When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 600 Peasant Woman 28
She ran out quickly and soon gathered dozens of little kids. Listening to their noises gradually fading away, Tan You pinched her brows and said, "Go do your own thing."

Everyone left, leaving only Tan You. Tan You took a sip of the tea in front of him. In this world of great contention, it all depends on who will have the last laugh.

Since the outside world has started to become chaotic, no place will be spared. In order to get news from the outside world at any time, the villagers travel back and forth between the town and Miaogou Village every day, but the news they bring back is not optimistic every time.

At the same time, the village was also actively buying food. In troubled times, food was the most important thing. Although the tribe had stored enough food for the tribe members to consume for several years, if others were buying, you would seem out of place if you didn't buy.

Besides, when troubled times come, food is the first thing to go up in price. Just like now, the price of food in the town is getting higher and higher, while the amount of food available is getting less and less, and there are even purchase restrictions.

The clan's high-level meeting was held again, and Chen Tianshui was worried: "It's getting more and more uneasy."

Tan You was very calm: "We have to survive."

Chen Tianshui looked at Tan You: "When does the lady plan to take action?"

Tan You raised his eyebrows slightly: "We shouldn't take the initiative to jump out, but should go with the flow. Now that the county magistrate and the prefect are still here, it's really not the time for us to take the lead."

Chen Tianshui tried: "If they are gone..."

Tan You saw through his thoughts at a glance: "We won't take the initiative to cause trouble. Now we have only one strategy, wait, wait for the right opportunity, but we can't passively wait to be beaten."

Chen Tianshui frowned: "How long do we have to wait?"

Tan You knocked on the table and said, "The Northern Rong have now reached Youzhou. Our Miaogou Village belongs to Yunzhou, which borders Youzhou. If Youzhou can't hold on, it will fall to the Northern Rong."

"The Northern Rong will only go further south, and they will burn, kill, and plunder along the way, so they must not have much food and grass. Although the imperial court is weak, it is impossible for them to let the Northern Rong go all the way south."

Third Grandfather heard something and said, "The imperial court cannot defeat the Northern Rong now, so the only thing left is to negotiate peace."

Tan You nodded: "That's right, peace talks always come at a price. I estimate that the court will cede several states near Yunzhou to Beirong. When that time comes, it won't be too late for us to take action."

Chen Tianshui assessed the current combat capability of his people: "But we only have 500 to 600 guards on the battlefield. Although everyone in our tribe knows martial arts, we can't fight against Beirong..."

Yue Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is still a chance for a fight."

Seeing the tribesmen's confusion, Yue Shu said, "Some time ago, there were bursts of thunder-like noises coming from the mountain. Could it be that the elders have forgotten?"

It is easier to talk to smart people. The third grandfather immediately realized: "Is this something new made by the lady?"

"Yes," Tan You took a sip of tea, "I call it gunpowder. With gunpowder, even if we are facing an army of hundreds of thousands, we can still retreat unscathed."

The Third Grandpa was skeptical, but his trust in Tan You prevailed: "As long as the Madam is sure, it's fine. The Madam will never tell lies."

Yue Shu was a little complacent: "We have gunpowder, and the supply is sufficient, so we can be invincible. And the lady has muscle softening powder, and she also made a smoke bomb a few days ago..."

Tan You did not discourage him: "Now we are just waiting for the court to negotiate peace. Once Yunzhou is ceded, we will take action."

"At that time, we will be legitimate. We will no longer be rebels against the imperial court, but national heroes who fight for ourselves." Yue Shu was puzzled: "Madam, do we have to wait until then? If the Northern Rong occupied Yunzhou, how many people would die?"

Tan You could only harden his heart: "In times of war, there are always deaths. And we have to have a legitimate reason. If we go to fight against the Northern Rong now, how many people do you think will be grateful to us? Others will just treat us as bandits."

"This wave of court officials is not good at settling external conflicts and contradictions. They are ruthless when it comes to attacking their own people, and even shouted the slogan that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression."

"In my opinion, since the outside world is in chaos, we should work together as one. Is it true that the imperial court cannot defeat the Northern Rong? Definitely not. It's just that they are not united."

"The high-ranking officials hiding in the heart of the Central Plains are suspicious of each other and only care about their own official hats. The military commanders guarding the border are afraid that the other party will be more powerful than the master, but they also expect the military commanders to charge forward and fight. How can such a thing be so easy?"

Yang Youchang stared at Tan You and asked, "Madam, do you have a good impression of the generals?"

Tan You clenched his fist and said, "Master Yang, in this chaotic world, what can keep us alive? Only force. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and this saying is true."

"Once we have weapons, others will not dare to bully us at will. No matter what time, the army is the most important. So I say that the civil officials who are suspicious of the military commanders are really stupid."

"Many generals did not die at the hands of the enemy, but mostly died at the hands of the court and the monarch."

Yang Youchang sighed: "Madam, you have a keen eye. Indeed, from ancient times to the present, there are very few military commanders who have a good ending. It is a luxury to live to old age in peace."

Tan You: "Let's not talk about these for now, now I will tell you about our next plan..."

Everyone held their breath immediately. After Tan You explained everything, Yang Youchang said, "We have dozens of catapults hidden in Yunzhou's house, and we also have a lot of gunpowder."

"If the guards are all taken to Yunzhou, I'm worried about the clan..."

Chen Tianshui was optimistic: "Let all the guards go. We also have militia in our village. If we can conquer Yunzhou, then we won't have to worry about anything in the future."

"Besides, we also have city walls. Even if the Northern Rong want to attack, they won't be able to attack our village for a while."

Tan You pondered for a long time and said, "Leave 50 members of the guard team in the clan to train with the militia. The remaining 450 will go with me. Zhu Rong's apprentices must also follow."

The elders were a little worried: "Is it possible? Not letting Doctor Zhu follow?"

Tan You waved his hand: "No need, Zhu Rong is pregnant, let her take good care of herself in the tribe. It's nothing more than treating the external injuries, I believe they can do it well."

Yue Shu was deeply touched: "Thank you, Madam, for caring about Zhu Rong."

Tan You glanced at him and said, "No need to say any more sentimental words. You will leave for Yunzhou Prefecture soon. I will be the last one to go."

Yue Shu and the others stood up straight at the same time: "Yes!"
