Chapter 433 Chu Liang, brother and sister meet for the first time

In early May, after simply arranging Quanzhou, the Wei army set out again and headed straight for Jinzhou. The dog emperor had run out of tricks and had no one to call upon, so he could only send 50,000 imperial troops to resist, trying to stop them with the method that Wanqi Shan had used. Unfortunately, Wei Chengyi did not give them any chance at all. He directly divided his troops into several groups and took over the entire Jinzhou in just five days.

At this time, 50,000 Imperial City Army had just arrived. Wei Chengyi would not let them leave, and he personally led 100,000 Wei Family Army to snipe them. The two armies had just clashed, and the Imperial City Army, which had never experienced the baptism of war, surrendered. From then on, Jinzhou became theirs. Like Chu Liang and his men, Wei Chengyi did not advance any further and temporarily ordered the army to station outside Jinzhou City.

The same thing happened to General Peng and General Chen. They captured Qingzhou and Quzhou in late April, and moved towards the last Dazhou and Yizhou in early May. It took them half a month to capture them. The four armies were located in different directions, tightly surrounding the imperial city in the middle. As long as they wanted, they could march to the city at any time, break through the imperial city, and capture the dog emperor alive!

"Madam, General Chu is here to see you."

"Ok?"

On this day, Shen Xiangwan was reading files in the back hall of Jinzhou Prefecture. The nine-month-old children were running around the room in their walkers. Yuan Ying was responsible for watching them. Yuan Yue, who had been out for a while, suddenly ran back in excitement. Shen Xiangwan looked up reflexively, and her pupils suddenly shrank. The man was very tall, probably as tall as Wei Chengyi, and looked very heroic, which was different from the appearance in her memory. But she still recognized him at a glance, Chu Liang, the only person in the original novel who was kind to the original owner and the only person the original owner cared about.

"What? I don't know you anymore?"

Walking up to her, Chu Liang looked down at her with a smile on his face. When he left home to join the army, she was just a skinny and weak little girl, but he didn't expect that she would be so beautiful now. However, no matter how her appearance changed, she was still the sister he would protect all his life.

"elder brother."

Standing up and facing him, Shen Xiangwan's voice was a little tense. Before this, she had imagined many situations of meeting him, but she didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly. Even she was a little slow to react.

"Well, Wanwan has grown up."

Just like when they were little, Chu Liang reached out and rubbed her head, his face and eyes full of doting.

"You're still talking about me. Haven't you changed a lot too?"

Pretending to be annoyed and waving his hand away, Shen Xiangwan pulled him to sit down: "Why are you here?"

Although she had known for a long time that they were stationed in the neighboring Huzhou, she really didn't expect that she would come to Jinzhou in person.

"Ahh..."

"Ahh..."

Before Chu Liang could respond, the two children pushed hard and the walker slid in front of them in an instant. Looking down at the two little ones with red lips and white teeth, Chu Liang bent down and picked up his sister, Xiao Yanyu: "Is this my little niece? Wanwan, she looks exactly like you when you were a child."

"Ahh..."

Seeing his sister being picked up, little Yanqing couldn't stand it anymore. He kicked his legs and kept shouting in the walker. Qingying, who came back with him, bent down and picked him up: "Are you jealous, little guy?"

"Ahh..."

"Snapped···"

"Ha ha···"

Little Yanqing was very lively. While waving his little hands, he slapped Qingying on the face. After a brief pause in the atmosphere, the Chu Liang brother and sister laughed out loud without any image. Even Yuanyue and Yuanying couldn't help but turn their backs and laugh secretly.

"Hey little guy, you dare to hit me, I'll beat your little butt to pieces."

Coming back to her senses, Qingying pretended to be angry and freed up one hand to gently pat him on the butt twice.

"Well···"

Little Yanqing immediately pouted and pretended to cry in front of him. Qingying quickly said, "Oh my little ancestor, please don't cry. Come, Uncle Qing will give you some candy."

As he said that, he actually conjured up a lollipop, unwrapped it and stuffed it into his mouth without asking. Don't ask him where the lollipop came from. If you ask, he asked Shen Xiangwan for it. She always used lollipops to coax the children in the past. During the Chinese New Year, he asked her for a lot of them to coax the children. "Ah ah..."

Taking the lollipop out of his mouth, little Yanqing turned around and rushed towards his sister, as if he wanted to give the lollipop to her.

"Ahh..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yanyu, who was held in Chu Liang's arms, began to squirm. Shen Xiangwan quickly took out another lollipop and gave it to Xiao Yanyu: "Okay, sister already has one, you can eat it yourself."

"Ouch..."

As if he understood what he said, little Yanqing stopped twisting and put the lollipop in his hand into his mouth.

"Brother, put them in the walker, and let's sit down and talk slowly."

"it is good."

Seeing that the two little nephews were only busy eating candies, Chu Liang and Qingying put them back into the walkers one after another. Almost immediately, the little brother and sister ran in the hall. Their movements were so smooth and graceful that Chu Liang and Qingying couldn't help but curl their lips again.

"Brother, Qingying, have some tea."

After several people sat down around the table, Shen Xiangwan poured them a cup of tea. It was already mid-May, and the weather was getting hotter, so they also started drinking herbal tea.

"How have you been these years?"

Picking up the teacup and taking a few sips, Chu Liang asked softly. Even though they communicated almost every month and Yuting had told him many times that her sister was doing well, he still wanted to hear her say it in person.

"It's OK, I just miss you guys a little bit, brother, why didn't senior sister come?"

She didn't want to talk about the past, so Shen Xiangwan calmly diverted his attention.

"The army needs someone to take charge. Yuting, considering that we haven't seen each other for many years, let me come and see you first."

Chu Liang saw through her intention, so he changed the subject and said, "When we go to the Imperial City together, we'll see each other."

Yuting likes Wanwan very much. If it weren't necessary for someone to be in the army, she would not miss the opportunity to see Wanwan.

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan asked casually, "Brother, have you taken over so many states and put them in place? How did you pacify the people?"

Since they sent out their troops, they often exchanged information with each other, but most of the discussions were about conquering cities and territories, and rarely involved issues such as the resettlement of the civilians.

"Don't worry, everything has been put in place, and the people have no complaints."

Giving her a reassuring look, Chu Liang continued, "We had expected this day to come. We have been quietly recruiting 100,000 soldiers since the year before last, and have also secretly recruited many scholars with good character. After the state capital was taken, those scholars were also arranged to various county or prefectural governments."

"As for the people, our approach is similar to yours. We will distribute potato, sweet potato and corn seeds to the people, and send special people to teach them how to plant them. Knowing that those seeds can produce thousands of kilograms per mu, the people are grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and no one has any complaints. These things are all handled by the Yuzhou government. When you reward them in the future, don't leave them out."

At the end, Chu Liang made a little joke that the people are actually very easy to satisfy, and as long as they can be well fed and clothed, they will not rebel.

Why did the Li royal family lose the support of the people? It was because they not only failed to provide food and clothing for the people, but also completely ignored their lives. In addition, local officials were still exploiting them and desperately squeezing the people's fat and blood.

Now that they have come up with high-yield and high-quality varieties that can completely solve the people's food and clothing problems in just one season, how could they possibly complain?
