Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 45 Pregnancy
  Cai Jing immediately realized what Liu Ling was planning. He heard that during the previous battle with Xiao Qian, Liu Ling took the opportunity to make a fortune, and now he definitely wanted to take this opportunity to rip off the Song Dynasty again.

Although he didn't want to watch Liu Ling's power grow, he also felt that now was not the time for internal fighting. If the Jin people really attacked, Jingzhou and Jizhou had experienced great battles ahead, and the city was dilapidated and undefendable. Zhuozhou would soon be defeated. Be the frontline.

He, Cai Jing, is the magistrate of Zhuozhou. Once the city is lost, he will be punished even if he goes back.

Therefore, his best choice now is to help Liu Ling continuously improve the strength of his soldiers and horses. Thinking of this, Cai Jing couldn't help but write angrily:

Wang Anzhong and others were talkative and provocative. They failed the country and were helpless under the rule of the army. Jin soldiers and horses were about to arrive. Chen Jing was trapped in the isolated city. He felt deeply that he had failed God, so he could only weep and write a book and submit it. Envoy, please pay me your respects before leaving. I may not be able to see the official Tianyan again!
  As soon as he finished writing the letter, he was about to put it in his briefcase and hand it over to send away. Unexpectedly, Liu Ling came in at this time. Seeing that he had finished writing the letter, he reached out and grabbed it. Cai Jing suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I have already followed the instructions." The general said, ask for money and food from Yanshan Mansion."

"You have to add one more here."

Liu Ling placed the letter in front of Cai Jing and pointed to the last paragraph he wrote.

"Add me in."

Previously, Xiao Qian raised his troops from Lulongling and attacked Jingzhou all the way to Shimen Town in Jizhou. The two states had actually been beaten to pieces; in addition, the Jin people had kidnapped from Yanyun before leaving. With a large population, although these two states still have sufficient strategic value, it will be impossible to hold them in a short time.

This also gave a more reasonable explanation for the Jin people's smooth passage through Jizhou and directly to the city of Zhuozhou, but Liu Ling was naturally unwilling to accept that the place he had worked so hard to manage was about to become a war-torn front line.

Regardless of whether the Jin people will be like in history, Liu Ling must be prepared for war.

Historically, the Jin people did not take the initiative to launch an attack during this period, but he saw with his own eyes that the fierce general Wanyan Balisu of the Jin army approached the city with hundreds of cavalry, and then left in a swaggering manner; and at the top of the city The defenders who had undergone long-term training subconsciously showed fear when they saw the golden man appear.

He can find ways to get money, food, armor, weapons, strong bows and crossbows, and even gunpowder weapons, but this military training cannot be done quickly.

He once asked Yang Keshi if he could quickly develop a army of soldiers and horses that could fight the Jin people in the field in a short period of time.

Yang Keshi replied at that time that unless Liu Ling could lead his troops and horses to fight for a year without losing ground against the Jin people of the same size, it would only take one year, and his troops would definitely have the morale and fighting strength. All the best.

Isn't this pure nonsense?

Thinking of this, Liu Ling also felt a headache.

He was sitting in the study when someone knocked on the door lightly. He knew who it was by the sound. Liu Ling sighed, covered the official document and shouted: "Come in."

"Liu Lang." The wife was wearing a blue dress with a jade hairpin in her hair. She looked elegant. She walked in with a bowl of soup in her hand, placed the soup bowl in front of Liu Ling, and whispered: "You haven't eaten all day, drink some soup."

"Can't eat it."

Liu Ling smoothly pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and breathed out some hot air.

Although they are an old couple, the wife's cheeks are still slightly red, and she said angrily: "You are so frivolous, do you want me to feed you?"

The faint scent of makeup and powder came to Liu Ling, and the two hugged each other for a while. The wife let his hands roam all over her body, her breathing became more and more rapid, and she hummed softly from time to time; when Liu Ling picked her up and put her on the desk , she held Liu Ling's hand and said a little awkwardly:

"I have it."

"What did you say?" Liu Ling was stunned.

Seeing him in a daze, Wan Niang's uneasiness suddenly turned into anger. She reached out and pinched him, "I have it, it's yours!"

Liu Ling was still in a daze. After a while, he sat down, stared at Wan Niang, and said slowly: "When did you know about it, and are you telling me now?"

"Just a few days ago, I saw that you were busy, so I was afraid of making a mistake, so I asked a doctor to check your pulse."

The wife was still stunned when she saw him. She didn't look very happy, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"You do not want?"

Liu Ling finally came to his senses, reached out and slapped her butt, and then rubbed it quickly.     “I am very happy.”

He carefully took the wife down and let her sit on a chair. He stood up, scratched his head, and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to get it for you."

He can quickly master horseback riding, archery, and leading troops in battle.

But only in terms of giving birth to children, Liu Ling had never had children in his previous life, so he really had no experience.

Seeing his appearance, Wan Niang sighed, took his hand, and whispered: "You have to stay with me tonight."

"It's okay to sleep with me, but not with anyone else."

"The look of death."

Liu Ling walked outside, temporarily forgetting about Jin Bing, and sent someone to ask for a doctor overnight. He checked the pulse again and confirmed that the wife was pregnant.

He opened his private treasury overnight and asked his steward to bring out baskets of copper coins. He knocked on the doors of the people living on the entire street where the general's residence was located and rewarded them with wedding coins from door to door.

"Congratulations, General, congratulations, Madam!"

More than a dozen maids and servants congratulated each other loudly in the court. Liu Ling waved his hand and each of them gave a large sum of wedding money. The wife stood behind him, just smiling with her lips pursed.

Yelu Huaixian and Liu Wan both took the reward money and looked at each other, seeing the sourness in each other's eyes.

Before leaving, the doctor prescribed anti-fetal medicine, gave instructions on things to pay attention to in daily life, and warned: "I heard that the general only has one wife, but now that she is pregnant, I ask the general to be more restrained in sexual intercourse. It is easy." It’s not good for the wife and the baby in her belly.”

The celebration lasted until late at night. When the news came out, the wealthy families in the city quickly began to prepare gifts to be delivered the next day. Cai Jing rubbed his brows and sat in front of the desk, silently calculating how much money he had left. Finally, he called his son to come and give it to him. ink.

Wang Anzhong and the others filled their own pockets and were full of money. Cai Jing was better than them in that he was really not very greedy.

"Father," Cai Songnian said puzzledly while grinding the ink, "can't we just buy some gifts and send them over? Why do you need to do these all night long, not to mention that Liu Ling may not like them."

"Our family has no money, so we can barely scrape together some money to buy gifts. Liu Ling might think that we are looking down on him."

Cai Jing clicked his tongue, shook his head and said: "As a gift of a calligraphy and painting, Liu Ling will probably think that I am a scholar, so he is too lazy to think about it. Now the Jin people are very likely to go south, and the relationship between me and him , we can’t have any more disagreements.”

Cai Jing wrote there all night.

Liu Ling, on his side, had already helped his wife get into bed, and he slept next to her, yawning and getting ready for bed.

The couple began to sleep under separate quilts tonight.

But after a while, there was a rustle inside the quilt, and Wan Niang thrust something into Liu Ling's hand. With the familiar feel, he realized that it was Wan Niang's bellyband.

Then, the quilt was lifted slightly, and a smooth and soft body lay in his arms. Liu Ling closed his eyes and said helplessly: "The doctor said that you are pregnant, so it is best not to have sex."

The wife rested her head on his arm, the hot air blew slightly on Liu Ling's ears, and her breath was like blue.

"I know that you have been very agitated these past few days. It's hard for you now that you can't have sex."

"You can't have sex, and I didn't say you can't use your hands."

She stretched out her hands to knead Liu Ling's body, and deliberately teased: "Or use your feet?"
