The family was amused by Gu Ren's serious expression.
Seeing everyone laughing, Xiaomingyue also started laughing. Gu Xiaoqi, who was already one year old, clapped her hands and laughed. Gu Xiaoba, who was nine months old, also laughed when she saw everyone laughing.
The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, which eased the anxiety that had just been building since learning that Izumo had deployed its troops.
After dinner, Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu also brought Gu Yingxue over.
Gu Qingyuan chatted with Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, Peng Yizhu chatted with the other wives, and Gu Yingxue played with her sisters.
The family of three also mentioned the matter of sending troops from Izumo. Kuncheng has enough troops, so there's no need to worry.
Lu Zheng and Peng Sanlang are working well together on the front lines. This time they want to pull off a big heist, so they are requesting reinforcements.
Before, we had no legitimate reason to fight. Now that Izumo has taken the initiative to provoke us, let's have a good fight!
Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu reassured everyone not to panic, as Kuncheng would send manpower there, and the troops previously stationed in Linzhou Prefecture would also be dispatched.
The current situation is that as long as the Sand God Kingdom doesn't help, this battle will be easy. But if the Sand God Kingdom does help, it won't be so easy. In that case, the losses to the Great Zhou will not be significant, and at most, they will have to retreat to their defensive lines.
Grandma Gu felt that there was a high chance that the Sand God Kingdom would help, after all, Yan Mo had ambitiously contacted all the small countries around the Great Zhou, and only Kun City had not been conquered.
However, given the current troop strength of Kuncheng, taking it down will not be an easy task.
...
Although she wasn't as worried anymore, Gu Xin still asked Bai Er to send someone to Lu Zheng's place to check on his condition in person, and also sent a large basket of pills.
The pills she made herself contained jade beads, making them much more effective than those made by other doctors.
Gu Xin was truly generous to the soldiers who defended their country, giving them all of her savings.
Gu Xin originally thought that Peng's army at Shennv Mountain was just putting on a show with Queen Dugu, but she always felt that Yan Mo's actions would definitely lead to a fight. So, she also gave some to Madam Peng and asked her to send it to Shennv Mountain.
In the following days, whenever Gu Xin had free time, she would start making pills in case of emergency.
Sure enough, on the fifth day of the fourth month, fighting broke out at Shennv Mountain. The Tenth Princess raised the banner of rebellion, using the excuse that Queen Dugu wanted to befriend the Great Zhou and change the original rule of Shennv Kingdom, and gathered the troops of several major families and more than a dozen cities in Shennv Kingdom.
Izumo and the Goddess Kingdom simultaneously launched military campaigns, while Jinan, Langge, and the Sand God Kingdom were also poised to make their move.
Recently, there have been fewer people on the streets of Kuncheng, and people from other countries have stopped coming over.
On this day, General Peng brought Gu Qingyuan with him in person.
General Peng looked at Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu: "Brother and sister, the war is tense right now. I have a request, and I hope you can support me!"
The elderly couple looked at General Peng.
General Peng took a deep breath and said, "Qingyuan can take office after the Dragon Boat Festival. I want to send him to the Sand God Kingdom to stabilize it first. As for the Jin Nan Kingdom, you may need to talk to Prince Kang and ask him to go there in person. My fourth son must be stationed in Kun City. Among the surrounding countries, the most dangerous one, Langge Kingdom, needs to be guarded. What do you think?"
Grandpa Gu: "You mean you want Prince Kang to be sent as an envoy to the Jin Nan Kingdom?"
General Peng nodded.
