In the battle of Baicheng, there were countless casualties. Although the bodies were removed after treatment, the blood that soared to the sky was still there. Qian Jiujiu, Mu Yexiao and others were walking on the streets of Baicheng.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but shook his head: "The streets in Baicheng are so depressed now, and I don't know when they will recover. It's really uncomfortable to watch."
Mu Yexiao smiled: "Don't worry, it will be over soon. I have asked Nanfeng to re-count the number of surviving people and the property of the entire Baicheng."
"Then they will be redistributed. I believe they can live a good life. As for our official line, it has never stopped. I guess Baicheng has been sorted out."
"The official road is almost built, and we can continue towards Qincheng."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, it is not easy to rebuild the damage caused by the war, but we have more people and more money, so it will not be difficult. Let's go back after a while."
The reconstruction after the war was not managed by Qian Jiujiu, but Mu Yexiao was busy with things every day, and Qian Jiujiu seemed a little idle.
Today, after seeing the depressed streets of Baicheng, I took the initiative to take on the post-war reconstruction, which can be regarded as helping Mu Yexiao share some things.
Another month has passed, and winter has officially entered. The official road that crosses the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Qian Kingdom has passed through Baicheng smoothly.
They were about to continue heading towards Qincheng, but today, a happy event happened, that is, the child in Hongling's belly was finally successfully born.
After finally receiving a new life, Qian Jiujiu went to see it as soon as possible. The newborn child's face was red and a little ugly. Qian Jiujiu was very funny.
She looked at Hong Ling and said, "Now that the baby is born, you don't have to travel with the army. You can just have a good confinement in Baicheng. It just so happens that I was still discussing it with the prince yesterday."
"It seems that you have given us a choice as to who will be left to guard Baicheng."
Hong Lingren was originally very smart, but she couldn't escape the stupidity of being pregnant for three years. She looked at Qian Jiujiu vaguely: "Princess, do you want to choose a slave?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said: "Of course your Dongchen will stay and guard. Originally, I was thinking of letting Nanfeng stay. After all, those people were settled by Nanfeng."
"Now it seems that it is appropriate for Dongchen to stay. This matter has been decided. You and Dongchen will stay in Baicheng and wait for the people from the court to come and take over Baicheng. Then you can catch up."
Hong Ling nodded, the master and the servant chatted for a while, and Qian Jiujiu left without giving the child a name. After all, it was in Qian Jiujiu's mind.
His own children must be named by their parents. Mu Yexiao's thoughts were similar to Qian Jiujiu's. In this way, Dongchen was left to guard Baicheng.
Several spies who came from Qin City wandered outside Baicheng for half a month before going back to resume their duties. The Lord of Qin City got the news that the Zhou army would soon reach Qin City.
Before that, it was time for him to make a decision. In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and the official road was finally built to the edge of Qincheng.
In fact, if the war was fought in one go, everyone in the Qian Kingdom believed that Dazhou could quickly win the Qian Kingdom. However, King Xiao of Dazhou actually made the decision.
While fighting the war and building roads at the same time, Qian Guo originally thought that the supplies in Dazhou would be cut off, but he never found out that there was no such thing as food and grass in Dazhou.
He was actually stunned by the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for such a long time, the royal family in the capital of Qian Kingdom suffered a lot.
When the city lord of Qin City saw an extra road outside the city, he knew that the Zhou army was coming. In fact, the city lord of Qin City had already thought about what he should do.
After all, the capabilities of the Zhou army are obvious to all, and the current Qianguo is only at the end of its war effort, and is not even considered a threat.
When Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao ordered the army to set up camp and just finished doing these things, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, Lord Qin wants to see you."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. The timing of City Lord Qin's arrival was quite a coincidence. He came right after he arrived, so impatient
The corners of Mu Yexiao's mouth curved: "I'm going to meet you. Do you want to go?"
Qian Jiujiu thought for a moment: "I'd better go and see what City Lord Qin wants to do?"
After saying that, the two of them went to the other people's tent where they were specially greeted. After waiting for a while, I saw Xiaobing leading a middle-aged man in.
After the middle-aged man came in, he looked at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu and saluted consciously: "I have met King Xiao, Princess Xiao. I am the lord of Qin City."
"We came here specially to surrender this time. We in Qin City only have 30,000 defenders. They were abandoned by the Qian Kingdom, so we have no choice but to surrender. I hope that the prince and princess will be successful."
City Lord Qin spoke very directly and was not a person who beat around the bush. However, after speaking, City Lord Qin was still very nervous, but he still tried hard to stay calm.
Afraid that Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu opposite them would not believe in themselves, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. In fact, during this period of time, they had also thought about various things.
Qin Cheng's reaction, after much deliberation and analysis of the character of the Lord of Qin City, he felt that the decision made by the Lord of Qin City was probably to surrender.
After all, facing them with 30,000 men, there is no other use than to send them to death, so in fact, as early as a month ago, Qian Jiujiu asked Rabbit to start sending animals to monitor the life of City Lord Qin.
This was also a little secret between Qian Jiujiu and Rabbit, so Rabbit controlled the animals and stood in front. Mu Yexiao looked at City Lord Qin with a smile: "City Lord Qin, please sit down."
"Since you are so sincere, naturally we will not say anything more and directly accept your surrender and let us, the Great Zhou Dynasty, manage Qincheng."
City Lord Qin did not expect Mu Yexiao to accept it so happily, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Because the Lord of Qin City sincerely surrendered, the next time was about how to transform Qin City.
After crossing Qin City with the construction of official roads, the Zhou army was becoming more and more proficient in building official roads, so it only took a month to reach Su City, which is closest to Qin City.
The city lord of Su City and the city lord Qin were sworn friends. The two cities had always been in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together, so Mu Yexiao and his team achieved a great victory.
Four of the five cities in Qian Kingdom were directly occupied, and now only the last one is left. But I believe that the last city is not that easy to break.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu quickly caught Rabbit: "Rabbit, you have people monitor every move in Licheng now."
Naturally, the rabbit did not refuse, and began to control the small animals' activities in Licheng. At this time, something big happened in Licheng.
Because the two cities of Qincheng and Sucheng directly chose to surrender, the royal family of Jiangqian Kingdom couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Emperor Qiang was very satisfied that Mi Su died in Baicheng after all.
Therefore, after the second prince returned to the capital, he was once again placed in high regard by Emperor Qian. After learning that Emperor Qian was rescued by a woodcutter, he also summoned the woodcutter.
The second prince was still a little nervous about the emperor's meeting with the woodcutter. In the second prince's house, the second prince looked at the woodcutter with a worried look on his face: "Misu, what should I do? The emperor wants to see you."
Mi Su raised her eyebrows: "I am a woodcutter now, don't worry, I won't be recognized."
The second prince looked at Misu's confident look. Although it was strange, he still chose to believe in Misu. He took Misu to the palace, only to find that a banquet was being held in the Qian Kingdom Palace.
This made the second prince think of something. Doesn't today happen to be his eldest brother's birthday? Maybe it was just that his father wanted to celebrate him.
Thinking of this, the second prince's complexion improved a lot. Otherwise, the country would be almost destroyed now. When the war is so promising, he is still in the mood to hold a banquet.
The second prince was probably still feeling a little sad, so he led the woodcutter to the main hall. Inside the main hall, the emperor sat on a high dragon chair, looking down expressionlessly.
The eldest prince looked at the second prince with a half-smile, obviously he was in a good mood. How could he not be happy that Misu was finally dead? Seeing the angry and bitter expression of the second prince, I felt even happier.
"Hey, second brother, you seem a little unhappy after surviving the catastrophe and getting it back? That's right. Commander Misu has always been loyal to you. It's quite uncomfortable to suddenly lose his left and right hands."
"But, death is death. After all, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come. Speaking of which, second brother, you are really lucky. No, a Misu just left."
"This is here again. By the way, shouldn't you introduce the person next to you?"
The mockery on his face made the second prince's hands clenched into fists, but he quickly put them down weakly. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. What else did the eldest prince want to say.
Only then did he hear the emperor sitting above cough twice. At this moment, the second prince seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked at the emperor above and knelt down.
"My son, I will meet my father."
The emperor saw the second prince looking so listless, and he knew in his heart that it was because Misu died and he was in a bad mood, so he couldn't bear it that the eldest prince hit the second prince like this.
I was still a little skeptical, was Misu dead? His youngest son went together at first, but he went there with the idea of living and dying together.
Who knew that the second prince would come back alone? Soon the emperor's eyes also turned to the woodcutter: "Who are you?"
As soon as the woodcutter heard the emperor's words, he immediately knelt down, his clothes trembling with fear: "Grass, grass, grass people woodcutter."
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment. They just saw this man standing there with great momentum. Why is he so timid when he speaks? It's really strange.
The emperor was also very puzzled: "What is your name?"
"The woodcutter!"
