Su Muqian spent a day learning about the current situation of Xihe Prefecture in Changdongcheng. No matter what, Changzhou is the one with the most contacts in Lixihe Prefecture, and he must get more information.

"The products of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce are very popular in Changzhou, not only in Chang'an City, but also in Changqing City, but also in other cities."

"Lightings, air conditioners, mirrors, glass and soap are very expensive, but they are all worth the money."

"About Xifeng Village, I heard that it was attacked in half a day and rescued many people. I took back all the food, gold, silver and treasures from Xifeng Village, and asked those from Xifeng Village to build roads."

"It's not bad, but the army's strength is a bit weak and cannot resist the Kitahara people."

Su Muqian also had a problem. Most people came from the invasion of Xihezhou from the Xihe Chamber of Commerce and Beiyuan people. They thought it was not bad but not very safe. However, Su Muqian did not agree with this unsafe statement. He had seen the team led by Lin Tu. Although there were not many people, he was well-trained and showed strict style in every move. Does such an army weak? It doesn't look as vulnerable as others said.

He also wrote a letter from a bookstore owner in Changdongcheng, and then went to the inn to prepare to send it to Kyoto. For this letter, Su Muqian also helped organize the books and did a long time of work.

When we were going to make meals outside the camp in the evening, Old Man Wang asked Su Muqian again and asked about the situation.

"Xiao Su, did you find out what news today?"

"I have asked a lot of people. Regarding the situation in Xihezhou, they all say that it feels OK but not safe. However, I always feel that the rumors are wrong. I have seen the team brought by General Lin, and I feel that it is much more powerful than other teams."

"Then, Xiao Su, are we going to that place yet?"

"Go, if it really doesn't work, come back."

"Haole, Xiao Su reads a lot of books and has seen a lot of knowledge, so he will definitely not lie to me." Old Man Wang smiled silly, and Su Muqian also felt that he was responsible. If someone believed, he should take on this part of the responsibility. If Xihezhou Xihecheng is really a good place to go, then everyone will be happy. If it was not as good as it was said, Su Muqian would definitely take Old Man Wang and his family out there.

The next day, Su Muqian and Wang Laohan's family went outside the camp to find people from Xihezhou to sign up. The people outside the camp were the five-member group of Xihejun. These five people were responsible for this camp, and there were also people in the other two camps to deal with such things.

"Look, I really dare to go to Xihezhou."

"I'm really desperate. Let's go. When Tianzhou is safe, I'll go back to Tianzhou."

"When something like this happens, the court should be exempted from taxes. I hope there will be a good harvest next year."

"How nice it's so nice to stay in Tianzhou honestly, running around, hey."

Most people are not optimistic about these people who are preparing to go to Xihezhou. They think that Xihezhou is unsafe, and they are unwilling to leave. The departure is always temporary and they want to go back as soon as possible. But Su Muqian knew that this was inevitable. Xihezhou is also the territory of the Dawei Dynasty, and it requires population if it needs to develop. Even the people on Wangzhou Island overseas have been transferred, and Xihezhou is still on land, so how could the court ignore it? If it really reaches the point of being forced, the court may take some tough measures.

When someone registered, more people were moved. I heard that Li Ru praised Xihezhou very well, but now someone is taking the lead. Whether they really want to go or follow the trend, there are quite a few people who have signed up, and there are more than 600 people in the three camps.

It is only a small part of Changdongcheng, but with the people who have moved to other cities, they can take a breath for a while. The people in Changdongcheng usually only have to rest for a few days and have to be arranged to go to other cities, which is also impossible.

Three days later, Li Ru and Lin Tu took more than 600 people who signed up, as well as the Xihe Army who followed him all the way back to Xihezhou. In addition to their own use, the food left by the Xihe Army was enough for more than 1,000 people to return to Xihe City. Now it seems that there is too much food.

Along the way, Su Muqian and Xihejun had more contact. Whether it was marching or resting, cooking, or taking a nap, Xihejun would send a small number of people to watch.

Su Muqian also took the opportunity to talk to Lin Tu a lot of things, but Lin Tu did not refuse. Maybe it was because Su Muqian, a literati, also had a martial spirit, so Lin Tu admired Su Muqian more.

"General Lin, how long will it take for us to arrive in Xihezhou?"

"If you go to Xihezhou, it will take two more days, and if you go to Xihezhou, it will take another one more day."

"General Lin, in your eyes, what kind of place is Xihecheng?"

Lin Tu also knew Su Muqian’s thoughts, “You are not very relieved, right? Don’t worry, if I am in Xihe City one day, Xihe City will not be broken. As for other cities, the city guards are not only small in number, but also have not been trained much. If the Beiyuan people ignore the threat of the Dingsha Army, it is really hard to say.”

"Then is there no other way?"

"Yes, yes, but it's not very applicable. Ximiao City is now seizing the time to train the city guards. I won't talk about the two cities near Dingsha City, it should be safe. It's hard to say about Xilan City and Xichong City. If there is enough time, the city guards of these two cities will have enough training. With artillery, the Beiyuan people will definitely be buried in Xihezhou if they dare to come."

Su Muqian didn't expect Lin Tu to be so angry. The troubles of Beiyuan were caused by the emperor's personal expeditions in all dynasties, and it was only a few years to be postponed. Now Lin Tu has only such a little city guard, so where does he get the confidence? Training, aren't the soldiers on the frontier trained? Isn't it still impossible to defeat the Beiyuan people, plus artillery? What is this artillery?

Su Muqian suddenly thought of the key to the problem. Perhaps it was not training, but something or person called artillery.

"Architecture? Isn't this artillery the key factor in capturing Xifeng Village?" Su Muqian thought for a while and thought about what happened not long ago. It was still the case that the troops were not bloody.

"It turns out that he is an idea--it is indeed a cannon. This cannon can be said to be powerful. It is not only a powerful weapon for siege and a village, but it is even more difficult to use it to defend the city."

Su Muqian became more and more curious. Is this unheard of thing really so powerful? But then he thought about it, Su Muqian thought of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce and the various magical commodities inside. "Is this artillery also owned by His Royal Highness Prince Sichuan?"

"Yes, this cannon is easier to operate than a stone catapult, and it is extremely powerful. The most important thing is that it is much lighter than a stone catapult. It can be placed on the city wall and ten cannons are placed on a city gate, so the people of Beiyuan will definitely not be able to attack."

Su Muqian imagined that there was a stone caster on the city gate, which was a huge weapon with a long range. Ten cannons at a city gate were the ones, and that was the one with a cross. Su Muqian was a little unimaginable. With such a powerful weapon, it would take more troops to attack the city. Even if Xihe City only had 3,000 city guards, it would probably take 10,000 people, and it would be severely damaged to take it down, right?

Su Muqian didn't know that he underestimated the power of the cannon.

Just like this, there was time every day, Su Muqian would talk to Lin Tu and Li Ru. Because Su Muqian had studied, Li Ru would sometimes talk to Su Muqian in the carriage. After Su Muqian learned a lot about Xihecheng, Su Muqian gradually felt relieved and looked forward to it.

Three days passed, and when the fourth day was almost noon, Li Ru and his group appeared outside the east gate of Xihe City. At this time, a kind of "newspaper" thing was popular in Xihe City a few days ago. It was sold in four major urban areas, and it was sold in department stores and Baiweilou opened in Yang Yichuan. For a while, it became popular in Xihe.

Today is a new month, which is another holiday. And it’s Friday, so it’s Friday, so I hope everyone will support it. As for the next two days, at least two updates. If there is an unlimited firepower mode, everyone knows that it’s probably only guaranteed.
