Bai Shi, Li’s house, the crisp baby crying came one after another, and it was very lively. In a room, Huang Gui, with a tired face, looked at his daughter crying in the cradle in his arms, and felt extremely helpless:

Child, are you hungry, thirsty, or want to play?

The girl in the cradle had not yet grown her eyebrows and eyes. At first glance, she looked a little similar to her mother. Huang Gui looked at the crying "Little Huang Gui" and felt very distressed.

But I really can't help it. I can't coax it after coaxing it for a long time.

I feel that it is better to hand over my daughter to the wet nurse, because once the wet nurse holds her, she will be able to coax the little guy soon.

However, this is the child she gave birth to ten months of pregnancy, and it is a piece of flesh that fell off her body. Whether it is a man or a woman, how can a mother let go without paying attention?

Huang Gui has been dressed as a man since he was a child. I don’t know if it’s because of his nature or because he has been playing a boy for a long time, so he is unyielding and looks at the wet nurse beside him:

"Where is she feeling uncomfortable?"

The wet nurse came over and looked at it and replied: "My wife, this month's child cannot be hugged flat when he first finished drinking milk, otherwise the child's stomach will be bloated, uncomfortable, and will also burp milk."

"Is that right?" Huang Yan quickly raised his left arm, letting the child rest on his left arm lie down, and then slowly shook it, and couldn't help but coax it.

As expected, the little guy quickly calmed down, gradually fell asleep, and slept soundly.

Huang Gui handed his daughter over to the wet nurse to carry. He heard the crying in the yard next door stop, so he turned around.

On the other hand, Zhao Mengniang successfully coaxed her daughter to sleep and left it to the nurse to take care of her. She finally got out and saw that the main room was coming, so she quickly came forward.

"The child fell asleep?"

"Go back to my wife, I fell asleep."

"That's good." Huang Yan, whose eyes were a little dark, looked at Zhao Mengniang, who was a little dark, and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and take a nap and make up for your sleep."

"The workplace has not been completed yet." Zhao Mengniang looked at the information on the desk, "Now that time is tight, I have to make more money before the chaos begins."

"Then you have to pay attention to rest." Huang Yan ordered, although she didn't care about resting, she took care of the children while taking charge of the family's property.

"Madam, when will Li Lang be back?" Zhao Mengniang asked in a low voice, and Huang Ying shook her head: "He has his own arrangements. If the time is right, he will come back."

"We are at home, just take care of our children and be optimistic about the industry, do you know?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Mengniang nodded and said nothing.

Huang Gui explained some things and turned around and left. The family affairs were complicated and she had no time to rest. Li Li was playing hard outside, so how could she be lazy?

In July this year, Huang Gui and Zhao Mengniang were born one after another, and they all gave birth to daughters.

After Huang Gui finished his confinement, he was busy doing housework, while Li Li was busy in Jiankang.

Li Li went to Jiankang and served as the Dongye Supervisor. He presented a new steelmaking method. In fact, he used Dongye's resources to produce large quantities of fine iron and steel. Then, he took advantage of the chaos of the situation and smuggled various iron products and materials and transported them back to Poyang.

By the way, I took fishing in troubled waters and "touched away" the good horses that were riding on the Huangfan in Taichang Temple.

The horse that he "touched" came back by land; the "children born" came back by boat and came back by water, which seemed very relaxed, but Huang Yan knew that it was not easy at all.

How to judge whether the water is messy?

If the water is not muddy enough, you will reach out and you will be caught and the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you start late, you will not only not be able to touch the fish, but also touch the poisonous snake and be bitten to death by the poisonous snake.

Thinking of this, Huang Gui admired his husband's courage and his ability to do things. Now the rebels have invaded the outer city of Jiankang and surrounded Taicheng. In the chaos, no one knows who the supplies of Ma and Dongye belong to.

However, Li Li did not come back, but stayed in Jiankang, where the war was full of smoke.

Hou Jing's traitors have surrounded Taicheng, and I don't know what the battle is now.

Huang Yan thought about the current situation and returned to the dormitory. He took out a letter from the locked cabinet. The letter was written by Li Li himself. There were two letters in total, with the same content. They were brought back through water and Lu and two groups of people.

In the letter, Li Li reported to Ping An, explained some things, and told Huang Wen and Zhao Mengniang to take care of both their daughter and themselves.

Huang Yan looked at the letter that had been reading repeatedly many times, and looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, thinking of Li Li's quick writing.

The fishing for troubled waters is not over yet, and Li Li stays in Jiankang and needs to make a difference and adapt to the situation.

For this, he would inevitably bear huge risks. Huang Feng was worried, but what he could do now was to handle the housework well.

This time, she failed to give birth to a son for Li Li, and so did Zhao Mengniang, so Huang Yan felt a little regretful.

As chaos begins, Li Li cannot stay out of the matter, so there may be accidents at any time.

She put the letter on her chest and murmured: "Sanlang, you must come back safely..."

......

In the new year, January, heavy snow is flying, and the large areas of houses on the south bank of the Qinhuai River have turned into ruins. Jiankang City is bleak and the prosperity of the past is no longer there.

Li Li stood in front of a dilapidated house, looking at the white snow in front of him, and then looking at the inner city of Jiankang - Taicheng in the distance. He looked at the wisps of smoke rising around Taicheng, and fell into deep thought.

In late October, the rebels attacked the exterior of Jiankang, surrounded Taicheng, and attacked day and night since then. The troops of the kings from all over the country have arrived one after another. He heard some news one after another and felt that the war was not optimistic.

In early November, the rebels captured the east city in the southeast of Taicheng and the north of the Qinhuai River, while the Xizhou city and the stone city on the Yangtze River were also captured.

Previously, Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling who led his army to attack Shouyang, learned that the rebels crossed the river and occupied Caishi, and immediately returned to the army and rushed to Jiankang without stopping, crossed the river in Guangling, and landed at the Jingkou of Jiangnan.

Then march towards Jiankang to the west, camped on the edge of Jiangshan in northeastern Jiankang, and at the end of November, he fought with the rebels on the southeastern bank of Xuanwu Lake.

As a result, they won first and then lost, and their troops were dispersed.

In December, the army led by the prince Xiao Si, the prince of Poyang, crossed the river from the north of the river and arrived in southwest of Jiankang, and stationed in Caizhou, Jiangshang.

Afterwards, Wei Can, the governor of Hengzhou who came from Hengzhou to serve the king, and his cousin, Liu Zhongli, the governor of Sizhou, also arrived in the southwest suburbs of Jiankang. This envoy Wei was the confidant minister of the crown prince and the grandson of the famous general Wei Rui.

Like his cousin Liu Zhongli, he was a son of a general and was a "native general" of Liang State.

At the end of December, the army of the king gathered and set up camps south of the Qinhuai River. The army jointly recommended Liu Zhongli as the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the king.

At the same time, Hou Jing liberated his slaves on a large scale, claiming that no matter what his background was, he would be an official as long as he served him, and women would be enough and rice would be enough.

As long as you make meritorious service, you can be promoted and become a superior person.

As a result, more and more slaves were involved in the rebel camp, and the rebel forces increased sharply.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, Wei Can led his army across the Qinhuai River and set up camp on the north bank, but the heavy fog delayed the time. The rebels took advantage of the fact that they had not yet established their foothold and attacked with all their strength.

During the battle, Wei Can and many Wei family members were killed and sacrificed their lives for the country. Liu Zhongli led his army to rescue him and almost killed Hou Jing who participated in the war, but he was also seriously injured and almost lost in the formation.

Two consecutive defeats, the loss of troops and generals, greatly affected the morale of the royal army, and also disappointed Li Li, who stayed outside Jiankang and was waiting for progress.

There is no doubt that Liang's army's combat effectiveness is not good.

The soldiers are too bad.

It was not that Li Li was disrespectful to generals such as Wei Can who died for his country and countless soldiers who died, but that the military discipline of the government was too poor: the royal army arrived at the southern bank of the Huai River and did not want to prepare for war, but burned, killed and looted first.

Their targets of burning, killing and looting are the people of Jiankang and the residents of the capital!!

Countless women were snatched from their families by these soldiers of the king and dragged them into the barracks for their sakes. Countless people were threatened and intimidated by soldiers of the king and took out valuable items and grains in their families to "buy their lives".

Such behavior made Li Li, the bystander, feel his head swelling and angry.

Although not all king-fighting teams do this, it can be said to be a common phenomenon.

When Hou Jing's rebels first entered the city, they probably wanted to win people's hearts. The military discipline was quite strict, and the generals of each division had restrained their subordinates. There was no large-scale burning, killing and looting.

Later, with the failure of the rapid attack on Taicheng, the siege of the city became longer, the rebels' military discipline began to be corrupted, and the people began to be in trouble.

The people who were harmed by the rebels were waiting day and night, hoping that the royal army would come to rescue them, and hoping that the royal army would annihilate the rebels. As a result, who were the people who came and what were they doing?

They are robbers who burn, kill, loot, and do not do personnel, as bad as rebels! They are even worse than rebels!

How can such an army with bad military discipline be punished? How can we relieve the people from being upside down?

The people of Jiankang, who should have been eating on both sides of the road to welcome the royal army, are now so scared that they hide and dare not approach the camp of the royal army.

The human heart is gone.

Li Li believed that if an army cannot win the hearts of ordinary people, but is cruel enough to win battles, then it would be fine. Others would only surrender and dare not say anything more.

As a result, the royal army bullied the people and failed to suppress the rebellion. They suffered two major defeats in succession, with small defeats. It can be imagined how many people will be cast against the rebels who can fight next.

Li Li had heard something before: Hou Jing asked the powerful minister Zhu Yi's servant to put on his official uniform, rode a horse to sway outside the city, and shouted at Zhu Yi on the city.

It took Zhu Yi several decades to become the leader of the Central Army (the commander of the Imperial Guard means the emperor's extreme trust), and when he voted for the King of Housing, he immediately became the chief official of the three departments of the founding of the Yi and the Three Divisions.

This time, more slaves were thinking about it and they all joined the rebel camp.

At this time, it seemed as if Hou Jing was a radiant liberator. For many poor people and slaves of Liang, he was a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering, while the monarch and ministers of Liang were slave owners who did many evil deeds.

Decades of oppression have now come a big backlash. It is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.

For many slaves and people, if the rebels succeed after joining the rebels, they may not be able to have a wealth and honor; if they join the official army, if they do not regard themselves as human beings, and cannot defeat the rebels, then where can they be rich and honor?

For ordinary people, casting the obviously visible winner is the best choice to save their lives. Even if the winner is morally corrupt, he will do a great deviant thing.

The rebels were replenished continuously, and the forces of the King's Rescue Army were no longer disparity, and they were more confident in confronting each other, and there was no shortage of "cannon fodder" to attack Taicheng.

It is January 3, Taiqing, and Taicheng has been surrounded for more than two months. Li Li feels that if the royal army cannot make any breakthroughs and the war continues like this, the wheel of history will inevitably enter the original trajectory.

The sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and an armored guard approached and said to Li Li who was turning around: "Li Jianzuo, the prince summoned me, please follow me."

Li Li responded and followed the other party toward the military camp that stretched forward.
