Going to Peking?
You definitely can’t go!
Su Yang decisively rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.
"Brother, I can't leave Xishan, you take Xiaowan to Peiping!"
Hearing this, Big Fatty suddenly became anxious.
"Su Yang, don't worry, it's not just you, everyone in Xishan must evacuate!"
"With the current military strength in Peiping, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 people. It will be difficult to defend Peiping against the imperial army of 500,000 troops!"
"So it is even more impossible to divide the troops to garrison Xishan. All personnel in Xishan must be evacuated. This is for your sake!"
Su Yang frowned immediately when he heard this.
Big Fatty was telling the truth. If he didn't go to Peiping, Xishan would probably fall.
After all, the imperial court has an army of 500,000 in front of him. Prince Yan has decisively given up on Baoding and Yongping Prefectures. Why would he care about Xishan?
As long as the city of Beiping is successfully defended and King Zhu Di of Yan leads his army to return for reinforcements, then the mission of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi will be successfully completed!
However, Su Yang has a reason not to leave now!
"Brother, potato breeding has entered a critical stage. It has just been planted. If we all withdraw now, all the previous efforts will be in vain!"
"In addition, there are so many ordinary people in Xishan, and there are so many workers in Xishan Coal Industry. If we evacuate directly, what will happen to these ordinary workers?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this, and his brows were knitted together.
Just as Su Yang thought, he just wanted to defend Beiping and the foundation of Prince Yan's Mansion.
He can give up anywhere else, even this Xishan Mountain!
Because Peiping is so important, it is the foundation of the Yan Army. Most of the families of the Yan Army's officers and soldiers are also in Beiping City.
If the city of Beiping is lost, the Yan army will be reduced to a lost dog, and there will no longer be any possibility of rising up and competing for hegemony.
In other words, Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to shrink his troops and defend Peiping!
But once they withdraw their troops, the people and workers of Xishan will not be able to take them with them.
After all, Beiping has limited food and grass, and there are tens of thousands of civilian workers in Xishan. Taking them with them to Beiping will not only increase the defensive pressure, but also become a hidden danger.
In addition, the potato issue mentioned by Su Yang is also an outright problem.
"But brother-in-law, if the imperial army comes to Xishan, everything will be over!"
"Be it the common people, the workers, or even the potatoes, we can give up now, but you, Su Yang, will never allow any loss. This is the death order given by His Highness King Yan before he left!"
Su Yang's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't ask further questions.
"Don't worry, brother. Xishan Coal Industry is just a group of workers. The imperial army may not necessarily set its sights on Xishan."
"In addition, Li Jinglong is a man of great ambition and talent. He will definitely conquer Beiping City at all costs, so Xishan is actually safer than Beiping City."
"You take Xiaowan down the mountain quickly, and I'll stay at Xishan to stabilize people's hearts. That's it!"
Big Fatty took a deep look at Su Yang, and finally could only sigh.
"Su Yang, you have to know that if something happens, I can't save you!"
"Hahaha... don't worry, it's no big deal, it doesn't have to be like a separation between life and death!"
Su Yang smiled and cursed angrily, looking confident.
Of course he was confident. After all, history said that Li Jinglong besieged Beiping City for several months without success. In the end, King Zhu Di of Yan led an army to return for reinforcements, but he suffered a huge defeat!
With history before his eyes, Su Yang still has a lot of confidence in Prince Yan.
When Zhu Wanqiu heard that she was going to separate from Su Yang, she immediately burst into tears and refused to leave no matter what.
Su Yang held his daughter-in-law to comfort her for a long time, and finally managed to comfort her.
"Xiao Wan, follow big brother to Beiping City. When something happens here, Mr. Xiang will come find you!"
"Then you must come, and you must not lie to me!" Zhu Wanqiu replied with tears in her eyes.
After all, she is the daughter of King Zhu Di of Yan, so Zhu Wanqiu has always known how to advance and retreat.
If she stays in Xishan, it will bring danger to Xishan.
"Ms. sir, promise me that you will come to Peiping to pick me up!"
"Okay, my husband promises you!"
Su Yang hugged his little wife and kissed her hard, making the little girl blush with embarrassment.
"Okay, brother, let's take Xiaowan down the mountain!"
"By the way, keep this booklet and go back and study it carefully."
Su Yang handed him a booklet.
Zhu Gaochi's expression moved and he carefully put the booklet into his arms.
"I leave General Xu Xiang to you, in addition to five thousand garrison troops, and Chu Xiong's five hundred forbidden troops!"
"Su Yang, if nothing can be done in the end, even if you give up everything in Xishan, you must survive!"
After Big Fatty said this, he turned around and left resolutely.
He is the Prince of Yan, and now he has a heavy responsibility, so he cannot act rashly.
Zhu Gaochi also knew in his heart that it was the best choice to let Su Yang, the banished immortal, stay in Xishan and stabilize the people of Xishan.
But no one can guarantee that once the imperial army comes, they will attack Xishan. Xishan will be really dangerous at that time!
However, Zhu Gaochi must shoulder the responsibility of Prince Yan, so even if he knew that Su Yang might be in danger if he arranged this, he still could only do this!
If Beiping cannot be defended, everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion will be in a dilemma of life and death!
Su Yang looked at Zhu Gaochi's leaving figure and sighed heavily in his heart.
After all, he was still involved in this battle of peace!
Chu Xiong, Xu Xiang, Jia Yi, and Ma Sanbao stood behind Su Yang with solemn expressions.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Ma Sanbao asked in a deep voice, his brows full of sorrow.
They all know what they will face next, and it may be tens of thousands of troops killed by the imperial court in anger!
However, they also heard the conversation between Su Yang and the Crown Prince just now.
It is not the habit of the Yan army to abandon the people of Xishan, abandon the artifact Potato, and evacuate Xishan directly.
Even if they die, they will fight until the last moment!
Defending the homeland is nothing more than this!
Su Yang said with a smile: "Don't panic, it's not a big problem. Li Jinglong is in the spring breeze and may not pay attention to our little Xishan."
"However, we still need to be prepared for battle. At least we cannot allow the Southern Army to easily invade Xishan!"
The four of them nodded upon hearing this and felt a little calmer.
"General Xu Xiang, send men to station at the foot of the mountain, close all the workshops, and move all the workers to the mountain!"
"The last general takes command!"
Xu Xiang immediately accepted the order and left without any objection to Su Yang's arrangement.
Then Su Yang looked at the leader of the secret guard, the silent man named "Jiayi".
"Brother Jiayi, send your secret guards to spy on the enemy. Once you find the enemy, come back and report it quickly. Don't get entangled with them and cause unnecessary casualties!"
Jiayi nodded, turned around and left slightly excitedly.
The most important duty of the secret guards, apart from protecting the senior officials of Prince Yan's palace, is to spy on the enemy.
Compared to the former, Jia Yi prefers the latter. After all, a real man should lick blood on the sword!
Su Yang looked at Chu Xiong, who had a hopeful look on his face.
"Chu Xiong, do you still remember what I told you back then?"
"Those potatoes are more important than anyone else at any time!"
"So the mission of the five hundred of you is to protect the potato seedlings at all costs. Even if the Confederate army comes to attack the mountain, you cannot take action. On the contrary, you must surrender immediately, and then inform them of the potato, the sacred weapon of the country!"
"Sir, this..." Chu Xiong was anxious. He didn't expect that Su Yang would give him such a task.
But Su Yang didn't give him a chance to argue, and directly ordered in a cold voice: "Remember your mission, don't act out of emotion!"
"Yes!" Chu Xiong had no choice but to bow and accept the order.
After explaining all this, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked towards Beiping, his eyes full of curiosity.
Li Jinglong, the first generation of the Ming God of War, I really want to see your grace with my own eyes!
