The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 173 0173, who can avoid the flames of war
Qin Feng took the position of hall master and let Qin Lan live in the Chu family.Their house was too small, and Chu Meng was indeed wronged.Ask Qin Lan to live with Chu Meng in the past, while Qin Feng still stays in the courtyard.

A good life has just begun, and just when Qin Feng is making great plans, news comes from the border.As more and more news came back, Qin Feng went to Chu's house immediately.If the news from the border is true, the first thing he will do now is to send Qin Lan and Chu Meng out of Liyang City.

As the saying goes, the house leaks happen to rain all night, and the cough meets the big aunt.

Li Yang Dynasty's urgent military affairs, logically, would only be passed on within the army.Even if it is to be reported to the imperial court, ordinary people will not be informed of such important military affairs.

Half a month ago, the Desert Dynasty raided the border of the Liyang Dynasty, destroying two cities in one day.In half a month, several cities have been breached, and all spies who sent military information to Liyang City have been intercepted and killed.A total of more than a hundred spies with extraordinary skills were dispatched from the major cities, but only three of them were able to reach Liyang City in the end.

The desert dynasty's army of millions invaded, and the Liyang dynasty was caught off guard.An army of one million is approaching Liyang City, and today it is less than three hundred miles away from Liyang City.The news could not be transmitted back to Liyang City in the first time. At this time, the million troops of the Great Desert Dynasty are probably less than two hundred miles away from Liyang City.

People in Liyang City were panicked, and there were a large number of carriages leaving the city from time to time these days.Of course they would not go through the South City Gate, because the million troops of the Desert Dynasty were coming towards the South City Gate.The wealthy and wealthy gentry who wanted to escape from Liyang City would choose to go to the North City Gate.To the north of Beicheng is the Beiliang Kingdom, which has always had a good relationship with the Liyang Dynasty.

Entering the Chu Mansion, Qin Lan and Chu Meng were sitting in the courtyard.One holds a needle and thread in one hand, and the other holds a scarf.Qin Lan was afraid that Chu Meng would be bored, so she wanted to teach her some simple female reds.Chu Meng has always been a lady of everyone, and has never been in contact with anything other than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When Chu Fei was alive, he loved Chu Meng very much, and his attitude towards his children was different from ordinary people.He doesn't dote on his son but only on his daughter. Every time his son makes a mistake, he must be punished heavily, but his daughter will only remind him softly when he makes a mistake.Chu Fei has his own experience in educating children, and he never asks his own children for other people's children.

Without the heart of arguing with others, without the heart of comparing with others, Chu Meng never liked excitement since she was a child.This may be related to Chu Fei's education method, but fortunately, she likes reading and playing chess very much.

Qin Feng told Qin Lan and Chu Meng about the general situation. Many people in Liyang City moved out of Liyang City.Most of them were rich and wealthy, and they chose to take refuge in Beiliang.Qin Feng has already found a carriage and driver, and he can send Qin Feng and Chu Meng out of Liyang City at any time.

The war is about to break out, and the lives left behind will live in peace.This is not one gang against another, or one city against another.This is the most daunting contest between dynasties, and the final result will eventually end with winners and losers.

Chu Meng didn't leave, she wanted to stay in Liyang City, stay with her parents and younger brother.Although they are no longer there, their graves are still there.She is the only one left at home, and it doesn't make any difference to her where she goes.It doesn't make any difference whether to go or not. What she is most afraid of now is that there is no one by her side.

Qin Lan didn't leave either, and she was more determined than what Chu Meng said.Just now Qin Feng said that he would definitely not leave Liyang City.Even if the people in Liyang City are gone, he will stay and live with Liyang City.

Because he is not guarding this city alone, this is the place where he has lived for more than ten years, and it is also the place that Chu Fei wants to protect with all his heart.

Qin Lan asked me to help persuade Qin Feng, hoping that Qin Feng can figure out how to leave Liyang City.An army of one million is about to approach the city, but if they want to leave, it will be very dangerous.I didn't try to persuade Qin Feng, but instead comforted Qin Lan.It's not that she doesn't know Qin Feng's temper. Once a decision is made, no one can change it.

And I don't think that if you stay here, you will definitely die, but the million-strong army of the Desert Dynasty is probably already ready to take down the Liyang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Qin Shang, the current emperor of the Liyang Dynasty, galloped on the battlefield for more than ten years when he was young.Expeditions in the East and West in the South and the North. He fought three times with the Khan of the Desert Dynasty.Every time he can win by surprise, every time he can make the Khan of the Desert Dynasty very angry.No one thought that in the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, one day the Liyang Dynasty would face such a situation.

When he was young, he didn't know how to cherish his body. Qin Shang's old illness relapsed eight years ago.Then there have been ups and downs, and the time for governing the government is less than half of the year.He spends most of his time recuperating from illness, and most of the military and state affairs are handled by the assistant minister.Fortunately, there were many loyal ministers in the Liyang Dynasty, and there had never been any ministers who practiced favoritism in the past eight years.

The desert dynasty dispatched an army of one million this time, obviously wanting to eat the Liyang dynasty in one go.Qin Shang had been ill for eight years, and although he was heaving his breath, he could no longer mount his horse to fight.For Qin Shang, this is the most painful thing, and what is even more painful is that the former defeated general is now making a comeback.

Many people understand the strength of the Li Yang Dynasty, and they also know how much thought Qin Shang put into it.The iron cavalry of the Liyang Dynasty were powerful in all directions, and the infantry was even more brave and good at fighting.Another point is extremely important, the total army strength of the Liyang Dynasty is the same as that of the Desert Dynasty, but its combat effectiveness is somewhat stronger than that of the Desert Dynasty.

In the confrontation of a hundred people against a hundred people, the Desert Dynasty won the Liyang Dynasty.This is an indisputable fact, even many veteran generals of the Li Yang Dynasty have to admit this fact.

In the confrontation between more than a thousand people and less than ten thousand people, the victory of the Desert Dynasty and the Liyang Dynasty was fifty-five points.This is not nonsense, but an indisputable fact.Whether you can win the confrontation generally depends on factors such as the right time, place and people.

In the confrontation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of millions, the Liyang Dynasty won the Desert Dynasty.The premise is that the Li Yang Dynasty has a backbone, someone who can unite the brave generals in the dynasty.Brothers work together to break gold, and the brave are invincible.

No one doubted the fighting power of the Li Yang Dynasty, just like no one doubted Qin Shang's ability to unify the six kingdoms.But Qin Shang didn't do that. After he brought the three neighboring countries into the territory of the Liyang Dynasty, he ordered a ban on outward expansion.Vigorously develop agriculture and commerce, and actively promote the economic development of the Liyang Dynasty itself.

Envoys from neighboring countries once came to visit Qin Shang and asked Qin Shang when they met.Since you have the opportunity to swallow other neighboring countries, why suddenly stop after swallowing three?

Qin Shang only replied to the envoy with one sentence. He said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the territory, the greater the responsibility. Instead of taking all of them in and maintaining the status quo, it is better to take up less land and manage the land you own first. .Only by making the people live a better life can we have the confidence to face all challenges.”

Qin Lan looked up at Qin Feng who was in a daze, and said, "Are you thinking about Uncle Chu again?"

Qin Feng nodded lightly, sighed and sat down on a chair beside him.Once upon a time, he heard Chu Fei mention the emperor Qin Shang more than once.Chu Fei said that he could understand Qin Shang's situation, and he also knew what Qin Shang should do.An emperor who holds the most powerful army in the world is tormented by illnesses every day.

Difficulties are temporary, opportunities are equal, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.Every citizen in Liyang City wanted to see Qin Shang, hoped to see him in armor.Because they knew that once Qin Shang put on his battle armor, it had already been proved that he would live and die with Li Yang City.

But they were disappointed. Every day, there would be people waiting and looking forward to outside the house, and some would open the windows and stick their heads out.They only wanted to see Qin Shang in battle armor for the first time, but in the end they only saw the rich and powerful gentry who kept carrying things and left Liyang City.

Rich and wealthy gentry can move their families out of Liyang City, because it doesn't matter where they go with money in their pockets.What's more, the Beiliang country tends to be poor, where the people are tough but extremely poor.A family that was considered a wealthy family in the Northern Liang Kingdom was considered a well-to-do family in the Li Yang Dynasty at best.

In the beginning, we moved at night, because those people only heard the gossip.The news is reliable but cannot be made public. Everyone is running around to save their lives.Later, I don't know who started it, someone started to move in the broad daylight.When someone asked them, they just made up an excuse, and they knew it was a lie.

Will the government not come forward to take care of it?

Are you kidding me, extra manpower has already been sent to the gate of the city.They will check the king's people, gold, silver and jewelry are not allowed to be taken out of Liyang City, only copper plates and silver notes are allowed.This has ruined those rich and wealthy gentry, if they can't take the money out, they will starve to death when they go to Beiliang.

The copper plate is a unified currency, which can be used no matter which country you go to.But the silver bills are just the opposite. Many silver bills can only be used in this city.Even the largest bank notes can only be used within the territory of the Li Yang Dynasty.There are no stores for them abroad, so it is impossible to cash their banknotes.

Since Chu Meng and Qin Lan didn't want to leave, Qin Feng didn't intend to send them away by force.Although the result of being willing and being forced to be helpless is the same, there is a big difference in essence.Since both of them refused to leave, it would be futile for Qin Feng to force them.

Send someone to strengthen the gate of the Chu family, and then store dry food and water in the original basement.According to the suggestion I gave him, Qin Feng regarded the Chu family as a secret hiding place.Once the people of the Desert Dynasty invaded Liyang City, Qin Lan and Chu Meng could hide in the basement.There was enough food and water to last them both for a month.

Qin Feng told the two of them at the time that it was okay to stay but not to make trouble.Qin Feng would not hide in the basement, so when the Great Desert Dynasty attacked the city, he would definitely participate in defending the city at the top of the city.I don't know what this kid was thinking, but he wanted to defend the city where even the officers and soldiers ran away.

From time to time in the city, people were killed in the street and then hanged on the city gate.Those who were killed were all spies of the Desert Dynasty, and those who killed them were all officers and soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty.Before preparing to attack a city, one must first understand the specific structure of the city.The second is the number of defenders and equipment configuration of the city.

Since spies from the Desert Dynasty have been found frequently, it proves that the million-strong army of the Desert Dynasty is about [-] miles away from Liyang City.According to the normal marching speed, they will arrive at Liyang City that night.

Since it is the largest city in the world, it is natural that anyone who wants to attack the city will not be able to attack it.The one-meter-thick and eight-foot-high city wall is enough to keep out all the troops who want to forcibly enter the city.

If you want to capture the number one city in the world, it's better not to fight if you don't have two brushes.
