Chapter 196: The Great Wall is in Danger
Late September.
Yuan Xi promulgated a new military system in Yecheng Military and Political Yamen. The 180,000 Montenegrin troops who originally surrendered Zhang Yan were mixed with the tens of thousands of troops under Gao Ran and Yan Liang, as well as the Liyang naval army of Yu Ban and Lejin, collectively known as the Jizhou Army.
The establishment is 270,000. In addition to the soldiers and horses of Yan Liang, Yu Ban, and Le Jin, they were all led by Gao Lan, Wang Dang, Yu Poison, Zuo Zhangba, and other generals, and were stationed in the west of Yecheng.
The general who commands the army has no right to transfer troops.
All troops must obey the control of the military and government yamen.
Only the military and political yamen, or Yuan Xi's orders, can transfer troops to fight.
this day.
Word came from the border.
The Southern and Northern Xiongnu approached the Great Wall and engaged the garrisons of Tianyu and Tianchou. Since the troops stationed at the Great Wall were all newly recruited recruits, and many of them were not yet fourteen years old, their combat effectiveness was extremely weak. The Great Wall defense line is in danger of being lost.
Tian Yu and Tian Chou couldn't resist it, and asked for help from the Youzhou Thorn Mansion.
The governor of Youzhou was anxious, and he did not dare to transfer troops without authorization, so he asked for the opinion of the Jizhou government.
When Yuan Xi learned about it, he immediately recruited Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Guo Tu.
"After more than three years of war, the efforts of the two states are unprecedented. Without the addition of the Montenegrin Army, our military strength would be pitiful. At this time of recuperation, I really don't want to engage in large-scale battles. In the Assassin's Mansion, Yuan Xi asked Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Guo Tu: "Do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
Guo Tu said: "The Huns' iron cavalry is strong and good at field warfare. However, the attack is not necessarily strong. The Great Wall is strong, and the Xiongnu do not have large siege equipment, how can they break the city? Don't worry. ”
"The public doesn't know." Yuan Xi said: "The Xiongnu received Yuan Shang's secret help and had a large number of siege equipment. ”
"Huh?!"
Guo Tu didn't know about this situation, and couldn't help but exclaim: "So the Great Wall has been lost? ”
"yes." Frustratedly said: "It takes four days for Jiao to get from Jixian to Yecheng. Before, Tian Yu and Tian Chou had to send a letter from the Great Wall to Jixian County. After a delay, half a month passed. ”
"Even if we don't lose it now, when we send troops to the Great Wall, we won't be able to help in time." Tian Feng said.
"What can I do about this?" Guo Tu looked worried.
Yuan Xi thought for a while
He remembered the vampire bats that delivered messages extremely quickly. If Tian Yu and Tian Chou, who were guarding the Great Wall, had vampire bats to deliver the news, then the Jizhou Mansion would have sent troops a long time ago. Not so passive as it is now.
"It seems that we have to accumulate a sum of beast crystals and buy enough vampire bats to monitor all the states in Hebei. There are also Cao Cao and Yuan Tan's Central Plains, and it should be time for comprehensive surveillance. ”
Yuan Xi thought in his heart.
Grade: 6
Experience: 00
Control: 00
Beast Crystal: 1618
Mission 1: Control 1 beast and gain 10 experience points.
Options: Control, Enhanced, Recycling, Marketplace
When I opened the beast system, I found that the number of beast crystals was only more than 10,000 points. Yuan Xi couldn't help but purse his mouth: "You still have to work hard." ”
"What do you mean, lord?" Seeing that Yuan Xi was in a daze, he asked frustratedly.
"I asked you for a plan, but you asked me." Yuan Xi came back to his senses, a little speechless.
"The Lord forgives sins."
Frustrated with embarrassment.
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "From Yecheng to the Great Wall, the road is too far, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the troops." Even if the behemoths are summoned, it will be too late. In that case, what else is supported? The herald Jiao touched, and the garrison of Youzhou could go to support the Great Wall. However, it is necessary to defend the city, and not to fight with the Xiongnu in the field without authorization. As long as they can hold out for a month or two, I believe that the Xiongnu will definitely withdraw if they have no food. ”
"No."
There is no better way to give it a try, so I can only give it a try according to what Yuan Xi said. Maybe you don't need to transfer the Jizhou army to it, and you can block the attack of the Huns. That's a big savings.
"Mr. Fu."
"Yes."
Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said, "The giant beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Garden need a lot of food. The military and political yamen should send an order to the two states of Hebei and You, and make a large number of acquisitions. lest the behemoths go berserk when they lack food. ”
Frustrated: "Don't worry, my lord. Since the establishment of the Garden of Beasts, there have been special officials who are responsible for raising cattle, sheep and other livestock. Every few days, it is sent to the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts. Not only that, since the last incident, the minister has arranged for some officials to be responsible for observing and counting the amount of food eaten by the giant beasts, as well as their physical condition, and there will be no problems. ”
"Sir did an excellent job." Yuan Xi was a little speechless.
He originally wanted to find a reason to buy animals on a large scale, but he didn't expect to be frustrated and prevaricated.
"The more animals the better, so let's buy them." Yuan Xidao.
"No."
Frustrated, he answered.
The meeting is over.
Yuan Xi went to the backyard to meet Zhen Mi and Gao Ling. They were all pregnant, and they stayed in their dormitories, not moving around easily.
"Mi'er, how are you feeling?" Seeing that Zhen Mi's stomach was already very high, Yuan Xi stepped forward and asked.
"It's fine." Zhen Mi held Yuan Xi's hand and said with teary eyes: "Husband hasn't come back for several months. ”
"Missed me?"
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi hugged her and said, "I will try to stay with you and you as much as possible in the future." He inadvertently remembered Gao Ling. Gao Ling is pregnant for the first time, so it should be more difficult than Zhen Mi.
After talking to Zhen Mi for a while, he excused himself and left.
Arrived at Gao Ling's courtyard.
Gao Ling is different from Zhen Mi. She didn't lie in bed all the time. With the support of several maids, she walked around the house barefoot, still so lively and optimistic.
Yuan Xi looked outside for a while, and entered the house with a smile: "Ling'er." ”
"Husband." Gao Ling saw Yuan Xi and ran over.
"Be careful, be careful." Yuan Xi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "You are pregnant, and you are still so frizzy." What to do if you hurt a child in your belly? ”
"It's been a long time since you've come to see me." Gao Lingdao.
"Aren't I busy?" Yuan Xi helped her sit aside.
Gao Ling's four maids consciously retreated outside the house, giving Yuan Xi and Gao Ling the opportunity to create a world for two.
"I wish I could have a boy." Gao Lingshu said suddenly.
"It's okay to have a boy or a girl. I like them all. Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Actually, I hope you give birth to a little girl." It is said that the daughter is the father's padded jacket, but I haven't experienced it yet. ”
"Huh."
Gao Ling chuckled and said, "Then give birth to a daughter." ”
Early morning.
The hazy mist just disappeared.
The two brothers of the Zhen family came to the Assassin's Mansion together.
Yuan Xi asked about the acquisition of shops and land.
Zhen Yan replied: "We are here for this reason. The shops and land in the ten counties of Youzhou, including the mountains and forests, have been acquired by us. The Lu family's property in Youzhou was almost destroyed by us. ”
"Good!"
Yuan Xi said excitedly: "The land and mountains and forests of the ten counties of Youzhou are all owned by the government. I have the right to distribute it in the future. Halfway through the words, Yuan Xi didn't say any more: "You guys did a good job!" ”
Zhen Yao arched his hand and said: "This is thanks to the support of the government. ”
