Chapter 181 181. Merchant
A few people in Xuzhou have some clues, but Liangzhou, thousands of miles away, is in danger.
On the impregnable city, General Xiao Ji stood facing the wind, feeling quite desolate.
The resolute face looked at the swarming Beidi army in the distance without any emotion.
"General, all the agencies have been arranged properly, and the food and grass in the city are guarded by trustworthy brothers. There is enough for everyone to eat for two months. The people in the city have also informed that they have stored a lot of food at home. They will definitely be able to survive until Reinforcements are coming.
The person who spoke was He Qiu, who had followed him for many years and was now his lieutenant general.
The wind and sand from the northwest had made his skin a little rough, and his face had many ridges. Thinking of how he was a peach-faced rich man before he came to Liangzhou with General Xiao Ji more than ten years ago, now he is afraid of returning to the capital. None of my old friends recognized him.
The reinforcements from Dongdu City are thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, at least one hundred thousand. After such a long journey, they may not arrive in less than two months. Although he said it for sure, he was worried in his heart.
Its just that since joining the military camp, he has long ignored life and death. He is only worried about his wife and children at home.
For their sake, the city must be firmly guarded. Otherwise, with the cruel temperament of the Beidi people, if the city is destroyed, the people of Liangzhou may be massacred!
"Thank you for your hard work. This battle will definitely be dangerous. I tell my brothers to stay alert. Reinforcements are thousands of miles away. In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."
Yes! General.
Otherwise, Im afraid that the Feng family would have been treated as a thorn in the flesh by the royal family before the reputation of a century-old family has spread. How would it still have the prestige it has today?
If the city of Liangzhou is destroyed, other merchants may still have a chance to survive, but the Feng family, which holds the iron ore, will have a headache. If the Beidi people are surrendered to preserve the clan, I am afraid that the infamy of future generations will make the Feng family unable to hold their head high. The eldest brother's family in the capital is afraid that they will also be implicated by Emperor Qi, but if they don't surrender, they will be on the road to annihilation.
How could he, the head of the family, make such a decision when there were still children at home who were waiting to be fed.
Hence, compared to others, he has no intention of joking at all.
The old man Hua next to him saw his thoughts and said comfortingly, "The Feng family sent tens of thousands of kerosene to the army. I heard from General Xiao Ji that the iron mines in the past also made four to five thousand pairs of armors. What can be done?" Weve all done it, and if it still doesnt work, then its fate and we cant force it.
Fengshan took a deep breath and said to Mr. Hua, "What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law has gone astray. Instead of sighing here, it is better to think about what else is wrong, and we can discuss it and solve it." One thing to do.
The rest of the family heads nodded. Their lifeblood was based on Liangzhou City. The city was at home, and the city was broken and the family was destroyed. Even the Tie family, who were usually searching for things, this time they took out a lot of cotton and sent it to the army. Twenty thousand men were subdued because they were afraid that the soldiers in the army would be frozen.
50,000 city defenders, plus 3,000 Liangzhou garrison troops, are now obeying General Xiao Ji's orders.
No one knows when the Beidi army will attack. They only know that it is always good to be more prepared.
When do you think the reinforcements from the capital will arrive? The usually cheerful head of the Zhu family became worried at this moment.
Everyone present, the Feng family has a closer connection with the capital, so everyone is looking at Fengshan.
In previous years, delivering New Years gifts to my eldest brothers family would take nearly two months if the horse-drawn carriage traveled quickly. If the army sets out, it will probably take even longer.
