Chapter 302 If you don't remove the root of the problem, there will be trouble in the future

Song Yanxi still remembers the disdainful look on Zhuang Shihan's face when she spoke.

Just like what they said, Ben was not a living person like them, but a bunch of ants that could be easily crushed to death with just a lift of their feet.

So lowly that he is not even worthy of their glance.

On the night when the Yan family was wiped out, Zhuang Shihan had the same expression when she saw Lin Tingfeng returning to the general's mansion with a blood-stained shirt.

She was not afraid that they would suffer retribution for their excessive evil deeds.

She was not even afraid of the more than one hundred souls of the Yan family who died unjustly, who would not let her go even if they became ghosts.

The only thing he was worried about was that Lin Tingfeng would be soft-hearted and take the lives of the elderly, weak, women and children in the house.

She said, "If you don't remove the roots, there will be trouble in the future."

Hearing that the Yan family had no survivors, Zhuang Shihan sighed again and said hypocritically, "If they hadn't been so ignorant as to insist on being obsessed with a dead person and jump out to block our way, they wouldn't have ended up like this."

It's so hypocritical!

She had clearly been eyeing the Yan family's business from the very beginning. Even if her grandfather had swallowed his anger and never came to seek justice for her, she could not escape this deliberate frame-up.

Song Yanxi only regretted that she was just a wandering soul at that time, and that she could do nothing but watch.

Since that day, she never heard the name He Suowei from the couple again.

Just think about it and you will know what kind of situation is waiting for him.

His career, which should have been bright and promising, was ruined overnight. His sister, who depended on him for everything, committed suicide to protect him. She even died, and he was still accused of living in shame after the truth was revealed.

For him, living is far worse than death.

In her previous life, He Chunhua died in late summer. Within half a year after her death, no trace of epidemic was found in Da'an.

It was their arrival that indirectly pushed all this forward and caused her to die early.

If He Chunhua is doomed to die, does that mean that the fate of others will be the same, and they will all die an untimely death?

No, she won't allow it!

She finally had a chance to start over again, to make up for the big mistake she made in her previous life due to her poor judgment of people. How could she be willing to end up with nothing?

No matter what, she couldn't bear to watch her family and friends being slaughtered again.

And His Royal Highness Prince Jin...

He had been in the army for ten years, enduring hardships to protect the country of Da'an. He was a rare genius and a good general, and he should not have ended up in such a miserable way.

Damn it, it was fate. If it really couldn't be changed, she wouldn't be standing here at this moment.

"Girl?"

Hearing a familiar call, Song Yanxi looked up and met the worried eyes of Doctor Liu.

Seeing her come back to her senses, Doctor Liu hurriedly asked, "Do you feel any discomfort? Are you too tired?"

Song Yanxi shook her head, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Doctor Liu could tell she was hiding something, but he didn't press the issue. He simply sighed and said, "Things in the world are unpredictable and beyond human control. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Hearing this, Song Yanxi lowered her eyes, a dark light flashing in her eyes.

Do the best you can.

Leave it to fate? No need to.

She has the final say in her own life.

Doctor Liu looked at her, and after careful consideration, he asked, "Did Changjiu tell you about the medicine?"

As he spoke, annoyance filled his slightly cloudy eyes, "This matter is my fault. I thought a little kid running around was just having fun, but I didn't expect him to be so bold and have some connection with Zhuang Shihan.

But don't worry, the credit belongs to you, and I won't let anyone take it away even if it costs me my life."

Song Yanxi didn't respond, but only asked, "How is Mr. Liu?"

"Him?" Military Doctor Liu was filled with rage at the thought of Old Liu. He was furious at his lack of resistance and said, "He's spoiled his grandson to this extent. He deserves it. There's no need for you to sympathize with him."

"Not sympathy."

"It's not sympathy, it's..."

Doctor Liu stopped talking midway through his words.

Meeting Song Yanxi's cold eyes, he suddenly remembered something and stomped his feet, saying, "It's broken!"

He hurriedly turned around and walked out, cursing as he walked: "That old bastard, he'd better die far away and not dirty my place, otherwise..."

Listening to the voice of Doctor Liu gradually fading away, Song Yanxi took out the topographic map that An Yi had given her earlier and looked at it carefully, circling the locations of the two armies on it with charcoal.

She was not familiar with military tactics, but it was not difficult for her to see that according to the map, Liang State had a better terrain.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is no shortage of food and water, and there is also the Beifengpo slope, which is high and suitable for ambushes. Both the terrain and the view are excellent.

On the other hand, the land in Da'an is flat and gentle, so the other side can see clearly what the soldiers here are doing.

Song Yanxi had felt it strange before, and had specifically asked Mo Jinchuan on the way here, only to find out that when he was the garrison commander, the area extending for eighty miles outside the border town was planted entirely with grain.

The border town of Hongsha is too close to the water, and most of the crops grown by the people are drowned by the floodwaters in the river during flood season.

Apart from the taxes collected by the imperial court, the little food left was barely enough to fill their stomachs. Even the local officials were extremely poor and could not afford to spend any money to build dams to prevent floods.

The silver and money allocated by the imperial court were exploited through layers of exploitation, and the amount actually received was pitifully small.

Even if we reduce the materials and barely repair the dam, it will be washed away again within two years.

Mo Jinchuan acted decisively and personally led people to several nearby towns to purchase a large amount of seeds in preparation for the next season's sowing.

For this, he, who was still a young general at the time, almost got beaten with a military stick by Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao asked him, "There's only so much land, how many seeds can be planted?

Even if we can plant all of it, how much food will be left when a flood comes?"

Facing the furious Xu Xiao, Mo Jinchuan only said one sentence.

"If there's not enough space, then go grab it."

He signed a military order and took the men assigned to him by Xu Xiao, dividing them into several groups to attack the Liang State's camp at any time of day or night. They only feinted the attack but did not fight, which made the other side angry and they turned around and ran away.

At the same time, he also dealt with a few Liang soldiers who couldn't help but chase after him.

I enjoy doing this back and forth.

In just half a month, the Liang army lost more than 300 people. Ke Shan, who was far away in the capital of Liang, was so angry that he wrote three letters in one day to scold the An people for being too insidious and cunning.

As a result, that night, Mo Jinchuan led his men to raid the Liang army's base and burned all their food and supplies.

The Liang army had been harassed by them for several days and had not had a full night's sleep in half a month. They were no match for the An army at all.

Not only was the camp of 30,000 people overturned by 3,000 people, but they also suffered heavy casualties and retreated hundreds of miles overnight to avoid the attack.

By the time Ke Shan brought his men to the rescue, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

According to An Yi, when Mo Jinchuan was leading his soldiers to do spring plowing, Ke Shan was riding a horse and watching from afar with his men, and when he got angry he would curse at them.

Just one season of good harvest can ensure that the people of the two cities will not go hungry for a year.

Correspondingly, the price to be paid was that the border troops led by Mo Jinchuan had to deal with the sudden attacks of the Liang cavalry from time to time.

The people of Liang were not good at farming, but there were many common people in the country, so they naturally coveted this piece of fat meat that should have belonged to them.

The border troops had struggled to defend the border over the past few years, but it was destroyed by Lin Tingfeng.

As General Da'an, he was only concerned with taking credit for himself and did not care about the safety of the border town at all.

If An Guo is not restored, what good will it do him even if he is a first-rank official?

What exactly does Lin Tingfeng want to do?
