A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Yang Zhi invited Shen Qingqian and others to go into the house to talk. Han Qingshan did not follow them in. He personally led people to move the things from the carriage one by one, and then looked at them one by one.

Han Qingshan was so excited that he almost cried. Of course, it was not because he liked these things so much, but because they were life-saving things!

Their soldiers not only need food and medicine, but also cotton-padded clothes, quilts and coal to keep out the cold!

No one knows better than him how hard and difficult it is for the soldiers to fight in this cold and freezing season! These things are truly a timely help!

In the room, Shen Qingqian gave Yang Zhi the bag that Zhou Susu had given her before she left.

"General Yang, this is something Sister Susu asked us to bring to you. She said everything is fine in the mansion and you don't have to worry.

Also, she told you to be careful and be safe."

Yang Zhi did not open the bundle immediately, but when he heard Shen Qingqian's words, his face showed some emotion.

Even in front of Shen Qingqian and the others, he tried his best to remain calm, but Shen Qingqian could still feel the emotions flowing from his heart.

The husband is fighting far away, and his wife is waiting anxiously.

Zhou Susu was not the only one praying for her husband to return home safely.

Yang Zhi quickly calmed down and asked, "Are Susu and my mother all right?"

Shen Qingqian knew that Zhou Susu was already pregnant when Yang Zhi left, so Yang Zhi would be particularly worried about Zhou Susu's health.

Old Madam Yang is his biological mother, he will definitely miss her.

"General Yang, rest assured, Madam Yang's health is the same as before and she is doing fine.

Sister Susu is doing well too. She asked the doctor to check her pulse before I came, and she said the baby in her belly is doing well too."

Shen Qingqian did not tell Yang Zhi about the affairs of Aunt Zhang in the mansion, for fear that it would affect him.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and a moment of distraction could result in the loss of one's life. Therefore, she could only report good news and not bad news.

"That's good, that's good!"

Yang Zhi seemed relieved.

Shen Qingqian knew that there was nothing more to talk about this topic, so she asked about another matter.

"General Yang, when the army was at Hutou Mountain, the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, and we also had the geographical advantage, so they couldn't gain any advantage at all, so they had to think of a way to launch a sneak attack.

But now, the army has retreated to Xiangyun Town. If Beirong dispatches tens of thousands more soldiers to attack the city, they will overwhelm us in numbers, and we will not be able to withstand it.

You know, this place is relatively close to the Northern Rong. It would only take two or three days to dispatch tens of thousands of people here, but it would take us at least ten days to transfer people back and forth!"

Yang Zhi was not surprised that Shen Qingqian could think of these things. After all, Shen Qingqian had these things in mind and would think about them carefully.

He also patiently explained: "It is probably difficult for Beirong to mobilize troops now! After the Beirong army captured Tongning City, a prince and a princess of Beirong led 200,000 troops to the southern border to support Nanling Kingdom."

"what?"

When Shen Qingqian heard the news, her first reaction was to think of Zhao Yichen! In this case, would the southern border be more dangerous?

"General Yang, do you know what the battle situation is like in the southern border?"

Yang Zhi said: "It shouldn't be too bad. The reason why the court didn't send more troops to support us is because they got the news as soon as possible, so they also sent 200,000 troops to support the southern border.

Besides, it is time-consuming and laborious for the Northern Rong people to travel from here to the southern border.

If they were to pass through our Dai Viet territory, it would also take more than a month. But with the current relationship between the two countries, it is obviously impossible for them to set foot on our territory!

So they need to go around from the east, bypassing half of the Great Yue Kingdom to get there. In this way, it will take them nearly two months to reach the southern border, and they probably haven't arrived yet!"

This puzzled Shen Qingqian. The Northern Rong people did not fight at their own doorstep, but instead took their troops to the southern border to fight. Isn't this a mental disorder?"

She asked, “Why is that?”

Yang Zhi didn't know the relationship between Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen, so he explained, "Before the war started, a delegation from the Northern Rong came to our country and wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Great Yue Kingdom."

Shen Qingqian had heard Zhao Yichen mention this before, but Zhao Yichen had said that neither he nor the emperor were in favor of marriage. Could there be more to come?

Then Yang Zhi continued, "Among the diplomatic envoys, there was a princess named Sang Yu. She fell in love with the fifth prince and brazenly said she wanted to take the fifth prince back to be her consort. But she was humiliated by the fifth prince."

"Ah? There is such a thing?"

This was the first time Shen Qingqian heard about this matter, and Zhao Yichen had never mentioned it to her.

She widened her eyes and asked, "What happened next?"

Yang Zhi didn't think much about it. He just thought that Shen Qingqian would have such a reaction and was also shocked by Sang Yu's words and actions.

“Later, those people from Beirong naturally returned in disappointment, but Princess Sangyu was angered by the Fifth Prince and has been holding a grudge against him ever since.

During this war, Sang Yu heard that the Fifth Prince had led his troops to the battlefield in the southern border, and she had something in mind. After their army occupied Tongning City, she probably felt that they were sure to win, so she couldn't wait to lead the troops to the southern border with Sang Tu.

I heard from the captured Beirong prisoners that Sang Yu also said that she would capture the fifth prince this time and make him her puppet, letting him be at her mercy for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, Shen Qingqian's face slapped twice, and she didn't know what to say!

I was just thinking, when I go back this time, do I have to make another trip to the southern border?

Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, Yang Zhi thought that she was still worried about the safety of Xiangyun Town, and then he said: Although the 100,000-strong army of Beirong captured Tongning City, they also paid a heavy price. When they occupied Tongning City, there were only more than 40,000 people left.

Later, Sang Tu and Sang Yu took 200,000 troops to the southern border, but left only 50,000 troops here. Together with the 40,000 troops in Tongning City, the total number was 90,000.

Not long ago, our army had a battle with the Beirong bandits at the foot of Hutou Mountain. They were at a disadvantage and retreated on their own initiative.

The battle did not last long, so the losses on both sides were not great.

So even though our army now only has 70,000 men, they only have less than 10,000 more than us. If we really fight, we won't necessarily lose!

We were worried about food and grass before, but now Miss Shen has helped us solve our worries. We are more confident in defeating Beirong and protecting Xiangyun Town."
