    At the end of the sixth year of Chengyuan, the winter in Daxia became even more chilling. Soldiers and horses were everywhere, and people were displaced everywhere. Some soldiers and horses were galloping, and some were fleeing and huddled.

    "But Mr. Nan, don't move."

    In the small hall of the inn at the foot of a mountain, Xiang Nan and an old servant sat opposite each other. There were two large bundles on the table between them.

    Xiang Nan was looking through his baggage while the old servant was talking.

    "No matter where the guards move, the Sixth Master said that Mr. Nan, your Xuanwu Dao and your white-robed troops should not move."

    Xiang Nan was rummaging around in a big baggage, listening to the old servant talking in pieces, and saying a few words from time to time.

    "Are these the cotton shoes my mother made for me? They are indeed the same as when I was a child, and they are still as ugly."

    "Why is my grandfather's letter in the box? Oh, oh, my grandfather's favorite tea was delivered to me."

    He was able to do three things at once, and he could still raise his head and nod to the old servant.

    "I understand, does Sixth Uncle have any other instructions?"

    The old servant smiled kindly: "It's not an order, it's an explanation. Everything the Sixth Master has to say in detail is in the letter."

    Xiang Nan dug out a few letters in the bag, took one of them and shook it: "Found it."

    When I wanted to open it, there was a guard outside the door announcing: "Someone from the county government office is here."

    Xiang Nan put down the letter and said, "Come in."

    The door curtain was lifted, and an official came in with someone, and unexpectedly brought two charcoal stoves.

    "The county magistrate asked us to send it." The official said, "This post station has been in disrepair for a long time, and the war has made it even more desolate. The house cannot be repaired for a while, but at least it can be warmed up."

    Xiang Nan smiled and thanked him.

    The official asked someone to set up the stove, and then smiled and said, "It's the charcoal specially sent by Mrs. Chu. It's warm and fragrant when burning."

    Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, and the officials left without saying any more words.

    Before the official came in, the old servant had already stood up and stepped aside, watching the scene quietly. At this time, he walked to the stove, stretched out his hand and stroked it: "It's really fragrant. The old man has never used this kind. I'm afraid Linzhou  Neither does the emperor."

    Xiang Nan said: "Mrs. Chu is rich."

    Not long after the stove was put in, the remaining wind and frost on the old servant's face faded away, and his smile broadened a lot, and he said, "It must have been specially given to Mr. Nan by Mrs. Chu."

    Otherwise, how can a small county magistrate be used?  It's just a name.

    Xiang Nanha waved his hand and shook his head: "She doesn't know how."

    The reason why the county magistrate was so polite was to let him bring his troops to intimidate a local wealthy family. The wealthy family is not that wealthy, but they have lush branches and deep roots. They wish they could become a local emperor here

    He didn¡¯t elaborate on these, and the old servant didn¡¯t ask. He looked at the young master in white and thought to himself about his casual answer. This tone of voice made him very familiar with Mrs. Chu.

    Xiang Nan didn't pay attention to what the old servant was thinking. He placed several letters on the table and read them one by one. He looked at the letters written by his parents and grandfather Xiang Jiuding, then looked at Li Mingqi's letters, and pinched Qi Acheng's letters, treating them equally.

    "Not bad, Taiyuan Mansion looks lively."

    "With the troops of the Li family, the Qi family, and the guards of so many aristocratic families listening to orders, the people of Taiyuan Prefecture can rest assured."

    "Does Grandpa have a headache? Are the two eldest ladies difficult to take care of?"

    "However, the letters written by these two ladies are quite righteous and sensible."

    The old servant waved his hand indifferently: "The old man said not to worry about them."

    Xiang Nan nodded: "Yes, no matter how they make trouble, what they do wrong is their own surnames, and what they do is the reputation of our family."

    The old servant looked at the young master, and it seemed that he had not changed from when he was a child. However, as he had grown older and had a few more years of experience, his gentle and jade-like smile was somewhat unreal.

    The old servant didn¡¯t bother to find out what the young master was thinking. No matter what he was thinking, he was only thinking about the Xiang family.

    ¡°Young master, don¡¯t worry about these things being done for outsiders to see.¡± He said, ¡°Let¡¯s read Master Six¡¯s letter.¡±

    Xiang Nan solemnly opened Xiang Yun's letter and read it carefully. His brows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes relaxed, and he looked thoughtful after reading the letter.

    "The battle of Linzhou." He asked, "You really don't need my help?"

    "The Sixth Master said that in fact it is not that easy for the rebels in the capital to attack Linzhou." The old servant said, "As long as we fight this battle, we can use defense as offense."

    Xiang Nan said: "No matter how many rebels there are, there are still great risks in this battle."

     "It doesn't matter if we lose." The old servant said, "In addition to the support from Qishan Southeast Road, Han Xu has asked Jiannan Road to guard Linzhou."

    Xiang Nan asked: "If my uncle leads the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road, the chance of winning will be greater."

    "It's enough to have the name of Jiannan Dao." The old servant shook his head and said, "Young master, please remember to keep Xuanwu Dao and don't leave even half a step."

    Xiang Nan looked at the letter in his hand: "Is uncle really going to attack the capital?"

    Xiang Yun said in the letter that the battle of Linzhou was actually secondary, and the real fighter plane was in the capital.

    After the Battle of Linzhou, no matter who wins or loses, they will fall into chaos. If they lose, they will retreat and wait. If they win, they can go directly to the capital.

    "Where are the soldiers and horses?" Xiang Nan said, "Xuanwu Dao actually doesn't have many soldiers and horses available."

    Xiang Yun did not say this in the letter.

    "Sixth Master is cautious and does not leave anything unfinished on paper." The old servant said, "But I understood him when he was practicing on the map and sand table."

    First of all, if the battle of Linzhou is won, Xiang Yun and Qi Shan will take advantage of the victory to pursue them, Xiang Nan will assist, and the rear will be defended by Jiannan Road.

    Still not enough?  Don't be afraid, there is Wu Ya'er.

    "Wu Ya'er is currently entrenched in Xiangzhou and refuses to take action, but if we really attack the capital, there is no way he will not take action."

    "Why does he occupy Xiangzhou? To station troops and strengthen his power, and to make the emperor rely on him. If the capital is captured, who will still rely on him?"

    "He will definitely come to take credit."

    "But, it's too late. We fought the first battle first, so he can only help us."

    The old servant couldn't help laughing when he said this, and stretched out his hand to lick his fingers.

    "Jiannan Dao who guards Linzhou is our relative, and Qishan was recommended by the governor to form the troops. Who has the most credit? It must be me, the Xiang family."

    Xiang Nan listened with fascination and asked with bright eyes: "Then I will also take credit, right?"

    The old servant said: "Of course Mr. Nan has it."

    Xiang Nan thought: "At that time, did my credit come from the son-in-law of the Governor of Li or the son-in-law of the Governor of Qi?"

    The old servant laughed: "Of course it's both, the young master will bear Li Qi's two great contributions."

    Xiang Nan also laughed loudly: "That's right!"

    "It's a pity that it's not convenient to drink now, so he can only have a simple meal with the old servant, and the old servant who has been working hard will go to rest.

    Chen Er walked in and put a pot of wine on the table with a thud, interrupting Xiang Nan's trance.

    "What are you doing?" Xiang Nan looked at him and said, "If you want to drink, I will punish you."

    Chen Er snorted: "I'm letting you drink it to soothe your sorrows."

    Xiang Nan was puzzled: "Why should I worry about it?"

    Chen Er looked at him sideways: "Every time you receive a letter from home, you always look sad. I am being considerate of you."

    Xiang Nan laughed.

    "Stop pretending, look at your face, it's so long." Chen Er sneered and stretched out his hand to gesture.

    Xiang Nan smiled and took out three walnuts from the bag: "Come on"

    Chen Er waved his hand: "I won't eat."

    Xiang Nan pressed the walnuts on the table: "I'm not asking you to eat them, but I'm asking you, there are three credits in front of you, which one do you want?"

    Credit?  Although Chen Er didn't understand, he stretched out his hand and grabbed all three walnuts: "You are stupid, of course you want them all."

    Xiang Nan chuckled, took one out of his hand, and shook it.

    "I only want one." He said, stuffing the walnuts into his chest and pressing it on a letter. He lowered his head and could see the signature on the envelope through the gap in his clothes, a big Chinese character. He raised his head to interrupt.  Chen Er, "Also, you are wrong. You can drink the wine yourself."

    He handed the wine bottle to Chen Er.

    ¡°I received more than just letters from home today.¡±

    He put his hands on his lips and pulled up the corners of his mouth, making a smile.

    Chen Eryi was startled, and then he understood that he could grin like this

    "Mrs. Chu wrote to you again? What was written was shameful"

    He dropped the walnut wine bottle and went to grab it.

    Xiang Nan jumped away in a few steps: "I won't show you anything shameful!"

    Someone rushed in from outside the door, the door curtain was raised, and the cold wind took the opportunity to enter, making the people in the room shiver.

    "Captain!" the visitor shouted, "Linzhou is starting to fight!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
