Chapter 105 Sounding the Alarm
Yang Yichuan is busy every day. In addition to staying in his room making heaters, he also runs to the ironworks. After all, he also has to make the shell of the heater, which is definitely indispensable.

Time passed so quickly, Yang Yichuan almost forgot the passage of time, but Li Ru couldn't.Li Ru now often goes to the farmlands outside Xihe City to see the wind blowing the wheat waves, the plump ears of wheat are the lifeblood of the people.The aroma of the ripe rice made Li Ru intoxicated even more. It was time for the autumn harvest. In fact, the autumn harvest could be done now. Of course, it could be done a few days later.

Li Ru planned to wait until tomorrow to organize the officials of Xihe City to go to the villages near Xihe City to organize the people to harvest wheat.

"It's really a harvest season." Li Ru smiled contentedly, but also had some hidden worries.

Because Xihe City received a letter from Dingsha City, General He Chu said that the people of Beiyuan have changed recently.Several tribes near Xihe Prefecture seem to be ready to move, and there are not only these tribes, but also the leader of the grassland royal court seems to have sent some elites.

In other words, this year's movement seems to be bigger than last year, with tribesmen and elite leaders.This is not a good thing for Xihe City or even Xihe State. Li Ru is not worried about Xihe City.But in other cities and farmland villages outside the city, Li Ru knew that they might be invaded by Beiyuan people.

"Hey, damn Beiyuan people. It's better to hurry up and urge the people to harvest the wheat. It's really not possible. Xihe City can still accommodate many people. The Xicheng District has completed all reconstructions, and now most of the places are empty. There are too many people. not enough."

Li Ru, who returned to the city, did not go back to the government, but came to Yang Yichuan's mansion.Li Ru came here once before, but Yang Yichuan was doing something inexplicable, almost crazy.However, Yang Yichuan also handed over these matters to Li Ru, and now Li Ru can also be said to report.

"Your Highness."

"Well, Mr. Li is here, just talk about anything."

"It's time for the autumn harvest. I plan to gather the people to harvest the wheat tomorrow, but it still takes some time to harvest and dry the wheat."

"Here, I'm afraid there is not much time left for us. We have received a report that a group of Beiyuan cavalry should have crossed the border and entered the territory of Xihe Prefecture. The exact number is not yet known, but these cavalry are very concealed. Probably just a small group of cavalry."

Li Ru also knew that even a small group of cavalry should not be underestimated.The small number means that the mobility is also strong. If you don't attack the city and only harass the surrounding people, it will be too much trouble and you will lose a lot.

"Only a small batch?"

"It's not sure yet. The scouting teams of the Xiao Family Army and Xihe Army have already carried out scouting outside Xihe City. Personally, I feel that there should be more than this small group. It is very likely that they are just vanguards, or they are here to scout the situation."

Li Ru also nodded, "Well, it's very possible that people in Beiyuan are greedy by nature and took advantage of it last year. It makes no sense to be afraid this year. So I can only plan bigger things and invest more here. To seek more rewards. Therefore, for the sake of caution, first send people in to investigate the situation."

"Not only that, the people of Beiyuan will definitely find ways to contain the Dingsha army. Without the Dingsha army, Xihe Prefecture is a piece of fat for the people of Beiyuan. Among these meats, the taste of Xihe City must be the best. , It’s okay if they don’t come, if they come, I’ll let them lie down and go back.”

Others can hide things like artillery, but Li Ru can't.Li Ru knew the power of artillery, and now the total number of artillery has reached 20, and there are 5 artillery on the wall of each city gate.Although not concentrated enough, it can still exert greater lethality.

Moreover, there is still some time before the real soldiers of the Northern Plains come to the city, and it is estimated that two or three cannons can be built.As for the shells and gunpowder, there is no problem, and they are already well prepared.

"Your Highness, I don't know how many troops the Northern Plains people will send this time. I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle."

"I'm not afraid of the number of people from Beiyuan coming this time. If there were only a few people from the City Guard Army and the Xihe Army, I wouldn't dare to say anything, but there are still 5000 Xiao's troops. They have been living in Xihe City and trained for so long. When the time comes It will definitely work.”

"Since His Highness has made a plan, just discuss this matter with General Lin Tu and Xiao Muxue and Xiao Muyuan. I am still responsible for urging the people to harvest the autumn harvest."

"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Li. We will keep an eye on the matter here. Once we find any traces of people from Beiyuan, we will notify Mr. Li immediately."

"By the way, Your Highness, there are many vacant places in Xicheng District and other districts. I think, if people from Beiyuan come, can we arrange to hide in the city first?"

"Of course, Xihe City is also a big city, but now it is only about half full. There are some empty places and houses to live in, but arrangements must be made. You can directly bring food into the city after harvesting, and many living in the city. It can be done in the city too.”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will try my best to ensure the safety of the people in the surrounding villages."

"I trust Master Li."

Li Ru left, and after a while, Lin Tu came. After Lin Tu came, it was natural that Lin Tu and Xiao's siblings would take the lead in discussing the matter of facing the Beiyuan people.

In a forest two days' journey away from Xihe City, a reconnaissance team of the Xiao Family Army rested temporarily here.They have been out of the city for seven days. If they stay for another three days, a replacement team will come to investigate the area.

"Hasn't Taozi returned from fetching water?"

"not yet."

"Then wait for him for a while. Taozi is usually relatively stable. How could he be so slow this time?"

"Could it be something happened?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere of the five-member team was not quite right. Now they were investigating whether there were people from Beiyuan near Xihe City. If something happened, it was most likely the people from Beiyuan.

"Be careful, approach the direction where Taozi fetches water, and pay attention to scouting. Once you encounter an ambush, you can escape one by one, and you must bring the news back."

"Yes."

Several people clenched the swords in their hands and headed towards the direction that the member named Taozi was going to fetch water.After a while, there was rustling in front, the sound of someone running and stepping on fallen leaves.

"Pay attention to concealment and be vigilant."

After a while, a person wearing the same clothes as them appeared in front of the four of them.

"It's Taozi."

"Come out, but don't let your guard down."

The investigator named Tao Zi was still breathing, and he couldn't wait to speak, "Captain, there is something wrong. I found traces of the Beiyuan people."

The eyes of the captain and the other three people widened. This is not only a credit, but also a sign that a war is coming.

"Have you looked carefully?"

"Yes, I just arrived at the river, but I found a horseshoe print. This horseshoe print is a little bigger than ours. It is a horse from the Northern Plains, and there are a lot of them. I followed the horseshoe prints and searched a little bit. I took a few glances from a distance and found that there were about 2000 people."

"Are there only 2000 people? Taozi, take us back and investigate carefully. If the situation is true, you, Taozi, will go back to the city first and inform His Royal Highness Chuan and the commander."

After the reconnaissance by the reconnaissance team, the traces and approximate number of the Beiyuan people were indeed confirmed. This discovery proved the arrival of the Beiyuan people and sounded the alarm for the Beiyuan people to attack.
