I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

Even if they themselves die in battle, they can be handed over to the family members to inherit.

To exchange the occupied land of Chengjiang Kingdom for the loyalty of these people and for their morale to fight for the great cause, in a sense, it is a worthless transaction.

What's more, there is a very serious matter in the near future. According to the statistics of the master bookkeeper Yang Xiu, even if there is grain and grass sent by Li Hongjun, the Prime Minister of Chengjiang Kingdom, it will gradually bottom out under the consumption of the Xiangzhou army, prisoners of war, and civilian husbands, and it will not last long. .

Therefore, in order to save food, let the Xiangzhou army survive this winter smoothly, and at the same time allow the Huan people to provide enough food and grass for the Xiangzhou army, certain decisions must be made.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xuan chose to fight in person.

In Jingcheng, in addition to the 60000 civilians who were sent out first, plus the current 55000 people, there are 115000 people in total!

After the three drums, the three armies are ready.

The recalled Rao Shaoyuan and Lu Xueyi took Lin Xuan's token and saluted: "Teacher, the students will swear to defend Yaocheng!"

Lin Xuan patted Rao Shaoyuan and Lu Xueyi on the shoulders: "There will be no war in Yaocheng for the time being, you can continue to prepare according to my original arrangement."

Lu Xueyi said, "Students understand."

Rao Shaoyuan seemed to be a little unwilling: "Teacher, can't the students go to the battlefield together?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "No hurry, there will be a big battle in Yaocheng, enough for you to learn."

After the explanation, Lin Xuan got on the chariot, and under the escort of the Beiluo Forbidden Army, the army set off. The 11-strong army marched towards Jingcheng.

……

Wells City.

The ancient small city that has just experienced a bloody battle is falling into anxiety and distress in the misty dust and smoke.

Many unarmored soldiers lay down with their backs against the city wall, and they were sleeping for a short time. Except for the occasional food delivery person, they would open their eyes and try to eat something to replenish their strength.

Because of the continuous war, they felt their throats were burning, and because of the cold in the north, many people's lips were frozen and cracked, and sores appeared on their faces and hands.

Mo Xin fed some water to a soldier beside him, and then walked to the next one.

It looked as if he hadn't been in the war just now.

"Sir, you should take a break too."

The housekeeper Ah Fu came over and saluted Mo Xin.

Unlike when they first met, half of Ah Fu's clothes were stained red with blood.

However, the blood did not belong to Ah Fu himself, but to the two commanders of the Huan tribe in the grassland.

At that time, the south city gate was in critical condition, and the two commanders of the grassland Huan tribe who were almost killed by surprise tore up the line of defense, and Mo Xin himself was pinned down by Jebe's arrows, so rescue was too late.

Under such circumstances, Ah Fu, who had just arrived, flew up on the city wall, fought hard against the two commanders, and killed them in a very short period of time before holding the line of defense.

Otherwise, if this section of the city wall is lost, it will be extremely difficult for Mo Xin to regain it. At least the limited combat power in Jingcheng will require a heavy sacrifice.

"No, no, it's these soldiers who need to rest. We don't know when the Huan tribe will attack again."

"Many damaged city defenses need to be reinforced, and our soldiers have not enough time to rotate and rest."

Mo Xin handed over the water in the bowl to another soldier, and said unhurriedly, "Is the water tank I asked Mr. to prepare?"

Butler Ah Fu said, "It's ready."

The housekeeper A Fu has some doubts about preparing the water tank.

The water tank had to be buried in the soil and filled with water, and people were arranged to keep an eye on it, and there were four urban areas.

Mo Xin didn't wait for the butler Ah Fu to ask, and said directly: "If the water in the water tank moves at any time, it means that someone is digging a tunnel underground and wants to attack Jingcheng from the tunnel."

"According to the previous information, the people from the Prairie Huan tribe are all light cavalry. We don't need to worry too much about this, but they have so many prisoners of war, and they are all infantry, so it is inevitable that they will not arrange to dig tunnels.

The butler, Ah Fu, bowed to Mo Xin: "Everything is thanks to you, Mr. By the way, the master has woken up, is Mr. Mo Xin going to meet?"

Mo Xin glanced outside the city and nodded: "Okay!"

The Jingcheng City Commander's Mansion also looked like it had just been repaired.

It was only repaired for a short time, and the surrounding bricks, stones, and even necessary houses were demolished.

As for the demolished wood and stones, they were all transported to the city wall.

The regular ones were used to build the city walls, while the irregular ones were used as slings and logs.

Basically, it can be said that except for the areas where some people lived, everything was demolished.

Seeing such a scene, Mo Xin admired secretly, it is not easy for Qin Shao to have such courage in Jingcheng City.

It is no wonder that later, many people were willing to demolish their own houses and donate the only wood, stone, and even coffin boards.

"Qin Shao, I met Mr.!"

With the support of others, Qin Shao came forward and saluted Mo Xin.

"Mo Xin, I have seen Cheng Ling!" Mo Xin replied, "Cheng Ling, you have just recovered, so it is not appropriate to walk around like this."

Qin Shao smiled, and sat down in the yard with the help of others: "When I was in Beiluo, the capital of heaven, I once met the old doctor who said that if a person is sick, if he can move, he should not lie in bed all the time. , and need to come out every day to get some fresh air, to change the turbid air in the lungs and internal organs.”

"Now is the time for the old man to come out to breathe. What's more, the husband is here, how can the old man not come out to greet him?"

"Please take your seat!"

Qin Shao invited.

Mo Xin nodded, and sat down beside him without being polite.

There was a maid on the side bringing clean tea, with a few grains of salt sprinkled in the tea, which was used as a guest house.

"Sir, you have worked hard to defend the city, please drink water first."

Qin Shao drank a little.

Because the old doctor said that the patient is weak and it is difficult to replenish water. It is best to sprinkle a few grains of salt in the drinking water to help restore vitality.

Mo Xin finished drinking the water in the bowl, put down the bowl, and said, "What do you want to ask the Cheng Ling?"

Qin Shao's expression was weak: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you sir. The old man wants to ask, how long can Jingcheng last?"

He didn't ask Mo Xin if Jingcheng could be held, but how long it could hold.

Moxin didn't feel the slightest surprise about this.

Jingcheng is just a small city, not a county city, let alone a state city. The city can be about two feet high thanks to the fact that the previous dynasty deliberately built it beyond the specifications when it stationed troops here.

If the city was shorter, the difficulty of defending Jingcheng would increase several times.

However, judging from previous battles, under his command, Jingcheng could hold for at most three months.

"Three months!" Mo Xin replied, "After three months, if there is no reinforcements and the Huan tribe will attack regardless of the cost, Jingcheng will not be able to defend."

Three months!

Qin Shao seemed startled by Mo Xin's answer.

According to his estimation, it is a miracle that this well city can be guarded for a month, but Mo Xin said that it can be guarded for three months.

Qin Shao opened his eyes wide and wanted to confirm again: "Sir, are you serious?"

Mo Xin said solemnly: "Really, this is the result after counting the source of soldiers, food and grass, and various consumptions in Jingcheng. The rest depends on when the reinforcements will arrive."

Qin Shao nodded: "Good! Good! Good! Don't worry, sir, the reinforcements will definitely arrive within a month!"

Chapter 156 The Five Princesses Meet the Empress 4K

Lingzhou.

The 20000 troops of the Wuwei Army of the State of Wei entered the prefectures and counties in a rapid march, and went straight to the border.

At the checkpoints along the way, occasionally the defenders of Wei State were shocked and inexplicable when they saw such a scene.

Except for Wei Guo's southward attack on Dagan and Wei's civil war, he has never seen this large army dispatched.

We must know that this Wuwei Army can be said to be the foundation of Wei State, and the elite of the same status as Qian State Beiluo Forbidden Army will appear in Lingzhou this time. Is there something big going to happen?

I heard that Hartugang, the Western Khan of the Huan tribe in the grassland, fought a battle with Kaer Zhixie, the Shanyu of the Huan tribe. Hartu was defeated and Kaer Zhixie won.

But at this time, there were still 40 cavalry of the Huan tribe going south to attack Yanzhou, the state of Qian.

Wei Guo sent troops at this time, what exactly did he want to do?

Here, in addition to spies from the Qian Kingdom, there are also spies from the grassland.

Some of the spies on the grassland were from the West Khan Hartu, and some were from the Huan ethnic group.

Hartu's spies received the information and immediately reported it to the grassland. After all, the reason why their Khan Hartu would fight this battle with the Huan Kaer Zhixie was more or less because of Wei Guo's troubles.

According to the original agreement, Wei Guo should also send troops, but Wei Guo did not receive any contact at the critical moment, which delayed the timing of sending troops.

Another excuse is that Wei Guo did not expect Xikhan Hartu to lose so quickly.

This left the messenger of West Khan Hartu speechless.

However, complaints are still very large.

Now that Wei Guo finally sent troops, they want to see the result.

As for the spies from the Huan tribe, they were nervous, because Wei Guo sent General Lan Zhen to lead 5 troops to station at the border between Lingzhou and the grassland some time ago.

Because of Lan Zhen's large army, it directly affected the offensive situation of King Weak Xie, King Wild Jun, and King Xueyang against the Yanbei Army of Qian State.

After all, if they attack with all their strength, if Lan Zhen really steals their way, it will be difficult to regret it.

Fortunately, Lan Zhen has been on the sidelines since his arrival, and it will not affect the strategy of the great Shanyu Kaer Zhixie.

But now it's different, Wei Guo's elite forbidden army, Wuwei Army, is dispatched, and no one knows what kind of impact it will have on the situation in Yanzhou.

They are very nervous.

It's just that this nervousness becomes insignificant as more information is obtained.

There is no reason for this, just because the commander of the Wuwei Army is purely a little girl, the youngest daughter of Emperor Wei Xuan, Princess Wu Wei Jiaran.

How old are you?

14 years old!

What joke is the new emperor of Wei Guo making?

Sending a child to be the head coach of the Wuwei Army, is he thinking of himself as the empress of the Qian Kingdom, Ji Handan, or is he just out to play as a guard?

Such a state of Wei is afraid that it will come to an end sooner or later.

The Huan spies laughed.

Although this information is funny at the moment, it still has to be submitted.

After all, the purpose of their stay in Wei State is to collect information, if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with them.

"Teacher, do we need to march in such a hurry?"

Wei Jiaran, the fifth princess of Wei State, asked while riding on a war horse.

According to the usual situation, she should travel in the princess's carriage instead of bumping on this war horse.

However, considering the issue of rest, her teacher Heng Yanjun still prepared a chariot, at least standing on the chariot and being ridden on a horse would be a little more comfortable.

"Well, although it's from the Beiluo New Army, I suspect that it's not the Beiluo New Army at all, but the Beiluo Forbidden Army!"

Heng Yanjun said with a serious expression: "I heard that Empress Dagan has not been in court for a long time, even if Empress Ji Handan appears in this Beiluo new army, I will not be surprised."

Wei Jiaran felt incredible: "Isn't she the emperor? Can she not go to court for a long time?!"

Take her father as an example, even if many things are ignored, she still has to review bamboo slips and documents frequently, and work until late.

This is the result of pushing many things to the Prime Minister Fang Wenyi. According to what the father said, if she really took care of everything, her father's life would have to be accounted for quickly.

However, Ji Handan, the empress dowager, will not go to court for a long time?

In the old days, it could be considered that the government was controlled by the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan, but since the last time the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan fell ill, she didn't take much care of it.

Except for this time, Empress Dowager Li Ningyan often attended court meetings because the Empress Dowager Ji Handan went somewhere.

"Could it be that Empress Dowager Li Ningyan is in charge of government affairs? But didn't you say last time that Empress Dowager Li Ningyan won't live long?"

Wei Jiaran asked directly.

As the teacher's disciple, she can often enter the imperial censor's mansion and get access to a lot of information.
