"We must not let our guard down now."

"Within a month, we will capture Xiao Su. At the same time, we will kill all those who are invading and causing trouble in the surrounding areas. As for the foreign powers that are colluding with Xiao Su from the inside, we will directly attack their leaders."

Xie Shuheng was not a kind person before, and he is even less so now.

Shen Huichuan looked at Xie Shuheng and said, "Brother Xie, didn't you explain these things a long time ago? We've been listening to you all."

"You don't need to put in too much effort, everyone is here, just follow the schedule."

"I must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

As he said this, Shen Huichuan looked at Xie Shuheng, speechless: "Brother Xie, tell me the truth, did you upset your wife and want to go back and coax her as soon as possible?"

Xie Shuheng shook his head as he said this: "No."

"Do you need to tell me about our relationship?"

"whispering sound!"

Shen Huichuan glanced at him disdainfully: "If it had nothing to do with your sister-in-law, you wouldn't have sped up the process. Why are you rushing back so soon?"

It looks like I'll be able to find out about their family again.

Xu Yao also looked over cautiously: "Brother Xie, what happened to your family? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"If not, I'll need to gain more experience in dealing with my cousin Xiuhe."

"Xiuhe is Jiang Niangzi's cousin, and I will be your cousin-in-law in the future."

"..."

Xie Shuheng's refusal was met with a bitter rebuke from Xu Yao.

But even so, it was still nothing to him.

“We are happy together every day, and we are having a great time. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

“Yunniang is doing well at home. You all should take care of your own things and not worry about our family all the time. We are busy with our second child.”

As expected, Xie Shuheng's words made the other two so jealous they didn't know what to say.

He was relieved.

After sending the two of them off to sleep, he also took a break to relax for a while.

When I close my eyes, all I see is Yunniang.

When you like someone, you inevitably feel anxious and insecure because of her.

Even knowing that Yunniang was determined to choose him, he was still worried that he couldn't give her a particularly good life.

Nowadays, whether it's Lu Shao or Xu Ping'an, whom he has always disliked, they are all able to give Yunniang a better life, at least better than before.

Previously, Xie Shuheng had always looked down on these people because of his arrogance.

But now, it is indeed him who has put Yunniang in danger.

Those people used all sorts of methods to get close to Yunniang, or even wanted to assassinate her. Even someone like Xu Ping'an, who had no ability whatsoever, wanted to take action, which shows that...

They all knew that Yunniang was their weakness, which was Xie Shuheng's dereliction of duty.

In his life, he didn't want to do anything but simply protect the people he loved, protect his parents, or live a peaceful and happy life, working the land together and keeping warm in each other's arms. It sounds so simple, so why is it so difficult to actually put into practice?

He simply wanted his beloved woman to live a good life; what's wrong with that?

Lighting the candle, Xie Shuheng reread the things Yunniang had written to him all night, about everything she remembered from her rebirth, about the battlefield.

Looking at the familiar handwriting and the delicate, elegant characters written on it, each one full, rounded, and even graceful, he found them all extremely precious, as if they could indeed alleviate his longing for her.

When I can't sleep, I write letters home.

The soldiers have always been like this.

Xie Shuheng wrote several pages to Yunniang and his mother in one go. When he first entered the army, he liked to keep his secrets to himself and was unwilling to tell others.

Therefore, they are very sparing with words and even quite reserved.

Now it seems that no one can care about so much anymore. Perhaps it is because they already knew that this was a do-or-die battle, so everyone writes their family letters as if they were wills.

That would be much better.

Xie Shuheng thought it over and over and wrote a lot, but then put it all away and wrote to Yunniang: Everything is fine.

He has always kept this practice, and there are still many, many more letters he has hidden away.

None of these were shown to Yunniang.

At the same time, Xu Yao wrote a letter, one for his father, and another for Jiang Niangzi to thank her for taking care of his father. There was also a separate letter for Chun Geng and Xiu He.

I hope they are well every day.

Who doesn't know that their neck is hanging over swords?

Everyone knew that there were endless things waiting behind them, and that what they might see tomorrow was a corpse.

Of course, it's good to see the corpses, otherwise most of them are headless corpses, buried in the soil.

But they had no regrets about sacrificing their lives for their country. As long as they could continue doing what they wanted to do, they could persevere for a long time.

The next day, Xie Shuheng mounted his warhorse, followed by soldiers from the Northwest and those who came from the Northeast to provide assistance.

Lan Hai led another group of people to guard another position.

Almost all of them were able to perform their duties effectively, and no one backed down.

"Let's go!"

Xie Shuheng raised his longsword, and the soldiers behind him were filled with high morale. The war drums sounded, signaling the moment for a decisive battle.

This period of time will last for a month... two months...

No one knows exactly how long it will take.

-

After a month, the food supplies ran out.

The imperial court did not supply food. Xiao Su's side was well-fed, but Xie Shuheng's side was cut off.

No rush, Jiang Zhiyun's prepared granary will be replenished immediately!

Yunniang had already planned it out. At this time, all those boundless acres of fertile land were planted with things that could be eaten quickly, such as sweet potatoes, corn, or wheat.

These things were all established by Yunniang and several high-ranking officials. To be precise, there were no incompetent people under Jiang Zhiyun's command; each and every one of them was incredibly capable.

All my thoughts are on this kind of thing.

Xia Lan was constantly taking inventory of supplies and spending all day with the ledgers.

Yunniang went over and asked, "Do we have enough food?"

"That's enough, Madam Jiang. Enough for them to fight for two months, but whether they can win after two months is another matter. Should we prepare in advance?"

“No need.” Jiang Zhiyun shook her head: “A month or so is enough for Xie Shuheng.”

"It should be in the next day or two."

"Now we can focus on running the business and wait for news. I'm keeping a close eye on the people here and their sentiments."

Jiang Zhiyun said, "The best thing to do is to keep everyone's mindset stable."

Now, the entire Northwest, plus the Northeast and Southwest.

In these places, the hearts of the people almost entirely belong to Xie Shuheng, and Jiang Zhiyun and he have always cooperated well in winning each other over.

If you want to save someone from dire straits, you can't just do it silently.

We not only need to save people, but also let them know that the situation is not easy to navigate.

Finally, it rained heavily for ten consecutive days.

Xia Lan said worriedly, "Madam Jiang, I wonder how Xie Langjun and the others are doing now? Will this heavy rain affect their operations?"

"It will have an impact, but it's also an opportunity."

Jiang Zhiyun said, "That's fine."

She spoke with conviction, but her heart was already pounding with anxiety.

But she can only convince others if she believes it herself.

Xia Lan nodded.

Zhang rushed in from outside in a panic: "Coming! Coming!"

"The battle report is here!"
