Yang Fan has just returned to the border for less than a month, and he has already participated in several battles, and he is also a little tired.

Hearing this, the generals began to discuss tactics, and the main battle faction and the response faction expressed their opinions, and there were constant quarrels in the big tent.

Shangguan Yu was always looking at the military map and didn't get angry.

Perhaps because they were tired of the quarrel, they found that Shangguan Yu had been silent, and suddenly they all quieted down and waited for Shangguan Yu to speak.

Shangguan Yu is the youngest of the generals, but he has been fighting for a long time, and he has never been defeated.

In addition, Shangguan Yu will take over the Zixiao Army sooner or later, and the Zixiao Army is equivalent to the private army of the Han Palace, and Shangguan Yu's status in the army is second only to the current Han King, and no one can shake it.

"If you are the leader of these small tribes, what do you want to do most at this moment?" Shangguan Yu stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the generals and asked.

"Grab food, grab silver, rob women." The general said loudly, echoed by the majority.

"If I were the leader of the tribe, I would never attack the city at any cost during a natural disaster, so as not to lose the elite troops." After Yang Fan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly sank, "They want to take advantage of the opportunity to disturb the border and sneak into the north!" ”

Shangguan Yu nodded, "There will definitely be news of the planting of winter wheat." These tribes took turns harassing the border passes, which made our army exhausted, and focused their forces on the defense of the city. Can it be ...... here But it was a moat guarded by only a few soldiers. ”

"The cliffs here are steep, and there is a large river dozens of feet wide below, even if they can break into the northland, they will not be able to transport grain out!" A general said suspiciously.

"As long as you enter the city, there is naturally a way to get out." Yang Fan sneered, "Please send people to the city gate to focus on investigation, there have been frequent grain merchants recently." ”

"This ...... Impossible, right? I didn't hear of a large amount of grain being shipped out. Besides, if it's really a robbery of grain, can there be no government in various places to receive news? "There are still people who think it's unlikely.

"Immediately send urgent documents to the local government offices to strengthen the control of the foreign population and the deployment of city gates. All orders were issued to each town, and once there was an abnormality, the people were immediately controlled and reported to the Han Palace. General Cheng, you take a thousand vanguards to help defend the moat, and if you need this token, ask for support nearby. ”

Shangguan Yu did not explain, but directly gave an order.

"Adjutant General Yang, you take a hundred elite soldiers and personally go to Baifu County to guard it, which is the largest planting area of winter wheat, and there is no loss."

"Yes." Yang Fan received the order, looked at Shangguan Yu deeply, silently exchanged a certain message, and strode away.

Seeing Shangguan Yu's solemn face, the generals knew that there was really such a possibility, and they all became cautious and began to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.

The soldiers guarded the border to protect the country's territory, but more importantly, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, after all, their families also belonged to the people.

Once these tribes do infiltrate the Northlands, the consequences are unimaginable.

The topics discussed in the military tent are unknown to the people, and they are busy with their livelihoods in the new year.

The people of Baifu County are tired and happy, looking at the yield of winter wheat, and they are all counting on the variety of winter wheat as much as possible this year.

Not to mention that the imperial court currently only collects taxes for one season of grain, that is, the output of winter wheat, and the price of one season of wheat is equivalent to adding a year's income to the family.

Since the winter wheat harvest began, the county order sent out all the competent people around him, wanting to determine the yield of winter wheat so that it could be reported to the imperial court in time.

Especially in Nanshan Village, which is the most important thing in the county order, but he has no skills, so he sent the housekeeper of the family to come and demanded that the winter wheat in Nanshan Village must be sold to the yamen as wheat seeds.

"There seem to be more people coming to build roads these days, and I see that some people don't look like southerners." After returning from Zhuangzi, when Bai Sanshu went home to arrange things, Bai Ling asked.

"Southerners don't all look the same, you girl is too careful, right?" Bai Sanshu said a word, and when he saw Bai Ling pursing his lips, he said again: "Why don't you let people stare at it?" ”

"Well, I'll have someone do it." Bai Ling nodded, and before he was unsure, he didn't want to startle the snake, so he asked, "Dad, is the village still sending people to guard the entrance and end of the village?" ”

"During the day, those little babies are playing there, and at night there are guards, but after a day's work, I guess they all sleep." White Three Tree Road.

"Then I'll go to the village chief and uncle, and in the future, our family will send a nursing home over and guard it with the villagers in shifts. Whoever has less land in the village will take a person to rotate his post, and the village or clan will give him some wages, so as not to be in danger and do not know. ”

Bai Ling poured a cup of tea for Bai Sanshu, then got up and said:

"I'll go find the village chief's uncle now, otherwise I'm not sure."

"This girl has no time to live." Bai Sanshu shook his head helplessly.

Bai Ling has always believed in intuition, so after talking to the village chief, he went to the Xiao family's ancestral house to remind Xiao Mu's brothers and sisters to pay attention to fortification.

After listening to Bai Ling's words, Xiao Muqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Ling'er, are you too sensitive?" The imperial court has already settled all the victims, and it is far away from the border pass, so it will be fine. ”

"Intuition." Bai Ling said: "Maybe you don't believe it, my intuition has always been very accurate, so this time I have to believe it or not." ”

Hearing Bai Ling say this, Xiao Muqing's expression flashed with a touch of complexity.

A woman's intuition, Xiao Muqing also had it, but it was Shangguan Yu, otherwise she would not have ...... to Bai Ling

"Okay, I'll be safe, and so will you." Xiao Muqing sincerely thanked her this time.

If it weren't for Bai Ling's regard as a friend, she wouldn't have come to tell her because of her intuition, but her friendship was mixed with selfishness, which was not as precious as Bai Ling.

"Thank you Miss Bai, if something happens, Miss Bai can bring her family to take refuge in Xiao Mansion." Xiao Mu also thanked and expressed his sincerity.

"Thank you Xiao Gongzi for your kindness, this is another purpose for me to come today." Bai Ling smiled lightly and accepted the other party's kindness, and said: "If there is really an accident, and the Xiao Mansion is in danger, you will bring someone to my house, I have a safe place to go, and it is not a problem to hide for more than a month." ”

"Okay." Xiao Mu bowed, but he didn't take it seriously.

After Bai Ling said goodbye and left, Xiao Muqing lost her mind for a moment, watching Bai Ling's coming and going, which made her feel envious.

probably grew up in the ancestral house, so Xiao Muqing is different from the ladies in Beijing, and she doesn't think that raising in the boudoir is the best destination for women, otherwise she would not cooperate with Baicao.

But Xiao Muqing's identity and body do not allow her to be as free as Bai Ling.

"Brother, why don't you go back to the capital first. You are the young master of the Xiao family, and you can't make any mistakes. After Xiao Muqing came back to her senses, she saw Xiao Mu looking at herself, and said worriedly.

"Your health has improved significantly, and my brother will stay here with you until your dark illness is cured. Qing'er, it's my brother's fault that you have been living alone in the ancestral house for so many years. Xiao Mu shook his head and looked at Xiao Muqing dotingly.

Xiao Muqing nodded lightly with red eyes, she was very glad that the separation for many years had not made her family indifferent, otherwise she would not know how to survive in a place like the capital.
