As a result, the barbarians gathered 100,000 people to invade Shangjun. Another 20,000 men were sent as suspicious soldiers to advance to Yanmen County.

"Da Dan Yu is really enough to give Zhou Cong face, a hairy boy in his twenties who has only served as a peace officer in the Jin mainland, can he use our 100,000 troops to attack?"

"That is, the entire male Ding of the entire upper county is only a hundred thousand. Let's beat them 100,000 for 100,000, is it for the face of the Jin kid? Or do you bully the few people in Shangjun? ”

"I looked at Da Dan and saw that Zhou Cong was rich in the people, so I had to send more people to collect taxes for him Zhou Taishou."

"Alas, this Zhou Cong is really full of flowers. Hiding the wealth from the people forces us to send more people to get it. No wonder he was sent a big official by King Jin at a young age. ”

On the other side, Zhou Cong looked at the 10,000 regular border guards under Chang He, and then looked at the 20,000 militia reserves on his side......

"Alas, I hope the barbarians don't think too highly of me Zhou Cong! Your Majesty, send a Taishou over quickly! The barbarians have already robbed five counties, and they haven't robbed me yet! If you gather an army to fight me, it's enough for me to drink a pot!" He asked Xiao Xia to take people in the countryside to mix among the people, saying that he lived and died with the people of Shangjun, and the actual psychology was very shaky, and he had nightmares all day and night, dreaming that his wife and children were captured by the barbarians. Now we have to show calm and composure to appease the people, and call on everyone to be on guard and defend the country.

On the other side, whether it is Pei Shao and Zhao Mu, or Yang Lang and Yang Lang's two generals, they are still on their way to Shangjun.

And Shanzhou Jiedu made Huang Shuhan also mobilize the main force to be ready to deal with it at any time, although he received information that the barbarians were going to attack Shangjun, but the soldiers were not tired of cheating, if they rashly transferred the main force to Shangjun, it would not be fun for the barbarians to run elsewhere with a shot at that time. Therefore, on the one hand, the main force was placed in Shangyuan County in the middle of Shanzhou, and rushed to various battlefields as quickly as possible at any time, and on the other hand, additional spies were sent to spy on intelligence.

"Changhe, no matter what happens, I hope you will delay for three days. As long as it takes three days, I guarantee that the barbarians will never return! ”

Finally, Yanmen County was attacked by the barbarians first, and the troops of 20,000 people took advantage of the night to seize the pass. Due to the help of Neiying, King Zuo Xian led people into a small checkpoint in Yanmen County, occupied a county, and then began to loot on a large scale.

"Attention all! Only grab food! Don't move the old, weak, women and children! ”

This order came down, not to mention that the local Xia people were puzzled, even the barbarians who came to rob were confused - we only robbed food? We don't want beautiful women? If you encounter an eye-catching person who does not cooperate, you are not allowed to cut it?

However, since King Zuo Xian has an order, the woman will not rob this time, and the official warehouse of the Jin people was burned before the county order escaped, and this time they can only go door to door to rob the rations of the people's homes, which is really troublesome.

What about the Xia people at the border? Break the fortune and avoid disaster. Anyway, the six counties of Shanzhou are often robbed by the barbarians, so every household has the habit of hiding the grain separately, as long as it is not looted by the barbarians, it is acceptable.

"King Zuoxian, when are we going to retreat?"

"It's best to wait for Huang Shuhan's army to come over, and if it's the worst, you have to recruit Qin Guang, the middle man of Yanmen."

"Then I'm going to tell the brethren to wait on the spot?"

"Tell the brethren not to dismount their horses for food, and not to leave their horses. We ran to someone's house and robbed it, but we had to run at any time. If we let our guard down at this time, then we won't be able to get out. ”

After Shanzhou Jiedu made Huang Shuhan get the news that the barbarians had entered Yanmen County, he ordered the main force to rush to Shangjun within three days, and the barbarians must be wiped out in Shangjun, and they were not allowed to escape. In addition, he gave Qin Guang, the general of Yanmen Zhonglang, a death order - absolutely not to let the barbarians of Yanmen County run to Shangjun or other counties.

"Attention all. Within three days, we must not only rush to Shangjun, but also immediately enter the battle to wipe out the barbarians in Shangjun. Maybe the barbarians have been repairing in Shangjun for a while, and maybe the barbarians and Changhe in Shangjun are inseparable. However, no matter what the situation, no matter how difficult our situation is, we must not let the barbarians continue to be so arrogant this time! ”

"We have nothing but martial arts! Nothing! This is the motto of the soldiers of the six counties of Shanzhou, the people of the six counties of Shanzhou, who are poor and bad, and are still remembered by the barbarians, really have nothing but martial arts.

Then an army of 30,000 men marched out to the upper county. They will wash away the shame of being beaten in the previous five counties in the upper county.

100,000 people, 100,000 barbarian cavalry bypassed the main checkpoint of Shangjun, and unsurprisingly ran to a small remote county and began to burn and loot.

It's not a loss to the lieutenant county, almost every household of the people in the upper county is a paramilitary talent, and the people who are already strong are sent by Zhou Cong to temporarily raid and take military courses this time. And because it was located on the border, it was already easy to be attacked, so the prefectural order concentrated people and food outside the city in advance. Relying on the advantage of the city wall, it cost the barbarians more than 1,500 deaths and more than 3,000 injuries to let the barbarians succeed.

This annoyed Yu Tuman:

"! In one county town, nearly 5,000 of my brothers were killed or wounded! If this continues, and he is finished in the county, how many people will my brothers lose? ”

"Da Shan Yu, it seems that this Zhou Cong is not simple. Should we withdraw our troops? ”

"Withdraw troops? How much food do we get in this small county? Withdraw troops? Kill all the men, women and children in this county for me! The young women are all taken away and placed in front of the next siege! ”

Since a small county has already been attacked by the barbarians, Chang He soon made a move and brought 10,000 professional soldiers closer to this side. Because this small county town was almost breached in less than a day, it shows that the barbarians attacked a lot of troops, and it was the main force.

On the one hand, Zhou Cong was guarding near the granary with 20,000 reserves, and on the other hand, he was also waiting for Changhe's news.

"Captain Cao, is it really the main force of the barbarians this time?"

"It must be. It was a small county with a population of 10,000 that was attacked, and there must have been more than 3,000 men. ”

"To be honest, I faced war for the first time. Alas, I have already written the sin note. Even if I defeat the barbarians this time, I will have to go to jail. "A county has been eaten by barbarians, and the law is going to be dismissed and imprisoned, and now that the county is not in office, Zhou Cong, the long history, will naturally go to prison.

"Don't be discouraged for a long time, the situation is special, and the king will forgive you. Besides, if you can defeat the barbarians, you can still make meritorious contributions, and you will not know how to make meritorious contributions. ”

"I hope so."

On the other hand, Chang and his luck were not bad, he rushed to the barbarians to attack Gaole County and stationed in Gaole County first. Da Dan Yu didn't catch the information this time, thinking that it was the same as before, he decided to put two thousand women in front, and then released the news:

"Surrender and hand over food, do not harm people's lives, do not plunder women and children. dared to resist, all the men and the old and weak were killed, and the women were the same as these two thousand. ”

The people of Gaole County began to panic, and the squires and officials of Gaole County were panicked. Chang He brought 10,000 regular troops, he would not panic, on the one hand, he sent someone to inform all the nearby counties to clear the wall, and on the other hand, he sent someone to send a letter to the Jiedu envoy. Then he began to work on the defense of the city of Gaolecheng.

"Several, Gaonu County is unlucky because there are no professional soldiers, and there are too many barbarian populations. The population of Gaole County is twice as large as that of Gaonu County, and even if my Changhe soldiers are not there, the casualties of the barbarians will be tens of thousands before we can defeat our Gaole County. Now that I have 10,000 soldiers and horses, the barbarians have to pay more casualties to defeat them, what are you afraid of? ”

"......" Whether it is the county order, the county officials, or the county squires, they are silent and do not speak.
