Zhou Shan thought about it, and said to Da Siheng that he must pay attention to the movements of the soldiers and civilians around, before this kind of war, he was afraid that the people would be confused, if the army and the people were united when defending the city, there would be millions of people in Fengcheng, and there would be no problem. Da Si Heng nodded, and said that he would pay attention to this matter, and now Da Si Heng is more difficult is whether the residents outside the city want to be included in the city, and the city will have to garrison troops at that time, and if the people in the countryside are put in, the city will be very chaotic and congested, and now the number of people guarding the city is enough.

If you put it outside, it will inevitably be coerced by the enemy, causing great trouble, if this group of Han people is expelled to attack the city, will the city attack or not? Zhou Shan thought for a while, and then told Da Si Heng that he could let the people withdraw to other prefectures and counties first, and now that the south gate of the southeast mansion had been opened, they were already protecting the people, and they couldn't help but sigh when they thought of the grain falling into the hands of the enemy.

Although Jucheng blocked for a few days, but it was not enough to make so much grain successfully transferred, thinking of these grains, Da Si Heng said: "In any case, I hope that Concubine Ping can come as soon as possible, fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and annihilate the enemy as soon as possible, now the army is too optimistic, thinking that the old man is enough to calm this war, the old man knows that this is a bitter battle, and the old man's ability is not enough to command so many troops, so after the old man left Beijing, he begged the sage to send Concubine Ping to assist the old man." ”

He praised Da Si Heng for being modest and cautious, and secretly scolded this old fox in his heart for being really cunning, the credit for the victory of this war will also be attributed to the emperor and Concubine Ping, if it fails, the blame may be all thrown on Da Si Heng, in order to avoid this situation, Da Si Heng will also pull Concubine Ping into the water, and when the time comes, it is not good to be an assistant, and most of the responsibility will be borne by Concubine Ping.

Da Si Heng continued to ask them for their opinions, he didn't have any opinions, Zhou Shan didn't say anything, so Da Si Heng left them for lunch, and then let the two of them leave, and when the two left Yuanmen, they saw a group of civil officials standing outside Yuanmen in official uniforms.

When they returned home, the county lord stepped forward and asked Zhou Shan: "Husband, what did Da Si Heng say today?" Zhou Shan shook his head, the county lord woke up this time, there was no more, but they had lunch, the two said that they had eaten, and the county lord said that they got up too early, so it was better to take a break and recover their spirits. The two nodded and returned to their respective rooms, Zhou Linling didn't have much to do, he told him what happened today, anyway, it's not a secret.

What Da Si Heng talked to them about, he didn't dare to rashly tell Zhou Linling that now it was not his own small house, the so-called partition wall has ears, and there are so many servants in Qinyuan, he doesn't dare to guarantee that there are no spies. If it weren't for hearing Da Si Heng say that the White Lotus Sect was involved today, he wouldn't have been so careful. Zhou Linling said to him: "It seems that this time the Southeast Mansion is indeed going to be robbed, and it is not easy for the world to be peaceful for so many years, and now it is chaotic again." ”

He thought to himself that if Yu Chao did this, it would be strange if the natives didn't rebel, but after this battle, it would be once and for all, and he didn't have to worry about this topic anymore, and hoped that Yu Chao could seize this opportunity and not waste it in vain. When he thought of the upcoming war, he couldn't help but feel secretly sad in his heart, what would become of this war of more than a million people? He asked Zhou Linling, if the natives chased with all their might, how long would it take to arrive? Zhou Linling told him that if it was really 500,000, it would take at least more than 20 days, and this was still a situation where he did not attack the city and went straight all the way, from Fengcheng to Jucheng was thousands of miles away.

Thinking that there are more than 20 days, he is relieved, more than 20 days is enough for Yu Chao to sit down and prepare, but now he is worried that Zamuhe will not come to Fengcheng quickly, but cut the land to train the army, then the situation has changed, Yu Chao can not wait for work, but work far away, this cost will be big. He told Zhou Linling about his worries, Zhou Linling said to him: "Xianggong, you don't have to worry about this topic, if you want Zamuhe's promise to the clansmen, you will recover the homeland of Leguo, it is impossible to wait there now, and if you want to cultivate, you will wait until you capture Fengcheng, and when the time comes, everyone will be convinced, and he is now like a tight arrow on the string, and he can only shoot forward." He nodded, agreeing with Zhou Linling's words, but he was worried that this Zamuhe was extraordinary and could not be inferred by common sense.

Zhou Linling comforted him that he didn't have to think about it, all of this would not be much of a problem, there was no point in thinking too much now, when the time came, the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would cover it, so naturally there would be hundreds of officials in the court worried. asked Zhou Linling what to do with this Qinyuan, Zhou Linling said that the wall was about to be demolished, and he couldn't leave the enemy. I've already started moving things to the city today. He thought to himself that this wall did not need to be torn down, and he could go to a barracks to form a horn. It's a shame to just dismantle it like this.

However, he didn't say this, he knew that Da Siheng and these people would not agree, at most, they would leave the Fengwang Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion, which could be regarded as small cities, and if the enemy attacked, the gains would outweigh the losses. didn't say anything, closed his eyes quietly, and after sleeping for an hour, he woke up refreshed, Zhou Linling said to him: "Xianggong, tomorrow we will go to Xiaoxiang Tower." He inquired so quickly, and Zhou Linling told him that this was ordered by Da Si Heng to let everyone in the vicinity tear down the houses and transport the trees to the city, and then wait until the war was over, and the imperial court would make up for their losses. As an example, Da Siheng let the nearby big families take the lead in demolishing it, and really wanted to clear the walls and fields, so that the thieves could not get any materials within 100 miles. Even the trees on Mt. Kamime had to be cut down, and the halfway hall had to be stopped.

He thought to himself that it was really a war together, and everything suffered. He asked how there were so many manpower and material resources, and Zhou Linling said that they were all paid, and they were all paid a day, and Da Siheng had already posted a notice. Zhou Linling felt sorry, many trees in Shenmu Mountain were thousands of years old, and now they were innocent of the disaster of swords and axes. He said that the hundred officials should persuade the great priest to be just a group of rebels, there is no need to exaggerate so much, and the enemy can't use so many trees. The enemy besieged the city for more than ten days at most, and the army of the imperial court arrived.

Zhou Linling said that someone persuaded him, but Da Siheng said that a large amount of wood was needed in the city. Zhou Linling was curious, but what did he have such wood for, he said what he said about the bunk bed, Zhou Linling said with a smile: "Xianggong, it seems that many tree demons are going to trouble you." He touched the back of his head and said: "I can't be blamed for this, I can't help but say about the situation at that time, or Si Heng will definitely let the military and civilians mix together, and it will be really troublesome at that time."

Zhou Linling didn't say anything, and began to help pack up things.

The next day, they entered the Xiaoxiang Building, this attic has three floors, the bottom is where the servants live, the second floor is where he and Zhou Linling live, and the third floor is where the county lord lives. He doesn't have to worry about any gossip at that time, this attic was built with this in mind, there is no staircase from the second floor to the third floor, and the staircase on the third floor is in a room on the first floor, which is locked from the inside.

However, he was the only man in this attic, and there were more than a dozen guards standing near Xiaoxiang Tower, all of whom were ready to protect the county lord and their safety. On the first day they moved in, Su Wanqing came, Su Wanqing went to the second floor without hesitation, looked at their room, and said: "Yes, yes, this attic is quite big, it is enough for the two of you to live, but the third floor seems to be much narrower, Linling, do you say yes." ”

Zhou Linling said with a smile: "Wanqing, this is to entertain guests, naturally it is much more spacious, as for the third floor, it is a woman's boudoir, it doesn't need to be so big, the wall has organs, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi made a lot of organs in it." Listening to Zhou Linling's words, Su Wanqing said curiously, what is the mechanism. Zhou Linling didn't answer, walked to the wall, and uncovered a painting hanging on the wall, revealing two swords inside. Su Wanqing walked over curiously, took down a sword and said, "This is a long spike flower sword, which is used by women." Zhou Linling introduced: "Yes, at the beginning, several maids around the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi have learned martial arts, if there is any accident, you can quickly protect the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, or Wanqing, how do you think the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi can accommodate herself in that troubled era?" Of course, the most powerful legend is a maidservant, who knows swordsmanship, how many men are not opponents, although the rumors are exaggerated, but this maid has always protected the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, and became a nun after the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi.

Su Wanqing looked at the sword, shook the two sword flowers casually, and then said: "These two swords have gone through a hundred years, and they are still so sharp, they are really divine objects." He thought to himself that as long as these swords are kept well and are not often exposed to the air, the oxidation is very slow, let alone a hundred years, even if it is a thousand years, it will be as new. After Su Wanqing put down the sword, he said that Xiangguo Gong had already entered the city, but the Xiangguo Mansion had not been demolished, and Su Wanqing's uncle and 10,000 soldiers stayed there.

He asked curiously what the soldiers were, Su Wan glanced at him innocently, and then explained: "These are all servants who have served the Su family for generations, and in their spare time, they will teach them the way of military formation, this is an old tradition left by the Song Dynasty, if the Xingwu family doesn't even have family soldiers, wouldn't it be shameful, don't underestimate these 10,000 people, they are not reliable." He said that even if it is reliable, there are so many enemies, and it is really difficult for this group of people to make a difference.

Su Wanqing's eyes turned red, and her voice was a little choked and said: "Yes, everyone knows that it is difficult to survive, but you still have to stay there, you can't just retreat without a fight, and waste the inheritance left by your ancestors to the enemy." ”
