All Hail Cousin Brother

Only this time.

Looking at her Jingchai cloth skirt, I couldn't help but think of a true hermit named Liang Hong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After studying at the Imperial Academy, he returned home to work in farming and married Meng Guang, the daughter of the rich man Meng from the county.

After the marriage, Meng Guang abandoned the Meng family's fine clothes and food, and went to live in seclusion with her husband in the Baling Mountains.

Meng Guang used thorn twigs as a hairpin, wore coarse cloth clothes, and Liang Hong raised eyebrows, and they were in love for a lifetime. The story of "Jingchai cloth skirt" has been passed down for thousands of generations.

He could almost imagine the loving life of a husband and wife after marriage through her simple and busy figure.

A sudden desire emerged in my heart.

I want to hold her in my arms and possess her completely.

Seeing her waist bent backwards, her slender waist was as soft as cattail grass, and her slender figure was extremely graceful.

During the filial piety period, Aunt Xu was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, so she asked her to eat small meals frequently every day. She was also given all kinds of expensive medicinal porridge and supplements, but no matter how much she ate, it didn't matter if she didn't grow taller. , Even the flesh is not long, but the body is getting longer and thinner.

At this moment, he finally realized that all the food she ate had been supplemented elsewhere, and the flesh had grown to where it should be.

It's inevitable that something will get out of control.

However, he didn't dare to go too far. He held her in his arms as if he was self-abuse. He couldn't bear to wrong her, but he couldn't bear to let her go. I was bullied severely.

Yin Huaixi baked two dry buns, stuffed some green vegetables and mushrooms and handed them to her: "Although the dry buns made from sorghum noodles are not as fine as flour, they warm the spleen, strengthen the stomach and intestines, and stop vomiting and diarrhea. Eating it occasionally is good for the spleen and stomach."

"No wonder sorghum is listed as marching food." Yu Youyao only eats fine grains for snacks, and has never eaten sorghum noodles.

The north is rich in sorghum and corn, and sorghum is also one of the staple foods.

Most of the dry food for the soldiers was ground into flour from corn and sorghum, mixed into flour, and made into dry buns. The dry buns were dry and hard, light, easy to carry, and full of food.

However, there was a shortage of supplies in the north, and the dry steamed buns eaten by the soldiers were not entirely made of sorghum noodles. Instead, they were mixed with bran. They were made from sorghum poles, ground into powder, and added to the steamed buns.

"Let me try it." Yu Youyao took the steamed bun and took a bite. The sorghum steamed bun was crispy and had no special taste. The texture was a bit rough, which made her throat ache. After chewing it a few more times, it brought back a slight sweetness. It's delicious and not too bad.

The dry steamed bun is obviously not very delicious, but it is paired with smooth and fragrant mushrooms. Take a bite and it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juice of the mushrooms soaks into the crispy dry steamed bun, giving it a mellow taste and fresh fragrance. It's greasy and has endless aftertaste.

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up: "It's delicious, they are like," she didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"It seems like they were born to match each other like this," Yin Huaixi guessed right away, what she meant: "Rougamo is the perfect match. There are many ways to make it, each with its own unique flavor. When you pass the filial piety period, I will take you Go to Xi’an to eat authentic Roujiamo.”

The mushrooms are tender and fragrant, with a bit of meaty texture, so the mushroom-filled buns are particularly fragrant and delicious when eaten.

Yu Youyao was looking forward to it and couldn't help but smile and curl her lips: "That's it."

Yin Huaixi smiled, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Yu Youyao liked delicious food, and he used eating to divert her attention, which worked every time.

To sum it up in one sentence: There’s nothing that a good meal can’t fix.

If so, then have two!

Yu Youyao thought about the situation in Quanzhou: "I heard that the imperial army's army to attack Liang already numbered more than 200,000 people. Is it possible..."

"It's impossible," Yin Huaixi knew what she meant: "The army of Liang will be defeated."

Two hundred thousand against one hundred thousand, there is still no doubt that they will be defeated. The army carefully cultivated by the imperial court and known as the most elite army in the Zhou Dynasty is so vulnerable in Yin Huaixi's eyes.

Yin Huaixi explained: "How can a domestic guard dog compare to a wild dog roaming in the mountains and forests?!"

Yu Youyao couldn't help but choke.

Yin Huaixi asked someone to get a map, spread it on the table, and pointed to the location of Quanzhou: "Fujian is on the southeast coast, a heavy trade and taxation area. A lot of troops have been deployed in various cities, including Yamen, coastal defense stations, and city defenses. , totaling up to 70,000 to 80,000 people, equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment."

"The King of Liang has captured Fujian. After the army rests in Quanzhou, he will definitely use the Fujian troops for his own use. The strength of the Liang army will increase significantly."

An ordinary city has a defensive garrison of about five thousand to tens of thousands of people. Some military cities will have more. Fujian is a special zone.

This was also an important reason why King Liang insisted on taking Quanzhou.

Then, Yin Huaixi pointed to Jiangxi again: "The army to conquer Liang will arrive in Henan soon. The destination is Xiangyang, Hubei. The next step for King Liang is Jiangxi. After taking Jiangxi, the vanguard will take the lead in entering Xiangyang, Hubei." In this area, the two sides will start a war."

Yu Youyao immediately understood that Xiangyang, Hubei Province, is located at the intersection of the north and south of the Central Plains. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists.

For the imperial court in the north, it controlled Xiangyang, entered Jingzhou and Wuhan, and then controlled the Yangtze River defense line to lock the Liang Army's offensive to the north and prevent it from advancing even an inch.

For the King of Liang, who raised troops from the south, by controlling Xiangyang, he could maintain his offensive against the north and form a huge deterrent to the court.

Xiangyang is also an important place for raising troops. It is surrounded by water on three sides, the Han River plain, and the land is fertile. It is a self-sufficient place.

As long as the King of Liang captures Xiangyang, half of the battle will be won.

The imperial court and the King of Liang both competed for Xiangyang.

Judging from the current situation, the Liang army will soon enter Henan from Rehe, and then enter Hubei from Henan, which has a considerable advantage.

On the other hand, King Liang had to capture Jiangxi before he could pass through Jiangxi and enter Hubei. He seemed to be one step behind, but King Liang led a tiger and wolf army, which should not be underestimated.

Yu Youyao suddenly asked: "If King Liang takes Jingzhao, will you send troops to attack him?"

"No," Yin Huaixi said in a calm voice, "I will not send troops before other vassal kings."

Yu Youyao's suspicion was confirmed.

There's going to be a war in the north.

The drought in the north has lasted for three years. Even the fertile Shanshan and Shaanxi areas have been affected. It is almost impossible to grow food. People have fled their hometowns, let alone the Di people. !

In the past three years, wars of all sizes in the northern border have not stopped.

The Di people's supplies have reached their limit.

And Yin Huaixi, for the past three years, has endured Di Ren coming to harass you from time to time, just like lice on the body, jumping out from time to time to suck your blood. Although it does not hurt your muscles and bones, it is very boring, and after thinking about it, you have reached the limit of your patience. .

This time, both sides will go to war.
