Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The purpose of the capital city exposing the conspiracy and uniting forces that are unwilling to go along with it is to contain Prince Qing and make him have no energy to hunt down the fleeing people.

On the Northern Barbarian side, the plan is also being implemented.

Tiger Head Cliff,

In the northern barbarian's base camp, Altan was drinking.

Sukhbaru seized power. He is no longer the Khan, and even the leader of the tribe has been replaced. If it were not for his special status within the tribe,

That night, I might have died.

"Chief Altan is really in a refined mood."

Suddenly someone broke in, but Altan was not at all panicked and continued to drink and eat meat. He knew someone was coming as early as when he saw them coming.

"You are quite courageous, dare you come?"

"Why not?"

Altan didn't know that the person in front of him, who was dressed in the same attire as the Plum Blossom Secret Guard, was actually not a Plum Blossom Inner Guard, but a Secret Guard.

"Joining forces with others to bring me down, is this the sincerity of your Second Prince? I'm curious how you knew how to win him over."

Heavy cavalry is his trump card, few people know,

The person who showed up to support Sukhbaru that day was none other than the leader of the heavy cavalry, his absolute confidant, and his own son.

"Everyone has weaknesses. Some like women, some like money, and some like power. What do you think your son likes, Chief Altan?"

Altan's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.

"You didn't come here to discuss hobbies with me, did you?"

"I'm here to help you."

The secret guard took out a letter, and Altan was shocked after reading it.

Why was the Khorchin tribe wiped out?

It turned out that Sukhbaru had colluded with Prince Qing. By eliminating Baturu and the Khorchin tribe, he could unite with his eldest son and seize the position of Khan.

Considering the various doubts about this war, Altan is a little bit convinced, but he will not show it. The Plum Blossom Guard is not a good thing either.

Coming to see him might not be out of An's good intentions.

"Tell me your purpose."

Dark Guard Road:

"We've all been fooled by Prince Qing. Your Highness the Second Prince sincerely wanted to cooperate, but you didn't expect Prince Qing to interfere. Your Highness hopes you can take charge of the grassland again."

Altan was silent.

There is a price to pay to regain control of the grassland, and this price is a bit too high for him.

"According to the information I've received, Prince Qing wants to secretly control the northwest, but he can't easily withdraw from the northwest. A great war is inevitable between the Northern Barbarians and Daxia. Your son is eager to achieve success, and the Tumed Tribe will suffer heavy losses. Eventually, the Northern Barbarians will occupy the northwest, and Sukhbaru's prestige will reach its peak. Without the powerful Tumed Tribe as a backing, that will be your death..."

These are all things that have not happened, but if the Northern Barbarians and Daxia have a decisive battle, given his son's character, he will definitely take the Tumed tribe as the vanguard.

The eldest son was brave and suitable for being a vanguard, so Altan let him lead the heavy cavalry, so that no matter which son inherited his position in the future,

The city values ​​the eldest son, and this is his best destination. It's a pity that the son doesn't understand his good intentions.

"How can I believe what you said, things that never happened?"

Doubt already shows that Altan is inclined to believe it, but it is not enough for him to take firm action.

"The capital will contact Sukhbaru soon, hoping you will send troops to intercept the fleeing civilians. It's a trap, deliberately set to trap the Tumed tribe."

Some things don't need to be said much, just look at the results.

Zhou Jin's plan is being carried out in full swing. It is unknown whether it will succeed in the end, but the action to save the people must be carried out.

at night,

Three miles outside Qiu Shui County, the attacking troops were ready to go.

The Zhou family's 800 private soldiers, a secret guard team brought by Zhou San, and 1000 new soldiers led by Zhu Ming,

The new army originally had fewer people, so they temporarily recruited a group of them, gave them simple training, and used them as a reserve force. There were only about 600 people who could really fight.

All the small flags are veterans, which can ensure combat effectiveness.

Behind the attacking troops was the "large army" led by Xue Yanze. Apart from the new secret guards, most of them were ordinary people.

Each member of the village protection team of Tangjia Village, Lijia Village and Yingxiong Village brought 10 civilians with them, with Da Niu, Li Kui and Hu Zi as the leaders.

They had participated in the defense of Tangjia Village, so they were not rookies. This was their first time on the battlefield.

"Don't be nervous. You don't need to attack the city, just create momentum."

Xue Yanze was also on the battlefield for the first time. He seemed to have no fear at all, but was more excited, with a feeling of blood boiling.

It's a pity that they are not the main attackers, but the auxiliary ones.

"The roles of the secret guards are different from those of the soldiers. Unless necessary, do not go to the battlefield. Your battlefield is elsewhere."

Zhou San thought about the Battle of Beishengguan a year ago, when the fourth and fifth brothers led their entire secret guard team to rescue Zhou Jin, but they all died in the end.

If it had been placed behind enemy lines, it would have been more effective, but it's a pity that it died like this.

Blame it on the damned imperial court! Corruption and incompetence!

On the top of the Qiushui County Tower, patrolling soldiers were wearing thin clothes and were timid. They would go to the campfire from time to time to warm themselves. The night wind was still a little chilly.

It would be fine if they had clothes to wear, but this damn thief not only stole money and food, but also stole clothes. He is simply insane!

"There's no food, no clothes, it's really unlucky."

"The northern barbarians have food to eat and clothes to wear."

"I thought I'd have a good life following His Highness, but who knew it would be worse than being a bandit!"

"Horse riding!"

As the night progresses, the temperature drops. I feel so cold with only a piece of cloth covering my body that I can't help but complain.

The troops of Qiushui County are all the direct troops of King Qing, but there are differences between direct troops.

The Imperial Guards are the absolute core. The bandits and desperadoes who are recruited cannot be treated in the same way as the Imperial Guards. There is a difference in their treatment on weekdays. They can eat well and wear warm clothes.

Even if I feel dissatisfied, I won't say it out loud.

Now we are short of food and clothing. We need to feed and clothe our guards. They can endure it if they can. They are good at fighting. No doubt, we should treat the northern barbarians better than them.

I can't tolerate it at all.

Negative emotions affected them. The patrols and gatekeepers became angrier and angrier. They even stopped patrolling and just stayed by the campfire to warm themselves.

Some of them just hug each other and fall asleep soundly. When they fall asleep, they won’t feel cold or hungry.

When Xiao Yunxi used flash to pass through the city gate, everyone was a little dumbfounded. She didn't want to be a slave and just lie down?

It saved him a lot of trouble.

All the secret guards in the space were released. When they took off their blindfolds, they almost screamed out in surprise. They were lurking outside the city just now, how did they get into the city?

Xiao Yunxi was wobbling and couldn't stand steadily, so Zhou Jin quickly went up to hug her.

"what happened to you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. Open the gate quickly."

Space is limited, after all.

When I released the secret guards just now, I felt dizzy. There were only about 10 people. If there were more, I really suspected that I would become a vegetable.
