As mentioned earlier, Guan Ting has four generals and three Wenchen. Among them was a general, the one who rode through the city gate and encountered Lu Linlan's five men, and he was carrying a letter from Guan Ting to another important princely power. It means that he is away on a business trip and can't come back in a short time.

At this time, under the influence of Guan Ting, there were four counties. How many generals are needed to maintain the daily law and order of the four counties?

If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is likely that not a single military general will be needed.

But now are troubled times.

In troubled times, to maintain law and order, more deterrence is needed. This is quite the same as the need for more patrol officers in crime-prone areas.

As a result, at least two generals are needed in the four counties.

Moreover, those two generals are still very hard. Today you will be in one county, and tomorrow you will need to go to another county.

In this way, there is only one general left.

Is it enough for a military general to attack the two counties of Hanjiang and Yangshao?

Of course not enough.

Reality is not a game.

When a military general leads an army to attack a certain county, in reality, another county must come out to the rescue.

The problem arises - at least one military general is missing.

——

At the earliest, the military general who met Lu Linlan's five people at the gate of the city asked the people at the checkpoint to lead Lu Linlan and his party to the lord, but also brought a message.

It's just that the message was general, only saying that Lu Linlan and his party were talents, but did not say what kind of talents they were.

Obviously, Lu Linlan and his party are all women, and they are all young women. Even if Tao Nian and Dongfang Yiqiao, who are dressed up in more old-fashioned clothes, they don't look very old.

What kind of talent can a young woman be?

What ordinary people can think of is usually embroidery, weaving, and so on. It is generally not associated with martial arts.

Therefore, Guan Ting and the other seven discussed for a long time, but they didn't think in the direction of Lu Linlan and the others.

In the end, a Wenchen named Zhou Hongzhi said: "Aren't there five women here today? The lord might as well ask, maybe they have a military general they know, but they don't necessarily say it's not necessarily. ”

In this way, because there was no other way, holding on to the hope of what happened, the seven people came to the rented house where Lu Linlan and the others lived.

——

This is a two-way yard.

On the floor plan, it is equivalent to two quadrangle courtyards, plus a small courtyard at the back.

A military general stepped forward and knocked on the door.

As soon as I slapped it, the door opened. Lu Linlan and the five of them came out.

The military general who slapped the door retreated to Guan Ting's side and said, "A few newcomers, no labor, I don't know if there is anything we need help with?"

Lu Linlan and the five ignored it, and they all looked at Guan Ting.

Seeing this, Guan Ting didn't come to nothing, took a step forward, clenched his fists, and said straight to the point: "A few geniuses with the world, are you willing to follow Guan to run for the people of the world?"

Lu Linlan immediately pressed Qiu Shuyi's shoulder with her hand, naturally to prevent Qiu Shuyi from speaking.

There are five people here, but in fact, it is usually only Qiu Shuyi and Lu Linlan who come forward to answer.

Lu Linlan stopped Qiu Shuyi from speaking, because she was worried that she would say something like "immortals don't ask about mortals".

"Immortals don't ask about mortals", that's right. It's just that Lu Linlan thinks that she just knows it, and she can't say it. Having said that, it may be restricted.

For example, immortals do not kill mortals. That's for sure. But if mortals provoke repeatedly, immortals can also kill mortals. Immortals don't kill mortals, just because they don't want to get involved in cause and effect, avoid demons, and reduce anger. It does not mean that immortals should be insulted by mortals. It doesn't mean that if you kill a mortal, you will be immediately punished by the Heavenly Dao.

Lu Linlan knows that not all mortals in the world are good people. If it is said that "immortals don't ask about mortals", some mortals may rely on "immortals don't kill mortals" to gain an inch, and insult immortals in turn.

Therefore, Lu Linlan stepped forward, clenched her fists and said, "I'm sorry, I waited for five people, and I came here to start a sect and accept students." Therefore, it is not appropriate to work under the command of Guan County. However, if there is something wrong with the county order, you can occasionally help. ”

When Guan Ting heard "accepting students", he thought of Wenzhi, and guessed that most of the five people in front of him were literary talents, and they couldn't quench their thirst far from water.

However, literary talent is also talent. It is not needed at this time, but it can be used later. Even if the other party does not depend on the government and does not depend on the government, it is also beneficial to run the school in a private way.

Therefore, it cannot be offended.

Guan Ting hesitated, and a person stood up next to him and said: "The yard that I just rented is very troublesome to clean, so it's better for everyone to come together, it's easy to do things with many people." As he spoke, he walked forward.

This man is not going to go quickly. gave Lu Linlan and the five people room to block.

But the other party came to help clean up, and Lu Linlan and the five people didn't seem to have any reason to stop them.

Since no one said anything to stop them, Guan Ting and the other six people also took the same step forward.

Lu Linlan took the lead and stepped aside. The other four did the same, and they also let them go to the side.

——

Coming down the street, take five stairs to the foyer. After three steps, enter the door.

Two steps ahead, there is a photo wall. According to the explanation of the wall, its main function is to block ghosts who can only walk in a straight line. That explanation is, of course, untenable. In fact, the main function of the wall and the screen is to block the line of sight, and the secondary function is to block the wind.

Past the wall, turn left and right.

Guan Ting and his party were seven people, four turned right and three turned left.

Who knows, after turning out of the wall, there is actually a big lake in front of you!

The area of the lake is at least more than 1,000 acres.

Where has this been?

The seven people immediately looked behind them and saw that the wall was still there. The seven of them all wanted to return.

However, Lu Linlan and the other five followed. It is no longer convenient to return.

The seven people retreated, and Lu Linlan and the other five people also came out.

Fortunately, there is still some distance from the lake, and there is a place where people can stand.

Lu Linlan said: "This lake has just been moved from another place, and it has not been cleaned yet, and it is a little muddy, which obstructs everyone's eyes, so I'm sorry." ”

"This ......," Guan Ting was about to say, where did the water come from for such a big lake. As soon as I said a word, I found that the other party had already answered, and it was "moved from somewhere else". So Guan Ting couldn't go on.

In fact, what Guan Ting wanted to ask was not this, but how the space of the two courtyards became so vast, and how so much water was moved.

Lu Linlan paused for a moment, and then said: "So much water, since the county order has been seen, in the future, if there is a major drought in the county, it needs to rain or something, just command." ”

Qiu Shuyi said: "If we stay here, will there be a big drought here?"

"Of course not," Lu Linlan said, "I'm just saying it casually, anyway, it's a promise that doesn't need to be kept, it's nothing." ”

As long as these five people stay here, there will be no major drought here! Guan Ting seems to have heard some terrible information again.

——

"By the way, Guan County Order, there is going to be a war recently, right?" asked Lu Linlan.

"Yes...... There is such a thing," Guan Ting said, "but for the time being......"

"I wonder if we can go and see?" Lu Linlan said, "The price we are willing to pay is to defend a goal." The size of the target is the size of the lake. It can be fixed or mobile. ”

Guan Ting hit the snake with the stick and asked, "Can't a few people be responsible for the attack?"

The answer is no. "To attack is to kill mortals. Defense, not so.

The so-called immortal cannot kill mortals, which is actually this direct relationship.

Actually, defense is also offense. If you defend well, you can free up more offensive power. That's what Heaven doesn't care about.

Heaven doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that mortals won't question. Therefore, it is not possible to say things like "immortals do not ask about mortal affairs".

Guan Ting thought about it, what he was worried about in this attack on Hanjiang and Yangshao counties was that the two counties would be attacked. If Lu Linlan and the five of them can really succeed in holding one side, the matter will be done.

"Soldiers and wars need to be treated with caution. If the Guan County Order needs to verify our defensive capabilities, please feel free to say it. ”

——

Because they saw the big lake and felt the magic of Lu Linlan's five people, Guan Ting and the other seven people were very shocked.

However, what the hearts of the seven people are concerned with is still to make meritorious contributions.

None of the seven lost their identities.

Guan Ting listened to Lu Linlan's words and looked at the three generals.

Most of the time, the generals of this world carry weapons with them.

There are exceptions. At the moment, there are two generals, but they only carry swords and do not carry long weapons.

There was only one man with a long weapon in his hand.

When the man saw Guan Ting coming over, he raised his big knife and slashed at Qiu Shuyi and the other four.

Why didn't Lu Linlan be included?

It was because Lu Linlan was talking and talking that she was a little far away from the four of them.

——

The big knife slashed, and in the panic, Qiu Shuyi and the four dodged.

Qiu Shuyi and Tao Nian reached a height of more than ten zhang in the air. Gao Qiu and Dongfang were coincidental, and they flashed to a distance of twenty zhang away.

Seeing this, Lu Linlan immediately shouted: "Cut at me, I won't dodge or dodge!"

The sword-wielding general was worried about hurting Lu Linlan, so he hesitated for a moment and looked at Guan Ting.

Lu Linlan simply stretched out his left hand: "But does your heart hurt me? Then cut it off on your hand! At most, you can cut off your hand, and you won't die." ”

The sword-wielding general was encouraged, and without hesitation, he slashed at Lu Linlan's left wall with a brush.

Suddenly, there was a sound similar to the collision of metal.

Just for the huge earthquake, the sword-wielding generals burst into the tiger's mouth, and the big knife was released.

The big knife was taken off, but he intended it. If you don't get rid of it, the big knife will probably break.

Lu Linlan said: "It's okay, it's okay." Actually, the four of them can do it. It happened suddenly, so they avoided it. ”

Because of Lu Linlan's words, a few people on Guan Ting's side remembered that it seemed that two of them had taken off to the sky just now?

Really? But if man has no wings, how can he go to heaven?

When I looked at it again, there was no one in the sky.

Looking at it again, Qiu Shuyi and the other four were all on the water.

On the water, Limbo stands, not in the water, drifting with the current.

Since bypassing the wall, all the things I have seen are too strange and weird.

Guan Ting said: "Since this is the case, then it is decided." Before I send troops, I will send someone to inform you. Then he took six other people and walked out.

——

After going out, I looked back and there was nothing unusual.

returned, and then came again at a different time, walked around the house for a week, and still entered the yard twice.

How can two courtyards fit a thousand acres of large lakes?

Zhou Hongzhi said: "Obviously, those five women are either immortals or demons. Definitely not human anyway. ”

Another Wenchen, Hou Guangqi, said: "It may also be a demon." Or what are they going to do on the battlefield? Probably to devour souls. ”

Guan Ting said, "Okay. No matter what they are, in short, we must worship the ghosts and stay away. Be respectful and courteous, but try not to approach. ”

"Yes!"

——

In the end, because the county was guarding the Han River, Guan Ting decided to attack Yangshao first.

After getting the news, Lu Linlan set up an enchantment at the four city gates of Hanjiang County, which could pass through a small number of people, but not a large number of soldiers.

It's an enchantment, not a mechanism. If it was the latter, the Han River could be broken into pieces and the soldiers would be dressed as civilians and go out of the city.

But enchantments don't work.

First of all, weapons cannot go out of the city. Secondly, if there are more people out of the city, it will alarm Lu Linlan.

So, on the side of the Han River, even if it was defended.

Regarding this, Guan Ting is not very reassured. Guan Ting sent a team of sentinels to carry the arrows.

If the sentry near the city gate finds that the soldiers are out of the city, they will shoot arrows, and then relay the way, one by one, to pass to the pavilion.

The arrow is not an arrow tied to a firecracker. Rather, the arrow is tied to a bamboo whistle. It will not be affected by the weather.

——

Troops were dispatched.

Lu Linlan and the five of them were sitting in a big car.

None of the five had any objection to this.

Women, it's not appropriate to appear too much in front of soldiers.

As for the bumps in the carriage, there is no need to think about it. Monk, how can you not stand the bumps?

Hurried and walked for two hours, and arrived at Yangshao.

The movement of the army is very large.

Before the army arrived, Yang Shao's side knew about it.

After knowing this, he immediately closed the city gate and prepared to defend.

Guan Ning lined up outside the city, and then, together with a military general, the two of them went out and approached the city wall.

On the city wall, Di Gaoyuan, the county commander of Yangshao County, asked: "Is it Chengxian Guanting?"

"Exactly!"

Gao Yuan asked: "I have always heard that Chengxian Guanting eliminated violence and peace, and returned the people to life. I don't know why Guan County ordered to lead troops to come here today?"

Guan Ting was dumbfounded.

——

Yes, when occupying the four counties, Guanting was indeed regarded as eliminating violence and peace, and returning the people to rest and recuperate.

But that's not anymore. Now it's time to expand the turf war.

Yangshao County, in the previous riots, did not fall. Moreover, today, the people of Yangshao County have begun to recuperate.

Ah, Guan Ting's troops, there was suddenly no excuse.

——

In ancient times, when troops were dispatched, they needed excuses.

Only a reasonable excuse, a suitable reason, can make the action of sending troops righteous.

The righteous teachers will be upright and morale-boosting. The unjust division is languishing and demoralized.

In ancient times, it was said that 100,000 troops fought with another 120,000 troops. The actual fight is the hundreds of people who have encountered each other. When those hundreds of people won, their morale was greatly boosted. When those hundreds were defeated, the soldiers behind would panic and flee.

The side that boosts morale, the other side that chases and flees in panic is called covering up.

As long as a cover kill is formed, 10,000 can also kill 50,000.

——

Guan Ting was in a dilemma.

There is no doubt that he could not think of a suitable excuse, so he had to withdraw from the army.

As soon as the soldiers are withdrawn, the soldiers of Yangshao County will definitely come out to cover up and kill.

Although there are only 6,000 soldiers in Yangshao County, as long as they form a cover-up and kill, the 10,000 people and horses they bring out can only be wiped out.
