"Can't be mobilized?" Wang Zhongsi was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.

Han Zhisui explained: "At the beginning, Xu Xiang's students also had to obey the deployment of Li Lun, the chief of the marching army. It's just that after Li Lun was defeated, Xu Xiang asked for a cheap edict for him, allowing him to recruit soldiers on the spot and take charge of the defense of Shengzhou City. ”

"Heh, I, the general manager of the four marches, can't mobilize the troops of a city?" Wang Zhongji sneered.

"Dashuai, you must know that Shengzhou City is a special case! The imperial court blatantly suppressed Shengzhou, which is something that the hundred officials know well. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to guard against Shengzhou, although I don't know what is in Shengzhou City that is worthy of such a big move by the imperial court. ”

"Of course, the marshal is not completely incapable of mobilizing the soldiers and horses of Shengzhou, after all, you are the chief of the march canonized by the imperial court. It's just that the handsome man has to think about it carefully, Xu Xiang has not hesitated to risk criticism to win so much power for him in order to gild his student, which shows how important the status of this student is in Xu Xiang's mind. I heard that Xu Xiang's two sons are not successful, and he is a student who can defend against the elite attacks of the rebels with thousands of weak brigades at a young age, which shows that this son is extraordinary. ”

"Dashuai, you have a weak foundation in Beijing, and you still have holy dependents in the past, but now you are ......" Han Zhi said this, glanced at Wang Zhongsi with an anxious face, and saw that he was still expressionless, so he had to continue to persuade: "There are three prime ministers in the political hall, Chen Xilie is a master who doesn't care about things, and Dashuai is not in agreement with Li Linfu, if you offend Xu Xiang again now, at this time of chaos in Beijing......"

"Marshal, the general is leading the troops outside, and the most afraid is to lose the trust of the imperial court!"

Wang Zhongsi turned around, looked at Han Zhi, and replied indifferently: "Don't say it, I have made up my mind, I have ordered the Shengzhou Navy Division to dispatch, if the rebel Navy Division escapes, the military law will not kill him, and a bullet is indispensable!"

Han Zhi looked at Wang Zhongsi and said with a bitter smile: "Dashuai, when can you think for yourself......

Wang Zhonghe's military order was finally passed out, and by the time this harshly worded military order reached Shengzhou City, it was already noon on the second day.

Shengzhou City, inside the Taishou Yamen, Xu Chen, who had just arrived here, took over the military order from the soldiers who delivered the message.

"Someone came, informed the commander of the Shengzhou Naval Division, immediately ordered sailors and warships, and the whole army was dispatched, divided into two teams to march up and down the river respectively, and carefully searched for the traces of the rebels along the way. ”

After Xu Chen quickly read the military order, he immediately passed the order aloud.

Seeing that this young general did not seem to be a false execution of the commander's military order, Wang Zhonghe's personal soldiers who came to deliver the message were greatly satisfied.

When Wang Zhongsi and Han Zhi were discussing, this personal guard was also listening, and when General Wang Zhongsi handed over the order to him, Han Zhi on the side also asked him to pay more attention to the young general's reaction. The active-minded guards naturally understood what the secretary meant, and now they were secretly relieved to see Xu Chen so anxious to carry out the commander's military orders.

"This brother sent the military order of the commander overnight, he must be tired, why don't you go to the guest room to rest for a while?" After General Xu Chen's order was passed down, he immediately rushed to the messenger soldier and said.

"Thank you for your concern! I still need to rush back to Yangzhou to report to the marshal, but I can't stay for a long time. The messenger soldier clasped his fists and saluted.

"That's good! There is no wine in the army, so I will replace the wine with tea and toast my brother with a cup!" Xu Chen held the tea cup on the table in front of the messenger soldier with both hands, and said sincerely with a look of respect.

"Thank you, General!" the messenger hesitated for a moment, but had to take it.

"Farewell!" the messenger soldier turned to leave with a satisfied look on his face after drinking his tea.

After the people walked away, Lu Hao, who had just arrived, walked in from outside the door and said with a smile: "The rebel sailors have been walking for most of the day, and they are only leaving now, and there will be ghosts if they can find them!"

Xu Chen didn't laugh, but said to a young man behind him: "Inform the fourth child and ask him to send someone to recapture Gaoyou." ”

The young man was ordered to retreat, Lu Hao looked at Xu Chen, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are becoming more and more like a traitor now!"

"Cut, I don't plan to do anything loyal anyway!" Xu Chen replied nonchalantly.

"By the way, has the news from the south come back?" asked Xu Chen.

After the city of Quanzhou was broken, the rebel army was marching towards Jianzhou, and with the strength of the Jianzhou army, I am afraid that it will not be long before the three states north of Lingnan Road will fall into the hands of the rebels. ”

After listening to Lu Hao's report, Xu Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! After spending so much money, the intelligence network has finally been set up." ”

"How's the conscription going?" Xu Chen asked again.

"It's not bad, according to what the eldest brother said last time, school-age teenagers were selected from the refugees to enlist in the army, and now more than 800 people have been selected. The elite route is not high. Lu Hao replied.

"Don't care about the number of people, the key is to look at the quality, don't bring those thorns to the house. Xu Chen said, suddenly remembering that he hadn't been to the conscription site for so many days, and he was a little concerned, so he said: "It's just right, there's nothing to do, let's go to the conscription place to have a look." ”

"It's okay!" Lu Hao nodded.

The two led a few teenagers out of the Taishou Yamen, got into the carriage and drove straight towards the east gate.

Outside the east gate, the farm in Longzangpu is now in ruins.

Xu Chen always strives for perfection in every step he makes, and after discussing with Yang Xun last time, Xu Chen also directed and acted in an offensive and defensive battle at the farm.

When the rebels attacked, they did not attack Shengzhou City, but turned to Gaoyou, and at the same time burned down a farm on the way. And the troops left behind in Shengzhou are limited, only enough to protect themselves, and they can't go out of the city to stop the rebels, so that Gaoyou falls into the hands of the enemy......"

This is a letter from Xu Chen to the court in the name of the ambassador of the Shengzhou system, pleading to the court for his failure to defend Gaoyou City.

Naturally, the sin could not be reduced, and Wang Ce, the third elder in Chang'an, handed over a detailed piece of information to his teacher Xu Fan almost at the same time, which showed that the people in Gaoyou City had been placed in Shengzhou City by Xu Chen in advance, and the villagers in the small farm along the way also migrated to the nearby mountains when the war broke out. In the end, the rebels burned down a small deserted village.

Saying that once he is born and twice cooked, since he deceived the teacher once, and now he has deceived the teacher again, Wang Ce can also do it without blushing and heartbeat.

Originally, Xu Chen wanted to take Shengzhou as his foundation to operate, after all, Shengzhou has a superior geographical location, and the indifference of the imperial court in politics provides good convenience for Xu Chen, the prime minister, in Shengzhou. For this reason, when the farm and shipyard were built, Xu Chen spent a lot of effort.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and Xu Chen didn't expect that he would meet the mysterious person so soon. Now, although it is safe for the time being, Shengzhou City is also completely exposed. Monk Huineng's statement could not give Xu Chen Wanquan confidence, and Xu Chen was still used to holding a qiē in his own hands.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the burnt black land opposite Longzangpu through the car window, Lu Hao was a little distracted. After all, it's a home that I've lived in for most of the year!

Farms and shipyards use cement on a large scale, a building material that transcends the ages, and Xu Chen is not prepared to leak it. In the battle with the mysterious man, Xu Chen found that reinforced concrete was even more defensive than the refined steel.

With such a sharp weapon, Xu Chen naturally had to guard against it.

If the mysterious person comes back next time, then Shengzhou City will definitely become the first choice of the other party. Xu Chen was not allowed to leave the slightest trace of himself to the enemy, let alone a sharp weapon like cement. When the farm and shipyard were demolished, Xu Chen used a large amount of explosives, and all the ruins of the building were transported by ship to a plain southeast of the Ryukyus, where Xu Chen had chosen a new base of roots. Not only Shengzhou, Xu Chen also sent a group of people to sneak back to Yuzhang and Chang'an Island, and carefully searched all the places where cement had appeared. Although Xu Chen also cleaned up when he left Yuzhang, out of caution, Xu Chen still made another confirmation. As for whether such a large-scale action has been noticed by the Wan family, Xu Chen can't be sure. Fortunately, now, Wanjia is still an ally for Xu Chen.

"Don't look at it!" Xu Chen patted Lu Hao's shoulder and said warmly: "The Ryukyu side has already sent craftsmen over, and it won't be long before the farm and shipyard can be built again." ”

Lu Hao turned his head, looked at Xu Chen, and asked with a smile, "How long can we stay there in the Ryukyus?"

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I should be able to stay for a while! ”

Lu Hao smiled and didn't say anything.

The carriage gradually moved away, and after passing the place where the farm was located, it turned a corner along Longzangpu, and a piece of wooden shanty came into view.

This is the place Xu Chen chose for the refugees, not far from Shengzhou, and it takes a few detours by land, but the boat can be reached in a few moments by going straight down the river along Longzangpu.

Here, on the river at the edge of the resettlement site, several tall warships are always guarding there, and the trestle bridge on the pier leads directly to the interior of the resettlement site, so that the refugees in the resettlement area can be evacuated to the big ships as soon as they are attacked by the rebels. On the land, there was a high fence, and several teams of soldiers in armor patrolled around day and night.

It is precisely because of the large ships and soldiers that the refugees in the resettlement area can live here with peace of mind.

In June next year, Ge Shuhan was defeated by thieves and closed the door, and Guozhong ridiculed Xuanzong Xingshu. Ding You, to Ma Weidun, the six armies do not advance, please punish the Yang family. So Zhu Guozhong gave the concubine to commit suicide. The chariot will be dispatched, and it will be left behind to proclaim to the people.
