Chapter 80: Impact
Xiangcheng, because of the flames of war, the merchants who come and go here are afraid of being affected by the war, so they naturally can't avoid it, there are fewer businessmen who come and go, and there are many people in the city who have gone to seek refuge with distant relatives, so that the second largest city in Chu has lost the prosperous and lively scene of the past, there are many shops in the street market are closed, and there are few pedestrians on the wide road, which seems a little lonely and desolate.
As a border state, Xiangzhou naturally experienced the impact of war, but in the past, because of the Qin king's defense, it did not cause such a panic, and the Qin king did not live up to the trust of the people, and never let the war affect Xiangzhou.
But this time is different from the past, it is not that the people do not trust the King of Qin, but that Wei Liang is attacking together, and it is menacing, even the King of Qin is difficult to care about.
In fact, it was precisely like this that the prince of Qin led a large army to resist the Wei army, and they were not worried about the enemy army on this road. However, the Liang State took the opportunity to raise 300,000 troops to attack, while the Chu army that resisted the Liang army was only more than 100,000, 100,000 against 300,000, which was an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, and the two were brave and good at fighting, which made a thick layer of dark clouds shroud over Xiangcheng, and there was a tendency of wind and rain to come, which made people panic.
And many people make plans for the sake of their own lives. The other people who remained in the city may have nowhere to go, or they may believe that their patron saint King Qin can turn the tide, protect the city from Xiangcheng, and protect their safety, or they may be looking forward to a miracle, such as the death of the lord of the Liang Kingdom, and the Liang army had to withdraw......
Although there is little hope, how can there be less hope in life?
Of course, the worst result is just to change a county official, a state official, and a different identity.
In response to the sentence "the people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering," in the world of strife, it is always the people who suffer, and the most innocent are also the people.
In the Qin Palace, Xuan Ya rushed into the county lord's room in a hurry, saw the peerless beauty who had added a lot of bright colors to the whole room, and said, "County lord, there is a battle report from the front line. ”
"Which way?" Qin Qingyao asked without raising his head.
"The county lord might as well guess." Xuanya said with a mischievous smile on the corner of her mouth.
Qin Qingyao put down the book in her hand, looked up at her lightly, and said, "There are still a lot of clothes in the backyard that have not been washed......"
"Don't, I said, I said, it's Chen Gongzi's way." Xuanya shrunk her neck and hurriedly presented the battle report in her hand to Qin Qingyao.
"Judging by the way you look, this should be good news?" Qin Qingyao said, and the crystal delicate little hand that received the battle report trembled slightly.
Although her expression was faint and her tone was no different from just now, Xuanya, who had been with her for many years, still heard a kind of nervousness from it.
The county lord was very nervous, but he was still nervous when he saw his happy appearance, and he could obviously guess that this was good news, what did it mean? It shows that the county lord is worried about him, and he is very worried and worried, how much he cares about him!
Chen Gongzi is really lucky, lucky to make people jealous, but thinking of the content of the battle report, Xuanya feels that Chen Gongzi deserves to have such luck and is worthy of being the county lord.
nodded, and gave the county lord an affirmative reply: "Is it good news, or good news that will surprise the county lord." ”
"Oh?" Qin Qingyao didn't hesitate when she heard this, opened the letter in her hand and read it, at first, Gu Jingwubo's beautiful face was slowly covered with joy, and she smiled at the city, and then smiled at the mountains and rivers, making people reluctant to look away.
After putting down the letter, she was a little angry and muttered, "Hmph! After so long, I don't know if I can write a letter to me and report peace, is there me in my heart? Don't know how worried I am about you? ”
At this time, Xuan Su walked in and also presented a letter to Qin Qingyao: "County Lord, Son's letter." ”
I really wanted to come to something, Qin Qingyao's eyes flashed with excitement, and she hurriedly took the letter and read it, seeing that the most sincere feelings of longing expressed in the most simple words were so touching and intoxicating, her eyes instantly turned into tenderness, she was the same as him, she really wanted to see him!
picked up the battle report just now and handed it to Xuan Su, and his red lips lightly opened: "Give this battle report to Yu County Order, he will understand what to do." ”
"Yes."
Murong Yan also received the battle report, and she couldn't help but exclaim after reading it: "Rui'er is really the dragon and phoenix among people, and she deserves to be my sister's son." Looks like I'm underestimating him! ”
The Liang army pressed the border, and the county government was also extremely busy, although there were only dozens of fast catchers, but they were all sent out by Yu County to help the city defense army strengthen the city defense, help carry rolling wood, boulders, fire oil, etc., and wait for the Liang army.
Yu Xianling, who was sitting in the county hall dealing with official documents, had a sad face on his face, he hadn't slept well for several days, and the dark circles on his eyes were very heavy.
The 200,000 troops that suddenly appeared in the Liang army really caught the Chu State off guard.
I thought that the Liang army was 100,000, with 100,000 against 100,000, plus the border army, it would not be a disadvantage, but Liang Guo did not talk about morality at all, and secretly hid 200,000 troops.
After all, the first target of the Liang army is Xiangcheng, although he still has the state capital on his head, and there is the Qin Wangfu above the state capital, but the rise and fall of the country is the unshirkable responsibility of everyone in this country.
What's more, he is an official of the imperial court, and his old Yu family is favored by the emperor, and it is his unshirkable responsibility to report to the emperor and protect the people.
Unsurprisingly, today is another sad day! However, it is expected that it is often out when it is not out, and the official messenger led Xuan Su in, and Yu County Ling was very surprised to see Xuan Su, how could the county lord's people come here?
There was not much greeting after the ceremony, Xuan Su directly handed over the battle report to Yu County Order, Yu County Order's brows twisted into a cluster instantly relaxed, and his face also turned into ecstasy, and he excitedly ordered: "Paperwork, quickly write this war report into the city notice and post it all over the city for me." ”
"That Duke Yu, our county government hasn't caught it soon, who will be sent to post it?" The clerk said weakly.
Yu Xian Ling slapped his head angrily, and said with hatred: "Won't you go and call them back?" ”
All of a sudden, the catchers, who had not been patrolling the city for several days, appeared in the streets and alleys, and posted notices in various crowd places in the city.
Although the population of the city has decreased a lot due to the scourge of war, there are still a lot of them, and they are still curious to surround them when they see the notice posted quickly, and after a while, many people gathered.
When the literate people read it, their faces turned red and they almost jumped with excitement.
Under the curious questioning of the illiterate people, they answered the contents of the notice one by one, and the people around them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but cheer.
One spread ten, ten spread hundred, less than half an hour, the good news spread all over Xiangcheng, the whole Xiangcheng people heard that there was a general named Chen Rui in front of the Liang army, or 30,000 to win 300,000 to win more with less, so that the Liang army retreated to Luoyin City, this exciting news, suddenly, as if the dark clouds pressed above the city were blown away by the wind, there was a sense of seeing the sun, the whole city seemed to be happy to provoke a dance.
When the army of Liangguo was pressing, they didn't know how depressed they were, after all, war is going to kill people, and they have to worry about their life and death all the time, even if they can choose to surrender, of course, they can only surrender when there is no way, but who knows if the Liang army will kill the people, will it slaughter the city?
But now, it's all because of this person named Chen Rui, because of his wisdom and courage, he helped them save their lives.
Although they don't know who this is, they are very grateful to him, grateful to him for guarding Xiangcheng and guarding them, although the status in their hearts is not as good as that of King Qin, but it is not far behind.
In fact, for the people, they can't manage a lot, and they don't have the ability to manage a lot, and their only hope is to live well.
After Luo Jingkun, the Duke of Chengguo, heard the news, he immediately found Luo Wen and strictly ordered him not to provoke Chen Rui in the future, and avoid him when he saw him.
Luo Wen was a little dissatisfied at first, he would never dare to provoke Chen Rui, because the people of Qingjin Sect had no news, what does this mean? It shows that the people of Qingjin Sect are probably more auspicious, but why is he avoiding him? He is a dignified prince of the country, and he is not one of those people in the rivers and lakes who can't see the light, what does he dare to do to himself?
But soon he lost these thoughts, only horror remained, because after learning about this, he thought that he had been a chivalrous man who 'killed one person in ten steps and did not stay for a thousand miles', and after the baptism of war, he killed dozens of times his own enemy army, what is this Shura who came out of hell? There seems to be nothing wrong with such a person hiding from him......
Xiangzhou Don't drive Tian Mo also explained to Tian Guangliang with the same words, although his Tian family is not weak, but such a person is still not an enemy.
It seems that he has already become an enemy, but it doesn't matter, he can resolve the grievances while they are not deep!
