Chapter 223: Yongzhou Returns

And now...... Has the kingdom of Dijon begun again?

At this moment, everyone's hearts couldn't help but think of General Feng Yao back then.

After a moment, they all looked at Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of General Feng Yao, who died at the hands of Di Rong's army, and Chu Xiaoxiao can be regarded as having a national feud with Di Rong Guo.

Under such circumstances, what kind of attitude does this Huaiyang county lord have?

But to everyone's disappointment, Chu Xiaoxiao was not as indignant as they imagined, but her eyes were cold, and there was no trace of emotion on her face that was used to laughing and scolding on weekdays.

Qin Chengzhi, who was standing beside Chu Xiaoxiao, noticed everyone's gaze, his eyes turned around, and he opened his mouth and said to Teng Ming: "General Teng, Di Rong's barbarian army has invaded the territory, and it should be dealt with by the Northwest Army, I don't know that General Teng ordered me to come and ......."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly distracted.

Qin Chengzhi's words undoubtedly asked the hearts of most of the people present.

Compared with things that have nothing to do with them, everyone is naturally most concerned about themselves.

Teng Ming was silent for nearly a quarter of an hour at first, and then turned to say: "Di Rong sent 300,000 troops to suppress the border, and now it is blocked at the pass of Yonglin Pass and Taxue Pass, and the Northwest Army is 200,000, even if you add the defenders of Taxue Pass and Yonglin Pass, it is less than 300,000 people, Your Majesty specially sent the Shence Battalion to support." ”

As soon as Teng Ming's words were finished, everyone was shocked.

One of the adjutant generals present couldn't help it at that time, and said: "But general, we are the garrison of the capital, how can we ......?"

Although the lieutenant's words were not finished, everyone present understood what he meant.

Generally speaking, the garrison of the capital will never be transferred, because nothing is more important than the safety of His Majesty.

What's more, there are quite a few garrisons in various parts of northern Xinjiang, and there is no reason to transfer the garrisons in the capital all the way.

Moreover, the entire capital adds up to 200,000 soldiers and horses, including the Imperial Forest Army, the Gyeonggi Garrison, the Shence Battalion and the Shenmu Battalion. Although the number of people in the Shence Camp is the largest, it is only less than 100,000 when it is fully counted.

But Teng Ming obviously didn't mean to explain to everyone, but said directly: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while, everyone prepare to prepare, and set off for Yongzhou in three days." ”

After speaking, he directly asked everyone to go back.

Until she came out of the main general's camp, Chu Xiaoxiao still felt a little dizzy, and it seemed a little unreal.

She has only been in the army for more than two months, and she can be regarded as a Taiping soldier for more than two months, and now she is about to fight, and she is still facing the 300,000 army of Dijon Kingdom.

In her previous life, Chu Xiaoxiao had not experienced a large-scale war, in addition to her own missions, she at most led a group of several people to fight, and it was the first time she had encountered such a war of hundreds of thousands.

The time of three days came quickly, and Chu Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to say goodbye to Chu Ci, so she went out with the army.

Because of the presence of the Northwest Army, the soldiers and horses of the Shence Battalion did not need to travel in a hurry, and now the weather is cold, if they are in a hurry, the soldiers can't stand it, so it took half a month for the Shence Battalion to arrive in Yongzhou.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she would come to Yongzhou City again so soon, looking at the tall city in front of her, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

This city, which was once almost turned into a dead city by the Dark Moon, has only just regained some vitality, but it is about to be implicated in the war again.

At present, the war at the border has not yet reached Yongzhou City, but walking on the streets of Yongzhou City, I have already seen chaos.

Shulan City, the border pass, was slaughtered, the people within Yonglin Pass and Taxue Pass fled south, and now the streets of Yongzhou City, which is still relatively comfortable, can be seen everywhere with ragged refugees.

These refugees watched Chu Xiaoxiao and his party in armor and military uniforms walk by, but they didn't even have enough eyelids, and their eyes were already numb.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Chu Xiaoxiao could even imagine what a tragic situation the slaughtered Shulan City must be.

"Captain Chu......"

At this time, in addition to a few soldiers following Chu Xiaoxiao, there were only Sun Yaowu and Wei Rin.

Wei Rin was originally from Yongzhou, and when he was a child, Yongzhou was in constant turmoil, and he was used to such a scene.

It's Sun Yaowu, although Sun Yaowu is from a poor family, but he has always been mixed in the Shence camp. And there has always been no chaos in the capital, and Sun Yaowu has been comfortable for a few years.

So at this time, after Sun Yaowu saw the scene in front of him, his face was inevitably shocked.

"How?"

Just when Sun Yaowu was shocked, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and said to Sun Yaowu.

Sun Yaowu didn't react to Chu Xiaoxiao's meaning for a while, "What?"

Chu Xiaoxiao said: "More than three months ago, the plague in Yongzhou killed tens of thousands of people, which was much more shocking than the scene in front of me. ”

Saying this, Chu Xiaoxiao's expression seemed to be indifferent, but the big bright eyes in the past dimmed a lot.

The most hateful thing about the plague before was that it was spread wantonly.

Listening to Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Sun Yaowu fell silent.

In fact, in such a troubled world, it is actually the people who suffer in the end.

After Chu Xiaoxiao took Wei Rin and Sun Yaowu to walk in Yongzhou City for a long time, they returned to the camp outside the city.

After the soldiers of the Shence Battalion entered Yongzhou, they set up camp in the northwest military camp outside Yongzhou City, less than 20 miles away from Yonglin Pass and Taxue Pass.

This time, the Dirong army suddenly slaughtered Shulan City on the border, and now Shulan City is under the occupation of Dirong State, and now there are only these two checkpoints facing the Dirong barbarian army.

And the commander of the Dirong State and Chu Xiaoxiao in this battle are also acquaintances, Yao Ai himself is the chief general of the Northwest Army, and now he is appointed as the generalissimo of Pingbei, and he is ordered by the emperor to resist the Northern Barbarian Army.

After returning to the barracks, Chu Xiaoxiao dismissed Wei Rin and Sun Yaowu, and sat alone on the empty school field.

Today, Chu Xiaoxiao realized that she really thought everything too simply, she lived to be nearly thirty years old in her previous life, and at such a moment, she was naΓ―ve like a child.

The cold wind in the northwest blew on Chu Xiaoxiao's body one by one, but Chu Xiaoxiao didn't feel the cold at all, instead reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and slapped it on her face, trying to make herself more sober.

At this moment, a joking voice came from my ears.

"How is the snow in the northwest compared to the capital?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao raised her head and saw that it was Yao Ai, who she hadn't seen for a long time, standing beside her.

The first few times, whether it was in the northwest or in the capital, Chu Xiaoxiao saw Yao Ai in high spirits, although the expression on Yao Ai's face at this time was no different from the past, Chu Xiaoxiao could still see that Yao Ai was extremely tired at this time.
