Chapter 111: The Gentleman is Light and the People are Noble (New Books for Collection, Recommendation)
"Master Su, the two thousand foot soldiers who came from the border city to support have arrived, what do you think of the arrangement?"
Deng Biao hurriedly walked in, interrupting Su Jun's contemplation.
Su Jun walked up to the city and looked up, isn't it, the two thousand soldiers who came on foot from the border city have all arrived at the city of Qulan Town at this time, and the rows of soldiers are walking neatly, and the red flags are in the air, waving in the wind, which is not spectacular.
"It's good to come, it's exactly what I want, you go and call Ye Liji to me, I have an important task for him to do"
"Yes"
Deng Biao responded to the order and gave a salute to retire.
After a while, Ye Liji hurried over, knelt down on one knee in front of Su Jun, and waited for orders.
"Ye Liji, I know that you have excellent riding skills, and now there is a task related to the life and death of the peaceful people, do you dare to take it?"
"Why don't you dare? Noriji is at the mercy of the general."
"I have a handwritten letter here, I want you to rush to the inner city without stopping for a moment, and hand it over to Yan Qinghua personally, this matter is related to the life and death of the peaceful people, if you succeed, you will be rewarded, if you fail, I will take your head"
Listening to Su Jun's tone, Ye Liji knew that this matter must be very important, but he and General Su only had a two-sided relationship, and he was able to entrust such an important task to himself, what kind of trust was this?
As the so-called soldier dies as a confidant, Ye Liji kowtowed to Su Jun heavily, and said in a deep voice:
"Even if he dies, the villain will definitely live up to the general's trust"
Su Jun handed the secret letter with his seal to Ye Liji, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go now, remember what I said, there can be no delay on the way, the sooner we arrive, the better it will be for us"
Noriji nodded firmly, and a scorching light flashed in his eyes, representing hope.
Qulan Town injured 1,002 enemies in a battle and lost 800 of himself, in Su Jun's eyes, this can only be regarded as a miserable victory at best, but others don't think so, since the battle with the barbarians, no matter how big or small the battle is, there are really not many times when An Ning can achieve such a victory.
This battle not only won more with less, but Su Jun even killed the barbarian king of a tribe, which was a great encouragement to the morale of the entire border county army and people, at least let everyone know that the invincible barbarian soldiers are not invincible
Only Su Jun knew in his heart that their challenges were far more than these, what would be the fate of this town that had just undergone the baptism of war?
Su Jun shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking about other things, the top priority now is to immediately strengthen the defense of Qulan Town, for Fei Tingxi's analysis, he probably agrees, the people of the Nua tribe don't know, their plan has been leaked, Qulan Town is indeed their best choice.
Of course, this does not mean that other cities, towns, and towns are absolutely safe, and it is also necessary to appropriately increase the number of troops.
Su Jun's hands are full of calculations, and there are only 30,000 people available, if he wants to defend the entire border county, how easy is it to say, he also thought about finding Shoutian Shunchang in Ando County to borrow troops, the other party must not dare to refuse, but what about Ando? Don't you want it? So this thought, he just thought about it and dispelled it.
When this period of time passes, I have to recruit troops on a large scale, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the ancients did not deceive me, only when there are more brothers and brothers under my hands, my waist pole can be harder, and I will no longer be angry by the barbarians.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I still have to live my life, since I have thought that Nuyaman's target may also be Qulan Town, then there will be no one to keep here for the time being, otherwise once this place is lost, the outcome will be unimaginable, although Su Jun is very confident in himself and thinks that it is unlikely to be lost here, but it is better to make plans early.
Su Jun ordered someone to find Li Congqian and asked him to organize the people in Qulan Town, bring food and valuables, and temporarily go to the border city to stay for a few days to avoid the war.
"Huh?"
Listening to Su Jun's words, Li Congqian, the mayor of Qulan Town, was obviously stunned.
In the law of tranquility, the punishment for the people who move without permission is quite severe, especially the border generation, the control of migration is more severe, the light is killed, and the heavy is sitting, so even if Qulan Town is not safe, no one dares to leave, because many people's eyes are staring tightly, and they are afraid that they will also suffer.
Su Jun asked the people of Qulan Town to temporarily relocate to the border city to live, although it didn't seem to have violated the law of tranquility, but once the boss was investigated, it would not be a joke, not to mention that the mayor of Qulan Town took the lead in relocating, and he would definitely not be able to run away from the capital crime.
"Your Royal Highness, this ...... This is not in accordance with my peace statutes, and if the king knows about it, I am afraid that you will ...... it too."
Li Congqian's words were more subtle, although you are the son of the world, but your old son is still there, not to mention that the throne may not be passed on to you in the future.
But before he could finish speaking, Su Jun interrupted:
"The king is light, the people are precious, and life and death are at stake, of course, human life is greater than the law, if the king really investigates, I, the son of peace, will fight for you"
"The prince thinks of the people so much, then the lower officials really can't act on their behalf, and ask the prince to personally let the people of Qulan Town feel the grace of the dragon."
Although Li Congqian is only a town mayor and an official is not big, after all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, he may not be able to lead troops to fight, but he is definitely a human spirit in terms of human feelings, what he wants is a guarantee from Su Jun in front of all the people, after all, it is a matter of life and death of his family, and he has to be cautious.
Once the prince personally told the people of Qulan Town about this, then he didn't need to worry about anything, even if King An Ning really blamed him in the future, it would be their father and son's business, and the king couldn't really cut his son.
"The mayor is polite, then you go and gather the people now"
Su Jun said with a smile on his face, staring at Li Congqian's eyes.
looked at Li Congqian from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly retired to deal with the things Su Jun explained, fortunately, his work efficiency was still quite high, and after a while, all the families in the town, men, women and children gathered on the colonel field for military training.
Looking at the crowd below, Su Jun took a few steps forward, cleared his throat, took a breath, and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, old and young masters of Qulan Town, below is Su Zhongqing, the general of Zhenbei, and the new county head of the border county, I have a few words to say to you."
When he first went out to chase and kill the barbarians, Su Jun took the lead, and many people in the town had seen Su Jun, but everyone didn't know him, but he was not very old, but he was extremely brave and extraordinary, just as he inherited his father's generation, the hereditary military leader.
Now I suddenly heard that he turned out to be the head of the border county, that is the highest administrative and military governor of the border county, that is definitely worthy of the name of the emperor, in the hearts of ordinary people, the county head has always been a high-ranking existence, I didn't expect that this reinforcement of Qulan Town, it was actually the county head personally led the team.
