The State of Yan actually sent troops!

The State of Yan indeed sent troops!

Zhu Xiuyuan was right next to Dong Cheng. He took the newspaper and read it while reading: "... Yan State mobilized 200,000 troops and gathered in Ezhou, Wuchang, Jiangzhou, Pengze, Guichi, Wuhu, and Dangtu along the Yangtze River.

To the north, they will attack our Ezhou, Jiangzhou, and Xuanzhou..."

This news was so shocking and sudden, like a thunder, it shocked everyone.

Although they had originally expected that the Yan people were cunning and might send their troops south to harass the Chen border.

However, in everyone's mind, this possibility is believed to be very small, so small that it can almost be ignored.

The key target in Jiangzhou is the King of Shaozhou.

However, this steel-like "palm of reality" fanned out fiercely, with strong winds and heavy rain, which was so powerful and destructive that it knocked Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan and others dizzy.

Everyone stood there blankly, not knowing what was going on for a moment.

The most unlikely thing happened in the end.

It came so suddenly and directly, making everyone panic.

They would rather believe that this is just a dream, a horrible nightmare, but as long as they wake up, everything will be fine.

Liu Wencai was the first to break the silence.

A smile appeared on his thin face, pretending to be relaxed, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, are you colluding with this scribe to put on a show together to scare us, and then you make fun of me?"

I wait?"

When Liu Wencai asked with a smile, some people really chose to believe it.

For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince tilted his head slightly and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan secretly, expecting Zhu Xiuyuan to laugh and say, "Brother Liu guessed it right."

However, what Liu Wencai and the prince saw was Zhu Xiuyuan's livid face.

There is hesitation, fear, and determination.

Moreover, Zhu Xiuyuan's face remained livid, unchanged, and he responded coldly.

He didn't speak, didn't nod, and didn't even have any unnecessary expressions.

...Then this is true!

The smile on Liu Wencai's thin face gradually solidified, gradually disappeared, and finally turned livid.

His Highness the Crown Prince's heart sank.

Jiangzhou is really in danger.

And the way back to Beijing must pass through Xuanzhou, but no one along the Xuanzhou line is spared, and they also face the threat of the Yan army...

The prince's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but squeeze them together, forming a "chuan" shape between his eyebrows.

But now, the attention of Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan and others is no longer on His Highness the Crown Prince.

Instead, he was firmly attracted by the news of the Yan army's attack, and had no time to care about other things.

The prince opened his mouth slightly, his face turned red, and he wanted to speak...

But then I thought of his persistence a few days ago.

Words such as "I will never leave Jiangzhou for half a step", "I vow to live and die with Jiangzhou", "I will never waste my father's trust", "I will never let down my mother and concubine's high expectations" and so on.

It came from his own mouth, and it is still fresh in my memory, as if it is in my ears.

Therefore, he could never say "send Gu Gu back to Beijing"!

The prince opened his mouth but did not make a sound. Seeing that Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan had not noticed him, the prince closed his mouth tightly, his face turned red, he was in a trance, and he was in a daze.

"How could the State of Yan send its troops south to attack the border of our State of Chen?"

After a long silence, Dong Cheng muttered to himself, as if questioning Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Bei Yuan moved unexpectedly, and the iron hooves went south, seizing the pass and plundering...Although Bei Yuan's main opponent has always been the Liang State, the Yan State also borders Bei Yuan..."

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty had no reason. They only plundered the Liang State and did not attack the Qiu of the Yan State... As a result, the Yan State still had some remaining strength. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Liang State had no time to pay attention to our Chen State, the Yan State gathered an army of 200,000 and invaded our Chen State...

…”

The corners of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth moved, with a livid face.

He also said as if talking to himself: "The people of Yan are cunning, and the four princes of Yan are even more insidious, with many tricks and vicious methods. It is expected that it is the four princes of Yan who are obstructing them, colluding with Bei Yuan, and taking advantage of this opportunity.

, plotting against me, Chen Guofenghua!"

"Brother Zhu is right. The fourth prince of Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu, does have such ability!"

Liu Wencai has accepted the reality and actively participated.

"I also think what Zhu Sima said is reasonable!"

Jiang Governor Li Linzhou gave a speech and also came to increase his presence.

Dong Cheng nodded, turned around and looked around, looking at everyone in the hall one by one. Finally, his eyes stopped on Zhu Xiuyuan.

Asked: "What should we do in Jiangzhou? What should we do in the other prefectures and counties facing the Yan army, such as Ezhou, Pengze, Guichi, Wuhu, etc.?"

Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai and others did not speak after hearing this.

Instead, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiuyuan.

Because in the past three days, Zhu Xiuyuan has been the absolute talker regarding the defense of Jiangzhou City.

The most important thing is that he has two thousand Poyang Prince's generals in his hands. This is the main force and cannot be commanded by others.

Another point is, although Zhu Xiuyuan is not very proficient in ancient city defense battles, he can ask, he is not ashamed to ask, gather everyone's strength, and plan together...

Zhu Xiuyuan seems to be the backbone of Jiangzhou's city defense.

Therefore, Liu Wencai and Li Linzhou couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "What else can we do? Our Jiangzhou is a border state, and the yamen has five hundred state soldiers. Its purpose is to coordinate and defend the border... Therefore, we can only stand up to resist and defend the border."

Jiangzhou City will live and die with Jiangzhou City!"

"Okay, well said!"

"We will live and die with Jiangzhou City!"

"Guard Jiangzhou City!"

…

After the cheering was over, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately started deployment again.

In the current situation, the king of Shaozhou is rushing towards us from the south, and the Yan army is watching eagerly from the north.

In this case, if you want to defend Jiangzhou City, you will need more manpower and material resources.

"We need more people to help defend the city. It is best to divide it into two teams and take turns guarding. Moreover, to maintain stability in the city, we also need enough manpower to prevent civil strife."

"My father-in-law, Brother Liu, and other gentlemen, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhu Xiuyuan, as the "chairman of the meeting" here, first raised the issue of manpower.

Dong Cheng: "Looking at it now, the garrison in the city and the one hundred thousand civilians combined are slightly insufficient. We can use the city as the center and move in the people within a radius of a hundred miles. In this way, we can not only supplement the manpower, but also

It can prevent the people from suffering."

Zhu Xiuyuan clapped his hands and praised: "In wartime, the wall is fortified and the fields are cleared. This method is wonderful, and my father-in-law is still clever!"

Li Linzhou added: "We can also send envoys to ask Hongzhou and Raozhou for help and send manpower and material resources to overcome the difficulties together."

Liu Wencai: "At critical moments, women and children can also go into battle or do whatever they can."
