Speaking of these Lu Shu complained a lot, he continued: "Not only the poor people have opinions, but the merchants and big landowners also have opinions. Normally, the court usually imposes heavy taxes and they have already paid a lot. This time they heard that there was a war. Many businesses took the initiative to donate a lot, and then suddenly increased taxes and had to pay a few more taels of silver every month. In these troubled times, business is hard to do! Paying a few more taels of silver every month is very damaging! And now suddenly We have to pay another 10,000 kilograms of grain! For a rice shop of our size to pay an extra 10,000 kilograms of grain, it will seriously damage our vitality! It’s strange that everyone has no objections!"
When Lu Shu thought about having to hand over another 10,000 kilograms of grain to the enemy, he felt resentful, even though he had earned it from the enemy's prince.
But around this year, he has handed over 100 taels of silver and 30,000 jins of grain!
This money is still for the enemy. Do you think he can help it
Nalan Jinnian: "The magistrate of Anfeng County, Beiming State has indeed gone too far this time. This is also our opportunity..."
Beiming Kingdom made such a big mistake at this time, which aroused public outrage. Naturally, Nalan Jinnian would not miss this opportunity.
He also told Lu Shu what to do next and create all favorable conditions to welcome the arrival of the army.
After Nalan Jinnian finished explaining, Lu Shu bowed respectfully and left.
After Lu Shu retreated, Nuan Nuan asked, "Tonight?"
Although the words were confusing, Nalan Jinnian still understood them.
"Well, just tonight."
Today, Beiming's 100,000 troops have arrived near Anfeng County. They took a detour and ambush in Tianhe Mountain, waiting to steal their food.
Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. This has been the rule of marching throughout the ages.
"Would you like to go over and take a look tonight?" Nuan Nuan asked.
After all, this is another battle where less defeats more.
In such a battle, the whole army will be wiped out if there is even a slight mistake.
Nalan Jinnian has always regarded the life of every soldier as important as his own life.
In every war, what he considers most is how to save the lives of more soldiers.
"No need." How could Nalan Jinnian feel relieved to let Wen Nuan stay alone in the enemy's city.
"I can go with you. Our children are well behaved! Don't worry, even if you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, nothing will happen." Wen Nuan knew that he couldn't worry about himself.
She couldn't help but touch her belly. This child really knew how to choose the right time to come!
I don’t even know if it’s a spy sent by God to help.
It simply restricted the freedom of both of them.
But he is really good, except that he eats more and sleeps more, and has no other reaction.
Nalan Jinnian pinched the center of his eyebrows. The little girl had no idea that she was a twin. When she was happy, did that woman still want to go to the battlefield
"You don't have to think about it, I won't allow it! Besides, if we can't handle tonight's battle, we in Nalan Kingdom don't have to fight anymore!"
After all, compared with the number of soldiers, Nalan Kingdom has hundreds of thousands less than Beiming Kingdom. Besides, Nalan Kingdom now has to deal with the four countries, and its troops have been scattered everywhere.
In other words, for a long time in the future, Nalan Kingdom can only fight a battle of defeating more with less!
However, Nalan Jinnian still has some confidence in tonight's battle.
Although it is impossible to destroy the enemy's 100,000-strong army, it is still possible to injure the opponent's 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
His purpose was only to destroy the enemy's 20,000 to 30,000 troops and destroy the opponent's morale first!
This gave the enemy troops of the Beiming Kingdom the illusion that no matter what tactics they used or what formations they set up, they, the Nalan Kingdom, would be able to see through them and defeat them in turn!
What he wants to build is an invincible Nalan army!
Let the enemy be frightened!
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan didn't say anything else. Well, she was sleepy again, so she might as well take a nap to recuperate her energy and prepare to heal the soldiers!
I don’t know if any soldiers were injured in tonight’s battle. Even if there were not, there will be an attack on the city tomorrow, so there must be soldiers injured.
She had used up her purple energy today, so she had to recover quickly.
So Nuan Nuan explained to Nalan Jinnian and went back to bed.
Nalan Jinnian placed the charcoal stove next to the bed and opened some windows to let Nuan Nuan sleep warmer.
After doing all this, he returned to the desk again and stared at the map.

The night is quiet, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
The people in Anfeng County were all in a deep sleep, and the city, which had been noisy all day, was also in a dreamland.
It was pitch black all around, so silent that there was no sound at all.
Nuan Nuan also fell asleep. Since the wedding, she has been eating well and sleeping soundly. She does not wake up as easily as usual.
After Nalan Jinnian waited for Wen Nuan to fall asleep, he quietly got out of bed and stood by the window sill, waiting for the news to come back.
In this silent night, Tianhe Mountain was ablaze with flames and screams could be heard everywhere.
Zhou Yi led five thousand soldiers, ignited the "grain and grass" on the carts, and rushed towards the enemy.
In the valley, Beiming's 100,000-strong army was surrounded by trains that burned extremely vigorously.
The raging fire instantly heated up the valley, and the ice and snow hanging on the branches began to melt.
Sharp arrows were shot at the Beiming soldiers who were surrounded by groups!
They tried their best to dig up the ice and snow on the ground to put out the fire, but they couldn't put out the train soaked in tung oil.
Zhou Yi commanded five thousand soldiers to kill the enemy with bows and arrows. When all the bows and arrows he brought to everyone were used up, he threw a thunderbolt directly at the enemy loyalists, and then loudly said: "Withdraw!"
The five thousand soldiers, not wary at all, quickly retreated.
Just after they ran a short distance away, there was a rumble behind them.
The five thousand soldiers did not look back, and quickly retreated through the mountains, rushing to join the army.
The siege begins tomorrow!
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the hourglass, then he gently opened the door and walked out.
Then he jumped onto the roof, stood on the roof, and waited in the biting cold wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky in the distance finally lit up with a little red light.
He raised his lips slightly, jumped back to the ground, and returned to the house quietly. Then he warmed his body in front of the charcoal stove, then returned to bed and fell asleep with his beloved in his arms.
He didn't sleep long after that. Two hours later, a burst of trumpets sounded, followed by a chaotic noise.
The cries of babies, the barking of dogs, and the panicked shouts of people. It's so confusing.
Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan opened their eyes at the same time.
Chen Huan knocked on the door at this time: "Master, Princess, our army has begun to attack the city!"
Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian both sat up.
Nalan Jinnian quickly got out of bed. He brought Nuan Nuan's clothes over and said to Nuan Nuan while helping him put on his clothes: "Get dressed first and then sleep for a while. Don't worry."
