"At the end of March, the imperial court dispatched troops from Shandong to attack Xuzhou... Xuzhou is only 400 miles away from Bozhou..." Huo Baodao.

Even if the army is slow to move, it should arrive in Xuzhou by the end of April.

It has been more than three months since then, but he has not fought but besieged the city and has also taken over Xuzhou.

If the imperial army continued to go south to suppress the rebellion, it would not be facing Bozhou.

The Mazhai Lord looked even more solemn.

If that is the case, it will be even more terrifying than the civil storm in Bozhou.

If Bozhou is in trouble, Chuzhou will not be able to defend at all unless all the people stationed in Binjiang are transferred back.

"Wait for the news first, and don't have to send a message to Binjiang first, so as to save a false alarm." said the leader of the Mazhai Village.

Huo Bao nodded, and that's what he meant.

Calculate the time, the main force of the Chuzhou army went south for four days.

Huo Wu and others were already stationed in Binjiang to prepare for war.

Tang Guang's troops have entered Xiaoheshan.

It is estimated that by the end of the half month, several other troops would enter Hezhou and attack several county towns respectively.

"From tomorrow, the camp will be trained, and the city gate guards will double, so you can't capsize in the gutter!"

The Ma Village Master made a decision.

...

The next morning, Huo Bao went to the Children's Barracks early to talk to Hou Xiaoming and Huo Bao.

"Today, I sent a scout to the north and northeast to investigate to see if there were unknown teams entering Chuzhou!"

Huo Bao first ordered Hou Xiaoming.

"Ode to the Lord!"

Huo Bao looked at Huo Bao again: "Zhu Gang and the others are not here, you are responsible for the training, and all the members of the Wolf Warrior Camp are in preparation for the war."

Hou Xiaoming and Huo Bao were shocked.

"Which family in the city wants to cause trouble?" Huo Bao said.

"What a courage!"

Hou Xiaoming was already holding the knife handle, with anger.

Recruiting staff soldiers is the first order from Master Bao. If someone dares to make trouble, it is just a slap in the face of Master Bao, which is really unwilling tolerate.

"Don't be impatient, the crisis is not in the city..."

Huo Bao talked about the abnormal things in Bozhou.

Huo Bao said: "Uncle Bao, Bozhou is too far away, and it is inconvenient to find out the news. Should I send someone to Lingshui? Is there any news on Lingshui?"

Huo Bao nodded: "Uncle Six sent two groups of people out last night, one to Bozhou and the other to Lingshui... I have to wait these days! You two are tight-knit!"

Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming responded seriously.

Li Yuan is here.

It wasn't because I heard something, but because I was a little worried about the young master soldier who had just entered the camp.

"You have to keep an eye on it, save yourself aside from the mistakes and let Master Bao down!"

Huo Bao thought for a while and said, "The recruits are in the first month, no leave is allowed, and no camp is allowed!"

If there is a threat outside, the city must not be in chaos anymore.

With these gentry children in their hands, each family can be more honest.

Li Yuan didn't think so much, just thought Huo Bao wanted to temper the arrogance of these young masters, and smiled and said, "It's better that Master Bao has a way... Our recruits are really hard to train for three or five days. They may be like before. They find a reason to not come when they go home... After a month, the waste will be almost done!"

...

On the official road a hundred miles away from Chuzhou.

A team winds through.

The man in the leader had a bald head, his forehead was shiny, and he rode on the horse and touched his stomach.

A moment later, someone rushed forward: "Marson, I bought the steamed bun, hurry up and put it on!"

A cloth pocket contains several black grain steamed buns.

The man turned over and dismounted, turned around and looked at the people around him.

All the followers' eyes fell on their cloth pockets and swallowed their saliva.

Looking further back, the soldiers were all weak and stood shakingly.

"You can't continue like this! If you continue like this, the men will starve to death if they don't run away! Let's rest on the spot and kill the horses!" the leader said.

"The Marshal...there is another forty miles to be Lingshui...It's good to arrive at Lingshui..." The people around him comforted him.

"Lingshui... don't go to Lingshui! Lingshui has been drought for many years... Hanyang's 3,000 people cannot provide food for chewing, and they even ask for food from Bozhou..."

The bald leader hesitated and looked in another direction.

"Go to Chuzhou! We will meet Mr. Huo Wu!"

...

The whole Chuzhou is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and nothing is seen.

The number of defenders at the city gate increased, and everyone no longer made a fuss like last time.

The main force of the Chuzhou soldiers set off, and the little marshal made trouble for the gentry. I don’t know whose family they prepared for.

...

Huo Bao returned to the prefecture yamen before noon and took Xiuxiu to the Beijing Weilou Building.

I agreed yesterday, but I couldn't say anything.

Xiuxiu said: "I will take a day off today, and I will sort out the account books tomorrow..."

"Well! Is there any news about Grandpa Deng Jinling?"

"Last month, Mr. Jia borrowed 10,000 taels of silver and used it urgently. It seemed to be in order to re-office, and it was paid back in a few days."

When Mr. Deng went to Jinling, Huo Wu personally sent someone to deliver a letter to Jia Yuan and Shi Jin, and asked the two families to take care of one or two.

As soon as he heard about the official affairs, Huo Bao understood.

The thousand households who went south before must have been unable to take up their posts.

Jia Yuan spent money to get in touch with the prefect and replenished thousands of households on behalf of thousands of households.

Huo Bao was silent for a moment.

This method fills the gap...

It's really hard to say black and white in this world.

After talking, the two arrived at the Beijing Weilou Building.

Manager Guo is here and comes to greet him in person.

"Bao Master..."

When he saw Xiuxiu clearly, his expression was a little stiff.

Huo Bao introduced to Xiuxiu: "This is Manager Guo, the descendant of the Imperial Chef..." He said to Manager Guo: "This is my cousin, Mr. Deng's daughter, who came up from Quyang yesterday..."

Manager Guo hurriedly said, "It's Miss Deng..."

Xiuxiu was reserved, nodded to Manager Guo, and followed Huo Bao upstairs.

...

"What do Xiuxiu want to eat?"

"Si Xisha Mai needs it, and there is also a shrimp roll that is crispy and delicious. My cousin looks at it."

The little girl is very straightforward.

Huo Bao looked at Manager Guo: "In addition to these two dishes, add a few more signature dishes and add two plates of desserts."

Manager Guo agreed and would not mention it if he went down.

Xiuxiu leaned over and whispered, "Cousin, he recognized me, but I don't know how much he pretended not to recognize me? Could it be that because my grandfather quarreled with his father, he also held a grudge?"

Huo Bao looked at Xiuxiu, Xu was ten years old, and the year before yesterday was six years old.

This little face is round, and it should be a little different from the age of six or ten.

It is not uncommon to recognize people you have met.

It's just that I don't know each other, it's really a bit strange!
