649 The eldest sister is like a mother 9
As for food, although it is better than that of girls, the farm has so much food, and after paying the land tax, it has to be shared with the tenants of the farmland. There is really not much left. Even if you eat enough every day during the busy farming season, you can only eat half of it in normal times, let alone a boy who can eat at the right time.

Of course, Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng are slightly different from other children. Compared with other boys in the village, the two brothers can be said to have been brought up by education.

First of all, there is no extra fertile land outside the home where vegetables are grown, and there is no land for the brothers to work on. They play when they are young, and when they grow up, they collect firewood and help with some light work. The rest of the work is basically They were all covered by Miao Erying and Miao Sanying under the command of Mrs. Miao.

Secondly, kisses in the next generation, kisses in the next generation, not to mention that Mr. Miao is kind and gentle, and he loves the juniors in the family very much.

Even if Mrs. Miao is patriarchal, Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng are the man she has been looking forward to for more than ten years, and I don't know how many times she prayed to God and prayed to Buddha to get him. You can know what kind of life the two brothers are living at home.

In addition, Father Miao's own son is gone, and the other younger son has died somewhere, so don't you have to treat the two brothers like eyeballs?Beware of being spoiled?
No, the same thing was done by other clansmen who were parents, and those children would be wronged at best, but Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng would be unforgivable villains if they were replaced by Miao Jiancheng and his son.

As for whether the old lady is planning for their future?
How much did the old lady love and spoil his two sons in the past?
Oh, who cares.

Of course, Jian Jian, the big sister, and his two sons were also pulled down. Every night in their dreams, what they chanted was that they wanted Jian Jian to die. They fed.

The new monarch of the Nanman Kingdom is ambitious, and he has been planning to go north to attack the Liang Kingdom not long after he took the position. Therefore, the weapons and equipment of the Nanman army are particularly good at this time, and the food and grass are also particularly sufficient.

Compared with the Nanman who had been planning for a long time, because the old emperor was old and suspicious, Daliang seemed to let a few princes toss about raising Gu. Fraud is commonplace.

The civil servants took over the government, and the corrupt officials and princes confiscated the treasury money in various names, so the army naturally didn't have much military pay.

Without military pay, there is not much food; weapons and armor cannot be replaced and repaired; soldiers and good horses cannot keep up with food, soldiers cannot eat enough and have no strength to train and fight, and horses cannot run. road.

For various reasons, the two armies met each other with swords, and the result can be imagined.

This is why Pingyang Pass was captured so quickly.

After all, since the old emperor was able to send Pingyang Hou to guard Pingyang Pass before, then Pingyang Hou naturally has two brushes, even if he is attacked by a surprise attack, he can quickly react, and then give corresponding countermeasures. It is possible that the southern barbarians fell as soon as they attacked.

However, the fact is that Pingyang Hou died in battle, and Pingyang Pass was captured.

Although there are many political reasons for this, another point is the issue of military pay, weapons, and food.

On this day, Governor Chang Heng was discussing matters with a subordinate in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, just at the moment of excitement, suddenly the sound of communication in the room was cut off.

A sharp arrow came through the air and hit the table between the two chairs in the upper hall with a "clank". The front end of the arrow was tied with a piece of letter paper thinly with cotton thread.

The sudden change made all the generals present terrified, and hurriedly called for someone to investigate the cause.

Governor Chang Heng and the military division looked at each other, raised their hands and waved lightly, and the trusted young general at the back immediately stepped forward, pulled out the arrow, checked it, and made sure that the letter paper was non-toxic and there was nothing on it After clearly marking it, it was respectfully placed on the table.

Governor Chang Heng closed his eyes and asked, "How? What was written on the letter paper?"

The other generals in the hall gave Qiqi a look at the young general.

He dared to do such a daring thing in the Governor's Mansion, and he was not caught after passing, presumably that person must have a high status just now, and the news that he took the trouble to pass in should be the most important news.

The young general didn't feel nervous at all because of the burning eyes of so many people, he was just a little bit speechless.

That person was also too arrogant and confident, which made him feel extremely absurd.

Seeing that his subordinates had remained silent for a long time, Governor Chang Heng looked puzzled. Seeing that the young general did not dare to think wildly, he hurriedly said, "It is said in the letter that tonight he will use all the grain and grass in the Nanman Army's grain and grass battalion as his signature, hoping to join the army to defend girder.

If it is done, then there will be flames at the Nanman garrison in Pingyang City tonight. I hope the commander can clean up the grain camp in time and wait for the new grain to enter the warehouse. "

The young general hadn't finished speaking, but there were frequent breaths of astonishment in the hall.

Listen to what all this said, how to invade the Southern barbarian army garrison and evacuate all the food and grass in their food and grass battalion is such a simple and light thing, the tone is so loud, so crazy.

They believed that this person should be a generation with outstanding martial arts, otherwise they would not be able to enter the heavily guarded governor's mansion like no one.

Similarly, they also believed that the owner of the letter paper could enter and exit the Southern Barbarian Army garrison as easily as entering and exiting the Governor's Mansion.

However, they did not believe what they said in their hearts and evacuated the grain and grass camp. After all, it was a military garrison where [-] Nanman troops were stationed.

Just when the soldiers were about to say something to ridicule the owner of the letter paper, the soldiers who had gone out to investigate the uninvited guest came back.

"Report, there is no suspicious person outside the meeting hall, and there is no trace of that person."

After listening to the soldier's report, the hall was silent again and became heated. All the soldiers couldn't help but forget the previous topic, and they all started discussing what was said on the letter paper and the owner of the letter paper.

Governor Chang Heng listened carefully to the discussion and analysis of his subordinates, and studied arrows and letter paper while listening.

After a cup of tea, seeing that the subordinates were getting more and more disrespectful, Governor Chang Heng hurriedly slapped the table to stop them, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Governor Chang Heng said solemnly: "What are you arguing about? What is there to be arguing about? You haven't seen this person yet?"

"It's only a matter of half a day. Whether it's true or not, we'll find out when it's ugly tonight."

"You all wake up Ben Du tonight."

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the cicadas were singing, and there was an occasional cool wind. It was the time for sleeping in summer. Those who felt sleepy all consciously walked to the city wall, looking at the direction of the southern barbarian army station in Pingyang City, silently, as if waiting and expecting something.

Even so, they understand that this is nothing more than wishful thinking.

The Nanman had planned for a long time, and food and grass were the top priority. If it was so easy to operate, they would have gone by themselves, and it would be his turn.

However, maybe that person really has a strong ability to be right about his arrogant words, after all, the guards of Chang Heng Governor's Mansion are not joking.
