Chapter 174: Border
Spring has begun to enter Kyoto, but the northern border of Daisui is still bitterly cold.
When Princess An Ning and the people arranged by Concubine Chen Guifei arrived at the border in the snow, a big battle had just taken place at the gate gate in the north.
The white snow and the bright red blood were intertwined, staining a large area of the world.
The person responsible for receiving Princess An Ning is Chen Guifei's elder brother, and now the Chen family is responsible for Chen Zixian, the main force of the frontier. After Chen Zixian received Princess An Ning, he took Princess An Ning into the barracks and met Mrs. Chen head-on.
Because of Chen Yulin's disappearance, Mrs. Chen can be said to have washed her face with tears during this period of time, and now when she suddenly looked up and saw Princess An Ning, Mrs. Chen didn't react for a long time.
When Mrs. Chen suddenly came back to her senses, Mrs. Chen pointed to her husband's nose and scolded: "How old is she at Anning?" Why can you bear to let such a delicate girl run to this border to suffer? ”
General Chen, if you talk about the layout of the troops in the battle, he can say that he has been able to do it for three days and three nights without stopping. But if you want to coax your daughter-in-law who is losing her temper, General Chen has no way at all.
was scolded by Mrs. Chen for a long time, and General Chen finally just squeezed out a few words with a straight face: "Sister, she agreed!" ”
I never thought that General Chen's words that he had held back for so long would make Mrs. Chen's tone even more excited. She looked at Princess An Ning, who was standing behind General Chen in disbelief and tried her best to reduce her sense of existence, and then turned her head to look at General Chen, who didn't dare to look at her.
For a while, sadness came from my heart, and I couldn't help crying loudly: "You people really are! Don't you Chen family have any brains? Thinking about war every day! Fight! Fight! My poor son is still missing, and An Ning is the only one left in this life! How can you bear it? How to bear it! ”
In the face of Mrs. Chen's crying, Princess An Ning knew that she was in a position to refute. General Chen also kept a straight face, not knowing how to comfort his heartbroken wife, so he could only let Mrs. Chen cry for a while, and finally was helped by his subordinates to go to the room to rest.
When Mrs. Chen left, Princess An Ning, who had been loading quails behind General Chen just now, finally regained some vitality: "Uncle! I passed through the city on the way here, and I heard from the residents of the city that there was another battle outside. ”
Speaking of this, General Chen also sighed helplessly.
Although the Great Sui is strong and strong, it is still a little difficult compared to the traveling country where all the people are soldiers. Although it is not the coldest time of winter, the cold weather can still affect the performance of the Great Sui warriors.
It's not the same when you travel to the country.
The country is known as a country on horseback, and there are more cavalry in the army that fights. Because Youguo is located in the north, the weather there is even colder than the weather on the side of the Great Sui, and the people of Youguo walk in such cold weather all year round, and their ability to withstand cold is also higher than that of the Great Sui warriors.
In this way, every time there is a battle, the Great Sui side will suffer even more in terms of fighting troops. If it weren't for the blessing of the city wall, it would only be more difficult for the Great Sui to fight with Youguo.
"Before your cousin disappeared, he went after a troop of cavalry from a wandering country!" General Chen's tone was a little heavy when he talked about this matter, obviously he was a little hopeless for his son who still had no news for so many days.
The Rangers are very capable of fighting, and their main purpose when they fight is actually to grab supplies. In order to achieve the purpose of looting supplies, from time to time, You Guo would send a small group of cavalry to act separately and rush to some villages in the border of Dasui to grab things.
Some time ago, a pair of cavalry from the traveling country robbed a village of the Great Sui. They only looted supplies, but also burned, killed and looted, killing and looting everything, killing all the people in the village, even the elderly and children.
Chen Yulin was because the cavalry was doing too badly, so he led a pair of soldiers and horses to rush forward to chase and kill the pair of cavalry, and was ambushed on the way, and when there was a fierce battle, Chen Yulin disappeared like this.
General Chen recalled that when he and Chen Yulin went to check on the village that had been killed by the whole village, he was still angry and pounded the stone table in front of him with his hand.
It was snowing heavily, but the whole village was red. The bodies of countless old people and children were gathered on the largest field in the village, one by one, and there was not a single survivor.
Blood flowed from the ground beneath them, melting the snow and mixing with it, creating a huge pool of blood.
Princess An Ning was also angry after hearing this. On the way here, Princess An Ning had actually guessed a lot of the current situation, but when she really saw the soldiers who were wounded and carried back from the battlefield for the first time, Princess An Ning was still carried away by anger: "Is You Guo crazy? How can you even do such a thing as Tu Village? ”
General Chen was silent for a while when he heard Princess An Ning's words, and finally spoke slowly: "Actually, it wasn't like this before You Guo!" ”
"The last general of You Guo is called Nursang Jie, and he is a beautiful and polite general! When he was there, the soldiers under You Guo were all restrained! At that time, when the weather was bitterly cold, Nursanjie's soldiers would also snatch food, but they would never do anything to harm people's lives! I don't know what's going on this year, we've dealt with You Guo so many times, and I haven't seen the shadow of Nursanjie! ”
"Who knows? He used to firmly control the soldiers under his command, how could he not suddenly stop now? Princess An Ning stood beside General Chen, looking at the wailing soldiers lying in the tent not far away, and she didn't have a good impression of the Youguo people in her heart: "Uncle, you haven't seen him, maybe they are hiding in the barracks!" ”
General Chen stopped talking.
In the final analysis, although You Guo and the Great Sui had some friendly relations, they did not really establish diplomatic relations after all. Although General Chen admired Nursanjie in his heart, he was speechless when he looked at the frontier where corpses were now everywhere.
Princess An Ning was arranged by General Chen to stay.
She originally came to the frontier to go to the battlefield, but now she naturally wants to recuperate her energy and wait for the Ranger Cavalry to appear again and catch them off guard.
