"Where did the brat come from? He got so bold that he dared to be so disrespectful to my Lord Xiangguo!"
The guards around Su Changqing immediately dismounted, drew their long swords, and were about to behead the child in public.
"Okay!" Su Changqing stopped him immediately: "He's just a kid, there's no need to be familiar with him!"
The guard didn't have much to say, so he kicked the little boy to the ground and got on his horse.
The entire Caichang City was in chaos. Large areas of houses were in ruins. Many people were kneeling on the streets, crying and fighting.
The soldiers of Nanchu had no sympathy at all, and they would kill any common people without hesitation if they resisted at all.
This place was originally the capital of the Cai Kingdom and was considered a relatively prosperous city, but now it has become a purgatory on earth.
Cai Guo is not ranked among the nineteen princes in the world. It can only be regarded as a small and unpopular country.
When the Shang Dynasty was established, Cai Shu, the first king of the Cai Kingdom, was granted a title to the land of Cai, thus establishing the country.
Hundreds of years ago, the Cai State was considered a powerful prince, but surrounded by powerful enemies, the country gradually declined, and most of the city was divided up by various princes.
In the end, only Caichang City and a few surrounding cities remained.
Ten years ago, there was civil strife in Cai. Yongxu, Nanchu and Jingjiang forces intervened, and it was finally completely destroyed.
The territory of Cai State was also divided among the three kingdoms, of which Yongxu got most of it. However, almost all the wealth of Cai State was plundered by Nan Chu, and even its royal family was killed.
Only the Crown Prince Cai, the Crown Princess and a dozen personal guards were left to fight their way out of the siege. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince Cai died on the road in the end, and the whereabouts of the Crown Princess are also unknown.
Su Changqing stood in front of the city lord's palace and glanced indifferently at the tragic scene on the street, with extremely complex emotions flashing across his face.
"Here's an order. All the warriors on the city wall need to kill one of the enemy's heads to be promoted to one level. If they die in battle, they will be given double the settlement fee! If they finally defend the city, the amount promised by the Prime Minister will be doubled, but
If the city is destroyed, I will die together with all the soldiers."
The surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that their Prime Minister would be so generous.
After giving the order, Su Changqing ordered people to close the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
From now on, this is Cai Changcheng's last line of defense.
The order was quickly transmitted to the city wall. When all the soldiers heard the order, they immediately burst out with endless murderous intent and fighting spirit.
Su Changqing's status in Nanchu was not low, and he actually had some of Ling Yin's rights.
This official position is equivalent to that of Prime Minister in other vassal states, but Su Changqing is not a real Ling Yin after all, so everyone below him calls him Prime Minister.
It can be regarded as an affirmation of his status.
Su Changqing doesn't care about this at all, as long as the power in his hands is beneficial to him.
The battle outside the city was about to break out, and Yongxu's soldiers rushed to the top of the city like tigers.
Since the war broke out between the two countries, Yongxu has been suppressed everywhere. Their soldiers have long been holding back their anger. The 200,000 troops who came here this time are the last elites in their country. It seems that this posture is to compete with Nanchu.
Fight to the death.
It's a pity that after Su Changqing's plan, Nan Chu's soldiers showed great potential, and Yong Xu's army would not be able to attack at all for a while.
Su Changqing sat steadily in the city lord's mansion, poured a glass of wine leisurely, and raised it into the air.
"All the people who betrayed you in this world, Changqing will send them down one by one to be buried with you!"
