Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Xie Zhao went out to do errands at night, and when he returned to the border town, it was already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Madam, Mo Changchuan is in danger in a neighboring city. My husband is really helpless."

The great general Mo Changchuan who protects the country is really in trouble, and too many people want him dead.

Survived the assassination, escaped the fire, but ultimately could not escape poisoning.

Fortunately, Xie Zhao rushed over in time and invited a famous doctor, so Mo Changchuan saved his life.

Mo Changchuan was about to be raised, and the rest of the work was taken over by Xie Zhao. In the meantime, he received a secret edict from the emperor, which delayed him for a few days.

If nothing unexpected happens, the barbarians will try their best to attack the border town in the next few days.The emperor received news that at the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet on the 15th of the first lunar month, the Xuan family, headed by the Queen Mother Xuan, hijacked the emperor and ordered the princes to rebel.

The people sent by Xie Zhao are still on the way, so the capital side will definitely be delayed for a few days.

At the critical moment of life and death, the burden of both parties fell on Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao was exhausted after not closing his eyes for several days.

Seeing that her husband had lost weight, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly ordered Hongli: "Didn't we stew ginseng chicken soup in the morning? Use the soup stock to make a bowl of noodles for the master, and then bring over the cold sea cucumber and some appetizers."

It's cold, but you still have to eat something hot.

Whether in the north or in the capital, Xie Zhao is the core figure.

Xie Zhao is a golden rooster that lays golden eggs. In order to live a life of peace and prosperity in the future, Jiang Yuzhu must serve him well.

"Yuanhe, please rest for a while."

Jiang Yuzhu stood behind Xie Zhao, kneading several acupuncture points on Xie Zhao's head with both hands.

After finally returning to the house to be with his wife, Xie Zhao felt happy. He stared at a pot of yellow chrysanthemums on the table and asked, "How do you raise chrysanthemums, madam?"

In the winter in the north, there are only cold plums, and blooming chrysanthemums are hard to find.

The bright yellow color gives the room a sense of liveliness.

"My cousin said you like chrysanthemums, so I looked for them."

In the winter, Jiang Yuzhu searched the flower rooms of wealthy people and spent a lot of money to get a pot.

Seeing that Xie Zhao didn't look happy, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but asked: "Yuanhe, don't you like it?"

"like."

Okay, Chen Tao is plotting against him behind his back, so don't blame him for being rude!

The barbarian woman who had skin-to-skin contact with Chen Tao was a real person. She had gone from the barbarian tribe to the border town to look for someone.

Xie Zhao came to the door and said to his men waiting for instructions in the corner: "You know what to do, right?"

Only his wife is simple-minded and does not understand the deep meaning behind the chrysanthemum.

……

The days of the first month flew by very quickly, and in a flash it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As expected, two 10,000+ barbarians attacked the border town of Daqi with great force.

According to the previous plan, Daqi soldiers treated them passively and retreated step by step, from outside the city to inside the city, so that the barbarian army came to the city.

"The Daqi bitch has the ability to go out of the city to fight!"

"That Princess Yutan is not the rumored God of Death, she might as well be called the Soft-footed Shrimp!"

"Hahaha, that's it!"

Below the city gate, the barbarians have prepared ladders, trebuchets and iron tools to hit the city gate. There is only one step left to break the city.

Being scolded for their ancestors, the Daqi soldiers felt extremely humiliated and wished they could jump off the city wall to fight.

The soldiers didn't understand why they retreated without a fight even though they were well-equipped after using cloth armor.

For this reason, the Qi army was filled with chaos and dissatisfaction intensified.

Somewhere on the city wall, Princess Yutan stood on a high place, looking not far away.

Faced with the soldiers' resistance, it was unexpected and unexplainable.

"Yuanhe, how are the people in the city evacuating?"

It's too risky to lure the enemy deep. Princess Yutan has never played such a big game before.

Once it fails, it will be equivalent to giving the barbarians a city for nothing. According to the current situation, we don't even have a chance to take it back.

However, this is the case on the battlefield, where dangers and opportunities coexist.

If taking a risk can bring peace to the border town of Daqi for a hundred years or so, why not give it a try?

Xie Zhao glanced at Manzi's equipment with cold eyes and said slowly: "Within three days."

When the two countries went to war, the well-off families had already fled with their families, and the rest were ordinary people who had nowhere to go and did not want to be refugees.

Since the persuasion started years ago, there are still many people who have the mentality of living or dying with the border towns and cannot live without their roots.

It is difficult to force the people to leave, so they have to find a safe place in the mountains to relocate the people, which is a big project.

"Princess, the capital has also changed."

Just because Xuanjia and the mastermind behind the scenes couldn't afford to wait, the border town was more secure.

Princess Yutan seemed to have been injected with a cardiotonic drug and became more determined. She bit her lip and said: "Three days are all, I will hold on no matter what!"

The barbarians had already fired rockets into the city wall with all their strength, and the Qi army was in chaos.

"Come on, throw snowballs!"

It’s hard to find rocks in winter, but snow dumplings are everywhere.

Princess Yutan gave the order, and the soldiers immediately grabbed the snow dumplings and smashed them down.

Don't underestimate the snow dumplings. When they hit the ladder, the barbarian's feet slipped and a large number of people fell down.

The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, and the barbarians temporarily withdrew their troops, probably studying a strategy for forcibly attacking the city.

At the time of holding the lantern, it was windy and snowy.

10,000. The [-]+ barbarians are back, this time moving faster than before.

A trap was being laid to deal with the barbarians in the border town. Princess Yutan always kept her three-day promise and led the soldiers to continue to defend by throwing snowballs.

This time, it seemed particularly difficult.

At the same time, in the imperial palace in the capital, officials of fourth rank and above and their family members entered the palace for a banquet.

Jiang Fulu came with Chen. The couple looked natural and chatted with the officials and their wives respectively.

"Mr. Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are so generous and fat!"

Chief Wei stared at Jiang Fulu and said, "Did you eat delicacies from all over the world during the New Year?"

There is no point in being proud now. After tonight, Jiang Fulu will have a place to cry!
