The soldiers sent out to ask for help have been going back and forth for a month.

When the veterans rushed back to Yanran City, Yanran City was already dilapidated at this moment.

Many of the familiar faces are missing.

"Little Liuzi, you're finally back!"

In the city, when they saw the veterans who had returned, everyone was overjoyed.

Xiao Liuzi came back, which means that the other party has brought the letter.

Now that he is back, he thinks that the army will be able to arrive soon.

"How's it going, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Qi Shizhong had already added a few wounds to his body, and he also had a deep wound on his face, almost not hurting his eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi's lips moved, and finally smiled, "It will take some time, the army is not so fast, and it will take those big officials to discuss before the holy decree will be issued." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed in their hearts, and they did not doubt him.

For things like the mobilization of the army, the people above will indeed delay for some time.

They are all used to this kind of thing, and they only feel that the army is coming.

"Come, here's a little bit of food I brought back first, everyone eat something good these days! And those horses were also killed, everyone opened the meat! ”

Xiao Liuzi said with a smile, and pointed to the war horse on the side.

"Turtle son, can this war horse be killed?"

When Qi Shizhong heard this, he immediately slapped his head and scolded with a smile.

Seeing that he had brought back so much food, his heart was already extremely happy.

To be honest, Yan Ran City has run out of food in the past few days, and with the food brought back by the other party, it makes people feel hopeful again.

"It's okay, this horse was secretly brought to me, if you don't eat it, where will it be left for us when the reinforcements come, take it away directly, eat it now, and then say that you will die on the road."

Xiao Liuzi said with a smile, but his heart was trembling.

It's already this time, what's the use of keeping this war horse?

After the city was broken, the horse was only given to the enemy.

The people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and after thinking about it, it made sense, anyway, if they were to take it away, it would be better for them to eat it!

Thinking of this, a group of people suddenly had green lights in their eyes.

Qi Shizhong thought about it and nodded.

These soldiers followed him, although reinforcements were coming soon, but how many of these brothers would survive to that time?

With that in mind, what about letting them eat something good?

Thinking of this, Qi Shizhong nodded directly, "Okay, kill the horse!" Something good for everyone! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered, and the soldiers who were originally 500 people were now only more than 100 people.

"Little Liuzi, go and call Mu Tian and call him to eat together."

"Okay, where are the others?"

Xiao Liuzi responded happily.

"It should be on the city wall, his brother just died in battle."

Hearing the question, the person who spoke was silent for a moment, and then whispered.

Xiao Liuzi's face stiffened when he heard this, and his originally cheerful smile stiffened at this time.

Someone else died in battle...

Xiao Liuzi only felt a little sad, guarding the city of Chengzhou Kingdom, but no one cared about their life or death at all.

"General, so many people have died, don't ask those Jurchens what they are here for? If it's for the caravan's stuff, give it to them! ”

Xiao Liuzi couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately gritted his teeth and said.

It's time to go, if you don't make some choices, Yanran City will be gone!

If the caravan's things can be exchanged for the lives of these people, why not do it?

Qi Shizhong shook his head when he heard this, "I asked Juzhen Kusar before, he didn't just come for the caravan's things. ”

If he could, he didn't want his soldiers to die in battle, there were only a hundred or so left.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to wait for the day when reinforcements would come.

But the Jurchen guys are not just staring at the caravan at all, but also these people in the city, who want to plunder their rations, and also want to reduce their own population and reduce the pressure.

When Xiao Liuzi heard this, the last glimmer of hope was shattered.

After making peace, he went to the city wall to find someone.

......

Seonghan Castle.

At this moment, Xinghan City has stepped into the right track, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

There is also frequent good news from all over the country.

This year, most of the arable land has been cultivated, and workshops are also being built.

In some places, there was already a profit, and money began to be paid from all over the country.

There is also income from the veins in various places.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, as long as this progress continues, a small breakthrough can be achieved in the economic recovery of the territory of Seonghan City this year.

Lu Chensheng looked at the music in various places, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.

finally saw such a little good news on these notes, which made Lu Chensheng quite pleased.

Under the main hall, the number of ministers has increased a lot compared to the previous time, and they have all increased these days.

After passing the examination and Du Rufang's selection, they are all quite talented Confucian students who want to display their ambitions here.

"Urgent!"

In the main hall, the ministers all looked at Lu Chensheng above and watched the music, and they didn't dare to disturb Lu Chensheng at this time.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound outside, and then a guard hurried into the main hall and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, there is an urgent report outside the Saiwai, the city of Yanran outside the city of Chengzhou has been besieged for more than a month, and the country of Chengzhou has no intention of sending troops to rescue."

Lu Chensheng was holding the song in his hand, and his palm couldn't help but shake when he heard the news.

"Yanran City is the city of Chengzhou Kingdom, why doesn't the other party send troops?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, with a bit of anger on his face.

"After investigation, I am afraid that we still have the vassal king in the country, and the Chengzhou State is now empty in the treasury, and he is not willing to face the Jurchen clan."

The guard hurriedly replied.

"Bang!"

Lu Chensheng slapped the table suddenly, his face was full of coldness, "It's a good Chengzhou country, and his own people are unwilling to come to the rescue, and there are so many reasons!" ”

"My lord, now that Xinghan City is booming, the treasury is not full, Yanran City is not the territory of Xinghan City, so you can't send troops!"

As soon as the ministers below saw Lu Chensheng's appearance, they immediately understood what Lu Chensheng meant.

I'm afraid that the adults want to send troops to rescue Yanran City.

It's just that this move is very inappropriate, and this city is not the territory of Xinghan City, and it is not a rich place.

Spending money, effort and time to rescue this place is not beneficial to them at all, but there is still a certain danger, such a decision is really a bit irrational.

The current state of Xinghan City is exactly what it should be developed, and it only takes some time, and the overall national strength of Xinghan City can be doubled several times, and it must not be interrupted.
