On the border between the country of Jiuping and the country of Woxi, the people of the country of Jiuping still cultivate and sow in the fields as in previous years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they face the loess with their backs to the sky, and their waists are bent low, almost arched. The early spring sun is not as hot as in summer, but it still feels hot at noon.

Some of the seedlings are knee-high, and in a few months, they will be ready to be harvested. The people were busy in the fields and chatting happily, hoping for a good harvest this year.

Some of the people who had worked for half a day straightened up and rested for a while. They will habitually stretch out their hands, build a pergola on their foreheads, and look into the four fields.

On the horizon in the distance, there were a few small black dots.

The people who were still talking happily just now were silent at this time, and their eyes were wide open to carefully observe the black dot in the distance.

As if sensing the abnormality of the people around them, the people who were still bending over to work also straightened up one by one, and they all set up pergolas on their foreheads to carefully observe the uninvited guests in the distance.

"Whoa...... You say, will it be ......?"

"I don't know...... In the past, it was not in this season, but now it is still early spring, and the grain and grass have not yet been harvested, and even if they come, there is no oil or water. The person who said this was obviously already a little frightened, and his voice trembled violently.

"Yes, yes......" Everyone buzzed like a voice of discussion and comfort.

The black dots on the horizon were sparse at first, then more and more, denser and larger. Seemingly. The group was coming in that direction.

As they got closer, they could hear the sound of a boom and their undulating figures on horseback.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted such a sentence first, and in an instant, everyone seemed to be shrouded in fear, and they ran back in fright.

The hoes and iron plows in the fields were not taken care of, and everyone only cared about running back.

However, how could their two legs outrun the four legs of a war horse?

The team on the horizon quickly caught up with these ordinary people. They straddled their horses, some drawing their sabers. Some raised their javelins. Slaughter the people fleeing in the fields as prey.

For a moment, screams rang out, and red blood spilled on the ground, compared with the green crops in the spring. It looks glaring and terrifying.

The group retreated after killing them. Leave the ground desolate.

The same tragedy. It happened several times on the border, causing panic among the people on the border, and everyone dared not go out to farm.

The plan of the year lies in the spring. Seeing that he was about to miss the opportunity for spring planting, Su Guogong was really anxious.

In the Su Guogong Mansion, in the conference hall, Su Changzhen called several of his powerful subordinates to discuss countermeasures together.

"Tell me, how do you deal with it? Yes! The people of Worthy have gone too far this year, they have always only attacked in the autumn harvest and winter season, but they didn't expect to attack in early spring this year. Their intentions are very insidious, that is, they don't want us to plant in the spring, and they want our people to be in fear from the beginning of spring. If you don't plant in spring, where will you harvest in autumn? What do the people on the border live on! ”

The more Su Changzhen spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end he almost threw the cup out of the coffee table, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the subordinates sitting next to him and snatched the teacup, the teacup would have been smashed by now.

"The tactic they are using now is to sneak attack, and they are attacking unarmed civilians. It's hard for us to guard against it! One of the middle-aged men with a fair face continued.

"That's right! Shameful! Why do you harass and kill the people when you come at us soldiers? These Worthy dogs are truly inhuman! "This scolding man, with his chest open, revealing the thick chest hair on his chest, looks like a person with a violent personality.

"Less nonsense! Hurry up and think about it, is there any way to stop them? They will now launch attacks on our people every once in a while, and if we don't have effective countermeasures, we will be eating the court's money in vain. Su Chang interrupted the man's words with a loud voice.

"Su Guogong, according to me, we will return a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! Aren't they harassing our common people? We'll go back! And to harass their common people. The man replied without thinking.

"No way!" Su Changzhen immediately dismissed the idea.

"Why?"

"A large part of the land bordering our country of Jiuping is wilderness, and there is no one of their people to live and cultivate there. Moreover, their people, predominantly nomadic, migrated with the seasons. If we harass them, we have to travel through long wilderness areas, not to mention, we may not be able to find their people. A long-distance run, it may be an empty run. Su Changzhen explained.

The man nodded. What Su Changzhen said was indeed the truth, and it was indeed not a wise move to cross the border to sneak attack.

"In that case, we can only strengthen our precautions." The white-faced middle-aged man on the side said faintly.

"Strengthening precautions is not the best policy." Su Changzhen sighed, "I've thought about this for a long time. First of all, we do not have enough troops at hand, and we will inevitably need to increase our defenses to guard against them. In this way, the forces in our hands will be scattered, and if the Worthy Kingdom takes the opportunity to gather forces to confront us, then we will be crushed in one blow. ”

Everyone nodded, and fell silent for a while.

"Or ...... Shall we borrow troops from the imperial court? After a while, someone said in a deep voice.

Everyone was shocked, it was not impossible to borrow troops from the imperial court, but they had not yet fought a battle, so they had to borrow troops, so they couldn't say anything! When the time comes, the emperor will blame, how can Su Guogong explain? This idea is obviously to put Su Guogong at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, Su Changzhen listened to this suggestion and was furious: "Before the battle, I have to ask the court for help!" Am I, Su Changzhen, a wreck? ”

Everyone was silent. The person who had just made this suggestion also shut up and did not dare to say anything.

"That's it!" Seeing that everyone couldn't think of any constructive opinions, Su Changzhen simply waved his palm and made his own decision, "The best defense is offense." Since he dares to invade my Jiuping Kingdom, then I, Su Changzhen, will definitely let them know how powerful I am. ”

"Su Guogong, do you mean that we are going to launch a counterattack?"

"Exactly!"

"Good!" The man with thick chest hair just now was the first to stand up in support, "We'll call these Worthy dogs back to see if they dare to harass our people." Hum! Tigers don't wield, they treat us as sick cats! (To be continued.) )
