"Stomp, stomp..."

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, but it alarmed the people of Zhuo County who were packing up.

"What's going on?!"

"It seems to be the sound of horses' hooves!"

"And it seems to be a herd of horses..."

"Let's go, go out and have a look!"

As if a tacit understanding of nature, the people in Zhuo County all walked out of the door and looked out of the street.

"It's... Imperial court reinforcements?! ”

"Dad! Don't be busy packing up, the imperial reinforcements are coming! ”

A woman who went out to watch the situation saw a steady stream of 'steel dragons' driving through the street, so she hurriedly shouted in surprise to the house!

"What? Imperial court reinforcements? How... Possible! ”

A farmer walked out of the house when he heard the sound, and his original look of disbelief was instantly reversed.

"..."

"I'm not dreaming, am I..."

"Is it really the imperial court reinforcements?!"

The man muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Not a dream! Not a dream! ”

"Look at the general who is the leader, it doesn't look like General Anton who walked out of our Zhuo County!"

The woman clutched her husband's sleeve and shouted with excitement.

"General Anton..."

"Looks like it's really him!"

When the man heard this, he looked towards the head of the army, and saw a young man with a somewhat familiar face, looking at the people on both sides of the street, and at the same time chatting and laughing with a Confucian scholar beside him.

"Lord, you see, the people of Zhuo County have all heard the news, and the original panicked look on their faces has disappeared, it seems that our arrival is like a reassuring pill for them."

Guo Jia said to Lu Qi with a smile.

"It's just human nature, the scene of the strong man I met before leading a family to flee can be glimpsed, if we haven't come here today, I'm afraid that there will be a scene of ten rooms and nine emptiness in the entire Zhuo County."

"Alas, it can really be said that 'prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people also suffer'!"

Lu Qi saw that the faces of the people on both sides of the street showed a smile like the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"What a 'prosperous, the people suffer, die, the people also suffer'!"

"The lord only relied on the words of Liao, but he said the rise and fall of a dynasty!"

After Guo Jia heard Lu Qi's words, he couldn't help but praise and exclaimed.

In this regard, Lu Qi could only smile and remain silent.

"Drive!"

Suddenly, not far ahead, a figure of a fast horse was rushing towards it.

"It seems that the person who picked us up is here."

Previously, when Lu Qi's army entered Zhuo County, there were guards who had already gone to Taishou Mansion to report, and at this time, there must have been a message.

Sure enough, the fast horse man ran to the front and back of Lu Qi and the others, and then dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said:

"Villain Yang Lin, I've seen Pingyang Hou!"

"Get up, no need to be polite."

Lu Qi said indifferently.

"Thank you, Pingyang Hou!"

"The younger one is the subordinate of Lord Xu Ming, the Taishou of Zhuo County, who got the order to come and greet the Marquis of Pingyang first."

"At the same time, Lord Xu is already rushing here."

After Yang Lin got up, he hurriedly reported to Lu Qi.

"Well, Yide, Yunchang, and Hansheng, the three of you will go with this Mr. Yang to settle the army, and then go to the Taishou Mansion to find me."

After Lu Qi nodded, he turned his head and commanded the three Guan Yu behind him.

"No!"

Zhang Fei and the three of them bowed.

"These sergeants of mine, please ask Mr. Yang."

After Lu Qi finished his order, he turned to Yang Lin and smiled.

"Pingyang Hou is serious, this is a small matter!"

When Yang Lin heard this, he hurriedly made a look of sincere fear and bowed his head and said.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Zhang Fei and the others: "Please also ask the three generals to follow the villain to the western part of Zhuo County for resettlement." ”

"There's Mr. Lao Yang."

When Zhang Fei and the three of them heard this, they bowed their hands.

After all, their identities at this time are different from the past, and between their words and deeds, they all represent Lu Qi's face, and in this familiar Zhuo County, they can't be too casual.

"Let's go, Fengxiao, evil comes."

"No!"

After seeing Zhang Fei and the others gradually moving towards the west of Zhuo County, Lu Qi drove his horse and walked slowly forward.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man leading a group of people and waiting for them, and was quickly approaching them.

"Ahead, is Pingyang Hou in person?"

Xu Mingchao landed Qi shouted.

"It's my father-in-law!"

Guo Jia replied softly.

"Great!"

After Xu Ming got the reply, his face was full of excitement!

"Phew...!"

After walking to the front and back of Lu Qi and the others, Xu Ming hurriedly dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said:

"Xiaguan, I've seen Pingyang Hou!"

"Mrs. Xu should not be polite, please get up quickly."

Seeing this, Lu Qi dismounted and walked in front of Xu Ming, and helped him up with his own hands.

"Xiaguan had been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court before, but when he saw Pingyang Hou at this time, he was a little out of shape."

Xu Ming's eyes were full of tears, and he looked excited, and bowed to Lu Qi again.

"It's okay, Mrs. Xu is really temperamental!"

When Lu Qi heard this, he said with a smile.

"This time, I led more than 200,000 troops, on the orders of His Majesty, to support the north, but I came at this time, but I don't know if it's too late?"

Lu Qi asked Xu Ming.

"It's not too late! It's not too late! ”

When Xu Ming heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and then said bitterly:

"At this time, Mao Dun has just gathered with the sandalwood acacia of the Xianbei clan, and the Marquis of Pingyang came at this time, but it is just right!"

"If it's a little later, I really don't know what to do..."

"In that case, then we need to discuss and come up with a plan as soon as possible, so that we can arrange for my army to go to various places for reinforcements."

When Lu Qi heard this, he knew about the battle situation on the border of Youzhou at this time.

"Okay, please also ask the Marquis of Pingyang to go to Xiaguan's house, and at the same time, Lord Assassin Shi is also waiting there!"

Xu Ming nodded in response.

"Oh? Lord Thorn Shi is also there, so it would be even better. ”

Lu Qi seemed to have thought of something, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and smiled.

"Yes, when the barbarian army had just attacked, Lord Thorn Shi hurried to Zhuo County and personally handled all the battles until today!"

Hearing this, Xu Ming hurriedly explained to Lu Qi.

"Okay, then let's go to Taishou Mansion first."

"No!"

......

A moment later.

In the middle of the Taishou Mansion.

"Haha! Ziyi, I haven't seen you for a long time! ”

Liu Yu smiled at Lu Qi in front of him.

"A few months ago, I said goodbye to Lord Thorn Shi, and I just met again at this time, but there was a feeling like the next day."

Lu Qi also bowed his hand in return.

"Come on, come on, let's sit and talk."

Liu Yu saw that everyone was standing in the hall, so he hurriedly smiled and said.

"Xiaguan is going to prepare a feast and wash the dust for Pingyang Hou!"

When Xu Ming saw this, his heart was like a mirror, and he hurriedly retreated.

"Hmm."

Liu Yu nodded indifferently in response.

"Stomp..."

"Bang..."

After Xu Ming left the hall and closed the door, Liu Yu suddenly showed a look of excitement, and when he was about to speak, Lu Qi's eyes flashed with orange light, and he saw that Liu Yu seemed to have received some information, and suddenly his expression was indifferent, and then he said:

"Ziyi, and everyone, sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Thorn!"

Dian Wei and Guo Jia hurriedly bowed.

And when everyone sat down and began to discuss, Guo Jia's eyes quietly wandered back and forth between Lu Qi and Liu Yu.

"Between the lord and Liu Tingshi, there seems to be another hidden secret..."

As for this, Lu Qi didn't notice it, he and Liu Yu didn't talk much, and after a few sentences, they talked about the topic.

"Ziyi, you led a large army to come today, which can be said to solve the urgent need of Youzhou!"

Liu Yu said with a happy face.

"I heard from Xu Ming's subordinates that the Mao Dun of Wuhuan and the Xianbei Tanshi Huai have been united, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses?"

Lu Qi nodded slightly and asked.

"The Xianbei clan originally led an army of nearly 300,000 people to the border of my Youzhou, but at this time, Maodun unified the Wuhuan clan, and the strength was nearly 200,000 people, but together, there were 500,000..."

Liu Yu said, but there was some distress in his expression.

Because, the original garrison of Youzhou was less than 100,000, and 30,000 of them were in the hands of Gongsun Zhan.

As for Liu Yu, he had some friction with Gongsun Zhan earlier, so naturally he couldn't command all the sergeants in a unified manner.

And the border of Youzhou is from Shanggu County to Liaoxi County, and the distance between this cannot be fully distributed with only the 70,000 soldiers in Liu Yu's hands.

This is also a problem that Liu Yu has been troubled with so far.

On the other hand, the arrival of Lu Qi also solved this big hidden danger.

"Lord Thorn, I'd like to ask you a question."

Lu Qi asked towards Liu Yu.

"Ziyi, please speak."

Liu Yu said.

"The Xianbei clan led by Tanshi Huai, but all of them?"

Lu Qi asked.

"No, the vast majority of them are the Xianbei clan in Liaoxi, as for Liaodong, only one-third of the troops have been dispatched, and the remaining two-thirds of the troops are left in their own clan."

Liu Yu recounted.

"So, in the Xianbei base area, there are still nearly 100,000 troops left to come out?"

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Not really, among the remaining troops of the Xianbei clan, it seems that there are 100,000 people, but only half of them can fight, and as for the rest, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled."

Liu Yu shook his head and said.

"In that case..."

Lu Qi turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and the two looked at each other and smiled: "Then it's worry-free." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he was a little curious.

"Lord Thorn Shi doesn't need to ask more, you just need to rest assured, I'm afraid that in a few days, this Xianbei clan will retreat on its own."

The corners of Lu Qi's mouth curled slightly.

"Oh?!"

"It seems that Ziyi has already planned..."

Liu Yu stroked his long beard, and his eyes flashed.

......

About half an hour later, in the parlor of the Taishou Mansion.

"Come on, Ziyi, let's have a drink!"

Liu Yu raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Lu Qi.

"Good!"

Lu Qi smiled and raised his glass, and after nodding slightly to Liu Yu, the two laughed and drank each other.

"Time has passed, but in just a few months, Ziyi has become the Marquis of Pingyang, and even Yide and Yunchang are also promoted, which really makes me feel gratified!"

After Liu Yu finished down with a glass of wine, he looked at Zhang Fei and the others, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiaguan respects Lord Shi with a cup, if there is no Assassin Lord Shi's critical order, I and the lord, I'm afraid that we won't be able to have such a smooth career!"

Guan Yu got up, bowed slightly to Liu Yu, and drank the glass of wine in his hand.

"That's right! I Zhang Fei also want to give a cup to Lord Assassin Shi, thank you Lord Assassin Shi at the beginning! ”

Zhang Fei also raised his glass and saluted.

"Hahaha, Yide and Yun Changyan are serious, the future you have obtained is all taken by your own efforts, I am just a recommendation."

Liu Yu also smiled and returned a glass of wine to the two of them.

"I waited for the end of the slightest, to be able to get the appreciation of Lord Thorn Shi, only then can I get a fish in water, the so-called Maxima often has, and Bole is not often, for me and Yide, Yun Chang, Lord Thorn Shi is our Bole also, come, let's give a cup of Lord Thorn Shi!"

Lu Qi raised his glass and said.

"That's right!"

Everyone stood up and toasted to Liu Yu.

In an instant, it was a scene of joy for the guests and hosts.

......

After noon, the feast came to an end.

"Lord Thorn, it's time for us to set off for the border."

After Lu Qi had eaten and drunk enough, he got up and said.

"It's okay, Ziyi's army has been marching rapidly for many days, and it should be repaired at this time, so it's okay to set off now and go to the border."

When Liu Yu heard this, he got up and nodded.

"Xu Ming."

"The lower official is here!"

Xu Ming, who consciously acted as a wine companion on the side, heard that Liu Yu was named, so he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Collect the food and salary of the various departments in Youzhou as soon as possible, although Ziyi's army says that it has its own grain and grass, but if there is a protracted war, the consumption of grain and grass by hundreds of thousands of troops is also a problem that cannot be ignored, you have to plan for yourself, you can't make mistakes!"

Liu Yu said.

"No!"

"The subordinate guarantees his life, and he will definitely not drag the soldiers back in terms of logistics!"

Xu Ming bowed and said solemnly.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'm ready to go!"

Lu Qi said that, he bowed to Liu Yu.

"There is no need to say much about the farewell words, I just hope that Ziyi can recreate the previous glory and end this war as soon as possible, so as not to suffer the people."

Liu Yu solemnly bowed to Lu Qi and said, "For the people of Youzhou, I have thanked Ziyi and you in advance!" ”

"Lord Thorn Shi don't want to be like this, I can't afford such a big gift!"

Seeing this, Guo Jia and the others hurriedly replied.

"How can you not afford it, you will go to the front line and fight with the barbarians, it can be described as dangerous and abnormal, the people have your protection, naturally they are rewarded with you, this gift, deserve!"

Liu Yu Zhenzhen said!

"We will live up to the trust of Lord Thorn Shi, and we will also live up to the expectations of the people!"

After Zhang Fei and the others heard Liu Yu's words, they still felt that a hot fire was burning in their chests!

......

Upper Valley County.

"Archer prepare!"

"Put!"

"Woohoo!"

With Zou Jing's order, the archery troops behind him shot a rain of arrows outside the city wall!

"Boys, shield!"

And Tanshi Huai's side, seeing this scene, shouted angrily.

"Bang!"

A shield made of dark iron is immediately erected!

"Da-da..."

Most of the arrows rained down on the shields, but they fell directly to the ground.

"Ahh

But in some gaps, I still accidentally let the rain of arrows penetrate through, and some unlucky eggs were directly blocked by an arrow!

......
