How many people are there in Gohara-gun? About 5,000 people! Is it a lot? It does sound like a lot, there are 5,000 people in one Wuyuan County, so there are 9 counties in the entire state, and it is tens of thousands to add one plus at will? Plus reinforcements from the imperial court......

It's just that the imagination is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and the soldiers and horses that can really be used in the entire Wuyuan County are only 2,000 or even less, otherwise the 9 counties in the entire Wuyuan County will be given away in vain except for the one where the troops are stationed.

What about the other counties? Xihe, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Shangjun are all the territories of the Southern Huns, not to mention whether they are willing to help, even if they are willing to help, then they have to wait for the imperial court to issue an edict.

Because of this, the county where the Southern Xiongnu is located and the adjacent Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang counties cannot send many soldiers and horses to support Wuyuan County, especially Yanmen County, although its garrison is more than Wuyuan, but in addition to garrisoning the Southern Xiongnu, they also have to send people to resist the Xianbei people who may attack.

What made Du Zhan, Li Yi and others even more helpless was that the Hun Zhonglang General was empty, and General Du Liao didn't know why, since Qiao Xuan stepped down and entered Beijing, the imperial court did not send anyone to serve as General Du Liao.

How important is this position? To put it simply, when General Duliao was not set up in the past, the garrisons of border counties were basically more than 10,000 people. Later, with the presence of General Duliao, the troops under the border county guards began to decrease.

Well...... The people are gone, but the soldiers are still there, right? It's indeed still there, but without General Duliao, how could those soldiers dare to move? How dare Du Zhan go to the recruitment? That's a head-off thing!

"Speaking of which, since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the entire Bingzhou seems to have nothing to do with the troubled times, and it was not until Cao Cao basically defeated Yuan Shao that he sent someone to take over the Bingzhou, so during this period......" Li Yi inexplicably began to worry in his heart.

No way, he really doesn't know the history of the state, in fact, the only thing he knows about the state from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms is that there are so many famous generals and Ding Yuan, the poor worm, who makes the sense of existence of the state second only to Jiaozhou?

After a short time, Gao Shun led Li Yi's disciples and subordinates had all gathered, "Master, there are 86 people in total, although the slave and maid relayed the master's words to them, they still insist on coming. Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, before Li Yi could speak, these disciples kept shouting loudly.

"Master, let the slaves and maids go with you!"

"The lives of the slave and maid's parents were saved by the old master, and the little master treated the slave and maid's family with kindness like a mountain......"

"If you fail, you will die even if you stay here......"

A group of people kept shouting, in short, in a word, to go on the expedition with Li Yi. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he doesn't want to stay in the city.

"You ......" Li Yi couldn't help but choke up a little as he looked at the emotional appearance of the crowd. Although these disciples are also very respectful to him on weekdays, it is only at this critical juncture that he really knows what the word "life" means, and what it will be like when someone is willing to gamble their lives for you.

"It's worthy of Yan Zhao Nan'er, this kind of pride and loyalty is really amazing......" Cai Yong sighed softly when he saw this.

Yan Zhao Nan'er said that it was the Zhao State and the Yan State during the ancient Warring States Period, on the occasion of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, because the Yan State and the Zhao State were relatively weak, and they were bordered by the Xiongnu in the north, and the Qin State, the Qi State, the Wei State and other powerful forces in the south, which made them want to protect themselves, they must be united, loyal and brave...... For example, Li Mu of Zhao State and Jing Ke of Yan State are among the representative figures.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi and the others echoed one after another, while Zhang Meng looked at all this with bright eyes, and the scene in front of him made him feel the shock that he had not felt in books before.

After a while, Li Yi came back to his senses, glanced around at everyone, and then said loudly, "In that case, I won't say much else, you just need to know that if you die, your family and descendants, I, Li Yi, will take care of them for the rest of my life!" Survive and get the money! In the future, the day when I Li Yi is promoted will also be the time for you to become officials! ”

"Oh!" The crowd shouted frantically.

Li Yi didn't say anything that he would definitely bring them back alive, because Li Yi himself didn't believe this kind of thing. Therefore, he thought about it and said such a paragraph, at least for now, the effect is not bad.

"Change gear! Prepare your horses! Li Yi ordered loudly, and with Li Yi's words, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others quickly led the 86 people to the ranch with a set of armor.

And Li Yi turned to look at Cai Yong and the four of them, and was about to say something, but Cai Yong interrupted him with a smile, "Zikang Mo has to worry, although we are not as good as Zikang's martial arts, we can still do some meager help to assist the county to defend the city." ”

Saying that, Cai Yong said again, "Well, I'll take the first step and ask the Governor if there is anything I need help with." With that, he took the lead and walked out the door. And Zhang Zhi and the three of them also tacitly followed, obviously, they also knew what Cai Yong meant by doing this.

Seeing the four of them disappear at the door, Li Yi turned around and looked at the hall in the mansion, at this time, Cai Yan was standing silently at the door looking at himself. And Cai Qing and the others, who have always been almost inseparable from Cai Yan, don't know where to hide at this time.

"Sister Yan......" Li Yi slowly walked in front of Cai Yan and stood still, looking at her eyes for a long time before shouting in a low voice.

And Cai Yan also looked at his eyes, and only after a long time did he laugh softly, "Brother Zikang, Yan'er wishes you a victory." ”

"Uh......" Li Yi paused when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Cai Yan to say this. In his opinion, he has reconciled with Cai Yanqin, so he has to say something like "don't die", or "I'll marry you when I come back".

Seeing Li Yi's appearance, Cai Yan suddenly said shyly, "Brother Zikang, you must win!" Next year...... Next year, Yan'er will be able to take the word in time, so ...... You're going to come back victorious! In the end, Cai Yan's bright eyes looked at Li Yi's eyes again, which were full of determination.

"Don't worry!" Li Yi looked at Cai Yan and reassured. Although the words are full of Li Yi's determination and attitude.

"That'...... That Yan'er served Brother Zikang in armor......" Cai Yan said a little evasively, and quickly ran into the house to take down the armor hanging on the wall.

"Sister Yan be careful, it's very heavy~" Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly rushed over to help, and for a while, Cai Yan, who was in a hurry, helped Li Yi put on his armor under Li Yi's guidance.

Well, fortunately, the Li Mansion was already empty at this time, otherwise Cai Yan might be so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head, right? It's just that she seems to have neglected the three little guys?
