This mountain is mine

Chapter 254 The Pessimistic Prospect

The bright moon shines on the snow, and the wind is strong and mournful.

Yu Miaomiao couldn't see Zhao Man's situation.However, at this time, her mood was similar to that of Zhao Man.

On the way back, the dark guard had already told her all about her current situation.

"The imperial court was also worried about scaring the enemy. The news did not leak out. Not many people knew about it. Liu Tingzhou and Zeng Xian's return to Beijing and the mobilization of troops and horses were also used as an excuse to reinforce Liaodong. Everything was done in secret, and not many people knew the news."

Yu Miaomiao snorted, "Worried about me running away?"

The dark guards were silent, and Yu Miaomiao also knew their ability to inquire about the news, so he didn't doubt the reliability of the news, and didn't bother to ask the source of the news.

"The garrison dispatched from the Chengdu government was originally intended to deter Tubo. Now the emperor has about [-] people who can be appropriated. They have already traveled to Junzhou, and they will be able to surround the mausoleum in a few days. There are also people in the palace who proclaim the decree. I will arrive with my wife step by step."

The imperial court's consistent style is to give courtesy first and then soldiers, and send an imperial decree to take her back to the capital. If she resists, she will be arrested by force.Yu Miaomiao was not surprised to be divided into two groups.

It's just that time is so tight, so I didn't tell her earlier, and this is not the time to complain about them.

Hurrying quickly, I arrived at Fangling City in the afternoon, my stomach was fine, Yu Miaomiao gasped for a while, and sent someone to find Zhou Xiuwu.

Zhou Xiuwu was not surprised to see Yu Miaomiao, and even had a hint of admiration. It can be seen that he was not sincere in persuading her to leave earlier, but it was because of Zhao Man's confession.

Yu Miaomiao didn't care what he thought, first asked Zhou Xiuwu about his preparations, and he answered them one by one, without hiding anything.

It is nothing more than that Zhao Man left 5000 people, and they have settled down properly. Fangling City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains and forests are dangerous.

As soon as the imperial court took action, it immediately closed the gates of the city. Although the other three sides relied on the danger of mountains and forests, there were hidden rivers and passages to enter and exit. Hundreds of people were sent everywhere, and the remaining 500 people were patrolling around the mausoleum to prevent some people from rioting.

Counting that there are still 5000 people missing, Zhou Xiuwu only said: "Madam will find out soon."

He is a veteran of the battlefield, and he said that the weapons, wood, stones, water, food and grass that can be used to defend the city are all ready.

Yu Miaomiao couldn't think of anything else for a moment, and she didn't dare to push Zhou Xiuwu on the matter of military equipment. Seeing that he was calm and murderous, he thought he was well prepared, so he didn't ask much.

It's just that a woman's mind should be more delicate after all. After thinking for a while, she said: "General Zhou has prepared very well, and now I have to inform the Su family to prepare medicinal materials and gauze, and transport them all to the mansion next to the city gate. Find a big house nearby and wait. We also gathered our workers and craftsmen."

Although these people have some disabilities in their hands and feet and cannot fight, but once a war starts, it is still possible to help the wounded.

Zhou Xiuwu originally thought that even if Yu Miaomiao was stronger than other women, he didn't expect her to arrange anything for these military preparations. Now, after hearing what she said, he put away his contemptuous thoughts.

He is a killer on the battlefield, but apart from the deployment of troops, he is really a big boss. In recent years, he has handled personnel affairs like a steward, and he still can't consider such details.

In particular, he is a very machismo. He always feels that it is only natural for soldiers to go to the battlefield. For those who are already disabled, Zhao Man has let them live an ordinary life, so they don't need to be involved in the battlefield. He never thought of asking them for help.

Of course, he ruled out such an insignificant disability as he injured an eye.

At this time, Yu Miaomiao proposed, and he quickly agreed.

But Yu Miaomiao hesitated for a while, and then said: "The imperial court will not make things difficult for others, but these craftsmen and farmers, they are bound together with us, it is inevitable..."

Zhou Xiuwu said seriously: "Their lives were given by the prince and his wife, not the prince, they were executed as deserters at the beginning, and there was a drought that year, they should have lived and died together with Fang Ling."

Yu Miaomiao glanced at him, and said: "Now it's urgent, send people to go everywhere to inform, those who want to go out of the city can go by themselves or send their family members away, they must leave before the application time, otherwise the city gate will be closed , life and death will follow us."

She can only give two hours at most, and she also has to consider her own safety.Earlier, the secret guard said that the people who announced the decree were coming soon, and that the troops who had already arrived in Junzhou would be coming to the city tomorrow at the latest.

She usually interacts with these people, they pay for their labor, she pays their wages, and they pay both goods and money.After getting along for a long time, there are also some feelings. People's hearts are fleshy, and she doesn't want these people to be burdened for no reason.

What's more, she left the knife to the Yang family and came back alone.Who can guarantee that it will go well this time, treason is a serious crime and can be killed on the spot.In particular, these people dragged their families and lived a stable life for so long. If they didn't want to, they would cause troubles for nothing and make people complain. Besides, they couldn't be expected to help.

"This is what deserters did." Zhou Xiuwu was still dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Yu Miaomiao interrupted.

He could only yell depressingly, and a skinny monkey-like boy came in, and Zhou Xiuwu gave him instructions.

Yu Miaomiao said again: "Notify the villagers as well."

Zhou Xiuwu had no choice but to do so.Before anyone could go out, a hidden guard suddenly appeared in the yard, and urgently reported: "Madam, the person sent by the imperial court to announce the decree has already entered the city, and he will be here in an hour."

Yu Miaomiao was taken aback, "So fast..."

If she came back later, wouldn't the person who announced the decree miss her?If she wasn't in Fangling, she wouldn't be able to get rid of her ties in this village. In the past few years, the Tian family has moved away one after another, and the rest are basically their own people.

Zhou Xiuwu hurriedly said: "Madam, I will make arrangements first, and Liao San will listen to your arrangements here."

As he spoke, he pointed to a man who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Yu Miaomiao also knew him. This man was in charge of the terraced fields. He got married years ago. He was also a girl from the pharmacy in Zaohua Village.

Yu Miaomiao nodded, and Zhou Xiuwu strode out.

Before they had time to inform the village, just at this time, the Wen family and the Sun family heard that Yu Miaomiao was coming back and came to see her. When they entered the door, they met Zhou Xiuwu with a gloomy face.

Zhou Xiuwu said directly: "The imperial court is not benevolent to the lord. Now, while the lord is out leading the army, he sent people to arrest the wife. All those who sheltered me will be killed without mercy. What do you think should be done?"

Although Zhou Xiuwu was usually full of hostility, today it was particularly intense, and the two women would usually take a detour when they saw him. There was a tremor, teeth chattering up and down, and he couldn't speak clearly, "This emperor, the imperial court..."

It is too far away for them to capture anything.

They are just ordinary village women. Although they know that their husband has fought with Zhao Man, they have only been doing some farming in the past few years, and occasionally go hunting in the mountains, and they don't know the inside story.

The men in their family were all injured or too old to fight anymore, and they also followed the military law and didn't whisper things to the women in the family.

It was Wen's brain that turned quickly. Hearing Zhou Xiuwu's sneer, he turned the spear in his hand, wishing to smear some blood on the spear, and saw Yu Miaomiao coming out of the room with a face as heavy as water, looking at them indifferently, without saying a word .

Wen Shi hurriedly knelt down with a "plop", Sun Shi also knelt down after her in a daze, and the rest of the women could only kneel down on the ground in panic.

Wen said with some trembling: "If it weren't for the prince, the head of the family would have died under the swords of the Liao people and the Xixia people. I'm out now, my life and the present good life are all given by my lord and madam."

After saying that, even kowtowed repeatedly, Mrs. Sun came back to her senses, and said tremblingly: "Listen to Madam, General Zhou."

Mrs. Sun also knew that Zhou Xiuwu was a general before, and he was respected by his family members. He usually called him General Zhou. Now that Mrs. Sun spoke to Zhou Xiuwu for the first time, she subconsciously called him that.

Zhou Xiuwu snorted, said no more, and passed them out.

Yu Miaomiao rubbed her throbbing forehead, calmed down, and after a moment of silence, said: "Get up, the city gate is not yet closed, and the imperial decree will arrive in an hour, you can pack up your things and go out of the city, and talk to other people in the village." Say it all, hurry up if you want to go."

Turning around, he said to Liao San: "Those who want to leave will be paid an extra three months and sent someone to help clean up."

Liao San responded in a low voice and told people to prepare.

The Sun family and the Wen family heard the words, but they didn't raise their heads. Before they could speak, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the house, and then a man's voice came, "Madam, we won't go."

"It's freezing and snowing outside, it's better to stay here and live in peace, I'm not going anywhere, if those people want to come, let's fight back."

"Guard the housing mausoleum and wait for the prince to come back."

"..."

Almost all the men in the village are here.

Then, someone scolded his wife again, "If anyone wants to leave, get the hell out of here, and you will no longer be my mother-in-law of the Zou family!"

"My son can't be a coward either."

"I can't live like a human outside, so why cry, is it short of your food or short of your drink."

"..."

Men are respected, the world is like this, no matter how harsh their yelling is, Yu Miaomiao doesn't bother to care about it at this time, even a woman who really wants to leave is given up by this scolding.

Yu Miaomiao listened silently, there was chaos outside the house for a while.

She walked out slowly, Wen Shi quickly got up to help her, she sighed in her heart, and went out.

It became quiet outside, waiting for Yu Miaomiao to speak.

Yu Miaomiao scanned the crowd and saw that the men looked dignified and showed no sign of shrinking back. They were able to travel to Fangling earlier, which shows that they were also stubborn.

I also saw that although there were many women in the crowd who were weeping in fear, no one asked to leave. Several children were so scared by the battle of the adults that they did not dare to cry loudly.

Yu Miaomiao didn't care if any of these people had double-mindedness, she felt a little relieved when she saw this, and said leisurely, "What I said just now stands."

Seeing that someone was going to interrupt, she raised her hand to stop her: "Time is running out now, and there will be riots in the city after a while. The women who don't leave will go home and take out all the food they have stored. Coarse and miscellaneous grains are fine. The more the better, prepare steamed buns and pancakes." , There are clean gauzes at home, scald them with hot water and dry them for preparation, and the chickens and ducks at home are also slaughtered for preparation, now go back and prepare.”

Now that the weather is cold, I don't worry about these things being broken. Let's prepare first. People will think less when they are busy.

Immediately, the women looked at each other in blank dismay, and after getting the arrangement, they all dispersed in a swarm, and half of the people outside the house suddenly disappeared.

Yu Miaomiao then ordered Wen and Sun beside her: "Sister Wen, you have also learned characters in the past few years. After an hour, go to each house to register how much food and cloth each family can produce, and wait until the matter in front of you is over. Go back, and sister-in-law Sun will also go to help."

The two quickly responded.

After dismissing all the women, Liao Miaomiao said to these men again: "Let those who want to leave let them go. No one is allowed to make trouble and talk too much. Divide into three teams from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and Liao Sanyi will divide them up. Set up the donkey carts and horse-drawn carts at home, go to Zhushan to haul medicinal materials and gauze, a team goes to collect the excess firewood from each family, and walk around the nearby villages, if anyone asks, don’t hide it.”

She and Zhao Man have been operating here these years, who here has not received the favor of their family?When the gate of the city is closed, she will be the boss if she has soldiers, and she is not afraid that these people will stab in the back, just kill them directly.Song soldiers have not yet attacked the city and killed all the people.

"There is still a team waiting to be arranged in the village." There must be some manpower left to run errands.

That's all she can think of now, and war is as far away as Zhao Man at this time.

Yu Miaomiao's mind is a little confused, and her heart is at a loss. She thinks that Zhao Man is standing beside her, blocking her in front, or holding her shoulders to support her, and pulling her not to retreat, not to be timid, at least he should tell her How to do it, whether she is doing well or not, he can respond to her.

But now he doesn't know what the situation is, and he hasn't written a single word to her during the past six months.

Yu Miaomiao's heart was twisted into a ball, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Only when she is stable, these people can be stable.

Everyone left, and she drove Wen and Sun back, so that they could discuss with their men when they went back.

Liao San quickly made arrangements, and made the same arrangement at Zhuxi Mine and Fertilizer Workshop. He sent someone to spread the word, and he hurriedly settled in various places.

At this moment, before Yang Xun took Yu Miaomiao away forcibly, someone rushed all the way into Fangling City with the imperial decree.

While Yu Miaomiao was still in deep thought, the news had already spread wildly.

"The abolished king Zhao Man plotted rebellion, embraced his own self-respect, and fled Fangling, fled to the Liao dogs, and destroyed the Song and Zhonghe alliances. Everyone knows his evil intentions. It is a heinous crime. Now he has sent a large army to Liao to arrest him. Death deserves more than guilt."

"Now send Wu Desi's personal guards to Fangling to arrest Zhao Man's family members and relatives to Bianjing. If anyone resists the decree and disrespects them, they will be killed. At the same time, they are mobilized to garrison Chengdu. Those who cover up and hide Zhao Man's relatives, and those who do not report the knowledge, will be punished as a crime of treason."

The people who delivered the decree were divided into two groups, half of them went to the large and small yamen of Fangling, and mobilized the city defense troops, while leading the way to get Yu Miaomiao.

Today's publicity, from dusk to dark, from the gate of Fangling City to Liushutun, in less than an hour, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fangling like wings, and the city was full of hustle and bustle. .

In this time of crisis, time flies by so fast.

Yu Miaomiao wrapped a belly band around her stomach, and put the anti-fetal medicine on the stove. The medicine was not cured yet, it seemed that she just closed her eyes and rested for a while, her thoughts were not clear, and her frantically beating heart did not calm down , this hour has passed.

Liao San followed the sweaty Zhou Xiuwu back, entered the yard, and said: "It's all arranged, Madam, don't worry."

Yu Miaomiao let out a "huh" and asked Zhou Xiuwu: "If there is a commotion in the city, can five hundred soldiers defend it? Wang Lang, the Minister of Finance, has a lot of people, and the Huaizhen next to him is very skilled." Great."

Among other things, Wang Lang is a very upright person. Others such as the Lian family and the Zhu family, Yu Miaomiao, don't worry, just suppress it with force, just this Wang Lang.

Zhou Xiuwu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Dalang said that he will detain Wang Lang in the academy, and the other big families, these troubles have nothing to do with them."

Hearing this, Yu Miaomiao gradually calmed down. It should not be a problem for Li Pengju's identity to stabilize these people, but it will save a lot of trouble.

"Will someone from Fang Erlang trouble him and pick him up in Liushutun?"

"Mr. Erlang sent food to the north at the beginning of the month, and he should be on his way now, not in the city."

Yu Miaomiao heard the words, and scolded Fang Aonan again, he also followed others to hide from her, more worried, Fang Aonan told her before that there was no need to send food, Zhao Man would come back at the end of the year, now he went again , what does this mean?
"The shops of the Fang family have been closed, and all the things have been packed. The servants have gone to the winery in Shanghe County, and there is Li's family in Shanghe County." Zhou Xiuwu added.

Yu Miaomiao collected her thoughts and nodded, Fang Aonan was also ready, that's good.

"The Su family..."

"There are people guarding Zhushan, and no one dares to make things difficult for the Su family."

That's all Yu Miaomiao thought of again, so she shut up, and let's talk about the rest when I think about it.

Wen's and Sun's should have heard Zhou Xiuwu's voice, they hurried out of their homes, and came to accompany Yu Miaomiao to help.

They were the two who took care of Yu Miaomiao when she was holding a knife, and they are also familiar with it now. At this time, Zhou Xiuwu and the big men can't count on them, they have to be taken care of by women.

As soon as Yu Miaomiao took the anti-fetal medicine, she heard the sound of hooves and footsteps.

The person who delivered the decree was a member of Wu Desi, the emperor's confidant, followed by three hundred city guards from Fangling, and marched into Liushutun in a mighty manner.

The chickens and dogs in the village barked a few times at first, but when Xu Shi noticed the murderous battle, they didn't even make a sound.

The winter days are short, and it's only two o'clock in the morning, and it's already dark, and the whole Liushutun is silent, except for Yu Miaomiao's yard, there is not even the slightest light.

Someone yelled at the door, "The prisoner's wife, Mrs. Yu, accepts the order!"

Yu Miaomiao cursed a few times in her heart, it's really funny, she's called her a 'criminal wife', and the man who wants to kill her is still planning to let her accept the order, can't she obediently obey?

She looked up through the window and looked at Zhou Xiuwu and several other men standing in the yard with spears in hand. She sneered, and immediately leaned back on the bamboo chair covered with three layers of thick mattresses.

Wen's and Sun's pale complexions looked at Yu Miaomiao who was calm and relaxed, not daring to breathe.

"Why, do you want to disrespect the order?"

The visitor was dressed in black and a black cloak. He dismounted from his horse and stretched out his cloak.

With a wave of his hand, the people behind him immediately surrounded the small courtyard.

Someone stepped forward and kicked the door open. With a "bang", the door panel rebounded and was kicked again.

"Go in and search, and take away all the people inside! If you resist, kill."

After the man finished speaking, he saw the city guards behind him not moving, and he exchanged glances with his colleagues in Wu De Division, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

They managed to snatch this job from Tian Qing, and they made people trip Tian Qing, the popular man in front of the emperor, and left him outside the city to meet him. Purpose.When there are too many people, what profit and credit will they have.

Therefore, they rushed into the city before the city gate was closed to announce the decree to take people. They were also afraid of encountering resistance, so they brought all 300 city guards in the city with them.

The relatives who caught the traitor were only a woman. They fought quickly. Even if Zhao Man really had defenses, he would not deploy them in the village. Their eyeliner has been reported just now, and the village is very quiet. Zhao Man's manpower must be It was too late to react, and when people came to their senses, they had already taken people away, and they were able to raid their homes and steal some good things. I heard that Zhao Man has made a lot of money in the past few years. If not, how could he support private soldiers? It's really fat.

As soon as the eyeballs of the few people turned, someone behind them immediately raised a knife and dropped it. There were a few "shua" sounds, which made people's skin crawl. Following the flash of blood, the heads and bodies of the five people were separated.

Wen Shi, who was peeping out of the window, suddenly shrank his neck, and his whole body seemed to be swinging, and he stood firm by leaning on the edge of the window.

He stuttered and said: "Chopped... their heads fell off, and the city defense army chopped them off."

Yu Miaomiao withdrew her gaze, her face turned pale, these city defense troops had been replaced with their own people long ago.

Bringing the city defense army to arrest Yu Miaomiao is really asking for a dead end.

Zhou Xiuwu didn't even look at the heads on the ground, he just asked people to clean them up, threw them into the mountains to feed the wolves, and then went out to order them to stay in Liushutun to protect Yu Miaomiao.

Then he left in a hurry.

Wen's and Sun's were sent by Yu Miaomiao to register. By the way, they also checked how many people had left in the village. They came back soon and said that no one left. Now they can't leave even if they want to. The city gate is closed tonight. , it will not be opened again. As for other places, there is no news yet.

Yu Miaomiao didn't look at the registered things either, just kept them in a drawer, and asked Mrs. Sun to find some women, and told the female celebrities in the spinning workshop to help cook together. Zhou Xiuwu got these 300 people, and had to arrange others To eat and drink, the steamed buns that were steamed just now were not intended to be used here, but now they can be used. The weather is cold, and they take turns living in the moved houses to make floor bedding, and they have to prepare bedding.

By the time the arrangements were made, it was already dark. Yu Miaomiao had no appetite, so she barely ate half a bowl of soup and rice. She was in a hurry to get back, and she was worried about being tired and had to hold others down. It didn't take long to enter the black sweet dream.

At this time, outside the city, the sky was as dark as ink, and the wind howled. From time to time, there were ghosts crying and howling in the forest not far away. I don't know if it was the sound of prey, or the sound of the mountain wind shaking the woods.

Tian Qing looked at the familiar Fangling city gate, and was silent for a while before looking away.

A young man behind him gathered his cloak and said, "Ninth brother, the gate of the city is closed now, and they haven't come out yet. Do you think they succeeded? We don't want to spread any news."

In the dimness, Tian Qing's eyes flashed, his eyes were like a stream of light, he didn't speak, no one knew the complexity in his heart.

He sent the news early on, Zhao Man's people should have taken precautions, at least Yu Miaomiao had time to leave.

These messy things, whoever becomes the emperor, he doesn't care, as long as his family has a good future, Zhao Man helped him, and he reciprocated, and in his heart, he also wanted Yu Miaomiao to escape, at least to help Zhao Man keep it blood.

Now that the war in the north is gradually clear, no matter how brave Zhao Man is, there are many soldiers in Song Dynasty, and they don't have food, even if they have food, they can't send it in. It's cold in the northeast, what do they eat?
Tian Qing is very pessimistic about Zhao Man's prospects, and so is Fang Ling.

After the Liao Kingdom was settled, Zhao Man died, and the army returned to the defense, besieging Fangling, and the people inside would be trapped to death. After a long time, the inside was also in chaos.

Moreover, there are a lot of soldiers that can be transferred from Chengdu Mansion. The two places are close to each other, and the speed of dispatching troops is also fast, so they can provide support at any time.
Thinking of this, for some reason, Tian Qing felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Zhao Man's letter from Beidi was passed on to him and submitted to the emperor. He really didn't understand why Zhao Man did this.

The emperor will not let Zhao Man and his wife and children go, they have already been exiled, and they brought troops back to the Northland, which is completely beyond the bottom line that the emperor can tolerate.

Since the Battle of Qinzhou, when Zhao Man sent troops there, he had never understood him.

"Is it because I copied too many things, took all the benefits, and missed the hour, so I had to drink inside?" The young man's complaining voice interrupted Tian Qing's thoughts.

Tian Qing came back to his senses, suppressed the color in his eyes, and said lightly, "Maybe." Then he turned and left, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He went back and poured them a glass of dead wine, and hurried on Huangquan Road, but Don't blame him for borrowing a knife to kill someone.

These playboys always come to trouble him, but they are all of a much higher background than him, suppressing him everywhere, if they don't take this opportunity to fool them into the city, they really can't find the time to start.

The young man behind him also hurriedly followed, Tian Qing said again: "Those soldiers and horses will arrive in the second half of the night, let's go into the city with the army, and I will give you my share when the aftermath is dealt with." The latter sentence is hidden in the stomach.

"Ninth brother, don't say that, brother has taken advantage of you before." The young man got on his horse as he spoke.

The two of them disappeared into the shadows, and the sound of horseshoes faded away.

……

At dawn, Yu Miaomiao opened her eyes with sweat all over her head, panting heavily.Pushing aside his sweaty bangs, he sat up slowly.

She had a nightmare just now. She dreamed that Zhao Man was holding a spear and covered in blood, and fell in front of her. She wanted to help him, but she couldn't move. She wanted to talk to him, but she couldn't make a sound.

In the dream, I was sweating anxiously, but outside the dream, my body was cold all over. I tried to comfort myself that this was just a dream, and dreams are always the opposite.

"He himself said that he is the lone star of the devil, who can kill others. How many times he himself escaped from death, and the disaster will last for thousands of years."

Yu Miaomiao really wished that he was the lone star of the evil spirit and could conquer others.

"Zhao Man, Zhao Man, why haven't you come back..."

Yu Miaomiao covered her face with the quilt, rubbed it hard, and when she raised her head, the moisture in her eyes had faded away.

The quilt, especially her feet, was cold. After sleeping all night, there was no heat at all. If Zhao Man was there, she would have a natural heater, and now the knife is no longer with her.

Not feeling sleepy anymore, she simply got up, found clean clothes and changed into it, then went around the screen, opened the curtain, and saw torches lit in the yard.

She went to the kitchen and saw that Wenshi had come over and was boiling hot water. Wenshi's eyes were darkened, obviously he hadn't slept well all night, but Yu Miaomiao's recovery was much better than hers.

She saw Yu Miaomiao forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Ma'am is awake, the water is boiling, go wash your face first, and I will comb your hair."

Yu Miaomiao didn't know what to say to her. After all, these people were still implicated by her. It was useless to say anything. She just hoped that this time the crisis could be passed smoothly. She nodded and said nothing.

After tidying up himself and drinking a bowl of anti-fetal medicine, it was dawn.

Liao San has been waiting in the front yard. Seeing Yu Miaomiao approaching, he reported last night in a low voice.

"The besieging army has already arrived outside the city in the middle of the night. This is the first batch of 6000 people. General Zhou is defending the city and has not opened the city gate. Today there will be another [-] people."

"In addition to the imperial decree sent here, there is another one, which is to transfer the [-] garrisons outside the city, and let them go to Chengdu Mansion to change defenses. The emperor doesn't trust Zeng Xian, and he has doubts about these garrisons."

"There was a fight outside the city in the middle of the night. Now the garrison soldiers have entered the city. More than 100 people have been lost and 200 people have been injured. The wounded have been arranged. The Su family has sent twenty doctors. The soldiers who besieged the city are unknown. As for how many people died, General Zhou said that it is conservatively estimated that there are about 2000 people. The other party has been alarmed, and soldiers and horses should come one after another in the next few days."

Yu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized where the remaining 5000 people were. No wonder Zhou Xiuwu said that she would know soon, it should be the 5000 garrison soldiers, and now there are [-] of her [-] people in the city.

It is not difficult to understand the victory of the first time against the enemy, because it was a sneak attack to attack him unprepared, and he took advantage of the fatigue of the opponent, and then he insisted on defending the city. More and more people besieged and attacked the city, and the road ahead was even more difficult.
