After listening to this, everyone was silent, and they understood in their hearts that yesterday the commander personally led the men and horses out of the city to meet the battle, but the whole army was annihilated, so that the morale of the Shouyang army fell to the bottom.

Outside the window, the raindrops crackled on the plantain leaves, and the people sitting in the room felt as heavy as the raindrops hitting their hearts, and no one said anything for the half-sound.

Yu Zhong stood up gently, stroked his beard and said, "Colleagues, Yu doesn't know whether to say something or not, and he is really embarrassed in his heart. ”

Huang Xuan said: "Why is Ziyuan so polite, we have worked together for so many years, what can't we say?" ”

"Ziyuan has something to say, please speak directly, no need to scruples." Tian Bang urged.

"Okay, in that case, with all due respect, I don't know if you have thought about it, although the thief army of the six towns today is very powerful, but in fact it is not the biggest hidden danger in my Shouyang City, now my Shouyang City is surrounded by enemies on three sides, Tuyuhun, Huqiang, and Dangxiang are eyeing Shouyang, and my Shouyang Army can't move at its moment, the reason why the army of the three clans did not take my pond land, in fact, it is afraid that all forces will be involved in the simultaneous dispatch of troops to seize Shouyang City into a melee, and now the thief army is attacking my county, if our army does not win, Tuyuhun, Huqiang, and Dangxiang will immediately send troops, If General Shi's Beifu army is implicated in the Shouyang War, the Western Wei Dynasty will also fall into the well. So I'm in danger too. ”

Gou sighed: "Ziyuan said very much, what should I do now!" ”

Tian Bang stopped and said to Gou: "Xianyuan doesn't need to panic, since Ziyuan said that there must be some countermeasures, I will listen carefully." "Xianyuan is the word for reluctance.

Yu Zhong turned his head to Han Chong and said: "The little general is here today, let me ask a word, because the general is now critically injured, Han Xun and Han Qu are unfortunately killed, and now the Han family has only one little general who can be the director, I hope the little general will answer me truthfully." ”

Han Chong is Han Xun's nephew, who has just turned sixteen this year, and hurriedly got up and said when he heard Yu Zhong's words: "Uncle Yu has something to ask, and the little nephew answers truthfully." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, I said, if the general doesn't wake up, what does the little general think I should do now?"

Han Chong's heart was shocked, he was at a loss, Han Xun was the brother of the great commander Han Qiong, usually Han Qiong treated Han Chong as his own, and suddenly heard Yu Zhong explain that Uncle Han Qiong was fierce and unlucky, and his heart couldn't help but be sad: "Please Uncle Yu teach me." ”

Yu Zhong walked lightly to the bamboo curtain, the rain outside the courtyard became heavier and heavier, and the wind blew in with some rain to make people feel a little cool. "I am not a native of the Great Zhou, my home is in Yangzhou, and I have stayed in the house because of the great commander's pity, although the commander has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, although he has worked hard to manage the affairs of the civil affairs and the lack of martial affairs, it is really difficult to protect the Xiguan important land for the Great Zhou, in fact, King Jing also understands very well in his heart that there is no good candidate, the great commander has been working hard to support the military strength over the years or is getting weaker and weaker, if it is long at this time, it will inevitably lead to the Great Zhou. Today, I have a good word for you, if according to what I said, Shouyang City can not only be safe and worry-free, maybe it will be a powerful frontier. ”

Huang Xuan hurriedly said: "Ziyuan will come quickly." ”

"Keep Long Yi and his brothers!"

Tian Bang was so excited that he got up with the case: "Ziyuan and I have no idea and the same thing, the commander entrusted the affairs of Shouyang to me when he was dying, but my ability is limited and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, that day I met Long Yi in the tavern and knew that this person is not a thing in the pool, he will one day be a hidden dragon out of the abyss and dominate the world, all of his subordinates are extraordinary people, with three hundred horses to defeat more than 10,000 enemies, such as we entrust Shouyang military affairs to him will ensure that my Xiguan is as stable as Mount Tai." ”

"I think that's great, but how is it arranged?" Gou asked.

"We can let Long Yi temporarily take the position of General Han Xun's General Wei, but Fang Ping has to hurry up and write a good report to King Jing." Huang Xuan suggested.

"Good!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"I'll go to the Long Yi brothers to discuss." Tian Bang rushed out of the door.

In the evening, the rain stopped, and a golden sunset filled the sky, and the earth was shrouded in a blush. Xia Mang's big tent through the barracks shone on Long Yi, Li Xin, and Meng Yanchi, as if it was covered with a layer of ruiguang.

"Brother Li, Xiao Chi, just now Tian joined the army and came to me to talk in detail, wanting to entrust the military affairs of Shouyang City to me, I didn't agree immediately, I want to hear your opinions."

Meng Yanchi shouted: "Dragon head, why don't you agree to such a good thing immediately?" ”

Li Xin glanced at Meng Yanchi and said cautiously: "I know that Brother Yi is worried in his heart, you are afraid that once you accept the entrustment, we will inevitably be involved in this war, so we can no longer live a carefree and peaceful life like in the ranch." ”

Long Yi sighed: "Brother Li still understands me!" ”

Meng Yanchi is not a stupid person, and he understands a little when he hears it, and says: "Dragon head, in fact, we have inevitably been involved in the conquest and war since we came to rescue Shouyang City, and we can't hide if we want to." ”

Li Xin couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this: "Brother Yi, it's you who ignore the life and death of the people of Shouyang and Li and avoid entering Hehu Mountain." But we have thousands of horses in the pasture, countless minerals, and we will always be known in the future, and at that time which force will not be red-eyed, and when the army arrives, we will not be able to cut the fish and meat on the steaming board, or now we want to give up the 'Shenma Ranch' to be a good citizen, I think it is too late, with the current scale of the 'Shenma Ranch' is not something we can give up if we want to, and the way out for thousands of people is in our hands. ”

"I also know what you said, but I feel aggrieved and panicked." Long Yi walked to the tent gate and saw that the six Han Black Mountain and the six Han Tiger were leading the snow wolf to sprint back and forth on the school field outside the camp, and it looked even more murderous in the afterglow of the sunset.

Li Xin said again: "Brother Yi, the three of us have lived a peaceful life since childhood, and we are naturally very repulsed by such bloody battles, but if the Hu people attack Shouyang, they will definitely be safe to Daocheng, what do you say will happen at that time?" ”

Meng Yanchi was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "You must not tolerate that kind of thing happening." ”

Long Yi smiled: "If you want that to happen, you must ensure that Shouyang City is foolproof." ”

"That's it, we can't help ourselves, although we can't kill it, but once we can't avoid it, we can only stop the war with war, while there is still a chance now, we must work together to defend Shouyang, otherwise we will regret it too late when Shouyang City falls."

"Yes, if I don't kill people in this era, everyone will kill me, so let's stop the war with war, so that the people of Li can get rid of suffering as soon as possible and live a stable life." Long Yi finally showed his determination.

The next day, under the auspices of Tian Bang, Long Yi took over the seal and acted as a general to lead the Shouyang army. Because the commander is separated, the ceremony is simple, but when the people of Shouyang heard this, they were thunderous, because the snow wolf riding name of Long Yi was praised in the hearts of the people of Shouyang as the heavenly soldier who saved the world, so the whole Shouyang City was a joyful scene, as lively as the New Year, and swept away the gloom of the siege of the thieves of the six towns.

The first thing Long Yi did when he took office was to discuss with Tian Bang and others to let Shouyang City accept refugees. Shouyang City is located at a military stronghold, and the Shouyang people alone cannot enhance the strength of the Shouyang army. If the homeless people are accommodated and the population of Shouyang City increases, then the number of people who cultivate more food will be guaranteed, and then the Shouyang Army will have a wide range of soldiers, and strong men can be selected to enlist in the army, so that the combat power of the Shouyang Army will also increase. Yu Zhong felt that it made a lot of sense, and immediately conveyed the order to implement it.

Successively some refugees from the north and south who were affected by the war fled into Shouyang, and the government posted notices to open warehouses to help the people, and all the refugees who entered Shouyang City could reclaim wasteland in the county with seeds and farming tools, and the collected grain was handed over to the military command, and the rest was kept for private use. As soon as the notice came out, the refugees were so happy that they passed it on, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and more and more refugees came to Shouyang City, and the people of Shouyang were willing to do their best to support them when they saw that helping refugees could reduce or reduce taxes. When the refugees who had nowhere to escape heard about this, they went on the road to gather in Shouyang City, and Tian Bang and Yu Zhong carefully resettled them one by one, trying their best to meet Long Yi's requirements so that the refugees who came to the country "have food to eat and a house for everyone to live in". It didn't take long for the population of Shouyang City to surge to more than 200,000, and the population was close to Yijing.

In the palace of the king of Yijing, King Jing convened all the officials to discuss the matter, King Jing Liu Huan held a letter of urgent military report: "This time to invite the family to come, it is the king of the Shouyang military command of the latest military situation, the six towns thief army Ge Yuantong led an army of 100,000 to raid Shouyang, has now broken through the Dieshi Pass, Shouyang City is in danger, Han Qiong asked for rescue, this king wants to discuss a proper solution with the Zhongqing family." ”

The book ordered Xu Jinhuai to come out and play: "King, this time the thief army of the six towns is menacing, Shouyang is afraid that there will be more than one luck, so it is better to ask the general Shi Muzhong to lead the troops to the rescue." Prime Minister Li Jian hurriedly came out and said: "The king must not, General Shi has been a little difficult to contain the Western Wei army in Qinzhou, if the general is sent to Shouyang, the eastern front defense will inevitably be driven into by the Western Wei army, so the Great Zhou will die in a few days, this method must not be used." ”

King Jing nodded: "The prime minister is polite, can the prime minister have a perfect plan?" "King, now the situation in Shouyang is critical, Han Qiong's qualifications are mediocre and he can't cope with it, so Shouyang is in danger, and if Shouyang is broken, the hinterland of Dazhou will be completely exposed in the eyes of the enemy, and the three clans of the Hu people will definitely rush to attack Yijing. Now the plan is to find someone in Wangcheng to lead the reinforcements to Shouyang, and lead the Shouyang army to hold Shouyang City, according to the habit of the thief army in the six towns, if it can't be attacked for a long time, it will withdraw the army. ”

"The prime minister said very much, I want to choose one person to be the governor to lead the troops to rescue Shouyang, but there is no good candidate." King Jing's words fell too comforting, Dai Wen came out and said: "King, the minister recommends one person, and the Dongcheng guard general has martial arts and can be a big responsibility." Li Jian frowned deeply when she heard this, but finally did not speak. King Jing also thought for a long time and finally reluctantly agreed: "Okay, it's him, although Shouyang Han Qiong is a mediocre talent, Tian Bang and Yu Zhong are still very talented, and there should be no problem with him assisting Shan Xingzhang to stick to Shouyang City." ”
