The war was about to break out so soon, which caught Su Ziheng a little off guard.

Seeing that there were still two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Ziheng would have thought that the Mengyuan Empire would not send troops until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect the Great Khan of Meng Ke to be so anxious that he didn't even want to wait a few more days.

Almost as soon as the news of the robbery and killing of Meng Yuan and his pro-envoy group reached the Meng Yuan Empire, Meng Ke immediately commanded the army to march towards the border of Liangzhou.

Combined with the news he got from Zhao Chengwen some time ago, Su Ziheng was even guessing that the Mengyuan Empire should have secretly driven its army to the border a long time ago, just waiting for an excuse to start a war.

If this is the case, Su Ziheng is very worried, in the face of the army of the Mengyuan Empire, which has been planned and carefully prepared, can the army of the Great Xia Dynasty stop it? Can the Zhong family army resist it?

You must know that at this moment, the Mengxi coalition army has not withdrawn its troops, and they are still stuck with the Zhongjia army in Chuanfu County. If the army of the Mengyuan Empire penetrates straight down from the north, the Zhongjia army cannot return to defense in time, and the three counties of Kang, Ding, and Sichuan near the Moxi grassland will inevitably fall into the hands of the Mengyuan army.

Liangzhou, which lost the three counties of Kang, Ding, and Sichuan, is like a little girl who has taken off her clothes, and will let Meng Yuan's cavalry drive straight in. Once Meng Yuan's army bypassed Helan Mountain and entered the hinterland of Liangzhou, it would form a two-fold attack with the Mengxi coalition army, cutting off the retreat of the Zhongjia army.

To the north is the Moxi Grassland and Helan Mountain, and if the Zhongjia Army does not want to fall into a lonely place, it will definitely not go north. In that case, the Zhongjia army would have to take one way to the south, and once it went south, Xining City would be in danger, and the entire territory of Liangzhou would fall.

Zhong Gang is old in the field of fighting, so naturally he will not make such a mistake. and Zhong Qinghan's Black Crow Army is also ready to go, and she will not watch her father being attacked from both sides.

When Su Ziheng first went to visit her, he had already learned the news of his imminent departure from her, which made him very worried about her.

Su Ziheng was not worried about Zhong Qinghan's military command ability, he was worried about her body. Not sure if her body can sustain high-intensity marches and battles?

To this end, Su Ziheng also secretly took out two boxes of functional drinks to supplement physical energy from the base space to her. This is a new type of drink that was blended in the laboratory by Pandora's hands, and it is many times stronger than the Red Bull, Dongpeng, and Lehu sold on the earth in Su Ziheng's previous life.

When he came out of Zhongfu, Su Ziheng said goodbye to Zhong Qinghan at the door, and arched his hand: "Miss Qinghan, the road here is difficult and dangerous, and I hope Miss Qinghan will take care of her body." On the day of the triumphant return, Su held a banquet for Miss Qinghan in the house. ”

Zhong Qinghan smiled slightly, like a snow lotus blooming arrogantly on the top of the snow-capped mountain, "Then it will be decided, during my absence, you yourself should be more careful." If there is any difficulty, just come to the Central Mansion, I have already instructed the housekeeper to do my best to help. ”

Su Ziheng glanced at her deeply, seeing her indifferent and carefree state, obviously looking down on life and death, her heart was gloomy, she wanted to say a lot of things, but she didn't know how to speak, and in the end she only left two words: cherish!

Zhao Wan'er went to Zhao Mansion to receive Zhao Wan'er, and Zhao Wan'er heard that many slaves in Su Mansion were purchasing sulfur and saltpeter on Xishi Street, so she said to Su Ziheng: "Su Gongzi, dare to ask you are buying sulfur and saltpeter?" ”

Su Ziheng was surprised: "Miss Wan'er, how did you know?" He thought he was doing something very hidden, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Zhao Wan'er at a glance.

Zhao Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "Childe, although many properties in the concubine's family have changed hands, there are still many shops in the city that have not yet changed hands. When Xi'er inspected the shop on my behalf today, I found that there was a subordinate in the Gongzi's mansion who was buying sulfur and saltpeter, so the concubine asked this question. ”

Su Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I see." "Xi'er and Zhao Wan'er have lived in the Su family manor for a few days, and it is not surprising that they know the people in the mansion.

Zhao Wan'er suddenly asked, "Is Su Gongzi in urgent need of these things?" ”

Su Ziheng nodded, and said with a worried face: "Meng Yuan and Great Xia have already started a war, I want to stock up on more supplies in case of emergency." ”

Zhao Wan'er was not very surprised when she heard this, apparently she had learned from her father that there would be a war breaking out early on. Therefore, when Su Ziheng came to pick her up and went to the manor today, she agreed without saying a word.

It stands to reason that going to a manor outside the city will be more vulnerable to attack than staying in the city, but she still chose to be with Su Ziheng. Because she knew very well in her heart that once the Mengyuan army really besieged the city, she would be the first to suffer.

The most important thing in defending a city is morale and supplies. Where do the supplies come from? The vast number of merchants in the city are the best choice. Once there is a demand, Zhao Wan'er believes that Xu Xiuping will be the first to take a knife on herself. Rather than this, it is better to leave with Su Ziheng as soon as possible, and maybe you can escape with a glimmer of life.

"Young Master Su, the concubine Zhao Clan Trading House still has several large warehouses in the city, and there are many items in them. Although there are a lot of things, they are not worth a few dollars, so it is inconvenient to get rid of them for a while, since the son has a need, it is better to give them all to the child. ”

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No merit is not good, how can this be good?" ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "If you can't get rid of it in time, it will be cheap Xu Xiuping at that time, rather than this, it is better for the son to take it." When the time comes, it will also give us an extra chance of saving our lives. ”

Su Ziheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and agreed, "Miss Wan'er, don't worry, no matter how erosive the battle situation is this time, Su will definitely protect Miss Wan'er safe and sound." ”

Zhao Wan'er's eyes flashed, and she said in a shocking voice: "In this way, the rumors that Su Gongzi and Shenlong are connected are true?" ”

Su Ziheng smiled and did not reply.

Zhao Wan'er didn't get to the bottom of it, and handed over the locations and keys of several large warehouses in the city to Su Ziheng, and then left with the Su family's convoy.

Su Ziheng stayed alone, and looked for them one by one according to the address given by Zhao Wan'er. took out Zhao Wan'er's token, opened the guards of the warehouse, entered the warehouse, and collected all the materials inside the base space.

In the process of collecting materials, Su Ziheng really understood the meaning of Zhao Chengwen being known as Zhao Banjie.

The materials in the warehouse are not only varied, basically covering all the mainstream items sold in the market at the moment, but also in large quantities. It is more than ten times larger than the warehouse materials that Su Ziheng won from Chen Wenxuan last time.

With these materials, even if they hide in the deep mountains and old forests and don't have to produce anything, it is enough for the five hundred people in their Su Mansion to live for ten years.

Su Ziheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, this time Zhao Wan'er's affection is too great. This is not worth a few dollars, if you really have to pay for it yourself, you need at least 50,000 taels of silver to buy it.
