"Captain." As soon as Li Dingguo saw Lu Haoshan, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"Forgive" Lu Haoshan asked curiously: "What are your uncle and nephew hiding here and muttering?"

Li Nian smiled and said, "When you come back to Dongweng, our uncle and nephew are discussing where to eat New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, and we have to accommodate the time. Dingguo still needs to take turns at the camp to take care of the horses."

The people were disbanded, but the camp needed protection and hundreds of horses had to be taken care of. The children recruited from refugees became the main force. Li Dingguo was no exception when he was a training target. Not only did Lu Haoshan not "given a small meal" for him, but he was very strict with him.

Hearing Li Nian's words, Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "No need to discuss it. Just accompany me to have the New Year's Eve dinner in the county government. It's not bad for your two pairs of chopsticks. Besides, it's more lively."

"Dongweng, this is not suitable, right?"

"What's wrong with it? Just settle it." Lu Haoshan said domineeringly. After saying that, he patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said, "Dingguo, what do you want to ask? I'll let the wife do it for you."

Li Dingguo was somewhat flattered and said, "Big Captain, I like to eat meat."

"Okay, guard the barracks and practice martial arts diligently. Then you can make more meat and eat enough." Lu Haoshan said generously.

This kid was the pillar of the army in the future. Lu Haoshan also knew that he was loyal, righteous, and grateful. He naturally had to win more opportunities.

"Yes, captain."

After talking to Li Dingguo's uncle and nephew, Lu Haoshan looked for Tang Qiang again and asked him to pay attention to the safety of the camp. Especially those more than 300 war horses must be watched. Jiang You was a little unfair recently. Lu Haoshan knew that Buzhanni and others were here to command. Although he had "insider", who knew that this guy would not play cards according to the rules and attack his own picket team?

The heart of being on guard against others is indispensable.

Fortunately, Lu Haoshan's worries were unnecessary. The year was peaceful and peaceful. Chinese people were very afraid of suing the New Year. They thought it was unlucky and tried their best to restrain themselves. Even the riots that Lu Haoshan was worried about did not occur. Not to mention riots, there was no such trivial matter as fighting, which gave Lu Haoshan a happy New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Lu Haoshan was not idle either. In addition to taking his wife back to Zhaojia Village to visit his father-in-law and drinking with her relatives and friends, he also had to invite Tang Qiang and others, Li Dingguo’s uncle and nephew, and county government offices. These are all necessary social interactions. Even Lu Haoshan cannot fall into the cliché. There are banquets every day and ate ches every day. Lu Haoshan became a little fatter during the Chinese New Year. On the surface, Lu Haoshan smiled. In fact, Lu Haoshan was not at ease and must have been depressed because he became a "chess piece" used by Han Wendeng.

No one is in a good mood when someone is used. Besides, Lu Haoshan is a human being in his second life. He has a high opinion of himself. Now he has become Han Wendeng's pawn without saying a word, which makes him feel very unbalanced. In fact, Lu Haoshan is the one who is most worried about, that is, he will never die if he kills a tiger, and there will be endless troubles.

Guo Feng can sit in this position. His ability and background are definitely not simple. If Han Wendeng defeats him and causes his counterattack, Han Wendeng's cunning will probably have a perfect solution. It is very likely that he will leave the place of the loser, move a nest, and continue to work hard. Perhaps Guo Feng has some concerns about Han Wendeng, but it is simply too easy to deal with his small county magistrate.

During the Chinese New Year, what Lu Haoshan thought the most was how to improve his status and not be someone else's pawn.

Lu Haoshan's emotions were well concealed. Even Zhao Min, the person next to him, had hidden them, but he did not hide them from the old fox Li Nian around him.

"Dongweng, the student has seen you have a lot of worries recently, and I wonder what you are worried about?" After finding a suitable opportunity, Li Nian asked Lu Haoshan in a low voice.

"Did you see it?"

"Dongweng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were shaking. This was because he had a depression in his heart. If he couldn't tell this, he would be ashamed of Dongweng's generous monthly money." Li Nian said with confidence.

Lu Haoshan nodded, expressed his concerns, and then said hesitantly: "Now I think, if I report something to the commander Guo Feng in the capital early, will this gain greater benefits?"

You are on the first day of the lunar month, and I am on the fifteenth day of the year. Maybe the command of the enemy will make the future bigger.

"No!"

As soon as Lu Haoshan said it, Li Nian flatly refused and said, "Dongweng, you must not. If you take this step, you will probably not have a place for Dongweng to stay."

"Oh, what's the solution?" Lu Haoshan's face sterned and he asked hurriedly.

Li Nian said seriously: "It is no secret that Han Tongzhi is a cautious person. Before he takes this step, he must have left behind. Besides, we are just speculating now that there is no substantial evidence. To sue a second-rank official with a seventh-rank official, that is seeking death. We look for someone to look at Han Tongzhi. Maybe the lord will be in his surveillance. Maybe he will die before he sees the commander. There is no need to take risks. Besides, betray his superiors and colleagues and report them over the level are taboos in the officialdom. Even if he succeeds, Dongweng will be abandoned by Shilin. He will not dare to use you anymore, nor do he want to be with you."

After pausing, Li Nian continued: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with making chess pieces. Judging from the geographical and mountains, this Ming Dynasty is an irregular chessboard. Therefore, the ancients often said that fighting the world is like chess. Every step has a purpose, but whether the effect can be achieved and what changes in the situation is full of suspense. In fact, each of us is a chess piece, including Han Wendeng. He is also a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. It is not bad to make chess pieces. As long as you make a valuable chess piece, you will eventually have a chance to make a success."

Li Nian's words suddenly dispelled Lu Haoshan's concerns. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Mr. Li is right, it's because I am so stubborn."

No matter when, people have constraints, legal constraints, moral constraints, fame constraints, etc. When your power cannot break this constraint, you can only follow the rules of the game set by others and do things under the rules of others, unless you have the ability to make rules.

"This is called the authorities' obsessed, and the bystanders are clear." Li Nian said with a smile: "In fact, it is not a bad thing for Han Wen to ascend to the throne. If he can successfully ascend to the throne, Dongwen will be of great success. Just a little bit of expression will be his confidant, which will be of great help to Dongwen's career."

Lu Haoshan nodded, no longer obsessed with the topic, and asked, "Mr. Li, is there any movement without getting stuck in the mud?"

"Yes, according to the information feedback from Captain Liu, Buzhanni was dispatching troops and scuttled his capable personnel in Shaanxi in batches and preparing to invade with him. Captain Liu has already asked me to open a number of road guides and certificates. According to Captain Liu, two sworn brothers who may not be touched by the mud, the double-winged tiger and the purple gold dragon will also come to Jiangyou Buzhanni to meet up."

Yes, the bigger the stall is, if the double-winged tiger and purple gold dragon come, it will be another heavy hand in the credit book. For Han Wendeng, who set up a behind-the-scenes plan, the bigger the mess, the better, so that his credit will be more conspicuous.

I have changed from a civil service position to a military position, and I have been counting on a Korean Wen app in the near future.

Suddenly, Lu Haoshan seemed to remember something and immediately asked: "Mr. Li, are the things that Eunuch Chen wants ready?"

Busan is actively dispatching troops and generals, and Han Wendeng is also pushing secretly with his invisible hands behind the scenes. Busan Sichuan’s uprising was about to break out. The red cannon that Lu Haoshan remembered was still in the hands of Eunuch Chen. This is a good thing and must not fall into Busan’s hands.

"I was ready yesterday. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the people are unwilling to sell land. They also have some procedures, renovating houses, buying furniture and servants, etc. It sounds like they don't have a big life, but there are a lot of trivial facts, so it took a lot of effort." Li Nian said with a wry smile.

Hehe, it's better to hire a master. If it weren't for Li Nian, Lu Haoshan would have to do all these things. Now, you can live a small life with Zhao Min in the backyard by moving your mouth. Li Nian, who was inconvenient to legs and feet, ran away all the errands. Lu Haoshan originally wanted to give him an assistant, but Li Nian refused. He said he liked the feeling of busyness, so Lu Haoshan had to give him a horse and sedan chair to facilitate his travel.

"Action now" Lu Haoshan said without hesitation: "Transfer the Red Cannons back as soon as possible. By the way, he has more benefits. Try to get more things back. Anyway, they are cheap and not muddy."

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about opening a blank check. Anyway, the greedy Eunuch Chen, who is not able to get it, it is better to be cheaper than outsiders.

"Yes, Dongweng, students will do it right away." Li Nian knew that time was tight and immediately nodded in response.

.........

After the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival is here again. There is a saying in China that the New Year is not considered the New Year. In ancient times, the Lantern Festival was very grand. The Lantern Festival was also called the Lantern Festival. Compared with the Lantern Festival in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Lantern Festival also appeared to be more grand. The Lantern Festival was also in its most prosperous period. The lanterns were set up, the Aoshan Mountains were set off, and the emperor also had the act of "giving all officials the Lantern Festival". Officials and citizens watched the lanterns together, guessed riddles, and young men and women dressed up in makeup, hoping to stage a story of talented men and beautiful women.

Under the auspices of Lu Haoshan, Jiangyou's lanterns attracted many tourists, and even many people came from Pingwu to appreciate them. It can be said that it was very lively and the people were very happy. The sincere smiles seemed to be whether this was the turbulent late Ming Dynasty, but the peaceful and prosperous era.

However, behind the prosperity, there are many conspiracies that are brewing in secret. No matter how beautiful things are, some people want to destroy them. No matter how happy the days are, they cannot fill the gaps of people's greed. No matter how beautiful the lanterns are, they cannot attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

No mud is one of them.

From the moment of deciding to reprise, I was very busy without being stuck in mud. I prepared food and weapons, strengthened my influence among new believers, investigated the land and terrain, and received elite soldiers and generals in Shaanxi, and were busy.
