I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 65: Seeking a Military Position

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Brother, I want to patrol like Jiang Ze, too.” Qi Haoran shouted as he rushed into Qi Xiuyuan’s study.

Since this was a matter of secrecy, Qi Xiuyuan had never told Qi Haoran about the patrolling before. How did he find out?

Qi Xiuyuan asked, “Who said that Jiang Ze’s going there to patrol?”

Qi Haoran tilted his head. “Isn’t that so? But when I went to the 3rd Division today, I realized that half of the elites had been transferred away. There were scouts from the 1st and 2nd Divisions transferred under Jiang Ze. Isn’t there going to be a war?”

He looked at his eldest brother and said unhappily, “Brother, you can’t leave me behind while you fight alone. I want to follow you, too.”

Straightening his neck, he said with red eyes, “If you leave without me, I’ll snatch a horse and head to the battlefield myself.”

Furious, Qi Xiuyuan pressed Qi Haoran down and spanked his butt. “Why are you going to the battlefield? Are you courting death? You’re only 12 years old this year!” As he spoke, he smacked his butt.

As Qi Haoran struggled, he shouted, “Why can’t I fight? I can already withstand 120 moves from you. Didn’t you say that you don’t have enough commanders under you? So what if you let me lead a couple dozen men? With the heavy snow, those Hus will definitely go south to plunder.”

Qi Xiuyuan paused and pulled him up. With a solemn expression, he asked, “How did you know that the Hus would definitely go south to plunder?” Although Qi Xiuyuan had changed the defenses, it was only a precaution, for he was not sure if the Hus would go south. However, Qi Haoran seemed certain that they would do so.

Qi Haoran said matter-of-factly, “If I were a Hu, I’d definitely go south. Not only would I be able to obtain food for the winter, but I’d also be able to weaken the Great Zhou’s military power. Perhaps after winning a few battles, the Great Zhou might even compensate me with porcelain and silk. With so many benefits, why wouldn’t I go south? I’d also have a ready-made reason. Since the snow disaster results in a shortage of supplies, the Hu Imperial Court will definitely be willing to let the soldiers go south to try.”

Qi Xiuyuan looked at his brother in surprise. He was only 12 years old this year, right? Not only did he usually look dumb and adorable, he did quite terrible in his studies, and his teacher would complain to Qi Xiuyuan every time he checked his homework.

Qi Xiuyuan recalled that Rong Xuan had once praised Qi Haoran’s ability to train soldiers. In just a month, he had united the miscellaneous soldiers of the 4th Division.
