Taicheng is the location of the Southern Dynasty Palace and Taizhou Province. Because the Shangshutai is located in the palace city, it is also called Taicheng. At this time, the gates of Taicheng were closed, the imperial guards were strictly guarded, and idle people were not allowed to pass without permission.

At this moment, there were actually no idle people who had the intention to enter and exit Taicheng. The people in the city were waiting for news with no distinction between high and low, because today's official army fought a decisive battle with the Northern Lu outside the city, and their victory or defeat was related to the wealth and life of everyone in Jiankang.

On the street outside Taicheng, there were not many pedestrians except for the soldiers patrolling the city. Most of the men who could use weapons had been recruited to assist the officials in defending the city. Those who were not recruited hid at home and sighed.

The war was a bit far from the people of Jiankang. Many people remembered the panic when the Qi army was at the city thirty-three years ago, but some people remembered the catastrophe fifty years ago.

During the Hou Jing Rebellion, the rebels besieged Taicheng for more than five months before they were broken. In these five months, Jiankang became a hell on earth. All kinds of tragic situations were terrifying even if they were mentioned fifty years later.

The officials and the powerful can hide in Taicheng and wait for the army to come to rescue, but the people are not lucky. What should they do if the officials are defeated today?

Many people hide at home. Apart from looking at each other with their relatives, they can only recite scriptures and chant Buddha, praying for the Buddha to bless the whole family, praying for the official army to win the battle, or praying for even if the official army is defeated and the northern barbarians enter the city, the whole family can escape the military disaster.

If there are young women or daughters at home, not only are they beautiful or not, they all use the dust under the jar to apply black charcoal. If the family is really worried, they will hide their petite daughter in an inconspicuous corner, so as not to go to the city to find women and drag them away, and they will never know their life and death from then on.

When people hide it, they have to hide the valuable things in case of future needs. Even rice must be kept safe. When the war is in chaos, the price of grain soars. On weekdays, a stone of rice will probably be about 300 to 40 cents, and then it will probably turn into 30,400 jin per stone.

Experienced families will deliberately keep some valuable things and rice in order to make the enemy soldiers who break into the door gain. Otherwise, they will be angry and irritated and slashed, and then there will be no one at that time. What's the use of leaving money and food?

After all this preparation, apart from burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I could only sit at home anxiously, listening to the movements outside, waiting for news that was good or bad.

Although the government exploited the government hardly on weekdays and everyone had a hard time, the people still hoped that the government army could defeat the Beilu. After all, I don’t know if these Beilu would make money if they entered the city. The woman could take it at will and would not seal the sword for three days.

People of all kinds of people in Jiankang City were worried, and Emperor Chen Shubao was also worried in Taicheng. Yesterday, Kong Fan strongly advocated that the government army leave the city to fight the Zhou army to a decisive battle. He did not want to agree, but the other party made a generous speech, and the scene was extremely touching.

What is "The Han and the thieves are not in harmony, and the king's career is not in a stern way", what is "the minister does not know the danger of arrows, but only knows that the master is humiliating the minister to die", what is "If you want to make a decision, the minister should be the official, and the minister should be the official's stone Yanran."

Chen Shubao was so excited that he seemed to be Emperor Xiaowu of Han, and Kong Fan was Huo Qubing, who was about to go to the north to attack the Huns. How could Chen Shubao not be so excited if such a loyal minister asked for his order to fight?

Kong Fan was one of his confidants, much more reliable than those veterans. Another confidant Shi Wenqing also agreed to attack, so he waved his hand and ordered the official army to go out of the city to fight the Northern Lu.

However, when the army really drove out of the city today, Chen Shubao regretted it again.

He felt that the government army would be better off guarding the city and waiting for the rainy season. After all, the veterans all viewed this way. The main force of the government army went out to the city to fight to the decisive battle. Once there was a big deal or two, I'm afraid...

I'm afraid Jiankang will not be able to defend it!

When Chen Shubao thought of the Beilu breaking through Taicheng and rushing into the palace and putting a knife on his neck, Chen Shubao trembled his legs. He was the true emperor and had not enjoyed enough wealth and honor, so he didn't want to die, so...

So we shouldn't send troops out of the city to fight to the decisive battle!

How good is it to defend the city? When the rainy season is over, the northern barbarians will retreat without fighting. This is so safe. Why bother going out of the city to fight to the decisive battle? Once you lose, everything will be over!

Yesterday, Na Shi Yanran's passion was so full of enthusiasm that he had already left behind. The worried Chen Shubao burned incense and prayed in front of the Buddha statue and made a wish that as long as the Buddha blessed him with peace and safety, he would definitely reshape the golden bodies of all Buddha statues in Jiankang temples in the future.

A new seven-level floating map must be created to show your piety.

From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, Chen Shubao endured hard in front of the Buddha for most of the day, and his thoughts surged into his heart, and gradually his expression began to be dazed. The imperial concubine Zhang Lihua arrived at the right time and presented her with a sweet and delicious imperial meal.

"Don't worry about the official family. Jiankang has the royal aura, and he will definitely protect the official army and defeat the Beilu."

"My beloved concubine...I am just worried, just worried..."

Chen Shubao was worried. Although he was hungry, he had no intention of enjoying the food even before. Zhang Lihua said kindly: "Officials, I heard that the angels came to the army to reward the army yesterday, and the soldiers of the army were happy and excited. I think they will fight hard to kill the enemy today..."

He said a lot of words. Although there was no substantial content, Zhang Lihua was very eloquent and knew Chen Shubao's temper. So after speaking for a while, Chen Shubao nodded silently.

Looking at the glorious imperial concubine, Chen Shubao was very reluctant to leave. This was a beauty on earth, and there were few women who could compete with it. Once the Northern Territory broke through the city, Zhang Lihua might be stolen and used as mermaid meat.

Thinking about the time when Emperor Qi Gao Wei's favorite concubine Feng Xiaolian was so stunning that he had not ended well after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Chen. Chen Shubao became more and more worried about his favorite concubine Zhang Lihua.

So even based on a man's instinct, he hopes that the official army can defeat the Beilu and keep his women worry-free.

While he was talking, Chen Shubao vaguely heard a noise outside the palace. As the sound became louder and louder, he heard it more and more clearly: it seemed that many people were shouting something loudly.

The shouts gathered, as if they were approaching Taicheng, and there should be many people coming here.

Could it be that Beilu entered the city?!

Thinking of this, Chen Shubao's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body was shaking. Zhang Lihua quickly supported him and ordered the eunuch to go out to inquire about the news.

Shortly after the eunuch ran out, he stumbled back, following several imperial guards surrounded a soldier. The soldier's armor was mottled and his armor seemed to have just rushed back from the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shubao only thought that the official army was defeated. Some of the defeated soldiers ran back to inform the bad news. He felt dizzy and almost burst into tears. The soldier knelt down a few steps away, choking and shouting: "Official... family, official... big... big..."

Seeing that the other party was out of breath, Zhang Lihua thought that what she wanted to say was "The official family is not good", and her face turned pale. Unexpectedly, this person finally got calm: "Official family! The official army is victorious, the official army is victorious!"

"Ah? You, what did you say?"

Chen Shubao couldn't believe his ears, and he didn't care about the distinction between superiors and inferiors. He rushed forward and pulled the soldier's collar and shook his mind desperately: "What did you say?"
