Compared with Yunzhou, which has no natural barrier, Yaocheng is the place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although abandoning the city is unfair to the people of Yunzhou, but in terms of the overall situation, there is nothing wrong.

But now it seems that this Zhang Qifeng obviously doesn't want to give up lightly, but defending the city is not so simple, the army is stationed, and the grain and grass must keep up, otherwise it will be wasted, and in a few years, tens of thousands of idle officers and soldiers will be able to eat the treasury poor, and it will be much easier for the enemy to attack again.

What's more, this Yunzhou City is too small, and it can't garrison all the troops, and most of the sergeants can only be stationed outside Yunzhou City, and the enemy will sneak attack every once in a while, no matter how easy it is, they will quickly retreat, and it won't take long for this soldier to be as exhausted as a frightened bird.

Of course, retreating to Yaocheng is not without a little drawback, this Yaocheng is still some distance from here, in the middle is the rolling mountains and dense forests, if you give up, the enemy occupies here, with the high mountains and dense forests as a barrier, you can still go to Yaocheng to harass every three or five days, Yaocheng's garrison must not be less, and it is not the best policy for a long time.

This Zhang Qifeng probably wants to use the bandits who are good at sneak attacks to treat others in the way of others, and it is understandable to contain the enemy army first.

Su Yiqing's words made Zhang Qifeng look sideways, it was rare for a little woman to have such insight, so she said: "Since the girl knows that the shape is severe, as a citizen of Dajing, she should make a contribution." ”

"Forgive the little girl, I don't know the general, even if I can help you introduce you, what can I say?" Su Yiqing said softly, "Who can guarantee that the general is not the one who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, those who are forced to be thieves have a handful of bitter tears, many of them are forced by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to be ruined and cornered...... That doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

The consciousness of the bandits is not higher than that of ordinary people, and even some people live to eat a full meal. It doesn't matter who is the emperor in the world, it won't be their turn anyway, and as far as she is concerned, she has no consciousness of sacrifice. Maybe this is her determination to never become a radiant protagonist, she doesn't have the pride to become the protagonist, she just wants to hide aside and live her little life quietly.

Zhang Qifeng probably received the kind of country that is difficult and responsible, even if your whole family is copied and beheaded by the emperor to exterminate the nine clans, you still have to kowtow to thank you for the education, I never thought that someone would say this, I was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Always give it a try." ”

"It's okay to introduce the general, but I don't guarantee any results. Su Yiqing did not refuse for the sake of the people in Yunzhou who could not afford to flee, and thinking about Jing Gang's righteous appearance, maybe he also had this intention.

How to persuade Jing Gang and other bandits to cooperate is Zhang Qifeng's business. Su Yiqing just wrote a letter of invitation, inviting Jing Gang to meet at the small hill outside the city, which was bare on all sides and not suitable for ambush, and seemed sincere. Although no one should have the leisure to calculate a group of bandits at this time, Zhang Qifeng was also in charge of delivering the letter, and she had so far lived in a courtyard where the families of officers and soldiers were housed, because the city was in a mess, and in order to prevent the people from fleeing and causing panic, or if the enemy had the opportunity to sneak in, the city had been closed.

People say that things gather like like, and sometimes you can understand this person better by looking at the people around you, because people can disguise, and people who commit great crimes usually pretend to be better than others. But the people closest to them are not easy to disguise.

Su Yiqing found that the people who lived nearby were all diligent and enthusiastic women, whether they were young ladies or village girls before, they had all been honed to the point that there was no useless waste.

Even Sixi, who began to be uneasy, calmed down under the infection of these enthusiastic women, and devoted themselves to the activities of sewing clothes for the army to do their part, which had a tendency to be brainwashed. Su Yiqing didn't move, first of all, her needlework is very ordinary, and it is easy to prick her fingers if she can't concentrate when she has something in her heart, and if she succeeds in pulling the thread, this credit will be great. There's no need to do these trivial things.

In this way, more than half a month passed, Sixi occasionally mentioned Xiaoqing in the first two days, and then saw that Su Yiqing didn't mention it, so naturally he didn't mention it, those military dependents are the same as ordinary women, they have the enthusiasm to be a matchmaker, and seeing that Sixi people are diligent and can endure hardships, they introduced her to the object, and Sixi was shy and refused at the beginning, and it was a little loose in the back.

One day, Sixi shyly and timidly sewed an insole with an insoles, and when she sewed it, Su Yiqing should have pretended not to see it, but since the two live together now, she is older than Sixi and has seen a little of the world, so she has the obligation to remind Sixi of some things.

Thinking like this, she knocked on Sixi's door and said, "Sixi, can I come in?"

"Please come in. ”

When Su Yiqing entered the door, she found Sixi sitting on the edge of the bed with a handkerchief embroidering, but the futon behind her seemed to be a little messy, slightly bulging in the middle, as if something was hidden. ”

"If I'm free, I'll just embroider something casually, Sister Qiao, please sit down. Sixi is not a good liar, of course she didn't lie, but she was a little weak-hearted, and sat next to her.

"What are you embroidering?" Su Yiqing glanced at the handkerchief in Sixi's hand, it was a lotus.

"I have nothing to do, so I just embroider something and pass the time. Sixi still had a letter, and the embroidery needle accidentally poked his hand, and hurriedly put his finger in his mouth and sucked it.

Su Yiqing sighed and said, "Sixi, let's put it down first, I want to talk to you about something." ”

Sixi put down the needle, still holding the handkerchief in his hand, bowed his head and said, "Sister Qiao, please say something." ”

Su Yiqing looked at Sixi's eyes and said: "This is not Dilian embroidered really beautifully, but Sixi, there are some things to be sincere, on weekdays, embroidery is well embroidered, you can use it yourself, you can give it away, you can also get it to the embroidery village for money, but now that the war is raging, this flashy thing is really not as useful as a few pairs of straw sandals and a few ropes." ”

"Oh, Sister Qiao, I know, I'm ...... I won't embroider handkerchiefs anymore. Sixi said and put away the handkerchief and other things.

Su Yiqing felt that she was really not good at this kind of speechlessness, so she simply said directly: "Sixi, now that the world is in chaos, the two of us can be regarded as having provided for hardships and are also destined, I want to remind you that as a woman, it is right to find a good home, but you must be cautious in everything." In this life, once a woman is wrong, there is no chance to turn back. ”

Sixi, who was poked in the center, turned red with a sudden flush, and his fingers were stirred together. muttered, "Sister Qiao, I'm not...... Do you think I'm a girl who sees things differently?"

Su Yiqing shook her head, it is too extravagant to talk about love and persistence at this time of strict etiquette, Sixi is already much braver than ordinary girls, and it cannot be said that after making the family die for Xiaoqing, they have to be closed for a year or two before looking for new sustenance, the age of the girl's family is here, and there is no time to heal slowly.

Sixi said again: "Sister Qiao, you are a good person, but you don't have to comfort me." I know it's not good for me to be like this, especially Xiaoqing's life and death are still uncertain...... But Sister-in-law Qian is also right, my family's whereabouts are unknown now, and I don't know how long this battle will last, a girl's family...... I don't know what to do. ”

Su Yiqing expressed understanding. In case the army decides to retreat, those military families will definitely have someone to escort them, and they can only ask for more blessings for themselves, in this case, many lonely girls will find a way to go with a man and be able to mix in the military family. Originally, this was true.

But there is a downside to this approach.

"Can you sue me, what kind of person did Sister-in-law Qian tell you?" Su Yiqing still asked clearly first, so as not to make people uneasy, in case this is really a good marriage, why bother talking nonsense to make people feel uneasy.

Speaking of this, Sixi's face turned even redder. He bowed his head and whispered: "He is a school captain, he lives in a stable, he opens a rice shop in the stable, he is the only son in the family at the age of twenty, he has a house and a shop......"

The more Su Yiqing listened, the more frowning her brows became. The conditions are too good, but it will make people suspicious, so he said: "Twenty years old, why haven't you married yet? Not long after the outbreak of this war!"

Sixi said: "Sister-in-law Qian said that he had been a soldier for two years, and he was afraid of delaying other girls, so he didn't marry." ”

"That's even more wrong, since I was afraid of delaying other girls before I became a soldier, and now the war is so urgent, but I have to be in a hurry to say goodbye?" Su Yiqing felt that something was a little inappropriate, and asked again: "Is it decided first, and then return to the old relatives after the war is over?"

Sixi couldn't answer, and said blankly: "Sister-in-law Qian said that because she didn't know how long the war would last, many officers and soldiers wanted to find a daughter-in-law to take care of themselves, saying that many people in the army were like this, and Sister-in-law Qian herself was like this." ”

"My parents are not around, what should I do with this family affair? There is definitely no big red sedan chair hired by the three media, but is there a marriage certificate officially recognized by the government? Or is there any other proof that this family affair is valid?" Su Yiqing saw Sixi's stupid appearance, and sighed, "Sixi, the hired person is a wife and a concubine, and the rules of the big family in the stable are even stricter, different from Yunzhou, the people of Yunzhou are fierce, and the general girl is protected by her father and brother's family, who dares to cheat on marriage, the family will definitely be able to come to the door and beat each other to a pulp, but the stable is different, you said that this person is a captain, he is a petty official, take you back to the stable, and say that your family affairs do not count, you can't be a wife but only a concubine, what will you do when the time comes?"

"But...... He doesn't need to lie to me, now in Yunzhou City, there are many girls in distress, and many people who want to ask for a bite to eat and go with people don't need to be deceived at all. "Sixi is not completely brainless, and many things have also been considered.

"Although there are many girls in distress, but it is not so easy to find a kind and hard-working person, at this time in a hurry to marry, it is likely that you just want to keep a queen, if you can conceive a boy and a girl, if he has anything, there can be a queen, he is a captain, the war is together, there will be some money, and he needs a safe person to help collect. Su Yiqing guessed the possibilities one by one.

Sixi was dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Is this really the case?"

"There will be just in case, or I'll ask someone for you. Su Yiqing felt that she would rather demolish ten temples and not regret a family, that is, for a case, if this little lieutenant's family is really as he said, there is no wife, and his parents are also kind-hearted people, so it is a good thing for Sixi to get married, after all, there is not much choice for a girl like Sixi in troubled times.

Sixi nodded, her eyes were red, she must have been very aggrieved in her heart, and the sudden war made her a good girl's family fall into such a situation, as helpless as duckweed, how could she not be wronged.

Su Yiqing actually has no other way to ask, this kind of trivial matter is not easy to ask Zhang Qifeng, the general, she is looking for Zhang Qifeng's deputy general Pang Jin, this deputy general is a miscellaneous general a lot of time, helping the general deal with trivial matters, and helping them take care of them these days, saying that if there is any difficulty, just ask him for help.

Pang Jin promised to help ask and give him an answer in two days.

As a result, without waiting for Pang Jin's reply, Sixi came to Su Yiqing crying.

Su Yiqing looked like she when she saw her. Guessing what was going on, he sighed, patted her on the back gently, and comforted, "Don't be sad." It's just a liar, and if you didn't fall for it, you escaped, so you should be glad about it. “

Sixi swooped and said: "Just like my sister said, sister-in-law Qian said that as long as you can give birth to a boy and half a girl, are you afraid that the parents in that person's family will not recognize it......?" How stupid am I? ”

Su Yiqing sighed: "You can't say that, you don't have to be presumptuous, everyone has their own strengths in the world." There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to find a good home, but the most important thing is to suit herself, the so-called firewood door to firewood door, wooden door to wooden door, high door to marry a woman and a low door to marry a woman can not be too different. Otherwise, it's going to be hard. ”

Sixi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and after blinking an eye, he suddenly asked: "Sister Qiao, what kind of person is your former father-in-law, who can let you guard for him, he must be a very good person." ”

Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment. She said that she wanted to aspire to observe the festival just to find an excuse to fool the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who like to be matchmakers, and she really had no intention of remarrying after experiencing so much immediately.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qiao, for mentioning your sadness. Sixi hurriedly said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”

Su Yiqing said gloomily: "There is nothing bad to say. In one respect, he was very good and very good to me, but for other external reasons, he could not be the good husband I hoped for. ”

Sixi was confused. Why can't her husband be a good husband in her heart if she is good to herself? Could it be that she has no money, but Sister Qiao doesn't seem to be in love with vanity, otherwise with her appearance, it should be easy to marry a rich man, so she said, "Sister Qiao, isn't it good for you?"

Su Yiqing smiled bitterly, yes, it's not good for her, but how to say it, it should be said that it is not easy for women to be happy if they ask too much, so she said: "Yes, I want to go too much, but Sixi, women still marry a man who likes herself more and is single-minded to herself." ”

was chatting with Sixi, and one broke in from outside, it was the sister-in-law Qian who was the matchmaker for Sixi.

Sister-in-law Qian is about to be in her early thirties, she is still very beautiful, she is dressed in coarse cloth clothes but she is clean, she is very shrewd, she is very shrewd, and she said to Su Yiqing and Sixi when she entered the door: "Two girls, it's all mine, it's me who has a lot of things, I am a matchmaker, what is there to blame for me, don't bother my family, he is fighting for military merit with his life, and begging the girl to be gracious." ”

Sister-in-law Qian said that she was going to kneel down and kowtow to the two.

"Sixi, hurry up and get the money up. Su Yiqing gently pushed Sister-in-law Qian, who was stunned in place.

"Oh!" Sixi reacted, and stepped forward to help Sister-in-law Qian up.

However, Sister-in-law Qian knelt on the ground and said, "If the girl doesn't forgive me, I won't get up and ask the girl for mercy." ”

"Sister-in-law Qian, what's the matter?" Su Yiqing seemed very impatient, she didn't like this kind of inexplicable thing that depended on her, although she intuitively felt that this matter was related to Sixi, and it had nothing to do with her.

People who like to be matchmakers are very dexterous, and sister-in-law Qian is no exception, muttering a lot, Su Yiqing can only understand, it turns out that his man's peak talked to his man, saying that he had to deceive the people during the war, and the last time he faced the enemy, her man was brave, and the award was canceled, and the captain was completely demoted to a small soldier, if it wasn't for the current war, he would have to be dealt with by military law.

After listening to Sister-in-law Qian's words, Su Yiqing said lightly: "Sister-in-law Qian, this is military law, how can women like us interject, but what I don't understand is that according to what you said, although it is a little impolite, but there is no big mistake, why is it punished so severely?

"What can be the secret of this, it is an ordinary marriage, at most, Brother Wang is anxious, and he has not been allowed by the high court, but as long as the Sixi girl agrees, she will definitely tell her father and mother before getting married. When Sister-in-law Qian said this, her eyes didn't dare to look at Su Yiqing.

Although Su Yiqing understood, she didn't argue, but said: "In this case, the punishment is indeed too severe, but neither I nor Sixi have said anything? Could it be that the big war is imminent, and we have to talk about the personal affairs of our children and the cause of breaking the rules in the army? In this way, Sixi and I can't say anything, please forgive my sister-in-law." ”

"No, no. Sister-in-law Qian was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I care, Brother Wang actually has a family affair at home, but the girl was afraid of what Brother Wang would have when he joined the army, so she dragged it and refused to pass the ......door."

Su Yiqing's eyes immediately turned cold, does this want to marry without telling or do you want Sixi to be a concubine?

"Brother Wang doesn't mean to wronged Miss Sixi, you can have two big heads, and Miss Sixi will go first, I am purely kind. Sister-in-law Qian begged, "No matter what, I shouldn't implicate my man, he is a military merit earned with his life." ”

"Oh Sun, please go back. Su Yiqing said coldly, "This is cheating on marriage, bullying Sixi's father and mother are not around and no one is in charge?" If this kind of crime is on weekdays, he will also lose his official position, and he is not wronged, as for your man, if he wants to know anything, he is confused, and the people can be confused, but as a general, he is responsible for the lives of tens of millions of people, but he can't be confused. ”

"Miss Qiao, Miss Sixi, I know it's wrong, it's my fault for all my mistakes, don't punish my man. Sister-in-law Qian was about to cry bitterly, and begged, "If my man and Brother Wang lose their official position because of me, my husband's family will definitely not want me, and the girl will have pity on me, I still have two children at home." ”

Su Yiqing was unmoved: "Men should not be pushed on women to do things, if this Wang Xiaowei asks someone to hide it from Qian Da Shen and Brother Qian when he is a matchmaker, it will be a crime of one degree, if he does not hide it, and Sister-in-law Qian, you are still like this, then you are an accomplice, I don't believe that your man knows nothing about it." ”

"My man really doesn't know anything, just because Brother Wang is ...... It's my sister's brother-in-law, so ...... Ask the girl for mercy, I am just a concubine, if I bring a man from now on, I will definitely be abandoned. Qian Da credited the truth that he usually didn't dare to say, and begged, "The girl is not married, or I will talk to Brother Wang's family, let them quit with the other family, and officially marry the Sixi girl." ”

"Have you considered the girl who is about to be divorced?" After listening to Sister-in-law Qian's last sentence, Su Yiqing suddenly became angry, "If you really want to withdraw from your family, you should retreat first and then talk about other things, I hate it the most in my life, I obviously don't hide this family business, but I am dragged by the interests of all parties, and I hurt other girls, it is naturally nothing to be a man, women, you can marry a few more if you are not a woman, but you are a woman, but you help to abuse people, help people deceive other people's innocent girls as concubines, no matter what the result is, you deserve it." ”

"I know, I deserve to die, the girl will beat or scold the girl, begging the girl to have mercy on my child. Sister-in-law Qian banged her head.

"Sister Qiao. Sixi finally relented, and couldn't help but help begging Su Yiqing, "Just forgive Sister-in-law Qian." ”

"Forgive her, why don't you want to think about it, if you listen to her rhetoric, now you are the one who calls the heavens and the earth, and the earth is not spiritual. Su Yiqing said, "Just now, she was still full of lies, saying that the girl was dragging on and refused to marry before the expedition surnamed Wang, but why didn't the Wang family withdraw from the family? Obviously, because the girl's family is more powerful than his Wang family, the Wang family does not dare to retreat, and has also regressed, if you marry in the past and do not be wronged to be a concubine, which family sues the surname Wang to the yamen in the name of ruining the marriage, would you rather be imprisoned or willing to give up the position of the wife, this kind of thing happens, and in the end it can only be a woman who is wronged. ”

Su Yiqing's fierce voice made Sixi speechless, and Sixi saw Su Yiqing, who had always been gentle, so angry for the first time.

Sister-in-law Qian saw that there was no way to plead, and immediately said with a sad face: "Okay, if you refuse to let me live, I will pretend to die in this house and see how you will behave in the future." ”

"Don't scare me with death, we are different from you, we are just living here temporarily, you die in this house, we have to move a place, and then we are still a good girl who is gentle and polite, and the marriage still breaks through the threshold. Su Yiqing looked at Sister-in-law Qian's forehead was red and swollen, and she looked indifferent.
