Chapter 654: War in the Northwest

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Dong Nuan went to look at the trees he had planted before, as well as various flowers and grasses.

For a moment, I was filled with emotions.

"It always feels like we've been gone for a long time." Dong Nuan couldn't help but sigh.

Han Jianglou stood beside her, holding her hand gently. Hearing Dong Nuan sigh, he smiled and said: "Where is it? It will only take a few years for him to come back."

"Look at the trees I planted before, they have all grown into old trees." Dong Nuan pointed to the trees that she still had some impression of and told Hanjiang Tower.

Hanjianglou followed the direction of her finger and looked at it from time to time. If he had an impression, he would say a few words. If he didn't, he would forget it.

The two of them were walking around, and on the other side, Mr. Han was already playing with Nao Nao.

When children find new places interesting, they can't help but want to explore more.

She was so fast that the wet nurse and the others had to trot along with her.

It's hard for Mr. Han to still chase his little granddaughter all over the mountains and plains despite his old age.

Dong Nuan and her family are planning to have a few days of fun on Zhuangzi.

As a result, before lunch was ready, I heard that not far away, there seemed to be fast horses at the border crossing, rushing into the city, and I could see waving flags in the distance.

One look at the situation and it seemed like something was urgent!

Moreover, the flag seems to be from the northwest border gate, General Wu's side.

Seeing this scene, Dong Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She pulled Hanjiang Tower beside her and murmured: "There won't be a fight in the northwest, right?"

Watching the fast horse galloping, Hanjianglou's heart couldn't stop beating, and he sighed softly: "It's hard to say. It is said that last winter, life in the south was not easy, and many cattle and sheep died."

When times are good, the South is already ready to take action, let alone when times are bad.

Youchang Kingdom was destroyed before, which gave the Southern Kingdom some shock, but...

Isn’t it true that the Youchang Kingdom has been destroyed for a long time, and my own family’s life was not easy, so I started to worry about what was in other people’s pots and bowls.

Therefore, it is possible that the northwest is really at war.

The news reached Zhuangzi in the afternoon.

There is indeed a fight in the northwest.

The Southern Kingdom directly sent an army of 200,000 troops to attack directly. It was obvious at a glance that they were well prepared.

The other party not only robbed them of money and food, but also robbed them of their women and children. It can be said that their methods were quite cruel.

In recent years, it was also because the Wu family army was so powerful that they were intimidated.

This time he directly commanded an army of 200,000, which shows that his ambition is extraordinary.

When the news reached the capital, His Majesty was naturally furious!

However, after getting angry, some arrangements still need to be made.

They were beaten right at the door of their house, and the emperor didn't have the heart to endure it, so he just beat them and fucked them!

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth and arranged for many military generals to go directly to the northwest. Those with garrisons in several states near the northwest also gave tiger charms and sent troops directly to support.

Of course, these are not enough, and reserve military supplies must be prepared.

The northwest is no better than the southwest. The climate and environment in the southwest are good, and if you grow grain, you can produce a lot.

But the situation in the northwest is not good. The wind and sand are strong and there is little rain. The environment is so harsh that people can barely live there.

So, want to grow food?

It would be nice to be able to recover a little throughout the year. Sometimes a sandstorm comes and nothing is left.

For a war at this time, military supplies will definitely be insufficient.

Fortunately, corn has been promoted well in the past two years, so last year's harvest was bumper, and grains can still be adjusted in other places.

As long as the court supports this kind of thing, the battle is actually relatively easy to fight.

The Wu family's army is very powerful. It will not be a problem to defend the border and even attack from the southern country.

But don’t let the reserve army hold you back, or don’t have a group of courtiers who hold you back.

While the soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles, the imperial court in the back is trying to make peace every day.

When this news reaches the front line, the soldiers will be furious?

At this time, the emperor's attitude is very important.

There are also courtiers who want to make peace, but if the emperor gives the order to fight, who dares to say no?

His Majesty dared to show his face when he was so angry...

Oh, as long as they have such courage, they will not be the Lord and the sect.

Therefore, at this time, please be honest, otherwise you will be easily caught by His Majesty.

You know, if your Majesty is ruthless, he will really chop down the courtiers with his sword!

In fact, winter warmth cannot help much, and reserve military supplies cannot be transferred directly from the capital.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away. By the time the grain and grass from their side are transported over, everything will be cold.

Therefore, it is better to get it from the nearest places in the northwest.

This battle started in June and has not stopped since.

By late August, there was still fighting there.

The soldiers of the Wu family army in the northwest were brave and skillful in fighting, and they were able to withstand the 200,000-strong army from the south.

The South Kingdom came here with the belief that they would die. If they didn't tear off a piece of Dayue's flesh, they wouldn't let him go.

Therefore, even if they were defeated, they would not retreat, they would just rush forward!

!

The road to the northwest is far, and it will take five or six days for the news to come back.

This is the result of changing horses and running faster.

Therefore, winter warmth is only known gradually.

The latest news came three days ago, saying that General Wu had captured another city in the South. Now he had just set up camp and was resting. Although the South had been repulsed, he had no intention of withdrawing his troops.

It is estimated that this battle will continue for some time.

At the end of August, Meng Rong was about to give birth. Because her previous child was gone, she felt quite nervous.

In addition to the war in the northwest, her eldest brother Meng Zheng went to the northwest. There is no news now, so it is not clear what happened to him.

Therefore, Meng Rong was in a mixed mood.

She didn't want to do this, but sometimes people's brains are out of control, so there was no way.

In order to appease her, the eldest princess specially invited Dong Nuan to accompany her.

Dong Nuan has been free recently and has nothing to do.

She doesn't need to worry about things in Zhuangzi.

In addition, the eldest princess has a very good attitude and comes to the house to invite her in person. No matter what, she has to show her face.

Therefore, Dong Nuan moved into the eldest princess mansion.

Meng Rongyou went to Weizhou when she was three months pregnant.

After all, it is not easy for people to be separated from their husbands all the time, but because of the previous child incident, she was worried, so after staying there for a few months, she returned to the capital.

Now that the birth is approaching and Mr. Xu cannot come back, it is normal for Meng Rong to feel unsettled.

After the winter warmth passed, Meng Rong was quite happy. He touched his big belly, said hello to the winter warmth, and then sat down again.

Her stomach is heavy now and her movement is not very convenient.

The imperial doctor said that her due date is in the next few days, and if she still hasn't given birth by that date, then she needs to see if she needs to take some labor-inducing medicine.

Dong Nuan sat down and talked with her. Meng Rong started talking about the children, and then talked about the Northwest War.

At the end of the sentence, he was still a little worried: "I don't know what happened to the soldiers, and I don't know either..."

Speaking of his brother, Meng Rong sighed again.
