay obediently when he comes."

The hope in Wang Xiaonian's eyes dropped again.

Zhao Yong shook his head meaningfully, and stretched out a finger.

"Brother Zhao, what do you mean?" Wang Xiaonian asked.

Zhao Yong grinned: "[-]%, as long as you can collect [-] catties of raw rice per mu of land, you only need to pay [-]% tax."

Liu Er was dumbfounded: "Impossible!"

Zhao Yong sneered: "Why are you lying to me. Anyway, Jingxi Road is already the owner's territory now, and you will see if I tell half a lie when the time comes."

"If this food can't be harvested, you can still eat meat porridge now?" Chu Jiajun added in the crowd.

Liu Er subconsciously looked at Rou Porridge and blinked twice, and the rest of the captive army also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Now it has been five full days since the battle in the canyon at that time, except that the prisoners lived not with the Chu family army in these five days, they ate exactly the same.Wang Xiaonian has eaten different meat porridge for five consecutive days.

Chu Heng's tent.

Yan Huahui and Shan Gui stood beside Chu Heng on one left and one on the right. Du Ruyi was not there, and the three of them faced Wang Danian.Wang Danian was the lieutenant general who led the Wei army. His eyes were scratched by an arrow from the fan fan. Fortunately, he has recovered a lot in the past five days.

Shan Ghost was the first to speak: "It's been five days, is it possible that you want to break the contract?"

Wang Danian showed hesitation: "I..."

Chu Ziyuan made an agreement with him five days ago, if Wei Chengyun did not lead troops to rescue within three days, the army led by Wang Danian would be taken back to Bairen Tower unconditionally.On the contrary, Chu Heng will ensure everyone's safety within these three days.

It has been five days now, and even two days ago, it was reported that Wei Jun had withdrawn from Jingxi Road.

He should fulfill his promise in every sense of the word.

Chu Heng waved his hand to stop the fan ghost, and said calmly, "It's fine if you don't want to."

Wang Danian widened his eyes in disbelief.He brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses, this

Chu Heng continued: "You can leave on your own. As for your soldiers, whether to go or stay is up to them to decide."

Wang Danian clenched his fists involuntarily and gritted his teeth: "General Wei has always been kind to me, I can't let him down."

Chu Heng said immediately: "You can stay or go as you please, and you will be responsible for what happens."

Even if Wang Danian had Wei Chengyun in his heart, he had to admire Chu Heng's general demeanor at this moment.Brave and resourceful, both civil and military, what is even more rare is that he knows people, does good work, and has no stubbornness. To some extent, he is even more dazzling than his father.

Wang Danian couldn't help thinking: If General Chu had a spirit in the sky, he could rest in peace now.

Thinking of this, Wang Danian felt a little hesitation in his heart, but he quickly put it behind him, bowed deeply to Chu Heng, and strode out of the tent.The three of Chu Heng were left alone in the tent.

Yan Huahui was a little puzzled: "The landlord, just let him go?"

"Of course not." Chu Heng glanced at Yan Huahui, "This person is considered a general, so if he can stay, of course he must keep it."

Shan Gui couldn't understand when he heard the words: "Then why did the landlord want to let him go?"

Chu Heng's voice was indifferent: "Didn't he say that Wei Chengyun is kind to him. If I force him to leave him, it will be a disaster sooner or later if he feels angry. It's better to let him go back, and see what the original army is like as soon as possible."

Five days after the army was ambushed, how could the general return safely and without arousing suspicion? Even if Wei Chengyun had no doubts about Wang Danian, how could Qian Feng let go of this great opportunity to frame him.

In the final analysis, Yan Ju's re-use of Wei Chengyun was a good move, but unfortunately the new emperor has not yet got rid of the threat of his relatives after taking office. It represents Qian Yun'er, the empress dowager now.

In the game between the two sides, the lives of the frontline generals were all the ones who died.

In the end, Yan Huahui couldn't understand the meaning of Chu Heng's words, scratched his head and said to himself: "It would be great if Mr. Zhou was here."

Chu Heng chuckled lightly when he heard the words, as long as he heard this name, it was like a gorgeous and warm flower ignited in his heart, growing towards the sun and nourishing his dry heart: "If he is in Wang Danian, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave."

Not only can't go away, but also stay willingly.

It's good that Yan Huahui didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Chu Heng, the thoughts in his heart poured out - except for the previous three years, he had never been separated from Zhou Qingyan for such a long time.

Chu Heng pondered for a moment: "The notice goes on. Anyone who is a prisoner and does not want to join the army can settle down and start a business on Jingxi Road. Those who still want to join the army, if they are willing to stay in the Chu army, they will be incorporated into the front army immediately."

Yan Huahui immediately said: "Yes!"

Chu Heng: "The above matters will end within today. Tell me the detailed quantity of soldiers, horses, food, grass and supplies before midnight. Tell the army to pack up and return to Jiangnan East Road tomorrow morning."

Now that Wei Chengyun has left with his troops, Chu Heng doesn't have to stay on Jingxi Road for too long, he only needs to leave some troops and people in charge of affairs to take over the affairs of Jingxi Road.

After finally finishing the battle, he can return home early.

I don't know how much A Yan's injury has recovered, and whether he has eaten well in the past few days.Without him to take care of him, I don't know if this little ancestor will show his teeth and claws in the Chu Mansion to be lawless.

Suddenly, a little white cat with soft pink paws appeared in Chu Heng's mind, pretending to be fierce and screaming: "Meow meow!", and the man couldn't help laughing out loud.

It made Yan Huahui and Shan Gui look at each other in confusion.

"Cough." Chu Heng coughed lightly, "The candidate to take over Jingxi Road will be handed over to Fan Gui to choose."

Shan Ghost hastily cupped his hands: "This subordinate will definitely not disgrace his life."

Just as Chu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, an anxious shout came from outside the tent: "Report!"

Chu Heng suddenly raised his heart again: "What happened?"

The people who came were panting and looked embarrassed: "Wei Jun took a large number of soldiers and horses to Jiangnan East Road! It was handed over in the early morning of this morning, and Mr. Xue sent me to ask the landlord for reinforcements."

Chu Heng was struck by lightning.Jiangnan East Road is a place that he absolutely cannot give up on for the past three years. What's more, his A Yan was seriously injured two months ago and fell into a coma, so far there has been no news of him.

How could he resist Wei Chengyun's troops?
