v8 Chapter 21: evacuate people

"General! Do you want to light a beacon fire to inform Chengzhou?!" Shoubing said in a panic. The beacon fires all over the mountain indicated that an extremely urgent incident had occurred in Liangzhou, but the distance was so far away that he didn't know what happened. People are even more flustered.

Qian Zheng was not in a hurry, and chuckled like an old man: "What are you panicking about? Did you see someone coming to report the military situation? Isn't Liangzhou guarded by the Yuchi Army? I think we must have confidence in the Yuchi Army!" Qian Zheng Said with a smile.

The reason why he didn't panic was not because he had confidence in Yuchifeng, but when Yuchifeng took office in Liangzhou, someone sent him a superstition, asking him to "take care" of Yuchifeng.

This care is not about taking good care of him, but about finding a chance to give Yuchifeng a backseat. There are often wars in sensitive border areas. For example, when wars occur, the speed of food and grass, the speed of reinforcements, and the speed of reporting are slowed down.

This "dragging" is particular. If the delay is less, it will not do much harm to Yu Chifeng. After a long delay, Liangzhou was breached, and he, Songcheng, would also be finished!

So Liangzhou had just lit the beacon fire, and Qian Zheng decided to delay it for a while, at least until someone came to report the military situation. What if it's the beacon fire of some silly boy in Liangzhou? Or where there is a wildfire. If there is a mountain fire in Liangzhou, it will also light a beacon to let everyone go down the mountain to evacuate quickly.

While Qian Zheng was thinking, he picked up the binoculars again. It was more like admiring the scenery. Looking at the curling green smoke was really interesting.

"Does it look good?!" Suddenly, a sneer sound came from beside him.

Qian Zheng shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay."

"I chopped off your head and hung it on the city gate. I also think this decoration is good, and it should be pretty." The people around him joked.

What? Cut off his head? ! Qian Zheng immediately put down the binoculars and turned to stare at the strange man who suddenly appeared beside him: "Who are you! How dare you cut off my head!"

Suddenly, the jade tree was facing the wind beside him, and the man in military armor took out a golden dragon coil: "Third Prince Duanmu Jinhong! Can you cut off your head!"

Qian Zheng's face turned pale, his legs became weak, and he knelt in front of the third prince, with the corners of his mouth crooked: "Third, third prince..."

Duanmu Qingchen looked down at Qian Zheng coldly. In this world, this is the kind of person who ruined a big deal!

When Yao Guang opened the door for everyone, he opened the door of Chengzhou first, because Chengzhou has garrisons, and if they want to transfer troops, they must be transferred from Chengzhou. Therefore, we must first let old general Yuchi and the others go to Chengzhou to transfer troops and make a good deployment.

Duanmu Qingchen and Duanmu Jinhong went to Songcheng, so that they could meet people from Liangzhou and Chengzhou in Songcheng.

When I arrived in Songcheng, I found that everything was peaceful, and the people were still living as usual, as if they didn't know what happened in Liangzhou. If she hadn't seen the situation in Liangzhou in the secret realm, Yuchi Yanxia would have thought that Yao Guang was exaggerating, and there was no gluttonous army at all.

It wasn't until Orion, who came back in the evening, said that he saw Liangzhou on the top of the mountain as if a beacon had been lit, that the people became a little nervous, and climbed to high places one after another, looking into the distance.

At that time, in fact, beacon fires had already been lit in all the villages, including those near Songcheng.

Duanmu Jinhong was a little suspicious when he realized that the guard of Songcheng hadn't informed the people to leave or lit the beacon fire. The impatient Yuchi Yanxia also felt that there was something strange about it. The one in Liangzhou is her own brother! The flames of war in Liangzhou were raging, so of course she was very worried.

Duanmu Qingchen climbed up to the top of the city, holding the golden dragon card in his hand, so no one dared to stop him, so he went up to the city tower smoothly, and just in time heard Qian Zheng's words.

Without Yuchi Yanxia by his side, Duanmu Qingchen's true nature was revealed. His dandyism coupled with Duanmu Jinhong's stern face turned into evil.

"Hmph! Light the beacon to notify Chengzhou! And evacuate all the people in Songcheng!" Duanmu Qingchen sternly shouted, and the soldiers immediately became nervous.

"Yes!" All the soldiers didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly lit the beacon to inform the common people to leave the city as soon as possible!

Common people's sense of smell is often sharper than that of officers and soldiers, which seems to come from their distrust of their city guard officials. So before the soldiers notified them, they had already packed their bags in private, took the old cow with them, and started to leave the city in twos and threes.

As soon as the beacon fire was lit here, Yuchi Yanxia went up to the tower, took the binoculars from Duanmu Qingchen, and looked worriedly at the distant mountains.

"No! I'm going to take a look!" Yuchi Yanxia couldn't wait any longer when she saw the beacon fire all over the mountain.

Duanmu Qingchen was startled, but Duanmu Jinhong had already stopped Yuchi Yanxia: "Mother, calm down, we don't fully understand the situation in Liangzhou. At this time, Erchen thinks that we should listen to that girl Lian." , Prepare your defenses in Songcheng."

Duanmu Qingchen looked at Duanmu Jinhong, his calmness was exactly what he didn't have. If it was him, he might immediately say, "Okay, I'll go too!" Because he likes adventure, and likes to be thrilled and excited.

But in the present occasion, this is absolutely unacceptable, because if he runs recklessly like this, it is very likely that he will become food in the mouth of Taotie.

Duanmu Jinhong's words made Yuchi Yanxia calm down. Looking back on what she saw before, she also felt that she was controlled by her emotions just now and lost her usual calmness. Fortunately, the prince reminded her. This reminder also gave her a sense of pride that she had never felt before. She saw her son's calmness and maturity. He was indeed no longer the impulsive and silly son he used to be.

The beacon is lit, and the battle begins. Far away in Chengzhou, General Yuchi, who had already arrived, saw it and immediately ordered Chengzhou to evacuate the people.

But Chengzhou is different from Songcheng, because Chengzhou is a prosperous state city, and because it is close to the border, there are merchants from all over the place.

It was suddenly said that they would be evacuated. Many wealthy and powerful people living in Chengzhou would not be willing. Some of them even insulted the officers and soldiers who came to evacuate, accusing them of being incompetent and unable to defend the city, but making the people suffer. The difficulty of evacuating from Chengzhou was far more difficult than those ordinary people in Songcheng, and also beyond the expectations of old General Yuchi.

Indeed, because of Yuchi's army, the world has been peaceful in the Qian Dynasty for more than ten years, and no foreign country dared to invade. Even if foreign enemies occasionally attacked the border, they were blocked by Yuchi's army, preventing them from stepping into the land of the Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, let alone Chengzhou, even if Songcheng has never been conquered by foreign enemies, for the residents of Chengzhou, Chengzhou is already a very safe city in their hearts. If there are enemies, they should be blocked in the distant Liangzhou outside.

Until the evening, only ordinary people left the city in an orderly manner under the supervision of officers and soldiers, and went to the next town to seek refuge. Old General Yuchi has sent someone to use a fast horse to notify the next town to accept the evacuated people.
