Chapter 972: The flames of war are on the verge of breaking out
The army of island bandits is like locusts, and everywhere they go, there is really no grass.
Sifu, who received the news, had already passed down the emperor's order, and all the villages along the road had been avoided, and the land of a hundred miles of Shazhou City had been emptied, and food, and everything had poured into Shazhou City.
Gao Yunshan these days, but sleepless all night, one to the island attack, the emperor's safety made him worried, the second is to throw a lot of Ping, the emperor ordered, not to block, to accept all, although the grain has long been reserved, but so many people poured in at once, he was also tired enough, dealing with the people during the day, dealing with official business at night, and the gray hair on his head was a lot.
But he didn't complain, the harder it is, the more he needs to persevere, of course, the greater the gain, he knows that as long as he gets through this difficulty, then he will no longer talk about becoming an official.
The Gao family is a family of Longcheng, and it is also in the same vein as the dragon, and it is not easy to get the trust of the emperor, only hard work, and dedication, so that the emperor can feel the heart of loyalty, and can have the grace of the emperor.
The two daughters of the Gao family have entered the palace, this is the arrangement of Da Yuer, one of them has got the name of the concubine, as long as the Gao family gets the emperor's heart, then the two daughters can get a higher status, as the head of the Gao family, Gao Yunshan of course thinks a lot, for the prosperity of the family, he must be wholeheartedly and do his best.
The Emperor of the Dragon has been on the throne for several years, the empire has undergone earth-shaking changes, as a rare smart person, he feels the difference of the new empire from various channels, there are many opportunities, the Gao family can completely integrate with the empire, and walk out of a different path, yes, that is openness, that is reform, follow the emperor, and never turn his back.
Only in this way can his Gao family get more.
"I've seen the city lord, Your Majesty is invited."
While he was busy with his thoughts, the guard walked in after making a report.
Generally speaking, there is only one female guard in the palace, and these female guards are created for the imperial concubines, plus the current several imperial concubines have made great achievements, and no one dares to underestimate this regular guard.
So even Gao Yunshan didn't dare to despise it, so he immediately stood up and responded: "Please lead the way." ”
Gao Yunshan came to the compound where Liu Qingshan lived, although it belonged to the city lord's mansion, but now it has been allocated to Liu Qingshan for use, and the surrounding guards are heavily guarded.
"Meet Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty will be immortal and immortal."
"Get up, Lord Gao, sit down and talk, this king has a discussion with you."
"The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty, please command, the minister will do his best and don't dare to slack off."
Hua Yan handed over a cup of tea, and the imperial concubine personally sent tea, which really flattered Gao Yunshan, originally he also arranged a beautiful maid, but at the request of Sifu, all of them were withdrawn, which was also to ensure the safety of the emperor, so by Liu Qingshan's side, only Hua Yan was left, as the imperial concubine, Hua Yan slowly began to get used to the days by Liu Qingshan's side.
Serving tea and pouring water, something she had never done before, she was also handy when she did it.
"City Lord Gao, now that millions of islands are coming to Shazhou City, next, there will be a bloody battle, and the Boxers will deal with it, it will be very difficult at first, in terms of war, City Lord Gao doesn't have to worry, but to maintain the stability of Shazhou City, it depends on the efforts of City Lord Gao, and now there are many people pouring into the city, and it is inevitable that there will be disasters such as spies, so Gao Cheng needs to be extremely careful."
Gao Yunshan gave a salute and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, the empire has been benevolent and the people's will, as long as there are people who are different, it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the public, but the millions of troops attacking the sandbar are really dangerous, Your Majesty's security is the foundation of the empire, if you can, the old minister begs Your Majesty to withdraw from the sandbank city as soon as possible, the old minister, as the city lord, is willing to fight to the death with the island and die with the sandbank city." ”
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "The loyalty of the high city lord, this king can understand, but this time, we need to fight side by side, in fact, this time the danger of Shazhou City is also deliberately caused by this king, the island has always been a disaster, for example, the emperor wants to annihilate it, but it can't succeed, this time this time this king gives them a chance, surround and destroy it, they need to die and then live, with this king himself as bait, in order to lure them to the bait." ”
"But the high city lord can rest assured, no matter how dangerous it is, this king will stay in Sandbank City to boost morale."
"Your Majesty is mighty. The old minister will live up to the emperor's expectations and go all out to maintain the stability of Shazhou City. ”
"Very good, in the next half month, it will be hard for the high city lord."
"The duty of the minister, dare not speak hard."
Gao Yunshan left, Giselle hurriedly walked in, and behind her, followed by a figure also wearing battle armor and sweating on his face, Yan General returned.
"See Your Majesty."
Liu Qingshan approached, helped Yan Jiang up, helped her try the sweat on her face, and said, "Yan Jiang, thank you for your hard work." ”
Yan Jiang didn't care about appealing and said warmly, looked at Liu Qingshan and said: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous for you to do this, millions of island couges, like locusts, everywhere they go, there is no grass, they broke through Manchester City, it simply turned Manchester City into hell, once Shazhou City changes, I am afraid that it will be the same as Manchester City, and suffer the most painful experience." ”
Liu Qingshan said: "Yan General, it is a flaw deliberately given by this king, the other party seems to have smart people, but this is also the opportunity of this king and the empire, otherwise it will not be possible to gather and annihilate it, these islands are ultimately the scourge of the empire, and the next development of the empire is to open the sea and extend the sea, and the existence of these islands is quite troublesome." ”
"To exchange a sandbar for such an opportunity, this king must do this."
General Yan said: "Your Majesty, in fact, their real target is you. ”
"Then it's even more worry-free, the body of the demigod of this emperor, how can they be delusional, Yan General, I have already ordered that the major armies in the south urgently shrink the encirclement, and they must leave these millions of people behind."
General Yan asked: "Just now Giselle said that even the Boxers and the country have colluded with the island bandits, so now, it is two million people-----"
Liu Qingshan said: "The Boxers in such a short period of time, the expansion of the army, there is really no need to worry, those ordinary people, just for the righteous tyrant innocent sacrifice, this is different from the island Kou, to the island Kou, absolutely can not be merciful, the king's plan is to kill half, catch half, have tens of thousands of labor, can also create countless value for the empire." ”
These islanders will not be killed all, arrested, until they die, it can be regarded as compensation for the sins they have committed, there are some dangerous industries in the empire, and these people are needed, don't care about their life and death, only care about the result.
"According to the speed of the other party's march, you can reach Shazhou City tomorrow, one of you commands the Praetorian Guards, and one of you commands the city guards, the task is heavy, the safety of this king, but I will leave it to you, go and rest first, and prepare for the fiercest battle tomorrow."
Daokou has already entered the set, both sides feel that this is an opportunity, they want to kill Liu Qingshan, the emperor, the foundation of the Divine Dragon Empire, the importance of Liu Qingshan at the moment, extraordinary, as long as he dies, the imperial power of the Divine Dragon Empire disappears, maybe there will be ambitious people who have whimsical ideas, no one can say clearly.
Especially in the army, Liu Qingshan's existence is a high mountain, as long as Liu Qingshan is alive, no one has the courage to move his crooked heart, but he is gone, who can guarantee that his ambition will not be touched.
The change in human nature is very much to be expected.
And for Liu Qingshan, this is also an opportunity he deliberately created, gather the island Kou together, annihilate them in groups, as long as they stick to Shazhou City, the tight southern legion will form the strongest encirclement around Shazhou City, at that time, the big thing will be done, now it depends on whether the tall city of Shazhou City can block the most fierce attack of the other party.
Although the women were worried, Liu Qingshan was still calm, how to say that the current situation was much better than when the two million army of the Demon Kingdom attacked Xiaolong City, it was a battle to destroy the country back then, and now even if Shazhou City is destroyed, as long as Liu Qingshan is alive, it will definitely not shake the foundation of the empire.
However, Liu Qingshan wanted to take a look, and the smart people among these island robbers must have also discovered his plan, but they still rushed over so recklessly, could it be that they were really 100% sure that they would not be able to kill him in Shazhou City.
For Liu Qingshan, the biggest enemy is the evil demons of the dark abyss, as for these island robbers, he really didn't care about them before, although because these island robbers have lived on overseas islands for many years, Shadow Guard can't get more information, so Liu Qingshan doesn't know enough about the island bandits, but no matter what, this battle has already kicked off, regret it or not, this battle is going to happen, so you can only face it calmly.
Compared with the Boxer Kingdom and the Zhongnan Empire, the island coars were the biggest scourge of the empire's rule over the south.
They advance and retreat freely, although the empire has now formed a naval team, but its strength cannot be improved all of a sudden, so it is impossible to exterminate them one by one, and in this way, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Otherwise, Liu Qingshan would not have done such a dangerous thing and put himself in danger.
It was already late at night, Liu Qingshan fell asleep, holding the fragrant flowers, his mood was quite calm, and those who knew that the war was coming, and those who couldn't sleep, were two completely different situations.
Sifu, Yan General, Giselle, did not sleep, they knew that this battle must be menacing, at this time they dispatched troops and stationed in the city, in case the weak points were broken through, and patrolled everywhere, checked for leaks, and made the best preparations before the war, not for themselves, but for the men behind them.
And Gao Yunshan did not sleep, mobilizing the people of the city government, cooperating with the actions of the army, war materials, moving in batches, the night was miserable, and it could not stop the frenzy of the war.
Sifu has more to do, the man is fearless, but she has to make a lot of preparations, once the battle situation changes, she can deal with arrangements such as breaking through, this is the last moment, there is no way, no matter what, the safety of the Emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire must be guaranteed, this is the most important thing.
Even if a few of their daughters die, they will not hesitate.
However, what made Sifu happy was that she used the name of the imperial concubine to privately mobilize the two major armies mobilized by the emperor's order, and according to the schedule, she could enter the city early tomorrow morning, which was a step faster than the million locust island kou, which was a great luck in misfortune.
