Chapter 59: A woman does not give in to a man
In the county mansion!
Sima Ru and Yuan Langying had sad expressions on their faces. Nan Li's tens of thousands of troops had arrived in Xihuang County. How could they resist Nan Li's army with just these soldiers and horses, and there were no generals in the county.
As for Sima Ru, he could manage states and counties, but fighting and commanding armies were really not his strengths.
As for Yuan Langying, he is not a general. The latter may be good at intelligence, but he is not good at commanding battles.
"Lord Sima, we have to think of a way to deal with it quickly!" Yuan Langying was extremely anxious, "Otherwise, you take Mrs. Hou, the old lady, and the family members of the generals out of the city, and I will lead the troops.
Stop the barbarian army."
Yuan Langying has never been afraid of death. On the contrary! He is an extremely loyal person. Ever since Ying Ziyi was willing to accept him and put him in such an important position, he vowed to serve Ying Ziyi in his life.
Yi, go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire, no matter what.
"For now, that's all we have to do!" Sima Ru sighed.
The family members of the lord and the generals are all in Xihuang City. If anything goes wrong in Xihuang City, then! These family members will become a burden that the entire Zhennan Army cannot make decisions about. Maybe! The morale of the Zhennan Army will drop sharply.
Even the entire Huangzhou must be surrendered to Nan Li. Then all previous efforts will be in vain.
"We can't withdraw, we must not withdraw!" At this moment, a woman's voice, extremely sonorous and powerful, sounded in the house.
I saw Chen Tanxiang, wearing a red battle armor and holding a spear in one hand.
When Sima Ru and Yuan Langying saw Chen Tanxiang dressed up like this, they were stunned and extremely shocked.
This...this is their Madam Hou, wearing armor, so heroic and heroic, like a woman, no less than a man.
"Greetings, Mrs. Hou!" The two of them bowed.
"Mrs. Hou, what are you..." Sima Ru asked blankly.
Does the latter want to wear armor and go to the battlefield to fight?
"The Marquis is not in Xihuang County. As the Marquis' wife, I will be the commander-in-chief of Xihuang County. From now on, all the troops and horses in Xihuang County will be dispatched by my wife." Chen Tanxiang said with a firm face.
.
In fact, Chen Tanxiang's temperament is very extraordinary, and her origin has always been mysterious. Ying Ziyi asked about it before, but the latter just said that she was sold by her family. But you should think about it, Chen Tanxiang is from the Western Regions
, even women in the Western Regions have to fight. Take Loulan as an example. Their country has a female army, and the women's martial arts are also extraordinary.
Sima Ru and Yuan Langying's eyes widened.
This is the first time in the history of the Central Plains for a woman to fight.
"Mrs. Hou, you are still five months pregnant! If anything goes wrong, you will not be able to bear this humble position!" Sima Ru said, "Besides, since ancient times, no woman has ever gone into battle to kill the enemy."
"Then it will be available starting from today."
"There are no generals in the army, and I am the commander-in-chief. The people of Xihuang County, which the Marquis has managed to run with great difficulty, have the support of the people. Once we retreat, the reputation of the Marquis will surely plummet. As officers and soldiers, we actually abandon the people and escape on our own."
Well, then! How will the Marquis govern the place in the future and how will he convince the people? Aren’t we, the people’s soldiers, going to chill the hearts of the people?"
Chen Tanxiang's words made Sima Ru and Yuan Langying feel ashamed.
Two big men are worse than one woman.
"But the disparity in our... military strength is too great, we really... can't win!" Sima Ru patted his thigh.
Chen Tanxiang looked at Sima Ru with sharp eyes, "Can't win? Then find a way to win, no matter where the Marquis is? Or with my wife, there is no word of surrender. I, my wife, will coexist with Xihuang County.
.”
All she knew was that the Marquis was not at home, so she had to guard this place for the Marquis.
Even if you die in battle, you will never retreat.
She just wants to tell the child in her belly what kind of person her mother is.
"Sanxiang is right. Nanli invaded and so many people were massacred. Even if we retreat, where can we retreat to? From now on, Tanxiang and I will live and die with Xihuang County." At this moment,
Han Shuyao walked out and sat directly on the main seat.
Sima Ru and Yuan Langying were frightened, but then they gritted their teeth.
"Old madam, madam, we have no backbone. From now on, I will never retire from my humble position." Sima Ru said in a strong voice.
Women are like this, let alone men like them.
Bang bang bang!
At this time, there was a crisp sound of slaps coming from outside the house.
"Okay, women will not be inferior to men. If the Marquis can have his wife to help him, there is no need to worry about failure in his great cause!"
"Yang Family Yang Sheng, led the Yang family's five hundred servants to help Mrs. Hou!"
"Huang Duan, the Huang family, leads the Huang family's five hundred servants to help Madam Hou!"
"Han Xuan of the Han family will lead five hundred servants of the Han family to help Madam Hou!"
When the three of them heard Chen Tanxiang's heroic adverbial words, they were deeply moved. Is this still what a woman said?
If men like them don't stand up again, will they still be men?
"Mrs. Hou, the dog Huang Liang is willing to serve as your vanguard general!"
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, Han Lei is here to help you and lead the way for you."
"My sister-in-law, and I, Han Xiu, are willing to serve as your vanguard general."
At this moment, Chen Tanxiang and Han Shuyao were extremely moved.
A family, this is a family.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Tanxiang's mouth, and she was extremely touched.
They are all from Xihuang County, how can they not know the way of life and death?
"Mrs. Hou, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us alone to resist the Nanli barbarians for three days. I wonder what Mrs. Hou has in mind!" Yang Sheng asked.
Um!
Chen Tanxiang nodded, thought for a moment, and pointed at the entire Xihuang County, "Look, everyone, we have nearly 200,000 troops at our disposal in Xihuang County. Why fear the tens of thousands of Nanli barbarians?"
"Two hundred thousand troops?" All the family heads looked at each other.
Sima Ru understood the idea and said, "Mrs. Hou, do you mean to mobilize the entire people of Xihuang County?"
"Not bad!" Chen Tanxiang nodded.
"But the people in Xihuang are all frightened by Nan Li. It would be troublesome to mobilize them." Sima Ru was a little confused.
"What? They have the knife on their necks and they don't know how to resist, so they deserve to die. When I was on the grassland, everyone from children to old people, as long as there was an invasion by foreign enemies, they were all capable of fighting.
We, the people of Huangzhou, are fierce and fierce, can't we fight against the barbarians of Nanli?"
"Even a woman like me has stepped on the sword and is willing to mount a horse to fight. How can they still watch?"
"It all depends on man."
"Yuan Langying, go and post a notice now and tell the people of Xihuang County that if you don't want to die, follow my wife and the prince to the city to defend against the enemy."
Chen Tanxiang's voice is sonorous, powerful and resounding.
