"You're really a family. I won't ask how you earned the money. I believe what you said must be true. I want to know who came up with this idea."
For the first time, Yan Fei looked at Xiao Bei and the other nine people seriously. In the past, Yan Fei was afraid of their status and brothers and sisters.
But now, he was treating the other party like an adult, because the other party had the qualifications.
Xiao Bei smiled and said, "Even if you ask, we won't tell you. We thought about this idea for many days before we came up with it and perfected it.
Sister told brother to open a few more Candy Houses, but we don't want to continue to rely on brother and sister. We want to plan it ourselves.
From then on, when we have time, we get together and think hard about how to get other matching things for the Candy House. Just the Candy House is fine.
But that's not in line with the style of our Zhang Family and Wang Family. Uncle Emperor praised brother, saying that he doesn't come up with a plan easily, but if he does, he will definitely be successful. We can't ruin brother's reputation, right? "
As Xiao Bei spoke, Yan Fei kept nodding. Looking at Xiao Bei and Xiao Yuan's serious and persistent appearance, he wished he could carry the two children over and kiss them on the left and right.
They were really cute and sensible. They also knew how to do things in their family. It was very difficult to achieve such a level.
"Well, you continue to eat. Remember what we just discussed. When you go back, you have to implement it. After the tax exemption, you will find that the county's financial income is higher than before. At the same time, the people's trust in the government office is higher.
I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to find someone else. There are still a few places I haven't visited. You eat mutton, don't eat chicken. Choose some things and pack them up. Tomorrow, you can bring them back to the government office as a gift. "
Xiao Bei finished speaking to Yan Fei and waved his hand. He pulled Liu Feifei and Xiao Yuan and ran to another place.
Yan Fei was stunned and did not move for a long time. He was also frightened. Qin Xin, who recovered faster, reminded him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xincheng, the days in the county will get better and better in the future. You have to help me." Yan Fei said to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin agreed and said, "Indeed, Xiao Bei's amusement park will be built in Hong Nong. Also, with their business in Old Willow Village, as well as their cooperation with my family, they will value Hong Nong a lot. With them valuing Hong Nong, it won't be hard to live a bad life.
Lord Yan, you have to stick to your bottom line. When you're done and ready to leave your post, they'll give you more compensation than you can get on your own. "
"Of course. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare. Come, drink." As Yan Fei spoke, he picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp. He was in an exceptionally good mood today. Not only had he not been punished, he had a development goal.
Qin Xin followed suit and emptied the mutton leg as well. He took a bite and slowly refused. His eyes stared blankly at the flickering flames.
*****
Just like Qin Xin, there were others who were also lost in thought. However, they weren't looking at the flame but at the sand table.
"Reporting, our brigade has suffered heavy losses. We couldn't stop the enemy's crazy breakthrough. During the hand-to-hand battle, our brigade's second regiment was completely wiped out. We lost our line of defense."
The messenger's voice rang out. Only then did Tan Hu come back to his senses. He ordered, "Order the second line of defense, no, the third line of defense. Strengthen the defense. No matter the cost, push the enemy back. Send our brigade's personal guards to the third line of defense."
Waiting for the messenger to leave, Tan Hu's gaze became straight again. He seemed to be muttering to himself, but also speaking to the others in the room.
"Why did they suddenly become so strong? The hand-to-hand battle should have been our army's problem, but they fell in batches. What did they do? "
The other generals were also looking at the sand table. They were also puzzled. One of them asked, "Could it be that they used new weapons?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for the others to answer. He denied it himself, "Impossible. This point is not within the scope of the Military Selection. We can only fight and wait for the support of the nearby logistical forces. No matter what, we have to keep this brigade.
Otherwise, once they break through, they will get more supplies. With artillery, they will be a greater threat to our main forces. I request permission to take the remaining brigade members and personally stop them. "
"Reporting, our second line of defense has been broken through by the enemy. The enemy is continuing to advance and will soon come into contact with the third line of defense. The third line of defense's long-range troops are attacking."
Another messenger came in and reported to Tan Hu.
The expressions of Tan Hu and the others became more and more serious.
"Order the soldiers at the first line of defense to report quickly. Why did the enemy's attacks become so fierce? Wrong. Order the soldiers at the second line of defense to report that the first line of defense has been completely wiped out."
Tan Hu was stunned by the enemy's breakthrough. For a moment, he forgot about the tragedy at the first line of defense and that his brigade was down by a regiment.
"Reporting, the second line of defense has sent people to check on the survivors."
"Reporting, our third line of defense has been broken through. Our allies from the surrounding areas are chasing after them."
"Reporting, our pursuers have encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy. A small portion of the enemy has left the battlefield and is continuing the pursuit."
The messenger reported again and again. Every time, Tan Hu's breathing quickened. The generals in the room also frowned.
After a while, Tan Hu said, "We underestimated the enemy this time. It's not that the enemy isn't strong enough. They just thought that they were strong at the beginning, so they were tricked.
Now, they've set their mentality and are treating us as strong enemies, but we're still immersed in our previous victory. I reckon that two of our brigade's regiments have been wiped out, and the rest won't be able to stop the enemy.
After all, our opponents are generals who have studied under the little lady for a while. Although they haven't studied for as long as us, some of the generals are from the families of generals. "
The person who spoke earlier spoke again. "Yes, the Great Tang. It's the Great Tang after all. The advanced weapons of the Great Tang aren't just for show. If they really adjust, they'll really make us feel the pressure."
"Don't think about it. Try your best to chase after them and gather the remaining people. My logistics brigade still has to continue fighting. It'll be difficult for me to enter the Inner Yard this time. That's good. It shows that the Great Tang's overall strength is high. If they really can't break through, I'll be sad."
Tan Hu also adjusted his mentality. He hadn't entered the Inner Yard yet. Most of the logistics brigade was like this. The commanders of the Inner Yard were the main force, and the logistics brigade was an opportunity for selection.
While Tan Hu felt sorry for himself, he felt happy for the Great Tang. It was very contradictory.
However, he didn't know that he really couldn't enter the Inner Yard. Because of his words, Li Longji personally interceded for him and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to let him enter the Inner Yard.
Li Longji had been looking at the sand table. The battle was intense, and another attack and defense battle appeared before his eyes. When he heard the messenger repeat what Tan Hu said in the room, he smiled proudly.
He said to Empress Wang beside him, "The people of the Great Tang always think of the Great Tang. Even though this person called Tan Hu clearly knows that he has no hope of entering the Inner Yard, he still feels proud of the Great Tang. I have to talk to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo to let this person in. How loyal must he be to say such words?"
"Your Majesty is right. With them around, the Great Tang has no worries. Look at that Yang Qiang. He'll probably be here soon. His last three thousand or so people will be finished. Less than three hundred people will be able to escape, and they still have to pass through the mountain fire. If they're not careful, they'll encounter a situation where the ashes come back, and they'll lose more people.
Yang Qiang is really wronged. If he had fought like this from the start and showed his determination to cut off all means of retreat, would he have lost a brigade? This can be considered as him being loyal to the country. "
Empress Wang evaluated as she looked at the sand table.
At the same time, she recalled the battle just now.
The sand table showed that the battle just now had started before dawn. Yang Qiang gathered all his forces and attacked toward the north, not caring about how many people would die.
Yang Qiang, who was in the room, seemed to be immersed in the battle. He kept roaring, "Attack, attack! Raise your bayonets and fight the last battle for the Great Tang."
Then, he ordered that all the rifle bullets were to be given to the final breakout team led by Kong Lu. Because it was common, it could be used on the few submachine guns and machine guns in the brigade.
The people in charge of the front line only raised their bayonets and used their lives to pave a path.
When the enemy was stubborn, as long as they found that most of the people charging at the front were dead, regardless of whether there were still people alive, the second row of soldiers behind would throw a few grenades and blasting canisters forward, blowing up their own people as well.
That was why the breakout speed was so fast. They didn't give the enemy any chance to resist. They exchanged lives for lives, only chasing after time.
Li Zhi also brought people to fight with the enemy and was in charge of blocking the enemy's pursuit.
In the end, Yang Qiang killed them all. He personally rushed up to fight with the enemy and then shouted as he threw a grenade at me. He was the first to die.
Kong Lu brought his 500 men to break out of the encirclement. There were 200 spearmen, and the rest were pistols, submachine guns, and machine guns. The bullets from the submachine guns and machine guns poured out like rain.
Then, the spearmen were in charge of hand-to-hand combat. At this time, the advantage was finally revealed. Whether it was swords or spears, they all fell when facing the spearmen.
"Charge! Our brothers used their lives to pave the path for us. Charge out! Those who run out of bullets, stay behind. I will burn incense and kowtow to you during festivals. You are the soul of the Great Tang army."
Because the messenger's report was very close to the truth, Kong Lu was particularly engrossed in it. For a moment, he forgot that it was fake. He really thought that so many of his brothers had died. He took out a gun from the holster on his waist and waved it around as he shouted with all his might.
He shouted until his voice was hoarse and his face was covered in tears. Everyone in the surrounding houses could hear him clearly. He still hadn't recovered from this state.
"Report, our army has broken through the layers of the enemy's blockade and successfully entered the burning area. There are 79 people left."
The messenger reported again, shouting the same way.
"Got it. Those who are injured, stay behind. The rest, continue forward. Don't stop. If I die, every soldier who rushes out alive, send a message to our vanguard. Run, run! Our Great Tang will avenge us. Our Great Tang still has Cuckoo. Cuckoo will … Huh? Ah?
That's right, this is the sand table. Martial Selection, Cuckoo is our opponent. No one died, right? Yang Qiang and Li Zhi are still alive. Ah, my throat hurts. Go and get me some medicine.
This is bad. Others will laugh at me. Why didn't you remind me? Who designed the sand table model? I hate them. I wanted to eat spicy hot pot for dinner. Now, I can continue to drink clear soup. "
Li Zhi came back to his senses as he spoke. He raised his hand to wipe his tears and blew his nose. He spoke with grievance.
The messenger also felt wronged. "When you pulled out the pistol, I already said it. You didn't listen. Who is to blame?"
"I didn't say it was your fault. Go and get the medicine." Kong Lu waved his hand embarrassedly at the messenger and chased him out. He looked at the sand table again.
As he looked, he smiled.
"So, it's safe for me to bring my men? The speed of chasing and running is not much different. If we split up a little, it will be enough for them to get busy. Come, pass down my order. The rest of you, form groups of two and look for the main vanguard. Return to the team. "
Kong Lu gave another order. He then pinched the skin on his throat and stretched it. He grimaced. "It hurts so much. It's burning. Ah, it's all gone. A brigade of five thousand people, and only these few are left. I wonder how low my rank will fall? Maybe I'll be chased back home to be a farmer.
Then I'll go to school to be a teacher for the children. I'll teach them how to read and write. I'll also teach them military affairs. I'll tell the children that when they grow up to be generals, they should never underestimate any native. "
*****
When Kong Lu's voice stopped, Yang Qiang and Li Zhi also arrived at the center of the sand table. Although they could leave directly, they didn't want to.
Yang Qiang was the first to die. He went to the door of Li Zhi's room and waited for him to come out. He knew that Li Zhi couldn't have survived.
Li Zhi also saw the brigade commander. He was originally very focused, but when he saw Yang Qiang, he couldn't help but laugh. He gave another order. He clapped his hands and looked at the messenger.
The messenger immediately told him that he had died. He then walked out of the door and followed Yang Qiang to the center.
"Do you think the emperor is asleep? I think Shi Chunzheng is secretly laughing. We finally came to accompany him. This battle was a mess. I don't know if he will lose his position. You, the brigade commander, and I, the regiment commander, are both not qualified. "
Li Zhi, who gave up the idea of fighting, was much more relaxed. As for the future, he didn't care about it. He smiled and said to Yang Qiang.
Yang Qiang smacked his lips and patted his forehead with his hand. He said, "Wang Juan's people are really powerful. I can't help but admire them. My brigade is probably completely wiped out. I just don't know if Kong Lu ran out with his people. Let's go, we'll see them when we get to the center of the sand table.
If he ran out, our responsibility will be less. If he waited for us there, I think the emperor will treat us to an unforgettable meal. It's almost time for dinner. Actually, I want to eat seafood. "
"I also want to eat the seafood of the Blue Sea Silver Sand Restaurant. But if I lose my position, I won't be able to find a place to eat for free once a month. When I see the emperor later, I'll ask for seafood. The kind that is dry and made."
Li Zhi laughed at himself and walked into the center with Yang Qiang. He looked up. Sure enough, the emperor was also waiting for dinner and hadn't rested yet.
Li Longji's seat was very high. He had deliberately made it so that it would look good. The chair was the one that was moved from Xingqing Palace yesterday. It was the one that he always sat on. It was very big. Usually, when Xiaobei and the others ate or chatted with him at Xingqing Palace, they would always squeeze together with him.
Li Longji hadn't seen Xiaobei and the other nine children for a few days. He missed them, so he asked someone to bring chairs. At the same time, he decided that if Xiaobei and the others found out that the yamen officials in Jiangzhou were biased, they would be severely punished.
Without a group of children, the entire Xingqing Palace became cold and cheerless. It was not fun at all. Otherwise, why would they want to stay in the Hibiscus Garden? It was still a little cold in early spring. It was not as comfortable as the palace.
Li Longji was thinking about how Xiaobei and the other children looked when they were playing happily. He happened to see Yang Qiang and Li Zhi come in. He looked down at them and asked flatly, "You two have worked hard."
Yang Qiang and Li Zhi didn't dare to answer. They stood obediently at the door like children who had made a mistake. They lowered their heads.
"What did you do earlier? Didn't the assault team organize very well? The moment you were surrounded, you directly led the team to the north. How could the crippled regiment in the north stop you?
Other than the regiment headquarters and a few personal guards, they didn't have anyone else. They insisted on setting up camp and being surrounded, didn't they? The other side's logistics team almost wiped out all of you. Even I feel embarrassed for you. "
Li Longji continued to scold the two of them.
Yang Qiang and Li Zhi kept their heads down, but they were cursing in their hearts. Who knew what the situation was at that time? We didn't see the sand table in the center, and the hot air balloon team fell first. Who dared to say that he could tell?
As if he could guess what the two were thinking, Li Longji said, "Don't find excuses for yourself. Back then, under what circumstances did Cuckoo and Xiao Bao enter Tubo? How did Cuckoo fight?
She dared to run in circles on the mountain with an enemy force that was several times her size. She ran and fought while organizing her team. Why else do you think I value her so much?
There were many people who could win a battle, but how many people could achieve the same effect as Cuckoo in the past? Steady, steady, you just want to be steady because your weapons are more advanced and your communication speed is faster.
If it was Cuckoo leading the Great Tang army and using advanced weapons to attack you natives, you would have been finished long ago. Cuckoo can beat you until you cry, do you believe it? "
Yang Qiang and Li Zhi were very unwilling to admit it, but they had no choice. This was because many of the tactics they learned were taught by Wang Juan.
For example, this breakout was a choice in the most helpless situation that Wang Juan had said at that time. It was the last method to protect an important person or pass on important information.
Gathering all the superior firepower, ignoring the casualties on their side, and staining the road forward with blood, the prerequisite was that all the soldiers had to be loyal enough.
Now that they didn't see Kong Lu, they probably succeeded. It was really useful. All the handguns and repeating rifles were gathered together, and the sudden attack was too fast. It was really easy to destroy.
"Speak. If you don't speak, I will really revoke your positions. Seeing that this is the last time you made a choice, I will spare you this time. At that time, someone even told me that I could find an opportunity to capture both the Zhang Family and the Wang Family.
Do you see the situation today? Capture? What is the equipment of the Seedling Protection Team? Each person is equipped with two handguns, one submachine gun, and eight grenades. If not, how can I rest assured when I send Xiao Bei and the rest out? "
Today, Li Longji listened to the referees' evaluation of various data, and he 'truly' felt the strength of the elite firearms unit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Qiang and Li Zhi finally spoke, and said the same four words in unison.
Thank you to everyone for your support and votes. Someone even gave me 10,000 RMB as a tip for a monthly vote. I will try my best to write and try my best to write.
I'll say it again. Don't give me money like that. In the past, there were people who gave me money like that. They gave ten thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, fifty thousand, and even eighteen hundred and eighty-eight thousand was not a small amount. Five hundred and eighty-eight was even more.
But you can't do this. I am not worthy of it. I am already satisfied to be able to subscribe and read it. If you praise me in the book review, I will be happy for the whole day.
Thank you, brothers and sisters. But when it's time to save, I will save. Since you gave me money, I will not return it. When I spend money, I will also be happy. Sometimes, I feel conflicted. I want to get more royalties, but I don't want others to pay too much. I admit that I am a hypocrite.
Those who have a recommendation vote, don't forget to vote for me. Praise me again. Thank you. I will bow to everyone. Yes, bow. You want me to beg? Brothers and sisters, you know that I will not do that. I am a stubborn author. I always feel that writers should at least have some strength of character.
Bow, bow!
