The matter of Concubine Liu was settled, and the days returned to the tense and orderly way before.

In July, King Zhao and Yan Ling attacked west and east, and took down the first city in Jiangbei.Jiang Yi was naturally unwilling and led his troops to surprise the rear.Fortunately, King Zhao was prepared and returned in time.

Both sides come and go, and the battle is getting fiercer.

In September, Dongjiang sent troops, and the governor Yang Gu led the navy and fought a battle with the Jiangbei army.Under the two-line battle, the Jiangbei Navy had no support and could only hold on.

In October, Qi County completed its army reorganization and encircled Jiangbei.

In the Jiangbei military tent, Jiang Yi sighed at the map.

Today's situation is not unexpected, and he has made various arrangements earlier.For example, Dongjiang, if he had successfully killed Li Wen back then, it would have fallen into his hands now.And He Xing, if he could turn King He Xing's father and son against each other at that time, he could take it down while the Yan family was attacking Yuzhou.Or use the road to Linshan to attack Yan's rear.

Unfortunately, all failed.

However, it's not time to give up.His main force is still there, and as long as he wins a few battles, he can turn the situation back.

At this time, a general opened the curtain and came in: "Captain!"

Jiang Yi raised his head: "A Yue, you are back."

It was Jiang Yue who came.He has become much thinner and more stable, but his eyes no longer have a bright look, and he is so dull that it makes people sigh.

"The governor is in trouble? Why do you keep sighing?"

"Why else?" Jiang Yi pointed at the map and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Did you see it? We are already surrounded, and as long as the Yan family pushes further east, the pockets will be tightened."

Jiang Yue looked down, and Jiangbei was surrounded by small flags representing the enemy.The opponent doesn't need any tricks, just a little nibble, they can swallow them up.

"Besides, I lost a few battles in a row, and now my morale is low." Jiang Yi shook his head and smiled wryly, "If you can't win back a victory as soon as possible, you will lose very quickly."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but nodded.He was taught by Jiang Yi, so he naturally holds the same concept as him.If the army has no morale, it is a mob. As long as the opponent defeats the front, the rear will naturally be defeated.

He said firmly: "If the governor has a strategy, he will eventually be willing to work for it."

What Jiang Yi wanted was this sentence. He thought about it and said: "It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to fight the Yan family. The soldiers under King Zhao, except for the original lineage, have quite complicated backgrounds. There are soldiers from Hexing, and soldiers from Chu , There are soldiers from the imperial court, and foreign soldiers, and now they are incorporated into Qi County soldiers. Although these troops have been subdued, but the time is still short, if something happens to King Zhao or Yan Er, they will naturally be in chaos."

Jiang Yue then asked: "Does the governor want to attack King Zhao or Yan Er?"

Jiang Yi smiled: "Naturally, it's Yan Er. King Zhao is very scheming, and after so many years of fighting, it's hard to deceive him. Yan Er's success at a young age is inevitable."

Jiang Yue understood: "What does the governor need me to do?"

Jiang Yi stretched out his finger and landed on the map: "You lead troops to sneak attack their grain roads, and when Yan Er chases them over, bring them here..."

Jiang Yue took a closer look: "Feilongshan!"

……

In November, the weather cooled down.Xu Yin did not leave after finishing his official duties, and Lai warmed up in Xu Huan's duty room.

While reading the official document, Xu Huan asked her, "Are you okay today?"

"Occasionally, I have to sneak away! I've finished my work, what are the people under my command doing? You have to give them a chance to show off!"

These words sounded very familiar, Xu Huan thought about it, and found that it seemed to be what he said.When he was recuperating from his injuries, he was so confident in pushing things to his subordinates.

He couldn't help laughing: "That's right."

"My lord, Miss San, come here, drink some mutton soup to warm your body." Ji Jing came in from the outside, followed by a servant carrying a pot, the smell was tangy.

So Xu Huan also put down the official document in hand.

The boy served them up, and then sent them to the officials, and there was joy inside and outside the duty room.

Although the mutton soup is not worth much, it was invited by the Shangguan!

Xu Huan drank half a bowl of mutton soup, and his hands and feet became much warmer. He couldn't help but think of the front line: "It must be difficult to fight in such a cold day!"

"Well. A while ago, another batch of cotton clothes was sent over. I hope the soldiers will not be frozen."

Ji Jing said: "It's not too cold in Jiangbei, it should be fine."

Xu Yin nodded: "Yan Er also said so in his letter, his old subordinates can adapt, but we Nanyuan soldiers feel cold."

Xu Huan said with a smile: "The climate in Nanyuan is much warmer. In winter, there is at most a thin layer of ice, and the coldest is only one or two months."

"That's right! Winter in the capital is more difficult than Nanyuan." Xu Yin couldn't help asking, "Father, don't you feel any discomfort?"

"No." Xu Huan waved his hand, "Although the body is not as good as before after being poisoned, it is not so weak. There is a fire in the room every day, what can happen?"

"Is grandma okay? I haven't been back for a few days."

"Your grandmother talked about it a few times, but there are earth dragons in the house, so it's okay."

The earth dragon was made by the original owner of the Duke's Mansion, so it can be used after cleaning, which saves trouble.

Xu Yin finished the rest of the mutton soup, poured a cup of hot tea and held it in his hands, sighed and said: "It's such a cold day, the road is probably frozen, and Yan Er hasn't delivered a letter for several days. "

Hearing what she said, the other two laughed sullenly.

Stared at by Xu Yin, Ji Jing hastily put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Second Young Master has been away for more than half a year, no wonder Third Miss misses it."

Xu Huan nodded: "Yes, we've been married for less than two months, and we've been separated for seven or eight months. You should think about it, and there are problems if you don't think about it."

After talking, the two couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yin forcefully defended: "I'm not thinking about the situation on the front line! He wrote a letter and made it clear."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ji Jing nodded repeatedly, "No matter how clear the battle report is, it's not the Second Young Master's business."

Xu Yin: "..." She didn't want to talk anymore.

Seeing her expression, Ji Jing stood up knowingly: "Your subordinates should go to work, Third Miss, play slowly."

Seeing Ji Jing slipping out, Xu Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes, and turned to ask his father: "Director Ji is getting old, don't you plan to be a matchmaker for him? You can't be a bachelor yourself and don't let him marry a wife Bar?"

"Do you think I am?" Xu Huan slowly added charcoal to the hand stove, "He doesn't want to marry, what can I do?"

Speaking of which, the fate of the master and servant was exactly the same. Xu Huan lost his wife in his early years, and Ji Jing was a few years later than him.Xu Huan still has two children, but Ji Jing simply doesn't have any.

Thinking of the past, Xu Huan sighed: "This old Ji has been with me for most of my life, and it seems that we will retire together in the future."

Xu Yin said: "Actually, you can marry again, and my sister and I have no objection."

"Forget it." Xu Huan waved his hands again and again, "I've been here for so many years, why should I marry at my age?"

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Ji Jing, who had not been out for a long time, rushed back again.

"Miss San, there is a battle report! It's related to the second son!"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Xu Yin couldn't help but sink: "What happened?"

Ji Jing looked at Xu Huan, then at her, frowned and said, "Second Young Master has fallen, and now...he is dead or alive."
