Suzhou, the palace of Anjun County

"Lord Wang, fourth brother."

Yu Long wore a blue satin thunder cloud pattern long jacket and a dark purple and silver line pine and bamboo cloak into Han Xin's study, he put the letter in his hand on the table, and took a big breath: "Don't worry about Your Majesty calling the fourth brother back to Chang'an." ”

"What's going on?" Han Xin and Qi Jing, who were discussing things, were taken aback.

Yu Long frowned: "The battle report just got, the Emperor of Northern Liang led the army to conquer in person, and now he has surrounded Chang'an. ”

"What?" Han Xin and Qi Jing both stood up when they heard this: "When did it happen, how many days have you been around now?" ”

"The siege was five days ago, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid that Chang'an can't hold it anymore." Yu Long smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You also know how Chang'an's armament is, three years ago, the forbidden army began to wear paper armor, let alone now." ”

"I'm afraid it's true, I'm afraid it's broken." Han Xin sat down on the chair, pinching the armrest with his right hand, and his nails were almost pinched into the wood: "Pity the nearly one million people in Chang'an." ”

Qi Jing's heart was also heavy and uncomfortable, and he looked at Han Xin: "Lord Wang, what are we going to do now?" ”

"What else?" Han Xin supported his forehead with his left hand: "We can only do our best, pass the order, immediately prepare the soldiers of Suzhou, and send troops to Chang'an to rescue." ”

"Okay." Qi Jing did not object, stood up and said, "I'll go count the grain and grass and sort out the equipment." ”

Yu Long arched his hand: "I'll order all the soldiers and horses." ”

Han Xin waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Qi Jing and Yu Long were just about to leave, but they heard a low and hoarse voice: "Slow." ”

The two stood together, and saw Qi Bao coming in with a light purple dark pattern satin jacket and skirt, and a feather satin gown on the outside, she saluted Han Xin, and turned back and said: "Be sure to leave some people to guard Suzhou, I'm afraid that Xidi will take advantage of the situation." ”

As soon as Han Xin heard this, he immediately sat up straight, and his face was stern: "Yes, if we rescue Chang'an, I'm afraid that something will happen to Xidi." ”

Qi Jing smiled when he heard this: "It's right to keep some people and horses, but I think that Sidi won't have an accident now." ”

"What's going on?" Han Xin asked.

Qi Baobox understood after a little thought, and smiled at Han Xin: "Have you forgotten, since this summer, we have sent people to Xidi's side to start provoking Xidi's monarchs and ministers, and now Uncle Xidi and Empress Dowager Li are not on good terms, fighting all day long, plus this year, not only our Great Zhou has a big disaster, but the disaster on Xidi's side is not small, I'm afraid they can't afford to go east." ”

"Yes." Han Xin then remembered this matter, and suddenly smiled: "I forgot, in this way, I can rest assured." ”

He got up: "This time I will gallop with you to help Chang'an, and you will each go back and prepare, and set off in two days." ”

Yu Long and Qi Jing hurriedly agreed, and then turned around and left after saluting Han Xin.

Qi Jing came out of the Anjun Mansion and parted ways with Yu Long to return home, Qi Jing was anxious, went back to find Yun Yao, and when he entered the house, he didn't say a word, let alone make any sound, and said hurriedly as soon as he lifted the cotton curtain: "Yaoyao, you immediately tidy up my packing ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Jing found that Dr. Meng, Mrs. Zhou, Fan Wu and Yan Niang were all in the house, and they walked out with their heads down.

Yun Yao hurriedly got up and chased outside and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Jing stood in the courtyard and frowned: "You also put on thick clothes before going out, it's so cold today, you are not afraid of freezing when you come out like this." ”

While speaking, Qi Jing held Yun Yao's hand and whispered: "I just got the letter, the Emperor of Northern Liang drove the expedition in person, and now he has surrounded Chang'an, the prince wants to send troops to rescue, I think, I will probably follow." ”

"You are a civil official, why do you want to follow?" Yun Yao asked a little puzzled.

Qi Jing laughed: "Although I am a civil official, I have not lost my martial arts, and when it comes to marching and fighting, I am not worse than those generals, so I naturally want to go with me to protect the prince." ”

Yun Yao thought about it, so she nodded: "Then I'll help you sort out your things, by the way, when will you leave?" ”

"Two days later." Qi Jing rubbed Yun Yao's hands: "Time is in a hurry, you just need to bring a few thick clothes, and then bring some useful things, and you don't need to prepare the others." ”

"Okay."

Yun Yao agreed, and Qi Jing pushed her into the house: "Hurry up and enter the house, it's uncomfortable to stay for a while again." ”

Waiting for Yun Yao to enter the house, Qi Jing went to the yamen to arrange, Suzhou's grain, grass and armaments are all under his control, it is not easy to prepare within two days, and Qi Jing will have to stay up late.

Yun Yao had just entered the room here, and Fan Wu asked anxiously, "Is something wrong?" ”

Yan Niang also looked at Yun Yao, she and Fan Wu had been calculating day by day these days, and they had already expected what had happened, and both of them were in a very heavy mood.

Yun Yao sat down with a bit of bitterness on her face: "Something is wrong, Beiliang is besieging the city, and Chang'an is in an emergency." ”

In just one sentence, several women present stood up in shock, and Mrs. Zhou and Dr. Meng were even more shocked and their faces changed: "Chang'an is surrounded? This, how is this possible? ”

Yun Yao smiled bitterly: "How is it impossible, to say something that I don't like, our majesty is so mediocre and incompetent, not to mention that the Emperor of Beiliang is still a little talented, even if he is usually afraid of the idea of Da Zhou, now, Da Zhou is a piece of fat in the eyes of all countries, or a piece of fat meat that is easy to bite, you say, Beiliang has endured it for so many years, and he can't bite a few bites at this time." ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, Mrs. Zhou said: "The master of my family is afraid that he will also lead troops to the battle, so I will leave first." ”

Yun Yao personally sent her out of the house, and when she came back, she saw Fan Wu's face pale, and she thought straight in her mouth: "My uncle's family is still in Chang'an......

Yan Niang's face was also very bad, she sat in the chair and didn't know what she was thinking.

Even Doctor Meng was a little flustered with a look on his face: "If Chang'an City is not guaranteed, then what can we do after the Great Zhou?" ”

"yes." Yan Niang also said: "Your Majesty, the princes, princesses, princes, and many ministers all live in Chang'an, and the Great Zhou doesn't know how many rich families have also settled in Chang'an, and if they are really broken by the Northern Liang, the Great Zhou is in danger." ”

Fan Wu's face turned even paler: "Beiliang has always been cruel, if the city is really broken, I'm afraid that there will be no one in the city." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more panicked and worried.

Fan Wu and Yan Niang both knew what the outcome of this war would be, so they were naturally frightened, Dr. Meng had seen more from south to north, and he also understood what would happen to the war together, and he also had an accurate number in his heart.

However, when it comes to those who really understand the war, these three are not as good as Yun Yao.

You must know that Yun Yao is a grandmaster-level weapon design master, to be a great weapon design master, you must first understand war, Yun Yao first looked at almost all the war video materials since ancient times, and she has a deep understanding of war.

She understands more in her heart that according to the temperament of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Liang Dynasty, if Chang'an is breached, children will be killed, women will be ****, and few young and strong men will be able to live, and the people of Chang'an City will suffer the huge unbearable sorrow and suffering imposed on their heads by the enemy country.

And what caused this qiē was Emperor Chengping, who sat high on the throne in Chang'an City.

Because of the incompetence of Emperor Chengping, the Northern Liang monarchs and ministers were ambitious, so they would besiege Chang'an.

Because Emperor Chengping ceded Yanzhou, exposing Chang'an to the enemy's butcher's knife, and allowing Northern Liang to enter Chang'an through Guò Jinzhou as quickly as possible, and ceding Yanzhou, it was equivalent to Emperor Chengping sending the neck of the Great Zhou State to the enemy's knife to be slaughtered.

At this moment, Yun Yao's hatred for Emperor Chengping was the deepest, and she was also worried about Princess Changle who was far away in Chang'an.

Princess Changle is the first female friend Yun Yao made after coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty who is not a relative, although Princess Changle is a lady of the sky, but she is pure and strong, and Yun Yao's temperament is also very similar, Yun Yao often got together with Princess Changle when she was in Chang'an earlier.

Later, Yun Yao arrived in Suzhou, and from time to time to send a letter to Princess Changle, sometimes she would send some Suzhou specialties, and Princess Changle often asked people to send some native products of Chang'an, and sometimes she would send some fashionable cloth heads, and the communication between the two people was not broken for a while.

At this time, Yun Yao thought of Princess Changle, thinking that Princess Changle was young and beautiful, and she was a princess, if the city was broken...... Don't know what to suffer.

Her heart tightened and relaxed, and she was anxious and uncomfortable.

Yun Yao clenched her fists: "Chang'an City must not be breached, otherwise millions of innocent people will suffer such a disaster." ”

Doctor Meng nodded: "I'm afraid that all the state capitals have also received the letter, so it should be ...... I'll send someone. ”

Dr. Meng was very hesitant to say this, and she was afraid that those officials in the state capital would not dare to send people for life and death.

Fan Wu smiled bitterly at this time: "I'm afraid that except for Suzhou and Shuzhou, which will send troops, it will be difficult for other state capitals." ”

Yan Niang was thinking at this time, how could she catch up, how could she stop it? In the last life, Chang'an was besieged and broken in six days, such a strong city, it turned out that there were Great Zhou courtiers in the city who abandoned their families and opened the city gate to the Northern Liang army, heh, it's really a joke.

"What if ......" Yan Niang thought that she was the only one of the four who knew what the situation was, so she said in her heart: "What if Chang'an has been captured by the Northern Liang when our Suzhou army arrives in Chang'an?" ”

"Won't it?"

Yun Yao and Doctor Meng exclaimed at the same time: "Chang'an City is so strong, where can it be broken in a moment and a half, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky without a single month to capture Chang'an." ”

Ran Fan Wu nodded: "I don't think it's too difficult, Chang'an City has a large population, and there are people from Beiliang living in Baoqi, what if they quietly open the city gate?" ”

Yun Yao instantly changed color: "Maybe it's possible." ”

She stood up and walked out: "I have to go to the yamen to talk to Xianggong and tell him to be more prepared......

After walking a few steps, Yun Yao turned around again: "No, if Chang'an is occupied by Beiliang, no matter how much preparation is made, I will ...... This time, I will follow them to Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
