After more than two months of repairs, today's Xi'an Ping County has been very different from before, after the cement reinforcement, the city wall appears taller and stronger.

Whether it was repairing the city wall or recruiting soldiers, it attracted a large number of displaced people to come to Xi'an Ping County. Now there are 30,000 people gathered in Xi'an Ping County, a large number of Liaodi Jin people choose to settle here in order to make a living, and the people of Daifang and Lelang two counties have fled thousands of miles here.

In the county office, Wei Shuo, Wei Shixiake, Feng Yi and others gathered together to discuss the current military situation. Unexpectedly, the connection between the belt side and Liaodi was suddenly cut off.

Wei Shuo asked anxiously, "Haven't the scouts we sent to Lelang County to contact Lord Zhang Tong have returned yet?" ”

Seeing that Wei Shuo was in a hurry, Mr. Liu hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the lord is in a hurry, presumably the scout is on his way back, we might as well stay for a few more days." ”

"How can I not be in a hurry? Now that the war is imminent, we have lost touch with our allies? If you can't contact Lord Zhang, how can Liaodong, Belt Fang, and Lelang cooperate against the enemy? ”

"My lord, in my opinion, I'm afraid that something is not good, and it is very likely that the Goguryeo people have cut off our connection with Lord Zhang. Since the land roads are not passable, we might as well find a way from the sea! Feng Yi thought that this was a precursor to the invasion of Goguryeo, and at this time, I was afraid that the two counties of Daifang and Lelang had already smoked.

Wei Shuo looked worried, and sighed: "I'm afraid that Lord Zhang's situation is not good!" Lord Yu, here you know the most about the situation of Obifang and Lelang, do you think Lord Zhang can stop the attack of the Goguryeos? ”

The Xiake of the Qi clan pondered for a while and said, "Lord Qiqi, in the opinion of the following officials, I am afraid that I am not too optimistic!" The two counties of Daifang and Lelang have always been remote, with only 8,500 households and a total population of less than 50,000. And Master Zhang's subordinates only have a total of 2,000 people, but they have to take care of a territory as big as a Liaodong County, I think it's suspenseful! ”

"Don't talk about this point of strength to fight in the city, even if you defend the city, it's not enough! There are millions of people in Goguryeo, and at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be sent south to fight. ”

After listening to the words of the Xiake, Feng Yi, Mr. Liu and others looked worried. Just when everyone was helpless, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and a guard hurriedly broke into the conference hall with a bloody urgent letter.

"My lord, take Fang, Lelang urgently!"

"What!"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the urgent item in the guard's hand, and saw that it was written: "Belt Fang, Lelang Shou General Tong Chi told the Quartet: In late March, the barbarian Goguryeo Kingdom will send 50,000 troops into Kou I will take Fang and Lelang two counties!" The unification felt that the troops were weak and could not protect the territory and the people, so he asked for help from all directions! I hope that the neighboring counties will hear about it and send troops to help quickly! ”

"As we expected, Goguryeo really sent 50,000 troops into the two counties of Koudaifang and Lelang, so it seems that the Goguryeo people blocked our contact with Liaodi. After all, relying only on the strength of the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, they could not compete with the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo people cut off the connection between Liao and the Belt Party because they were afraid that we would come to the aid of the Belt Party. ”

"It's a pity that the Goguryeo people still underestimate us, but they don't know that today's Xi'an Ping is no longer the original Xi'an Ping, and we have the help of Laoshan Shui Shi, and we can help Lord Zhang by sea. And don't forget, we still have 3,000 elite cavalry in our hands, and although we can't attack the enemy head-on, we can also carry out sabotage battles deep behind enemy lines. ”

"Lord, there is no need to be busy carrying out the raid now, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to help Lord Zhang with the party as much as possible, only if Lord Zhang can persevere, our attack will be meaningful!" Feng Yi solemnly suggested.

"Well, Zizhuan's words are reasonable, and I will order: From now on, the Laoshan Landscape Master will immediately go to Daifang and Lelang, and first deliver two thousand stone of grain and a batch of paper armor ordnance to Lord Zhang."

Wei Shuo felt that Feng Yi's suggestion was very good, once the belt and Lelang fell, the harassment of the cavalry behind the enemy would lose any meaning. Moreover, without the containment of the belt and Lelang, the Goguryeo army will definitely move westward into Liaodong, and at that time, Xi'anping, as the gateway to the east of Liaodong, will face great pressure.

Just as Wei Shuo and others were preparing to go all out to aid Obifang and Lelang, Zhang Tong, the commander of the two counties, was also anxious about the invasion of Goguryeo. Zhang Tong has been guarding the two places for many years, and it is precisely because of his protection that the people of the two places have been able to live and work in peace and contentment for many years, so Zhang Tong has a high prestige among the people of the two places.

However, since Yongjia, the Jin dynasty has declined, and the barbarian Hu tribes in various places have raised troops to invade the territory. Even the small barbarian states such as Goguryeo and Baekje, which were quite deferential before, became ready to move, and they were eyeing the two counties of Obifang and Lelang. Recently, he has frequently sent troops to invade the two counties, but they have been defeated by Zhang Tong every time.

The most important reason why Zhang Tong was able to successfully defeat the invading Goguryeo people before was that the number of invading Goguryeo troops was small, no more than a few thousand at a time, and it was obvious that this was just a tentative move by the Goguryeo people in order to annex the two counties of Obifang and Lelang.

This year, in the face of the menacing 50,000 Goguryeo army, Zhang Tong was completely numb. He knew that he could not fight against the powerful Goguryeo on his own strength, so as soon as the military situation came, he sent several groups of envoys to various parts of Liaodong to ask for help.

"My lord, will Cui Tingshi and Lord Feng send troops to rescue us?" Ichisho asked worriedly.

Zhang Tong pretended to be relaxed and said: "As long as Cui and Feng receive an urgent report, they will definitely raise a large army to help!" Cui Tingshi is the brother-in-law of Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, as long as he speaks, he will not easily refuse. Wang Thorn Shi has Xianbei cavalry as backup, if he can send troops, we will be saved! ”

It seems that Zhang Tong also knows that Pingzhou has greatly reduced its strength due to the rebellion of the Xianbei people, and he is unable to rescue the two counties of Daifang and Lelang, and the only one who really has the strength and ability to rescue them is Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, but is Wang Jun willing to send troops?

Xiangping City, in late March of the sixth year of Yongjia, in the Pingzhou Thorn Mansion, Cui Yu looked at Zhang Tong's letter of help, and threw it aside with a cold snort. For such a trivial matter as the loss of the two remote counties of Daifang and Lelang, Cui Yu will not take it to heart at all.

At present, Cui Yu and Wang Jun are most concerned about the handover of the next Dongyi lieutenant, since February, Dongyi lieutenant Feng Feng was released due to his advanced age, unfortunately contracted a cold and fell ill on the bed, and is no longer able to serve as a director. Cui Yu and Wang Jun have long coveted the position of Dongyi Lieutenant, but now that the opportunity has come, how can they give up?

As for Goguryeo's large-scale invasion of the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, in their eyes, it is just a trivial matter! So don't talk about Wang Jun, even Cui Yu never considered the rescue!

Feng Yi is seriously ill and Cui Yu is indifferent, so far, the foreign aid that Zhang Tong has high hopes for is completely gone!

But Zhang Tong, who was far away in the belt and Lelang, didn't know anything about it, and he was still looking forward to the Liaodong reinforcements to save him with hope. Recently, due to the strength of the enemy's army, Zhang Tong had no choice but to shrink his forces and move a large number of people to the Korean city with high walls, relying on only 2,000 men and horses to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Although Zhang Tong's tactics of clearing the wilderness saved a large number of people, it also gave the enemy a chance to drive straight in. The 50,000 Goguryeo army divided the road, attacked the city all the way, and occupied most of the two counties of Lelang and Obifang very smoothly.

However, although the Goguryeo army occupied a large area of land, it also dispersed their forces. In order to garrison Lelang, lead all parts of the country, and guard against Liaodong reinforcements, Goguryeo left a full 30,000 troops in other places, so that there were still 20,000 horses left to attack Joseon.

In the past two days, as the Goguryeo army came to the city, the atmosphere in the Korean city became increasingly tense. In order to strengthen the defense of the city, Zhang Tong organized all the five thousand young men in the city, although the young men lacked training and had low combat effectiveness, but now the situation can not be taken care of so much.

With 5,000 young men and 2,000 defenders, it seems that nearly 10,000 people are involved in defending the city, but Zhang Fang is still worried. Not to mention the lack of training of the young people, even the weapons cannot be matched. Now there are only about 4,000 pairs of swords and guns and 1,000 pairs of bows and arrows in the city, and there are only more than 10,000 arrows, and I am afraid that they will be exhausted after a big battle.

In the face of internal and external troubles, Zhang Tong was full of sorrow and pinned all his hopes on the reinforcements that were still nowhere to be found......
