Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuyan took Ji Xun some cold water and rubbed it distressedly.

"It's very late, husband, go take a hot bath and rest early, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

"Okay." Ji Xun responded softly, stuffed Shen Yuan's delicate hands into the bed, and went out of the room to ask the servants to bring hot water upstairs.

After taking a bath, he got into the bed warmly, held his wife in his broad arms, and gently stretched his big hands towards her abdomen, whispering softly.

"A few stinky boys, can you still ride? Did you kick you?"

Relying on this warm and firm embrace, and sniffing the pleasant fragrance of her husband, Shen Yu'an only felt that his chest was full of happiness.

"Of course I kicked it, but it's lively, here~~ Can you feel it?"
Ji Xun clearly felt a little foot pushing against his palm through his belly, and immediately hugged Shen Yuan tightly in distress. "Does it hurt you to kick? Brat so hard!"

Shen Yuan put her arms around her husband's neck and acted sweetly.

"It hurts so much, dear husband."

Ji Xun lowered his head slowly, and kissed her lingeringly for a long time.

Ji Xun went to the barracks early the next morning.

In order to free the people of the world from the chaos of war, Ji Xun only wanted a quick conclusion in this war.

He brought a group of generals to the Jinzhou River again, and frowned as he looked at the vast river full of ice floes.

"Do you have any good ways to cross the river?" Ji Xun looked at the ice floes and bare bridge piers floating on the river, and asked Wang Chang and other generals.

"Is it possible to build a bridge? The piers are all there." He Mang suggested.

"Building a bridge? Are you kidding? Unless you can build it overnight, Zhu Xiangyu is not blind, can he just watch you build the bridge and kill them?
"Hey." He Mang scratched his forehead embarrassingly, ""With this little IQ, I think there is no other way but building a bridge. "

At this time Wang Chang answered, "I also think we can only build a bridge~~ But we can build a pontoon bridge and find a remote and narrow river channel. It should be built in a few days..'

"This won't work." Niu Zhi shook his head, "One is that a few days is not too short, and Zhu Xiangyu cannot fail to notice it. The other is that the pontoon bridge is narrow and swaying, and it is difficult for soldiers to pass through. Once the enemy finds out, they will go over and die."

"What about crossing the river by boat?" Wang Chang said.

Lin Yi immediately replied, "The river has been blocked by heavy snow, and we don't even have a boat in our hands!"

Wang Chang, "Is there always a fishing boat for the common people along the river? Buy or requisition from the common people."

"You can try this method." Ji Xun nodded when he heard this, and told Lin Yi and He Mang, "You two take people to borrow boats and see how many boats you can borrow."

"Yes." Lin Yi and He Mang agreed, and led the people to look for boats in the east and west directions.

Ji Xun, Wang Chang and Niu Zhi stood by the river for a while.

Ji Xun picked up a piece of ice floe from the river and asked Niu Zhi, "General Niu, you are from the north, do you think the surface of this river may be frozen again?"

Niu Zhi looked at the bright sun in the sky and shook his head.

"With this weather, if you don't take a boat to break the ice, the river will probably melt. How can it be frozen? Unless the temperature suddenly drops and there is a blizzard~~ But it should be possible. This year, the north is warmer than the south."

Ji Xun nodded silently, and a group of people came up from the river and returned to the camp.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi and He Mang came back, opened the tent curtain and reported with sad faces.

"Your Highness, Zhu Xiangyu should have been prepared long ago. He snatched all the fishermen's boats along the river, and even the small boats of that kind were smashed, no matter how big or small a boat was found.

Ji Xunjun's face sank, and he said quietly for a while, "In this way, we can only attack Jinzhou after the river opens to navigation in the spring of next year."

"In this way, it will be at least three or four months, which is exactly what Wei Xuanyuan wanted." Wang Chang was also full of helplessness, "Give him such a long time to recruit troops and buy horses to recuperate, and it is cheaper for him."

Before he finished speaking, a clear and bright voice came from outside the tent.

"Ah Xun, I don't want to wait until spring next year to come to Beijing. I want to spend Chinese New Year in Beijing this year."

With the voice opening the curtain, it was Shen Yuan who came in. She was holding her pregnant belly and was supported by Ling'er. The smile on her face was calm and calm, radiating a kind of maternal brilliance.

Looking at his wife, Ji Xun couldn't help but secretly sighed, his woman had finally grown up, he hurriedly got up and helped Shen Yuan to sit by the stove.

"Why is Yu Yu here?" Ji Xun asked softly while warming her hands.

Shen Yuan looked at Ji Xun with a smile, pouted her mouth and said softly, "I can't get used to Liyang City, I'm not familiar with it, I want to go to Beijing for the New Year~~"

Seeing Ji Xun's embarrassment, Shen Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "By the way, Ah Xun, the temperature will drop sharply in a few days, and the river will be frozen again by then. If so, can it be done in one fell swoop?" Take Jinzhou and go to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yuan is sure?" Ji Xun heard Zhu Xiaoyou's words with a gleam in his eyes, and shook Shen Yuan's hand heavily.

"Sure." Shen Yuan answered very positively, with a smile in his almond eyes.

At this time, Niu Zhi asked cautiously, "The princess is good at observing the sky, so you can see how many days this cooling will last? Will there be a blizzard?"

Shen Yuan said, "Two or three days, it won't be too long."

Niu Zhi frowned and shook his head, "It won't work for two or three days, it won't be able to survive the cold, even if it gets hit by a boat and breaks apart, it's useless."

"General Niu, do we want to make a bet?" Shen Yuan narrowed his almond eyes and looked at him with great interest, "Just bet 100 taels, and then we will see who wins and loses, how about it?"

"Okay, let's bet." Niu Zhi looked determined, and explained with a smile after speaking, "But it doesn't mean that I don't want to see the river freeze. My relatives are all in the north, and I want to attack sooner." The capital celebrates the New Year with them."

"I know, I know." Shen Yuan looked at him with a smile, "It's purely to satisfy the gambling mentality, haha." The bet is as it is, the two of them each took out 100 taels and handed it to Ji Xun for safekeeping, and the bet was finalized like this .

On the way back to Liyang City after leaving the camp, Ji Xun held Shen Yuan in his arms and asked her, "The river will definitely not be frozen in two or three days, so tell me what else needs to be done?"
Shen Yuan leaned over to Ji Xun's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his hand to pamper Shen Yuan's pink cheeks.

"How can it take three days? The river should be passable in a few hours."

"Yes." Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Because it only takes a few hours, Zhu Xiangyu will never find out, and it is impossible to prevent it. Then he will be killed by surprise."

"He must be captured alive and handed over to the people he murdered.'
