Woo woo, the low sound of the horn sounded at the end of the horizon, with a hint of white clouds and empty desolation, and the majesty of the ten thousand beasts of the grassland, straight into the nine heavens of the sky.

On the streets of Suzaku City, there are many people, stepping on and stepping, and a few fast horses quickly jumped over the bluestone road and went straight to the head of the North City.

After neighing, the horse's front hooves were raised, and it stopped suddenly, but the man on the horse quickly turned over and dismounted, and then quickly climbed up the tall city wall along the stone stairs behind the city wall.

On the head of the city, a general in armor saw a group of people in the city, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Beicheng Mingyue snorted, but walked quickly to the battlement of the city wall, looking far away, although the Suzaku Plain is a plain of a horse and a flat river, but as the political and economic center of Chuzhou, the Suzaku City can be described as a town in three miles, a city in five miles.

Standing on the top of the castle, the surrounding towns are arranged like satellites on the periphery, these satellite towns are not only the outer cities of Suzaku Daijo, but also the outer fortresses of Suzaku Daijo, each with a solid stone wall, as well as a complete defense system.

Looking through the gaps in these satellite towns, a black line on the horizon grew thicker and thicker, and the melodious sound of the horn seemed to tell them, get ready, we're coming.

Beicheng Mingyue looked at the Li Tang army in the distance, as the so-called people are more than a thousand, stretching for several miles, and the people are more than 10,000, overwhelming, from the results of the scouts' verification, the Li Tang army from the north to the south is the strength of two forbidden guards and two Zhichong Mansions, and the number does not exceed 50,000.

However, these 50,000 are the main force, in addition to the soldiers, an army has a lot of baggage, and the number of auxiliary soldiers is also quite a lot, Li Tang's army has pulled a lot of young and strong men in order to transport grain and grass, and these people add up to 20,000 or 30,000 people.

As early as the loss of several peripheral towns in front, Beicheng Mingyue knew that Li Tang's army would be killed in these few days, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but be a little amazed in her heart.

For the empire, Li Tang is undoubtedly the number one opponent, recuperating for five hundred years, the remnants of Li Tang who used to be only one million have now surged to tens of millions, and in the eight cities of the cage, the land available for cultivation can definitely not support so many people, that is to say, in order to survive, this group of Li Tang remnants is afraid that they have never eaten a full meal.

Moreover, the existence of the remnants of the Li Tang royal family is a bane, the remnants of Li Tang who have a radical destiny have not forgotten their wish to restore the country for hundreds of years, and when the eldest brother empire was weak, the strong desire that had been pent up for hundreds of years burst out of the power that surprised everyone.

Originally, the empire had the opportunity to completely eradicate this poisonous seedling before it grew up, but the battle for the throne caused the internal depression to cause trouble, and the empire lost the best opportunity, and when Li Tang grew stronger, it was too late for the empire to eradicate Li Tang. "The Holy Sect army, where has it arrived" Beicheng Mingyue turned her head and asked.

"Lord Hui Qincha, the Holy Sect army is seventy miles west of the city, and it is blocked outside the West Bird City."

Vermilion Bird City, the teahouse opposite the Golden Harvest Rice Shop, because of the impact of the war, it has become extremely cold here.

"Isn't Young Master Jiang going to avoid it?" Liu Bowen held the misty teacup, and his eyes swept to the head of the Jiang family who seemed to be a little interested in the opposite side.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's not yet to the point of fleeing, the Vermilion Bird City is also a thousand-year-old city, and it has been reinforced and expanded by generations of people, so it shouldn't be so easy to break."

Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "It is people who defend the city, and people are also needed to defend the strong city defense."

"What's the matter, Mr. Liu has no confidence in the emperor at all?" Jiang Chen said.

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Of course, I hope that the emperor can hold the Vermilion Bird City, but the emperor is not two or three, and the current situation has kept today, tomorrow, and this month, but how long can it be held in the end?"

"Suzaku City has now become an isolated city, and the Empire's reinforcements can't be counted on, and the city will fall sooner or later."

"Heh, Mr. Liu seems to have forgotten your young master, Ping'an Hou should not sit back and watch the fall of Suzaku City, otherwise, Mr. Liu would not be sitting firmly on Mount Tai here."

Jiang Chen said and continued: "Okay, let's get down to business, Mr. Liu came to me this time, not just to let me escape, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, although the Leng family and my Jiang family are not as good as Qin Jin, they are also grasshoppers on a rope, just say anything directly."

Liu Bowen took a sip of tea, but raised his head, looked at Jiang Chen, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then there is something to offend, and I hope that Haihan, the head of the Jiang family."

"Oh"

"Liu Mou is usually busy, he will take a stroll in the city, or read some books, a hundred years ago, the Jiang family was in this Vermilion Bird City for a while, and he has repeatedly served as the city lord, and even the largest expansion of the Vermilion Bird City was also presided over by the Jiang family?"

"Mr. Liu said clearly" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and saw Liu Bowen with some puzzlement, not understanding what the other party meant by saying this.

Liu Bowen chuckled lightly and said: "As a super city with a population of millions, in addition to the wide city walls, there are also the streets of Bada, and the countless houses in the square, but under the ground, there is also a systematic drainage system."

"This is nature" Not to mention a super city like Suzaku Castle, even if it is an ordinary small city, it also has a special drainage system, otherwise the sewage and rainwater cannot be discharged, and the whole city will stink or even be flooded.

"I once went to the castle lord Yaen and secretly flipped through it, but the news I got was that the drainage system map of Suzaku Castle was burned in the battle more than a hundred years ago, and it was the Jiang family who re-expanded Suzaku Castle at the beginning, and I think the Jiang family may have a spare map."

Jiang Chen sighed and said, "What is the use of Mr. Liu's request for this underground sewer map?"

"Of course it is useful, I can't help but say that your ancestor was a long-term person, in that time the Suzaku Great City was expanded, the underground waterway was built in the way of a large tunnel, the main waterway, about one zhang five high, the widest part has three zhang, and the aqueduct, there are also zhang high, the width of the Suzaku Great City has not appeared in the waterway blockage, but it has always relied on this design. ”

Jiang Chen is not a fool, Liu Bowen said it in such detail, where does he not know the other party's thoughts, higher than zhang, wider than zhang, and all over the underground of the Vermilion Bird City, this is almost the most natural Tibetan soldier dong, and this waterway is connected to the inside and outside of the city, if you have this waterway map, then the towering city defense of the Vermilion Bird City suddenly became an ornament.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said: "I really don't know this, after I go back, I will ask the housekeepers to rummage through it, if I find it, I will definitely send it to Mr. Liu, but Ping'an Hou wants to enter the Vermilion Bird City, the city lord of the Vermilion Bird City, I, Jiang Chen, am the best."

Liu Bowen nodded with a smile and said, "This is not a big problem, the young master will not be stingy with the position of a city lord, not to mention that the talent of the Jiang family master is enough to assume the position of the city lord of this city."

Nanping, Zhuge Liang stood on top of the crown of the giant beast of the ancient tower, condescendingly overlooking the surroundings of Nanping: "The Holy Sect army has reached the periphery of the Vermilion Bird City, and in the north, Li Tang's army has also arrived dozens of miles north of the city, and the partial division on the east road has also come from the east, and now the Vermilion Bird City is surrounded on three sides, although the road towards our side is still smooth, but recently there have been more and more scouts, and the transportation of grain and grass has also been restricted."

"The food transported to the city is almost enough to support more than three months, now it depends on how resolute the emperor's resistance is, the more fierce the battle in the Vermilion Bird City, the more benefits we can get, but can the emperor hold out for three months?" Guo Jia was a little skeptical.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, because this question was obviously not something that people could guess: "The Holy Sect will still attack Nan Ping, let's worry about it first, how is the reorganization of the two divisions going?"

"It's almost done, all the Sharp Beast Cavalry are in separate camps and used as a whole, and the new Leopard Cavalry candidates are also being selected, but it will take a month or two to have combat effectiveness."

"Nanlin Mansion should also hurry up"

On the fifteenth day of the second month of the imperial calendar, the Valley of Weeping Blood, the sound of crackling firecrackers was deafening, and the entire Weeping Blood Fort was shrouded in a lively hustle and bustle, and in the main hall of the Weeping Blood Castle, the grand wedding banquet slowly opened.

There are too many people, Leng Zhuo just feels like this, not to mention the spacious banquet hall in the past, even the small square outside the main castle is already full of tables and chairs, and those with heads and faces in the banquet hall, small households, even if they are rich, can only sit in the square.

Fortunately, the weather in February is not very cold, and there are many people, but it does not seem cold.

"Huh, I don't feel it on weekdays, but today I found out that there are so many people with money and faces" Leng Zhuo leaned lazily on the sofa chair, letting him go to war and cut people, and he didn't feel so tired.

However, complaining is complaining, but his eyes suddenly lit up, after worshipping heaven and earth, he had to toast next, so he had to change his clothes, but Nangong Yuhu, Long Wushuang and the three girls of Baishuang took off their clothes directly in front of Leng Zhuo.

Gollum, Leng Zhuo swallowed and foamed, although the third girl's body had already gone from top to bottom, but such a large change of clothes still made Leng Zhuo's eyes shine, but unfortunately, he couldn't sleep together.

Nangong Yuhu rolled his eyes, glared at Leng Zhuo, and said, "You still don't get up, change your clothes?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, rest for a while, the three of you are good, you have been sitting in the back, I am going to greet the guests with a smile, this face is almost smiling, I really don't know where so many relatives from your family came from" Leng Zhuo was depressed when he thought about it, although there were not many people who made him worship this hall, but the elders always had to worship.

And these three daughters are all families with a face, especially the Nangong family, just the relatives within the five suits, counting it, there are no more than one or two hundred, seven aunts and eight aunts, and many Leng Zhuo have not remembered any of them, and Bai Shuang has a little less relatives with Long Wushuang's family, but there are always thirty or forty numbers.

Hearing Leng Zhuo's complaint, Nangong Yuhu laughed out loud and said: "You are content, where is this, this time I came, but they are all relatives in Yangzhou Mansion, if it weren't for the war, relatives in other places would also have to cheer, when the time comes, there will be more than a thousand people, but hundreds."

Hmph, it's really a big business, compared to the Nangong family, the Leng family is a light pole, there seems to be no one on it except for a grandfather, and as for relatives, there is really no one.
