Chapter 132: Contingency

Tanzhou City was built at the confluence of Xiangshui and Liuyang River, and Yuezhou was only separated by a Xiangyin County, and the battle that occurred at the mouth of the Jingjiang River was sent to the division located in the city the next day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a restaurant in the city, Li Shiyi and his men occupied the entire second floor, and the door of the division could be clearly seen from the window, but it was not his subordinates who stood with him at this time, but Shi Zhong, who had arrived here earlier.

Shi Zhong is farther away than them, but he arrived earlier, so he will know more about what is happening in the city, this city that seems to be quite calm on the surface, in fact, there is already an undercurrent, and the people get the news not much later than the government, because they may have relatives in Yuezhou to beg for a living.

"As soon as the news of the Tartars going south, some gentry and wealthy merchants began to flee, and even more, I heard that the new commander was panicked every day, and prayed to God and Buddha in his own back office, but he neither made an example to calm the people, nor did he prepare for war, I think it will fall quickly."

Li Shi nodded a little and patted him on the shoulder: "That's why the owner asked me to wait to come here first, how many people did you bring?" ”

At the time of Jiankang, Li Shiyi was still a team leader, and he was already the head of the capital, and when the Jiankang war was over, Li Shiyi was promoted to the head of the capital, and he was still a head of the capital, and finally followed Jiang Cai to Qiongzhou, and became the second person under the Fufu Envoy, the capital of Qiongzhou, but the people were already the most trusted spy heads under Liu Yu, and they didn't even need the level.

"A hundred people, all outside the city, and only seven or eight people came in with so-and-so, what are you going to do?" Shi Zhong didn't hide it from him, the two of them were peers, and they could guess a thing or two about each other's thoughts, but after all, they were orthodox soldiers, and they couldn't think of it for a while.

"There are more than 200 subordinates, add up, there is still insufficient control of the whole city, it should be enough to take the system, with the seal letter can mobilize soldiers and horses, this is the first pass of Jinghu South Road, and it is also the most important place, once it surrenders without a fight, the Jinghu gateway will be opened, and it will definitely endanger the owner's plan in Guangxi, Lao Shi, in a word, do you want to do it?"

Rao is Shi Zhong has already been mentally prepared, and he is still shocked by his boldness, Huang Wanshi is an old qualified bureaucrat on Jinghu South Road, and his grade is not below Liu Yu.

"It may not be difficult to attack the system, but have you thought about it, Tanzhou Dutong Miyou is this person's henchman, there are 5,000 men under his command, all of them are soldiers from Jiangxi, he will never sit back and watch the system fall without saving, just with our three hundred people, how long can we defend?"

"You have a point, but Jiang Zhaofu's cavalry is already on the way, according to the distance, it will arrive tomorrow evening or early the morning after tomorrow, why don't we discuss a way to come out first, and when they arrive, we will do it?"

For his insistence, Shi Zhong was a little speechless, since Jiang Cai has arrived, it means that Liu Yu is also fast, since there are official means, why do you have to take risks? If the defenders ignore it, or even use it as an excuse to defect out of the city, wouldn't it be counterproductive? He wanted to convince the other party, but apparently the other party would not buy his account, and just when the two were at a stalemate, a message from Yuezhou broke their illusions.

The events recorded in the news occurred during the day, the battle of Jingjiangkou, the total number of Song troops was 1,600 warships and 20,000 sailors, more than 800 were burned and sunk, and only 300 escaped in the end, all of which were scattered along the shores of Dongting Lake.

The news that came today was that the Tartar army was under the city of Yuezhou, and they tied the captured Gao Shijie and the soldiers of the Song army in front of the battle, and beheaded them all in front of the defenders of Yuezhou City.

Receiving this news, the two spies saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes, things are developing in the worst direction, Yuezhou City is going down without a fight, and the Tartars can either go down the lake and sweep Jingnan, or they can go up the river to force Jiangling Mansion, Tanzhou is already one step away from the war.

Shi Zhong was a little shaken, with the current situation, he couldn't pin his hopes on the body of Tartar, he had to be prepared to come to Tanzhou tomorrow, and now such a city defense, I am afraid that they will also follow in the footsteps of Yuezhou, in that case, what's the point of coming here?

Before he could make up his mind, suddenly the microphone that Li Shiyi tied to his waist moved, and the green light on it flashed one after another, which was the signal that someone asked to call.

"Yuelu Academy!"

Li Shiyi was at a loss when he heard the location Liu Yu said, he knew that place, but it was on Yuelu Mountain outside Tanzhou City, and it was not so easy to get out of the city at this time.

Shi Zhong was also surprised, and after thinking about it, he took the microphone in Li Shiyi's hand: "Fu Shuai, you don't move there, your subordinates will immediately order someone to rush over, and when they arrive, I will listen to your instructions." ”

"Where's Jiang Cai?" Liu Yu didn't care much about his own safety, he was in a place where literati gathered, although the deacons in the academy were a little strange about his sudden appearance, but as a literati, an excuse to accidentally get lost in the mountains, he could still sleep in a different place.

"I just arrived in Xiangtan County today, and if I leave early tomorrow morning, I can arrive in Tanzhou at noon at the latest."

"It's too late, tell him at once, things have changed, let him set off overnight, and be sure to arrive at the city in the early hours of tomorrow morning." Unexpectedly, Liu Yu heard the news of the fall of Yuezhou, and behaved more nervously than the two of them, Shi Zhong returned the microphone to Li Shiyi after the response, and ran to carry out Liu Yu's instructions by himself.

"You have to keep an eye on the system, if the official is not wrong, there will be movement tonight."

Putting away the leaflet, Li Shiyi didn't understand what Liu Yu was talking about, the Tartars had not yet entered the territory of Tanzhou, and it was impossible to send the letter of persuasion into the city anyway, but since it was from the mouth of the owner, he naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he didn't close his eyes all night, including Shi Zhong and the two people around him, staring at the direction of the division until the sky was about to dawn.

In their sight, the gate of the division was opened, not the ordinary kind, but all the doors were opened, one after another ox carts were led out, there were both sedan chairs with people sitting on them, and there were also luggage full of cages, and the guards around were the soldiers of the forbidden army with bright armor, and it was not until a civilian official in purple clothes appeared outside the gate on a horse that Li Shiyi and the others understood what the owner said last night.

"They're going to run!" Both reacted at the same time.
