Chapter 450                           

Li Yu looked at Lu Fang and Shen Fang in confusion.

Lu Fang said: "Our army arrived in Qinzhou for a long journey and was tired from horses. It is not advisable to go to war with the Xifan army immediately!"

Chen Fang nodded and agreed.

He said: "After our army arrives in Qinzhou, we should not only not rush to start a war with the Xifan army, but we should try our best to avoid the war!"

"Avoid the battle?"

If they didn't fight with the Xifan Army, why did they still come to Qinzhou from afar?

Isn't it good to stay in Liangzhou?

Chen Fang continued: "Your Highness should send a letter to Qinzhou Prefecture now, strengthen the walls and clear the fields!"

Li Yu frowned and looked at Chen Fang with a straight face.

Chen Fang said: "Only in this way can the Xifan Army be restricted from looting on the spot!"

Li Yu said in a deep voice: "The crops are not yet mature. Implementing a solid wall and clearing the fields at this time will probably cause famine in Qinzhou!"

Chen Fang said seriously: "Your Highness, there is nothing we can do about this! It is at least much better to destroy our own food than to be snatched away by the Xifan army!"

Li Yu rubbed his chin and pondered and said nothing.

Lu Fang said: "If Qinzhou really cuts off food, your highness can also submit a memorial to the court and ask the court to allocate grain and provide relief."

Li Yu thought about it and felt that this was the only way to do the trick.

He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll write a letter to Li Ge now!"

Before Li Yu's people arrived in Qinzhou, they exercised the power of the Qinzhou governor first.

He ordered Li Ge to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields immediately in the remaining six counties in Qinzhou.

The so-called solid walls and clear fields are both to strengthen the cities and camps on your own and to harvest all the crops in the fields.

Regardless of whether the crops are ripe or not, they cannot be left to the enemy.

Li Yu's letter was sent to Qinzhou by the postman.

When Li Ge saw Li Yu ordering himself to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, he gasped.

Doing this may cause a great famine in Qinzhou and a large number of refugees will be exposed!

But Li Yu is now the governor of Qinzhou and the King of Wu. Li Ge dared not to refuse to follow his orders, nor could he refuse to follow his orders.

Follow Li Yu's orders and there is no problem. Of course, you are good and I am good. Everyone is good.

But even if something goes wrong, Li Yu will take it on, and it has nothing to do with him, Li Ge.

After receiving Li Yu's letter, Li Ge immediately implemented the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country in Qinzhou according to Li Yu's order.

Especially Shangyuan County, Zhongyuan County and Donggu County, which were invaded by the Xifan Army, not only wanted to destroy all the crops in the fields, but also migrated the people of the three counties to the other three counties on a large scale.

Li Yu never thought that his order caused a stir in the three counties of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Donggu.

The people of the three counties, with hundreds of thousands of people, all migrated, and they had to be completed in a short period of time. The chaos caused can be imagined.

Many people have no food reserves at home, and the government has taken forced migration measures against them. Hundreds of people have not reached their destination and fallen ill or starve to death on the road.

Li Yu still knows nothing about these situations.

Soon, the 100,000 border troops led by Li Yu finally entered the territory of Qinzhou.

At present, the 400,000 capital troops led by the Duke of Xunguo Liang Ping are stationed in the county town of Huaian County, Huaian City.

After Li Yu arrived in Huaian City, Liangping, Li Ge, and even the officials of Qinzhou Prefecture and Huaian County and County Government all went out to greet him.

Among the people who were greeting him, Li Yu also saw a familiar figure, Liang Pi.

He didn't expect that Liang Pi would come to Qinzhou with his father Liang Ping.

Everyone came to Li Yu, intervened and bowed, and said, "I pay homage to His Highness the King of Wu!"

Li Yu waved his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone is exempt from gifts!"

Without time to greet and talk about those polite words on the scene, Li Yu asked straight to the point: "What is the situation in Qinzhou right now?"

Liang Ping said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, the Xifan army has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and is coming in a fierce manner. He is very aggressive and takes the momentum of the capital. The situation... is very unfavorable to us!"

Li Ge then continued: "Report to your highness, I have moved all the three counties of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Donggu, a total of more than 800,000 people to Xiayuan County, Pingchuan County and Huaian County. Among them, Huaian County has the largest number of people. In addition, the prefecture has moved to Huaian City!"

Li Yu nodded, looked at Liang Ping, and said, "Duke Xunguo."

"I'm here!"

"Take me to the barracks and have a look!"

"As for your order!"

Liang Ping took Li Yu to the capital army camp.

On the road, Liang Pi rode a horse and followed from a distance.

Now Li Yu is surrounded by generals from various departments and senior officials from the prefectures and county governments. Liang Pi only had the title of lieutenant in the army. As his lieutenant, he naturally could not rely on Li Yu's near.

Li Yu deliberately slowed down his horse and fell behind.

Liang Pi and Li Yu are playmates from childhood to adulthood, so how can you not see Li Yu’s intentions?

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Li Yu temporarily escaped from the officials, Liang Pi immediately urged his horse to run forward and whispered: "Duoyu, you really dare to come to Qinzhou!"

He and Li Yu met him when they wore open-crotch pants. Since they were young, Li Yu was half a dozen, how could he not know?

Li Yu gave him a blank look and said angrily: "You Liangpi, are you embarrassed to say to me?"

If you are not staying in the capital, why do you go to Qinzhou to do?"

Liang Pi shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's boring!"

"ha?"

"The atmosphere in the capital is very wrong now!"

Li Yu didn't understand much and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't say it either. In short, since the death of the late emperor and the new king ascended the throne, the atmosphere in the capital has become... very strange! I can't explain it clearly, anyway, it's different from before!"

Li Yu could understand what he said.

Because my father died inexplicably, after his elder brother ascended the throne, he made a series of tricks, such as instructing the Feiwei to assassinate Li Yuyi. In addition, the elder brother had just ascended the throne, he was in a hurry to cut off the vassal.

All of these have caused criticism from the elder brother.

It would be strange if the atmosphere in the capital is good!

Liang Pi continued: "It's really boring to stay in the capital. My father was going to lead the capital army to Qinzhou, so I went far away and came with my father!"

Li Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed the military sign hanging around Liang Pi's waist, picked it up and looked, raised his lips and said, "I've even become a lieutenant!"

Liang Pi snatched the military card from Li Yu in dissatisfaction, hung it back to his waist, and said, "What does it mean to be confused?

With my ability, can't I be a lieutenant?"

Li Yu smiled.

Liang Pi didn't know many big characters, but his martial arts were truly mastered by Duke Xunguo.

In terms of martial arts, he is more than enough to be a lieutenant.

"Okay, stop talking about me, just talk about you! Didn't you stay well in Liangzhou?

Why did you come to Qinzhou to get into this muddy water?"

"If I don't come, who will come?"

Is your father?"

Liang Pi shrugged, leaned over to Li Yu, and whispered beside him: "My father said that, he plans to return to Beijing tomorrow!"

“…”

Duke Xunguo, you are so relieved to hand over all the 400,000 troops into my hands!
