In the middle of summer that year, Beihu invaded the south.

There are many cowards and lords and factions among Da Rui's ministers, but no matter what their position is, those who can stand on the temple are not fools, and the imperial court also has its own intelligence system, so everyone knows that the war is quietly approaching.

Besides, the Hu people generally choose the season when the water and grass are abundant and the war horses are fat and strong. With all this experience, who doesn't know that there is going to be a war?

For a few months, Da Rui has made some plans in secret. The garrison in the north was strengthened, and the border troops were ready for war.

However, after the war, all the dignitaries realized their mistake:

They still underestimated the intensity of the war.

Beihu poured out of the nest this time, and the cavalry went south with nearly 500,000 people!

Although Da Rui's border army is brave, more than 200,000 people scattered along the long border can only ensure that important passes and state capitals are not lost; Other remote roads that were only garrisoned by small strongholds, or simply undefended because they were little known, became excellent breakthroughs for the Beihu people.

For a time, the entire northern border was full of leaks, and thousands of Hu people broke through the defenses into the deep zone of Da Rui. Many places were lost to enemy raids, including large cities and towns with large populations.

The Beihu people were mainly light cavalry and lacked the ability to siege cities. Therefore, they will not fall in love with each other under the fortified city.

If the raid fails, the Northern Hu cavalry will immediately wander elsewhere in search of their next target. Da Rui's reinforcements could only run for their lives, and when they arrived at the place for help, they often couldn't even see the shadow of a Hu person.

Or, the Beihu people would adopt a strategy of besieging but not attacking, sending large groups of cavalry to intersperse everywhere, taking the initiative to search for and eliminate reinforcements still on the way.

Half a month after the outbreak of the war, the entire north was already in a state of erosion, and the urgent documents flew to the capital like snowflakes.

Xia Fu.

A beautiful teacup was slammed to the ground and ended up in pieces.

It wasn't until Xia Hanxue made a look that the trembling subordinates came over and swept away the porcelain pieces all over the ground.

"Are these all pigs?" Xiao Jing, who was indignant, almost roared: "I asked my father-in-law to help report the information I had early in the morning, and I also took the risk of publishing all kinds of changes in the north in the newspaper, just to remind the adults in the court, and the result was ...... They actually think that this war is still the kind of warm-up that doesn't hurt or itch in previous years! ”

No wonder he was angry.

Lu Shanshan sent news about the movements of the royal court a few months ago, hoping that he could find an opportunity to warn the people of Da Rui to prepare early, and follow the story of the "String High Reward Master" back then, so that Lu Chong would retreat in the face of difficulties and not start the war lightly.

As a result, things went screwed up.

Xiao Jing felt very strange: why did they recognize the problem, but for no reason they underestimated the seriousness of the situation? Could it be that there is something hidden in this?

Ahem, I can't care about that right now.

Xiao Jing, who was uneasy in his heart, walked back and forth in the hall more than a dozen times. At some point after a stick of incense, he stood firmly as if someone had immobilized him.

There's only one thing left for me to do!

Turning back to look at his concerned wife, guilt and tenderness welled up on his cheeks at the same time.

After three years of marriage, the two can barely be regarded as "old husband and wife". Xia Hanxue, who was familiar with her husband's temperament, immediately read the hesitation in his eyes and said, "My husband has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." You and I are husband and wife, no matter what, the concubine body should share some of it for you. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing gently sat beside her and held her slender hand, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Don't hide it from Madame, I want to go to the north for my husband." ”

Panic immediately flashed in Xia Han's snowy eyes, and a pair of hands held by her husband were also suddenly pulled out and held the other party.

The nightmare on the prairie seemed like yesterday. The soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, and now the northern border is full of crises, and the environment is even more sinister than when the two of them fled for their lives, and even the capital, which is still far away from the battle line, has begun to appear refugees from the north, how can she rest assured that Xiao Jing will go north against the trend?

"Can you not go?"

When she said this sentence with difficulty, Xia Hanxue's voice and hands were trembling.

Xiao Jing looked at his beloved wife with pity, and said softly: "You can not go for your husband, but I want to do something for those poor people and the soldiers who are fighting for their lives on the front line." There are some things that can only be done by the husband and the mirror......"

This is not an exaggeration, and it is by no means a boast of himself.

When a country is invaded, the media can play a role that no one can replace.

It can report the heroic deeds of the front line, and boost the people's hearts and morale; It can publish information related to the war situation to avoid civil turmoil due to rumors maliciously fabricated by well-intentioned people; It can also chronicle the tragic situation of the people in the war, so that the whole country will hate the enemy.

Although there are many newspapers in Darui, only the mirror newspaper can do this!

Seeing his firm eyes, Xia Hanxue, who was already a little choked, stopped sobbing, and raised her head again to let the tears that were about to fill slowly dissipate from her eyes.

After a long time, she leaned sideways and imprinted a deep kiss on Xiao Jing's face, and said, "If the husband wants to go, let's go!" You are a first-class good man in the world, and a good man should have such ambition, so that he will not come to the world in vain!

At the time of national crisis, even the women of ordinary people's families will send their beloved to the battlefield, how can concubines be greedy for personal feelings and ignore justice? After you go, the concubine will take care of the family and wait for you to return safely with Yan'er! ”

Xiao Jing's heart was hot. Before Xue'er could give her farewell to her husband, he pulled the jade man into his arms and said softly: "Silly girl, I'll be fine, just wait for your husband to return!" ”

After a slight pause, he said meaningfully: "There are too many new accounts and old accounts with Lu Chong, it's time to calculate the general account!" ”

The next day, Xiao Jing embarked on a journey with more than 20 followers.

This accompanying team is super luxurious on weekdays, but once it enters the war zone, it is okay to encounter a small group of Beihu people, but if it is unfortunate to encounter a large army, it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

If you want to get out of the way, you need not only extraordinary courage, but also a little luck.

According to Xue'er's intentions, she wanted to send all the elites of the Xia family to protect her husband. Xiao Jing felt that this would expose his deeds too much, so he persuaded his wife to talk badly.

Before leaving, he refused Shao Ning's follow, and let his family stare at Qin Ziqian. Although much of the territory in the north is still in Da Rui's hands, communications have gradually been cut off, and the situation may get out of control at any time if the situation deteriorates further, and he does not want others to go into danger with him.

Whip and ride forward.

Lu Chong, I'm here!
