Although there is no snow-covered scene in Yuxi City in winter, the damp and cold air is even more unbearable.
This winter is a nightmare for many people, especially for those people who relocated from Skystar City, Star City and Lixing City. In order to survive this difficult winter, they had to sell the allocated land to exchange some food and firewood. But it also means they will lose their means of subsistence when next spring begins.
People sigh every day.
"It would be great if I didn't come to Yuxi City."
"Master Fang Shisan doesn't care about us..."
"What are we going to do in the future? Just starve to death here?"
People's hearts have changed, and He Yue has no good solution. However, he still took some measures as much as possible, such as providing low-cost medical care, distributing the minimum relief food, etc., but none of these could fundamentally solve the problem. One night, he took my hand and sat in the city lord's mansion, telling me a solution once and for all.
When enlisting in the army, those who have no land to cultivate will naturally choose to sign up. Then assign these people the most basic weapons and armor, let them serve as the death squads in front of the army. In other words, they were deliberately sent to die, and this group of horse leather shrouds would naturally relieve the pressure inside Yuxi City.
He Yue who said this had a gloomy face, without any smile on his face.
I thought about it for a long time, but I still rejected him. And tell him that even if he wants to do it, I have to do it, and he can't be blamed for everything. Otherwise, the prestige that He Yue has accumulated with great difficulty will plummet, and the situation in Yuxi City will be in chaos again in the future. But He Yue didn't agree to let me be the villain, so the matter was delayed.
Just as He Yue was twisting her hair with a pen and sitting in front of the case, there was no way to do anything, news came from the front line.
Fang Shisan won.
The Li Neng fief belongs to five cities, except for the main city [Rivet City], the other four cities are all taken over by Fang Shisan. Although Fang Shisan failed to fulfill her original promise of taking down all Li Neng's fiefs within two months, it also relieved He Yue's urgent need. This is not just the entry of the four cities. There are a large number of uninhabited land outside the cities, which can completely solve the problem of population and land conflicts that Yuxi City is currently facing.
At the end of December 332, the four cities of [Zhenmo], [Iron Wall], [Lieyang], and [Tianqi] were included under the banner of Yuxi City.
He Yue was really happy that day, she made an exception and drank a lot of wine, and at night she insisted on chatting with me. He didn't hesitate to praise Fang Shisan in his words, saying that I definitely picked up a big treasure when I brought her back to Yuxi City, and she was almost the world's number one strategist. But when Fang Shisan really led the army back to the city, He Yue put on an unfriendly look again, left behind saying "it's okay to make up for the mistakes", walked out a few steps, and turned around , and added a sentence "I used to have a bad attitude, I'm sorry".
I actually quite understand He Yue.
He didn't plan to have a good relationship with Fang Shisan because he was too good at the principles of dealing with people.
Although I don't intervene in important military and political affairs now, it is not a good thing in He Yue's view if the military leader and the political leader get too close. So she directly chose to avoid suspicion, and maintain such a lukewarm relationship with Fang Shisan, so that on the one hand, it can dispel my worries, on the other hand, the two people will inevitably have business conflicts in the future, and the personal relationship is so good that it will not be wiped away face.
Fang Shisan sat in a wheelchair, closed his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled sweetly.
Seeing this, Tila, the maid pushing the wheelchair, immediately winked at me, and then obediently went about doing what she was supposed to do. I walked behind Fang Shisan, helped her push the wheelchair, and took her for a walk in the Santo's Mansion.
Fang Shisan said:
"I'm back. This time it didn't go very well. I originally wanted to take down Rivet City together. Unexpectedly, your father... Lord Yunyang brought someone here himself. He said that he came to visit his son, obviously to support him. Fortunately, he is not so brazen, the other four cities I captured, he was too embarrassed to rob for his son himself, so they belonged to us by default."
I saw Fang Shisan's face was slightly tired, and I knew she hadn't slept well recently, so I smiled and said:
"It's not that bad. In the past, we only had Yuxi City, but now we have five times the happiness all of a sudden, and this winter can be regarded as satisfied. Take a good rest when you come back. You have worked hard during this time."
Fang Shisan brushed his hair at the temples, and said softly:
"It's nothing hard... In fact, on the front line, I worried many times that I would not win. Because this winter is our best chance. If we give them a chance to breathe, the pressure we will face next spring will be much greater than now."
As Fang Shisan said, he rubbed his red hands from the cold.
I pushed the car into the corridor sheltered from the wind, walked up to Fang Shisan, squatted down, and held one of her hands in my palm. Hehehe, help her warm up. Also asked:
"I heard that knowing that there are assassins, you chose to continue attacking Rivet City."
Fang Shisan lowered his head and replied:
"I know it's dangerous, but..."
I shook her hand and said:
"But at that time, you frowned, thought carefully, and decided to slant your sword and take a good gamble. Anyway, if you win the bet, you will earn blood, and if you lose the bet, you will repay my kindness to you. At that time, you embraced You rushed forward with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, a white rainbow of righteousness pierced through the sun, and your whole body seemed to be shining, like a saint, you rushed to Rivet City, scaring them to throw down their helmets and armor—"
Fang Shisan argued with a little shyness in his smile:
"It's not that exaggerated."
I rubbed her head:
"Anyway, it's a spirit of disregarding life and death. Thirteen, you are no longer alone. He Yue is far more reliable than you think. Even if you withdrew back then, or you lost this time, you won't be alone." Someone blamed you. You, you have to learn to cause trouble for others once in a while, just like me."
Fang Shisan let me touch his head, not to be outdone, and said:
"Then next time you fight with me, you can just sit next to me, serve the general tea and read the papers, otherwise I will appoint you as the first lieutenant general of Tiance Mansion later, and no one will convince you. "
I laughed:
"Well... it's not just serving tea and water, I can also help you take a bath, wash your feet, comb your hair and so on. How about we practice it tonight? You have been out for so long, I guess you haven't done it well. I washed my body. Well... After so long, the ashes on my body probably weighed two catties."
Fang Shisan blushed and reached out to pat me, but he couldn't. I handed her my hand, Fang Shisan grabbed my finger with one hand, and patted my palm with the other hand, then snorted contentedly, and said:
"You're the one who's dirty."
