"What happened to Jinchu has nothing to do with me. I'm just worried about our people. The severe drought has just passed and it hasn't fully recovered yet. I'm afraid the lives of the people at the border will be difficult again this winter."
Solving problems as soon as they notice them is Song Chen's consistent style.
And when she explained so calmly, Cang Xiuxuan also felt that she had gone too far. She and Jin Chu had nothing to do with each other, but because of Jin Chu's thoughts about her, he was extra sensitive.
He hugged Song Chen from behind and put his head on her shoulder.
Smelling the unique fragrance on her body, Cang Xiuxuan's heart slowly calmed down.
"Wang Sai and the others have received my order and will not launch a large-scale war unless it is absolutely necessary. The terrain of the border town is also an advantage for us. We should still be in a state of strict defense."
In ancient times, communications were not as developed as modern times. They still had no idea what had just happened and could only speculate based on the original information.
"Wang Sai and Qin Tian both fought with me and knew what was going on. I also ordered the surrounding stations to be ready to provide support at any time, so there is no need to worry about the people in the city."
"I believe they can hold on, but I'm afraid Jin Chu will have to fight to the death."
"It's not like Jin Chu can't do it."
Cang Xiuxuan had also thought about this, so his order was very clear. Jin Chu could not be allowed to break through the border gate no matter what.
"We have food and grass supplies in the city. It is really difficult for Jinchu and others. They will definitely have to fight against the odds. The pressure on the border is still quite big."
Cang Xiuxuan could tell Song Chen all these things, and Song Chen was also analyzing other possibilities while listening.
It's just that she really doesn't know anything about fighting.
"Then what are your plans?"
Song Chen also knew that Cang Xiuxuan had his own plans. Instead of being harassed by border officials all year round, it was better to solve the problem completely and settle it once and for all.
"According to my plan, I will directly annihilate them all and conquer the grassland tribes. In this way, in the future, we will not have to worry so much about the people in the border towns who are constantly threatened by war."
Speaking of this, Cang Xiuxuan paused and looked at Song Chen with burning eyes, "Does Chen'er think that I am being cruel?"
"Why are you being cruel? You are doing this to protect your people. Although other people are also born as human beings, their current affairs still need to be worried about by their leaders. It has nothing to do with you. Each of us has
Everyone has his own position, and since he has chosen his own position, he must be responsible for his own choices."
Those soldiers at the border are actually somewhat different from the Dajong. Before Cang Xiuxuan came to power, the Dajong's policy was to arrest people whenever there was war.
But the grassland mountains are different. There are only a few people on the grasslands. They themselves can't stand such a hard life and want to take away what belongs to others, so they all voluntarily join the army. This is the position they choose.
They chose to plunder, so now they may have to pay with their lives for their choice, which is fair.
Song Chen's words made Cang Xiuxuan feel a lot more at ease.
In fact, this is the real him, the cold-blooded and ruthless regent that others say, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He wanted to show his truest side in front of his dearest people, but he was worried that Song Chen would be disgusted by this kind of self.
In his heart, his little princess will always be so beautiful.
But he had forgotten that his little princess had always been very defensive. His people and her little princess were naturally included in her own camp, so she couldn't bear to see her people being wronged. Now it's Jin
If Chu was looking for trouble, then she would have no compassion at all.
"They also suggested that we could take this opportunity to test the effect of the military reform. I agreed and selected three stations to let them see their response capabilities."
They discussed this before Song Chen came, so she didn't know, but now he told her.
It was she who came up with the original idea of military reform. He had never thought about this issue before. They had always believed that their own people were only useful if they were tightly held in their own hands. Now that military reform is actually a matter of
It was also very risky, as it meant letting all his people out.
If it cannot be recovered by then, it will be the heaviest loss.
He is also looking forward to the results of this inspection.
But compared to him, Song Chen was much calmer.
"Why did those people under you come to serve as soldiers?"
"Mostly for survival."
Cang Xiuxuan is clear about this. The first group of his men came to him for the sake of livelihood, and they were trained by him little by little. Even now, most of the people in that group have become leaders, but later on
Most of those who come to join the army have the same purpose.
Song Chen nodded, "Since it was for livelihood in the beginning, then naturally it is still for livelihood now. Our military reform has ensured their livelihood. If they are dismissed from the army, will we still support them as before?
"
"Of course not."
When Cang Xiuxuan was asked two questions by Song Chen, his mind instantly became clear.
Therefore, sometimes what the authorities say is not false at all. He has not even thought about such a simple truth and is still worried here.
He leaned over and pressed a kiss on Song Chen's face, "My dear princess, what would I do without you?"
The more Song Chen got along with him, the more he felt that he was actually like a child looking for a sense of security in front of him. Song Chen was naturally willing to give him enough sense of security.
Taking advantage of the situation, she raised her hands and hugged his neck, "Don't worry about this problem, you can't live without me."

border town
After the initial provocation, Jin Chu seemed to have a new assessment of the military strength in the border city, and then they camped directly under the city. This approach was very risky, but he knew that the people in the border city would not take the initiative
Attack.
"Find a few excited people to see if there is any other way into the city besides the city gate."
Logically speaking, a city cannot have only one road. Even if the terrain here is favorable to them, the people in the city will find other places to enter and exit.
Most of the people under Jin Chu also lived in the grasslands. They hunted other tribes in the grasslands all year round. They were not as familiar with the border towns as Jin Chu, but there must be such people in their army.
As soon as Jin Chu expressed his idea, they quickly found the right person and brought him to Jin Chu.
