Chapter 64: The Bandits Riot

The same look also appeared on He Zhen's face, and He Zhen, who had always been as light as a mud bodhisattva, finally had a change in his expression. www.biquge.info Although this change is extremely small, even He Xian beside him did not notice it.

Unlike the panic aura in other places in the hall, the He family was quiet and terrifying. If there were a high-ranking person who knew how to look at it, he would definitely see a strong killing aura that had already formed in the air above He's.

There were dozens of famous squires here, and one of them really noticed the abnormality on He's side. That is the young man who had chatted with He Xian a few words before, Li Yan and Li Fangzheng from the Li family in Fuyang. At this moment, looking at He's reaction, he fell into a deep contemplation, as if he was making a choice.

"Childe, it's urgent at home!" Wen Ping, who had gone out to inquire about the news, suddenly turned back and forcibly interrupted He Xianzhi's hard thinking.

He Xian opened the urgent mail handed over by Wen Ping, and there was only a folded page of paper in the brocade bag, with the words "personally opened" written on it. Seeing the handwriting, He Xian knew where this urgent item came from.

Because, this is Wang Xiaoxiao's word.

He Xian had already vaguely guessed what the big event was.

Opening the piece of paper only confirmed his conjecture.

"What, the Four Great Bandit Alliance will have hundreds of thousands of thieves and a joint attack?!" In the study of the county guard's mansion, after hearing the detailed report, Chu Junshou's legs were weak, and he almost sat down. Fortunately, the county lieutenant beside him was quick and held the county guard's arm, which prevented the tragedy.

"When will Lord Qin's reinforcements arrive?" After a few breaths, the county keeper, who had come to his senses, took a step forward, and like a person who was about to drown saw a life-saving straw, he grabbed the herald's hands tightly and asked eagerly.

"Lord Qin said that he has sent someone to Jingzhou in the starry night, and asked Lord Xu for the order to transfer troops! Reinforcements will arrive in Wancheng around the 20th at the earliest. The herald replied with a tired face.

"Twenty days? The thieves descended from Funiu Mountain, how many days can they reach at the earliest? Chu Gong turned to ask the county lieutenant on the other side.

"Uh...... Seven days ~ Oh no, five days! If you are in a hurry, you can arrive in three days! The lieutenant replied with a look of uncertainty on his face.

"The thieves can reach it in three days! Reinforcements will take twenty days! What a good thing that is! Chu Gong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "By the way, what kind of trick does Lord Qin have to teach you?" Come on! ”

"Hold on to help! Lord Qin said that there is something strange about the thieves going down the mountain this time, please Lord Chu must stick to it for 20 days! Otherwise, it's all over! ”

"Must?" Chu Junshou let out a scream from his throat, angrily shook off the herald's hands, and roared: "Twenty days? What shall I hold on to for twenty days? ”

The herald was speechless. He came from Jiangxia on a fast horse, and he was already exhausted. Since Lord Qin's order has been brought, anything that follows has nothing to do with it.

Chu Gong spread his hands and began to walk around the study, asking everyone in the study: "How is this good?" ”

"How's that good? Yes? ”

"How's that good? Yes? Yes? ”

……

The county minister, the county lieutenant, the scribe and other cadres, etc., you look at me, I look at you, I look at you, I don't know how to reply. What no one noticed was that a young scribe who was close to the door of the room quietly flashed out the door after hearing the news, and went straight to the front banquet hall.

……

The Douyan Alliance invited the Mountain Thieves Alliance to abandon their previous suspicions and go down the mountain at the same time, intending to attack Wancheng. After a gust of wind refused the invitation of the Douyan Alliance, he asked Wang Xiaoxiao to repair a letter to remind He Xian to be vigilant.

This is the entire content of the "urgent letter" handed over to He Xian by Wen Ping, which should also be the reason why Chu Gong left the banquet hall in a hurry.

"It's just that why did the Douyan Alliance suddenly launch such an attack at this point in time? Was it an accident or a conspiracy? In addition to the Douyan Alliance, which other alliances are involved? "The whole incident only shows a rough outline, and the details are still shrouded in fog, and more information needs to be gathered to restore the whole picture of the incident.

"Intelligence! Intelligence~" He Xian tapped the desktop of the desk with the joint of his right index finger, and let out a series of slightly impatient "tuk-tuk" sounds.

A blue-robed scribe came from behind the screen and headed straight for Fuyang Li's family. Located at the foot of Funiu Mountain, Fuyang is one of the most scenic places in the Nanyang area, but it is also notoriously poor. Without him, he was too close to the mountain and suffered from the raids of the bandits.

After the green-robed scribe whispered to the patriarch of the Li clan for a while, the people of the Li clan in Fuyang were all shocked, regardless of their manners and words, they hurried out of the banquet hall, completely ignoring the friends who tried to come forward to inquire about the news, and their expressions were almost panicked.

Fuyang County and the old nest of the Douyan Alliance are not far away, if the bandits of the Douyan Alliance go down the mountain and intend to attack Wancheng and other big targets, then Fuyang is the first stumbling block on their way forward! He Xian could deeply understand the anxiety of the Li clan patriarch at the moment.

It's just that another young man who followed the patriarch of the Li clan took advantage of the slight chaos in the banquet hall to bypass the crowd and quietly come to the side of the He family. When passing by not far behind He Xian, he quietly read out four words: Doudong Thousand Days. It looks like it's trying to dodge the crowd, and the footsteps don't stop in the slightest.

He Xian turned his head to look, wasn't that familiar back the young man from the Li family who was chatting with him just now?

"Li Yan, Li Fangzheng! What a fun guy! I don't accept your favor! He Xian promised in his heart.

"Douyan, Dongbai, Qianzhu and Tianzhu, four alliances, how many people?" He Xian turned his head and asked Wen Ping.

Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, then reacted, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "According to the intelligence information we collected before, the four alliances of Douyan, Dongbai, Qianzhu and Tianzhu are similar in scale to the League of Legends, with about 20,000 people, more than 10,000 young and strong people who can fight, and about 3,000 elites who can be equipped with iron weapons. If the four major alliances join forces, plus the displaced people who may join along the way, the total number is estimated to be 100,000, and the number of combatable soldiers accounts for at most, that is, about 50,000, and the armed elite bandits are about 15,000. ”

"What is the current strength of Wancheng?"

"3,000 soldiers. Among them, more than 2,000 people are newly recruited after last year's League of Legends incident, and their combat power is low. The number of private soldiers of the rest of the families is about 5,000. ”

With a force of 8,000 troops, with the high walls of Wancheng, guarding 100,000 rabble, in fact, is not an impossible task!

It's just that the front foot has just had Tang Zhou Gaomi, and the Taiping Road is about to start; The bandit alliance on the back foot side has an overall riot! During this period, could it be as simple as a coincidence?

This is a problem that He Xian has to consider!
