Today's county town has long been under martial law, and there is a curfew at night, prohibiting people from going out at night. In addition, during the daytime, the four gates are also closed, and the city gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit.
This is the prelude to the coming storm, and the people in the entire Guangyin County can feel the pressure of gathering. Even the people in Guangyin County are not doing very well recently.
People living in the countryside outside the city can be self-sufficient because of their daily farming, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing. But people living in the city, even if they can work, even sell food, but because the city gates are closed, the price of goods starts to rise, and many people's lives are quite difficult.
This is the situation in Guangyin County.
But for Chen Can, he didn't care about these at all. What he considered was to defend Guangyin County and defeat the invading army. This is Chen Can's current goal.
During this period of time, Chen Can lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He can't sleep at night now.
Insomnia all night long.
After lying down, what I think about in my mind is how to resist the enemy's attack. As for other aspects, he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't worry about other things.
This day, in the morning.
Chen Can was in the palace, and when he was dealing with government affairs, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Jiang Shangshu is asking to see you."
"Xuan!"
Chen Can gave an order.
The servant went to deliver the order, and it didn't take long for Jiang He to enter the hall. There was a look of eagerness on Jiang He's face. He stood still, saluted Chen Can, and said, "Your Majesty, the latest news is that the army led by Du Qi is not far from our Guangyin County. At most one hour, Du Qi Soldiers will come to the city."
"finally come!"
A gleam flashed across Chen Can's eyes.
More fighting spirit.
In addition, he was also slightly relieved, because Du Qi came with an army, and he was finally able to face Du Qi. During this period of time, he has been unable to face Du Qi directly, so he often suffers from insomnia and finds it difficult to fall asleep.
When I really face it now, I will no longer have such worries and worries.
Chen Can asked: "Jiang Qing, where are the troops from the north and the south?"
Jiang He said: "According to the latest news, the southern army has always been on their way slowly and never marched quickly. I have also carefully considered this situation. I think the intention of the other party is actually They want to use Du Qi to weaken us, or even sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. After we and Du Qi have lost both sides, they will come to take advantage of it."
A smile curled up on the corner of Chen Can's mouth, and he said, "It's actually more beneficial for us to have such an arrangement in the Southern Kingdom. Under the current circumstances, we can calmly resist Du Qi's attack. As long as it is Let's weaken Du Qi's troops first, and wait until the southern army arrives, then we will face less pressure at the same time."
Jiang He said: "Your Majesty is wise, this minister also thinks so. If the two sides have a good understanding and attack at the same time, we will face huge pressure and it will be very difficult to resist. But now, Du Qi and Nan Guo have their own plans and interests. appeal, then we can defeat them one by one. Defeat Du Qi first, and then deal with the Southern Kingdom. In this way, the Fire Nation will be safe."
Chen Can nodded, and he felt a little relieved at this moment.
A little more relief in my heart.
Anyway, he has great hope to defend Guangyin County and stabilize Huo Nation.
Chen Can's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Qing, are the prices in the city and people's hearts still stable?"
Jiang He said: "Your Majesty, the price of food has risen slightly, but it is still under control. This matter, I am always paying attention to it, so that the situation will not get out of control. As for the public opinion, because there are too many rumors and too many rumors. Hidden piles, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that Nanguo and Xiaguo were killed at the same time, so the people's hearts are a little turbulent, but it doesn't affect the overall situation. The humble job has arranged people to keep arresting those who spread rumors, and everything is under control now. ,no problem."
Chen Can said: "That's good, as long as everything is stable, we can succeed."
Jiang He said: "We are bound to succeed."
Chen Can stood up and said, "It won't be long, let's go, let's go to Xicheng first. Du Qi's army is coming, it is in the direction of Xicheng, and it should be the first to attack Xicheng. In addition, Jiang Qing, you are arranging someone to inform the three The people of the big family, let their people lead the army, gather in the city of Xicheng, and be ready at any time.??, also caught two big fish, one is Jiang He, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Fire Kingdom, who is in charge of the court. The other is Zhong Kui, the great general of the Fire Nation. "
Du Qi ordered: "Bring it here!"
"yes!"
Liu Che complied and gave orders immediately.
Not long after, Zhong Kui and Jiang He were brought over.
Du Qi looked at the two of them, he didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "You two, are you willing to submit to the king?"
"I do!"
Jiang He answered directly.
Chen Can is dead, the Fire Nation is gone, and he has no intention of continuing his allegiance. Now, he can only submit to Du Qi and work for Du Qi. After all, he has to look forward.
Zhong Kui held his head high and said loudly, "I don't want to surrender. I was born as a man of Fire Country. When I died, I was a ghost of Fire Country. Du Qi, if you want to kill, kill as you please. "
Du Qi nodded and said: "What a loyal and brave man, I will fulfill you. Someone, drag Zhong Kui down and kill him, and give him a good burial."
The soldiers retreated with Zhong Kui.
From the beginning to the end, Zhong Kui never said a word and let the soldiers take him away.
Jiang He saw this scene in his eyes, his eyelids twitched, and finally lowered his head again. He can't control Zhong Kui now, he can only ensure that he can survive, which is the most important thing.
Du Qi looked at Jiang He and said, "Jiang He, do you know where the main supplies such as the granary and money bank are located?"
"I know, I know!"
Jiang He answered hurriedly.
After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. After Lan Jiuzhen's death, he was the head of the civil servants, so he knew all the supplies, whether it was food, money, treasures, or other armor and equipment. .
Du Qi ordered: "Liu Che, you take Jiang He with you and take over all the supplies. Besides, arrange our people to guard the Sifang City Gate."
"yes!"
Liu Che replied immediately.
Du Qi looked at Pan Xisheng and the other three, and said, "Pan Xisheng, tonight I will hold a banquet in the palace to thank you three families for your help. Then, I invite you to the banquet. Next, I have to deal with many things. And arrange the army, so I can't entertain the three now, please forgive me."
Pan Xisheng was the leader, he quickly said: "Your Highness, you are welcome."
Xiang Chen and Yu Fengyan were also humble.
The three of them did not stay, and left with their respective families.
After seeing the three of them leave, Du Qi took people to the palace, executed Chen Can's direct relatives, released all the palace people, emptied the palace, and then he entered the palace to handle government affairs. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
