Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

These words were like a stone hitting a calm lake, creating ripples. It was important to remember that no one capable of leading troops to fight was currently in Guangping.

The return date of Shen Huaizhi and Li Dashan is uncertain, and Shen Lao and Li Dashan cannot come back for the time being.

Sheng Changan's eyes were heavy. "How's Li Dashan doing?"

County Magistrate Wu had also asked, "They haven't come out since they went in. The most recent incident was a few days ago when a giant python nearly broke through our defense line. It was led away by Li Dashan and his men, and its whereabouts remain unknown."

This meant they could only rely on themselves. Sheng Changan looked at Feng Zhihong and asked, "How's the tunnel construction going?"

“It will take a few more days.”

"Complete the tunnel within three days." It would take some time to get here from Lanyang, so the tunnel should be able to catch up. But even so, Sheng Changan was not in a good mood.

She sighed slowly, "How many people are still alive in Lanyang?"

Wu County Magistrate frowned and thought for a moment, "Our love dare not approach, we only know that the land at the city gate is red, and the head of the Lanyang County Magistrate is still hanging at the gate."

Everyone else was shocked. They must have reached some kind of agreement, starting with providing support to the Xianbei from the border counties. Even though there were casualties every time the Xianbei came, they were all manageable. Large-scale massacres had never occurred before.

Chen Hanlin's face was serious. "Could something have happened to the Xianbei?"

Sheng Changan tapped the table with his fingers. This sudden change in fighting style was only due to a temporary replacement of generals. In other words, the king of Xianbei was likely replaced.

"Who is the most promising person to inherit the throne among the Xianbei? Or who has this style of doing things?" Sheng Changan raised his eyes and looked at several people.

Chen Hanlin and Wu Xiancheng looked at each other. If the throne had changed, this situation would not be surprising, but there was only one person who could do such a thing.

"Da Xitai was the second prince of the Xianbei. Rumor has it that he was ruthless, most famously known for having killed his own mother and skinned people alive. However, he was quite accomplished in military tactics and possessed considerable martial prowess."

The more Chen Hanlin spoke, the uglier his expression became. If it was really him, they might not be able to defend Guangping this time.

Everyone present looked at Sheng Changan, who was only ten years old and sitting on the seat. Given this situation, their hope of winning was almost slim.

"How many troops are there in the county now?" Sheng Changan curled her fingers slightly. No matter what, she had to give it a try. It might just be a way to delay time.

"About nine hundred people." Lin Chuan calculated. During this period, Shen Huaizhi and others had gone out one after another, and he was temporarily responsible for the supplies of these people, so he could roughly estimate it.

"How many Xianbei people are there?"

"At least five hundred." County Magistrate Wu frowned. According to the pattern of previous years, it was indeed the case, but he could not be sure this year.

At least five hundred, so the number of people they prepared to massacre the city this time is definitely more than this, and there will be no less than more people.

Although he was a little nervous, Sheng Changan's face was calm and his tone did not change. "How are their weapons prepared?"

Zhang Wen cupped his hands and said, "It will take at least two days for all the weapons to be complete."

"Now hurry up and get these things ready. Collect all the food Zhang Shi can collect as soon as possible. Also, concentrate all the troops in the city."

"Leave a small number of people in the forest, hiding in the tunnel, to support Mr. Shen and Li Dashan. We also need someone familiar with the tunnel to pick up Shen Huaizhi's team."

This was the most important thing. Sheng Changan's eyes flickered slightly. The tunnel was complex, something Shen Huaizhi and the others had never seen before. Moreover, if no one came to support them, once they encountered the Xianbei people head-on, the result was predictable.
