Li Yan put down the newspaper, frowned and asked, "Why is the city closed again?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "It seems that a group of thieves called 'Yilong' appeared on the outskirts of Kaifeng, and it is reported that they may have gone south, and they may come to our Qi County." Only then did the county seal the city. ”

"When will the gates be opened tomorrow?" Li Yan asked, "I have to go back to the village quickly." ”

Zhang Yi persuaded: "Don't go back." This time, there are a lot of people in this 'one dragon', and they dare to grab it even in Kaifeng. If you go south, you will either go to Tongxu or come to our Qi County, so you should stay in the city. ”

Li Yan waved his hand, stopped Zhang Yi's persuasion, and said impatiently: "There are still so many brothers waiting there!" Just tell me when the city gates will be opened tomorrow! ”

Zhang Yi had no choice but to reply: "In the morning, the morning is open, and in the afternoon, it is open for one hour to facilitate the residents to enter and exit, and the other time the four doors are closed, and no traffic is allowed inside or outside." ”

Li Yan nodded and ordered, "You go to Blacksmith Zhou and ask him to hurry up and build the arrowhead and receiver." And go to the bow and arrow shop and let them step up to make arrow shafts. When you make enough 100 sticks, you can send them to me, don't save them, understand? ”

"Yes, the villain wrote it down. Childe himself beware. Zhang Yi replied.

Early the next morning, Li Yan left the county seat and returned to Qilizhai.

"Another one?" Li Mu said disdainfully in the conference hall: "Last time, what was 'Yidougu', it was a false alarm. Now there's another 'one-dragon' one. ”

Li Zhong asked, "Brother Mu, do you have a relationship with them?" ”

Li Mu was even more disdainful and said, "Cut! What are they? It's just a small generation of latecomers. The people I know are all the heroes who first started in Shaanxi and Shanxi, Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, Cao Cao, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Jinwang and other time-honored brands. I don't know if these are new. ”

Li Yan said: "That's it, no matter whether the 'dragon' comes or not, let's prepare first." Lay bamboo sticks in the trench and then make two large shields. Arrows and crossbows, I have asked Blacksmith Zhou and them to hurry up and make them. Let the soldiers below take turns to practice the use of crossbows, we have few people, we can't fight, and it is the best choice to block the enemy if we are far away. ”

"The disaster in Henan, the imperial court doesn't know how to give relief, so now there are thieves everywhere, it's really stupid!" Li Zhong slapped the table and said angrily.

Li Mu smiled and said: "Second brother, you are no longer an edict, so you don't have to worry about the imperial court." ”

"I'm mentioning that the people are in a hurry!" Li Zhong said dissatisfied.

Li Yan hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, don't argue." Let's do our own thing, at least let's let these more than 300 people not have to be homeless people, or even thieves. When our strength is greater, we will be able to save more people. ”

"Little brother is right!" Li Zhong stood up and said, "We have to work harder, so that we have more strength, so that we can save more people!" After finishing speaking, he didn't say hello to Li Yan and Li Mu, and went out on his own. After a while, I heard the sound of Li Zhong's training and guidance to the soldiers outside.

Li Mu glanced out and said with a smile: "Second brother really thinks about the common people in the world." ”

"What's so funny about that!" Li Yan stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the defense facilities of the stockade, and make a plan first, don't wait for the rogues to come by surprise." ”

Li Mu followed behind Li Yan and complained in a low voice: "As if you two are good people, I was the first to build the imperial court!" To rebel is to give the people a good life! ”

Beijing, Mandarin Palace.

"Your Majesty," Yang Sichang played, "The right attendant of the Ministry of War, Sun Chuanting, has written to the court, please see Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen asked with a dark face, "What are you doing when you see me?!" Take a look at these excerpts of merit! Which one is true?! The 180,000 army watched as the Donglu left safely with the captive people and property?! ”

"Your Majesty is angry." Yang Sichang explained: "Our army has three steps and seven horses, and some of them have not reached the number of such a horse team, and their mobility is poor. And the captives are all cavalry, once the anxiety is formed, the enemy's reinforcements will soon arrive, but our infantry will not be able to catch up with the battlefield, so ~"

"Needless to say!" Chongzhen said dissatisfiedly: "The general is incompetent! What does Sun Chuanting want to say? ”

Yang Sichang replied: "Sun Shilang thinks that it is not appropriate for Qin soldiers to stay in Jizhen. Staying in Jizhen will neither protect the captives nor help the thieves. ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "Ridiculous! Jizhen doesn't guard, Jingshi He An?! The Qin soldiers have good combat power, and they are fighting against Gao Chuang in the Meridian Valley, are these reports all fake? ! Why can't you say that you can't be captured?! Shaanxi thieves are not in a good mood, what good is it to keep Qin soldiers? ! ”

"The food and salary of the Qin soldiers came from Hetuntian, and the family members were also~" Yang Sichang continued to explain to Chongzhen, but was interrupted by the emperor.

Chongzhen shouted: "No need to say it again! Qin Bing sent to Jizhen, go immediately! ”

It's no wonder that Chongzhen is in a hurry, this time the Qing troops entered the Kou, and they came in from the defense line of Jizhen. Having the powerful Qin soldiers to guard the passes of Jizhen can make him feel a little more at ease. Coupled with the coordinated command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, the safety of the Beijing division can barely be guaranteed. Therefore, Qin Bing must go to Jizhen, and he absolutely cannot accept Sun Chuanting's opinion.

"That Sun Shilang~"

"Nope!" Chongzhen said resolutely: "Now that the thieves and bandits in Henan are rising, since he has been given the military affairs of Baoding, Shandong, and Henan, let him set off quickly, exterminate the thieves in Henan, and don't stay in Beijing anymore!" ”

"The minister will let him go to Henan as soon as possible." Yang Sichang bowed down and agreed.

South of Kaifeng, Chenliu Town.

"Big Boss," a lean man stood up and said, "Should we go to Qixian to have a look?" It has not been robbed by other rebels, so it should have some savings. ”

Yilong sat on the chair casually, raised his eyebrows and said: "Qixian is a newly built city wall, all covered with bricks, and it is not easy to fight." ”

The lean man still said: "There are still a lot of fortresses outside the city, and there is also some food. Moreover, there are many hungry people in the county, and I have sent my brothers into the city to prepare for internal response, and I can wash the county seat by opening the city gates. ”

"Brother 'Shiqian'," Yilong said with a smile, "how much food can there be in a few forts?" Don't bother with that. As for the county seat, I'll give you a thousand men, and you can go and try a dozen. Give you ten more horses, and if you really have a chance to shoot them down, you can inform me, and I will send a large team of men to help you." ”

"Thank you, big boss!" Shi Qian thanked him and then said, "Are the families of these brothers also going with their brothers?" Filling in the trenches and making noise all require manpower. ”

A dragon waved his hand and said, "No! There are so many villages and towns on the road, how many people can't get them? Or do you want the families of the brothers to go on adventures? Just go for it. ”

'Shi Qian' had no choice but to agree: "Little brother obeys the order!" ”

After the meeting was over, a staff member dressed as a scholar, who had never even tried to be a child, said, "Big boss, does he want to set up his own door?" ”

"A little trash fish!" A dragon said disdainfully: "Come if you want to come, leave if you want to go, I think this is a thatched house!" I'll see how he dies this time! ”

"Big Head LinkedIn!" The old boy praised flatteringly.
