remarrying husband

"Cao Zhenling's method is good. It exposes the tribes that invaded together with Tanan, and also wins over Teng'an, who is neutral, so as to ensure that the other party will not take sides." Chen Tai'an was very satisfied.

"Father, crimes have become more and more frequent in the past few days. Zhenling said that he is afraid that there will be a large-scale attack." Chen Weiang also doubted this.

Chen Tai'an was worried about Cao Zhenling. After meeting him for the past few days, he naturally knew that this young general was quite assertive, but with the enemy at hand, he was afraid that he would be hard to find.

This first battle was fought suddenly, with 2000 cavalry against He Zhen's [-] troops.I thought it was just a small-scale battle as usual. After all, there is a city wall behind here, which is not a good entry point.

But unexpectedly, [-] cavalrymen caught He Zhen by surprise.

Simply, Cao Zhenling asked them to be vigilant, there were always spies.

The thousand soldiers sent by the other party to attack were just a bait for He Zhen and the others to bite on.

He Zhen is really furious, the other party is shameless!The spies came to report that it was a trap, so they sent a team to evacuate the people, while pretending to attack.

However, it seemed that they could not fight in hand-to-hand combat, so the enemy did not attack for a long time, thinking that what they sent today were only soft-legged shrimps, and the 1000 people they sent would be able to take them down.

Once a report came that most of the people had been evacuated, He Zhen would take his people and run away...

The first two thousand and the last thirty thousand are running away.

Cao Zhenling immediately knew that He Zhen was in danger, and immediately took Cao Simu with him, "Let's go! Take these [-] cavalrymen! Go and inform Old General Chen!"

Call first, then notify.When Chen Tai'an heard the news, his heart skipped a beat, and it was really hard to tame.

He can't be too tough, let's not say that Cao Zhenling's talent is really good, he did a good job for Ding'an as soon as he came, and there were Yu Xiumian and the emperor behind him.If he hadn't made a big mistake, he might really be unable to move Cao Zhenling.

Cao Zhenling has a total of [-] cavalry, and the training is acceptable. Compared with the cavalry who grew up on the grassland, the difference can be discerned as soon as they meet.

So you can't go head-to-head, tripping with nails, tripping ropes, how shameless you are.Drugs, anesthetics first stun the leader, making the opponent's footsteps stumble, and the opponent's formation is spared.

Afterwards, Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu each led 1 people and rushed into the opposing cavalry from the left and right sides, caught off guard.

Cao Simu knew that his elder brother was greedy for the opponent's [-] horses, it would be best if he could wipe them out in one fell swoop, if not, he would keep most of them.

But who knew that the other party was more cunning than Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu imagined, fighting hand to hand, Cao Zhenling caught the other party by surprise and made a sneak attack.

When the opponent disturbed the formation, they retreated. Although Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu broke through the opponent's formation, but when the two soldiers fought, the opponent was too slippery to attack the enemy, and seemed to be trying to slip away.

Cao Zhenling sensed that something was wrong, and immediately ordered Cao Simu to close up with him, and the second half of the broken formation cooperated with Xiao Teng to keep them behind!Let the one who runs ahead let him run away.

But who would have thought that the leading general realized that there were too many troops left behind, so he wanted to fight back and break through Cao Zhenling's team.

[-] against [-], Cao Zhenling played without reservation for the first time.Cao Simu was not inferior to his elder brother at all, with a sweep of his spear, he took down three or five cavalrymen.

Cao Simu knew that the most appropriate thing was for his brother to hold the front line, and he and Xiao Teng digested the 1 people surrounded as soon as possible!

Xiao Teng seemed to have sensed it, and cooperated with He Zhen to quickly nibble away.

At this time, the power is infinite, and the stalk of natural supernatural power is really important.Liang Chaotian and Xing Chitian, who were following Cao Zhenling, both killed a bloody path, allowing Cao Zhenling to quickly attack the few thirty thousand cavalrymen.

But for a moment, the 3 people were leaderless, and the deputy general was about to take over and command the troops to retreat, but was beheaded by Cao Zhenling.

Seeing that the 1 people were controlled by Xiao Teng and others, Cao Simu immediately turned his horse's head and charged towards the enemy's belly, and forced Cao Zhenling to keep all 3 people behind.

Few escaped.

The father and son of the Chen family, who had been inquiring about Cao Zhenling's battle situation, were afraid that Cao Zhenling would fall into a bitter battle and lose his life, so they wanted to send troops to rescue Cao Zhenling immediately after the other party had suffered.

One is to erase the opponent's fierceness, and the other is to let the other party know that the southern barbarians on the grassland are not as easy to kill as the bandits he fought in the past. In this way, Cao Zhenling may be able to follow his command in the future.

But who knows, the other party is just probing, and Cao Zhenling is fierce and good at fighting, and the people under him are all skilled, Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu and others dragged the other party to death in a daze!

No one expected that Cao Zhenling would be able to win the game. Thirty thousand against thirty thousand may have a chance for Cao Zhenling to win, but in the eyes of the Chen family and his son, Cao Zhenling should have no chance of winning!Regardless of how long the opponent has been here, most of the cavalry cavalry that Cao Zhenling sat down had just been trained, so, how could this be able to defeat the opponent's [-] native cavalry?

Accept the remaining 1 or nearly [-] good horses from the opponent, and the remaining [-] or [-] horses are all injured and need to be raised properly before they can go to the battlefield again.

Cao Zhenling wiped his face, "How about the interrogation?"

"Speaking, let's test it out, saying that the superior asked them to grab a batch of potato seeds and take them back." Cao Simu touched the blood on his face, the stickiness made him uncomfortable, but his eyes were calm and there was no wave. "These grandchildren Tao knows sustainable development.”

Cao Zhenling snorted, "Report this to Old General Chen, that old boy wants to make me suffer if he doesn't send troops for a long time." Cao Zhenling showed a hint of sarcasm, although he felt that Chen Tai'an did the right thing, but he was tamed If it was him, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

I won today on my own, and they want to prove that they are equal in this army, so stop ordering him to mess around.

"Yes." Although they left the 3 people today, they lost a lot.

Cao Simu looked at the still-unpacked battlefield and thought, if Chen Tai'an just wanted to guard instead of sending troops to attack, it might be easier to defend...

Ding'an City is like a tortoise shell, although it is safe, but it is not a problem to stay in it all the time.

This, [-] against [-], seemed to ignite a battle line.

Ten days later, Tanan sent 15 troops to attack Ding'an City.

This time, Chen Tai'an didn't have to worry at all, Cao Zhenling was good, and he could do whatever he was asked to do.

Although the father and son of the Chen family were strange, there was no time for them to think about it.

After more than four months of war, Chen Tai'an defended the southern defense line seamlessly.In the north, there are Lin Jinghui and Zhang's father and son who have woken up, so Dao doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

But... a problem stands out.

Zhao Guo didn't have so much food and grass to provide to the front line, and it was still on the north and south sides.

That's the problem. Both sides are fighting a protracted war. It is said that the north is fighting more intensely than the south.

The meaning of the emperor is to end the right of the south as soon as possible and support the north.But Nanban is easy to deal with sometimes?This is simply a protracted battle!

"These thieves! Another sneak attack on our two villages!" Chen Weiang yelled through gritted teeth, "All the potatoes that were almost ready to be harvested were destroyed, and they set fire to them! They also snatched the harvested ones."

Cao Zhenling glanced at Cao Simu, who marked a point on the map.

Everyone in the account was silent, and Chen Taian only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than before. "The grain and grass in Ding'an City are getting less and less, and there are also difficulties in the north." He said and glanced at Cao Zhenling. The grain and grass brought in half a month ago It should have been given to the north, but Mr. Zhang in the capital all argued for Cao Zhenling's face and tried to send it to them first.

But even so, the food and grass can't last long.

"What should I do?" Chen Weiang was half-dead in anxiety, "Now I can guard Ding'an City, but food! Food!"

The Chen family's father and son were in a state of anxiety, talking a lot, but Cao Zhenling's side was surprisingly quiet.

Chen Tai'an glanced at it, and sighed in his heart, he didn't know that Cao Zhenling was waiting for him to ask questions, and if he asked, he might let Cao Zhenling do whatever he wanted and take away his military power.

But, what can I do now?

"Does General Cao have any suggestions?" In the end, Chen Tai'an had to compromise.

Cao Zhenling is the lieutenant general, he should obey Chen Tai'an's orders without reservation, even if he wants to die.But Cao Zhenling is someone who obeys orders?He has a big idea in his heart.

"Show them Simu." Cao Zhenling raised his jaw.

Cao Simu shook off their simple map, "I had someone draw this, the villages near Ding'an City, and the food and grass of Anding City depend on these villages." Cao Zhenling looked at Chen Tai'an, "General, you only see that our food and grass are gone. , have you ever thought about what the people in Ding'an City are like?"

The people of Ding'an City have long been accustomed to the days of war and chaos. If there are not enough frontline men, the local men will be able to reward them and go to the battlefield shirtless.

Therefore, when the war really started, the people of Ding'an City would give food and grass to the army first.

However, if there is not enough food and grass in the army, how can the city have a good life?

Thinking of this, Chen Tai'an scolded himself for being stupid in his heart! "General Cao, please be frank."

"Look, you didn't even think of this, and if Ding'an City is to be defended, there is no problem with sufficient food and grass." Cao Zhenling said, "But, what if there is not enough food and grass? It was the first time I fought against those 3 people." It was strange when we had just planted potatoes, and the other party was about to steal them, so we came to test them. Although we confronted General Chen in an open and honest manner, he did not stop harassing the surrounding villages. But calm down and think about it. Instead of harassing us, they want to trap us to death and starve to death in Ding'an City!

The imperial court has already seen the elbows, and I am afraid that the southern and northern barbarians also know that the imperial court is biased towards the northern barbarians, so they want to cut off our food and grass, and use Ding'an as a breakthrough!When we are trapped to death, the fall of Ding'an will also make Zhao Guo flustered, and it is not difficult for the Northern Man to fall.What's more, if a hole is torn apart, the country of Zhao will no longer be seamless, and those around us, such as Guangji and Fengming, will use their troops against us.Those people probably expected it a long time ago, so what they want to do is to tear open Zhao Guo's mouth, and it doesn't matter whether it is north or south. "Speaking of Cao Zhenling got up, and walked to the detailed map behind Chen Tai'an, "Simu, how many times did we take pictures of soldiers during this period, how many people were used, how many people were taken by the enemy, and how many were killed or injured? report it. "

"Yes." Cao Simu got up, his eyes were still, and the number reported was also extremely cruel.

Cao Zhenling laughed softly after he finished speaking, "Do you understand? From the beginning of their probing, they have now used more and more troops against the southern barbarians. They know that the north is the main battlefield that Zhao Guo thinks, so they pull people into horses. To the south, for them, the south is the main battlefield." Turning to look at Chen Weiang, "General Chen, did your little lover tell you that the grasslands in the south are no longer peaceful?"

"I didn't say that, I just said that people from Tanan came to persuade them to join the alliance." Chen Weiang thought for a while.

"That will also be said to other neutral people." Cao Zhenling slowly lowered his face. "In the future, except for Teng'an, other tribes will reduce the circulation of goods on the fifth floor, but they can increase the supply of suppliers to Teng'an on the third floor, allowing Teng'an The An tribe then sells it to other tribes. Since they didn’t remind us, we shouldn’t give them selflessly.”

In this regard, Chen Tai'an and Chen Wei'ang didn't intervene, and Cao Zhenling could do whatever he wanted. They knew a way to control the Nanman that they hadn't thought of in Ding'an City for decades.On the first day Cao Zhenling came here, he could have imagined that in this respect, he was bound to be stronger than the two father and son, and had more right to speak.

"General Cao can figure it out." Chen Tai'an said, "It's just that if they really regard us as the main battlefield..."

"Old General Chen, let's report first, but I don't think they will believe it even if they report." Cao Zhenling sneered, "Those people from the northern barbarians will definitely put on a show and support Old General Zhang and others, even if they want to send troops. There is nothing we can do to support us, so we can only be transferred from other places in the country.” He said with a faint sigh, “It is bound to have to pay heavy taxes and be forced to join the army.”

The father and son of the Chen family sighed heavily, this is also a helpless move, if possible they would not want to.

"Please listen to the last general." Cao Simu said suddenly.

Chen Tai'an was taken aback, looked at Cao Zhenling, and nodded when he saw that he had no objection, "Say it."

"Dare to ask, Old General Chen has been guarding Nanman for decades, but has he encountered such a situation?" Cao Simu asked.

Chen Tai'an shook his head, "There are very few treacherous people in the northern and southern barbarians, so it's really strange to fight this time."

It is really hard to guard against the thought of testing both sides first, and then choosing to support the Beiman, but attacking from their side.He also planned to slowly consume their food and grass, and cut off their food!

"There has been no sign of an alliance between the north and the south for 300 years. Why did they suddenly report to form an alliance this time, and Lin Jinghui is familiar with the northern battlefield, but he has not even found anyone? Can you think deeply?" Cao Simu asked again.

"Never..." The alliance came suddenly, and most people attributed Lin Jinghui's failure to the fact that he left Yuxiu Mian.

But, that's not the case!

The father and son of the Chen family broke out in a cold sweat suddenly.

Before Lin Jinghui had Yu Xiumian, he was famous for being good at fighting and invincible!Invincible and invincible!If not, would Yu Xiu Mian fall in love with her?

But Lin Jinghui, who has guarded the frontier for more than ten years, can't touch a single hair of the opponent!It's not normal here, the northern grassland is indeed vast, but, but it shouldn't be impossible to find even a tribe of people.

In other words, they deliberately avoided Lin Jinghui collectively!

At least they reached a consensus before autumn, to avoid Lin Jinghui and recharge their batteries!

"The last question, who is the one who only knows the alliance between the North and the South? Did the Southern Man submit to the Northern Man, or the Northern Man obeyed the Southern Man?" Cao Simu's sharp question at the end really hurt everyone's eardrums.

Everyone thinks that the Southern Barbarians fight on their own and are only using troops against Zhao Guo together, so although it is called an alliance, it is not reliable.

However, if the previous issues are implemented, the alliance between the north and the south is bound to be stronger than everyone thinks.

It's impossible to be fake, how could Chen Tai'an not feel that there are more and more people in Nanman during the battles in the past few days?

"I'll report it to the imperial court right now!" Chen Tai'an didn't dare to ignore it, and immediately raised his pen.

"It will take at least a month for the imperial court to send troops," Cao Zhenling snorted coldly. There is not enough food and grass here."

After all, Chen Tai'an is a battle-tested veteran general, so how could he not understand what Cao Zhenling meant?

Immediately, his face sank, and he felt a little flustered in his heart. What if there is no food?

In a panic, I looked at the simple map that Cao Simu threw out at the beginning, and there were little villages that had been robbed on it.A few months ago, they ordered the surrounding villages to plant potatoes, etc., which ripen quickly and give you a strong sense of satiety.

In addition to potatoes and yams, rice planted in previous years is not allowed to be planted.But who knows that the other party is waiting...

Even if the grain recovered by looting is at most enough for the villagers and the people in the city, they are probably not enough!

"General Cao has a solution?" Chen Wei was sweating profusely.

"All the vacant places in the city are planted with potatoes. After four months, there is no need to worry about the food in the city." The people in the city can be self-sufficient, but the food in the village is enough for them to eat.

"This is a long-term strategy, what about now?" Old General Chen asked again.

"Brother, I wrote to Xiu Mian half a month ago to ask for food." However, it is unknown how much he can get.

Lu An is currently in the peak season for planting potatoes, and there is plenty of rain in the spring of this year. Yu Xiu Mian ordered the people of Lu An to plant potatoes this year. First, to store food, and second, to buy the surplus to the frontier.

Because of this, the surrounding states followed suit and planted crops with large yields, either potatoes or yams.

However, this is not a perfect solution.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and old general Chen also knows that now that the country of Zhao is short of food and grass, how capable is Mr. Yu?

"Potatoes are inedible when they turn green, and those that have sprouted can only keep seeds. Therefore, the two generals Chen must remember to watch the food in the army. If they use green or sprouted ones, the Daluo Immortal will not come back. " Cao Simu said in a deep voice.

The frontier was in a hurry, and when the memorials of Old General Chen and Cao Zhenling were delivered to the desk of today's emperor, Zhao Hechi, the emperor was sweating profusely.

"Cao Zhenling is really capable!" Zhao Hechi was in a terrible headache. "If you have the ability to say that someone is behind the scenes, then catch him! Nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, if it's just Cao Zhenling's words, you may not believe it, but Old General Chen also said the same thing, so I'm afraid it's true." The court minister said immediately.

"Cao Zhenling is young after all, maybe he was talking nonsense in a hurry." There were support and opposition.

"I don't know for sure. Doesn't the memorial sent at the same time also say that troops are sent every time? There has indeed been an increase, but there has been no major action in the north for more than a month." You said humanely.

contain!Contains the north, but wants to tear open the opening of the south.

Jiu Shao thought of this at the same time, if it was true, he was afraid that the south would really suffer!

Most of their military pay, food, clothing, weapons, etc. are first provided to the north.

The south side only wants to get through, but if faced with a huge cavalry attack, Ding'an City will not be able to get through at all!

"Your Majesty, please gather food and grass as soon as possible, and let Mr. Yu go!" Jiu Shao bowed.

"First mobilize [-] troops to Cao Zhenling." Since he found out first, there must be a reason, at least to delay the measures. Give him the [-], and Cao Zhenling also has more than [-] troops." Let Mr. Yu go to Ding'an City! And the food..."Headache, headache!

"Minister, I really can't think of a way..." There is no food and grass, even if there is no food and grass, even after scraping off a layer of skin, there is still no food.

If it is harsh, I am afraid it will force the people to rebel.

After the meeting is over, I have to hurry up and ask Yu Xiumian what to do with the food!

When Yu Xiumian received the first letter from Cao Zhenling, he noticed that there was a difference in the frontier, but he couldn't tell what was different.But when the letters are accumulated, if he still can't figure it out, he is that stupid thing!

Feeling uneasy, he paced back and forth, now the most appropriate thing is to go to the south first, but he is afraid that the court will let him go to the north!

It is obvious that the north is not the main battlefield. If someone in the court indulges or is stubborn and unbelievers, it may be troublesome.After all, I am now an official, if I act rashly, I am afraid that the emperor will be even more suspicious of me.

But this is the case, Yu Xiu Mian still rectifies Lu An, and collects Lu An's surplus food, and uses the surplus materials and silver from this donation to exchange for more money and food.

With the imperial decree, seeing that he was going to Ding'an City, he immediately felt relieved.

"Jiu Shao is not confused!" This is good, Yu Xiu Mian rushed to Ding'an City overnight, bringing the food and grass he had raised.

It's just that these grains are a drop in the bucket for Ding'an.

For the past few days, the emperor has been in a hurry about food and grass.The memorials in the north are getting more and more strange. There are battles every three to five days, but there are not many people.Zhao Hechi is considering transferring a part of the north to the south of Jiangshidao...

"One hundred thousand, at most [-] will be transferred from the north!" At most, Jiu Shao thought.

Indeed, Zhao Hechi didn't know what to do, so the [-]...is to give the south an emergency first, and to test the bottom first.

If the north is less than [-], it will not necessarily be attacked, but if the south is more than [-], it will be able to defend the city.

"But, grain and grass..." Zhao Hechi had a headache again.

In the past two years, Zhao Guo has been plagued by disasters year after year, and life is not easy. These damn barbarians are still going on!

Just when Zhao Hechi was running around in a hurry, the little eunuch next to him came to report, "Report to the emperor, King Juexi Zhao Zishen is waiting outside the door."

When Zhao Hechi heard this, he immediately became upset, "What are you waiting for? Tell him to come in!" It's cold, his brother is weak, how can he wait outside for so long?

"Brother Huang, I'm fine with the important affairs of the court." There was a touch of warmth on that handsome and haughty face.

Zhao Hechi took his hand, it was very cold, and he was immediately unhappy, "Drink two sips of warm tea first to get rid of the cold, although it is true that there are some days like spring, but it is cold after all, you don't want to mess around."

"Yes, Brother Huang." Zhao Zishen felt relieved when he was pulled onto the soft couch by Brother Huang and covered with a quilt.
