Chapter 70 The Danger of the City

As soon as Yuan Shaofeng said this, Qin Yi looked at Jing Yuyin, Jing Yuyin thought for a while, got up and said to Geng Liao: "General Geng, at present, the golden family is rampant on the line from the boundary of Yancheng to Liaoqiu, although it is temporarily retreating, but before the heavy snow in the future, it is still necessary to be careful to take precautions, and the green wolf, wild fox and other tribes in the southern grassland have entered the land of Lin and Xiang more than a month ago, plundering the people of Daxia, the punishment of this young general should be temporarily recorded, and when the barbarians retreat, it is not impossible to punish again!" ”

Speaking of this, Geng Liao cursed in his heart, who would have thought that such a young general would be Yang Mao's disciple, so he had to endure how he wanted to deal with Lin Xiu, otherwise he would have to endure it in front of everyone in the account, which would have a great impact on the future military career.

After a short breath, Geng Liao changed his gloom, and bowed to Yang Mao very respectfully: "Master Yang, I didn't expect this son to be your disciple, no wonder he is brave and resolute, commanding the military array, and his talent is awe-inspiring. ”

Although these words are false, which makes people feel irritated at the bottom of their hearts, but in this case, there is no step that dragged Geng Liao out to overturn.

"Don't dare! This son comes from a humble background, the old minister just does his best, as for the military talent, the general is still well-taught! ”

Yang Mao responded, returned Geng Liao's kindness, and turned to Lin Xiu in a deep voice: "Zhong Yi, I didn't expect to meet you here, but since you take the battlefield as your life path, be loyal and righteous, and serve Daxia, it is not in vain to be the teacher's original teaching, in the future, you have to work hard to guard the frontier for Daxia, stabilize the foundation of the palace, and practice your name of Zhongyi!" ”

"Master's words, disciples obey them!" Lin Xiu's eyebrows were slightly red, his breath was surging, and he bowed heavily to Yang Mao, such a big gift, even if Yang Mao and Lin Xiu did not belong to the same army, it was understandable, after all, since ancient times, no one dares to rebel!

Subsequently, Lin Xiu and the general left the tent, and as soon as Huang Han and Wu Zheng came out, they gathered around and said urgently: "Lin Xiu, you are really a bachelor of the country!" ”

"Boy, I didn't expect you to have such a background? What kind of conscription do you participate in like this, do you know the origin of your master, when you are a scholar of the court, the pinnacle of the Wenge! Wu Zheng seemed to sigh and seemed to be puzzled.

It's just that Lin Xiu didn't have the ease of getting rid of the crime at all, but his face was worried, which made Huang Han puzzled, he stretched out his hand and slapped Lin Xiu: "Boy, the cane is confiscated, and the gang leader doesn't have to go, why are you still like this?" ”

"Just now... Did His Royal Highness the King of Qin say just now that the barbarian tribe has entered the land of Linxiang and Xiang..."

Wu Zheng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, but this is all for the sake of your master, to exonerate you!" ”

But after Lin Xiu confirmed this, his face turned pale again, like a dead man in a coffin, and at the end he said in a trembling voice: "My home is in Linshui County, on the eastern boundary of Lincheng..."

Lin. The once spacious and accessible city roads were now crowded with countless refugees, and the sound of wailing and crying was heartbreaking, and if it weren't for the armoured patrols and patrols to control the situation, these refugees would have fought together to seize the last piece of dry bread in the hands of others.

"Lord County Guard, it has been counted, a total of more than 123,670 people, if it goes on like this, our surplus food in the treasury can only last for fifteen days, if there are no reinforcements coming, those refugees are afraid that there will be trouble!"

On the city wall, the palace minister Yu Hailong hurried over to Yao Qishengdao, the county guard who was inspecting the state of defense.

After Yao Qisheng heard this, his brows twisted into Sichuan characters, he turned around and looked at the battlements, looking at the crowded and crooked refugees on the street, in addition to being anxious and anxious, what could he do?

A month ago, those barbarians riding tall horses and carrying scimitars suddenly appeared in Linbei, for a time, Yao Qisheng asked for help from Xiangcheng and Licheng, and sent county soldiers to rescue these people before the barbarians slaughtered, in just half a month, the small Lincheng has been filled with hundreds of thousands of people in various counties and townships.

At present, those barbarians have not been able to break through Lincheng, but the shortage of food in the city is getting more and more serious, and there have been several fights and killings in the past few days, killing and injuring more than 100 people.

"My lord, my lord, I found a brute rider in the direction of Dongcheng!"

When he was thinking about the way out of the city, Jiang Gan, the commander of the marching battalion and the captain of the flying cavalry, hurriedly came: "My lord, these barbarians should not want to attack the city!" ”

Yao Qisheng didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and ran towards Dongcheng.

Five miles outside Dongcheng, the smoke and dust were billowing and the horses were roaring, Yao Qisheng's dry and yellow tired cheeks highlighted a little fear, he tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and asked urgently: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Lincheng?" ”

"My lord, there are 1,000 light horses, 3,000 bows and crossbows, 4,000 foot soldiers, and there are about 1,000 people in the army, and there are about 1,000 people in the county!"

"So little..."Yao Qisheng breathed in a low voice, and then said again: "Now take people to the street and issue notices, but all young and strong people under the age of forty will be incorporated into the militia to help defend the city!" ”

"Your Excellency... You do this... Is the barbarian going to attack the city? Jiang Gan was shocked.

"Whether the city is attacked or not, I don't know, I only know that once it is broken, these hundreds of thousands of people in Lincheng will die! Since these people have taken refuge in the city, they are obliged to defend the city together! ”

The merchant fence in the north of Lincheng, here is the gathering place of merchants, as early as when the barbarians appeared in Linbei, Lin Mao hurriedly took the Zhang family and several neighbors with a good relationship to flee here, compared to those who crowded the streets day and night, they are better, today, just pad the fast dry cake, Lin Mao supported his cart and leaned in the corner, looking at the gray sky in a daze.

Zhang came to him and whispered, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Mao rubbed his eyes and said uncomfortably: "This dog's world, I really don't plan to let people live... And also... What happened to our show? Not even a single message? ”

Speaking of Lin Xiu, Zhang's heart was directly broken, since the barbarian appeared in Linbei, those rumors were like a terrifying carving knife swishing straight to the hearts of people, saying that the barbarian was so hungry that even people could eat, so what was the difference between it and the beast...

"Our Xiu'er is a student, can read and write, I heard that the master in the conscription also wants to ask him to write a war report or something, maybe he doesn't have to go to the battlefield!" Zhang's remarks were just a lie to himself, leaving a good thought for his fragile heart.

As a result, a ridicule came from behind him, which made people's hearts flutter.

"I said, third child, why are you here! It's easy for me to find! When the words fell, Lin Zhonglian hurried over, and when he saw this second brother of his family, Lin Mao's straight teeth hurt.
