When it comes to the scale of the city, Jizhou is larger than Youzhou, but when it comes to the prosperity of business, Youzhou is better.

The biggest difference between the two is that there are many merchants from the northern part of Youzhou City.

Liangzhou is the largest border town in the northwest border, and a large number of merchants from the Western Regions enter and exit every day.

Youzhou is the place where the herdsmen in the northern part of Saibei are most willing to come to trade, and the reason is similar to that in Liangzhou.

When Luo Geng was in Youzhou, no matter how fierce he treated outsiders, he never hurt the businessman innocently.

No matter how heavy the tax he collected, at least the merchants from the northern part of the Seychelles and the Central Plains still had a place to make a living.

The herdsmen in the north of the Selangor are different from those on the Nalan Grassland. In the area north of the border and Youzhou, the grassland is actually not abundant.

The herdsmen here cannot make a living by relying on that small pasture.

So they go to the mountains to hunt every year. In the prosperous era of Great Chu, the skin in their hands could easily be exchanged for the silver in the hands of the rich.

At that time, they didn't have to worry about not being able to sell the goods, but they just had to worry about whether the price was high enough.

During the most prosperous period of Great Chu, the more complete the skin, the more expensive it is.

So those hunters also try their best not to hurt their skin when hunting.

They practice archery skills hard just to shoot the prey's eyes with one arrow, so that they can ensure that they cut off a perfect skin.

After passing through the tailor's hands, the skin turned into a rich fur for the nobles.

While Li Chi and Gao Xining were shopping in Youzhou, they saw a lot of goods that they could not see in Jizhou.

But I didn't see what the businessman should be.

Everyone, whether they are merchants from the northern part of the Seychelles or from the Central Plains, no matter what goods they sell, they all look very numb.

They seem to just feel that they should be here, not that they can bring any changes to life here.

They either sat or stood, as if they were part of this big city, which should have existed.

It just should have existed, and it is no longer different from the stone statues in Youzhou City.

The more I walked around, the less I didn’t have the joy I should have when I went shopping. Looking at those people, my mood became inexplicably heavy.

At this moment, Luo Zhen was enlightened in the general's mansion.

At the same time, at the junction of Jingzhou and Liangzhou, on both sides of the Dahan River, Prince Wu's army and Yang Xuanji's army had been confronting each other across the river for a long time.

At this time, both sides were in a dilemma.

Advance is as difficult as climbing to heaven. If you retreat, you will feel unwilling to accept it.

After Yang Xuanji's army left Shuzhou, he entered Liangzhou and was defeated by Yang Jiju, the god of war in the first battle.

But at that time, Yang Xuanji didn't feel that he was not a match for Prince Wu, he was bullying Prince Wu and was already old.

What he deceived Prince Wu's army was not as good as his logistics supply, but he deceived Prince Wu's lack of support from so many famous families.

What is even more bullying is that the fate of the Great Chu is about to be broken, and the old man with his own strength cannot withstand the collapse of the fate of the country.

But after so long confrontation, Yang Xuanji realized that Prince Wu's invincible name was not a story made up.

This old man has far less soldiers than him, and in terms of terrain, he is not as good as him.

When it comes to money, food and materials, and when it comes to interpersonal relationships in Liangzhou, they are not as good as him.

However, even with such an advantage, Yang Xuanji had no chance of winning.

He racked his brains and thoughts, and even hoped to come up with some clever tricks to break Prince Wu's defense line.

However, he had a lot of gray hair thinking about it, but he still couldn't think of a solution.

When Prince Wu attacked, he was the sharpest spear in the world, and when he defended, he became the strongest shield in the world.

Yang Xuanji felt uncomfortable, but Prince Wu was actually even more uncomfortable.

Because there is more than one thief like Yang Xuanji in the world, but there is only one loyal minister like him in the world who can control it.

He is the best craftsman in the world. If this place is broken, he will make up for it.

The inside is broken, and he will make up for it.

If it is broken one by one, he can make up for it.

But when it was broken, it was broken here and there. Before I could get there, another place was broken again.

When it comes to whiteness, Yang Xuanji's worries about white hair are incomparable to Prince Wu, who is now full of white hair.

If it weren't for Prince Wu, the Great Chu might have been destroyed ten years ago.

Yang Xuanji thought that the old man could not withstand the national destiny with his own strength, but he forgot that the old man had forced such a huge empire to last for ten years with his own strength.

Outside the big tent, standing there, looking at the somewhat silly soldiers, Prince Wu's eyes were filled with worries.

I received news yesterday that it was Li Brother Hu, a great thief in southern Xinjiang, who had led his army to conquer more than 20 prefectures and counties, and most of Yangzhou had been taken into account by Li Brother Hu.

Brother Li’s vanguard army of the rebels is less than 600 miles away from the important areas of the capital.

It was also news that the emperor had to withdraw the troops originally transferred to Yuzhou to Yangzhou.

The recruits trained by the boys of the Yuwen family turned back halfway.

The Yuwen family, which once almost destroyed the Great Chu, has now become the most important barrier in the southeast of the capital.

How can I save this big Chu who is full of holes?

Not long ago, Prince Wu received news that Emperor Yang Jing was appointed as the king of the great thief in Qingzhou.

After hearing the news, Prince Wu was shocked and quickly sent someone to send a memorial to the capital for 800 miles, begging the emperor to take back Cheng's life.

However, he also knew that His Majesty was too difficult.

What can Your Majesty do?

In the spring, Prince Wu received news that he ordered Pan Nuo, who was left in Jizhou, to be defeated and killed by Youzhou Luodi. Jizhou probably had already fallen into the hands of Luodi.

Jizhou is gone, and Qingzhou is another group of big thieves taking charge...

Prince Wu’s men are in Jingzhou, but their hearts are not there.

It is an important area of ​​Jingzhou, located in Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

At this time, most of Yangzhou was occupied by Brother Li, Prince Wu defended Jingzhou to the death, and the younger generations of the Yuwen family defended the last line of defense in Yangzhou.

The only thing that is better is that there is a battle-friendly Meng Kedi in Henan and Anyang City, which is a little more reassuring.

"Report!"

A soldier who reported the news rushed over, holding a military newspaper in his hand.

General Wu took the newspaper and looked at it. After a while, his face became paler and paler. He shook his body a few times, and quickly reached out to hold the door of the big tent, and then stabilized his body.

He took a deep breath and wanted to adjust himself, but he couldn't help it. He squirted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

It was dusk after waking up. He looked outside the tent. It was beautiful at this time, but the earth was not beautiful.

The people from the Cao family sent someone to send him the news as quickly as possible to inform him of Meng Kedi's death.

When Prince Wu saw this letter, he knew that Anyang was over.

With the courage of Luo Zhen, I heard that Meng Kedi was dead, so I would lead my army south.

After Luodi got Anyang, you can attack Qingzhou and Xuzhou to the southeast, and Yuzhou to the south.

Without Meng Kedi, there would be no one in Yuzhou who would still be a rival to Luojing.

Brother Li was pressing from Yangzhou to Jingzhou. If Luo Jing was pressing from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, what would happen if he held Jingzhou tightly?

It blocked Yang Xuanji, but could not stop the world's general trend.

"Prince."

A group of generals woke him up and hurriedly surrounded him.

"I'm not in the way."

Prince Wu struggled to get up, feeling the pain in his chest and abdomen.

"Prince, don't move while lying. The medical officer told me that the prince should stay in bed and rest."

"Stay?"

Prince Wu shook his head slowly: "Where can I have time to rest in bed? God gives me time, but the traitor doesn't."

He stretched out his hand and his subordinates quickly helped him up.

Prince Wu put on his clothes, walked to the map and looked at it. It was already a little dark.

It was dark, and his eyes were a little blurry and he couldn't see clearly.

"Prepare the light."

Prince Wu gave an order.

The subordinates quickly lit the oil lamp and raised it to the front of the map. Prince Wu was about to approach the map and check it out when a gust of wind blew in from outside the tent and blew out the oil lamp.

Prince Wu was stunned for a moment, and turned around and looked outside the tent, and there was no wind again.
