Some spoilers for the next stage
Border City in the outer chapter
The empire is vast and vast, and the size of the territory is not as large as miles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the border guard of the empire, Li Shen was standing on the border gate at this time, looking at the enemy who was surging like ants.
His brow furrowed.
This is the third day of these alien attacks, but the Empire's support has not yet arrived.
Looking at the soldiers on the city wall with cotton cloth tied to their bodies, Li Shen began to think that the city could be held for a few days.
Gusu City, which Li Shen was responsible for guarding, was just a small border city, which was used to delay the invasion of foreign enemies and prepare for war in the rear.
If nothing else, there will be no reinforcements.
Li was already prepared for this.
Another day of fighting has passed, and the original 1,000-member school team that was full of people in the city has now been reduced by more than half, and some of the remaining are wounded.
However, the sense of resistance in the city is getting stronger and stronger.
Leaning on the battlements, looking at the retreating enemies below, Li Shuang's face was full of disdain.
The enemy simply looked down on their small city.
There is no intention to leave a way for the people in the city to live.
It was the idea of slaughtering the city.
But this is exactly what Li Hurt intended.
When there is no way out, the inhabitants of the city will defend the city on their own, they can hold it for a longer time, and they can also inflict greater casualties on the enemy.
Every border guard knew his fate at the beginning of his tenure.
When the enemy comes to attack, it is a game of death.
But thousands of miles away are his own family and relatives, and Li Sheng will never let these people go before he dies.
Seven days later the city was broken.
The whole city was slaughtered.
Lee was wounded and killed in battle.
But before the city was broken, this Gusu city was on fire, leaving no trace for the enemy.
This is war.

Outside Jiangnan scholars
Looking south of the river.
The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the scholars are nostalgic for the green building, the flower boat sings at night, the old farmer grinds stone beans, the drama sings about the sadness, constantly does not mess up, the breeze blows rumors, and the ancient saying is romantic.
For the above adjectives, Guo Shi himself did not care.
These poems are all about how Jiangnan is erosive, and we know how many scholars abandon their pens and swords to rush to the border whenever the empire is in turmoil?
packed up at night, and the next morning, Guo Shi and a group of college friends rushed all the way to the southwest border pass.
Floated down the river by a small boat, and the road was silent.
Except for three or five friends talking about the border war, there is no singing and dancing.
Daily pen and ink flowers and rice paper, carrier pigeons to deliver news.
3,000 students from Jiangnan went to the southwest, contacted relatives and friends all the way, and left a masterpiece.
The living and the dead do not know how many.
Finally cross the Qingshui River, when arriving at the west of the town, there are hundreds of docks moored here.
The streets are full of scholars like Guo Shi who are lightly armed with swords.
Imperial scholars are not afraid of life and death.
Entering the barracks, often in the military.
Carry water every day, bend the bow and shoot arrows.
After training in March, he rushed to the border with the army.
The war is tragic and the war is impermanent.
The white doves take off every day to report the loss, and each one represents the loss of a life.
It's not that I don't want the feather fan to shake the decisive battle thousands of miles away, but I know that I don't care about my ability, and I can't determine the war here, so it's better to lift a three-foot sword and cut off the enemy's dog's head.
In his spare time, scholars like Guo Shi will also tell the veterans about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Tell them that there is a lot of singing and dancing and beautiful scenery.
Like heaven on earth.
Everything is wonderful, and if you survive, don't forget to give it a trip.
Half a year later, the war ended, and the number of 3,000 Jiangnan students returning was less than 800.
There is no Guo Shi in it.

Outside the general
The southwest is in chaos and chaos again.
Every three or five years, there is a mess, and this matter is really a headache for those of them who are officials in Beijing.
Dong Ping, as a Silu official, stood in the court every day to move chairs, hand out tea, and listen to them talk about the war in the southwest, and he had heard enough.
Every day, it is not said how much grain the emperor has withheld from him, or how much silver the emperor has taken from his family.
They didn't want to think about it, if those silver coins were found out by the executioners of the Clear Division, wouldn't all the old and young of this family have to go to Huangquan to accompany them?
This morning, looking at where a large group of old officials were nagging, Dong Ping didn't say anything about serving tea to his door, just staring at him.
also turned a blind eye to the fierce eyes of those old officials.
The imperial court is going to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the generals who will lead the troops this time have not yet been selected.
It's a chore, and there's no oil or water, so no one wants to go.
Sure enough, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the entire court became silent.
Looking at the old officials who were still nagging just now, they looked at him one by one, and Dong Ping was watching the jokes over there.
A petition, followed by a self-cutting little finger.
Dong Ping was born as a jinshi, and he is a serious second-rank jinshi of eight hundred.
Eight years in this court, it's enough to watch these old officials quarrel every day
At this moment, he threw the little finger that he had broken off in front of the Zhen Wusi who was in charge of military affairs, and said that the head should be stored with you, and if you can't come back, I will compensate you for this thing.
The capital is 20,000 gold and jade lang, all the way down the river.
After two months of peace of war in the southwest, Dong Ping returned to the court with a large dog head and asked Zhen Wusi, the head was brought to you, where is my head?

Outer chapter
The rise and fall of the world, the rise and fall of dynasties.
The people are bitter and the people are suffering.
But there is a group of people who are always laughing.
As the grain collector of the Eastern Zhou County of the empire, Liu Shi looked at these well-dressed merchants in front of him at this time, but they were a group of "eating human flesh", and he could only endure the anger in his heart and calmly discuss the matter of buying grain with them.
The war in the southwest is urgent, and there is an urgent need for grain and grass.
But these big businessmen only care about hiding money in their pockets and raising prices, without the slightest concern about the national disaster.
From the news of the war in the southwest, in just two months, the food price of the empire was raised by these beasts by two times, and the grain price of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a major grain-producing county, actually tripled!
Seeing these merchants rushing out after perfunctory themselves, Liu Shi sneered.
After three days of calm, the Black Cavalry entered the city.
Liu Shi, the grain collector, actually took these imperial soldiers and began to speculate from house to house!
The iron horse crossed, and the merchants that passed did not leave a single tile.
In the end, the Eastern Zhou Prefecture overfulfilled the task with a share of six times more than the amount issued by the empire.
Liu Shi, the grain collector, cut himself and was next to the grain ship.
Transferring troops without permission is a capital offense.
False military orders, capital crimes.
Raiding the family and exterminating the family, capital crime.
Li Shi has offended too much, so much so that when the emperor sees his crimes, he is also silent.
The three lists were born in the same jinshi, went out as an official and were honest, had no children, no relatives and friends, and no book party.
When he cut himself, he shouted to live up to Jun's grace.
In the end, the imperial court still convicted Li Shi.
And also set up a guilty number.
The corpses and stone statues were sent to the border pass to be whipped day and night by the border guards.
Sin number: loyalty.
Punishment, when the empire fell, when the royal blood was cut off, and when there was no war in the world, Liu Shi was allowed to be buried with the royal Zhou Mausoleum.

Fighting in the south has resumed.
The business of the girls in the Qinglou is not doing well.
I don't have any money.
As the prince of the Qinglou Turtle, he lay on the bench in the hall and slept there regardless of the eyes of others.
He had slept for a full day.
No one bothered him.
Even the day before yesterday, the popular sister of this Shuiyue Xuan also slept with the royal family for free.

Case.
In the past month, almost all the homes of the wealthy families in Wuxi City have been visited by thieves, and the amount of gold and silver lost is more than half a million imperial silver coins.
But such a big case has not been solved for a whole month.
It's not that it can't be found, and it's not that it can't be caugh
It's that no one has checked it at all.
The city lord of Wuxi stood at the door every morning, watching the lean boy carry a large package and deliver the gold and silver to him, and then thanked the city lord, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
The war in the West Sea Boundary dragged on for a long time, and the imperial court was short of money and food.
But he, the lord of the city, can't help it, this half-grown son born in the Qinglou Tavern sends him money every day.
As for where the money comes from?
The king made it clear and told him that he would cut off the head of his royal family, and wait for him to visit all the rich people in the city.
Just today, the catchers in the city came to Shuiyuexuan.
Looking at the royal family who was still sleeping in the hall, no one bothered him.
No one is afraid that this man will run away.
In the end, it was the king who woke up and smiled when he saw them as soldiers.
Die generously!

Qianmo Tales 49
Wang Shuo sent away Liu Jiazi, who had just come to ask for money, and he didn't know what it was like.
Is he greedy too much?
The family's land, real estate, gold and silver are all added up to just over a million silver coins, and compared with those ministers of his level, he Wang Shuo is already considered incorruptible.
Those who have tens of millions of family assets, why didn't you Zhao Ke ask for it, but came to him Wang Shuo, an honest man?
One bite will take away 100,000 silver coins, such a large sum.
After Wang Shuo's heartache passed, he began to walk around the homes of other ministers.
Openly and secretly began to find out how much money other ministers had been extorted by Emperor Liu and how many had not been extorted.
In the end, Wang Shuo found that only those officials who were not stable enough in the empire and were relatively less greedy could make this unwarranted disaster worse.
Back at home, Wang Shuo lost his temper.
Several ladies in the family also added fuel and vinegar.
When he went to court the next day, Wang Shuo didn't have a good face.
A group of ministers complained to Zhao Ke on the dragon chair that his family was poor.
But Zhao Tao bit it to death and didn't let go.
The ministers who were not approached just looked at them with sarcastic eyes and did not help.
In the end, the ministers paid the money anyway.
And this money has become their life money!
Three months later, the good news came.
The next half month was a bloody storm.
Black cavalry across the empire began to raid the homes of the merchant clans that were entrenched in the empire.
There is no frog stew in warm water, but a full sortie.
Wherever the black rider passes, it doesn't matter what your value is or what your official position is.
If you don't pay, you're dead.
In the end, three cents of the money obtained from the raid was handed over to the state treasury, two cents were used for armaments, and the remaining fifty percent was directly distributed by the Black Cavalry to the local soldiers and civilians.
When he received the news at his home in Jingli, the royal family also breathed a long sigh of relief.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad.
A few days later, led by the king's subordinates, a large number of remaining ministers contributed half of their wealth to the treasury.
A black knight operation brought a full 300 million silver coins to the Imperial Treasury! It's the tax of the empire for fifteen years!

The outer part of the black ride
There are rumors circulating in the empire that Emperor Liu likes dark horses.
Because of the tribute horses from all over the country every year, the black horses were intercepted by the royal family.
There are also some gossip that he, the emperor, has privately built a black cavalry army.
These messages are true.
Since the age of five, he has been selected into the Black Cavalry, and now at the age of twenty-four, Ling Cai is a lieutenant of the Black Cavalry.
He was an orphan.
Like him, most of the Black Cavalry were orphans.
Start cultivating from a young age.
Horseback riding, archery, foot combat, cavalry warfare, reading, literacy, enlightenment, loyalty, patriotism.
This is all that Lingqi was exposed to in the first half of his life.
The size of the Black Cavalry is not known.
But he knew eight lieutenants, each of whom was in charge of an army of five hundred black cavalry.
Super-programmed elite Black Cavalry!
When the battle in the Western Sea Realm began, the commander of the Lingcai, the old captain with all white hair, told them to prepare.
Lingqi thought that they were finally going to battle, and his heart was full of fear and excitement.
But as the war expanded, the Black Cavalry was assigned the task of collecting food!
This made many black cavalry soldiers confused.
But he still obeyed the orders of his superiors to carry them out.
The direction to which the Lingqi was assigned was very smooth and there were no waves.
But when he returned to the station after completing his mission, he saw many of his colleagues covered in scars.
After careful questioning, I learned that the collection of grain in other places was not very smooth, and there were even some large households that openly disobeyed the imperial military orders.
Under the deterrence of the Black Cavalry, the grain was still transported to the border on time.
Next, Wang Qi received a secret order and was assigned to various parts of the empire with his brothers.
When the war in the West Sea Realm ended, a bloody sweep began.
The Black Cavalry was full of 21,000 men.
After the Scarlet Movement, four thousand survived.
The seizure of a total of 800,000,000,000 imperial silver coins was a great tax for twenty-four years.
