After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

In Fuming Town, everyone was in an uproar over the news brought by the traveling merchant.

"What?! The general is back! He is worthy of being called the general! Even if the Khan of the Northern Territory sets up a net of heaven and earth, he can't catch her at all!"

"The Tartars are still eating the dust on the grassland, but the general is back! How refreshing!"

"Great! Really great! He actually took a detour to Woye Town. Who could have thought of that?"

The people of Fuming Town were all overjoyed, thinking that with such a commander at the border, they would have no worries for the next ten years!

Lin Jinshan looked at this group of fools, grinning like a fool, and said with a feeling of regret.

"You are all still laughing foolishly here! Why don't you think about why the general has been staying in Woye Town and not coming back?"

A small vendor who had done business with him several times touched the back of his head and said honestly: "Maybe the general is tired, so he wants to rest there for a few more days."

Lin Jinshan extended his index finger and tapped his forehead: "You are so stupid! What a person Wang Buxi, the county magistrate of Woye Town, is! He would pluck out a hair even if a wild goose passes by! Not to mention the more than a thousand elite soldiers under the command of the general, how much private money he has! Just because he is the general, Wang Buxi will not let him go easily!"

Everyone was stunned by his words.

"No way, Wang Buxi dares to keep the general? The general is with thousands of elite soldiers."

"Why did he leave the general behind? Over the years, the commanders at the border have all been in Fuming Town!"

Lin Jinshan stroked his beard, which he had grown with great difficulty, and acted like a wise man: "He will not force me, but he will play the victim! Woye Town is in such a mess, and after he complains, the general will be soft-hearted, won't he stay there forever?"

I have a mother-in-law!

Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened wide enough to fit a fist.

This guess is so reliable!

"Although Woye Town is in tatters, not many people died in the battle!"

"That's right! Our Fuming Town suffered the heaviest casualties!"

"Wang Buxi is too shameless! No, we have to find the deputy general and Gu Shisan and tell them to quickly bring the general back!"

Fearing that the night would drag on, everyone rushed to the deputy general's residence, where Lin Jinshan represented them and stated their demands.

The deputy general's heart sank, this was indeed something that Wang Buxi would do!

The border guards have finally welcomed a reliable general, and we must not let that guy Wang Buxi snatch him away!

Without saying a word, the deputy general immediately ordered his troops to go to Woye Town to snatch people without affecting the city's defense!

No, it was to save the general! The general must be loyal to Fuming Town.

Naturally, the movements of the two towns could not be concealed from Huaishuo Town, which was sandwiched between them.

The townspeople of Huaishuo Town surrounded the county magistrate's mansion to plead for orders.

"Since the general can stay in Woye Town for several days, why can't he come to our Huaishuo Town?"

"Master Yan, Wang Buxi is shameless enough to play the victim in front of the general! Why can't we do the same?"

"We don't ask for much. It will be fine if the general stays in our Huaishuo Town for a year or two!"

"No one has stipulated that the general must stay in Fuming Town. Our Huaishuo Town is close to Fuming Town, which makes it convenient for the general to deploy defenses!"

Yan Tongchu, the county magistrate of Huaishuo Town, felt as if there were eight hundred ducks surrounding his ears, quacking and calling the general.

Seeing Yan Tongchu didn't respond, the chief clerk jumped up and down anxiously: "Sir, what are you worried about? Tell us, and let's all think of a solution together."

Yan Tongchu glanced at everyone and saw that they were all serious, so he said, "Fuming Town has the Gu family army, and it is also the place where the main generals have been for many years! Woye Town is indeed the most dilapidated military town on the border, and Wang Buxi can easily sell misery. But what do we have?"

This is a good question, and everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

If you want the general to stay in Huaishuo Town, you must come up with a convincing reason!

The chief clerk clapped his hands suddenly, his eyes flashing with a gleam of light: "Master Yan, do you still remember that there was a wandering Taoist priest who once said that there was an iron mine in Huaishuo Town when he passed by it?"

Lord Yan was very upset: "Of course I remember. I gave him money, people, and time, but in the end, I didn't even see the shadow of the iron mine. He actually ran away secretly!"

The chief clerk chuckled and said, "That's not important. What's important is that he said we have iron ore here!"

Yan Tongchu looked the chief clerk up and down in disbelief: "You want to deceive the general?"

The chief clerk puffed out his chest and said righteously: "How can this be called cheating? After all, no one can pat their chest and say that we don't have iron ore here!"

Yan Tongchu was speechless: "This is too mean."

The chief clerk's eyes were red: "If I can keep the general in Huaishuo Town, I will be a villain for once, so what?!"

Yan Tongchu sighed lightly and decided to go to Woye Town to invite the general in person!

Wuchuan Town is adjacent to Woye Town, Huaishuo Town, and Fuming Town, but is located further south than them. It is the second line of defense in the north, so naturally it always pays attention to the developments in the north.

"What? Wang Buxi is so bold that he dared to keep the general!"

"That's right, how shameless! Their city walls are majestic, and they have two barbicans, and they want to keep the general. Is there any way for the other brothers to survive?!"

"The Gu family army went to Woye Town? That's how it should be!"

"What? Did that old scholar Yan Tongchu actually go to Woye Town in person?!"

Qin Bohuai, the county magistrate of Wuchuan Town, was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "This Yan guy must be trying to snatch the general!"

Others in Wuchuan Town pleaded, "We're going too! Why can they rob but we can't?!"

"That's right. A commander like the general only appears once in a thousand years. He is not a waste like the Marquis of Yongchang. If he can come to our Wuchuan Town, our defense will definitely be impregnable!"

"Yes, Lord Qin, when the time comes, we will say that we are the final line of defense, of great strategic significance! We urgently need a general to take charge!"

Qin Bohuai felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and he rode at full speed with a few personal soldiers, rushing to Woye Town, fearing that if he was a step late, the general would be deceived by others.

When the news reached Rouxuan Town, Huaihuang Town, and Yuyi Town further east, their people were in an uproar.

"This is unfair! Even though the northern Tartars are heading west, no one can predict whether they will make a surprise attack from the east!"

"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death! Hurry up and take the people there, the general is ours!"

The various troop mobilizations in the seven towns along the two defense lines, coupled with the boiling public sentiment, immediately caused the remaining spies from the Northern Territory to retract their heads, not daring to show up at this time.

As for the Northern Royal Court, they only knew that Gu Nanxi had returned to the border, and had no idea what had happened.

The Khan of the Northern Border gnashed his teeth and said, "Gather all the troops! Retreat to the grassland! The mobilization of troops at the border must be Gu Nanxi's doing! She must want to gather troops and burn our remaining food and grass. In this way, as soon as winter comes, she can destroy most of our troops without a single soldier!"
