A battle last night.
Wu Nian made a sneak attack. The soldiers of Chengshan Fort suffered very few casualties. In this way, military households will not have any grudge against him.
With the help of these veteran military households to stabilize people's hearts, Chengshan Fort can quickly stabilize.
After Wu Nian achieved his goal, he let these old military households go down. As a result, the four of them were left in the main room.
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Long Qie, Cao Ding, and Ma Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Although Chengshan Fort is stable, you can't take it lightly."
"Repairing the city walls, training elite soldiers, and the people in the castle must all be used. Cutting down trees to make bows and arrows, forging weapons, etc."
"When the snow melts, the Meng Yuan people will definitely come back. We don't have much time."
"yes."
When the three of them heard this, they immediately let go of their relaxation and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction. Again. An arrogant soldier will be defeated. Now the force of General Fu Han is only a little stronger, but in essence it is still in its twilight years. If you are not careful, you will not be able to come up in one breath and die.
Don't take it lightly.
Wu Nian also took care of the general direction, and Long Qie, Ma Zheng, and Cao Ding naturally took care of the rest of the details.
He stayed in Chengshan Fort for three days. Then he took more than a hundred armored soldiers and embarked on the road back to Beishan Fort.
After returning to Beishan Fort, Wu Nian seemed to be waiting for something to happen, staying at home, practicing martial arts every day, and basically not going out much.
Chen's delivery is just in these few days. Wu Nian, a man of two generations, was a little nervous when he became a father for the first time.
This morning.
Wu Nian had done a set of boxing skills in the yard, and was planning to continue his efforts with a set of sword skills.
With the arrival of spring, the temperature is getting higher and higher. A lot of the snow covering the mountains and plains has melted away. Wu Nian is strong and not afraid of the cold. He has already changed into spring clothes.
"General. Liu Changshi, please come over." A soldier came in from outside and bent down to report to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian was a little surprised. Ever since Liu Zhixing and Li Yong came together, everything was on track. In particular, he was very decentralized and gave the two of them full trust and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
It has been a long time since Liu Zhixing sent someone to look for him.
"Yes." Wu Nian's expression became serious. After nodding, he went back to the house and changed into a battle coat. Then he took his soldiers and headed to the Fuhan General's Mansion.
At present, there are about 20,000 people in Beishan Fort, which is quite crowded. When Wu Nian goes out, he will meet many people. When these people see Wu Nian, they all bend down and salute.
It's like paying homage to a king.
Wu Nian is not drifting and keeps a calm mind. After entering General Fuhan's mansion, Wu Nian immediately went to the main room.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong had been waiting for a long time, sitting on the left and right on the Grand Master's chair. Seeing Wu Nian coming in, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted: "General."
"We are all brothers, no need to be polite." Wu Nian was still very kind in private, as he was in the world. After waving his hands, he came to the main seat and sat down. He raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This is the household register."
"The storage status of grain, grass, arrows and other materials in each city."
A smile appeared on Liu Zhixing's face, he picked up the two pamphlets on the coffee table, stood up, walked to Wu Nian, and handed them over.
Wu Nian showed interest, reached out to take it, and looked down.
Prior to this, Wu Nian planned seven thousand troops to guard four castles respectively. But regarding the population, food, grass, and supplies of his subordinates, he looked down upon them.
The power is really unstable and there is no time to calculate.
After these days of hard work, the population and material situation of the four castles were finally calculated.
The population list clearly states that the total population is 78,562 adult men and women. And it's tentative, because there are still people coming to seek refuge.
That is to say, the population under the rule of General Fu Han is still growing slowly.
This is the population within the four castles. In the area outside the castle, the population of several mountain villages has not been recorded.
no way. After all, Wu Nian was not a serious official in the imperial court. For the time being, he could only cooperate with these mountain villages and collect some grain and grass.
As for food, grass and baggage, it was entrusted to him to attack Guangyang Mansion and capture two cities. In addition, Chengshan Fort and Tiancheng Fort also have grain reserves. At present, the grain and grass in various places are quite sufficient, so there is no problem.
Wu Nian looked at it page by page, looking at it very seriously. Finally, he closed the book and said to Liu Zhixing and Li Yong with a smile: "Okay. Our goal has been achieved. Although our strength is still very weak, less than one percent of the Meng Yuan people. But it is better than before. much better."
"The problem now is to further expand our power while stabilizing the strength we have now."
"The snow is about to melt. The Meng Yuan people will definitely come back." When he said the last sentence, Wu Nian's expression became solemn.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing and Li Yong also looked solemn and raised their hands together.
The two of them had nothing else to do, so Wu Nian waved his hand and let them go off to work. The power is only initially stable, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
However, Wu Nian did not leave the Fuhan General's Mansion. Instead, he sent someone to find the Flying Monkey Chen Jiagui and inquired about the intelligence work he was responsible for.
The main thing is to keep an eye on the surrounding generals Jin Huanshan, Wanyanxian, and Zhang Bu of the Mongolian people to see when they will launch an attack.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Intelligence collection is a top priority.
This aspect is what Chen Jiagui is good at, and he does an extremely good job. A large number of informants are deployed in Guangyang Mansion and Yingqing Mansion.
If there is any disturbance, the information will be gathered at Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian was very satisfied with this. After praising Chen Jiagui, he got up and left the Fuhan General's Mansion, returned to the Wu Mansion, and continued to hang around.
He is like a tiger guarding his den, waiting for his cubs to be born.
Due to medical limitations, there is no definite due date.
Wu Nian could only do this and wait, and continued to suffer from insomnia.
Like this morning. After Wu Nian opened his eyes, the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
"Another sleepless day." Wu Nian sighed, shook his heavy head, and sat up listlessly.
Thanks to his strong body and high energy, he was not defeated despite continuous insomnia.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang slept together. He couldn't sleep, and neither could Liu Xiang. She put on her clothes and stood up, went down to get hot water, and helped Wu Nian wash up.
Although she is now an official's wife, she takes care of Wu Nian's food and daily life, and does her best to do it herself if she can.
Wu Nian had just finished washing his face and planned to have breakfast.
A maid hurriedly rushed in and reported: "Master, Madam is about to give birth!!!"
"Ah?!" Wu Nian's heart finally fell. Oh my god, I’m finally giving birth. But then his heart tightened, and he quickly threw away the cloth in his hand and rushed out of the room as fast as he could.
My baby is about to be born.
son? daughter?
My daughter is very good, little cotton-padded jacket.
But my son seems pretty good too.
