Chapter Forty-Seven: Hoarding Supplies The Fire Ox Strikes

Li Chengzhou sat on the steps outside the main hall, watching the sunset, even now, he felt a little illusory about the position of this cheap emperor.

It feels very unreal, and even feels like he was still in college one second, and he is becoming an emperor in a foreign land this second.

Fang Changge and they have been in for more than ten days, and the meals that are changed every day have not even moved much, only the sound of heated discussions in the conference hall can make Li Chengzhou feel at ease.

In this chamber, he is his right-hand man, without them, Li Chengzhou really doesn't know what he should do, and whether he can hold on.

Although the rest of the people are not all mediocre, they always feel that it is not easy to use.

Li Chengzhou has been very close to Li Xiaojiang and Jin Ding recently, and looking at Li Xiaojiang and Jin Ding standing behind him, there seems to be some estrangement.

Li Xiaojiang doesn't sit down to protect Li Chengzhou as a guard at all times, but what assassin is there in Los Angeles now, he just deliberately behaves to show himself, but it can't be denied that Li Xiaojiang has real skills.

And Jin Ding is even more honestly afraid, showing the fear of accompanying the king like a tiger to the fullest, but he is just trying to win the future, and he must seize an opportunity.

Now Li Chengzhou really doesn't know how to govern a country, how to command a battle, how to win people's hearts, and what everyone thinks in their hearts.

But not understanding doesn't mean being stupid, what Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts probably understands.

Now this relationship is far inferior to the relationship with Fan Qingyan and Tomahawk.

Now that he misses them more and more, Li Chengzhou feels that he has made a mess in the past few days.

The food problem mentioned by Fang Changge before has not been solved yet, and the rest of the people don't understand this, and they don't dare to disturb Fang Changge, so they can only send people to collect wild fruits and vegetables as daily staple food and supplement it with the remaining food on the boat, and then fish and dry fish to get by.

Riots also broke out in residential areas, and tribal warriors and scattered coalition fighters met and even took up arms to fight each other.

Li Chengzhou originally wanted to wear a gold suit to suppress it, but Li Xiaojiang tactfully reminded that the gold suit should not appear too much, otherwise there would be no mystery and it must be used at a critical moment.

Today, there are more than 7,000 people in the city, and more than 1,000 of them are members of the Sanren Alliance, all of whom are fierce and good at fighting.

Li Chengzhou brought all the more than 1,000 people to the barracks and handed them over to Li Xiaojiang for training, while General Wang was sent to lead craftsmen to repair the city, go out to pave roads, and collect timber.

After Fang Changge and Meng Biao said that, Li Chengzhou did not dare to use General Wang to contact the army again, and he was not afraid of 10,000.

But General Wang didn't say anything, he didn't do any less work, and he did it beautifully, and he didn't walk in with Li Chengzhou, he was self-sprouting alone, and he didn't deal with others.

Li Chengzhou pulled his thoughts back to reality, stood up, and looked at the warehouses and squares in the distance, which were piled up with mountains of wood and stone.

The buildings in the city of Los Angeles have been restored to perfection, the facilities have been used perfectly, and the functions of the city have been brought into play.

The craftsmen have already begun to strengthen the city wall, the higher they build, the thicker they build, Li Chengzhou hurriedly stopped the craftsmen, it is better to do something else with this material.

The craftsmen now went to fortify the city floor, go out to pave the roads, and work the stone and wood.

The food in the granary has gradually increased, but at the cost of far less fish than at the beginning, nearly two kilometers of wild fruits and vegetables have been depleted, and trees have been cut down.

One of the nearest quarries is also running out of steam.

When will it come out! Li Chengzhou only hoped that they would come out quickly, and he decided to wait for the head of the house to come out as soon as he came out.

I really don't want to deal with fights and petty theft every day, and this is also something that the emperor handles?

Li Chengzhou was annoyed, and suddenly someone in the distance ran quickly and rushed towards the main hall. Standing on the steps of the main hall, you can see the man all the way through the city gates, through the streets and alleys, and even flashing the token to the guards at the door and continuing to run.

"Report! ...”

Li Xiaojiang stepped out and blocked in front of Li Chengzhou: "Those who come stop and speak from the audience!" ”

The man who ran wildly was out of breath, and when he looked up, he saw that it was one of the twenty guards.

Li Xiaojiang put the knife into the sheath, and Li Chengzhou's gaze softened.

The half-kneeling man below took a large sip of water before he began to explain his intentions.

"The subordinates didn't mean to offend, but they just made this decision when it happened suddenly."

"According to the reports of the rest of the spies, twenty kilometers away from the sea ferry and fifty kilometers away from the city, there is a barbarian army marching towards the city, the team is neat, and the pace is not disorderly."

"At their current rate, they expect to arrive tomorrow when the sun rises."

Li Xiaojiang and Jin Ding blurted out almost at the same time: "Fire Bull? ”

Li Chengzhou also just guessed that it was like this: "Can you find out how many of them there are?" ”

"No, they also sent scouts to reconnoiter ahead, in order to avoid startling the snakes, we just watched from a distance and did not take the initiative to approach. But no less than three thousand people are expected. ”

"What do you two think?"

Li Xiaojiang frowned: "Let them come, the deep pool in the high city of Los Angeles is 8 meters high, even if you let them fight, they won't be able to enter." ”

Jin Ding nodded: "What General Li said is extremely true, our supplies are enough to consume them to retreat. ”

Li Chengzhou was a little speechless: "Can't we think about fighting?" ”

Li Xiaojiang shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's not that your subordinates passively avoid war, but because the number of enemy troops is far more than ours, it is really risky to go out to meet the enemy, and now our situation cannot accept any possible risks, otherwise it will lead to the fall of the city and fall into the hands of the enemy." ”

"Okay, General Li will leave this matter to you, you take Jin Ding, and you mobilize soldiers to actively defend."

After finishing speaking, he threw the talisman that Fang Changge handed over to him to Li Xiaojiang.

Li Xiaojiang cried with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Xiaojiang understood the weight of this talisman, and when he fought with General Meng before, he could casually lead thousands of men and horses to fight. But now the Tang army adds up to less than two thousand - this also includes the scattered alliance of those thousand people, if not less.

Li Chengzhou urged them to set off and prepare, stop saying these polite words, winning the battle is the key!

Li Chengzhou looked at Li Xiaojiang and turned back three times, and muttered in his heart: Professional things are left to professional people to do, suspicious people don't need to be used, and people are not suspicious.

Now he has no other way but to leave it to the two of them.
