Chapter Ninety-Nine: Xiang Lin led his troops to knock on the pass

In the afternoon, the armies from all walks of life began to set off, and they went to various places from Yuncheng County one after another.

It took more than half an hour for the 30,000 army to finish, and at this time, Wang Xu's personal soldiers and the 5,000 sword and shield men were left in Yuncheng County, and he was not in a hurry to leave, because there was still something to be done.

That is, who should be the county commander of Yuncheng County, this question is very important, although Yuncheng is only a small city, but it must also be under its own control.

Jia Hui said: "Lord, why don't you let Sun Liang take the post of county commander." ”

"No, I've already investigated clearly, Sun Liang doesn't have real talent and learning, he is a complete gentleman, and he is embarrassed." Wang Xu said.

Jia Hui frowned: "What does the lord mean?" ”

Wang Xu said: "Choose a centurion in the army who is not weak in learning to serve, one body and two positions, while dealing with the political affairs of Yuncheng, lead the five hundred county soldiers who surrendered to guard Yuncheng." ”

This is also a helpless move, in fact, Wang Xu knows very well that it is still unknown whether he can defeat Zhou Yi, and it is not so important who is on duty in the county order, and besides, even if Zhou Yi is defeated, there are millions of troops in the imperial capital hundreds of miles away, if the imperial army attacks, all of this will be wiped out and cease to exist.

"Yes." Jia Hui said solemnly.

Waving his hand to signal him to retreat, Jia Hui slowly withdrew from the courtyard.

Jia Hui handled the matter of arranging the county order, and Wang Xu and Zhang Meng walked into the mansion.

When he came to the lobby, Wang Xu sat down casually, took a sip of tea, pouted violently, and said with a big grin: "Lord, I have an opinion on you." ”

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a teasing smile, "Hehe, what are you dissatisfied with me, let's hear it." ”

Zhang Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why can Sun Yu and Huang Quan lead an army to fight in various places, and I can only nest in the back." ”

Taking two breaths, Zhang Meng continued: "The most infuriating thing is that Li Zhi and Qin Shuang's two boys have just been attached, and they can lead an army alone, how bad are I compared to them?" On martial arts, on military merits, on stratagems, on stratagems, there is no need to talk about stratagems, let's talk about war exploits and martial arts, can they compare with me? ”

Zhang Meng's mood Wang Xu understands very well, he still has a very good way to deal with this kind of nerd, after thinking about it, Wang Xu said solemnly: "Zhang Meng, don't think I'm favoring them, they are attacking small counties, and the Minglan County we are going to next is a big county, if you can help me capture Minglan, it will be a real great achievement, I am taking care of you." ”

"Think about it yourself, there are only more than 1,000 enemy troops in those small counties, and the army will all surrender as soon as they arrive, and they don't even have to fight, and it's useless for you to go, but Minglan County has thousands of elite soldiers, and they will definitely not surrender, are you afraid that there will be no battle to fight at that time?"

Zhang Meng was overjoyed: "Really? ”

Wang Xu nodded, and said in his heart that this nerd is really good, and he was persuaded in a few words; However, what Wang Xu said is true, Minglan County is indeed a big county, larger than any county in Guxi County, otherwise there would be no Xiongguan like Languan as a barrier.

"Lord, when are we leaving?"

"Right now." Wang Xu got up and said, "Go and gather all the soldiers first, and when Mr. Jia is done, we will go back to Shilanguan." ”

Zhang Meng smiled: "Okay, let's go." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then walked towards the school grounds

Lan Guan.

On the west city wall, Zhang Xue stood behind the wall pier and looked into the distance, she would come here every day to have a look, hoping to see Wang Xu appear, although Liao Yun had told her many times that Wang Xu would not come back due to his busy military affairs, but she still insisted on coming every day.

Zhang Xue was wearing a set of turquoise sleeve skirts, and Qianqian's arms were clasped on her chest, at this time she was much more mature than before, and she was not as naughty as before.

There were two maidservants standing behind her, and one woman said: "Miss, it's windy here, let's go back to the mansion, General Liao told her many times to let Miss pay attention to her body and not get caught in the cold." ”

Zhang Xue shook her head and said resolutely: "I will wait here for the lord to come back." ”

The two maidservants didn't say anything more, because they knew that persuasion was useless, and after taking a cloak and putting it on Zhang Xue, the two stood quietly behind them.

In the Languan Mansion, Liao Yun looked at the book in his hand and frowned, just now the spies in Minglan County came with news that Zhu Huan, the marquis in Minglan City, was recruiting troops to expand his armaments, and had already recruited thousands of people.

Now there are only 1,000 elite soldiers in Languan, and the 1,000 soldiers who have just been recruited are still in training, so it is difficult to have any combat effectiveness at all.

"The lord will pay me such a critical pass, and Lan Guan must not be lost." Liao Yun gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

Wu Cheng sighed: "Languan City is small, it is not easy to recruit troops, it is impossible to recruit a large number of troops in a short period of time, and with only two thousand soldiers, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight against the Minglan army." ”

Liao Yun snorted coldly: "If you can't beat it, you have to fight, Wu County Order, you just have to do your county order, you don't have to worry about defending the city, you will have your own countermeasures!" ”

Wu Cheng said helplessly: "Okay, the matter of defending the city will be handed over to the general." ”

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran from outside the door, and the soldier knelt down and said: "General, Zhu Huan's general Xiang Lin led the army to knock on the pass." ”

Liao Yun got up and exclaimed, "How many people are there?" ”

The soldier said, "No less than five thousand." ”

Liao Yun quickly took off the long knife on the weapon rack behind him.

"Order, all soldiers, go to the city to resist the enemy!"

With that, he and his soldiers walked towards the southern wall.

Wu Cheng looked at Liao Yun's back and smiled bitterly, when he was in Wanling County, he was suppressed by the three major families and couldn't turn over, so he finally wiped out the three major families, but he didn't expect Wanling County to be burned.

Now it is even more tragic, just a few days after arriving in Languan to take office, the enemy is coming again, God knows if Languan will be burned.

"Hey, it seems that you can only take one step at a time." He shook his head and began to take care of the affairs on the table

Languan, the south gate city wall.

Liao Yun hurriedly recruited all the soldiers in the pass and walked onto the city wall.

Looking at a lieutenant guarding the city, Liao Yun said, "How is it now?" ”

The captain pointed to the enemy troops under the city and said: "They are just scolding under the city, and there is no sign of attacking the city, and they are not carrying siege equipment, so they cannot attack the city today." ”

After listening to the captain's report, Liao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn't bring siege equipment, as long as he was given a day, he would be able to prepare the defense equipment, and then he would be able to fight the enemy to the death.

"Order, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission, you must take strict precautions!"

After thinking about it, Liao Yun continued: "Let the newly recruited thousand recruits prepare the equipment to defend the city, I estimate that there will be a big battle tomorrow. ”

"Order." The lieutenant solemnly hugged his fists.
