Shen Xiyi was captured, the Southern Route Army was completely defeated, and the whereabouts of the 5,000 Golden Bull Guards were unknown......

When he saw the news, even Duan Fei's face changed, the current situation was too unexpected, even Duan Fei, who was vaguely uneasy, didn't expect Shen Xiyi to be defeated so badly, the rebel army was all arrested by the rebels, this time it was really miserable.

What's even worse is that even Zhu Qi lost confidence, and the mess all fell into Duan Fei's hands......

Duan Fei immediately convened an emergency meeting, after Duan Fei announced the news, everyone's faces were like dirt, the situation was really bad, whether Liuzhou could keep it became a big question, and many people began to think about themselves.

Duan Fei had already digested the news, so he seemed to be the calmest, he glanced at everyone lightly, and ordered: "This news has not spread yet, everyone here must strictly guard their tone, and must not reveal half a cent out, otherwise they will not be spared, Jiao Yang, send a few spies out to verify the news, find the missing Taurus, and guide the defeated soldiers back to Liuzhou, the guests can't stand it." ”

Jiao Yang was worried about his brother's safety, but he was quite stable, and after receiving the order, he asked, "My lord, what should I do over there in Qingyuan Mansion?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Zhu Qi, you are familiar with the situation, do you think Qingyuan can hold it?" ”

Zhu Qi shook his head and said: "Qingyuan is just a small city, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in it now, but their morale is low, and the food stored is not enough for so many people to eat for a few days, so ......"

Duan Fei said: "Then don't guard, send someone to send an order to Qingyuan, ordering them to abandon Qingyuan and return to Liuzhou, before leaving Qingyuan, take away all the food and weapons they can bring, and if they can't take it away, they will set it on fire, and they must not leave half a grain of grain for the rebels, and the same is true for the guests." ”

Jiao Yang nodded and agreed, and personally gave the order, Duan Fei said again: "Although the enemy is strong, but we have the advantage of defending the city, and Liuzhou is a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you don't need to worry about whether you can defend it or not, the only thing to worry about is how long Liuzhou's grain storage can be for the army!" Xun Governor's Mansion, do you estimate that without foreign aid, how long can the 30,000 army of roosters eat in the grain storage? ”

Xun Dongtao, the prefect of Liuzhou, thought about it in his heart and said: "Five days, only five days is enough, this is mainly because when Lord Shen went on the expedition, he took away most of the grain, if these grains were robbed by the Yao thieves, I am afraid that the plan of the adults to set fire to the warehouse will not have much impact on the Yao thieves, but we will not be able to hold it ourselves." ”

Hearing this even more unfavorable news, the people present whispered one after another, and some of them even suggested: "Lord Qincha, since we can't fight and can't defend it, it's better for us to withdraw to Guilin first, or withdraw to Wuzhou, so that Qingshan doesn't have to worry about running out of firewood." ”

Duan Fei looked over sharply and shouted, "Whoever dares to retreat lightly will behead him for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!" ”

Duan Fei is usually kind and pleasant, everyone doesn't feel that he has anything extraordinary, and they can't help but be a little contemptuous, but now that he speaks sharply, everyone suddenly feels cold behind him, and no one dares to despise him anymore, let alone say a word of withdrawal.

Duan Fei shouted: "Although it is estimated that the grain storage is only enough for five days, at least the people who returned from Qingyuan Prefecture and the guests took all the grain in the granaries of the two places, not to mention that Liuzhou is not so easy to besiege, do the rebels have ships?" Can they block the waterways? As long as we hold Liuzhou firmly, reinforcements and food will continue to be transported by water, and the situation will be reversed sooner or later, what are you worried about? ”

Hearing Duan Fei's words, everyone's mood did not improve much, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back, under the command of a Qin Cha who did not know the height of the sky, could resist the brave and good wolf soldiers for a few rounds? Even Shen Xiyi, the god of war, was captured alive by the Yaoren......

Duan Fei found that everyone's morale was very problematic, he immediately issued a death order, and assigned the four city gates, each city gate will have one main general, two deputy generals, and one civil official, Duan Fei, Zhu Qi, and Xun Dongtao will sit in the middle feed, whoever dares to defend the city is not effective, Lord Qincha will behead him and ask for the crime!

Under the strict order, the morale was finally lifted a little, everyone was ordered to go back to prepare to defend the city, Duan Fei did not rest, and after discussing the matter of defending the city with Zhu Qi and Xun Dongtao for a while, Duan Fei personally inspected the city gates on all sides, seeing that the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was not high, Duan Fei turned his mind and came up with a ghost idea, he called Jiang Hui to the front, whispered a few words, Jiang Hui nodded knowingly, and immediately went to do something.

It didn't take long for people everywhere in Liuzhou City to spread the story of Duan Fei's supernatural powers, saying that Duan Fei had the blessing of the Bodhisattva, King Kong was not bad, and he could also spell, and he could scatter beans into soldiers, thinking that when he was in Shaanxi, he faced tens of thousands of thieves alone, and wiped out the enemy with a blow, and there were some traitors in the court who picked on the thorns and said that there was no corpse and did not give merit, and that night the traitor's house was full of haunts, all of which were unjust ghosts who were killed in Shaanxi, and had been accepted by Duan Fei as a servant ghost.

Duan Fei itself has many anecdotes, and it is even more magical after being added to the vinegar, but in the past, it was mostly spread in the north or south of the Yangtze River, and the people of Guangxi knew that he was relatively few, and after the secret agents of Jinyiwei spread around Liuzhou, everyone knew that Duan Fei's magic was not much worse than the legendary Shen Xiyi.

The miracle finally reappeared, and the next morning, Jiao Yang hurriedly came to see Duan Fei, and said to Duan Fei, who had worked all night but was still in good spirits: "My lord, there is news of my brother and them, I heard that Shen Qincha is also with them. ”

Duan Fei was shocked: "What? They were also captured? ”

Jiao Yang hurriedly said: "No, they are just trapped in a valley in Qianjiang County, not captured, now the valley mouth is blocked, they can't get out, and the rebels can't attack it, my lord, please give a team of people to the lowly office, the lowly job will go to Qianjiang to rescue them!" ”

Duan Fei unfolded the map and said, "Don't worry, where is Qianjiang?" And where is that valley? Show it to me. ”

Qianjiang is between Nandanwei and Laibin, at the confluence of the Qingshui River and the Hongshui River, where the terrain is complicated, and the ancient map makes Duan Fei see as if in the fog.

"Who got the news? Is it credible? Duan Fei thought for a while and then asked Jiao Yang.

"It was a brother who went out with the army, he fled back alone to bring back the message, and met a spy I sent out on the way, and just after finishing the information, he fainted, and the spy hurriedly reported that the brother who had escaped was said to have been hidden by him in a hole in the earth near Xinxing Town."

Duan Fei looked at the sky outside the door and said, "Where are there any soldiers to send in the city now...... Jiao Yang, I order you to stay in Liuzhou, to cover up the news that I have left Liuzhou, I will take a few people to Qianjiang to save people in person, this is an order! ”

Jiao Yang was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, but Duan Fei didn't allow him to object, and said: "The Qin Chayin letter will be handed over to you, if there is anything you can decide for me, if it goes well, I will rush back from the waterway with Shen Xiyi first, it will not take more than five days, at that time, the rebels should not have time to attack the city, there will be no problem." ”

Jiao Yang said anxiously: "But...... My lord, the battle is dangerous, if something goes wrong ......"

Duan Fei smiled, picked up the stone paperweight on the case, rubbed his hands with his palms, the stone paperweight suddenly turned into stone powder and fell, Duan Fei said: "The tiger is not powerful, you still treat me as a sick cat, believe it or not, I can beat you all over the ground to find teeth......
