143. The counselor?
After Wang Yuanji came to the guest yard, he did not come again. The guest yard immediately returned to its pure appearance.
Several strategists who lived in the living yard were already comforted by the benefits of winter clothes. Without the restlessness in the early stage, they gathered in the yard these days and communicated with all kinds of information they received from the outside. Yunyan and Lianyin would hear a few ears when they were fine, so they could be considered to know some of the current situation of the army.
While the princes surrounded the capital of God, a group of bandits in the north took the opportunity to make an appointment, and their forces unstoppable capture of three northern states, and then they also sent troops to the capital to leave.
The allied troops formed by various princes to attack the imperial capital for a long time, and they had a strong enemy on their backs, and suddenly they were in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Whether to continue to attack the imperial capital or to divide the troops into two groups to attack the thief army, the princes from all sides could not discuss it, but there was no final conclusion.
Xiao Jiujiu, who is indifferent to others, is now at a critical moment, and I don’t know what it will look like after invading the imperial capital. Therefore, no one is willing to be the vanguard army that suppresses bandits.
It is also because of this situation that the dozen coalition forces of more than a dozen have gradually become somewhat disintegrated.
Compared to the counselors in the guesthouse sighing while talking loudly about what strategies they would have in the army to resolve the mood, Yun Yan and Lianyin just listened simply, and after hearing it, they would pass. No one talked too much about this.
As the weather gets colder, clouds always have to cough a few times every day when they wake up early. The wind-cold cough in last winter seemed to be back.
Fortunately, it is not in the mountains, and there is no shortage of supplies. Lu Qiba doesn't need to turn on Lianyin's golden finger and catch rats everywhere. Moreover, Ji Wujiu also gave Lianyin some money to stay with him. Lianyin used the money to sweep the streets, bought a few frames of pears and some nourishing ingredients, and moved them all back to the living yard for a place.
When several strategists in the living courtyard saw him, they didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly joked that Lian Yin was a bit rural. In such a huge and warm place in Dongyang County, what should I eat? You can eat it after a walk on the street. How can I store food for winter like this?
Yunyan looked at the things that Lianyin moved back, but didn't laugh at her country habits, and just asked her: "Are you moving all the pears you bought in the market?"
After hearing this, Lianyin tilted her head and thought about it carefully, and then replied to him: "No, I have chosen these one by one, so I naturally didn't want the bad ones. I just couldn't afford to hold them for too long, so I've screened them."
After hearing this, Yunyan shook his head and smiled, with a little doting in his smile, and asked again: "You have spent all the money given by Master on this?"
Lianyin nodded and said yes, and added that she not only bought pears, but also bought some nutritious ingredients for emergencies.
Yunyan's smile became more and more unstoppable: "Master knows, I must feel sorry for you." Ji Wujiu saved money and saved up his family's fortune for many years.
Lianyin followed his words and thought about Ji Wujiu's possible heartache, and couldn't help but smile.
Yunyan then picked up a pear and squeezed it into his hand. The yellow and orange pear was quite large. Judging from the appearance of the skin, you could imagine that the pulp pulp under the skin must be sufficient. He glanced at it a few times and suddenly said to himself: "I haven't eaten what you have made for a long time."
Living in the Censor's Hospital, the daily food is served in the kitchen of the mansion, and there is no need for Lianyin to arrange it. But in Yunyan's heart, the chef's skills of the Censor's Hospital are not as good as Lianyin. After a few days after he moved in, he began to think about Lianyin's craftsmanship, and this thought has been for many days and nights.
Lianyin heard his words clearly, reached out to take the pear in his hand, and said, "Prepare these for you to eat in winter, and you will have something to eat in winter."
Yunyan wanted to laugh, but frowned again: "So much, it seems that eating these is enough for me to spend the winter."
Knowing that he was telling a joke, Lianyin didn't bother to go back to him.
...
After the beginning of winter, Xiaoxue arrived soon.
On the night when the northwest wind whistled, the Big Dipper Sinked, while another Orion star quietly leaned over.
It was also in such a two-way alternation that the bandit army in the north suddenly deviated from the original route of going south to the imperial capital, and suddenly came westward, invincible all the way, and had already killed outside Huzhou City.
When the Censor's Office received the news, the bandit army was already attacking the Huzhou city gate.
Fortunately, most of the defenders in Huzhou City were all troops left by Wang Xiang, which was the only way to stop the sudden invading thieves at the first time.
However, although the defending army could block the thief army for a while, the thief army was not a mob. The morale was very high when they fought along the way. It would probably not take much time to break the Huzhou city.
As the war broke out, the people in Huzhou City became in chaos in an instant. As soon as the news came to the Censor's Mansion, the hearts of the people in the mansion became turbulent.
If Huzhou City is broken, the next place will be Dongyang County.
After receiving this fatal news, Wang Yuanji sat in the Grand Master's chair on the spot, as if a burden weighing a thousand pounds was suddenly dropped on her shoulders.
As the person in the mansion, Wang Yuanji is no longer just about giving up things, but also about comforting people's hearts and setting up a way out.
In the past, Wang Yuanji was the best at appeasement, but that was based on the premise of peace. Now the word "Taiping" is obviously not in line with Dongyang County, and her style cannot be compared with the war.
Fortunately, she was in panic and did not forget to send the news that the thief army besieged Huzhou City to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and requested the surrounding city guards to go for rescue.
After that, what she had to consider was the issue of staying and retreating. After learning about Huzhou City, the people of Dongyang County had already packed up their fine materials and fled to other places as soon as possible.
Almost all those who can leave are gone, and those who stay are unable to leave.
When the news of the war reached the guest yard, all the strategists who could have talked a lot shut up and their faces were filled with sorrow. If Huzhou City was lost, the next journey would be Dongyang County, and the Censor's Mansion would definitely be the number one target of the bandit army.
Having strangled Dongyang County was equivalent to shaking Wang Xiang's life. If the troops in Huzhou City and the troops in Dongyang County were completely destroyed, even if Wang Xiang, the alliance leader, saved the master, any subsequent changes would have nothing to do with him.
"This matter is probably a disaster!" Someone among the strategists sighed.
Another adviser followed and agreed: "I'm afraid I'm unable to make the situation come true."
While several strategists sighed, Yunyan and Lianyin were still the calmest.
The two of them seemed to have no idea about the current situation. They still ate when they should eat, sleep when they should sleep, and pass the time when they are free. When they are interested, they practice writing.
The counselors who had mocked Lianyin's rural posture and stocked up many pears were now watching her stew pears for Yunyan, while sighing. At this time, they still ate these!
Chapter completed!
