Fu Qing felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw Jun Mobai so gloomy and depressed.

   "My lord, shall we still stay in Yangcheng?"

  Jun Mobai said in a deep voice, "Why don't you stay? Yangcheng is the last city in my fief, and Yangcheng can't be lost anymore!"

   "But... that old fox Li Guangpu probably won't come to support us so early?" Since Li Guangpu has seen through their plan, he will definitely not take the initiative to send it to our door.

  Although Li Guangpu has the reputation of being a good general who protects the northern border of Great Liang, he is not a person who loves the people like a son. If Jun Mobai flees in a hurry, he probably will not send troops to support him.

  The new emperor dispersed his troops, and Lee Gwang-po could have used the integration of his troops as an excuse to delay support.

"It would be better if he didn't come. We brought 4,000 troops to Yangcheng, plus the people in Su Jingchen's hands, there are almost 5,000 people. Although we can't confront the barbarians head-on, we can still defend the city if we want to." tenable.

   You go out and ask Su Jingchen to come in! "Jun Mobai said, coughing up another mouthful of blood.

  Seeing this, Fu Qing was very worried, "My lord, let me discuss with Master Su about defending the city against the enemy, you should take good care of your body!"

  Jun Mobai looked at Fu Qing coldly, "I haven't done anything wrong yet, so you plan to not listen to me?"

  Fu Qing silently turned around and went out to call Su Jingchen in.

  Su Jingchen has already counted the troops brought by Jun Mobai. He didn't expect Jun Mobai to bring so many troops. Now he is more confident about defending the city.

  Knowing that Su Jingchen had set up all kinds of traps and obstacles at the city gate, Jun Mobai had no choice but to look at Su Jingchen, the number one scholar, differently.

   "I brought more than ten carts of grain and grass, you don't have to worry about the food, as long as you guard the city gates and prevent Hu Jun from breaking through, Li Guangpu will come to support sooner or later!

  I am like this now, and I can't participate in the defense of the city. The matter of defending the city is left to you and Fu Qing to discuss and fight together. "

   Not long after Jun Mobai finished his confession, he fell into a coma again.

  Fu Qing and Su Jingchen withdrew, told Jin Langzhong and Qi Yunfan to take good care of Jun Mobai, and went to the meeting hall together.

  In the conference hall, Fu Qing suggested that the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children in the city should be released from the south gate, so that the rest of the city would be elite soldiers, save more food, and better defend the city.

   "Release?" Su Jingchen frowned.

  It is said to be released, but in fact it is to be driven out, so that the homeless people will lose their last umbrella.

   "Master Fu, don't worry, the people of Yangcheng will not become a burden for us to defend the city!" The reason why Su Jingchen insisted on defending the city was to protect these people.

  If all these helpless people are driven out of the city, then what is the purpose of defending the city?

   "As far as I know, there is not much food left in the granary in Yangcheng County, and Mr. Su is giving out porridge to help the people every day. If this continues, even if the barbarians don't break the city and just besiege it, we will starve to death."

  Fu Qing now has no hope for Li Guangpu's reinforcements at all. The food they brought from Linzhou is limited. If the soldiers are given delicious food and drink every day, I am afraid that the more than ten carts of food can only last for a month.

Fu Qing wants to save food, Su Jingchen can understand, "Master Fu doesn't know something, my wife and I have a little private property, we can provide food for those people who can't make it, and we won't use the food in the county government's grain depot .”

  Fu Qing frowned. Ever since Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian came to Yangcheng, it can be said that they have been living under their noses. He is very clear about whether they have private property.

   "Private property? If I remember correctly, Mr. Su and Mrs. Ling's businesses are all in the south, right?"

   "I wonder if Master Fu has heard of Shanyue Bank?"

  Fu Qing was surprised, "Could it be that Shanyue Bank is the property of your husband and wife?"

  This Shanyue Bank is a rising star, but in just a few years, it has opened its semicolons to various counties in Daliang.

  He also inquired about the origin of Shanyue Bank, and only knew that the owner of the bank was called Mr. Shanyue. So Su Jingchen was actually Mr. Shanyue?

   No wonder Su Jingchen has the ability to subsidize the government with his own money.

   "Master Shanyue is my sworn brother." Su Jingchen smiled, and didn't reveal anything else.

  Fu Qing became respectful all of a sudden. Although he was a scholar, farmer, businessman, but the property of this Mr. Shanyue was said to be incomparably rich. Who would not want to know the mysterious Mr. Shanyue?

   Presumably the new emperor will treat Mr. Shanyue with three points of courtesy when he sees him!

   "Since that's the case, Master Su still has a lot of food?" Fu Qing was happy, as long as he had food, he could hold the city.

  Maybe, when the barbarians run out of food and grass, they will still open the city gates and chase them out!

   "Not much, I can only give the people some watery drinks.

  Master Fu, I think it is not the best policy to blindly defend the city. "Su Jingchen saw that Fu Qing had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

  In the past, Su Jingchen had no intention of confronting Hu Jun head-on, but now it is different. King Linzhou actually brought more than 4,000 people, so he is willing to confront Hu Jun head-on.

   "Lord Su, what's your opinion?" Ever since Fu Qing heard that Su Jingchen knew the richest man in Great Liang, he immediately changed his attitude.

   "Hu Jun has been advancing triumphantly all the way. I think the morale is high now. They think that we have fled in a hurry and dare not confront them head-on. They must be arrogant and neglect precautions.

  We have to do the opposite..."

  Su Jingchen spoke out his plan, and the more he talked, the more obvious the admiration on Fu Qing's face became.

  Finally, Fu Qing's eyes were bright, and he gave Su Jingchen a thumbs up.

  Loss, true loss!

   Oh no, high, really high!

  Fu Qing felt that he had really underestimated before. The bad water in the stomachs of these literati would rather offend soldiers than scholars.

  The literati, he's rotten!

  Jun Mobai's personal guards were sent out by Fu Qing to hunt down An Ning Anle, and Fu Qing had no one around for a while.

  For a surprise attack, you have to pick a few who are reliable and skilled. Fu Qing is very worried about manpower, but with more than 4,000 people, it is not difficult to pick dozens of good players.

  He has to choose well.

  Fu Qing was in charge of selecting the men for the surprise attack, while Su Jingchen approached Jin Langzhong and told him bluntly that he wanted poison.

  There is no separation between medicine and poison. Although Jin Langzhong didn't have any ready-made poison, he said he would make it, and told Su Jingchen that he had arsenic yellow in his shop, which was used for refining arsenic.

  However, he hid it tightly, in the dark compartment on the floor of his medicine hall, and Jin Langzhong said that it would be difficult for anyone else to find except himself.

  Su Jingchen called He Jian and asked him to accompany Jin Langzhong back to fetch arsenic yellow.

  Before Jin Langzhong left, he handed over the job of boiling medicine for King Linzhou to his daughter Jin Shuirou.

  Jin Shuirou guarded the casserole where the medicine was boiled, her eyes were fixed on the steam above the casserole, and her mind was full of thoughts.
