"What's going on?" Qin Yuesheng was immediately puzzled and forcibly grabbed the shoulder of a big man who was passing by.
The other party was already in a hurry to get on the road, and was suddenly pulled by Qin Yuesheng. He was naturally furious and immediately slapped Qin Yuesheng's arm and shouted: "Let go, or don't blame me for being rude."
Qin Yuesheng took out a silver ingot and said, "Brother, what happened that made you so panicked? Tell me."
The big man was in a hurry to get on with his journey, but when he saw Qin Yuesheng's generosity, his eyes lit up instantly and his tone became much more friendly.
"Okay, okay, hehe." The big man took the silver from Qin Yuesheng's hand and immediately started to explain to him.
"There's an army coming from Yangzhou Prefecture. They look like they're going to attack Qingyang City. They'll probably be at the gates tomorrow. Sir, I advise you to hurry home and make preparations as soon as possible."
"Oh?!" Qin Yuesheng didn't expect this to happen suddenly.
Not long ago, he defeated the navy sent by Liu Xian to attack the Twelve Linked Docks in the East China Sea. Now Liu Xian's army ran into him again. It was really interesting.
The Twelve Linked Docks did not let any of Liu Xian's soldiers escape, so in a short period of time, he would definitely not be able to know that his navy had been defeated.
"It seems that we can't set off for Yangzhou Prefecture immediately. Without my help, the few soldiers and horses in Qingyang City, even with the city walls as defense, cannot resist Liu Xian's army." Qin Yuesheng said inwardly.
This place is his hometown, his parents and family are all in Qingyang City, Qin Yuesheng cannot help but pay attention to it.
Seeing that Qin Yuesheng didn't say anything, the big man ran away immediately. Qin Yuesheng let him go and quickly returned to the Qin Mansion.
The news of Liu Xian's approaching army was so sudden that when Xun Sheng learned about it, he was quite frightened like ordinary people.
Because he was very clear about the strength of his side, Qingyang City had no ability to fight against Liu Xian's army.
This time, Liu Xian was determined to start from the vicinity of Yangzhou Prefecture and slowly occupy the territory of Jiangnan until the entire Jiangnan was incorporated into his territory.
Attacking Qingyang City is just a small step among thousands of steps.
When the people in Qingyang City began to get restless, Xun Sheng, who got the news, kept walking back and forth in the yamen to ease his tension.
He was a civil servant and had never experienced leading troops in battle.
"Why is there no movement from the court? This is really unacceptable. I will just open the city gates and surrender to that old villain Liu Xian." Xun Sheng thought to himself, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The thirty-six bandits in the world have been rebelling for many days, but the imperial court has not said a word, and the country looks peaceful and prosperous.
Because they were afraid of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Tang Dynasty had not yet declined to the point of national destruction. Therefore, the thirty-six thieves did not dare to rashly lead their troops to attack Chang'an. Instead, they chose to start annexing territories and rapidly develop their own strength in a tacit and surprisingly consistent manner.
I believe that when all places except Chang'an are divided up by the thirty-six thieves, that will be the day when the fat piece of meat Chang'an will welcome the thirty-six hungry wolves.
"Sir, do we need to go and discuss this matter with Lord Qin?" asked Xu Jin who was standing next to him.
"Master Qin..." Xun Sheng looked listless and waved his hand. "No need for that. No matter how powerful Master Qin is, he's just a warrior. He has three tricks up his sleeve to deal with evil spirits, but facing Liu Xian's army, I'm afraid he's powerless. When Liu Xian's army arrives tomorrow, I'll simply open the city gates and surrender, so as to avoid the soldiers being sacrificed in vain."
Xu Jin shook his head. This prefect Xun treated the people very well and could not bear to see anyone die in the war. In peacetime, he was a good official.
But when it comes to times of war, they tend to act like cowards and weaklings.
But this is also a good thing. Chang'an did not send troops to support it anyway, and Qingyang City could not withstand the attack of Liu Xian's army. Choosing to surrender at the beginning would result in less losses than surrendering later when the city was broken and people were killed. At least the lives of a large number of soldiers could be saved.
Upon learning that a large army was coming to attack Qingyang City, many people fled with their families, trying to avoid the war.
But everyone knows that the world is about to enter an era of unrest. Unless you hide in the mountains and forests and isolate yourself from the world, you will encounter war no matter which city you migrate to.
Several prominent families in Qingyang City invited each other to a party, hoping that their heads of families would sit together and discuss what to do tomorrow.
Qin Yuesheng had long lost interest in this kind of gathering, so he stayed in the Qin Mansion to practice quietly, waiting for Liu Xian's army to arrive at the city tomorrow, and then he would go out and kill him.
However, what Qin Yuesheng did not expect was that when the elders of the major families gathered together to discuss future events, the younger generations of the major families had nothing to do, so they put aside their past conflicts and estrangements and gathered together for a meeting.
But when they found out that Qin Yuesheng, the eldest son of the Qin family, did not come, they immediately became unhappy and formed a group to rush to the Qin Mansion, intending to bring Qin Yuesheng into this meeting of the younger generation of Qingyang City.
