At dawn.
The large army led by Maodun also arrived at the city of Jingzhou.
Yi Nan was covered in wounds and knelt in front of Maodun's horse to apologize.
All night long.
The vanguard troops he led left behind more than a thousand corpses in front of Jingzhou City and failed to reach the city.
It was the same even if he led the charge himself.
He was even hit by two arrows from the Great Zhou sharpshooter.
If it weren't for the guards who risked their lives to rescue me, I would probably have lost my life there.
In just one night, several of his generals were killed.
With his ability, he really can't capture Jingzhou City.
Maodun did not punish him.
He sat high on his horse, overlooking the Jingzhou City below, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.
Such a magnificent city.
Such a rich land.
He, Maodun, is determined to win!
At this moment, he seemed to have seen himself conquering the city.
It was as if he had already seen himself establishing a dynasty unprecedented in history, with all nations coming to congratulate him and becoming his slaves!
However, Yi Nan's defeat also served as a wake-up call for him.
Although the city before us has few defenders, it is a strong city armed to the teeth and cannot be conquered so easily.
We can no longer act so rashly. We must build siege equipment while engaging in psychological warfare with the people in the city to undermine their will to resist.
The ruined city of Jingzhou was not enough to support him through the winter.
Following Maodun's order.
The 120,000 Xiongnu cavalry gradually divided into three parts and surrounded the city of Jingzhou.
Thousands of horses galloped, and smoke and dust covered the sun.
It looked like there were 300,000 troops, which really scared many civil officials.
Surrounded by three and missing one.
The Huns did not intend to kill them all.
It seems that there is no need to fight to the death?
People's hearts became more active.
The aristocratic families in Jingzhou began to sell off their assets in Jingzhou City in full swing.
There are three or four hundred thousand troops outside the city!
It’s easy to tell that Jingzhou City cannot be defended.
Rather than staying in the city and being burned to ashes by the Huns.
It would be better to exchange it for gold, silver and jewelry and move away.
At least it can reduce the losses, right?
Since the Huns only surrounded three city gates, leaving a huge gap, it means that the matter is still worth discussing.
The surrender faction, no, the peace faction, gained the upper hand again.
Because a lot of wealthy people have started listing their properties and real estate for sale.
For a time, Jingzhou's real estate market was halved and land prices almost hit rock bottom.
Under Qin Yuan's instructions, Murong Yanran gave everything she had, accepted it all with a smile, and even used some high-quality assets from other states and counties as collateral.
With such a sucker taking over, the aristocratic families were overjoyed.
Gold, silver and jewelry are actually not that easy to move, and accidents are likely to happen in troubled times.
But asset mortgage is different.
He even offered to offer a discount just to be able to trade more minerals with Murong Yanran.
The people from the aristocratic families knew the thoughts of the female tyrant very well.
They just want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and profit from the war.
Want to get rich?
How easy is that!
It was just a matter of killing a thousand Huns in one night.
What is this?
There are 300,000 troops outside the city!
It was just a small victory.
Moreover, the victory was achieved because the Huns were stupid and had no preparation at all. They didn't even have siege equipment, but they were eager to attack the city.
Such a record is nothing to be proud of.
If 300,000 people were to form a battle formation and attack from four directions together.
Is there still room for these ten thousand of you?
Even if it's just for one day.
What about the second day and the third day?
No matter how high the morale is, people will get tired.
How can we defend Jingzhou City with just these 10,000 people?
If we can’t defend Jingzhou City, how can we get any windfall?
Once the Huns enter the city, it will be a scorched earth and a hell on earth!
The female tyrant is becoming more and more unreasonable and is even starting to daydream.
Forget it, if this woman doesn’t do anything stupid, how can we get any benefit?
Everyone in the family was mobilized and began a large-scale relocation plan that would last for an unknown amount of time.
There is no value or meaning in staying in Jingzhou anymore.
…
One day.
As usual, Qin Yuan finished his fishing trip in the government office and prepared to go home to touch Xue Zi, recite poems and paint with his wives, and study the secrets of having children.
But as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw that his doghouse was in ruins.
His eyes instantly turned red.
who?
Who did this?
He ran desperately in the ruins, screaming hysterically and calling out one name after another.
"My wife!"
"Lian'er!"
"Little Murong!"
"Stupid bitches!!!"
Over and over again, time and time again, but still no response.
He collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, feeling excruciating pain.
I don’t know how long it took.
In a trance.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it countless pink and white reed flowers with a slight purple tint, dancing loosely in the air, and then falling like raindrops, sprinkling on the body.
He looked up lazily for a long time.
This was the place where he and his wife went on their first trip.
How did he get here?
Qin Yuan lowered his head in surprise, and saw a beautiful woman in his arms. She raised her face and looked at him with her beautiful eyes in a daze.
She was lazy, charming and shy, and her body was as soft as mud as if all the bones had been taken out.
"My dear, why are you here? I have been looking for you for a long time..."
Qin Yuan was stunned, and suddenly found that the two were hugging each other and squeezed in a small fishing boat.
"Don't talk."
Ming Zhanxue whispered softly, her voice was so light and gentle that it made people's hearts melt.
Qin Yuan only felt a surge of love, greedily looking at every detail on her face, but he felt that he could never see enough in this life.
In a trance, he leaned down and kissed the beauty from the ends of her hair, then across her forehead, eyebrows, and nose tip... and finally landed on her soft and fragrant lips.
This was the first time he had touched a girl's lips.
Soft.
Sweet.
Just a light touch makes my heart melt.
Is this the smell of a girl?
He was intoxicated.
Just when he was about to pick out the blood spots.
The delicate face and smooth body in front of me suddenly disappeared.
The fishing boats on the lake were also gone.
The surroundings were covered in white mourning, as if it were a mourning hall.
