When the canine emperor meets the wolf regent

The fire burned all night, until the sky turned pale, and Yun Sheng ordered everyone to put out the fire.

There were locust corpses all around, Yun Sheng asked the people to release all the chickens and ducks that had been prepared, and devoured the locusts on the ground with big mouthfuls.

Although the people have not slept all night, they are still full of energy at this moment, and they have stepped forward to do what they can.

Although this ingenious plan failed to solve all the pest plagues, it also gave people hope. Presumably, if they persist in this way for a few days, there will always be a day when the problem will be completely solved.

Xie Yangui and Yun Sheng didn't dare to stop for a moment, and arranged all the personnel under their hands.

Some people went to cut firewood to prepare firewood for the night, and some people led the villagers to turn over the ground and burn insect eggs to avoid another flood of insects in the coming year.

After a few days of busy work, Yun Sheng visibly lost weight.

Xie Yangui and Yun's family were so distressed that they forced him to go back and rest for two days, but he refused.

The more difficult this time is, the more Yun Sheng wants to stay with Xie Yangui.

The emperor paid off. After more than a month of hard work, there were very few locusts flying all over the sky. The few remaining locusts could be caught by casting nets and burned together.

The next thing they faced was the shortage of food. After this disaster, the people in several cities would not have enough to eat for the next whole year.

Xie Yangui sent a letter to Feige to ask the emperor for an order, imploring the food-rich cities all over the country to support and rescue Yangzhou.

The emperor attached great importance to this matter, and immediately assigned the nearby state city to rush to Yangzhou to support with grain and grass.

In the following days, Yun Sheng and Xie Yangui only need to distribute the remaining food and wait for the relief food from the cities and states to arrive.

However, due to unexpected events, Xie Yangui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, received a border battle report.

The Turks led the attack and were about to reach the foot of Yanzhou.

When the news arrived, Yun Sheng and the two were very shocked.

Yanzhou is in the northernmost part of Qing Kingdom, less than half a month's walk from Yangzhou City. Because there are not many fertile fields near Yanzhou, the locusts did not stay there for long this time, but the people also lost a lot.

The Turks came to commit crimes at this time, most likely because they also suffered from locust plagues and came to Qing to rob food.

Yanzhou and Yangzhou have just suffered such natural disasters, there is not much food and grass left, and the guarding soldiers can't eat enough to eat. Under such circumstances, the enemy's attack is definitely not good news...

On the night Xie Yangui received the news, he arranged the follow-up matters in Yangzhou and rushed to Yanzhou, and Yun Sheng naturally went with him.

The two arrived in Yanzhou ten days later with the accompanying guards and half of the elite soldiers from Yangzhou.

Sure enough, as the news said, the Turks had arrived at the foot of Yanzhou City, and the leader was Qi Kejun, a Turkic general.

When Yun Sheng and others arrived, Qi Kejun was leading people to shout and curse at the city, saying that if they did not hand over the grain and grass for twenty carriages within ten days, they would definitely destroy the entire Yanzhou City.

Right now, Qing Kingdom may not have enough food for itself, so how can there be any surplus food to distribute to them?

The shameless demands of the Turks annoyed the city lord guarding Yanzhou at this time.

Yanzhou currently only has [-] soldiers, but the opponent has a full [-] soldiers. If a war is imminent, the only way to survive is to defend.

After Xie Yan returned, he met with the city lord to discuss the plan against the enemy.

Standing on the city wall, Yun Sheng looked at the Turkic camped in the distance, her red lips were tightly pursed, and her brows were involuntarily frowned.

With so many people on the other side, they can only defend to the death.

Fortunately, Yanzhou's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they can wait for the arrival of reinforcements and food, it will be much easier to repel these people.

Yun Sheng looked around, and finally set his sights on the dense forest on the east side of Yanzhou...

At night, Yun Sheng and Yun Sheng were lying on the bed talking.

Xie Yan attributed to Bai Ri a thorough understanding of the severity of the crisis in Yanzhou, so he mentioned to Yun Sheng the idea of ​​letting him return to Beijing first.

Yun Sheng had expected that Xie Yangui would make such a decision,

Whenever there was a danger before, Xie Yangui always wanted to send him away.

Yun Sheng sat up annoyed, poked Xie Yangui with her hand, and said unhappily: "You want to send me away again? What? This time, aren't you afraid that I'll spend all day by my mother's side and miss you?"

Xie Yangui's lower abdomen was being teased again and again, which made his heart itch.

He grabbed Yun Sheng's fidgety hand, pulled it to his lips and kissed it lightly, then hugged him into his arms, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Sheng'er, I dare not risk your safety, you know, if you If anything happens, I'd rather die."

"Why am I not?" Yun Sheng hid in his neck and replied in a low voice.

"Don't drive me away again, I won't be happy."

Xie Yangui sighed,

"The situation this time is more severe than expected. The food and grass in the city can at most last half a month for the current soldiers.

And Yangzhou, which is the closest to here, is too busy to take care of itself. If you want to wait for food and grass from other places, it will take at least 20 more days, Shenger, I am not sure that the Turkic people will wait until then..."

After hearing this, Yun Sheng's heart sank gradually, he frowned and asked,

"Do the Turks have food and grass?"

Xie Yangui shook his head,

"Since ten days are given, presumably their food and grass are only enough to support the army for more than ten days."

After hearing this, Yun Sheng pondered for a moment, recalling the dense forest that he saw on the city wall during the day, and said, "Husband, I'm going to the dense forest in the east of the city."

Xie Yangui was startled when he heard about it, and looked at him puzzled: "Dense forest? Why do you want to go there?"

Yun Sheng blinked, then smiled suddenly,

"Husband, have you forgotten that I can communicate with those beasts?"

After Xie Yanguijing reminded him, he remembered that his baby had such a special skill, and a look of surprise appeared on his face,

"You mean...to find the beast in the woods?"

"That's right." Yun Sheng nodded, and told him his plan: "I asked the people in the city during the day, there are many ferocious beasts in the forest, and I often hear the cry of wolves at night in summer." There was a long whistle.

Except for the more courageous hunters, no one dared to enter that forest, so they were not sure what kind of beasts were hidden there.

If I can go in and seek the help of those ferocious beasts, it will surely delay me for some time. "

Xie Yangui squeezed Yun Sheng's hand in disapproval upon hearing this,

"No. Those ferocious birds and beasts are different from docile cats and dogs. How could they be easily ordered by you? I can't let you take risks."

Yun Sheng didn't expect to persuade him at once, so he was not surprised to hear Xie Yangui's objection, but just leaned in front of him,

Kissed again, and said coquettishly: "That's why I said to let you accompany me, what do I have to be afraid of when you are here?"

After Xie Yangui heard about it, his expression did not change, nor did his attitude change.

Seeing him like this, Yun Sheng narrowed her beautiful eyes, then suddenly stretched out her hand to hold it, bent down and bowed her head...
