The Major General's Country Wife

At the northern border, Xu Changfeng and Xu Guogong led their generals and stood on the city wall.

Looking at the 20 troops gathered by the Beili Kingdom, they set up camp in the distance, with flags waving in the wind.

They have faced each other several times, and the opponent is very aggressive, as if they have the confidence to attack the border and let their cavalry drive in.

"Marshal." Xu Changfeng looked at Xu Guogong and said, "Something is not good, this time Bei Li's momentum is stronger than before, it seems that he came prepared."

"Yeah." Xu Guogong squinted his eyes. He has guarded the customs for most of his life, so it can be said that he knows Beili's situation best. "Don't send troops to fight. Wait, let's see what cards they have."

"Yes." As a vanguard, Xu Changfeng fought Bei Li several times, and they all retreated after the first battle, as if they had no plans to attack now.

This made him have to be on guard, but he had no way of knowing the key points. Xu Changfeng frowned impatiently, and his impatience made him want to fight immediately.

"Close the city gate tightly, and no one is allowed to fight." Xu Guogong ordered that the current situation can only be responsible for defending the city.

Without a clear understanding of the situation, you can no longer rashly send troops to fight, in case you are caught by Bei Li's plot, and the disparity in strength between the two is too great.

……

"Major General, someone is looking for you."

Just as Xu Changfeng returned to his tent, a sergeant came to report.

"Please come in." Xu Changfeng said.

"Young General." He Xi came into the camp, saw Xu Changfeng writing, and walked forward with a smile.

"Uncle He." Xu Changfeng raised his head abruptly, seeing that He Xi quickly put down the brush in his hand, and asked with surprise, "Why did you come to the border?"

"I heard that the North Li is invading and committing crimes here, so come and have a look." He Xi said.

He looked at Xu Changfeng's tent, the inside was rather simple, just a bed, a desk and a chair, except for a few wooden blocks placed in the corner of the tent.

"Sit, Uncle He." Xu Changfeng went to move a wooden pier himself, and asked He Xi to sit beside the desk, "How is the capital now?"

"Uh." He Xi was confused, this is not asking Jingdu, he clearly meant something, "Everything is fine, everything is fine."

"Oh." Xu Changfeng poured him a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, and casually asked, "Is there anything special?"

"Kyoto remains the same as before. The Major General knows how prosperous it is." He Xi said "haha" to deal with it. He didn't want to participate in the matter of He Yun Changsheng, he was a very thoughtful person.

"Yes." Xu Changfeng smiled lightly, and said, "The people in the capital live more easily and are much more comfortable than the people in other places."

"If you have free time every day, people will always gather in the streets and alleys to talk about the latest news in Kyoto, or something incredible happened."

"That's right, comfortable and comfortable." He Xi's eyelids twitched, and he pretended to be confused and said, "This is something that no one in any place can compare to. The emperor's feet are naturally different."

Xu Changfeng's hand holding the teacup was slightly tight, silently looking at the tea leaves floating up and down in the teacup, his lowered eyebrows and eyes made it impossible to see the expression.

The atmosphere was quiet and awkward for a while, He Xi shook his head helplessly, and at the same time thanked Xu Changfeng for not asking clearly, probably leaving room for himself.

"Uncle He." Xu Changfeng was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't worry about the business in the north."

He paused for a moment, and said again: "If something cannot be done, I will give you a message in advance and let all your people evacuate."

"It doesn't matter." He Xi said: "Near the border, we are just a caravan. We can't go out now, so we have to withdraw. The major general doesn't need to worry about us."

"If it is possible." Xu Changfeng said with some difficulty, "Uncle He's people are all good players, not comparable to ordinary people. If it is convenient in the future, I hope to help the people of this side."

"Poverty and war-torn, the cessation of war is just a cover, and the paper can be torn at any time. They have not really lived a peaceful and stable life."

"Major General?" He Xi's heart trembled, and he asked with a serious expression, "Bei Li is bound to win?"

"It's hard to say." Xu Changfeng said, Bei Li never had to win, but he never succeeded.

No, that time a few years ago, they were almost attacked. Fortunately, old doctor Yun appeared in time and rescued the border soldiers, so that they had the strength to fight and blocked Bei Li in time.

Thinking of this, Xu Changfeng felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he couldn't help clenching his teeth. The expected thing finally came, and there was something wrong with Yun Changsheng.

The only thing that is certain is that there is nothing wrong with him, that's good!As for the other guesses in his heart, he didn't want to think about it anymore, and now he couldn't solve anything.

He calmed down and talked with He Xi about some border affairs, "Right now there is enough food and grass, and a lot of medicines are prepared, but the imperial court can't dispatch military supplies for a while, at least it won't be a problem until autumn."

He Xi listened quietly, the barracks was a place they couldn't reach, and they couldn't get accurate information about many things, but he still knew what Xu Changfeng said.

"This time, we have dispatched some grain and grass along the road, and some herbs to the barracks." He Xi said, "The troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient. It is not a problem to guard the border, but the time to end the war is uncertain."

"It just depends on how long Beili can persist in the attack." Xu Changfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle He, there is no worry at the border. As for the affairs of the people, it is because once the war starts, they will inevitably be affected, so I think you can help Uncle He if you can." a handful."

They knew in their hearts that the people near the border would sometimes be attacked by Bei Li from other uncontrollable corners, burn, kill, loot and leave immediately.

These are places that Xu Changfeng and the others can't take care of, and can only rely on local forces. Maybe some people can't stand these relocations to avoid the disaster of war.

He Xi and his people are everywhere. If they are willing to help, the common people will benefit a lot. They will be safe and secure along the way, and more people will survive.

He Xi thought about what he had discussed with Yun Changsheng, and said, "We are going to open more grain shops in the north to supply the people when there is a shortage of food, and we can also support the border at any time."

"In addition, I heard that the Jingdu Civilian Medical Center will open several branches here. The problem of medicinal herbs can be solved at any time, and the common people will not be short of food and medical care to survive the war."

Xu Changfeng's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth violently to relieve his sour mood. He didn't need to think about it deliberately, he knew it was Yun Changsheng's intention.

But he couldn't say anything. He sent six letters in more than a month and didn't receive a reply. If it wasn't for the problems between him and Yun Changsheng, Xu Changfeng wouldn't believe anything he said.

At this moment, he couldn't talk about these things. He saw that He Xi was avoiding speaking, how could he insist?This must be what Yun Changsheng meant.

As for what happened in the capital, he didn't know. No one in the mansion sent any news, and the people sent to investigate didn't return, so Xu Changfeng could only pretend that he didn't know.

"Uncle He is righteous." Xu Changfeng hesitated for a long time, and said four words bitterly.

"Hahaha." He Xi laughed and said, "It's all for the dynasty, and there is a problem at the border, no one can escape this catastrophe."

He cupped his hands and said: "I wish the young general that he will defeat Beili as soon as possible, relieve the disaster at the border, and restore a peaceful life for the people here."

"It will." Xu Changfeng gritted his teeth vigorously and said, "If people are not broken in the city, the Xu family army will not have a single retreating soldier."

"This." He Xi raised his eyebrows, which means that people are living in the border town, and the border town is destroyed. "The major general said seriously. If you are not able to do it, you have to judge the situation and take a small step back."

"Impossible." Xu Changfeng shook his head, he understood He Xi's meaning, he could retreat to other cities in order to fight again.

The lost border towns can be recaptured, the lives of the people are lost, they can reproduce, and the lives of the soldiers are lost, but the loss is huge and the gain outweighs the loss.

"The Xu family's army has never backed down." Xu Changfeng said: "Only advance and never retreat, only defend and never move one step, and ensure that the people evacuate even if their lives are gone."

"Perhaps Uncle He will think that we are stupid and don't know how to maintain our strength." Xu Changfeng smiled slightly, not feeling sad, "The existence of Xu Jiajun is to protect the people. If they don't retreat, there is no reason for us to withdraw first."

He Xi shook his head. He understood and agreed with Xu Changfeng's remarks, but he was not wise. He thought for a while and said, "What are we talking about? Isn't it unfounded to worry about how far the border crossing has come?"

"That's right." Xu Changfeng said with a smile: "Maybe on that day, we don't have the time and mood to talk about this, just let Uncle He know more about Xu Jiajun."

"Oh." He Xi glanced at Xu Changfeng, without any special expression, gossiping calmly, still calm and peaceful as before.

"Major General." He Xi thought about getting up, and said, "I'm busy with military affairs, so I won't bother you. If it's useful, the Major General will send you at any time."

"Thank you, Uncle He." Xu Changfeng got up to see him off, and stopped at the gate of the barracks, saying, "If Uncle He returns to the capital, please tell Changsheng to wait until the war is over."

He hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "If you can't return in time, you'll have to wait five years."

"Oh, good." He Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Major General, I will definitely bring the words to you."

"Thank you." Xu Changfeng cupped his hands and saluted, "Everything is fine here, so don't worry about him."

"Let's go." He Xi waved his hand and left the barracks.

He wasn't in a very good mood. The matter between the two of them was not about others being able to join in, or letting them solve it by themselves. It's just that the timing was too unlucky.

Xu Changfeng silently watched his leaving back, did not mention the letter, and would not send a letter back in the future, the situation at the border is not optimistic.

It's hard to say whether he will be ordered to go back, since Yun Changsheng is silent now, he will do as he wishes, why bother with letters one after another.

If, if he could return that day, he believed that Yun Changsheng would not let him down.

Xu Guogong turned around and went directly to Xu Guogong, he was the only one in the big tent, "Grandpa."

"Hmm." Xu Guogong said, "What's the matter?"

"This time, Bei Li is full of confidence, which may be related to the new emperor's ascension to the throne." Xu Changfeng said: "If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to invade, you probably think that the court will be unstable and the border will be restricted."

"En." Xu Guogong nodded, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and there was another guess in their hearts.

Xu Changfeng didn't shy away from talking about it, and said, "Small countries in the surrounding area must be involved. This is still a trivial matter. The main reason is that the Nanman side will also intervene."

"What do you think?" Xu Guogong asked.

"Grandson." Xu Changfeng met his grandfather's penetrating gaze, and said calmly, "I want to lead a team to sneak into Beili."

"No." Xu Guogong immediately objected, with a stern look that cannot be questioned, and scolded: "You forget your own duties, disregard your own responsibilities, and you are worthy of guarding the world?"
