It has been two days and one night since Ji Nantang set off with his troops.

In the past two days, more than 30,000 people have been evacuated through the port of Lishui, but the city is not deserted, and it is still crowded next to each other, and the streets and alleys are full of people.

Li Chengyun and a group of cronies stood on the viewing platform on the north side of the port, condescending and silently watching all this.

After Ji Nantang left, news came from the northern battlefield one after another.

The enemy who came to attack was indeed the army of the Giroud Kingdom, which should have returned to China a long time ago.

Ji Nantang led 3,000 men and horses to gallop for a day, hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with the enemy's vanguard after nightfall yesterday.

As he said to everyone before leaving, Ji Jiajun first demolished the Yangqing Bridge, forced the enemy to detour for more than ten miles before crossing the Jingou River, followed by the burial of Yinxi Road, and burned the camping slope.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of dead grass on the camping slope in Layue was covered with snow, giving the enemy room to take refuge, this fire alone would have inflicted heavy losses on more than 10,000 people in the Jilu forward.

The fierce battle has lasted for a day and a night now, according to the time, if it were not for Ji Nantang to lead the troops to go around, at this time, the army of the Jilu Kingdom had already killed under Lishui City.

Earlier today, Li Chengyun had already handed over the family members of the soldiers in the city to be sent away first.

He also specially inquired about Wang Xi and the Li family, and learned that Li Cao personally sent Wen Sheng's master and family members onto the ship, and invited the old man Qi Qin and Qi to escort him with the boat, nodded and said, "This is very good." ”

Mi Jingyang has been accompanying Li Chengyun, and seeing that he is preoccupied, he said: "Grandpa Guo, rest assured, Lishui has already organized nearly 10,000 troops to defend the city, and the last general estimates that tomorrow will be such a time." The Zhangzhou naval army could arrive, although the enemy was numerous, there were 20,000 or 30,000 people in the city. It can almost last until General Meng and them come back to help. ”

Yang Caixu, the second son of King Ming, said with a sad face: "General Mi is really too optimistic, half of your 20,000 people are ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield, even if you give them all the swords and guns, three or five may not be able to use one of them, and half of them are sailors, this is not on the boat!" ”

Mi Jingyang was silent. The little prince of the heart can be demolished, and I am also trying to boost morale.

Li Chengyun didn't wait for the two to speak, and suddenly heard a commotion from the port terminal.

Everyone looked down. I saw that there was a commotion in the queue to get on the boat, a group of people pushed and shoved, and soon a soldier went over to pull people away, and I don't know who shouted "Grandpa Guo" in the night wind. The voice was rather poignant.

Li Chengyun waved his hand. The guards next to him went down to ask what was wrong.

After stopping for a while, Li Cao came back and reported: "Grandpa Guo, he is a rich family in the city, and he wants to bring his family and a large amount of luggage on the boat, and only their family will occupy half of the boat, and the general will tell them to either leave their things or leave them all." ”

Li Chengyun sighed: "Extraordinary times. Human life matters. You're doing a good job. If the order continues, all of them will be treated equally. If you are reluctant to have wealth and family business, you will stay and defend Lishui City with your father! ”

Li Cao answered, and was about to turn to leave, when suddenly a louder commotion sounded from outside the dock, which was faintly mixed with crying.

Li Chengyun and others looked at each other awe-inspiringly.

Soon, a general and colonel came to the viewing platform with a few people who looked like ordinary people, and a guard came over and whispered: "Grandpa Guo, there are rumors in the city that General Ji's team has been wiped out, and the enemy army will be outside Lishui City in a few hours." ”

Mi Jingyang was taken aback, and took the initiative to say, "Grandpa Guo, I'll take a look." ”

This rumor started out of nowhere, and the more it spread, the more fierce it became, some people couldn't wait to evacuate by boat, and dragged their children and girls to go out of the city, but there were more people outside who wanted to hide in the city.

The dock is even more chaotic, if it weren't for Ji Jiajun maintaining order, everyone would rush to the boat, and not even a boat would want to go out.

Mi Jingyang immediately sent people to quell the rumors and arrest the spies who spread the rumors.

At this time, a group of soldiers came to the harbor on horseback, turned over and dismounted, squeezed through the crowd, and went straight to the viewing platform.

Led by a scout captain, covered in dust, his face was full of sweat, and he didn't know whether he was tired or scared, and when he arrived on the stage, he saw that Li Chengyun, Mi Jingyang, and Li Cao were all there, and he didn't care that there were other people on the side, so he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa Qiyuguo, General Mi, there is news from the front, General Ji has been assassinated!" ”

"What?" Not only Mi Jingyang and Li Cao exclaimed in surprise, but even Li Chengyun felt that his eyes were dark.

Li Cao didn't care about humility, and grabbed everyone's heads and asked, "What's the situation with the general?" ”

The scout captain cried: "The assassin is from Baiyunwu, who killed and injured many of our brothers, and has been killed, but he is just a general...... The injury was not light, and Captain Jing Jie passed on the news that the general had confessed before he fell unconscious, and spread the news that he was seriously injured, and then the whole army retreated in the direction of Houyang in the west. Now the enemy soldiers are divided into two ways, half to chase the general, half to leave the water! ”

Li Chengyun was almost speechless, and after a while, his tiger eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Nantang ......"

Ji Nantang did not hesitate to use himself as bait to buy precious time for him and everyone who left the water.

Ji Nantang has led the army for many years and has made great achievements, not to mention the twelve states of Daliang, even if the surrounding Nanchong, Dongyi, and even Jilu Kingdom, you can not know that he Li Chengyun, who has not heard of Ji Nantang's prestige.

If the Giroud people knew that the Chang Sheng general of the Great Liang was seriously wounded, and only two or three thousand men were taken with him, and he fled not far from them, it was like fat meat about to reach his mouth, how could he not salivate?

In their opinion, Li Chengyun is like a toothless tiger without Ji Nantang's support, and it is impossible to succeed, but without Li Chengcheng, Ji Nantang can turn to support others, it is not difficult to judge who is lighter and who is heavier.

About Ji Nantang didn't expect that the Jilu people would be greedy like this, and the soldiers would be divided into two ways, wanting the benefits of either side, and not letting go of either side.

Everyone was in a very complicated mood, looking at the people inside and outside the dock crying for their fathers and mothers, and they had no intention of stopping it.

Yang Caixu's face was pale, and he looked left and right, and Li Chengyun was furious because they thought about the oil on the soles of their feet, and he didn't dare to say some words, but now Ji Nantang's life and death are uncertain, and he can't rely on the water defenders. If you don't leave, you won't be able to become a prisoner of the Girouds.

He said in a low voice: "Cousin, ask Ji Jiajun to prepare a few ships." Let's get out. If you don't leave, it's too late, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. The Giroud are a flock of landlubbers who would never dare to chase them into the sea. ”

Li Chengyun glanced at him indifferently and called Mi Jingyang and Li Cao over.

Yang Caixu breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could smile, he heard Li Chengyun command in a deep voice: "Close the city gate immediately." And the people were going into the city, and they were kind enough to explain to them, telling them that there was going to be a war soon. Let them go around the city to the south. Mobilize troops to guard the whole city, and if there are any more demons to confuse the public, they will be killed on the spot! ”

This is Mi Jingyang's job, he hurriedly answered "yes", and secretly wondered why Grandpa Guo didn't hurry up and get on the boat. There are also air traffic controls.

Li Chengyun said: "You go and talk to the people." General Ji was safe and sound, leading 3,000 people to resist most of the enemy's troops, killing less than a third of the people who left the water, and only tens of thousands of people, could we not hold the city from the water? ”

Mi Jingyang couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Guo, when are you leaving?" ”

Li Chengran over, stood with his hands in his hands, and raised his chin at the noisy crowd at the dock below: "When they are all gone." ”

Yang Caixu couldn't help but change color. There are too many people stranded from the water to dare not say it, and forty or fifty thousand can't stop it. If they were to be sent away, it would take at least three or four days, and this would be if the enemy did not kill them and there was no need to send sailors to defend the city.

This is undoubtedly to tell everyone that he is determined to stay away from the water and live and die with the people.

Li Chengyun sighed lightly: "Go and tell everyone that anyone who wants to go can go, but if you leave now, you won't have to come back in the future." ”

Yang Caixu heard that the wind was wrong, and quickly silenced.

Li Cao's heart hung Ji Nantang, but he couldn't help but be moved: "Grandpa Guo, you ......"

"Nantang, Miss Gu, and all of you, so willing to forget about death, the picture is that the world is peaceful, and the people live a stable life, thanks to everyone's affordability, with their lives, Li dares not to do his best!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengyun took a deep breath, collected his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to defend the city, and wait for the Jilu people in your guild for a while!" ”

Mi Jingyang trotted to dispatch troops.

Li Cao bid farewell to Li Chengyun, got off the viewing platform, and transferred hundreds of soldiers to the dock to maintain order.

The rumors quickly stopped, and the people in the city finally stopped panicking.

Li Cao was worried about Ji Nantang's safety, stood on the dock, and turned around to discuss with Du Yuanpu.

Du Yuanpu was in a wheelchair, pushed by his own soldiers, and he was also busy.

In the past two days, he has made proper arrangements to send thousands of soldiers to a safe place. These include Li Chengyun's wife and children, Ji Nantang's wife, Mi Jingyang's family, etc., the relationship is inextricably linked, and there is no mistake in the slightest, which is really a headache.

In addition to this, there are musicians.

There are twenty or thirty musicians in Lishui, and except for a limited number of reputations, other levels are very ordinary.

Wen Sheng has fallen off the cliff in Shunjin Mountain for many days, and no one has been found yet, although everyone does not say it, they are already a little desperate in their hearts, feeling that she must be Xiang Xiaoyu died in a place where no one has set foot in it, and it has become her last wish to run a school in Kaizhou.

Although this wish has been frustrated now, it must be fulfilled for her in the future.

Therefore, as soon as it was said that the enemy's army was coming, Li Chengyun was the first to call for evacuation, and it was these musicians who were the first to be evacuated.

But things in the world are so strange, some people want to give birth to eight legs to squeeze into the boat, so that they can get out of the water quickly, and some people refuse to leave the water as much as you want.

When Li Cao came to find Du Yuanpu, he encountered such a situation.

Although Du Yuanpu's official position is not high, the Ji family army regards him as a military advisor, and for such a big matter as the assassination of the general, Du Yuanpu will continue to believe in the time when Li Chengyun has been reported.

He was much calmer than everyone on the viewing platform, and immediately summoned hundreds of soldiers stationed in the general's mansion to listen to his orders.

These personal soldiers have all followed him to study the Qimen Dunjia formation recently, and now they can only hope that Baiyunwu will defend Baoshan without knowing it, and let him use the inheritance of Emperor You to block the descendants of Emperor You.

Li Cao came worriedly, the two had just exchanged views, and before they could come up with any good way to resolve the current crisis, they heard a sound of footsteps from far and near.

The two personal soldiers came in and said to Du Yuanpu: "Lord Du, Yang Gongzi refuses to leave, he has to see you." ”

Du Yuanpu frowned, the Yang Gongzi in the mouth of the pro-soldier was none other than Wang Guangji's nephew Yang Lanyi.

This is not the first time, two days ago he ordered someone to escort the musicians on the boat, but the musicians next to him were gone, only this kid fell in the end, if it weren't for Du Yuanpu knowing that Wen Sheng and Yang Lanyi had a good relationship, he would almost suspect that he was not well-intentioned.

At the moment, things are complicated, how can he have the energy to deal with a pampered young master.

Du Yuanpu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Call him in." ”

When Yang Lanyi staggered in, Li Cao couldn't help but be taken aback.

Du Yuanpu has only recently returned to Lishui, but Li Cao is not, he has dealt with this little young master of the Yang family a lot before.

I saw that the cold Tianyang Lanyi was wearing a white robe, without a belt, his body was rubbed with mud and dirt, his hair was scattered, he held a bone flute tightly in his hand, he walked and shook, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had drunk wine.

He looked at Li Cao's eyes lit up, took two steps over, and said hurriedly: "Li Lushi, tell them quickly, I won't leave, I want to stay." ”

For the sake of Gu Wensheng's face, Li Cao persuaded with good words: "Young Master Yang, you better go quickly, you may not know yet, you don't have to wait for tomorrow dawn, there will be a large army of enemy troops to kill, at least fifty or sixty thousand people, Grandpa Guo asked you to go first is a good intention, don't the other musicians leave?" ”

Yang Lanyi stubbornly shook her head: "They are them, and I am me." When Miss Gu was leaving, please ask me to help her take care of her home. ”

"Housekeeping? Qi Lao took care of her family and left early, don't you know? Li Cao blurted out, and only after saying that he realized that the "home" that Gu Wensheng said mostly refers to leaving the water.

Du Yuanpu sighed, this kid couldn't see the color, he was entangled, he had to follow Miss Gu to Shunjin Mountain that day, and he wanted to come to Wen Sheng to say that casually in order to appease him.

In the chaos of the army, according to Yang Lanyi's level, he may lose his life if he is not careful, who dares to point to him to see his home.

Yang Lanyi shook his head, his expression was calm, it had been a few days since the bad news of Wen Sheng's fall from the cliff came, and he had not recovered from this heartache.

"I can't go, if Miss Gu comes back and sees that I didn't listen to her and the water is gone, she will blame my ......" Yang Lanyi said this, and her voice couldn't help choking.

Li Cao's eyes were hot, and he said in his heart: "I didn't expect this kid to be like this, so he can't let him lose his life in vain." ”

He opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that Miss Gu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back, so he listened to Yang Lanyi twitch and say, "If she doesn't come back, her soul will come back......"

Du Yuanpu was sad, but he couldn't stand him when a big man said he would cry, and said: "Okay, don't cry, if you don't leave, you won't leave, you will follow me when the time comes." (To be continued.) )
