Before the messenger could finish, Wang Meng excitedly said, "What do you mean by 'stop yelling and cursing'? What are they going to do next?"
Xie Qichen didn't care that Wang Meng asked questions in a hurry without asking the commander.
After all, this is a crisis period. He does not have so much time and energy to punish Wang Meng. The most important thing is the situation in Beimo.
However, Wang Meng knew that he had overstepped his bounds and stopped talking immediately.
The messenger then told the current situation in Beimo.
"General, the Northern Desert Army was still shouting and cursing an hour ago, but now they have stopped and are preparing to attack the city."
"What? The Northern Desert Army is going to attack the city."
Xie Qichen stood up suddenly. He did not doubt the messenger's words, but strode out of the tent and almost reached the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, Xie Qichen looked at the Northern Desert Army in the distance. It was indeed as the messenger said, they were preparing to attack the city.
So without any hesitation, he sent out his army and ordered everyone to defend the city gate.
However, he also knew that holding on was a bad idea and it was impossible to keep doing so.
Even if the Northern Desert army cannot break through the city gate in a short time, they cannot resist the Northern Desert's strong soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. They are not afraid of wasting time on the Northern Desert, but they cannot afford to delay.
He, who had always been calm, began to feel anxious.
But he knew in his heart that the Prince of Chen was not in the northern border, and as the chief general, he had to remain calm and find ways to persevere.
He sent eight urgent reports to the Prince of Chen. According to the time calculation, if nothing unexpected happened, the report should have reached the Prince of Chen.
After Prince Chen learned about the situation in the northern border, he would not only set out for the northern border immediately, but also raise as much food and grass as possible.
For now, he can only hold on and wait for Prince Chen to come.
The situation in Beiling City is not optimistic, and the disaster brought to the local people in Qingshan Prefecture by the blizzard has also begun to appear.
If Li Mengyue had not made so many preparations in advance, Xie Ruiyuan fully believed that it would not be long before countless people would freeze to death in Qingshan Prefecture, making it a veritable hell on earth.
But even if Li Mengyue took out a lot of food, cotton clothes and quilts, she could not take care of the people's housing.
You must know that in the eyes of the Northern Desert and other small countries, the Great Zhou is powerful, but in fact that is only relative. Compared with other small countries, the Great Zhou does have fertile and vast land, and the people live a better life than them.
But these are only for relatively wealthy places, where people can live a decent life.
But it is different in Qingshan Prefecture. More than 90% of the people with the surname of Qi live in poverty.
The people of Qingshan Prefecture, who could not even afford to have enough food and clothing, had no money to repair their houses. Most of them lived in mud houses with thatched roofs.
How could such houses withstand the pressure of accumulated snow for a long time? After just one night, countless houses were collapsed.
However, some houses only had their roofs damaged, while the walls were intact. As long as the roofs were repaired, people could continue to live in them.
But the whole house collapsed, so there was nothing we could do but rebuild it or find another place to live.
