Chapter 470 Silence
"Okay." Chu Qingge nodded.

After making simple repairs at the inn, they set off again to the city.

Although the speed on the road had slowed down a bit, they had set off too early after all, and the people from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau were not able to meet up with their families.

But after all, there is a long distance between Zhao County and Lin County, so the head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau is not particularly worried.

When they arrived at Zhoucheng, Chu Qingge discovered that although they had left early, Chenyang County when they set out was quite far away from Zhoucheng.

Several other counties were closer to the city, so when Chu Qingge and the others arrived at the city, there was already a long queue outside the city.

They all fled to the city from other counties.

After all, everyone knows that the prefecture city should be the most difficult place to attack in Yuzhou. If the prefecture city fails, the people of Yuzhou...

Still really don't know where to go.

However, there are also some people who are well-off and can leave, and choose to go to Jingzhou and Chuzhou, but even if this is the case, there are also many outside the city.

Probably because too many people wanted to enter the city, the city temporarily set up strict control checkpoints to prevent everyone from entering and exiting the city freely in the name of preventing spies.

Although Chu Qingge and the others were rich, they had no power, so they had to queue up to enter the city, give money to the city defenders, and ask them to find Chen Youshi.

With Chen Youshi's recommendation, they entered the prefecture city at dusk.

As soon as he entered, Chu Qingge felt why the city was the first in the state. The entire city was built on the mountains and faced two long rivers.

The actual area is about three times that of the county seat of Chenyang County. It is surrounded by city walls, and the condition of the army is completely different from that of the county defenders.

They are a real army, much more reliable than the defensive armies in the county town.

The strength of the entire city was one hundred thousand, and because the magistrate of Yuzhou City was in the fourth rank, he was not at all a ninth-rank official like Magistrate Liu.

He asked for help, and Jingzhou, Chuzhou and even Jinzhou came to support him. So now, the entire state has 20 troops.

It is the full force of a normal state, so the city of Yuzhou is still quite safe at present.

Before Chu Qingge and the others arrived, the rice was almost ripe, as long as the Varan army did not capture the city of Yuzhou immediately.

They can harvest a large amount of food and grass, and face off against Varan's army for a month in Zhaoxian and other places far away from the capital, which is no problem at all.

It's just that what Chu Qingge wanted was stability, not temporary preservation, so after entering the city, Chen Youshi was also very direct.

"Ms. Chu, as you can see, there are many refugees fleeing from the city. Although the imperial court has temporarily set up a soup kitchen and recruited strong men as militia.

The stranded problem of some refugees was solved, but it was not a long-term solution. The Varan army was in turmoil, and the remnants of Southern Chu were behind it. "

Therefore, Yuzhou City seems to be safe, but in fact it is still on the dangerous line.

"You and your wife have been a life-saving grace to my family, so I won't beat around the bush. Zhoucheng may not be a place where you can settle down."

Although Chen Youshi was unhappy with the Chen family saying they wanted to flee to Jingzhou and Chuzhou, Chen Youshi also knew very well that these old guys had the right idea.

"Jingzhou and Chuzhou have a vast territory, a large population, rich products, strong military forces, and good generals to guard them. They are more suitable for settling down than Yuzhou."

Chen Youshi said: "As the governor of Yuzhou, I can't evacuate, but you can."

Chu Qingge was silent for a moment.
