Chapter 257 Unlucky Lu Jiajun
"Thank you for the wine." Zhao Yu lowered his eyebrows, looked expressionless, raised his wine glass and drank it respectfully.
But his heart seemed to be boiled, bubbling and shattering, bursting waves of joy.
Wei Dabin could hear his heart beating faster and he was gushing sour water.
"Mrs. Ben also toasts you and wishes you all to find a girl you like to marry in the new year."
She raised her head and drank the wine glass, her whole body swayed with it, and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you Madam Chu for the wine." The generals said in unison.
All the generals toasted Chu Lixuan together again: "Bless you and your wife, grow old together, and give birth to a precious son early."
"Hahaha..." Chu Lixuan smiled happily, although it was still early to give birth, he just liked to hear it!
Chu Lixuan happily raised his head and drank it, poured another glass, raised his glass and said to everyone sitting.
"All of you here don't have any burdens in your heart. Just work hard and do your best to do your own thing well. If the cause of today and the effect of the future are wrong, then we and the husband and wife will be fed with sincerity. Dog, we just want this world to be more clear."
He has a lot of inner strength, and everyone can hear what he says clearly.
The couple worked hard, planting more than 20,000 catties of rice a day for everyone to eat. If they don't train well and spend their minds on other places, it will not be beautiful.
That's why Chu Lixuan beat them at the New Year's Eve dinner.
Wei Dabin also raised his wine glass: "Wei Mou is also sitting down with a glass of wine, I wish everyone a happy New Year, the master and his wife are not very demanding, you just do your best."
Chu Yi: "Everyone works hard to repay the Lord and Madam. Just eat what you need to eat. Our grain can still be eaten in the coming year. You can grow new grain yourself."
"Okay, we will definitely not disappoint Master Chu and Madam Chu."
Zhao Yu raised his wine glass: "I wish you all to work harder to grow all kinds of food in the new year. If there is someone with bad intentions, don't blame Zhao for being cruel."
His gloomy and cold voice struck the heartstrings of those who had ghosts in their hearts, making people tremble.
Among the tens of thousands of people in the Chu family's army, there is no rat shit, and their management is very strict at every level.
Among the fleeing refugees collected on the road, there were several women who had bad intentions and were cut down by Wei Dabin.
So, I dont know if their family members will hold grudges and beat them first.
Especially, there are so many girls in the cave, that look is really unpleasant.
The vixens of the Wang family had enough to eat and drink, and when they heard Zhao Yu's warning, they had nothing to feel guilty about.
After all, they were rolling around just to eat a few more bites of food, and now they can eat enough every day.
Taifu Cheng was extremely shocked inside, Chu Lixuan's subordinates are not simple people! Works well again.
All generals are literate people? Wen is even more talented, and the surnamed Nie is comparable to what he had in those days.
How difficult is it for Chu Lixuan to dominate one side?
The girl in the cave was so frightened that she didn't dare to toast any wine, so she could only continue to bow her head and eat.
A bonfire was lit outside, and everyone was enjoying themselves, but many people were drunk.
Those who were not drunk took care of those who were drunk. When General Song was drunk, Song Daida helped him to rest in his room.
Song Yuexia had not given birth yet, so Chu Xiao arranged a room for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to live in.
The others could only sit by the campfire or go back to the cave, but no one wanted to leave.
Because Song Mingjiang and Chu Lixiang started to tell the story of Journey to the West for everyone.
Mrs. Cheng was not drunk and arranged a room for him, but he was fascinated by the two children talking about Journey to the West.
The happiest people are the eldest princess grandmother and Jinniang, they live better than in the capital.
Chu Lixuan and the others had a happy New Year's Eve, with food, drinks, and programs. Everyone in the Chu family felt extremely happy.
Most people in the cave also feel very happy, but a small number of people are not satisfied.
********
The Lu family army has had a very sad year this year. Although they are not cold in the south, they are hungry!
I couldn't get the army's salaries. The Lu family, the families of other generals, and some aristocratic families donated a lot of food, but it was a drop in the bucket.
500,000 troops! At least 200,000 catties of rice should be consumed a day!
Lu Chengdi only took over the Chu family's army this year, in order to show that he did a better job than Chu Lixuan.
From the very beginning, he wasted military resources to win over people and used up Chu Lixuan's previous inventory.
How unlucky he has encountered a locust plague that has not been seen in a century, and there is no place to grab it if he wants to!
The nearest Yazhou mansion to them was an empty city a few months ago.
In the Lu family's barracks: "General, we can't sit and wait to starve to death, Nanman is afraid of being beaten by us, why don't we go grab food?"
"Yes! General, our family has done its best, and said that we can no longer squeeze out food."
"The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Can't you die on the battlefield and starve to death in the military camp?" Isn't that a joke?
Lu Chengdi is also devastated, isn't it God that he is not pleasing to the eye?
For the first time, he had a trace of regret, this general is really not easy to be, he used to follow behind Chu Lixuan.
felt that Chu Lixuan was fierce and ruthless, too arbitrary, and too impersonal, he was like a gas bag.
Now, all the soldiers under his command dare to force him, "Then who of you will lead your troops to grab food?"
"The last will be willing to go."
"Then how many people do you want to take?" Lu Chengdi was also moved, and it was better to grab food than to starve to death.
Several small generals and a hundred thousand troops pressed against the southern barbarians, wanting to grab more food at one time and have a lively year.
Although the Nanman signed a letter of guarantee that they would not violate them, they were raising their troops and did not relax their training at all.
Lu Chengdi's army of the Lu family was starving again, thinking that Nanman was unprepared and that underestimating the enemy was a taboo in military use, and they were beaten up.
The 100,000 troops sent by the Lu Family Army suffered countless casualties this time, and the 20,000 who came back were all defeated soldiers.
The Lu family's army had a total of 500,000 soldiers, but Lu Chengdi had driven out a little over 30,000 before.
In addition, the attack on the southern barbarians killed and injured nearly 80,000 people, and now there are only more than 300,000 people.
Although the food on this day has been reduced a lot, but as a general, there are no soldiers under his command, what does that mean?
Not to mention the Nanmans, they also threatened to send envoys to the Emperor Dongchen after the year to ask for an explanation, saying that Dongchen breached their contract and invaded their Nanmans.
If the war starts again, will the Chu family's army, who can't get enough to eat, resist the Nanman? That is impossible.
Sorrowful Lu Chengdi, can you have a peaceful year this year?
He himself is not short of food, but the soldiers under his command can only eat one meal a day.
They complained in a low voice, "How wonderful is the Marquis of Zhennan! The fierceness is a little fiercer, but it is not starving us!"
