Yupan City originally has a moat. Because it is adjacent to Wangjiang River, the waterway is naturally developed. Although the river is frozen right now, the Chu people still excavated trenches outside the city. The arrangement of a series of obstacles and traps was naturally early. The ground just kept up.

Compared with the savages, the Chu people's experience in the city defense war is indeed at the level of a master.

In addition, Qu Tiannan, the Zhu Kingdom of Chu State, was sitting in Yupan City. His army was rigorous and meticulous. Therefore, at this time, Yupan City, from top to bottom, can be said to be "armed" to the teeth.

On the surface of Wangjiang River, no more fortifications, no more security, just like this, let you Yan people come over and let you attack.

It is precisely because of the existence and containment of Yupan City that the Yan Army’s offensive is greatly restricted. The Chu people are the main guard, watching the stronghold, and the savages waiting for the opportunity to move. There is such a tacit understanding.

"Snee!"

The boy stood on the wall and sneezed extremely loudly.

The sword maker stood by, shook his head, and said:

"It's freezing cold, what do you come here to see."

"Come and take a look, it's best to get a little typhoid fever, and it's better to have a business in front of the fourth brother after you go back."

"The entire Kingdom of Chu knows that the relationship between the Four Highnesses and the Eighth Highnesses is the best, and now it seems that there is still a bit of a share in the end."

"Those are almost picked up, the boss is still stubbornly resisting, but it is the grasshopper after autumn. It won’t be long before the fourth elder brother can enter Yingdu after the beginning of spring, and I will see the fourth elder brother in the future. , You have to kneel and kowtow;

There are some things that the fourth brother doesn't care about, but that's his business. As the younger brother, we are also ministers, so we have to keep our duty.

Junjunchenchen, isn't that the truth? "

"Uninteresting."

"That is, when the fourth brother brought me, who was still very young, to your swordsmithing workshop to find you, it was only interesting, right?"

"His Royal Highness is a sword lover."

"what about me?"

"You, that's it."

"I'm still young."

"When you are three years old, you look older, and when you are seven years old, you look older."

"Your mouth is the same as the sword you made."

"Ha ha."

"The savage is in the east, it seems to be moving."

"It's not an action, but the news is blocked. Even my messenger from the State of Chu cannot pass."

"Did something happen?"

"There must be something wrong."

"Before, the Situ Yi brothers were destroyed by a deep Yan army alone in Fengxin City. Both brothers were drowned in dung and dried on the wall. It is estimated that the lone army made any other actions. ?"

"It should be that Qu Tiannan has already sent a separate army to the east to inquire about the news. Since the savages have blocked the news, then obviously they don't want us to know. The more so, the more we must know."

"It's the reason."

"However, no matter what happens, our Great Chu will just defend this Yupan City. We will keep it until the beginning of spring, and the Four Highnesses will clear the country ascended to the throne. This Yupan City can be maintained or withdrawn freely."

In the beginning of spring, when the river surface thaws, Da Chu navy can drive into Wangjiang again, and the initiative will once again be in the hands of Chu people.

The State of Chu needs a quiet external environment to clean up the chaos in its own country. The fifty thousand Qingluan army nailed to Yupan City is actually to block the threat from the savages here.

Otherwise, if the Yan people are allowed to expel the savages and annex the entire Qianguo, then the Yan people’s iron cavalry will directly threaten the Chu country. If it is the Chu country, it will be fine. The problem is that the Chu country died because of the death of the first emperor, although there is none in the country. There was a big mess, but after all, it failed to complete the complete integration.

The purpose of holding Yupan City was actually to open up a buffer zone for Chu State.

The boy took out a veil from his sleeve, wiped his nose, and said:

"You said, the Nanhou from Yan, what are you doing these days?"

"In testing, it's like casting a sword, you have to adjust the fire first."

"It's a mystery."

The sword maker said: "The layman is watching the excitement."

"Hey, I said, you just don't look down on me like that?"

"That's it."

"Yes, let's not talk nonsense with you, the food in our city is not much."

Transporting grain from the territory of Chu State to Yupan City, the long-distance journey was too lossy, and the other was because the northern waterways were basically frozen and Chu people’s ships could not be sailed out, and the transportation efficiency had to be greatly reduced.

Originally, when the Chu Army drove over, he thought the same as General Zheng, so he would feed the enemy.

What kind of food to bring, just eat the local food.

Unlike the Yan people, the Emperor Yan wanted to completely annex the land of the Three Jins and incorporate the Three Jins into the territory of Dayan to govern, but the Chu people obviously have no plans for this for the time being, or in other words, they have not done well in the whole country. Mobilize preparations for a big fight with Yan Guo.

So, naturally, how high the cost-effectiveness is, first use one hand to keep the Yan from far away, and you must first settle the inside.

However, the Chu people underestimated the ability of the savages to make trouble in the place. The eastern half of the country was supposed to be the richest place in the area notified by the Situ family. As a result, they were looted and killed by the savages.

Moreover, a continuous war has made it impossible to talk about spring plowing and autumn harvest in the local area. In this era, if one year's harvest is gone, it will inevitably lead to famine.

Because of this, after the Chu people came, they found that this grain was not as easy to search for as expected.

Originally, the little court of Situ Yi was squeezed out of Yupan City by the Chu people and fell into Fengxin City at the back. He had the task of searching for food and grass for the Chu army.

After all, the Jin people know the Jin people best, and they should be more comfortable when searching for grain, and Fengxin City has previously stored a lot of grain and grass that will be transported to Yupan City in the deep winter.

But before it was shipped, it was broken by Sheng Le's army led by General Zheng. General Zheng who could take away was taken away. A large amount of grain and grass that could not be taken away were not distributed to the local refugees, but they chose to burn directly. .

Moreover, Sheng Lejun had also conducted raids in the area centered on Fengxin City. Several large families and Dawu Fort that were originally attached to Situ Yi and did not suffer from the savage turmoil were also breached, and their grains were directly burned.

This caused a huge shortage of food for the Chu people. 50,000 troops were stationed in the city, and the daily consumption of horses and horses was a huge consumption. You must know that at the beginning, General Zheng raised 15 thousand in Shengle City. Bing, almost broke him.

What's more, there was no production activity at all in Yupan City at this time. The aborigines were either turned into fortifications by the Chu people or expelled. This bustling and bustling city in the past is full of despair at this time. .

"The savages just sent a batch this morning, which can alleviate the urgent need."

When the young Lang heard this, he smiled and said:

"It seems that the savage king is also a confidant, for fear that we are short of food and just left them and ran away."

"Yes." The sword maker replied, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry. The food supply has been cut in half these days, and I am embarrassed to go begging for food with Qu Tiannan."

"You should eat well, don't be polite, you should take it too, don't be polite."

"Oh?"

"Do you need to be here to share the joys and sorrows of the Qingluan Army generals?"

"Hehe, you laughed. Brother Si knows me best. I can't bear much hardship and grievance. Um, it smells so delicious, meaty, is the savage sending the mutton?"

"right."

The young man and the sword maker went down the tower together, and the two came to their small residence, which was their residence in the city.

The identities of the two are not ordinary, they seem to be idle clouds and wild cranes, but in fact they are more like the supervising army, and naturally they have a respect for them.

However, when they came back, they found that the Qingluan army coach Qu Tiannan was already sitting inside.

Chu people still retain the tradition of sitting on the ground. At this time, food is being cooked in the big pot in the middle, and the meat is fragrant.

Qu Tiannan sat in the first seat.

"I have seen Zhu Guo."

"I have seen Zhu Guo."

Qu Tiannan didn't seem to have any interest in speaking, but just waved his hand.

Young Lang Weiwei was a little surprised. Such a cold reception, he really rarely encountered it. However, he only thought that the Yan army on the other side had been changing defenses for a while, and there was a hidden danger of food shortage in the city, so this The coach is a little depressed.

The sword maker silently sat in the lower head position on the left, and after sitting down, he flicked his long hair behind him.

Young Lang sat on the right side, staring at the cauldron in the middle.

People who are accustomed to eating fine clothes and jade food, once they are really hungry for a while, it is the same to eat everything. At this time, he is already a little impatient.

Qu Tiannan waved to a soldier behind him to go down and spread the broth among the others.

He looked at the sword maker himself,

Road:

"Sir, it's not very profitable in a certain mind today."

Hearing the words, the sword maker nodded,

Road:

"Everything is for the country of Chu."

Talking over there,

Young Lang had already taken the big bowl in front of him, without using chopsticks, he simply grabbed the meat with his hands and ate it.

Qu Tiannan said again:

"If people are in the company of beasts, are they still human?"

"Since ancient times, are there fewer animals domesticated by humans?"

"Li, it's such a reason."

"The truth that makes one feel comfortable is the real truth."

"Some has been taught."

"Zhu Guoyan is heavy."

The young man wiped his greasy mouth and smiled:

"I said, sir, you still have time to talk about food, but it really doesn't smell of fireworks."

Qu Tiannan kept silent~lightnovelpub.net~ His identity, even the Fourth His Royal Highness, who is about to enthroned, was sufficiently courteous, and he didn't need to be squeezed in front of this young prince Lang.

The sword maker held up his chopsticks and pointed at the young man, and said:

"I don't know, who only knows Fengyue but not suffering."

"Huh? Me? You are joking, but I have had a hard time."

"Since you are living a hard life, how can you not know what kind of meat you just ate?"

Young Lang was stunned.

Bow your head,

Looking at the half of meat left in his bowl.

The sword maker continued to ask:

"Lamb, is it delicious?"

"vomit………………"
