As winter progresses, the biting wind blows even more mercilessly. Xuzhou is located in the west of the border, which is earlier than the winter of the imperial city, that is, you have to wear an extra piece of clothing in the house for fear of cold.

Ye Weishao sat in the room and looked at the letters coming from the imperial city, and couldn't help sighing, he had been in Yuzhou for more than a month, but he only received letters about the government, none of which were written to him by Feng Qing in private, and he wrote to Feng Qing and did not see her reply. Even on that day, on a whim, he asked the little ghost to pass on the note, and only one word was returned.

He had heard that there were many incidents in the Imperial City today, and he didn't know if Feng Qing could solve it alone.

"A letter from Your Majesty's Imperial City." Before the night, Shao was depressed and received a new letter.

"Why is it only coming now?" The time should have come earlier.

The soldier who came in lowered his head and whispered, "The official who came to deliver the letter was shot by the enemy not long ago, and this letter was also sent in after several tosses. ”

In recent days, the barbarians have become more and more excessive, not to mention privately entering the city to rob the people's daughters, and pretending to be bandits to steal food. Obviously, they were just beaten back not long ago, and I don't know if they didn't learn their lesson or if some new calculation is a bad trick that has been tried and tested.

Ye Weishao didn't complain about the little soldier anymore, and told him to put down the letter and let him leave.

When I opened the letter, I saw that the first line of Ye Weishao felt a little more joy in his heart, and it read: Ah Shao personally opened, the imperial city has not been peaceful in recent days, and many thoughtful courtiers are ready to move, but fortunately, they have been properly disposed of now. I haven't received a letter from A Shao for half a month, and I don't know how Qing is doing.

Although there are only a few words, he is still happy enough, but the strange thing is that he has also sent two letters in the past half a month, why did he say that he had not received them?

"Tell Master Gu to come in." Ye Weishao shouted to the outside world, and a small soldier outside immediately went to look for Gu Xun.

When Gu Xun entered, Ye Weishao stared at him, and he didn't know what was going on, and he felt a chill behind him. "Your Majesty, is this what happened?"

Ye Weishao stood up and walked in front of Gu Xun with a serious face, "Lord Gu, did you really send my letter back to the Imperial City?" ”

"Naturally, there is, and it was sent together with the minister's letter, what's wrong?" Gu Xun asked with a confused expression.

"Then why did the letter sent by Qingqing say that she never received the letter?" Ye Weishao asked, who else could eat his family letter.

The two were talking when a loud noise interrupted their conversation. "What's going on out there?"

A small soldier opened the door with a weapon, "Your Majesty, the barbarians are attacking the city." ”

"Quick, get some men to guard the gates. Tell the people in the city to hurry up and take refuge in the county magistrate's office. Ye Weishao commanded, I didn't expect those barbarians to attack the city so quickly, and now it's almost night, and I'm tired all day, how can I have the energy to fight again.

Gu Xun also hurriedly went out to follow the errands, and stayed alone in the house at night and was a little out of breath, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians are coming, let's hurry up and avoid it." Li Yanshan hurriedly came in and said, those of them who don't know martial arts going out now is equivalent to sending them to death.

"It's better for Li Qing to avoid it by himself, I want to go out and have a look." He didn't feel comfortable without looking at him, and these barbarians couldn't do anything to him.

Li Yanshan dissuaded Ye Weishao several times, but he still planned to go out to have a look, "Then Your Majesty be careful, the minister will go to appease those people first." ”

Ye Weishao walked directly to the city gate, and there were already many people ready to go, and there were also many people who blocked the city gate for fear that the barbarians would crash in. There are also quite a few archers on top of the high walls.

"Your Majesty, let's go in first." Gu Xun stepped forward and said, although he knew that he couldn't hurt Ye Weishao, but he still had to be careful.

"No need, you're busy, I'll just go up and have a look." After Ye Weishao finished speaking, he walked to the side and looked at the terrain map.

Gu Xun didn't come to see Ye Weishao again, he had the ability to protect himself, and what he was worried about was that the barbarians would directly attack the city. The biggest weakness of the Dongyong people compared with the barbarians is that they are small in size, not like the barbarians, and the body is burly and strong.

The barbarians outside surrounded the city gate, and stood in a large row, waiting for the commander to give the order to attack the city gate. They have also been close to the city privately in the past few days, and they have seen Dongyong's good objects and graceful stunners, so they are naturally itching and waiting to take the city and have a good time.

"When will we attack the city, Commander?" There are soldiers below who can't wait.

The leader waved his hand, "What's in a hurry?" Now is not the time, so he commanded him to go down and set up camp, and to send some brothers with good foundations to go to some hills to guard them, and if they saw anyone coming out, they would kill them. Then tell Teng Xiao to go to the other side, squat, as long as someone comes out, he will cut it. ”

At first, a few soldiers didn't understand it, but in the end, they understood, this is boiling. As long as all the roads out of the surrounding area are blocked, when the time comes, the people inside will run out of food, and they will either starve to death or come out of the net. "The leader is wise."

Ye Weishao was anxious inside, and he heard that the barbarians outside had actually begun to set up camp and make fires for cooking, and after looking for someone to investigate, he realized that this cunning barbarian had blocked all the roads out of the city.

There are two gates in the city, one of which has been surrounded by the west, and the other has been surrounded by the south. The others are all mountains and forests, and I heard that the spies came to report that there were also barbarians in the mountains and forests, and this was to trap them.

"Inquiry!" Ye Weishao called someone, "How much food is left?" He had already guessed what the barbarians were going to do.

"The surplus food is only enough for us to eat for seven days, and if there are no supplies for seven days, the people and soldiers will go hungry." Gu Xun frowned, this barbarian is really calculating. There are still a lot of prey to fight in the forest behind this, and you can also go out of the way, and now they are all fenced off, where can you still get out.

"Okay, let's go get dinner ready. Don't tell them about the food, let's talk about it after tonight. Ye Weishao reminded that if he said that the surplus food was insufficient at this time, he was afraid that the soldiers would lose their morale.

Gu Xun nodded and left, still thinking about what to do to solve the current trouble.

The barbarians outside are at ease, eating and drinking. After dinner, he remembered what was going on, and hurriedly found a few loud voices to shout to the people in the city, "Listen, people inside, you have been surrounded." If you want to go out, hand over the beauty...... If it's not right, just hand over Emperor Dongyong, and we will give way. ”

The few soldiers standing at the gate of the city were speechless angrily, even if they were incompetent, how could they hand over His Majesty. Your Majesty is the foundation of Dongyong, if you don't have Your Majesty, what will happen to Dongyong.

"It's really too deceitful!"

"That's right, I think we still opened the city gate and beat them up, so that they would know that we were powerful and would no longer be so unscrupulous."

"Yes, why didn't Your Majesty tell us to fight out?"

Several soldiers at the city gate said angrily.

"Don't be rash, Your Majesty has his own considerations." The soldier with a slightly larger position on the side said that although he was also annoyed, they could not send troops without His Majesty's order.
