Yes, the Liu family's Ten Days City.

This was a statement that Liu Heng heard on the road, which made his eyes glow cold and silent.

The Ten Days City was obviously built by him, and he continued to pour his heart and soul into it, how could it have become the Liu family in the past three or four years?

Anger and endless questions surged through his mind, but along the way, he asked many people who knew something about the current situation in Great Xia, but he couldn't get much useful information. Decameron City is just a newly built big city, and it can't get much attention, even if people who know about the current situation of Daxia, most of them only say that they heard that it has always been a newly built city built by the Liu family, and in addition, it is vague, obviously no one knows more about Decameron City.

The Ten Days City of the Liu Family?

In the three or four years since Liu Heng left, a lot must have happened. It's just that what Liu Heng doesn't understand is that obviously Uncle He is still there, the heart of the city formation is in his hands, and he still holds the power of the army, no matter how he looks at it, he is as stable as Mount Tai, how can he be usurped by the Liu family?

You know, the city formation is enough to resist the powerful battle formation of the overlord, the imperial gift "Shocking Six Potential Array", the original thousands of hundred feather regiments expanded into ten thousand feather guards, these powerful forces are all in hand, how can it become the Liu family?

In addition to being suspicious, Liu Heng was inevitably worried, under such drastic changes, are He Bo, Liu Heng, Niu Ziaxe, Dasi, Zhao Lai, Han Zhong, Lu Chi, Huang Rushi, Bai Mingze, Huang An and others, as well as Ding Leer, the three sisters and brothers of the Mi family, everyone of the Li He clan, Zhu Dacone and his father and mother who will arrive later, okay?

What does the Decameron City look like today?

The first time he heard the news, Liu Heng was anxious, but then he gradually calmed down. Because the change of the Decameron City is not an overnight thing, whether he goes early or late, the Decameron City will only be what it is now, as long as the city is still there, it will be enough.

At this moment, he was only two hundred miles away from the Ten Days City, and if he hurried there, he would be able to reach it in two hours at most. Liu Heng was walking quickly at the beginning, and when he was less than twenty miles away, his speed plummeted, and he quietly blended into a group of people who seemed to be refugees, and walked slowly.

At this distance, some spies could already be seen wandering in all directions, and seeing this, Liu Heng felt a little calm, "It's okay, the guard has not slackened." ”

The spies he saw were all full of blood and blood, strong soldiers and horses, especially very vigorous and vigorous, and they were all good soldiers who had seen blood at a glance. The so-called subtle and subtle observations, the appearance of the spy reflects that the original Baiyu Regiment and the current Wanyuwei are still a strong force that can conquer and fight well, which naturally makes Liu Heng feel better.

These spies noticed the group of refugees that Liu Heng had mixed in early, and two teams of spies came from afar, surrounding this group of refugees, and everyone's eyes were like eagles and wolves, which frightened the refugees into a panic, and a large number of people cried and fell to their knees, trembling and palpitating.

Fortunately, the spies did not disturb the people, and after sweeping a circle, they gradually moved away, and followed far behind, as if they were just spending, and did not prevent them from going to the Decameron City in front. This appearance made the refugees panic at first, but later a sensible person preached loudly, saying that the officers and soldiers of the Ten Days City were good, and the performance of the spies made the refugees calm down, and they thanked the spies in the rear and continued to trek forward.

Along the way, Liu Heng saw that from all directions, more fleeing victims gathered from time to time, sometimes one or two, sometimes dozens or hundreds, constantly converging, so that the number of people in Liu Heng's team increased rapidly.

"Disaster of war. ”

Liu Heng had mixed feelings in his heart, and looking at the increasingly large scale of refugees, he really realized the meaning of a saint who once said that "military disasters are fiercer than natural disasters".

Simply calculated, from the thirty-fifth year of Kaiping to the thirty-eighth year of Kaiping now, the battle between Great Xia and Beihu has lasted for four or five years, not only far beyond Liu Heng's imagination, but also beyond the imagination of everyone in the world.

This war, which everyone thought would not last long, lasted too long, and looking at the current situation, it will last even longer if the war is linked to the dispute between the crown prince.

That is to say, the war has not died down until now, but has moved forward firmly in the direction of intensification.

From the overall situation, in the past four years, Daxia has gained the upper hand, directly beating back the three major states that were invaded and occupied by Beihu shortly after the founding of the country, and began to go deeper into the territory of Beihu, which can be said to have completely raised the national prestige, but what about the real situation?

Everyone knows that the national strength of Daxia and Beihu is similar, but the number of strong men and the combat power of soldiers are better than Beihu.

Indeed, this battle played a national prestige and impressed the world, but behind the might, there was a bloody and heavy price. As far as Liu Heng knew, the army on the right side alone lost hundreds of thousands of sergeants in more than half a year, and the casualties were very exaggerated. Even if the war eases a little after he leaves, the loss will definitely be an even more staggering amount after more than four years.

The number of people in Great Xia is quite large, but don't forget that the war losses are all men, and a large part of them are young and strong. They are not only the pillars of their own family, but also the pillars of Great Xia, so that millions of casualties are unbearable for any country.

This is still a loss on the surface, and the loss in the dark is even greater.

The death of a male member of each family in a state affair means that the family has lost its pillars, and it is often difficult to support itself in any urgent and difficult matter, which is a loss that no matter how much the state gives it, it cannot be compensated. In addition, in order to support the war, a large amount of manpower and material resources will inevitably be inclined to the war, and too many troops will be withdrawn, and the country will be empty, and there will inevitably be many bandits and disasters.

Liu Heng couldn't imagine what the country would be like in Daxia today, but he could conclude that the life of the people would definitely not be easy.

It lasted for more than four years, and the impact of the war on Daxia and Beihu must have spread in all aspects, so it was said that it was difficult to continue to hold on, but there was a dispute between the princes. It can be said that at the beginning of the prince dispute, if a long-term sick patient was given another dose of wolf and tiger medicine, at first glance it seemed that he would regain his vigorous appearance, but in the long run, he would completely empty his body.

Even Liu Heng could see through this situation, and he didn't believe that so many capable people and wise men in the government and the opposition would not understand. Therefore, knowing that he should stop the war early to recuperate, why did the imperial court use such a wolf and tiger medicine as the dispute between the princes to make the war more intense, but Liu Heng really couldn't understand it.

To say that among the countless bad news, the only news that makes Liu Heng feel a little at ease is that the battle for the crown prince has begun, and the royal family involved has gained great authority. The royal family can monopolize the power and open a government on their own to recruit talents, which means that as long as the royal family has the ability, they can recruit talents from all over the world, regardless of whether they are Beihu people, Daxia people, Lingyuan people, Baiwu people or Nandong people, Baiyue barbarians, as long as they are willing to spend a lot of money and let it be used.

In Liu Heng's eyes, if you use money to expand the source of troops, you can use financial resources to continue the war. Thinking that the royal family must be overjoyed to hear this good news, it itself and the forces supporting the royal family will obviously not be stingy, and they will inevitably recruit troops and horses on a large scale, and the total cost of all parties must be an astronomical amount.

But on the other hand, Liu Heng had to admire the person who came up with this idea.

This can reduce the loss of the country's young and strong, second, it can use the young and strong of all parties to continue the war, and third, it can also secretly reduce the financial resources and energy of all parties in the country.

Liu Heng didn't care about anything else, as long as he knew that this method could reduce the deaths and injuries of his country's young people, it was enough.

However, seeing that more and more refugees were gathering from all directions, and soon more than a thousand people, Liu Heng still felt heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.

War and war are enough to displace countless refugees for a variety of reasons. After all, in troubled times, ordinary people are the group of people who have the most no way to resist risks.

The more refugees gathered, the quieter the crowd became, with not many people talking, just pulling relatives and friends to move forward as best they could. They have yellow and thin faces, withered or rickety, unable to distinguish between men, women and children, numb faces, but very vigilant eyes, stubbornly protecting the package in their arms, refusing to have too much contact with any stranger.

Most refugees regard it as a package of their lives, often with little money hidden in it, and more of a variety of food and belongings. On the way to escape, the most precious thing is usually not gold and silver jewelry, but water and a bite to eat.

Liu Heng felt sorry in his heart, but after all, he just sighed secretly, because he didn't have the power to change the status quo.

Just staggered along, just about 20 miles, walked for nearly an hour, and there were bursts of cheers from the refugees in front of them, so that more refugees had brilliance, and they couldn't wait to look up from afar.

In the mountains ahead, there is an unusually eye-catching big city, which is the hope of all people, the city of the Ten Days, which they think about day and night!

In the crowd, Liu Heng showed the same expression and gaze, stared at it for a moment, and squinted slightly.

After all, it was the city he personally participated in building back then, and every bit of it was still vivid, and it only took a look to notice that this Ten Days City was obviously much larger than when he built it.

Originally, it was only a small city within a radius of ten miles, but it has not been seen in just two or three years, but it already has the appearance of a big city, looking at it from a distance, it is majestic and majestic, and it is comparable to some state capitals in Great Xia.

The commotion of the crowd attracted the spies who were watching around to rush and yell at them, so that the crowd quickly quieted down. However, seeing the Ten Days City, it seemed that everyone had a force again, and they all accelerated their speed without being urged.

"When you hear well, the people of the Ten Days City will be merciful, and they will take in and give relief to the displaced people. But your lordship's mercy does not mean that you can do whatever you want, if you don't understand the rules and cause trouble, then it is not as simple as driving you away!"

A spy who seemed to be the leader of the gang shouted coldly: "Look up, the bones and heads on both sides of the road are not all left by the Beihu dog soldiers, and many of them are from the troublemakers, they are your example! Now show me carefully, keep it in mind, and don't blame me for being ruthless in the future." ”

"It's a good combination. ”

At this time, Liu Heng's new impression of Ten Days City has been maintained well. Not to mention anything else, at least he now looked at New Decameron City from the perspective of a bystander, and he only felt that there were many advantages and commendable points, which surprised him a little.

He thought to himself that if he hadn't left, at most he would have been able to make his sergeants strictly abide by military discipline and sharpen a decent strong army, but the shining points of these subtleties may not be so thoughtful. These discoveries strengthened his previous plans, and he decided to hide and take a good look at the Decameron City, which was now very strange to him.

In the face of the threat of this spy captain, a group of refugees were frightened, hurriedly threw themselves down, and either thanked or dared to say to the soldiers, until the commander waved their hands to let them continue to move forward, and a large group of people dared to obey the order.

"The road is wider. ”

Liu Heng carefully searched for the difference between the Ten Days City and his memory, and did not let go of any difference, but just as he was paying attention to the widened mountain road, he saw a group of people, and his eyes shrank sharply.

The old patriarch, Yaya, Wujiang, Liwu, Zhi, Yixi, and several ......

Familiar faces that had only been separated for a few months appeared on the side of the road, not only them, but also many Lihe people dressed similarly to them, all digging earth and paving stones on the side of the road to open up the road wider. They are all a little thin now, they only care about doing things, and they are silent to each other, and they don't seem to be the people who live peacefully and happily every day in Liu Heng's memory.

In the past four or five months, they have traveled tens of thousands of miles through two countries, and they have obviously changed a lot from the distant Lingyuan to the Ten Days City.

Liu Heng didn't come forward to recognize him, just silently looked at the people of the Li He tribe in the crowd. When he saw that there were still some sergeants around the Li He people, wearing armor and holding sharp blades, staring at everyone like wolves, clearly acting as an overseer, the anger in his heart surged again.

"I asked them to come to the Decameron, not just to take refuge, but to give them a better and more hopeful future, not to let them come here to work harder. Liu Heng's eyes flashed with coldness, "I thought that the Ten Days City could give them these, but I didn't expect the current Ten Days City to ...... Sure enough, it's not the Decameron I know anymore. ”

At that time, the mountain road was narrow and rugged, in order to prevent Hu Qi from rushing all the way up, so that Decameron City would suffer the most severe attack. Now widening the mountain road seems to be a trivial matter, but it also reveals a kind of self-confidence, it seems that today's Ten Days City is no longer as afraid of the impact of a large number of Hu Cavalry as it was back then.

Looking at the top of Qiwei Mountain, the city wall of the Ten Days City is becoming more and more towering and strong, and it is full of traces left by the war, mottled and hideous, shocking, not only does not show dilapidation, but adds more intimidating atmosphere.

This was especially evident in the group of refugees who had seen Decameron for the first time. When they came here, the speed of the crowd slowed down, and many people looked hesitant and scared, and even wanted to stay away, but they had to rely on the spies to constantly urge and force them to move forward slowly, just because the deterrent effect of the appearance of the Ten Days City was too strong.

Coming to the city, Liu Heng's heart was shocked again.
