In a camp tent, Feng Xuan was lying on the couch, and the doctor was helping him change the medicine. When the Zhenyang was defeated, Feng Xuan was almost killed by Zhou soldiers who pretended to be a god and touch the camp. It was thanks to his subordinates' efforts to protect him, so he saved his life.

Lady Xian, who had just finished the military discussion, sat aside and watched the doctor help her grandson change her clothes. Seeing the shocking wounds on Feng Xuan's body, there was no discomfort.

Just now, she said in the tent that "I have seen countless storms." This is not just a joke. Lady Xian and the Feng family have been through ups and downs for decades. I have never seen any scenes, but the current situation is indeed different from the past.

The Northern Army actually invaded Lingnan!

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, Lingnan has been under the jurisdiction of the Jiankang court, which is the so-called Southern Dynasties. The Northern Dynasties army has never entered Lingnan. This is not a prefecture in Huainan. The cavalry of the Northern Army can raid directly from the Yellow River to the border of the Yangtze River. It is not that easy to drive straight into Lingnan unless you take the sea route.

The appearance of the Northern Army in Lingnan means that the situation in the Central Plains is about to change drastically. The distance between Jiangzhou Prefecture and Shixing from the southern foot of Dayu Ling is over 1,200 miles. Since the Zhou court has the ability to send troops to cross Dayu Ling, it means that this large-scale southern offensive was decided to destroy the Chen State.

Jiankang, located near the south bank of the Yangtze River, may not be able to protect itself. Of course, this is not the first time that the Northern Army has arrived at Jiankang City, but this is not thirty years ago. Chen Baxian, the Xijiang Protector of Lingnan, has long been gone.

The situation of Jiankang is now, the Grand Governor Wang Meng is vague, and Mrs. Xian did not ask. After all, after the fall of Jiangzhou, the reliable connection between Lingnan and Jiankang can only be carried out by sea. One round trip must be calculated by month. Even if you receive the news now, it was at least half a month ago.

As for reinforcements, there may not be any more.

This is different from the wars that have been around in Lingnan for decades. The wars that Mrs. Xian has experienced were all the local governors in Lingnan who were ambitious and tried to fight against the separatist and independent court of Jiankang. The official army soon arrived to suppress the rebellion, and the flames were extinguished before they spread.

At that time, Li Shiqian, the governor of Gaozhou of Liang State and Ouyang He, the governor of Guangzhou of Chen State, were all resisted by her soldiers and defeated the rebels together with the official troops who came to suppress the rebellion. But now, the official troops are afraid that they will not be able to come. Can the soldiers and soldiers she organized alone block the Zhou army like wolves and tigers?

But no matter what, she would come out to take charge of the overall situation to protect the country and the people of Lingnan should be protected from the poison of war as much as possible.

"Grandma." Feng Xuan was about to get up after changing the medicine, but was stopped by Mrs. Xian and asked him to lie on the couch and talk.

"Erlang, what do you think of Zhou Jun's strength?"

"Grandmother, the Zhou army is coming in full force. This time, in Zhenyang, tens of thousands of sky lanterns were used to set fire. This is amazing."

After hearing what my grandson said, Mrs. Xian asked Feng Ang beside her: "Sanlang, what do you think?"

Feng Ann knew that his grandmother was examining him, so he thought carefully for a moment and replied: "The Zhou army is prepared and will not give up until Lingnan is taken."

"How can I see it?"

"The grandson lets go of the sky lantern, but it's nothing. As long as there is paper and bamboo strips, you can make a sky lantern. The key is the quantity." Feng Ang said slowly, "Making sky lanterns requires paper, and making a lot of sky lanterns requires a lot of paper. There is no big paper shop in Lingnan, so Zhou Jun cannot recruit on the spot."

"The only possibility is that they brought so much paper when they marched, and the price of paper is not cheap. They made tens of thousands of sky lanterns, and they spent not paper, but money. The other party's huge investment shows that they have been planning for a long time."

"In order to break through Zhenyang, he did not hesitate to invest such great financial resources, so his grandson said that the Zhou army came prepared and would not give up until Lingnan."

"What else?"

Mrs. Xian continued to take the grandson test. Feng Ang thought for a while and was not sure what to say. Feng Xuan answered: "The Zhou army went south and was unstoppable. After taking Guangzhou, I am afraid... I am afraid in their eyes, we are the coach of Lingnan, and the cave owner is just a native chicken and a tile dog."

"They came with the power of war, and they would definitely not regard the people of Lingnan as human beings, take them away, suck blood and skin them, and treat them as slaves. At that time, everyone's life will be sad."

Mrs. Xian was very satisfied with Feng Xuan's vision, and it was not in vain that she had been doing her best to teach her. She looked at Feng Ang who was thinking and said:

"Erlang is right. The Jiankang court has been in Lingnan for hundreds of years. No matter what he has been born or how many emperors he has changed, he can at least live in harmony with the Lingnan leaders most of the time. Now, if he has changed to the arrogant northern court, he will take over the remaining power of unifying the Central Plains, and he will probably only think about enslaving the people of Lingnan."

"We surrender, no matter how much we can get a job, but the new local officials may have to suck bones and marrow in Lingnan, plunder various rare treasures, and send them back to the capital to please the emperor and powerful ministers. Do you think the people will be the people who will be unlucky at that time?"

"At that time, the Liang Dynasty court was short of money, food and slaves. It was sent to Lingnan to recruit pledge and worship, and summoned various tribes to lead Gao to attend the meeting and set up ambush and kill. Your great-grandfather and uncle were brutally killed at that time!!"

"Based on its strong military strength, the Liang army attacked and plundered Liren villages everywhere, robbed them all, burned them all, and grabbed them all!"

"How many people became slaves, how many families were destroyed, I hid in the mountains and ridges with the green and strong, built a fortress and dealt with the Liang army. After hundreds of wars of all sizes and sizes, I kept raiding the Liang army's food route. I don't know how many people died, so that the Liang army retreated and sent envoys to seek peace."

"Do you think the reason why the Jiankang court negotiated with the Lingnan leaders was that it was kind-hearted? No, it was because our Lingnan people could be self-reliant! If people were not self-reliant, they could not save them. If they were not, they would be the same now!"

"Don't just think about surrendering and protecting the family business, so that nothing can be saved. Before I married your grandfather, I would build fortresses in dangerous places with my brothers to let the Jiankang court retreat in the face of difficulties, calm them down and be willing to speak well. This is why we have the current situation."

"What's the matter now? Another court has come. They won consecutive victories and did not take the Lingnan leaders seriously. Once they take Guangzhou, what follows will be the tragedy of that year!"

"At that time, it will not only be the people but also the leaders of various places. There is a saying in the Central Plains that is called 'How can there be eggs under the collapse of the nest'. Therefore, we cannot surrender just because the enemy is powerful."

"If we can't beat it on the flat ground, we will burn the village, move people, grain and animals to the mountains, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, so that the Zhou army will not be able to catch a civilian or grab a grain of food in Lingnan, guard several lonely cities, and be harassed by us every day!"

"Just spend it like this, until they can't hold on!"

Feng Xuan and Feng Ang nodded constantly. The grandmother was over 60 years old, but she spoke very enthusiastically and the truth was easy to understand. The two men who were afraid of the Zhou army were now firmly determined.

Mrs. Xian talked so much to her two grandsons, one was to teach the younger generation and the other was to remind herself that she should never let a bloodthirsty beast enter Lingnan for whatever she wanted just because she regretted the casualties of her soldiers.

"Do you know what is the name of Zhou Jun commander Yu Wen Wen?"

"The grandson doesn't know."

"Erlang, have you been to Jiangzhou and heard of the story of the one-legged bronze man?"

After hearing the grandmother's question, Feng Xuan thought about it for a while and was moved to the point of being terrified: "Could it be this Yuwen Wen..."

The northwest bank of Jiangzhou is the boundary of Zhou State. The people of Jiangzhou hate the "one-legged bronze man" of Zhou State that harmed them, and compiled many stories to entertain. This story spread to all places with the business trips from south to north. Feng Xuan passed through Jiangzhou to Jiankang several times, and inevitably heard related rumors.

"That's right! I heard from the Governor Wang that this person was the general manager of Huangzhou of Zhou State. The so-called general manager is the general manager of Chen State. He has caused great harm to the people of Jiangzhou, so he was named a one-legged bronze man."
