He was the Great Priest. Liao Qing was thrown into prison, and Tu Qingzhong was promoted to replace him.

"Now all the armies are on the way back to the king of the capital. If the king abandons the capital and withdraws to Mufu City, the soldiers will be cold, and it will be even more difficult to fight against the rebels in the future. Tu Qingzhong said loudly, "Shengyi Chengping has been building a high wall and accumulating grain for a hundred years, even if the Marquis of Zhenbei comes to attack, it will not be a problem to hold on for three months!"

Shengyi was originally the old capital of Yasukuni and had never experienced the siege of the city, so the high walls were never damaged. In the hundred years since the defense of the country took it, it has been continuously consolidated, and it can be called a stable city defense.

"If the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to break through such a city, he needs at least ten times more troops, that is, 200,000 horses. He took a deep breath, "Three months is enough time for all parties to protect him, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is not afraid." ”

King Wei was silent. As soon as the words fell, Yao Liyan sneered: "Three months? The Han family's defense layout for Shengyi is very clear, and there are cronies all over the city, how do you know that he will not incite spies to sabotage from within? Even a rebel like Liao Qing has someone to rob the prison to save him." ”

After the Liao family was imprisoned, a stranger stole into the prison to rescue them, but was caught by Xuan Longwei and cut off his head, killing chickens and monkeys;

I'm afraid he can't catch or kill the people he knows. And the Han family has been deeply cultivated in the court for generations, with many relatives and friends, and even many important ministers, how can King Wei start?

How effective can Shengyi's steel-like defense be against the Marquis of Zhenbei?

Seeing King Wei's eyes flickering, Tu Qingzhong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the king, the national capital has a city defense weapon like a frank giant!"

Yao Liyan shook his head: "Those five open-footed giants are very remarkable, but they can't be dispatched from time to time!"

Tu Qingda said in a loud voice: "Even if it can't parade from time to time, the deterrent effect on the rebels is already amazing. ”

In the past, before Yasukuni built Shengyi, it had just looted the treasury of a small country. That country is so rich that the treasures in the treasury can make Yasukuni eat and drink for 20 years without worry, especially the amount of pure gold and meteorite iron is terrifying. The stolen money was not distressed, and Yasukuni used this windfall to create six golden figures, and skillfully integrated them with the Shengyi city wall.

Each of the Tanzu Gold Figures is twelve zhang tall, and it is a metal monster that is mixed with pure gold and meteorite iron in proportion, and it is infused with star silver sand, and the strength is amazing.

No one knows how much such a golden man weighs. But when it lies down and rolls on the ground, it can crush a large number of people and horses.

It is a pity that this kind of national defense weapon was never passively used until the fall of Yasukuni.

In addition to the specific situation of Yasukuni at that time, there was another important reason why the open-footed giant had been lying in the city wall to sleep: although the power was great, the consumption was also huge.

Yao Liyan said tightly: "Every time you use a Frank-Footed Giant, ten breaths will consume a thousand taels of gold. There are five giants in the city wall, and five thousand taels of gold will be used up in ten breaths!"

The more powerful, the more expensive. Driven by gold, the Frank-Footed Giant is actually a money-burning war puppet, and it is still a bottomless pit.

His forehead was sweating: "The Marquis of Zhenbei also knows that this thing exists, and it is difficult for us to receive a surprising effect." And the gold in the treasury has plummeted, how will this battle be fought later?"

Since Han Zhao knew the secret of the Frank Foot Giant, he would definitely defend against this great killing weapon in advance. Wei Ting's opening of the Frank Foot Giant has the effect of shaking the field, but in the face of a prepared enemy, the lethality may not be good. In this way, the cost performance is not high.

To fight a war is to burn money. If all the gold in the treasury is squandered early, what will the king of Houwei do to fight with the Marquis of Zhenbei and the impostor little prince, do you believe?

Yao Liyan took a breath, and then continued: "Besides, Yasukuni has been destroyed for a hundred years, can the open-footed giant still be used? When David took over Yasukuni, this open-footed giant had already broken down. "No magic weapon can survive the wear and tear of time, and no matter how strong a puppet is, it can't be an exception.

After all, it has delicate components inside, not just iron lumps.

Tu Qing argued: "Why can't it be used? Every three years, the royal court has to allocate special funds to repair the giants. ”

"That's just repairs. Yao Liyan looked at King Wei and swallowed, "We never started. ”

Isn't this nonsense, as soon as it starts, it will cost a thousand taels of gold, and no matter how rich Wei Wang is, he can't try to play. Besides, after seven or eight years of continuous warfare, the treasury has long been tight.

King Wei had a gloomy face: "In the past six years, the special funds for repairing the giants have been moved to fill the military expenses. ”

Repairing giants is a lot of money, and Lao Weiwang's father and son don't think that the enemy can attack Shengyi City in a short time, so use good steel on the blade, and solve the military needs first is serious.

When there is a shortage of money in the war, we have to make up everything and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and this kind of thing is taken for granted.

Tu Qing was dumbfounded, and reluctantly said: "Then you can use at least half of it!"

King Wei looked at the other ministers: "What about you, what do you say?"

Those few people also supported Yao Liyan and Tu Qingzhong, and they were red-faced, and they had no other useful suggestions.

In fact, King Wei also understands that the current situation has reached an either/or juncture, and there is no third way to go or stay.

There were people in front of him, but King Wei didn't have a sense of security. His palms were full of cold sweat, and there was only one thought circling back and forth: "What to do, what to do?"

As soon as it was dawn, Yan Saburo fed the cat.

In this season, the small fish in the outer river of Shengyi are full of eggs, and Yan Saburo chops them up and mixes rice porridge, and the cat can lick not a single grain of rice left in the bowl.

The white cat eats until its belly is round, and it is not even flexible in its movements. The boy took the opportunity to scratch her belly, she was very unhappy, but the speed of the claws was noticeably slower.

Hiccup, too full.

Yan Saburo then put the cat into the box and went out to eat his breakfast.

Yes, Yan Saburo and He Xiaokite are already in Shengyi.

When the Zhenbei Army and the Brown Army were still dealing with the Imperial Army on the banks of the Sanlong River, they had already rushed to Weidu with stars and moons, and arrived in Shengyi just the day before the news of the Zhenbei Hou's army reached the royal court.

The "remnants of the Liao family" have been captured, and Shengyi's review of people entering and leaving is not as strict as last time, and there is also Han Zhao's forces in the national capital to help, so they sneaked in without too much effort.

What they stayed in was still the small courtyard where Yan Saburo stayed last time. After a few months, things are not people.

At this time, Yan Saburo was eating bean curd in the restaurant. I don't know how many shops sell sugar water in the streets and alleys of Shengyi, but this one's bean curd is different from other places, in addition to the regular fragrant soft heat, there is actually a strange tenacity, like skin jelly.

The bean curd can be sweet or salty, and Yan Saburo asked for sweet. That is, pour a large spoonful of brown sugar water on top of the hot bean curd, and then order a dozen red beans stewed until crispy, and eat them with a snort, which is more enjoyable than anything else.
