Chapter 358: War is about to begin 2
These three countries are connected together, tightly wrapping the northern part of Yuanqing Kingdom. In the past, General Qin of Yuanqing Kingdom was stationed in the north, and the two small countries of Xiyue Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom were quite stable.
The Yuanqing State also opened up trade with these two countries and had frequent business exchanges.
Although the Canglang Kingdom often harassed the border, it did not dare to be too presumptuous due to the strength of the Yuanqing Kingdom.
But now Yuanqing Kingdom has just experienced a very serious natural disaster. Coupled with the current instability of the royal family, the position of the crown prince has not been determined, and several princes are fighting for it.
They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture the northern part of Yuanqing Kingdom, or even the entire Yuanqing Kingdom.
"What's going on in Beijing?" Grandpa Zhao asked.
“The fighting hasn’t started yet, but it is said that the imperial court has already started recruiting soldiers, buying horses, and gathering food and fodder.
General Qin has already led the Qin Army to the border, and some food and fodder have already been sent out. It is estimated that the army will also set out soon."
"With General Qin in charge, we can stabilize the situation for the time being. At least they won't be able to attack us in the short term.
However, if the Canglang Kingdom really joins forces with the other two countries to attack our Yuanqing Kingdom, it is estimated that there is a high possibility that the attack will reach our side.
But what is certain is that we will be safe in the short term, and General Qin is still very powerful."
Lu Chuan listened for a long time and slowly said, "Yes, General Qin is the pillar of our country. The people of Yuanqing Country admire General Qin very much. With him, the people of this world can live and work in peace and contentment."
In fact, Lu Chuan is very familiar with General Qin. After all, Lu's father used to be a frequent battlefield fighter, so Lu Chuan has admired General Qin since he was a child.
The Taoist frowned, opened his mouth and finally asked, "Old Zhao, the war has started again, what are your plans?"
"Why are you looking at me? My old bones can't stand the hardship of war. The capital city won't keep me, so why would I go to the border?" Grandpa Zhao retorted.
Grandpa Zhao has been through many ups and downs in his life, and when he was young he served as a military doctor on the front line.
Grandpa Zhao’s medical skills were very impressive. When Grandpa Zhao was young, people in the capital city asked him many times to return to the capital to take charge, but Grandpa Zhao refused every time.
Later, when there was no war, Grandpa Zhao would stay in the capital, but as soon as there was a war, Grandpa Zhao would return to the front line as soon as possible.
However, there have not been any major wars in the country in recent years, and as Grandpa Zhao gets older, he rarely stays at the border.
And there are several disciples of Grandpa Zhao in the capital and other places in Yuanqing Country, so it is not a big problem.
The several apprentices that Grandpa Zhao brought with him were all very skilled in medicine. When they were in the capital, Grandpa Zhao rarely saw patients and usually sent his apprentices to see patients.
Grandpa Zhao would only come in person if there were particularly important people or difficult cases.
Otherwise, Grandpa Zhao would not have been at ease and would not have followed the Taoist priest to this remote mountain, where no one lives, and stayed there for three years.
Hearing this, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "I thought you would go to the front line like before."
"Hahaha, I'm old and useless. I've been well taken care of in the mountains over the past few years. I'm afraid of death and don't want to go to the front line again." Grandpa Zhao said self-deprecatingly.
"I wouldn't let you go even if you wanted to. I haven't forgotten what happened in the past. I really can't fight that hard anymore when I get older."
"Yes, yes, you are right, so I will be selfish and not go this time." Grandpa Zhao laughed heartily when he heard that.
Lu Chuan on the side seemed to be thinking about something. Xu Han saw it but didn't say anything.
The Taoist priest patted his clothes and continued, "Okay, let's do what we need to do. They can't attack us for a while, so we should do what we need to do as before.
It's enough for you to know about this matter. At least for now, you don't need to take it too seriously.
Everything is supported by the soldiers on the front line. We must trust General Qin and the Qin Army he leads."
Xu Han didn't say a word during this discussion. She just listened silently, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Although I knew all this a long time ago, when the time came, I was still a little worried and scared.
When the Taoist priest asked Grandpa Zhao whether he wanted to go to the front line, Xu Han was very worried.
I was worried about Grandpa Zhao's age and physical condition. Although Grandpa Zhao looks young and strong now, he is a very dangerous person on the battlefield and many things are unpredictable.
Secondly, they were worried that the Taoist priest would go as well. Of course, they were also selfish and didn’t want them to go to the front line.
After all, Xu Han had some idea of the future dangers. She could not guarantee that a fight would really break out, or even come here. It would not be safe for her and Lu Chuan to stay in this deep mountain.
Xu Han knew her own uniqueness and didn't dare to take any risks.
The human heart is always scarier than the wild beasts in the mountains. The two of them were able to survive the disaster year smoothly, but they were not sure whether they would be able to survive the war safely.
It would be fine if no one discovered that there were people living in the deep mountains, but if the two of them went down the mountain frequently, they would definitely be noticed.
The most important thing is that by then there will definitely be people who will move to the mountains to avoid conscription or war.
If this place was discovered by soldiers or by people from the enemy country, neither Xu Han nor Lu Chuan would be able to completely protect themselves.
Not only will all your painstaking planning be lost by then, but even your own personal safety may not be guaranteed.
If Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest were here, the two of them would really save themselves a lot of trouble.
There is no need to mention the Taoist priest's fighting skills, and Grandpa Zhao's medical skills are also very important. Of course, if the two of them are there, they can also help Xu Han take care of the children and be responsible for the children's education.
Xu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that neither of them had such an idea.
But when she turned around and saw Lu Chuan's expression, Xu Han couldn't help but worry again...
Apparently, Grandpa Zhao also saw what Lu Chuan was thinking about, and he said, "Okay, Xiao Chuan, don't think too much. Even if a fight really breaks out, we can't be hurt hiding in this deep mountain.
Even if we want to recruit soldiers, we can't come here. Don't worry, we just need to live a good life at home. We just need to be more careful when we go out in the future."
"Oh, I understand." Lu Chuan stood up after hearing that and started walking towards the backyard.
Today we are going to start building the woodshed and dog kennel in the backyard.
Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest had already prepared the materials yesterday, so they can just start work today.
The firewood shed is directly connected to the previous chicken coop, with one side close to the chicken coop and the other side close to the back wall.
