Chapter 491: Gather in Longtan Town

The county commander respectfully welcomed Hong Xuanjiao into the house. Immediately arrange for someone to prepare hot water for Hong Xuanjiao. Hong Xuanjiao went to wash up first, changed into a set of clean and refreshing clothes, and finally felt comfortable.

She hadn't bathed for four days and hadn't eaten a full meal.

Moreover, she has old injuries on her body, which adds to Hong Xuanjiao's burden.

Now, Hong Xuanjiao took a hot bath, her whole body was transparent, and she had a gluttonous meal, and finally recovered some of her spirits. The county commander who was sitting next to him had a surprised expression on his face, looking at the empty plates and bones on the table one after another, he was surprised that a woman could eat so much, and she could eat enough for two big men to eat.

After the shock, the county magistrate was curious about what Hong Xuanjiao had encountered.

The dignified Xiao Wang Niang has become like this.

The county magistrate pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What happened to Xiao Wangniang?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao hiccuped, sat with her back against the chair, squinted her eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Here's the thing, when this official led an army of 30,000 to attack Li Zhen in the Jiangbei camp, he fought with 8,000 soldiers under Li Zhen's command. The two armies clashed, and the 8,000 soldiers under Li Zhen's command were all well-armed, and the 30,000 troops led by the official were crushed. After a battle, the official finally escaped back. It's just that all the soldiers who followed him died, and there was not a single one left. ”

Mentioning the war, Hong Xuanjiao was sloppy.

She spoke of the defeat and the defeat of the 30,000-strong army, but said nothing about her own capture.

The county magistrate listened to Hong Xuanjiao's words and couldn't help but gasp. Hong Xuanjiao's combat effectiveness is known to the whole country, but this female lieutenant has failed miserably, who can stop Li Zhen?

The county commander was cold in his heart, and he was very worried about the next situation.

Hong Xuanjiao glanced at the cowering county order, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen's troops have already pointed to Longtan Town, and with the thousands of soldiers in Longtan Town, they will definitely not be able to hold it." You immediately send someone to send urgent messages to the county commanders of Xiashu Town and Dongyang Town, and ask them to send soldiers to Longtan Town to defend against Li Zhen. In addition, soldiers were sent to transmit the news back to Tianjing to let the king of the east know. As long as we block Li Zhen in Longtan Town, and wait for the East King to send a large army to kill, we can annihilate Li Zhen in one fell swoop. When the time comes, you, the county commander, will be a meritorious man, and you will be promoted because of this battle. ”

The county magistrate listened to Hong Xuanjiao's words, first worried, and then moved.

Preferment!

This word lingers in the mind of the prefectural order, and it is beautiful and tempting.

The county commander Huo Ran stood up, changed his cowering situation, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured that Xiao Wangniang, the lower official immediately sent soldiers to Dongyang Town and Xiashu Town for help, and then sent soldiers to Tianjing to report the news." Li Zhen led the soldiers to attack, no matter how difficult it was, the lower officials would hold Longtan Town. ”

"Good, good! After this battle, the boss will recommend you. ”

Hong Xuanjiao nodded with satisfaction, and drew a big pie for the county order without hesitation.

The county commander knelt down and said, "The lower official is willing to serve Xiao Wangniang." ”

Hong Xuanjiao got up and said, "Okay, go get busy, I'm tired and need to rest." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately found the maid of the county government and asked the maid to take Hong Xuanjiao to the backyard to take care of her. At this moment, the county commander did not worry about the imminent attack on Longtan Town, but felt that he was on the side of a big tree. With a happy look on his face, he hurried to the study, wrote the letter in three times and divided it by two, and conveyed the order.

Hong Xuanjiao came to the backyard and sat in the house with her eyes closed.

The injuries on her body have not yet recovered, and she must be repaired through cultivation. It's just that it's an eventful time now, and Hong Xuanjiao can't care about her injuries, trying her best to suppress her injuries and plan for the next battle.

……

Xiashu Town is only a day's journey from Longtan Town, and the soldiers who delivered the message quickly stepped up and arrived in most of the day.

When I arrived, it was already night.

At this time, the town of Xia Shu had closed its city gates. It took a lot of effort for the soldiers who were carrying the message to get the soldiers defending the city to open the gates. After he entered the city, he knocked on the gate of the county government overnight. The county magistrate of Xiashu Town is a thin middle-aged man named Wang Xun, who is from a local noble family in Xiashu Town and has great prestige.

Wang Xun looked at the dusty soldiers and asked, "Who are you, and what is the matter with looking for this officer?" ”

The soldier took out the letter from his bosom, handed it to Wang Xun, and said, "Your Excellency will know when you see it. ”

Wang Xun opened the letter and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. He read less than half of it, the letter in his hand fell, and asked, "Is the news accurate?" Wang Xun's face also changed drastically, and he was very worried about the situation in Longtan Town.

The soldier said in a deep voice: "The news was brought back by Xiao Wangniang, and it is absolutely correct. ”

Wang Xun put down the letter paper and said, "Wait a while, this official will immediately gather soldiers to go to Longtan Town with you." Immediately, Wang Xun immediately issued an order and ordered the guards of Xia Shu Town to gather soldiers. The master of the county government got the news, came to the county office, and asked, "My lord, what happened and how did you mobilize the army overnight." ”

Wang Xun said: "The thief Li Zhen led the army to Longtan Town, and Xiao Wangniang has already presided over the overall situation in Longtan Town. Now Longtan Town is in danger, and troops must be dispatched to rescue, otherwise Xiao Wangniang will be on a business trip, and the official will not be able to escape responsibility. ”

The master frowned and said, "All the troops are transferred to Longtan Town, what should I do with Xia Shu Town?" ”

Wang Xun sighed and said, "With Longtan Town in the way, we are not in a hurry. If Longtan Town can't stop it, we can only stare dryly. Okay, that's it. ”

The master sighed, with a helpless expression.

The defenders of Xiashu Town set off overnight and rushed towards Longtan Town.

……

Dongyang Town is located behind Longtan Town and Xiashu Town, and will not be attacked for the time being.

When the soldiers arrived in Dongyang Town, it was already early the next morning.

The soldiers entered the city and went straight to the county office. He took the letter of the county order of Longtan Town, and soon entered the county office and saw the county order of Dongyang Town. The county magistrate of Dongyang Town is named Zhao Zhiyong, an old man over fifty years old. He got a letter asking for help, and he didn't want to send troops, but Hong Xuanjiao was in Longtan Town, and Zhao Zhiyong could only agree to send troops to help.

However, Zhao Zhiyong left a thousand soldiers to stay in Dongyang Town to ensure his safety.

……

The news that Li Zhen was about to attack Longtan Town came out, and the town was already under martial law.

Checkpoints were set up at the gates of the city to check every citizen who entered the city. Not only that, but also temporarily implemented the order that no entry is allowed but no exit. At the same time, the castle tower was also full of soldiers guarding the town, and they were on guard. During this period of time, the spirit of the county commander of Longtan Town was highly tense, for fear that the soldiers of the other two towns would be attacked before they arrived.

However, his worries were unwarranted after all.

The armies of Xiashu Town and Dongyang Town arrived first and entered the city. Xiashu Town sent a total of 4,000 soldiers, and Dongyang Town sent 3,000 soldiers, a total of 7,000 soldiers. In addition, Longtan Town still has 4,000 soldiers left behind, which is already tens of thousands of troops. The county commander finally breathed a sigh of relief with so many troops.
