That night, these fifty-one people arrived at the closed city, and Liu Nianru ordered to stay here for one night and then hurry tomorrow, because the Northern Army is also a human being, if you travel for a long time, you will only have a sense of fatigue, and this return is long, I don't know if there will be danger, so Liu Nianru needs to let these Northern Expeditionary Army have a good state and be ready to fight at any time.

It's really because this time the grain and grass are really very important for the Northern Army, if not, then the Northern Army may be trapped and then end up starving to death in the border city.

Therefore, this time the grain and grass must be successfully brought back.

……

Capital.

Xiao Heng escorted the military pay out of the way out of the way for more than a day, and was robbed by bandits somewhere, in addition to taking away a few boxes, the group of bandits even set fire to other things that could not be taken away in front of them.

This incident was transmitted back to the Beijing Division, and for a time the people were indignant, and a passion for exterminating the bandits and bandits surged angrily, and the emperor complied with the will of the people and sent General Liu to eliminate the bandits, and many people resolutely joined the action of suppressing the bandits.

In addition, there are also people who spontaneously organized activities to donate materials, because the treasury was empty after the last military salary, and the emperor bluntly said that there was no way to issue military salaries again, so with this donation, although these are not as good as the previous ones, but it is better than nothing.

Xiao Heng took the blame and once again escorted the military rations raised by the people to the northeast.

There are also some dart bureaus who took the initiative to take over this task and escort this batch of military rations for free.

Before Xiao Heng left, the emperor instructed him to send military rations to the frontier city to solve the urgent needs of the northern army.

The emperor's approach undoubtedly enhanced his credibility among the people, increased his prestige, and gained a large wave of goodwill from the people.

The people of Beijing sent Xiao Heng's convoy out of the city, and everyone's patriotism was stimulated, watching the convoy go away, they were silent at the city gate for a few minutes before they began to walk back and do their own work.

As for what exactly is in that box, I have to ask Xiao Heng.

Anyway, Xiao Heng definitely didn't want to see Duan Bailan get better, and he should really give the Northern Army a "surprise".

……

Frontier City.

One more day, the day when the barbarian king said that he was going to attack, the atmosphere in the frontier city was extremely tense.

Duan Bailan had informed him in advance, and the people were all bored at home, and they didn't take them out at all, for fear that they would die on the street.

And the Northern Army, maintaining the previous schedule, training and resting, although there is a tense atmosphere permeating, but they are the Northern Army, how can they mess up because of a letter from the enemy.

And Duan Bailan was in the room at the moment having a meeting with Chen Qin and Wang Xun.

"If what the barbarian king said is true, maybe they will attack from here in three ways." Wang Xun pointed to a few dots on the unfolded map.

"Hmm." Duan Bailan nodded, "We also have to be prepared to be attacked at any time." ”

Duan Bailan pointed to a hidden path.

After pondering for a while, Duan Bailan spoke again, "In this way, Wang Xun, you lead a team to control the left wing,

Chen Qin led the team to the right wing, we don't know their specific actions, and we will adapt to the situation when the time comes. ”

"Yes." Two should arrive.

……

Time passed quickly, and Liu Nianru would probably need half a day to return to Frontier City, but it was ......

There was a bit of an accident.

There was a car pulling military rations on the road accidentally overturned, and a carriage behind it didn't have time to brake, and hit it directly, which made everyone clean up for a while, it was nothing, but after this collision in the back, the carriage was completely scrapped and unusable.

Liu Nianru redistributed the truckloads, and at this time, several of the northern soldiers began to walk, because the horses needed to be loaded.

In this way, Liu Nianru's marching speed inevitably slowed down, and it took noon or night the next day to reach Frontier City.

Liu Nianru frowned, and there was always a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, which made her a little upset.

Will...... What is going to happen?

……

Liu Nianru was still working the march, but Duan Bailan had already encountered the barbarian army here.

The hand-to-hand combat was stained with blood.

Duan Bailan and the barbarian king were inseparable, and Wang Xun was originally good at containing the enemy army on the left flank, but a team came out of nowhere to attack Wang Xun from the flank. The Northern Army was defeated and was broken into the camp.

Because of the changes on Wang Xun's side, Chen Qin was vigilant, and the sneak attack on the right flank was unsuccessful, and he successfully repelled the sneak attack team.

……

The wheels and the horse's hooves contrasted with each other, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves blinded the eyes of several people.

The uneasiness in Liu Nianru's heart became more and more intense, in the end...... What's wrong?

Could it be that something is wrong with Frontier City?

"It's almost there, let's work harder." Liu Nianru encouraged the Northern Army, and since that feeling came out, Liu Nianru urged the Northern Army to march, not daring to pause for a moment.

"Yes." This response was already a little weak, after all, everyone was tired from the long march.

Although he said before that he wanted to let the Northern Army get full news, at this time, Liu Nianru couldn't think about it so much.

In the border city, it was the dead of night, and at the city gate, a convoy slowly drove out of the night, knocking on the city gate, breaking the originally peaceful night.

The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, and Liu Nianru, the fifty-one people, finally returned to the frontier city.

"What's wrong?" Liu Nianru grabbed a soldier defending the city and asked.

The soldier's expression was a little complicated, no, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he was grief.

"Today...... The big war with the barbarians, we were going to a lot of brothers. ”

This sentence was like five thunderbolts hitting the hearts of these fifty-one people fiercely.

"What about Duan Bailan? How is he, is he hurt? Unconsciously, the force on Liu Nianru's hand increased a lot.

"Miss Liu, the prince is fine, but he was also a little injured." The soldier said.

"Thank you, and for your hard work." Liu Nianru didn't know what else she could say, so she only said this in the end

A few words.

Liu Nianru led the fifty people to put the grain and grass back into the granary, and then returned to the station, and no one spoke along the way.

These fifty-one people returned to the place where the Northern Army was stationed, and everyone here was in a hurry with solemn expressions.

Liu Nianru came directly to Duan Bailan's room, and the remaining fifty people were walking around here, doing what they could.

"How's it going, does it hurt?" When Liu Nianru entered the house, Duan Bailan was worried about the map, sounding like he was summing up today's battle.
