"This is a matter of responsibility. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Qian Hua wanted to speak and stopped, looked left and right before whispering in Li You's ear, "Your Majesty was frightened last night, and his body seemed to be a little unwell. ”

"Huh?" Li You suddenly felt bad, if he desperately defended Weizhou City and forced Tang Kuo to retreat, but Li Gui hung up, then wouldn't all this be meaningless?

"But it doesn't seem to matter too much to hear what Manager Wei said, maybe it will be better after a few days of cultivation, right?" Qian Hua hurriedly explained, "It's just that if you're not afraid of 10,000, we're afraid of what happens, we still have to be on guard." ”

"Wang Ji has always stayed by His Majesty's side, he is shrewd and thoughtful, so I have to ask him." Li You understands that there may still be hidden secrets of civil officials among the inner servants now, and he must be careful to beware.

While speaking, Li Gui's imperial car had arrived outside Weizhou City, and Li You and Qian Hua hurriedly went to greet him and sent him to the vacated prefect's yamen to settle down; Li Gui, who was a little pale, came out of the carriage and said to Li You, "Shunchangbo was unfortunately killed, and most of the Chinese army was defeated, and now Li Aiqing will preside over the overall situation in Weizhou City." ”

Qiu Shangjian was Si Feng Langzhong before, Qian Hua was old but also lacked experience in leading the army, and the last review of Li You left a deep impression on him, so at this critical time Li Gui still chose him as the commander of the Weizhou army.

After Li You received the order, he said, "After the minister arrived in Weizhou yesterday, he beheaded Chen Ruyan, the prefect of Weizhou, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins. "After that, I told Li Gui about what happened in the homework, and the killing of the four ministers is a big matter, and Li Gui must be informed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future.

"Such traitors deserve to die, what is Li Aiqing's crime." After experiencing so many things in a row, Li Gui seemed to be somewhat aware of the actions of the civil officials, and immediately ordered Wei Shiliang to erase the beginning and end of the matter for Li You.

"Ahem... I am a little tired, so I will go first and rest, and I will leave all the affairs of the city to you. After saying this for so long, Li Gui's body was a little unbearable, and he coughed twice and then retreated, leaving all the outside affairs to Li You, Qian Hua and others to deal with.

Qian Hua and Li You didn't sleep all night, but now is not the time to rest at all, and hurriedly called Qiu Shangjian and other battalion officials to discuss countermeasures, and now that most of the Chinese army is scattered, the remaining generals are only the three of them and two mediocre talents with high qualifications, these two people can still see the situation clearly, and when they saw the holy decree, they handed over the military power in their hands to Li You without saying a word.

"Commander Yao and Commander Qin are loyal to the king, and His Majesty will definitely reward them generously after returning to Beijing." Li You will not be harsh on such a person, and Wen Yan Jiaqian turned to the topic after a few words, "Now let's calculate how many available soldiers and horses we have in our hands, right?" My Zhenwei battalion should have more than 5,000 people, but in reality there were only 4,500 people. ”

"My Yaowu battalion is a little worse than General Li's Zhenwei battalion, only 4,200 people." Eating empty salaries is a thing that every camp head has, and now Qian Hua is not shy about it, and directly said his actual number.

"I just took over the Guoyong Battalion, and after investigation, I found that there were only 4,000 people in the battalion." Qiu Shangjian was temporarily transferred to the commander this time, thinking that he could mix up some credit and be promoted, but he didn't expect that not only did he encounter a big defeat, but even the pillars of their British Gongqiu family collapsed, but the current situation did not allow him to have time to be sad.

"The last general's Liwei battalion has three thousand eight hundred men." Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the Liwei battalion, said with a little embarrassment, he ate much more ruthlessly than others, but now was by no means the time to hide it.

"The last general's battalion of Guoyong has four thousand and one hundred men." The commander of the Guoyong battalion, Qin Tansheng, also reported his number.

"That means that there are only 20,600 people in the establishment today." These five battalions have more than 28,000 people on the books, this ratio makes Li You can't help but sigh, but this is still good, if it is the army in the state capital, there will be more empty salaries, "The remaining more than 10,000 defeated soldiers will be organized into our five battalions, and there will be a few days before Tang Kuo's troops come to the city, let's hurry up and finish the training of these people first." ”

Qian Hua, Qiu Shangjian, Yao Pingzhong and Qin Tansheng respectively led their respective deployments to hold the four city walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest, among which Li You's most trusted Qian Hua was responsible for defending the north gate where Tang Kuo's department was best likely to appear, while his own subordinates were responsible for supporting the party in crisis at any time as a mobile force, as well as taking care of the security in the city, so as to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

In the next few days, everyone urgently organized their troops and horses, and brought the stragglers into their respective commands; While Li You was arresting spies everywhere in the city and maintaining order in the city, he gathered all the craftsmen in the city and asked them to build various city defense equipment under the command of Gu Jiangzi.

Gu Jiangzi, the old man, surprised Li You again, he said that the mace, yaksha ring, trebuchet and other city-defending equipment came from the way, Li You was happy and simply got a drawing of the eight-bull crossbow and asked him to do it as he was, to see if he could get this big killing weapon to defend the city.

After Li You left, Gu Jiangzi didn't come back to his senses in the workshop for a long time, hey, the Mo family is long in defending the city, but how many years have the heirs of the Mo family not participated in such a big war? Will this be a chance for the Mo family to rise again? Leaning slightly, this not very pure Mo family descendant began to command his craftsmen to get busy, and gathered his disciples to carefully study the blueprint of the eight-ox crossbow that Li You gave him.

After resting for two days, Li Gui, who had recovered a little bit of energy, also came out of the mansion and came to the city wall to check the military situation, when he saw that these soldiers completed their respective tasks in an orderly manner under the command of Li You, he was a little relieved, maybe relying on this city can block the army of Tang Kuo's army, right? It's just in the capital.......

Three days later, one day earlier than Li You and they expected, Yuan Zhang led the army of Tang Kuo's army to the north gate of Weizhou City, Li You investigated on the city tower, and found that Yuan Zhang's army was heavily guarded between the marches, and there were not many flaws, so he had to let the cavalry who were ready to attack dismount and rest.

After the arrival of the army, they did not rush to attack the city, but launched a siege of Weizhou City in all directions, and the encampment seemed to be ready for a long-term siege.

At night, Li You also did not find a suitable opportunity to attack, Yuan Zhang's army was no better than Yin Ziqi's rebels, and his tactical literacy had not yet reached the level of Zhang Xun, and the Great Wei army in the city did not have to be united by the Suiyang army, so he could only bluff and scare Tang Kuo's army twice.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yuan Zhang came to the north gate first, and said loudly, "Please also ask General Li to go out of the city for a while." (To be continued.) )
