Li Baiyu sat on the city wall without hiding his figure.
After Li Baiyu boosted his morale, the imperial guards on the city wall energetically began to carry defensive materials to the city wall.
Bundles of feathered arrows were carried to the city wall and distributed into the archers' quivers.
The shells were also stuffed into the barrel one by one by well-trained soldiers, ready to be fired at any time.
Although facing 400,000 enemy troops outside the city, the 100,000 imperial guards on the city wall did not show any signs of cowardice. They all treated the rebels outside the city as if they had gained military service and were promoted to high positions.
The capital, which was originally low in morale, became completely different the moment Li Baiyu climbed onto the tower.
Li Baiyu's inspiring methods can be seen in general.
Li Baiyu knew that climbing the city wall could not only boost morale, but also play a role in supervising the battle.
As long as he is around, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will fight bravely to kill the enemy. Even if some unexpected things happen due to the overwhelming strength of the rebels, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies will plummet. With him in charge, the situation can be reversed in a short time.
Looking at the soldiers of the three armies preparing fortifications in an orderly manner, Li Baiyu's confidence gradually increased.
After serving as emperor for a year, Li Baiyu also understood that sometimes it was impossible to be an emperor just relying on benevolence, righteousness and morality.
It must be done with both grace and power.
"Your Majesty, we are back."
Li Baiyu looked at the general manager Zeng Hai who suddenly climbed onto the tower and nodded slightly.
"How's it going?"
Zeng Hai also did not shy away from the Ouchi guards around him. The Ouchi guards who could be taken by Li Baiyu were all trustworthy and loyal people.
"The ancestor has left the late emperor's mausoleum and lurked in the city. Whenever there is an opportunity, he will solve the trouble for His Majesty."
"But according to the news that our ancestors secretly conveyed to us, several vassal kings seem to have recruited many martial arts masters for their own use. In a short period of time, our ancestors could not find a chance to take action. I hope Your Majesty will not blame them."
"It's okay, I understand Lao Zhou's difficulties."
"Since they raised their troops to rebel, they must have made all-out plans."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Suddenly, a steady sound of horns came from outside the peaceful capital, breaking the calm inside and outside the capital.
Zeng Hai was startled and hurriedly looked outside the city.
"Your Majesty, the rebels have begun to mobilize their troops."
...........
"Little sister, why are you here?"
Liu Ying glanced around, then moved lightly and sat on the stone bench opposite Liu Zhian.
Looking at Liu Zhi'an and Liu Ying'e, whose face was calm and unfazed, holding up a cup of tea and sipping it carefully, Liu Ying'e frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.
Looking at the tea Liu Zhian handed to her, Liu Ying took it and tasted it briefly, moistened her throat and put it aside.
"Brother, the rebels outside the city are huge. We can't tell what the actual situation will be until a battle begins. How come you still have the time to enjoy tea?"
Liu Zhi'an played with the teacup and raised his brows, then looked at Liu Ying calmly: "What should I do if I don't drink tea? I have no power, so I can't let you help your majesty defend the city, right?"
Liu Ying shook her head slightly: "Brother, you know that's not what I meant."
"Everyone in the city knows the grudge between Zhi'er and the King of Shu. If unfortunately the city is destroyed, the King of Shu will definitely retaliate. Shouldn't you take your family and withdraw from the city to temporarily avoid the war?"
"Have you ever thought about it? It's a good thing that Your Majesty is holding the capital. If the capital is captured by the rebels, Li Yunlong will definitely invade the Liu family to arrest you and threaten Zhi'er because of his resentment towards Zhi'er."
"My little sister heard that this kid Zhi'er is also traveling thousands of miles to the capital to save King Qin."
"Once you fall into Li Yunlong's hands and become hostages, Zhi'er will be at a loss."
"Before the war starts, you should immediately leave the capital with your sister-in-law, several nieces-in-law, and children to avoid the danger for the time being."
"With Willow Ye's strength, it's not a problem for you to escape from the city now. Once the war starts, the capital will be surrounded by rebels and you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Liu Zhian looked at Liu Ying, who had a pretty and anxious face, smiled slightly, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Then he calmly picked up the pot and poured himself tea.
"escape?"
"Why run away?"
"It's just a slapstick fight between a few kids, I won't run away!"
Liu Ying looked at the presence of the old god Liu Zhi'an in confusion. At this moment, she really couldn't figure out what Liu Zhi'an was thinking.
"Brother, this is not the time to be conceited."
"The capital has always been the territory of the Li family. The hidden stakes we buried in the capital will have no effect at all against the army outside the city."
"The Liu family has a large population, can you take care of them?"
"The grudge between Zhi'er and Li Yunlong is a direct grudge, so we must guard against it."
"Although my little sister comes from the Liu family, she is now a member of the Yun family. The Yun family has never had any grudges with these rebel kings."
"No matter who among them is the emperor, they can't do without the support of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang. They don't dare to touch my little sister, but that doesn't mean they won't touch you because of Zhi'er."
"Even if the third princess comes forward, I won't be able to protect you."
"Leave now, it's not too late."
"Don't do anything you're not sure about."
Liu Zhi'an drank the tea in the cup again and stretched.
"Have you ever seen your elder brother do something you're not sure about?"
Liu Ying was startled.
"Brother, you..."
Liu Zhi'an slowly stood up, gently raised his hand and patted Liu Ying's shoulder.
"Don't worry, this little brat Li Yunlong doesn't dare to touch me yet."
"Don't worry, whether Zhi'er is at home or not, as long as I, Liu Zhi'an, am here in the Liu family, the sky will not fall."
"As you said, if unfortunately the capital is captured, no matter who of them is the emperor, they will not dare to touch me."
"Otherwise, they will see millions of people in half the country south of the Yangtze River rise up."
Liu Ying'e frowned and looked at Liu Zhi'an in shock: "Brother, aren't you?"
"You guessed it right. Now the Liu family and all the merchants that depend on the Liu family have received a letter."
"With this order from me, all the food south of the Yangtze River will be burned."
"Even if you hold a gold brick in your hand, you can't even buy a stone of food."
"The people have no food, so you don't understand what will happen."
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.
"Little sister, I understand. Little sister is going back first."
"What's the rush? Your sister-in-law made some pastries by herself. Try them before you go."
"Well, I'm going to find my sister-in-law."
"Go!"
After Liu Ying left, Liu Zhi'an tasted the tea again, glancing at the third princess' courtyard from time to time, smiling and shaking his head.
I don't know when Liu Yuan quietly walked up behind Liu Zhi'an and bowed.
"Master, in the house in the west of the city that you asked me to buy, according to your instructions, a secret road several miles long has been dug directly into the mountain forest behind the Miao Village outside the city!"
"In case of an accident, you can evacuate the capital at any time."
"knew!"
"As for money, it can't communicate with gods but it can do things that even gods can't do. Liu Yuan, are you right in saying this?"
Liu Yuan was startled, lowered his head and thought for a moment and nodded.
"The old slave believes that money can communicate with gods."
Liu Zhi'an put down his teacup and walked slowly toward the inner courtyard.
"If you want to know the gods, you can use the gods. Anyway, I don't believe in others. I will only believe in one word in my life."
"money!"
Rumble.........
Suddenly, he remembered the sound of war drums outside the city. Liu Zhi'an glanced at it and sighed.
"Li Zheng, you taught me a good son!"
