Doomsday foresight

Jinxi stewed a large pot of fish with homemade soy sauce, a silver carp head weighing seven to eight catties, and a smaller mandarin fish with bream and mandarin fish. He took a big pan and baked some cakes. He estimated that Jiang Chen would come over as soon as he called Ye Ke, and even if he didn't come, he could bring these cakes to Jiang Chen.

Sure enough, Ye Ke and a few of his confidants came over.

"The one who came just happened to help me set up the table." Jin Xi kept turning the cakes in the pan with his hands.

"It's really fragrant." Ye Kenu twitched his nose.

Put the table in the middle of the room, there are some scorched marks on the table, remove the table in the middle, there is a place for the stove, Jinxi put a few pieces of charcoal into the iron stove Put it in and put the big pot directly on it, so that you can roast the fire while eating, and the fish in the pot will taste better when you cook it slowly.At the end of the meal, the little soup left in the pot was soaked into cakes. This way of eating has become popular in Yecheng. There are stewed meat or squatting cabbage and potatoes in the pot. People linger.

After dinner, Jiang Chen took a few people to tidy up and sat on the Westing Kang to discuss going out tomorrow. Wolves are not easy to mess with, especially when food is scarce in winter.

"Go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow." Jinxi spread out the bedding, Niuniu moved to the top of the kang, the quilt was pulled down on her body, the little guy was a little hot, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"En." Jiang Chen sat on the edge of the kang and dried his hair, looked at Jinxi, "I told Sixth Grandma that if there is a child who informs us next year, we both will adopt one."

Jin Xi stopped his hands and looked at Jiang Chen, "Forget it and wait, there may be a war in a year or two."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's okay, there are no hot weapons, and we are not afraid of a war relying on personal force, not to mention that I have seen the terrain, we have an advantage, the worst is to be beaten back, Yecheng is fine, Ye The city is always safe and secure.” He knew that Jinxi liked children very much, Niu Niu and Dongdong were very fond of him, originally living with his grandparents, Jinxi was looking forward to Dongdong, after all, he was his nephew, but Ye Zi was not a Generous, once or twice Jinxi will fade away, and liking is limited.

So it's better for them to raise one by themselves, no one has to worry about it.

Jinxi thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine, let the sixth grandma take care of it." The sixth grandma is in charge of the nursery.It's right to find her.

The next morning when Jiang Chen left, it was still dark and the snow outside had stopped. Jinxi sent Jiang Chen away and didn’t sleep anymore. Before the child woke up, he went to the kitchen to clean up the fish. There are a lot of fish, enough for them to eat until the New Year. The packed fish is divided into portions according to how much they eat, and they are frozen and taken to the lower room in the east.

After twisting around, the elder and the younger had breakfast, and Jinxi played with her for a while, seeing that the sky was fine and there was no wind, she dressed the children and went out to play for a while. There is a large square in front of the City Lord's Mansion to cool down here. Igloos, ice sculptures, and some ice slides and other places for children to play have been established, because people in Yecheng like to get together here, and many activities in winter are also here.

Although the weather is cold, in order to let the children adapt to the weather, the children in Yecheng will be taken out by their families in the second year after birth. Under the care of the adults, the children grow up very healthy, and the children who grow up in this way have strong frost resistance ability. very strong.

Jinxi took Niuniu to play on the big slide, which made the little girl laugh happily.

"Play again and play again." Niuniu raised her hands and yelled loudly.

"Let's play again." Jinxi pulled up the scarf for the child, and was about to walk to the other side while holding it. Before reaching the stairs, his head suddenly became dizzy, and then a vision suddenly appeared in front of him. The city wall of Yecheng suddenly appeared A lot of people in white cloaks appeared densely by the south gate. These people joined forces to open the gate and occupied the outer city of Yecheng. The inner city was also resisting, but there were not many people on the city wall.

"Father Jinxi, slippery——" Niuniu suddenly pulled Jinxi with her hand, and Jinxi woke up from the illusion. This is not an illusion, but a scene from the future.

Jinxi frowned, and then restored her smile, "Niuniu play again, Jinxi's father will take you to the place of grandpa and grandma, who will make delicious cakes, niuniu go to eat cakes, okay? play with my brother."

"Okay, eat cake." Niu Niu was a little hungry after playing for a while, and she was very happy when she talked about cake. "

Jinxi hurriedly took the child to skate again, and then returned to the grandparents' house with the child, without saying anything, just let them take Niuniu.Only grandparents and Yingzi's sister-in-law were left at home with a few children, and even Sheng Nan went out to fish.

Jin Xi went out and ran back to the City Lord's Mansion. These days, Ye Qiu and the others were working in the East Wing of the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Ye Qiu—" Jinxi looked at what Ye Qiu was writing as soon as he entered the door. There were a lot of notebooks on the table, and there were a few young people beside him helping to record.

Hearing Jinxi's cry, Ye Qiu raised his head, then his expression changed as he thought of something, he stood up and went out the door.

"What's the matter? What did you see!" Although the words were doubtful, they were somewhat certain.

Jin Xi nodded, "I saw someone attacking Yecheng, and the outer city of Yecheng was captured. There were a lot of people, I guess there were at least 5000 people. The equipment was very good." Jin Xi simply described.

"Can you confirm what time it is?" Ye Qiu asked.

Jinxi shook his head, "I can't be sure, but it was in the morning. I can't be sure about the specifics at the earliest." He only saw steam rising from the brigade headquarters in the inner city, where there was a large kitchen, which was in charge of the childcare Institutions, nursing homes and other places, but there will only be such a big steam when the water is boiled in the morning, and the steam will not be so big at noon and night.

"I'm going to ask someone to find Jiang Chen and the fishing team. Now most of the city guards have gone out. There are only more than 5000 people left in the city, and the city guards are only a thousand."

Jin Xi was stunned for a moment, "Why is there only one thousand left?" This number is too small.

Ye Qiu smiled wryly, "It's not that the goods received yesterday were quite large. There are still a lot of fish in Qixing Lake and Shuiyudian. We just want to get them back at once. It is convenient for the city guards to guard them. Even if we go out for five days at most. Come back and do anything."

Although Jinxi heard Zhang Cheng talk about this matter yesterday, he didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect that the whole city would be mobilized "No, our city guard army has a charter, and when we mobilize, we dispatch them in batches. How could it be such a coincidence." He thought again, "Even if there are 1000 people guarding the city, the city gates are not easy to open this season, but what I saw was that those people have already entered the outer city."

"You mean there are traitors in the city?" Ye Qiu said, and then his expression changed, "His grandma's."

Jin Xi stared, "Do you know who it is?"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Ninety-nine are inseparable. Let's split up and tell the inner city to gather quietly. I'll go to the guards. Solve the internal problems first."

Jin Xi nodded with a serious face, "Send reliable people to find Jiang Chen. He brought out [-] good hands this time. If they come back, the effect will be better. Qixing Lake and Shui Yudian will also go to people."

"I know." Ye Qiu replied.

The two exchanged a few words, and then separated to inform reliable people.

"They're coming." Jin Xi looked into the distance with a telescope. It was just dawn at this time, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see the moving figures in the distance. These people were wearing white cloaks for sneak attack.

"There are so many people here." Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, "This time, they will definitely come and go."

Jin Xi nodded, he didn't expect the war in Yecheng to start so soon.

Defending the city is easier than besieging the city. The weather is so cold. The people of Yecheng directly use water pumps to pump water from the river around the city wall and spray it out. The weather is so bad, the whole person froze immediately and how to attack the city.

When the siege team saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, they retreated to the safety line and started long-range shots. Unfortunately, their long-range attack crossbows had a much lower range than their defense crossbows.Another round of attacks, they can only retreat and retreat.It's a pity that their rear also missed.Jiang Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, led his troops to attack from behind.

The battle ended quickly, and more than 3000 people were finally captured.There were more than a dozen casualties in Yecheng, and the results of the battle were relatively rich.

Jiang Chen entered the city with a cold face, and looked at Jinxi before his expression softened, but soon he looked at the traitors tied to icicles in the outer city square, or called them spies, because these people were originally They are not from Yecheng.

This battle of defending the city looked very easy, but it was very dangerous when examined carefully.

The thing started when they went to the trade fair. At that time, Yecheng gained the leadership of the entire Northeast region, and many small bases came to seek refuge. The first to seek refuge was Qianbao Town, which had 5000 people. This number was about the same as before Yecheng expanded. They were still a little wary of relying on Jinxi and Jiang Chen, but when they came back, they visited Qianbao Town and found no hostility from them.

After returning to Yecheng, many small bases in the Northeast began to settle in Yecheng. Perhaps Yecheng has plenty of food and a stable life. Although there are some frictions, they will be resolved quickly. Most people are willing to live a stable life. After all, these people used to They all live in peaceful societies, and there are very few truly ambitious people.

They attach great importance to Qianbao Town, but Qianbao Town has always used the winter storage as an excuse to not let those old and young transfer here. Yecheng was also busy at that time, and did not pay much attention, not to mention that Jiang Chen will open next spring according to the original plan. The city guards will be sent to Qianbao Town, and it will not be too late to let the people from Qianbao Town come over at that time.

Before the snowfall, Qianbao Town sent people to deliver a batch of supplies, and sent over a hundred people at the same time, meaning to stand in front of the town and plan where the people of Qianbao Town will live in the future. Because Jiang Chen and the others valued it, they specially allocated a piece of land on the west side of the outer city. The place is given to the town of Moneyburg.

Some of these people belonged to the original leadership of Qianbao Town. Even if Yecheng was on guard, their treatment was very good, and a few of them even helped manage the work. They say a lot, and they can achieve the effect only by beating the side drums next to them.

And after Ye Qiu's investigation, more than 50 of these people are experts in Qianbao Town, and they opened the city gate when the battle started.

Half of the people who attacked Yecheng were from Qianbao Town, and the remaining half were people from their several bases in Jingxi. According to their agreement, Qianbao Town can have the control of Yecheng after defeating Yecheng, and the Jingxi base They also need to provide them with a large number of weapons, and what they need to pay is half of the territory of the Northeast.
