Wu, Wang Ruyan, and Xiao Hong were all stunned for a moment. Although they knew that their fiancée would definitely become his wife, this was too sudden.
They looked at Wu Nian who was sitting upright with a serious face. But everyone knows that this matter has been settled.
The general's idea is very right.
Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, they used to regard Liu Xiang as their eldest sister. Wu's eyes were red, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped it, then nodded slowly: "Okay, okay."
The Wu family has no elders or relatives. She took matters into her own hands.
Although the Wu family is now thin, it still has roots. As long as this little brother is still here, the Wu family can flourish.
My parents, who are still in heaven, will also feel gratified.
"Sister. This is a happy event, why are you crying?" Wu Nian looked at Wu and said with a smile.
"Yeah. Don't cry, don't cry." Mrs. Wu looked apologetic and nodded.
This matter is settled.
Let the eldest sister take care of it.
Wu Nian went back to his room to sit for a while and take a walk before going to practice martial arts.
Boxing, kicking, swordsmanship, punching, and beating the body.
A morning passed like this.
During this period, Liu Xiang came over to take a look. Wu may have told her. Wu Nian said hello, and Liu Xiang ran away with a blushing face.
During lunch, Liu Xiang's face was also red. Seeing how shy she was, Wu Nian wanted to tease her, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Wu Nian had nothing to do in the afternoon. He was a little panicked and went to the Fuhan General's Mansion.
This power center used by Wu Nian to "order" the entire Liaodong was pitifully small. But the number of people gradually increased.
Not to mention the soldiers guarding the gate and standing guard, there are also many petty officials coming in and out.
"General."
"General."
Unlike the Chu court, they did not recognize Wu Nian. After every petty official saw Wu Nian, no matter how busy they were, they would get out of the way, and then bend down to salute respectfully.
Wu Nian's prestige was not given by the imperial court.
What prestige does a small flag officer have?
His prestige is truly earned. Although in the eyes of Jin Huanshan and Zhang Bu, Wu Nian was despicable and a villain who did not fight head-on.
But from the perspective of Beishan Fort, our general is resourceful and wise.
It's a matter of perspective.
This general's mansion. Changshi, Gongcao, and Sima all have separate offices. At present, it is only open in Sima.
Wu Nian walked naturally to Li Yong's office.
Poor Lao Li was so busy that his feet did not touch the floor. The official documents on his desk were piled high. He was lying on the desk again, and he could hardly be seen.
"General." Li Yong raised his head when he heard the movement, revealing a thin cheek.
Wu Nian felt a little distressed after seeing it.
Before this, Lao Li was only literate, and even half-understood official documents. Now it was really difficult for him to take the lead.
But he couldn't help it, he couldn't find the right person.
"Take a rest and drink some water." Wu Nian quickly asked a soldier to get some water, and then said to Li Yong.
"Okay." Li Yong showed an ugly smile and nodded.
The two people left the room filled with official documents, went to a small room next to them, and sat down to drink tea.
Li Yong felt relaxed as if he had escaped from a devil's cave.
"Old Li, how many people are there in Beishan Fort now? How is the food situation?" Although Li Yong was asked to relax, the conversation still couldn't avoid work. Wu Nian picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, then couldn't help but ask.
"There are 32,000 people. There are still people coming one after another. I think there will be at least 50,000 people before spring. As for food, they have brought some rations themselves. At present, I have organized officials to go to the mountain villages to collect food. , but it’s not ideal. Although we are fighting against the Mongolian people, the mountain people also treasure food. We are not a government yet." Li Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The strategy set by Wu Nian has made things easier for the army and the people.
But it is also a big problem to gain the trust of the mountain people and get them to take out the food obediently.
Now that Beishan Fort has a large population, it should be put on the agenda to build a mountain fort on Mangya Mountain and send some people there.
It was really tiring to have all these things weighing on him alone.
Wu Nian nodded. There are some differences between the theory and actual operation. The conflict between the military and civilians is not just talk.
This is a grind, so you have to take your time.
However, Lao Li said it was not ideal, but it seemed that there was an ideal place, and there were mountain people who were willing to hand over food. In addition to the people who came to seek refuge, some brought rations.
It seems okay for the time being, but it will definitely be doomed in the long run.
Special code.
Why is it so difficult to find talented people to help with administrative work?
Looking at those people in history, it was easy to get talent.
Han Gaozu and Xiao He were from the same county.
It seems easy for Cao Cao to get Xun Yu.
Sun Ce had two when crossing the river.
I posted a notice to reward talents, but I got nothing?
Really annoying.
Just when Wu Nian was troubled.
There was a team of more than a hundred people, walking from south to north, heading towards the Beishan Fort.
Because of the war, there were a lot fewer bandits on the mountain. They are not fools, they all know that neither Meng Yuan nor Wu Nian are easy to mess with.
Some bandits moved, and some simply pretended to be refugees and fled south.
But even so, there are still some bandits and nail-biters.
This group of people looked very organized. Some were riding horses, some were on foot, there were carts, there were baggage, and there were five people wearing armor. They were not just ordinary people.
There are no bandits to bother them.
However, walking on mountain roads in winter is not easy, and the people in the team are more or less embarrassed.
In the center of the team, there were two men in armor, riding strong horses, walking side by side.
One person was older, about forty years old, a bit fierce-looking, tall and powerful, with a sword on his waist and a bow and arrow hanging on the back of his horse.
The man was in his early twenties, handsome in appearance, fair in complexion, tall, a little thin, but not weak. He could barely hold up his armor, and he had no sword or bow.
The two men are nearly twenty years apart, but they are brothers and are from Hushan County, Liaodong.
The elder brother's name is Liu Tong, and the younger brother's name is Liu Zhixing.
Liu Tong was proficient in civil and military affairs and was responsible for force.
Liu Zhixing is a scholar. These more than a hundred people were either slaves of the Liu family or brothers of their own clan. Inside the carriage were women, old and weak.
"Second brother. I don't think there is anything wrong with attacking the Meng Yuan people. But this man named Wu Nian was unknown before. Since the Meng Yuan people spread the plague, he has become famous. This time he killed four Mongolians. Captain Yuan Qian killed nearly five thousand Mongolian soldiers."
"I think it's an exaggeration. If he said he killed a thousand captains and beheaded a thousand people, I would have believed him."
Liu Tong held the horse's rein and looked up in the direction of Beishan Fort, saying sadly. Although he is the eldest brother, he is not as smart as his younger brother.
When the Mongolian people went south, he originally planned to leave via Shanhaiguan.
The younger brother asked him to wait. The road was chaotic and there was a high probability of something happening. It is better to wait for the situation to stabilize and then see how it goes.
really. The road from Liaodong to Shanhaiguan was really miserable.
Things are better now. The younger brother asked him to go north again, taking the whole clan with him to join Wu Nian in Beishan Fort.
Although he agreed, he felt guilty.
The closer you get to Beishan Fort, the more empty it becomes.
Special code. Can the Han people in Liaodong really kill four Mongolian and Yuan thousand captains and nearly five thousand Mongolian and Yuan soldiers?
