There is a girl in the village

On the Baishan Mountain, war drums were rumbling, banners were densely covered, birds and beasts were running around, screaming and killing, Song Dingtian watched the elite martial arts performances of the generals, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

In this hunting, one is to lead the soldiers for a few days, and the other is to strengthen ties with the nobles. The most important thing is to examine the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers.After the disarmament, the lack of troops in the northern border is obvious. The remaining private soldiers are the bottom of the generals' chest. As long as the private soldiers who are absolutely loyal to themselves can outnumber a hundred, then the situation in the northern border will not be difficult or difficult.

Lu Yuanchang stood by Song Dingtian's side, watching the formation exercise with great concentration. This time, the generals also put their best strength into the martial arts performance. There are many formations, which are improved and changed, which is very interesting.

"Ah Yuan, how are you?" Song Dingtian asked seeing Lu Yuanchang frowning slightly.

"Father-in-law, good." Lu Yuanchang cupped his hands and said.

"What do you think in your heart?" Song Dingtian smiled lightly.

"Let's let my son-in-law take a look again." Lu Yuanchang said cautiously. In fact, the generals' martial arts performances were very good, but she always felt that something was missing.

A team of unusually sturdy troops entered the arena, led by Wang Chao, the war drum changed three times, the cavalry galloped, or a long snake, or a triangular sharp knife, or left and right raids, or took advantage of the situation to encircle. The light cavalry army was extremely flexible, and the formation The changes are smooth and without stagnation, and the killing spirit brought by the cavalry is like a sharp knife, as if it wants to penetrate deeply into the enemy's heart.

Lu Yuanchang admired in her heart that Wang Chao deserved to be a former general of the army. Few people in the world would be able to stop such an imposing charge. For a moment, she suddenly realized in her heart.

Since the disastrous defeat in the battle of Yunxiang, Lu Yuanchang has been thinking about the problems of the Zhenbei Army. Although Wang Chao was tired of this battle, Wang Chao was not solely responsible for the defeat of the Zhenbei Army. Unable to catch.

Watching Wang Chao's majestic rehearsal now, Lu Yuanchang was enlightened. The Zhenbei Army has been fighting against Rong and Di for a long time. Can defend, but not good at attacking!

The attacker is profitable, the defender is decadent, the attack is strong, the rules are weak, what the Zhenbei Army lacks most at the moment is the spirit of attack!Doing nothing and defending one side is not a long-term solution. Attacking in response to the destiny of heaven is the best strategy.

"Ah Yuan, how is it?" Song Dingtian had been paying attention to Lu Yuanchang and asked immediately.

"Father-in-law, my cousin is really a brave general. If you win the Northern Army, you will be like a tiger with wings." Lu Yuanchang secretly rejoiced that Wang Chao was rescued.

"Don't say anything useless." Song Dingtian was not so easy to dismiss.

"Father-in-law, please watch your son-in-law perform martial arts, and then you will be kind." Lu Yuanchang saw Wang Chao withdrawing from the team, and went down to prepare for the martial arts performance.

Gu Xiaofu was on the stage, already overwhelmed by the momentum of the battlefield, seeing Lu Yuanchang leading the Lu family army to gather quickly, her heart beat like a drum, her little hands tightly twisted her handkerchief, her face was full of worry.

The battlefield is not a child's play, what wins is victory, and what loses is life. It was the first time for Gu Xiaofu to feel the cruelty of the battlefield so closely. She couldn't imagine how Lu Yuanchang survived in such a cruel environment. After all, Lu Yuanchang was just A woman, among the mighty soldiers, looked so thin and fragile.

"Place up!"

Following Lu Yuanchang's order with inner strength, the well-equipped Lu family army quickly changed its formation, connecting end to end, with two layers inside and outside, the inner layer and the outer layer rotating in opposite directions, and the sound of killing followed the drums of battle.

"Which general dares to break into my 'Double Dragon Formation'!" Lu Yuanchang made a passionate appointment.

"I come!"

The former army generals went out and led the troops into the formation. The "Double Dragon Formation" immediately rotated in both directions, making the soldiers in the formation dizzy for a while. After a few breaths, they were defeated.

"Who dares to fight again!" Lu Yuanchang was extremely proud when he saw the amazing power of the "Double Dragon Formation" he had devoted himself to research.

"I'm coming, Brother Lu Xian, be careful!"

Gu Xiaofu looked closely at the formation, and saw that the "Double Dragon Formation" had some mystery, the soldiers who entered the formation would always be quickly retreated, her mood gradually eased, and she felt that Lu Yuanchang was fierce in the sand battle The posture and orderly command are so attractive to me.

Beauty loves heroes, and Gu Xiaofu is no exception. When she was in Luoxi Village, Gu Xiaofu admired Lu Yuanchang to save her life in public. Along the way, this person can always protect herself properly. Gu Xiaofu is not born She loves women, and Gu Xiaofu is willing to be with Lu Yuanchang. Apart from love for a long time, there is also Lu Yuanchang's unyielding spirit.

However, the slight sweetness of her heart was instantly interrupted by a loud voice.

"A Yuan, don't be complacent, let my cousin try! Haha!"

Wang Chao patted on his horse, and with his group of wolves and tigers, he plunged headlong into Lu Yuanchang's formation.Wang Chao is rough, but he is definitely not stupid. After just a few sticks of incense, he discovered the subtlety of Lu Yuanchang's formation. The alternation with the gate of death is extremely strange.

When Wang Chao's cavalry entered the formation, Lu Yuanchang found himself under great pressure. The cavalry was too domineering, and there was a gap in the formation due to the charge.

"Change formation!"

With a single command, the twin dragons suddenly sped up and rotated, one life was two, two was three, and three was all things. When the three dragons came together, their power was more than three points. Under the three big dragons, there were several small dragons to help, and the formation shrank. Of course, the advantage of the cavalry is gone.

"It's not good, the coiled snake formation!" Wang Chao yelled inwardly that it was not good, he didn't expect this formation to have such a change.

The battle situation was extremely stalemate. Lu Yuanchang had a natural sensitivity to the battlefield, while Wang Chao had rich experience. The two kept changing their tactics and refused to give in to each other, so that the outcome was uncertain for a long time.

Song Dingtian nodded slightly, very satisfied with the military talents of the two, but just when he thought that the two would end in a draw, Lu Yuanchang's ever-changing formation suddenly shrank again, and Wang Chao was suddenly caught in an ever-changing deadlock. Inside.Wang Chao struggled desperately, but was entangled by two little dragons, and finally lost helplessly.

"Haha, it's a great kindness to have successors in our army!" Song Dingtian clasped his palms and sighed.

"General Lu is a hero, and General Wang is unstoppable. General, our Northern Army will surely win!" the nobles echoed.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!" All the soldiers shouted in anticipation of victory!

Don't look at Lu Yuan Changsheng, her current description is not much better than that of Wang Chao, with a disheveled face and disheveled hair, but she still smirked and discussed with Wang Chao the experience of martial arts just now, and she didn't even see Gu Xiaofu on stage. Look into her eyes.

After the martial arts performance, it is time for the soldiers to compete. The winners will not only receive generous rewards, but if they are favored by the general, they will be promoted step by step. The soldiers are all gearing up and fighting with high spirits.

After Lu Yuanchang returned to the camp to wash, he sat beside Gu Xiaofu and watched with her.Gu Xiaofu has lost interest in the martial arts arena at this time. How can a personal competition be worth the fierce fight just now? Seeing Lu Yuanchang staring at the soldiers' drill in a daze, she actually gave Lu Yuan a good mood in front of outsiders. Chang served tea and peeled pears, which made Lu Yuanchang a little flattered.

"Fu Niang, what are you doing?" Lu Yuanchang asked, no wonder Lu Yuanchang became suspicious, Gu Xiaofu was always shy in front of outsiders.

"Just now, I reward you for your ability." Gu Xiaofu teased mischievously.

"Hehe, if that's the case, there will be Mrs. Lao." Lu Yuanchang was not satisfied when he heard the words.

"Virtue!" Gu Xiaofu shook her handkerchief and turned her head away, but her little hand secretly held Lu Yuanchang's hand, feeling the roughness brought by the thin callus.

As night fell, there was another carnival. Gu Xiaofu really didn't like to see the nobles' unrestrained indulgence, so Lu Yuanchang reported to Mrs. Song, and took Gu Xiaofu to a certain hillside not far away by himself.

The autumn night wind was a bit chilly. Gu Xiaofu wore Lu Yuanchang's cloak and grilled meat carefully by the fire. Watching Gu Xiaofu keep spinning.

"Don't worry, it's almost over, you guys should be good." Gu Xiaofu couldn't help but be coaxed gently by the two wolves' "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Lu Yuanchang took a sip of wine, hugged Xiao Jiu in his arms, and said, "Xiao Bai is very capable, and he is a great helper for hunting with me. Only Xiao Jiu is an idiot who only knows how to run around like a fool, but doesn't know Xiao Bai How could you look at it?"

Xiao Jiu looked at Gu Xiaofu aggrievedly, Xiaobai was so cute, and also nestled into Lu Yuanchang's arms, Gu Xiaofu raised her head, lifted her broken hair on her forehead charmingly, and said coquettishly: "You didn't see what's so good, back then Why did I get on this thief ship of yours?"

"I bought you back, so where can you go if you don't follow me!" Lu Yuanchang muttered in a low voice.

"Hey, tell my father this again to see if he won't break your leg." Gu Xiaofu said mischievously, who made Lu Yuanchang most afraid of Song Dingtian.

"Haha, if I have a broken leg, I won't let you serve me. I've earned it." Lu Yuanchang said proudly with a very thick skin.

"It's a beautiful idea, come here."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanchang saw Gu Xiaofu hooking her little finger, and unconsciously hugged the wolf and lay down.

The soft kiss touched his mouth, it was cool and fragrant, and there was a slight itchy nose. Lu Yuanchang closed his eyes to feel it, but the good feeling disappeared at the touch of a touch.

When she opened her eyes, she was a shy and gentle woman with long hair dancing in the mountain breeze, her delicate rosy face reflected by the flames, her timid eyes, and her weak waist, making people want to protect her.

It's a surprise, it's an accident, such a gentle and affectionate Gu Xiaofu, such a bold and bright Gu Xiaofu, is more attractive than the once quiet her, throwing away the two wolves who screamed "Wuwu", Lu Yuanchang moved slowly Going to Gu Xiaofu's side, the scorching eyes made Gu Xiaofu's blush reflect on her slender neck.

"My wife, I am pleased with you."

Being gently hugged by Lu Yuanchang, Gu Xiaofu's heart beat fast, she gently pushed the person beside her, and said, "It's barbecue, don't do that."

Lu Yuanchang didn't bother Gu Xiaofu, but just leaned her head against Gu Xiaofu's neck, their hair was tangled together, and their breathing merged into one. With her lips, she seemed to describe the elegant contour.

There was a scorching breath in her ears, and an itchy touch on her neck. Gu Xiaofu softened her body and stared at the barbecue on the grill, but she was unable to turn over.

Tired of crooked for a long time, it wasn't until Xiao Jiu and Xiao Bai were so hungry that they yelled repeatedly that they were pulled back.Gu Xiaofu was ashamed and unwilling to serve her anymore, Lu Yuanchang smiled "hehe", and quickly started to feed the delicate woman in her arms with a piece of meat and a sip of wine.

"A Yuan, I miss Guoer, and I don't know if she's doing good in her natal family." After eating and drinking, Gu Xiaofu naturally had to think of her own baby.

"The girl is clever, you might as well think about how to celebrate her first birthday." Lu Yuanchang also thought about it, and he always loved the little girl to the bone.

"After the first year, it will be the Chinese New Year. My mother should urge me to have a baby." Gu Xiaofu said helplessly. Chang forcefully sent Mama Yan back to the Song Mansion, but was scolded by Mrs. Song.

"If you don't give birth, they will force you again later, so you just say that I have a problem with my body and I can't give birth." Lu Yuanchang cheated. Previously, Gu Xiaofu was tossed by several old women and poured bowls of bitter medicine into him. She's still angry.

Gu Xiaofu couldn't help "giggling" when she heard the words, and it took a long time to calm down, and said: "Then my aunt must catch you to see the doctor."

The old man, the mother-in-law, she couldn't afford to offend her, Lu Yuanchang was suddenly discouraged.

Everyone had a good time hunting in Baishan, and they wanted to stay for a few more days, but Fencheng quickly reported that the imperial court tax supervisor had arrived in Fencheng, and everyone had no choice but to pack up and go back to the city.

Song Dingtian and other northern aristocrats were not worried about imperial court envoys at all, and the speed of returning to the city did not speed up. Therefore, when the imperial envoys arrived in Fencheng, they found that they were only greeted by officials from the Fencheng Prefecture Yamen. , So he left the man in the post station and ignored him, which made the imperial envoy very dissatisfied.

The official envoy of this trip is Wei Buxiao, the Minister of the Household Department, Wei Buren's younger brother, the queen's younger brother, he is a young man, and it is his first time to be an imperial envoy, he only wants to give Song Dingtian a blow, but he went to Fencheng for two days. Day, but I didn't even see each other.

Webshaw was furious, and asked the food supervisor to go down to supervise the food, and the rough news made him even more angry. The tax that can be collected in the entire northern border, three states and five provinces is less than [-]% of that in Yunzhou .

check!

With the ability of these people, how could it be possible to find out that the state government has seriously presented the brochure, and the people's fields have recorded one by one, and the autumn tax is [-]% according to the intention of the court. Human slaughter.

Song Dingtian came back with a large army. The scene was grand, just like a king's fortune. He distributed the prey obtained from the state government to the poor households, and everyone praised him.

Hearing that Wei Buxiao was sulking at the inn, Song Dingtian sent Lu Yuanchang and the governor to invite him to a banquet, and what he ordered was the Fuyuanzhai opened by her daughter.

Right now, Fuyuanzhai not only sells cakes, but also has teahouses, restaurants, and wine shops. The largest Fuyuanzhai restaurant on West Street gathers famous dishes from all over the Zhou Dynasty, and its reputation is very loud.

Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him and treated him with courtesy, Webshaw balked and went to the banquet.

At the banquet, Song Dingtian was extremely enthusiastic, and even Lu Yuanchang was extremely hospitable, coaxing an imperial envoy to turn the cloud into a sunny one. When the banquet ended, Song Dingtian ordered people to send the top oiran of Wenxianglou, as well as various rare treasure.

Under the service of the girl, Web Shaw worked furiously, but he thought in his heart, no matter how arrogant and domineering Song Dingtian was, under the majesty of the emperor, there is no reason why he would not submit.However, the collection of taxes in the northern border is not good. Song Dingtian repeatedly explained that it is only because the northern border has been in war for many years, there are few people and a lot of land, and the land is deserted and uncultivated, which makes the tax collection poor.

This is the truth. Webshaw traveled all the way, and he really felt that the northern border was extremely depressed, and it couldn't be compared with Guanzhong. How can it be possible to rebel if it is distributed to the poor.The army is very powerful, probably due to many years of battles with Rong and Di, but the current strength is insufficient, and it is expected that these soldiers in hand can also guard the border, as long as the court is stuck with food and wages, Song Dingtian will not be able to turn the sky.

Wei Buren is an imperial envoy for tax collection, and also a special envoy sent by the new monarch to investigate the northern border. He has spent a lot of effort in getting to the bottom of the northern border during his journey.

Under Song Dingtian's order, Lu Yuanchang and Wang Chao accompanied Wei Buxiao to have fun every day, and at the same time showed that the northern border was too poor and yearned for the richness of the capital, which made Wei Buren very happy.

"Brother Wei Xian, brother, I have been in this poor place for several years, and I have almost forgotten what the capital is like." Wang Chao said with a depressing look.

"My cousin has paid a lot for the Great Zhou, and my younger brother admires it. Only a country can have a family. Although Rongdi has retreated, according to the spies, the whole family of Rongdi has moved eastward due to the attack of the Qiang people. Our northern border is still not peaceful. "Lu Yuanchang said helplessly.

Wei Buxiao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and asked someone to investigate when he turned around. Of course, what he found was what Song Dingtian wanted him to find out.

"Haha, this plan is very clever. That Webshaw is as stupid as a pig. He only knows good wine, beautiful women, and strange treasures. The new king sent him here. It is really a 'best strategy'." Wang Chao laughed.

"There is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, and Webshaw is at most a dog's leg. I will accompany him for a few days and send him back. I think the new king will be very satisfied." Lu Yuanchang nodded slyly.

Everything went smoothly, but the backyard caught fire, and Lu Yuanchang was too busy to go home, but he never expected that someone would be so bold as to suggest Gu Xiaofu.
