Xingzhou, in a luxurious mansion
Cai Shaojie of the Zhennan Army was leaning very comfortably on the Grand Master's chair, and behind him there was a little maid squeezing his shoulders, and two little maids beating his legs... ················
Since he led his troops to capture Xingzhou two days ago, Cai Shaojie was very considerate of the military and allowed the Zhennan Army officers to start a carnival in Xingzhou City. And he even set an example by occupying the mansion of the rich Li family in the city and started A life of sensuality!
However, Cai Shaojie's enjoyment did not last long. A messenger sent a letter.
"General! General Zhu Kangyuan has sent you a letter!"
Cai Shaojie, who was disturbed by the news, couldn't help but frown slightly. He and Zhu Kangyuan were colleagues in the analgesic army.
In this attack on Anqing, he was responsible for the direction of Xingzhou, while Zhu Kangyuan led his troops to be responsible for the direction of Xingshui. The distance between the two sides was about two hundred miles!
Originally, in Zhennan Army General Xu Hu's plan, Cai Shaojie and Zhu Kangyuan took care of each other, but Cai Shaojie didn't want to talk to Zhu Kangyuan at all!
The reason is very simple. The relationship between Cai Shaojie and Zhu Kangyuan is not good. Zhu Kangyuan recognized Xu Zhaojie's wife as his god sister. After this relationship, Zhu Kangyuan also rose through the ranks in the Zhennan Army... ·············
Moreover, this guy is also very lucky and has made several military exploits through bad luck. Therefore, he is becoming more and more arrogant in the Zhennan Army, and his mouth is even more arrogant. No one cares!
And he made fun of Cai Shaojie several times for making Cai Shaojie very embarrassed. This undoubtedly made Cai Shaojie very angry, but due to Zhu Kangyuan's strong background, he never dared to get angry!
So now that he heard Zhu Kangyuan's letter to him, Cai Shaojie instinctively had a bad premonition, but after hesitating for a moment, he still accepted the letter!
Cai Shaojie opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter. In the letter, Zhu Kangyuan enthusiastically congratulated Cai Shaojie on capturing Xingzhou City, achieving a major victory and winning a valuable start for the Zhennan Army!
After the congratulations, Zhu Kangyuan also expressed his views, saying that they fought very hard in Xingshui and were stubbornly blocked by the Fengwu Army. Moreover, they were also short of food and medicine in terms of logistics. Not to mention the seriously injured, now there are only minor injuries. We can only wait to die!
And now that you, Cai Shaojie, have captured Xingzhou and made a fortune, you must not forget about your brothers. Hurry up and send us a batch of grain, grass and medicine for urgent use. If you are late, see how I will deal with you!
To be honest, although Cai Shaojie doesn't like Zhu Kangyuan, after all, everyone is a colleague of the Zhennan Army. If the Zhennan Army falls, it will be difficult for everyone, so if Cai Shaojie is easy to talk to and discuss, Cai Shaojie will definitely help him... ····················
But seeing the tone in Zhu Kangyuan's letter, Cai Shaojie really didn't want to help him at all, but he also hesitated when he thought that Zhu Kangyuan was Mrs. Hou's godbrother!
Although it would be nice to not give Zhu Kangyuan food and medicine, it would be very difficult for him, Cai, if Zhu Kangyuan had an attack!
After all, Zhu Kangyuan has connections with the superiors. He is not as tough as Zhu Kangyuan in this regard. Moreover, Lord Xu Hu also told him before departure that he and Zhu Kangyuan's subordinates should take care of each other. Therefore, if this matter really goes to court, he will stand wherever Lord Xu Hu comes. Can't stop!
Thinking of this, Cai Shaojie thought about another possibility. Zhu Kangyuan's tone in the letter was so loud, it was probably intentional!
You see, he also said in his letter that they had a very difficult fight in Xingshui. They encountered a tenacious resistance from the Fengwu Army. Not only did they suffer heavy losses in troops and horses, but they also lacked food and medicine.
Under this situation, Cai Shaojie felt that it would be very difficult for Zhu Kangyuan to capture Xingshui according to the established plan. When Master Xu Hu gave the order, the man named Zhu patted his chest and assured Master Xu Hu that he would be able to capture Xingshui. , Master Xu Hu also praised him for this!
And now that the man named Zhu is in trouble, the superiors will definitely not let him off lightly, so the man named Zhu must be trying to find an excuse to exonerate himself!
And what excuse can we use to get away with it?
Thinking of this, Cai Shaojie once again read the letter Zhu Kangyuan wrote to him. Feeling the arrogant tone in Zhu Kangjie's words, Cai Shaojie's expression gradually became angry and hateful:
"You Zhu Kangyuan, you are so damn yin! You actually plotted against me..."
In Cai Shaojie's view, Zhu Kangyuan wrote to him asking for food and medicine, and he didn't really want these things. This guy's idea was probably to deliberately anger him!
Then when he is so angry that he really doesn't give him these things, he will have a reason to tell his superiors that he can't bring down the enemy because Cai Shaojie doesn't give me support, so he just rake the shit out of him and put the shit basin on himself!
The more Cai Shaojie thought about it, the more he felt that Zhu Kangyuan must have this idea, and he hated Zhu Kangyuan in his heart!
Because of the relationship behind your back, I usually tolerate you more, but now you fucking want to trick me. You, Zhu Kangyuan, are really bullying me!
Although he wanted to chop Zhu Kangyuan into pieces, Cai Shaojie, who had calmed down, realized helplessly that although he now knew Zhu Kangyuan's thoughts, he had no good way to deal with Zhu Kangyuan's damaging move!
In the letter, what Zhu Kangyuan wanted was obviously the lion's mouth. Not to mention that his soldiers and horses also needed food and medicine. Even if his soldiers and horses didn't leave any soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get what he needed in this Xingzhou city. s things!
Secondly, Zhu Kangyuan was in a hurry and asked himself to deliver it to him in three days. However, the distance alone was two hundred miles. Even if he traveled lightly and traveled two hundred miles in three days, it was not an easy task. Not to mention carrying so many things...
Therefore, Cai Shaojie was afraid that it would be difficult for him to fulfill Zhu Kangyuan's request. Cai Shaojie, who realized this, was also very frustrated. He knew that as long as Zhu Kangyuan failed to fulfill his request, he would definitely take the opportunity to slap the shit on him!
Just when Cai Shaojie was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, another messenger came in and said:
"Lord Xu Hu sent someone to deliver an order!"
Hearing this, Cai Shaojie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked the guards to welcome the person in. The person who came was a general from the Zhennan Army named Cao Dan, and Cai Shaojie was an old acquaintance.
Therefore, Cao Dan was not polite when he saw Cai Shaojie. He directly handed Xu Hu's order to Cai Shaojie, and then said anxiously:
"General Cai, Master Xu Hu's army is already marching towards Anqing City, but the army is currently blocked by Fengwu Army near Sanfeng Mountain!"
"After Mr. Xu Hu learned that your troops have captured Xingcheng, he immediately ordered your troops to move forward and attack Sanfeng Mountain from the enemy's flanks and rear!"
As soon as these words came out, Cai Shaojie suddenly had a plan in mind, but on the surface he still pretended to be very embarrassed and said:
"General Cao, General Zhu just sent me a letter saying that his side is fighting very hard and wants me to send troops to support him. What do you think I should do?"
When Cao Dan heard this, he thought Cai Shaojie wanted to refuse, and immediately said anxiously:
"Master Cai, this is an order personally given by Master Xu Hu. Please put it aside for the time being, General Zhu. Master Xu Hu has told you that your troops must arrive at the rear of Sanfeng Mountain within three days. , the military orders are overwhelming and cannot be discounted in any way!”
Cai Shaojie was waiting for Cao Dan's words, and he said decisively:
"Cao Shen, please rest assured. I, Mr. Cai, am willing to issue a military order and promise to arrive on the battlefield on time to cooperate with the main force... ········”

Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
Although the south is currently raging with war, there is still a peaceful atmosphere in Ye Mansion. At this time, in the back garden of Ye Mansion.
The Li Jia Troupe, one of the most famous opera troupes in Yijing, is performing on stage in the back garden of Ye Mansion. They are singing Yu Tang Chun, one of the famous opera pieces!
"My life experience has been too miserable since I was a child, and I spent my time selling jokes in a brothel. I fell in love with a married man, and we vowed to marry each other. What I hate is that the madam is greedy for money and uses poisonous tricks to marry me to a wealthy businessman!"
The person who plays the role of the famous prostitute Su Sanyi on the stage is Xiao Binghan, a famous actor in Yi Jing opera. It is said that this girl is an orphan adopted by Li Tao, the leader of the Li family class. She has great talent in opera. In addition, Li Tao has carefully cultivated her since she was a child. She is very talented. At just a few years old, he is already a famous actor in Yi Jing!
It is said that some time ago, Wang Heng, the son of the Wang family, a wealthy businessman in Yi Jing, offered three thousand taels of silver to have a romantic night with him, but in the end he was politely declined by Li Tao.
Wang Heng was originally reluctant to let go, but after learning that the Li family class was preparing to go to Ye Mansion to perform in an opera, he immediately stopped and did not dare to cause any further disturbance.
At this time, a group of women from the Ye family, headed by Mrs. Ye Cui, were listening to the opera in the audience. However, compared to Mrs. Ye Cui who was listening intently to the opera, the others seemed to have their own thoughts... ···············
An Miaoyi, who was sitting next to Ye Cui, seemed to be watching the play on the stage, but she gave people a feeling of being worried.
Jinyu, who was born as a maid next to Ye Cui, stood beside Ye Cui very considerately, fanning Ye Cui at one time, and passing a cake and a cup of tea to Ye Cui at another time.
Bai Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the back row, was already relatively plump, and her figure became much plumper after giving birth. It was midsummer, and women were very conservative, so Bai Yuanyuan seemed to be very afraid of the heat.
Although the maid on the side has been fanning Bai Yuanyuan, she is still in a dilemma because she is afraid that the loud wind will disturb Ye Cui's interest in watching the theater.
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat on her forehead, Bai Yuanyuan glanced around her, then she smiled softly from her cigarette holder:
"It turns out that Sister Shen has gone back, otherwise she would have to judge how well this little Binghan sings. She is an expert in this opera!"
When these words came out, several women had different expressions. On the surface, these words seemed to be nothing, but in fact everyone could hear that Bai Yuanyuan was mocking Shen Yutong for being an opera actor with a humble background... ···················
Everyone knew about the conflict between Bai Yuanyuan and Shen Yutong, so it was not surprising that Bai Yuanyuan made fun of her, and seeing that no one said anything, Bai Yuanyuan was even more proud!
At this moment, Ye Cui, who was sitting in the front row, coughed lightly. Although the cough was not loud, it was as loud as a bell in everyone's ears.
Bai Yuanyuan, who was very proud a second ago, immediately felt like a mouse seeing a cat. She didn't dare to make any mistakes. Even the maid who was fanning beside her didn't dare to let her fan anymore for fear of disturbing Ye Cui. Watch a play.
Although Mrs. Ye Cui is usually Buddhist and doesn't care much about the affairs of the house, no one dares to look down on this old man!
After finally holding on until Xiao Binghan finished singing, Bai Yuanyuan summoned up the courage to excuse herself to go back to take care of Jing Heng, and asked Ye Cui to resign and go back to her yard.
Mrs. Ye Cui herself despises Bai Yuanyuan. If it weren't for Ye Mingsheng's intention, she wouldn't have wanted Bai Yuanyuan to enter the house. Although the Bai family had given out people and money at her sixtieth birthday party, Ye Cui She really dislikes Bai Yuanyuan.
So since Bai Yuanyuan was leaving, Mrs. Ye Cui didn't even have the intention to stay, so Weiwei agreed for the first time, and then took a piece of pastry from Jinyu's hand and chewed it slowly... ···············
Although she had long been accustomed to the old lady looking down on her, Bai Yuanyuan still felt a little sad and aggrieved when she saw this, but in the end she left helplessly.
Compared to Bai Yuanyuan who was leaving, An Miaoyi was focusing on another thing at this time. She saw Qiqige standing in the distance and nodding towards her.
Although she had been mentally prepared, An Miaoyi couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw this, knowing that what was supposed to come would eventually come. Then she smiled and said to Ye Cui beside her:
"Mom! Mr. Gu is about to finish teaching Jingren. I want to go back and discuss Jingren's studies with Mr. Gu!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Cui also smiled and nodded and said:
"Then Miaoyi, please go back quickly! Jingren, like Mingsheng, was the most naughty when he was young. When I asked Mingsheng to study before, he didn't listen at all. Now Jingren's studies all depend on you, Miaoyi!"
An Miaoyi smiled and said:
"Mom, my husband has great ambitions, and they can't be restrained by books!"
Ye Cui was in a good mood after hearing this and said with a smile:
"Miaoyi, you know how to speak good words for Mingsheng!"
"But you are right. When I sent him to Zhaowuying, I just wanted Zhaowuying to discipline him well and find a good future for him. Who could have imagined that he could have such great abilities and achieve such great things? cause························"
