Cheng Yaojin couldn't persuade my mother, so he had to leave her in Jingzhou.
With the care of my fellow villagers, who also found a job for my mother, such as cooking and washing vegetables, I never had a problem with food and clothing.
He reluctantly put his mind at ease and ran back at night, only to run into the Xiongnu cavalry...
…
Bingzhou.
Yan Batian is holding an emergency military meeting with his generals to adjust the defense line deployment.
But Zhao Huaizhen walked in with a serious look on his face and whispered in his ear.
"Your Highness, the outposts on the front lines of Huizhou have reported that no trace of the Huns has been found."
Um?
Yan Batian was stunned.
The red smoke signals of urgency were lit in Huizhou, yet the frontline outposts couldn't even see any trace of the Huns?
Is this reasonable?
If Zhao Huaizhen came to report that all the soldiers at these outposts had died, that would be a bit of a mystery.
Yan Batian frowned and asked, "Are these sentinel points okay?"
"No problem." Zhao Huaizhen was also confused. "We sent spies to check, but they found no signs of a fight."
"The sentry posts are all our own people, and they can match the secret signals."
Yan Batian muttered, "Send out all the spies! If the Xiongnu have already reached Huizhou City, it's impossible not to find any trace of them!"
"Even if I have to run myself to pieces and search all over Bingzhou, I must find the traces of the Xiongnu!"
Yan Batian stood up suddenly, looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Bingzhou is the first line of defense of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the strongest one."
"If we let the Xiongnu break through so easily, how will the people of the Great Zhou view us?"
"As long as I remain in Bingzhou, the Xiongnu will have no choice but to walk across my corpse!"
Zhao Huaizhen and the other generals responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! We will defend Bingzhou to the death and resist the Xiongnu!"
Yan Batian picked up the token and began to deploy and mobilize the army.
Something was fishy, but he believed Dong Xuan.
If the Huns really found a way to bypass the defense line they had set up without anyone noticing and directly penetrated into the Great Zhou, the consequences would be unimaginable!
There is no military intelligence in Youzhou and Bingzhou, given the loose organization of the vassal kings.
I guess everyone is staying at home to spend the winter.
The appearance of the Huns will probably make them all stupid!
Later on...
Yan Batian no longer dared to think about it.
I can only hope that I am overthinking it, and that the Huns who came in were just a few remnants of the army, who did not have the courage to use such a large-scale surprise attack tactic in the snow and ice.
