failed to convince Wu Yi, Gu Yanzhang was worried.

Yongzhou City is a frontier, for hundreds of years, it has been burned and attacked many times due to wars, and there are more than ten times in history alone, not to mention the wars that have been brought by one stroke.

When Yang Kui was fighting, he once renovated the Yongzhou city wall and rebuilt the moat, Wu Yi said that the city here is strong, but it is not an exaggeration.

But is it true that he is not afraid of the cross-toed soldiers at all?

How can it be.

The strength of Yongzhou City, counting the courage that was only requisitioned and could not be used, was about 4,000, but fortunately, Chen Hao went south to quell the rebellion, brought thousands of soldiers, and then put it together, that is, more than 10,000 people.

More than 10,000 miles, 6,000 went to Qinzhou and Pennsylvania for rescue, and now there are only 7,800 left.

There are four city gates in Yongzhou, and each city gate is evenly distributed, and there can only be about 2,000 in one place.

According to conservative estimates, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 thieves.

With such a huge disparity in troops, even if the city is strong, how can it be defended?

Wu Yi said in the past that as long as the reinforcements arrived, it would be fine, but if there was no army levied by the DPRK and China, even if someone in the nearby prefectures and counties dared to lead troops to help, according to the regulations of the Guangnan Xiang Army and the native soldiers, the maximum number of troops would be only three or two thousand, and what was the difference between coming and sending them to death?

The speed of the transfer of troops in the DPRK and the central government, Gu Yanzhang saw it in his eyes.

He and Zhang Dingya followed Chen Hao to Guangnan, day and night, without stopping.

Ordinary people from the capital to Guangyuan Prefecture, if it is a march, counting the soldiers, three months can arrive, has been able to blow a lot, this time, from the discussion, to the departure, and to arrive in Guangyuan Prefecture, the whole process is less than two months.

It's not contempt, but Gu Yanzhang doesn't think that the army of North Korea and China will come soon.

At their pace, expecting too much is no different from daydreaming.

Doesn't Wu Yi know about such a situation?

Sometimes, Gu Yanzhang doesn't know whether the other party is overconfident or really stupid.

Wu Yi's official position is high, his qualifications are deep, his career is smooth, and he has almost never taken a detour, even if he is demoted to Yongzhou at this time, he is ready to go and accumulate strength for the next round of promotion.

He had never been on the battlefield, had never really fought a war, and every day he heard others discussing military affairs in the court, he thought that fighting a war was an easy matter.

However, where is the battle so easy to fight!

Fortunately, it was to defend the city, otherwise it would really be death.

***

Wu Yi insisted on refusing to close the grass market outside the city, and Gu Yanzhang had no way to press him.

Because he was worried that once the thieves really had a striker rushing in, whether it was the people outside the city or the county near the left, he couldn't dodge in a hurry, so he could only make a detour to try it.

Wu Yi can manage the affairs of Yongzhou City, but now that the thieves have not come, he can't control the soldiers brought by Chen Hao.

Gu Yanzhang discussed with the generals and took the security army and the Tanzhou Xiang army out of the city for drills.

It is a common practice for soldiers to drill, and no one can find a mistake, and it is normal for the place inside the city to be small, and to go out of the city.

He was transferred with the army, and he had to find a way to choose a place for training, so he specially selected a large area not far from the grass market.

A small number of wealthy households in the city were already preparing to pack up their industries and be soft, and they were going to flee when they had the exact news, and now they saw that the soldiers were practicing outside the city every day, all of them were murderous, and they were already frightened.

All of a sudden, people in Yongzhou City were panicked, and prices were flying.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and Gu Yanzhang has expected such a result.

However, after Wu Yi received the news, he was furious.

He was not in a hurry to stabilize the prices in the city, nor was he in a hurry to appease the people, but immediately ordered someone to find Gu Yanzhang into the state government and began to ask the teacher.

"Now that Guangnan is in turmoil, the people in the city are absorbing the emperor, Gu Gouyuan, as an official, does not want to be loyal to the monarch and the country, but does this big fallacious thing, how is it tantamount to adding fuel to the fire?!"

Bringing out the storms that have been set off in the city in recent days, Wu Yi slammed a small volume of documents in his hand on the table, only to hear a "pop", and the spine of the book that was not tightly sealed directly cracked a small half.

Wu Yi's face was ugly, staring straight at Gu Yanzhang, and shouted: "Look at yourself, it's only been a few days, and the price of rice in the city has risen by half!" It's all because you're misconducting! As a courtier, how can you be so sloppy and so frivolous! ”

He scolded him, but his heart was more excited than angry.

The security army that went south to quell the rebellion, the Tanzhou Xiang army, etc., are all the only ones who are Chen Hao's horse, Chen Hao is now seriously ill, and the deputy general Zhang Dingya is leading the troops outside, and there are only those who can speak in the army, except for Wang Miyuan and another deputy general, only Gu Yanzhang remains.

Unlike the deputy generals, Gu Yanzhang is not an old man in the Guangxin army, nor is he an old man in the Tanzhou Xiang army, he has been with the army for a short time, but because he is in charge of logistics and transfer, he has a little prestige in the counterinsurgency army, and he is quite convincing to the public, which is just used to establish authority!

Wu Yixin had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

If you don't dig it down and rectify it vigorously, how can you command the rebels after a while?

Gu Yanzhang was unmoved, as if the person who was scolded was not himself, he picked up the small booklet on the table, opened it and read it quickly, and then raised his head and asked: "Yongzhou is often closed in the grain reserves, this year is a big harvest year, at most five or six days, the price of rice will tend to stabilize, and after a while, it will fall, Zhizhou and look, a few days ago it still rose more than ten wen a day, and it has only risen a few times in the past two days." ”

He also said: "The subordinate is a transfer with the army, arranging the soldiers' drill site, it is his duty, if he is attacking the soldiers in the future, the diplomatic battle between the two armies is inevitable, if you take care of the head and tail at this time, wait until the thief really comes, it is difficult to have the opportunity to drill in that place, even so, it is better to take advantage of the gap at this time, and practice a good life - I don't know what the state thinks?" ”

Wu Yi didn't think so.

He may not be able to do it, but the eloquence he practiced when he was doing imperial history was not in vain, and it was easy to see Gu Yanzhang finish speaking, and immediately asked sharply: "Doesn't Gu Gouyuan know what 'disturbing the people' is?" The Son of Heaven appointed you to come to Guangnan to quell the rebellion, but for the sake of the people's livelihood and stability, and now there is such an uproar in the city, you still don't know how to reflect, you act so badly, behave so badly, not only do not do good things, but also do fallacious things, complacent, how can you be worthy of the Son of Heaven?! ”

Gu Yanzhang really didn't have time to fight with him, but he couldn't ignore it, so he had to say: "Then according to Zhizhou's intentions, what should the lower officials do now?" ”

Fu said: "Now Qinzhou and Penn have not replied for more than half a month, and the spies have detected that there is a small group of thieves and stragglers coming towards Yongzhou, I don't know when, the army will come to the city, the situation is urgent, and Zhizhou should not be prepared for it......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wu Yi interrupt with a sneer: "You also know that it is a 'small group of remnants', most of the troops in Jiaozhi are now trapped in Qinzhou and Pennsylvania, how can you have the spare strength to come to my Yongzhou, you don't have to talk about him left and right, you don't repent, you need to know ......."

Wu Yi's two eyebrows were raised upright, and he saw that he was about to make a loud remark, who knew that he raised his voice high, and before he could reprimand, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then, a messenger almost rolled in-

"Zhizhou! Xuanhua has an urgent report!! ”
