After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Yuxiu had no choice but to put the banknotes away. When she came out of Prince Ning's Mansion, her carriage was loaded with several large packages.

The few female relatives in the mansion were all very considerate and, like the old princess, all gave some banknotes as a thank you.

After a busy day, everything was almost arranged. In the evening, Yuxiu said goodbye to her parents and left alone.

………………

Border.

"How many days can our food and fodder last?"

A middle-aged man in armor walked quickly into the tent and asked tiredly.

"General, I have checked today. According to the current consumption, it probably cannot last for three days..."

The person who spoke was a thin old man named Yu Xin. His job was Yu Shi, and his main job was to manage the food and other supplies needed by the soldiers.

Yu Xin's voice became smaller and smaller. Although he had sent people out to collect food and fodder during this period of time, the roads were blocked by heavy snow and it would probably take a few more days for them to arrive.

The middle-aged man was Xu Jinyi. He walked around the tent several times with a frown on his face, but he couldn't come up with any suitable solution.

A few days ago, I received a letter via carrier pigeon from the capital, saying that we should be careful of the Northern Di people who might take advantage of the heavy snow to launch an attack.

Since the beginning of winter, the Northern Di people have been like annoying flies, coming to the border to cause trouble from time to time. However, they are strong in both men and horses, and most of the harassment is carried out by cavalry. They move to another place after a fight, making it difficult for us to defend ourselves.

By the time you receive the news and send people over, they have already snatched the things and run away.

After receiving the pigeon message, several people in charge held an urgent meeting to discuss countermeasures.

However, it was already too late for them to prepare, as part of their food supplies were burned that day.

Fortunately, the granary was covered with snow, so the fire did not spread to other granaries. Although a part of it was burned, the other food and grass were saved, and the spy who set the fire was caught.

Since they dared to set fire to the granary, they had no hope of survival at all. They ran headfirst into the soldiers' swords and died on the spot.

Xu Jinyi didn't take it to heart and quickly arranged the deployment and patrol. As for the missing food and grass, there would naturally be people in charge of this aspect to raise them.

On the second night after the food and grass were burned, the Northern Di people gathered a large number of troops and marched to Black Bear Pass where Xu Jinyi and his men were.

Black Bear Pass was the first line of defense of the Yuan Dynasty facing the Northern Di people. There were cliffs on both sides forming a natural barrier. In addition, the tall walls of Black Bear Pass were enough to keep the brutal Northern Di people out of the pass.

After several charges, both sides suffered varying degrees of casualties, but in this icy and snowy weather, if the fighting continued for a few more days, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty would face the dilemma of food shortage.

"Keep sending people to collect food and grass. As long as we hold on, support from the imperial court will arrive soon."

As soon as Xu Jinyi finished saying this, he heard another round of noise outside.

"It seems those bastards are attacking the city again. Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy!"

"I will obey your orders!"

The enemy situation was urgent and no one dared to shirk responsibility at this time. They all picked up the weapons at hand and rushed to the city wall.

The Northern Di people were all tall and strong warriors, and their horses were carefully selected. They ate dried meat and dairy products. If Xu Jinyi and others had not taken advantage of the geographical advantage of Black Bear Pass, they might have been no match for them.

"Hahahaha... I heard that all your food and supplies were burned. I think you should just surrender..."

The person coming from the opposite side was Hongkang, the eldest prince of the Beidi people. He had a full beard and a pair of ferocious and bloodthirsty eyes that were filled with determination to capture Black Bear Pass.

"As long as you open the city gate now, I promise you that I will never kill any of you!"

He sat steadily on a tall horse, and his loud voice could be heard from far away.

Hongkang was really telling the truth. If these people were really so obedient, he would lead them to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. By then, they would capture the emperor and occupy the great country of the Yuan Dynasty. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

There was a commotion among the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, but it was quickly stopped by Xu Jinyi.

"We still have plenty of food, and reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon. Don't listen to the lies of the other side!"

Xu Jinyi asked his followers to bring his big knife, and prepared to go out and fight to the death with Hongkang.

As long as you take down the enemy's head, you can severely crush their morale.

"General, why don't you let your subordinates go?"

Seeing that Xu Jinyi was planning to go out and fight the enemy in person, the generals here all proposed to go up first.

"I am willing to go too!"

"Let me go first..."

"All right!"

After a burst of noise, Xu Jinyi waved his hand decisively and jumped onto the horse's back.

He is a great general, and it is an honor for him even if he dies on the battlefield.

The people on the opposite side were still shouting, and the Yuan Dynasty was also making preparations for the battle in an orderly manner. However, no one noticed that behind a shadow on the city wall, a little girl in a snow-white cloak had appeared.

That’s right, this girl was Yuxiu who had just arrived.

Fortunately, she had the small system to guide her along the way, otherwise it would be white everywhere and she might have gone to the wrong place.

After calculating the distance, Qi Siyuan and his group estimated that they would arrive here in two days. As for the 100,000 soldiers following him, it would take at least ten days.

So Yuxiu didn't stop at that time, and directly used the function of space teleportation to quickly enter the Black Bear Pass.

The current situation seems okay to Yuxiu. Perhaps the people in Black Bear Pass have gotten used to it, so even though the Northern Di people are besieging the city and the war is about to break out, there is no sign of panic in the city.

"Hahaha... why are you all hiding like turtles? If you're a man, stop hiding. Hurry up and get out to your grandfather. Let our warriors see whether these weaklings from the Yuan Dynasty can withstand a punch from me..."

"Hahaha... His Royal Highness the First Prince is the real warrior. Those cowards must have been scared out of their wits. How dare they compete with our warriors..."

"Coward!"

"Coward! Hahaha..."

The shouting from the other side was getting louder and louder. Those people were wrapped in thick furs, with strong liquor hanging around their waists to keep warm. At this moment, they were laughing so hard that they were bent over, as if they had won a battle and were ready to celebrate.

The Yuan Dynasty was full of young men full of vigor and vitality. How could they tolerate such humiliation? They all clenched their bows and arrows, jumped up and down, and cursed at the people over there.
