In the other gate of Xinye City, the city gate captain was almost scared to death, because suddenly there were a lot of soldiers and horses outside Xinye who didn't know where to go, and those soldiers and horses came madly towards Xinye City, but the city gate captain failed to close the city gate in time.

He originally thought that he might be finished like this, and let the soldiers and horses who didn't know where to rush into Xinye City, which can be regarded as dereliction of duty, and it is the result of going to the guillotine.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" This city gate captain can be regarded as a disillusionment. This Xinye is on the border of Jingzhou, and it can even be strictly said that this is the territory of Jingzhou, but it was just given to Liu Mang, the king of Shu, and exchanged Nanyang for Xinye, Xinye's defense was still okay, but because the Yangzhou Navy on the Yangtze River fought a big victory, this will become like this. Could it be the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou?

"Captain, Captain, don't panic, don't panic!" Someone on the side reminded that "this is not an enemy army, this is not an enemy army!" ”

"Not an enemy army?"

"Yes, you see those soldiers and horses are flying our banners, and they are also our black uniforms." The soldier on the side said to the captain of the city gate.

"Our soldiers?" The captain of the city gate saw the flag of Yangzhou over there and the black armor, which was really all the clothes of Yangzhou's soldiers and horses, and even the captain of the city gate could see that these were not the defenders of Xinye. The Captain of the City Gate was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he became nervous again.

"Oh no, no, woe, woe!" Suddenly, a rout rushed into the city and shouted loudly, and this group of soldiers and horses poured into Xinye City, and it was immediately an uproar, because those accents and clothes were not the original defenders of Xinye City.

What the hell is going on. It was a rout that appeared in the new field.

"Outcasts. The homeless people rioted. It's rioting! The captain of the city gate immediately grabbed a rout, and learned such a question and answer from the mouth of the rout.

"Displaced people's riots?" The captain of the city gate was stunned for a moment, and then a cold sweat came down, Xinye has taken in a lot of displaced people over the years, because of Yangzhou's fertile land policy, coupled with the annual conquest of many places of displaced people have all emerged here, and the people who attacked Yuzhou Liu Bei migrated from Yuzhou have also settled in Xinye a lot, and it can be said that the number of displaced people in Xinye is almost 100,000 counts, if the displaced people riot. This is really a disaster.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go to the camp to find General Guo and tell him about such a thing!" The city gate lieutenant ordered his subordinates that Guo Yi was the city gate captain of Xinye, so immediately the city gate captain thought about going to Guo Yi.

"Yes!" The soldier on the side nodded and left, but soon returned.

"What did General Guo Yi say?" The Captain of the City Gate asked. He now desperately needed a backbone to tell him what to do next, he was just a grassroots official, only in charge of the part of the city wall.

"Guo, General Guo Yi is not in the camp." The soldier said breathlessly.

"Not in the big camp? Can you go to Guo's mansion for questioning? The Captain of the City Gate asked. Maybe Guo Yi is in the Guo family's mansion.

"No, you don't need to go to the captain, these routs were brought out by General Guo Yi." The soldier said to the captain of the city gate.

"What? These defeated soldiers are General Guo Yi's soldiers and horses? What about General Guo Yi? ”

"Maybe, maybe it's no longer in the military formation!"

"Hurry up and go to the Taishou Mansion to find the Taishou-sama." The top boss of the city gate captain is gone. Then he can only go up to find someone, and he doesn't go directly to Taishou. That's because it's taboo to go beyond the boss to find a superior, who likes a subordinate who reports to his superiors through himself.

Soon the guards came over again and informed, "Returning to the captain, Taishou, Lord Taishou is not in the Taishou Mansion!" ”

"What about people?" The captain of the city gate was a little stunned, and the captain of the city gate was a little dumbfounded, this is looking for his boss Guo Yi, the captain of the city gate, is not there, and he may not be in the army, and now he is looking for his boss's boss Xinye Taishou Liu Qi He is not there.

"Do you ever know where Taishou-sama has gone!?" The city gate commander was in a hurry.

"The housekeeper in the Taishou Mansion said that Lord Taishou had gone to live in the country house a few months ago. It is said to avoid suspicion. The soldier replied to the city gate.

"Avoiding suspicion?" The Captain of the City Gate raised an eyebrow.

"Captain, our Taishou, he used to be the eldest prince over there." This soldier pointed to the guide, and this lieutenant understood a little bit, one of his identities is an official in Yangzhou, a courtier of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, and another identity is the eldest son of Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou.

In the past, when Yangzhou and Jingzhou were allies, it was natural that Liu Qi could govern for the people in Xinye with peace of mind, you must know that Liu Qi has a set of rules for governing the people, but after Jingzhou and Yangzhou fell out, this Liu Qi's identity was embarrassing, he was the courtier of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, Jingzhou was his father's territory, this is simply not a person inside and outside, it is not good for him to help Yangzhou, it is not filial piety, it is not good to help Jingzhou, it is disloyal, so Liu Qi is very simple, I will not stay with you anymore, I will directly avoid suspicion, I hung up the seal and went to the countryside to find a small house to take care of myself.

"Hurry up and inform the other city gate captains to come and discuss the matter together." The captain of the city gate thought that the other captains of the city gate would discuss it together, and the dragons could not be without a leader, they had to discuss a countermeasure, so they could come up with an idea among themselves.

"Captain, you don't have to go! The captains, Hao Duwei, Chengdu Lieutenants, and Han Duwei all went out with General Guo Yi. The soldier looked at his lieutenant while talking, this look is a little complicated, and there is also a sigh in it and there is a lucky ingredient in it, this lieutenant's surname is Yang, his name is Yang Chao, he is the captain of the north gate, he was not called by Guo Yi, that is because this Yang Chao and Guo Yi are not all the way, this person is called steel if he says it well, and if he doesn't say it well, it is called unsociable, he Yang Chao doesn't want to be in the same stream with those Guo Yi and others, so he Yang Chao is very unsociable and was kicked out by Guo Yi and others. The other city gate captains can be said to be very rich, but he, Yang Chao, is bitter and lives on a little bit of money in his hand. This time, Guo Yi also did not call Yang Chao. That's why it's only now. Xinye was surrounded by city gates, and the three city gates were all captains and Guo Yi were lost in the army. Only he, Yang Chao, stayed alone in Xinye City.

"General, the biggest official position in Shinno City is likely to be you!" The soldier on the side added.

"W-what's this thing called!" Yang Chao also smiled bitterly, of course, Xinye is a county town, and there are many officials in it who are bigger than Yang Chao, but those are all civil servants or those officials and businessmen who belong to the Yangzhou Ministry of Commerce, they can't manage the military, and it doesn't have any role for them to come. So in the end, the biggest military commander in a huge city in Xinye became a small captain.

"Captain, that's all there is to it now! If this new no castle is lost, even if you have ten heads, it won't be enough to kill! "Xinye City is lost, the next one in Xinye can't escape, Liu Qi is going to be unlucky, Guo Yi has disappeared in the chaos, and the other captains are not there, so the next unlucky one is him, the captain.

"That's all there is to it!" Yang Chao smiled bitterly and asked him to arrange it, he first had to know how many soldiers and horses could be deployed in Xinye. It is also necessary to know how much armor Xinye has, so that he Yang Chao can do much of it.

"There are only less than 2,000 defenders in the general's city." Among the military supplies sent from the various city gates on the side, there were less than 2,000 people in the four city gates.

"Two thousand?" Yang Chao's eyes widened, "Are you sure you're not counting wrong?" "Yang Chao himself still has 1,500 people under his command. This is one city gate, and the other gates add up to only 2,000 people? Are you kidding? Could it be that there were only 500 people at the other three gates?

"Captain, one hundred and fifty-two people at the south gate, one hundred people at the west gate, and ninety-eight people at the east gate! There were three hundred and fifty in all. ”

Well, the three gates add up to even five hundred, which is an overestimation of them.

"What about people? Where did the people go? "Yang Chao was about to roar, suddenly there was a rebellion, suddenly there was a riot of the homeless, he Yang Chao didn't have much to react to, now there is not even a city defender here.

"Captain, these, these may be related to General Guo Yi!" A soldier reminded from the side.

"Guo Yi?" Yang Chao reacted only after listening to the reminder of this military candidate, he also knew that Guo Yi was eating empty salary,

The most basic of the four city gates in Xinye is the arrangement of 2,000 soldiers and horses, which means that there should be a total of 8,000 defenders in Xinye.

The original north gate is the gateway of Xinye, so there are 5,000 people stationed in the north gate, and now because Xinye has changed the owner, from the former barrier in the north of Jingzhou, it has become the barrier of Yangzhou to the south of Jingzhou, so a large number of soldiers and horses have been transferred from the north gate to enrich the south gate.

There are 5,000 people stationed in the south gate, and 1,500 people each in the other three gates, although Guo Yi brought out a lot of soldiers and horses, but you shouldn't have less than 500 people in the three city gates, you must know that this is Xinye, the opposite side of the Yangtze River is Jingzhou, even if there are General Hao Shao's soldiers and horses stationed on the Yangtze River, you can't play like this.

These 8,000 soldiers and horses can have three or four thousand foundations, and they have eaten almost ordinary empty salaries, Yang Chao doesn't know what to say about this Guo Yi.

"Where's rations and other ordnance?" Yang Chao continued to ask.

"There is no shortage of these new wild cities, Captain." Military rations and ordnance, as long as the defenders of the city are naturally distributed in the city, and two thousand people will not be able to eat much food.

"Report, report to the captain, the homeless, the homeless people have come to Xinye City!" Someone over there reported to Yang Chao.

'How many homeless people are there, and how far is it from my new wild city?' “

"Ten miles at most! The number of people can't be seen clearly, anyway, it's a lot! ”

"Pass my military order, close the city gates, and prepare for battle!" Yang Chao issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Captain, can we win?" The soldiers on the side were puzzled.

Yang Chao did not directly answer the question of the military candidate, but asked rhetorically: "Do we have any other choice?" "The military is silent, they are now a family all in Xinye City, once Xinye City is broken by the displaced people, then they have all seen what Xinye City will become, and the pain of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is still engraved in the hearts of many people.

"Send someone to the water army camp immediately, and let General Hao Shao send troops to rescue us." Yang Chao prepared with two hands, one was to ask for reinforcements, and the second was to hold on.

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Yang Chao waved his hand. "Go on my warhorse." Yang Chao said to the scouts under his hand, although Yang Chao's war horse was a good horse, it was an old horse. Even so, it cost Yang half of his savings. On weekdays, Yang Chao is reluctant to ride at all. I can't wait for the horse to ride him, and now he actually takes it out for his subordinates to ride, which shows that the tense is already very strict.

……

"There was a riot of displaced people?" Hao Shao recast a large camp dozens of miles away from Xinye's flank, this camp was backed by the Yangtze River, and after Liu Mang, the king of Shu, taught Hao Shao and other places in Xinye, Hao Shao made full use of the terrain between Xinye.

The terrain of Xinye Castle is flat, all plains, and once the enemy lands on the edge of the Yangtze River. There will be no danger to defend Shinno Castle.

And Xinye used to be used to defend against the north, so it was completely easy to attack and difficult to defend for the gap in the south.

Therefore, Hao Shao will place a large camp on the side of the Yangtze River, one of which can patrol the Yangtze River and send scouts to inspect in case the Jingzhou naval army suddenly lands on the Yangtze River, and the other is to prepare that if Jingzhou's soldiers and horses really want to attack Xinye, he Hao Shao can also attack half-crossing, the Yangtze River is a moat for Jingzhou to resist the invasion of the north into the south of the Yangtze River, but also for the north, the Yangtze River is also a barrier for the south to invade the Central Plains.

With such a good resource, why not take advantage of him. Hao Shao said he would do it, after transferring countless grains, grasses and lime wood from Shouchun. This large-scale building on the edge of the Yangtze River came out.

There were less than 10,000 horses in the entire Yangtze River garrison camp, but Hao Shao was confident that he could stop the enemy from coming from Jingzhou.

Hao Shao is studying military affairs in the army, and now suddenly a scout ran over to Hao Shao for help, this script is not right, you must know that he Hao Shao is the vanguard of Yangzhou and Jingzhou is the front line, and the request for help should be Hao Shao's inability to hold on to Jingzhou's attack and ask for help in the direction of Xinye, Zaoyang, and Yiyang, but now it has been reversed.

After the scout's explanation, Hao Shao knew that this was a riot of the homeless people, and there was chaos from within Xinye.

"Aren't there 8,000 soldiers and horses in Xinye City? Even if there are 100,000 displaced people, they can snuggle up to the city wall in the new field to repel the enemy. The deputy general on the side spoke, although the homeless riot is a headache, but there is no way, the most feared by the homeless is the siege war, they have no ordnance, no sharp swords in their hands, no armor and shields, what they are afraid of is the siege, as long as they hold the four gates of the city, it is naturally unhindered, and the Yellow Turban Army has also changed from small to large from thousands to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and this is how to take several cities of the Han Dynasty, but it ends here. The 8,000 soldiers and horses in Xinye City were enough to resist for a while, so how could they immediately send people out to ask for help.

"Why is it that a lieutenant came to report?! What about you Shinno Taishou? The adjutant said that this was not a trap.

"General, our Taishou has not been seen for months." The scout replied.

Hao Shao nodded, he knew about Liu Qi's suspicion, and even Liu Qi informed Hao Shao, Hao Shao also wrote to Shouchun, and Shouchun's military advisor also commented on Liu Qi, waiting for the matter in Jingzhou to be resolved before choosing to go out or something else, and the personnel of Xinye Taishou also arranged the process, but there has been no suitable talent. This made the official position of Taishou vacant in the new field.

"And what about the garrison captain?" It stands to reason that it is also a matter for the garrison captain, not a lieutenant who can decide.

"Our General Guo Yi is also gone." Yang Chao didn't say that Guo Yi was no longer in the army, for fear of affecting morale, so he only said that General Guo was gone.

The garrison lieutenant also disappeared? What is this new wild playing? Hao Shao frowned

"You go down first, I will go to the book Shouchun with the general and others, and ask for troops." Hao Shao's lieutenant said to the scout, although Hao Shao has the right to mobilize troops and horses in Xinye, but that is also to guard against Jingzhou, not to transfer troops and horses to Xinye to help, you must know that Hao Shao has a total of less than 10,000 horses in his hands, if he goes to Xinye, who will guard the Yangtze River, Xinye City has 8,000 defenders enough.

"General, please send troops to Xinye quickly, our city, there are no eight thousand defenders in our city at all, only two thousand, less than two thousand, general!" The scout shouted loudly at Hao Shao, and the number of defenders in Xinye City could still be seen.

Two thousand soldiers and horses are divided into four gates, and one gate is five hundred people, if it is a small county town, then it is absolutely enough, but this is a county town, and five hundred people can't see clearly on the city wall.

"Two thousand? What's going on? "Hao Shao and the deputy general also ate a pound, what are two thousand soldiers and horses doing. Xinye's standard configuration is 8,000 soldiers and horses, and it can even be expanded to 15,000 people, and Liu Biao's garrison in Xinye had more than 10,000 horses.

Only then did the scout tell me about the empty salary in Xinye Castle.

"How can it be?" Hao Shao was so angry that he shot the case, and even ate empty pay and drank the blood of the soldiers, which was the most intolerable for the generals, especially Hao Shao, a general who came out of the grassroots, knew the warmth and coldness of the soldiers, and the eight thousand soldiers and horses shrank by three-quarters, and this soldiers and horses could eat enough. Hao Shao was about to ask Guo Yi, the captain of the Xinye garrison, but only then did he think that Guo Yi had disappeared a long time ago.

"Pass my military order, and you can send troops to Xinye to quell the chaos!" Hao Shao stood up, without further ado, they should make a decision as soon as possible, they are going to Xinye to help the Xinye defenders calm the war.

"General, if you go to Xinye, what should you do with this Yangtze River camp!" Hao Shao's lieutenant on the side asked suspiciously. The Yangtze River Water Army camp is guarding against the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, if you are deployed, how can the Jingzhou army have a move.

"I'll only take five thousand men with me!" Hao Shao said to the deputy general: "The remaining 5,000 men and horses will be taught to you, stay in the Yangtze River camp and guard against the Jingzhou naval army!" “

"The general's 5,000 men are overstretched!" The adjutant general comforted Hao Shao, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to quell the chaos or guard against the Jingzhou army. Originally, 10,000 soldiers and horses could be discharged from the Yangtze River water military camp to monitor the Jingzhou army's crossing of the river, and they could attack halfway, but now 5,000 soldiers and horses can only stay in the Yangtze River water military camp and wait for the enemy to attack.

"Give me 800 miles to expedit, send me down the Yangtze River to Shouchun in Lujiang, give me like a military advisor and ask for reinforcements, I will first take 5,000 men and horses to contact the siege of Xinye." Hao Shao compromised, 5,000 men and horses stayed in the Yangtze River camp to guard against Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and 5,000 men and horses went to relieve the siege of Xinye first, and then asked for reinforcements towards Shouchun Lujiang, so that they could send soldiers and horses to quell the chaos. After that, Hao Shao took his soldiers and horses back to the Yangtze River Water Army.

"That's all there is to it!" Soon the 800-mile expedited mail from the Yangtze River camp was delivered.

It was only a day's work to cross the Lujiang River along the Yangtze River, and the whole Yangzhou knew about the riots of the displaced people in Xinye. Lu Bu immediately transferred the wolf cavalry to prepare for suppression, and a bloody storm was inevitable. (To be continued......)
