The silly and sweet spring of crossing

All the generals discussed until late at night, but they couldn't decide how to fight. It's not that they didn't have an idea, but that the two sides had different ideas.Miying wanted to attack hard. Anyway, he had reinforcements from Dachu, which surpassed Miheng in number. If he found the weak point of Xirong's frontier defense and directly sent the army to it, he would have a five-point chance of winning.

But He Lanyuzhi would not take this risk with his own country's soldiers and let them serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Although he didn't express his intention clearly, he has been opposing Miying's plan and trying to find other ways Invaded Xirong.

So the two sides were at a stalemate, and Mi Ying didn't want to change his strategy. He also thought in his heart that since he had Da Chu's reinforcements, he would naturally make the best use of them, and he didn't care about the lives of the Han people.He Lan Yuzhi would not give in, but he couldn't find a better way for a while. Everyone was arguing endlessly. The generals of the two sides almost fought because of their conflicting views. Didn't do it.

In the middle of the night, Mi Ying said that everyone should take a break and wait until tomorrow morning to discuss.

He Lanyuzhi just returned to the main tent. He thought Qiu Baichen was going to sleep, so he acted lightly. He told the guard at the gate not to speak. He opened the door, but saw Qiu Baichen staring at him with open eyes.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" He Lanyuzhi looked at Qiu Baichen, who yawned.

"I slept for a while, and I woke up thinking you didn't come back. Are you hungry? Let's eat something." Qiu Baichen took out a pot from nowhere, wrapped his ears with animal skin, brought it over, and put it on the low table When he opened the lid, there was a tangy aroma.

"It's not good to eat too much oil at night." Qiu Baichen said, before going to sleep, he thought that if He Lanyuzhi came back too late, he must be hungry, so he would do something for him.It's cold here, so he wanted to cook something warm. He cut some beef and mutton, put seasonings on it, added a lot of oil, and cooked something similar to a hot pot.

Now there was a thick layer of oil floating on the pot, and the soup underneath was still boiling hot, so Qiu Baichen put the oil aside, served the meat to He Lan Yuzhi, and filled a bowl for himself.The meat is fragrant and spicy, and it is not too old. Both of them enjoyed it very much.

After dinner, they all sweated and warmed up completely.Qiu Baichen likes the beef, mutton and dairy products in Rongguo very much. Because there are a lot of them raised, the meat and milk here are cheap and delicious.

"In the future, let's get beef and mutton from Rongguo, it's really delicious." Qiu Baichen touched his stomach, and He Lanyuzhi reached out to touch his stomach, which was already bulging.Recently, he has been on the road. Although Qiu Baichen ate a lot, he didn't gain weight, and his belly became much tighter.

"There is also trade now." According to He Lanyu, Da Chu's maritime trade is well developed, and there is also a lot of land trade.The tea and silk needed by the Kingdom of Rong have to be exchanged with Dachu. Every summer, the two countries will trade with each other. In winter, when it is cold and heavy snow falls, the mountains may be closed, and both sides are closed.

"I didn't eat it. Let me tell you that in ancient times, an emperor had a concubine who was very beautiful. She liked to eat lychees the most. So every year when the lychees were ripe, the emperor would send someone to take the lychees with a fast horse from the post station. Bring it to the capital and give it to her to eat." Qiu Baichen sneered, and He Lanyu pinched his stomach.

"Prince Min's Mansion has a lot of money, and the posthorse can call it when it's not an emergency. What do you want someone to give you?" He Lanyuzhi has never had a big concept of money, and spends as much as he can for daily expenses. , not extravagant but also not wronged himself, such a small request as Qiu Baichen, of course, can be satisfied.

"I want to eat too much." Qiu Baichen patted He Lanyuzhi's hand away, and rolled into his arms with a smile after a while. After a while, there was no movement. He Lanyuzhi looked down, and Qiu Baichen had already fallen asleep. up.

He Lanyuzhi stroked his hair, Qiu Baichen was like a real treasure, his original anxious mood was soothed by the food and words he made.He Lanyu's temper is not usually good, if he disagrees with Miying and gets angry, it is possible to do something.

He was also very sleepy, so he hugged Qiu Baichen and fell asleep together, and did not wake up until dawn the next day.

When He Lanyuzhi woke up, he felt that the side was empty, and Qiu Baichen had already gotten up.He Lanyu rubbed his still not sober head, the charcoal basin in the room was still burning, presumably someone had refilled the charcoal in the morning.

"My lord, are you up?" Xu Ling came in from the outside at this time, still feeling cold, and asked He Lan Yuzhi. He Lan Yuzhi didn't speak, but nodded, and Xu Ling came over to help him dress and wash.

After He Lanyu finished packing, Qiu Baichen came in, followed by a soldier, holding a tray with a large pot of mutton soup and a large pot of cakes on it, the soldier was trembling a bit.

"Eat some of this to keep you warm." Qiu Baichen felt cold all over, and deliberately went to He Lanyuzhi's side to freeze him, so that he was warm too. He Lanyuzhi pinched his waist, Qiu Baichen seemed to be fine, look elsewhere.

The soldier put down the tray in his hand, Qiu Baichen went over to get a bowl for He Lanyu to fill soup, and finally filled a bowl for the soldier as well.

"I just met this person yesterday. His name is Lin Qiong. He told me yesterday that a sky lantern can be used to send a message. I told him to be the head of a hundred households." Qiu Baichen said. his soup bowl.

"Xu Ling, let him follow you in the future." He Lanyu said, he didn't expect that the sky lantern could still send messages, Lin Qiong's mind is very active, let him stay with Xu Ling to practice, maybe in the future there will be accomplished.

"You're welcome, you see that Xu Ling is not polite." Qiu Baichen pointed to Xu Ling who was eating soup and cakes. Xu Ling still had something in his mouth, so he didn't speak, but his eyes were full of accusations.Lin Qiong accidentally laughed, and also took the soup to drink.

This mutton soup was made by Qiu Baichen in the morning. He liked to drink it before, so he learned from others. The mutton soup is fresh and not fishy.They ate happily, probably because the mutton soup was so fragrant that they attracted an unexpected guest.

Mi Ying came in from the outside, saw the mutton soup with glowing eyes, and came over to grab a bowl of mutton soup.Today Qiu Baichen cooked a lot, he directly taught the soldiers in the kitchen how to cook, and now everyone has drunk it, not bad for Mi Ying.

Mi Ying had already eaten, but he also drank three bowls and ate two cakes, and looked at Qiu Baichen differently.

"The weather is still cold now. If there is a strong attack, I'm afraid they will use the terrain to lure us into a desperate situation." He Lanyuzhi said, it is freezing cold in Rong Kingdom at this time, and there is not much snow this year, otherwise many roads will be more severely blocked.

Miying who was full was not as irritable as yesterday, he thought about it.He is familiar with the borders of the East and West Rong countries. Most places on the Xirong border are easy to defend and difficult to attack. With good terrain, it is not difficult for one to fight against a hundred.

"Then there is no way to fight?" Mi Ying looked at He Lan Yuzhi, He Lan Yuzhi had some thoughts in his heart, but felt that nothing was right.He was too cautious, if he was not [-]% sure, he would not send troops.

He was not in a hurry to return to the capital, so the stalemate continued.

"My lord, we should send troops." The army has been at the Dongrong border for two months, and has sent troops a few times in a small way.A [-] army needs to consume a lot of food and grass. For the enemy to consume things like this, all the adults in the capital already want He Lanyu to go to battle or withdraw their troops as soon as possible.

"If Lord You has a way to win, we will send troops." He Lanyuzhi said, looking at the supervisor You Linchuan sent by the court, and said.You Linchuan is one of the prime minister's subordinates, so it's obvious which side he's on.

"It's rainy in the south of the Yangtze River now, and the grain harvest may not be good. The prince should also consider our people in Dachu." You Linchuan directly suppressed him with the people, but it seemed that He Lanyu's heart was for Dong Rong, and he wanted to directly My lord, you are a spy of Dong Rong, and you put it on your face.

He Lanyuzhi didn't expect them to have such a thing. Since the supervising army can say such things to him, there may not be such rumors in the court. I don't know what they are saying bad things about him.

He glanced at You Linchuan coldly, left without saying anything.

Yu Linchuan was left half dead with anger.

Qiu Baichen is practicing with the army. What the army practices is not individual martial arts, but teamwork. What kind of formation can defeat the enemy requires repeated practice and flexible responses according to the characteristics of the enemy.

However, Qiu Baichen felt that formation practice was very interesting, so he kept on studying, and also practiced boxing and kicking, and ran two laps. During this period of time, he ate beef and mutton every day, and exercised, his abdominal muscles were about to come out, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

The general is away, and the military order is not accepted. No matter what You Linchuan said, He Lanyuzhi is still not a good time to send troops. The army drills every day, and a few days later, a news suddenly came.

He Lanyun is dead.

He Lan Yuzhi wanted to see how He Lan Yunzhi died, but was stopped by Mi Ying, who refused to let him see.Originally, Da Chu sent troops to help Dong Rong just to bring back He Lan Yunzhi, but he never expected that He Lan Yunzhi's bargaining chip would die before he could do anything.

"Since he's dead, Da Chu will no longer accompany him." He Lan Yuzhi failed to get He Lan Yunzhi's body, so he retreated with his troops and returned to Da Chu.Mi Ying was guilty of being a thief, and originally wanted to keep He Lan Yunzhi's body so that he could ask for something more from Da Chu, but he didn't expect He Lan Yuzhi to leave directly.

The bargaining chip was gone, and Mi Ying had no intention of attacking Xirong again. After He Lanyuzhi left, he also led the army to leave the border. The defense of Dongrong became weak, so Xirong also sent troops.

The army of Xi Rong entered Dong Rong mightily, bypassing the army of Dong Rong, and approaching the capital of Dong Rong.
