Chapter 42: Another way out

"Your Highness!"
Xun Yu got up, bowed to Yue Chen, and then faced everyone and talked freely, "Hongyan City is blocked, there is no foreign aid, and there is not much food and grass inside. It would be catastrophic for other cities.
But for your Highness, this may not be necessary. "
After a pause, Xun Yu continued to smile and said: "The army outside is like a chicken, but the crossbow is too fierce and restricts us.
Now they dare not attack the city, and His Highness does not need to bother, so it is better to take the opportunity to develop internal affairs.
. "
Development at this time?
It's a big brainstorm.
"Military Master!"
Xu Chu stared at him and said, "We are all locked up in this city, how are we going to develop."
Xun Yu looked relaxed, and continued to smile: "Generals, let's look at the map first.
Hongyan City, with the plain to the south, is also the position guarded by the Qing State Army.
The cliffs on the west are natural barriers, of course, the east and north are also.
But look here.
If you cross the cliffs to the west and north, what do you think this is? "
"Black Forest Mountains!"
Xu Chu is subconsciously authentic.
Xun Yu nodded, and then said: "There are cliffs on three sides, and it is difficult for the army to enter and exit.
So this is a natural barrier, but for us, really?
I heard that the last time General Qin went down to pick three-leaf purple grass for the palace, he passed over the northern cliff. "
Qin Shiyuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I had the eighth-level cultivation base at that time, so it took a while and it passed."
"I see! The Qing army also carried various ordnance.
And because we are guarded, I dare not attack from here. "
Xu Chu said loudly, "But we don't need to bring any heavy weapons in and out. We have a lot of doctors and masters. We can all get out from here.
The barriers that the Qing State Army had no way to pass would have no effect on our children. "
"exactly!"
Xun Yu said, and then bowed to Yue Chen, "Now, please give your orders."
Yue Chen straightened his body and said lightly: "Gao Shun listened to the order, you will start from the west tomorrow morning, lead the camp to cross the cliff, harass the Qing Dynasty Army Food Road, do not, everything is safe, do not love war."
"I will obey!"
Gao Shun got up and prayed.
Yue Chen nodded, and then said: "Sun Shangxiang and Qin Shiyuan are ordered, you two led the guards, over the cliff from the north, into the dark forest, let me go hunting."
"hunting!"
The two were surprised.
Yue Chen said solemnly: "Yes, hunting, you are responsible for opening a channel to the north, and the prey obtained from the hunting will be transported back from the north.
When the time is right, I will organize the residents of the city to go hunting together. "
"Yes!"
The two replied.
"His Royal Highness, what about me!"
Xu Chu stood up and said.
Yue Chen stared at Xu Chu fiercely and shouted: "There are at least 40,000 soldiers outside the city. You are all gone. Do you want me to be captured alive?"
"Oh!"
Xu Chu scratched his head and smiled honestly.
Yue Chen said: "Mu Guiying continues to be responsible for the city's defense and guard against the enemy's small actions.
Last time someone was able to dig a tunnel out of it, now someone may dig a tunnel in from outside. "
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Mu Guiying bowed.
Yue Chen said: "Gather all the steel captured in this battle and put it in the warehouse. I will build the armor later. Tomorrow General Gaoshun will bring someone to collect it."
When everyone dispersed, the guard came to report: "Your Highness, Lan Ling'er, please see me."
The girl's face is still beautiful and moving, and she salutes Yue Chen's style.
"His Royal Highness, your red rock mine has been abandoned for too long. It's better, we start construction soon!"
Lan Ling'er knew what she was coming for.
"How much do you give me a day?"
Yue Chen asked, right now, Yue Chen has a huge demand for Hongyan Iron. If the troops are equipped with red rock armor, then the overall strength can undergo earth-shaking changes.
Lan Ling'er said: "His Royal Highness, Ling'er's authority is not very large, and the family has been notified. If the family cannot assist, Ling'er can guarantee that he can give you a thousand catties of red rock iron every day."
One thousand catties is equivalent to sixteen sets of armor, which is a bit less.
"Okay, go mine as soon as possible."
Yue Chen said to Lan Ling'er, "You tell your family and say, I can also buy the red rock iron that belonged to you in the early stage.
So don’t worry about sales.
How much do I buy. "
"With the words of Your Highness, Linger feels relieved."
Lan Ling'er hurriedly left.
The war between Qing Dynasty and Hongyan City caused a huge shock in surrounding countries.
Everyone thought that the Qing army's extermination of Yue country was a certainty.
The little Red Rock City is just a small spot on the map, and there are not many people paying attention.
No one thought that Yu Wenqing, who swept southeast of Yue State, the commander-in-chief of a military genius, would break his halberd in the small Hongyan City.
Eighty thousand troops killed more than 10,000 people and injured more than 20,000 people.
This was an extremely huge loss. After so many battles against Yue State, the number of casualties was almost the same.
All the high-levels, at this moment finally set their sights on Hongyan City and showed great interest in Hongyan City.
Hongyan City borders Anguo to the south.
In the palace garden of Anguo, King An Hongyi said to Prime Minister Shi Changsheng: "Shi Qing, you send someone to go there and tell Yue Chen that if he Hongyan City is willing to merge into Anguo, I will protect him.
One more reminder, otherwise, even if Qing Guo can't capture him, I, Anguo, will take his territory. "
"His Majesty!"
Shi Changsheng whispered, "You promised to celebrate the country, as long as they give you ten cities, you will just sit back and watch."
"Haha, unjust war in troubled times!"
The young An Hongyi glanced at Shi Changsheng coldly and said lightly, "I don't know why the prime minister wants to speak for Qing."
"The minister dare not!"
The prime minister hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the young majesty. This majesty was only in his twenties, but the sixty-year-old prime minister found that he was more and more afraid of him.
"Then go!
An Hongyi waved his hand.
After the prime minister retreated, An Hongyi turned and looked to the north, and suddenly grabbed his right hand. An extremely terrifying force appeared in the palm of his hand, but soon the power dissipated, and he whispered, "Trash Seven Princes, it's interesting!"
In the middle of Yue State, deep in the mountains and old forests, a gray-haired old man looked at a parchment scroll, his hands shaking more and more severely, and the old tears.
"Your Highness!"
The old man turned around and bowed to the southwest. "The minister did not expect that you are the hope of the Yue country. Hope the sky will bless you and make you live a long life."
"Old Xu, we Yue Guo, there is still hope."
A group of people came, there were old and young, they were all people who avoided the flames of war, there were former high-ranking officials, famous scholars from Yue State, and some famous warriors.
They are hiding here to accumulate strength in order to make a comeback.
