Soldiers come to the world

Chaisang County is busy inside and outside. In the past few days, tens of thousands of Chaisang people have been returning home one after another. When the Chaisang people were evacuated to Yangxin County and Xiazhi County, many generals objected, including Liu Hu and Wei Yan objected, thinking that this was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but Liu Jing resisted all opinions and insisted on withdrawing both the army and the people.

On the top of the city, Liu Jing was inspecting the craftsmen who were reinstalling trebuchets and stone cannons. These catapults and stone cannons were manufactured in Yangxin County and reinstalled after they were transported to Chaisang.

"Got home!"

The cheers outside the city caught Liu Jing's attention. He turned around and walked to the wall, only to see hundreds of ships lining up to enter the city, and the excitement of returning home caused the people to cheer.

Liu Jing looked far away, and he watched the small boats on the Cao River carrying the Chaisang people back to the city. Everyone's face was full of joy, with the joy of returning home, Liu Jing also showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, there was a slight commotion behind him, and Liu Jing looked back. It turned out that hundreds of women came from the top of the city to deliver food. There are steamed cakes in the pot, and there is a delicious sauce in the earthenware pot.

The arrival of the women made the city lively, and the fatigues of the craftsmen and soldiers were swept away immediately, and they surrounded them one after another, with constant laughter.

Liu Jing smiled, men and women are matched, work is not tiring, it seems that it is the golden rule since ancient times, suddenly, Liu Jing saw a familiar figure, a young woman wearing a bamboo hat, plump but not She was slender, and there was an indescribable elegance in her gestures. She was asking a soldier for something, and the soldier pointed in her direction.

Liu Jing was a little stunned, could it be her?

When the young woman saw him, a touching smile appeared on her beautiful face. At this moment, Liu Jing recognized her, it was really Tao Zhan.

Surprised and delighted, Liu Jing walked towards her quickly, but when he came to her, he hesitated again. Tao Zhan was wearing an ordinary peasant's black wide-brimmed bamboo hat, and ordinary women's dark gray clothes. She wears a long coarse dress, a bamboo basket on her arm, and is covered with a cloth. From the outside, she looks like an ordinary woman from a poor family.

It's just that her snow-white and delicate skin is different from ordinary women, revealing her extraordinary identity.

"Why are you here?" Liu Jing looked her up and down and couldn't help laughing.

Tao Zhan finally found Liu Jing, full of joy, but when he saw his eyes sizing up his attire, he couldn't help giving him a coquettish look.

"Why, as a member of Chaisang, can't I come and deliver some meals to the soldiers and do my best?"

"Of course, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Tao Zhan cut off his words and forbade him to continue. She pretended to be angry and glared at Liu Jing again, "Is there anything wrong with me wearing this dress? This is the cloth I wove and made by myself." Dress."

"no!"

Liu Jing quickly explained with a smile: "I just didn't expect you to appear at the top of the city, so I was very surprised and thought I was delusional."

Seeing his sincerity, Tao Zhan turned his anger into joy, handed him the bamboo basket, and said with a smile, "Eat it! This is your lunch."

A warm current poured into Liu Jing's heart. It turned out that she brought food for him. He was moved, took the basket and smiled, "What is it?"

"It's a few side dishes I made myself, and I learned from Xiao Baozi and baked two mutton cakes for you to see if you like it."

Liu Jing couldn't help but glanced at her delicate little hands again, such delicate hands could weave and make clothes by themselves, as well as cook, it was really difficult for her.

He nodded silently, found a flat boulder, opened the cloth towel, and found a delicate food box in the basket, opened the food box again, and saw a plate of green cabbage and white reeds cut into thin strips, Served with a white jade plate, it is pleasing to the eye. This is not a side dish, but a work of art.

Tao Zhan had already taken off the bamboo hat, revealing her pitch-black hair, which made her more attractive. She handed Liu Jing a pair of chopsticks, and took out a mutton pie from the food box with her slender hands. A thick layer of meat sauce, rolled up and handed to him, said with a smile: "Eat it quickly!"

Liu Jing smiled, took the meatloaf and began to chew, and then swept away the two plates of side dishes. Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Tao Zhan was so happy that he took out a small bottle from the basket and handed it to him, "General Liu , How about a drink?"

Liu Jing shook his head quickly, "No! You can't drink alcohol, this is a military rule."

Tao Zhan blinked mischievously, "Did I say it was wine?"

Liu Jing was startled, he took the small bottle and smelled it, a clear scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came to his nostrils, as if his whole mind became clear.

"this is....."

"This is sweet-scented osmanthus pear syrup, made with the best mountain spring water. I made a few cans in Yangxin County when I had nothing to do. In autumn, my lungs are dry. Drinking this is the most nourishing. I used to learn how to make it from my mother every year. This year it is my own. Done."

Speaking of mother, Tao Zhan had a gloomy look in his eyes. She didn't want to affect Liu Jing's mood, so she smiled and said, "See if you like it. If you like it, I still have a lot."

Liu Jing drank it down without putting any honey, and a refreshing fragrance lingered on his lips for a long time, he nodded, "It's really good, very fragrant, but next time don't put it in a small bottle , will cause the soldiers to misunderstand.”

Tao Zhan gave him a white look, "There is no next time, this girl is in a good mood today, so I made a special trip to let Xiao Baozi deliver food to you next time! I won't let her come today, and she still pouts unhappy. "

Speaking of this, she stood up, looked around the top of the city, couldn't help but sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say it! I grew up in Chaisang City, and this is the first time that the top of the city has come up. With this appearance, General Liu, can you see the Yangtze River?"

"Of course you can see it! I'll take you there."

Liu Jing stood up, pointed to the east, and said with a smile: "The Yangtze River is the most spectacular to see there, Miss Tao please!"

Tao Zhan pursed her lips and smiled, and followed Liu Jing slowly towards the east of the city. Before she knew it, she took Liu Jing's arm. Seeing that there was no one around, she whispered again: "I'm here to ask you, have you gone?" Xiazhi County, why don't you come to Yangxin County to see me?"

"Because I was worried about the Jiangdong Army's attack, I didn't dare to leave Xiazhi County. Yangxin County had to entrust Yuanzhi to take care of it, including the Tao family. I also entrusted him to visit."

"You're right, what about now?"

Tao Zhan looked at him, with a half-smile on his face and asked: "It's been three days, but you refused to enter Tao's mansion. Do you think of me when I have the audacity to bring you food?"

Liu Jing heard that there was a lot of blame in her tone, and quickly explained: "I was busy from morning to midnight, I just wanted to split myself in two, and I was worried that the Jiangdong Army would arrive at any time, and there were thousands of things in my mind. Jiuniang, I'm really sorry."

Of course, Tao Zhan didn't really blame him, but just wanted to know how important she was in his heart. Liu Jing's answer made her very satisfied, and she smiled, "The attitude is not bad. I just want to see someone's sincere attitude. Just spare him once, um! It's getting late, I have to go back."

Liu Jing was stunned, "Don't you want to see the Yangtze River?"

Tao Zhan smiled like a peach blossom on his face, and shook his head lightly, "I don't know why, but I suddenly don't want to watch it anymore, let's watch it another day! General Liu, can you take me back to my residence?"

It was only then that Liu Jing realized that she didn't want to see the Yangtze River, she just wanted to find a place where no one was around and talk to herself, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, a woman's heart!

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

After sending Tao Zhan back, Liu Jing had just walked to the side of the city wall when a huge body suddenly blocked his way.

"Sima, I just can't figure it out!"

As soon as Liu Jing looked up, seeing Liu Hu scratching his head and standing in front of him with a puzzled face, Liu Jing felt dizzy for a while. Why are there so many people who have opinions today? He asked angrily: "What can't you figure out? "

"Since we knew we were going to bring these people back, why did we send them away in the first place?"

"That's why you are here?"

Liu Jing looked at him, "Is that why you can't figure it out?"

"Yes!"

Liu Hu no longer scratched his head. He mustered up his courage, bit his lips tightly and said, "Brothers are very tired by doing this, and more than a dozen brothers were injured by it. I think it's not worth it."

Liu Jing didn't answer him directly, he walked up to the top of the city, Liu Hu followed him far away, Liu Jing walked to the city wall, watched the dense boats on the Cao River, and said calmly after a while: "Have you ever tasted the feeling of being abandoned? ?”

Liu Hu shook his head, "No."

"I have tasted it!"

Liu Jing's smile was a little sad, "That feeling is uncomfortable, and the soldiers and civilians of Chaisang are the same. If they didn't share life and death last year, maybe they wouldn't care."

Liu Jing sighed, and continued: "Jiangdong's army is suppressing the country. At this time, should your subjects abandon them and run away by themselves, or share weal and woe and withdraw together?"

Only then did Liu Hu understand Liu Jing's meaning. After a while, he hesitated and said, "But the Jiangdong Army may not necessarily hurt them."

"Yes! I know Sun Quan won't hurt them, but that's not what I want. What I want is the loyalty of my subjects. If I don't share weal and woe with them, how can the people of Chaisang be loyal to me? How can the people of Jiangxia accept me? When the war comes, if I don't abandon the people of Chaisang, then the people of Jiangxia will believe that I, Liu Jing, will also not abandon them, do you understand?"

Liu Jing poked Liu Hu's chest heavily with his fingers, and his voice became low, "You have to know, this is how people's hearts are won!"

Liu Hu lowered his head, this was a state he couldn't understand, but he knew that Liu Jing was right, after a pause, Liu Hu's thoughts returned to the things he cared about, and complained to Liu Jing: "They destroy The iron-smelting furnace was broken, and the craftsmen said that it would take at least a month to restore it, so I will not be able to get the saber for this battle."

Liu Jing smiled and patted his broad shoulders, "The horse-cutting knife is used to deal with cavalry, the Jiangdong army doesn't need it, the three-pointed double-edged knife is enough, train hard! There will be times when you will show your skills."
