Chapter 075: Arriving in Yuecheng
Yuecheng is located in the central and southwestern regions, and it was not a very important territory before this, but since the rise of the Chinese Kingdom, it has gradually become a heavy place for the soldiers, and the two forces are in dispute.
Jin Guo originally planned to open up Yan Guo's camp through Yuecheng, and Daqi contained Yan Guo in front, so she drove in from this unobtrusive place, as long as she poked the swollen ball into a needle's eye, and then it was easy to say what she would do.
Therefore, only three cities were also collected by Emperor Yuan Yong, and Emperor Yuan Yong directly used these two cities as a war preparation point, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses were all stationed here, for four years.
Because of the preparation in the early stage, in the face of the Huaguo forces that suddenly emerged two years ago, Yuecheng also had the strength to resist.
Huaguo was menacing and rose fiercely, but when it attacked Yuecheng, it was closed and blocked by Yuecheng for nearly a year.
During this time, the forces of both sides, large and small, fought dozens of times. The founding leader of Huaguo was also in a hurry, he didn't have so much time to spend here.
Huaguo's army stopped attacking Yuecheng for two consecutive months, this time was very calm, but the general who defended Yuecheng was very worried, she knew that this peace was just an illusion, Huaguo must be holding back something, and when they fought again, it would be very miserable.
Jin Qing and the dark guard Xiao Wu quickly whipped up, and finally arrived in Yuecheng's sphere of influence after half a month.
"Master, ten miles ahead is the north gate of Yuecheng, let's rest in the city first." Xiao Wu said, "The big camp is stationed fifty miles away from the west gate of Yuecheng, and there is a special point in the city to sign up for enlistment. β
Jin Qing saw that Yuecheng was very well defended, only the main city gate was opened, the secondary city gate was closed, and the main city gate was also guarded by soldiers.
And Jin Qing also saw pairs of soldiers on the sentry tower, a pair of eagle eyes patrolling around, looking into the distance, to ensure the safety of a radius of hundreds of miles.
Jin Qing has already read the relevant information about Yuecheng, speaking of which, it was lucky that the mother emperor was able to easily occupy Yuecheng and the surrounding Jiangcheng and Fucheng cities.
At that time, I didn't know what happened here, a plague broke out suddenly, and before the news could get out, hundreds of people died in the palace and the common people.
Fortunately, Emperor Yuan Yong has been committed to the collection of news, and immediately crossed the medium-sized countries that had not yet been captured, directly took the three cities, blocked the news, eliminated the plague, and quietly changed hands of the three cities.
Immediately after the two sides attacked, the middle of the country did not know anything, destroyed the country, and in the next few years, the layout was re-planned, and it became an important place for Jinguo to directly take Dayan!
The general who guarded Yuecheng turned out to be a protΓ©gΓ© of General Xia Mingxia of Jinguo, named Li Xiuqin, who had the talent to defend the city, was good at planning and then acting, and was a veteran with experience in leading troops.
Emperor Yuan Yong specially assigned her to garrison Yuecheng and enjoy the rights of the head of Yue, Jiang and Fu.
And Li Xiuqin does have the ability, after coming to Yuecheng, he re-planned the defense line, sent people to dig the moat longer, connected to the two cities of Jiang and Fu, and all the materials were quickly transmitted and transported through the moat.
Then the abandoned farmland was reclaimed, dozens of peasant families were enrolled, and the 500 acres of fields outside Yuecheng were supplied with the food needs of all the soldiers and people in Yuecheng, plus the materials transported by Jinguo, which was completely sufficient.
I won't say more about other measures here, in short, the three cities reflect each other from afar, cooperate with each other, and the supply is endless, which is the reason why Hua Guo has not been able to capture Yuecheng for a long time.
Jin Qing nodded, stretched her waist and smiled bitterly, "I want to clean up well, I have to get a good night's sleep after so many days in a row." β
"Drive!" Jin Qing rode his horse to the north city gate, and Xiao Wu followed closely behind.
The secret guard originally sent to Jinqing by Emperor Yuan Yong was a ten-person squad, and his martial arts were comparable to several great grandmasters, but they were also outstanding.
However, because there was no danger for Jin Qing to stay in Wujing, Jin Qing drove five people back to Jin Kingdom to listen to Emperor Yuan Yong's dispatch.
Jin Qing has achieved martial arts, and even the leader of the squad is now fighting against Jin Qing, that is, a draw. There are five people left, this time Jin Qing only brought Xiao Wuyi, Xiao Wu's martial arts are not very high, but they are good at light skills, and the other four, Jin Qing assigned them another thing.
In front of the North City Gate, there was already a long queue outside, and Jin Qing also dismounted and lined up behind.
Although only the main gate is left in and out, which makes the efficiency of the teams entering and exiting slower, it also effectively controls the possibility of suspicious people fishing in troubled waters.
The war between Huaguo and Yuecheng has always been ignored by other forces on the mainland, and it has always been the war between Dayan and Daqi that has been widely talked about everywhere.
In addition, in recent days, the Jin State and the Qi State have raised troops to counterattack the Qi State, and in addition to the attention of several other forces, the large and small wars that have broken out in other places are really commonplace on this continent and are not taken seriously.
Now there is still chaos on the mainland, and there are times when more than two sides are fighting in a war, and it is more likely that a war will involve three parties and four parties.
From the beginning of Jinguo's anti-Qi state, Jinguo's secret power was exposed, and Yuecheng has justifiably become the border area of Jinguo's new land, and the war between Huaguo and Yuecheng has finally come to the forefront.
Everyone is saying that the new force of Huaguo must be afraid when it sees that Yuecheng is owned by Jinguo, and it has not attacked Yuecheng for two whole months.
But only Li Xiuqin and Emperor Yuanyong knew that this Hua Kingdom could not be underestimated, because Hua Guo was blocked there like that, and she could not attack Dayan's camp now.
On the moat bridge, there were a few stalls on both sides to sell some sugar water and food, and Xiao Wu also went to buy a bowl for Jinqing to drink.
A woman in a line of burden-bearers sat bored on a wooden box fanning herself, and when she saw that the procession was moving slowly, she turned her head and started talking to others with an excited expression.
"Hey, have you heard? The latest news from the divine son of Yan Kingdom? β
"Don't be the son of God, it sounds weird and awkward, it's all Yan Guo's side saying this, how can there be any gods?"
"You can't say that, when the Son of God was born, the sky was full of red clouds, hundreds of beasts were running, and the big birds in the sky flashed by, such a strange scene, it must be that the chosen son did not run away."
"Yes, yes, although I haven't seen it, but I heard that someone was fortunate enough to see the big bird in the sky, and when he said it, he actually found that it was the mythical beast phoenix in the ancient text! That prince must be the reincarnation of a divine beast! β
"Didn't you say that the prince was gifted? After memorizing a book of poetry at the age of three, he can compose a poem at the age of four, and he can understand the past and the present at the age of five...... At a young age, both civil and military, such a prodigy, from ancient times to the present, where can I find a second one? β
The person who refused the name of "Son of God" at the beginning saw so many people refutating her, and his face was red for a while, and his neck was thick, and he said in annoyance, "The Chosen Son of Heaven is on his lips, according to your meaning, it must be the Yan Kingdom that wins the war in the end?!" β
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, this was in the past, it was okay to talk about it casually, but now they are under the jurisdiction of Jinguo.
Jinguo is different from their previous leaders, the emperor of Jinguo is obviously more ambitious, this has to say "yes", they must not be arrested when it is rumored out, and openly say that Jinguo will be destroyed, and their brains will be pumped like this.
One person laughed, "We are just ordinary people, we can't take care of these big things, right?" Don't worry about that, as long as we can live well, we will be satisfied. β
In the final analysis, most people don't have a certain feeling about who is in charge of the house, and they are used to the leaders of this continent.
Generally speaking, only those who fight will be bloody, and the victors have never seen anyone slaughter the people except for a few leaders who are murderous, and they are all wars of the upper class.
But there are also people who are not willing to be ordinary, and if they want to change their fate, then join the army or join the army, and since then their future is linked to their lives, and it is difficult to return to civilian life.
Jin Qing drank sugar water and shook his head silently, the people of Yuecheng do not have a strong sense of belonging to Jinguo, in fact, this is nothing to blame, except for the foundation that has been passed down from generation to generation in Jinguo, how can other places establish a sense of identity in a short period of time?
The person who brought up the topic at the beginning turned his head to the side in dissatisfaction, ignoring the person with the bad atmosphere, "Listen to me, what are you doing so far?" I'm going to talk about the latest news. β
"Isn't that prince of Yan Kingdom already fifteen years old? Young talents from all walks of life asked to marry, but the prince actually left the words 'no marriage and no children', and fled without a trace! Emperor Yan was furious, and decent people were looking for it everywhere! β
"Oops! It's true!? β
