Chapter 339 (1/2)

Tian Yuqiao received the peace letter that Fang Wenhao asked Daimei to bring back. Unexpectedly, he was already in the border town. Now that the night was deep, Tian Yuqiao didn't wake up Wang and the little guy.

In the early morning of the next day, Tian Yuqiao let the little guy read Fang Wenhao's letter again.

After listening, Wang took the letter paper and looked at it again and again.

”Mom, you took down the letter paper. It should be like this.” the little guy corrected Wang's mistake in time.

Wang smiled awkwardly and asked, ”qiao'er, did Hao'er say that his clothes are enough? Is there enough food there?”

Tian Yuqiao shook his head silently and said, ”Mom, I didn't say anything over there. I guess it shouldn't be a big problem?”

At this time, Tianshui City, the northwest border city, has been snowing for several days. The climate there is very strange. No one can say when it will change.

Naturally, the eldest prince would not go in person, so he arranged for Lao Jiu to take 5000 people to the border city to guard.

As a result, as soon as Lao Jiu and Fang Wenhao got there, they met with heavy snow. The group of Hu people who are used to fighting and hunting in the ice and snow have already launched their own offensive.

They cut off all the water sources outside Tianshui City and grazed inside. The water was full of cattle and sheep feces, and people couldn't drink it directly.

Fortunately, there was such a heavy snow. Now Lao Jiu can only let his soldiers collect the snow in the city and burn it to drink.

”Hao'er, I didn't expect the eldest prince to let us come to such a place. Originally, this city can be given up directly, because it can't echo with other cities. We are alone here. Alas, I didn't expect the eldest prince to be afraid that I used to work for the twelve princes.” Lao Jiu said with a bitter smile.

Fang Wenhao comforted him and said, ”Uncle nine, don't worry. There's a saying that there must be a way to the front of the mountain.”

”I just don't understand. The people in this city have run away. Why does the great prince want us to come here? Does he mean to let us die?” Lao Jiu frowned.

There were eight other generals in the house, all of whom were promoted by Lao Jiu, including the big head.

”Ninth master, my subordinates don't think so,” said a bearded deputy general.

”Oh? Tell me what you think.”

”My subordinates feel that although it can't be connected with the surrounding cities, once it is captured by the Hu people, it will be like a fortress.”

He said, and put some tea bowls on the table, just like a sand table.

Pointing to the middle place, he said, ”look, Ninth master, this is our Tianshui city. If it is occupied by the Hu people, it will affect the transportation of the six surrounding cities.”

Fang Wenhao noticed that this is simply a hub. Although it seems helpless, once it is gone, the roads and water sources around it will be affected. As long as the Hu people put a poison in it, the people in the other cities will suffer.

That beard was a general who had been guarding the border here for a long time. Now when he said so, Lao Jiu was enlightened.

”I didn't expect Vice General Hu to see so clearly the terrain and situation here. It's hard for you.” Lao Jiu patted Vice General Hu on the shoulder.
