Watching the dedicated Liu Xin hurriedly walk out, Minchan had mixed feelings in her heart, she knew that as time went by, no matter how beautiful a woman was, men would lose interest if they saw too much, and now three months have passed, and she still hasn't been able to use her beauty to attract Liu Xin, and her hope for the future is even smaller, Mink Chan can't help but hate Wang Yunlai a little, in addition to letting herself learn to sing and dance, he didn't let her learn anything else, how to behave in front of Liu Xin now,

Not only Liu Xin's dedication is very different from the legends of the outside world, but the rest of this state pastoral mansion is also full of differences, such a major event as worshipping ancestors, women can also participate, that is unheard of, how precious an item like white porcelain is, so that Wang Yun can send Minchan out without hesitation, but in the state pastoral mansion, it is just ordinary tableware, the ladies are not Mrs. Jiao who is not wet with rice, they have their own duties, even their children are not the kind of clothes to reach out, food to open their mouths, pampered Miss Gongzi, All children should start to learn to eat with chopsticks at the age of four, and start to practice literature and martial arts at the age of six.

However, these days Minchan is not idle, the ladies refuse to teach her, she learns secretly, in her opinion, the reason why the ladies refuse to teach her, is that she is worried that she will compete for favor, although she has several piercing on her hands, but finally learned to use needle and thread, she will also do some simple housework, when Cai Yan teaches children, she will also hide aside and eavesdrop, but, just rely on these to attract Liu Xin's attention, it seems that it is still too far away,

As soon as Liu Xin entered the study, he quickly stood up and said, "Back to the lord, Sun Jian, the Taishou of Lujiang, sent someone to send an urgent official document and wanted to borrow from Jingzhou. ”

"Borrow." Liu Xin was quite surprised, and said, "Sun Jian must have received Cao Ying's edict and sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Lujiang was originally in Jiangbei, and from there he went to Luoyang, he should go to Runan, how could he borrow from Jingzhou." ”

"Sun Jian said in the official document that the roads in Jingzhou are flat and wide, which is conducive to the march of the army, so he wants to borrow the road from Jingzhou, and in addition, he also proposed it in the official document, asking the counties along the way in Jingzhou to receive the grain and grass and military supplies of his department. ”

Liu Xin sneered: "Hmph, this Sun Wentai's appetite is not small, who does he think he is, you go and tell the person who comes, there is no way to borrow the way, and it is even more wishful thinking to ask for food and grass." ”

Frustrated and said: "Lord, Sun Jian said in the official document that he is righteous and awe-inspiring, crusade against the traitor, everyone in the world is responsible, Jingzhou does not send troops, when the grain and grass are helped, although he is a lie, but I can't wait to ignore it, now the lord's plan should be to get rid of Dong Zhuo first, Sun Jian is brave, like a tiger, don't rashly turn his face with him, he took the road to fight Dong Zhuo, it is beneficial and harmless to me, and it is not a big deal to help him with some grain and grass, please think twice." ”

Liu Xin didn't answer him directly, but asked: "Gonghe, who built these roads in Jingzhou that extend in all directions now." ”

Without thinking, he said, "Naturally, it is cultivated by the lord. ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "Gonghe, you are wrong, where are these roads built by me, it is clear that the people of Jingzhou have contributed money and efforts to build such roads, let me ask you again, where does the grain and grass accumulated in various counties come from." ”

Frustrated this time, he bowed his hand and said: "These grains and grasses are naturally paid by the people of Jingzhou. ”

Liu Xin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Whether it is a road, grain or grass, it is all the people's fat and people's ointment of the people of Jingzhou, he Sun Jian has contributed half of his strength to the people of Jingzhou, and why should he occupy these roads and grain and grass, besides, the crossing of the army will inevitably disturb the people, and it will be even more harmful to the people, I will not agree to borrow this road." ”

Fu Zhi knew that Liu Xin's consideration was reasonable, thought about it and said, "Since you don't borrow the road to lend him food, you must prepare in advance to prevent Sun Jian from breaking in." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said: "Gonghe, didn't you notice that you didn't come back for the Spring Festival, I had already laid out heavy troops there in Jiangxia, and I also transferred the evil to the past." ”

Fu Zhi knew that Liu Xin had always been very concerned about his subordinates, but he was a little puzzled by his transfer of Dian Wei to Jiangxia at this time, and reminded: "It turns out that the lord has foreseen it, but the barbarian wife of General Dian's family seems to be pregnant with Liujia, and you are transferring him now, is it a little unkind." ”

Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "Evil comes to follow me, it's rare to have a chance to show his skills, his wife is pregnant again, he can't go to the Northern Expedition next spring, I will go to Jiangxia to adjust the evil, just to consider that if Sun Jian dares to come to offend, it will be good for him to enjoy it first." ”

He smiled and said: "I see, I thought that the lord didn't notice the situation in General Dian's house, hahahaha, it turned out that his subordinates were too worried." ”

Liu Xin originally planned to think about sending troops after the New Year in peace, anyway, most of the preparations had been completed in advance, but now that Sun Jian was troubled like this, this year was not easy.

An urgent order was sent to Zhang He in Jiangxia overnight by a fast horse, resolutely not allowing Sun Jian's men and horses to enter the country and disturb the people, and to monitor the movements of Sun Jian's troops at any time, and at the same time ordered Dian Wei that as long as Sun Jian led his troops to leave the country and go north, he must quickly withdraw to Xiangyang.

During the Spring Festival this year, the research institute and the Flying Tiger guards only arranged a five-day holiday.

The Flying Tiger Guards have now grown to more than 3,000 people, and many of the 1,000 people brought from Hejian have been transferred to various legions as middle and lower-level officers, and most of the current Flying Tiger Guards have been recruited from Jingzhou in recent years, because the war is imminent, the officials' mansions, research institutes and other key departments in Xiangyang City and some warehouses must strengthen their defense forces, and these guards are arranged to take turns on vacation within a month.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, most of the guards did not have a holiday, Liu Xin specially arranged today's lunch in the military camp of the Flying Tiger guards, and when they saw Liu Xin coming in, the faces of the guards were obviously full of excitement, and the cheers were higher and higher.

Wei Yan, who was taking the men to serve food to the soldiers, was so excited that he couldn't speak, he didn't join the Flying Tiger Guards for a long time, but because he was young, it was Liu Xin who got him into the barracks through the back door, so he especially cherished this opportunity, and didn't feel that the profession of the guy was inferior, Wei Yan was willing to endure hardships, and his strength was great, both cooking and training were outstanding, and he was appointed as the captain of the Huotou Army by Dian Wei within a few days, Wei Yan was originally a knife, but now the big knife has been replaced by a kitchen knife, and it has been three months. He already has a good eye for cooking,

Liu Xin saw Wei Yan, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Listen to Dian Wei, you did a good job, do a good job, read more when you have time, young man, work hard, and you will have a future in the future." ”

Wei Yan opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, he just nodded vigorously,

Liu Xin walked past Wei Yan, and at a glance saw Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, and Wu Lan standing behind with cloth skirts, looking this way, Liu Xin smiled and beckoned to them, walked to an empty table and sat down,

Zhang Ren and they are not like Wei Yan, they are just fledgling teenagers, they have all seen the world, seeing Liu Xin beckoning, they hurriedly walked over, and said in unison: "What does the lord command." ”

These three people have been captured for half a year, and this is the first time they called Liu Xin's lord, Liu Xin can breathe out, they are not a little hypocritical, so they pointed to the vacant seat next to them, and said: "Are you all busy, sit down when you are done, let's talk while eating." ”

Zhang Ren and the others looked at each other, bowed together and said, "How can there be a seat next to the lord." ”

Liu Xin smiled and pointed to the guards around him, and said, "Manly man, how do you twist and pinch it, you ask them, how many times did Liu eat with them in a certain year." ”

The surrounding guards all laughed, these guards usually have serious expressions and cold faces, but in fact they are all young men, and there is a fire burning in their hearts, Liu Xin often uses the time to eat and rest to mingle with them, try to mobilize their emotions and relieve their pressure, so these guards regard Liu Xin as their relatives in their hearts.

After these days, Zhang Ren and they have long felt the love of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army for Liu Xin, it is all from the heart, although they stay in the barracks most of the time, but they also have two days off every month, and their families are completely free to move, in the month of La, they also have family members who have gone back to Ba County to see, and brought back the news, the life of the people of Ba County is much better than when Zhang Ren governed Ba County, not only that, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army are also very popular with the people, not at all like when they were in Ba County, When the people saw their army coming, they had already hid far away, and Zhang Ren and they now really regarded themselves as a member of the Jingzhou army, and they only hated themselves for waking up too late.

After Zhang Ren and them sat down, Liu Xin asked, "How is it, are you still used to living here?" ”

Zhang Ren and the others stood up together, arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, I will wait for the past to be obsessed, please punish the lord." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand, motioned for them to sit down, and said, "Let the past pass, since you have all figured it out, I will give you a new arrangement." ”

The three people whose buttocks had just touched the stool stood up again with a "brush", and waited respectfully for Liu Xin's order.

Liu Xin didn't order them to sit down again, raised his head and looked around, then turned to the three of them again, and said: "Lei Tong and Wu Lan listen to the order, from tomorrow, you go to the Third Army General Zhang He to report to the account, temporarily serve as a partial general, and wait for another reward after meritorious service, Zhang Ren listens to the order, and from tomorrow you go to the account of General Xu Huang of the First Army to temporarily serve as a partial general." ”

The three of them knelt down together and said loudly: "We will obey the orders of the lord and will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

Liu Xin helped them up and said, "You guys prepare immediately, and you can leave tomorrow." ”

Wei Yan saw that his three subordinates had been promoted, and immediately quit, he ran to Liu Xin in three steps, and said, "Lord, I also want to be a partial general." ”
