Yanzhou.

It's October now, and the weather in Yanzhou is getting colder and colder. At this time in the past years, the people were either worried about the winter, or they were always on guard against the call of Beidi people, preparing for the war. Today's autumn of Yanzhou, but a contrary to the previous year's lively.

Autumn is the harvest season. Although the land is barren, and this spring was hit by snow disaster, the harvest in autumn is less than that in previous years, but the people are not worried at all. The Northern Warlord first exempted this year's taxes, and then wantonly collected workers to dig canals and dig canals. The people who went to collect taxes not only shared their rations, but also their wages. From summer to autumn, the food rations and wages accumulated by Shanggong are enough for the common people to spend this winter. With the grain harvested in autumn, this year can even have a busy year.

In addition, the threat of Beidi has gone, and the city of Yanzhou is full of joy and excitement.

In the general's mansion, an Changqing is still reading the official documents sent by an Fu.

In the middle of September, he gradually began to show his heart. In October, his stomach grew bigger and bigger, and his clothes could not be covered. He simply said that he was ill and stayed in the house to rest.

All the servants in the mansion were screened out, and those who could stay were those who were loyal and had signed the death contract. The rest of the servants were sent to the outer court to work as servants. Hu Shifei and Yu Xiao were taken to live in the house, and they had begun to prepare for his labor.

When the news of the birth disease first came, Qi Wei and other officials and other adults all came to visit, but Xiao Zhige refused because he was ill and needed to rest. However, many affairs of Yanzhou government office and craftsman workshop were handled by an Changqing before, but now without him, they are quite leaderless. You adults and the master of the workshop came to see an Changqing several times and asked him to make up his mind. Xiao Zhige wanted to stop him, but an Changqing himself was tired of staying in the house. After discussing with others through the screen, he began to ask an Fu to move the official documents to the house one by one.

Xiao Zhige knew that his face was black, and he didn't dare not let him see it. At last, they stepped back and allowed an Changqing to deal with official business for an hour every day.

When an Changqing had finished his annotation on the official document, he just put down his pen, and the door of the study room was pushed open. Xiao Zhige strode in and said, "it's time."

Glancing at the missing engraving on the shelf, an Changqing muttered in a low voice: "the Lord is more accurate than the missing engraving."

Xiao zhigequan didn't hear that. He sorted out the official documents in front of him and asked Anfu to send them to the official office. He led him out: "go for two circles first, prepare Milk Soup for dinner, and eat more later."

Hand in hand, they went through the corridor to the back garden.

The gardens have long been renovated. There are as many rockeries and pavilions, which are much more beautiful than when an Changqing first came. After an Changqing was pregnant, Xiao Zhige would accompany him here before dinner.

After walking around the garden for two times, I moved my muscles and bones before returning to the main room for dinner.

The food is also carefully prepared. The cook transferred from the military camp has been replaced by the chef specially invited by Yejing. It's delicate and delicious, but the portion is not big. The dishes were all over the table, but there were only two or three of them.

An Changqing's appetite has been gradually reduced since he became pregnant. Although he still looks mellow, Xiao Zhige often looks at his bulging stomach and is afraid that he will eat less. He asks the cook to make a change to coax him to eat more.

Looking at Xiao Zhige, who is always eating for him, an Changqing can only sigh in silence. At first, he was OK when he didn't show his heart. Xiao Zhige looked calm. It's just that since his stomach started to grow up, he started to mess up. He moved all his official business to the government to deal with it. He just wanted to count the rice grains to feed him three meals a day. I'm afraid the fetus is too big and the fetal position is not right. He ate less and worried about whether he was uncomfortable.

An Changqing feels that compared with him, Xiao Zhige is like the one who is pregnant. There is no time to live in peace all the time.

At dinner today, Xiao Zhige was more silent. After a comfortable meal, an Changqing realized that there was something wrong with his silence today. He put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief from Anfu and cleaned his hands. An Changqing looked at him suspiciously: "what's the matter?"

Xiao Zhige was silent for a moment before he showed him the official document hidden in his sleeve. An Changqing took it suspiciously. After watching it, his expression condensed and sneered: "the prince poked the hornet's nest, but now he asks you to clean up the mess. "

the situation in the South was expected by Xiao Zhige, but he didn't expect that it would break out so quickly. According to his estimation, at least after an Changqing gave birth, the South would not be in complete chaos. Emperor anqing tangled and ordered him to put an end to the chaos. However, the prince was more arrogant and stupid than he expected, and several guards in the South were even more vulnerable than he expected, so they almost asked the refugees to kill at the door.

The conflict is intensified, and the time for him to put an end to the chaos is also advanced.

An Changqing is now six months pregnant. According to the records in the letter, the unknown man gave birth nearly two months earlier than the woman. The woman gave birth in October, but an Changqing gave birth only eight months. The expected date of birth is in December.

Now it's only two months away from production, but Xiao Zhige has to go to the south to put an end to the chaos, in case he can't come back in time

He didn't express his worries, but an Changqing already understood."When will the Lord leave?"

"tomorrow morning."

"don't clean up." Xiao Zhige grasped his hand, his eyes were deep, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. After a long time, he hugged him lightly and said sorry with a sigh

in the past, he would be nervous. But now he was not the timid and incompetent son of the commoner. He can handle the affairs of Yanzhou in an orderly way, and also make his generals have no worries when they go to war

he believes that Xiao Zhige can level the south, and he also believes that he can keep his family well and wait for his victory

holding the man's hand, he put it on his bulging stomach and said in a slow voice: "the child is very good and won't upset me. When you get down to the south, take us to the south He had a light smile in his eyes: "I haven't been to the South yet."

on this night, they hugged each other and fell asleep. An Changqing has a big stomach and can only sleep on her side. Xiao Zhige let him rest on his arm, put his other hand around his waist, and gently patted him on the back. An Changqing was sleepy, and now she was asleep. Xiao Zhige couldn't sleep. He watched him for a whole night. Only when the sky turned white did he kiss him lightly on the forehead and walk away

* *

the three southern states were in turmoil, and the situation in prion state was the most critical. Qingzhou and Yongzhou had been occupied by the enemy. The powerful self built guard army and the uprising army fought against each other, half of which were separated from the control of the local landlords and the garrison. When the great powers gathered in one place, their troops should not be underestimated. For a moment, the refugees could not win the great power of Qingzhou and Yongzhou, so they turned their eyes to Linzhou

with 20000 troops, he set out from Yanzhou, passed through Suzhou, Yuzhou and went straight to Qingzhou. The civil unrest began in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou was also the most prosperous of the three states. At the beginning, he was killed by the refugees by surprise. After responding, Qingzhou Haoqiang immediately formed a guard army and began to fight against the uprising army. After all, the rebels are just a group of mobs, all relying on the victory of flesh and blood. However, these powerful people are not short of money and food. After recruiting troops and buying horses, in order to revenge, they began to kill the common people wantonly and beat all the ordinary people who did not participate in the uprising into chaotic parties

when the army arrived in Qingzhou day and night, it was the garrison in Qingzhou that they met first. Qingzhou was under the jurisdiction of zuoqiu, a general of the Rangers. However, at this time, these garrison troops were stationed outside the city listlessly, and the gate of Qingzhou was closed

"as a garrison general of Qingzhou, you can't even keep the city of Qingzhou even if you can't pacify the people? Like a lost dog being driven out of the city? " Xiao Zhige's face was cold, and his eyes were like a sharp blade< The fat on Zuo Qiu's body trembled, and he cried bitterly: "Wang Yeming Jian, I can't help it. As if those refugees did not want to die, they could only stay away from the edge. "<

Zhou Helan was in Qingzhou City before, and Xiao Zhige knew the situation of Qingzhou like the back of his hand. Qingzhou was the first place to start the chaos. Refugees slaughtered powerful and rich families and plundered money and grain. Zuo Qiu, as the general of Qingzhou, could not be suppressed by sending troops. On the contrary, he was almost killed by the refugees at home. He was so scared that he fled to the camp outside the city with his wife, concubines and children. Once the chief general who was supposed to be in charge fled, the city became more chaotic. The refugees became red eyed, and the powerful were not soft persimmons. They began to form a guard to fight back. With all this coming and going, Zuo Qiu, the chief General of Qingzhou, has become an empty shelf.Now the gate where they are is under the control of the guards formed by the powerful.

What kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers? Eight thousand soldiers in Qingzhou are also half as depressed and tired as Zuo Qiu. I'm afraid they are waiting for Xiao Zhige to rush in and kill them, so that they can follow them back to the city.

Xiao Zhige gave a very light smile, but his eyes suddenly cooled down, and said in a deep voice: "You Qi general Zuo Qiu, neglecting his duty, fleeing in the battle, abandoning Qingzhou and beheading according to the law! Take it for me

Zuo Qiu was still smiling. He didn't want him to say that he would turn his face over, so he immediately shrank back. Like a turtle with a necked back, he yelled: "I'm the general of the riding, the general of Qingzhou, the adopted son of Chu Dazhu. I want to talk about the crime, and I should go back to Yejing to distinguish clearly! Even if it's the Lord, you can't kill me immediately! "

Xiao Zhige looked at him without expression: "you will not accept your life outside. Here, you have to follow my rules."

As soon as he raised his hand, a line of soldiers came out and stormed to zuoqiu. Zuo Qiu was escorted back by the left and right officers and soldiers. He yelled: "stop them for me!"

However, the soldiers he brought out were not much braver than he was. To go up wild goose state soldier, immediately with meet eagle's rabbit same, counseled.

No one dares to resist, and no one dares to stop Yanzhou soldiers to arrest people. Zuo Qiu was dragged down from his horse by two powerful soldiers and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhige.

Xiao Zhige was too lazy to talk much. He just said, "kill me."

As soon as Zuo Qiu's face turned white and trembled, he wanted to beg for mercy, but he might as well cut it off with the Iron Tiger sword. He opened his mouth, but he never had a chance to say it again.

Iron Tiger spat one mouthful, the vision swept the Qing state army like the chicken cub, scold a way: "a group of cowards."

Some of the remaining generals in Qingzhou were not angry, but they were afraid of the Northern Warlord's decision. No one dared to speak out again.

Xiao Zhige swept the rest of the Qingzhou soldiers, frowning. However, he didn't have time to drill them again. He simply waved his hand and said, "send someone to shout under the gate. If you don't open the door, you will attack."
