Chapter 82 It's hard for a child to repay his mother's kindness

When it comes to the practical problem of food and grass, Bo Cai's face showed a sad face and a wry smile. Other people also look gloomy. Tai Shici smiled indifferently and said to everyone, "Well, the facts said by Bocai's supervisor are similar to what I expected... The problem of food and grass is indeed a fatal problem for marching and fighting and stabilizing the hearts of the people. Food is a hard commodity. If you have money, you may not be able to buy it, and you may not be able to rob it with troops. ...Oh, Bocai Superintendent, the craftsmen of Misty Island..."

Speaking of money, Tai Shici can be said to be an upstart. It is estimated that he has more money and treasures than Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan combined, but in the face of the problem of grain and grass, sometimes no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry are useless and lose their value.

Bo Cai heard Taishici mention the craftsmen on Misty Island and hurriedly said, "General Taishi, even if we are short of food and fodder at this time, we have always treated the craftsmen living on Misty Island specially and have always ensured the level of their diet and living, and have never been neglected!" Ha ha, General Taishi, according to the information of the continuous-type stone-throwing machine you provided by you, they have overcome all kinds of difficulties and have successfully made ten continuous-type stone-throwing machines in a month!"

When it comes to the craftsmen on Misty Island, Bo Cai and his companions thought of the continuous stone thrower. They also saw the power of the continuous stone thrower in secret places: the excellent long-range attack distance - the range can reach 1,200 meters; the domineering destructive power - 40 catties of stones hit a wall like Donglai County, and easily smashed the wall into a gap.

Under the transformation of skilled craftsmen, the continuous stone throwing machine with the same power as Cao Cao's side now only needs ten strong men to operate. Such a continuous stone throwing machine, the heavy site is also equipped with pulleys that can move in any direction and shrink up and down. Such a device can ensure that the continuous stone throwing machine does not need to be dismantled. The equipment can be reached from one place to another with the army; thus saving a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

Taishici is short of food and fodder, but there are enough materials and senior craftsmen to make various weapons. Of course, those materials and resources are obtained by means of plunder.

Everyone said a word and explained to Tai Shici the benefits of the continuous stone thrower, a new weapon developed and transformed by skilled craftsmen on Misty Island.

At this time, food and grass are the Achilles' heel weakness of Tai Shici's side. Once it is not well controlled, it will definitely cause chaos in the hearts of the people, and the chaos of the people will cause unknown variables: such as the military-civilian antagonism, such as the people leaving their homes...

But in terms of military affairs, Taishi Ci's side has achieved rapid progress: he has successfully advanced to the innate realm, obtained a thousand Xiongnu cavalry with high martial arts skills, and a powerful and domineering continuous stone thrower. Tai Shici's side is really in the double sky of ice and fire at this time.

In the face of the reality of ice and fire, the core personnel of Taishi Ci are painful and happy...

After a short meeting with everyone, Taishici, accompanied by Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, and Yu Da, returned to the official residence to visit his long-lost mother, Liu. Liu did not know the actual status of Tai Shici at this time. When Liu saw the highest official in Donglai County accompanying his son home, as a mother, Liu was naturally glorious and gratified. In the past, Tai Shici and Huang Turbanjun were too close. To be honest, Liu was still a little worried. However, after the chaos of soldiers and horses, the Huang Turbanjun's family moved into the county. They were all normal and reasonable people, which made Liu feel relieved.

Liu was about to see Zhao Pu and Yu Da. They hurriedly knelt down to Liu and said, "Mother Liu, don't do this!" At this time, General Taishi's official rank is higher than ours!"

Liu Shi looked at Tai Shici with a blank face, and Tai Shici nodded with a smile. Taishi Ci also knelt down to Liu and said, "Mother, a few months ago, my son participated in the rebellion against the Qinwang of the Xiliang Legion of the Thieves Army. I failed to serve my mother so much. Please forgive me!"

"Ha ha, Ci'er, a good man is determined everywhere. Next time you go out to fight, just inform your mother in advance!" A look of worry and resentment flashed in Liu's eyes, and he instantly regained his composure and said. Then, she said to Zhao Pu and Yu Da, "Don't be polite. Please get up quickly!"

Yu Da and Zhao Pu followed Tai Shici and kowtowed to Liu three times, and then followed Tai Shici to stand up. The guests sat down. After talking casually for a while in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, Yu Da and Zhao Pu got up and left.

Without an outsider present, Tai Shici thanked Liu Yan, who had been standing behind Liu, and said, "A Yan, thank you for taking care of your mother for months!"

Liu Yan's jade face is crimson, hanging his head without saying a word, like a delicate mimig. Seeing that Tai Shici was so polite to Liu Yan, Liu Shi glanced at Tai Shici not to do so, and Tai Shici silently shook his head slightly to his mother. Liu, who was familiar with the worldly wisdom, saw at a glance that her son did not mean that to Liu Yan, and there was a little disappointment and regret in her eyes.

In order to thoroughly understand her son's thoughts, Liu Shi tidyed up Tai Shici's room and let Liu Yan and the four maids leave. After a while, Liu asked bluntly, "Ci'er, can't you see Liu Yan's affection for you?"

As a woman who has experienced hardships and is knowledgeable, Liu Shi is deeply aware of how much injury hurts a girl who is in love.

"Mother, it's not A Yan's problem, it's my own problem..." No matter how powerful Tai Shici is, he will always be a child in front of his mother. He cowardly responded to his mother's question and said, "Mother, I was hit by the sea disaster and was trapped on an isolated island. In the four years of the isolated island, there was a fairy-like woman. Zi silently took care of me... Later, the fairy provided me with great help in reality. It can be said that my today is all made by this fairy... This time, when I participated in the rebel alliance army, the fairy came to my side. We got along with each other for several months... In the middle, I accepted Ma Yunqi, the daughter of Ma Teng, the governor of Fufeng County, Liangzhou..."

Tai Shici said a word and carefully explained to Liu the process of having two beloved wives. Of course, he also said the reason why Diao Chan and Ma Yunqi can't come to Qingzhou to visit Liu for the time being. Liu was shocked and stunned by Tai Shici's story, as if all the strange legends she knew happened to her son. When she heard that the girl named Ma Yunqi was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Tai Shici, her expression was extremely happy.

But when he thought of Liu Yan and Lin Xinger who left, Liu's face was full of sadness. She knows that even if she is willing as a mother, her son Tai Shici is also willing, and the two daughters-in-law who have met without acquaintance are unwilling to accept Liu Yan and Lin Xing'er... What should she do?

Tai Shici also knew why his mother was worried about the matter. He didn't know how to comfort him. He just lowered his head and looked at his boots. Liu thought of a good way to deal with this kind of problem. She asked Tai Shici softly, "Ci'er, isn't there a suitable person around you?"

"To my mother, I have excellent brothers around me, but they are too old..." Tai Shici looked at her mother and replied in a low voice, "Mother, I have also met many handsome men with outstanding talents and abilities outside, such as Zhao Yun in Youzhou and Gan Ning in Yizhou. They have a good relationship with each other, but they don't have time to come. State!"

Liu remembered the names of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning deeply, and then talked to his parents casually with Tai Shici. When Liu Yan returned to the living room again, Liu Shi called Liu Yan to rest in the room. That night, Liu Shi and Liu Yan fell asleep together. Liu didn't say much to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan seemed to know something, so he accompanied Liu to sleep like a well-behaved daughter. Late at night, Liu Yan closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes...

At this time, even if Liu Yan can cut off her love for Tai Shici and leave Tai Shici anytime and anywhere, she can't leave Liu. In her mind, Liu is not her biological mother, better than her biological mother. And Liu really needs her care and protection. After all, Lin Fan, the ancestor, also specially explained: If Liu has any mistake, ask her.

The intelligent Liu Yan is not bored and rebellious with Lin Fan Daozu's explanation. She knows that since Lin Fan Daozu has said so, Liu will definitely be in danger...

Liu Yan gave the golden-haired monkey wrapped in jade cicada silk armor to Tai Shici and left calmly. Tai Shici looked at Liu Yan with guilt and got into the quilt with a golden monkey in his arms. Although the golden monkey did not move and did not even breathe, Tai Shici still felt the golden monkey's heartbeat. Touching the body of the golden monkey becoming smaller, Taishi Ci sounded the days when he played with the golden monkey on the Ice and Fire Island...

Sleeping at home**, Tai Shici thought about a lot of questions. After a few months away from home, even if the beautiful woman accompanied him, he still misses his mother very much. Living under the same roof with his mother, he felt at ease for no reason. It's just that he thought of a situation, and he felt very guilty: no matter how hard he thought about it, he closed his eyes, and his mother's voice and smile could not be clearly presented in his mind. On the contrary, Diao Chan and Ma Yunqi's appearance could be clearly seen in his consciousness. Why is that? When he was alone on the Ice and Fire Island, he could still see his mother's clear appearance in his consciousness...

Is it true that you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother? Tai Shici smiled bitterly and comforted himself!

Early the next morning, Taishi Ci gave his mother an early welcome. He exercised his privilege and accompanied his mother to have a breakfast. At this time, the people of Donglai County, whether rich or poor, have two meals a day. Of course, the Liu family is not in this category. However, when the Liu family learned about the regulations of this special period through his neighbors, he also consciously abided by them, which was also two meals a day.

Tai Shici did not say too much to his mother. Before leaving, he gave the jade cicada silk armor wrapped in the golden monkey to Liu Yan, and then nodded slightly to Liu Yan, saying that he had given his mother and the golden monkey to her to take care of and protect. Liu Yan looked at Tai Shici calmly, and then re-locked his eyes on Liu's body.

Liu was aware of this subtle atmosphere. She pretended not to know and sent Tai Shici to the door with Liu Yan. Tai Shici said goodbye to his mother. Tai Shici turned two intersections forward, and he still felt that his mother was still looking at the door!

Thinking that his mother actually had two meals a day and lived a formal life, Tai Shici felt uncomfortable. From this, the same is true of the residents of the city. Tai Shici is very anxious: food and fodder, sufficient daily necessities, and abundant materials are really a fucking problem, which makes him painful.

In the barracks, Yuda Gaoshun Surman and other generals are training soldiers. These soldiers are all newly recruited recruits. Through strict training, those with outstanding ability will be incorporated into the cavalry camp or fall into the camp or practice hegemony. Because the people of Donglai County come from all over the world, even if the selection conditions of the fallen camp are extremely strict, Gao Shun is still lucky to select two excellent soldiers; and Surman's cavalry camp also selects ten recruits with strong potential; the number of qualified soldiers who practice hegemony actually reached 100.

At the strong request of Yuda Gaoshun Sulman, under the attention of thousands of new and old soldiers, Taishici performed the "surfing 18" in public in the trial ground of the school's military field.
