Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Enemy Arrives

Xu Quan looked at the woman who suddenly fell from the sky, and saw her ragged lying on her side in the flames, unscathed, and she was unconscious.

Xu Quan saw that the fire was about to be extinguished, so he ordered his sergeant to take it back, and saw that the woman was not clothed, Xu Quan wrapped her in a coarse cloth and sent her to the city hospital.

Xu Quan informed Shen Yue of this, and when Shen Yue heard it, he said "...... It's okay, he should be a member of the Chiyou tribe, but he is not angry, and he will know when he wakes up. ”

In the evening, Xu Quan feasted the ministers, after three rounds of wine, suddenly a person came to report, saying that the woman had woken up, Xu Quan ordered the sergeant to invite it, and within a moment, the woman walked leisurely, Xu Quan saw that his face was bloodless, his eyes were red, his temples were white but he looked like a child, Xu Quan was secretly shocked, and invited him to sit down.

Wei Xiu saw the woman, his face was shocked, dumbfounded, everyone was surprised, as we all know, Wei Xiu was silent, pampered and not surprised, as if he had no feelings, but today he was shocked, Xu Quan saw it, knew that this matter was not trivial, and asked, "Dare to ask Miss Zun's name." ”

When the woman heard it, she snatched the wine cup in Chu Qian's palm, drank it all, wiped her mouth with her sleeve as if she was not finished, and said with a smile, "My name is hard to remember, I can be called Yingyi, I fled in despair, passed through here, and fell into the forest because of the rapist." ”

Wei Xiu suddenly spoke, but it was a strange word, this word was like a beast's roar rather than a human speech, Ying Yi heard the same strange words in response, everyone was stunned, Shen Yue secretly said Xu Quan said, "Don't be surprised, this is a common language in the Jiuli clan." ”

Xu Quan was relieved, and when the two finished talking, Xu Quan saw that Wei Xiu was calm, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the two talked about?"

Wei Xiu smiled and said, "It's just a hometown matter." ”

During the banquet, Shen Yue secretly said to Xu Quan, "The two of them have fornication and want to kill you." ”

Xu Quan was shocked, but Shen Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "I play Ruer, I play Ruer"

Xu Quan's heart palpitated, and he smiled and said, "Ru'an dares to do this?"

Jiuli tribe, located in the far north, the rest of the party is the place where the rest of the party rests, and the Great Wall is located in the extreme south, when the Chi You died, the rest of the party hugged the head of the rat, afraid of the second brother of Yan Huang to chase and kill, so they only fled to the north, fled to the extreme north to slaughter the local aborigines, and wanted to regroup.

Who would have thought that the Jiuli clan was already mixed, and there were many people who were mixed with fish and eyes, and although there were many civil and military generals in their clan, they were thirsty for killing and reckless of the consequences, and finally killed themselves, in short, it was...... After playing free, the group fell apart, the dragons had no leader, and each of them went his own way, and the eighty-one elders in the Jiuli clan formed a faction, and they have been fighting in the extreme north until now.

Yingyi originally lived under the command of one of the factions, but because of the income slander and went to prison to await punishment, and finally escaped with help, fell into the forest because Xu Quan rescued and lived, but happened to go out with Wei Xiushi, after the banquet dispersed, Yingyi repeatedly thanked Xu Quan and returned to the house to rest.

Wei Xiu took the opportunity to secretly say to Xu Quan, "Yingyi is talented, she can be retained, and she can't be treated lightly." ”

When Xu Quan heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Wei has opened Chrysostom, and the younger brother doesn't dare to disobey it......"

Wei Xiu saw Xu Quan's promise, and went back to his house to rest one by one, and Shen Yue asked Xu Quan to enter the hall and sit down. ”

Shen Yue said without hesitation: "There is no money in the city." ”

"Poof!!"

When Xu Quan heard this, he was like a great enemy, and his face was solemn and said, "I ...... I've been living in poverty lately, and my diet is all coarse tea and light rice, how can I be short of money?"

When Shen Yue heard this, he couldn't help but say, "The population in the city is only three households, 100 acres of land per capita, 100 stone per capita, a total of more than 3 million stones a year, and 1.5 million stones, the sergeants under your command work day and night, and the per capita eats one stone of grain a day, and there are 7,000 elite soldiers and good generals under your command, and they eat 2.6 million stone grain a year. ”

When Xu Quan heard this, although he fell into the clouds, he said, "Lack of money...... I had to borrow it?"

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Yes, now that you have made a marriage with the Unification Society, and at this time, everyone will know it in less than three months, you can send a letter to send someone to send it at a gallop, asking him to borrow 200,000 yuan temporarily, and it will not be too late to soar in the future." ”

Xu Quanran wanted to go back to the room to sleep peacefully, Shen Yue said again, "Don't worry, I still have something important to tell you." ”

Xu Quan turned around and sat back in his seat, and said with a smile, "The military advisor is needless to say. ”

When Shen Yue heard this, he bluntly said, "You may have to return to the West." ”

Xu Quan was shocked when he heard this, and replied, "Military advisor Mo Xiwu!"

When Shen Yue heard this, he said with a stern face, "You have made a marriage with the Unification Society, and the heroes of the four sides of the city will prosper the teachers of benevolence and righteousness." ”

When Xu Quan heard this, he turned from shock to peace and said, "Don't worry, I can use a plan to break it." ”

Xu Quan resigned and left, Shen Yue saw that Xu Quan seemed to be confident, and gradually turned his worries into happiness, and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad...... The progress has been remarkable. ”

The next day, Xu Quan wrote a book in the courtyard, sent people to Yunling Mountain, and then brought wine and meat to Yingyi Post House, saw Yingyi drunk and did not wake up, waited in the lobby, and waited until the three poles of Rishan, Yingyi Fangjue, heard that Xu Quan was in the post house, changed his clothes, and saw that Xu Quan had been waiting in the post house for a long time, and said, "Xu City Lord is coming to miss the welcome, capital crime, capital crime." ”

Yingyi saw that although Xu Quan was dressed in brocade clothes, there was no servant entourage around him, and he only came with a sword, so he was suspicious, so he asked, Xu Quan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do with the people, why are I afraid of the people harming me?"

Xu Quan expressed his intentions one by one, hoping that Yingyi would deign to live in the city temporarily, Yingyi knew what he meant, and politely refused, "I was born in troubled times, but I only want to live a leisurely life, and I have decided to hide in the mountains and forests, and I hope that the king will forgive my sins." ”

When Xu Quan heard this, he knew that Yingyi was different from ordinary people, so he saluted one by one and said, "...... Don't worry, Miss, if you stay as the national teacher, you don't need to be on the battlefield, you just need to play chess with the ministers for fun. ”

Yingyi thought about it again and again, and when she saw Xu Quan's sincerity, she smiled and said, "In this case, I will try to serve for a few days, okay?"

When Xu Quan heard this, he was relieved and said, "Very good, very good, I will let people build a mansion first, and wait for Miss Wu to settle in." ”

Besides, in Yunling Mountain, Chen Qi heard that Xu Quan's messenger galloped in, invited him to enter the house, treated him attentively, opened the letter and looked at it, and after reading it, he ordered his left and right henchmen to send it to Guhe City by 200,000 times, and personally wrote a letter ordering him to take it with him, and wrote a letter in the house, and sent someone to send it to the place where the owner of the meeting was safe.

Besides, Gu Hecheng is a hundred miles away, all to Xu Quan has been married to the bandits, gathering to discuss the want to raise troops to fight, but hearing Xu Quan's letter, Chu Yi, the lord of one of the cities, heard it, ordered it to submit the letter, open the envelope and read, and after it finished reading, he calmly said, "Although Xu Quan is a junior, the subordinate ministers and generals gathered, and there is also Wen Tao Wuluo, and now he sent a secret letter, saying that he pretended to marry the bandits, and then went deep behind the enemy, and waited for him to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the unification of the meeting." ”

When one person heard this, he was furious and said, "This must be a thief's trick, and you should not be gullible." ”

Another person heard it, and said to himself, "Eh, the city lord of Zhao is wrong, it is said that Xu Quan is gentle and elegant, upright, and should see that Zheng Yi is weak and incompetent and oppresses the people, so he should be a loyal and righteous person, and the words in this letter should be true." ”

Chu Yi heard that what the two said was reasonable, and hesitated and said, "You don't have to make a big deal first, just wait and see how it changes." ”

The next day, Xu Quan was overjoyed to see that the 200,000 gold yuan had arrived, and treated him with courtesy, and then quickly ordered the sergeant to put his gold yuan into the warehouse, of which 50,000 gold yuan was used to exchange food, 35 yuan was used to recruit militia, 50,000 yuan was used to build ladders, 10,000 yuan was used to make trebuchets, and the rest was temporarily stored in the warehouse for emergencies.

The so-called ladder, that is, outside the city, in the canyon according to the mountain to build a ladder, the stone ladder leads directly to the peak of the canyon, you can set up a trebuchet here, and the archer, if the enemy army attacks the city, you can condescend to occupy the advantage.

Shen Yue recently observed that there were a lot of unemployed vagrants in the city, and many of them were strong, that is, they recommended Xu Quan to recruit militiamen, and sure enough, the news was everywhere, a total of 500 ruffians and hooligans, and 200 strong people came, and Xu Quan did not refuse.

Then Xu Quan set up a war supervision regiment according to Zhang He's words, purchased 500 white-maned horses, and increased the number of iron horsemen to 1,000.

However, Shen Yue suddenly said during the one-day banquet, "When September comes, there will be enemies attacking the city, can you settle it properly?"

Although everyone knows that Shen Yue is strategizing, they are still skeptical about it, and Yingyi, as a national teacher, does not need to be on the battlefield in person, nor does he need to give advice, he just needs to have fun.

In the next few months, needless to say, Shen Yue played chess with Ying Yi every day, talked about tea for fun, Xu Quan feasted and drank the ministers every day, but he didn't drink a drop of wine, and Wucheng under his command practiced martial arts every day, and would hunt for fun.

In late August, Xu Quan's command has already recruited 8,000 elite soldiers, because the wheat has been cooked in recent days, the city wall is impregnable, and the canyon is full of archers and stone cannons, only waiting for September.

Sure enough, on September 8, Tanma suddenly reported that more than 50,000 people came from the east, a hundred miles away from the city, and all the ministers were restless when they heard it, but Shen Yue said lightly, "In this battle, I don't have to go out in person, please ask the city lord to make a decision in person before retreating from the enemy." ”

Xu Quan was already in chaos, and there were no more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, but there were 50,000 enemies, but seeing that Shen Yue was calm and calm, he ordered Chen Jin and Chu Qianqian to lead all the infantry to defend the entrance of the canyon, Wei Xiu led the archers to take the ladder up the mountain, and Guanfeng Zhang Da led the infantry to ambush on the mountain road.

He also ordered the iron weapons to pour out of the nest, and a thousand military horses avoided the enemy, and divided fifty horses to Yunling Mountain for help, and the remaining iron horses were scattered and ambushed in various places within a radius of 100 miles, so that Tian Lin led 500 soldiers to defend the city, and Zheng Yan, Zhang He, Shen Yue and other strategists were seated in the mansion, but they wore armor and galloped out on their horses.

When the matter is done, the enemy is coming, Xu Quan is alone and only leads 30 horsemen to go, seeing the official road in the barren fields, the enemy army is coming all over the mountains, Xu Quan to the enemy, saluting and saying, "I don't know what you have to do here?"

Among the enemy, a man suddenly appeared, wearing gold-rimmed silver armor, five feet and one inch long, about the same age as Xu Quan, and when he saw Xu Quanzhi, he scolded and said, "Xu thief! ”

As expected, the person who came was Zheng Yi's brother, Zheng Aya, when he went to lead 5,000 troops and horses to wade through mountains and rivers to fight against Wu Cao with the group, but on the way back today, he heard that his brother was dead, and the city had been occupied by Xu Quan, vomiting blood and convulsions, and when he recovered from his illness, he led 5,000 troops and horses from the headquarters, and 50,000 elite soldiers came to kill.

The revenge of killing his brother is not shared, Xu Quan Wenzhi led fifty horsemen to flee in a hurry, fifty horsemen all rode fast horses in the mist, and the enemy army could not catch up with them, and when Xu Quan returned to the city, he ordered the sergeant to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
