Qin Official

On the tenth day of November, ten days were enough for Chen Ping's spies to make a round trip to Liaodong and Jiaodong. Chen Ping even went to Ye County in person to learn about the situation in Haidong as soon as possible.

"The Haidong garrison was concentrated in Xi'anping and then moved north?"

Chen Ping pondered this news. The garrison soldiers on the other side of the sea wanted to cross the sea, but Chen Ping had already ordered all Jiaodong ships not to go to Haidong in the near future. He also strengthened the defense of Lushun Port in southern Liaoning. As a last resort, he would even All Jiaodong people were withdrawn.

But the Haidong garrison did not take any chances and headed to southern Liaoning. Instead, they left the coast and entered the Liaodong hills where old forests were densely covered and wild boars and blind bears were infested. They followed the trail opened in the last campaign to the east and headed north.

"I'm afraid they are going to Xiangping, the capital of Liaodong County."

It's already midwinter now, and it's very cold in Jiaodong, let alone Liaodong. Snow may fall in a few days. If you can't reach Xiangping within a month, those waiting for the Haidong garrison will probably die of cold and starvation...

Chen Ping asked Dao Jian: "Jiaodong has not sent food for several months. Do the garrison soldiers in Haidong have food to eat? Where does it come from?"

Daojian said: "Junjun, I sent people to inquire in Jizi North Korea, saying that Young Master Fusu threatened the Ji family with troops, forced the Ji family to donate tens of thousands of stones of grain, and confiscated almost all the cattle and horses in North Korea..."

"Tsk."

Chen Ping was a little surprised: "The so-called Young Master Fusu, is he a fake? This behavior is really not like his style."

But whether it is true or not, Chen Ping has treated the Haidong garrison as a potential enemy.

Chen Ping asked Dao Jian again: "Are there any of your people in the Haidong garrison?"

Tobirama smiled: "Yes!"

As a big businessman in Jiaodong, his main business was slave trading, and he also sent prostitutes to Haidong to provide services to the garrison soldiers. Over the past few years, he has cultivated a deep network of contacts. The temperaments of these regular customers are clearly known to Dao Jian, including those who are greedy for money, those who are lustful, and those who are afraid of death.

As long as he is willing, the garrison commander, camp commander, hundred commanders, and even a certain Five Hundred Lord can provide him with information!

"That's good. Let him hide it for future use."

Chen Ping was not in a hurry. He knew very well that regardless of whether the opponent was Fusu himself or not, it would be too difficult to lead his troops back to the Central Plains by land.

Not to mention that the journey was thousands of miles away, Chen Ping had already asked people to explore along the coast of Yan and Zhao, and found out that there was a rebellion there, Zhao had returned to the country, and there were also two large groups of bandit rebels in Shanggu and Yuyang of Yan. As for western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, although there has been no rebellion yet, the local officials are also suffering from the intrusion of King Donghu into the border areas...

The road ahead is full of thorns. Those three thousand people have to overcome many difficulties if they want to go home.

There is nothing to worry about for at least half a year.

Daojian asked: "My Lord, do you want to send a ship immediately to inform the Lord about this matter so that you can make early plans?"

It is very inconvenient to communicate between Jiaodong and the base camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but we have to go to Kuaiji first, and then go up the river. Even if we send a fast boat out now, when the news reaches Nanjun, it will be spring at the earliest...

"Wait a minute."

Chen Ping had his own plans. He was stroking his beard, and he was pondering some conspiracy in his little eyes.

"The king is in charge of everything, and the tigers are fighting for the world."

"Things that Jiaodong can solve by itself..."

"There's no need to annoy him!"

…

Chen Ping miscalculated Heifu. In the past few days in mid-November, Heifu did not take care of anything else, but took the time to return to Jiangling.

All in all, Hei Fu and his wife Ye Shi had been separated for more than three years, and they were extremely jealous when they met again.

Ye murmured that she wanted to have a daughter, and then...

Hei Fu didn’t get out of bed the whole day!

Now that my wife and children are back, of course they can no longer squeeze into the small courtyard where Hei Fu used to be a soldier, Zuo Shi. The Jiangling City County Sheriff's Mansion has been vacated - this can be said to be the place where Ye Zijin grew up. Every plant, every tree, every tree. Every brick and tile is very familiar.

The couple took a walk after dinner. After passing the moon gate and the corridor, they found the study where Ye Teng loved to stay.

"I was quite afraid of coming to the Sheriff's Mansion at first." Heifu said with a smile.

Ye nodded: "I know that my beloved was a little afraid of women at that time."

Of course, Hei Fuyou remembers that when he first came here, he was almost exposed by Old Man Ye, and his forehead was sweating when he questioned him. Fortunately, a sound of music saved him and broke the tense atmosphere, so Ye Teng didn't ask further.

The sound of the piano is not very proficient, like a beginner trying to play under the guidance of others. It is a bit jerky and out of tune from time to time.

Later, Hei Fu found out that it was the young daughter-in-law of the Ye family who was learning the piano.

He said jokingly: "Speaking of which, in the ten years since we have been married, I have never heard my wife play the piano."

In fact, there were many pianos in his family, and they were expensive, but they were just decorations. Hei Fu didn't know how to play them, and Ye didn't touch them, and they finally became dusty.

Ye Zijin smiled implicitly and said, "I have clumsy fingers, so I'm not good at learning the piano. Weaving woolen clothes in the North is more suitable for a stupid woman like me."

When I walked into the yard, I heard a burst of children laughing in the distance, but it was my son Fubo playing with a few servants.

When the child was five years old, he played the dove chariot play, and when he was seven, he played the bamboo horse play. Fubo was over five years old, but he was not playing an ordinary dove chariot, but was sitting on a wooden horse, rocking back and forth - this was given by Hei Fu. A gift from my son.

The couple did not come forward, they just stood behind the bamboo forest and looked at their second son, but the eldest son sounded in their hearts.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. When Ye Zijin ran away, it was a very wise decision to let Sang Mu take Polu to the north to join Heifu's old army.

But Ye Zijin couldn't let go. Last night he woke up calling Polu's name.

Hei Fu comforted his wife and said, "You can rest assured. The last letter from Beidi said that Polu and Zhang Han were hiding together and nothing would happen..."

Because Zhang Han had a good relationship with Hei Fu, he was also liquidated by Hu Hai's court. This was an unexpected surprise. This guy was called "Bai Qi Zhiya" in later generations, the last famous general of the Qin Dynasty. He was undefeated and Qin was not destroyed. , is an example of a layman taking charge of the army but scorning an expert.

Heifu doesn't ask Zhang Han to cause trouble in the north, but he should have no problem protecting himself.

Ye Zijin came closer and said, "Also, I made my own decision regarding Fu Bo's marriage and have not yet confessed to my husband."

Hei Fu shook his head: "You were helpless at that time. The Ba family was defeated and they were about to flee. Your mother and daughter would also be in danger again. Thanks to your quick wit and proposing a marriage, not only did the Ba family survive, but also the Ba people attacked Yu Fu. Capturing Jiangguan breaks the situation in Bashu, otherwise, even if Lu Jia breaks his promise, Shu County will not surrender to me."

If it were Hei Husband, if he put himself in his shoes, he wouldn't necessarily do better than her.

Besides, from the perspective of interests, the Ba family is rich and the Ba people are brave and good at fighting. For him, they can be regarded as a great help.

Hei Fu sighed again: "It's just that my son wants to be involved in this matter. I really feel ashamed of him. He is so young and has nothing to do with this war..."

"I dare not agree with the words of a good man!"

In this regard, Ms. Ye had a different view. She saluted Mr. Hei and solemnly said:

"I have been back in Jiangling for more than a month, and Wang Ben is attacking Xiangyang fiercely. My dear man leads the soldiers in front of him in a bloody battle to block the enemy from the Han River. The people of Nanjun in the rear also contribute to this battle."

"I climbed up to the city tower and saw that young men from Jiangling, recruited by Governor Xiao, were carrying poles and transporting grain to the front line in a steady stream."

"I returned to the city, but I could hear the sound of chopping machines in every house. This was a woman rushing to make winter clothes for her father and brother Kundi on the front line, while the wife of a military official, the captain, was led by a concubine to sew and mend flags for the Northern Expeditionary Army. "

"The weak-headed teenagers who usually idle around are also organized to take advantage of the slack farming season to train in the school field and practice the art of marching and spear assassination, because once their father and brother are defeated, they will have to rely on them to defend their homeland."

"Even if they are ignorant children, when they are playing, the boy plays with the bamboo horse and claims to be the captain of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the one who loses the guessing game plays the role of the rebel. The girl plays with the wine of the family, making food from dust, and Make soup into a soup, use wood as a utensil, and shout that when it is ready, it will be eaten by the father and brother who are fighting on the front line..."

"Although this war started because of good people, today, everyone has been involved!"

"War isn't just about men."

"It also has something to do with women and children."

"Everyone is like this. Fubo is the son of a beloved man. If his beloved man is defeated, my family will be punished. How can we say that he has nothing to do with this war and why should he stay out of it?"

These words left Hei Fu speechless, so he could only say: "That being said, it's just that Da Fubo, the daughter of Ba family, is several years old and her barbarian nature has not changed. I..."

Ye Zijin said with a smile: "I will educate you personally and ensure that she becomes a beautiful lady!"

Heifu coughed slightly and quickly changed the subject: "Yes, Xiaoyue was trained by you from a country girl to be well behaved and generous..."

He looked at the sky: "I wonder if she and Han Xin met in Lantai today. How do they feel about it?"

…

Although he planned to let his brother and Han Xin get married, Hei Fu still asked them to meet first for a blind date.

In Heifu's opinion, Han Xin is handsome, tall, talented and has a bright future.

The niece needs to be well-established, talented and beautiful, and well-educated.

Gao Fushuai and Bai Fumei should be able to look at each other, right?

Han Xin and Wei Yue chose the Liushui Pavilion in Lantai as the place for their blind date. This is the place where Heifu and Ye Zijin first met. Facing the river, the scenery is beautiful and it is a good place to fall in love.

This conversation lasted all afternoon, until at nightfall, Heifu's niece finally returned to the mansion, with a look of helplessness on her face.

Ye Zijin immediately went to talk to Xiaoyue for a while, and asked for details from the maid Yuan who went with him. Then he came back and told Heifu what happened today.

"Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but Yuan confided that she initially thought that Han Xin was mute."

"He just sat there, motionless, not even opening his mouth. His cheeks were as red as a hot stone. It's so pitiful that my ladies didn't even blush!" These were Yuan's exact words.

In short, for half a moment after the first meeting, after saying hello, Han Xin's throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't make a sound.

As you can imagine, the atmosphere was so awkward at that time, and the winding water cup in Liushui Pavilion was almost frozen!

Fortunately, Xiaoyue was very sensible. Not only did she leave without scorning her face, but she also made tea for Han Xin while asking about Han Xin's proud things and the battles he had won - even though the girl was not interested in these fighting and killing things at all. , I came here under the orders of Zhongmu. Zhong's mother told her that Han Xin was his father's favorite general and valued him very much. The conversation must be kept going and it must not end in embarrassment.

In this way, after repeated inducements, Han Xin finally opened his mouth. He tried not to look at the beautiful girl opposite him. He only took a deep breath, drank a sip of tea, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

"Tea...tea is so sweet!"

But you know, that tea is actually bitter.

Hei Fu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought to himself: "This Han Xin is probably still a virgin. Has he ever talked to a woman of his own age before?"

However, according to Yuan's description, Han Xin finally started talking, more and more, and faster and faster, until he couldn't stop!

Ye Zijin couldn't help laughing: "So, Han Xin spent the entire afternoon talking about the art of war in that pavilion!"

…

ps: Chapter 2 is at night.

I recommend Da Luoluo's new book: "Saving the Ming Dynasty". I'm an old author. You must have heard of it.

The traitors, Tatars, treacherous ministers and unruly people all over the world will definitely miss me! ——Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty cried bitterly in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty.

I am wronged! I, Hong Chengchou, am really not an internal agent of the Zhu thief Cihong. I am completely loyal to the Qing Dynasty! ——Hong Chengchou, Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty, shouted loudly on the execution ground.

Father, don’t run away, sons and ministers should be filial! ——These are the true words of the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Cixiang, who was possessed by the soul of an honest child from the 21st century, holding a sword and chasing Emperor Chongzhen.
