In Liangzhou City, as the battle reports from the front continued to come back, everyone was already in danger.

Before, Taiwei Guo led the army to invade Xiangyang but was defeated by the Vietnamese army and retreated, which was enough to make people feel uneasy, and now I heard that a large number of cities have fallen one after another, and the enemy army is pressing forward step by step, and will soon reach the city of Liangzhou, which naturally makes people feel even more panicked.

If it weren't for the fact that the defenders of Liangzhou had been ordered to close the gates and not let anyone enter or leave at will, I am afraid that thousands of people would have fled the city in panic.

But even so, even if Guo Rin issued a strict order to stabilize the situation in the city, the atmosphere in Liangzhou City was still becoming more and more tense, and even the streets became deserted, and there were no people walking around.

"Sima, how is this good? If this continues, I'm afraid I don't have to wait for the enemy to arrive, and my Liangzhou City will have to mess up by itself. One of the officials spoke, and the others all looked at Guo Rin, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

After reaching a cooperation with Sun Xian, so that he also had a certain amount of power, Guo Rin officially became the undisputed existence in the Liangzhou court, and was also named the imperial court Sima.

However, the improvement of status and power naturally means an increase in responsibility, and when the people in the city are unstable and worried both inside and outside, everyone naturally expects him to solve the problem.

Guo Rin's face also darkened for a while, how could his father never encounter such a problem when he was in power. It's so unfair that it's changed to me, but there are constant problems.

He didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for such a big change, how would he have the opportunity to steal such a high position?

Exhaling a breath of turbidity in annoyance, Guo Rin said: "Then continue to send people and horses to keep an eye on the whole city, and don't let anyone talk nonsense and mess with our army's heart." In addition, I have sent someone to deliver a message to the front-line army, so that they can come back to defend against the enemy outside of Liangzhou!

"No matter how strong the army in the south is, it will come from afar after all, as long as we can cut off its grain and hold on for a while, we will not be able to attack ourselves!"

Although he said this countermeasure, everyone still had no bottom in their hearts.

In the absence of a real backbone, in the face of nearly ten times the enemy army, everyone is really not sure how long they can hold the Liangzhou army.

Only Gu Huaiyi, after coughing lowly, put forward one of his own opinions: "As far as the previous battle is concerned, our army has been losing and retreating, in the final analysis, because the troops are too scattered. Therefore, Sima, the lower officials thought that if they wanted to change all this, they should abandon the outer cities, gather all the soldiers and horses, and only defend one city in Liangzhou.

"In this way, we can be sure that we will hold out until the enemy runs out of food, or the front-line army will turn around and break the enemy."

When Guo Rin heard this, his eyes lit up, this is indeed the best way to defend Liangzhou at the moment. He's been worried about the lack of soldiers in the city lately.

But before he could nod, someone immediately raised an objection: "In this case, wouldn't you give up all the other cities and make my Liangzhou City a lonely city?"

"Not to mention whether this will make our situation more difficult, so that the enemy army will drive straight in, so as to besiege the city of Liangzhou. Just ask, even if we really repel the enemy army, what face will we have to go to the people of other cities again, and why should we let them pay us money, grain and taxes again, and let them take my Liangzhou as the mainstay? ”

This is indeed very reasonable, and all the officials nodded one after another.

Yes, a master who can't even protect the people under his rule, why should people be embraced?

Gu Huaiyi sneered: "Isn't this a choice that is forced by the situation and is in a hurry to obey the power?" I believe that we, the people under the rule of Liangzhou, can understand our difficulties.

"Over the years, they have gained a lot of benefits because they belong to my Liangzhou, and now it's time for them to pay. 33

"Moreover, isn't the enemy army that came to attack the so-called imperial army? In this case, their military discipline must be strict, and they will never commit any acts of cruelty to the people along the way. Therefore, the transfer of defenders from all over the country will not only not hurt the people, but will also give them better protection, which is really beneficial and harmless!

"Sima, Xia Guan thinks this plan is the most feasible, please don't worry about it anymore."

"Sima, think twice...... Once the hearts of people are lost, it is difficult to get them back. This is not a battle for one city and one place, but a battle for the hearts of the people of Liangzhou......" Someone immediately objected.

Guo Rin kept turning his thoughts in his heart, and soon, he made a choice.

For him now, what other cities, what the people of Liangzhou, are just things that cannot be seen in the future.

What can be seen is only the safety of Liangzhou City, he only knows that Liangzhou is not strong enough, once the enemy army really comes, he can't prevent it.

"You don't have to say any more, I've already made a decision!" Guo Rin said solemnly, "There are priorities, and for us at the moment, it is fundamental to hold Liangzhou." Since there are not enough troops, they should be repatriated from other places. According to what Lord Gu said, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to be transferred back to all cities within a hundred miles to defend Liangzhou! ”

With his decision, everyone couldn't say anything.

It's just that in the hearts of many people, they are lamenting that this time, Liangzhou has really reached the point of exhaustion.

It turns out that everyone doesn't care too much about Guo Rin in taking power, anyway, he is also the son of Taiwei, and he has made many achievements before, and his ability is not bad, it is better than Qunlong Wuyi.

Now, they know that compared to Yi, the young marshal is much stronger. At least the young marshal will not make such a ridiculous decision, and as long as the young marshal is in charge, no matter the will of the army and the people, it is impossible to be in such a mess as today.

Although Guo Rin couldn't see through what everyone was thinking, he could also see everyone's dissatisfaction with him, which made his already sensitive heart sink suddenly, and he immediately said: "What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't do what I say?"

"If you tell me to find out that you have different intentions and want to collude with foreign enemies, don't blame me for not being merciful!"

Under such intimidation, the officials could only claim to be right, and according to his Guo Rin's intentions, they went to arrange for the return of soldiers and horses from various cities.

Seeing that everyone finally retreated, Guo Rin breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to suppress them, but there was still a long way to go.

But at this moment, the people who should have left quickly suddenly stopped outside the hall, and there was a burst of exclamations. This made Guo Rin very annoyed, is this kind of behavior really not taking himself seriously?

"What's going on, what are you guys messing about?" As he spoke, he strode out, and had already made up his mind to make an example of a hundred people and beat a few people.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Old Five, you are so majestic!" ”

These words were quite plain, but when they came to Guo Rin's ears, he was shocked by the thunder, and the whole person was shocked, completely stunned.

Some people died, but not completely......
