Chapter 147
How bold Tang Yin is, Xiao Muqing can't understand it anymore, not to mention the capital of Besa, even Longtan Tiger Tang Yin has the courage to break through.
Looking at Guan Yuanrang, who looked disapproving, Xiao Muqing did not continue to argue with him, but just laughed dryly twice and welcomed him towards the city.
How powerful Guan Yuanrang is, he can see it clearly in the city, and now if he wants to resist the army of Besa, he will inevitably rely on this person a lot, and he will not dare to offend.
The wind army led by Xiao Muqing was almost like the stars holding the moon, and the front and back hugged the official Yuan to welcome him into the city. The latter also accepted the favor of the crowd with peace of mind, sat on the horse, did not even get down, his head was high, the corners of his mouth were raised, he seemed to be smiling, triumphant, in his opinion, everyone should have treated him like this, if he had not arrived in time, the barbarian army would have entered the city long ago.
was walking forward, and a group of people walked quickly in front of him, and the leader was not a bystander, it was Guan Yuanji.
Guan Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the eldest brother coming from a distance, he was stunned for a moment, and then the smug color on his face suddenly disappeared, and his first reaction was to get off the horse first, squeeze out a peaceful smile, and nod to everyone around him from time to time. Xiao Muqing was very strange, and he couldn't understand why he suddenly made a 180-degree turn in his attitude towards his own people.
After waiting for a while, he also saw Guan Yuanji and the others who were coming quickly, and then he realized in his heart that Guan Yuanrang was also in awe of his eldest brother!
Guan Yuanji has never cultivated Lingwu, but his three brothers are all strong people in Lingwu, but the attitude of the three brothers towards him is both respect and fear, of course, the respect is far more than fear, the parents have passed away, the eldest brother is the father, no matter how good the three are, in front of Guan Yuanji, they are just younger brothers, and they are juniors.
didn't wait for Guan Yuanji to come closer, Guan Yuanrang rushed over first, and when he arrived in front of Guan Yuanji, he straightened his clothes, and then knelt on his knees, and before he could speak, his eyes turned red first. Guan Yuan let travel all over the world, away from home for several years, and the eldest brother has been separated for several years, at this time, the heart is surging, and after a moment's relief, his voice trembled and said: "Brother Yuan Rang, meet the eldest brother!"
Looking at his brother who had been away from home for many years and kneeling in front of him at this time, Guan Yuanji's tears also fell, and he hurriedly reached out to help Yuan Rang up, looked at him carefully, and felt that his brother was much darker than he had in his impression, and he looked a lot more mature, he nodded excitedly, and choked up: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
The two brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and when they reunite after a long absence, they naturally have a stomach full of words and a thousand words to say, but Xiao Muqing didn't have time to wait for them to talk about family life, he came close and said with a smile: "The official has a brother like General Yuanrang, it is really a blessing for the official family, and it is also a blessing for my Pingyuan County!"
He said this very skillfully, that is, he showed flattery and respect, and secretly added the title of general to Guan Yuanrang, which meant that he wanted to pull him into the Plains Army.
How could the two brothers not hear his words, Guan Yuanji didn't say anything, and Guan Yuanrang said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just an idler, when did I become a general? If I hadn't known that Pingyuan County was in trouble this time, and my eldest brother was trapped, I wouldn't have rushed back all the way." ”
He is telling the truth, Guan Yuanrang has no intention of joining the army at this time, and the reason why he came back to Pingyuan County is just to understand the danger of Hengcheng and save his eldest brother's life.
Xiao Muqing's old face turned red, rubbed his hands and smiled, and looked at Guan Yuanji in embarrassment. Guan Yuan made this man too arrogant, arrogant and unreasonable, and wanted to pull him into the Plains Army and help him retreat from the enemy, so he could only start from his brother.
Guan Yuanji naturally understood what Xiao Muqing meant, but he was not an unreasonable big brother, and he would not force his brother to make a certain choice, he was silent for a while, and said: "Yuan Rang, Pingyuan County is our hometown, and the people of Pingyuan County are our villagers, and now at a critical juncture, the 200,000 troops of the barbarian state invade our county, we should do our best to protect our homeland and ensure the safety of the people!"
Guan Yuanrang smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Super fast big brother, don't worry, with me, the feudal barbarians will never step into Hengcheng half a step!"
Hearing him say this, Guan Yuanji put his mind at ease, as long as his brother is willing to contribute, it doesn't matter whether he joins the Plains Army or not.
The corners of Xiao Muqing's mouth moved, wanting to speak, but in the end she held back. He hopes in his heart that Guan Yuanrang can join the Plains Army, and now that Zhang Zhou is dead, there is just a lack of a corps commander, if Guan Yuanrang can take over this position, with his outstanding spiritual martial arts, he can completely raise the combat effectiveness of the Plains Army to a higher level, and he can also do more in the future, but Guan Yuan makes this person arrogant and unreasonable, if he is too tight, I am afraid it will backfire.
Guan Yuanrang looked around and didn't see his two brothers, he asked, "Big brother, what about Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao?"
"The two of them have gone with the Lord on an expedition to the Barbarian Capital!"
"Oh?" Xiao Muqing said this, Guan Yuanrang didn't believe it, but the eldest brother also said so, so he couldn't help but believe it. Could it be that Tang Yin really dared to go deep alone and sneak attack the capital of the barbarian state? This is incredible. At this time, Guan Yuanrang became interested in Tang Yin and wanted to see what kind of person he was.
I thought so in my heart, but he didn't say so, and muttered: "It's just that this county guard wants to find death by himself, and he has to pull my two brothers, if Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao have an accident, I will never spare him!"
Xiao Muqing's body was shocked when he heard this, and he secretly stuck out his tongue, while Guan Yuanji's face sank, and he scolded in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, don't talk nonsense, let alone be rude to adults!"
Seeing that the eldest brother's face was not good, Guan Yuanrang hurriedly bowed his head.
Back at the mansion of the official family in the city, everyone sat down as guests and hosts. Guan Yuan let the east look and look west, and felt that the family had changed a lot, and he thought that the eldest brother had become a deputy county guard, and the family could become richer, but he didn't expect that it was the opposite, there were not a lot of valuable things in the family, and the number of guards increased, but there were not a few servants left, and it was obvious that life was far worse than before.
When people become officials, they are getting richer and richer, and their eldest brother is getting poorer and poorer when they become officials, and Guan Yuanlet doesn't know whether he should cry or laugh, he paced in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
Everyone sat down for a short time, and the four corps commanders, Bai Yong, Zhu Nuo, Gu Yue, and Li Wei, also approached from outside, and also brought the casualty statistics of their own soldiers.
Every time they see the statistics of their own casualties, everyone feels a headache, especially today, after a whole day of hard fighting, the outer city wall has been captured by the enemy, and the Plains Army has suffered heavy casualties.
The five corps, originally 80,000 people, are now less than 40,000 soldiers who can still take up arms and fight, and most of the casualties are half, even those who can fight, almost all of them are wounded and exhausted, and their own combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced to this extent, can they still resist the strong attack of the barbarian army?
Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and was silent, Xiao Muqing said with a straight face: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of the barbarian army are even greater, not to mention that now we have a yuan...... Yuan let Brother assist, it will not be a problem to resist the enemy!"
Guan Yuanji said: "If the troops are really insufficient, I can organize the people in the city to assist our army in defending the city!"
Xiao Muqing hurriedly shook his head and said: "No! The people have not received formal training, let alone seen the bloodshed of the battlefield, if the people are allowed to fight with the barbarians on the battlefield, it will not only increase the casualties, but also break and flee in large numbers, affecting the morale of our army, increasing the arrogance of the barbarians, and the battle situation will be even more unfavorable to our army!"
After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, Guan Yuanji nodded, feeling that what he said was very reasonable, it was okay to let the people help transport a city defense facility, but it was indeed too risky to really organize the battlefield.
Juno snorted coldly and said, "If the county can send reinforcements, how can Hengcheng be in such a predicament?"
His words immediately resonated with everyone, at this time both sides were exhausted, both were at the end of the crossbow, as long as the county sent even 10,000 reinforcements, it was enough to reverse the situation of their own passivity.
Everyone was indignant, and only Qiu Zhenxin knew what was going on. He would not let go of the opportunity to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction, his eyes rolled, and he echoed: "Yu He is an insatiable villain, if we can send him a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, he may send reinforcements as soon as he is happy, without money, he will not care about the life and death of our Plains Army and the people of the Plains!"
"This dog officer!" Juno clenched his fist and slammed it down on the table.
Everyone was also full of blood and blood, and their eyes were spewing fire.
Guan Yuanrang walked into the house at this time, glanced around at everyone, and said quietly: "As soon as the barbarian army retreats, I will go to Shunzhou to get his dog's head!"
Guan Yuanji frowned, but before he could speak, several corps commanders had already answered: "Yes! Brother Yuanrang, we will accompany you then, and if we don't kill Yu He, the dog officer, I'm sorry for the soldiers who died in battle, and I'm even more sorry for General Zhang who died in the country!"
Under Qiu Zhen's understatement, everyone's hatred for the barbarian army was suddenly transferred to Yu He, and at this time, Yu He was still organizing troops in Shunzhou and preparing to reinforce Yancheng, and he didn't know that he had become the target of the soldiers of the Plains Army at this time.
Guan Yuan asked him to pull a chair and sit down, and said: "The barbarians are not afraid, and we don't have to stay in the city to defend it, and when the barbarians come to attack the city again tomorrow, I will go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
"This ......" Xiao Muqing groaned for a while, and said worriedly: "Brother Yuan Rang can't take it lightly, the barbarian army has a lot of troops, if you go out of the city to face the battle, I'm afraid of ......"
"Hmph!" Guan Yuanrang sneered, grabbed his three-pointed two-edged knife with his hand, and said: "What are you afraid of? Kill an enemy, just a knife stab, kill a group of enemies, just a knife wave, even if the enemy army is million, in my eyes, it is just a group of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered!"
This can be said to be crazy to the extreme, but Guan Yuanrang also has enough arrogant capital, on the battlefield, he has the courage of 10,000 invincibles, and in the future campaign, he did get the nickname of "10,000 enemies", and was named "undefeated general" by Tang Yin, a three-pointed two-edged knife, sweeping.
