Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 300 City Tour
Zhu Xiuyuan said and glanced at Dong Shuyu quietly.

Their eyes met briefly, but Dong Shuyu already understood what Zhu Xiuyuan meant.

Therefore, Dong Shuyu also came over, took Dong Shuzhen's hand, and said, "Zhen'er, what Xiu Yuan said is not unreasonable. You are all gone. What should we do if someone breaks into Dong's mansion?"

Dong Shuzhen's big, bright eyes flickered, she glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan and then at Dong Shuyu.

Her expression began to hesitate, but she was not stupid, so she turned her head to look at the two elders Liu and Guan, and said, "Then you can ask the two elders Liu and Guan to stay at home."

The two elders Liu and Guan looked at each other and took a step back.

Forget it, it's better for them to avoid this "battle".

Zhu Xiuyuan quietly made eye contact with Dong Shuyu.

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Madam, please think about it. Elders Liu and Guan are men. It's really inappropriate to stay in the house to guard you. Madam, after thinking about your husband, I still feel that only you can do it." Worthy of this important task!”

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, Dong Shuyu added another word: "Zhen'er, just stay. If you all leave and leave me alone at home, my sister will be scared!"

Dong Shuzhen finally wavered. Under the scorching gazes of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu, she fluttered her big eyes, and finally said with great grievance: "Then... well, I will stay and guard the house..."

"Okay, that's good!" Zhu Xiuyuan touched Dong Shuzhen's head and said with a smile.

After taking care of Dong Shuzhen and simply grabbing a few mouthfuls of rice, Zhu Xiuyuan took the old beggar, Elder Liu, Elder Guan, and Yan Dashan, a total of five people, and got on their horses outside the gate of Dong's Mansion.

"Husband, please come back safely!" Dong Shuzhen leaned against her sister Dong Shuyu, waving with one hand and looking forward to it.

"Xiuyuan, pay attention to safety!" Dong Shuyu also shouted.

"Uncle, you must come back safely!" Qiu Wen and Xia Wu also shouted from behind.

Zhu Xiuyuan had already raised his whip and set off. On the horse's galloping away, Zhu Xiuyuan turned back slightly.

Looking at the door of the house, he only had time to say: "Don't worry, I will come back safely..."

Then the horse turned the corner and the sound of its hooves gradually disappeared.

Completely gone.

Dong Shuzhen stared blankly at the direction where her husband disappeared, and suddenly burst into tears, leaning against Dong Shuyu, her two fragrant shoulders trembled, and she couldn't make a sound.

……

Jiangzhou City wall, north gate.

Zhu Xiuyuan also put on a set of armor, all white, and wore a red cloak. As he walked around, the red cloak moved in the wind, making a hunting sound, and he looked full of itching.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked back and forth on the city wall, inspecting the preparations.

Rolling stones, wood, bows and arrows, ash bottles, etc. are all ready, and the soldiers defending the city have been assigned in place.

Yan Dashan, Elder Liu, and Elder Guan followed Zhu Xiuyuan's movements.

Follow him and protect him closely.

As for the old beggar, he was lying on his back on the roof of the tower with a huge wine gourd in his arms, and from time to time he took out a chicken leg from his bosom... very happy.

After inspecting the preparations on the city wall, Zhu Xiuyuan walked around again, inspecting everywhere.

Inspect key material storage warehouses, such as granaries, armories, and warehouses storing city defense tools.

Rolling stones, wood, bows and arrows, ash bottles, fire oil, etc. were piled up in the warehouse. However, Zhu Xiuyuan was not satisfied and sent people around to collect all kinds of materials.

After a round of inspection, it was already an hour later.

Returning to the northern city wall again, he leaned against the battlements, holding on to the weathered and bumpy parapet with both hands, and gazed into the distance.

Not far ahead is the rolling Yangtze River.

Looking from the city wall, you can see the waves blooming and the waves remain the same.

However, there was no ship on the river. It was quiet and very clean.

In the distance, the north bank of the Yangtze River is vaguely distinguishable, but with the naked eye alone, you can't tell why.Therefore, there was no way to discover Yan Jun's movements earlier.

If the Yan army wants to invade the border of Chen State, it must first cross the river.

However, Chen Guo's navy basically gathered near the capital.

In remote counties like Jiangzhou, there are not many naval forces on the river.

There were some camps in Jiangzhou, but they were all taken to Shaozhou by King Poyang.

As for the defenders of Jiangzhou City, there are only 300 who can go into battle to kill the enemy.

There are [-] generals from Prince Poyang's Palace, [-] soldiers from Prefecture and Yazhou, [-] generals from Prince Zhenze's Palace, and [-] Prince Guards.

The prince's guard originally had one thousand, but he left five hundred at the Yamen's house in Nazhou to protect the prince, so there were only five hundred to support the defense of the city.

In addition, there are some government officials from the state government and Xunyang County government. These people are barely available.

Further down, there are the civilian husbands who have been recruited, but if the civilian husbands go to the battlefield, they will die...

There were also those civilians who were not afraid of death, howling and screaming, wanting to defend Jiangzhou to the death. Zhu Xiuyuan gathered them together and conducted assault drills...

At least you need to know how to cut someone with a knife, how to stab someone with a gun, etc.

This is the reserve force.

If the situation really gets beyond control, then these warriors can only be sent into battle...

Therefore, there are not enough soldiers to defend the city in Jiangzhou, so it is even more impossible to send people to defend the river.

The Yan army can directly cross the river and go straight to Jiangzhou City!

"Hey!"

Zhu Xiuyuan gently patted the weathered parapet on the city wall and thought to himself: "It would be much more convenient if I had a telescope. At least I can observe the situation on the other side of the Yangtze River from a distance."

But Zhu Xiuyuan also knew in his heart that with the current situation, it would be difficult to even make glass, not to mention telescopes!
So Zhu Xiuyuan sighed.

But the one who sighs has no intention, but the one who hears the sigh has intention.

Nayan Dashan had been following Zhu Xiuyuan. Hearing Zhu Xiuyuan's sigh, he misunderstood his meaning.

I thought he was sighing because of the current situation...

Needless to say, the situation in Jiangzhou is dangerous.

Therefore, Yan Dashan explained: "Don't sigh, my benefactor. If something cannot be done, the villain will definitely fight to the death and fight his way out to save the benefactor's life!"

Zhu Xiuyuan said what Dashan said so seriously and so heavily that it affected morale, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will persevere until the end! We survived the last natural disaster, and we can do the same this time." Get through it!”

"Well said, I wish you to be safe in the face of danger, and you are still in the mood to joke. It seems that you are absolutely sure?"

At some point, the old beggar quietly came behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

He smelled of alcohol and was holding a big chicken leg in his hand.

He laughed loudly and stared at him with a strange look.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart was moved, his eyes were fixed, and his heart was so fast!

He never noticed when the old beggar came.

It seems that just now he caught a glimpse of the old beggar lying on the roof of the city tower...

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked and couldn't help but look at Yan Dashan's expression.
