Chapter 261： bodyguard

Chapter 261 Personal Guard

Although Xuanyuandong, the king of Zhenbei, was also a general who was good at using troops, he could not resist the deadly attacks of the North Vietnamese people.

can only lead the soldiers back to the city of Youzhou a month ago. The city walls of Youzhou are strong and guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Beiyue was not able to break through the city gate for a while, but after Beiyue and the others entered, many wild beasts in the mountains of Dongchen Kingdom could be hunted and killed.

This is a treasure for them. The people of Dongchen are only good at farming, not good at hunting, not to mention the deep mountains, no one dares to go into the deep mountains.

Like Chu Lixuan and the others, they hunted a lot of antelopes and tigers on the snowy mountains, and wolves are enough for them to eat and drink spicy food.

Jiang Xinyan thought of something and said to Chu Lixuan: "Husband, no wonder we passed Youzhou more than 20 days ago and saw that the soldiers on the city wall were extremely vicious."

At that time, she thought she was afraid that the refugees would invade the city! Jiang Xinyan also complained that the officers and soldiers defending the city were too tired.

"It's no wonder that Cheng Xianhou and the others can't grab food. The people taught by General Song are good, but the king of Zhenbei has many soldiers!"

What Jiang Xinyan said, Chu Lixuan naturally thought of it, "So, the King of Zhenbei returned to Youzhou City as early as a month ago."

"Husband, we are now backed by the continuous snow-capped mountains. Except for the beasts, there are no enemies. We are guarded by the King Zhenbei of Youzhou Prefecture in front, so it is safe."

"Xinxin, we have to build the castle as soon as possible, and we can't make too much noise."

"What's the matter? As long as the snow melts, we will burn the bricks ourselves. If we need other materials, we will use the space teleport function to transport them."

"Well~ Xinxin said it well, but don't wait for the snow to melt! It's good to dig the snow and dred the bricks."

Chu Lixuan felt that the king of Zhenbei might not be able to hold Youzhou for long, and now the people of North Vietnam go into the deep mountains to hunt wild animals to eat.

How long can you eat the food in the city of Youzhou? If the power disparity is too large, it is possible that the city gate cannot be defended.

If you break the city of Youzhou, then it will be difficult for them to live in peace, not to mention how Dongchen Kingdom suffered heavy losses.

Chu Lixuan was worried in his heart, they are also the subjects of Dongchen now, although they are exiled criminals.

But there are no eggs under the overturned nest. If the North Vietnamese attacked aggressively, it would be difficult for him and his family to be safe.

"Xinxin, do you want to go into the city and see?" Chu Lixuan was anxious, but to satisfy his daughter-in-law's curiosity, he still had to be the first.

"Don't go, the army of Zhenbei in Youzhou City is like a bird frightened now. If I get angry again and get discovered, it will be bad to cause panic."

Jiang Xinyan is a kind person who doesn't want to cause panic because of curiosity and increase their inner pressure.

Chu Lixuan appreciates his little wife's progress and retreat. He will definitely enter Youzhou City, but she is still too young to hold her breath.

"Xinxin~ It's great to have you. After the first day of the new year, let's start burning bricks."

"Hmm!" Jiang Xinyan was depressed.

The couple went back to their grandmother and Jinniang, "Grandma is sleepy tonight, should we all go to bed?"

"Okay, Xuan'er and Yan'er are the New Year's red envelopes for you, you should rest early." The eldest princess is actually not sleepy at all.

Their red envelopes just finished! I sent out red envelopes for the New Year, and received a lot of compliments from the people who received the red envelopes.

is excited! However, it's really getting late, and we have to rest. Tomorrow, I will wait for them to pay New Year's greetings and give them a red envelope.

Niang Jin helped her mother-in-law back to the yard to sleep briskly, while the others were preparing to play by the bonfire until dawn.

They all got the New Year's red envelopes from Chu Lixuan and his wife, and they were so enthusiastic that they didn't feel cold at all.

Chu Lizheng and Chu Lixiang and their children trotted over when they saw Jiang Xinyan.

Chu Lixiang raised his head and said, "Thank you brother and sister-in-law for the red envelope, Xiang'er is very happy."

"Brother Xiang, why are you so happy?" Jiang Xinyan saw the cute baby in a better mood.

"Grandmother and mother said that we will have a little nephew and niece soon, and with a red envelope, we can buy candy for them."

I go! What are they thinking? This body will be sixteen years old after tomorrow!

Jiang Xinyan couldn't help blushing, and she didn't know how to answer when she heard Chu Lixuan's happy voice.

"Well~ then you have to save for two more years. Where can I buy anything now?"

"We don't have much money now! We wanted to save more."

Jiang Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief and teased them again: "Brother Zheng thinks that the red envelopes of your elder brother and I are too small?"

"Sister-in-law, there are quite a lot of red envelopes. There are also red envelopes for New Year's greetings!"

"Haha...Okay, I'll give it later."

"Then we can buy candy, come on, brother and sister-in-law." The milky voice is cute and cute, but what are you talking about!

Chu Lixuan was in a particularly good mood, "You don't need to worry about it, learning more is the key."

The children are pestering Jiang Xinyan to tell stories, as long as it is not spawned, everything can be said.

Jiang Xinyan was extremely happy, and she told a folk story that everyone was fascinated by.

Wei Dabin and Chu Yi were thinking about how to arrange their monthly money and red envelopes. They were second-rank generals with Chu Lixuan before.

The imperial court salary, their official position, the monthly salary is one hundred and sixty taels of silver plus forty-eight stone of food, this amount is not very low, but not high.

If you want to live a luxurious life, it is impossible, not to mention raising personal soldiers or something.

Personal soldiers are private soldiers or secret guards. The imperial court does not give salaries. The number of second-rank generals is less than 300, and the personal soldiers of first-rank generals are less than 500.

General, Hou Ye and Wang Ye's personal soldiers were less than 1,000, and Wei Dabing's personal soldiers before were killed and injured a lot, and about 300 people survived with him.

Most of them are members of their Wei clan or offshoots. They are paid for and subsidized by their family. Now they have connections with the family.

It is not convenient to send food and silver money. Now, more than a dozen have been promoted to second-rank generals, and they have also picked some people, but they are still less than five hundred.

Chu Lixuan meant that the general could keep a thousand guards because he received a monthly salary of two hundred taels and a red envelope of sixty-six taels.

Now, they are all raised by their father and wife, so they negotiated that the red envelope would be 66 coins.

The personal soldiers were first raised by the father and the wife. Chu Lixuan suggested that they open up the wasteland to grow vegetables and sell them to the public.

"Why do you think so much? Anyway, we are all from the Lord, so we can just grow vegetables and eat them together." Xu Chaoyan said.

He likes to train his soldiers every day. What is the difference between a personal soldier and a public soldier!

"Xu Chaoyan is right, let's plant them together first. If they are separated, they may not be able to support themselves." Wei Dabin said.

Lu Chengdi was able to control them in the end. Although he relied on the Lu family's private soldiers, he also had to have imperial edicts and handsome seals!

Thank you very much for the monthly pass of "Across Time and Space" and the recommended tickets of the treasures
