Hong Chengchou insisted on letting Cao Bianjiao escort him, but Zhu Cilang was helpless. He had more troops and had more insurance: "Okay, I will agree. Governor Hong, it's not too late. In March, Huang Taijiu will definitely send troops to attack Yizhou. So there is not much time left for the prince. The weapons and food are immediately sent to Yizhou, and the sooner the better."

This crown prince is the most difficult person to understand. He said he was smart, and he immediately did a huge foolish thing. The dignified crown prince actually went to the front line to die. Moreover, he also swears that Huangtai will attack Yizhou in March.

You say he is stupid, but Zhu Cilang has a strict logic and clear structure. It seems that everything is confident, which makes Hong Chengchou a little messy. Not only him, but even the soldiers under his command are a little confused.

Apart from Changping General Li Shouyan, only he admired Zhu Cilang, and Li Shouyan had become Zhu Cilang's loyalty. In his eyes, His Royal Highness is not a human being, but a god.

Hong Chengchou was finally forced to agree to all Zhu Cixuan's request, with three thousand iron-tied hard bows and more than 200,000 arrows. In addition, there were eight red cannons.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do it. If Zhu Cilang had given enough time, these heavy and backward red cannons would have been kicked by him. But now it is too late to develop more advanced cannons, so he can only temporarily cram the eight cannons formed by Jinzhou to Yizhou together.

Compared with Zhu Cilang's absurd behavior, Hong Chengchou was not idle either. He rushed for 800 miles and handed over an urgent report from the Jinzhou front to the postman: "Remember, arrive at the capital as fast as possible. If the time is delayed, military law will be carried out!"

When the postman saw the document, he couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat. What the Governor gave him was the highest-level urgent report - Eight hundred miles of quick news.

The Ming Dynasty file transmission was due to post stations. Generally, there was a post station every twenty miles. Once the official document that needed to be delivered stated the words "Flying now" must be transmitted at a speed of 300 miles per day according to regulations. If an emergency occurs, the transmission speed can reach 400 miles per day, 600 miles per day, and the fastest reach 800 miles.

Chongzhen sacked most of the post stations, but the stations directly to the capital in Liaodong were retained. When delivering emergency documents, each post station used a fast horse. In this way, although it is not a thousand-mile horse, every horse ran desperately, and could be a thousand miles a day. The "800 Mile Express" was specifically used to express information transmission in emergencies.

At this moment, the postman did not dare to neglect it, and he took the rush to report it in a hurry, and then left with a quick horse and whipped it.

In the official road, a postman was rushing to the capital in a hurry with documents from Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ji Liao. However, shortly after the postman rushed to the capital, another postman behind him also followed the horse and whipped it to the capital. It seemed that there were many urgent reports from all over the place. The official road has not been so lively for a long time.

Zhu Cilang cheated Hong Chengchou of a large number of weapons and brought nearly 10,000 people into Yizhou. When he arrived at Yizhou City, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but take a breath.

No wonder Hong Chengchou said that Yizhou has no city or defense. Looking at the broken city walls and years of wars at the border have made this city almost ruins.

It seems like a fool to start a new impregnable city on this ruin. Originally, Zhu Cilang wanted to seize Yizhou before Huangtaiji, build the city wall here, and support Jinzhou and Guangning.

But when he saw this, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but stand on his hair: "Oh, this is a ruin?"

Yizhou Acropolis was built in the 22nd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. He Hao, the commander of the capital, built Yizhou Wei Tucheng on the old city site. In the first year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the capital, Chu Yong, changed it to a stone brick city, and then repaired it many times. The ancient city is square, with a surrounding area of ​​nine miles and ten steps, with a wall of 3 meters high, a bottom of 18 meters wide and a top of 12 meters wide. There are battlements on the top of the wall, a railing inside, and a horse road in the middle. There are sixteen forts around the city wall and more than 800 marches.

There are four gates: Xichun in the east, Yongqing in the south, Qingfeng in the west, and Antai in the north. There are heavy buildings all built on the city gates.

Originally, this was indeed a solid city. Unfortunately, with years of war in the frontier, the city had long been abandoned. The city gates were broken, the city walls collapsed, and the city was even more desolate. It was true that rabbits entered the dog's shadow and pheasants flew from the beams.

The time left for Zhu Cilang is only more than a month. It is a fantasy to rebuild Yizhou City within more than a month.

The bandits who were reorganized by the Eastern Palace Guard didn't think it was nothing. They just wanted to break the city. We have so many people, so if we can't defeat them, we can escape. Isn't the bandits always like this in fighting?

Li Shouyan and Cao Bianjiao, who came with him, looked at each other, but they were frightened. In this Yizhou City, once Jiannu came, he could easily break through without even half a day.

Li Shouyan, who had originally believed in Zhu Cilang, became a little suspicious, but Cao Bianjiao simply found Zhu Cilang who was camping: "Your Highness, there will be an urgent matter."

Zhu Ciyang, who was watching the soldiers camp, turned around in shock: "General Cao, what's the matter?"

Cao Bianjiao thought for a while, and bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will say bluntly. You must not be stationed here. Let's retreat."

Even Cao Bianjiao, who was known for his bravery, retreated and saw how dangerous this Yizhou City was. Zhu Cilang still smiled confidently: "General Cao is afraid, and we are afraid that Jiannu will come over, right?"

Cao Bianjiao nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, this city is broken. It will take some time to repair it. If Jiannu attacks at this time, how can we resist in a hurry?"

"A month, don't we have one month left? Besides, the news that Governor Hong has received has not had any major changes in Jiannu recently. What are we afraid of? As long as the city wall is completed within one month, how can a mere Jiannu be? " Zhu Cilang replied lightly.

Cao Bianjiao thought he was hallucinating. He looked at the walls that had collapsed around him and then looked at the broken city: "What does your highness mean is one month?"

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, it can be completed in one month."

Cao Bianjiao regretted it a little. He should have listened to Hong Chengchou and tried his best to stop Zhu Cilang. You can't build these city walls in a month or two.

Changping General Li Shouyan also followed him, and he drooped his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm not sure about it. If this city is to be repaired, it will take as long as one year or as long as two or three years. Jiannu will attack at any time, and once we find out we are here, we will definitely surround him. Your Highness thinks twice. If there is no strong wall, we will definitely not be the opponent of Jiannu's cavalry."
