There are dozens of wings in the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion. At this time, it was already full of people. However, all officials above the level of the inspection department and the chief officer have moved their close relatives to the wing of the chief office.

On one side of the back hall of the principal's mansion, there are more than a dozen side rooms, and Zhou Dongcang has lived in one of the suites for many years. The main figures, such as Xuan Zhongxian and Zhang Yifeng, also lived here temporarily, and Wu Xiaoze, Xiao Tie, Li Xiao, Xin Huwei, Mao, and Wen Daochang also lived here.

There were four people living next door to the wing where Wu Xiaoze lived. One of them is the fifth owner of Meishan Villa, known as "Mei Wuge", and the other three are called Mei Lidong, Mei Lixi and Mei Yong.

These four people are a group of Meishan guards who eat and live together, two people are playing chess, and the other two people are watching the chess without saying a word. The four of them are very tacit.

Mei Lidong used the "screen horse flat cannon to exchange the car" to deal with the "medium cannon crossing car" of "Mei Fifth Brother", and was soon defeated.

Mei Lixi used the "screen horse left horse pan river" to deal with the "medium cannon river crossing car" of "Mei Wuge", and after a long time, the tie was made.

"Fifth Brother Mei" said: "You should have won this game, but I tied the game." ”

Mei Lixi said: "It's 'Fifth Brother Mei' who has superb chess skills. ”

"Fifth Brother Mei" said: "This game has been going on for too long, and I am a little sleepy after drinking, I will sleep first, and the target next door will wake me up when he comes back." I personally went to complete the task. ”

Mei Lixi said: "'Fifth Brother Mei', are you doing it alone?"

"Fifth Brother Mei" said: "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements." ”

Mei Yong knew that "Fifth Brother Mei" was a fifth-order qi refiner with a strange treasure, and it would be a piece of cake to complete the task, so he said to Mei Lixi: "Down, down, my head cannon has been on the table for a long time." ”

Next door to the side room where Wu Xiaoze lives is the wing room where Li Xiao lives.

Li Xiao didn't want to listen to the sound of fighting outside the city anymore, he "turned off" his "super hearing" and was upset. When young people can't even support themselves, they still have the world in mind.

Li smiled: "Why do humans want to fight?"

Wen Dao said: "If you don't fight, you will be killed by the enemy." ”

In order to stop getting hurt yourself, you can only use a knife to let others get hurt?

Mao Daochang smiled and said, "Senior brother, what are you talking about? It is not that the enemy has to fight and then to fight, but that there is an enemy because of the war. ”

Wen Daochang sneered: "Senior brother, what are you talking about? ”

Guarding Xin found that Li Xiao's relationship with Daochang Mao, Daochang Wen, and Xuan Zhongxian was extraordinary, and he flattered: "The war is for food." ”

Why revolution? The fundamental reason is that the stomach is making a revolution.

Xiao Tie, who was playing with Li Xiao in the wing, was a foodie. He heard Guard Xin say this, and answered, "Fighting is not all about eating. Sometimes, wars are fought because they are fed. With nothing to do, they chose to fight. In the past, when I was in Lehehe Restaurant, I heard Inspector Sun say, 'Marching and fighting is a game of life and death. There is a famous saying in Fanyu Lijiguo: War is the entertainment of emperors and magnates. ”

Li Xiaoxin said: Today, I learned that Xiao Tie is so well-read and strong. "Uncle Fang, what do you think? Why do humans fight?"

Fang Qiushui said: "War, for the sake of fighting for land and women. "What the barbarians do.

Xuan Zhongxian said: "People's hearts are scattered. It's just a struggle for power. "The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and for a long time, it must be divided. There are dividends, and there are benefits. If the profit is large, the people's minds will be divided, and if the profits are large, the people's minds will be together.

Li Xiao thought about it a lot and decided to go to the East Gate Tower to see the battlefield by the moat.

Human beings are like this, the more they don't want to face things, the more they want to see them. Just like going to the reincarnation of grains to do big things, many people always like to look at stinky excrement.

Li Xiao asked, "Uncle Hua, shall we go to the East Gate to have a look?"

"What's there to see?"

Guard Xin answered, "Little brother, aren't you afraid of nightmares?"

Li Xiaoxin said: The dreams I have are all dreams of flying by myself, and there are no nightmares.

Fang Qiushui felt very bored hiding in the wing, and said, "It's just killing, what nightmare can you have?" Go, I'll go with you to take a look." ”

Guard Xin grinned.

Li Xiao took the lead out of the door, exerted his "super hearing", and prepared to follow the sound and go straight to the East Gate City Gate. However, from near and far, he heard Wu Xiaoze in the wing room, and made an extremely slight voice: "Don't kill me, save ...... Save me. Then Wu Xiaoze's voice mixed into the buzzing sound.

Li smiled at the other party Qiushui and said, "Uncle Fang, do you listen?"

"What?"

Li Xiao suddenly remembered that Fang Qiushui would not be "super hearing". So, Li Xiao pointed to the wing where Zhang Yifeng, Wu Xiaoze, and Xiaotie lived, and said softly: "Someone shouted for help." ”

"Really?" Fang Qiushui hurriedly walked to the hidden door, and shouted while knocking on the door: "Gang Leader Zhang, are you there?" Gang Leader Zhang?......

No one answered.

Li Xiao was worried that Wu Xiaoze was hurt, so he squeaked and hurriedly pushed the hidden door open. What caught my eye was Zhang Yifeng who fell to the ground, and it was Yifeng of the Shang Gang who fell in a pool of blood.

Fang Qiushui tested Zhang Yifeng's breathing and pulse, and shook his head at Li Xiao, indicating that the person was dead.

Li Xiao has no good impression of Zhang Yifeng, the first time he met Zhang Yifeng, he was "monkey peach" by him, how could the impression be good?

What about Wu Xiaoze? The house was very quiet.

I just heard Wu Xiaoze's voice - "Don't kill me". But the man was gone.

###

The Balongwei avant-garde swept away the Jiang Longwei army with strong force. With only one-tenth of his troops lost, he drove Jiang Longwei to the Jinniu Town Market.

The Tyrannous guard is also composed of cavalry, but it is not the elite of the Tyrannous Guard. The main force of the Balongwei is the middle army and the left and right guards.

The eight or nine thousand uneven cavalry did not stop near Yuanyang City, and after a short rest, they pursued Jiang Longwei to the south.

In the meeting hall of the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion, Xuan Zhongxian discussed with the officials of the Governor's Mansion with Zhou Dongcang as the core, and the officers at all levels of Yuanyangwei.

Zhou Dongcang asked, "Chief Jiang, how many people have been added to the city defense battalion?" ”

"The number of people in charge has increased to two thousand. There is a shortage of uniforms and weapons. "The city defense battalion was allowed to transfer soldiers and strong men from the inspection departments of various markets and towns, and the shortage of soldiers was replenished quickly.

"Commander Sun, Commander Li, and Chief Instructor Linghu, how many soldiers have you replenished?"

Linghu said without illness: "Only five hundred and twenty-three people were recruited." Li Liang said: "None of the strong men of the right age are willing to serve in the military. If you are caught and enlisted in the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to win the battle. ”

"You're worried that recruits will 'not succeed enough and will fail more than they do'?"

"Exactly. ”

Zhou Dongcang suggested: "Step up the recruitment of soldiers from the homeless, and when appropriate, you can take strong measures." ”

Li Liang said: "Let the homeless people serve as soldiers, and the homeless people will not starve to death." But even if these displaced people choose to starve to death, they do not choose to become soldiers. ”

The workshop manager asked, "Why?"

"When you are a soldier in peacetime, you can eat with a mouthful of food. There is really going to be a war and bloodshed, and few people are willing to make sacrifices. ”

Zhou Dongcang's brows furrowed like a twist, and he said in a low voice: "Make up for the soldier's gap first, and then slowly improve the soldier's quality later." "Heart Dao: In war, soldiers with low quality will die.

Sun Tu was more tactful, and immediately echoed Zhou Dongcang's words, "The big chief is right." ”

Zhou Dongcang said to Mei Shuanglin and Mei Yicai: "When will the 30 million tribulus terrestris I build arrive in Yuanyang City?"

Mei Shuanglin looked at Mei Yicai with his eyes. Mei Yicai said in a deep voice: "Before the sun sets tomorrow, it can be transported." ”

"Master Xuanda, when will your reinforcements arrive?" Zhou Dongcang was sure that Xuan Zhongxian's father, who was far away in the imperial capital, would not die for his only son.

"Before noon tomorrow. ”

"How many people will come?"

"A thousand is enough. ”

"What?" "A thousand?" braggart guys. "Big talker. "It's still so arrogant. "The face is ruined, but the heart is still there. ”......

Zhou Dongcang organized the Meishan Guard, and after sunset, all the roads leading from the Jinniu Town Market to Yuanyang City were sprinkled with thistle terrestris, trying to temporarily strand the cavalry of the Balongwei in the Jinniu Town Market, which was far away from Yuanyang City.

Tribulus terrestris is an iron spike with a tip similar to that of the annual herb "Tribulus terrestris", which has four iron thorns several inches long. Scattering thistles on the ground can slow down the enemy's advance and slow down the march.
