Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Zhao Mingyuan got the news from Yao Shoude, and also heard Yao Shoude mention that Mafengzhai was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was difficult for outsiders to get close.

He did not lead a large army with him, but only led a few trusted men to the foot of Mafengzhai alone.

It is indeed difficult to approach Mafeng Village. Just looking halfway up the mountain, you can vaguely see a tall building with people on duty.

Moreover, there is not just one such building, but one every ten meters or so, scattered everywhere. No wonder outsiders cannot attack it by force.

We were discovered before we even got close, and we were always on the lookout for danger. Those stilt houses seemed not far away, but they were actually not that close.

In addition to the obstacle of distance, it is also difficult to travel in the deep mountains. Even the herbalists who collect herbs in the mountains all year round cannot guarantee that they will be able to come out safely after entering.

Not to mention that Mafeng Village has more manpower, all of which were expanded by Ma Dahong after he conquered other bandit villages. Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan has no advantage in any aspect.

It is extremely difficult to capture Mafeng Village, but Zhao Mingyuan will not give up easily. It is just a bandit village.

He suspected that the bandit who colluded with Yilan Kingdom was Ma Dahang from Mafengzhai. According to Yao Shoude, he suspected that there was also a traitor in the county government, but he didn't know who it was.

The country of Yilan has a small land area, but its military strength is relatively strong. Although it lives next to Da Qi, it is not friendly with the neighbor at all. Instead, it occasionally tests and provokes the border and harasses the people, but it does not do anything big.

It's really like a toad jumping on its instep. It doesn't bite people, but it annoys people.

Zhao Mingyuan and Zhao Wu had already made plans before coming here. They were determined to deal a severe blow to the Yilan Kingdom, so that the country would not even dare to provoke them.

By the way, it will also deter the surrounding countries that are dependent on it and have good relations with it, otherwise it will be annoying to invade the border again and again.

In fact, what would be wrong with destroying the Yilan Kingdom in one fell swoop? But they couldn't. The Great Qi, with its internal and external troubles and tight treasury, could not withstand years of war.

Because not only the situation in Liuguan Town was difficult, but the north where the Marquis of Zhenbei was stationed was also harassed by foreign enemies. The food and grass of Da Qi could not support both places at the same time, so the commander-in-chief often had to find a way.

If it were not for this, Zhao Mingyuan would not have temporarily withdrawn his troops to concentrate his forces to deal with the bandits. On the one hand, he could plunder gold, silver and other valuables to replenish food and grass, and on the other hand, he could be an spies for the Yilan Kingdom, so that when the war broke out, he would not be afraid of losing the rear.

As for how to capture Mafeng Village, Zhao Mingyuan had to go back and discuss it with his father.

In Kaoshan Village, Liu Feng was worried about the things happening in Liuguan Town and had no appetite.

Xiao Zhengping also took the opportunity to listen to Liu Feng talk more about the border affairs. He heard that Zhao Mingyuan was suppressing bandits and it was very dangerous. Xiao Zhengping was also very worried about Zhao Mingyuan.

I thought I should tell my sister later how difficult it is for Brother Mingyuan.

In fact, Liu Feng also had his own little thoughts. General Zhao was indeed very hard-working every day, and suppressing bandits was not an easy job.

If he talked more about the general's difficulties, wouldn't the county lord feel more sorry for the general and treat him better in the future?

Moreover, the general took time out of his busy schedule to ask him to come all the way to deliver something to the county lady. He had to take credit for his general.

After Xiao Wan returned, she finished writing the letter to Zhao Mingyuan, and then went to the kitchen to worry about how to bring so many things to Liu Feng.

After Liu Feng learned about this, he also went to the kitchen, thinking that it was okay and that he was not afraid of the heavy things and could carry them himself.

However, when he arrived at the kitchen and saw the food scattered all over the floor as Xiao Wan pointed out to him, Liu Feng couldn't even utter the word "it doesn't matter". He opened his mouth in surprise and said, "This... so much."

Xiao Wan also felt a little embarrassed, and worked with Aunt Zhang to streamline some things.

She knew that during training for war, it was good enough to have something to eat, and she couldn't be too picky. But if possible, she still hoped that Zhao Mingyuan would eat better, after all, swords and knives had no mercy on the battlefield.

He also went to suppress bandits. Just think about it, the border is very dangerous and the people are tough. Those bandits kill people without blinking an eye. Zhao Mingyuan must have had a hard time.

But it is really difficult for Liu Feng to carry all these things alone.

Seeing that Liu Feng opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, she felt a little embarrassed. Finally, with the help of Aunt Zhang, she reduced the food by more than half, but still had to take the hot pot base.

Liu Feng didn't understand what the red oil block was for, so Xiao Wan said she would cook hot pot for him in the evening.

Tian Qing was also explaining to him what hot pot was, but Liu Feng didn't take it too seriously. After all, the dishes cooked by the county lady were all delicious.

It’s hotpot, so the taste must be good.
