Chapter Two Hundred and Two

An Qingchen rushed to the place where the 100,000 garrison army was encamped, and An Mingxia was already waiting here. Romance first [Sui_Meng] novel www.mะตng.lฤ Qingchen felt that he might be the most unlike queen in the history of the Great Zhou, and he was always alone, without a large retinue, and without a car to drive Fengluan. An Mingxia was not surprised when she saw An Qingchen, who came singlely: "Congratulations to the queen!" โ€

Her father, the god of war of the Great Zhou, was dressed in a battle robe, standing in front of the 100,000 army, with a little less immortal wind and more killing energy. The 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Zhou, dressed in ink-colored armor, were slaughtered under the scorching sun.

An Qingchen walked towards the army and said, "Welcome to the queen!" "The sky of Kyoto resounds. Qingchen was shocked by the arrogance of this dry cloud, opened his mouth, injected true qi into his voice, and said loudly: "The soldiers of the Great Zhou! โ€

"Yes!" The army suddenly thundered.

"Soldiers of the Great Zhou, the rebels have begun to attack the city. Zhou Yun He was also a child of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a royal bloodline, but he made the lives miserable and the people suffered for his own selfish interests, as the warriors of the Great Zhou, we did not allow others to trample on our homes and kill our wives and children. I, An Qingchen, swear in front of the warriors of the Great Zhou today: I swear to live and die with Kyoto! โ€

"Swear to live and die with Kyoto! Swear to live and die with Kyoto! The earth-shattering shouts filled the whole of Kyoto with tragedy.

An Mingxia waved the battle flag and began to arrange defense, while An Qingchen climbed the high platform for military training, condescending, and watched the soldiers of the Great Zhou rush to the city gates. The rebels attacked the west gate first, and An Mingxia sent a team of 5,000 people to rush to the west gate first......

An Mingxia followed, and Qingchen was about to follow, but was pressed by An Mingxia with one hand, and said: "The queen's noble body, don't go to the battlefield lightly, just go to the palace and wait." What the queen has to do now is to stabilize the dynasty and keep the emperor's bloodline. โ€

Qingchen nodded and said, "Okay, my daughter listens to her father." Father himself has to take care! "Watching An Mingxia leave. Qingchen got up and returned to the Forbidden Palace.

Before An Mingxia approached, he saw that there were dead and wounded on the West City Gate, and Zhou Yun was very familiar with the terrain of Kyoto. The West Gate is a low-lying part of Kyoto, and the high ground beyond the gate is extremely advantageous to the besiegers, and the enemy's use of oil-soaked rockets clearly indicates that there are many flammable materials on the west side......

An Mingxia immediately ascended to the city gate. Ordered the crossbowmen to prepare, although the siege soldiers on the high ground occupy the geographical advantage, but at the same time there is a fatal drawback, the goal is too obvious, An Mingxia before the enemy army attacked the city, has already done a careful study of the advantages and disadvantages of the four major gates of Kyoto, according to their respective characteristics, together with Fu Tianling agreed on different strategies to deal with the enemy, and to deal with the rebels outside the west gate, is to use crossbowmen.

A group of crossbowmen went up to the wall. Each found a good place to cover, An Mingxia gave an order, and hundreds of strong crossbows flew out "whoosh", and the enemy camp suddenly screamed again and again, and the offensive momentum was immediately blocked. An Mingxia did not wait for the other party to react, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to prepare again, and the "whoosh" was another rain of arrows, which caught the enemy off guard.

Zhou Yun, who was riding on a war horse in the distance, saw this scene, his face turned cold, and he led the generals to wave the battle flag. The besieging soldiers suddenly retreated like a tidal wave. The Great Zhou God of War really lived up to his reputation, and with just one move, he repelled them, and it seems that he can't attack them today. Zhou Yun made a gesture, and the soldiers immediately understood, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. Zhou Yun ordered to return to the camp to study the countermeasures and fight again.

For seven days in a row, the rebels moved from the west gate to the east gate, and from the south gate to the north gate. The offensive was extremely aggressive. But no matter how many people the enemy sent to attack the city, and how ingenious the methods used, they were all resolved one by one by An Mingxia, and the Kyoto of the Great Zhou was firmly in his hands.

On the eighth day, the rebels finally changed their tactics and stopped attacking. For the next five days, the rebels did not attack the city again. An Mingxia began to worry, it seemed that Zhou Yun wanted to starve them to death in the city. There is not much food in the city, and now it is necessary to feed and drink the 100,000 army, although they have been prepared, but if Zhou Yun wants to starve them to death, they have nothing to do.

On the fifth day, the grain and grass in the army were urgent, Qingchen ordered the household department to urgently requisition civilian grain stocks, and ordered the forbidden palace, from the queen mother to the palace maid, to halve the daily food supply per person, and transfer food to support the defenders.

Despite this, the collected food could only last for another three days, and after three days, not only the military rations, but also the rations of the common people would be exhausted......

Just when Qingchen was worried, bad news came one after another. The guards of the prison came to report that Liu Ruyuan disappeared for no reason on the fifth watch yesterday, but there was no trace of the prison being invaded; Tobe sent someone to report that the water level of the moat, the only river flowing into Kyoto, was dropping sharply......

Qingchen ordered an emergency court meeting to discuss countermeasures. The pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in the hall, but they were silent.

"All the adults are the humerus of my Great Zhou, and the current situation, everyone is also looking at it, we have defended Kyoto, but the rebels have begun to use some despicable means to force us to surrender, I don't know what countermeasures your ministers have?"

There was still a dead silence below. Qingchen is furious, this is the so-called pillar, he is arrogant on weekdays, and he becomes a stuffy gourd when he encounters something.

Qingchen spoke again: "Okay, maybe everyone thinks that there are too many things to start, so let's discuss them one by one?" First of all, let's talk about the problem of the falling water level of the moat, I wonder what you think? โ€

At this time, someone finally spoke, and Qingchen saw that it was a young official from the household department, named Liu Beiwang, who had vaguely met a few times: "Weichen thinks that the water of the moat can no longer be used?" โ€

"Oh, reasonable?"

"The moat is the only source of water in Kyoto, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a drop in the water level, the moat has become shallow at this time, it must be the hands and feet of the rebels, King Rui was born in Kyoto, I think that the understanding of Kyoto is no less than that of the adults present, must know the importance of the moat to Kyoto. Since he can make the water of the moat shallow, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not poison the water, so Weichen feels that this water can no longer be used! โ€

Qingchen nodded and said, "Lord Liu is reasonable. Don't know if there is a good way to deal with it? โ€

Liu Beiwang arched his hand, and continued: "There are many wells in Kyoto, which can temporarily relieve the urgency of water. And it is necessary to immediately issue a circular to warn the people of the river water, and even if it is to be used, it must first be drunk by the livestock. โ€

Unexpectedly, this Liu Beiwang is not very old, but his mind is very meticulous.

"Hubu Liu Beiwang listens to the order!"

"The minister is here!"

"You take the edict of the palace and immediately go to the city gates to announce the decree, so that everyone should stop drinking the water of the moat, especially to notify General An first, and be sure to ensure the food safety of the army defending the city."

Liu Beiwang glanced at the empress of the Great Zhou, and said in a firm voice: "The minister's order!" And he hurried away.

Qingchen glanced at the dead court again, and said, "Second question: grain and grass." Ladies and gentlemen, now we are in a boat, if this boat capsizes, none of us can be spared, if this boat is here, this palace will protect everyone for the rest of their lives to be prosperous and rich! Now the grain and grass in Kyoto can only support three more days, there will be no food in the city after three days, if you have excess grain and grass at home, can you donate part of it, as military rations, if you win this battle, you are the hero of the Great Zhou, can go down in history, go down in history! โ€

After speaking, Qingchen looked at the top of the two rows of people below, holding his breath and waiting. Finally, someone stepped forward and said, "The minister is willing to donate all the surplus food at home!" โ€

Immediately afterwards, another person stood up: "The minister is also willing to donate the surplus food at home!" โ€

"The minister is also willing to ......"

"The minister is willing!"

Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, ordered the names of these ministers to be written down one by one, and said, "You are all heroes of the Great Zhou. โ€

The ministers below were cold in their hearts, this queen is too hard to think about, sure enough, things gather in kind, people in groups, what kind of emperor there is, what kind of queen will there be, and even get worse......

Qingchen returned to Fengxiang Palace, Empress Dowager Liu waited at the door, and when she saw Qingchen, she immediately stepped forward and said: "I heard that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Beijing, and there are still some medicinal materials here in the mourning family, you send someone to take it and give it to the wounded soldiers." โ€

Qingchen looked at the obviously old Empress Dowager Liu, with mixed feelings in her heart, the noble woman who once snuggled up to Emperor Yongsu and coquettishly became so sensible for the sake of her son......

"I thank the queen mother for the Great Zhou soldiers!"

At this time, the palace people hurriedly came to report, saying that they had brought the general's handwritten letter and handed it to the queen's mother. Qingchen hurriedly took it, unfolded it and took a look, and suddenly his face changed greatly,

Seeing that Qingchen's face was not good, Empress Dowager Liu asked, "Empress, what's the matter?" โ€

Qingchen's body shook and almost fell, but the quick-eyed palace people hurriedly helped her. Qingchen squeezed his father's handwriting tightly, and his knuckles were white: "Father took 5,000 light cavalry and planned to go around behind enemy lines and attack the rebels secretly.
