Chapter 499: Jishi City After the War

Mrs. Lu cried blood, but Gao Yuan lowered his head and felt mixed feelings in his heart.

"What's wrong, Gao Yuan, are you in trouble? Yes, you have been fighting for such a long time, and your men must have suffered serious losses. At this time, I also ask you to send someone to escort me all the way to Chao'er. It's really... It's a bit unreasonable, but Gaoyuan, I really can't stay here any longer." Mrs. Lu burst into tears.

"No, no, it's not because of this!" Gao Yuan shook his head in a panic, "Aunt, that's not the case. Don't worry. Wherever you want to go to Brother Lu Chao, I will naturally send someone to escort you there. You can rest assured about this. "

"Then I'll thank you first." Mrs. Lu said forcefully.

"Auntie, it's a long way from here to Brother Lu Chao, and you're in a hurry to leave. It's freezing cold at this time of year. If you really want to leave, you have to take good care of yourself. Like you Now like this, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll fall down if I get to that big brother. So please make sure to take good care of yourself during this period."

"Don't worry, I saved this. Poor Uncle Lu, I haven't seen your eldest brother for almost five years. I will definitely live well and look after your eldest brother Lu Chao for your Aunt Lu." , Mrs. Lu burst into tears again.

"Auntie, just now you said you should take care of yourself and take good care of yourself, why are you crying again!" Gao Yuan said uneasily.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Mrs. Lu nodded and wiped away her tears, "I still have you, and your eldest brother. Your uncle sees that each of you is more promising than the other now, even under Jiuquan. Captain Hoi An."

Gao Yuan stood up and said, "Auntie, please take good care of yourself during this time. If you need anything, ask Butler Lu Bin to find me. If I'm not here, ask the infantry or Cao Tianci. You and Butler Lu also know them both." "

The infantrymen and Cao Tianci took a step forward and bowed.

Mrs. Lu nodded slightly.

Gao Yuan took a step back and said, "Auntie, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Go and do your work. I'm here. Don't worry."

"Auntie, take care!" Gao Yuan saluted Mrs. Lu again, turned around, and left Mrs. Lu's room as if he was running away in a hurry.

Seeing Gao Yuan's hurried footsteps, the infantrymen and Cao Tianci looked at each other in surprise and quickly followed.

Gao Yuan walked quickly, Lu Bin's two old cold legs,

He couldn't catch up there, so he could only watch Gao Yuan disappear at the gate of Lu Mansion for a while, and soon he heard the rapid sound of riding hooves.

When Cao Tianci and his infantry caught up with Gao Yuan, they saw him riding his horse and standing at the corner of the street, looking at the wall in front of him. What was blocked by that wall was what he was looking at. The vision of that big house.

"General, what's wrong with you?" the infantryman asked in a low voice.

Gao Yuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice, which surprised both the infantryman and Cao Tianci.

"General, what's wrong with you?"

"General, what are you doing?"

Gao Yuan took a long breath, "I am less and less like a fucking person now, I am just a bastard. Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu have always looked at me like a son and raised me, now , but I want to use them and plot against them, infantry, a gift from heaven, do you think I am still a person?"

The infantryman was silent for a moment, "General, you are not doing this for yourself. As the old saying goes, people cannot help themselves in the world. If you want the tens of thousands of people under your command to live well and live peacefully, some Even if something goes against your conscience, you still have to do it. You may be sorry for General Lu's family, but you will be sorry for the millions of people in western Liaoning."

Sighing: "Godsend, Aunt Lu went to Tiannan County to find out about Lu Chao. You should do the preliminary work first. I will go back in two days. You can put off Auntie's schedule and wait for my news. , but don’t let Auntie know what’s wrong.”

Cao Tianci nodded, "I understand, General. I will accompany Mrs. Lu on her journey after I get the news from you."

"That's it. Let's meet up again when we get to Jishi City. When there, all the preparations that need to be done are almost ready." Gao Yuan reined in his horse and walked forward slowly. Cao Tianci and the infantry wanted to Gao Yuan followed, but turned around and said, "Stay away from me, I want to walk alone."

A few days later, in the midst of a storm, Zheng Jun, the former magistrate of Fufeng County, rushed to Liaoxi City. He would take up the post of Liaoxi County Magistrate Shi, responsible for civil affairs, while Ye Zhong would serve as the garrison general of Liaoxi City, responsible for military affairs. Yiwu then joined the team, while the officials below him were doing their own duties for the time being. It was the business of Zheng Jun and Ye Zhong to straighten out the entire Liaoxi County. Gao Yuan, who held the post of governor of Liaoxi Province, left Liaoxi City on the day Zheng Jun entered the city. The infantry and the cavalry commanded by He Lanxiong also left immediately. The remaining military forces in Liaoxi City followed Zheng Jun to Liaoxi City. A thousand troops. This is the capital Gao Yuan gave Ye Zhong. Based on this thousand troops, he will reorganize the 20,000 county soldiers in the city, eliminate the bad and retain the best, and strengthen training. Of course, in line with Gao Yuan's practice of running the army, Tie Xuan and Ding Wei, these two generals who came from distant backgrounds to lead personal guards, came to Liaoxi City this time as commanders of these two battalions of infantry. From now on, they will fight under Ye Zhong's command.

Ye Zhen sent his troops from Jishi City into Hejian County. Tang Ming and Wang Yi, two young generals who had stayed in Hejian County for a long time, had lost their way. When the army passed Baokang and entered Yingkou, , Hejian County Governor Yan Shenghao's heart was a bit colder than this bone-chilling winter.

The only infantry that should be stationed in the Niulanshan camp to guard against Donghu's invasion, He Lanxiong's cavalry team did not reach Fufeng, but returned to Jishi City. In the huge Niulanshan camp, only Meng Chong led the three thousand infantry. The soldiers were stationed, but Bai Yucheng's scout camp, which had been in Jishi City, disappeared without a trace this winter. Except for a very few people, no one knew where they had gone.

In the stormy sky, Gao Yuan and Jiang Jiaquan walked side by side on the road covered by thick snow. Although they were still on the road, as the two of them discussed, military orders were carried by messengers one by one, and they galloped in all directions.

The Eastern Conquest Army, which had just returned from the battlefield of Donghu and defeated Tan Feng and Zhou Yu's standing army, forcing them to sign an alliance under the city, started their new journey without any pause. They received military orders one by one and rushed to different purposes. The generals did not know that what their supreme leader was planning at this time was related to whether they could develop safely on their territory in the next few years.

Because of the raging wind and snow and the galloping horses, it only took a few days to reach Jishi City from Fufeng. However, Gao Yuan and Jiang Jiaquan and his party had to walk for nearly ten days. After the hard journey, Gao Yuan was physically strong and could not reach Jishi City. But they couldn't bear it. When they stepped into the gate of Jishi City, Gao Yuan shook off the snow all over his body. He was still in high spirits and seemed like a normal person, but the old Jiang family Quan couldn't do it anymore. He was tired. His attitude was fully displayed, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"General Gao, I can't stand it anymore, so I have to go back and sleep with him for a day and a night." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile and handed over to Gao Yuan.

"Chang Shi has worked hard. Chang Shi can rest as much as possible. Wu Kai has now handed over the business to his two sons and concentrated on being an official, but he has also done a decent job. I think he manages this Jishi City very well. Okay!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"He is a person who, if he concentrates on doing something, has a strong determination to do it to the best of his ability. Moreover, Mr. Wu is a good businessman. If he uses his business skills as an official, he will also be able to do his best. There is no gain without success. Now everyone in Jishi City's city guard's office is very convinced of him, and they are as happy as they wish." Jiang Jiaquan also did not hesitate to praise Wu Kai.

Now it is winter, the traditional cat winter day. The herdsmen have stored enough fodder for their livestock so that they do not need to graze. The fields are covered with heavy snow and the farmers have no way to cultivate. Jishi City, which should have been calm, is now in the heat. It was bustling, because the city construction work that was unexpectedly interrupted because of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu's attack began again with great vigor. In the city, houses and roads were being built at an extremely fast speed.

The various workshops that were first built had thick smoke rising from their chimneys. Although the wind was strong, it was still unable to blow away the continuously rising thick smoke.

You can get paid for doing odd jobs in the city, and you can get paid for working as a part-time worker in a workshop. At worst, you can get two meals a day, one thin and one dry, with meat every other day. This winter, none of the men in Jishi City hid in their homes bragging, drinking and sleeping on the bed. Instead, they worked hard with all their energy. Who doesn’t want to earn more money and have a good year? !Especially after this war, those who survived cherished the life in front of them even more.

Even the women are not idle. The milk accumulated at home needs to be made into cheese and dried milk. If these things are used in endlessly, the Eastern Expeditionary Army will also buy them. They are easy to carry, high in calories and nutritious. These things have now become necessary military supplies for the Eastern Army. Women in the Central Plains who do not have this skill do have a pair of skillful hands. They buy wool from the herdsmen, set up spinning wheels, spin and weave cloth, and the city's first Such a workshop was actually set up by the dignified general's wife Ye Jing'er herself. Every day Ye Jing'er would bring her personal maids to the workshop to spin yarn with the recruited women.

If the previous general's wife Ye Jing'er was only limited to the legendary love story between him and General Gao Yuan to all the people of Jishi City, but after that night of bloody battle, the one who was on the tower, waving the thin The woman in white with both arms beating the war drum vigorously is now vivid in the hearts of the people of Jishi City. Many of the women who are working with her now followed Ye Jing'er through the city that night and fought, maybe They just threw a stone or shouted a few times, but it was enough to make them feel extremely proud.

Gao Yuan, who had just returned, was naturally not aware of Ye Jing'er's changes, so when she saw Ye Jing'er who had hurried back from the workshop after getting the news, and saw that her dress was covered with fine pieces of wool, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Silly.rs
