At noon the next day, the temporary village chiefs of the other four villages rushed to Xiyue Port by boat and gathered at the Ma family's mansion.

The village chiefs all entered the inner hall of the Ma family, and their entourage was placed in the outer courtyard to greet them with good wine and food.

There are also drinks and food in front of the village chiefs in the inner hall, but no one has put down chopsticks yet.

“… Now the world is not peaceful, the Persia in the west is in turmoil, the Tang Dynasty in the east is also in decline, and the hundred tribes in the Western Regions are all ready to move, and it seems that things are about to change. These five river valleys connect Persia and Anxi, and it is a buffer place that no one will pay attention to in peacetime, but once the chaos starts, we will become a transportation artery for all parties, once the Seljuk Turks attack Persia, they will inevitably take advantage of the situation to enter Anxi eastward, trying to recover the Western Turkic homeland, and we will definitely bear the brunt of the attack at that time, and be the first to confront the Seljuks, so we must do everything possible to expand our strength. Kindness? What does Village Chief Chen have to ask? ”

Pan Xiaogu was talking when he saw a village chief raise his right hand, don't interrupt him, if you want to speak, you have to raise your hand first, this is the rule he set at the beginning.

"Lord, aren't we forming an alliance with the Yue Clan's Governor's Mansion? Is it possible to ask them to send troops to help against the Turks? "The person who spoke was the village chief of Xihe Village, a Tang fan, and his name was Chen Mutang.

Pro-Tang.

Pan Xiaogu put a label on Chen Mutang in his heart, he does not reject this kind of person, and he himself has a good impression of Datang.

However, a good impression is a good feeling, but Pan Xiaogu will never pin his net worth and life on others, even if he has a good impression and trusts no matter how much he trusts him.

Kindness... Pan Xiaogu is a typical suspicious and insecure person.

In addition, after getting in touch with the two local snakes of Anxi, the Yang family and the Cheng family, Pan Xiaogu got a lot of information about Datang and Anxi from the two families, which made him even more wary of Anxi.

Pan Xiaogu decided to reveal some information to dispel the unrealistic illusions of his subordinates.

"Don't expect Tang Anxi, according to the news I got over there, the Anxi Grand Governor's Mansion already has the intention of giving up most of the Governors' Mansions, including the Yue's Governor's Mansion, and retreating to the four towns of Anxi."

"How is this possible!" Chen Mutang exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible, the current Datang is no longer the Datang of three hundred years ago!" Pan Xiaogu said coldly, and at the same time glared at Chen Mutang, he didn't raise his hand just now.

When the five village chiefs heard that Anzai was going to give up this place, they all became depressed.

The atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became depressed, and Pan Xiaogu felt a little weak when he saw this.

Wasn't the intimidation a bit excessive? Don't scare these people into running away with your sister-in-law.

Pan Xiaogu looked at the expressions of the five village chiefs one by one with a scrutinizing gaze, and at the same time used identification to check the changes in the loyalty of the five people. Fortunately, none of these people lost their loyalty, but their personal state turned into panic.

Although what Pan Xiaogu said just now is the truth, it is just a reserved truth, in order to scare a few village chiefs and make them work harder when preparing for war.

Judging from the information from Anxi, there are indeed calls among the Seljuk Turks to reclaim the Western Turkic homeland, but it is not the mainstream, and it is still unknown whether the Seljuk Empire will have the strength to continue its eastward invasion after the destruction of Persia.

Similarly, the complete retreat to the four towns of Anxi is only a plan to deal with the extremely unfavorable situation, and it is not necessarily implemented, although they did do this in history, but it was a decision made when the connection with the Central Plains Imperial Court was severed.

The 'truth' after deducting the key information really achieved a terrifying effect, and the effect far exceeded expectations, Pan Xiaogu had to find a way to boost morale and strengthen the information of these people.

"Don't worry too much, even without the help of the Anxi Tang army, we can defeat those Turks! In the past, with the strength of only one territory in Xize Township, we defeated thousands of incoming Turks, and also wiped out a Turkic tribe with a size of 10,000 people, but now with our Xianyue Township, the strength is even stronger. ”

What Pan Xiaogu didn't say was that the attacking Turks and the Seljuk Turkic Empire, although they were both Turkic, were actually not at the same level at all.

The faces of the five village chiefs became a little better

"That's right, what are we afraid of, since the people of Xize Township can be defeated, our men from Xianyue Township will definitely be able to do it!" Chen Mutang patted his thigh and said, he forgot to raise his hand again, with him as an example, other village chiefs also joined in.

"Yes, what are you afraid of, the people of our Xianyue Township are no worse than the people of his Xize Township!" This person's name is Zhang Hansheng, and he is the village chief of Yuehu Village, and he and Chen Mutang both belong to the kind of people who yearn for the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties and want to make contributions.

The other village chiefs also responded one after another, and Pan Xiaogu cleared his throat loudly when he saw that everyone had reached a consensus on the issue of preparing for war.

"Calm down, you are already aware of the crisis situation we are about to face, and now I will talk about the future work arrangements."

"Crisis, crisis, is both a danger and an opportunity. We can't sit at home and wait for the Turks or other enemies to come to us, but we should take advantage of the chaos in Persia, take the opportunity to fight over, bite a bite of fat on Persia, and strengthen our own strength! Pan Xiaogu deliberately paused when he said this, observing the performance of several village chiefs

Chen Mutang and Zhang Hansheng nodded excitedly after hearing this, and several other village chiefs did not agree, but they did not object.

"Our Xianyue Township is the place where the army assembles and departs, so from now on, the main work of each village is to hoard grain and grass, and at the same time send sentry spouts into Persia to map the terrain, survey the situation in Persia, and prepare for the army."

"My lord..."Zhang Hansheng remembered that he didn't raise his hand after he spoke, so he quickly raised his hand, and only after seeing Pan Xiaogu nodding, did he continue

"My lord, don't the people of our Xianyue Township send troops to fight?"

The ability of the system officials and officers recruited by Shanyang Township can only be effective in Xize Township, and it can only be effective against the people of Xize Township, and it has no effect on Xianyue Township, unless Pan Xiaogu establishes a higher-level administrative county, and the officials and officers of the same county can be used.

"The first army to go out is indeed dominated by people from Xize Township, after all, the people over there have more combat experience, but I will also select elites from Xianyue Township to participate in the battle together." The elite that Pan Xiaogu said refers to the inheritors who are envied from the battle hall.

Several village chiefs were a little unconvinced, as if they felt that they were being looked down upon.

This kind of competition between territories still needs to be encouraged, and he even considered that in the future, as more and more territories are created, a system of exchanging merit for development points will be established, after all, development points are always insufficient.

"Xianyue Township will also form an army to participate in the war in the future," Pan Xiaogu first appeased, and then said the most important task he had assigned to Xianyue Township.

"And I have a more important and dangerous task here, which needs to be completed by our fellow villagers."

"I hope the villagers will be able to dredge the waterways of the Great River Valley!" Pan Xiaogu never gave up on dredging the waterway.
