Jiangjie City.

As the main city of Yi Mansion, it is also a city standing on the fertile plain of land, and is close to the Yalu River and has convenient water transportation.

Jiangjie City was originally very prosperous.

However, Goguryeo restricted its trade with Liaodong by itself, and could only force merchants to go to sea trade and send Goguryeo specialties to Chu State or Fusang.

The risk at sea is too great. If the trouble is not good, the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed.

Ordinary businessmen cannot bear such losses. This has led to a decline in commercial activities in Goguryeo and a decline in prosperity in Jiangjie City.

To be an enemy of Liaodong, for Goguryeo, both sides suffered a loss.

However, Goguryeo has a smooth sea trade and is twice as large as Liaodong. A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Jiangjie City is still densely populated and very prosperous.

There were countless pedestrians on the street, and there were endless carriages and horses, mostly nobles wearing silk, satin, riding or taking cars.

There are a wide range of shops on both sides.

Hawkers were hawking along the streets, bustling and noisy.

Its city wall is very wide and the city gate tower is majestic. As long as there are elite soldiers guarding the city, it will be as solid as a god.

"Dadadada!!!" A fast horse rushed from the north and entered Jiangjie City along the avenue. The knight on the horse was sweating heavily and looked panicked.

He didn't care about the densely populated streets and rushed around. Many people were scolded. When he arrived at the government office, he rolled and crawled off his horse.

The yamen runner who was guarding the gate thought it was a gangster, so he pulled out the steel knife from his waist to serve him.

The cavalry had exhausted their energy and lay on the ground panting, saying intermittently: "I. I am a yamen runner in Chongming County."

"Wu Nian's army crossed the Yalu River and rushed straight to Jiangjie City along the avenue."

"Hurry. Take me to see the prefect."

"What did you say?" The yamen runner's face changed drastically, and then the two yamen runners rushed to raise cavalry and entered the county yamen.

After seeing the prefect Zhang Chonglou, the cavalry were dragged away.

In the living room, Zhang Chonglou sat in the main seat with a dull face, speechless for a long time. He was 39 years old and from a famous family. He grew up reading sages and took the serious imperial examination route and passed the Jinshi as he wished.

Because of his outstanding ability and integrity in office, he was gradually promoted to the prefect.

He had no experience in military affairs and had no fantasy. He just wanted to go further and return to the court by becoming an official and becoming an important official.

Wu Nian crossed the river and attacked the Jiangjie Mansion. To him, it seemed that he had received a thunder attack, three souls and seven spirits, and one soul and three spirits flew.

"The tigers in Liaodong are not ordinary people. They come with hatred, so I cannot be lucky. The disaster of the destruction of the country is right in front of me. I want to cheer up."

Zhang Chonglou reached out and patted his cheek, causing the flying soul and three spirits to return to their positions, and cheered up his spirits. Then he stood up and walked out of the house, and said to the yamen runner who looked frightened at the door: "Go to Qujiang Camp immediately and ask Zhuge Wu to lead his troops into the city."

"Close the city gate immediately, the people are not allowed to enter or leave."

"Gather all the yamen runners to prepare to defend the city."

"yes."

Although the yamen runners were panicked, they still took down one by one and left in response.

Zhang Chonglou took a deep breath and calmed down a little. Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng were responsible for training 50,000 soldiers.

Most of them are concentrated in the capital, and a few are scattered in the local area. They are mainly in grain-producing areas where they can eat grain in nearby cities.

Qujiang Daying is located fifty miles east of Jiangjie City.

General Zhuge Wu had 3,000 soldiers. It would take at least four or five hours to send the news to Zhuge Wu to lead his troops to the city.

It's just nightfall.

Before this, I must keep it.

"Go to find Li Tianyang, Zhangqiushan, Zhu Yunjun... gather the officials in the city. Immediately." Zhang Chonglou turned to another yamen runner and reported many names in one breath before he breathed a breath.

"Yes." The yamen runner was sweating profusely and rolled and crawled away.

Zhang Chonglou tidied up his clothes, then walked around and calmly came to the main hall to sit down.

"Whether it is the Liaodong tiger or the Yan Bawang, I will stop it."

"The Jin Dynasty cannot perish in our hands."

After a while, the people Zhang Chonglou needed came in one after another. All of them were in a mess, and some were even out of clothes.

Zhang Chonglou looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows the matter. The disaster of the destruction of the country is right in front of me. I want you to give up someone."

"Whether they are brothers and nephews, slaves, or servants, they will gather as many people as they have. Come with me to get weapons and armor in the treasury."

"Remember one sentence. The Jin court is the roots of a big tree, and we are the branches and leaves on the trunk. If the roots fall, can the branches and leaves survive?"

"The family is in trouble. Men are fighting and women are auxiliary."

"Of course, some people must be lucky and refuse to do their best. But I will kill you."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chonglou slapped the coffee table with his right hand, with a cold and ruthless smile on his face, and said, "The city gate has been closed. You can't escape."

Some words moved with emotion, explained with reason, and threatened with toughness.

Although Zhang Chonglou did not know about military affairs, he was a dynasty with outstanding abilities.

All the officials, famous families and gentry present were sweating like rain, some were ashamed, and some were forced to cheer themselves up, and stood up and bowed to agree.

"yes."

Zhang Chonglou nodded with satisfaction, and then asked his confidants to organize everyone to go to the treasury to collect weapons and armor. He stood up and took a deep breath. A sneer appeared on his face and said, "I, Goguryeo, are not the Chu State, and the lord is not the king of the country that has been destroyed. The minister is not the minister of the country that has been destroyed."

"My Jiangjie Mansion is not made of Liaodong generals. It is made of paper."

"Wu Nian. I want you to break your teeth."

As Zhang Chonglou ordered one by one, as the news spread, the city fell into chaos, but in order.

Teams of yamen runners, teams of slaves, children of wealthy families, or loyal ministers who received the news, received the armor and climbed the city wall.

Time passes slowly.

In the afternoon, the sun sets westward and Wu Nian's army arrives outside the north gate of Jiangjie City.

Three thousand households of war soldiers scattered on the fields full of rice stubble, with a stern and solemn aura soaring into the sky.

Under the banner of the "Wu" character, Wu Nian rode a tall horse, holding a horse spear, and looked up at Jiangjie City. Seeing the crowds of people on the city, he sighed and said, "At this moment, it's like the invasion of 100,000 households of the Mongolian Yuan invaded Liaodong."

"It's just that there is no one in Liaodong. There is someone in Goguryeo."

"There are many loyal ministers like Zhang Chonglou, the governor of the Jiangjiejie.

"But. Can he stop me?"

Wu Nian suddenly changed his mind and showed a domineering look on his face. The powerful aura emanated, forming an unparalleled pressure.

Zhang Zhen shivered, took a breath, and turned his head to look at his uncle with admiration.

Good guy.
