Xu Bu came at the right time, Qiang Qu was having a headache for the tribal soldiers just now, and now with the help of Xu Bu's 5,000 soldiers outside, the possibility of Qiang Qu breaking through is much greater.

Qiang Qu's face was now full of excited smiles, because Qiang Qu knew that the day of his division to break through was not far away, "Oh, by the way, what is the situation in Youzhou now?" Qiangqu, who was closed to news, asked this person about the situation in Youzhou.

With the support of Zhu Junwan's official army, the situation in Youzhou is still relatively stable, and although the overseas Yi people covet the land of Youzhou, they have not made a move.

This point Qiangqu already knew when Kebineng and the two of them got the news and did not immediately send troops, these people all had the same idea, that is, they wanted to wait until their tribe and the official army fought to the death, and they were good fishermen.

Now that the official army has formed a position, even if they want to attack, they are afraid that they will pay a very heavy price. Qiang Qu snorted coldly in his heart, and secretly said that if they hadn't hesitated at the beginning, Youzhou would have been under his feet at this time.

But now the Qiangqu soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, even if they are out of trouble, Qiangqu has no ability to attack the land of Youzhou, and the Xiongnu tribes who have been greatly injured will not be able to recover their vitality in five or six years.

Qiang Qu was very happy in his heart, and explained the agreed date in detail with the city gate to be attacked, and let the wounded soldiers recuperate in the government office, which was a major matter related to the life and death of his tribe, and Qiang Qu handed it over to his henchmen and generals to go out of the city to handle.

The general and Xu Bu knew each other, so naturally they didn't need to bring any certificates, but they traveled lightly, and Qiangqu had agreed with Xu Bu to attack the east gate tomorrow night. Compared with the other three gates, Murong Fu's combat strength and troops guarding the east gate were weaker, and it turned out that when Qiangqu led his troops to attack the east gate, Murong Fu always had to rely on the troops of the other three gates to barely hold it. Now that his two departments should be united, he wants to see what Murong Fu relies on to guard the city gate this time.

His own department was saved, and the general was also very happy, and asked Qiangqu excitedly, "Since the young leader will attack the county seat tomorrow night, do you still need to do the matter of taking thatch and reed mats?" ”

Qiang Qu pondered for a moment and said, "Of course you have to do it, let the war horses be full, and tomorrow night I will fight with my soldiers." ”

The subordinate general bowed down and walked down, and the Qiang Qu in the hall laughed twice, and personally sent the confidant general to the city wall, and kept telling the general to be careful on the way. The signal to communicate with the two sides of the attack was repeated several times to the general, and he did not keep his mouth shut until he reached the city wall.

There was a spy who entered Guangning County again, and the ten-person chief did not hide it, but told Zhao Yi about it, and pleaded guilty to Zhao Yi, saying that the matter was his own negligence, and asked Zhao Yi to blame.

Zhao Yi, who heard this, not only did not blame the ten captains, but on the contrary, he rewarded him heavily, promoted him to the captain of the hundreds, and handed over three teams of soldiers in the patrol soldiers to this person to manage.

According to military law, the patrol soldiers did not capture the spies when they saw them, and they let the spies enter the city and behead the capital.

Zhao Yi's approach was not only strange to the hundred chiefs, but even Zhu Jun and Gao Shun in the tent were very strange.

As the pastor of Jizhou, Zhu Jun did not shy away from the hundred chiefs, and directly said his opinion: "It seems that it is a little inappropriate for Bolai to deal with it like this, even if this soldier is derelict in his duty, even if he is not beheaded, he should be served with a military staff, why does Bolai not fall but rise?" If this trend is opened, this will happen from time to time. ”

The soldier was just a hundred people, and in the eyes of Zhu Jun, who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, he was just a small official, so Zhu Jun didn't care about this person's feelings at all.

Gao Shun very much agreed with Zhu Jun's point of view in his heart, things in the army cannot be sloppy, if this precedent is opened, wouldn't the patrol soldiers in the army be in chaos. Zhao Yi is very strict in governing the army, why did he make such a big mistake this time.

Zhao Yi did not answer Zhu Jun, but came to the hundred leaders with a smile and asked, "Since you are the leader of the patrol soldiers, you naturally know the crime of dereliction of duty." What this official wants to ask you is, since you know that you may be beheaded by me, why don't you hide this news and choose to report it to this official instead? ”

The soldier said with a fearless face, "This matter is a mistake in the lowly office, and if it is concealed, even if the lowly duty will not be punished, but this matter will be like a big stone pressing on my chest, and I will be restless all day long." Besides, in the past, I heard an adult say in Fanyang County, and details determine success or failure. This spy is insignificant compared to the tens of thousands of soldiers of our official army, but we don't know what news this spy carries, if it is because of this news that our department has been working for half a month. The lowly position is the eternal sinner of our department, and I am sorry for those brothers who died in battle. ”

After listening to the soldier's words, Zhao Yi showed appreciation on his face, he didn't expect this little hundred people to have such insight, he said yes, most of the failures were caused by that little negligence, Zhao Yi praised "Well said, what's your name?" ”

When the hundred leaders heard Zhao Yi's words of appreciation, they knew that their lives had been saved, and they bowed down and said, "Humble and bright." ”

Zhao Yi wrote down the name and waved his hand to let Lian Ming go down to do things.

Hearing Lian Ming's explanation, Zhu Jun and Gao Shun both showed expressions of appreciation on their faces, and Zhu Jun admired Zhao Yi very much, "Bolai really has some means to govern the army, and I learned it from you again, hehe." This Lian Ming is loyal, and he has such a vision that can be reused. ”

Nowadays, the selection of talents is a system of filial piety and honesty, and there were indeed some capable ministers at the beginning, but since the development of this system, this system has been decayed, and the people recommended are also official eunuchs. It is not a problem for Lian Ming to be a county order, but he was buried, which made Zhao Yi sigh. Lian Ming has the opportunity to show his ambitions because he met himself, so what about the others?

Zhao Yi already has the idea of revising the official system in his heart, but now is not the time. Because Lian Ming is right, there is nothing for a spy to enter Guangning County, the key is what news the spy has on him.

Did Qiangqu contact the outside Yi tribe to attack Youzhou? Or do you contact the western Budu Root Department and attack and kill yourself with him inside and outside?

Zhao Yi was not sure about this, he groped his chin and walked back and forth in the military tent, and finally ordered Gao Shun to scatter all the Tanma in his department, and focused on pointing to the southwest direction, "Let Tanma pay close attention to this direction, we have been focusing on the north, but ignoring this direction." Seeing Gao Shun bowing down to do business, Zhao Yi called Lou Man into the account again, asked Lou Man to change to three war horses, and went to the Batu tribe in Shanggu County overnight to borrow troops.

Although Batu brought 10,000 soldiers to reinforce, he still left 6,000 soldiers to guard the tribe, if these 6,000 soldiers could be transferred to Guangning County, even if there was any change in Qiangqu, Zhao Yi would have the strength to respond.

Not only that, Zhao Yi also sent heralds carrying state capital tokens overnight to various counties near Guangning County to dispatch soldiers and let them rush to Guangning County.

Looking at the herald who disappeared into the night, Zhao Yi's wildly beating heart stabilized a little. Gao Shun and Zhu Jun didn't say that Zhao Yi was too careful, because the battle of Guangning really couldn't tolerate any sloppiness. Zhao Yi also wanted to use this battle to establish his prestige, if it was a trivial matter that led to failure, then not only Zhao Yi's plan was disrupted, but the officers and troops of the department were also very likely to be hit hard, and at that time, he rushed out of the Qiang Canal in Guangning County, and perhaps he would not return to the Xiongnu tribe to recuperate.

If you see the defeat of the official army in Youzhou, Qiangqu's ambition that was worn out by Zhao Yi will be rekindled again. At that time, the people of Youzhou will face a major disaster.

Regarding the matter of Guangning County, Zhao Yi had already sent a fast horse to inform the imperial court, asking the imperial court to order the surrounding state capitals and counties to support his actions. This event was also a great opportunity for the Han Dynasty to establish its prestige. Since the dictatorship of the eunuchs, the Eastern Han Dynasty court has been unbearable, and the officials and troops of the department have lost more than they won against the Yi people. If all the 50,000 soldiers of the Qiangqu Department can be killed, so that the Yi people outside the country can see the power of the imperial court, and the Yi people around the Eastern Han Dynasty will have to weigh it if they want to move the Han Dynasty in the future.

Zhao Yi knew that this request would be approved by the imperial court, but it was a pity that Luoyang was too far away from Youzhou, and the messenger might have just arrived in Luoyang now, waiting for the ministers of the imperial court to discuss it, and then turning this matter into an order and passing it out. It will take a lot of time for the officers and soldiers of the state capitals and county towns to rush over again. Perhaps before the imperial court reinforcements came, the affairs of Guangning County had already been done by Zhao Yi.

The battle situation in Guangning County is not only about the prestige of the officials and troops in Youzhou, but more importantly, about the people of Youzhou.

He had already adjusted the patrol time and the number of soldiers, and even let the scouts from Guangning County escape in, Zhao Yi looked at the flickering torches on the city wall, with a gloomy look on his face, he couldn't let the spies of Qiangqu enter and exit the city gate so easily. He rolled his eyes and sent more patrol men, tripling the number of patrol men.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers patrolling the city were so dense, Qiangqu sighed deeply, and secretly said in his heart that he had sent out hundreds of scouts but none of them returned, and it was not that his soldiers were incompetent.

The general who delivered the letter waited at the city wall for more than an hour, and finally saw that the officers and soldiers of the patrol had a gap, said goodbye to the Qiangqu, and took the rope that had been prepared long ago, jumped down, and fell to the ground smoothly.

Qiang Qu saw that the general landed safely, and his beating heart finally stabilized, as long as the general could avoid the patrol soldiers of Zhao Yi's department, this matter would be more than half successful for Qiang Qu.

He had already thought about what words to use tomorrow to stimulate the soldiers' desire to survive, "Invite a few generals to the palace to discuss matters." Qiang Qu gave an order to the soldiers around him with a smile on his face.

Just as Qiang Qu walked down the city gate with a smile, he suddenly heard an official and soldier shouting under the city, "Who is it?" ”
