On the evening of the second day after Lu Ying left, the scouts arranged by the Zhenbei Army outside Beiguan City sent back an urgent report through several specially domesticated falcons that an unknown armed cavalry was rapidly attacking Beiguan City!

Although most of the elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Beiguancheng were taken outside the pass to participate in the ambush of Caowu, Lu Ying had always been cautious and still left 800 soldiers in charge of defending the city, which was led by two capable generals.

One of the two generals is called Bu Mustard, and the other is called Single Knife Root. When the two of them got the news, they immediately resolutely ordered the gate of Beiguan City to be closed, and the people of Qi in the city were not allowed to go out without permission to return home, and the merchants of their own countries reported to the official office, and the merchants of foreign countries and barbarians immediately reported to the Commercial Office in the south of the city.

Usually Lu Ying occasionally does similar drills, so most of the people in Beiguan City don't know that the dark clouds of war have quietly arrived, so they just think it is another drill, and after listening to the warnings of the soldiers and messengers beating gongs and drums, they still pack up their things in an orderly manner and return to their respective homes.

Because everyone is very familiar with this set of "emergency management measures", it only takes an hour for all the personnel to return to their respective positions, and only the patrolling soldiers are quietly left on the street.

When Bai Lingling heard the sound of the gong, she was having dinner on Tongyun Tower, she knew that Lu Ying was not in Beiguan City at the moment, and according to the past practice, she would never practice at such a time, so it was very likely that someone would take advantage of the absence of her righteous brother to be unfavorable to Beiguan City!

Huang Bai heard the sound of the gong, hurriedly sent the guests below, and walked up to ask Bai Poria if he would go to Tongyun Tower first to rest in the courtyard of his house or if he had other plans.

Bai Poria frowned and looked at the street, and said, "I'll go to the General's Mansion!" She has Lu Ying's token on her, and she can pass through Beiguan City unimpeded at any time, and even call the city gate to lead the team home, but she rarely uses such a privilege, because Lu Ying will notify her in advance every time she exercises.

Tongyunlou is quite a distance away from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the road is unusually smooth and you can't even see a ghost, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the city see the carriage of the eldest lady of the Bai family from a distance, and they all take the initiative to give way. Bai Poria is so famous in Beiguan City, it can be said that everyone knows about it, and only a fool will go up to check and be verbose.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the General's Mansion, they really ran into a fool......

"Carriage ahead, stop!" Three people walked out of the side street in front of the general's mansion, and the first one was wearing the general military uniform of the Zhenbei Army, and it was he who shouted.

This general was followed by two ordinary officers of Beiguancheng, and the two of them looked embarrassed and unwilling, and secretly couldn't help but look at this general envoy, pulling and pulling, as if they wanted to dissuade him from coming forward to beg for fun.

The general had a straight face, unmoved, and stepped forward and said: "Today, the whole city was ordered to be under martial law, prohibiting the people from walking around the streets without authorization, do you have a general's warrant?" ”

Bai Guo glared angrily and shouted, "Who is my young lady?" Don't you recognize it? The young lady has the token of the great general, and she can move freely at any time, and the entire Beiguan City knows it! ”

"In extraordinary times, please show your token." The general manager looked at each other and didn't give an inch.

Bai Poria didn't want to dwell on such a trivial matter, pushed the window and handed the token to Bai Shisan next to the car, looked at the token carefully, and said, "Is there anyone else in the car besides Miss Bai?" Please come out as well. ”

As soon as he said this, the Bai family was uneasy, they often dealt with the Zhenbei Army, and they had never seen such a brainless and unsympathetic person!

Bai Poria was surprisingly easy to speak, and directly motioned to Bai Shisan to open the car door for her, and said to the general manager: "I'm the only one in the car, just watch it if you want to." ”

The two errand officers who kept bowing to the Bai family behind him and flattering and laughing with everyone walked to the door of the car, carefully looked inside the car, and after making sure that there was only Bai Poria alone, he hugged his fists and said hardly: "Offended!" ”

Bai Poria smiled slightly: "You are just performing official duties, I don't know the name of this military master?" ”

Her smile was like a spring sun, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, but she quickly recovered and replied, "Galangal." ”

Just when he reported his name, the two errand officers behind him had already looked at him with a look of "you're finished" - dare to offend Miss Bai, you have always deserved to come to an end, don't think about going one step further in this life! General Lu is well-known for his pampering and maintenance of the eldest lady of the Bai family, and those who dare to offend her are polite if they don't reward you with a meal of stuffed pork with military sticks every day.

"Okay, I remember." Bai Ling's words were indistinct, and she waved her hand to signal Bai Shisan to pull the car door and continue to the general's mansion.

Lilac secretly said to Bai Guo: "Will the young lady tell the general about this galangal?" ”

Bai Guo said: "Who knows, it depends on the mood of the young lady." ”

"Actually, I think this galangal is also loyal to his duties......" Lilac whispered.

Bai Guo pouted and said, "It's rare to be like him." ”

Shi Zhu, the porter of the General's Mansion, saw that it was the eldest lady of the Bai family, his eyes immediately lit up, and he respectfully invited them into the door, and immediately rushed to find Shi Wei.

At this moment, the front hall of the general's mansion was full of officials in the city and several generals left by the Zhenbei Army to defend the city, and when they heard that Bai Poria had arrived, Bu Jiao and Shan Daogen took the lead to come out to greet them, and Bai Poria was not polite, and after returning the salute to everyone, he asked what was the reason for the sudden martial law in the city.

Bu and Shan took advantage of the presence of the officials in the city, briefly explained the situation, and comforted: "The gate of the city wall of Beiguan City is very strong, if the other party wants to attack it is really difficult to make a difference, as far as the current situation is concerned, they will probably arrive tonight, the number of barbarian cavalry is limited, it is impossible to have enough manpower to besiege the city, most of them just heard that the general is not in the city and wants to try their luck, as long as you help stabilize the law and order in the city, our army will strictly guard the city gate, they will soon retreat." Besides, the general has already sent a letter to the general just now, and the general will be able to return to the division in two days at most, and if these bandits don't leave by then, they will be the ones who are crying! ”

Seeing that the two of them were full of confidence and relaxed, the officials in the city also let go of their worries, and each of them took their leave to go back to deal with government affairs.

After everyone retreated, Bai Poria asked, "Who do the two adults think is attacking this time?" ”

She used to often go in and out of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and prepared food, grass, military salaries, military uniforms and ordnance and other materials for the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenbei Army was very familiar with her, and these senior generals were very polite to her.

Hearing her ask about the details, she didn't hide it, Shan Daogen touched the beard, and muttered: "Most of them are Caowu's people, this happened too coincidentally, the general just received the news that Caowu was going to raid the big arrow department, and took away most of the elite of the Zhenbei Army, and someone here came to attack Beiguan City, I am afraid that it was premeditated to attack the east and west." ”

Bu Jiao glared and said: "If that's the case, Caowu is too whimsical, with his little rabble, he wants to attack the city, even if the general is not there, could it be that those of us who defend the city are dead?" ”

Shan Daogen snorted: "Cao Wu is not a stupid person, it is not the first time that he has faced the general, he knows the general's power, he dares to do this, there must be something we don't know, there may still be some hidden tricks that have not been used." ”

Bai Poria reminded with a smile: "No matter what kind of madness he has, the righteous brother is not here, and it depends on the two of us to defend the city, we don't know what tricks Caowu has, why don't we think about the circumstances under which this Beiguan City may be breached?" "It doesn't matter what kind of wind the attackers draw from, what matters is that they must stabilize the situation and not let the enemy attack.

Bu Jiao said hesitantly: "Unless we take the initiative to open the city, they will be outside for a year and a half, and they won't want to come in!" ”

He is right, in recent years, Lu Ying has renovated the city wall gate of Beiguan City, the city wall is as high as three zhang, to climb over the wall and enter, there must be tools such as ladders to attack the city, the barbarian cavalry moves quickly, rarely carries such troublesome equipment, and it takes a certain amount of time to make it from local materials, plus the siege is always much more difficult than the defense of the city, and the number of people besieging the city must be several times the number of people defending the city to be successful, so even if the number of remaining Zhenbei troops in the city is not large, it is enough to deal with them.

What's more, Lu Ying will soon be able to lead the troops back, no matter who comes to attack the city, in the case that the soldiers in the city have already received information in advance and are prepared, futile is almost an inevitable result.

"In this case, we have to guard against the inside of the city, and if a spy opens the city gate from the inside, it will be bad." That's what Poria really wants to say.

Bu Jiao laughed and said: "No wonder the general always praises the young lady for her cleverness, it is true, we have ordered the senior generals left in the city to come immediately, and then we will pick out the person in charge of guarding the city gate and assign the task!" ”

"With two adults here, the little girl is relieved." What Bai Poria is really worried about is not the problem of defending the city, she is still very confident in Lu Ying's ability. Lu Ying is cautious, she must be on guard against similar things, and she doesn't have to point fingers, and Beiguancheng will be safe.

But what about the finishing touches after the enemy forces have retreated? Beiguan City has been peaceful for a few years, and suddenly such a thing happened, which will deal a blow to the confidence of the people who live here and the merchants who do business here, and how to minimize the impact is a headache for Bai Poria Cocos.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Bai Poria was about to get up and go to the west wing of the backyard to figure out what to do, when she saw Shi Zhu bring in six people dressed as officers, one of whom was the galangal she had seen not long ago.

He saw Bai Poria sitting in the hall, and the position was on the same level as Bu and Dan, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze away.
