The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

When the wind of war spread to the three cities of Shou'an, Sheng Yuan discovered that the usual intrigues were nothing compared to the cruelty of war.

Even before the secret message she sent to the capital was delivered, the contacts arranged by Princess Yongping in Shouning City evacuated and returned to the capital.

As for whether Princess Yongping is among those people, it's hard to say.

"The last letter sent by Pu Nai mentioned that Princess Yongping sent people to Nurhan many times, and she seemed to be interested in establishing a relationship with Queen Jina." Sheng Yuan stood on the tower and looked in the direction of the battlefield, with everything in sight. Instead, there were groups of people helping the old and the young to leave.

"Queen Jina is not tempted?" An Yu looked at the crowd with a monocular.

"The people in Nurhan are a little reckless, but they are not stupid. No matter how big and delicious the pancakes are, they will never be able to eat them, right?" Sheng Yuan had heard at some point that the spy of the inner security was stirring up trouble in Nurhan. Deeds.

Anyu moved the telescope and smiled at Shengyuan: "Princess Yongping's hand was folded in again?"

Sheng Yuan: "..."

Somehow, hearing him say this, Sheng Yuan felt absurd but funny.

"I can only say that the regent of Nurhan, Trust, who is hostile to Chu and despises the people of the Central Plains, is great."

Otherwise, they would still have to worry about Princess Yongping getting on the line with Trust.

Having mentioned Princess Yongping once, Anyu and Shengyuan didn't mention her much anymore. After all, the other party was already far away from the battlefield, so there was no need to waste time on this person.

So they talked about the war and the three cities of Shou'an: "It's okay to have troops guarding Shouping City, but it's just that in Shouning City... Princess Yongping's people have withdrawn, and the people in the city are even less restrained. I'm afraid that those who flee the city will more and more."

"I wonder if the people here in Shou'an City will be swayed. If they follow them and leave their hometown, our city will be even more difficult to defend." Anyu muttered silently, hoping that the people in the Mansion would not know about Shou'an City too early. thing.

"But that's not necessarily the case. Most of the people who can help defend the city are those who are unable to leave their homeland. They can temporarily comfort themselves because the flames of war can't reach them. At the critical moment, they may not be able to help defend their homeland."

Sheng Yuan put it simply, but Anyu wished he could build the city tower higher, at least out of sight and out of trouble!

To this end, he even consulted some craftsmen. It’s just that An Yu, who is busy confirming the construction drawings at the moment, doesn’t know that he will soon no longer have to think hard about how to calm the people.

"I have something to report! Mr. Shengfu, I sent a letter from the front saying that the people fleeing Shou Ning City were robbed by bandits near the Luodu Mountains, thirty miles away the day before yesterday!" After receiving the letter, the government clerk put it down. He put on his clothes and hurriedly looked for Shengyuan.

"Oh?" Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, "How is the personnel situation?"

She remembered the Luodu Mountains near the border, which stretched across the boundaries of three provinces and was known as the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains".

There are many bandits in the mountains.

Before Sheng Yuan took office, one item on his self-made to-do list was to personally suppress bandits and eliminate troubles!

It's just that when she first arrived in Shou'an City, there were so many things that required her attention that even an energetic person like Sheng Yuan couldn't take care of them for the time being.

She didn't care about suppressing bandits in the past. In fact, most of the reason was that she didn't want to waste energy on minor matters.

After all, the gangsters near the Luodu Mountains are very cunning and rarely fight with others head-on. Even if they really get angry, the gangsters in the mountains will still slip away very quickly with grease on their feet when they see that the situation is not good.

In such a vast mountain range, the gangsters have penetrated into it. Even if Sheng Yuan has horns on his head, there is no way to settle the matter with them.

"Hui Fu Zun, the main force of the strong resistance in the crowd were all killed by the bandits. The old and weak were beaten and driven away after their money was robbed. Only women and young children who could not remember what happened were taken back to the mountains by them."

"That's unreasonable!" Anyu heard that his hair was about to explode, "Sooner or later, I will lead people to level the place!"

Sheng Yuan was not as emotional as him. First, he asked people to spread the matter to all the prefectures, prefectures and counties, so that the people in the whole city must be aware of it.

Then, he unfolded the map and wandered around Ajong's attack route and the Luodu Mountains.
