Yan Beitian didn't expect the empress to come to war. He even brought her son here. When he saw Yan Chu, he rubbed his eyes several times to make sure that her son was standing in front of him. That's right.
It's darker and fatter. The soil and water in this country are not enough to support people. How can she cultivate her son like this.
Yan Beitian was born in the national capital when she was young. She didn't come to the border city until she was 16 years old. With her mother stationed in the border, her childhood living environment is the capital of the country. Even if she has been to the border city for more than 30 years, it hasn't changed at all.
Her husband was a real virtuous and gentle man who was organized by her elders in Beijing. Yan Beitian knew that it was a pity for him to let this well-off husband accompany him to the frontier fortress as soon as he got married. Therefore, he only married one husband in his life, not even a waiter.
Now the three women and one son under her knee were born by he Zhengjun, but Zhengfu's body was too weak. The harsh environment in the North hollowed out his body. Not long after Yan Bei gave birth to his son, Zhengfu died because of a disease.
Since then, Yan Beitian did not marry again, and because he felt that his son was born without a father, he was sorry for him. He doted on his little son most.
At that time, the roots of the Yan family had all moved to become. Most of the Yan people in the capital had already given five clothes. Yan Beitian was not confident that he would hand over his young son to those people who were not close to him for upbringing, so he had to take it with him.
On the one hand, he felt that he did not give his son enough living conditions to develop a girl's appearance. On the other hand, he doted on him more because of this. He would dance with a stick and get a gun if he wanted to dance with a stick and get a gun. He liked the queen, so she had the cheek to give the queen a secret fold. As long as she gave him everything she wanted, she did not find that this was a vicious circle. This son could not become a man like his father all his life.
Since Yan Chu married into the palace, Yan Beitian has been most worried about him. After all, he is a national surname and has to go to Beijing to report on his work every few years. He knows that even after more than 30 years, the national capital is still the former aesthetic.
Her son can find someone who really likes him in Beidi. In the capital, there is no need to think about it.
What's more, the queen, who has beautiful men all over the world, how can she really like her beloved brother like a girl.
However, Yan Beitian was a little relieved when he saw the way the queen and her son got along.
The conditions of lingtianguan are limited. Even if the queen comes and tries hard to toss out a table of food, it can't even compare with ordinary rich farmers. The only bacon that can be called meat is a few pieces visible to the naked eye. It's dark, so that the queen who has never eaten this kind of thing dare not talk.
But she also understood the situation in Beidi and was not too picky. She just picked some fresh melons and vegetables that looked good and put them in Yan Chu's bowl.
Such skilled movements are definitely not pretended. Yan Beitian still has the insight of knowing people.
"Mother in law, what's the situation outside the pass now?"
Feng Zhu took a sip of the porridge, which was choking his throat, refrained from frowning, drank the bowl of porridge hard, and then asked Yan Beitian.
Mother in law?
Yan Beitian's hair is about to stand up. If she is only her daughter-in-law, she can accept this title with a smile, but she is the queen of today. You are the parent teacher of Tiandi Jun. you are in front of your parents. If you accept this mother-in-law calmly, you will be deceived by lard.
"Don't worry about your mother-in-law."
Feng Zhu looked at Yan Beitian's expression and knew her mind. He slightly hooked his lips and pulled aside Yan Chu's hand: "ah Chu resented coming to Beidi with me regardless of danger. In this life, I will not bear him."
Yan Chu accepted this sentence calmly and held the Queen's hand back.
How charming is your son?
Yan Beitian swallowed his mouth. Although he didn't spend much time with the female emperor face-to-face, he kept in frequent correspondence. He also knew the female emperor's personality. This performance was definitely not because Yan Chu was her son.
He was shocked and looked at his happy son with a smile. Yan Beitian felt that the female emperor should like his son. Except for his lack of appearance, his son was not weaker than anyone.
On this thought, Yan Beitian was relieved and did not dissuade the queen from calling her mother-in-law. He still maintained his Majesty's respectful name.
Yan Beitian did not avoid Yan Chu when discussing the current situation with the female emperor. He frowned when he heard that the red women's ministries quietly sent troops to attack Jialing pass or town customs.
"How many guards are there at Jialing customs or town customs?" The queen looked at the defense map and asked.
"There are 30000 troops stationed at Jialing customs and 50000 troops stationed at the town customs, of which 10000 are temporarily recruited militia." It will take longer for Chinu tribe to attack these two checkpoints. In this way, there may be problems in food and grass supply.
The most important thing is to attack the national capital all the way. Lingtianguan is the nearest road. Even if Jialing pass and town customs are captured, they have to climb over several long mountains or take another big turn to reach the next pass.
If Ling Tianguan hadn't been able to attack for a long time, the other party wouldn't want to start at these two checkpoints.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that the other party may set up a suspicious array, set a trap to lead them to the hook and disperse reinforcements.
It's been too long. If Tianhuang plans to go to war, the reinforcements from the capital should also come. The people of Chinu tribe should have guessed this if they are not stupid.
"When the follow-up troops arrive, they will send 30000 troops to the other two checkpoints, and the rest will be stationed at lingtianguan."
The total number of troops brought this time is 150000. After subtracting 60000, there is 90000 left. In addition, the original garrison of Ling Tianguan and the natural danger here, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is more than enough to stop the red women's departments. At least it can fight a war of attrition for a long time, depending on the subsequent supply of that party.
In another four months, it will be winter in the border city. The red women's departments are in an extremely cold place. In winter, they can't work and herd. They need to rely on the stored food for the winter. Even if they prepare enough food and grass in advance for the war, they may not be able to survive the whole winter.
It is estimated that all the young and middle-aged people of the 200000 army and the red women's departments are in the army. Such food and grass consumption is definitely not a small amount. It depends on who can die.
At present, Fenghu doesn't know their reality, so this is the most appropriate way.
It happened that Yan Beitian wanted to go with her. Before, she was worried that when the queen came, she would be eager to go to war with the red women's departments. Regardless of the actual situation, if the queen had any difference, it would be her, the general in charge of the army.
Now it seems that this worry can be saved.
"Your Majesty, general, the enemy has attacked the city."
A close soldier hurried in and reported that Feng Hu and Yan Bei were in a cold sky. They put on their armor, took their weapons and walked towards the wall.
"Wait for the orphan to come back in the camp account."
Before leaving, Feng Zhu gave an order to Yan Chu, then put on his helmet and left with Yan Bei without looking back.
At this time, there was a noisy sound in the camp. Yan Chu opened the curtain and went out. The scene outside the tent was hurried but orderly.
The stone carrier and the bow and arrow carrier ran at both ends of the city wall and the camp. Yan Chu's dress at the moment was just ordinary. The soldiers came and went in a hurry. No one recognized that he was the Fengjun who came with the queen.
"Little general?"
Yuan Shen was Yan Beitian's son before he married Feng Jian. He grew up in the military camp from now on. Even after a year, some people recognized him.
Yan Chu turned around and saw that he was talking to a black, thin and tall man. He saw this by looking at each other's raised Adam's apple and flat chest.
The border town is short of water, especially the soldiers at the bottom or the men who help cook and cook. They can't have clean water to brush their bodies. At most, they go to the river a few miles away to take a bath when taking turns. In addition, the north is dusty and windy, so most of their faces are dirty.
Therefore, when the service is almost the same, we can only use this stupid method to distinguish men and women.
Yan Chu looked at each other carefully and recognized who the man was.
When I was in the border town, I once organized a men's army to prove that men were not weaker than women. At that time, the red women tribe only occasionally violated the border, and the scale was not large. The men's army led by me really beat back a small team of 300 or 400 people, so it became famous in the border town.
Most of the men in the border town are casual and not so restrained. When they heard that general Yan's son formed a men's army and beat back the army of the red women tribe, they immediately became boiling. The original team started just because of a joke. At the largest, there were more than 3000 people, most of whom were unmarried brothers, I just think it's glorious to be able to defend my home on the battlefield, and their leader is general Yan's son. If they can't be general Yan's soldier, it's good to be her son's soldier.
In his previous life, he wanted to encourage men to resist women's rule, which began with the team he forgot. These men who grew up in Beidi never felt worse than women, but even in the civilized Beidi, they still suffered a lot of unfair treatment.
For example, the army never wanted male soldiers in conscription, and when dividing the land, it was only divided according to the head of the girl in the family, not men. The original body promised them all kinds of benefits and fooled these not smart "old forces". We can imagine the final outcome.
In fact, these people's ambition is not as big as their original body. They just want to seek equality. Unfortunately, in the end, their original rebellion was defeated. All these people were involved, either abandoned by their wife's family or died on the battlefield.
At this time, all that has not happened. Naturally, those people are living well, and even want to contribute a little to the fight against the red women.
"Little general, no, no, Feng Jun."
The little general is their honorific name for the original body. At the beginning, the original body beat back the small team of 300 or 400 people and made a face for their men. In addition, his mother is a big general. Although he is a man, it's not too much to be a little general.
The black and thin man remembered that the little general married to the capital a year ago and became a high Feng Jun.
Your Majesty's imperial expedition came to lingtianguan. It's not so strange that Yan Chu, who is already Fengjun, appeared here.
"Feng Jun, I still remember my original promise. Now the red women are in trouble. I beg Feng Jun to summon our brother again to go outside the pass and kill him."
The black and thin man, but his eyes were especially shining. He knelt heavily on the ground and looked up at Yan Chu, as if he saw him and saw hope.
"I --"
"Feng Jun, I'll inform those brothers now. Just wait for my good news."
The man rushed out of the camp without waiting for Yan Chu's answer. Yan Chu looked at the other party's distant figure and waved to make him stop.
"Little general!"
"Feng Jun!"
"Little general!"
About an hour or so, men appeared outside the camp one after another. Among them were 50 or 60 years old, half white haired, and 13 or 14 years old, still young. The most exaggerated thing was that Yan Chu saw a child of 45 years old who had just said everything, holding a wooden stick he didn't know where to find, waving and shouting at him across the fence of the camp.
"Feng Jun, originally just wanted to call his former brothers. Unexpectedly, everyone came spontaneously as soon as Feng Jun wanted to summon our men to form an army to kill the enemy."
Just before Yan Chu finished speaking, the black and thin man who hurried away squeezed through the crowd and said to Yan Chu.
"Drive away the enemy and protect my home!"
Whether young children or old people, they all looked at Yan Chu with full ambition, and shouted slogans neatly.
"Let everyone in." Yan Chu whispered to the nearby guard.
Pro Wei hesitated for a moment, worried about each other's identity, or let these men in.
No one expected that today, the first men's army that will frighten the world in the future was established casually.
*****
"Where's my man?"
"Where's my son?"
"Wasn't it just in the field / stove / market? It disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
The most exaggerated thing is that a girl was taking a bath that day. The husband said he was going to help her get her clothes. The result is gone forever. The bathhouse and other rooms of the girl's house must pass through a yard, and there is no shelter around. She was not freed from the cold bath bucket until her mother came home at night.
Why isn't dad here? Because dad ran away, too.
One day, most of the men in lingtianguan city and several nearby cities disappeared inexplicably. It was not until later that the girls eager to find the missing family knew that the men who planted half the land, burned half the vegetables and bought half the things ran to the pass to become soldiers. The army was still organized by the original little general and now Fengjun.
Later, when another man disappeared from the family, everyone knew. It was estimated that he was another brother who went to join the army.
If in the past, there might have been some criticism. Now it's a big disaster. For these brave men, all they can have is admiration.
