Xie Dang stood at the head of the city, and slapped the city wall in anger, his eyes as if he was about to erupt into fire.

And when the group of horse thieves saw the closure of the suspension bridge in Mi County, they no longer hesitated, and they actually rushed towards the surrounding farms near Mi County, how could those ordinary farmers be taken away by horse thieves, and one by one the farmers fled in a hurry, and then died under the knife of the horse thief.

Many horse thieves even dismounted, and plundered the remaining women and children, as well as all kinds of valuable items in the house, even the cattle and buffalo that were grazing leisurely on the ground not far away, and held their reins, and the entire horse thief team was like a bloated trophy caravan, leaving towards Qinglong Village.

And Xie Dang and the others could only watch them go.

Because if you let go of the drawbridge to chase, the horse thieves can completely abandon the loot and improve mobility, but it is more likely that these horse thieves will not run away at all, but will rush towards Mi County, break through the city gate of Mi County, and the tragedy will be even more tragic at that time.

The atmosphere in the city was extremely depressing, and Xie Dang was angry: "One day, I will crush these horse thieves to ashes!" ”

The soldiers next to him had anger and fear in their eyes, Qinglong Village was so rampant, what could they do in the future?

Now that the troubled times are raging, thieves and horse thieves like Qinglongzhai are also taking the opportunity to appear, and without the suppression of the regular army, Qinglongzhai is even more unscrupulous.

The panicked people in the city were still palpitating, and a defensive centurion at the head of the city looked at Xie Dang.

"County magistrate, this group of bandits from Qinglong Village will definitely come again, what should we do?"

Xie Dang frowned tightly, Mi County was harassed by Qinglong Village, and there was no way to cultivate the nearby farmland, so Mi County was extremely short of food.

He wants to get rid of Qinglongzhai more than anyone else, but the military strength of Mi County is too weak.

"Hey."

Xie Dang sighed, and the clerk on the side clenched his fists and said, "County Order, why don't we ask Xinguo for help?" ”

"Xinguo?"

Xie Dang frowned: "Not long ago, I also rejected the trade request of the new country, and now let me turn my head and ask the new country, I'm afraid they won't lend a hand, and if they don't save them and ridicule them, this may be the biggest." ”

"The county order, now is the critical juncture of Mi County's survival, everything naturally has to be focused on Mi County, and Mi County and Xinguo are cold lips and teeth, and they are of the same origin, Mi County was looted, and Qinglong Village was strengthened, which is not good for Xinguo. The county order, I would like to be a lobbyist and go to Xinguo. ”

Xie Dang frowned: "Okay, you just go for a trip, it's a big deal that I will live and die with Mi County." ”

"Yes!"

……

The morning of the second day.

Ren Tian sat on the dragon chair, he changed to a more comfortable position, after this period of adaptation, he already liked the role of the emperor more and more.

The little eunuch on the side shouted at the top of his voice as usual, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from", the group of officials below, you look at me, I look at you, and then Dazai Yanyang stood up.

"Your Majesty, Mi County is in an emergency."

Ren Tianyi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, yesterday the horse thieves of Qinglongzhai attacked Mi County, looted the people's farms near Mi County, lost three farms, and suffered great losses of cattle, property and population.

"So fast?"

Ren Tian frowned slightly, Qinglongzhai is an NPC-type horse thief, which is still very destructive, and if he accidentally develops and grows, he will be the next Black Mountain Army.

"Your Majesty," Dazai Yanyang said again, "At present, Mi County has sent an envoy to ask for aid to my new country, and the people are waiting in Honglu Temple, has Your Majesty summoned you?" ”

Nearly 30 courtiers in the court are also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and it seems that Qinglongzhai is going to do something to Mi County.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, discuss it. ”

Sikong Du Hong immediately came out: "Your Majesty, my new country intended to be friendly with Mi County, but Mi County Xie Dang did not respect my new country and directly rejected the trade request made by my new country, which is a good thing for our new country, offended the majesty of my new country, and must be punished, and the minister thinks that there is no need to send troops." ”

Ren Tian frowned, Du Hong's banner is really waving, and the moral high point is one set, but in fact, it is useless.

Just like in the Ming and Qing dynasties at that time, when there was a lot of land and resources, other small countries sent some garbage things, and in order to maintain the prestige of the Celestial Empire, they directly rewarded more than ten times the amount of items, and Ren Tian felt stupid.

Can this kind of great country dignity be eaten?

Sorry, he's a pragmatist, and everything is based on profit.

Automatically ignoring Du Hong's words, Ren Tian looked at the other courtiers.

Yan Yang also stood up and repeated his previous point of view, that is, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, first waiting for Mixian and Qinglongzhai to fight, and then Xinguo will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Ren Tian looked at Sima Guo Bai again, Guo Bai clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mi County and Xinguo are cold, from a geographical point of view, Xinguo and Mi County are the closest, if there is a problem in Mi County, Xinguo will be isolated in the future, so my suggestion is that no matter what mistakes there are before, Xinguo must send troops." ”

Ren Tian was silent, and he looked at Tian Dan again.

This is the person who is most relied on at the moment.

And Tian Dan is also out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that it is not only necessary to save, but also to send troops as soon as possible." ”

"Why?"

"Guo Sima is right, Mi County and Xinguo are cold, if Xinguo wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, this is impossible, the horse thieves in Qinglongzhai act quickly, and the city is broken, either burn and loot, or occupy the land for the king, no matter which one it is, it is not the best choice for us, even if Mi County and Qinglongzhai compete, Qinglongzhai will not suffer much loss, so Xinguo will not get much benefit when it sends troops late.

Again, Mi County is located in the middle of the entire Linchuan County, if Your Majesty wants to restore the territory of the entire Linchuan County, then Mi County can't get around, this time to solve the siege of Mi County, it will definitely make Xie County Ling remember, and the relationship with the new country is close, and one more ally is a very good choice for the new country now.

Secondly, the reason why Qinglongzhai has not yet attacked the city is because they have not yet made siege props such as ladders, once the ladders are made, it is only a matter of time before Mixian falls, and once Mixian is broken, the objects of Qinglongzhai looting in the future will naturally be transferred to Xinguo. ”

Ren Tian nodded secretly in his heart, to be honest, he was also inclined to send troops as soon as possible.

It's just that Situ Zhang Guangzhi glanced at Tian Dan coldly: "Your Majesty, this person was from Mi County before, so he naturally spoke for Mi County, my new country's combat strength is immature, and how many new country soldiers have to die against the horse thieves in Qinglong Village?" What's more, Mi County did not promise any benefits, and the minister did not recommend doing such a thankless task. ”
