Why are we always BE

"However, don't worry too much about your brother. With his strength, there is no problem in entering and exiting the Far North at will." Su Qing comforted him.

"Have you been to the Far North?" Huo Shu asked curiously, "How can you be so sure?"

"I've been there. Five years ago, your father fell ill and I was ordered to go to the far north to pick the best snow lotus. At that time, a hundred people went together, and only Gu Yu and I came back."

"So dangerous?" Huo Shu's eyes widened in shock and said, "Then you still said that my brother will be fine."

"I am a mortal." Su Qing explained: "Your brother is an immortal. I can come back, let alone him."

"Yes, I also believe that my brother will be fine." Huo Shu said confidently.

"Let's go to the ancestral hall and see my mother." Su Qing said.

"Let's go, I still want to hear your story."

"What do you want to hear?" Su Qing asked.

"I want to know why you joined the army at the age of ten." Huo Shu pondered for a while and said: "There is also the story of your battle with Jiang Ziya two years ago. I often heard this in the Bei Pluto Palace two years ago. People talk about it.”

Su Qing paused and said slowly: "Let me tell you about my joining the army first."

Accurately step on thunder, only serve Huo Shu. Su Qing complained secretly.

Ten years ago

"Su Qing, the merchant army is attacking." The deputy general entered Su Zian's account to report.

"What?" Su Zian, who was teaching Su Qing military law, quickly put down the military book in his hand and said, "Go to the main camp."

"Dad." Ten-year-old Su Qing asked from the side, "Can I come over and have a look too."

"Okay. It's not good to always talk on paper. I'll show you the practice." Su Zian hesitated for a while and agreed.

Ten-year-old Su Qing followed Su Zian into the main camp tent.

Waiting for Su Zian at the main camp is Su Qing's mother Zhao Ziyao.

"Why did you bring Qing'er here?" Zhao Ziyao, who saw Su Qing, asked quickly: "It's so late and you're still not sleeping."

"Qing'er said that he didn't want to just read the military book, but wanted to see how we discussed it, so I brought him here." Su Zian said.

"Don't let him run around." Zhao Ziyao ordered.

"Mom, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore." Su Qing said speechlessly.

Although Su Qing is young, she has grown very quickly and is already half a head taller than Zhao Ziyao.

"Let's start quickly and let Su Qing listen." Su Zian said: "He is also preparing to go to the battlefield. It's time to listen."

After a brief interlude, it quickly entered into a heated discussion.

"It's best to use the mysterious bag formation. It's a night attack. There's a risk of fraud, so we shouldn't send out a large number of troops." Su Zian concluded: "Ziyao led two teams to outflank him. Gu Xuan attacked from the middle. Use the night and the Drum cover drove them back. The rest stayed with me at the base camp, just in case."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed, but Su Qing was still staring at the map in trance.

Seeing that Su Qing was taking it seriously, Su Zian didn't rush him back, but read the military book on the side.

"Dad, can I leave here?" Su Qing asked.

"There are two nearly vertical mountains here. It is almost impossible to walk. Moreover, if you enter the mountains, the compass will lose control and you will easily lose your direction. What's more, the climate there is dangerous, poisonous insects and beasts gather, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. And I have already sent People and horses take turns guarding there, and even more people are sent out at night. Let alone a small team, it is almost impossible for more than three people to come here quietly," Su Zian explained.

"Then the guard won't get lost?" Su Qing asked doubtfully.

"We have a map." Su Zian said: "I once saved an old farmer. In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he led me in. After I came out, I drew a map with the help of the old farmer. Everyone in the army knows these two buildings. There are only five people on the map of the mountain, and two of them are the generals responsible for guarding this place."

"What about the old farmer? What if he is caught by the Yin Shang people?" Su Qing asked worriedly.

"This happened ten years ago. After the old farmer drew the map, he died of illness. The doctor said it was caused by miasma in the mountains."

"So, it's impossible for anyone to know how to get out of this mountain, right?" Su Qing asked.

"The old man has no family, and he is also the last person living in the mountains. It is unlikely that anyone will know the way."

"Unless he is not a human being." Su Qing said: "If it is a monster, there is no guarantee that there will not be another person."

"You kid, why are you always arguing?" Su Zian said helplessly: "If there are really monsters and ghosts helping me secretly, then it can only be God's will to kill me, so what can I do?"

Su Qing was lying on the table, wondering what she was thinking.

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, Su Qing's eyelids had already begun to fight.

"Go to bed quickly, don't wait for your mother." Su Zian advised.

Before Su Qing could answer, a soldier carrying a message broke into the tent.

"Report——" After the soldier entered the tent, he had no time to breathe and said directly: "A small team raided from the northwest of us. We were unable to take precautions and came to request for troop support."

"What?" Su Zian stood up in shock.

To the northwest are the two mountains that Su Qing just pointed to.

Su Qing suddenly fell asleep. She met Su Zian's surprised gaze and said innocently, "I really don't know. I just said it casually."

Su Zian didn't have time to delve deeper and asked, "How many people are here?"

"There are at least three thousand infantrymen coming from the northwest, possibly more. It is difficult to survey at night."

"Three thousand?" Su Zian and Su Qing said in shock.

"Yes."

"Didn't you say that it's impossible for three or more people to detect it? Is there a mole?"

"Father, please send 10,000 troops for reinforcements." Su Qing suggested: "I'm afraid the Yin Shang sent nearly 8,000 troops this time."

"There are only 20,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 Su family troops left in the base camp, and there are no generals to command them." Su Zian said worriedly.

"Leave it to me. And there are a few captains who can help with the situation. The base camp has a strong geographical advantage. Even if the enemy attacks, we can use the terrain to catch him off guard."

Su Zian hesitated and said, "You have never led soldiers and have no practical training. This is the fatal part."

"I'm here to assist him." The military counselor walked into the tent and said while coughing: "Although I have been poisoned by a strange poison and cannot survive for a long time, I still have no problem surviving this night."

"Military advisor, please be careful." Su Zian finally agreed, quickly picked up the spear and walked out of the tent.

Soon, 10,000 elite soldiers were assembled and left the base camp in a mighty manner.

Only Su Qing and the military advisor were left in the tent.

The military advisor waved to Su Qing: "Come here and tell me how you plan to defend."
