Chapter 182
On the way back to the mountain.

Ning Daniu and Ning Miao of Mrs. Ding's family happily looked at the cloth on these carts.

"It's still auntie who has the ability to exchange so much cloth, now we don't have to worry about winter."

"Yeah, the weather is getting colder and colder, these cloths really came in time."

While discussing, several people thought about how much cloth their work points could exchange for clothes, and they were full of expectations for the future.

Wang Xiujuan didn't listen to their discussion, the figure of Chang Yuan leaving in a hurry flashed in her mind, Wang Hanting knew how much respect she had for her, if it wasn't for that urgent matter, she believed that the other party would definitely come to see her.

Many speculations flashed through her mind, could it be the court?Or is something up north?
Wang Xiujuan knew that Chang Yuan had two prefectures in the north, but there were not only two provinces in the north. Although the imperial court had lost control over that area, there were other bandits besides Chang Yuan. One of the more powerful forces.

Regardless of whether it is the imperial court or the north, if Chang Yuan encounters troubles, they will be affected to some extent. In terms of purchasing, it is impossible to be as convenient as it is now.

The other rebels were not as reasonable as Chang Yuan, and the court officials were even more greedy, otherwise it would not have caused the current situation of wars.

Along the way, Wang Xiujuan was a little worried and returned to the mountains. She immediately found Ning Changrong and told him about it.

Ning Changrong pondered for a moment after listening, he touched his chin, "Chang Yuan's power is too great, and he also conquered Taizhou Mansion, although he is separated by a river, he is indeed the closest rebel to the imperial court." Power, but winter is coming soon, the imperial court should not send troops in winter, right?"

Ning Changrong paused for a moment, and then said: "But if something happens in the north, it will be winter now, and they should start hoarding food. Why would they start a war suddenly? Could it be that they want to take advantage of the weather before it is completely destroyed?" Grab it before it gets cold?"

……

Fu Linjun had just put the child to sleep, and when he went outside, he found that Chang Yuan hadn't come back yet.

She asked the servants beside her, "Has the general not returned yet?"

Na Xiao Si bent down and said, "Ma'am, the general has not returned yet."

Fu Linjun waited until midnight, when Chang Yuan just came back, with some chills on his body.

Chang Yuan looked at his wife who was still asleep, took off the armor on his body, and walked slowly in front of Mr. Fu Lin, "Why hasn't madam gone to bed yet?" He looked at his son who was sleeping beside him, deliberately slowing down. pace.

Fu Linjun's face was full of worry, "How could I sleep when you left in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Chang Yuan would often discuss with Mr. Fu Lin what happened. After the other party asked, he walked to the bed and sat down gently, "Something happened indeed."

Fu Linjun's face was shocked, and Chang Yuan continued:

"The north has received news that Qin Guangquan and Zhu Zhanping are planning to join forces to attack Huaixi Mansion."

Fu Linjun looked puzzled, "Haven't the two of them been fighting all the time? When can we join forces?"

Qin Guangquan and Zhu Zhanping, one was born as a charlatan and the other was from a family of merchants. Since the incident, the two have been fighting and disliked each other.

"Now most of the north has been smashed by those people, there are refugees everywhere, and now it's going to be winter again, the whole north is barren except for the land under my control to grow food, the two of them naturally want to join forces Come grab food."

"As for the grievance between the two of them, no matter how great it is, it is nothing compared to a matter of life and death."

After Chang Yuan finished speaking, Fu Linjun quickly understood.

There is no good place in the whole north. After being occupied by these large and small forces, it is even more chaotic than under the imperial court.

Now that the imperial court has completely withdrawn from the north, they naturally become the favorites in the eyes of these people.

Mr. Fu Lin calmed down, "Husband, what is there to worry about? Our army has already equipped hand crossbows, and the soldiers are also practicing day and night. How can those thieves who only know how to burn, kill, and loot all day can still be beaten?" Have you passed us?"

Before the court soldiers and horses withdrew, these people were indeed rogues who had been suppressed and ran around, and at that time Chang Yuan was already a bandit capable of resisting the court soldiers and horses!
There is a huge disparity in power between the two.

"The emperor lost his head and let the north out completely. This also facilitates our development, but without the constraints of the imperial army and horses, there are advantages and disadvantages. If the imperial army is here, everyone will rebel, and they can be twisted into one force. , Without the army of this imperial court, everyone has become the enemy of the other side."

"What I'm most worried about right now is not that Tan Guangquan and Zhu Zhanping will team up. Just like Ma'am, we practice every day. These thieves are not our opponents at all, but the problem is that there are still imperial soldiers in the south who are eyeing us."

"If there is a fight in the north, the imperial court may take the opportunity to attack Taizhou. At that time, we will have two fronts, facing the enemy."

Hearing this, Fu Linjun finally understood Chang Yuan's worry.

What he was afraid of was that the imperial court might take the opportunity to attack them.

Moreover, they have just won Taixi County not long ago, not only can't give them any help, but also subsidize a lot of food.

Originally, Chang Yuan thought that there were some famous families in Taixi County, and they would more or less have some food to subsidize the army. It is possible that others have no food to eat, but these clans, if there is a famine, they will definitely not be short of food and drink. .

But I didn't expect Hu Dadao to be so capable. This noble family is a cunning rabbit and three caves. I don't know how much food they have hidden, but he tortured them all, including all kinds of gold, silver and jade.

It was precisely because they couldn't stand his brutal bullying that those small clans who had been prosperous for hundreds of years felt like burning everything, and burned all their food. Of course, they themselves were all chopped down by Hu Dadao as military food.

Fu Linjun said in a deep voice: "It is very risky to fully open the two fronts. Can we try to talk to Qin Guangquan?"

"I have already discussed this idea with them in the army today, but we still need to discuss how to discuss it. The purpose of their attack is probably for food. If they can't satisfy their ideas, we will definitely not be able to discuss it."

Chang Yuan frowned. To be honest, if it wasn't for being unable to take action now, it wouldn't take long to deal with these two people.

"This is difficult." Fu Linjun sighed deeply.

If it weren't for the complicated things, Chang Yuan wouldn't have discussed it during the day until late at night before returning.

"It's getting late, ma'am, don't worry about it anymore, let's think about it tomorrow." Chang Yuan comforted Fu Linjun when he saw Fu Linjun's worried look.

On the second day, Chang Yuan went out early and returned late again, and the whole Taixi County was a little jittery.
