Chapter 600 Peasant Woman 28
As she said that, she ran out quickly and soon gathered dozens of little dolls. Listening to their playfulness gradually fading away, Tan You pinched his brows and said, "Go and do your own thing."
Everyone left, leaving Tan You alone. Tan You picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. In this world of great competition, it all depends on who can have the last laugh.
Since chaos has begun outside, no place will be spared. In order to detect news from the outside at any time, people from the village go back and forth between the town and Miaogou Village every day, but the news they bring back every time is not optimistic.
At the same time, the village is also actively buying food. In troubled times, the most important thing is food. Although the clan has stored enough food to last the clan members for several years, everyone else is buying it, and it would seem a bit out of place for you not to buy it.
Besides, in troubled times, food prices are the first to rise. Just like now, the price of food in the town is getting higher and higher, and the food available to buy is getting less and less, and there are even purchase restrictions.
The high-level meeting of the clan was held again. Chen Tianshui frowned: "It's getting more and more uneasy."
Tan You was very calm: "Soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil, we have to do it." "Stay alive."
Chen Tianshui looked at Tan You: "When will the lady take action?"
Tan You raised his eyebrows slightly: "We shouldn't take the initiative, but should follow the trend. But now that the county magistrate and the prefect are still here, it is really not the time for us to get ahead.”
Chen Tianshui tried: "If they are gone..."
Tan You saw through his mind at a glance: "We don't take the initiative to stir up trouble. Now we have a strategy, wait, wait for the right time, but we can't Passively waiting to be beaten."
Chen Tianshui frowned: "How long will it take?"
Tan You knocked on the table: "Beirong has already reached Youzhou, our temple. Gou Village belongs to Yunzhou and borders Youzhou. If Youzhou cannot withstand it, it will fall to Beirong. "
"Beirong will only go south, and Beirong will burn, kill and loot all the way. There must not be much food and grass. Although the imperial court is weak, it is impossible for Beirong to go south like this."
The third grandfather heard some clues: "The imperial court can't defeat Beirong now, so the only thing left is to negotiate for peace."
Tan You nodded: "Yes, there is always a price to pay for peace negotiations. I guess the imperial court will cede several states near Yunzhou to Beirong. At that time, it will not be too late for us to take action."
Chen Tianshui assessed the current combat effectiveness of the lower tribes: "But we can. Our escort team that can go to the battlefield now only has five or six hundred people. Although everyone in the clan is now good at martial arts, but against the Beirong..."
Yue Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is still a battle. "It's a machine."
Looking at the puzzlement of the clan members, Yue Shu said: "There were always thunderous sounds from the mountain some time ago. Could it be that the clan elders have forgotten it?"
It saves trouble to talk to smart people. The third grandfather immediately realized: "Is it a new thing made by the eldest lady?"
"Yes," Tan You took a sip of tea: "I call it gunpowder. With gunpowder , Even if we face hundreds of thousands of troops, we can still escape unscathed."
The third grandfather was doubtful, but his trust in Tan You still prevailed: "As long as the lady is sure, that's fine. big The lady never tells lies."
Yue Shu was slightly complacent: "We have gunpowder and a sufficient supply, so we can be invincible. And the lady has some soft muscles. Disperse, the lady made a smoke bomb a few days ago..."
Tan You did not attack him: "Now we will wait for the court to negotiate a peace, and once Yunzhou is ceded, we will take action."
"At that time, we will be justified. We are not rebels from the imperial court, but national heroes fighting for ourselves." Yue Shu was a little puzzled: "Madam, do we have to wait until that time? If Beirong occupied Yun State, that’s it How many people will die?"
Tan You could only harden his heart: "In war years, where are the undead? And we have to be famous. If we go against Beirong now? , how many people do you think would feel it? Provoke us? Others will only regard us as bandits and bandits."
"This wave of court officials will not resolve external conflicts and will never be soft on their own people, and they even shout out. The slogan is that before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle the inside. "
"As for me, there is chaos outside, so we should work together as one. Is it really impossible for the imperial court to defeat Beirong? It's definitely not because they are not united. "
"The high-ranking officials huddled in the hinterland of the Central Plains are suspicious of each other and only value their own black gauze hats. The generals guarding the border are not only afraid that the other party will be superior to the leader, but they also count on the generals to charge with blood. How can anything be so cheap?"< br>
Yang Youchang stared at Tan You: "The lady has a good impression of the generals?"
Tan You clenched his fist: "Master Yang, in this troubled world, what can make us survive? There is and only martial arts It is true that power comes from the barrel of a gun."
"When we are armed, others will not dare to bully us at will. Therefore, the army is the most important. I said that the civil servants who were suspicious of military commanders were really stupid. "
"And many military commanders died not at the hands of their enemies, but mostly at the hands of the court and the monarch. "
Yang Youchang sighed: "The lady has a keen eye. Indeed, from ancient times to the present, few military generals have had a good ending. It is already a luxury to hope to live in peace until old age."
Tan You: "Let's not mention these for now. Now let me talk about our next plan..."
Everyone immediately held their breath. After Tan You explained one, two, and three times, Yang Youchang said: "In the house in Yunzhou, we hide We have dozens of trebuchets and a lot of gunpowder hidden away."
"If the escort team is taken to Yunzhou, I'm worried about the clan..."
Chen Tianshui is very optimistic: " Let’s go with all the existing convoys. We also have militiamen in the village. If we capture Yunzhou, what will we have to worry about in the future?”
"And we also have a city wall. Even if Beirong wants to attack, they won't be able to attack our village for a while."
Tan You pondered for a long time: "The escort team leaves fifty people in the clan, and usually brings the militia team Training. The remaining four hundred and fifty people will go with me, and Zhu Rong’s apprentices must follow.”
The clan elders. They were a little worried: "Is it possible? Don't let Dr. Zhu follow?"
Tan You waved her hand: "No, Zhu Rong is pregnant, let her take good care of herself in the clan. It's nothing more than trauma treatment, I believe they can do it well."
Yue Shu was moved: "Thank you, Madam, for thinking about Zhu Rong."
Tan You glanced at him: "No need to say any more sensational words. You will leave for Yunzhou Fucheng in a moment. I will be the last group to go."
Yue Shu and others stood up straight: "Yes!"< br>
