Five hundred and sixty-one, prepare for war

When Tan Yuyu and his entourage of nearly 2,000 people arrived at Qiuchi, Qiuchi can be said to be a hundred streets and alleys in China.

Tan invited the rain to get off the horse, talking to the people, and praying for them. Originally, the journey that could not be used in half an hour, Tan Invite Yu took two hours to complete.

Liang Weng and Yao Zheng were guarding the city gate at dawn with civil and military officials, watching Invite Yu wearing national clothes and walking slowly, Liang Weng said with a smile: "Xian Ji can stay longer this time." The royal palaces and palaces in both counties have been renovated, so you can stay wherever you like. ”

Tan Yuyu also smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." The main palace is used to living in the Yin Parallel Palace, so he won't toss to Wudu. ”

The Western Qin refugees who fled to Qiuchi last year also sent a middle-aged man out, thanks to Qiuchi Xianji for not turning them away and giving them a livelihood.

Tan Invite Yu smiled and accepted the gifts they offered, "Although the mountain land is difficult to cultivate, the land is still fertile, you cultivate with all your heart, and there will definitely be a good harvest this year." ”

After Tan Invite Yu returned to Qiuchi, he only rested for one day, and the next day he began to prepare non-stop.

She first ordered five blast furnaces for iron-making to be built in the palace. The entire Qiu Chi army and Lu Shuihu people were all gathered in one place, and Cui Yong and others were re-trained in a unified manner.

Tan Zhaoyu was worried that Yao Zheng would be too concerned at first, but he didn't expect that after Yao Zheng talked to Cui Yong and others, he would accompany them to practice with sincerity. The strength of the entire Qiu Chi Army has improved a lot in a short period of time.

Tan Zhaoyu ordered Qin Zhongzhi to personally inspect the walls of the three counties, and repair the slightest missing places as soon as possible.

There were people running in and out of the gate of the palace almost all the time, and the people of Qiu Chi Kingdom soon knew that it was going to be a war. But the strange thing is that the vendors on the street are still selling, and people's lives are the same day as ever, as if Tan Invite Yu is the magic needle of the sea, as long as she is there, even if the army of millions is not afraid of attacking the city.

Although Tan Invite Yu felt that it was a good thing that the people could be so stable, he was also very happy to be so trusted by his own people. But she knew in her heart that with Qiu Chi's current strength, it was too early to say that it was foolproof.

He Lu selected 3,000 men from the army and craftsmen, and smelted and crafted weapons day and night. Tan Zhaoyu also did it himself this time, and he had to go to the blast furnace almost every day to take a look. Nine times out of ten, the newly created weapons have passed through her hands. As long as she says no, she has to reshape it until she tries and is satisfied.

In this way, it continued to be busy until June in early summer, when the last batch of city crossbows were erected to the arrow tower of Wudu City, Tan Invite Yu was relieved. I personally tried to shoot an arrow, and watched the arm-thick iron arrow roar out, and the arrow was nailed diagonally to the ground a hundred paces away. Even though the arrow was already submerged in the earth, it was still castrated, and the tail of the arrow did not stop trembling and humming.

Tan Zhaoyu nodded with satisfaction, "Based on the location of this arrow, the soil in front of the city gate will be mixed with tung oil." ”

Du Wen was busy clenching his fists and receiving orders, "Huh." Then the minister sent someone to do it. With these two layers of protection, there is no need to worry about tens of thousands of people besieging the city. Just ......"

Tan Yuyu saw that Du Wen wanted to speak and stopped, so he waved away the people behind him, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." A few of you young generals have stood on the side of the palace since Yang Sheng led the Song army to besiege the city, and speaking of which, you have long been the people that the palace trusts and relies on. ”

Du Wen immediately clenched his fists and bowed his head, "I am willing to smear the liver and brain of Xianji." ”

Du Wen looked at the shiny and heavy crossbow machines on the city wall, all loaded with long arrows, and the arrows against the cold light carried a murderous aura that could not be taken lightly. He suddenly remembered the scene a few years ago when Helian Bobo of Western Qin led his troops to attack, and the Western Qin army relied on powerful trebuchets and almost did not pay attention to the defenders and city walls of Wudu and Yinping. At that time, he was determined to die on the wall.

But who would have thought that Xian Ji, a girl who had just grown up, would force back the army of Western Qin. And today, a few years later, the entire Wudu city wall is armed to the point of impregnable and unbreakable.

"Does Xian Ji just want to defend the city?"

Tan Yuyu turned his head to look at Du Wenze, who was asking, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Such a simple question made the blood in Du Wenze's body suddenly boil. As a military general, even if it is a military general in a small land like Qiu Chi, he once dreamed of scolding Fang Xuan on the battlefield, unrivaled vertically and horizontally, and expanding his territory.

But this kind of dream, before Tan Zhaoyu appeared, was unrealistic. But now...... Du Wen had tried He Lu's newly made horse lance, and he had personally practiced with Cui Yong. After reading these again, Du Wen suddenly felt that maybe Qiu Chi no longer had to live in this remote and sparsely populated mountain forest.

Du Wen said tentatively, "The people of Western Qin are now settled in the mountains outside Wudu City, although they will not lack clothes and clothing, but there are more and more people fleeing from the north, and we don't have so much arable land to give them." Tuyuhun is not very peaceful over there, and I heard that from time to time people come over the mountains to steal things. ”

Seeing that Tan Invite Yu didn't directly ask him to stop, Du Wen said with courage: "Western Qin is already struggling now, if they can ...... their land"

Tan Yuyu shook his head lightly at this time, "This palace knows what you mean. It's just that Western Qin has already surrendered to Wei, and if we attack directly, it is very likely to cause retaliation from Northern Wei. Today's Qiu Chi army is not enough to confront the Northern Wei Dynasty. We can only wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to make a move that will not be caught. ”

In fact, the Northern Wei Dynasty is now restrained by the Xia Dynasty and the Liu Song Dynasty, and there is no time to protect the Western Qin. This was actually a great opportunity to capture Western Qin. But Tan Invite Yu had to take care of the rules of the Xingshilou, and he couldn't kill in vain.

She muttered a little angrily, "I don't know when I'll really let go of my hands and feet......"

At the beginning of July, Liu Song's army from Yanzhi finally arrived in Suchang at a turtle speed. Helianding immediately sent envoys across the river to liaison, and the two sides agreed that ten days later, Helianding's army would contain the reinforcements of the Northern Wei Dynasty, while the Song army would directly attack the four towns along the river.

Compared with the tension on both sides of the Yellow River, Qiuchi can be regarded as calm in China. Tan Yingyu was still enjoying the calm before the storm, but Yingfeng rushed to Qiu Chi with a team of noisy people.

As soon as he saw Tan Yuyu, Yingfeng immediately posted it, "Changsheng, do you miss me?" I expected that there would be a shortage of manpower around you, so I deliberately turned around to the Xingshilou first and picked up Senior Brother Yun and Zhu Rong. Shigong was afraid that you would be bullied, so he specially sent twenty seniors to help you. ”

Tan Yuqiang resisted the urge to slap Fei Yingfeng with a palm, gritted his teeth and said, "You call me the landlord!" Although it is just a mediocre small word, it can be called by Yingfeng, and Invite Yu will feel uncomfortable.
