The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran and asked, "Are you sure you can really afford it?"

Qi Haoran's money is always not enough.

Qi Haoran waved his hand confidently, "I just don't need to spend the dividend money in the future, and I will definitely be able to pay it back."

So Qi Haoran gave an order, and the logistics of the five battalions took the ledger and roster to Hanzhong Mansion to find Fan Zijin.

Fan Zijin almost spat out a mouthful of tender blood, but Qi Haoran's one-year income from the restaurant would be gone, but he had already made a promise, and he couldn't make him go back on his word, so he could only squeeze out his own private room to make up for him.

Fan Zijin planned to go back and must teach him a good lesson.

At this time, Qi Haoran was happily riding a carriage with Mu Yangling back to Mingshui County for the new year.

Mu Yangling looked at the people outside with smiles on their faces, and said, "I don't know if Big Brother Qi and the others can cease fighting for the New Year today."

"Jin Bing is not a new year, so even if the elder brother wants to cease fighting, he has to ask Jin Bing to agree."

The Jin soldiers didn't want to stop fighting, but they were unable to defend the city now, so they could only retreat. In addition to the cold weather, seeing that the Han soldiers did not fight today, they huddled in the camp and did not move.

At this time, Qi Xiuyuan was not in the camp, but in a restaurant in the town that had just been taken back.

When General Yuan strode in with two entourages, he saw the young man sitting in front of the window at a glance. Appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he walked over with a smile.

Qi Xiuyuan saw him get up immediately, "Uncle Yuan..."

General Yuan laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you call me uncle, then I will recognize you as a nephew. Come on, everyone find a place to sit down."

Seeing that there were not many people in the restaurant, but there were some ordinary people standing or sitting around, he smiled and looked at Qi Xiuyuan, "You kid, you are very shrewd. You have only occupied this town for a few days, and yet you made such a thing?" A restaurant is coming."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and explained: "The price is low in a small place, and you can buy a shop for only a hundred taels of silver. If my uncle comes over, I have to make some preparations."

General Yuan didn't blame Qi Xiuyuan, on the contrary, he felt that he was thoughtful. He raised his head and took a careful look at Qi Xiuyuan. Qi Xiuyuan was only twenty this year. Refined and elegant, standing with them, the big bosses in the army, is really a bit out of the crowd, but the rare ones are even more convincing.

General Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said "yes" three times in a row, "It's true that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past. Although I have never seen you, I have been listening to your news. Your uncle told me back then that you are It is a material that can be made, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to make, and I was shocked when you took over Hanzhong Mansion two years ago."

Qi Xiuyuan said modestly: "Although I tried my best, I only took back the Hanzhong mansion, but the general took back the Henan mansion and Kaifeng mansion as soon as he stepped out."

General Yuan shook his head, "Jingzhao Mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, one mansion can reach two of our mansions, what's more, you only have 90,000 troops, but I have 200,000, how can you compare?"

That's why General Yuan took the risk to meet Qi Xiuyuan. He is a rare military talent. After fighting for so many years, he felt that it was getting more and more difficult to fight Jin Bing. He is too familiar, and because he is getting more and more anxious, he is already over 40 years old, how many years can he be on the battlefield?

Although his son was brave and kind, his own son knew that they could only be forwards, not generals.

He was afraid that if he died, Beiguan would not be able to bear it, but Qi Xiuyuan's appearance undoubtedly gave him hope.

That's why he came to see Qi Xiuyuan regardless of his military advisor Shen Mu's stop, otherwise, he had been in love with him for so many years, and he didn't see him this time, and he didn't know when the next time would be.

Of course, this couldn't be the reason for them to meet, so they used the excuse of using troops against Jin Guo later.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they quickly got to the point. General Yuan meant to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and it would be best to recover all the lost land south of the Yellow River and drive the Jin soldiers to the north of the Yellow River.

Hearing General Yuan's suggestion, Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of what his younger brother said to him the night before he left.

Although it was difficult to take back Hanzhong Mansion, they took it back. Although it was difficult and dangerous to take back Jingzhao Mansion, they also succeeded. Qi Xiuyuan is indeed full of confidence now.

Before that, he and Rong Xuan had indeed the same plan as General Yuan, to take back as much lost land as possible.

But the younger brother, who has always been impulsive and eager to take back his homeland, doesn't think so.

Qi Haoran had discussed this matter with him before being sent back to Xingzhou Mansion. Qi Haoran's meaning was very simple. After opening up things, shrink the front line and defend Jingzhao Mansion, Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.

Qi Haoran said with a deep face on his round face: "Brother, it's not that General Yuan has never taken back the area north of the Yellow River. Even though there is an iron order from the Holy Majesty, he is eager for quick success. Take it back and keep it, only if you keep it is ours, if you take it back and lose it, then the blood of our soldiers will not be in vain?"

Qi Xiuyuan has always known that his younger brother is very talented in marching and fighting, so he thinks seriously about his words.

Qi Haoran took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Brother, we only have tens of thousands of troops, so it would be great if we can defend Jingzhao Mansion. Although General Yuan has 200,000 soldiers and horses, once this battle is over, no one knows how many people will be left. The boundary between Kaifeng Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion is long, and even 200,000 yuan may not be able to hold it. We might as well defend Jingzhao Mansion just like holding Hanzhong Mansion, and then slowly erode outward after recuperating. It is worse than heading north all at once. , but because of insufficient reserves, you have to lose land again, isn’t it better?”

Qi Xiuyuan has been thinking about his younger brother's words for the past few days, and the pride that has been accumulated for many days has disappeared.

Haoran only focused on the battle situation to look at this issue, but he also had to think about the political situation and Jin Guo's response.

If they continue to go north and squeeze the Kingdom of Jin to the point where there is no place for them to survive, will they be furious and pour all their strength into rebellion?

And if they can't defend the captured city, the imperial court will definitely abandon him and General Yuan in order to keep the existing territory south of the Yangtze River.

General Yuan has 200,000 soldiers and horses, the court may have a lot of scruples, but he is only a third-rank general, but he can be kicked out at any time to take the blame, so Qi Xiuyuan decided to listen to his brother's opinion.

And he came here to dispel General Yuan's idea of ​​continuing to go north.

Qi Xiuyuan raised his head, looked at General Yuan with piercing eyes, and said seriously: "General Yuan, I think we should not go north again, but shrink the battle line and defend the captured city."

General Yuan was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?"
