Xu Yujian nodded slightly.

Seeing Shen Xi like this, she couldn't say anything to stop Shen Xi, because she knew that if she said it, she wouldn't really stop Shen Xi, but it would only make Shen Xi more worried.

So......

She only sighed.

Shen Xi hugged Xu Yujian tightly into his arms.

In fact, when he received the letter and knew that this war might be advanced this year, Shen Xi was also a little resistant in his heart.

He wanted to plan their future, but at the same time, he also wanted to be by Xu Yujian's side, watch their first child be born, and enjoy the joy of the birth of the child with her.

But......

Now seeing that Xu Yu is about to give birth in two months, Shen Xi doesn't know if he can wait until that time.

Probably not.

When a woman is in labor, she needs her husband to be by her side the most, but he, who is a husband, is very likely to be thousands of miles away at that time, as long as he thinks of this, Shen Xi also panics with guilt in his heart.

The two embraced each other quietly for a while.

After a long time, Xu Yu saw that he withdrew from Shen Xi's arms, and said softly: "You have your ambitions, and I shouldn't stop you, but it's still the same sentence, no matter what, you have to think about me and the child, and the mother, even if you think of this, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Shen Xi nodded solemnly.

……

After that day, the weather became more and more cold, and the heavy snow continued to fall for a whole day.

After three days, led by the Zhang family, all the prefectures set up porridge sheds outside the good hall in the capital to give porridge to those homeless beggars.

The county king's mansion also set up a porridge shed.

Xu Yu saw that it was naturally impossible to see it in person, this matter was assigned by the county lord of Anyang to be responsible for a steward who was old and serious, I heard that on the day of the start of the soup kitchen, many beggars in the capital were already so hungry that their eyes were green, if it were not for the fact that there were at least two or three families guarding the porridge shacks in various prefectures, I was afraid that the porridge shacks would be crushed by the beggars who swarmed in.

When Jinxin talked about this, he couldn't help frowning, "Master, I heard that the people who came to receive the good porridge are not all beggars, and there are many people who do not lack this bowl or two bowls of porridge at home, and they all took the bowl and had to come to ask for this bowl of porridge to eat, purely to take advantage of it......"

Xu Yujian was not surprised.

In fact, this kind of thing happens every year, and there are always those who like to take advantage, even if it is a bowl of porridge, they always have to take it.

Two years ago, I heard that there was this person who loved to take advantage, in order to get two bowls of good porridge every day, and he didn't want people to see the clues, he was still dressed in tatters, and he smeared his face black.

It's really hard to know what to say.

Fortunately, if it weren't for the fact that the family was really poor and couldn't open the pot, there would be a small number of people who would deliberately take advantage of this, so over the years, I knew that there were so many people mixed in, but no one really had the heart to investigate.

Xu Yu couldn't help but smile lightly when he saw Jinxin's indignant appearance, "It's just that I took advantage of a few bowls of porridge, so I had to endure the cold wind and queue up outside for so long, and I don't know if these people's advantages are taken advantage of." ”

Jinxin thought about it carefully, it was really like this, and he was relieved in the end.

When Xu Yujian and Jinxin were talking about soup porridge, on the post road where a thick layer of snow had accumulated, an errand officer rode a fast horse and rushed to the capital desperately regardless of the cold wind and the falling snow.

The horses galloped so fast that even if there was snow on the road, it was still like a rapid drumbeat, and even those who heard it could not help but feel nervous.

The elder who had the governor along the way, hearing such a voice, could not help but turn up the lamp and look out with a worried face, but only saw a speeding shadow in the dark night.

"But don't let anything happen again!" the old man sighed worriedly.

And in the capital.

On this day, the city gate had only been opened for half an hour, and the guards were yawning and gossiping, when a fast horse galloped into the city from a distance, and the speed was so fast that a cold wind slapped the guards in the face.

"This ......" someone reacted, trying to copy the guy and stop the guy.

At this time, another guard who looked at the older one grabbed the second stunned man and reprimanded: "Are you stupid? Even if you don't see that person's waist card, you should think about who else dares to break into the capital like this at this time, maybe it's ......."

This man did not continue, but the worry on his face could not be suppressed.

At this day, the news that an urgent border pass of 800 miles had been sent to the palace had already spread throughout the capital.

"I heard that something happened to Beiyi, and many people are worried about whether our Daliang and Beiyi are going to war again......"

Xu Yu could hear the sound of the little maids outside talking together.

800 Miles Expedited ......

It seems that the news that Shen Xi got was not wrong, Daliang and Beiyi, I am afraid that there is really going to be a war.

And at this time, in the imperial court, because of this incident, there was also an uproar.

This urgent report was sent from Liaocheng.

Beiyi has been plagued by natural disasters in the past two years, first drought, then snow disaster, especially this year, the heavy snow fell early, Beiyi is located in a place that is three points colder than the coldest place in Daliang, a few heavy snowfalls, Beiyi who is not prepared for this bad weather, not to mention cattle and sheep, even people have frozen to death.

After the snow disaster, one of the most serious problems in Beiyi is food.

There was a big drought in Beiyi this year, and the grain production had been reduced by several percent, but there was no snow disaster, and the people of Beiyi had to find another way out in order to survive.

This way out......

In the hearts of many Beiyi people, it is natural to come to Daliang to burn, kill, capture and plunder.

However, at that time, the first heir to the throne of Beiyi, that is, the eldest prince of Beiyi, strongly advocated friendship with Daliang, and suppressed such a voice.

Unfortunately, the eldest prince, who advocated friendship with Daliang, did not know whether he was frostbitten or fell into the plot of his other brothers during this snow disaster, in short, he died like this.

With the death of the eldest prince, there is naturally only one voice left in Beiyi, that is, to attack Daliang, at least to grab enough food for Beiyi people to survive this winter.

As for the battle for the throne of the other princes......

You have to fill your stomach before you can care about these things, right?

So, five days ago, Beiyi's iron hooves waved south without the slightest preparation of the Liang soldiers, and now they have arrived outside Liaocheng.
