Chapter 254: Morning Bell and Dusk Drum
Julu County, Julu County.
The army led by Wang Lei temporarily stopped to rest, and the army set off from Ye County, and hurried all the way to Zhongshan as soon as possible. On that day, Wang Lei arranged the personnel to resist Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Jaw, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng each led their troops to leave, and Wang Lei also took the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion to Wuji County in the north.
At the same time, Xun Chen and Xin Bi, who went to Chang'an and Youzhou, also set out to do their best for this battle.
Wang Lei rested under the tree, and after a short time, a soldier came running.
"My lord, Zhongshan urgent!"
The soldier bowed down and handed over the news from Zhongshan Kingdom, Wang Lei spread out the bamboo slips and quickly browsed them.
After reading it, Wang Lei shook his hand, and the bamboo slip fell to the ground with a snap.
Wang Lei's expression was cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Guo Jia bent down to pick up the bamboo slips on the ground and quickly browsed them. After reading it, Guo Jia couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, because the news recorded on the bamboo slips was the news that the Wuhuan soldiers were wreaking havoc in Zhongshan Country. The Wuhuan soldiers went all the way south, and the villages and towns they encountered, except for food, money, and women, all the rest were killed and burned, leaving behind a scorched earth.
This situation made Wang Lei eager to kill all the Wuhuan soldiers.
Guo Jia also clenched the bamboo slip and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the people in the north have been slaughtered, all we can do is to hurry as fast as possible, and now, it is useless to consider other things." ”
Wang Lei said coldly: "When I lead the troops to the north, I will definitely kill all the Wuhuan soldiers." ”
Sen Sen's murderous machine spreads.
After resting for less than a stick of incense, Wang Lei ordered to set off and continued to run to Zhongshan Kingdom.
……
Wuji County, the residence of the Prime Minister.
Zhao Fengyue, the newly appointed minister of Zhongshan, looked sad, sat on the main seat, looked at Tai Shici, who was the first person on the left side of the hall who was as immobile as a mountain, and stopped talking, not knowing what to say. Zhao Fengyue served as the prime minister of Zhongshan, and at first he was filled with endless joy, however, he had been sitting in the position of the prime minister of Zhongshan for less than a month, and he heard the bad news before his ass was hot, and the Wuhuan soldiers and Gongsun Zhan's army were killed.
After Zhao Fengyue sent someone to investigate, he learned about the situation of Wuhuan soldiers.
More than 10,000 iron riders!
This 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry was not something that the power of Zhongshan could stop, and for a while, Zhao Fengyue was at a loss.
In addition, there are more than 10,000 troops of Gongsun Zhan.
The army was overwhelmed, and Zhao Fengyue couldn't stop such an attack, and his heart was anxious.
Seeing that Tai Shi Ci did not speak, Zhao Fengyue was silent for a long time, and took the lead in speaking: "General Tai Shi, the armies of Wuhuan and Gongsun Chan entered Zhongshan Country at the same time. Wuhuan went south from Tang County, the people were slaughtered, the villages were burned, and the places they passed turned into scorched earth. The people of the counties panicked and fled south to take refuge. In the past half a month, people from Tang County and nearby counties have come to Wuji County one after another, and we are under great pressure. ”
"Especially in the last three days, more than 1,000 people have entered the city every day."
"If this goes on for a long time, there will also be turmoil in Wuji County."
In addition to the harm caused by the Wuhuan soldiers, Gongsun Zhan also led the army south from Liwu County. Gongsun Zhan commanded the white horse to follow, and wherever he went, no one could stop him, and he also came to kill Wuji County. The two armies are going in different directions, but I guess the target is Wuji County, which is a lot of pressure for us! ”
Zhao Fengyue's eyes showed horror, and he said worriedly: "Once these two armies converge, Wuji County will definitely not be able to stop it. For now, the best strategy is to withdraw from Wuji County and avoid the attack of Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan soldiers. ”
Tai Shi Ci's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "If I withdraw my troops from Wuji County, the Zhongshan Kingdom will collapse immediately. When the time comes, the counties will give up their resistance, and the people will not know who to rely on. The situation is even more turbulent, so there is no way to retreat. Gongsun Chan and Wuhuan are powerful, but they may not be able to capture Wuji County. ”
Tai Shici's eyes were sharp, staring at Zhao Fengyue, and he said word by word: "Zhao Guoxiang, the lord's army is rushing to Wuji County, as long as the army arrives, it will definitely be able to counterattack." ”
Zhao Fengyue sighed lightly, and at this time, a soldier quickly ran in.
The soldier bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the county order asks to see you!" ”
"Please!"
Zhao Fengyue waved his hand, and the soldiers went down to pass the word. Not long after, the county order of Wuji County walked in.
The county order was about thirty o'clock, and after hurriedly walking in, he saluted Zhao Fengyue and Tai Shici, and said: "Your Excellency, there are countless people pouring into the city today, and now, the people in the city are already overcrowded, and it is difficult to accommodate the people from various counties. Because there were so many people who were accepted, and these people who had just arrived had no place to live, they mixed with each other, and the situation was very chaotic. ”
Zhao Fengyue's mind changed and he ordered: "Close the city gate and prohibit the people from entering the city." In addition, if there is a troublemaker, there will be no forgiveness. The current situation is chaotic, and it must be suppressed by thunderous means, otherwise we will be in chaos without waiting for Gongsun Chan and Wu Huan to kill. ”
Tai Shici did not agree to withdraw, and Zhao Fengyue could only resist.
Now, the means must be taken to respond.
Tai Shici said: "Zhao Guoxiang, after the city gate is closed, what will happen to the people who come from all directions? The Wuhuan soldiers are killed, the people have nothing to rely on, we don't help them, who will help them? You are the prime minister of Zhongshan, the support of all the people in Zhongshan country, if you don't help them, who wants to help? ”
In a word, Zhao Fengyue's face was ashamed.
Zhao Fengyue was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "General Taishi, it's not that I don't help the people, but continue to open the city gate to welcome the people from all directions. ”
After thinking for a moment, Tai Shi Ci said, "No matter what, we must accept the people who have fled from all directions. Is the city still worried that it can't accommodate tens of thousands of people? I will send 3,000 soldiers to build grass huts in the city to help you control the situation. What Zhao Guoxiang has to do is to sort out the people, do a good job in logistics, so that the people will not go hungry, and let the people sleep with peace of mind. ”
"The situation is unfavorable, and it is useless to sigh for a long time."
"Instead of sighing in the house all day long, it is better to go to the people in person, reassure the people, let the restless people settle down, and let the people trust us."
"Gongsun Chan or the Wuhuan army will kill it, so that the people can stand firmly on our side."
"In addition, the news of the slaughter of various villages by the Wuhuan soldiers does not need to be hidden, just tell the people in the city. They know the brutality of the Wuhuan soldiers, so they can take up arms to resist and fight with us. The people are unarmed, but when we need their help, these unarmed people will still be our help. ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "The strategy of the strong wall and clearing the field must continue to be implemented, no matter what the result is, if it can cause a little damage to the Wuhuan soldiers, it will be successful." ”
After Zhao Fengyue heard this, he was even more ashamed.
During the period of invasion by the Wuhuan soldiers, Zhao Fengyue was frizzy, sighing all day long, and had no heart to deal with things. Tai Shici's words were like morning bells and dusk drums, which made Zhao Fengyue sober up.
Zhao Fengyue arched his hand and said: "General Taishi, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to live up to the trust of the state pastor." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Fengyue left with the county order.
Tai Shici also immediately left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the barracks. At this time, Tai Shi Ci must not mess up, once he doesn't know what to do, he has to mess up.
