"Wait! Marquis Xiao, what did you just say? Out of the city, facing the enemy? ”

Yang Wenwen's panda eyes widened for a moment, and he looked at Xiao Han directly, without even blinking!

He suspected that his ears had just gone wrong! So much so that he even listened to the wrong words!

Now there are thieves rampant outside, and they will arrive in Yangzhou City in a few days! It's enough to stay here and defend the city at this time, and he still wants to go out? Is it true that the 15,000 thieves are all Mianyang?

Wrong! Even if there were fifteen thousand sheep outside, it would be enough to gnaw this Hou Ye into scum!

The two of them looked at Xiao Han in horror, just like looking at a mad patient who had lost his mind!

However, Xiao Han just rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense! At the beginning, Lao Tzu was alone, and Wang Shichong's 100,000 troops did not dare to go out of the city! Now with those thieves called Huazi outside, do you still want to block Lao Tzu? Did they float, or did they think that Lao Tzu couldn't lift the knife? ”

"When did you lift a knife? Wait, you're not going to run, are you? ”

Seeing Xiao Han's impatient appearance, Yang Wenwen and Cui Jingzhi just scolded each other, but unexpectedly, a thought suddenly rose to the hearts of the two, and the more they pondered, the more frightened they became!

"Master Hou, although the thieves outside are not a regular army, their combat power should not be underestimated! Otherwise, Lord Assassin Shi will not end up in the end of the total annihilation! Now the thieves are less than a hundred miles outside the city, and it is not obvious that you are leaving the city at this time! ”

didn't dare to express his meaning clearly, Cui Jingzhi had to euphemistically inform Xiao Han of the danger of leaving the city at this time.

Seeing this, Yang Wenwen on the side also understood what his old friend meant, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master Hou!" Although you are a fierce general, but this time you came to Yangzhou, except for the guards of the family, you did not bring a single soldier, how can you fight against thousands of thieves outside? According to Weichen, you might as well stay in the city with peace of mind, and you will be safe and sound! ”

"Nonsense! Of course, Lao Tzu knew that he would be safe and sound, but wouldn't Lao Tzu's newly established workshop behind the city be completely finished? ”

Looking at the two of you who didn't want him to go out of the city, Xiao Han's face was a little ugly.

After thinking for a moment in his heart, he sighed and said: "Hey, the kindness of the two, I also know, don't say those big words, let me ask you: the thieves are menacing, and the people in the city have no experience in defending the city, how sure are you that you really want to fight when the time comes?" ”

"How sure?" When the two heard this, they first glanced at each other, and then Cui Jingzhi replied with some hesitation:

"There are clouds in the art of war: ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, the enemy can divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended. We now have 100,000 people in the city, and we can always keep it, right? ”

Xiao Han sneered: "100,000 people? Do you know that ordinary people who have never fought a war and have been trained can't even stand up on the battlefield? What about such a person, and how can a million of them come? ”

"That's... So what to do? The two of them were really scared this time, and even their voices changed their tunes.

They have also read some biographies and know that what Xiao Han said is not alarmist!

The cruelty of the battlefield, not to mention ordinary people, even trained soldiers, it is difficult to accept the first contact!

Expecting those civilians to defend Yangzhou's unreliable city defense is indeed wishful thinking on the part of the two.

Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both of them were frightened by himself, but his tone was still solemn: "That's why I said that I wanted to take people out of the city, one to find out the news, and the other to block and lure away the thieves!" Share the pressure in the city and wait for the arrival of Korean and Chinese reinforcements!

In the meantime, close your gates! Regardless of whether they are homeless or villagers, they are not allowed to enter the city, so as not to let scattered thieves take the opportunity to sneak in and disturb the city defense.

Also, no matter what happens outside or what strange celestial phenomena appear, don't be afraid, and don't go to check it out! Defend the city with peace of mind for a few days, just a few thieves, it's really nothing! ”

"It's not to meet the enemy, it's to lead the enemy?" Hearing Xiao Han say this, the two of them finally became more stable.

But soon they thought of a question: "But, Master Hou, do you have soldiers there?" There are so many people in the city, and most of them are the same as you said, they have never been to the battlefield......"

Xiao Han waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have trained a group of people outside the city, and this time I will take them to meet the enemy!" There is no need to transfer any personnel in the city, you can defend the city with peace of mind! ”

"Do you want your subordinates to prepare horses?" Yang Wenwen asked cautiously again.

"No!" Xiao Han waved his hand very simply and refused.

Although the cavalry is very good, the cavalry is not trained in a day.

Let those rangers ride their horses to war, and God knows where those untrained horses will be carried when the time comes?

"Alright, that's it! This is a battle, the families in the city are small, and they are all entrusted to you! ”

After saying this, the guard was silent again, Xiao Han looked at the two people who were in doubt, took the lead in breaking the dullness, and bowed solemnly to them.

"I will not disgrace my life!" When Cui Yang and the others heard this, they were shocked, and subconsciously gave Xiao Han a fist-hugging military salute!

And the filthy hearts born to the two of them at the beginning, with Xiao Han's voice to entrust the family, it melted like ice and snow in an instant, only to turn into a deep shame that flowed to his heart.

What a wonderful man! For the safety of Yangzhou City, he did not hesitate to risk his life! I hate myself for misunderstanding him!

The eyes of the two were a little red, and their lips trembled and they wanted to say something, but Xiao Han just waved his hand at the two: "Okay, don't mother-in-law, go and prepare!" ”

With that, Xiao Han glanced back at the map on the wall and strode out of the guard.

Behind "Master Hou......", Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen's somewhat sad voices came.

Xiao Han, who had already walked into the sun, paused, but did not look back, only a clear voice came from the cold wind.

"Don't cry like mourning for me, you know how to fight? Put the guard under the city wall, for fear that the catapult won't hit it? Wait, Lao Tzu will return safely. ”

"Whoa!"

————

The general is on the march!

This is really a new thing in Yangzhou City, which has been safe for several years.

It's a pity that compared to other generals who go on expeditions and often have a grand occasion of dozens of miles of troops, Xiao Han is really too shabby.

The war drums rumbled at the head of the city, Xiaodong walked in front with the big flag, and behind him was Xiao Han, who was dressed in armor, and they were the first to go.

The black-faced man and those palace guards did not follow, they were forcibly left in the city by Xiao Han and were responsible for taking care of Xue Pan's mother and son.

All up, only a dozen or so people left the city.

If it weren't for the fact that there were more than 100 people standing outside, it is estimated that anyone would think that this was going to surrender, not to fight.

The team is shabby to the extreme, and even a little funny! Even Xiao Han felt quite embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to quietly go out of the city, but Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen both did not agree.

According to the words of the two people, Xiao Han is on the expedition for Yangzhou City, no matter what, he must let all the people in the city know:

Today! There is a hero, for the safety of the people in the city, resolutely uses his meager strength to face the enemy who is a hundred times more than himself!
