In Hedong, the weather is getting warmer day by day. The winter of this long, bitter and cold twelve years is about to be over.

After the beginning of spring, the ice and snow around Jinyang melted, and there was a period of mud and difficult to move. It took March to pass, the ground gradually became dry and the weather became lukewarm and hot. It was the spring sowing season for the year. For decades, in the peaceful Great Sui Empire, the people of Guizhou devoted all their efforts to farm and work at this time every year, waiting for autumn harvest and winter storage, paying taxes to support the operation of this empire.

The Great Sui Dynasty founded and inherited the Northern Zhou system, and taxes were not easy. However, after hundreds of years of war, I could work with peace of mind and not be burned when I got up the next day, a man was conscripted and joined the army, and a woman became a two-legged sheep. It was already a paradise for the people of the Great Sui Dynasty.

It was during the past few decades of peace that the people of the Sui Dynasty had suffered heavy taxes and labor. This was the mountain of stocks accumulated in Liyang Cang Luokou Cang and other places, which could support the Emperor of Daye to open the Grand Canal, allow the Emperor of Daye to conquer Goryeo, and have the Yang family world that was powerful in the country for a while!

But the peace in the past few decades has now become a dream bubble. No one knows whether this spring sowing can continue as scheduled. Will Ding Zhuang be conquered by Duke Tang to be responsible for transportation, will the animals be pulled into the army, and will the war break out in Guanzhong, Hedong. If the spring sowing cannot proceed as scheduled, how should we pass this winter? The Hedong land has always been short of food, and it is supported by the food and fodder transported from the river. Even if the Daye emperor inherited the wealth of the border that he had saved in Jinyang, it would not last long. Once the war continues, the quiet Hedong land now seems to be hungry and will inevitably be everywhere!

During these days, many of the people of Mayi who have struggled to escape have appeared in Hedong after crossing the snow-covered mountain road. Their miserable situation has made the people of Hedong frightened. The two heroes of Mayi fought against each other, and the Turks went south, which has become like a hell on earth. Who knows whether the current Mayi will be Hedong in the future?

Inside and outside Jinyang City, the tension became increasingly intense. In addition to the troops guarding the key passes, the main forces of the three military palaces have been assembled inside and outside Jinyang City. Inside and outside Jinyang, they have become military cities. Not only have they occupied all the official temples and yamen offices in the city, but there are also temporary military camps everywhere outside the city.

A row of blacksmith workshops were also set up along the river outside the city. All the craftsmen from Hedong were collected. The officials sent food and clothing, and carbon and iron ingots were transported one by one. The fireworks swayed all day long, and the sound of jingling was endless. The armor blades, spears, swords and spears, and various instruments were loaded into the car in baskets and transported into the city, and then prepared into complete and usable weapons.

Almost all the people in Jinyang City were mobilized. The men transported all kinds of supplies to serve the gathered army. The women were either sewing clothes or rushing to make dry food. The entire Jinyang City seemed to have become a busy nest of ants.

The guards inside and outside the city suddenly became tighter. There were several layers of cardholders all entering and leaving the main roads. Except for the low-key cards issued by the army, people were almost allowed to travel. It turned out that the northern name Jinyang, which was prosperous and rich, was already tense, as if it was a fortress that was about to spit out blood and fire.

Everyone can see that the war is about the beginning of spring. The people were silently patient and could only wait for the unknown fate to come. No one cared about their feelings in this world war. However, so many families who were working in the city were like chicken blood, constantly holding banquets, constantly competing martial arts and shooting, constantly making all kinds of bold words, and constantly running around, hoping to find a more favorable position under the command of the Duke of Tang.

This war may determine the fate of each family’s family in the next hundred years!

Everyone was wondering what the Duke of Tang was waiting for to issue an order to raise an army? From Mayi Yanmen to the north, to Jiangdu to the south, to the east, to Longyou in the west, to Guanzhong. Everyone knew that this Duke of the Kingdom who was in a desperate situation was going to fight for the world, so what was he waiting for?

Outside the east gate of Jinyang City, a team of people were coming scrambled.

This team of people looked like about twenty riders, dressed in ordinary merchants. They looked like they were dusty and had worn clothes, and they seemed to have gone through a long journey.

Five or six miles outside the east gate, there is a military camp set up on the road, protecting the safety of Jinyang City.

Today it is rare to have no training and no other labor service. After joining Wei Jinyang, the food was rare and good. It always had three meals a day and was distributed according to the food for the expedition. Even in winter, fresh meat was actually supplied.

The general of this small military camp is the first-class team. At about thirty years old, he was not able to get promoted even though he was old in the army. After the aristocratic families in Jinyang gathered, he suddenly became very happy and became associated with the manager of a Zhuangyuan under a certain family. He was very kind and offered him all kinds of diligent and worthless. Through the management, he could see the sons of the aristocratic families who entered Jinyang. Who would not want to extend a hand in the army?

This aristocratic family exerted their strength, and the Hedong Army was expanding vigorously, so they actually got into the commander of the Zhonglei Infantry Army.

Today I was full and had nothing to do with it. There were few people coming and going from the east gate, no more than the north and west, and the cavalry flowed endlessly. His military camp was far away from the city, and few people were in charge. Today, the sun was very good, so the team was just dragging a bed out and resting at the gate of the village. Several soldiers who were always close to him were serving him drinks and food, and they were also talking about his miscellaneous gossip.

The team just felt comfortable all over and was in a daze and wanted to fall asleep. This day, I wouldn't change a god. The characters above must have lived a better life, and they are still deliberately preparing to fight for the world. What's the point of eating a pound of meat for a day? It's only a few feet long to lie down. Why bother?

A sergeant suddenly said, "Someone is here!"

The team was barely opening their eyes to look at the team of people. The soldiers were still making fun of each other: "It seems that they are merchants! We should check and ask, and we can always make a few pennys to take our heads and subordinates there?"

The team was sneering: "At this time, who dares to go on the road? There are soldiers everywhere and refugees everywhere. You don't have to worry about losing your capital when doing business, maybe you will lose your fate! I don't know who has a big future, but I just changed the customer service to cover up my eyes and ears. I still want to make a few quotations, but I will have a life of life!"

The sergeant asked again: "So should we stop him?"

The team was raising their eyebrows and stretching out their hands to hit the sergeant, but they were too lazy to raise their hands: "What do you care about so many things? Checking the people and others is the matter of the sect army. We are the camp in Yingyang Mansion, and we are here, and we are guarding the village! It is rare to practice and we will find trouble for someone!"

The soldiers were scolding me a few times, and the soldiers were no longer happy, just watching the team passing by.

The more than twenty cavalrymen were running closer, and they could see that they were all strong men. They were anxious and their mounts were covered in sweat. Suddenly, the team of people stopped in front of the military camp, and a knight came out and shouted loudly: "Which army of Yingyang Mansion are you? Passers-by come and don't check, who would have promised you to be lazy like this?"

The family didn't cause trouble, but the trouble came to the door. The team was turning up and knew that there were dragons and tigers inside and outside Jinyang, and that no one was offended by the small team that had just risen. Just now, it was suddenly thrown away from the sky and rushed forward. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee through seven or eight steps, lowering his head and silently.

The knight snorted coldly again: "Duke Tang is going to help you, just to help you. What's the point of waiting for you so lazy? Instead, it's wasting the food and clothing that the Duke gave you! Get down and let you see this, the military law is not allowed to wait!"

Just as he got up and retreated with one sentence, he said, just like he was amnesty, and he hurriedly stood up and retreated. As he left, he glanced over and saw a middle-aged man in the team taking off his hood.

This middle-aged man is a celebrity in Hedong County. Wen Daya, the second son of the Wen family in Bingzhou who is famous for his talent and knowledge!

Wen Daya was the scholar of the Eastern Palace for Emperor Kaihuang, to assist the current Emperor Daye, and became a hot political star for a while. But later, somehow, he resigned from his post and returned to his hometown, lived in seclusion in Jinyang, and was a famous person in Jinyang. He returned home for more than ten years and lived leisurely, and never took office again. He was fond of running around and was a middle-aged man in Jinyang, and he knew this scholar Wen.

After the Duke of Tang entered Jinyang, people at that time thought that most of the noble aspirations of Wen Xueshu were not allowed to leave. Unexpectedly, he returned to the Duke of Tang without hesitation, thinking that he was the military record room. The Duke of Tang also relied on him very much.

During these days, he was gone in Jinyang City. Unexpectedly, today, this scholar Wen looked exhausted and returned from the east!
