Chapter 103

Feng Ge's heart suddenly froze.

This mountain forest is the Fengxian leading to the Jingshi, if the Northern Yan people appear here, doesn't it mean that the Northern Yan people have surrounded the entire Feng County?

If you want to return to Beijing, the tunnel under Lin Xiangyu's bed is already the farthest range that can send people out, but you can still hear the voice of the Beiyan people, doesn't that mean that the people in Feng County are already unable to fly.

If the Northern Yan people have already arrived here...... Doesn't it mean that the Beijing division is in danger?

The more Feng Ge thought about it, the more nervous she became, and hurried back to the city, she was restless waiting for Lin Xiangyu to come back, she couldn't wait for the left, she couldn't wait for the right, her heart was even more anxious, did he know that the Beiyan people had surrounded the entire Feng County?

She thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the Xuantie Camp in person and tell Xiao Yanran about it.

Guan Linsen stood in front of her: "Your Highness has not rested all night, I will go to the Xuantie Camp." ”

"No, they don't know you, they may not believe what you say, what is one night, they want me to do my homework in the palace, and they don't sleep for three or four nights, and they all play. Feng Ge waved his hand, "But you should go with me." ”

Saying that, the two of them went to the Xuantie camp from the tunnel, the exit of the tunnel, there are still a few miles away from the Xuantie camp, there is no horse at this time, Feng Ge don't mention how much she hates herself at this time, she must study hard if she has the opportunity.

Guan Linsen saw that she was anxious, but the steps under her feet were really not fast enough, so he said, "It's better for your subordinates to carry ...... on their backs."

"Okay, that's it. Feng Ge still knows a lot about Guan Linsen's ability, and he is not polite at the moment, Guan Linsen squatted down and carried her on his back, silently lucky, the wind was under his feet, and after a while, he arrived at the Xuantie camp.

It was still a long way from the camp gate, and I heard a voice coming from inside the camp gate: "War preparation! War preparation! Beiyan people! It's Beiyan people!"

The originally dark night sky was reflected in an ominous blood color by countless torches that raised fire in the sky, and clusters of flames, like stars on the ground, looked at it from afar, like the ominous star in the sky falling on the earth. Across the tall city walls, the red flames in the hands of the two sides are generally the same, but the two sides are a life-and-death confrontation.

One side is attacking, the Northern Yan people have lived in the grassland desert outside the pass for a long time, the cattle and sheep are herds, the people are strong and the horses are strong, but they rely on the sky to eat, nomadic herding all day long, how much cattle and sheep enter, how much they come out, the so-called savings, but the beef and mutton jerky and cheese and other things, if the cold wind and snow come in advance, even for the family's livestock to reserve forage for the winter, once the wind and clouds change color, the climate is not satisfactory, then the whole family loses the source of life, the vast and fertile land in the pass deeply attracts them.

I heard that there is an abundant water network, and it will never face the dilemma of having no water to use and no water to drink because of a temporary drought.

I heard that the climate there is mild, and the winter wind is gentle like a sympathetic hand, and even if you are very old, you will not be deeply carved on your face by the wind like a knife.

I heard that there are inexhaustible gold and silver treasures, and every city has a huge bazaar, in the bazaar, there are several sets of magical clothes that do not feel heavy, which is completely different from the thick layer of sheepskin jackets, and there are delicious and exquisite food, which is a delicacy that the common people of Beiyan who eat beef and mutton dipped in salt all day long can not imagine.

I heard that the people who live there don't need to move twice a year, so the house is full of luxurious decorations and all kinds of utensils that are convenient for life, even if it is the Heavenly Palace.

Heard...... The people there, pay attention to the morality of the people, can mouth cannon never move, weekdays to read and understand etiquette as the key, not to martial arts as the intention, and even a few years ago, the country's strongest Hanshan Iron Cavalry Marshal was beheaded, from then on, the court above, the status of the military generals is nothing, under the royal ranks, there are few military generals. Even if a military general goes out to fight, he must supervise the army with civilian officials, and those civilian officials, who are as timid as rats, are afraid that the protracted war will affect the huge military expenditure on national revenue, and then affect their personal glory and wealth.

Military generals can't fight, and civil officials are afraid of death, if they want to take Daheng, it's easy!

Seeing that this winter is coming earlier than usual, and the grassland will be frozen again, why not go south for the winter?

Yes, go south for the winter! Wear gorgeous clothes in the high house of Hengguo, eat delicious food and hug Meiji, and spend the winter!

All the people in Beiyan were agitated under such bewitchment.

All the people are soldiers, all the Beiyan men over the age of fourteen, without the royal family saying anything, they put down the shepherd's whip, bid farewell to their mother and wife who were weaving wool and milking at home, held their swords, and followed the king of the Southern Court from the grassland desert to the northern pass of the Great Heng Kingdom - Xuantieying in Fengxian County.

One side is guarded, Daheng has been an agrarian society since ancient times, and the people just want to live their lives in peace and security on this land, as long as they are not oppressed to the point that there is no way to continue their lives, they are willing to bear all the misfortunes and accidents silently, until they can no longer bear it, and there is no way to retreat. What they wish for in life is nothing more than the peace of the country and the people, and the peace of the world. They have their own rules of etiquette and their own cultural traditions.

In the event of a natural disaster, what he thinks about is not to rob others, but to develop science and technology with his own hands, to make a waterwheel in order to fight drought, to build embankments and artificial canals for flood control, and now there is a slight drought or flood in a certain area of Dahengguo, local officials and people can deal with it themselves, and there is no need to alarm the central six departments of the Beijing Division, and when the emperor knows about the disaster, it is often a post-event report after the treatment.

People who do not work hard are spurned and despised in the people of Daheng Kingdom, bandits and bandits have always been the object of everyone's shouting, although the land is rich and fertile, but it is the result of the people's ancestors, relying on their hands to work hard, rather than waiting for the benefits to fall from the sky.

Such a common people are usually reciprocated, gentle and frugal, and if someone wants to forcibly seize the fruits of their labor, they can also kill the red eye if they resist.

There are also people who don't want to fight and say that even if the Northern Yan people occupy the capital division, for ordinary people, it is just a change of emperor in the imperial city, and it will not have any impact on the lives of ordinary people.

But soon, the legend about the Northern Yan people spread among the people, and the content was bloody one by one:

I heard that the Northern Yan people kill people without blinking, if the city attacked has a little resistance, after the city is broken, no one will survive, and all of them will be slaughtered. If the Beiyan people had just arrived, they would open the city and surrender without resistance, except for the children in the city who were under the wheels and would not be killed, and the rest of the men and women would not be left. When surrender and desperate resistance result in a result, the people of Daheng will naturally not choose to be captured and slaughtered.

After hearing that the Northern Yan people occupied the land, the first thing they did was to loot the treasures, burn the documents and classics, and pass through the scorched earth with blood.

I heard that the people of Beiyan treated the children of the original land like cattle, sheep and livestock, and had to bear heavy labor at a young age, even those children of the surrendered city whose height was not as tall as a wheel, they often did not live to adulthood.

The most important thing for the people of Daheng is the continuation of the incense of their ancestors, and they also value the maintenance and stability of their own cultural traditions. Give up all unrealistic illusions, let go of the innocence that you can continue to live a peaceful life by surrendering, pick up the weapons in your hands, and do your best to keep the Beiyan people out of the country forever, this is the wish of all the people in Feng County now.

Even if you don't know what it means to be a farmer in the world,

Even if you don't care who is sitting in the imperial city,

Even if it's just a merchant in the market,

Even if you are a student in the study,

There is only one belief in everyone's hearts: no matter what, to block the attacking Beiyan people, no matter what, to keep their ancestral homes, no matter what...... Can't let them step into Daheng!

In the Xuantie Battalion, it is already united, Xiao Yanran's training these days has had an effect, the soldiers Feng Ge is looking at in front of him, although they are not as good as those veterans who have been in war for a long time at the beginning of the founding of the country, but they also have the edge and brilliance of the newly cast blade that has just come out of the sheath, and the spirit exuded by everyone is completely different from the decadent and lazy appearance she saw when she first visited the Xuantie Camp, and the atmosphere is new.

It seems that Xiao Yanran is really a talent.

Feng Ge sighed in her heart, the sentry who was patrolling and guarding found her, and a loud shout came from the sentry: "What person!"

With this loud shout, there was a sound of the bowstring being tightened around, and after listening carefully, at least a dozen bows had been bent into a full moon, and the arrows were facing her and Guan Linsen, Feng Ge looked up at the sentry and showed the jade plaque in his hand: "I have something to come and meet the guard general." ”

Not long after, Xiao Yanran, who got the news, came out of the camp to see her, followed by Lin Xiangyu, and when she saw Feng Ge, Xiao Yanran was a little surprised: "It's very dangerous here, why is Your Highness here, hurry back to Beijing." ”

"There's no going back. The corners of Feng Ge's mouth raised slightly, and she informed Xiao Yanran about the Northern Yan army she had found in the mountains and forests connecting Feng County and the capital.

From his face, it was obvious that he didn't know about this matter, there were not many people in the Xuantie Battalion, and even fewer scouts, all of them had been thrown into the front line, where was there still room to figure out what was going on.

Seeing him so worried, Feng Ge no longer understands military affairs, and he also knows that the current situation is not optimistic, for a while, the atmosphere is very solemn, not far away is the neighing of horses, and the place where these four people are standing, there is a suffocating dead silence before the arrival of death.

"If I'm not mistaken, General Xiao is just a partial general in the Xuantie Battalion, so why don't you tell the boss first about such a troublesome thing, so that he can also be worried?" Feng Ge half-jokingly reminded Xiao Yanran that he should quickly inform Gao Dexing, the commander of the Xuantie Battalion, of this military situation.

It's okay not to mention the boss, but when it comes to the boss, the wrinkles between Xiao Yanran's eyebrows deepened a little: "Marshal Gao, he is no longer in the Xuantie Camp." ”

"What?" Feng Ge was surprised, as the marshal of the army on the edge of the town, he was never allowed to leave without an order, she asked, "I guess I was transferred after I left?"

"I wasn't transferred," Xiao Yanran sighed heavily, "I'm the one in charge now." ”

Feng Ge blinked: "Gao Shuai, haven't you sacrificed your life for the country?" "It's impossible, during the time he left, the Northern Yan people only attacked the Western Xia, it is said that the Northern Yan people will not fight on both sides, and fight against the Western Xia and Daheng at the same time, no matter how powerful the Northern Yan people are, the national strength is not enough to support them to make trouble like this. However, if it wasn't for the war, why would the boss die, it wouldn't be because of illness or choking, right?

"He is very good, and now he should eat and drink spicy food with His Royal Highness King Law in the capital. Xiao Yanran's tone was full of resentment.

There is no need to ask anymore, and I know what happened, in order to clear the obstacles for the Northern Yan people to enter the customs, King Law even brought the commander of the Xuantie Battalion into Beijing, so that the Xuantie Battalion, which was already lax in discipline, was completely leaderless, and there was no army with a strong commander, no matter how well equipped and strong the individual combat ability was, it was just an iron puppet that had not been activated, not to mention that the Xuantie Battalion was not even as good as an iron puppet, at most it was a rag doll.

Feng Ge, who originally thought that the outcome of the battle was about fifty to fifty percent, suddenly cooled down in her heart, and as soon as the words "maybe she will lose" jumped out of her mind, she was hurriedly erased by herself, and the change in her expression was in the fire light that was enough to illuminate the mountains and rivers, and Xiao Yanran couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't understand the horror of war, and the momentary change on her face is enough to show that she is not an ignorant and fearless, but she, a royal eldest princess born in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of a woman, has been cared for like a treasure until she is a teenager, but she is afraid that she has never even seen the scene of killing chickens and fish, but she can maintain her composure under such urgency, which is enough to see people.

Fengxian was heavily surrounded, and the carrier pigeon released by Lin Xiangyu was probably the only chance for this city to be transmitted to Jingshi for the first time.

There are towering mountains around the city, under the moonlight, the shadow of the mountain is firmly shrouded in this pass, like the clouds of war pressing on the hearts of every Guancheng soldier, in this Guancheng, there are only five or six veterans, really very old soldiers, already more than sixty years old, only doing logistics work in the gang head army, they no longer have enough physical strength to fight on the battlefield like young people, and they have not experienced too many wars in their young years, the only one of them who has seen blood, only one person, that year, he was only thirteen years old, it was the last large-scale war of the Great Heng Kingdom, after that, the Great Heng Kingdom was calmAs long as you carry a weapon to the position, scold each other with melon seeds, and when it comes to dinner at night, you will carry your weapon and return to the camp to eat like a peasant who returns late.

If the next day is not over, the soldiers on both sides will exchange ideas about what they had eaten the night before, and laugh at each other for not eating well.

And now, it's completely different, and you really have to go through the test of blood and fire.

Whether these soldiers, who are accustomed to living a peaceful life, can really shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country, even Xiao Yanran herself is very uncertain.

Now the only wish is to be able to drag on day by day, and the Xuantie battalion will do its best to hold back the army of the Northern Yan, so that the rear will have time to mobilize troops and horses, and drag the Northern Yan people away from the Beijing division as much as possible.

Looking at the neat queue of soldiers in the battalion, they wielded spears and wielded their spears, their steps were uniform, their morale was high, and they had almost no shortcomings except for their small number and little experience in the battle. However, there are only two flaws, and they are also the most fatal.

"Since Feng County has been surrounded, then please ask Your Highness to sit in Feng County, at least it will be safer. Xiao Yanran said.

Feng Ge nodded: "I don't know how to fight, it's useless to keep it here, and I want you to be distracted and take care of it." ”

"The lower official and His Highness will go back together. Lin Xiangyu saluted Xiao Yanran, "The front line will be entrusted to Captain Xiao." ”

"It is incumbent upon us. Xiao Yanran arched her hand.

Feng Ge was about to leave, when he suddenly looked at Guan Linsen beside him: "You stay." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Guan Linsen, Lin Xiangyu and Xiao Yanran's faces showed surprise, Guan Linsen looked at Feng Ge: "My subordinates are the secret guards of the eldest princess, and I dare not leave my post without permission." ”

"You should leave, this time it is the order of the lonely king, not counting your unauthorized departure, the lonely king ordered you to stay in the army, and obey the dispatch of Xiao Yanran, the captain of Yulu. Feng Ge didn't see the slightest hint of joking on his face, nor did he seem to be angry.

Guan Linsen didn't know what Feng Ge meant, at such a critical juncture, he actually transferred himself away from his side, although Feng County was more peaceful than the front line, but the war was together, Feng County was surrounded, and the food in the city was limited at that time, for a mouthful of food, if the hungry people made something happen, it was difficult to say.

"Your Highness, I'm ......" He still wanted to work hard and stay by Feng Ge's side.

Feng Ge looked at him: "Don't let people say that you came in by my connection, go, make war achievements, and then come back to see me." ”

Then, he didn't say a second word to him, only said to Lin Xiangyu: "Go." ”

After saying that, he strode forward firmly, Guan Linsen, who had been with Feng Ge for more than half a year, had never seen Feng Ge give such a firm order, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just stood there stunned, looking at the back of Feng Ge and Lin Xiangyu leaving, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Guan Linsen's participation in the selection of the royal secret guard is to be able to turn from darkness to light in the future, as the commander of the Great Interior, guarding the imperial city, although he cannot reproduce the past glory of the Guan family, at least he can pick up martial arts again, so that the glory of the military family will not fall.
