Chapter 157 Northern Barbarians Raid



Sister Xiangyue.

Liu Yan had a bitter smile on her face. She was a maid, so naturally she didn't know what to do.

If Wu Xiangyue meets him, she can either go in or just walk away.

But she still has to prepare dinner for the whole family.

Wu Xiangyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she grabbed Liu Yan's wrist.

"I know that my husband hasn't been to your room for a long time. I'll take care of this matter for you."

"Tonight, just tonight, he must sleep in your room."

Liu Yan's face turned even redder.

"Sister Xiangyue, that's not what I meant."

"Why are you shy? We are all women. I understand your little thoughts."

Then he leaned close to Liu Yan's ear and said, "Don't forget, your husband will make you go to heaven in one go."

Liu Yan lowered her head and didn't dare to look up. At this moment, she was so shy that she didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Wu Xiangyue expressed her opinion again.

Patting his chest, he showed the heroism of a man of the world.

Liu Yan was very shy, her face flushed red, she didn't know what to say and was anxious and helpless.

I stood there, twisting the corner of my clothes, not knowing what to do.

The fight between Liu Feng and Mu Wanqing lasted for a long time, and Mu Wanqing didn't even get out of bed to finish her meal.

After Mu Wanqing came back, she brought the meal to her sister's bedside.

That night, Wu Xiangyue and the other two drove Liu Feng to Liu Yan's room.

In the middle of the night, Liu Feng held Liu Yan's cold body in his arms, looked at the charcoal fire that was about to go out, and made a quick decision to move Liu Yan to the main room of the new house to sleep.

It’s such cold weather, and it’s the critical time of the year. It would be troublesome if you get frozen.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Feng decided to adopt Mu Wanqing's suggestion.

She announced the decision to give everyone three days off before the New Year.

It was even decided to hold a grand banquet at the end of the year, and the entire Xinhedu, regardless of gender, age or status, would celebrate together.

After receiving this news, everyone was naturally happy.

Next comes the preparations for the New Year’s Eve banquet.

Although it's a holiday, we just don't have to work, but many things about the banquet still need everyone to work together to take care of them.

Fortunately, many bandit dens were captured during this period, and Wang Dian and his hunting team also harvested a lot of prey.

Dozens of wild boars, deer and other prey, plus all kinds of rice and flour.

During these three days, more than 2,000 people, men, women, young and old, in Xinhedu ate to their heart's content.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Feng waited in the training ground, listened to the reports from the leaders of various groups, and gave them different silver and money rewards based on their achievements in the past few months.

Zhang Tiechui was the most hardworking. With the help of his wife Ruhua, he worked day and night and finally made the unparalleled armor before New Year's Eve.

The unparalleled armor presented by Zhang Tiechui became the finale treasure of New Year's Eve.

In the snow and wind.

Liu Feng gave out a total of more than 200 taels of silver as rewards. The villagers of Liangcun, even the people in the water fort, and the wild people who surrendered, all gathered on both sides of the Xinqiang River to celebrate the New Year together.

But in such a peaceful atmosphere.

As dusk was about to fall, a man and a horse arrived at Siwa Village in the wind and snow.

"Master Liu..."

"Master Liu..."

"Emergency report from Fengling Army."

The man followed the brightest lights to the place where he came. After getting off his horse, he was extremely flustered and crawled to Liu Feng.

"Liu... Lord Liu... The Northern Barbarians took advantage of the army's New Year holiday to launch a surprise attack."

"What?"

Liu Feng immediately put down the wine glass in his hand.

"What? The Northern Barbarians are attacking Tianyong City?"

Linghu Chongshan and Linghu Yuanshan stood up immediately.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was like falling into an icy cave, and no one dared to breathe.

Everyone knows that once Tianyong City falls, the Northern Barbarian Cavalry will march straight in and the entire Youzhou will be engulfed in war in an instant.

"The Northern Barbarians' 20,000-strong army surrounded the city, but did not launch an attack."

"They even sent out multiple troops to attack everywhere."

"Kill anyone you see."

"What a beast."

Liu Feng cursed angrily and immediately opened the handwritten letter from Linghu Xiaoshan.

"Tianyong City is under siege. The Northern Barbarians have split their forces and penetrated the weak points of the defenders, burning, killing, and looting. Please send troops to protect the civilians."

"Also, you destroyed most of the camps that the Northern Barbarians had set up in Youzhou, leaving them without any internal support."

"Your Majesty has decided to massacre the court. Over thirty officials, both high and low, who may have colluded with the enemy, are in danger of their lives."

"The northern barbarians have been cut off from their food supplies, so they are fighting a desperate battle."

"I have sent a letter requesting assistance. Reinforcements will arrive within three to five days."

"In the next few days, we must not let the Northern Barbarian army cross the Tianyong City defense line."

Liu Feng put away the letter and thought carefully.

According to the geographical map of Youzhou drawn by Wu Jiang, there are only two roads south of Tianyong City.

One is a pipeline in the mountains, which is located in a dangerous location.

One is the waterway, and the key point of the waterway is exactly where the water fort is located, where seven rivers converge.

Now that the northern barbarians have lost their food support, they have besieged Tianyong City and plundered the surrounding villages. If they want to fill their stomachs, they can only look south.

On this road, Xinhe Ferry is the key point facing the northern barbarians.

Although Linghu Xiaoshan only asked her to help protect the safety of the people.

But Liu Feng knew very well that if the northern barbarian army continued to expand and plunder southward, Xinhedu would be the first to bear the brunt.

The war must not be allowed to spread to Xinhedu, which is the result of his hard work over the past few months.

Once they come, it will be too late to defend.

"Linghu Chongshan, Linghu Yuanshan."

"I will be here."
