It's snowing.

A piece of white snowflake fell on Liu Xi's chopsticks, and then slid into the steaming iron pot, and disappeared into the thick soup that was soaked in the bubbling.

After a snowflake, there were continuous snowflakes falling into Lin Yi’s wine cup that was about to deliver the wine to his mouth, and also on Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu’s temples who were already blushing and talking to each other.

"It's great, I'm all happy to drink the wind and snow!"

Lin Yi laughed and drank the wine in the glass in one fell swoop. It seemed that he had really reached a happy place, so he lacked the humility he usually had, and his body was filled with arbitrary and frivolous.

This is how literati should be.

He smiled and said silently. Liu Xi seemed to be infected by Lin Yi. He raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass. "Green Ants New Wine, Red Mud Small Fireworks. It's time to snow in the evening. Can you drink a glass of wine without a drink?"

"Drink together!"

Ma Xiu shouted out first, Xiao Wu and Lin Yi followed him, and the three of them raised the cups full of wine, drank them in big gulps, and then they all burst into laughter.

Although the few people had not drunk alcohol, Sidon, whose face was red, stared at Liu Xi and others who were drunk, and his heart was surging.

In the future, there will be a teacher with such elegance.

Naturally, Liu Xi didn't know what Sidon was thinking. When the wine was finished, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the firewood had been burned, and the iron pot was gone.

A layer of white snow covered the entire world and also covered the remaining half pot of boiled fish soup in the iron pot.

In the sky, a touch of white fish belly slowly emerged between the black. I think it was another day after the snow.

Carrying the cleaned iron pot, Liu Xi walked back with a few drunk people. Fortunately, it was still early at this time, and the cold was not dissipated overnight, and few people came out. Otherwise, what would it be like to be astonished when the elegant city lord carried a big pot in his hand.

On the way back, Liu Xi and Xidun told the imperial edict sent by the Li Tang court and asked him to go back and make some arrangements. Then, after the soldiers from both sides performed a play, the Huns could withdraw back to the grassland.

Sidon naturally responded to this kind of thing. In order to save Liu Xi, he led his army rashly. Although he was taking a gamble, as the emperor of the Huns, Sidon was still a little scared. Now that he heard Liu Xi's arrangement, he felt very at ease.

After returning to the camp, as Liu Xi expected, Tian Xun'er and his daughters who got up to make breakfast were very angry when they saw the stove being taken away.

However, after thinking about it later, I was even more frightened. Tian Xun'er's sleep has never been deep. Someone could steal things from her eyes and ears. Although I don't know that it was just an iron pot and chopsticks, how could I not be prepared for such a skill?

What if the other party is coming to harm Liu Xike?

What's more, when the girls saw that Liu Xi was not in the camp all night, they immediately panicked. Qu Lang found the scouts. After hearing this, the latter's face changed drastically. He took a long sword and bent his bow on his back and was about to hurry the team out of the camp.

For a moment, the entire camp was ready for war.

At this moment, Liu Xi and others appeared slowly. Seeing him holding an iron pot, Tian Xun'er and Wu Shuang'er couldn't help but disappear and giggled.

Liu Xi scratched his head and explained what happened last night. Seeing that he was safe, the two girls and Qin Yiran took the iron pot to make breakfast, while the Scouts sent someone to disband the soldiers.

After breakfast, Liu Xi was about to look for Hua Erlang and ponder about the firearm. After all, if he could make a cannon, it would have to change the whole era.

But before he could take the step, he heard the soldiers outside the door report, saying that the father-in-law who came to pass the order last night had arrived in front of the camp gate.

Ma Sanping came here early in the morning, and Liu Xi immediately understood what he had come. Although Yangqu City was prosperous, it was not a capital city after all. The people around the emperor were like weeds blowing by the spring breeze, one after another. Ma Sanping finally showed his face. If he had been dragged in the north for too long and could not get the credit, his position after returning might have been replaced.

So, Ma Sanping was very anxious.

Since this is the case, Liu Xi decided to put acting early on the agenda, so that Ma Sanping would return to Lanling early, so as to avoid staying in Yangqu City to restrict him.

It attracted Ma Sanping. It was thought that Liu Xi responded to send troops to the Huns last night. Ma Sanping slept well, which made him look much better after days of traveling.

As Liu Xi thought, after a greeting, Ma Sanping expressed his future intentions, "Marty, the year is about to begin. If the Huns do not retreat, it will be a headache. It will not only ruin the joy, but also cause the holy anger. At that time, the young master will be out of order."

It was indeed a person who had been erect from the palace. Although he was tactful, Liu Xi understood that the Xiongnu affairs must be resolved as soon as possible, at least they could not affect the people's joy of welcoming the spring. If this could not be done, it might cause Emperor Tang to be furious and say that he wanted to lose his Ma Sanping's head. In fact, it was also a secret reminder that Liu Xi was ineffective in handling things.

Liu Xi would not say these unknown words, but just responded with a smile, "Don't worry, father-in-law, Liu Xi will do his best to repel the Huns to protect our people of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, I made arrangements overnight last night and prepared some food and grass. I will lead my troops to attack the Huns tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ma Sanping's eyes suddenly lit up, and his pink face was filled with smiles, "Ah, there is a marquis who have taken action. Those Huns have thrown their armor and fled after hearing the wind!"

After receiving Liu Xi's reply, Ma Sanping was in a great mood. After a few more greetings with Liu Xi, he said that he did not dare to delay the serious matter and stood up and left.

Of course, when he left, Liu Xi called Scouts and others, and then told them what he wanted and the veterans who had already become generals.

The soldiers in Yangqu City have a blood feud with the Huns, and it is definitely impossible for both sides to act without using swords and guns, so it is a scene where the leaders of the army seize the opportunity and achieve the scene where the two sides are about to meet, but the Huns can escape.

After carefully studying the location where the Huns' army was stationed and the route of the Huns' evacuation, Liu Xi and others had an idea.

Liu Xi ordered Scouts and others to arrange for troops to be sent, but he compiled a book and wrote down the detailed plan and handed it to Qu Lang, so that he could deliver it to Sidon as soon as possible.

Because they were going to send troops to the Huns, the camp became a bit lively. Many of the soldiers were born and raised in Yangqu City. They had experienced the miserable scenes of the Huns going south back then, so they naturally felt resentment in their hearts. After training for a long time, they were no longer as weak as they were back then. Now they were going to fight against the Huns again, all of whom were thinking of killing more enemies to comfort their relatives in heaven.

Standing in the corridor, Liu Xi heard the excitement of the school grounds, and the thick eyebrows that flew into the clouds were furrowing.

These soldiers always had an irreconcilable hatred with the Huns. If the Li Tang court forced them too hard one day, Liu Xi was not sure that they could use them to deal with the Li Tang army. Moreover, if they wanted to live alone, they had to be strong enough to make the Tang Emperor afraid, and then they had to rely on the Xiongnu army.

Thinking about this, how could Liu Xi not be bothered?

Liu Xi, who couldn't think of an idea, sighed, rubbed his sore head and whispered, hoping that nothing would happen.

At night, Sidon came to take advantage of the night and told Liu Xi that the Xiongnu had already been deployed and would act completely according to the plan, and retreat to the grassland while fighting.

After talking about the battle, Sidon showed embarrassment and hesitated for a long time, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to say.

"But something difficult happened?"

After hearing Liu Xi's question, Sidon blushed and whispered, "Mr., it's the harsh winter, and the grassland is short of clothes and food, so the students..."

After patting his forehead, Liu Xi smiled and said, "Look at my memory. I thought of this two days ago. Tomorrow I will ask Koizumi to prepare and use merchants to transport 500 stones of grain and 3,000 pieces of coats to the grassland. I think you can pass the test temporarily. No matter how much grain and coats you have to raise, you can only wait for a while before sending them."

With Liu Xi's words, Sidon immediately felt grateful and bent over and bowed deeply to Liu Xi, "Thank you, my teacher."

Later, the master and apprentice talked about some scriptures. Liu Xi was very happy to hear that Sidon could explain some truth in many things.

Sidon has always regarded Liu Xi as the smartest person in the world. He will naturally listen to Liu Xi’s teachings tonight.

So, the two of them almost forgot about time until Juer came to pick up Sidon and went back.

Outside the house, the cold wind was blowing, and Juer was holding a blue-patterned jacket in her hand. Liu Xi glanced at it and it didn't seem too thick. He should have been afraid that the Xiongnu's leather cotton coat was too eye-catching, so he bought it in Yangqu City.

"Xun'er, take my white cloak. It's cold and cold, Sidon's body is weak, so he won't be caught in the cold."

Sidon looked panicked, "Mr. Don't..."

Liu Xi waved his hand, "What's wrong? You and I are masters and apprentices, so there is no need for so many courtesy."

After a moment, Tian Xun'er brought the cloak and dressed it up for Sidon. Her generous clothes wrapped Sidon's thin body tightly.

Seeing this, Liu Xi smiled and nodded, "That's better."

Sidon couldn't help but say goodbye to Liu Xi and Tian Xun'er. When he was about to leave, Liu Xi thought about it and called him, "I'm not in the city these days. You can go to the academy to listen to the class more often. When you don't understand something, go to Brother Mengjue."

"The student wrote it down."

After Sidon left, Liu Xi looked at the plan he had made during the day. After he was familiar with it, he went back to his room with Tian Xun'er to rest.

The next day, Liu Xi personally led the army out of the city, and the people were watching the road, which naturally caused a sensation. It was not until ten miles outside the city that the crowd dispersed.

"Sir, the spy came to report that the Huns' camp had retreated five miles."

In front of everyone, the Scout still called him the master, not the young master, according to Liu Xi's wishes, so as not to attract others' suspicion.

Backing five miles, this was a secret code that Sidon gave to Liu Xi, that is, they were ready.

In this way, Liu Xi immediately responded with a smile, "The whole army attacks, follow my horse to step on the grassland!"

Cheers shook the sky, and the horse's hooves roared away.
