Chapter 77: The Long Shovel of in Ancient Times (4)

Liuyue entered the bath room only to find that things were not as she imagined, although this man was a general, he was actually very, very poor.

The bathhouse was very shabby, with only a half-worn hanger and a wooden tub, and there seemed to be a few wooden basins with missing horns scattered in the corner.

It seems that this general is quite aggrieved, the sleeping place is simple, the bathing place is in poor condition, and the roof is still very crispy, she just smashed it casually and broke a big hole.

After bringing the door, the soft and weak maid just now suddenly changed her face. She asked Liuyue coldly, "Why did you suddenly appear here last night?" What is your relationship with the general? ”

"I ......" Liuyue is really at a loss for words now, she can't tell this sharp-toothed girl that she is the Commander of the Nether Realm.

After hesitating for a while, Liuyue still planned to lie, "General...... It's my husband. ”

"Husband?" The maid was also a little stunned when she said this, but then she scolded loudly, "Nonsense! The general of my family has never been married, where will there be a wife. ”

The maid did not believe what she said, she had served with the general for many years, and had met many different people.

This woman is not a good thing at first glance, and she speaks in a weird way, most of which is because she has other intentions.

"Having said that, the general and I were already married last night......

Liuyue deliberately pretended to be pitiful, with a pair of beautiful big eyes glowing with water.

Seeing that the maid looked suspicious, Liuyue gritted her teeth and pinched her thighs a few times, and tears fell out of her eyes.

Liuyue frowned slightly as she looked in the play, and after making sure that the maid saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, she gasped again.

She deliberately held on to her waist and stumbled and fell to the ground.

The mud-stained white robe was lifted just right, and one leg was covered with a terrifying bruise.

When the maid stretched out her hand and pulled herself up, Liu Yue pretended to be very sorry and said, "I really can't walk in pain, and the general was too ...... last night Vigorous. ”

The maid still didn't change her face when she heard such shameless words, she stared at Liuyue's face seriously, and said seriously, "The slave family saw that the girl was still walking like a fly. ”

Fleet of foot......

-_-, Liuyue was a little embarrassed when she heard this, do you have to demolish her in person?

After all, I acted so hard just now, and I felt pretty good, but I didn't think about it, but I was seen through by a little girl.

Knowing that this little girl was not easy to deal with, Liuyue's mind spun quickly, and then she had an idea.

She pulled a face and cried profusely, "Your general, he's not human...... He actually bullied me. ”

Liuyue cried for a long time, and the little maid just looked at her quietly.

Liuyue suddenly felt that she was too humble, as the Si Ming Xingjun who was in charge of the lives of the human race, she was going to be bullied by a little maid after the lower realm.

After crying for a while, she was a little tired, and Liuyue simply stopped pretending.

She pushed the little maid, "Go out, go out, this girl wants to take a bath." "Even a little maid is so difficult to deal with, it can be seen that the dog man is not a good stubble.

The maid didn't say anything anymore, took the door and went out.

The woman also looked stupid, no wonder the general would be so relieved to keep her here.

It's just that people's hearts are sinister, and now is an extraordinary time, so you still have to be careful.

Liuyue looked at the leg that had just been pinched and bruised by herself depressedly, and knew that the maid was not so easy to deceive, so she didn't start so hard, π_π, it hurts......

……

Gao Chen was dressed in a black armor, and his whole person looked extremely serious, a pair of phoenix eyes stared closely at the half-old sheepskin drawings, and his lips were pursed.

Gao Chen has been guarding the border for many years, and he has always been in armor and ready for battle, and he has never relaxed his treatment of the soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that we can keep one side safe.

However, in recent years, there has been a severe drought in the north, and pasture grass is naturally scarcer than before, and cattle and sheep have died of drought.

The people of the northern country are about to be unable to open the pot, so they have repeatedly harassed the border, causing a lot of trouble and losses to the people nearby.

If the current situation continues, it will be a matter of time before the border becomes urgent.

Gao Chen has also been worried lately, and he is not sure when the enemy will lead his army south.

Although there have been cases of northern nomads going south to make trouble before, they are all small-scale and cannot make any waves. When Gao Chen led the army to suppress it, those people scattered one after another.

But the situation is very different from the past, and the people in the north have suffered heavy casualties, so they go south to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

Everywhere he went, he burned, killed and looted, and killed and injured many villagers, causing panic among the people.

It stands to reason that when such a bad thing happens, the emperor should appease his subjects, strengthen the border defense, and be ready for war at all times, or at least show his attitude to the northern country.

But the emperor of the southern kingdom not only did not have the slightest worry, but also rejoiced with some courtiers, believing that the hateful enemy country had finally suffered a natural disaster, which was a great blessing for our dynasty.

What's even more exaggerated is that the emperor of the southern kingdom even held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the natural disaster in the northern country, and for some reason, this matter also spread to the leader of the northern kingdom, causing public anger.

Gao Chen has been sleepless lately, he knows very well what this natural disaster means, when people are cornered, they can do anything.

Gao Chen's army guarding the border pass is very thin, it is still the specifications of a few years ago, although the soldiers are all trained to be brave and incoherent, but after all, they are outnumbered.

Relations between the North and the South have been tepid, and there is a cold war every few years, but it has been many years since they have been checking and balancing each other, but no one knows what will happen in the future.

A few years ago, the southern country sent a princess to the northern country to make peace with relatives, which eased the relationship between the two countries a little, so at that time, there were only a few people in the southern border, even if it was a little messy, and they didn't dare to provoke on the bright side.

But now the northern nomads are getting stronger and stronger, and because of the affairs of the emperor of the south, people are unhappy.

If the army is overwhelmed at this time, it is very likely to lose the battle.

Gao Chen wrote to the emperor many times to ask for the strengthening of border defenses, but was repeatedly refused.

The emperor refused to send troops, and even sent someone to send a message, saying that since ancient times, there have been examples of winning more with less, and he believed in him very much.

Bah! I believe there is a fart, bring troops over for reinforcements.

Gao Chen was so angry with the emperor of the southern kingdom who was still the crown prince that year, so he took the initiative to ask to guard the border pass, which was five years long, but it also kept the peace.

Gao Chen often looked at the northern border in a daze, and he didn't know when the iron cavalry of the northern country would go south, and when the border defense was not secured, he would be charged with a crime of failing to defend the city, and what should the subjects of the southern country do.

"Will ...... General, North ...... The Northland led an army into attack. Gao Chen was carefully studying the topographical map of the northern country when a soldier rushed in in a panic.

"What?" So fast. Hearing this, Gao Chen took the sword halberd and walked out. He had long expected the invasion of the Northern Congress, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

After instructing the soldiers to prepare supplies for defending the city, Gao Chen stood on the city wall in armor and looked at the northern soldiers who were riding a high war horse not far away.

"Will ...... General, what a good thing this is. The adjutant general was so anxious that his head was sweating, he didn't expect the northern country to overwhelm the border so quickly, with a few thousand people in their city, how to resist the enemy's tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Gao Chen watched the soldiers in the distance slowly approaching, but there was no expression on his face, and he only said two words for the adjutant general's worries, "Defend to death." ”

Thinking of what the faint monarch said to believe him, Gao Chen only felt a little bitter. Several generations of the Gao family have been folded here, and it seems that this time, he can't escape his fate.

The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his head with the back of his hand and forced himself to calm down. The Gao family is a god of war, and General Gao is wise and powerful, so he will definitely be able to lead them to defend the city.

After the Northern Iron Cavalry came to the city, they did not rush to war, but sent a man who looked like a military advisor to negotiate.

The man had two beards and a feather fan in his hand, and he looked quite shrewd.

When the lieutenant saw that the man was walking forward alone, he immediately pushed the archer on the side, "Why are you still stunned, shoot him quickly." ”

Let's see what tricks they can play without a military advisor.

The archer nodded, pulled out the bow and was about to shoot at the man, but Gao Chen immediately stopped him, "Wait!" ”

If the people sent by the northern country were really shot to death, it would not be a plain and unprovoked truth, and then this war would really be unavoidable.

Once launched, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Why?" The adjutant general was a little puzzled when he saw Gao Chen's move, isn't it better to kill more enemy soldiers in a battle than anyone else. That idiot was sent to the door by himself, why didn't he just shoot him.

Gao Chen frowned slightly, his deputy general is good at everything, but his mind is too simple, and he will only use brute force. Gao Chen just watched the man step forward step by step, "Let's see the situation first." ”

He didn't believe that the northern kingdom would really send their military advisor up, that man was probably cannon fodder, even if he was shot immediately, it would be useless, but would cause public anger.

"Oh." The deputy general seemed to understand and sighed, just wait, anyway, that person's dog life, he is going to decide.

"General Gao, there is a great drought in the north, and the people are deeply troubled." The man who looked like a military advisor shouted under the city, "I led the army here this time, I didn't mean to offend, I just wanted to borrow food from the south." ”

"Phew! Borrow some bird food. When the adjutant general heard this, he was annoyed, where is this borrowing grain, and the difference is to take advantage of it.

The adjutant general was also an anxious man, and pointed at the man and scolded, "You dog-headed military advisor, you want to be shameless, borrow food and borrow food, I think you want to eat white food." ”
