February……

Outside Jianzhou City, the mountains are full of green, and spring comes here particularly early.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty besieged Jianzhou City.

The army camped outside the city to build houses and widen the roads, as if they were going to settle down here.

What's even more surprising is that there is a small market outside the city.

The nearby villagers carried their own agricultural products and came to the military camp to trade with soldiers from Dazhou.

Hey!

fine?

Safety?

He traded with the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was free to pay, and was ready to bargain without bargaining.

It seems safe and no problem.

How can you miss such a good thing?

Some people start with it, and then more and more villagers will follow them to sell agricultural products.

The small vendors waited and found out that there was no danger. They also started carrying the burden to the near military camp and spontaneously formed a market to do business.

After a period of time, even some merchants who traveled around the world began to participate in this feast and earn money from the soldiers.

"The money from those big-headed soldiers is easy to make!"

This is the common experience of everyone, and I like the great Zhou army who is happy to pay.

"The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were paid in time. Those big-headed soldiers had no entertainment on weekdays. They took out the military salary and took advantage of the rare opportunity to take a turn for vacation. They must have spent a lot of money."

"The soldiers don't know how much money they save, they spend as much as they spend."

"That's better, otherwise we can't do business."

"The veterans in Dazhou are treated well, and there are not many worries, so they can naturally open up spending money."

A small vendor sighed, "I really hope this battle can continue."

Sincere!

They are so hopeful from the bottom of their hearts.

If the military camp is stationed for one more day, they can do business for one more day, which is simply too good.

As for what will happen to the Great Chu country, what will happen to the Shi family, and whether the senior officials and men in the court will lose their lives, it doesn’t matter.

The common people in the market only care about their current life.

and……

The Northern Zhou army besieged the city and did not launch a fierce attack.

It's more just a siege than an attack.

Jianzhou City only goes out but not in.

Why?

Because Xiao Yi divided his troops several times, he was conquering the city and territory step by step, one prefecture after another, and one prefecture after another.

He was eroding other territory in Nanchu except Jianzhou City.

By the time he took over the entire territory of Nanchu and solved the local resistance force, Jianzhou City will sooner or later be his possession.

Yan Shouzhan once asked him why he didn't attack Jianzhou City first, and then began to radiate to the entire southern Chu territory?

His reason is very good, "Jianzhou City is high and deep, and forcibly attacking the city will inevitably cost a heavy price. The life of every soldier is very precious, so why not leave a useful body to make achievements in the local prefectures?

Besides, Shi Wen had already prepared sufficient food, grass and weapons in the city, which could last for at least two years. Two years!

In two years, the army was spent here, which was so ridiculous. First take over the territory of southern Chu, and finally solve the problem of Jianzhou City, and you can still get food on the spot."

"What you said is reasonable."

Xiao Yidi's arrangements are reasonable.

Yan Shouzhan fully agreed with the strategy of first local and then capital.

but……

He was extremely unhappy inside.

Because, his plan to kill Shi Wen had to be postponed again.

He looked at the profound Jianzhou City wall, "It may not take two years. Now Jianzhou City is only out but not in. I heard that a small official had already taken his family to sneak out of the city. If this matter was true, I would probably wait for another half a year and Shi Wen's court would be over."

"It is indeed a few small officials who ran out sneakily. It was too early to conclude half a year before the powerful and wealthy families left the city."

Yan Shouzhan laughed, "Don't think too strongly about the enemy. Most of the troops in Nan Chu were taken away by Shi La, and Shi Wen had only limited troops on hand.

The men in the Southern Chu Dynasty knew very well that victory would belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty sooner or later.

Look, when Shi Wen starts to be crazy, someone will definitely open the city gate for us and welcome the king's army into the city."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Supreme Emperor means that Shi Wen may kill someone to vent his anger."

Yan Shouzhan said confidently: "It's not possible, but certain. I have been dealing with him for decades. What will he do? I can basically guess what he will do."

Xiao Yi's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Yan Shouzhan knew it in his heart, "Are you worried about the Dongping Prince's Mansion family?"

Xiao Yi didn't say anything, and silence represented affirmation.

He was indeed worried about his eldest brother's family.

If the eldest brother's family is killed because of the siege, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

He looked at the other party, "Can the Supreme Emperor save people?"

Yan Shouzhan did not refuse or agree, but asked, "Who do you want to save? How many people do you want to save? If you want to save the entire family of the Dongping Prince's Mansion, it is absolutely impossible.

No matter how miserable Shi Wen is, he is the emperor after all. He has a group of loyal old guys under his command to work hard for him. Killing people is like chopping vegetables!"

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, "At least, I must save the lives of my elder brother, sister-in-law and children."

Yan Shouzhan shook his head, "Your requirements are too high. It's a great idea to protect one or two people's lives. It's simply a dream to protect his whole family."

"Is there nothing Queen Yan can do?"

"Yun Fei has some people on hand, but the number of people is limited. She can't fight against Shi Wen with tough stubbornness. Otherwise, Shi Wen will get crazy and everyone will have to be buried with him. As for you, you're also trying to be more open. Shi Wen won't kill someone immediately. At least half a year, let's find a way slowly!"

Xiao Yi nodded and indeed wanted to find a way to get the Dongping Prince's Mansion out as soon as possible.

actually……

Yan Shouzhan wanted to say that life and death have fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven.

Jianzhou City is the place where the Xiao clan made its fortune and also where the Xiao clan was defeated.

Anyone with the surname Xiao will definitely not have a good ending in Jianzhou City and will die sooner or later.

The best way is to use black dog blood and rooster blood to crack it.

However, Xiao Yi would definitely not be happy to listen to him.

He is not annoying either. He has said everything he should say and done everything he should do.

He is waiting for the day when the city gate is opened, and he will personally lead the dead soldiers into the Taisho Palace and take Shi Wen's life.

...

The chance to enter the city was expected to be faster by Yan Shouzhan.

More and more people leave (escape) Jianzhou City through the city tower hanging basket.

At the beginning, there were many small residents in the market.

It was not that there were floods and beasts in the city that forced them to leave. Instead, Jianzhou City only went out but not in, business was difficult and life was difficult.

Small vendors and market vendors have not saved much, nor have they stored too much goods.

After the goods are sold out, there is no business and no income. What should I eat?

After a while, I thought of various ways and learned that the small vendors outside the city have been doing business recently.

Compared with their own miserable misery, many people began to think about leaving the city.

In the city, there are already people who have carried out business contracting out of the city.

Pay a sum of money and send it out of the city with a hanging basket in the middle of the night. It is absolutely fair.

At first there were only one or two people, but later there were one or two families...

As time goes by, more and more people are going to leave the city, and the Great Zhou army outside the city will not stop it. As long as we deal with the city guard generals in the city, everything will be safe.

Soon, the business of leaving the city developed into a complete industrial chain.

From the small people in the market, to the small rich family, to the landlords and old wealth...
To be continued...
