In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

Feng Shiyan looked at the general's wife: "General Li is your husband after all, and you have two children. How could you have the heart to do that to him?"

"Oh, a crude warrior—"

With a "slap", Feng Shiyan slapped her in the face. "Yang Si, cover her mouth, drag her out and expose her to the sun in the yard. When General Li wakes up, release her. Her life or death will be decided by General Li."

Feng Shiyan had thought about whether this was General Li's self-torture trick.

He pretended to be injured and passed out from poisoning.

This will make it easier for Lan County to fall quickly.

But General Li is my father's confidant and has followed my father in battles. He is a reliable person, which is why my father entrusted him with the important task of guarding Lan County, an important border county.

Since he is his father's confidant, he shouldn't doubt him.

As the saying goes, don't use people who are suspicious of you.

He Qiudi sighed beside him.

No wonder.

In He Qingya's past and present life, Lan County was conquered so quickly, and it turned out that the general's wife, who had been guarding the county for more than ten years, was a dish.

Who would have thought of this.

It no longer makes much sense to think about He Qingya’s past and present life, or whether the general’s wife took action.

It depends on whether the news that General Li was assassinated, poisoned and in a coma has been passed on.

Feng Shiyan consulted the old military doctor and confirmed that General Li was not seriously injured for the time being. Then he took Yang Si and the others away. He planned to send He Qiudi and He Huaibi back to the Feng family.

As soon as they walked out of the general's mansion, they met Yang Yi and his men who came to look for them.

Yang Yida said, "Sir, someone just set off fireworks in the south of the city. When we arrived, the person had already committed suicide by taking poison. It was hard to tell whether he was from the Great Zhou or a spy from the Western Rong."

Feng Shiyan nodded: "It's a signal. The news that General Li was assassinated and poisoned and fell into a coma finally got out. They are working together with the Xirong people. It doesn't matter whether they are sure of their identities. Notify them again, the whole city is under martial law, beware of the Xirong night attack..."

"If the Western Rong do not attack at night, arrange for people to leave the city early tomorrow morning to evacuate the people. Send the old, weak, women and children to Ningyuan County, and leave only one male over the age of 14 in each household. The remaining males will all be brought to Lan County. The people who are evacuated to Ningyuan County can receive disaster relief food and five taels of silver based on their household registration. If you encounter any suspicious persons, immediately control them. If they do not cooperate, they should be executed immediately to serve as a warning to others. And..."

"Send scouts to find out the enemy's whereabouts. If the enemy's number exceeds 100,000, then...order them to clear the land and fortify their walls."

Hearing the words "fortify the walls and clear the fields", He Qiudi was stunned.

It is reasonable to transfer the old and weak and bring the young and strong to Lan County to participate in the defense.

Killing suspicious persons and those who do not cooperate is an extraordinary measure to be used in extraordinary times.

But he said to fortify the city and clear the fields.

This is a relatively cruel tactic in combat.

When protecting the people during their evacuation, they took away all the food and valuables they could, and destroyed everything they could not, including houses and trees, and even poisoned the wells.

Is he planning to fight a protracted war with the Xirong people and wear down their logistical supplies?

Just at this moment, Chen Rongjing came over from the city gate.

Hearing Feng Shiyan's words, he said, "Sir, isn't it too early to fortify the city and clear the countryside? Can the Western Rong people still gather an army of 100,000?"

Feng Shiyan waved his hand.

"The terrain of Changning County and Jinshan County is complex and suitable for Tibetans. Since the end of the previous dynasty a hundred years ago, the weather in Xirong has been good, and the grass has grown well, so they have been able to rest and recuperate, and the population has doubled to millions. This time, Xirong is suffering from a severe drought, and all young and strong men can be mobilized as soldiers. It is not difficult for them to gather an army of 500,000. We must be prepared for the worst."

"Your Excellency is wise, and I am the one who is naive."

Feng Shiyan smiled and said nothing more.

More than a month ago, after the rain in Lizhou, Xirong had already arranged for people to cross Huangquan Pass.

Their people at Huangquan Pass noticed that there were no less than 50,000 people passing through the pass.

The actual number will be even higher.

Yongning Prefecture only increased its troops by 40,000, and only 3,000 soldiers and horses were allocated to Lan County.

The total number of soldiers and civilians in Lan County was just over 30,000.

The Xirong people's target was not only Yongning Prefecture and Yuhu Prefecture, but also him.

The large army would naturally besiege Lan County.

He cannot retreat and abandon the people of Lan County.

He could not escape without fighting and retreat to Yongning County.

We must fight.

Then let’s fight.

After Yang Yi and the others arrived, Feng Shiyan asked Yang Ba and Yang Jiu to send He Qiudi and He Huaibi back to the Feng family, while he took his men to guard the west gate.

At the same time, Yang Si was arranged to leave the city and go to Ningyuan County to deliver the message.

We must protect Ningyuan County, especially the morale of the military and the people.

After returning to the Feng family, He Qiudi was not sure whether the Western Rong people would attack at night, so he went to bed early.

Only by getting enough sleep can we have the energy to deal with the invasion of the Western Rong.

He Qingya in the other room couldn't fall asleep.

Only after escaping from Chunfeng Garden and being rescued did she have time to slowly think about the differences between her past and present lives.

Since she was able to be reborn, it seems that my aunt was also reborn?

If it weren't for rebirth, the current situation could not be explained at all.

Is she going to reveal the fact that she has been reborn and let Feng Shiyan leave Lan County first?

In the previous life, Lan County was lost, Yongning County fell, and Licheng was broken. The Western Rong army marched straight in and reached Kuncheng, where they were resisted by the garrisoning general. Until Feng Shiyan arrived with the imperial army, he drove away the Western Rong and recaptured the city of Yongning Prefecture that was occupied by the Western Rong.

But by then, it was already winter.

The Western Rong people were short of supplies, so they invaded the Great Zhou with the intention of stealing food. It would be even better if they could win the war and seize Yongning Prefecture or even Yuhu Prefecture from the Great Zhou. If they couldn't, they would return before the cold winter.

But the situation is different now.

It was the time when the Western Rong people were strong in both men and horses. They were determined to capture Ningyuan County and break into the territory of Da Zhou to plunder. If Feng Shiyan stayed here, he might not be able to defend Lan County.

In his previous life, he was the God of War.

But the first time he went to the battlefield, he followed the general who was leading the troops at that time.

Thanks to the guidance of the general who guards the country, he was able to establish military merits and stand out in that battle with the best timing, location and people.

Only with this experience can you become the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But now.

The garrison general of Lan County was assassinated.

Lan County was an insignificant border county, and this general was the best fighter. Once he fell, Feng Shiyan was left without anyone to guide and assist him.

Feng Shiyan is still a new general with no experience in leading troops. Facing the powerful Western Rong people, can he really win?

He Qingya hesitated whether to go find Yan Shi and tell him the news that the Xirong people were coming and ask him to return to Ningyuan County first.

At least in Ningyuan, you can attack or defend.

His status is extremely noble. Yongning Prefecture and Yuhu Prefecture are the fiefs of the Crown Prince. It can be said that the generals and officials here all follow Feng Shiyan's lead. If he guards Ningyuan County, no one will blame him.

If she can make a contribution in this battle, her life in the future will be easier.
