Liu Yuan brought a pot of wine, brought a plate of roast chicken, looked at the companions who were yelling and slapped in the room, smiled slightly, closed the door, and walked out.

Outside the barracks, under a big tree, Ge Cai leaned against the tree and was tearing a white flour bun to eat one by one.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Yuan walked over and handed the wine to Ge Cai.

Ge Cai glanced at him, took the wine pot, and said, "This Baoying City is also quite prosperous, not much worse than our Wuyi."

"This is Yangzhou!" Liu Yuan said with a smile, but suddenly reacted: "Are you from Wuyi?"

Ge Cai smiled slightly, raised his neck and drank a big sip of wine, but pushed the roast chicken handed over by Liu Yuan: "I can't eat this anymore. If you eat it again, no one will ask for it in the future."

Liu Yuan laughed, teared a chicken leg and took a big bite, took the wine pot from Ge Cai, and took a sip himself, "To be honest, now you are eating the fine wine and roasted chicken, but you are still thinking about your mixed noodles pancakes. Do you think you are a bit useless?"

Ge Cai rolled his eyes, "Even if you want to eat now, I have no time to make it."

"Then let's talk about it when you have time in the future!" Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I've eaten your mixed noodles pancake for two years and it's really good to eat. To be honest, I really didn't expect that you and me are the same person. No, no, your title is higher than mine."

Ge Cai glanced at him and said, "I came from Wuyi, and it is not surprising that I have higher rank than you."

"Which unit did you have in the past? It wasn't from the Right Qianniu Guard, right?" Liu Yuan said in surprise: "There are many female officers under General Liu. If you have such a strong backer, why do you come here to do?"

"I'm not with my wife, I used to follow my eldest sister." Ge Cai shook his head.

"Sister? Who is it? Why haven't you heard of it?" Liu Yuan widened his eyes. Ge Cai was the Captain Zhaowu, and her boss, at least, was the general.

"Oh, my elder sister is Li Mi. Now I am the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple." Ge Cai said: "When I was in Daqingshan, I was with my elder sister, and I have been following her since then."

"So it's her?" Liu Yuan suddenly realized, "Your backer is hard enough, why are you here?"

Ge Cai sighed and said, "I had many sisters in the dangerous swallow back then. I ate them since I was a child, but I got fatter and I was often ridiculed and bullied by others. That is, my elder sister protected me. Those sisters learned a lot, such as chess, piano, calligraphy, painting, acupuncture and medicine. I can't learn anything, and I can't eat anything left, and I only have one piece of strength left."

Liu Yuan burst out laughing.

"What's ridiculous?" Ge Cai glared at her.

"Two years ago, my eldest sister married Cao Zhang. I have to follow my eldest sister for the rest of my life. In Wuyi, people with my status as me have very few opportunities to fight. In fact, even if I go to another army, I am unlikely to let me lead the army. As soon as there is such an opportunity, I beg my eldest sister to let me come over." Ge Cai said. "I must become a general who stands alone, just like my eldest sister and my wife, can you still laugh at those who laughed at me?"

"It seems you were so angry at the beginning?" Liu Yuan said thoughtfully.

"A female officer is difficult to gain a foothold in the army. In addition, I look like this, so I am naturally even less popular." Ge Cai said: "I can't go to complain to my elder sister after being bullied, right? I can't just fight with others after being bullied, right?"

"No wonder you are so fierce?" Liu Yuan laughed: "When you come to Baoying, Qin Crazi was beaten up by you. Are you establishing your authority?"

"What's the solution?" Ge Cai said: "There is a war now, and it's an extremely dangerous battle. To make these people crawl out of the fire in the blood subjugate me, you can only rely on your fists. Otherwise, how can I, a woman, suppress them? A fierce female yaksha is naturally good for them."

Liu Yuan couldn't help laughing again.

"Then why don't you look for me?"

"I guess I'll lose if I fight you!" Ge Cai did not hide it.

"I can lose to you on purpose." Liu Yuan said: "Even if you pay the kindness of adding meat slices to the mixed bread you often give me."

Ge Cai snorted, "After all the time, don't you still look down on me?"

Liu Yuan was stagnant, but he couldn't continue to say anything.

"It's okay!" Ge Cai smiled loudly: "I just like you. If you don't like me, then there's nothing left. You can pick it up and put it down. In the future, we will still cut our heads in exchange for an angry brother! Tell me, why did you come here?"

"I am a member of Yixing!" Liu Yuanyi raised his neck and took a big sip of wine, "I will go wherever there is a need."

Ge Cai looked at him for a while before saying, "You are a real man. Which army did you serve in before?"

"Left Xiaowei." Liu Yuandao.

"What happened to Zuo Xiaowei!" Ge Cai said: "Do you know? General Qin Xinming told me."

Liu Yuan shook his head.

"It's a coincidence that this time the person who came to coordinate and command was also Zuo Xiaowei, and the person who was responsible was Li Hao and Li Zhonglang. The leader of our land troops, named Ren Xiaonian, nicknamed Ren Dagou, was also Zuo Xiaowei."

"Ren Dagou?" Liu Yuan was stunned: "I recognize him. I have worked together in battle before."

"He is a general now, don't you regret it?" Ge Cai asked, "If you stay in the army without delaying these few years, you might be the general."

"I will definitely be a general in the future." Liu Yuan smiled: "Sooner or later, what's there to regret."

"Are you embarrassed to see Ren Xiaonian? You used to be a colleague, but now you are your boss's boss!"

"He can become a general, but he has his life back. What's the embarrassment?" Liu Yuan didn't care: "There is still a battle to fight. Maybe I will come first in the future."

"I think you can do it!" Ge Cai snatched the roast chicken from Liu Yuan's hand and took a big bite.

"Don't you not eat?" Liu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Anyway, you don't want me, so don't care what I do!" Ge Cai waved his fist at Liu Yuan: "I'm full, I'll go to train those sluts tomorrow."

"Forget it, during the New Year, these local soldiers are like this. They can't even practice any more." Liu Yuan shook his head.

"We have only one thousand brothers in Baoying." Ge Cai said: "There are also one thousand local soldiers. Not to mention that they can compete with us, at least they can see the battle when they are pulled out. Otherwise, they will run away first before the battle begins. How can they do it? The soldiers are trained, Liu Yuan, this time we are facing a situation that is more dangerous than you think. Our territory is too far from here. Anyway, Qin Xinming said that he has money, so let's come with big sticks and honey. Don't you think they can't practice well, you're trouble!"

"It's really troublesome!" Liu Yuan smacked his lips and shook the wine pot, but found that the wine was gone.

"I remember when we were young, Tu Erye trained us. Everyone could work hard for a piece of candy." Ge Cai laughed and said, "Look, I have to train them out. Even if some of them are eliminated in the end, the rest will come in handy."

Compared with the calm surface of Yangzhou, the waves below are different. In Chuzhou, where Huainan Jie Town is located, a nervous atmosphere is revealed inside and out.

The Huainan Jieshi Commander Gong Yunda has mobilized 30,000 troops, including 5,000 navy divisions, and concentrated in Chuzhou. The army of tens of thousands of people has set up several camps outside Huai'an City. The dispatch of food and grass and the maintenance of military discipline are enough for the town and government to be busy. It is also the same as the New Year Festival. The rewards are always given. In addition to the rewards of silver and money, meat and wine are also essential. Otherwise, the soldiers will not be able to make trouble.

It took a month to mobilize these troops, and the massive amount of money naturally flowed out like this. Even if Huai'an is prosperous, such spending money still made Gong Yunda feel a little painful. The key is that Huainan has not yet formed a unified opinion on what to do next, and internal debates have caused Gong Yunda to be very troubled.

"Father!" Gong Bin walked in and looked at Gong Yunda and said, "Except for Mei Jiu from Yangzhou who did not come to greet you, the other magistrates have already arrived."

Gong Yunda gently pinched his eyebrows and said, "No surprise, Mei Jiu firmly supports Datang, and is extremely dissatisfied with my unwillingness to publicly express my attitude."

"What should I do? My father made a decision in the town of Yuezhen. Is there any need to look at his expression?" Gong Bin said angrily.

Gong Yunda raised his head and glanced at Gong Bin: "Do you think so?"

"Isn't it? Since this person is not in line with his father's mind, then remove him. Change to someone who is obedient."

Gong Yunda shook his head: "It's not that simple. Mei Jiu has a very deep foundation in Yangzhou. Moreover, in the past few years he has been in Yangzhou, the taxes he paid in Yangzhou every year have increased year by year. This person is honest and wins the hearts of the people. More importantly, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce supports him."

"Father, the president of Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is Jin Mantang."

"It's because of this!" Gong Yunda let out a long sigh: "So he is even more confident. What reason do you say to replace him? I'm dispatching troops, didn't he give it? I want to add a tuition, didn't he give it to him as he pleased?"

"Father, since all the soldiers in Yangzhou have come out, it would be easier to replace him. A soldier will be settled every moment!"

Gong Yunda smiled coldly: "Do you know that after I withdrew my troops, Mei Jiu had already assembled an unknown army in a few days? Although I don't know how strong it is, it is impossible for you to easily take him down, but it is even more likely to arouse civil unrest."

"Father, I'll think of a solution!" Gong Bin gritted his teeth.

"Have you made up your mind?"
