The night is deep, and where there is revelry, there is loneliness.

The city of Beijing has recently cooled down again, and it is even colder at night, dripping into ice, and it is not surprising that the air becomes frost, in short, it is extremely cold, and many displaced people have frozen to death in the city these days.

In the yellow house in the east of the city, a girl tosses and turns and can't sleep, not because the weather is cold, but because there is someone in her heart.

In the imperial city in the city, many eunuchs and palace maids poured out of the grass fence opposite the imperial horse supervisor, although the weather was cold, but their enthusiasm was undiminished, and they were still talking about the fierceness just now.

In the Qianqing Palace of the Imperial Palace, the lights are still bright, and it is impossible for the diligent Emperor Chongzhen to sleep at this time.

At the same time, several fast horses outside the Yanmen Pass galloped in the valley against the wind and snow......

Under the Taiyuan Da Nan Gate, Chang Yu shouted open the door with a loud voice, and he didn't even have to show his waist card or anything, not that the guard was too lax, but that it was too strict, because Zhou Yuji stayed overnight on the city tower.

Although it was late at night, Zhou Yuji had not slept at this time, and there was a simple sand table in the hall on the first floor of the attic, which was the terrain around Taiyuan, so he sat next to the sand table with a lamp, frowning, and looked up at the dark night sky outside from time to time, why didn't he come back, nothing would happen.

So Nian Nian really read Chang Yu over, the attendant told someone in the city to call the door, claiming to be the factory governor, he immediately walked out of the city tower, looked down, determined the identity, let Chang Yu enter the city.

patting the wind and snow on his body, Chang Yu entered the city tower, and then walked to the brazier to warm up, while sighing.

"Factory ...... Can Chang Gonggong's trip go smoothly? Zhou Yuji hurriedly made a cup of hot tea and brought it over

Chang Yu stretched out his hand to take it: "I encountered a stubble, but it was solved, and it was smooth on the whole" said and smiled. Zhou Yuji thought in his heart, listening to his words, it seems that this trip has gained a lot, but after all, he is doing an unsightly black job, and he is not good to ask in detail.

"Why haven't you slept until now?" Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at the sand table in the middle, the first time he saw it, but it was not the first time he had heard of it, the sand table had been in the Eastern Han Dynasty as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was a satellite map of the army marching and fighting.

"The last general is still thinking about how to turn Taiyuan into an iron wall" Zhou Yuji looked serious, "Once the thief army breaks through the defense line of Jiaocheng, when the army is in the city, Taiyuan will be tight, how to block the thieves, but it is a headache" said and turned his head to look at Chang Yu: "What good advice does Chang Gonggong have?" ”

Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "Not today, because our family just wants to sleep, have a good sleep!" "He's so sleepy.

The three-story city tower of the Great South Gate has long been cleaned up, the first floor is the command center, the second floor, and the third floor are the rest room, and the braziers and dozens of soft collapses are put for the soldiers on duty to rest.

Chang Yu ordered earlier that, except for the rotating generals arranged in the barracks, all guerrillas (equivalent to brigade commanders) and above must stay overnight in the city tower and be on duty if they are not appointed.

But because Taiyuan is a big city, there are eight city gates, each gate has a city gate, and these generals each sleep at the city gate on duty, which makes Chang Yu's command center seem extremely empty, only he and Zhou Yuji and some attendants.

Chang Yu was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes in a daze, and he didn't know the time, but he felt that the sky was dark outside, and he turned his head to look, he was sleeping on the third floor, and there was no one around him.

Rubbing his eyes, Chang Yu walked to the window, looked outside, and saw that the snow had stopped, but the wind did not stop, whistling by, making people feel cold when they heard it.

There are not a short number of pedestrians outside the city, but there are more people in and less out, looking at the continuous flow of people in the distance, he knows that the people of Jiaocheng have arrived.

As soon as they got down to the second floor, Chunxiang and Jiang Quan, who were baking the fire in the brazier, hurriedly got up: "Big brother, you get up, I'll fetch water for you."

Chang Yu snorted, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's just after noon, I'll get you something to eat," Jiang Quan said and walked down.

After greeting a few other entourages, Chunxiang took water and sent it up, Chang Yu asked while washing, "Where is Mr. Zhou?" ”

"It's all down there, there's the governor, the prefect, and a large group of people down there," Chunxiang said.

Chang Yu finished washing up and walked straight down, and saw Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode, Sun Kangzhou, Ying Shisheng and other generals gathered together to see Chang Yu come down, and everyone hurriedly got up to salute.

"You are busy, don't worry about me" Chang Yu waved his hand, motioned for everyone to continue, and then walked towards the east side room, which had been used as a kitchen.

"Father-in-law Chang" Zhou Yuji stopped him: "There is a holy decree in the morning, yours!" ”

Well? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Where is it?" ”

"The father-in-law who delivered the decree heard that you were working hard and going to bed late, so he went to the post station, saying that it was not too late to wait for you to wake up and then receive the decree" When Zhou Yuji said this, the people next to him were all in the same mood as him, and the factory supervisor was awesome.

When the emperor's holy decree arrives, he will take it, whether you are eating or pulling rice, but when you get to him, you have to wait, and it is really a power eunuch, which shows that he is usually domineering, but if you think about it carefully, this little eunuch seems to have appeared out of thin air, the name is unfamiliar, and I don't hear of his domineering, which is also a strange thing.

"Oh, then let him come over" Chang Yu said and turned around and entered the east side room, closed the door casually, and Jiang Quanzheng and a eunuch inside got him food.

Following the customs of the locals, Jiang Quan prepared steamed mutton soup for Chang Yu, and he also likes to drink this thing, which is a great supplement and warms up in winter.

The mouth kept eating, and Chang Yu listened to Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode and others talking with his ears sideways.

Zhou Yuji had already sent 2,000 vanguard troops to Jiaocheng and Qi County to form a defensive line, snipe at the opponent's spies and small groups of men, and assist the two places to clear the wilderness.

Cai Maode as the governor in charge of military affairs, civil affairs, military affairs has been authorized by Chang Yu Zhou Yuji, he is in charge of civil affairs, then the problem is, Qi County and Jiaocheng to clear the field, the fleeing people naturally want to enter Taiyuan City, in addition to the thief army to the north, the line of defense retreated, the people of Qingxu County on the east road Taigu County West Road to flee here, it is definitely not a trivial matter to pour tens of thousands of people into it.

How to place it, how to prevent chaos, and how to fill these tens of thousands of mouths are all urgent matters that burn the eyebrows in front of us.

"Taiyuan City is vast, and there are many open spaces in the city, so you can set aside a uniform area to house those refugees, but what about those tens of thousands of mouths, there is not much grain and herbs left in the city, and the supply army has been stretched thin for seven days, so what will you give them to eat?" The prefect Sun Kangzhou's eyebrows were squeezed into a line: "But if you don't give them food, those refugees won't be against the sky, then it will be equivalent to tens of thousands of thieves in the blink of an eye."

This is a very serious problem, everyone agrees deeply, and their eyes are fixed on Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji muttered in his heart, Nima's people all look at what I do, and I am not in charge of grain and grass civil affairs, so he looked at Cai Maode: "Lord Governor, what do you ......think of this matter?"

Cai Maode was stunned, girl, kick me here, and sighed: "Tens of thousands of refugees entering the city is not a trivial matter, except for rations, other things are not worrying, this day is cold, how to settle is not just a vacant land, you can't let them lie there in the snow, they can freeze to death overnight, and heating is also a headache." There are still tens of thousands of people entering the city, the good and the bad are mixed, and public security is also the top priority, and it is inevitable that there will be thieves and spies among them......"

"My lord, food and grass matters" Zhou Yuji looked at the old guy and talked endlessly, although it was also a difficult thing, but why didn't he answer the question positively, so he opened his mouth to remind.

Forehead...... Cai Maode was helpless, a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "Didn't the factory governor say yesterday, Datong has enough grain and grass, and it is being transported to Taiyuan, this should not be a big problem, this ...... I should have asked the factory superintendent, it seems that he once said that he was in charge of the ......"

So everyone's eyes invariably looked at the east side room.

With a creak, Chang Yu opened the door and walked out, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, found a chair and sat down, and glanced at everyone: "Our family has packed the grain and grass."

Cai Maode and Sun Kang exhaled and looked at Zhou Yuji, and their faces could not hide their joy.

"Factory Supervisor, the matter of paying silver ......" the deputy chief soldier was not very confident at the time.

"Our family is also round," Chang Yu said as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Yuji immediately understood, and then flipped through the table and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chang Yu.

67,046 soldiers, 36,120 horses, and ...... swords This is a detailed statistical table of Taiyuan's military strength and military resources.

Chang Yu sighed slightly, Taiyuan was known as 100,000 horses at this time, and the water content was as high as forty percent! Appalling!
