Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The army of Prince Fu had besieged Jianping Prefecture for more than three months but had failed to capture it. They had consumed a huge amount of food and fodder, and their morale was getting increasingly low.

The news that Hengchang Prefecture had been captured by King Qi made him even more anxious.

If the King of Qi were to rush into the heart of Songzhou first, wouldn't the King of Fu be making wedding clothes for others?

Therefore, Prince Fu ignored the casualties and ordered an overnight attack on the city, vowing to take Jianping Prefecture in one fell swoop.

Outside the city, another round of charge began.

The black mass of enemy soldiers came like a tide, with ladders, battering rams, and arrow towers all deployed, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Shu Changyu's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every defender.

The defenders held their weapons tightly, and although there was fatigue in their eyes, no one retreated.

During these days, Shu Changyu enforced military discipline with iron-blooded means, led by example, and repeatedly repelled the enemy's attacks, and had long won the respect of the soldiers.

At this moment, he was standing on the top of the city wall, and he was the direction of the army's support.

Arrows rained down like locusts, covering the sky and the earth and shooting towards the top of the city.

Shu Changyu swung his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, cutting down all the arrows shot at him.

Song Jiaojiao flexibly hid behind the battlements, waiting for her chance to strike.

When the first group of enemy soldiers climbed onto the top of the city wall, the defenders rushed forward with roars.

Amid the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Shu Changyu shuttled through the enemy camp like a ghost, and wherever he passed, enemy soldiers fell down like wheat being cut.

Song Jiaojiao specifically targeted lone enemy soldiers. She was petite and agile, and often the enemy soldiers' throats were cut before they could react.

An Jiu followed closely behind, his two swords flying, protecting Song Jiaojiao's flank.

The three of them cooperated well and fought their way out of the city.

By midnight, the enemy's offensive finally weakened.

There were corpses everywhere under the city, and there were also heavy casualties on the city walls.

Shu Changyu stood on the battlement, looking at the enemy soldiers retreating like a tide, his eyes becoming even colder.

An Yi appeared behind him at some point and reported, "The rebels of the King of Qi have approached Guang'an Prefecture. Prefect Lin has sent people to ask for help. The remnants led by Qu Tong can only barely defend the city. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for three days."

When Shu Changyu heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Once Guang'an Prefecture was destroyed, the hinterland of Songzhou would no longer have any protection, and Yunshan County would be in imminent danger.

"It seems that we have to change our strategy." Shu Changyu spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice.

Song Jiaojiao looked up at him, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Shu Changyu turned his head to look at her, with a cold arc on the corner of his lips: "Do you dare to follow me to rob the camp?"

Song Jiaojiao clenched the dagger and said without hesitation: "Dare!"

At three quarters past midnight, fire suddenly broke out in Prince Fu's camp.

Shu Changyu led his men to attack the central army directly, and they were unstoppable all the way.

In the chaos, Jiaojiao followed An Jiu into a tent and happened to run into several generals discussing military intelligence.

"There's an assassin!" a general shouted and drew his sword.

An Jiu sneered, and his two swords flew like butterflies through flowers, killing the two men in an instant.

Jiaojiao aimed at the youngest military officer, and the dagger went straight for his throat like a poisonous snake.

The military officer tried to block in panic, but saw Jiaojiao's sword suddenly change its momentum and stab at his wrist.

"Ah!" The military officer screamed and his sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Jiaojiao took advantage of the victory and stabbed the opponent's thigh with a sword, then knocked him down with a roundhouse kick.

The military officer looked in horror at the little girl in front of him who was not even as tall as his chest. He couldn't understand why he would be defeated by a child.

That night, Prince Fu's camp suffered heavy losses.

Not only were the food supplies burned, but several generals were also captured.

What made Prince Fu vomit blood the most was that the sneak attacking enemy came and went like the wind, and he couldn't even see who the enemy was!

When it was almost dawn, Shu Changyu led his men and quietly retreated to Jianping Prefecture.

On the city wall, several figures grabbed ropes and climbed up quickly, and the soldiers of Prince Fu who were besieging the city were completely unaware.

It’s a pity that Prince Fu was well protected and was not captured.

Even so, after this battle, the morale of Prince Fu's army had fallen to the bottom.

Yunshan County.

Under the shadow of war, the entire Yunshan County was filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness.

Most of the people outside the city have evacuated into the city. The city is now overcrowded with makeshift shacks everywhere. The air is mixed with the smell of sweat, fireworks and livestock, and the noise is endless.

Gao Ruowang and his group of scholars ran around the city, calming the refugees and organizing people to clean up the streets and distribute supplies, and they were very busy.

"Don't panic, everyone! The guards of Prince Hui's Palace have been deployed outside the city and will definitely be able to defend the county!" Gao Ruowang shouted loudly, standing in front of a shack area. His voice was hoarse from days of hard work, but it carried a calming force.

On the other hand, Zhang Tao and his team took booklets and went door to door to register the population for subsequent food distribution.

"Uncle Wang, there are four people in your family, right?" Zhang Tao's pen slid across the paper. "Starting tomorrow, go to the porridge stand at the street corner every day at noon to get porridge. One portion per person. Don't take more than you want, and don't fight over it."

Uncle Wang nodded repeatedly: "I see, I see. Thank you for the reminder, sir."

Although these scholars did not know how to march or fight, they contributed to the defense of the city in their own way.

The first thing Song Yan did when he woke up every day was to ask, where had the King of Qi's rebels reached?

Fortunately, the rainstorm slowed down the rebels' marching speed and bought Yunshan County some time.

Song Yan thought that she had wrongly blamed God.

It turns out that God is helping them.

In just a few days, most of the grain on the farm had been transferred, and the rest was properly stored in the cellar in the back mountain. The old, the weak, women and children were all resettled in the city, leaving only three hundred guards and young and strong men to guard the farm and act as a decoy.

At the embroidery shop, Song Wanzhou and the embroiderers worked day and night, making batch after batch of medicine kits, filling up the entire room.

She also organized women in the city who had some medical skills to form a temporary rescue team, ready to go on duty at any time.

Shu's father and mother also arrived safely in Yunshan County two days later.

Without much greeting, Shu's mother dragged Song Wanzhou to the medicine shop to help, while Shu's father went to the resettlement site to check the account books and count the medicinal materials.

Although the old couple were over fifty years old, they did not seem flustered at all and did things in an orderly manner, which made Song Yan feel at ease.

Shu Changsheng signed up for the city defense department. Although he was not as skilled in martial arts as Shu Changyu, he had practiced boxing and kicking for several years, so three or five strong men could not get close to him.

Wearing armor now, he looks dignified and heroic.

The second and third sisters-in-law were also busy. They organized a group of young and strong women to carry supplies for defending the city, make fires and cook, and keep the rear in order.

The sisters Yin Yin and Wen Wen are fourteen years old. The elder sister Shu Jin Yin follows their mother to take care of logistics, while the younger sister Shu Jin Wen learns medical skills from An Liu and volunteers to join the rescue team.

The entire Yunshan County is like a high-speed machine. Everyone is in his or her own position, contributing to the upcoming war.

However, the calm was only temporary.

Just after the noon hour, scouts came hurriedly to report that the rebel army of King Qi did not attack Guang'an Prefecture, but divided its troops into two groups. One group was bluffing to tie down Qu Tong, while the main force bypassed Guang'an and headed straight for Yunshan County!
