Wei Xiyin was also counting the days.
As the New Year passed and the beginning of spring drew closer, she controlled her patience and waited for Cheng Xiu to bring back news before setting off for Fufeng County.
With both of her capable advisers not around, the situation in Sizhou is now chaotic, and she has to make all the decisions on her own.
If Sizhou wanted to go to war with the enemy in the dark, it would take a year or two, and she didn't have the patience to wait.
She and Chang Ying were the only ones in the room.
Wei Xiyin was a little worried. "Based on the current intelligence, I'm afraid there are no survivors near Kyoto."
If there are really survivors, Xia Tian will definitely take action to clean up the residences near the survivors.
It is impossible that there are still hundreds of thousands of zombies running from Kyoto into Sizhou.
I don't know if my parents, brother, uncle's family, and the other clan members have escaped...
Ever since she learned about the situation in Sizhou, her worries have been growing day by day, especially after the ancestor worship. She became absent-minded and counted the days every day, hoping that Cheng Xiu and the others would come back soon.
"Girl, please be patient. There is no point in thinking too much. Just wait patiently for a few more days." Chang Ying comforted her.
Chang Ying was not good at thinking, so he could only comfort the girl and tell her to relax.
Wei Xiyin nodded absentmindedly. She knew, of course, that there was Sizhou between them and Kyoto. Whether going to Fufeng County or going directly to Kyoto, now was obviously not the time to set off.
"Don't neglect the recent training of the troops and the women's army." Wei Xiyin suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the training of the militia in the city going?"
Once they leave in the spring, Lingqiu County's defense will be almost negligible.
Wei Xiyin observed for several days and found that the half-baked Dashan was already the most capable person in the city.
My sixth uncle and his aunt are all scholars and literati, so they don't know how to train soldiers. She has to take action on this matter.
So after the ancestor worship on the second day of the New Year, Wei Xiyin ordered someone to send a letter to the mansion in the east of the city, asking the militia to report to the city gate every day and be trained by the centurions.
Wei Mingzhang and others nodded in agreement silently, and asked several young men to go out and train with everyone.
It was winter and everyone wore hats and wrapped themselves up tightly. Sometimes when Chang Ying came to check on the progress, the gentlemen would lower their heads and hide at the back.
Chang Ying also pretended not to know them and patiently corrected their movements.
"It's still a short time, and we haven't seen any results yet."
Chang Ying said, "But according to the girl's instructions, I gave them some spear heads, and told them to find materials to make the spear barrels themselves."
The gun head is the most common backup weapon they carry besides the small black ball.
But there is only the gun head, no gun barrel.
The spare gun barrels they carry must ensure that the soldiers have timely replacement weapons in case of emergencies, and they cannot be distributed to more people.
Wei Xiyin nodded. "There's really no rush. We can leave some small black balls. Sixth uncle and his men have a huge sum of money but no corresponding resources to deal with it. We're afraid that someone will notice something unexpected has happened."
She no longer wondered where their food came from.
It doesn't matter if it's really the grain hidden by the King of Changsha. As long as Lingqiu County has enough grain, she can retreat to Lingqiu and ask for it directly when she runs out of food.
How convenient.
Besides... the Sizhou granary is still there. Even if the enemy occupies so much grain, it will take a while to move it all away. The two armies and the three major families will definitely find an opportunity to counterattack.
Her chance has come.
Thinking of the letter sent by Gong Chun and the Princess of Hedong who was staying next door.
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers.
She does not hesitate to use the worst side to speculate on human nature. Whether it is Hedong Kingdom or Gong Liulang, they all have their own stance.
Not only was the Hedong State short of food, but it was also plotted against and suffered heavy casualties.
The Gong family of Qichuan was guarding the granary, and the two sides were clearly in opposition.
Coming late has its advantages.
At least she has more choices regarding Sizhou's affairs, and can even choose to watch from the sidelines and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.
At worst, I can take a detour to Fufeng County and delay for a month or two so that I don’t have to get involved in those messy things in Sizhou.
But I'm afraid that someone might not be happy about this and want to invite her to join.
For example, Hedong State, or Gong Chun who has been staying indoors for the past few days.
That's the case.
We are all smart people, so why not have a two-way conspiracy?
Not only does she want to find her relatives, she also wants food and people!
If you want to clear the world of zombies, you can't just rely on the limited power of Yizhou.
Chang Ying didn't realize that his girl's thoughts had drifted away. He hesitated and said, "Girl, the situation in Sizhou is serious. The entire Kyoto has fallen. How much explosives should we leave behind?"
Wei Xiyin said, "We don't need too many. A few dozen small black balls will be enough to intimidate the enemy."
People in this dynasty had never seen such powerful weapons before. Just throwing two of them could scare away a lot of people.
She just wanted her sixth uncle and the others to be able to protect themselves, not to raze the entire Lingqiu County to the ground.
"Wait until Cheng Xiu and the others come back, and then we'll give it to them when we leave."
"yes!"
The other end.
Cheng Xiu and others stayed in Huayin for two days and got to know the situation of each major family.
The King of Hedong seemed unwilling to let others discover their presence and did not allow them to move around at first.
The situation in the city was almost exactly what Mr. Guo told them.
Guo Xiu told the Wei scouts everything he knew, even the casualties of his own army.
"The Hedong Army lost 3,000 soldiers in Hongnong County, suffering the heaviest casualties of any faction."
Cheng Xiu appeared calm on the surface and thanked them repeatedly, but he was actually wary in his heart, wondering what the Hedong Army was planning.
Guo Xiu smiled faintly and said nothing. In the end, he got two sets of Hedong Army uniforms for them. "If you don't believe what I say, then go and have a look on your own. But don't let anyone see you."
Guo Xiu hinted to them that when the monsters flooded into Hongnong County, six children of the Dou and Gong families were missing.
Captain Zheng has already reported to Yuan Jing about Gong Chun's situation in Lingqiu County.
He said plainly, "Three of the Gong clan's leading members in Huayin are missing, and the rest are untrustworthy. Do you intend to go to the Lu clan to gather information?"
"There is no news about the Lu family at the moment. I, Guo, can report to His Highness and order the Hedong Army to escort you there." Guo Xiu thought for a moment and added.
This move is already very obvious.
As a direct descendant of the Gong family, how could he bear to see his family torn apart, his clan members missing, and no news of the Lu family? It was a good time for Gong Chun to come back and take charge of the family.
As long as Lu's County turns against them and the alliance of the three major families collapses, they can even add fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
"Thank you Mr. Guo for telling me!" Cheng Xiu thanked him again solemnly, but she felt shocked in her heart.
These counselors are too cunning.
The monsters outside the city have not been completely cleared out, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught, but they have already begun planning the subsequent battle.
Telling him so openly is not just testing the attitude of the Qinghe Wei family?
I still have to go back and report to the girl quickly.
