"Is this...for me?" Jiang Linyuan looked at the fish on the plate and asked in confusion.The fish was cut into two pieces because it was too long, and it was filled to the brim on the plate. It was poured with soup and garnished with a little chopped green onion, and the fresh fragrance of the fish could be faintly smelled.

Guo Hong nodded, but said: "The general and the old general didn't touch the fish tonight, the general ordered me to bring it to Mr. Jiang after dinner."

Jiang Linyuan took a closer look, and saw that the soup on the fish had solidified a little, and he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. I dare say that this is what the two of them left after eating. Jiang Linyuan thought that Xia Heyu had shown great kindness.

Although he felt ridiculous and helpless in his heart, Jiang Linyuan didn't show it on the face, but took the plate in Guo Hong's hand with both hands, and said: "Then it's hard work for you to send it, thank General Xia and Old General Xia for me .”

Although Jiang Linyuan likes to eat meat, he doesn't like to eat fish, because he hates the smell of fish.So a plate of fat fish was left on the table by Jiang Linyuan.

However, Jiang Linyuan walked around the table, feeling that it would be a waste to leave the fish like this, so he picked up the chopsticks, pushed aside the thick soup and chopped green onion, poured a bowl of white water on it, After clearing the salt on the fish, he took the plate and went to the back of the house.

Behind the house is a wild field with a length and width of only a few steps, and the field is full of weeds.Jiang Linyuan put the fish plate on the ground, while he squatted aside and waited quietly. He vaguely remembered hearing a few cat meows in the evening this evening, so he thought of coming here to try his luck at night.

As a result, Jiang Linyuan's legs were almost numb from squatting there, and only then did he hear the rustling sound of the weeds two steps away, and then a little fluffy head emerged from the grass.Jiang Linyuan hurriedly held his breath, for fear of scaring the cat.

Under the moonlight, the cat stared at Jiang Linyuan with faint green eyes for a moment, then took tentative steps, one step at a time, and carefully came to the big fat fish on the ground, stretching its neck , licked at the fish, then turned to look at Jiang Linyuan, saw that he didn't respond, so he boldly opened his mouth and bit it.

Jiang Linyuan looked at the cat with blinking eyes, and listened to the slight "grunt" sound when it gnawed on the fish. Feeling affectionate, he moved his steps gently and rubbed it over.Hearing the sound, the cat raised its face from the fish, looked at Jiang Linyuan, licked its mouth, and lowered its head again.

Seeing that it was not afraid of him, Jiang Linyuan also became bolder, moved to sit next to the kitten, and picked up a grass leaf at hand.In autumn, the grass leaves had turned yellow and felt a little brittle. Jiang Linyuan carefully pinched the grass leaves with two fingers and tapped the cat's head lightly.

"What do you think he thinks of me?" Jiang Linyuan muttered to the cat, his tone was a bit sleepy, "I thought Xia Heyu was a different person, why do I feel that he still treats me like a kitten and puppy now. "

Of course the cat didn't understand, but felt that Jiang Linyuan was talking, so he raised his head and gave him a "meow", which made Jiang Linyuan laugh silently, threw away the grass leaves in his hand, and gently rubbed the kitten's fluffy hair. head.

After that, the cat would pass by Jiang Linyuan's door from time to time, without bothering Jiang Linyuan, just looking at him indifferently, and then ran off to nowhere.Jiang Linyuan felt sorry for the cat, so he always tried to get some fish to put behind the house, sometimes he would watch it eat, and sometimes he just left it there.

After a period of time, spies from the front came to report that the imperial army was already on the way. They were mostly infantry and archers, and there were about 3 people in total.

As soon as Xia Heyu received the news, he ordered people to secure the gates of the city. The three cities of Qing, Yang, and Wan, no matter the front or the end of the city, were personally selected by Xia Heyu to guard them, for fear of letting any random people in.Tunnels have already been dug between the three cities in order not to have to open the city gates when communicating with each other during wartime.

According to Xia Heyu's meaning, he, Zhang Ling and Bu Chengsi guarded three cities respectively.In fact, Xia Heyu didn't completely trust Bu Chengsi, but this man did take good care of his father and knew how to lead troops. After all, he was a man who could be useful, so he was half of his own. .After all the necessary preparations were made, what Xia Heyu had to do was to wait for the arrival of the imperial army.

This day, Jiang Linyuan was standing on the city wall blowing the wind, watching with great interest the soldiers under the city gate questioning the passing people, Jiang Linyuan could vaguely hear a little conversation between them, but it was not real, confused The wind blows past the ears, so a little comfortable.

In fact, Xia Heyu also came to the city wall. The past two days have been a bit chaotic. He wanted to come here to enjoy the wind, but after stepping on the last step, Xia Heyu saw Jiang Linyuan.

"The battle is imminent, but you are very leisurely, and you still have the mind to blow the wind here." Xia Heyu stared at Jiang Linyuan for a moment and then walked towards him, his footsteps were slightly dragging. He had just come from the training ground, and there was still a layer of dust on his shoes. If you brush it away, you will slightly roll up some smoke and dust when you walk.

Jiang Linyuan didn't turn his head when he heard the voice, he still leaned on the city wall and watched the people coming and going under the city gate, and said in a slightly picky tone: "The general has already made arrangements, what else do others have to worry about?"

Xia Heyu had already walked to Jiang Linyuan's side, and also leaned on the city wall. The wind blowing on the city wall was cool and tinged with some indescribable smell, but it made people feel extremely comfortable.The wind also blew away Xia Heyu's fatigue, which made him feel better, and he had the energy to tease Jiang Linyuan.

"You don't have to say it so easily." Xia Heyu said with half-opened eyes: "When the enemy army comes, I will send you to the battle first, let you be the first among the dead soldiers, and wait until you are shot into a hedgehog by random arrows." Pull it back again?"

"That's fine too." Jiang Linyuan accepted the offer and said, "I just hope that General Xia can remember to write me in the history books. I'm a grassroots person, and I can finally leave a name in the history and shine on the lintel."

Xia Heyu pursed his lips and gave a soft snort, lowered his head, leaned on his arms and squinted his eyes, and continued after a while, "Do you think there is anything wrong with my arrangement?"

Jiang Linyuan ran his fingers along the cracks of a piece of blue bricks, frowned and thought for a while and said, "The general has already thought about it very well, just remember to appease the people staying in the city, don't cause a crisis in the city." good."

Xia Heyu responded by rubbing his head up and down on his arms.

"I'll stay with the general in Wanzhou City, maybe I can help the general." Seeing Xia Heyu's listlessness, Jiang Linyuan said with relief for him.

"What can you do? You can only make things difficult for me." Although Xia Heyu teased Jiang Linyuan like this, he couldn't hide a little smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Just now I was said to be sent to lead the battle, but now I think I'm useless." Jiang Linyuan rubbed his ears and smiled.

Xia Heyu glanced at Jiang Linyuan, and then said after a while, "That's fine."

When Jiang Linyuan heard his answer, he stopped mentioning these words, but said: "By the way, the general gave me the fish two days ago, and I haven't thanked the general yet."

"Fish? What kind of fish?" Xia Heyu asked suspiciously.

"On the night I just came back, the general asked Guo Hong to bring me that fish, why? General, did you forget?" Jiang Linyuan said.

"You said that." Xia Heyu said lazily, "I didn't give it to you. I wanted to eat it but was scolded by my father. The fish was left by him to give you. Thank you and thank him for going."

Jiang Linyuan was a little taken aback, "Old General Xia?"

"Yeah." Xia Heyu continued, "He said that if your name meant 'Linyuan Xianyu', you might like fish, so I sent someone to send it to you."

Jiang Linyuan laughed out loud. He really thought that this old general Xia was very cute, and he also joked about when he became so sensitive.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Heyu asked.

"It's nothing." Jiang Linyuan shook his head, "I just think that the general has a good father."

Xia Heyu turned his head and ignored him, blowing the wind on his own, but vaguely felt that there was something in his heart that he wanted to say to Jiang Linyuan, but it was a messy mess of thousands of threads, and the thread that should be given to Jiang Linyuan and other Things kneaded together and couldn't be distinguished.

Five days later, the imperial court's vanguard troops had arrived not far from Wanzhou City, and when they climbed the tower, they could see a group of troops coming from a distance.

This vanguard force is only about 2000 people. There are no cavalry and archers but mostly infantry.Xia Heyu had already led a group of troops waiting outside the city, and he gave himself a death order in his heart, and he must kill this vanguard to strengthen their morale.

Although logically, as a general, he didn't have to fight in person, Xia Heyu went anyway, and Hengji stood at the forefront of the team, watching the soldiers following him all excited and eager to try.

Standing on the city wall, Jiang Linyuan watched the enemy army slowly approaching in the distance, but he was calm on the surface, but he was also sweating for Xia Heyu in his heart. After all, in Jiang Linyuan's view, this battle was not easy to fight.

It didn't take a stick of incense before the vanguard of the enemy army moved closer. Xia Heyu turned his wrist and stood the iron halberd in his hand straight on the ground. The cold light reflected on the iron halberd made people tremble with fear.

Seeing Xia Heyu's action, the soldiers on the city raised their arms and beat the drums hard.The sound of war drums was like thunder, and the soldiers in the city roared, shouting and killing soaring to the sky.Xia Heyu held his halberd tightly in his hand and pointed in the direction of the enemy. Thousands of people roared and rushed over.

Jiang Linyuan stood on the city wall, his eyes anxiously looking for Xia Heyu's shadow among the massacred people.Xia Heyu fought in the crowd like countless ordinary soldiers, but within a short while, his cheeks were stained with someone's blood.

Jiang Linyuan was suddenly a little angry at Xia Heyu's recklessness, and he didn't think about it. If he died in this battle, he would die in the battle. What should the next people do?After standing there thinking for a moment, Jiang Linyuan borrowed a bow and arrow from a soldier on the city wall, gritted his teeth and pulled the bow in Xia Heyu's direction.
