General Zhenguo's words made the faces of a large circle of generals around him look ugly. They knew that the imperial court was short of money, and the expenses of the northern garrison were actually not sufficient, so in the past six months, they not only did not cause trouble to the imperial court, but also tried to save some military rations to relieve the disaster.

But at present, the war is in full swing, the soldiers can not go to the battlefield hungry, the loss of ordnance must always be compensated, the fallen soldiers must also have a pension, and the loss of troops must also be made up, these are the most basic, if it can't be done, how can the empty-handed northern defenders block the invasion of the Rongdi people?

That's all there is to it, the most intolerable thing for these northern generals is that they are born and die at the border, and someone in the court actually wants to start talking about peace. As soon as the war began, there were already soft bones who began to want to pay tribute to the Rongdi people?

Is there money to pay tribute and no money to fight? Those of them who fought for their lives on the battlefield haven't said anything, those officials in the capital are actually afraid first?! What a reason!

"Fortunately, the emperor does not support the peace," General Zhenguo said again: "But no matter what, your little girl will have to stay in the north for two years." In fact, the emperor didn't really expect her to go into battle to kill the enemy, but this flag had to be erected here, so that the emperor could use it to block the mouths of the courtiers. ”

"I see." After Mu Chengde was silent for a while, he hugged his fist towards General Zhenguo: "I have offended a lot before, and I hope the old general will not care." Along the way, the hard-working old general escorted the niece of the last general. ”

"The general doesn't need to be polite," General Zhenguo immediately shook his head: "In the future, the old man will also stay in the north for a long time and fight side by side with the general." The affairs of the north are the affairs of the old man, where is the need to see the outside like this. ”

"I have to find a safe place for my little sister." Mu Tieyi and Mu Qingyi are exactly the same worried: "Shuozhou can't be done." The Rongdi people may make a comeback at any time, and it is most convenient for them to go to Shuozhou by going to the Yunwang Valley. ”

"There's a safe place to go in the north right now." A gray-faced lieutenant beside Mu Chengde shook his head and sighed.

"Heng'an Prefecture is relatively better," Mu Chengde frowned and thought for a moment before he spoke: "It's just that Heng'an doesn't have a family, and I don't know who to entrust the red clothes to." ”

Everyone was discussing Mu Hongsheng's whereabouts, but a large circle of people, no one thought to ask Mu Hongsheng for his opinion. She listened quietly for a while, and finally reached out and pulled the corner of Mu Tieyi's clothes: "Brother, I will stay in Shuozhou to accompany you." I'm not here to be the eldest lady, you and the fourth uncle go to the battlefield, I will accompany you, and I will follow you wherever you go. ”

"What nonsense." Mu Tieyi reached out and touched the top of Mu Hongsheng's head, and said with a smile: "You are a girl, what kind of battlefield are you on." Don't worry, my brother will definitely find you a safe place to go, you stay in the north for two years, and when we defeat Rong Di, my brother will take you home. ”

"Brother, what I said is true." Mu Hongshang looked at Mu Tieyi's eyes, her eyes were shining: "No matter what the emperor's purpose is, he will make me a captain and send me to the north." But I have only one purpose in going to the north, which is to accompany my father, uncles and brothers to the battlefield, you guard the border, I will protect you, I can do it, really! I'm better than Jinyi, and I'm no worse than the fifth brother, if you don't believe it, brother, you can ask the fourth brother. ”

"Yes, yes, you're amazing. Of course, my sister is the most powerful, and she was able to escape from the siege of so many Rongdi people before. Mu Tieyi patted Mu Hongsheng's brain like a dog, and smiled proudly, but unfortunately he really didn't take Mu Hongsheng's words seriously.

As if coaxing his sister at home, he smiled and praised Mu Hongsheng's skills, and then turned around and went to discuss "business" with the fourth uncle.

"Right now, Ling Yi is in Danzhou, the third uncle and Chi Yi are in Youzhou, and my father and eldest brother are guarding Yanmen Pass," Mu Tieyi said: "Youzhou and Yanmen Pass are the same as here at the forefront of the front, and Danzhou is stuck in an important passage to the south, and the pressure is no less than that of our Shuozhou." But relatively speaking, I think it's better to send the red dress to Yanzhou. Although Yanmen Pass is the front line, the Jingluo Embassy is located in Yanzhou, and there are a few rough maids, so they can make do with serving the little sister, and the father and eldest brother are there, I feel more at ease with them. ”

"I also think Yanmen Pass is good," Mu Qingyi nodded in agreement: "Before the war, Yanzhou was more prosperous than our Shuozhou, and my little sister could live more comfortably there." ”

"Fourth uncle, you don't have to worry about me, I'll stay in Shuozhou......" Mu Hongshang opened her mouth again and wanted to reiterate her position, but unfortunately no one cared about her words, and before she finished speaking, Mu Chengde made a decision: "Then it's decided." Send the red dress to Yanzhou. ”

"But I ......" Mu Hongshang was so anxious that she pulled Mu Tieyi fiercely, but Mu Tieyi patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then said, "Then it's better for me to send my little sister over in person." ”

"No," Mu Chengde shook his head: "Shuozhou's defense pressure is quite high, you can't leave." Hongshang is staying in Shuozhou for a few days now, and everything will be said when the losses are counted. ”

Mu Tieyi nodded, then turned his head with a smile and took his sister's hand: "Hongshang, let's go, my brother will find someone to make room for you in the Shuobei General's Mansion first, and go take a shower and clean up first." Tsing Yi, you go and think of a way to see if you can get some delicious food for your little sister. ”

"The owner of our Shuozhou Chengxi Mutton Restaurant has very good cooking skills, and his mutton soup is very famous," a local officer immediately came up with an enthusiastic idea: "It's just that after the war, the restaurants were closed." However, the owner of the mutton restaurant has taken refuge in our Shuobei General's Mansion these days, and he should not shirk if he is asked to cook. ”

"Okay." Mu Qingyi nodded immediately: "It's just that we have been besieged here for nearly a month, and I'm afraid there are no good things in the city." ”

"Wait until I go home and take a look, let my mother-in-law find out if there are any good things left." The officer who spoke before replied with a smile, "It would be nice to have a chicken." If not, you can only be wronged by the eldest lady to be a vegetarian. We have been fighting here for a month, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky every day, and the birds and beasts in this vicinity are afraid that they have long been scared to run away, and now they are going out of the city to hunt, and I am afraid that there is nothing to gain. Alas! In fact, my mother-in-law's cooking skills are also good, and everyone who has eaten the cold cakes she makes is full of praise. It's just that our northern border has been dry for half a year, where is there fresh millet rice? At this stall, you can't buy a penny of millet on the street with cash silver, and the entire Shuozhou City eats disaster relief grain from the south. ”

"Speaking of this," Mu Tieyi suddenly smiled: "General Zhang, will the aunt at home boil wild berry soup?" I remember that I was going home before the Chinese New Year last year, and I bought some dried wild berries to take back and give our sister a fresh taste. As a result, I couldn't go back, and I didn't know if there were any insects after half a year. ”
