Chapter 320: The Crazy Demon's Song 2
The day after the border captured by the Beiyi, the north fell into chaos, the ministers of Beijing still refused to send troops, and everyone in the northern prefects was in danger, and a large number of officials and people fled to the capital for a while. Fortunately, the great Confucian princes of the north stuck to their place, gathered their former protΓ©gΓ©s to form a civil alliance, and vowed to live and die with the north. It was at this moment of crisis that Chunge, the prefect of Songcheng, stepped forward and recruited troops in the name of the prefect, although it was a great rebellion, but no one objected, and the people in the north admired Chunge's benevolence and strong support.
"My lord, you really recruit soldiers." Song Qi took the notice written by Chunge himself, and he really didn't dare to post it outside.
"There is no other way." Chunge didn't know that he had made this budding bird at this time, and when the day came, he would be a big target in the eyes of others.
"My lord, I can't do it." Song Qi's hand is not in order to keep this thing is Chunge's future talisman, with his friendship with Chunge, he can go down there to stick it.
"I'll do it myself." After that, Chunge snatched the notice from Song Qi's hand, walked out of the mansion quickly, and walked to a crowded place as soon as he went out, fortunately, the flow of people in Songcheng was still relatively strong, and the big guys had not left the north yet.
Chun Ge found a higher place, and regardless of whether it was safe or not, he stepped on it and said in a loud voice: "Pedestrians, please stay." β
The crisis in the north, so most of the pedestrians walked in a hurry, and at this time, they saw Chun Ge stepping extremely high, and Chun Ge's red robe was particularly eye-catching, so he stopped.
"Everyone, this official is the official of the Songcheng Governor's Office." Chun Ge made a move first. said politely: "Today is abrupt, but I believe everyone has heard that Beiyi has invaded my border, and it will invade Songcheng in a few days." Although my official Chunge is soft-spoken, he is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. β
"At this time, it is a national crisis, and my official Chun Song is courageous, and I sincerely invite all of you to join the army, serve Yousu together, resist Beiyi, and return me to a peaceful and peaceful north." As soon as the words fell, Chunge pasted the notice in his hand on the notice board behind him and bowed heavily.
Chunge's notice is extremely concise, that is, four words, defend the homeland. But it is precisely these four words that show Chunge's determination to coexist with the north, and even Chunge, a former foreigner, has the will to defend the north to the death. Not to mention those who were born and raised in the north. More than 1,000 people came to sign up on the same day. Most of them are strong men in their twenties and thirties. Moreover, as soon as the news of Chunge's recruitment came out, it spread all over the north, and those bloody pure masters in the north rushed to Chunge overnight to discuss the plan to resist the enemy.
"Your Excellency. Preliminary calculations have already numbered more than 8,000 people. Song Qi shook the booklet in his hand and walked into Chunge's study excitedly.
"Eight thousand." Chunge said thoughtfully: "It's a little more than I expected." Chun Ge has already let 6,000 guards mix in this newly recruited general, that is to say, 2,000 people have joined the army in just two days, and even the people in the north still have the enthusiasm to resist the war.
"It's only been two days since the adults, and I thought those people had escaped, but I didn't expect that there would really be an unexpected gain." Song Qi sat next to Chun Ge and opened the list of verifying the people who had joined the army, and was happy while counting.
"Oops" Song Qi used the booklet to put his head on the melon seeds and said: "My lord, there are a lot of people this time, and I am afraid that your charge of recruiting soldiers without permission will be confirmed." β
"Song Qi" Chunge said lightly: "Since I have already posted the announcement, even if I haven't recruited a single soldier." It is also a private recruitment, rather than thinking about the future, it is better to grasp the moment. β
"My lord, this is a fight against the water." Song Qi blinked and said with a smile: "Since the adult has the determination to die, I, Song Qi, will never drag the adult's hind legs." β
"Don't worry, from today onwards, I will never say this kind of forward-looking and backward words again." Song Qi didn't do it before, this time the top priorities were not solved, why should he think too much, after all, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, he doesn't believe that if Chun Ge makes great achievements, the court will still kill people.
"My lord, Thirteen is back." Anu walked in through the door, carrying a plate of pastries in her hand.
"Let him in." Chun Ge immediately got up, snatched the roster from Song Qi's hand, and handed it to Anu. "Good boy to find out who is on the roster." Chunge took the pastry from Anu's hand and put it on Chunge's desk beside him.
"Childe, you must eat." Anu glanced at Chun Ge uncomfortably before leaving, counting that Chun Ge hadn't eaten properly for two days today, he finally made Chun Ge's favorite pastry, just hoping that Chun Ge would have a bite.
"My lord, General Qin has a letter for you." As soon as Thirteen arrived at the mansion, he drank water in the kitchen and saw Anu, and as soon as he turned around, he took the letter to Chunge to make a remittance.
Chunge didn't speak, he stuffed the pastry in his mouth and stretched out his hand towards Thirteen, Thirteen respectfully handed the letter to Chunge, and Chunge opened the letter when he received it. It can be said that he was startled when he didn't know if he didn't know it, Chun Ge frowned, and he didn't even care about eating his favorite pastries.
"My lord, what's going on at the front?" Song Qi didn't step forward to look at Chun Ge, he was in a hurry at this time.
Chun Ge sneered and stuffed the letter in his hand to Song Qi, and said: "Beiyi is really overwhelming this time, Ashina let people intercept the grain and grass of Qinling, and then bluffed back and forth, taking the opportunity to shake the hearts of the border army, and then took the border." β
"Good strategy." Even Song Qi, a pretentious person, couldn't help but applaud Ashina after watching Ashina win the border, which shows that Ashina's use of troops is rare in the world.
"There is not enough food and grass in Qinling, I'm afraid it won't last for ten days." Chun Ge opened the grain and grass records of Songcheng, and the grain reserve on it was only one month, and it could not provide grain and grass for Qin Ling at all.
"My lord, I'm back." People arrived before the sound, which shows how anxious the people are.
"Wang Xiang is back." As soon as Song Qi was happy, he rushed out, he had been with Wang Xiang for a long time, how could he not recognize this guy's voice, and after a while, Song Qi and Wang Xiang came shoulder to shoulder.
"Your Excellency." As soon as Wang Xiang saw Chunge, he knelt down directly.
"What are you doing?" Chun Ge hurriedly stepped forward, and as he spoke, he was about to help Wang Xiang up, saying in his heart that even if this person didn't complete the task, he didn't need to make this big gift.
"Sir, don't help me." After finishing speaking, Wang Xiang kowtowed firmly and said, "This is what my grandfather asked me to knock, but I myself am very willing." β
After a head knock, Wang Xiang shook his clothes and stood up on his own, and said in a deep voice: "The north is in trouble, many officials have abandoned the city and fled, but my lord, you have never given up, Wang Xiang's grandfather asked me to kowtow for everyone in the north, and besides, I really respect the adult's person, and I am not wronged by this head." β
"Does the prince have anything to say?" Chunge had already sent someone to contact the prince, but he didn't see the prince's reply for a long time.
"Grandpa said, just do it, the Wang family will provide all the support." Wang Xiang still remembers the look on the face of the prince who really said this sentence, and thinks that the prince is very satisfied with Chunge's actions.
"By the way, half of the grain this time was bought by the southeast, and half was sent by the Wang family." Wang Xiang recorded the booklet of grain from his arms, he completed the task perfectly, and for the first time, the Wang family united to help Chunge raise food.
Compared with Song Qi and others, the princes and Wang Xiang were all surprised by Chunge's behavior of defending Songcheng this time, because in their eyes, Chunge is a slippery fish that does not spare his hands, this person is an old fritter in the officialdom, although he does not please the officials in Beijing, but Chunge is very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they dreamed that Chunge would come forward in this situation to recruit troops for the last line of defense in the north. Even the prince did not dare to say that he wanted to recruit troops easily, after all, behind the prince was not just one person, but the entire Wang family, as well as the clans in the north. But Chunge was willing to risk the crime of betraying the family and gathering people to rebel to make a last stand for the north, which is why the Wang family put aside their previous ties and supported it this time.
Chun Ge took the booklet and looked at it, it was a joy to come, and after careful calculation, there were more than 20,000 loads of food this time, which was enough for their military rations for half a year. Song Qi also couldn't wait to go to Chunge's side to check the booklet together, Song Qi was not as good as Chunge's forbearance, when he saw the numbers on the booklet, he hated that all those grains crushed him.
"My lord, the prince of the North has returned." The yacha led Su Youren to report to Chunge.
"Shizi." Chun Ge handed the booklet to Song Qi and greeted Su Youren with a smile.
"Shizi" has Chunge taking the lead, and everyone in the house also greets Su Youren one after another.
"No need to be polite." Su Youren waved his hand, looked at Chunge, and said, "This son of the world has 40,000 troops to defend Songcheng against the enemy. β
"Thank you." Looking at Su Youren's tired face, Chun Ge could only say thank you, and handed over the pastries and said, "The prince is tired, eat some pastries." β
Su Youren wanted to go to rest after seeing Chunge, after all, he had been on the road for two days and two nights, and he was very tired, but Chunge glanced at him slightly, and his fatigue had been reduced a lot, in order to hide the small changes in his heart, Su Youren still took the pastry handed by Chunge.
"Soldiers, food." At the moment when Su Youren ate the pastry, Chun Ge looked at Wang Xiang and Su Youren in front of him, and unconsciously spit out these two words. It was also Wang Xiang's return that brought sufficient military rations, and Su Youren's arrival found a food for Wang Xiang, and the two symbolized not a soldier and a grain.
"There it is." Chun Ge clenched his left hand into a fist and hammered it heavily on the table on the side, and said: "Qin Ling said that Beiyi is 50,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the realm, and now he only has 20,000 horses left, if we bring the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the prince to Qin Ling, we can suppress Beiyi in terms of numbers." β
"In addition, Wang Xiang's food is enough for us to survive for more than half a year, and there is a shortage of food in Beiyi's great drought, so we only have to stay outside the border and wait for Beiyi to run out of food, when they have no way to fight forward, no way to retreat, and there is nothing to loot in the wild, and we can win without a fight in less than a month." Chunge's eyes flashed with a strange light, this time the time and place were on his side, it was up to Ashina to take the call.
