Chapter 94 - Luoyang Crisis [Ask for Collection]

In the hall of the Wei family, after receiving the news, Scar, Beard, Qiao Xinchao and others had already rushed over one after another, ready to discuss Luoyang's defense issues.

Everyone's faces were heavy, and the air in the hall was almost frozen.

"The two generals, now it has been confirmed, the commander who came to attack Luoyang is Qin Zongheng, the younger brother of Qin Zongquan, who led 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are elite soldiers under Sun Ru, and now they have camped ten kilometers outside the city." Qiao Xinchao nodded towards everyone and said with some panic.

"Master Qiao, what are you panicking about?" Wei Ruqian glared at Qiao Xinchao with some dissatisfaction, and said coquettishly, "If the soldiers see your panicked look, and think that Luoyang City can't be defended, wouldn't it be bad morale?" ”

Qiao Xinchao was a little blushing when Wei Ruqian said it, and hurriedly said to Wei Ruqian, "The princess is right, it is the lower official who has lost his temper, please forgive me." ”

"Are the rebels ready to attack?" Wei Ruqian knocked on the table and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Fan is not there, Wei Ruqian naturally became the backbone of everyone, and Joey has a weak temperament, which is not suitable for this role.

Fortunately, Luoyang stayed in the city, all of whom were Zhao Fan's loyal team, and they didn't make any trouble, no matter what the situation was, everyone still had great respect for Wei Ruqian and Joey.

"No, when the rebels arrived outside the city, they did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but set up camp outside the city." Qiao Xinchao was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment.

Everyone couldn't help but give Qiao Xinchao a roll of the eyes, the enemy army hasn't attacked the city yet, you are scared like this...

"No, according to the style of the rebels, they should attack as soon as they come, could it be that they were scared by us last time?" The bearded man blinked puzzledly and said uncertainly.

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, two generals, what unusual things have happened in Luoyang City recently?" Wei Ruqian frowned and asked softly.

"Unusual things, but I can't say anything, it's just that there are unusually many people in and out of the city in the past two days." The bearded man thought for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Sister, could it be that the enemy spies have come into the city, so the rebels are waiting for the spies to open the city gates?" Joey tugged at the corner of Wei Ruqian's clothes, tilted her head and said.

Everyone was silent for a while, I have to say that this possibility is still very large, after all, in the past few days, there has been no careful examination of the people who have entered and exited, and it is completely possible for someone to mix in.

"The princess is right, I'm afraid that the rebels have already infiltrated Luoyang City, and it will be difficult to investigate now." Qiao Xinchao sighed, nodded and said in agreement.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to take precautions." Scar, who had been silent, touched his head and said helplessly, "Before leaving, the prince specially explained that we are not allowed to disturb the people, if we disturb the people, the eight disciplines will serve." ”

"Oh, what are you afraid of, with my beard, I'll kill one of these spies, and I'll kill a pair of two!" The bearded man patted his chest and roared with pride.

"Alright, sit down, this has to be solved by the brain, do you have that thing?" Scar glared at the bearded man and said disdainfully.

The bearded man was not angry, but just smiled wryly and sat back down.

"Master Qiao, you are the prince's brainchild, how to deal with this matter, tell me your idea." Wei Ruqian waved her hand and said to Qiao Xinchao.

"This... It is better to gather all the officers in the city together, issue a set of passwords, and then arrange a group of absolutely reliable people to be on duty, and when patrolling anyone you meet, you must ask for the password, if the password is not right, kill on the spot! Qiao Xinchao pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Hey, Old Joe, don't really say it, your head is just good!" The bearded monster screamed, jumped up and patted Qiao Xinchao's shoulder, and shouted excitedly.

Qiao Xinchao's thin shoulder was hit by the bearded monster, and he suddenly stumbled and almost fell off his seat.

"What are you doing, you bastard? If Master Qiao is damaged, will you be a military advisor to the prince in the future? Scar jumped up from his chair and slapped the bearded man on the head. Roared viciously.

"I... I'm not joking with Old Joe, Old Joe, don't be angry! The bearded man laughed, ran behind Qiao Xinchao, pressed his shoulder, and said flatteringly. How's that, I didn't hurt you, come on, I'll give you a button..."

Qiao Xinchao could only smile wryly and shake his head, enjoying the kneading of the bearded bear's paws.

"It's not enough to be safe just a password, so let's have all our soldiers tie a white cloth on their left arm to make it easy to identify." Joey on the side shook his head, blinked and added.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, this trick of the princess is simply wonderful, it's really just right!" Qiao Xinchao broke free from the bearded bear's paws, high-fived and praised.

Everyone looked at Joey in surprise, today's military meeting subverted everyone's perception of Joey, and they couldn't imagine that this delicate little girl was so thoughtful.

As soon as Joey was watched by everyone, his little face instantly turned red.

"Ahem..."Wei Ruqian coughed lightly, breaking Joey's embarrassment.

Everyone reacted, instantly realized their faux pas, and quickly withdrew their gaze and smiled apologetically at Joey.

"Then this matter is decided." Wei Ruqian cleared her throat and said softly, "Bearded general, you are responsible for arranging for the soldiers to tie white cloths, and you can only give them white cloths, and you are not allowed to tell them about their usefulness." ”

"Yes!" When the bearded man heard this, he quickly straightened up and answered loudly.

"General Scar, you gather all the officers at the middle level and above, and then publicize the matter of the password in place, all soldiers are forbidden to act alone during the war, no matter what the task, when you go out, you must be led by this group of officers who know the password!" Wei Ruqian paused, and then arranged.

"From now on, the whole city is under martial law, if the patrol encounters someone who does not know the password, or has no mark, it will be killed!"

Wei Ruqian got up and glanced around at everyone, and said in a cold tone.

"The last general understands!" Scar bowed to Wei Ruqian and said respectfully.

"Sister, what's the password? It hasn't been scheduled yet. Joey on the side nodded first, and then couldn't help but poke Wei Ruqian's arm and said softly.

"Yes, I almost forgot about it..."Wei Ruqian nodded, and then muttered, "Password... Password..."

"The prince used to use a sentence as a mantra, that is, to draw a halberd from our side, I will peel a pear for Xiu'er, I think this is good." Joey chuckled and offered his opinion.

"Take my heavenly halberd, I'll peel a pear for Xiu'er? This is good, the enemy can't guess what the next sentence will be even if he wants to break his head, so it's decided. Wei Ruqian repeated Joey's words and bowed her head slightly.

"Generals, now that the prince is not here, everyone must work together to protect Luoyang City, the foundation of the prince, and our common home!"

"Yes!"
