I got out of bed, put on my shoes, bent down and washed my face. Then I wiped it with a cloth and watched Qin Fang put on a robe for me. After putting on his belt, he asked, "Madam, do you know what is written on that bamboo slip?" Yesterday I was so sleepy that I fell asleep while lying down. ”

Qin Fang picked up the bamboo slip and read, "Ministry of Works, I request that in the vacant land in the city, private houses be built so that the displaced people can have a place to settle down. The silver required is two thousand, and the word Tian Kang is mentioned at the end of the road, "I will listen to the post" is accurate. "I never cared about the selection of the six. After all, these are all talents selected from Juxiantang after layers of testing to prevent people from being confused.

Qin Fang folded the bamboo slips together again, "Xianggong, the military division came just now, and I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't bother." I waited in the inner hall for a while and left. Before leaving, let the concubine tell you that Linyi City has been taken."

Linyi City is completely in my pocket, because when Wang Bing came to attack Fengwu City, he almost came out of the city. I'm afraid that the defenders in the city are not even a thousand, and I asked Hong Zhentian to take Wang Bing's head and three thousand men and horses just to let the soldiers defending the city understand. took the initiative to open the city to surrender to avoid senseless killing, but I have a headache when I take Linyi City.

First, if I go to Linyi City, who should Fengwu City hand over? And even if I go to Linyi, how can I get rid of the drawbacks left by Wang Bing's management of Linyi City for many years? Forget it, I'll go to Ma Huayun to discuss.

Then he hugged Qin Fang and said, "Madam, I'm going to the barracks." You wait for me at home," Qin Fang bowed his head and said, "Xianggong, you don't have to report to me, this makes the concubine feel a little uncomfortable." "I think it's true, it's a patriarchal society. A man can have three wives and four concubines to spend all day drinking.

And the woman can only take care of the housework at home and cannot interfere in her husband's affairs. After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he and Lin Qi rode straight to the barracks on a fast horse, and Ma Huayun was putting out the map and looking back and forth. After seeing me, he saluted and said, "The general is here for Linyi City?" I nodded, "How does the military advisor know that I am here for Linyi City?"

Ma Huayun avoided talking about this, pointed to the map, and said: "Linyi City is very prosperous, but it has been boiled by Wang Bing's public grievances, and a large number of people have even fallen into the grass." Now the people of Linyi City probably don't care who manages Linyi. And the general should be here today to let someone guard Fengwu City, right?"

I also looked at the map and said, "It will take a day and a night from Linyi to Fengwu City at the earliest, so our army can only march into Linyi City for the sake of future development." However, Fengwu City is also equivalent to the base camp of our army, and the people's hearts have just stabilized. So I'm in a dilemma right now."

After hearing this, Ma Huayun smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? I'm afraid that the general has already chosen someone in his heart." If my guess is correct, the general plans to let Hong Zhentian sit in Fengwu City, right?" "The reason why I came to ask Ma Huayun who will sit in Fengwu City is because I want Hong Zhentian to manage it.

But after all, Hong Zhentian was born in the military camp, so it was okay for him to fight and kill, if he was allowed to guard a city. I don't know if he can do it, and even if he can, what if he doesn't want to do it? I can't force him to do it with a knife, Ma Yun seems to have guessed my concerns.

After taking two steps back and forth, he stopped and said, "What does the general think of Bai Yi?" As soon as I heard it, I remembered the person who had fought with Li Yun for dozens of rounds when I first entered Fengwu City, this person had guarded Fengwu City for many years, and his personality was bold and vicious. It stands to reason that he is indeed the best candidate to defend the city, but his temper is a little irritable.

Then I told Jack Ma about the concerns in my heart. Ma Huayun looked at me and said, "People inevitably have some shortcomings, and if a general wants to achieve a great cause, he should be a good person." However, the general's concern is not unreasonable, I have a way to cure Bai Yi's temper. ”

After hearing this, I nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is true, but what is the specific method that the military advisor said?" Ma Huayun pretended to be mysterious, "General, don't wait until you know." Then he summoned a soldier to pass Bai Yi and sat down with me to drink tea. After about a cup of tea, Bai Yi pushed the door in armor and saluted, "The general is good, the military advisor is good." I don't know what to look for?"

Ma Huayun put down the teacup and got up and said, "Let you be the city lord of Fengwu City." Do you want to do it?" Bai Yi knelt down directly when he heard this, and said, "General, what do you mean by this?"

"Brother Bai, where are you talking, what the military advisor said is exactly what I thought in my heart. Now Linyi City has been taken down by our guards, but if I enter Linyi, Fengwu City doesn't know who to hand it over. But for the sake of the guards, I can only enter Linyi City in the future, so I called you here today to ask you. Do you have the confidence to be a good city lord?"

After hearing this, Bai Yi put his heart back in his stomach and said with a smile: "I'm scared to death, I have the confidence to protect Fengwu City, but I can't even think of the position of this city lord." Please don't force me, general." Ma Huayun also shook his head after hearing this

"That's the only way, I'll give you a thousand people, and you'll be responsible for guarding Fengwu City, and you can also recruit soldiers on your own at that time. The affairs of the six departments will be led by a leader, and if there is anything that cannot be solved, it will be sent to Linyi. However, during Bai Yi's defense of the city, you have to change your impatient temper, after all, the people's hearts have just stabilized now. If someone tells me that you are willful and reckless. Don't blame me for the military law when the time comes."

When Bai Yi heard this, he felt as if he had suffered great humiliation, and replied on the spot, "I, Lao Bai, am definitely not the kind of person that the military advisor said. Ma Huayun saw that the effect had been achieved, and he was also busy saying, "How to prove it?" Bai Yi said to the soldiers outside the door after hearing this: "Brother, please take off the pen and ink, and set up a military order according to Lao Bai to the military division, if you are willful during the defense of the city, the military advisor can behead me at that time, and I will never complain." ”

The soldier outside the door looked at Ma Huayun, and Ma Huayun waved his hand and motioned for him to go. I came out and said, "Brother Bai, this is a bit serious, it's not that we don't believe you.

Bai Yi was anxious when he heard this, "General, I must stand." A manly man who speaks his word". I looked at Ma Huayun and thought to myself what you have provoked others, Bai Yi took his leave after setting up the military order. I also asked Ma Yun to prepare and make a good deployment, and inform the soldiers that the whole army will set off for Linyi City tomorrow.

On the day of leaving, the people in the city sent each other one after another, and for a time they almost surrounded the city gate. Seeing the reluctance in their eyes, I sat in the carriage and could only lower the curtains. Holding Qin Fang in his arms, he ordered the two thousand soldiers behind him to march out. Lin Qi was dressed in white armor, holding a spear and riding a war horse to open the way in front.

The battalion of guards guarded both sides of the carriage and horses, since fate had given me the opportunity to do it again. Then I must go all out to live him vigorously. After leaving the city gate, I raised the curtain of the car and looked at the neat soldiers behind me. Most of them were refugees from all over the country, and now they have become regular soldiers after being trained by the guards.

Qin Fang looked at me and stopped talking, and kept grabbing the corner of my clothes with her hands. I finally mustered up the courage to say, "Xianggong is reluctant?" I looked back into her eyes and said, "Madam, what about you, do you regret leaving Fengwu City with me?" She leaned her head on my arms, put her arms around me, and said firmly, "Where will Xianggong go in this life, where will the concubine go." Even if Huangquan Biluo concubine body will accompany him."

I hugged the silly girl in my arms tightly, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about? Even if you meet me one day, I really encounter ......" Before the word was spoken, I felt that her mouth was kissed by her, and this was the first time she took the initiative to kiss me. Then he looked at me and said, "Xianggong, promise me that nothing will happen to me." As long as you are safe and sound. ”

I was about to speak, and the carriage suddenly stopped, and Ma Huayun ordered the whole army to be on alert. Then he rode to the front of the car and said, "The road ahead of the general is blocked by stones. Yesterday there was no such thing". I got out of the carriage and looked at the rocks not far ahead, and the woods on both sides. It should have been deliberately placed by many people.

Just as he was about to instruct the soldiers to go to the front, a thousand enemy troops, some armed with wooden sticks, poured out from behind the rocks and on both sides of the woods. Some were holding wooden shovels, while others were holding stones directly. All of them are yellow and thin, as if they have been hungry for a few days, and there are many old and young women and children. Looking at the officials and soldiers in front of them, their eyes were full of hatred, just a few days ago, when Wang Bing did not give the order to attack Fengwu City, they were still honest people.

But with the arrival of Wang Bing's army, everything turned into nothingness, and the relatives in front of him fell one by one. The house was also turned into a sea of fire, and everywhere came the cries of women and the lewd laughter of officials and bandits. These are the people who survived the catastrophe and watched their loved ones being slaughtered. His wife was ravaged but could only hide in the cellar and endure it.

So they crawled out of the cellar after the bandits and officers left, and many people collapsed directly when they looked at everything in front of them. The rest of the men gathered together, and along the way, they killed lone officers and bandits. Even Wang Cang and others, who fled in panic, were killed by him.

I looked at them, perhaps because they were afraid, so they did not take the initiative to attack in the face of so many officers and soldiers. I asked Lin Qi to escort me a few steps forward, and then ordered the soldiers behind me to stand by. Looking at the group of people in front of him who were forced to rebel by the officers and soldiers, he said, "I am Wei Feng, the city lord of Fengwu City. I'm sure some of you have heard of it.

I know that everyone was forced by Wang Bing, but now Wang Bing's head has been taken off by our guards. So don't be afraid, let go of what you have. Move away the stones, let's go back to Linyi City together, and I, Weifeng, promise to give you a place to live. ”

After hearing this, some of the more than 1,000 refugees put down their sticks, and some hesitated. I stepped forward a few more steps, and Lin Qi said, "General, don't, in case you ......" Qin Fang had already gotten off the carriage at this time, and his heart was raised. I can't stop praying.

I knew what he was worried about, so I waved my hand. At this moment came a man from among the refugees, tall with bronzed skin. The muscles and bones of the whole body protruded, and there were a pair of calloused hands, holding a sword in one hand.

He came up to me and asked, "What you said is true, are you really Wei Feng?" I nodded and asked, "You know me?" He looked at the soldiers behind me, all in place, and they were standing alone across from him.
