It was already late at night when Xiao Han returned to the military camp, but the lights in the main camp tent were still bright.
"General, let me go. Ayu has been holding out for a few days. He has too few men and horses, so he will suffer a big loss."
"Uncle, let me go. This guy in the tower is too cunning. He is hanging on here with us on the surface, but secretly he mobilized so many people to attack Xiangyun City. What a shame." Su Yu's face turned red with anger.
Su Li was very calm, "Soldiers never tire of deceit, no wonder others. We originally asked Ayu to go there because we wanted to reach Xiangyun City before him in the northern region. We have succeeded. We thought they would make other arrangements, but in the end, they allocated 100,000 troops. Attacking a small Xiangyun City was something we never expected."
"Brother, we only have 200,000 troops. Including the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, it's only 300,000. There are 800,000 horses in the Northern Territory. Even if 100,000 are allocated to attack Xiangyun City, there are still 700,000. We..." Su Yi was helpless. If they mobilized troops to Xiangyun City, they would be very passive once the Northern Territory launched an attack.
"Uncle, please let me go. The last time my group of troops used gunpowder to blow up those small countries, everyone was in danger. That's why their military morale was unstable and they didn't dare to attack us. They could only use a small Test. This time, we can do the same." Su Yu was very confident. He believed that as long as he arranged for him to go there, he would definitely be able to help his elder brother.
"Yes, brother, let Ayu go. Yu'er has been holding on there for several days. He only has so many men and horses, and they are almost reaching their limit."
Su Li was also very worried, that was his eldest son.
When Xiao Han entered, the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.
"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!"...
Everyone saluted, Xiao Yi took the cloak for Xiao Han, and Su Li immediately gave up the first place.
"General, leave Ayu to me. I will send ten thousand black-armored troops to support you."
The main force will not move. As long as the defense here is good, there will be no problem.
"Your Majesty, let me go too." Su Yu stepped forward. He really couldn't worry about his elder brother.
"Ayu, you have other arrangements." Xiao Han looked at the other generals, "Let the others go down first."
After the others left, Xiao Yi went to guard outside the camp.
"This time, the Northern Territory obviously wants to use their 800,000 troops to drag us to death. We are not 100% sure of attacking them by force, so we are testing them again and again. Moreover, here is about to usher in an extreme cold that is rare to see in a century. Weather, the Northern Territory is fully prepared for this war, but we are not. They can delay it for a month or two months, or a year or two. Our soldiers will not be able to support it, and the court cannot afford it. Get up, let alone the common people."
"This is what we have been worried about." Su Li sighed.
"Then we can't back down. As long as I'm still alive, I will never take a step back." Su Yu stated immediately.
However, none of the people in the camp were inspired by his impassioned words, and their expressions remained solemn.
"Does the prince have any other plans?" Su Yi looked at Xiao Han and felt that King Jingnan had other plans because he took the initiative to mention this matter.
"I plan to go to the Northern Territory after the year."
"Going to the Northern Territory? No, it's too dangerous." Su Li was the first to object.
"I'll go there in disguise and bring enough people with me. Everything will be fine. We can't drag it out like this. We have to solve the problem from the source."
"If they want to play, we will play with them. Who is afraid of whom?" Su Yu was young and energetic and unwilling to compromise.
"We can afford it, it's the people who suffer." Su Yi's words made everyone fall silent again.
"A lot of preparations have been made over at Yue'er. New varieties of grain have also been found, and the prince has arranged for people to take care of the matter."
"I heard that famine has begun in some places?"
"Yes, the court is also handling it. There won't be any big problems for the time being. Ayu, you go to Xuancheng tomorrow. Yue'er has something to give to you."
"What is it?" Su Yu immediately became excited upon hearing this. His sister must be looking for him, and there must be something good going on.
"You'll know when you go there." Xiao Han showed a meaningful smile.
"Your Majesty, please give it another thought when it comes to going to the Northern Territory." Su Li was still worried and reminded him again and again.
"We will discuss this matter again. There is still time before the Chinese New Year."
Although Xiao Han said so, it was difficult to change the decision he made. Su Li also knew that, so he didn't try to persuade him.
Xiao Yi, who was standing guard outside the camp, had his hands and feet a little stiff from the cold. Looking at the soldiers who were warming up around the fire not far away, he felt anxious inside. The day was getting colder and colder.
"Pa," Xiao Wu didn't know when he appeared, and he patted Xiao Yi's shoulder hard with his paw.
Xiao turned around and said coldly, "You want to die, right?"
Xiao Wu immediately smiled flatteringly, "I came to see you as soon as I came back. You really can't take jokes."
Wearing warm fur clothes, he dangled in front of Xiao Yi.
"Where did you get these clothes?" The prince seemed to be wearing the same clothes. He looked warm, but he was the master. He didn't dare to have any ideas, but Xiao Wu, hehehe.
"New clothes, you are warm." Envy it, hehehehe, this is given by the princess, and you Xiao Yi don't have it.
That desultory look is really annoying.
"It's pretty good. Tell me, where did it come from?" Xiao Yi calmly gestured to the person in the dark.
"Given by the princess, hey hey, I got a big deal this time. Everyone I brought out got a suit like this, and boots, which made them warm. Look how cold you are, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk , Poor, I don’t have warm clothes like me, hey..."
"Although I want you to try it, after all, it was given to me by the princess. If I give it to others casually, it would be disrespectful to the princess..."
"Look at your frozen hands. You might get frostbite. That thing is really uncomfortable."
"My boots are made of fur and are not very warm. Did you see that the prince's boots are the same as mine?"
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would wear the same clothes as our prince, really..."
Before Dese finished speaking, several people covered his mouth and carried him away.
Xiao Shisan gave his brother a reassuring gesture. This boy, hahaha, even took off his pants for him in a while, which made him feel proud and proud.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his mood suddenly became happy, and he whistled. But in my mind, I had to think about finding an opportunity to go to Xuancheng to let the princess know that they were working much harder at the border than Xiao Wu.
Xiao Han returned to his tent and did not rest. Instead, he wrote several letters and sent them out overnight.
"Xiao Yi."
"My subordinate is here."
"Let me find some craftsmen who know alchemy and send them to the princess."
"An alchemist?"
"Yes, it's best to be alone without any worries."
"······yes."
Although Xiao Yi didn't know what the princess wanted these craftsmen for, the prince gave him a good opportunity to show his face in front of the princess. Hehe, he also wanted fur clothes and fur boots!
