That night, Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei, and Cui Hongyu had another delicious hot pot meal. I am planning to have another sonorous threesome.
Just then, someone gently knocked on the courtyard door, and Liu Ziming's voice came, "Miss, there is something urgent."
Liu Rumei hurriedly got up and came to the yard, then asked, "Ziming, why are you here so late?"
"Miss, there is an urgent report from the capital."
As soon as he heard the news from the capital, Chen Xiaobei was a little unhappy and had already advised Liu Rumei not to worry about these things anymore.
But it was obvious that Liu Rumei had already forgotten his advice. As soon as he heard that there was something going on in the capital, he immediately asked eagerly, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
"Miss, the eldest son has just received news that His Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned and is unconscious. The Emperor has already moved to the Phoenix Mountain Palace a hundred miles away. The situation in the capital is now critical."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Rumei's mind buzzed.
Although he had objections to the Xiao family and his son, when he heard that Wannian City was in danger, the first thing he thought of was his father and his eldest brother, who were both in the capital!
Liu Rumei quickly stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, and then asked eagerly, "What about my father? How are my brother and the two of them, right? Liu Ce and Liu Tie should be here too, right?"
Liu Ziming clasped his fists and said, "The letter said that Zhou Quan and Du Bai went to ask the master to come out, but the master did not agree. Later, the two of them found the eldest son again, and only then did they know that the emperor had already quietly run to the palace."
After hearing these words, Liu Rumei was noncommittal, turned around and left, calling Liu Ziming into the house. After all, it was freezing outside but the house was warm.
Liu Ziming handed over the letter, and Liu Rumei read it from beginning to end. It detailed the entire process of the attack last night, the army's retreat into the city, and Xiao Jingyun's poisoning. After reading this, Liu Rumei took the teacups, cups and other items nearby and quickly laid out the defense plan of Wannian City.
After setting it up, he took another cup lid, put it aside, pointed at the lid and said: "This is Phoenix Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital. It would be better if the big country didn't notice. If someone is here and the army covers them up, then the Emperor can still be safe."
Liu Ziming instantly understood what Liu Rumei meant. He bowed and said, "Then I will send a message to the eldest son and ask him to tell the emperor to find another place."
Liu Rumei waved her hand, "It's not urgent. I think that in the short term, the energy of the Great Earth Kingdom will still be in Wannian City. As long as the emperor does things more safely, he will not be discovered."
Liu Ziming bowed again, "Miss, shall we set off immediately to rescue Wannian City? I'm afraid it will be too late..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiaobei stood up immediately and interrupted him, "No, no, no, Rumei, let's go to Wannian City. It will take us three days and three nights to run fast, and now it's snowing heavily. It won't take more than four or five days, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there. Besides, there are only a few of us, so what's the use of going there? I'm afraid we won't even be able to enter Wannian City."
After hearing these words, Liu Rumei frowned, and then she sighed, "Brother Xiaobei is right, the 400,000 troops of the Great Earth Kingdom have surrounded Wannian City. Even if we pass, it will be difficult to rush into the city. And what if a few of us enter the city?"
Everyone present was silent. Yes, there are only a few people. For an army of 400,000, that is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. Unless you are some kind of heavenly soldier and general who can fight one against ten thousand, otherwise it won’t be a big deal if you can’t follow them. The difference.
Liu Rumei turned her face, looked at Chen Xiaobei and said solemnly, "If there were only the Xiao family and his son in the city, I wouldn't go. But now there are still my father and my brother in the city. If it's really ten thousand years, If the city is captured, my father may be in danger."
Chen Xiaobei believed Liu Rumei's words. When Liu Xiangnan was young, he often fought wars with neighboring countries, and the Great Earth Kingdom also suffered losses. Therefore, once the Great Earth Kingdom really breaks through Wannian City, there will still be opportunities for success. Is he good?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei couldn't sit still. After all, this was his father-in-law.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt that he seemed to be too heartless by persuading Liu Rumei not to go to Wannian City.
How can you stop your daughter from saving her father? Logically speaking, your son-in-law should also save your father-in-law.
At this time, Liu Ziming next to him spoke, "Miss, there are still a thousand garrison troops in Qingniu County. As far as I know, on Centipede Ridge, when Her Royal Highness the Princess left, Guo Chuan also left several hundred people behind. Let's organize these stand up."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei almost laughed out loud.
There is an army of 400,000 people. Do you dare to support it if you organize more than 1,000 people? What's the use? The difference in strength between the two sides is nearly 200,000.
So what's the use of your more than a thousand people? But if you don't let him go, you will look too callous.
Chen Xiaobei didn't speak, but Liu Rumei next to him spoke first, "It's not right, it's not right, with this small force, it will be difficult for us to rush into the city after we arrive. If we stay outside the city, a small army will be easily surrounded and annihilated by the opponent." .”
"Well, then, miss, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in Jizhou, we will take them all with us."
Liu Rumei shook her head again, "No, no, if all Jizhou is taken away, if the Great Earth Kingdom takes advantage of the situation, then we will be even more passive."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Chen Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Rumei, since you are worried about them taking advantage of the opportunity, why don't we take advantage of it."
Liu Rumei was stunned at what he said. She looked at Chen Xiaobei stupidly, "Brother Xiaobei, what do you mean?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Qingguang City, the capital of the Great Earth Kingdom, is less than a thousand miles away from Jizhou. If we march urgently day and night, we will arrive in a few days."
This sentence frightened everyone, and Liu Ziming stared at Chen Xiaobei with wide eyes in disbelief, "Brother Xiaobei, are you okay? We are going to attack the capital of the Great Earth Kingdom with tens of thousands of people!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "What are you afraid of? If you want the Great Earth Kingdom to mobilize four to five million people to go to Wannian City, there must be a lot of emptiness in the country. As long as we create enough momentum to attack their capital, he Naturally, I feel nervous.”
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei thought a little.
"Brother Xiaobei, you are right, but it would be too risky to attack Qingguang City, the capital of the Great Earth Kingdom, with just ten thousand people. I don't think so. I immediately wrote back to my brother and asked him to write to the emperor to mobilize Jizhou. The troops in Yunzhou and Shouzhou should be able to gather at least 50,000 troops, and the three places are only three to four hundred miles apart, so they can reach the border at the same time."
"Our 50,000 people are rushing towards Qingguang City. The Great Earth Kingdom will definitely be in panic, and then the siege of Ten Thousand Years City can be solved."
