"Another news has come through. Please open it and take a look?"
Liangzhou, Zhu Tianyou, the prefect of Liangzhou, and the county magistrate of Liangzhou gathered together and looked at the map of Liangzhou placed in the center of the table.
A messenger hurried into the house, shook off the snow from his body, and knelt on one knee.
At this time, the frost had just fallen, and it was already snowing heavily in Beiguan.
"See the King of Liangzhou, the County Sheriff and the Magistrate. Our army spies have sent us urgent military information!"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up!"
The imperial edict to canonize Zhu Tianyou as the King of Liangzhou has arrived this morning, and accompanying the edict is a more important task, that is, how to defend Liangzhou City in the hands of these northern nomadic coalition forces.
!
Although His Majesty will not send the Xiaoqi military camp for reinforcements, Zhu Tianyou and the county guard are not sure. Although they have heard the battle reports from General Xiao Xiaoqi and the army he led, they also know about their outstanding military exploits.
But before, the five major military camps acted together, but now only one of them has been excluded, and they are still fighting against the coalition of northern nomads!
I'm just afraid that it will be a disaster on the frontal battlefield!
"According to our army's spying, it is said that the coalition forces of the nomadic people have united with a country in the far west to attack Liangzhou. Their country is full of blond, blue-eyed and white-skinned people. They look very strange. Maybe there is something wrong with them.
I hope your Majesty and adults will be careful about witchcraft!"
Blonde?
White skin, what is this?
Zhu Tianyou looked at the people around him. Shouldn't they all have black hair and black eyes?
"Could it be Da Qin?"
The compiled Da Qin does not refer to the Qin Dynasty in Chinese history, but the ancient names for some European countries.
The Silk Road connected commerce between the two regions, but we don’t know much about various details, such as culture, economy, and politics, so we use the name Da Qin uniformly.
"I remember seeing such a description in a travel book before!"
The prefect also recalled several books he had read previously.
"It seems to be written by some traveling merchants. They traveled thousands of miles to trade with those wealthy peoples in the Qin Dynasty, exchanging porcelain and silk for jewelry, gold and silver, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty!"
"They are so far apart, why would they send troops to take a dip in this muddy water?"
Zhu Tianyou was puzzled. It was thousands of miles away. If this was a march, it would not last more than half a year.
"I don't know about this, but according to their religion and beliefs, it seems that every once in a while, of course, it may happen a few times, they lead the army on the Eastern Expedition..."
It's just that hundreds of years ago, it seemed that it was frightened by Genghis Khan's cavalry, and it hasn't made any big moves since then.
Could it be that at this time, they happened to catch up with their Eastern Expedition?
"Who cares, they come from thousands of miles away to attack us. They must have low morale and are not accustomed to the local environment!"
"And no matter who you are, as long as you step into my Ming Dynasty's territory, you are my Ming Dynasty's enemy!"
I, Zhu Tianyou, finally became the king of Liangzhou. Naturally, Liangzhou is mine. I don’t care who you are. As long as you dare to disturb my dream of the king of Liangzhou, I will teach you what it means to walk around without food.
.
"Go back and continue to spy on the military situation for me. It's best if you can find out when they will march and what route they will take!"
"yes!"
The messenger immediately retreated. At this time, many checkpoints had been marked on the map of Liangzhou City, and even river signs had been drawn around Liangzhou City.
Is Zhu Tianyou planning to dig a moat around Liangzhou City?
It's just that in this cold weather, it has already snowed heavily in Liangzhou, and there is no water flowing in the river, and everything has turned into cold ice.
"If the opponent approaches the city, you can indeed use water attack to defend it!"
In winter, hot water freezes faster than cold water. If the cold water can be boiled to make instant noodles, it will not only cause burns to the enemy, but it will also quickly turn into frostbite after it freezes, freezing the ground. Indeed
Can strengthen defense.
His question was, where did they get so much water?
Moreover, Liangzhou is already located in an arid zone, so water resources are even more scarce.
"Just invite the big guys to come over, let's build a big house together, make a fire in it for heating, cooking, and boiling water!"
If you want to rely on these troops to defend the entire Liangzhou, you will have to mobilize all the people!
If the entire residents of Liangzhou City could have food, clothing, and live together, maybe this would really be possible.
"It seems possible. The food and grass in the city is enough to last for two and a half years. If someone can really unite the people, it will not be a problem to defend Liangzhou!"
Several people said half-jokingly that although they all thought this was unrealistic, what if it happened?
A group of people who have never fought before discuss how to build it on this map. This is just a matter of paper.
However, several of them did not completely abide by the art of war. After all, there was only one Zhao Kuo, and he completely copied what was written in the art of war. This was extremely rare.
"I think you might as well discuss building defense facilities and laying traps outside the fortress!"
"And we should also inform other places around us. If Liangzhou cannot be conquered for a long time, they will definitely look for other places as a breakthrough before winter!"
The Allied Forces of the Four Nations besieged Liangzhou, but failed to return. This is unjustifiable, so they will definitely find a weak spot and use a victory to boost their confidence.
"If they attack other places, it has nothing to do with us in Liangzhou. Your Majesty's order only tells us to defend it for two weeks. When your Majesty's cavalry arrives in the spring of next year, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as we can defend it for three hours under His Majesty's offensive.
, you are already called the God of War!"
As long as Liangzhou is defended, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend. No matter how much land you attack in the Western Region, you can still recover it in a short time.
Zhu Tianyou and the others had already guessed that the central government might have something unspeakable, so they took this drastic step.
Your Majesty has always been the one who rides on other people's necks and hits others in the face. How could it be someone else's turn to bully you?
"Alas, Your Majesty originally wanted to rest and recuperate for two or three years, but who would have thought that these people had to rush to dig their own graves. As a result, they dug them all winter, and they will lie in them when the next spring comes!"
"It is their blessing to die in a season full of flowers and have His Majesty personally bury them!"
Here in Liangzhou, there is no tension at all on the front line, more like Zhu Gaoyan's anxiety.
They believe that with His Majesty here, victory in this war belongs to them and only to them!
