Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Zhuzi didn't believe it.

It is not difficult to defeat the Northern Barbarians, but it is unrealistic to annihilate them completely. The main reason is that the Northern Barbarians are on horseback and can run very fast. Moreover, the Northern Barbarian camp is very close, so even if they are surrounded,

It will take time to be annihilated, and people will definitely be able to rescue us in time.

Zhou Jin explained the plan in great detail, including the backup plan, but the problem remained: how could he kill the pursuing soldiers from the Northern Barbarians in a short time?

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhou Jin and Xiao Yunxi, it's that what they said was too mysterious and beyond his imagination.

Even if it can be done, there are still follow-up plans that require the cooperation of the two guards. It can be said that according to the plan, the first battle will be the final battle, and the casualties will definitely not be small.

There will definitely be casualties in the war. What he is worried about is that the casualties here are too heavy. If Beisheng Pass is attacked and there is a shortage of troops, it will be a big problem.

Take out the bomb and show the pillar its power?

Forget it.

The crux of the problem lies at Beishengguan. Zhou Jin decided to write a letter to Murong Hai. As long as he reveals Zhou Jin's identity, he believes Murong Hai will cooperate.

.....

Tangjia Village,

Murong Chen has left to mobilize other villages and towns. The village chief gathered the villagers together.

"The workshop will be temporarily closed. Every household should pack up their silver, jewelry, and valuables, as well as their food and pots, and be ready to leave at any time."

The scene suddenly became buzzing.

"Village chief, are the northern barbarians attacking?"

"These beasts are going to do evil again!"

"You damn thing, you only know how to harm people."

The village chief was smoking a pipe, and the smoke was curling around his face, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Xiao Yunxi and Murong Chen told him clearly that there were northern barbarians in Wild Boar Ridge. He was struggling with whether to tell the truth.

To be honest, the villagers are so worried that they can't sleep, and they may even spread the news everywhere. After all, everyone has relatives, and this matter cannot be concealed.

If he didn't tell anyone, he was worried that someone would not take it seriously.

Hey!

Damn this world.

A similar situation occurred in Lijia Village.

"Village chief, are the barbarians really attacking?"

"Life is finally getting better. These northern barbarians are still haunting us!"

"Why are you running? Let's fight them!"

spell?

What to fight for?

There are more than enough barbarians in the north, but they are not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

"Shut up, everyone!"

The village chief of Lijia Village is Li Han. Although he is almost 60 years old, he is in good health. His voice is loud and can drown out the noise.

The younger generation all looked at him obediently.

The head of Tangjia Village is also the clan leader. All the villagers have the surname Tang, which makes it easier to manage. A mixed-inhabited village is more difficult to manage and it is difficult to reach a consensus.

Lijia Village is a mixed-population village, but Li Han's prestige in the village is no less than that of the village chief.

He escaped from a pile of dead bodies. He was awe-inspiring without being angry, fair in his work, and capable. The people in Lijia Village were all descendants of military households and respected him very much.

Otherwise, if Tangjia Village was attacked, Li Kui would not have been able to bring so many people to help without his approval.

"The workshop in Tangjia Village has temporarily stopped operations, and the county magistrate also said that we should be prepared to evacuate at any time. No matter what the reason, we should be prepared. It's better to be prepared than to be in a panic when something really happens."

Li Han made the final decision. The same situation also happened in Hero Village.

The people in Yingxiong Village are all military households. They do things simply and roughly. Just follow the smart ones. Tangjia Village has a good relationship with the county magistrate. They are all packing up and preparing to evacuate. You will be right if you follow them!

"Village Chief, I say we pack up our things, take some money and food, and head straight to Tangjia Village to meet up. We should set up camp outside to prevent any danger from coming and us from being able to keep up."

The villagers responded positively to Hu Zi's suggestion, and the village chief waved his hand:

"Pack everything and leave in two hours!"

Tangjia Village didn't know that the villagers of Yingxiong Village were packing up their things and preparing to join them. After they re-divided the village, the houses were not yet built.

You can come and set up a tent.

County,

When Zheng Tianming came back from Tangjia Village, he gathered his men and reminded them that things were not peaceful recently and the northern barbarians could attack at any time, so it was better for the family to be prepared.

He must not tell anyone directly that there are northern barbarians in Wild Boar Ridge. If it gets out and causes chaos, he will be the first to suffer.

He is close to Murong Chen and Xiao Yunxi, and many people regard him as a thorn in their side. He is determined not to do anything that would give his opponents a handle, and he has already done his best to remind his fellows.

"Boss, are the northern barbarians really coming?"

Shopkeeper Hong was Zheng Tianming's trusted general. He asked directly when he had questions. Zheng Tianming sighed:

"We have confirmed the news. We will definitely fight. If things go wrong, it might even spread to the county. You should prepare early."

Although it was a bit risky, Manager Hong was a good person. He trusted Zheng Tianming and hurried back to make preparations in advance. He even considered whether to sell the house.

He followed Zheng Tianming and had money in hand, so he bought two small shops in Dongshan Town, his base camp.

If I can't take the shop with me and the northern barbarians attack me, won't it be a waste of money for those barbarians?

Compared to his hesitation, Zheng Tianming was much more decisive.

Most of the shops and houses were sold, and the people in the pawnshop were very happy, but many merchants who did business with Zheng Tianming were worried.

Could it be that Zheng Tianming encountered trouble and wanted to run away?

People in ancient times would not easily sell their shops and houses unless it was necessary. Zheng Tianming suddenly sold so many properties, and the prices were relatively low, which made people suspicious.

The agents of snacks such as popcorn and French fries, who were in charge in the county, came to the door one after another and tried to insinuate things.

"I'm not running away. I heard from merchants in the Western Regions that the northern barbarians on the grasslands suffered a white plague this year, and many cattle and sheep died. Life is difficult. I'm worried that they will move south. I can't take the things in my shop and house with me. I'll exchange them for money to make myself feel at ease."

Falsehood and truth are all he can do. As for how these people make their decisions, it has nothing to do with him.

Zheng Tianming's decisiveness is a result of his keen intuition and trust in Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi suggested that he be prepared.

If the Northern Barbarians really occupied the northwest, he would have money in his hands and could make a comeback wherever he went.

Even if the crisis is finally resolved and the shop and house are bought back, at most the loss will be some money, which is better than losing everything.

And food,

Xiao Yunxi asked him to purchase grain and salt. The third batch has been delivered to Tangjia Village, and all the subsequent purchases will be placed in a house under his name.

It is very close to the official road.

If the northern barbarians attack, Tangjia Village will definitely go south and pass by that house.

After finishing the things at hand, he always felt a little uneasy.

There is a road from Wild Boar Ridge to the grassland. Even if this group of northern barbarians is eliminated, there will be another group, unless the court builds a city or garrisons at the passage from Wild Boar Ridge to the grassland.

Otherwise, it will never be possible to prevent the sudden appearance of northern barbarians in the northwest hinterland.

Xiao Yunxi was worried about this. She had a feeling that the northwest could not be defended this time and might have to run away. Zheng Tianming decided to go to Tangjia Village.

If the northern barbarians really attacked, it would be safer to escape with Tangjia Village. He believed in Xiao Yunxi.
