Chapter 31: Eve of the Great War 2
Looking at the fat fish and fat dragon standing beside him, although they had only not seen each other for more than a month, it seemed that they had passed for a long time. Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly turned red. In order to hide it, he punched the two people, and then hugged the little seven and four people at once. After a long time, the four people separated, and the fat fish was in a hurry to say after separation. After that, Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Only then did Fat Fish and Fat Long feel that their stomachs seemed to begin to protest, grinning and said, "The boss still understands us. He hasn't eaten for a day." Xiao Yan greeted, "Lord Lu, Brother Yang, we didn't eat yet. Let's go to the barracks to eat together, and then introduce two brothers to you."
Yang Zaixing has almost seen the situation just now, thinking that it would be good for me to have these brothers. Still thinking about it, Xiao Yan greeted himself and promised, "You go first. I'll arrange it and I'll be there soon."
Xiao Yan came to the room in the barracks and saw dozens of people busy cooking. Seeing Xiao Yan coming in, they all greeted him one after another. Xiao Yan asked, "Brothers are very tired of training. The food must be ready."
A fat official came over. Xiao Yan knew that an official in Jiankang Mansion was arranged to manage the food and food of personnel because he had been in charge of money and grain before. Seeing Xiao Yan's question, he hurriedly replied, "This time, I captured a lot of food and fodder from the Jin people, and Lord Yin said that the army training was very hard, so three days a day. There must be meat in the middle and evening, ladies and gentlemen. Pointing to the meat in the pot, he said, "Today is braised pork, three pieces per person to ensure that the brothers eat well."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "We haven't eaten either. When it's ready, give us a meal with our brothers." All right, ladies and gentlemen, later." After a while, he quickly brought a pot of tea and poured water and said, "Drink some water first, and the meal will be ready soon."
Xiao Yan originally felt that the people around him were not enough. Now Fat Fish and Fat Dragon suddenly felt much loose when they came back, so they arranged for the two to take the 20,000 heavy infantry and train together with Yang Zaixing. One was that Xiao Yan felt that the soldiers were better brought out by himself, and the other also asked them to learn from Yang Zaixing. He led the troops and arrayed with the platoon. After arranging them, Xiao Yan said to Yang Zaixing, "Brother Yang, you are the only one from a regular army background. You know soldiers, train soldiers, and fight. Today, Fat Fish and Fat Dragon will be handed over to you, and let him learn how to lead the army to fight. Now your main task is to train with everyone. Once the golden dog launches an attack, You are fully responsible for all the defense of Jiankang City. No matter who doesn't listen to the commander, you can handle it yourself. Then he asked Lu Chen, "Lord Lu, do you think this is okay?"
Lu Chen is now different from before. Seeing Xiao Yan's arrangement, he felt very good. Yang Zaixing's ability to lead the troops was known and nodded with a smile and said, "Master Xiaozhai is very good. With General Yang's full command, it is much better than outside our door. Xiaozhai is really good." Although Lu Chen has changed something, his flattery is perfect with his family. Not only did he agree, but he also put a high hat on Xiao Yan.
Yang Zaixing didn't expect Xiao Yan to suddenly say so. He was not ready for a moment and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but he was a soldier and did not like to drag. He said, "Since Brother Xiao and Lord Lu trust Yang, Zaixing will definitely do his best to protect Jiankang." It has been reported well."
Seeing Yang Zaixing's agreement, Xiao Yan said to Xiaoqi, "Fat Fish and Fat Dragon are coming, then you can take their people to the treasury and take five bed crossbows to the stone city in the northwest to garrisonate. After that, get familiar with the terrain and the situation in the city as soon as possible. This is the most important line of defense in the northwest. You must keep it in any way. After you arrive, you and Hou Ying will defend Stone City together. Once the personnel here are trained, I will add 3,000 people to you in time.
After a few days of observation, Xiaoqi knew the importance of Stone City. Seeing that Xiao Yan gave such a heavy burden to himself, he trusted himself and said, "Don't worry, the boss will definitely keep this stone city." After saying that, he sat there and discussed some details about defending the city with everyone.
Almost the discussion, Xiao Yan took the lead in standing up and said, "From today on, they will perform their respective duties until the golden people attack. The city defense patrol during this period will be handed over to Lord Lu and me. You can do your own thing at ease. Prepare for the arrival of the war.
Xiao Yan and Lu Chen had a division of labor. Lu Chen took 10,000 people to be responsible for the revision and inspection of the northern wall of Jiankang. Xiao Yan took these 10,000 people to the junction of the Qinhuai River and the Jiajiang River in the west of Jiankang to near Zhuque Gate. This section of the outer city is a fence wall. The inner city is a wall built with the Qinhuai River as the moat. It is more than five feet high and more than two feet wide, and you can run horses on the wall. During the inspection, Xiao Yan couldn't help thinking: "Even if the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River are dangerously broken, it can stop the golden dog for a while with the tall wall. Why did he let the golden dog invade the south and force him into the sea today? Xiao Yan walked along the high wall. Today is the fifth day, and the people who planted in Jiangbei have not sent back the news for two days, but it can be judged that the attack of the Jinren is imminent.

Dongting Lake. Lianyunshui Village. The council chamber.
Yang Tai, Wei Dayong, Zhou Cheng'an. The three stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the underground, with incomparable surprise on their faces. What surprised the three so much? This is a sand table, a terrain sand table of Lianyunshui Village. When Shen Shiyang sent it, Yang Tai was stunned on the spot.
However, even a map in that society is a luxury, not to mention such a clear terrain model, Yang Tai asked Shen Shiyang how he made it on the spot. Shen Shiyang said that his family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it is inevitable to go to the deep mountains to collect medicine. Over time, he has a natural reaction to some shapes and distances of some terrain, and even if it is not measured, it will be almost the same in his heart.
After Xiao Yan found out, he told Shen Shiyang what he thought in his heart, asked him not to take a closer look at the terrain around the village when he had time, and told him that when the terrain was remembered, there would be sand and glued to shrink the terrain that he remembered in his heart and make it on a board, and then constantly Observe and modify until there is basically no error.
As soon as Shen Shiyang heard Xiao Yan say that this was quite fresh and not difficult for him, he made it after more than a month. At that time, Shen Shiyang also asked Xiao Yan what this thing was called. Xiao Yan said at that time, the sand table. The more Shen Shiyang thought about Xiao Yan's name, the more appropriate it was. He couldn't help but admire Xiao Yan, the owner of the small village, and immediately threw himself to the ground.
After a long time, Yang Tai asked, "Brother Wei, there are more and more people in our water village during this period. If the village owner is not here, we still have to share more. Although there are more people in the village now, the combat effectiveness is far worse than before, but this can't Complaining everyone, there are too few people available in the village now. Speaking of this, Mrs. Yang turned around and said, "The defense inspection of the water village has been handed over to you during this period. I want to train these new brothers well."
Wei's people agreed on Tuesday, and Wei Dayong said, "A few days ago, the one-eyed old seven and the heavenly monks united with more than a dozen people and horses of the village said that they were going to hold a Dongting Alliance Conference in the name of anti-Jin and elect an alliance leader to lead everyone to resist the golden soldiers."
"Their group of people still resisted the golden soldiers and burned, killed and looted all day long, which was worse than the golden dog. It was the last time they went to borrow a boat to let them see some details of our water village and wanted to cooperate with other people in the village to put pressure on us and get some benefits." Zhou Cheng'an said angrily.
Yang Tai listened to their words and was constantly thinking about it. After a while, she said, "Yueyang has heard the news that the owner of Dingzhai has transported a batch of weapons and armor back, but now is the time for Song Jin to start the war. The road is not safe. I don't know when I can return to the village. Brother Wei, Brother Zhou, I still have to Let's deal with these people and delay the time. If we wait for the owner of Dingzhai and the village owner to come back, we will be fully staffed. In addition to the newly added brothers during this period, there will be more than 20,000 people in our whole village. Who are we afraid of in the whole cave.
Wei Tuesday said angrily, "Then I will put up with them for a few days, and then I will calculate the principal and profit together."
"As for their post to us this time, we won't go. Send a clever brother to send them another 500 taels of silver and say that everything can't be decided until the owner comes back. We dare not make decisions without authorization." Yang Tai said.
It turned out that since Wei Chui went to several water villages to borrow boats in Dongting, these water villages naturally knew that Lianyunshui Village was going to do a big deal, but they could not find out, so the owners of several villages came to Lianyunshui Village. Namely, they were concerned about whether there were enough boats and what help they needed. In fact, I just want to explore the truth. Who is Mrs. Yang? How can't hide this small plan from him, so they made a plan. Originally, there were not many brothers left in the village, but after Yang Taiyi's arrangement, outsiders seemed to have at least tens of thousands of people, and after seeing the construction of Lianyunshuizhai's wall and the entire defense facilities, in addition to their shock, the rest were jealous. How much money will it cost? What surprised them more was to see the food of all the people in the water village, which was even more amazing. There was meat and fish every meal. Ask each person again if they still have a monthly salary. When these people go back and calculate, the daily expenditure will catch up with that of their own village for a month. But no one dares to do it easily when they see the situation of Lianyunshuizhai. So I found some reasons to get a lot of money from Lianyunshuizhai one after another. The more so, the more uncomfortable these people feel. How many families there are in Lianyunshuizhai, and how can still take out money in such a way. So several big water villages united and found a famous person to attack Lianyun water villages.
How can't you see this? It's just that although there are people in her hand, they haven't been trained for a while. They are just a group of rabbles. In addition, they don't have weapons in their hands. How can she fight with others empty-handed? So far, she sends people and then sends money. She also knows that it's only the last time, and it can be delayed. How long has it been? Anyway, it will be beneficial to delay one more day. However, Mrs. Yang is also secretly preparing. Don't let people realize it when they hit the door. The yellow cauliflower is cold.
