Chapter 1633: The Battle of Lintaobao, in the Chengdu House
Chapter 1633: The Battle of Lintao Fort, in the Chengdu Mansion
The encounter between the two armies in Lintao Fort was in full swing. The two sides fought for several days, and both sides lost their troops and generals! Finally, the Xia and Liao troops retreated to the lower reaches of the Agan River in Lanzhou. The Jin troops were also unable to pursue them and could only temporarily stay in Lintao. Stationed in the west area of the fort and awaited Tudan Kenin's next order.
However, Tu Dankening obviously can't care about this place now, because the battle here in Nanchuan Fort has also begun.
First, the Xia and Liao soldiers and horses made a tentative attack, and then the Jin soldiers and horses responded in kind. Both sides went back and forth, and finally both of them invested most of their troops.
The number of soldiers and horses on both sides is about the same, and the generals are all mediocre. They use their own methods for a while, and there is victory or defeat for each other, but neither side is sure to completely defeat the other!
The two sides fought for half a month, and finally they were exhausted. As a heavy snow fell, the two sides had to temporarily call off their troops and call a truce!
The soldiers and horses of Xia and Liao retreated 20 miles and camped close to the mountains to the east of Tao River. The soldiers and horses of Jin retreated more than 10 miles and camped on the opposite bank!
In the Tianshui Army camp, Shen Tang also put on thick winter clothes! Especially as snow has begun to fall in many areas recently, the howling northwest wind makes the weather even colder.
After walking out of the tent, Shen Tang rubbed his hands! He happened to see Bi Zaiyu leading a few carriages over.
"Commander, the Shao family's caravan came from Chengdu and said that their family brought something for the commander!"
Shen Tang nodded and asked Shen Qiu behind him to greet him! Although he did not go out to fight, he was stationed outside after all and was not at home. Naturally, the daughters at home were worried.
Therefore, there are caravans coming almost every few days.
Shen Tang also knew the thoughts of the daughters in the family, so although he could not return to Chengdu Mansion, the letters he exchanged were never interrupted.
"This year, I'm afraid we have to celebrate the New Year here..." Shen Tang walked forward and said to Bi Zaiyu.
Bi Zaiyu smiled. He was the only son in the family. His father, Bi Jin, was a lieutenant general of Yue Fei's army in his early years and was promoted to a doctor in Wuyi! However, because he was injured on the battlefield, he finally stayed at home to recuperate with Bi Zaiyu's mother.
Now, the old couple is living in Lin'an, living a relatively healthy life, with no worries about food and clothing. Although Bi Zaiyu misses her, she is not worried.
"Following the commander-in-chief, it's not the Chinese New Year! These many colleagues in the army can be quite lively!"
Shen Tang smiled and patted Bi Zaiyu on the shoulder, "When the war is over next year, how about I find you a wife and personally marry you?"
Bi Zaiyu grinned, with a rare hint of blush on his face, "The commander-in-chief is worried about you, but my parents have already shown me the family. She is the orphan of her father, Pao Ze! That uncle was on good terms with his father, but But among the soldiers who died in the battle, only this orphan girl was left to live with her old aunt!"
"Next year will be the year when the little lady gets her hairpin. My father has already sent a message, and we will start performing the six rituals next year, and we will get married when I return to Lin'an!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh loudly, "No wonder you kid is not in a hurry, it turns out that my family has already prepared a house of ladies! It doesn't matter. If I can make it in time, I will still marry you. If I can't make it in time, I will still prepare it for you. A great gift!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Bi Zaiyu agreed unceremoniously.
Everyone in the army knows that although Shen Tang is usually strict, in private he is very kind to the soldiers! Even if they are the most ordinary soldiers, if they ask Shen Tang for personal matters, Shen Tang will rarely refuse. .
Moreover, Shen Tang has already stipulated that all lieutenants in the army can write one letter home every month, and the caravans from the Shaosheng and Sheng families will help bring it back, and they will also bring letters or belongings from home! Just this A little is enough to make all the soldiers return home! Letters from home are worth ten thousand yuan. In this era, not many people can read and write letters, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to send letters over long distances. Only Shen Tang has a huge number of people under his command. With the help of the caravan and the people from Dark Night Pavilion, the letter was able to be delivered to all state capitals.
With such a commander-in-chief, it is no wonder that all the soldiers worked hard.
At home in Chengdu!
Since Shen Tang left north, the girls have fallen into longing! Although they also know that with Shen Tang's status, it is impossible to stay at home forever, but it is understandable that they understand, but missing her is unavoidable.
Fortunately, there are a lot of sisters at home, and they spend time together chatting or having fun, so the home is not too lonely after all.
The two little ones, Xiao Nianli and Xiao Fantuan'er, have grown up a lot, especially Xiao Nianli, who is one and a half years old. He leads a group of maids and mamas around the girls' rooms every day, and he has no time to relax at all! The arrival of rice balls made things a lot easier. Originally, he kept trying to get in front of his sister, but her sister didn't want to play with this little bean curd, so she gave up after one or two times! He could only enjoy himself in this way.
Looking at Xiao Nianli who had just returned from running wildly in the back garden, Murong Yu gave a speechless smile and said, "Sister, look, how will this little girl be able to live peacefully in the future as she is always pampered by the master!"
Mu Yu hugged Xiao Nianli in her arms, while Xiang Ling on the side smiled and said, "Our daughter should be like this. Besides, with his father's support, his father will not do anything in the future even if he is upset. Blame!”
"Besides, this little guy is a shrewd guy. Although he is young, he is also measured. How can you worry!"
After chatting for a while, Xiangling asked Lian'er who had just walked in, "Lian'er, is sister Ayi feeling better?"
Ayi has been feeling a little unwell these past two days, and Isa is taking care of her, so she didn’t come over today!
"Sister, don't worry. I just had the female gentleman at home take a look at it and he said it's already healed.
It will probably recover in a day or two at most!”
Today's Lian'er is no longer the pretty little girl she used to be. She is in charge of everything in the family and has a very good sense of control. All the girls in the family are close to her.
"Where are the two little girls?"
Xiangling asked again.
Lian'er smiled and said, "When we came back, we happened to meet Sister Yue'er. Yun'er and Zhu'er went with Sister Yue'er, saying they wanted to go for a stroll..."
"These girls, the weather won't stop freezing! You can ask someone to bring some big cloaks to look for them. We can't let it freeze these days."
Lian'er nodded in agreement, and then said again, "Sister Xiangling, yesterday you said you were going to prepare New Year's gifts. I wonder what our schedule will be this year?"
Xiangling thought for a while and then said, "My husband wrote in a letter a few days ago and said that we don't need to worry about other things. We just need to prepare our home and the sisters' in-laws!"
"Mu Yu and Yue Yatou have already written the gift list, just follow it and prepare it! Yu'er, you two sisters will discuss it on your own, and there are two sisters Ayi. You can also send someone to ask. In addition to
They prepared it themselves, and the rest will follow Yu'er's direction."
