With the departure of Niu Fu and the people in Changzi County, the tense atmosphere was instantly relaxed, and many officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, you must know that this period of time is eventful, and there are hundreds of civil officials who died unexpectedly, and the affairs of Yanmen County are still vivid, and there are many people who were beheaded and hung in the county government by Gao Lan, no one spares their lives, and it is always beautiful to be alive.

As soon as Niu Fu left, the order in the city gradually recovered, Shangdang County is a place where soldiers must fight, over the years, there are often foreign enemies to invade, the eldest son county is the county is even more disturbed by war, in recent years under the governance of Dou Yun, the fighting is gradually reduced, the people are Si'an, some young people are not in the army or at home at ease to cultivate, everything is much more orderly, unlike the Yellow Turban Rebellion in previous years, the people of the entire Shangdang County have gone to some rich states and counties, since the death of Ding Yuan, and the state will not have a day of peace, if it is not for Yuan Shang's sudden rise, I'm afraid that these people are still in dire straits.

The middle door of the county mansion was wide open, and the enemy army left, Dou Yun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he also had a lot of freedom in his heart, so he invited the generals who defended the city at the banquet in the mansion, especially Gan Ning, and was also listed as a guest.

Dou Yun is the Taishou, and he is the person with the highest status among the people, Guo Miao is just an accompaniment, and he sits at the top of the guest seat, and the next line is a few non-commissioned officers who are powerful in this battle.

Gan Ning sat alone, several brothers lined up, as for Guo Zhun, he sat down below Guo Miao, and the father and son sat with Gan Ning head-on, but they also talked happily.

The sound of wine bottles falling. More than a dozen people, including Dou Yun, drank the wine one after another. Wine is a special offering. Brewed by the craftsman Du Xu, it is Yuan Shang's special welfare for those generals and officials who work hard for him, ordinary people want to drink this kind of wine without a very hard relationship really has no chance, Dou Yun is a county guard, equal to the general, so every month can also get some equal amount of special wine, on weekdays, it is rare to take it out and share it with others. I was in a good mood today, and I specially ordered someone to carry it out of the cellar, the amount was not much, and each person poured a bottle and the bottom was empty, which made everyone present have some unfinished regrets.

"Good wine." Gan Ning shook his head a little intoxicated, after drinking the fine wine made by Du Xu, as long as he was a lover of wine, he was very sorry, but he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to drink such a fine wine again in the future and felt melancholy.

"Such a good wine, when is there in life. I'm afraid that the so-called fine wine drunk by the princes of the court is nothing more than that. Guo Miao was also a little unsatisfied, as a lieutenant. Guo Miao can get a jar of special wine every month, a jar is only a few catties, how can he drink, he tastes a small glass on weekdays, how can he drink as easily as drinking boiling water.

Among the people present, only Dou Yun and Guo Miao are eligible to get the special wine, and the rest, including Gan Ning, are drinking it for the first time, Guo Zhun is okay, occasionally stealing a little, and it can be regarded as a taste, but most of the non-commissioned officers rarely have the opportunity to drink, Yuan Shang usually rewards the soldiers but not Du Xu himself, but some of Du Xu's disciples and grandchildren concocted, although the taste is acceptable, but compared to Du Xu's own brewing, it is also a few degrees worse, this kind of special wine, irrelevant aspects are only for the generals above the captain, As a modern person, Yuan Shang knows best the truth that things are rare and expensive, and he is well versed in the essence of speculation. It also made Yuan Shang see the business opportunities, and since then, the wine industry has also been regarded as a relatively rich economic source for the state.

The first time Gan Ning came to Bingzhou, he was not very clear about the source of the special wine, but he also knew that this kind of good wine must be precious and abnormal, ordinary people may not have smelled it, and today I was fortunate to taste a bottle, and my heart was naturally very happy.

After drinking, Dou Yun, as the initiator of the banquet, naturally would not just stare at everyone silently, stroke his sleeves, and then smiled: "Now that the enemy army has retreated, the crisis in the eldest son city has been lifted for the time being, but if the enemy army is still wandering in Shangdang County and even Bingzhou, it will also have a great impact on the lives of the people of our Bingzhou, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Everyone in the hall, put down the wine bottle, the brows are all frowned, Dou Yun said, it is indeed a big difficulty, now in the territory of the state, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are not many veterans, all of them are mainly service soldiers who have not been on the battlefield, if you meet the Xiliang Army again, such as the world's first-class strong army, without the old soldier as a sharp arrow, how can you be able to survive, this is also the reason why the princes dare to send troops and horses to invade the state, if on weekdays, there are 80,000 tigers and wolves in charge, even if Dong Zhuo personally led 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to come, he has to weigh whether he can retreat with his whole body, On the contrary, now the state is empty, but it has given those princes the courage, and they have sent powerful generals to pour in, regard the counties and passes of the state as nothing, and the provocation has not been concealed at all, such as Niu Fu, slaughtering several cities and villages, arrogant to the extreme, although everyone is angry in their hearts, but they can only helplessly stick to the city, after all, there are too few soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness is limited, and it is really aggrieved.

Dou Yun's eyes swept slightly, seeing that everyone frowned but didn't say a word, he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also knew the thoughts of everyone, without the backing of soldiers and horses, even if there was a way, it would be difficult to eradicate the enemy's invasion of the state, which was really resentful and helpless.

"Nowadays, there are more than 3,000 veterans in the cities of Shangdang County, 8,000 soldiers, a total of more than 11,000 soldiers, in addition to the normal needs of defending the city, you can also draw out 5,000 troops, the weapons are still a little thin, and it is still a little difficult to take the initiative to pursue the enemy, so the last general still recommends sticking to the counties and waiting for the lord's help as the best policy."

Unlike Dou Yun, Guo Miao knows more clearly the cruelty of the Dao war, 5,000 soldiers and horses, in terms of numbers, only compared with Niu Fu's Daben battalion, it will fall behind, and the veterans who can be drawn out are at most 2,000 people, supplemented by 3,000 service soldiers, if you are fighting to the death, you can also do it, but, in the territory of Bingzhou, there is definitely not only the Xiliang army, but also the men and horses of several other princes, 5,000 people have fought out, and the remaining 6,000 people, defending the city are a little difficult, and how to resist the enemy army from other roads, these are all real problemsShangdang County is a large county, and there are many cities, so the demand for troops is greater, and 6,000 people have to hold on to more than ten or twenty cities, how can they be? The enemy army is in the dark, I am in the light, a living target, in addition to holding on, if you want to go out of the city to fight, unless the situation has been forced to do so, there is only a dead end.

Gan Ning is also silent, stubbornly different from the main attack, if there is no concern, he can lead a group of people to attack non-stop, keep sneaking up on the opponent, but defending the city is different, the enemy is in the dark, the initiative is in the hands of others, the defender can only passively counterattack, it is a little aggrieved, but it is the most helpless status quo in the state, and the tiger wolf in the state is famous for its good attack, but now it can only be forced to defend the city and can not come out, it is really a little helpless.

Guo Miao's words fell, the atmosphere present was instantly suffocated, and more than a dozen young non-commissioned officers suddenly felt that the wine in their mouths had become tasteless, and the fragrant lamb leg beef on the table was no longer touched.

Lack of soldiers and horses, this extremely serious problem has always been a boulder in the hearts of everyone, Zhang He sits in Jinyang, the troops at hand are not abundant, as for the move, it is even more immobile, at the beginning of the month, the ambitious guy in Xianbei Mountain is ready to move again, Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County have found traces of Xiangma, that group of Xianbei people, under the leadership of Tanshi Huai, has been unwilling to give up the delusion of rebuilding the royal court, trying to take advantage of the emptiness of the state to occupy Yunzhong and Dingxiang County, In order to achieve the radiation of Youzhou Daijun and recapture Danhan Mountain, because of this, the wolf smoke of the various armies in Ren and Zhou, and the move of Dingxiang in the radiation clouds of Shuofang has always been a cold bystander, but he has never sent troops out, and the worry is that the Xianbei people take the opportunity to enter.

"I can't mobilize troops and horses everywhere, and I can't do anything except wait for reinforcements, which is really infuriating." A non-commissioned officer, who was in his early twenties, grabbed his hair in some pain and said with some annoyance.

Dou Yun shook his head, although this is a fact, he still comforted: "You don't need to be pessimistic, according to the news from the front, the lord and the generals have almost digested the counties of Youzhou, just wait for the trivial matters to be cleared, and they will definitely rush to the rear in time. ”

"What the envoy said is very true, you and I are aggrieved today, and we will get it back in the future, you only need to defend your homeland without losing, and in the future, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, do your job well, eat and sleep well, keep your spare strength, and wait for the return of the main force of our army, so as to cut off a few heads of the enemy in exchange for wine." Guo Miao also said comfortingly, this group of non-commissioned officers is not very old, and they are born in the army with a straightforward temperament, if they suppress themselves too much, it will affect their morale, even if they are afraid, if they are suppressed for too long, it will hurt the psychology of the soldiers, and the low-level generals are still like this, it is conceivable that the ordinary soldiers below are even more aggrieved.

Gan Ning and more than a dozen old brothers just listened, and now, he has not yet had an official and a half-position, nor has he completely integrated into the state system, but he can't talk about suppression, just listen attentively, and also don't comment on the plight of Shangdang County and even the current situation of the entire state, listen quietly, and don't say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little silent, but at this moment, a hurried footstep sounded, whispering a few words in Dou Yun's ear, but seeing Dou Yun's face change instantly like a haze, he waved his hand and let the little official retreat, and Guo Miao made a look, and the two left in a hurry.
