Taking advantage of the time when General Mo came out of the study, the eagle, who had been born and cooked twice, threw the oil paper on his face again.

"Hiss......"

Veteran Mo touched the aching cheek that was fanned by the eagle's wings, he looked at the small black dot in the sky, and pouted helplessly, this eagle didn't know how to be gentle, and rushed to his face every time.

Picking up the oil paper that fell on the ground, General Mo returned to the study and solemnly opened it, I don't know what information the master sent this time.

When I opened the oiled paper, there was only a thin piece of paper that read:

North of Mocheng, underground coal mines.

Seeing these eight words, General Mo's pupils shrank suddenly.

The big hand holding the note clenched instantly, and his chest rose and fell vigorously, obviously in a very big mood.

There was silence in the study, save for the faint sound of burning candlelight.

After a cup of tea, General Mo completely calmed down, he let go of his hand, and the paper that had been crumpled into ashes slowly fell on the table.

He got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall, looking at the clearing to the north of Mocheng.

It was a large grassland with an unobstructed view.

After decades of fighting with the steppe people on this meadow, they didn't even find that there was a coal mine buried underneath!

Coal mines are such a precious and rare thing! There is only one in the entire Dayan, and Mocheng is the second.

If there really is a coal mine, then this grassland must be included in the plate of Dayan no matter what, and it must not be obtained by the grassland people!

Otherwise, it will cause a catastrophe!

"Come on, invite the five generals to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, and now immediately send someone to the north outside the city to see if there is really a coal mine!" Old General Mo said coldly.

"Yes, General."

A hoarse voice appeared out of thin air in the silent air, a shadow flashed in the darkness, and then the study was silent again.

I didn't sleep all night, my subordinates moved quickly, and the information was just dawn.

"General Huiyu, I did find a coal mine, and experienced craftsmen have seen that the area of the coal mine is extremely vast.

"Got it, let's go down."

The old general Mo, who had been sitting quietly all night, was a little hoarse.

"General, is there something important about calling us all over this time? The steppe people are about to move again? ”

Not long after, the five generals gathered in the study, and General An asked bluntly.

As soon as General Mo told the news of coal, General Ma immediately slapped the table vigorously.

"Every winter, the grassland people are not happy, they will freeze to death and starve to death, and it is precisely for this reason that their population is not large, if this coal mine is taken away, Dayan will not have a good time in the next few years."

"But in recent years, Mocheng has become weaker and weaker, a total of 100,000 soldiers, if the grassland people are determined to seize this coal mine, I am afraid that Mocheng will have to pay a huge price." General Feng said calmly.

"Hit it! After fighting with the steppe people for so many years, are you still afraid that they will not succeed? ”

General Zhu snorted coldly.

"Coal mines must not be given to the prairie people." General Mo Lao made the final decision.

"Before the steppe people could react, they sent people to mine as much as possible, and the border measures outside the city were expanded by ten kilometers."

"The whole city of Mocheng is on alert and has entered a state of readiness."

"Lao Feng, Lao Ma, the two of you took your men out of the camp and patrolled the grassland day and night."

"Mobilize another 10,000 people to mine."

"Yes, General."

The five generals stood up and answered at the same time, their faces solemn.

When he knew that he was going to fight, he was so worried that he almost blew his hair and went to war, and he fought, and he fought!

How can there be food and grass!

He looked at the inventory ledger, it was really dark, and he passed out directly.

No, not a drop is really gone.

Beyond Mobei, the grassland is desolate, and hundreds of people can be faintly seen working.

These are the exiled prisoners, who have been taken further north to dig trenches since Ye Lanming left with the people.

The purpose is to restrain the iron horses of the steppe people.

The steppe people are good at raising horses, coupled with the advantages of horse breeds, the horses cultivated are tall and strong, and they are matched with carefully trained cavalry.

is invincible in the grassland, and often two cavalry can stop one cavalry of the steppe people.

The only thing that could restrain the ferocity of the steppe cavalry was to do their hands and feet on the ground, dig trenches, and put sharp iron weapons.

In the trench several feet deep, Ye Lanxin struggled to shovel soil into a basket with a shovel, she was wearing a dusty jacket, which was shabby, faintly revealing a little fluff inside.

The delicate hands of the past are also covered with calluses, red and swollen, which are all grinded out by working too much.

At the beginning, she shed a few tears, and after a few days of torture, she became numb to it.

Finally filling the frame, she pulled the rope tied to the basket, and the basket was immediately carried away.

Sitting in the trench, Ye Lanxin gasped for breath and rested, and after that, she slowly crawled out of the trench, it stands to reason that she is done today's work and can go back to rest.

Before she had taken a few steps, her big hand, which had been rough, grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the trench.

"Dead girl, I don't know how to help my family after I'm done...... Sure enough, it's a selfish white-eyed wolf. ”

A few slaps fell on Ye Lanxin's body along with the insults, and it was Mrs. Ye who did it.

The days of hard work completely broke the mental defense of this noble lady in the capital, and when she heard that Ye Lanming's family was living a very nourishing life now, her heart was even more distorted.

Cursing all day long, cursing Master Ye for being incompetent, harming the whole family into exile, insulting the two children for being unfilial, insulting the second room for being cold-blooded and ruthless, just watching the big house suffer and not pulling a hand

Master Ye and Ye Chengfei were so annoyed that they couldn't do it, and they didn't care about the gentleman's demeanor, they punched and kicked her directly, and after being beaten once, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to provoke the father and son, so she turned her hatred to the weaker Ye Lanxin.

She seems to have forgotten that this is her favorite daughter before, and insults her all day long for not being as good as Ye Lanming, and has a bad relationship with her, if it weren't for her, Dafang would not have fallen to this point, and she would have followed the second room to eat and drink spicy.

Ye Lanxin was always indifferent to these insults and did not react at all.

It's just that the hatred accumulated in my heart is deeper.

"Get it done!" Mrs. Ye pointed to the half-dug trench and said.

Ye Lanxin was silent and took the shovel to work, and Mrs. Ye sat in the trench and closed her eyes to rest.

While Ye Lanxin was working, she looked at Mrs. Ye with the corner of her eye, and seeing that she gradually fell asleep, she squeezed the shovel in her hand tightly, blood appeared in her eyes, and her eyes were faintly crazy.

Slowly approaching Mrs. Ye, Ye Lanxin glanced around, this ditch was a newly dug trench, only her and Mrs. Ye.

No one, it's a good time!

Killing intent filled Ye Lanxin's mind, they were all exiled prisoners, their lives were not worth anything, and no one would be held accountable if they died.

She just had to clean up the scene a little and disguise it as suicide...... No one will pursue it.

Getting closer and closer to Mrs. Ye, the corners of Ye Lanxin's mouth twisted and hooked, and she raised the shovel in her hand high, poof, and subtle blood stains spurted out.

Ye Lanxin looked at Mrs. Ye who was staring at the dead in her eyes, the corners of her mouth became bigger and bigger, and she laughed silently, her expression was extremely crazy.

And that's just the first one!

None of the people who bullied me can escape!
