"Thank you, boss, for the wine." Zhao Yu lowered his eyebrows and looked expressionless. He picked up the wine glass and respectfully raised his head and drank it down.

But his heart seemed to be boiling, bubbling and breaking, exploding in waves of joy.

Wei Dabin could hear his heartbeat speeding up and his sour water bubbling out.

"My wife would also like to toast to you and wish you all the best to find the girl you like and get married in the new year."

She picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, her whole body swaying, and a big smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you, Madam Chu, for the wine." All the generals said in unison.

All the generals toasted Chu Lixuan again: "I wish you and your wife a long life together and a son soon."

"Hahaha..." Chu Lixuan smiled happily. Although it was still early to have children, he just liked to hear it!

Chu Lixuan happily raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, poured another glass, raised his glass and said to everyone sitting there.

"All of you here should not have any burden on your heart. Just work hard and do your best to do your own thing. Today's cause and future consequences. If you misunderstood, then just treat it as sincerity between us husband and wife.

Dog, we only hope that this world will be more clear."

He has strong inner strength and everyone can hear what he says clearly.

The couple worked hard and grew more than 20,000 kilograms of rice a day for everyone to eat. It would not be beautiful if they did not train well and put their thoughts elsewhere.

That's why Chu Lixuan beat them during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Wei Dabin also picked up the wine glass: "Wei also offers a glass of wine to everyone sitting here, and wishes everyone a happy new year. My husband and his wife do not ask too much, just do your best."

Chu Yi: "It will be great if you all work hard to farm the land to repay me and my wife. You can eat what you need. Our food can still be eaten next year. You can grow new food yourself."

"Okay, we will definitely not let Mr. Chu and Madam down."

Zhao Yu raised his glass: "I wish everyone will work harder to grow all kinds of food in the new year. If there are people with evil intentions, don't blame Zhao for being ruthless."

His dark and cold voice struck the heartstrings of those who had evil thoughts in their hearts, making them tremble.

Among the tens of thousands of people in the Chu family's army, there is no rat droppings. Their management at all levels is very strict.

Among the refugees taken in on the road, there were several women with evil intentions, and Wei Dabin chopped a few of them off.

Therefore, I don’t know if their family members will be resentful and want to beat them first.

Especially, there are so many girls in the cave, and their eyes are really unpleasant.

The shrews of the Wang family had eaten and drank enough. After hearing Zhao Yu's warning, they had nothing to feel guilty about.

After all, they wallowed around just to eat a few more mouthfuls of food, and now they can eat enough every day.

Taifu Cheng was extremely shocked. Chu Lixuan's men were all extraordinary people! They also cooperated well.

All military generals are educated people. The literary ones are even more talented, and the one named Nie is as good as him in the past.

How difficult is it for Chu Lixuan to dominate a party like this?

The girl in the cave was so frightened that she didn't dare to toast any wine at all, so she could only continue to lower her head and eat fiercely.

There was a bonfire outside and everyone was having a great time, but many people were drunk.

Those who were not drunk took care of the drunk ones. When General Song was drunk, Song Daida helped him go to his assigned room to rest.

Song Yuexia had not yet given birth, so Chu Nu arranged a room for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to live in.

Others could only sit by the campfire or go back to the cave, but no one wanted to leave.

Because Song Mingjiang and Chu Lixiang began to tell everyone the story of Journey to the West.

Taifu Cheng was not drunk and arranged a room for him, but he listened to the two children talking about Journey to the West, which fascinated him.

The happiest people are the eldest princess, grandmother and Jin Niang, who live a better life than they did in the capital.

Chu Lixuan and the others celebrated the New Year happily, with food, drinks and programs. Everyone in the Chu family army felt extremely happy.

Most people in the cave also feel very happy, but a small number of people are not satisfied.

**********

The Lu family army has had a very miserable year. Although they are not cold in the south, they are hungry!

Unable to get military pay, the Lu family, other generals' families, and some aristocratic families donated a lot of food, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

An army of half a million people! They must consume at least more than 200,000 kilograms of rice a day!

Lu Chengdi only took over the Chu family army this year, in order to show that he was doing better than Chu Lixuan.

From the beginning, he squandered military resources lavishly to win over people's hearts and spent all Chu Lixuan's previous inventory.

Unexpectedly, he was so unlucky that he encountered a once-in-a-century locust plague, and even if he wanted to rob, there was no place to rob!

The Yazhou Mansion closest to them had been an empty city a few months ago.

In the Lu Family Army Camp: "General, we can't just sit and wait to starve to death. The Southern Barbarians are scared of us. How about we go grab food?"

"Yes! General, our family has tried its best, but we can no longer squeeze out food."

"The Chinese New Year is about to come. I have to die on the battlefield, and eventually starve to death in the military camp, right?" Isn't that a joke?

Lu Chengdi was also very worried. Did God dislike him?

For the first time, he felt a trace of regret. It was really hard to be a general. He used to follow Chu Lixuan.

I feel that Chu Lixuan is fierce and ruthless, too arbitrary, and too inhumane. He is just like a doormat.

Now, his soldiers dared to force him, "Then which of you will lead the troops to grab food?"

"The general is willing to go."

"Then how many people do you want to take?" Lu Chengdi was also moved. Instead of starving to death, it would be better to grab food.

A few petty generals led an army of 100,000 to press against the Southern Barbarians, hoping to grab more food at once and have a lively New Year.

Although the Nanman people signed a pledge not to invade again, they were still raising their troops and accumulating strength and did not relax their training at all.

Lu Chengdi's Lu family army was hungry again, thinking that the southern barbarians were unprepared and underestimating the enemy was a taboo in military use, so they were beaten to pieces.

The 100,000 troops sent by the Lu family army suffered numerous casualties this time, and the 20,000 soldiers who came back were all defeated.

The Lu family's army has a total of 500,000 soldiers, of which Lu Chengdi drove out just over 30,000 soldiers.

In addition to the nearly 80,000 casualties caused by this sneak attack on the Southern Barbarians, there are now only more than 300,000 people.

Although the food supply has decreased a lot on this day, as a general, if he has no soldiers, what does that mean?

What's more, the Southern Barbarians also threatened to send an envoy to send a letter to Emperor Dongchen later in the year, asking for an explanation, saying that Dongchen broke the contract and invaded their Southern Barbarians.

If war breaks out again, can the hungry Chu army resist the Southern Barbarians? That is impossible.

The sad Lu Chengdi, can he live a comfortable life this year?

He himself was not short of food, but his soldiers could only eat one meal a day.

They complained in a low voice, "How good the Marquis of Zhennan is! It's a little more fierce, but it doesn't starve us."
