When night fell, in the lobby of the Shangtai Mansion.

"General, the number of soldiers recruited in the city today has reached more than 11,000 people, and it is completely possible to form ten township soldiers." The officer excitedly reported to Sun Guoqing; "With more than 10,000 people, even if the Xirong Chengzhou army arrives, it will not be a problem to annihilate them."

"Although it is gratifying to recruit more than 10,000 people, they have not undergone any military training, and they are not qualified soldiers at all. Sun Guoqing said with a still heavy face; "Tomorrow morning, all these village soldiers will assemble at the colonel's field, and when the time comes, let them elect their own officers below the brigade commander (excluding the brigade commander), and the officers above the brigade commander will be selected from among you for temporary appointment;

At that time, five of the ten prefectures will remain in Shangtai City, and the remaining five prefectures will be dispatched to villages and towns all over Shangqi Prefecture to assist the Han people to evacuate to the east, and at the same time, our people will all be withdrawn. ”

"The general is wise, but the general, what if these people don't want to go with us?"

"If you don't want to go with us, forget it." Sun Guoqing said directly: "Ben will roughly calculate, the people of the Han family in the entire Shangqi Valley are estimated to be 23,000 households, according to the calculation of four people per household, there are nearly 100,000 people, so many people have arrived in Yonglong, Ben Jiang is worried that he will not be able to resettle!" I don't want to go to the good side. ”

Although Sun Guoqing said so, he really hoped that these people could move to Yonglong Erzhou, because Sun Guoqing understood that the size of the population represents the number of labor force in Yonglong Erzhou, and it will also affect the number of Yongjun, in a word, 'population and strength'.

"you, I'm back." As soon as Ji Ling entered the house, he shouted in a loud voice.

The ragged woman came out of the house, looking at Ji Ling, who was wearing iron armor and was extraordinarily heroic, and almost didn't recognize it; "Daddy, is that you?"

"What's the matter, I don't know your man." Ji Linghan said with a smile.

"Where did you come from?" The woman wept with joy.

"Let's go, I'll tell you when I come into the house."

Ji Ling grabbed the woman's arm and walked towards the house, after entering the house, Ji Ling looked around the courtyard, closed the door of the house, took out a silver ingot of white flowers from his arms, and put it on the square table.

"What do you think this is?"

"This—this is ...... Silver. The woman was astonished and nervously said, "Daddy, where did you get this money?" ”

"Don't worry, this silver is definitely the right way." Ji Ling smiled at the woman and said, "Didn't I go to the South City Gate Tower today!" With a Yongjun 'general', this is the general to send it, not only us, but all the people who go have it, each person has ten taels, and it is enough to send more than 100,000 taels! The white money is taken from box after box, as if it were not money. ”

"Why did the 'general' give us so much silver for no reason?" The woman asked, "Also, why are you wearing this armor?" You make it clear to me. ”

"This silver is for our relief money, and this armor and weapons are for me to protect my family." Ji Ling smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "With this money, you can go and pull a few feet of cloth, and change the way you and Bao'er make a new outfit by yourself." ”

"Great, great, Bao'er is going to have new clothes." Boa shouted excitedly.

"Daddy, tell me the truth, didn't you get this money in exchange for your life." The woman's eyes were red and she asked, "You are sincere, you never lie, and when you lie, you will rub your hands vigorously." ”

"Oops! Look at what you're crying about! Ji Ling said as he wiped the woman's tears.

"Mother, don't cry." Bao'er's immature voice said, "Bao'er doesn't want new clothes." ”

"Good boy." The woman put her arms around Bao'er and said; "Mother doesn't cry."

"I'll be honest with you." Ji Ling couldn't hide it, so he could only tell him bluntly: "I joined the army, and I participated in the Yongjun soldiers, and this money is the settlement fee given by others." ”

"Is that going to war?" The woman said nervously.

"I don't know this yet, I guess eight or nine is not far from ten!"

"Daddy, let's return this money to others, shouldn't we take care of this soldier?"

"What are you talking about? Now if you want to say that you don't want to be this soldier, then you will become a deserter, and you will be dealt with by military law. ”

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault; What kind of soldier is it! The woman slapped Ji Ling a few times, buried her head and cried: "It's not good for us to live honestly!" If you go to the battlefield and have three long and two short, how can we live! ”

"it, don't cry, listen to me." Ji Ling said while comforting the woman; "I want to join the army after careful consideration, you think about what kind of life we lived before, every day we ate the last meal without the next meal;

Now, although it is said that the Yongjun army has taken Shangqi City, and Shangqi has returned to Daqi, according to the 'general', in order to be able to take Shangqi City and rescue the Han people in the city, they are advancing lightly, only a few thousand people came, and the main force of the brigade is still behind;

If this is the time, the Xirong army comes, they may not be able to hold Shangqi City, and at that time, the Xirong army will attack the city and suffer, won't it be us people in the city who will suffer! Therefore, I joined the army to protect your mother and son;

In addition, I also inquired, this Yongjun is different from other armies, not only is the treatment good, but also will not easily let recruits go to the battlefield, and my kung fu, you don't know; Besides, even if it's my misfortune to fight......"

Before Ji Ling's words could be spoken, the woman gagged her mouth with her hand and said, "I don't allow you to say that word, I want you to live safely and come back safely." ”

When Guo Qi and Sun Guoqing were preparing for war in Chengji City and Shangqi City respectively, they received military orders from General Murong Chui in Weizhou, Minzhou, and Chengzhou respectively, and dispatched all the military horses of the three states to Chengji and Shangqi to assemble and standby.

After receiving the military order, the three states did not dare to have the slightest neglect, and the Weizhou Taishou personally led 10,000 Weizhou troops, out of Xiangwu and Longxi, and went to Chengji through Fuqiang; Minzhou Taishou led 5,000 Minzhou troops, out of Yile through Fuqiang straight to Chengji, Weizhou, Minzhou two state soldiers in Fuqiang to complete the division, together to Chengji.

Chengzhou Taishou, personally led 8,000 Chengzhou soldiers out of Shanglu, along the Western Han River to the northeast, through the long road, Yanjing City to the north, across the water to run to Shangqi.

At this time, the three states had not yet received the news of the loss of Chengji and Shangqi, and the three of them could be said to be completely ignorant of the situation of their respective destinations, and when they entered the eighty-mile range of Chengji and Shangtai, the traces of the two Xirong armies were completely exposed in front of the Yongjun.

According to the information fed back by the spies, Guo Qi and Sun Guoqing respectively dispatched troops to prepare to annihilate the enemy forces that had led out the three states in one fell swoop.
