Yongzhou has jurisdiction over Xuanhua, Wuyuan, Langning and other counties, Xuanhua is located in the south, just on the official road to Qinzhou, Penn and other places.

Even though Wu Yi was extremely displeased, he also knew that the person who came was so nervous, and nine times out of ten it was a military situation, he only stared at the other party, and shouted: "Say!" ”

The messenger didn't have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly took out a document sealed with fire paint from his chest, presented it to Wu Yi with both hands, and said, "Zhizhou, Xuanhua...... Xuanhua has a report! ”

Rao is Wu Yi had already prepared, and when he took the paperwork, he opened it and looked at it for a while, and the expression on his face changed immediately.

His face was not good-looking, but at this time, he stinked as if he had been splashed with dung, raised his head suddenly, and asked sharply: "Is this speculation, or is it conclusive?" ”

The messenger hurriedly said: "The county lieutenant sent more than ten spies out, only three people came back, and the rest were killed by arrows, it is said that the encounter was the elite striker of the thieves, and there were countless soldiers and thieves behind, playing the word "Li", the word "Liao" and many scattered flags, looking from afar, the head of the black pressure is a piece, it is really difficult to calculate, according to the distance, if it is a rapid march, it only takes one day to reach Xuanhua, it is blocked along the way, I want to come to Yongzhou in two days! ”

Wu Yicai swore that most of the thieves' troops were trapped in Qinzhou and Pennsylvania, asserting that he "had no spare strength to come to my Yongzhou", and was immediately confused by this report.

However, he was born in the imperial history, and the side was not good, his face was practiced, and he only had nothing happening, so he immediately cleaned up his face, turned his head to Gu Yanzhang and said: "Now that the thieves are powerful, I don't know the truth for the time being, Chen Jiedu is bedridden, and the troops in Yongzhou City are insufficient, and you have to wait for the enemy to fight together, so you can withstand this catastrophe!" ”

When he arrived, he took what he said before as a fart, and after three times and two blows, he blew far away.

He also sent people to summon Wang Miyuan and other deputy generals in the southward counterinsurgency army, and ordered the capital supervisor and others to count the troops in Qizhou, count the grain and straw, and carry the baggage, and then post notices, preparing to recruit brave men and women to resist the enemy with all their might.

Wu Yi has been looking forward to the thieves attacking, and today it was easy to finally get the exact news, but he was more excited than nervous, and now he was sitting in the hall, and in just a few moments, he issued seven or eight orders in a row.

Gu Yanzhang listened to it for a long time, and saw that he had already begun to order his subordinates to close the city gates in the east, south, and west, leaving only the north gate open for three hours a day, only entering and not leaving, and he wanted to speak, but as soon as he considered Wu Yi's actions in the past, he immediately kept silent.

- If you make a suggestion at this time, it is the second thing to ignore it, if the other party is ruthless for a while, and he says that he wants to be the east, he will do the west instead, which is to do bad things with good intentions.

He didn't wait long, the middle-grade officials in the Yongzhou Prefecture have already arrived, and the deputy general Wang Miyuan, who followed Chen Hao to the south to quell the rebellion, and others have also entered one after another, and some of the people still don't know what happened, but when they see this posture, they all know that there should be no good news.

Gu Yanzhang sat aside, and when the lieutenant general of the Ping Rebellion Army saw him, they all surrounded him and found a seat around him to sit down, while the officials in the state government also formed a circle and sat down separately.

After half an hour, the official of the Yazhong took the roster and nodded the heads, counted and counted, and the rest of the people arrived, and only one patrol of the city was nowhere to be seen.

Wu Yi sat on the top, didn't say a word, only flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

An official should sit in the hall.

After another quarter of an hour, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and a man of ordinary stature and thin armor entered the door panting.

He just stepped into the threshold, and when he saw that everyone inside had arrived neatly, he already knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "The east gate is closing, and the people are crowded inside and outside, and there is some chaos. ”

He bowed to Wu Yi and said, "I still hope to know Zhou Haihan." ”

This is not a problem, everyone does not pay attention, just waiting for this person to sit down.

However, to everyone's surprise, after a long time, there was still no one in the hall to speak.

Gu Yanzhang sat aside, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he looked up at Wu Yi.

Sure enough, the head of Yongzhou Zhizhou had a black face at this time, and he didn't excuse himself from being polite, nor did he speak, but just stared straight at the city patrol armor rider who was standing below.

The people in the hall finally noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sat upright, and some of them were drinking tea, and hurriedly put the tea cup back on the table, and they had to be careful in their movements, for fear that the bottom of the tea cup would touch the wooden table and make too much noise; Some of those who were whispering to their colleagues also shut up; There are even more people who are sitting honestly, and they can't wait to put their heads in their necks so that they don't let others see them.

For a while, a pin drop could be heard in the hall.

Wu Yi waited until the atmosphere was almost over, and then put aside the report in his hand and said: "I just issued an order, the east, south, and west gates must be closed immediately, and although the west gate can be opened for three hours a day, it is already past the time when the city is opened, why can the people on errands at the south gate, west gate, and north gate arrive on time, but you are delayed for so long?" ”

The city patrol rider was stunned, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he defended himself after a while: "I want to come...... It's because there are more people in Dongcheng that it's like this......"

At this time, it is wrong to say anything.

If he said that he was loyal to his duty and offended his colleagues in the other three cities, it seemed that they didn't care about it, and if he said that he was not capable, it seemed that he was not capable of doing things that others could do, but he insisted on putting it off for so long.

Wu Yi snorted from his nose and reprimanded: "Today, I sent someone to order the city gates everywhere, it already shows that the thieves are coming, everything in the city is coming according to the wartime, and you must be most vigilant, you are a patrol of the city, and you have been summoned by the Yazhong, and it has been delayed for so long before you arrive, if there is really a war, what will be the result of your delay, but you know?!" ”

He said coldly: "Now is the time of war, but you don't take the yamen order seriously, you are as slack as in the past, and if you don't punish you today, if you have this example, you will mess with our army's morale in the future, and the rest of the people will follow suit!" ”

Again, "You are convicted!" ”

The armor rider was walking on the road as if he was walking in a good manner, and suddenly he was beaten with a sack, and he didn't even have time to react, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

No one in the hall dared to say much.

Wu Zhizhou's move is clearly for the sake of prestige, if he pleads, he can't say that he will hurt that person even more.

Wu Yi said as he slapped the table with his right hand, raised his voice, and said, "Someone!" ”

The two officials were able to enter immediately.

"Take this man down, drag him out, and twenty rods, to set an example!"
