Chapter 301
The news of the beginning of the war was brought back by the old grandson at the entrance of the village.

It's a coincidence that after the snow stopped a few days ago, several villagers in the neighboring village were short of food, so they came forward to beg Lao Suntou together, and insisted on driving the ox cart with them this time when the weather was freezing. .

As a result, I couldn't buy any food when I went to the city, and I almost lost my life.

"I heard that the city is completely in chaos now. The shops have been closed for a long time. The sergeants who were defeated from the front line and the refugees who fled from the front are now concentrated in the city. There are people everywhere in the city. It's chaos.

Luckily, Old Suntou reacted quickly and didn't drive the ox cart into the city. If he really went in, the ox would have to be snatched by the sergeant for requisition! "Luo Zhou came over and sat on the side of the kang, whispering to Fu Manman what she had heard from the old grandson.

The more she talked about Luo Zhou, the more she couldn't hide the worry on her face: "It's only been peaceful for a few years, and then it broke out again! I don't know how long this time will last!
The snow stopped late this year, and the savages on the prairie might not be able to stand it anymore!That's when I thought about coming over and making a fuss, trying to grab some supplies from our land to survive the snow disaster. "

In fact, this kind of life is not unfamiliar to the Luo Zhou family who lived in the northern border since childhood.Before the king of Yan came to the northern border, the border of the northern border was like this, even worse than it is now.

At that time, as long as it was winter, the barbarians would definitely come and harass them from time to time. They would never linger, they basically just robbed and killed them all and then turned around and left!
Later, King Yan came to the northern border and reorganized the military discipline. Within two years, the defense of the entire northern border had a new look. Such a difficult situation!
As a result, such a good life has not been too many years, and now it is going to repeat the same mistakes again!

Thinking of this, Luo Zhou couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, fortunately, our Beishan Village has a good terrain, even if ordinary barbarians fight over, they won't rush towards us!"

Although Luo Zhou was always by his side to comfort him, Fu Manman still couldn't completely relax.After all, Gu Tingchen is not usually busy these days!
Almost every day, he left early and returned late, with a dignified look.

Although it seems that he has entered the mountain, it is obvious from his actions that it is not just as simple as entering the mountain to hunt!
Although Fu Manman didn't ask, her expression couldn't escape Gu Tingchen's attention. Finally, when Gu Tingchen came back from the wind and snow that evening, he decisively showed her cards.

"Father said, I want to try my best, hold back, and not show my face easily! But Manman, I can't help it!" Sitting opposite Fu Manman, Gu Tingchen seemed to have made a decision, and said decisively to Fu Manman: " If I endure it any longer, I can only watch the barbarians enter our Daqin territory and hurt our Daqin people!

This point, neither I nor Wei Xue's wronged father can't tolerate it! "

"Today my sister-in-law came to tell me that before the Yan Palace did not come to the northern border, barbarians from outside the pass would come to the border to harass almost every winter.

At that time, they were already used to facing these things, and they knew where to hide the grain and food when the time came!

It was later, after King Yan's Mansion came to the northern border, that they lived a life free from foreign enemies for so many years! "Fu Manman was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Gu Tingchen's low voice, and said gently: "Anyway, I think everything has a priority!"
I believe that you can make the right balance and decision in your heart.In short, no matter what you decide, I support you! "

In the original records in the book, there is no description of this section of barbarians harassing the border.But although it is not described here, from the history books, it is not difficult for Fu Manman to know how tough and cruel those nomads in the pastures outside the customs are.

At least to the people in the pass, they are as ferocious and terrifying as wolves on the grassland.

Looking at this posture now, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief who has come to take charge of the commander-in-chief this time will not be able to take on the big beam at all!
This is just the harassment of a small group of troops, and the defenders have been defeated again and again. If a stronger army comes over, wouldn't the border be lost, and the northern border is in a hurry? !
"This time, the one who came to be in charge of the commander-in-chief is Concubine Xiao's younger brother, Uncle Ci'en. This is an idiot who only knows how to have fun and doesn't know what military affairs are!"

After clarifying his identity to Fu Manman, Gu Tingchen didn't hide some words from her anymore, and simply told Fu Manman what he knew about the situation in more detail.

"What Concubine Xiao cares about is that her son can sit in that seat! However, the empress is still alive and well, the position of crown prince has been hanging around for a long time, and the entire court has been tossed into a mess because of their dispute !"

"So, what you mean is that this Uncle Ci En who came to take charge of the Northern Territory's commander-in-chief is a layout of the empress's line to advance by retreating?" Fu Manman understood the key point of Gu Tingchen's words almost instantly.

Everyone in the capital must know what kind of character this kindness is, and let such a stupid and incompetent idiot come to the northern border and become a general guarding the northern border...

Such a result is naturally due to the hard work of Concubine Xiao Gui, the commander in chief of the northern border has the right to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses!If Ci Enbo can secure this position, then her son will have the backing of the army, and he will be more sure of seizing the position!

But from the queen's point of view, the queen is out of favor now. In the palace, facing the imperial concubine's all-out attack, she is currently only on the defensive!But even in such a frustrating situation of retreating steadily, they still have a way. At this critical juncture, they dug a deep hole for the imperial concubine's family!

In this place in the north, if you defend well, everything will be fine!But if the defense is unfavorable and the barbarians outside the pass are allowed to drive straight in, burn, kill and loot, then for Daqin, it is tantamount to an embarrassing scene of slapping the face from the air!

At that time, even if Uncle Ci En is favored by Emperor Zhaoming again, this single mistake will be enough to make his head drop!

As for the people in the north who may be hurt and bullied in the game between the two sides...

In the eyes of the rich and powerful right now, the lives of these people who may die under the barbarian's butcher's knife are simply despicable things that are not even as good as ants!
All they could see was the splendor after sitting on that chair, but no one had ever thought about what would happen if this matter failed and the barbarian army really drove straight into the capital!
