Chapter 649: Elder sister is like mother 9

As for food, although it is better than that of a female child, the farm family only has so much food, and after paying the land tax and sharing it with the tenants of the farmland, there really isn't much left over. Even the head of the family, the mainstay, can only get a little.

Even if you eat a full meal every day during the busy farming season, you can only eat half of it during normal times, let alone a man who can eat at the right time.

However, Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng were slightly different from other children. Compared with other boys in the village, the two brothers could be said to have been raised well.

First of all, there is no extra fertile land outside the family's farmland for growing vegetables. There is no land for the two brothers to work on. They played for fun when they were young, but when they grew up, they just collected firewood and helped with some light work. The rest was basically

They were all taken care of by Mrs. Miao, who commanded Miao Erying and Miao Sanying.

Secondly, kissing from another generation, not to mention that Mr. Miao is a kind-hearted person, he loves the younger generations in the family very much.

Even though Mrs. Miao is a patriarchal person, Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng were the men she had been waiting for for more than ten years and prayed to God countless times to get him. You can tell what kind of life the two brothers are living at home.

In addition, Father Miao's biological son is gone, and the other younger son has died somewhere, so don't we have to treat the two brothers like eyeballs? Do we need to be pampered?

No, the same thing happened to other tribesmen who were parents. Those children were aggrieved at best, but if it were Miao Jiangang and Miao Jiancheng's two sons, they would be unpardonable evildoers.

As for the old lady, is she planning for their future?

How much did the old lady love and pamper his two children in the past?

Oh, who cares.

Of course, Jian Yi, the eldest sister's brother, was also dragged down. Every night in his dreams, he kept mumbling that he wished Jian Yi would die, blaming Jian Yi, their great supporter, for not being there to shield them from the wind and rain, working hard and without complaint, and that they would

They support them.

The new monarch of the Nanman Kingdom was ambitious. Not long after he took office, he was planning to go north to attack the Liang Kingdom. Therefore, at this time, the weapons and equipment of the Nanman Army were extremely high-quality, and the food and grass supplies were extremely sufficient.

Compared with the Southern Barbarians who had been plotting for a long time, the old emperor in Daliang was old and suspicious, so he seemed to have to let a few princes toss the poison, which made the court and country full of chaos, corrupt officials, cliques, and imperial examinations.

Fraud is common.

Civilians are in charge of the government, and corrupt officials and princes have stolen the money from the treasury in various names, so the army naturally does not have much military pay.

Without military pay, there won’t be much food; weapons and armor can’t be renewed and repaired; the food for soldiers and good horses can’t keep up, the soldiers don’t have enough to eat and don’t have the strength to train and fight, and the horses can’t run.

road.

For various reasons, the two armies met with swords, and the result is predictable.

This is also the reason why Pingyang Pass was captured so quickly.

After all, since the old emperor could send Pingyang Hou to guard Pingyang Pass before, then Pingyang Hou naturally has two brushes. Even if there is a surprise attack, he can react quickly and give corresponding response measures. He is determined not to

Maybe the Nanman people fell just after they attacked.

However, the fact is that Pingyang Hou died in battle and Pingyang Pass was captured.

Although there are many political reasons for this, another issue is the issue of military pay, weapons, and food.

On this day, Governor Chang Heng was discussing matters in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion with his subordinates. Just when he was in the mood, the communication in the room suddenly stopped.

A sharp arrow shot through the air and hit the table between the two chairs in the upper hall with a clang. A piece of letter paper was thinly tied with cotton thread at the front of the arrow.

The sudden change frightened all the generals present, and they hurriedly called for people to investigate the cause.

Governor Chang Heng and the military advisor looked at each other, raised their hands and waved lightly. The trusted young general behind him immediately stepped forward, pulled out the arrow, and checked it to make sure that the arrow was not poisonous even if it touched the paper, and that there was nothing on it.

After clearly marking it, it was respectfully placed on the table.

Governor Chang Heng closed his eyes and asked: "How? What is written on the letter?"

The other generals in the hall all looked at the young general.

To dare to do such a bold thing in the Governor's Mansion, and why he hasn't been caught yet, that person must have a very high status, and the information that he had to go through so much trouble to deliver should be of the most important importance.

The young general was not at all nervous or timid due to the blazing gazes of so many people, he was just a bit hard to say.

That person was also too arrogant and confident, which made him feel extremely ridiculous.

Governor Chang Heng saw that his subordinates had not spoken for a long time and looked at him in confusion. Seeing this young general, he did not dare to think too much and hurriedly said: "The letter states that tonight he will use all the food and grass in the Nanman Army's food and grass camp as a proxy, hoping to join the army to defend it."

Beam.

If it happens, then tonight there will be fire at the Nanman garrison in Pingyang City. I hope the commander can clean up the grain camp in time and wait for the new grain to enter the warehouse."

Before the young general finished speaking, there were frequent gasps of surprise in the hall.

Listen to what is said here. It seems like such a simple and easy thing to invade the Southern Barbarian Army's camp and empty out all the food and grass in their food and grass camp. The tone is so loud and so crazy.

They believed that this person should be a person with outstanding martial arts skills, otherwise he would not be able to enter the heavily guarded Governor's Mansion as if there were no one around him.

Similarly, they also believed that the owner of the letter could enter and exit the Nanman Army's garrison as unimpeded as he entered and exited the Governor's Palace.

However, they did not believe that they had emptied the grain and grass camp as they had said in their hearts. After all, it was a military garrison where a hundred thousand Nanman troops were stationed.

Just when the soldiers were about to say something to mock the owner of the letter, the soldiers who had gone out to detect the uninvited guests came back.

"Report, there is no suspicious person outside the meeting hall, and there is no trace of that person."

After listening to the soldier's report, the hall became silent once again and then became heated. All the soldiers couldn't help but forget about the previous topics and all started to discuss what was said on the letter and the owner of the letter.

Governor Chang Heng, who was at the top, listened carefully to the discussion and analysis of his subordinates, and studied the arrows and letter paper while listening.

After a cup of tea, seeing that his subordinates were becoming more and more disrespectful, Governor Chang Heng hurriedly slammed the table to stop them, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Governor Chang Heng said solemnly: "What are you arguing about? What's there to argue about? This person hasn't even seen you yet?"

"It only takes half a day to decide whether it's true or false. We won't find out until tonight."

"Please wake me up tonight."

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the cicadas were chirping, and a cool breeze occasionally blew by. It was the right time to sleep in the summer. However, at noon, none of the generals who had seen the letter or heard the arrogant words were impressed.

Those who felt sleepy all consciously walked to the city wall, looking in the direction of the barbarian army stationed in the south of Pingyang City in silence, as if they were waiting vaguely, expecting something.

Even so, they understand that this is nothing more than extravagant hope.

The Southern Barbarians have been planning for a long time, and food and grass are the top priority. If it was so easy to operate, they would have gone there themselves, and it would be his turn.

However, maybe that person really has the ability to live up to his arrogant words. After all, the guards at Chang Heng Governor's Mansion are no joke.
