As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became silent.
A moment later, Madam Ma reacted. She was a straightforward person and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. Those Turks are outside the city and don't dare to come in. Even if they come in, our Luo family's soldiers can chase them away. They've been safe and sound for so many years. There's nothing to fear. "
Shen Qiu also thought that Shen Miao was afraid and softly comforted, "Jiu Niang said correctly. Jiao Jiao need not be afraid."
Shen Miao's eyes drooped down. The Xiao Chun City was a small place at the borderlands and in the borderlands, there would always be nomads invading. The Turks in the east were one such group. These Turks were physically strong and had capable horses, making them extremely fierce in battle. If they were to fight with real swords and spears, Ming Qi's side would be at a disadvantage. But because the Xiao Chun City was easy to defend and hard to attack, coupled with the Luo family's prestige, these Tu Jue dared not advance and only dared to harass at the borders. Every year from August to October, the grasslands where the Tu Jue lived would be dry, and the Tu Jue would come to the Xiao Chun City to snatch things. All he had to do was chase these small fights away. The commoners were used to this, so they didn't take it to heart.
But Shen Miao remembered that in this year, a major event happened in the Xiao Chun City.
She nodded her head and nonchalantly said, "The Luo family army is as brave and fierce as Father's Shen family army. In that case, if the Tu Jue were to attack the city, one fear that they would be able to resist."
Luo Sui's expression stiffened and Luo Lian Ying's and Luo Lian Tai's expression did not look good either and could be said to be somewhat embarrassed. When there was no opponent, the Luo family would not be able to cope with such a huge expenditure of troops and horses. Moreover Emperor Wen Hui in the Ding capital simply did not care about the Xiao Chun City, thus after so many years, the Luo family's army was no different from dispersing. The officers and soldiers went home to farm or do business. The Luo Family Army that was left behind was just a bunch of loose traders. Other than going to the border every year to intimidate the Turks, he basically did nothing else. Comparing the Luo family's army with the Shen family's army was simply slapping the Luo family's face.
Luo Sa immediately turned hostile and looked at Shen Miao with anger, "What do you mean?"
Luo Ling quickly pulled him back and looked at Shen Miao warmly, "Second Younger Brother's words are too serious. Biao Younger Sister must not lower herself to Second Younger Brother's level."
"Those from the Ding capital are indeed different." Luo Tan's mouth twitched. "We've lived here for so many years without any problems, but Cousin is always afraid of this and that. Don't worry, the Turks will not enter the city. It's already been so many years …"
Shen Miao gently smiled, "What if one enters the city?"
Luo Tan did not expect that Shen Miao would refute and could not help but be surprised for a moment.
Luo Sui who was sitting on the high seat did not speak. The Luo family's education of the younger generation was like this, to let them fight for themselves and discuss on their own. There were some things that one would only be able to find out more by exploring on their own. The elders just watched quietly from the side. Shen Miao's words just now had some meaning but since Luo Sui did not speak, it was not good for Luo Lian Ying and the rest to speak so they could only watch the younger generation speak.
"How can he enter the city?" Luo Tan angrily retorted: "Those Turks only want some rations and tools. Once the tenth month is over, the drought will be over and they will not dare to act recklessly. After entering the city, we still have to fight. How can it be that easy? "
Shen Miao's expression did not change as she lightly said, "Only food and tools for more than ten years. Don't you feel that it is too easy to satisfy?"
Everyone was surprised for a moment.
Luo Qian's age was similar to Shen Miao and he asked curiously, "Biao Youngest Sister, what do you mean?"
"If it was me, I would not be so satisfied." Shen Miao replied warmly, "There are brave soldiers, strong horses and retreating grasslands. All of these, as compared to the scattered soldiers in the Xiao Chun City and the broken weapons, are much better. Why not fight for it? If one does not fight, it is because one is not familiar with the route to the Xiao Chun City. But after exploring for more than ten years, for such a small city, even if one only comes once a year and only goes to one place every time, the map can be drawn out. " She tilted her head and smiled, "When two armies confront each other, one side is fully prepared but do not take action. Is it because of the rules that have been observed for so many years and must be abided by? Who set it? "
