Pirate Song

After the Jin army suffered a defeat on the first day, the siege of Zaoyang was essentially solved by the Song army. The Song army opened the west gate and south gate of Zaoyang County and transferred a large amount of grain and fodder stored in Qifang Town to Zaoyang.

In the county seat, it greatly alleviated the difficulties faced by the defenders of Zaoyang County and the people in the city.

After this defeat, Wanyan Sai, the coach of the Jin Army, knew that he had no hope of conquering Zaoyang County in a short time. Moreover, the morale of the Song Army was now as high as a rainbow. After the new defeat, the morale of his own army was low. After more than half a year of fighting,

, the soldiers and generals under his command were also exhausted, so they hung up their exemption cards and refused to fight for many days in a row.

Meng Zongzheng led his troops to attack the Jin Army camp many times in the past few days, but because Wanyan Sai did not defend well, he failed to break through the Jin Army camp, so the two sides temporarily formed a confrontation in Zaoyang.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and the army needed to replenish supplies, Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to return to his old job, bring his supply camp, bid farewell to Meng Zongzheng and others, and returned to Xiangyang to transport various military supplies for the winter.

Materials.

This time, because the Song and Jin armies were facing each other in Zaoyang, and after the Jin army suffered a series of defeats, they gathered back all the scattered You Yi troops, so the journey was easy and did not encounter anything. Gao Huaiyuan easily led these troops

The Bixiang army arrived at Xiangyang City safely.

The news of the Battle of Zaoyang has been delivered to the Xiangyang camp by the army's fast horses. The morale of the army was shocked for this great victory in Qifang Town, and the people of Xiangyang cheered even more. At least for a short time, Xiangyang was

There will be no more attacks from the Jin army.

As for Meng Zongzheng, who commanded well in this battle, the imperial court naturally had something to say, and immediately promoted Meng Zongzheng to the rank of military envoy to Zaoyang. The other generals also received rewards. However, what puzzled Gao Huaiyuan was that this time he served as the military envoy of Zaoyang.

The general who made great achievements in Qifang Town did not receive any awards, which made him really depressed.

But he had no place to complain about this matter. Anyway, he was not seeking promotion now. It was enough to achieve the purpose of experience, so he didn't care about it. However, the country warriors who were his subordinates in the supply camp did not.

They were unhappy. In their opinion, Gao Huaiyuan could be said to have taken the greatest credit for this battle, but he did not receive any awards. This was really unjustifiable, so they muttered in private, feeling very unhappy.

Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan did not receive awards. These people, including Huang Yan and others, all received some awards to varying degrees, which gave these talents some psychological balance. They secretly thought that following Gao Huaiyuan would really benefit them! At least this

When they returned home after the battle, the rewards alone were enough for them to buy several acres of land each to live on.

As for this matter, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care and didn't go into it. Anyway, if you don't reward, you won't reward. He didn't care. While he was resting and loading supplies in Xiangyang, he unexpectedly received a letter from Xue Yan, an old man in Daye County. At the same time,

I also received a load of things from Wohu Village, and even a handwritten letter from Shaoxing's father Gao Jian. Among the people who came over, several were villagers from Wohu Village, and another

They were servants of the Gao family in Shaoxing. These people had been waiting in Xiangyang Mansion for a long time. They stayed outside the city all day long, waiting for news about Gao Huaiyuan. This time, after Gao Huaiyuan led his team back, they immediately came to the door.

Gao Huanyuan was a little overjoyed, and arranged for them to wait for a while. He couldn't wait to take out Xue Yan's letter and read it. He was really worried about the affairs of Crouching Tiger Village and Daye's old house after being away from home for so long!

Although Xue Yan was a rough man and could not read a few characters, he was very smart. He found Zhou Yi, the accountant, and asked him to write and inform Gao Huaiyuan about the situation at home.

Gao Huaiyuan learned from the letter that the fields at his old residence had another bumper harvest this year. He had collected all the rent from the tenants according to Gao Huaiyuan's original instructions and stored it in the Crouching Tiger Village granary. The price of grain this year was due to the Song Dynasty.

During the war, the gold price skyrocketed again. Selling grain was not as good as storing it, so I simply saved it myself.

As for the money sent to Shaoxing, it was not less. As the price of food increased, a few percent more was paid to the Gao family in Shaoxing. Please don't worry about Gao Huaiyuan's old house. Furthermore, Xue Yan notified Gao in his letter.

Huaiyuan, Gao Jian, the master, had already learned of the news that he had left home without permission to lead his hometown to help in the war. He sent people to the old house to inquire about the matter, but he beat him away and asked Gao Huaiyuan to find a way to deal with the matter.

Zhou Yi, who wrote the article, also gave a brief report on the affairs of Crouching Tiger Village. From what he said, it can be seen that under the care of him, Jiang Peng and others, the affairs of Crouching Tiger Village were going very well.

It went smoothly. Even Huang Zhen, who was a little worried about Gao Huaiyuan, was very conscientious in his work. There were no mistakes and no manipulation in the accounts! Both Liulicang and Soap Workshop were booming, especially the soap workshop.

Thanks to Jiang Peng's efforts, the output has doubled continuously, and several large pots have been added in the expanded backyard, which has made a lot of money. Even so, the Wang family still rushes for goods and can't keep up with sales.

As for the young people who stayed behind at Crouching Tiger Villa, they were all more obedient and trained and worked step by step every day. Even if some were not very obedient, they all became more obedient under the lessons of the first few young people who came to the mountain.

The mountain road is also being gradually advanced and should be fully open after the year.

Sister Liu'er was in a bad mood during this period. She secretly cried all day long. She missed Gao Huaiyuan very much and was worried about Gao Huaiyuan's safety.

After reading this, Gao Huaiyuan remembered that it had been more than half a year since he left home in May, and it was about to celebrate the New Year again. Time was like a fleeting horse, and a year had passed by so quickly.

Yes, it’s really touching!

After putting away the letter, Gao Huaiyuan opened the letter from his father Gao Jian. Before reading this letter, he was really a little uneasy. After all, Gao Jian was his father and he was doing such a big thing.

I didn't even say hello to him, which is a bit unjustifiable.

After unfolding the letter, Gao Jian's beautiful thin gold handwriting came to his eyes. Gao Huaiyuan lowered his head and looked at it. Gao Jian first scolded him in the letter, scolding him for not knowing the importance and making the decision on such a big matter without permission.

But later on, he became much warmer and told him again and again not to show off his courage, to pay attention to his health, to take care of himself, etc. By the way, he also told Gao Huaiyuan that he would discuss this matter with Magistrate Liu and the king.

The county captain was not done yet, they actually dared to let Gao Huaiyuan go out on top of the tank, no matter what, they would intimidate these two!

Also, Gao Jian ordered Gao Huaiyuan to find a way to end the matter at hand as soon as possible, find an opportunity to return to his old house in Daye, stay at home peacefully, and don't let anything happen again! He will not arrange for anyone to replace Gao Huaiyuan at the old house.

, that is where Gao Huaiyuan will live and settle down in the future! Moreover, he has already secretly managed some people in the army and asked them to take care of Gao Huaiyuan and so on.

Gao Huaiyuan felt a little happy and a little bit amused. What was happy was that now he could feel a touch of warmth from Gao Jian's letter. At least he felt Gao Jian's care for him, and he finally felt like a father!

What's ironic is that this time he came out not to be used as a gunman by Liu Zhixian, but because he wanted to do it. As for the Wangxian Lieutenant, it was indeed a bit unreasonable, but it also gave him more training opportunities.

In fact, Gao Huaiyuan is not angry, but now it's good that his father has taken out his anger on these two people. Now I'm afraid Gao Jian will find a way to cause a big embarrassment to Liu Zhixian or Wang County Lieutenant!

After reading the letter, Gao Huaiyuan thought for a moment, ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Gao Jian in person. In the letter, he asked Gao Jian to rest assured that he was fine in Xiangyang and would take care of himself. Please don't worry about it.

This bothered him, and he also advised him that he was also an official of the imperial court. Liu Zhixian and others were not to blame for this matter. He asked him not to trouble them. As for returning home, I'm afraid he still won't be able to do it in a short time, but he will be careful.

Above, the letter also instructs Gao Jian to take care of his body and so on.

After finishing writing, Gao Huaiyuan looked at his handwriting and compared it with Gao Jian's handwriting. He was immediately frustrated. Speaking of which, he had been in this world for a long time and had made progress in everything except his calligraphy.

Changjin, after writing down a few pieces of letter paper, there were ink pigs everywhere, dark masses, ugly no matter how you looked at them, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel ashamed and thought that he really didn't have much talent in calligraphy.

If it were written with a pen, the situation would probably be much better, so I had no choice but to take out my homemade quill pen and copy it over again. This made the letter look much better, at least much cleaner and tidier.

After passing the message to the servant from Shaoxing, Gao Huaiyuan rewarded him with two ounces of money and asked him to keep the letter, leave Xiangyang, and rush back to Shaoxing. It is estimated that he will not go back until the Spring Festival this time.

Then he called over the young men from Crouching Tiger Villa who were making out with Huang Yan and others, and asked them to unload the cart of things. He saw that there were more than fifty sets of brand-new winter clothes neatly stacked inside.

He suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. He brought out more than fifty people from Crouching Tiger Villa this time, and within half a year, nearly half of them died in the battle. This made him think about people and remember those dead men.

After seeing these winter clothes, Huang Yan, Zhou Hao, Zhou Jun, Fei Wenlong and others immediately stopped smiling and fell silent.

"Master! These clothes were made by Sister Liu'er under the leadership of the sisters in Zhuangzi. She specially ordered the young ones to deliver them quickly, so that the master and the brothers cannot freeze! This set is made by Liu'er.

Sister Er personally sewed the cotton coat for the young master, and Sister Liu Er repeatedly warned the young master to take good care of his health, and also said...and said...if anything happened to the young master, she would never live alone in the world!"

A young man took out a separate set of cotton-padded clothes from the car, walked up to Gao Huaiyuan, handed it to Gao Huaiyuan, and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan what Liu'er asked him to bring.

Gao Huaiyuan took the cotton coat, rubbed the soft material, and felt the comfortable feeling from his fingertips. Liu'er's pretty face appeared in front of his eyes, and Liu'er sat alone under the lamp.

The scene of sewing cotton clothes for himself stitch by stitch. If anyone is the person closest to him in this world, then Liu'er is this person!

The teenagers who came from Crouching Tiger Village to deliver goods saw that Huang Yan and others looked bad, so they asked them in a low voice: "Everyone was fine just now, why are everyone suddenly unhappy again?"

Some young people with strong feelings felt uncomfortable when they looked at these winter clothes. They turned around and wiped away their tears. They couldn't help but choked up and started crying.

"What's wrong?" The new boy didn't understand, so he asked next.

"Don't ask! We can't use so many winter clothes now. There are many brothers among us who are no longer here!" Huang Yan endured it and said softly to the young people who had just arrived.

"Ah...?" Several people were stunned immediately!

So after asking questions, several teenagers shed tears one after another. They were all a group of people who lived together day and night. Suddenly, they could no longer see those brothers who died in the battle. Anyone would feel sad.

.

After Gao Huaiyuan stood silently for a while, he said to them: "Put away your tears. A man doesn't shed tears lightly. When he goes out to fight, anything can happen. A good man dies in front of the battle. This is their glory. You

How can you lead troops if you cry like this? Stand up straight!"

After hearing Gao Huaiyuan's scolding, everyone instinctively put away their sorrowful voices and immediately stood at attention and straightened their backs.

Gao Huaiyuan asked everyone to get two sets of winter clothes, and then checked the remaining things. He saw that the car also contained some preserved meat, medicinal powder and other things. He was very thoughtful and this can make everyone happy.

Satisfied, they also replenished their medicines. This is what the army is lacking now. In such a large supply camp, there is not even a single person who knows medical skills. This is also a problem, and it seems that it will be solved in the future!

After the goods were unloaded, Gao Huaiyuan discovered that there was a hidden compartment underneath the car. A young man jumped on the car and pried open the hidden compartment, revealing a box with fifteen Zhuangzi piled neatly inside. Zhou Botong and the others

The newly made Liuyun scimitar and more than twenty sheathed daggers were all made by Zhou Botong and Lu Laoshi themselves and sent to Gao Huaiyuan and others for use as personal defense weapons.

Gao Huaiyuan was naturally delighted. He took out a Liuyun Scimitar and looked at it carefully. He found that the workmanship of these newly cast scimitars was more exquisite. Although the decoration was still as simple as before, the blades were made of

It is more detailed, indicating that after this period of time, Zhou Botong and Lu Laoshi have also completely mastered this knife-making technique, and their skills have become much more proficient.

It just so happens that he needs these things now. At least he can give all the teenagers like him one. This is a weapon that can kill people and save lives in hand-to-hand combat. As for those daggers, they are very useful. At least they have an extra layer of protection, which is good.

thing.

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately divided these guys up. This time, he had everyone at his disposal, which made them all happy and diluted the sad atmosphere just now when they thought of the brothers who died in the battle.

"After you go back, tell Liu Er, Zhou Yi and the others to properly handle things in Zhuangzi. If there is any trouble, you can ask Xing Captou and the others for help. As for the news that some of the brothers here died in the battle, don't tell them anymore.

Save them worries.

As for Liu'er, you can tell her that I will be careful. Please rest assured and just take care of things at home for me! If nothing happens, you can go back! We still have things to do, so we won't send you away!

"After Gao Huaiyuan accepted these things, he ordered these teenagers.

When these people heard this, they immediately knelt down and yelled, because a young man named Lu Fang came forward and said: "Master! Please don't drive us back. When we come this time, we have no intention of going back to Crouching Tiger."

Go to the village, you guys are not stupid. Although you are not as good as the brothers who came before, you are not too bad at self-promotion. I beg the young master to just leave us here, we are willing to go to the battlefield with the young master!"

Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his subordinates were really passionate. It seemed that he had not educated them in vain during this period. They were all quite passionate!

"You have all seen that going into battle is no joke. You may lose your life if you fail. Are you really not afraid?" Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but remind them.

"Don't be afraid, little ones! We hope the young master will keep us!" Lu Fang raised his head and replied, with a kind of eagerness in his eyes.

Gao Huaiyuan felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at them and finally fixed his gaze on the youngest boy. He sighed and said, "In that case, you can stay, but someone will always have to go back to deliver the message, so just run away."

One trip!”

The youngest boy's face suddenly fell. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare not agree, so he accepted Gao Huaiyuan's order with a sad face. The other boys immediately looked happy and thanked Gao Huaiyuan repeatedly.

After Gao Huaiyuan wrote another letter, he gave it to the young man, gave him some money, and asked him to return to Daye County and give it to Liu'er and others. The letter also arranged some things to make them optimistic.

Zhuangzi, this is his current base, nothing can go wrong.

Next, Gao Huaiyuan became busy again. After lingering in Xiangyang Prefecture for a few days, he loaded up a large amount of supplies and transported them towards Zaoyang again. This time, he secretly thought that he would not encounter Jin Bing again!

If he still encounters it, then he is extremely lucky!

On the way, Gao Huaiyuan also learned from the new teenagers that the road here was not peaceful this time. They encountered several robbers and encountered several broken soldiers who tried to snatch their car.

The goods, but in the end they were beaten away by a few of them. Finally, they safely transported the goods to Xiangyang. After arriving in Xiangyang, they were almost in danger of being forcibly confiscated by the army. Later, they took out Daye

The county magistrate Liu opened a road and bribed the military academy to save things. When war comes, the world will be in chaos!

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan was reviewing the list of goods transported by the vehicle, and he was quickly attracted by several items...

(Monday is here again! Brothers, support some red tickets! Otherwise, it won’t look good! Haha! How about giving Hanfeng some motivation?) dd
