The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

 Dark clouds rolled in, covering the sky and the sun.

Yan Yu looked up at the sky.

Tick ​​tock.

Raindrops fell on her forehead.

Yan Huaiwen reached out to cover her head and glanced at Kang Er next to him.

Kang Er quickly returned to the house, found an umbrella, and opened it.

Yan Huaiwen took it and leaned to the side naturally.

Yan Yu subconsciously touched his uncle.

The latter only felt that the side he was next to was windless and warm.

The uncle and nephew stood under the eaves, letting the rain change from weak to strong, with only a bamboo umbrella to protect themselves from the rain.

Yan Huaiwen looked at it for a while and then slowly said: "It's a good rain. The rebels will be delayed on the road for at least two more days."

"Uncle, I won't leave. I'll stay with you." Yan Yu raised his head and said.

When the two armies fight, who can say the winner until the end.

They were fully prepared, so why not the rebellious King Qi.

It was really bad. She was confident that she could escape quickly with her uncle.

She moves at the speed of a donkey, and even the rebels can't catch up even if they slap her hard.

Yan Huaiwen chuckled: "Under the cover of the nest, are there any intact eggs?"

"If we cannot defend Huju, the anti-king army will march straight in, and the three prefectures of Xizhou, Guanzhou, and Leshan will be completely lost. The anti-king army will occupy the northwest. As long as they can work hard for a few years and avoid the attack of the imperial army, If we only defend without attacking, the imperial court will not be able to attack for a long time, and it will not be able to support such a huge waste of military expenditure, and it will be dragged down. "

Yan Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The uncle's tone was a little sad, but also a little too sure.

She didn't think much about it. Her uncle had always been far-sighted and transparent about everything.

"Then, I only take away half of those craftsmen? Leave the other half for them to continue making catapults."

Drawings, materials, and craftsmen obtained from Xizhou.

Coupled with the seamless coordination between her master and uncle.

Mobilizing all the manpower that could be mobilized, the impossible was accomplished in a short period of time.

The number of catapults was increased to a level that even Yan Yu found unimaginable.

The construction of the high wall in Xiao'an Village was stopped because the quarry could no longer supply the stone.

Since we have to throw stones, how can we get less stones?

Although the size and weight requirements for these stone bullets are not strict, they can't be thrown if they are too big, and they are boring if they are small.

For every stone bullet to meet the standards, human intervention is required.

The Huju County government sent another team of government officials to supervise the situation.

One is to beware of riots caused by prisoners in the quarry being unable to withstand the high-intensity work. Second, they are more worried about the excessive exploitation of the laborers in the quarry.

It doesn’t matter how you save your rations on weekdays to line your own pockets.

During this war, everything is important to supply military needs.

"The war is about to begin, and people's hearts are in a state of flux. Even if they are left behind, they will be too frightened and have no intention of doing anything. Since you want to take people back to make the Eight Oxen Crossbow, take them back." Yan Huaiwen said softly: "It is recorded in the book that when the Eight Oxen Crossbow arrows were fired, Its power is unparalleled, and it can be used as a ladder to climb walls. If you can use it in sufficient quantities, you will have no worries in battle."

"It's true uncle. During the test shooting, we used an iron arrow about half a foot long. It penetrated into the rocks with the palm of a human's hand. The adults who restored the crossbow bed said that the bow and arrow could be longer. If the distance we tried could be closer, It's okay to pierce the city wall, but I haven't tried it yet, and I guess I won't be able to hold on for long, unless I'm a boy scout who is as light as a swallow!" Yan Yu said proudly.

The two chubby hands gestured excitedly in front of him: "Cooperate with our iron hook, throw it up, and it will go up!"

The training of the Boy Scouts was a bit complicated, and she, the leader, would practice whatever came to her mind. It's the age when you can flutter, and jumping up and down is very suitable for children's aesthetics.

It’s exciting!

Just say that when they were chasing Ding Jiao, they were able to climb the tree with ease. It can be said that the boy scouts all have some unique skills.

Yan Huaiwen raised the umbrella in his hand to see the fat man next to him more clearly.

Well, it's a little rounder.

Looking up, the thick hair cannot cover the slightly convex cheek flesh on both sides.

At this time, his eyebrows were dancing with joy, and his fair little face was trembling slightly.

"You are all good children." Yan Huaiwen lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Yan Yu raised her head and looked at her uncle from this angle. She didn't know if it was because of the water vapor from the rain, but he looked much gentler.

"This time the rebels infiltrated, Xiao Er led 2,000 new troops to capture and kill 5,000 of the enemy's troops. Xiao Er has merit, and the boy scouts have merit. Uncle, remember it for you. If there is an opportunity in the future, uncle will find a way to return the credit to you. ”

He said slowly: "At this time, it is more appropriate to attribute the merits of war to your fathers."

"Everyone knows that we talked in one place after returning to the village. Hehe, the honor belongs to you. It is important that we hold on to the silver reward. Dad also promised me that I can divide the free food this time how I want. point."

She felt that these were not enough, and her father had been promoted to the fifth rank with this credit!

So she also booked her father's salary for five years.

From then on, her father worked and the wages went to her, perfect.

"Food..." Yan Huaiwen asked thoughtfully: "A lot?"

Yan Yu said with a smile: "I can't mention it in front of the prince. Many uncles can solve our urgent problem. The barns in the village are being pulled out every day and not put in. It's really worrying to see. There are With this batch of grain, we can survive for a long time, and it will be better when the people who go south to buy grain come back. "

Yan Huaiwen nodded and said calmly: "There is no need to mention it to the prince. The same is true for your master."

Are you trying to hide it?

Just what she wanted!

Her uncle really cares about her because of his flexibility in dealing with things.

"Just make the Eight Ox Crossbow if you can do it. If you can't do it, don't force it. There are several places in the village cellar where you can place food and other important items separately and build them with earth to hide them. If the tiger is missing, I will immediately order Kang Er to report back to the village. Don't abandon your belongings and hide in the mountains and forests together. If the rebels search the mountains, they will..." Yan Huaiwen paused and said: "Go to the outside of the pass, occupy a grassland, pretend to be Beirong survivors, and wait for the news of the victory of the imperial army. "

Yan Yu's eyes widened.

Have you figured out the way out for them?

Pretending to be a barbarian?

"Uncle..."

"It's just to be prepared." Yan Huaiwen said slowly: "We have detected any unusual movements in Xirong, or may have conspired with the rebels to send troops."

Yan Yu:! !

"Uncle, are Xirong really going to send troops? That's right, the barbarians outside the pass have colluded with the anti-king for a long time. They, they are so brave! The blood of our Jingguan is not dry yet, aren't they afraid?!"

The Jingguan was built on that day to deter the barbarians.

Beirong is an example, Xirong is really a coward!

Aren't you afraid that there will be no return? !

Yan Huaiwen looked at the pouring rain that was getting heavier and heavier.

The rain hit the ground and splashed, staining the corners of the robe and shoes.

The whole body was wrapped in sticky moisture that lingered.

His voice was as cold as the cold rain at this time.

"Xirong is trying to cause trouble by taking advantage of the chaos caused by the rebellion, so he will never come back!"

"The Guanzhou border army can still kill the Beirong, and the elite troops of the imperial court are afraid of facing the barbarians of the Xirong?!" (End of this chapter)
