Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The warriors of Beisheng Pass were fighting bloody battles with the northern barbarians while wearing inferior equipment, while the leaders of the capital were still arguing with each other.

When Yan Hao, the deputy commander of the capital, received the imperial court's appointment notice, he suppressed his anger and invited the governor and the provincial governor.

"The imperial court has declared war in the northwest and needs to recruit 5 soldiers."

The censor had a dark face:

"This should be the job of the Metropolitan Commandery. There's no need to notify the Criminal Investigation Department."

The governor nodded in agreement.

"The commander-in-chief appointed by the court is Murong Hai. He is at Beisheng Pass and unable to recruit soldiers. He needs the assistance of the two adults."

In theory, recruiting soldiers is the responsibility of the Commandery, and during wartime the other two departments need to cooperate with the Commandery, but there is no clear boundary on how to cooperate.

The governors and provincial judges in the northwest belong to different camps. Murong Hai was originally a member of the prince's party. Could he cooperate with them?

funny.

The result of the argument was a bad ending. Yan Hao was the deputy commander of the capital, and his rank was lower than the other two. He didn't even have the qualifications to slam the table, and was very angry.

"damn it!"

"We agreed that the position of the commander-in-chief was mine, why should it be given to Murong Hai?"

"Why!"

Yan Hao growled wantonly, venting his dissatisfaction.

in the shadow,

The Plum Blossom Guard came slowly over, grinning, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth:

"Sir, it's not easy to be a commander-in-chief."

Yang Hao sneered:

"I think Your Highness is destroying the bridge after crossing it."

He didn't want to offend the prince, but because of what he had done, the second prince promised to give him the position of commander-in-chief. Now it was Murong Hai, and he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.

“Hehe…”

The sinister laughter of the Plum Blossom Inner Guard members made one's scalp tingle:

"Your Highness's intentions will become clear once you have read this secret report."

As a result, Yan Hao's face changed drastically when he saw the secret report in his hand.

“You guys tricked me!!”

The Plum Blossom Guard looked directly into his murderous eyes and said slowly:

"Your Highness needs someone to take responsibility for the whole thing. You can refuse, but the captain escorting the military department is your man. You must think carefully."

Yan Hao's face has become increasingly gloomy.

He has really been cheated and is now on the pirate ship. He can't get off even if he wants to. He must cooperate with His Highness's plan.

But he couldn't understand why the second prince would do such a thing?

He has an absolute advantage in the fight for the crown prince. What benefit will it bring him to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?

Just to get the northwest?

It is simply putting the cart before the horse and tarnishing one's own path to the throne. It is truly unwise.

Prince Chu's Palace,

Recently, things have not been going well for the Second Prince.

He spent 100 million taels to buy the ten-foot-tall Buddha statue as a gift to his father. His father seemed happy but also unhappy, which was hard to predict.

The rumors must have had an impact. He made up his mind to keep a low profile and stay indoors for a short time. The position of Northwest Commander was directly given to Murong Hai.

The northern barbarians are attacking us. Will the northwest plan be ruined?

"damn it!"

"Murong Hai, you bastard, you have to defend the northwest!"

"My blood and sweat!"

I'm afraid the northwest can't be defended.

When Zhou Jin received the intelligence from Beisheng Pass, he was counting supplies and prisoners of war.

The Northern Barbarian army was completely wiped out. There were less than 1000 people left in the camp, and they were wiped out in one encounter. They successfully captured the Northern Barbarian camp.

3000 horses, enough food for seven days for the men, other military supplies, and countless cattle and sheep.

It is very characteristic of northern barbarians, taking cattle and sheep with them when they go to war.

"Beisheng Pass is in danger. Zhuzi and the others need to go back for help. I'm afraid these supplies can't be transported."

If it can't be transported, it can't be wasted.

"Then burn it and take away the useful ones."

Xiao Yunxi took Zhou San and went through each room of the warehouse. She took away the things inside, burned the empty shells, and destroyed all traces. No one knew that she had put the things into the space.

Grain, harvest,

Equipment, collect.

Weapons and armor, collect,

It is not easy to collect all the cattle and sheep.

The extra hill in the space is very large, but it cannot accommodate so many cattle and sheep. Besides, if we take them all in, we will be exposed.

The captured servants were originally responsible for raising cattle and sheep. They continued their work and drove the remaining cattle and sheep down the mountain.

All the horses were given to Zhuzi, and they rode on horseback to reinforce Beisheng Pass. The remaining soldiers traveled light and marched quickly to Beisheng Pass, hoping that Beisheng Pass could be defended.

Even if we hold on for two days, the troops from the capital should arrive.

It was already midnight when Xiao Yunxi and Zhou Jin escorted the captives and drove the sheep back to Tangjia Village.

in the living room,

Niuniu was woken up, rubbed her eyes and threw herself into Xiao Yunxi's arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

The little girl was very dependent on Xiao Yunxi. She hadn't seen her for two days and missed her very much. She lay in her arms, rubbing her eyes, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Carry her to the bed, cover her with the quilt, chat with Dabao and Xiaobao, then when she is too sleepy, simply wash up and fall asleep on the bed.

Zhou Jin is still not idle.

The weapons and armor sent by the Ministry of War had problems, resulting in greater-than-expected losses at Beisheng Pass. More than half of the two guards were killed or wounded. Murong Hai didn't have time to take care of it, but he wanted to take care of it.

"Go to Taoshan County and inspect the battle scene. Send someone to track down the people from the Ministry of War. If possible, apprehend them and interrogate them on the spot. If they have a large group of people around them, don't alert them. Send someone from the prefectural government to keep an eye on Yan Hao and have them send troops to support Beisheng Pass as soon as possible."

There were not many secret guards to begin with, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in the Battle of Beisheng Pass. A hundred or so people supporting Beisheng Pass would not have much effect. They would urge reinforcements and eliminate the traitors, at least so that Murong Hai would have no worries.

The passage leading to the grassland on the Wild Boar Ridge was blown up. It is impossible for the northern barbarians to come over in a short time. By defending Beisheng Pass, we are defending the northwest!

However, the situation is not optimistic.

Just after the hour of Mao the next day, there was still no news from the secret guards sent out, and the battle report from Beisheng Pass was sent back.

Zhuzi was seriously injured and Murong Hai was slightly injured. The two garrisons that went back to provide support yesterday suffered 8% casualties, and the casualties in the original two garrisons increased to 9%.

There is no news of reinforcements, and there is a high probability that Beisheng Pass will not be able to be defended.

"What does General Murong say?"

"He said he would live and die with Beishengguan."

Xiao Yunxi's expression was extremely ugly.

“Some people really deserve to die!”

It is obvious that the Northwest War is a complete conspiracy, the purpose of which is to cause the fall of the Northwest. I don’t know what benefits this will bring to them, but they deserve to die anyway!

He looked far to the north, unable to calm down for a long time

"You want to go?"

Zhou Jin shook his head.

A soldier must die on the battlefield, and he had done so before and still does so. Reality told him that a brave general could not save Daxia.

If the imperial court wants to build the Haiqing River Weir and avoid these dirty things, the right way is to change the world.

"I could do that half a year ago, and now my mission is to help Dabao ascend the throne."

Xiao Yunxi could understand his feelings.

Only by holding the power to make rules can we truly change Daxia.
