Chapter 416
Due to the arrival of the uninvited guests, several men went to the front office to discuss, but only a few women stayed in the hall of the back office to watch the new year.

After a while, Asha went to treat Nie Zhongyou's wound and came back. Yan Yunyun asked, "Will there be a war between Xu and Lu?"

She just drilled more than [-] salt wells a few years ago, hired hundreds of refugees from western Sichuan to make smuggled salt, and planned to open up business in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"I didn't listen."

A Shahim seemed to have felt the joy of eating the New Year's Eve dinner, and asked, "Guess the riddle?"

"Don't guess." Yan Yunyun pinched her fingers, afraid that if she messed up things this year, she would lose her place next year.

She has always been worried that Li Xia was appointed as a woman because no one was available to her at the beginning, and now that she has children from the Li family and the Yang family, she will be replaced at any time...

Gao Mingyue thought for a while, and decided to act like a mistress, and said, "You're a little too nervous, don't be so, just continue talking about the business riddle just now."

She has pulled up her hair now, and she no longer speaks like a little girl like before.

Yan Yunyun was taken aback, inexplicably calmed down, stroked the hair around her ears, and said with a smile: "Yes, then I will come up with an anagram to attract jade... Bow down and examine your life."

This anagram is also the meaning of her expressing her heart to Gao Mingyue, showing that she will reflect on herself and not be so nervous anymore.

"But a word 'Zhang'?"

"Yes."

"Sister Gao is amazing." Han Qiaoer laughed, "I'll guess the next one."

Liu Susu said with a smile, "I'll punish you with a cup first..."

~~
Han Qi'an has already found the map of the Qianya public house.

"Our army is not unprepared. The residence report sent a month ago reminded all places to pay attention to defense during the New Year's Eve. On the side of Xu and Lu, Zhang Shi and Zhang Dutong will fight against Niu Lin, and Zhu Yu, Sun Zhu's appeasement envoys will handle money and food."

Only then did Nie Zhongyou wrap up his wounds, and said: "The news we got from Tanma, Wang Dechen supported Niu Lin with [-] troops..."

"Let's change clothes." Li Xia took out two pieces of clothes from the inside and threw them to Nie Zhongyou and Lin Zi, "You were injured more than ten days ago, how can the wound still open?"

Lin Zi took it, and said: "I also think it's strange, brother Nie's injury never heals."

"It doesn't matter, the flesh is wounded, and the cut is not deep."

Li Xia shook his head and said, "The blood coagulation function is poor. I'm afraid it was you last year... oh, the year before last, those few arrows in Longhu hurt your liver."

Hao Xiuyang was not interested in the war, but he was very curious about it, and asked, "What is blood coagulation function?"

Li Xia has always liked fitness and health preservation. He said: "The speed of blood clotting and self-healing ability are related to the liver, so sleep is very important, and it is necessary to rest the liver. Exercise is also very important, which can make up for the damage caused by lack of sleep. "

Hao Xiuyang laughed, and said: "It's amazing, amazing, it has my Taoist qualifications. But why do you say that the liver and blood are related..."

Han Qi'an turned his head to look, and there was some understanding in his eyes.

He could see that Li Xia had anticipated this year's war and was not nervous, so he was not in a hurry to ask about the war but said something aside.

It's a pity that although Hao Xiuyang was interested, Nie Zhongyou was indifferent to these things, and said with a smile: "The man has a little injury, so why should he be a mother-in-law?"

"That's different. For example, Muru and I, if we sleep deeply and move a lot, our physique will be good. You are different, you have to pay attention, and don't get hurt easily."

Li Xia was actually explaining to Nie Zhongyou quite solemnly, rather than chatting casually.

"Okay." Nie Zhongyou put on his clothes and said, "Let's go on. After the Battle of Chengdu, Pu Shuai saw that Chengdu was broken and Jianmen Pass was not in his hands, so he had to slowly retreat to Chongqing Mansion to rest, but at the same time he also sent troops to Kuzhu Pass. , Dahuo City."

He pointed at the map.

Kuzhu Pass is located on Xiaojian Mountain in the southwest of Jianmen Pass. It is also a mountain city like Lingxiao City, but the area on the top of the mountain is much smaller, and there are not many troops stationed there.

Dahuo City is located on Dahuo Mountain in the southeast of Jianmen Pass. It is also a dangerous mountain and is one of the eight pillars in Sichuan.

These two mountain cities are stuck on the left and the right on the road from Jianmenguan to Sichuan.

It's a pity that the Kuzhu Pass has too few troops to stop the Mongolian army. It can only be used as a nail and nailed to the rear.

"This time, for some reason, Wang Dechen went crazy and stormed the Kuzhu pass and won the city. The reinforcements sent by Pu Shuai were blocked at the mouth of the Jialing River, so we sent our Suining army to reinforce them, but they were also blocked."

Han Qi'an said: "The Mongolian army wants to conquer the Kuzhu pass and win the city without hesitating casualties?"

Li Xia has been to Yunding City and Lingxiao City, and knows how dangerous this kind of mountain city is, and the Mongolian army may not be able to capture it no matter how heavy the price is.

"Obviously, the Mongolian army will make big moves this year."

Nie Zhongyou said: "Pu Shuai also thought so. He sent scouts to inquire about the situation of the Mongolian army. He found out that Niu Lin was building ships on the Minjiang River after occupying Chengdu again."

Li Yong said: "The natural moat of the Yangtze River is here. Both Xuzhou City and Luzhou God's Arm City are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Mongolian army will definitely not be able to attack the city. Should the target be Chongqing?"

Han Qi'an marked with a pen that the Mongolian army's offensive gradually formed a line and surrounded Sichuan and Shu.

"Unlike previous years, it doesn't seem like this year is going to put pressure on the Sichuan-Shu defense line...there is an intention to take Sichuan and Shu..."

Li Xia got up and lit two more candles, listened to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and meditated for a while.

"Brother Meng is going to conscript himself." He said suddenly.

"what?"

"No way?"

"Why is Alang so sure?"

Li Xia first pointed to Chengdu on the map, and said: "Last year in the battle of Chengdu, Niu Lin was defeated. He didn't have the golden talisman of Marshal of the capital. Once Abu Gan died, he couldn't command the soldiers and horses, so he had to retreat to Lizhou. Now he is preparing to attack Xu and Lu, which means that he has received the appointment from Brother Meng. And it is very urgent, too urgent."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bitter bamboo pass.

"There are only a few hundred troops stationed in Kuzhu Pass. Why did Wang Dechen go out of his way and insist on taking it? Afraid these hundreds of people will invade the grain line after the Mongolian army enters Sichuan? No."

Li Xia's tone became more and more certain, and he said: "Only if Brother Meng wants to come in person, Wang Dechen will definitely take the bitter bamboo pass. If a Mongolian Khan personally conquers, if he can't even conquer such a small village, what's the point?"

Li Yong always felt that Li Xia was too arbitrary.

He couldn't say it, he just felt that this inference sounded reasonable, but the reason seemed to be unable to draw such a conclusion...

The others were already convinced, and each pondered.

Nie Zhongyou's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Feiyu should join Pu Shuai's army. If Pu Shuai has your help in this battle..."

Li Xia wasn't listening to what he said, his eyes fell on the map, thinking differently from Nie Zhongyou.

The so-called "crisis" means that others only see danger in some things, but he is considering the opportunities contained in them.

"First of all, we have to defeat Niu Lin, and protect Shunan from being affected by the flames of war..."

~~
Jiang Fan changed his clothes, put the dagger away, and said to his two subordinates, "Have you put all the money back home?"

"Yes."

These two subordinates were different from those who inquired about the news during the day, they were silent and dull, they just grinned, expressing that they were very satisfied with the reward for going out to do errands during the New Year's Eve.

"The boat is hired."

"Let's go, go to Xuzhou City to deliver New Year's goods..."

Jiang Fan was a little excited, thinking that tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he made people early in the morning. The deterrent to those profiteers in Syria is obviously different.

However, before he went out, he saw a small official running quickly.

"Boss Jiang, the county magistrate is calling you over."

"It's over." Although Jiang Fan was puzzled, his face was still calm.

This is what Li Xia taught him. Sometimes people can see that a little emotion of doubt can affect many things.

Jiang Fan learned very well, but he couldn't stand up in front of a few people.

He walked quickly all the way, entered the county government office, and paid New Year's greetings to Li Xia in a hurry.

"Magistrate, don't you need to kill the salt merchant?"

"Things have changed, this one is not the only one to be killed... Sit down and wait for Mr. Han to arrange."

"Yes."

Li Xia got up and said to Han Qi'an: "Then it will be hard for Mr. Yi Ning. I will take General Nie to the camp to meet my old friend."

~~
This year, there are still many soldiers in the Qingfu Army who have not been able to go home. The school grounds are brightly lit and a stage is set up, on which "Shuo Yue" is being sung.

Li Xia asked someone to make up this play based on the storyteller's story. Besides, there are many new plays. The reason why this play is released first is because Han Chengxu, Yang Guo and others will come over later, and they are concerned about their emotions. .

Liu Jinsuo was sitting in the crowd, nibbling melon seeds and bragging while watching a show, when he suddenly heard someone shout "The magistrate is here", he jumped up suddenly.

"The magistrate came so early? Get out of the way, I'll meet... stand at attention!"

With a loud shout, the crowd seemed to have been blasted to open a passage. Liu Jinsuo laughed loudly, strode away, and soon there was another cheer.

"Magistrate! Eh... Brother Nie! Lin Zi!"

Nie Zhongyou was hugged violently, the wound on his body hurt badly, but he laughed and said, "I haven't seen you Mrs. Liu Mang for a long time, and you have grown a lot."

"Brother, I'm spoiled. The county magistrate never takes me with him in wars, otherwise he should see you last time... No, then, come and watch the show."

"No hurry, where is Yang Ben? Is he recovering from his injury?"

"My brother actually knows this stinky face. He will sing "Yang Ling Gong" on stage soon, let's sit over there and watch."

Nie Zhongyou said: "I just met you, then go to the camp for a walk, we will leave tonight."

"Leave tonight? How can it be..."

"I came here to congratulate Feiyu." Nie Zhongyou patted Liu Jinsuo's shoulder solemnly, and said, "Listen to the magistrate's words carefully, and don't worry about not having a battle."

Liu Jinsuo was so disappointed that he obediently agreed.

Li Xia led them to walk around the school grounds and talked, and met some comrades who fought side by side in the First World War in Chengdu. Seeing that it was getting late, Nie Zhongyou stopped and cupped his hands.

"I have to rush back to the Suining Army, so I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

"Well, I found a boat, you guys can rest overnight on the boat, and ride on the other side of the Yangtze River tomorrow..."

Nie Zhongyou came here this time just to congratulate Li Xia, and he left as soon as he saw him. He and Lin Zi boarded the boat at the small pier next to the camp.

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

The boat went down the river, and the opera from the barracks could be heard from a distance.

"Heroes from the two rivers are on standby. Fu Yanyun is not only the only army of the Yue family? The righteous army will win in the end, why should the hero burst into tears, and act as a Sai Xue and immediately drink to Huanglong..."
