Gusu City!

The Imperial Capital of Wu Kingdom!

With the eastern front, the Yan army on the western front continued to fight, and the east and west sides feared the Yan army and the people, and dragged their families to Gusu City from the east and west!

In just a few days, nearly 10,000 displaced people gathered near Gusu City, and there were also displaced people who fled along the way, and they came one after another!

In order to unite the people, Zhao Yanyu instructed the imperial court to strictly prohibit the closure of the city gate and keep the displaced people from all over the country out.

In addition, officials were sent to provide disaster relief, and outside the east gate and west gate, a large pot was set up to boil porridge for relief.

Zhao Yan's heart is like a mirror, Emperor Yan's heart of Wu is not dead, the Yan army is eyeing the country, eager to tear apart the Wu country, in addition to the front line to fight the Wu army, the people have become the last reliance of the imperial court.

Therefore, the exiles affected the order of Gusu City, but he could not turn a deaf ear to the exiles and chill the hearts of the people.

However, walking with the homeless people to Gusu City, as well as the eastern and western fronts, the bad news continued to be transmitted, and the lonely news was one after another, which made Zhao Yanyu, who was already restless, sit on pins and needles in the palace!

The Yan army landed in the eastern part of Wu and captured the city one after another, getting closer and closer to Gusu City, and Zhao Yanyu was afraid that the Wu army would be defeated.

even sent several times the spies to closely adhere to the movements of the Yan army, for fear that during the Yan army's campaign, a general would suddenly lead a surprise soldier and go to Gusu City for a long time!

He was also afraid that the defense of the Western Front would break, and the Yan army would drive straight into the hinterland of Wu!

Almost every time, the imperial court issued an edict to the people of all counties and counties, calling on the landlords of all counties and counties, ranger swordsmen, and thieves to erect the banner of Wu and resist the invasion of the Yan army in various places!

Zhao Yanyu experienced the wind and waves, but his heart was like a mirror, in front of the regular Yan army's iron cavalry, the landlords of the counties and counties were strong, the dead soldiers were guarded, and the ranger swordsmen were only effective in the pace of the Yan army's conquest, but it was impossible to fundamentally block the Yan army.

It is even more incapable of changing the fact that Wu was invaded.

After careful consideration, after consulting with the royal family and ministers, Zhao Yanyu made the final fight!

When the people were called on to pick up weapons to resist the Yan army, in order to prevent accidents, or the Yan army quietly arrived outside the city of Gusu.

Zhao Yanyu instructed the defenders near Gusu City to continuously assemble to Gusu City, hoping to form a cluster effect, outside Gusu City, the Wu army and the Yan army will finally have a decisive battle.

At the same time, in order to release the defeat of the Wu army, ensure that the Wu army has the ability to hold on to Gusu City, and delay the consumption of the Yan army's vital strength, Zhao Yanyu focused his attention on the displaced people who came to Gusu City one after another!

On the one hand, he constantly gathered the displaced people and the people of the city to fortify the city day and night! On the other hand, select strong young people from among the homeless people to join the forbidden army, and train hard day and night!

Therefore, inside and outside Gusu City, there was a bizarre scene, displaced people from all over the country dragged their families to Gusu City for refuge, and a large number of displaced people not only did not get shelter, but instead became long-term laborers, laborers, and those who were lucky were recruited into the army to become forbidden soldiers!

Outside the city, the people and displaced people in the city have joined in to improve and expand the city of Gusu, and build a city within the city according to Zhao Yanyu's idea!

Zhao Yanyu's idea is very simple, he hopes to take advantage of the fact that the Yan army is in full swing on the east and west fronts of Wu State, and use manpower, material and financial resources to build two more cities in a row outside Gusu City, so as to completely improve the defense of Gusu City!

These two walls are separated by two arrows from each other, and if the Yan army comes to the city in the future, they will need to face three city walls. There is a huge defense outside the city, and it will be able to hold on for a long time in the future!

Even if the entire southern land experienced the devastation of war, and only Gusu City survived in the end, he would lead the people of Wu and the army to fight to the death with the Yan army under Lin Feng in Gusu City!

Outside the city of Gusu, it is in full swing, and the officials in the government are good at civil engineering, shuttling with guards, constantly measuring outside the city, leaving marks!

Immediately the people, the laborers, the laborers, and the soldiers began to lay ground beside the markers left by the officials.

The boulders transported from afar are placed horizontally and vertically in the ground, and huge cranes and board cars are pushed back and forth!

In the construction site, there was a huge sound of gravel, anxious shouting, and miscellaneous noises!

The enthusiasm of the people is high, and they are united as one, looking forward to defending their homes and the country through their own efforts!

Large-scale construction outside the city led to changes in many waterways outside the city of Gusu, and Zhao Yanyu instructed officials to build a huge dam between the city walls, hoping to become a weapon for the Wu army to kill and threaten the Yan army.

In short, he hopes that the newly built city wall of Gusu City, anywhere, at any time, as long as the Yan army dares to invade, the Yan army will pay the price with his life!

With this, the food and ordnance collected from all over the state of Wu were continuously stored in the city, so as to ensure that in the future, the people and defenders in the city still had enough food, and the ordnance and the Yan army fought fiercely.

Outside the city, Zhao Yanyu led the ministers to shuttle through the construction site, reviewing the design of the city wall back and forth, for fear that an accident would leave a flaw and be exploited by the Yan army in the future.

Moving forward. Zhao Yanyu was followed by the left and right doctors Wang Wenchang and An Yunqi!

Looking at the lively and noisy scene in front of him, the city walls in many places have been laid, Wang Wenchang stroked his beard and suggested: "The emperor is wise, Gusu City built a city wall to defend as an attack, and Weichen suggested that more traps must be designed to form a rain of guns and arrows, and a chain of defense, so that the Yan army will encounter the blow of the Wu army in the city when it first attacks the city!"

"This is natural, the spears transported from all over the country are all stored in the treasury, if the city wall is completed before the Yan army kills, Gusu City will be a copper wall and an iron wall, at least 300,000 Yan army tombs!" Zhao Yanyu looked at the Quartet with shrewd eyes, full of confidence!

According to the plan, including the original city wall, there will be three city walls outside Gusu City!

At the first city wall, a lot of bed crossbows and catapults were placed from high to low, and the ground was on the ground to pay attention to the dangerous deployment of deep pit traps, thistles and other hazards, so as to ensure that within 200 steps of the city wall, any invading enemy had no hope of survival!

Wang Wenchang bowed slightly, and said: "The emperor is wise, if the emperor's plan is successfully implemented, even if the Yan army breaks through the eastern and western defenses and goes deep with the Yan army, it will also encounter a surprise attack by the people of Wu. In addition, Weichen has secretly arranged for the four princes, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince to go to Shu, Song, Chu, and the hometown of Liang in the west, and even to Yanjing City!

In case the Yan army breaks through the city in advance, it is not necessary to capture the prince of Wu and cut off the bloodline of the royal family of Wu State."

"Wang Aiqing has worked hard!"

Zhao Yanyu smiled and nodded with satisfaction!

According to Zhao Yanyu's arrangement and deployment, the Yan army came from the east and west fronts, even if the Wu army was defeated, the eastern front needed to consume 50,000 to 80,000 elites of the Yan army.

For the defense of the western front, 300,000 elite sailors, under the command of Ye Liufan, must consume 150,000 Yan troops, and when they go to the hinterland to defend, the people around the country will consume another 30,000 or 40,000 of the other party.

In the end, the hinterland fortified to meet the enemy, and the defense of Gusu City, consumed at least 300,000 elite Yan troops!

He believed that his plan would be successfully implemented, and that the Yan State, known as a million male soldiers, would be lost by sixty percent, and that the vast Yan State, if the troops in the territory of the Wu State were consumed, the rule of the Yan State would fall apart.

The prince of Wu who went to various places, taking advantage of the world to lead the army to revolt, will make the Yan army anxious, at that time, the Wu country will surely be revived and rise again!

Wang Wenchang was silent, recording the situation around the city as he went, An Yunqi approached Zhao Yanyu and suggested: "Your Majesty, the Yan army is numerous, if you break through the east and west defenses, there will inevitably be hundreds of thousands of elites gathered outside the city, and the imperial court must arrange more elite and young and middle-aged laborers in the city, only by ensuring that there is a steady stream of soldiers in Gusu City, can you fight to the death with the Yan army to the end!"

Zhao Yan bowed his head, looked like he was in control, and said with confidence: "I have already made arrangements, and I have already sent the third prince to bring officials to recruit young people from the vicinity of Gusu City. In addition, a lot of money was spent to recruit ranger swordsmen from all over the country, as well as people of insight in Wu, except for the Wu army and ordinary people in Gusu City, at least 300,000 young and middle-aged people were filled in Gusu City!

The battle between Wu Yan's two armies in Gusu City is bound to be unprecedented, shocking the past and the present!"

Zhao Yanyu made the worst plan, if he didn't succeed, he would become benevolent, and would rather kill all a million people in Gusu than refuse to surrender to the Yan army, he believed that his plan would be implemented smoothly and basically drag down the Yan country.

No matter how bad it is, conflicts will break out one after another in various parts of Yan Kingdom, making Yan Kingdom take care of one thing and lose the other!

Once the elite of the Yan State is lost, it will be long and long-lasting to go to the Chu State to fight in the future, and perhaps the Wu State will completely drag down the Yan State that is desperate for military forces!

At that time, Emperor Yan had not achieved the unification of the world, and the Yan Kingdom, which was entrenched in the north and south, would fall apart in the war, perhaps the Wu Kingdom was lucky to survive the royal family, and there was still hope for revival.

"The emperor's vision is far-reaching, and it is difficult for the ministers to be invincible!" An Yunqi flattered!

During the inspection, some officials hurriedly found Zhao Yanyu's traces in the crowd, and brought the messenger next to him quickly, and the two sides saluted each other.

The anxious messenger took out a bamboo tube from his arms and sent it to Zhao Yanyu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the war on the Western Front has changed, and General Ye has sent back the news from the Western Front!"

Has the war changed on the Western Front?

Hearing the sound, Zhao Yanyu retreated with a smile on his face, quickly took the bamboo tube, took out the letter inside and opened it to browse in detail!

Recently, Ye Liufan has been sending news back from the front line, that is, to report to him the battle situation on the front line, and also to constantly ask him for help, hoping that the imperial court will send reinforcements to help the army on the Western Front tide over the difficulties.

However, the state of Wu fought on two fronts, and left sufficient troops in the central hinterland and Gusu City, and the imperial court no longer had enough troops to deploy the western front!

Otherwise, how could he spend money and food to build a defense outside Gusu City, hoping to fight to the death with the Yan army in Gusu City!

When reading the letter, Zhao Yanyu suddenly coughed continuously, clutched the letter tightly, and said angrily: "What the hell is going on with Wang Zhengwen, he killed the generals in battle, causing Liuli City to change hands, and the Yan army easily broke through the defense of the Western Front!"

Zhao Yanyu had high hopes for the battlefield on the Western Front, hoping that Ye Liufan, Wang Zhengwen and other generals would lead 300,000 elites to defend Liuli City, Xinglong City, and Nanjiang City.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Liuli City changed hands!

Next to him, Wang Wenchang and An Yunqi were also taken aback and surprised!
