Inside the eastern suburbs camp.
Wei Ming, the general of Zhenguo, was dispatching 100,000 new soldiers.
Li Junche stood beside Wei Ming in armor, "The new recruits are strong and strong, and half of them have undergone cold-resistant training for half a month. General Wei may be able to put them to use by taking them to Gucheng."
Wei Ming said: "Then I would like to thank His Highness Prince Che for training my soldiers first."
"But fortunately, the emperor didn't let me lead troops to attack the Snow Kingdom. I only stationed myself in the isolated city." The climate of the snowfield glaciers was cold. Even if he had 200,000 troops, Wei Ming was not sure.
Li Junche: "Father just wanted to take Linyue Kingdom and then attack Snow Country, so he asked you to garrison instead of attacking. However, I predict that when the fight between Linyue Kingdom and I is fierce, Usa Khanna will lead his troops to attack Yuebei City, and the general must still be prepared for a fight. "
Wei Ming nodded, he naturally knew this. The emperor asked him to take King Heng with him simply because he had been to the Snow Country and had a better understanding of the environment on the road, which would come in handy when attacking the Snow Country.
Before Li Yuheng returned to the capital, he received a letter from the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War.
When he knew that he was going to Gucheng with Wei Ming, Li Yuheng was a little startled.
He had just come back and was about to leave, and his injuries hadn't healed yet.
Gucheng is so close to Yuebei City. Once the Snow Kingdom really comes, it will be a battlefield.
Thinking about the height and body shape of the Snow Country people, Li Yuheng thought it would be better to let Wei Ming and Li Junche switch, so that Linyue Country would be weaker.
At the end of the west, Li Junche took 50,000 soldiers and horses from the eastern suburbs camp to the border to join the main army remaining in the three cities of Min, Shang and Zi.
Before leaving, all the ministers came to see him off.
Li Yuheng's whole body was covered with ointment, "Second brother, defeat more with less. The difference in strength is hundreds of thousands. Brother, I hope you can come back alive."
Li Junche looked at the other party's embarrassed appearance, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, it is more important to think about how to survive in the lonely city."
Li Yuheng's expression froze for a moment. When his father saw his embarrassed appearance, he did not change his mind. He had to go to this lonely city.
And the most irritating thing is that the general who leads the country does not have the military power in his hands. Whether his words count or not depends on whether Wei Ming gives him face.
Even if he achieved military exploits, the first credit belongs to Wei Ming, not Li Yuheng.
That night, Butler Li came to the residence of General Wei Ming with a letter.
"General Wei, this is the letter my prince asked me to bring to the general before he left."
After Butler Li handed the letter into Wei Ming's hand, he took the lead and left.
Wei Ming looked at the flying words on it, hesitated for a moment, then opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
There are very few words on the paper, only one sentence.
"If General Wei cannot defend the isolated city, he can send a letter to Nancheng to ask for help from my princess."
Wei Ming stared at this sentence and fell into silence. Asked Princess Che for help?
Assuming that his 200,000 troops can't withstand the attack of the Snow Country army, how can the more than 1,000 soldiers in Nancheng be useful.
King Che could be suffering from a demonic disease. What is the profound meaning of this sentence?
Nancheng Posthouse.
Wen Jinhe had just read the letter sent by the secret guard from the capital.
Song Zhiyuan and Mu Mingqian walked in happily.
Song Zhiyuan: "Princess, the dam in Huyue City will be completed in half a month. Should we prepare to return to the capital?"
Mu Mingqian looked at Wen Jinhe expectantly, hoping that she could say something and take him back with her.
Wen Jinhe put the letter on the candle and burned it. He looked up at Mu Mingqian and asked, "Master Mu, are floods in the cross-he dam generally concentrated in September or October?"
Mu Mingqian nodded, "Yes."
Wen Jinhe nodded, "In this case, the rest of the construction of the cross-he dam should be slowed down and completed before July or August."
The two of them were stunned. They were both on schedule, so why were they suddenly delayed for several months?
The remaining project can be completed in less than half a month.
Song Zhiyuan glanced at the ashes on the table, blinked and asked, "Did the prince say something in the letter?"
"News came from the capital. The emperor ordered the prince to lead an army of 200,000 to attack the Linyue Kingdom at the end of the Western month. The generals Wei Ming and King Heng also led an army of 200,000 to garrison the isolated city. They also set out at the end of the Western month. The two armies The departure times are only three days apart.”
Mu Mingqian swallowed. Why didn't his father write to him? There was no news about such a big matter.
He looked at Wen Jinhe, maybe King Che's people were faster.
Mu Mingqian couldn't help but probe: "Prince Che doesn't want the princess to return to the capital at this time?"
Wen Jinhe nodded, "He feels that the capital is not as safe as Nancheng. Anyway, it will be fine for this princess to go back. There is no harm in staying for a while."
Rather than returning to the capital to face the emperor, it is better to stay in Nancheng. At least the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the other party can easily control it.
Song Zhiyuan already understood what King Che meant. Compared to the capital, Princess Che was safer in the Thirteen Cities in the North. .
After leaving the hall, Mu Mingqian grabbed Song Zhiyuan and said, "Sir Song, the project is suddenly postponed for three months. What will happen to the workers who built the dam?"
All of them were laid off at once, leaving nearly 10,000 people unemployed.
Song Zhiyuan stared at him, wondering why there was such a big difference between the father and his son, "Now is the busy time for farming. It's just time for them to go home and farm. There will be wars on both sides. After that, food will definitely be in short supply. Besides, if we leave, They will starve to death without the princess, and this life is too worthless. "
In the past six months or so, the people who built the dam across the river have made some money, otherwise there would be no people from other cities coming to settle in Nancheng.
Mao Qianxi, the prefect of Huyue City, was a little panicked when he heard that Song Zhiyuan dismissed many workers and left a hundred people to continue building the dam.
This song was well repaired, but why did it suddenly stop working?
So he immediately went to Mu Mingqian and asked the reason, "Master Mu, are you encountering any difficulties?"
Mu Mingqian answered him with a look of embarrassment: "Master Mao, you have seen the construction quality of this dam. The cost is really too great. Princess Che has already spent almost all the money she has. It's not that we won't build it, it's just that we won't build it." Slow down and wait until the money earned from the princess's property in the capital is sent over. Don't worry, the construction will be completed before the flood season. "
Mao Qianxi felt relieved immediately after hearing this. In the past few years, the imperial court sent people to repair the dam, but it would take nearly two years to complete.
In the end, it was still a shoddy project, and the embankments burst as soon as the flood came.
Princess Che, this is considered fast.
