At this time, in Sanhe County, people seeking information came and went from all walks of life. The originally peaceful and peaceful Sanhe County seemed to have become a military town.
In the past, we had to guard against the north, so the state capital was naturally located further north.
Now it's mainly in the south, and Sanhe County's location is just right.
"Judging from the situation reported from Dongzhou, the generals probably have no time to take care of it. They are currently in a violent civil strife, and this man Wen Fuli is also moving very quickly."
"In this way, there is no need for our people to continue training within Dongzhou. With us, we will only allow a few of their generals to unite."
"Send an order for everyone to disperse and evacuate, pretend to be bandits, and go to Jeju to harass them. Tell them that there is no need to worry and let me fight!"
"He Wen Fuli wants to take advantage of both inside and outside. Does he really think that we in Hezhou are blind?"
Ma Yan'er said coldly to the people below.
Since Zhang Bao left, Ma Yaner has taken Zhang Bao's place and managed everything secretly.
For Ma Yan'er, her understanding of all the forces in Daxia is no less than Zhang Bao's, and her adjustments in all aspects are based on Zhang Bao's nature.
Some time ago, although the scattered troops Zhang Bao sent to Dongzhou were not tied together and fought independently, even so, Dongzhou was almost beaten into a sieve.
The main reason is that after Yang Gan died, several generals under his command had no time to take care of these people in Hezhou in order to compete for the position of state pastor.
One county and three counties have been captured by the troops of Hezhou, but if this continues, the generals are likely to join forces to deal with them first, which will be troublesome then.
The purpose of Zhang Bao's sending troops was not to capture Dongzhou, but to train troops.
So Ma Yaner immediately asked these people to move to Jeju.
Jeju Wen Fuli was duplicitous. After receiving Cao Kang's secret letter, he thought that with Cao Kang's support, he gradually became more aggressive towards Dongzhou and was no longer satisfied with his actions in secret.
Many troops have also been quietly dispatched.
Naturally, Ma Yaner couldn't spoil him.
"Tell Wu Dayong not to advance rashly and make full use of the river divisions in Nanxiang County to hold back the people of Shaanzhou. What they have to do now is not to annihilate the enemy, but to delay time!"
"The longer this war lasts, the better, and the more people involved, the better!"
"Wu Dayong dares to act privately, and he must engage in military law!"
Ma Yaner gave another order.
Now Shaanzhou has more than 100,000 troops, under the leadership of Ma Yaohan, launching a comprehensive attack on Hezhou.
But he was trapped in Nanxiang County, unable to move even an inch.
Previously, Zhang Bao had asked people to dig canals in Nanxiang County and connect some rivers into a network. Coupled with abundant rain in summer, the water levels of various rivers have risen.
After destroying all the stone bridges and wooden bridges, the most common thing Liaozhou troops did since they entered Nanxiang County was to cut down trees and build bridges.
But this bridge is not that easy to build, especially for some relatively wide rivers. It is difficult to build a bridge. Archers will appear on the opposite side from time to time, specifically targeting the people who built the bridge.
What's more, they even moved the catapult to the opposite side and bombed them randomly, causing Ma Yaohan to vomit blood.
They originally thought that their hundreds of thousands of troops could march unimpeded, but unexpectedly they were blocked by some rivers. Their men and horses basically didn't understand the nature of water. They wanted to build boats to cross the rivers, but under the rapid currents, they almost couldn't do it once. success.
Moreover, it is basically impossible to transport these hundreds of thousands of people by ship.
Ma Yaohan and the others were trapped like this.
While thinking of ways to build a bridge, they were thinking of digging soil to fill in the canals, and at the same time they were also preparing for sneak attacks from Hezhou people and horses from time to time, which made Ma Yaohan and the others miserable.
But Zhang Bao's previous attempt to gather people from several states to attack Grand Sima Cao Kang did not go so smoothly.
So far, there has been no state response at all.
Liaozhou Fu Mingli wanted to send troops, but the grassland has been quite unstable recently.
It seems that the state pastors in several states are also watching, and they still have some doubts about Cao Kang's imprisoning the emperor.
After finally processing all the recent news and making adjustments accordingly, Ma Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
When Ma Yaner took over Zhang Bao's position, she realized how much pressure Zhang Bao was under.
Now we are in such a whirlpool. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't take the initiative to do things, you will be eaten by others in the future. That's why Zhang Bao can't stop.
Moreover, every order issued by Zhang Bao involves the life and death of many people.
Every decision must be made carefully.
Even Ma Yan'er just managed to hold on, but she still didn't feel that it was perfect.
"Sister, why are you here?"
As soon as Ma Yan'er got up and moved around, she saw Su Xiaoyue walking in carrying a food box.
"You're so busy that you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"I asked Mrs. Li to cook you some of your favorite dishes. Come on, eat them while they're hot."
Su Xiaoyue said to Ma Yan'er with a smile.
After Zhang Bao left, Su Xiaoyue couldn't help much with these matters, but she still tried her best to help Zhang Bao manage the affairs of Sanhe County.
"Well, if my sister hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten."
"Sister, sit down."
Ma Yaner said to Su Xiaoyue with a smile.
"Yan'er, it seems to me lately...that one hasn't come..."
Su Xiaoyue sat aside and whispered to Ma Yan'er in a lowered voice.
"ah?"
"Sister, you don't have it, do you?"
"Before my husband leaves, you are all here... maybe that's the time. Congratulations, sister. Besides, it's been so long. If my sister hadn't done it yet, I'd have to wonder if there's something wrong with our husband..."
Ma Yaner said with surprise on her face.
Su Xiaoyue also blushed.
"Are you still talking about me? It's not the same when you're in bed?"
"Last time the three of us were together, you followed my husband and played tricks on me, which killed you all..."
Su Xiaoyue felt a little embarrassed and scratched Ma Yan'er.
"Sister, have mercy on me, sister, have mercy on me."
"You can't toss your body now. You should have a good rest and give your husband a surprise when he comes back."
Ma Yaner kept begging for mercy. Now that Su Xiaoyue was pregnant, she naturally did not dare to fight back.
"Um……"
"I feel like vomiting recently and I have no appetite for food. I'm afraid that I'm weak. What if-"
"Sister, don't think too much, it's okay."
"Waiting to give birth to a big fat boy for my husband, I don't know how successful he will be."
Before Su Xiaoyue could finish speaking, Ma Yaner quickly interrupted.
"But I'm...scared..."
"I heard that it hurts when a woman gives birth..."
Su Xiaoyue whispered that although she was Mrs. Zhou Mu and an important lady, she still regarded Ma Yan'er as her good sister in this matter.
After all, Ma Yaner is the only one who can talk about this in Yueyan Restaurant.
Xiaocui is too young. As for Sister-in-law Li, Su Xiaoyue had asked before. Sister-in-law Li laughed, what's the problem? The last time I gave birth to dog eggs, I was on the way up the mountain to chop firewood. I accidentally squatted down to hold the firewood, pushed hard, and made a little noise, and the dog eggs came out.
But Su Xiaoyue looked at Sister-in-law Li's big moon that could hold three of her own, swallowed her saliva and stopped asking any more questions.
The situation should be different...
