In the city of Xingquan Mansion, the prefect's yamen is brightly lit, and a group of civil and military officials sit in the flower hall.

They have nothing to do, they want to go to the blue building to have a glass of wine, listen to a little song, and if they drink too much, they will sleep in the blue building for one night.

Sometimes the idle egg pain will also take one or two winding alley girls to climb the mountain, swim in the lake, autumn, winter or spring and summer are not in season, and the wildflowers are so fragrant all year round.

During the game, I was tired of pillowing my jade arms, and my lips were dry and kissed my lips.

After resting and putting on pants, they will also write a poem similar to 'the bright moonlight on the bed, two pairs of shoes on the ground' to express their longing for their wives at home, and express the hardships and loneliness of some eunuch life.

There are also some people who boast of being romantic, thinking that what jade arms and red lips are too low, they are not interested at all, they are more yearning for singing chrysanthemums while drinking wine!

This is the case, and most of the other eras, but the means of travel have changed from sedan chairs to Audis, carriages to airplanes, and boats to yachts, but the people are still those people.

After all, there are some professions that have not changed much from ancient times to the present, such as prostitutes and ...... Well, a lot!

Regardless of ancient or modern, it is quite difficult to gather a group of officials.

However, tonight, the civil and military officials in Xingquan Mansion gathered in the prefect's yamen, and they all had sad faces, as if they were all dead.

The leader is an elderly official wearing a five-grade civil official uniform, his head is full of white hair, and his face is also full of wrinkles.

He also holds a small white handkerchief in his hand, covering his mouth from time to time when he coughs.

After coughing, coughing and coughing fiercely, the five products Tongzhi tried the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a tired tone: "You are all the pillars of my Xingquan, and now Xingquan is in danger, and Lord Fuzun is not here, and there is no one who grasps the idea, now is the time when you need your advice and contribute to the safety of my Xingquan!" ”

"After repelling the puppet Tang thief army, this official will definitely take credit for you!"

When Chang Zhuo said this, some of the people below also spoke.

Immediately, a Jiupin civil official who didn't know what was in that corner stood up: "Lord Chang, although Lord Fuzun is not in the city now, we still have you, with you, we will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!" ”

"Master Chang, you are highly respected, and you have been in Xingquan Mansion for many years, among the more than 300,000 people in this mansion, the one who doesn't know that you are the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Xingquan Mansion, maybe you shout at the head of the city, and those pseudo-Tang thieves outside the city may be defeated!" This is definitely a sycophant, although he is a civil official, but the rank is the lowest and official, only nine grades, an official who is smaller than Sesame's son.

However, this person's flattery may have been too explicit, turning flattery into sarcasm, so that Chang Zhuo deliberately glanced at him, and then let out a cold snort:

"Now that Xingquan is in danger, don't talk nonsense like this anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, the Jiupin civil official who had just said the compliments turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only sit down again, but when he looked up at Chang Zhuo again, he naturally inevitably had some embarrassment and even a deep hidden resentment.

In the face of such a small role, Chang Zhuo was naturally too lazy to deal with it, and after a reprimand, he no longer paid attention to this person, but continued to speak: "Tonight, the official summoned you and others to come, not to listen to any compliments, to say that it is not too late to wait until the official's sixtieth birthday, now ......"

Speaking of this, he looked around at the more than ten people present, and then said emphatically: "Do you have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Chang Zhuo said this, and suddenly the scene became silent, a strategy to retreat from the enemy?

They have a Mao's strategy to retreat from the enemy, is the pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city so easy to retreat?

If it is easy to retreat, Song Zhiwen, the lord of the mansion, will not have suffered two consecutive defeats, and the tens of thousands of troops will be lost.

Although Song Zhiwen used the super magic power of the wonderful pen to hide the truth of the two Lanjiang battles when he reported to the superiors, as local officials, they naturally knew the truth of the matter to a greater or lesser extent.

But they all pretended not to know, and even helped Song Zhiwen hide their superiors together, the reason was simple, the matter was revealed, although Song Zhiwen did not end well, but it was impossible for them, the officials, who were Song Zhiwen's subordinates, to be any better.

There was a big thief in Xingquan Mansion, and he defeated the official army several times in a row, if this matter was not covered up and the truth of the matter was revealed, there were so many officials in Xingquan Mansion, and few of them could get a good result.

Moreover, what kind of person is Song Zhiwen, he is a middle-level official of the Ming Dynasty who has a good relationship, and he is a big man with a connection with the cabinet bosses, if these people don't deal with him and harm him, he can make the officials present lose their official hats with a casual move of his fingers.

These people don't dare to tell the truth of the matter, but that doesn't mean they don't know.

In the first battle of the Lanjiang River, the 3,000 army was wiped out, which surprised them at the beginning!

Now, the tens of thousands of troops led by Song Zhiwen are also finished, which makes them even more frightened, even if Song Zhiwen's tens of thousands of troops are a little unworthy of the name because they are mixed with many young and strong, but there are also 3,000 recruits and more than 3,000 guards, and the regular army is more than 6,000 people.

And how many pseudo-Tang thief troops are on the other side, they also know a little bit about it, and I heard that the pseudo-Tang thief army is only three or four thousand people.

This force is significantly less than the army led by Song Zhiwen.

But even so, Song Zhiwen was still defeated, and the army of 10,000 people did not even have any scum left, and they were all lost outside the Lanjiang River and Xingquanfu.

In the face of such a pseudo-Tang thief army, how can they defend the city of Xingquanfu?

People with a little military common sense and sanity know that on their own, this Xingquan Mansion cannot be defended.

The only thing that can be done is to hold on longer, maybe for a month or two and wait for the governor to lead the army.

Can't defeat the puppet Tang thief army, they should be able to rely on the strong city to defend for a month, there are still hundreds of regular troops and young people in this city, if you recruit the old and young from the people in the city, it is okay to get together two thousand young and strong.

As long as the governor leads the army, then the safety of this Xingquan Mansion City will naturally be preserved, and the lives of everyone present will also be saved.

But not everyone thinks so!

Some people are not willing to be ordinary by nature, they always want to do something big, they dream that one day they can be on top of the world, and they will continue to work hard for it, and seize every opportunity they can.

Well, this kind of person has either become a savior hero or a supervillain who harms the world.

The most typical example is Xiao Luo and Xiao Xi, two people sang a big drama on the stage of World War II, although one lost and one won, but in fact, there is not much difference between the two of them in terms of character and the essence of human nature.

And these people have a common characteristic, that is, they can't be measured by common sense, you think it's a bad thing, but he thinks it's righteous, these people's brain circuits are different from ordinary people, not to mention the big brains, and they are also very strange.

For example, Chang Zhuo, the Tongzhi of Xingquan Mansion, is now sitting on the Taishi chair in his study, drinking warm tea while thinking about how to defend the city in his mind.

As an official who has been an official all his life and is also an official from the imperial examination, he was going to be a official in another year, and when the time comes, he will end his lifelong eunuch career and return to his hometown with a lifetime of Qingming, which is not an insult to his early ten years of hard study and decades of running around as an official.

When the time comes, he will open a paddy field in the backyard, farm and raise chickens, and teach his children and grandchildren to read in his spare time, wouldn't it be leisurely, as for the thousands of acres of fertile land and many shops and other mundane things that he has earned for officials for decades, naturally there are other people to take care of them, and he himself is not that idle.

Although it is said that he is about to become an official, he hopes to take this opportunity to go further, and he may have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and be promoted to the fourth rank.

Therefore, Xingquan Mansion cannot be breached, and he must do everything possible to hold it until the governor leads an army to help.

It's just how to block the attack of the puppet Tang thief army?

There is no other way to do it than the traditional methods known to everyone such as recruiting young people in the city and preparing boulders and rolling logs.

However, I heard that the pseudo-Tang thieves have sharp weapons, not only a large number of individual handguns, but also huge cannons with huge momentum and tens of miles of shock, and even hundreds of bullets in unison.

Judging from some texts from the Lanjiang ferry, when the thieves' giant cannons fired, the momentum was like thunder, and the upstream and downstream of the Lanjiang River could be heard for dozens of miles, the bullets could reach ten miles away, and one cannon could erode the camp for several miles, which was unstoppable.

This cannon is quite good, the Ming army has been playing with firearms for more than 100 years, and naturally there have been some cannons, and in recent decades, they have been equipped with Franc machine guns in batches, and the large thousand-pound Franc machine guns can also be used several miles away.

But the flowering bombs of the pseudo-Tang thief army made him feel a little tricky, the salvo of a hundred bullets is nothing, it is nothing more than a unified bomb delivery of 100 people, the key is that their flowering bombs will also explode.

It is rumored that the army led by Lord Fuzun has suffered several defeats, all of which were defeated in the hands of this flowering bullet, so that the front-line generals sighed: If it is not my soldiers who are not brave, it is really a thief with sharp weapons!

In the face of such an army of thieves, how can we stop them?

But no matter what, Chang Zhuo is unwilling to let his reputation be ruined in Xingquan Mansion.

Not to mention that Chang Zhuo is a very determined person, he wants to resist the puppet Tang thief army and make great contributions.

However, not everyone thinks the same way as him, and some people even think very differently from him.

He wanted to block the puppet Tang thief army, but someone wanted to let the puppet Tang thief army enter the city!
