Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 78 Bai Xiaosheng in the North

Chu Nanning: "..."

She is from the North, but she is not Bai Xiaosheng from the North.

But one look at him and it was clear that it was probably because no one had received it, and there was not so good news, that made him so hesitant, even with a hint of suppressed sadness and self-blame.

She has no relatives, and has never experienced this kind of care and the feeling of being cared for by relatives.

However, judging from Xia Chixiao's preparation of the house with great expectation, including clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, it seems that the relationship between the couple should be very deep.

As for not being familiar with her before, maybe it's because they've been separated for a long time. Even if someone is close to her heart, it's normal for her height and figure not to be known.

With that hope, I originally thought the couple would be reunited.As a result, the expectation turned out to be in vain, and the waiting turned out to be in vain.He was lost, sad, and inexplicably worried, and he actually wanted to seek some kind of comfort from a stranger like himself.

She thought for a while and then said: "It's hard to predict the probability. But everything is possible!"

Xia Chixiao stopped talking again and continued drinking.

He knew it was a stupid question!
But the accumulated emotions in his heart made him deceive himself into wanting to hear some better news from people who were also from the north.

He drained the glass of wine in one gulp and then stopped talking.

Maybe drinking can better express the feeling of emptiness, hesitation and despair in my heart!
Chu Nanning looked at him and said nothing.

Originally, Xia Chixiao was drinking alone, but these eyes were too existential. Xia Chixiao looked at her and said, "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"

"No, I was just wondering how much you would drink to get drunk!"

Xia Chixiao laughed. How much would he drink to get drunk?

When wine enters the heart of sorrow, one will not get drunk at all.

He raised his glass again and said, "Thank you!" He would be leaving Beijing in a few days, and he was in a complicated mood at the moment. He was somewhat grateful to this person who was willing to accompany him to drink here.

"Do you want to go to the Northland? So you want to ask me something about the Northland?" Chu Nanning asked suddenly.

Xia Chixiao raised his eyes: "How did you know?"

Chu Nanning said: "You miss your wife deeply. Now her life or death is uncertain. You want to find it yourself. This is human nature and it is not difficult to guess!"

Xia Chixiao didn't know how to explain it. He missed her so much that he couldn't say that he missed her deeply, but he thought of her as a young girl who had been married to him for three years and he never protected her or fulfilled her responsibilities as a husband.

If nothing happens to her, there will be a chance to make amends in the future; if something unexpected happens to her, how should he face the lonely soul who is wandering in a foreign land and unable to return?

Chu Nanning looked him over and said, "Did you receive official duties?"

Xia Chixiao raised his eyes, his eyes became a little darker, and said: "How can you see it?"

Chu Nanning said calmly: "Since you have received a military post and have a legitimate mission in the capital, it may not be easy to go to the north. Therefore, except for receiving official duties, it should be impossible to leave your post without permission!"

Xia Chixiao looked at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, which seemed to be able to reveal a human figure. However, these eyes seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts. Not only could they clear away the haze in people's hearts, but they could also see through people's hearts?

He said: "In your opinion, what kind of official service have I received?"

"Suppress the bandits!" Five cities were lost, the people were displaced, and people's hearts were moved. Especially in places with many mountains, you would encounter bandits every three steps and a village at every five steps.It was when she brought Mrs. Pei to Beijing from the north that she met several people.

However, when the group of robbers who blocked the road in Kaining County saw Mrs. Pei standing in front of her with her thin body, she would pay attention to the area where the bandits might be encountered, and if she could go around it, she would If she couldn't get around them, she would go to bed early. At night, when Mrs. Pei was asleep, she would quietly sneak into the bandits' dens.

Mrs. Pei thought the journey was peaceful, but it was just her going back and forth for a few nights.

Xia Chixiao's eyes narrowed invisibly, and when he looked at her again, he looked at her more carefully: "How did you know?"

Chu Nanning said calmly: "When I came here, I encountered several groups. Fortunately, the ones we encountered did not kill people, but lost their money to save their lives before we could reach the capital. But there are many people who robbed money and killed people. If the court does not send troops Go and suppress them. If they are too powerful, they will be a source of trouble. There will always be one or two people in the court who are not blind!"

Xia Chixiao was speechless.

There was banditry in the mountains in Yuyang Prefecture, Pingyang County, and other places in the north. There were no troops stationed in Yuyang, so the prefect wrote several times asking the court to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits.

But the ministers in the court were in their comfort zone and did not think this was a big deal.

How severe is the banditry in a place?

There is no garrison in Yuyang Prefecture, but there is one in Kaiping County?Just go and garrison the troops. How can a bunch of rabble be compared with the garrison?
However, those who are well-informed know that because Yuyang Mansion is too close to the five cities that were previously lost, some of the bandits are ordinary people who can't survive, and some are ruthless gangsters who have become kings. The terrain is complex. There are many bandits.

Seeing that the imperial court ignored them, they became more and more courageous, and within a few months, they became somewhat successful.

Until this time, the Kaiping County Sheriff also took advantage of the situation.

When the northern border was lost, most of the garrison troops from several counties in the northern border were transferred to the northern border to redefine their defenses. There was only a garrison of 2000 in the west of Kaiping County. The county governor sent this garrison to suppress the bandits. As a result, [-] men left, and only [-] men were left. More than twenty people came back.

The bandits took advantage of the terrain and defeated the two thousand garrison troops who had been mobilized.

After Taifu Ye argued hard, the emperor relented and sent [-] troops from the capital camp to suppress the bandits.

There were dozens of bandits, totaling 4 to [-] people, ten times the number.

It still occupies a favorable geographical location and is a local snake that has become the king. No one dares to say that they are sure of victory.It takes three thousand people to deal with it. Without losing the battle, it will take at least two or three years, and it may not be possible to eliminate it.

After leaving the court for three years, it was too hot to eat shit, and many generals were unwilling to go.But Xia Chixiao knew the news and had already taken the initiative to request a decree. He wanted to go find his grandmother and the others in person. He wanted to see the people alive and the bones even if he died!
If there is no accident, the emperor will order him to suppress the bandits in these two days.

He didn't expect Chu Nanning to be able to guess everything.

Therefore, the situation in the north is actually much worse than he imagined!

Xia Chixiao became interested: "Based on your understanding of the northern border, how long will it take to suppress the bandits this time?"

Chu Nanning raised her eyes and looked at him. How long will it take?If it were her, it would be three to four months, after all, those people were scattered, but if it were someone else, then I wouldn't know.

How about half a year when you meet someone who is good at fighting and understands the art of war without wasting time?

If you encounter idiots, it will be banditry and suppression of officers and soldiers.

However, after all, Xia Chixiao came back from the Qianyuan period and led the northern troops to win a great victory. He was awarded the title of second-grade North-Zhen General at such a young age. He couldn't be a fool, right?She asked tentatively: "One year?"
