The old queen mother immediately asked Chu Nan if there was any way to keep the imperial city for a month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Chu Nan immediately said: "After the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Qi State besieged the imperial city for six days, three days of which were casting siege equipment and three days of siege, and now the imperial city guards and the Praetorian Guards can go up the city wall for less than 20,000 people. ”
"Our problem lies in the shortage of manpower, and the population of more than 2 million in an imperial city is not as high as the more than 300,000 people in the Qi country? ”
Emperor Guo Renhe sighed: "But we can't let the people defend the city, and we don't have so much money to take care of?"
Chu Nan said: "Your next holy decree is to say that the time has come for the country to be ruined and the family to be destroyed, as long as the imperial city is lost, and the property of the people's families must not be robbed by the enemy, can those who have young wives and daughters in the family have a good end? ”
"Telling those people that there are cities on the border that have been broken by the Qi army, the men have been taken away and made slaves, the women have been captured for sexual pleasure, and even hundreds of thousands of people in a city have been slaughtered, and you have forcibly selected a young man out of every three families of ten people to forcibly defend the city. ”
"If one out of ten people is selected to defend the city, there are two million people in the imperial city, and there are 200,000 people who can defend the city? ”
"There are also more than 100,000 displaced people, tell them that the reason why they lost their relatives, lost their homes, and came out to beg for food and starve was because of the people of Qi State, and if they wanted to take revenge, they would go to the city wall to defend the city, and the treatment would be the same as that of the people in the imperial city. ”
Chu Nan took a sip of tea and said, "I don't believe that there are more than 300,000 people in the imperial city, and I can't defend the imperial city." ”
Chu Nan's words woke up everyone in the room, his remarks can be described as high, in fact, they can't be blamed for not thinking that when countries in this world fight, they often fight with the army, and they have nothing to do with the people, the people are the people, whoever is the emperor, he is the people, and it is the same for the people.
But it's not very good, the army of Qi State broke into the city, can it not be burned and looted? Aren't those displaced people wandering around because of the war? Who can say clearly how many relatives of those displaced people died at the hands of Qi State.
After Emperor Guo Ren and the first holy decree went down, tens of thousands of young people poured onto the city wall.
Qi Guotie's riding on the land plain can be regarded as a sharp weapon, and the siege of the city is also to dismount and climb the wall.
The Imperial City withstood the first wave of Qi State's attack today without any pressure.
Qi also found that there were suddenly many more people on the city wall to defend the city, and increased his forces to carry out the second wave of siege.
The second wave of the offensive was rapid, and the people guarding the imperial city suffered a large number of casualties, and these untrained youths fought with the Qi army who went up to the city wall, often with four to one casualties, and soon the second wave of the Qi offensive was blocked back.
After another day, the people of Qi besieged the city and did not attack, and the people in the imperial city analyzed it and determined that the people of Qi should be making a large number of ladders to kick the city, and the imperial city also organized people to train them.
The siege of Qi was three days, and in the early morning of the third day, Qi came to the city wall with a large number of ladders and began to attack the city.
The soldiers of the Qi State had an extra layer of bamboo simple armor, and this time the attack of the Qi State still failed.
There are fewer and fewer people in the imperial city who participate in the defense of the city, and nearly 100,000 people have died, and all the people are afraid to defend the city wall.
Five days later, less than 50,000 people were willing to defend the city, which saddened the emperor Guo Renhe and the two prime ministers.
Under the leadership of the Queen Mother, the group came to visit Chu Nan again, and it happened that Chu Nan went to the Star Picking Tower to cultivate.
After Chu Nan finished cultivating, he walked on the street with the guards.
"You let go of my mother!"
"You bad guy, let go of my mother. An eleven or twelve-year-old boy shouted.
A young man who looked like a boy walked forward with the guards, and the five guards grabbed a young and beautiful young woman and followed closely.
Chu Nan stopped the boy's brother, and said with a look in his eyes: "Why did you kidnap the child's mother." ”
Brother Gongzi immediately said angrily: "Do you need to tell you about this son? Hurry up and get out of the truth, otherwise this son will hold you to the government. ”
When the boy saw that someone was helping him stop these bad people, he knelt down and said, "Engong save my mother, my father is guarding the city wall, and my mother and I went to deliver food, and when we came back, we met this bad person, and they wanted to take my mother and go back to do bad things." ”
Chu Nan didn't listen to it, but when he heard the reason, he immediately guessed that it must be this boy who wanted to rob this young woman to go back to lust, and said angrily at the moment: "I don't care who your father is, I will put you in the square to announce your evil deeds in a while, let you die in front of the people of the world, and give an explanation to those who are only guarding the city wall." ”
Although the holy decree of letting the people guard the city was not given by his Chu man, and it was not his Chu family's country, but this idea was made by his Chu man, and he had to be responsible for the people who guarded the city and give them an explanation.
As soon as Chu Nan gave the order, the guards around him arrested Brother Gongzi.
Even if the guards around Brother Gongzi are masters, they are not as good as a guard beside Chu Nan, and Chu Nan's guards are all famous people in the rivers and lakes, and they are all hired for a lot of money.
Brother Gongzi was really scared at this time, and kept howling there.
Coincidentally, Brother Gongzi met his father Li Kuishou.
"Father, help me. ”
"Father, help me. ”
Li Kuishou, who was accompanying the emperor and the queen mother to pick up the star tower, suddenly heard someone calling him, it's okay not to look at it, it's amazing to see it, his baby son was caught, and his nose and face were swollen.
"The one who dares to treat my son like this, don't let go of my son quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill your whole family. ”
"Dead old man, whose whole family are you going to kill. Chu Nan turned around and said.
Chu Nan was going to the square, so he turned his back to them.
Seeing that it was Chu Nan, Li Kuishou said with a gloomy face: "I don't know Lord Chu, why you beat Xiao'er, if you don't give an explanation, the old man will not spare you if he fights for this old life." ”
Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning hurriedly said: "This may be a misunderstanding. ”
Chu Nan immediately told what he had seen and heard.
After hearing this, everyone thought that Chu Nan was right, and although the right prime minister Li Kui was not good-looking, he said: "Even so, the child will not die at night, not to mention that Lord Chu, you have no right to kill him, you give me that evil animal, and I will not spare him when I go home." ”
Chu Nan snorted coldly and said: "That child's father is defending the city, resisting foreign enemies, but your child is hurting their relatives, if you don't kill him, how can I be right against those people who defend the city." ”
Right Prime Minister Li Kuishou said with a blue face: "How can a pariahs compare with my son, and if you give them a large amount of property when you go back, you can compensate them, Lord Chu, you still give me my son." ”
"Untouchables?" Chu Nan said with a cold face: "In my eyes, people are all equal, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Chu Nan turned around and said, "Let's go, take him to the Imperial City Square." ”
The guards around him are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they are naturally disgusted with this kind of dog-fighting son, and they are not even afraid of the prime minister, they are also afraid of a bird.
Emperor Guo Renhe wanted to help the right minister intercede, but was stopped by the queen mother.
The queen mother said: "It should be killed, and after a while, I will personally order the killing." "She doesn't care whose son it is now, if this matter is not handled well, will there be people to defend the city?
The queen mother spoke, and the right man said that he had a headache and went home in advance, and every step he took, his heart hurt, and his son was calling for help behind him.
The son of the right prime minister died, and the queen personally ordered to kill him, but it was just that the young master of an official's family bullied the wives and daughters of the people guarding the city, and he had to give an explanation to the people after being caught, and did not mention which official's son this person was.
The royal family attaches so much importance to the people, and there are many more people who flock to the city wall to defend the city.
Chu Nan walked around the study with a gloomy face, it was the people who died, and it was those officials who were blessed, how could they do it.
Chu Nan immediately went to the palace at night and told the emperor Guo Renhe and the old queen mother that if he wanted to keep the imperial city, he would let all the officials in the imperial city, the monk Ding escort his son to the city wall, and the first rank of the master sent out hundreds of family members and guards, the second grade eighty, the third grade fifty, and the fourth grade thirty. Level by level, the seven-rank officials either went to defend the city in person, or lined up a son to defend the city.
The old queen mother immediately asked the emperor to send a holy decree to recruit.
As soon as this holy decree was issued, there were immediately more than 30,000 tigers and wolves on the city wall, and the guards of these officials' families were much more harmful than ordinary soldiers.
As soon as these tiger and wolf divisions went up, it was extremely simple to defend the city. Chu Nan was also hated by many officials, and the one who hated him the most was naturally the right minister Li Kuitou.
For the next half a month, the city wall was as solid as a copper wall. No matter how the Qi State attacked the city, it would not be effective.
