Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Xiao Yunxi grew up under the red flag and is an extreme nationalist. She is very upset that the great Xia Dynasty was defeated by the barbarians and may even lose the northwest.

She wished she could put on armor and fight against the northern barbarians, letting them have a taste of the power of the hatchet!

however,

Reality is not a movie. The heroism of an individual can determine the outcome of a large-scale war. No matter how high the military strength is, it is just a drop in the ocean in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops.

With the court dragging his feet and his colleagues plotting mischief, even if Li Jing were still alive, he would have no choice but to pack up and run away.

When the news came to Lijia Village, the village chief decisively ordered the villagers to pack up their things and leave quickly.

"We can't leave! If we leave, what will happen to our fields?"

"Yes! I won't leave!"

"I've lost my house and my land. How can I survive?"

"Fight the barbarians!"

The ancestors of Lijia Village came to the northwest when Daxia was first established. After a hundred years of operation, they had houses and land and had taken root there. Escape meant that the whole family's hundred years of hard work had gone to waste.

Even though the village chief had said he would leave long ago, the villagers could not accept it calmly.

The villagers stood in front of the ancestral hall, not feeling the biting north wind, but only feeling a chill in their hearts.

"Village Chief, Beisheng Pass hasn't been breached yet. The prefectural government will definitely take care of it, right? With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can't they stop the barbarians?"

Daxia and the Northern Barbarians have had friction from time to time, and the border troops' combat effectiveness has remained at a relatively high level. Relying on Beisheng Pass, they will definitely be able to hold off the enemy.

The village chief's original idea was similar to that of the villagers. Zhou Jin was worried that the people would make wrong judgments due to information asymmetry and delay their departure, so he made it very clear when conveying the message.

"The Northern Barbarians are pressing in. Up to now, over 8% of the border troops have been killed or wounded. There is still no news of reinforcements from the capital, and it is highly likely that they will not arrive.

The weapons and equipment exchanged for the border troops are all fake goods. They break with a single blow from a sword, and the armor is softer than a golden cake. How can we defend? Last summer, cattle and sheep in the north fell ill on a large scale, and in winter there was a white plague. The barbarians have gone crazy...

The villagers still refused to give up:

"What if it holds? Last year they said it couldn't be held, but in the end it was held?"

During the most critical moment of the Beishengguan battle, they also issued a notice to flee, but they didn't win in the end. But this time it was really different.

The village chief sighed:

"If we can stop them, Tangjia Village will definitely not let us go, let alone tell me the detailed battle report of Beisheng Pass. The situation is very critical. Staying here will just be feeding the barbarians' knives... Let's go to the provincial capital first. It won't be too late to come back after the crisis is over."

Better to be in trouble than to die.

The Tangjiacun sign was still very effective, and someone immediately changed their mind:

"Go, we must go!"

"Village Chief, we must leave quickly and follow Tangjia Village. At least we have someone to look after us."

"The people near Beisheng Pass will soon be heading south. If they don't leave now, it will be difficult to leave."

"Woooooooo..."

Someone started crying, and then a second person followed. The women were in tears and the men had red eyes.

Who would like to become a stray dog ​​and live a life of wandering?

"Woo, woo, I can't bear to do that!"

"I can't bear to leave. My wonderful home is gone."

The village chief's face didn't look good either, but he took a deep breath and straightened his back.

"It's already this late, there's no point in being afraid. Being alive in this world is good enough. No matter what, we have to live, live!!"

The Hero Village was stationed outside Tangjia Village in advance and received the news earlier than Lijia Village. Several disabled uncles cursed fiercely:

"What are the border troops doing? They can't even defend Beisheng Pass!"

"I won't leave. Back then, a broken arm could kill the Northern Barbarians! Why should I run away?"

"Yes, I won't leave!"

"Village chief, you take the women, children, and young men away. We'll stay home. If the northern barbarians come, we'll win if we die!"

The people of Northwest China are not lacking in blood. They are veterans and know better than anyone how difficult the road to escape is. They are unable to move easily and are a burden to the village.

It would be better to fight the northern barbarians one for one, it would be worth dying.

The village chief frowned and waved his hand irritably:

"We are no longer soldiers, but ordinary people. It is not your turn to take the lead in killing the enemy. The young people in the village are inexperienced and need the guidance of the elders. Hurry and pack your things!"

Hu Zi pulled them:

"Escape is so difficult, we can't do it, we need you."

Hey,

The old guys' eyes were red, but they continued to insist, which was a waste of the kindness of the young guys and a bit ungrateful.

Luochuan County,

"Oh no!"

"Beisheng Pass has been breached!"

"The Northern Barbarians are attacking!"

"Everyone, run."

The news that Beisheng Pass was about to be breached and the northern barbarians were about to attack was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the ears of the people in the county.

The gateway to the northwest has been broken. Who can stop the cavalry of the northern barbarians?

Flee to the capital? Not necessarily useful.

Retreating to Yanguan in the south, which is 800 miles away, the cavalry will arrive in the blink of an eye, how can they escape?

Some people's legs went weak and they fell to the ground.

Some people quickly returned home, packed their luggage, and ran away immediately. Now it was not a race of speed with the cavalry, but a race with others. The one who ran ahead had a greater chance of survival.

Luochuan County fell into chaos. Murong Chen organized people to evacuate the people and stuffed Zhou Shiya into the carriage.

"Xiao Yunxi and I agreed to meet 30 miles outside the city. Be careful on the road."

Zhou Shiya's eyes were red.

"you....."

Murong Chen shook his head:

"I am a parent official. I cannot leave. I must protect our children."

The carriage slowly left, Zhou Shiya leaned against the window and was reluctant to leave. Murong Chen forced a smile and waved to her. He didn't know if he would have the chance to see her again.

He wanted to remember his wife's appearance firmly in his mind.

Compared to the chaos in the county town, Tangjia Village is slightly better, just a little bit.

We had informed the villagers in advance and they were very obedient. They had already packed up their important things and were ready to leave at any time. But when the time came to leave, they were very reluctant to leave.

They were reluctant to throw away their hard-earned belongings, including chickens, ducks, tables, chairs, benches, and dowry boxes. They cursed the court for being incompetent and the emperor for being a dog.

The whole village was in chaos,

"Put down all the tables, chairs and benches!"

"Uncle! You're not going to die, you're going to take your coffin with you!"

"This is top-quality wood..."

"How are we going to leave with all this stuff? Put it all down and follow the order of the list Yun Xi gave us."

"Bring food, a small iron pot, a kitchen knife, oil, salt, bedding, cotton clothes, and tarpaulin. You'll need to sleep outdoors, and it'll be cold in the rain and at night!"

"Food, clothing, self-defense, and rain and snow protection are all well prepared for the journey. Don't bring anything else that you don't need!"

Tangjia Village had at least gone through a big battle, and everyone was relatively wealthy. No matter how reluctant they were, at least they were obedient. Although they were tearful and reluctant to leave, they still obeyed honestly.

The other villages around were in complete chaos.

Their lives were not as good as those in Tangjia Village. It was absolutely impossible for them to abandon their belongings and run away without the northern barbarians attacking.

The children cried and the elderly made a fuss, refusing to leave no matter what, saying that they would live and die with their family property. In the end, those who were determined to leave began to hesitate. Should they just not leave?

Anyway, the Northern Barbarians may not be able to break through Beisheng Pass.
