Yan Beitian never expected that the queen would bring her son here when she came to fight. When he saw Yan Chu, he rubbed his eyes several times before he was sure that the one standing in front of him was her son.
A little darker, a little fatter, the water and soil in this country are not enough to support people, how did her son be raised like this.
Yan Beitian was born in the capital since she was a child, and she didn't come to the border town until she was sixteen years old. With her mother stationed in the border, she grew up living in the luxurious capital. Even after coming to the border town for more than 30 years, it hasn't changed at all.
Her husband was recruited by her elders in Beijing. He is a truly virtuous, gentle and gentle man. Yan Beitian knew that it would be a pity for him to let this pampered husband accompany him to the frontier as soon as he got married, so this I only married him as a husband in my life, not even a servant.
Now the three daughters and one son under her knees are all born to Zhengjun, but Zhenghu's body is too weak, the harsh environment in the north has hollowed out his body, not long after Yan Beitian gave birth to his son, Zhenghu died of an illness , the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.
Since then, Yan Beitian has not remarried, and because he feels sorry for his son who was born without a father, he can't do anything more than spoil his youngest son.
At that time, the roots of the Yan family had all been moved to become, and most of the members of the Yan clan in the capital had already passed the fifth service, Yan Beitian was worried about handing over the youngest son to those clan members who were not close to him to be raised. You can only take it with you.
On the one hand, he felt that he did not give his son enough living conditions to make him look like a girl, and on the other hand, because of this, he doted on him even more. He danced with a stick and a gun whenever he wanted, and if he liked the Queen, she had the cheek to give the Queen a secret. As long as she gave him what Yuan wanted, she didn't realize that this is a vicious circle. It is impossible for this son to become a man like his father for the rest of his life.
Ever since Yan Chu married into the palace, Yan Beitian was most worried about him. After all, he was from the capital, and he had to go to Beijing to report on his work every few years. He knew that even after more than thirty years, the capital was still the same aesthetic.
Her son can find someone who really likes him in the north, but in the capital, that's a no-brainer.
What's more, the queen who is sitting on the world's beautiful men, how can she really like her brother who is undoubtedly spoiled like a girl.
However, Yan Beitian's worry relaxed a little when he saw the way the empress and her son got along.
Lingtianguan has limited conditions. Even if the empress came, the table of meals prepared with painstaking efforts could not even be compared with ordinary wealthy farmers. Huh, the empress who had never eaten such a thing dared not speak.
But she also understood Beidi's situation, so she wasn't too picky, and just picked some fresh vegetables that looked good and put them in Yan Chu's bowl.
Such proficient movements are definitely not feigned, Yan Beitian still has this discerning vision.
"Mother-in-law, how is the situation outside the pass now?"
Feng Zhao took a sip of the porridge that choked her throat, resisted frowning, and swallowed the bowl of thin porridge in one gulp, then asked Yan Beitian.
mother in law
Yan Beitian's hairs are about to stand on end. If this is just her daughter-in-law, she can still accept this title with a smile, but she is the queen of today, the king of heaven and earth, the master and teacher, and the king is in front of the kiss. If she accepts it calmly This is the mother-in-law, that is the heart of the lard.
"Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."
Looking at Yan Beitian's expression, Feng Zhao knew what Yan Beitian was thinking. She slightly hooked her lips, and took Yan Chu's hand aside: "Ah Chuyuan accompanied me to Beidi regardless of the danger. In this life, I will definitely not let him down."
Yan Chu accepted these words calmly, and also held the Queen's hand back.
His son is so charming
Yan Beitian swallowed. Although he didn't spend much time with the empress face to face, he communicated quite frequently by letter. He also knew the empress's personality. This behavior was definitely not because Yan Chu was her son.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yan Beitian looked at the happy son who was smiling, and felt that it was right for the Empress to like his son. Apart from his lack of appearance, his son was not weaker than anyone else.
Thinking of this, Yan Beitian heaved a sigh of relief, and did not dissuade the empress from calling her mother-in-law, he still kept calling her majesty respectfully.
When Yan Beitian discussed the current situation with the empress, he did not avoid Yan Chu. He frowned when he heard that the Chinv tribes had secretly dispatched troops to attack Jialing Pass or Zhenhai Pass.
"How many defenses are there at Jialing Pass or Zhenhai Customs?" the Queen asked looking at the defense map.
"Jialing Pass currently has 30,000 garrisons, and Zhenguan has 50,000 garrisons, of which 10,000 are temporarily recruited militiamen." It would take longer for the Chinu tribe to attack these two passes by detours. In the future, there may be problems with the supply of food and grass.
The most important thing is to attack all the way to the capital, Lingtian Pass is the closest road, and even if Jialing Pass and Zhenhai Pass are captured, you have to climb several rolling mountains or take another big bend to get there. next pass.
If it weren't for Ling Tianguan being unable to attack for a long time, the opponent would not have thought about attacking these two passes.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that the other party has deliberately set up a suspicious formation, set up a trap to lure them into the bait, and disperse the reinforcements.
The delay was too long. If Tianhuang planned to go to war, reinforcements from the capital should have arrived. The people of the Chinu tribe were not stupid, so they should have guessed this.
"When the follow-up troops arrive, each will dispatch 30,000 troops to the other two passes, and the rest will be stationed at Lingtian Pass."
A total of 150,000 troops were brought in this time, and after subtracting 60,000, there are still 90,000 remaining. In addition to the original garrison at Lingtianguan, and the natural danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to stop the Red Girls, you still have to More than enough, at least able to fight a war of attrition for a long period of time, it depends on which side has enough follow-up supplies.
In another four months, it will be winter in the border town. The Red Girl tribes are in an extremely cold place. When winter comes, they cannot work and graze. They need to rely on stored food for the winter. Food and grass may not be able to survive the whole winter.
The 200,000 army, and the young and middle-aged men of the Red Women's tribes are probably all in the army. This kind of food and grass consumption is definitely not a small amount, and it depends on who can kill who.
Now that Feng Zhao doesn't know their reality, such an approach is the most appropriate.
This coincided with Yan Beitian's thought of going together. She was worried that the empress would go to war with the Red Girl tribes as soon as she came, regardless of the actual situation. General.
It now appears that this worry can also be saved.
"Your Majesty, General, the enemy has attacked the city."
A personal soldier hurried in to report, Feng Zhao and Yan Beitian looked serious, put on their armor and weapons, and walked towards the city wall.
"Stay obediently in the tent and wait for Gu to come back."
Before Feng Zhao left, she gave Yan Chu a word of advice, then put on her helmet, followed Yan Beitian and left without looking back.
At this time, there was a lot of noise in the camp, and Yan Chu opened the curtain to go out. The scene outside the tent was in a hurry, but orderly.
Those who carried stones, those who carried bows and arrows, ran between the city wall and the camp. Yan Chu's attire at the moment was just ordinary.
"Little General?"
Before Yuanshen married Feng Zhao, he was still Yan Beitian's son, and he grew up in the military camp. Even though a year passed, someone looked at him twice, and still recognized him.
Yan Chu turned around and saw that the person who was talking to him was a tall, black and thin man. He could tell this from looking at the other person's protruding Adam's apple and flat chest.
The border town lacks water, especially the soldiers at the bottom or the men who help cook and cook. It is impossible for them to have the luxury of clean water to wipe themselves. At most, they can go to the river a few miles away to take a bath during their shifts In addition, the north is dusty and windy, so most of the faces are dirty.
Therefore, in the case of almost the same service, the only way to distinguish between men and women is to use this stupid method.
Yan Chu looked at the other party carefully, and recognized who this person was.
When Yuanshen was in the border town, in order to prove that men were not weaker than women, he formed a men's army. At that time, the Chinu tribe only occasionally violated the border, and the scale was not too large. The men's army led by Yuanshen really repelled He had a small team of three or four hundred people, so he became famous in the border town.
Most of the men in the border town are casual and not so restrained. When they heard that the son of General Yan formed a men's army and repelled the army of the Chinu tribe, they immediately became overwhelmed. The team at the beginning of the joke had more than 3,000 people at its largest scale. Most of these people were unmarried brothers who thought it was an honor to go to the battlefield to defend their homeland, and their leader was the son of General Yan. Well, if you can't be General Yan's soldier, it's not bad to be her son's soldier.
In his previous life, he wanted to encourage men to resist the rule of women. It was from this team that he had forgotten. These men who grew up in the Northland never felt inferior to girls, but even in the civilized In the Northland, they still suffer a lot of unfair treatment.
For example, male soldiers are never recruited in the army, and when the land is distributed, it is only divided according to the head of the girl in the family, and they are not counted as men. The ending can be imagined.
In fact, these people's ambitions were not as great as the original body's, they just wanted to seek equality, but unfortunately the original body's rebellion failed in the end, and these people were all implicated, either abandoned by their wives or died on the battlefield.
At this time, all that has not happened, those people are naturally living well, and even want to contribute a little bit of their own strength to fight against the red women.
"Little general, no no no, Feng Jun."
Little General is their respectful name for Yuanshen. Yuanshen repelled the small team of three or four hundred people, and made a lot of face for their men. In addition, his mother is a great general, even though he is a man, it is ridiculous It is not an exaggeration to become a little general.
The dark and thin man remembered that the little general had married to the capital a year ago, and became the aloof Fengjun.
His Majesty came to Lingtian Pass personally, so it is not so strange that Yan Chu, who is already Feng Jun, appeared here.
"Feng Jun, I still remember the original promise. Now that the red female clan has violated the border, I beg Feng Jun to call our brothers again to go outside the pass and kill him."
The black and thin man's eyes were particularly shining. He knelt heavily on the ground and looked up at Yan Chu, as if seeing him, he saw hope.
"I-"
"Feng Jun, I'm going to inform those brothers right now, just wait for my good news."
The man ran out of the camp in a hurry without waiting for Yan Chu's answer. Yan Chu looked at the distant figure of the other party, and didn't even have time to make a gesture to stop him.
"Little General!"
"Feng Jun!"
"Little General!"
About an hour or so later, men appeared outside the camp one after another. Among them were men in their fifties and sixties with half white hair, and thirteen or fourteen-year-old youths who looked immature. The most exaggerated one was Yan Chu. I saw a four or five-year-old child who had just finished speaking, holding a wooden stick that I didn't know where to find, waving and shouting at him across the fence of the camp.
"Feng Jun, I just wanted to call my former brothers. I didn't expect everyone to come here spontaneously when they heard that Feng Jun wanted to call us men to form an army to kill the enemy bandits."
The black and thin man who ran away in a hurry before Yan Chu finished speaking just now squeezed his way through the crowd and said to Yan Chu.
"Expel the enemy, protect my homeland!"
Whether they were young children or old people, they were all full of ambition, looking at Yan Chu with burning eyes, and shouting slogans in unison.
"Let everyone come in." Yan Chu whispered to the guards beside him.
The guard hesitated for a moment, considering the identity of the other party, he still let these men in.
No one expected that today, the first men's army that will scare the world in the future, would be established so casually.
*****
"Where's my man?"
"Where's my son?"
"Didn't you just disappear in the field/stove/market just now?"
The most exaggerated thing is that a girl was taking a bath that day, and the husband said he was going to help her get the clothes, but he never returned. The bath room and other rooms of the girl's house had to pass through a yard, and there was no shelter around her. Things, until her old mother came home at night and freed her from the cold tub.
Why isn't daddy here? Because Dad ran away too.
In one day, most of the men in Lingtianguan City and several nearby cities disappeared inexplicably. It was not until later that the girls who were anxious to find the missing family members found out that those who had planted half of the land, burned half of the vegetables, bought Half of the guys and men went to the pass to serve as soldiers. That army was organized by the little general back then and now Feng Jun.
Later, when there was no boy in the family, everyone knew about it, and it was probably another brother who went to join the army.
In the past, there might have been some people who would have criticized them, but now that they are in dire straits, all they can have is admiration for these brave men.
