Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 219 Yan Nansheng: Do I look easy to control?

In the big tent in the north, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

All the generals lowered their heads, regret surging in their hearts like a tide.

General Xie sat in the main seat with a gloomy face. He pinched his swollen and painful brows with one hand and closed his eyes slightly, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil.

Back then, it was Yan Nansheng who discovered the Tatar army entering the northern border through the secret passage, and they were able to annihilate them all in time.

In that battle, Yan Nansheng's intelligence and courage left a deep impression on everyone.

However, now they suffered losses in digging the secret passage.

General Xie slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of regret and self-blame.

He glanced at the generals in the tent and sighed heavily: "We were careless... Over the years, because Sheng'er has brought great progress to the Xie family army, we may have become a little complacent."

The generals felt even more guilty after listening to General Xie's words.

They recalled their own negligence and felt so regretful that they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

Some people secretly blamed themselves in their hearts: How could they be so foolish? They had learned from previous experience, but still let the enemy take advantage of them.

Others clenched their fists and secretly swore that they would never make such a mistake again and must avenge their dead brothers.

At this time, General Xie's eyes fell on several major generals.

Several major generals looked serious, as they were fully aware of the seriousness of this mistake.

The eldest brother, Xie Junyan, thought to himself: "We must find out the enemy's situation before my cousin comes. We can't let my cousin take risks again."

The third brother, Xie Rongxuan, also secretly made up his mind: "My cousin is coming soon, we must be prepared and not cause trouble for her."

And the people who were thanking the banquet in the crowd had even more complicated feelings.

When he heard that Yan Nansheng had already set out with reinforcements and that they would arrive in three days, an indescribable joy and excitement surged in his heart.

His eyes lit up instantly, like stars twinkling in the darkness.

Longing spread in his heart like a vine. They hadn't seen each other for a long time since Yan Nansheng returned to Beijing.

Although they had been communicating through letters, it was far from satisfying the desire in his heart.

He remembered Yan Nansheng's every smile, her bravery, intelligence and kindness.

Unconsciously, he had developed different feelings towards Yan Nansheng and no longer just regarded her as a sister.

He knew how beastly his thoughts were. His cousin was only ten years old!

But he couldn't control his heart.

However, he can wait until she grows up.

At this moment, he hoped that time would pass faster so that he could see her sooner.

General Xie looked at everyone and continued, "The army of the Great Zhou is a little strange this time. Everyone, be alert and don't get fooled easily."

"The eldest and the third brother go back and prepare to raid the Tatar camp tonight. The second and fifth brothers will go to the Great Zhou camp to find out the number of the Great Zhou army this time."

Several major generals responded in unison: "Yes, General." Their eyes were full of firmness and determination.

"Even if they fell from the sky, an army of hundreds of thousands of people would not be unable to send back any news." A general said angrily.

"Even if they dig a secret passage, it won't be done quietly. We must find out where they started digging the secret passage." Another general echoed.

General Xie nodded slightly and looked at the fourth general, Xie Yunzhan: "Fourth general, take a few deputy generals to investigate this matter." Xie Yanling replied solemnly: "Yes! General!"

The atmosphere in the big tent was still tense, but everyone's fighting spirit was ignited.

They knew that they could not make any more mistakes and had to go all out for the peace of the North and the safety of the people's lives.

Yan Nansheng's arrival was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing them hope and strength.

They look forward to working with her to create miracles again and safeguard peace in the North.

Yan Nansheng led his army all the way north, marching in a mighty manner on the road leading to Jiuyou Mansion.

Wherever the army went, they collected food as they moved forward, but the process of collecting food was full of drama.

The closer we get to Jiuyou Palace, the easier it is to collect food.

This strange phenomenon left the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War who were accompanying the army completely baffled.

They looked at each other in confusion, secretly guessing the reason behind this.

In fact, when they first entered the northern border, the Minister of Revenue was sent by Yan Nansheng to collect grain.

At first, he was full of reluctance, thinking that he, as the Minister of Revenue, was actually sent to do such trivial tasks.

But due to Yan Nansheng's authority, he had no choice but to obey the order and leave.

However, the results of the grain harvest were not ideal and the harvest was very small.

The Minister of Revenue was not surprised by this.

In his impression, the North has always been a barren land, and the people there are people without any etiquette or education.

In his opinion, how much food could be harvested in such a place? It was normal that there was no food harvested.

Although when he first entered the North, the environment he saw was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

This is not a desolate and lifeless scene, but rather a thriving one.

But he didn't care too much about it, thinking that it was closest to the Central Plains, so it might be a little more prosperous.

He firmly believed that the further north you went, the more desolate the place would become.

The Minister of War also had similar ideas.

The two of them huddled together, talking in whispers.

The Minister of Revenue stroked his beard, raised his chin slightly, and said with disdain: "Humph, how much food can there be in this northern border? It is a waste of effort for Her Royal Highness the Princess to ask us to collect the food."

The Minister of War nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's right. We are the Ministers, but we are sent to do such a trivial matter. Her Highness the Princess really doesn't take us seriously."

The Minister of Revenue had a sly look in his eyes, and lowered his voice and said, "When Her Royal Highness the Princess encounters a problem, she will naturally come to us for help. By then, we can easily control her."

After hearing this, the Minister of War smiled smugly, as if he had already seen the scene of Yan Nansheng bowing to them.

The funny thing is that the Princess of the Warring States Period did not collect any food or fodder when she was in the prosperous area of ​​the Central Plains.

In their opinion, it was extremely stupid to start preparing food and fodder only after arriving in this desolate place.

They were secretly proud of themselves, thinking that Yan Nansheng was young and impetuous after all, and did things without consideration.

"Humph! If she dares to make us follow the army north and suffer all kinds of hardships, we won't be kind enough to remind her of the rules of food and fodder collection."

The Minister of Revenue gritted his teeth and said. The Minister of War also snorted coldly: "That's right, let her do it herself. When she knows how powerful we are, she will naturally come to us for help."

Yan Nansheng didn't have time to pay attention to their little thoughts.

Letting them go to collect food and fodder was purely to give the two ministers something to do.

As for food and fodder, what Xie’s army lacks the least now is food and fodder.
