The Tatars invaded and Suzhou was in crisis.

If it were in the past, Gu Qiao would have felt that it was very far away when he heard about the war in the Western Region and that the Tatars would be really annoying, and he would have to make such a fuss every year.

But now, after living in Suzhou for three years, her whole heart is getting agitated.

Because she was able to realize more clearly that the death numbers in the battle report were no longer numbers, but vivid faces and living lives!

And the place that was burned by the war was the place where she once devoted her efforts and worked hard to build it.

There are increasingly dense oasis, the sweetest honey melon, the clearest spring, the strongest sun, the most beautiful snow-capped mountains, the bravest guy and the most beautiful girl!

That was the land she once loved!

And now, the most cruel battle is taking place on that land, and the people there are suffering the coldest winter!

The military newspapers were delivered to the imperial capital in a hurry through the post station for 800 miles.

At the same time, Chen Zhao's time to enter the palace became longer and longer.

The Imperial Capital City was also in heavy snow and became quieter.

It was a kind of depressing silence, and everyone kept silent, worrying about the Northwest Army in the distance.

Orders were issued in the imperial capital, including food and grass transportation, military supplies mobilized, and medical supplies transportation...

All of this silently declares the brilliance of this war.

When Kong Wei died in battle and the news of the secret funeral reached the Golden Palace, this cruelty reached its extreme.

The new Tatar Khan, like an unmoving wolf, led his subjects to the lush hunting ground, finally showed his sharp fangs to the fat lamb and accurately bit the lamb's hind legs.

The Daxi Dynasty was the fat lamb.

Kong Wei was killed in battle, and there were no leaders in the group. Now it is the deputy generals around Kong Wei who are dispatching troops.

Once the news of Kong Wei's death spread, let alone the Tatars would attack wildly, and even the Northwest Army would probably suffer morale.

At this time, it is particularly important to immediately select a person to take over the position of commander General Kong Wei.

Chen Zhao and Gu Ling are undoubtedly the best candidates.

Finally, Gu Rui ordered Chen Zhao and asked him to lead 50,000 Shen family troops to support him.

To a certain extent, Chen Zhao is indeed more suitable than Gu Ling.

When the King of Yan was planning a rebellion, Chen Zhao immediately recruited the Shen family army, and the military strategy he showed later also attracted everyone's attention.

Moreover, he is Duke Ding, so he puts the golden signboard of Duke Ding's Mansion into the army, which means the military spirit and the morale that will not fall!

He is far better than Gu Lingliang in this regard.

Only when he comes forward can he minimize the adverse impact of Kong Wei's death in battle, and even turn the soldiers into morale and become more heroic.

After the imperial edict was issued, Chen Zhao was about to lead his troops to set off the next day.

Before Chen Zhao could go to court, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report the news.

When Gu Qiao and the others heard the news, the whole family was silent, a little surprised, but more were expected.

"I'll go and help Chen Zhao pack his luggage." Gu Qiao took a deep breath and quickly preached.

"I'll go and get a jacket for Zhao'er." Mei preached.

Chen Wan also raised her head and forced her tears back, and then said, "I sewed a few pairs of socks for my elder brother and took them all."

...

Soon, the family packed Chen Zhao's luggage.

At the same time, Gu Qiao also packed up his luggage.

"Qiao'er, you..." Mrs. Gu found that she had packed her luggage, and immediately guessed her plan.

"Grandma, mom, I want to go to Suzhou with Shen Zhao." Gu Qiao preached immediately.

"You are a woman, how can you... no, Suzhou is too dangerous, you can't go!" Mei's family has only such a daughter, how can they bear to bear it?

Gu Qiao knelt down.

"Mom, grandma, Qiao'er is unfilial. But Chen Zhao went to Suzhou alone, and it was cold and cold. He was afraid that he did not know the terrain and city distribution of Suzhou. I went there, and if I didn't ask for help, I would definitely not cause trouble. And if something happened, I could also call Shilizhuang's commercial network to help one or two." Gu Qiao took a deep breath, with tears hidden in his eyes, "I know I was unfilial, but... I really can't watch him take risks alone."

Mei couldn't bear it, so she turned her head to wipe her tears.

"What are you doing while kneeling and stand up and talk." Mrs. Gu hurriedly reached out to pull Gu Qiao.

"Grandma, let me go." Gu Qiao insisted on kneeling and not getting up.

Chen Wan couldn't see such a scene, and tears kept falling down.

Finally, Mrs. Gu sighed and said, "You want to go, I won't stop you."

"Mom!" Mei couldn't help but shout.

Even though she was separated from Gu Rui, she still called Gu Poziniang, because in her heart, this kind of family affection still exists even without Gu Rui.

Mrs. Gu shook her head and signaled her not to hurry. Then she took Gu Qiao's hand and said to her: "As long as Chen Zhao agrees to you, your mother and I will have no objection."

Hearing this, Gu Qiao was stunned.

Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, why did she forget that Zhaoer is there?

Zhao'er was so nervous, and without waiting for her to object, Zhao'er must be the first to object.

Sure enough, Gu Qiao was stunned when he heard this.

After a while, she nodded and replied, "I will convince Chen Zhao."

Mrs. Gu pulled her up, obviously disbelieving it, "Let's talk about it when you convince me."

At night, Chen Zhao finally came back.

The family was waiting for him to have a meal, and during the meal, the family was still laughing and cheering like before, but Chen Zhao found that his grandmother and godmother picked up food in their bowls more than usual.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the pile of bowls, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandma, mom, if this happens, I should be over."

"Eat more, and after going to the battlefield, I can't eat anything at home for a long time." Mrs. Gu smiled.

Chen Zhao knew that they all knew, and felt a little guilty, "I will go out to the gate of the yard in the future and can't take care of you at home."

"What do you say, your child? You go to Suzhou to protect us?" Mei said, and tears came out again.

"Okay, okay, eat, don't mention these at the dinner table." Gu Qiao quickly interrupted.

Mei also quickly held back her tears. It is said that crying before seeing off is bad. For a good omen, she must also hold back and not cry.

She immediately pointed to the sour soup fish in the middle of the table and said to everyone: "Okay, eat, this sour soup fish, finally chiseled the ice in the lake and made so many fish up. Come and try it. Xiaowan, this small piece of meat on the back of this fish has no thorns. Come and pick it for Zhenzhen."

"Thank you grandmother." Mei Zhenzhen immediately thanked sweetly.

"Zhenzhen is the most obedient."

The meal was finally finished in a warm atmosphere.

After dinner, Gu Pozi and Mei and the others pulled Chen Zhao and talked for a while.

However, Chen Zhao has worked so hard recently. Seeing the black green in his eyes, Mrs. Gu couldn't tell him for too long. In the end, everyone's advice to him was ended with a hug from Mei Zhenzhen.

Then, everyone left time to Gu Qiao and Shen Zhao.
