Chapter 252: Annihilation?
How can Lei Pozi not be in a hurry?
The main general of the previous dynasty was not a good stubble, and the places they had passed before were like locusts crossing the border.
Otherwise, why did so many ordinary people resist and take refuge in the Xuanyuan Army?
I'm really forced to have no way out!
Xuanbao had never experienced war, and the world was peaceful when she was born.
But the world has not been peaceful for a few years, and many villagers have experienced it.
"Xuanbao, this grain must be put away and hidden as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no more. You've been following your grandmother for a long time, you know? Liu had already picked up the sickle and set up the cart, and she and Lin rushed to the field with the cart.
Lei Pozi hugged Xuanbao, went to the old house to inform Father and Mother, and hurriedly notified other long-term workers to collect rice and medicinal herbs.
Rice and medicinal herbs are both favorites of the army.
She saw the whole village running into the fields with sickles, hoes and other farm tools.
Families, men, women, and children were mobilized.
Harvest rice for those who harvest rice, harvest peanuts for peanuts, hoe sweet potatoes for hoe sweet potatoes.
The villagers are very panicked, most of the officials of the previous dynasty are corrupt officials, before the Xuanyuan Kingdom pacified the world, most of the grain collected by the common people must be handed over to the imperial court, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are very serious, every household will starve, if the imperial army cannot win this time, Shaxi County will be occupied by the remnants of the previous dynasty again, and that day will not be able to live.
Seeing this, Weak Xuan didn't persuade anymore.
Dissuade not moving.
She herself joined the ranks of harvesting rice, and by the way, she quietly ridied the rice at home, so that one mu could weigh dozens of catties.
In the evening, the brothers returned from the city and joined the rice harvesting team.
Lei Pozi tirelessly brandished her sickle, and she said to her sons: "After the grain is collected and hidden, should our family go to the city to hide?" ”
"It's safer to have soldiers in the city than in the village."
"But if the city gate is breached, then the city might as well be in the village, and then it will be safe to hide in the mountains."
Weak water soothed: "Mother, you think too much!" Tan Cang was not the opponent of the Feiyan Army back then, the remnants of the previous dynasty have long been out of the climate, the imperial court has become stronger and stronger over the years, and the Feiyan army is even more invincible, and I heard that this time it was General He who took the initiative to attack Nanyu Island, intending to eradicate the remnants of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop and take back Nanyu Island, they can't beat it. ”
Weak Jiang: "That's right, the eldest brother is in the barracks, if there is an attack by the remnants of the previous dynasty, he knows that he will let people notify us in advance, don't worry, mother, just like usual, do what you have to do!" When the grain in the field is harvested, plant whatever you need to plant. ”
When the village chief learned that the brothers from the weak family had returned, he also came over to inquire about the situation in the city, and when he heard their conversation, he was relieved, but he still asked, "How is the situation in the city?" Is there any movement in the yamen? Have food prices gone up? Has anyone taken refuge in other cities? ”
Shaxi County is still relatively close to Nanyu Island, and every time there is a war, those rich and noble families can always receive the news in advance, and then move their families to other cities in advance to avoid the war.
That's why some families have stood for hundreds of years.
Weak water: "We didn't see the rich man run away, don't worry, the village chief doesn't worry, everything is normal in the city, Zhang County's order has spoken, which grain store dares to raise prices, he will copy which grain store." ”
Weak Chuan: "The village chief just let everyone live a normal life, and they must believe in the imperial court and the Feiyan army." Zhang Xianling checked the price of grain in the city every day, and the people in the city lived their lives as they should, and there was not much change. ”
Weak Mountain: "The hospital did not stock up on medicine, and the imperial court did not purchase a large amount of injury medicine from the hospital, so it was calm." ”
Weak Jiang: "The Feiyan Army is so powerful, what are you afraid of?" ”
Instead, he felt that this was an opportunity for his eldest brother.
There should be another general in their family!
Weak Xuan also followed: "Don't be afraid, if you can't fight here, the war will be gone in less than three months." ”
Her uncle is coming back to get married!
So it must not be more than three months.
The village chief was not at ease after listening to anyone's words, but after listening to Xuanbao's words, he was inexplicably relieved: "Xuanbao, after the rice is harvested, continue to plant the third crop of rice?" ”
Weak Xuan nodded her little head: "Plant!" Then you have to plant, the seedlings are all raised, why not plant? It's going to be a good year next year! ”
The village chief was like eating a scale this time, and he was definitely relieved.
Xuanbao's mouth was like a light, and whatever she said was what she said.
He smiled and said, "Then I will inform the villagers that after harvesting the rice, they will hurry up and turn the ground and plant the third crop of rice." ”
The village chief put his hands behind his back and walked away, completely different from the hurried footsteps when he first came.
On this night, only the villagers of Xishui Village went home from the fields in the evening to rest, and the villagers of all villages in Shaxi County were busy until the third watch before they were willing to go home to sleep, and the next day, they got up before dawn to continue the harvest.
After more than ten days of hurrying, the rice in each village was basically harvested, and the villagers relaxed a little and were busy planting rice, when news came: General He's attack on Nanyu Island failed, and the 50,000-strong army was almost wiped out.
As soon as this news came out, the people of the entire Shaxi County panicked.
The soldiers stationed in southern Xinjiang are only in their early 100,000s when they were newly recruited a while ago, and the 50,000 army was wiped out, so most of the remaining soldiers are new soldiers, who can withstand the generals of the previous dynasty?
That is a person as powerful as General Yan.
This time, there are really big families in the city who have quietly left and gone to other cities.
Villagers in various villages tried their best to start hiding food.
Weak Xuan still said: "Don't be afraid, you can't beat it." ”
However, she couldn't sit still, and decided to spend the night in the villa tonight and go to see her uncle with Xuanyuan Shenjun.
Old Madam Xuanyuan also gave Lei Pozi a reassurance: "I can't fight, General Yan is already on his way back." The Feiyan Army's dispatch this time is just some generals who are happy to make great achievements, taking advantage of General Yan's absence, wanting to be in the limelight. ”
The old lady Xuanyuan is more well-informed, after the remnants of the previous dynasty occupied Nanyu Island, they colluded frequently with some small overseas countries, and the emperor was worried that they were growing stronger and stronger, which was not conducive to the safety of the people on the border of southern Xinjiang, so he intended to eradicate the remnants of the previous dynasty and recover Nanyu Island, so as to prevent future troubles.
Yan Heng came to Shengping Mansion to serve as the governor of Liangguang for this purpose.
The situation was already set, but he was waiting to send troops to capture Nanyu Island, but he found that there were traitors in the military camp, and it happened that someone in Beijing impeached him for colluding with a married woman.
The emperor urgently summoned him back to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, after Yan Heng returned to Beijing, some people were so self-conscious, so happy, they couldn't stand the provocation and couldn't help but send troops!
This time, he fell into the trap of the enemy and suffered heavy casualties.
However, most of the soldiers were seriously wounded, and not all the troops were wiped out.
Old lady Xuanyuan is very angry, but there are many life-saving elixirs in the imperial army, which are the prescriptions provided by the little grandson before.
As long as Yan Heng rushes back, he will definitely be able to turn things around.
