Hard to be a good wife

Since the start of the war, the entire Southern Jin Dynasty has been running like clockwork, and all walks of life are in motion.

It is not just weapons and food that need to be prepared for war. A slight mistake in each link may lead to a disastrous defeat in the war. Once the battle is defeated, all the money and manpower spent will be wiped out, which is a fatal blow to the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Three days later, Duke Xia Kui of the State of Lu led an army of [-] to attack Chuzhou City. Chuzhou City is an important city on the north-south border. city.

The people of Yecheng stood guard at the gate of the city before dawn, looking at this mighty army, silently praying in their hearts for their triumphant return.

The seven princes of the Southern Jin Dynasty used to have military power in their hands. As they grew old and died, only the titles were inherited, and the military power was taken back by the King of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

In addition to the 3 Lu family army under his own control, Duke Lu's [-] troops also included the military power that the King of Southern Jin had taken back over the years, leaving some to strengthen the defense of Yecheng, and the rest was given to Duke Lu.

"I hereby wish all my loves a victory and come back, and I will be rewarded a lot at that time!" The King of Nanjin took the wine glass handed to him by the servant, and raised it to all the soldiers in the audience.

"The Southern Jin Dynasty must win!... The Southern Jin Dynasty must win!..." A deafening cry came out, which made the people's eyes fill with tears.

They believed that with such a lion in the Southern Jin Dynasty, they would be invincible!

Xia Kui drank a glass of wine and smashed the wine glass to the ground, the crisp sound was like a signal, and the sound of the drums echoed through the clouds, Xia Kui raised his sword to the sky, "Let's go!"

The team left Yecheng mightily. The King of Nanjin looked at the smoke and dust billowing away, and pondered for a long time with his hands behind his hands.

If he didn't leave, the rest of the ministers who came to see him off naturally couldn't leave either. Prince Zhao and Tang Yue stood at the front of the line, chatting with each other.

"Does Your Highness think they can win this battle?" Tang Yue had a bad impression of Duke Chong, and had a bad feeling when he learned that the King of Southern Jin appointed him as his commander.

Among the seven princes, Duke Anguo is the most powerful, he belongs to the queen's family, Duke Heng is next, and has won the trust of the king. It is also understandable that the military power is handed over to the Duke of Lu who does not deal with the Prince's Mansion.

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Winning or losing is not determined by the number of people, nor by equipment. The important thing is the leading general and the right time, place and people. So I can't say whether they can win, but as long as Xia Kui is not self-willed, he probably won't." Lost too badly."

Tang Yue heard some disapproval from Prince Zhao's words, obviously he was not optimistic about Lu Guogong.

"His Royal Highness sent a hundred dead soldiers last night, is the target the Southwest?"

Prince Zhao glanced at him, then nodded slightly, "I hope they can succeed, otherwise, if the Southwest and North Vietnam are in a pincer attack, the Duke of Lu will be defeated.

Seeing that the King of Southern Jin had already descended from the tower and was escorted back to the palace by the imperial guards, Prince Zhao also pulled Tang Yue into his own carriage, intending to return to the Prince's Mansion.

On the carriage, Tang Yue and Prince Zhao sat side by side, looking at the kneeling people on the street, and remembered a famous saying: Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

"Why did His Highness prevent me from sending those hundred nurses to the battlefield? Isn't it just for this day to train them?"

Prince Zhao held his hand, bowed his head and said nothing, he also had selfishness, just like the heavy cavalry and 5000 light cavalry in his hands, which had grown to 5000, and the many supplies in Tang Yue's hands, he didn't want to prematurely exposed.

These hundred nurses were formed in the name of learning from Tang Yue. Outsiders only thought that they were learning medical skills from Tang Yue, but they didn't know that they were prepared by Tang Yue for the war.

In addition to this, Tang Yue prepared a large amount of supplies over the years, ranging from food and medicinal materials to small cotton cloths. The amount of hoarding was so large that even the King of the Southern Jin Dynasty was jealous when he saw it.

If something like this is brought out now, it will undoubtedly become the focus of everyone. When the battle is not intensified, these things will only bring disaster to them.

"It's not that I don't want to send them out, but I have to pick the right time. These people and things are too sensitive, and if they are a little careless, they will be accused of deceiving the king.

Those private soldiers alone were enough to make the king of Southern Jin restless.

Tang Yue smiled wryly. He used to not strive for fame or gain, but now he feels that it is good to have power in his hands. If Prince Zhao is not a prince but a monarch, then they don't have to work so hard to hide.

Obviously doing good deeds, or spending your own money to do good deeds, why do you have to hide it in the end, for fear of being held accountable?

But think about it differently, if he is in the position of King of Southern Jin, and he knows that his son has built a strong army privately, he may also suspect him of rebellion.

In the final analysis, this is caused by a crisis of confidence.

Tang Yue didn't continue to mention this matter, why should he continue to do it, he is also a busy person, he has to spend part of the time every day educating the children, and also deal with the daily affairs of the Prince's Mansion, most of the rest of the time is either in the pharmacy or at the at the home of a patient.

"Mr. Lang, this year's harvest is very good. Several Zhuangzi have sent more grain than in previous years. Look, should we keep [-]% according to the old rules, or should we keep more?"

The food that Tang Yue hoarded was not only from Zhuangzi, which belonged to the Prince's Mansion, but also from commercial firms that brought it back bit by bit from various places. Each time, the quantity was not much, and it filled him bit by bit like a mouse moving house. A granary built in another courtyard.

"Has the war started?" Tang Yue said in a low voice, and raised his head to tell the housekeeper: "I won't stockpile this year's food, I will take half of it and smuggle it to the border to supply the people on the border, and I am not in a hurry to distribute it all. A safe place to hide in case of emergencies.”

Based on Tang Yue’s experience and lessons learned from previous TV movies, after the war begins, the war zone will easily fall into a food crisis. If the enemy accidentally blocks the traffic passages, or even besieged in the city, the food shortage will become a fatal factor. .

The butler understood his concerns, and secretly praised the princess's kindness. In the face of national crisis, how many noble children are still obsessed with cockfighting and running dogs, and how many noble children are still ignorant of doing nothing, but the princess has already made sufficient preparations for today.

This kind of conduct, this kind of ability, the housekeeper felt that no one in the world could match it.

"The old slave is going to discuss with His Highness about sending people to deliver food. I remember hearing His Highness mention that he had set up strongholds in several places when he was on the border. It would not be difficult to hide some food."

Tang Yue nodded, he should not care about such practical matters. He was able to accomplish these things in the past few years thanks to the capable people under Prince Zhao. For him, these talents are capable one by one. .

As long as he comes up with an idea, they can complete it perfectly or even beyond perfection. If he is allowed to do it himself, I'm afraid it can only stay on paper.

"It's almost winter, go ask the young master if the batch of cotton clothes I asked him to make before is ready, and if they are ready, let's send them to the border together."

"Here." The old housekeeper kept things in mind, and left briskly after listening to the order. The prince's mansion usually had few things to do, but once the prince went out, he had to prepare a lot.

Fortunately, now that the Crown Princess is here, he can turn this huge Prince's Mansion into His Royal Highness's strongest and strongest backing. I think that when His Highness went to war, I could do nothing but guard this mansion.

If His Highness hadn't been injured back then, the mistress of this mansion would probably be Princess Tangxi now. What role does that woman have besides being able to give birth?

Thinking about it this way, the housekeeper felt that it would not be so unbearable for His Royal Highness not to have his own blood.

If there is a loss, there must be a gain. If you can get a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

The days passed day by day in a tense atmosphere. The first news came from Songxi County, which is the closest to Yecheng. As soon as General Fu Heng arrived in Songxi County with 3000 people, he learned that the enemy had left by boat. The coast is wandering along the coast at this time, obviously wanting to wait for an opportunity to continue to make trouble.

Compared to the number of people, they are evenly matched. Compared to combat power, they have their own strengths and weaknesses. Compared to patience and perseverance, it is obvious that the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty on land are more durable.

Fu Heng was not in a hurry to repel the opponent, he remembered that his mission was to prevent the enemy from going ashore, as long as he could keep the opponent at sea forever, he would have completed the mission.

Together with several aides, Fu Heng mobilized the local government to build many watchtowers near the coast. As soon as he found an enemy ship, he would immediately light the peak smoke to report the news. They did not dare to go ashore and confront the Southern Jin soldiers head-on.

However, this also has a disadvantage. Sailing on the sea is not only a short journey, but also a fast speed. It often takes twice or even more time on land. In this way, the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty had to rush around the clock if they wanted to save Yao in time. .

After a period of time, the three thousand soldiers and horses were exhausted. Fortunately, the other party did not know that most of them had come, otherwise they could seize this loophole and launch a conspiracy to attack east and west.

"General, you should make up your mind as soon as possible. The soldiers are too tired to walk. I don't know how many pairs of shoes have been trampled. Half of them are bleeding from the soles of their feet. They won't last long." An aide said worriedly.

Fu Heng is a middle-aged general, and he is not very prominent among the generals. Presumably, the King of Southern Jin also thought that such a task was very simple, so he gave him a chance.

Fu Heng came here with full confidence. He thought it would be easy, but he ignored the actual situation, and in just one month, he polished off the ambitions of the soldiers.

If this continues, even if the other party dares to go ashore, none of them dare to pick up a sword to resist.

He frowned, "Go and write a letter to His Highness, only His Highness the Crown Prince can help this general in this court."

They absolutely did not dare to ask Datian to listen to the issue, otherwise all he had to do was to be dismissed from his post, and if he couldn't even do this little thing well, the King of Southern Jin would naturally change his general.

As for the other ministers, it would be good not to grab his pigtails with ulterior motives, and who would be willing to advise him?
