Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyun immediately ordered the city gates to be opened, allowing Prince Liu's soldiers to enter the city to rest, and he quickly returned to his palace. He was still supervising the country by himself. There were some things that he did not need to discuss with his father, he would do it himself. You can start directly.
After the civil and military officials arrived, Xiao Jingyun first asked Tian Wenhao, "Tian Aiqing, how are the supplies needed by the army prepared? We must at least prepare the supplies needed by our 200,000 troops for March."
Tian Wenhao bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that the supplies stored in Jizhou are being sent continuously. All the supplies will arrive at Wannian City in three to five days at most."
Xiao Jingyun's face was solemn and he shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for three to five days. If Zhu Meng takes a detour and besiege Wannian City, we can arrive in two days at most."
Tian Wenhao burst into tears when he heard this, "Your Highness, it is not a rush march to transport supplies. This thing cannot be fast. It takes three days to travel day and night."
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao nodded. He did not mean to blame Tian Wenhao. He also knew that Tian Wenhao had really tried his best.
Therefore, Jamel Xiao had to find a way to buy Tian Wenhao a day.
He looked down at the map for a long time and finally saw the mystery. If the Great Earth Kingdom bypasses the cross slope, it must go from the south, turn around a few mountains, and then cross the Daqing River before it can turn to the right road. Therefore, as long as it controls the Daqing River, it can take the initiative.
The only thing he hopes now is that the ice on the Daqing River will not be too thick in the cold winter. If the ice on the river is not suitable for pedestrians, the other party will have to delay crossing the river. As long as he can buy a day or two, Tian Wenhao will enough.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyun took out his token and looked at the general Zhao Chun next to him.
"Zhao Chun listen."
Zhao Chun immediately stepped out of the queue, knelt down and said, "Please give me your orders, Your Highness."
"I order you to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to the Daqing River. Set up defenses along the line and be sure to stop the army of the Great Earth Kingdom for two days to buy time for Tian Wenhao to transport the baggage."
Zhao Chun bowed, stepped forward to take the token, and turned around to leave.
Then Xiao Jingyun looked at the other person next to him, "Xue Feng, how is the progress of the various reinforcements now?"
"Your Majesty, because it is the middle of winter, the march is slow now, and the fastest reinforcements will take at least a month to arrive."
Xiao Jingyun was not surprised by this answer. He nodded slightly, "We were unprepared in the early stage and the reinforcements were suddenly sent out. It is understandable that they came slowly, so we have to hold on for a month no matter what, until the reinforcements arrive. .”
Xue Feng bowed and did not dare to say anything.
Xiao Jingyun looked around at everyone present, and his tone became serious, "Everyone, the top priority is that we must transport as much supplies and supplies to the city as possible before the Big Head Kingdom arrives."
"Although the nearest reinforcements will arrive in a month, the supplies we have prepared will take at least three months."
Everyone took the order and went out to do their work. Xiao Jingyun changed his clothes and went to see his father.
Emperor Xiao An is strolling in the courtyard. He has been much more leisurely since he handed over state affairs to his son.
Seeing Xiao Jingyun coming, Xiao An waved his hand, and the surrounding eunuchs and maids immediately bowed and left, leaving only Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Jingyun came forward to greet his father. Xiao An smiled and waved, pointing to the seat next to him.
"Sit down, Xiao Shunzi is going to get a cup of tea."
Xiao Shunzi also turned around and left, leaving only the father and son at the scene.
Xiao An looked at Xiao Jamgyun, and his expression became a little serious, "Looking at your frown, I guess the battle ahead is not satisfactory!"
"Reporting to my father, Zhu Meng is a big trouble to us. I left people to confront him at Cross Slope, but he led people around the Daqing River."
"Judging from the distance, in a few days, I'm afraid the soldiers and horses of the Great Earth Kingdom will be approaching the city."
Listening to Xiao Jingyun's words, Xiao An nodded slightly, "Didn't you say last time that after you finish practicing the Four Spirits Bagua Array, there's no problem in maintaining it for a few months?"
"Father, what I want to say is that it is one thing to be able to hold on, but we have to find other ways."
After listening to Xiao Jingyun's words, Xiao An understood. They said that the cunning rabbit has three burrows. This was to remind him that he could not just hope to defend Wannian City, a crooked tree, but had to have other options.
Thinking of this, Xiao An nodded slightly.
"You mean you have to find another place to live?"
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Father, although you are now a son-in-law supervising the country, you are the emperor after all, and you are the people of Dacang Kingdom."
After listening to Xiao Jingyun's words, Xiao An was silent. His son's words had been very straightforward, that is, Xiao Jingyun wanted to ensure the absolute safety of himself as the emperor, but he was already in his twilight years.
"My son, I'm already old. There are some things that I can't do even if I'm asked to do them. I don't think it's better than this. Now leave the city defense command to me, and you can lead the people to evacuate."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyun waved his hands repeatedly, "Father, you are the emperor, and I am just your prince. Besides, my little sister will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao An frowned, "Why, Jingfeng has to come back too!"
Xiao Jingyun clasped his fists and said, "Father, please forgive me for sending a message on your behalf. Jingfeng will probably arrive today!"
Xiao An put his hands behind his back and walked around the room several times.
"Even Jingfeng has come back. If I leave Wannian City by myself, I'm afraid the people will laugh out loud."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Xiao Jingyun had no choice but to bow and retreat.
Since his father doesn't want to leave, Jamel Xiao has done his best, and the next thing is beyond his control.
While Wannian City was busy in full swing, Chen Xiaobei finally started his day's work in Hetou Village.
He was so tired last night that Cui Hongyu brought him breakfast in the room.
When Cui Hongyu saw Chen Xiaobei like this, of course he looked distressed and stepped forward to help him get dressed, while asking softly, "Brother Xiaobei, please don't strain yourself like this in the future."
Chen Xiaobei chuckled and looked at Cui Hongyu. He was about to speak, but Cui Hongyu had a serious look on his face, without the slightest hint of a smile.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized that Cui Hongyu was a doctor.
Now it's a conversation between doctor and patient.
He also hurriedly put away the smile on his face, "Okay, I understand, don't worry, it won't happen again."
After listening to his words, Cui Hongyu nodded with satisfaction, "The food is on the table outside. You can go and eat it after you wash up. I'll go and get busy first."
After saying that, she turned and left. Watching Cui Hongyu leave, Chen Xiaobei shook his head helplessly. From Cui Hongyu's words just now, he could hear a bit of jealousy.
