Chapter 148
"no!"

After listening to Qiu Liming's words, Shen Yuexi immediately expressed her objection.

If the other party was on guard, wouldn't Qiu Liming and the thousand soldiers all die.

The soldiers were all dead, and Xiao Zhuo's family property was gone.No matter how much the people in the village supported Xiao Zhuo, they could not replace these well-trained soldiers.

She really wanted to keep Xiaogang Village because it was Xiao Zhuo's base.But if the army is gone, what are the bases for?

Qiu Liming misunderstood what she meant, thinking that the mistress couldn't bear to let them die, and was so moved that his eyes were red:
"The mistress is so generous, she will be smashed to pieces, and she will not be able to repay her."

Shen Yuexi gave him a little support with her hand, motioned him to stand up, and said: "General Qiu, you and General Meng are all generals that my husband relies on. If you have an accident on the battlefield, my husband will have no one to rely on." .I won’t allow you to steal the camp.”

As long as the green hills remain, we don’t have to worry about running out of firewood.

Qiu Liming said in embarrassment: "But... mistress, if you don't strike first, Xirong will definitely sneak attack at night."

"Call all the soldiers, together with the 1000 people from Qianglin," Shen Yuexi said firmly, "Don't move during the day, and quietly retreat to Baixiu Mountain when it gets dark."

Between protecting the villagers or protecting the army, she chose the latter.

As for the villagers of Xiaogang Village, they are unwilling to leave and can only let them fend for themselves.

Qiu Liming was overjoyed, he found that the mistress suddenly became enlightened.

Even if the protagonist is covered with iron, he can't drive a few nails.If you really want to fight tens of thousands of enemy troops, the strength of one person is negligible, and if he stands still and let him chop him, he will be exhausted to death.The army in his hands is the foundation of his foothold.

After the agreement was reached, Qiu Liming notified the soldiers of the news.

Yang Cong happened to come back from Xiaogang Village. Seeing that the soldiers in the city were packing their bags, he went to Shen Yuexi in confusion and asked, "Mother, what are these soldiers doing?"

Shen Yuexi said: "The Xirong army may come over the mountain at night, we can't stop it, so we decided to withdraw."

"Ah!" Yang Cong was taken aback, "Then don't keep it?"

"No more," Shen Yuexi got on the horse and said to Yang Cong, "You get on the horse too, let's go to the village and talk to everyone about the situation, and it's up to them if we leave or not."

If the army wants to withdraw, no matter what the reason is, the villagers must be notified.As for whether the villagers still firmly believe that the gods can bless them, then she doesn't ask.

The two hurried to Xiaogang Village, Shen Yuexi reined in his horse and looked at the lively village in front of him.

It was noon.Smoke billows from the kitchen, chickens crow and dogs bark.The child's little face was flushed red from the cold wind, and he ran and chased on the street.

Behind her, the [-] Xirong army is watching. Just tonight, iron hooves will step over here.

If it's still possible, she really wants to guard this place.This is the first place where she and Xiao Zhuo came to the outside of the pass.Here, we will jointly resist the Xirong army and build villages.

Seeing her sad expression, Yang Cong said in a low voice, "Mistress, are you reluctant?"

She could see Shen Yuexi's reluctance.Shen Yuexi is different from those cold-blooded generals. She must have gone through a lot of torture when she made the decision to withdraw.

Shen Yuexi nodded: "If Xirong comes, this place will be turned into ruins."

"Ma'am, I just looked away." Yang Cong and Shen Yuexi reined in their horses and walked into the village together. "As long as everyone is alive, it's okay if the house is gone. Just build it again. This place is too close to Xirong and far away from the imperial court. It’s too far away. We are worried all day long, if the city at Langya Pass is built, we don’t have to worry about Xirong anymore.”

Shen Yuexi looked back to the north.

Yang Cong is right, once the city is built, there is no need to worry about Xi Rong's intrusion.

But building a city is not a day's work at all. When the big bears have exhausted their energy, the city wall has only been built to a small extent.It is no easy task to build a city that can withstand the enemy's attack and where the people can live.

"Mother, what does the spirit mean?" Yang Cong asked seriously.

"God...I don't know God," Shen Yuexi shook her head and smiled wryly, "How do I know what he's thinking?"

Yang Cong scratched his head and said, "The gods opened up a road for us and built a city. I always feel that the gods are going to tell us something, what is it?"

"What else can it be? The spiritual power of the gods is exhausted." Shen Yuexi replied casually.

"Ah, mistress, how do you know?" Yang Cong opened his mouth wide, looking extremely surprised.

Shen Yuexi couldn't help raising her hand to cover her mouth: "It's just a wild guess. Don't talk about it, it's time to go."

The two came to Li Zheng's house. Li Zheng's house had just killed a chicken, and Li Zheng was using boiling water to molt the chicken in the yard.Shen Yuexi stepped forward and explained the situation to Lizheng.

Sure enough, as she expected, Lizheng still gave the same answer.

"Crown princess, the old man said long ago that we villagers were born here and died here. When you were not here before, we were plundered by Xi Rong all the year round, we were poor and destitute, and we never left," Li Zheng said as he plucked his hair , "If the gods bless us, we will naturally survive. If not, we will die here without complaint."

"Where are the new villagers, will they leave?" Yang Cong asked.

"If they want to leave, they will leave with the army. We people will never leave." Li Zheng picked up the chicken, "Since the princess is here, if you don't give up, let's eat here at noon?"

Shen Yuexi was pretentious and didn't have the heart to eat at all, so she declined Li Zheng's invitation.

The two left the yard and came to the square.

The grain and grass sent by General Wei before were piled up in a temporary shed on the square.

"Let's take the food and grass away too. Thousands of people have come to Baixiu Mountain, and there must be not enough food there." Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong said.

She felt a little strange.

Didn't Emperor Yongde strictly prohibit the Yan army from leaving the customs, and there was also Zhao Mu's military order.How could General Wei dare to blatantly transport so much food and grass, almost occupying more than half of the square.

Just as he was wondering, a villager in the distance ran over in a hurry, dancing and shouting: "The army is coming, the army is coming. Tell everyone!"

army?

Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong looked at each other, and hurriedly rode their horses to meet the villager.

"What army are you talking about?" Shen Yuexi stopped in front of the villagers and asked.

The villagers excitedly pointed to the south of the village: "It's our army, it's our Dayan army!"

Without waiting for Shen Yuexi to ask again, he had already run to the village, shouting all the way, causing the villagers who were eating at home to stand at the door to watch.

Dayan's army has left the border?
Shen Yuexi's first thought was: Could it be that they came to arrest her and Xiao Zhuo?
After thinking about it again, it won't happen.In the previous life, she and Xiao Zhuo could be regarded as two fugitives at best, and they would not dispatch troops to encircle and suppress them.

Yang Cong pulled her sleeve, and shouted in surprise: "Mistress, look, there is a flag of Dayan in the south, there is another flag with the word 'Wei' written on it, and another flag is..."

Shen Yuexi took the horse to the side of the road, watched several fast horses coming in the distance, came up to her and Yang Cong, and reined in the reins.

A military general in full armor was on the horse, nodded to Shen Yuexi and said: "Mrs. Shen, I didn't expect you to be here. This general is going to look for you at Langya pass in the north."

Shen Yuexi saw that the spear hanging on his saddle was exactly the one she had made before.He nodded and smiled and said, "The little girl has seen General Wei."

The coming general is General Wei, whose surname is Wei Mingliang, who is guarding the border.

Wei Liangdao: "This general follows His Majesty's imperial decree, Zhao Shuai's military order, and goes out to attack Xirong."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback.

Why did Emperor Yongde suddenly become brave?
