Chongli Prefecture.
After receiving the news that the King of Jin led an army of 450,000 north yesterday and headed straight for him.
Early this morning.
Ning He came to the city wall and looked towards Lingnan with a frown.
Lingnan is not far from Chongli Prefecture.
At most, it is only about 150 miles.
Watching from afar for a long time.
Ning He then withdrew his gaze.
He asked Ning Yan who was standing to one side, "Where is the King of Jin now?"
"Return to the general."
Ning Yan replied, "An hour ago, King Jin was still a hundred miles away from us."
Ning He raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He murmured, "We can march fifty miles a day, and we will arrive by tomorrow evening. After days of rapid marching, our men and horses are exhausted. If the King of Jin wants to attack the city, it will take until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
talking.
Ning He looked at Ning Yan again and said, "Sister Yan, what do you think? When the King of Jin arrives tomorrow and sets up camp, I will lead an army out of the city at midnight for a night attack. Do we have a chance of winning?"
"inappropriate."
Ning Yan paused for a moment after hearing this.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "The King of Jin is coming with great force and has been planning for a long time. It is impossible that we are not prepared for this. Moreover, the enemy is numerous and our army is several times larger than ours. It is best not to leave the city to fight unless it is necessary."
"General, you should focus on defending the city now."
Ning He nodded after hearing this and gave up the idea of a night attack.
Then he asked, "How many days will the defense equipment in the city last?"
"According to the general's instructions a few days ago, the craftsmen in the city worked overnight. As of today, the various city defense equipment are enough for our army to use for half a month." Ning Yan's answer made her feel relieved.
"Half a month is enough."
Ning He said, and then ordered: "Wait a minute, go to the storehouse and get three thousand taels of silver to give to those craftsmen, so that they can work harder and continue to rush the production."
"There's no problem with the craftsmen, but the fine iron, wood, and other supplies in the city have been exhausted, and there's only less than a month's worth of food and fodder left in the city." After hearing this, Ning Yan explained the current situation of Chongli Prefecture.
Ning He frowned upon hearing this and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to gather food, refined iron, kerosene and other supplies as soon as possible."
However, when saying this, Ning He himself was a little unsure.
Can Your Majesty really still transfer food and supplies to yourself?
Now the imperial treasury is empty and cannot even take out one hundred taels of silver. The last batch of grain and fodder was used for disaster relief, but it was stolen by thieves before it was transported to Xingqing Prefecture and has not been found yet.
but.
If you want to defend Chongli Prefecture and keep Prince Jin out, these things are indispensable.
Whether it is fine iron or food.
Or kerosene, wood and other city defense equipment are of paramount importance.

Simultaneously.
The news of Prince Jin's rebellion was spread by people with ulterior motives within just one day.
Like a raging fire.
It spread throughout the Dawu Dynasty in an instant.
Even the Dali and Wei dynasties, as well as the northern barbarians and southern Vietnam, received the news.
The whole world was shocked for a while.
There was a lot of discussion.
Everyone was shocked and stunned by Prince Jin's sudden rebellion.
At this moment, everyone is at this moment.
Turn your attention to Lingnan and Chongli Prefecture.
Chang'an, palace.
in the hall.
The empress was not surprised after receiving the news.
After all, in many previous simulations, King Jin chose to rebel on the first day of the year.
She also took a series of countermeasures.
Not to say it's foolproof.
If we block it for a while, there shouldn't be any problem.
But the civil and military officials in the court were not so calm as they were all informed by the news of Prince Jin's rebellion.
Everyone was very scared and in a panic.
"Prince Jin rebelled?"
"Hiss" "Four hundred and fifty thousand troops are heading north, straight to Chongli Prefecture?"
"This, this, this"
"Who is the commander of Chongli Prefecture? Can he stop the King of Jin? What should we do?"
The entire court, civil and military officials, was in chaos.
The solemn and dignified Golden Throne Hall suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
"quiet."
Listening to the noise of the civil and military officials in the court.
The empress's eyes turned cold.
He said coldly: "What kind of manner is it to make a scene in the court?"
It has to be said that the empress was somewhat stretched in the face of many princes who were eyeing her covetously.
But in this court.
But no one dared to disobey.
With just one scolding, the originally noisy court suddenly became dead silent.
All the civil and military officials in the court fell silent and dared not say anything more.
"Humph!"
The empress snorted coldly when she saw this.
His narrow eyes were filled with coldness: "Just because a vassal king rebelled and committed treason, you scared the rest of you into this state? What do I raise you for?"
talking.
The empress's eyes, filled with coldness, swept over all the civil and military officials in the court.
Being scanned by the empress's eyes.
Everyone's face turned pale and they lowered their heads in fear, fearing that they would be questioned.
"A bunch of trash."
When the empress saw this, she became angry again.
He suppressed his anger and looked coldly at Xiao Yanwen, who was standing at the head of the civil officials, and said, "Tell me, how should we deal with the rebellion of the King of Jin?"
Xiao Yanwen was named.
Instead of being surprised, he was delighted and walked out immediately.
His Highness Yu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think that the 450,000 troops of the King of Jin, although powerful, are just a paper tiger and are not worth worrying about."
"Oh?"
The empress immediately became interested when she heard this.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yanwen meaningfully: "Xiao Qing, what's the good plan?"
"I recommend someone to Your Majesty."
Seeing that the empress was in a good mood, Xiao Yanwen was delighted, but he did not show any emotion on his face.
"who?"
"The man whom I recommend to Your Majesty is valiant and good at fighting. He is extremely brave and can take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops as easily as taking something from a bag. He is also well versed in strategies and familiar with the art of war. He is quite like the King of Zhenbei in his day. If this man leads an army to quell the rebellion, the King of Jin will surely be defeated." Xiao Yanwen's words attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Some were surprised and suspicious, while others were disdainful.
Duke Wu rarely comes to court.
He stood at the head of the generals, looked at Xiao Yanwen with a mocking look, and sneered in his heart: "You are quite like the Zhenbei King in his old days. Xiao Yanwen, Xiao Yanwen, you really dare to say that."
Who is the King of Zhenbei?
The Dawu Dynasty has been established for more than a thousand years, and no one has ever emerged who can match it.
Not to mention the Dawu Dynasty.
Even in the whole world, there is nothing comparable to it.
You, on the other hand, just picked one at random. Do you really think that the achievements of King Zhenbei are worthless?
Anyone can do it.
"Xiao Qing has such a capable man under his command?" Despite the disdain of all the civil and military officials in the court, the empress, contrary to her usual behavior, showed a hint of surprise.
He seemed shocked by Xiao Yanwen's words.
"Return to Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Xiao Yanwen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said respectfully, "If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can summon him to the palace and show him a few things."
The empress hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
Then, under the stunned looks of the entire court, he nodded and said, "Yes."
She wanted to see it.
What kind of person would Xiao Yanwen find to fool himself?
Thanks to tianluo_aE for the reward!
Love you!
