The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 20 Between the Cat and the Mouse

Mazi scratched his head, but couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, so he simply said it plainly.

Zhu Wei asked again: "Can you roughly estimate how many soldiers and horses the emperor lost this time?"

Compared with the confrontation between the two armies, they usually rob houses and houses as children's play.

After a while, Mazi regained his thoughts from the shock, and answered Zhu Wei's question just now: "We can't find out what's going on in Sanya Pass, but on the post road leading to Yuzhou, seeing the emperor's old man's remnants and defeated generals, it's probably damaged. More than half of them. According to their fleeing speed, they should be approaching Yuzhou City by this time."

Zhu Wei considered himself to be a sophisticated figure, and he was no worse than the counselors around the generals of the imperial court.But he never underestimated the skills of those advisers.

This incident really made him dumbfounded, and he looked at the soldiers and horses of the imperial court with admiration.

Beidi soldiers and horses can be regarded as tired soldiers who have traveled long distances, but on the contrary, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court waited for work with ease and were full of energy, but they did not even survive a round in the confrontation with Beidi soldiers and horses.

Nearly half of it was damaged, and it was extremely embarrassing!
He couldn't figure it out, where did the harsh and miscellaneous taxes collected by the court go?I even want to rush to the old emperor and ask him, are all the advisers and generals he raises pigs?
Zhu Wei asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

Mazi nodded heavily: "How dare I make up such a big event. They took the post road down the mountain, walked around the foot of the mountain, winding and straight, and estimated that they should arrive here in the evening. But we directly Traveling through the mountains, so faster than them."

Wu Mo didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he took the opportunity to interject: "Brother, do you think we should pick a team to bully before the old emperor arrives? If we grab it, we will withdraw, and wait for the old emperor to lead us." The soldiers are coming, and we have already run away. Besides, they are in danger now, so I forgive him for not having time to trouble us."

Mazi and the other brothers around looked at Zhu Wei expectantly.

"Don't stare at me like this, I will always give you opportunities." Zhu Wei cleared his throat a few times, glanced at the brothers, and raised his voice and announced: "We are resting at the same place today, and ordered the leaders of each team to come over for a meeting !"

Dayu's vigor was almost exhausted, and the previous rules of not going against the government should be relaxed.

As soon as Ma Zi and Wu Mo heard the elder brother's words, they knew that there was a chance to go down the mountain to grab a wave. They both smiled and called their brothers to go to the back team to pass the message.

at the foot of the mountain.

The masters of Prince Qian's Mansion just received the news that Yujia was ambushed by Beidi's soldiers and horses at Sanya Pass, and more than half of the team was lost.

Xia Jing was quite calm, but the masters of the palace were obviously frightened. They have lived in the brocades since birth, so how have they ever experienced strong winds and waves?
Lost more than half?

Can the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou intercept Beidi's chasing army?
If they can't stop it, what should they do?
Do they really want to be the people of subjugation?

Zeng Yan licked his lips nervously: "Then what shall we do next? Are we waiting for the prince here?"

The four brothers looked at each other and found that their heart was beating a little faster.

Li Chengyi is most concerned about personal safety: "If Beidi soldiers and horses are chasing after us, what should we do? I don't know what happened to the women and children at home? It's really frustrating!"

"Housekeeper, go and call the captain of the guard over, let's discuss how to take precautions next time." As the eldest son of the palace, Li Chengshang tried his best not to show his timidity no matter how flustered he was.

It's just that if everyone ignores his trembling hands, it will be more convincing that he is the unruffled uncle of the palace!
Xia Jing feels that it is necessary to improve prevention and prevent accidents from happening.

but.
"It's impossible for Beidi's soldiers and horses to keep on clinging to the imperial chariot because they are tired and exhausted. I reckon they will stop to rest when they arrive in Yuzhou Fucheng."

Li Chengshang swallowed, although his words were unbelievable, but he felt a little more relaxed after hearing this.

He looked at Xia Jing, his eyes were dim, and he asked, "Why do you think that Beidi soldiers and horses will not cross Yuzhou City? The Dayu Dynasty has reached the end of its life, why don't they go all out to wipe out the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty? In this way, don't they become the sole rulers of this country?"

"Beidi soldiers and horses traveled long distances, and it is a fact that people are exhausted. If they blindly go deep alone, they will wipe out the Li royal family regardless of the consequences. Then, they will also bear the risk of being counterattacked accordingly." Xia Jing talked eloquently, and described the current situation. The situation in the world is simply analyzed for everyone.

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, she continued: "But if Beidi stops in Yuzhou City, it will be regarded as robbing Yuzhou Prefecture and returning to the capital. The large area of ​​land north of Gyeonggi is waiting for them to waste everything and wait for new ones. There has been a severe drought in the north for three years. , they have to be busy. As for the south of the capital, they will make money by first governing the north of the capital, and the south of the area, they can gradually develop it in the future."

To put it bluntly, Beidi's army doesn't pay much attention to the military strength of the Dayu Dynasty today.

Beidi may even think that Dayu's world is as simple as picking something out of a bag for their iron cavalry!
They have long regarded the world of the Yu Dynasty as their own.

Everyone present was surprised. No one thought that Xia Jing, a housewife, could have such a clear analysis of the current situation?
These words were like enlightenment, giving them a more accurate understanding of the current situation.

However, whether her judgment is correct is still open to question.

Li Chengshang pursed his lips, and finally asked the doubts in his heart: "What you just said is just your guess, why do you think that the Beidi cavalry will not go south again?"

Xia Jing's mood was not as heavy as that of everyone present.

She leaned back against the tree trunk to make herself more comfortable, and then said calmly: "Why? Just because I know that the official granary and righteous granary in Yuzhou Prefecture are full of grain, and this is the backup granary in Gyeonggi. You are the people in power in Beidi, how would you choose? Can you put away the food and grass to feed the soldiers and horses, and go after the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty who is lingering and has his own trap?"

Who knows if the old emperor has left behind, if he accidentally suffers a disaster, the gain will outweigh the loss!
Li Chengshang really wanted to refute that the emperor of their Dayu Dynasty was much more important than the food in those two warehouses.But he also knows that the individual knows the beauty of the individual. The Beidi people may have different ideas from him. The Beidi people may really value food more.

Li Chengshang turned pale with distress when he thought that the two warehouses of grain had benefited Beidi people for nothing.

Compared with her panicked sons, Xia Jing prefers to act calmly.

Since the team can't continue their journey, let the housekeeper arrange for people to make as much dry food as possible.The well water collected in another courtyard two days ago, just use it, don't feel bad!

There are so many barrels of water in the carriage, and when the old emperor's team arrives, I don't know what will happen. The water may be cheaper for others when it is not used.

The rich and powerful families who received the news were all waiting anxiously. They discovered the movement of the Wangfu team, and followed suit, arranging people to make dry food.

And some teams who have no connections and haven't received the news, smell the aroma of food in the air, and look at these teams curiously.
