Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

After a moment of silence, Sheng Changan slowly spoke, "Old Du is still in the forest. His return date is uncertain. Let him go when he comes back."

"Thank you, sir," Li Huilai came just for this matter, and then she left.

Just based on this sentence, she could roughly guess what kind of life these people were leading over there.

There are also Shen Lao Liu and Dashan. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the temperature in the forest will only be low, not high. It should be the hibernation season for snakes now. Why haven't they come back yet?

"Sir, I have an idea." Shen Huaizhi hurried in, accompanied by County Magistrate Wu, both of them with excitement on their faces.

Sheng Changan was a little curious. "What?"

"This time, the thousand Xianbei people returned empty-handed. Next time, there will be just as many people coming, and there may even be some elite soldiers. If we face them head-on, we will be no match for them at all," Shen Huaizhi said with a serious expression.

"The soldiers haven't been training for long and have little combat experience. They've been fighting animals before, and then this time."

"But this time, the newly developed weapons actually cost them a lot of manpower, and only about one or two hundred people escaped."

"Logically speaking, given our advantageous position, we shouldn't have so many people running away. Ultimately, it's because we lack actual combat experience, so I want to use the tunnel."

Tunnel? She remembered that the tunnel had only been built not long ago, but Shen Huaizhi had already come up with the idea of ​​using it to fight?

Sheng Changan was intrigued. "How are you going to stay here?"

"First, transfer all the food to the tunnel. Some people can disperse to the forest and spread out alive. After all, the local people are more familiar with the terrain around here."

"Let them go out and hide for a while. After that, I will lead some of my men to fight them. We will retreat while fighting, leaving an empty city behind."

"Later, we'll use the tunnels to counterattack and train them better. This time, we must keep all these people here to teach them a lesson."

My goodness, Sheng Changan was a little excited. Isn't this the empty city plan plus the underground warfare? He actually mastered it to perfection.

She also knew what he meant. If the Xianbei were not taught a lesson, they would probably come to provoke her from time to time.

But if they are beaten hard enough, they will think twice before taking action next time. They will never attack without absolute certainty.

"No problem, just let them cooperate with you fully, I won't interfere." Leave professional matters to professionals, I really don't know much about fighting.

"I have a map of Guangping County. Lin Chuan is looking for someone to copy it, but the process hasn't started yet. You can use that map to plan your battle plan."

Shen Huaizhi's expression became more and more excited. If there was a map, at least some of the losses could be avoided. "Don't worry, sir. I am confident that I can drive them out of Guangping."

Sheng Changan smiled and said, "I believe you."

Shen Huaizhi was stunned for a moment, looking at the person in front of him with a smile of trust in his eyes and his earlobes stained red. He suddenly realized that the person in front of him had very nice eyes.

Maybe it was because she filled his eyes well, and at this moment he suddenly realized that she was actually a woman.

After nearly half a year back here, Sheng Changan has grown a lot taller and his skin has become much whiter. Although not as white as Shen Huaizhi, his skin color is now normal.

Along with these changes, her chest also began to rise and fall slightly. At least now, if you look closely, you can tell that she is a woman.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Changan blinked in confusion. Why did he suddenly stop talking?

Shen Huaizhi suddenly came to his senses, his face flushed. "I'll go check the map first," he said, and ran out in a panic.

Sheng Changan looked at County Magistrate Wu and asked, "Is he shy?" Just because I said I believed him?

Wu Xiancheng smiled and stroked his beard, knowing that the adults had misunderstood, but he did not explain. "Maybe it was because few people in the past said they believed him so directly."

Sheng Changan suddenly realized that their usual interactions were so natural that she had forgotten that ancient times were so different from modern times. However, this sentence still worked well. At least she had used it to resolve the issue between two people.

"I was just about to tell him about Mr. Shen, but he ran away too fast," Sheng Changan muttered.

"Captain Shen has already asked, and with Master Du here, nothing will happen. Master Shen's kung fu is also very powerful, and together with Li Dashan, he is more than enough to protect himself."

I just don't know why he hasn't come back yet, that's the strange thing.

Wu Xiancheng consoled him, "This is also what Captain Shen thought."

Sheng Changan didn't say anything more. "In that case, you should also make preparations. If the Xianbei attack us, we will leave."

"I'll go back and pack my things right away." County Magistrate Wu was also preparing to raise his hand to say goodbye, mainly because some documents needed to be transferred over early to prevent any accidents from happening in the rush later.

Sheng Changan let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know when the Xianbei were going to come. If it was a little later, this method probably wouldn't work.

After all, it is indeed a little colder in the wild, and the cotton this time is just enough to meet the basic needs of the soldiers. Each household can get a quilt, and there is no other.

However, Da Xitai's identity is different after all. Even if Ashileyan does not want to take action, public opinion will force him to do so.

Even if the newly appointed king died here, he would still let Guangping give an explanation to the Xianbei people, even if this king was not popular among the people.

But for Ashleyan, he himself was not legitimate. If he really wanted to ascend the throne, this was his chance to prove himself.

The only way to give an explanation to the Xianbei people was to massacre Guangping and use her head to sacrifice to Da Xitai.

If this is the case, then he must be present when the city is attacked, otherwise he will definitely be suspected. The person who comes this time may be his confidant.

Judging from what he said at that time, his name must have been on Ashleyan's list, and he might even be planning to take her head as a reward.

Sheng Changan had a headache. Although he had been strengthening his physical strength during this period, compared with Shen Huaizhi and the others, he was definitely still the one lagging behind.

"Sir." Zheng Qing walked in. "Maybe there are still a few people who want to go back."

What she didn't say was that these people wanted her to send someone to escort them. After she refused, although they seemed to have given up, they were already complaining before she had even walked far.

Looking at Zheng Qing's expression, Sheng Changan knew that someone must have said something to complain about. She expected that people would repay her with gratitude and resentment.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. As long as they are willing to walk back by themselves, we can prepare food for them on the way. There is nothing else."

"I understand." Just because of what they said, she didn't even want to give them food. The adults were still too soft-hearted.

Sheng Changan smiled without explaining. She didn't think a woman could go far alone with food in this world. She just wanted to spread Guangping's reputation.

At least tell the people outside that there is no shortage of food here. It would be even better if refugees could come to seek refuge. If someone has bad intentions, it would be a good opportunity for these soldiers to train.

She also saw what happened that day. Some people still didn't dare to kill people, but on the battlefield, if you don't kill others, others will kill you.

If Shen Huaizhi had not noticed it, she might not be able to help but punish them. Every person they let go might become the executioner who stabs themselves or their companions in the future.

After all, they are newly recruited soldiers, and the longest training of them is no more than one year. She can understand this behavior, but she cannot agree with it. On the battlefield, there are only companions and enemies.

A moment of weakness will only bring them disaster. This time no one died because of Shen Huaizhi's backup, but what about next time?

"Sir?" Zheng Qing hesitated. Why did she feel that the sir's expression seemed to be getting more and more serious, as if he was ready to beat someone up at any time?

"It's okay." Sheng Changan collected his scattered thoughts and said, "Move the things in the factory underground as soon as possible."

According to the time, most of those who ran away still had horses. If they traveled day and night, they would probably reach the Xianbei palace soon. Perhaps they would not have to wait too long.

"Also, keep a close eye on these people who are about to leave. I don't want any accidents to happen." Sheng Changan said with a serious expression. She was afraid that some people would get used to accepting their fate after being bullied for a long time.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Zheng Qing also knew the seriousness of the matter. When he met County Magistrate Wu on the way, he also gave him special instructions.
