In Gaoliu City, a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe was hurrying into the county office.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the county government were accustomed to it, and just bent down and saluted.

When the man was gone, the county officials dared to speak.

"It stands to reason that this Li County Order has been in our county for ten years, so how can he still act so vigorously." A county magistrate spoke.

"Li County Order, this person is not bad, I think it is much stronger than the previous county orders, didn't you see that Li County Order's clothes were stained with a lot of mud? I think I'm busy going to the countryside to look at the crops again."

"Not to mention, the taxes collected by the Li County Commander after his arrival in office are much less than those collected by the previous county orders. You can't deny that, can you?"

"What Uncle Sun said is that this Li County Commander is indeed a good person." The younger county magistrate nodded.

In good conscience, since the Li County Order came to Gaoliu, the life of the people in the county has indeed been much better.

It's just that the days of these errand men are more miserable than before.

After all, although the previous county order was greedy, and the tax collection from the people in the county was cleverly established, it could be passed from them, no matter how much, they would always be able to slip some out.

But now that it has been replaced by Li County, a Qing official in charge, they have no extra income, so they naturally have to tighten their belts to live.

These little people can't share a few dollars, and if they can't make money, they can't make money. But those who can earn a lot of money naturally have a grudge in their hearts.

I heard that the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were a little dissatisfied before, and I thought that if it weren't for the fact that Li County Ling had a clear reputation, I was afraid that he would have been put in the air a long time ago and asked him to sit alone.

Above the place, in fact, the officials may not fight too much.

At this time, Gaoliu County ordered Li Yan to enter the county office, and he didn't even have time to change the clothes on his body, so he immediately turned around and ordered the old servant behind him, "Go and invite the messenger in."

The old servant turned around, he had followed Li Yan for many years, and knew that his master was an anxious man, so he had already let the messenger wait outside the door.

When he brought people in, Li Yan was patting the dirt on his body with his hands.

Li Yan glanced at the visitor, and saw that this person was dressed in a short beard suit, with a medium build, and he looked quite shrewd and capable.

"I heard you're here to tell me? Who assigned it, and what message was it? Is there a letter?" Li Yan asked directly.

The person who delivered the letter shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The owner of my family's surname is Zhang Mingfei Yide, and he is from Zhuo County, Zhuo County. The head of my family guessed that these people might have come for Takayanagi Castle, so he asked me to come here and remind the city to be more vigilant."

"People from Zhuoxian." Li Yan was silent for a moment when he heard this, there was no omission in what this person said, there were often some big businessmen in the border areas who came to sell horses outside the Saiwai, and it was common to meet Xianbei people in the border areas.

"Though I have not been here often, Xianbei has always been only good at plundering, not besieging cities. In addition, the high walls of Gaoliu City are solid, and every time Xianbei comes south over the years, he has to detour from here."

"How do you suddenly want to bump into it now? Moreover, if Xianbei did not come, and the city was too careful, I was afraid that it would damage the people's strength. But I've written everything down, and I'm sure I'll make the county officials be careful." Li Yan said with a smile.

The man who reported the news was surnamed Zhang, and he had also followed Zhang Fei to the north and south over the years, and he was the most observant of words and feelings.

Now that I see Li Yan's expression, I don't know that this person didn't take his words to heart. Even if it is not perfunctory, it may not be really taken to heart.

Zhang Yi didn't say much, and left the county office as soon as he said goodbye.

This time Zhang Fei sent him to remind him that he was already benevolent and righteous to be able to do this, and as for how this county commander would act, it was not something that he could control as a small horse dealer.

What's more, what this person said also has some truth, Xianbei will come to attack Gaoliu City, it is just his speculation. If this county order really listens to their words and guards it with great fanfare, it will be timely

But if he does not do what they say, then he will bear a great deal of responsibility.

At this time, Zhang Yi had already walked out of the door and went straight to the city gate, and now that the matter here has been over, he naturally wants to go back to Zhang Fei, but when he walked to the city gate, he was stopped.

The man who stopped him was not good-looking, but his face was quite serious.

"Someone from Youzhou?" The man asked with a smile.

Zhang Yi naturally didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Who is Lang Jun?"

The man smiled: "I am the old man of your family, this is not the place to talk, you and I will change to another place."

Zhang Yi wanted to refuse, but at this time, he was already pinched by this person's shoulder, this person's hand was extremely strong, and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Come with me." The man laughed, and pulled Zhang Yi into a secluded alley on the side.

"You said that you are the deceased of my family master, what proof do you have?" Zhang Yi asked.

"It's true that I haven't met the head of your family, but I have proof."

The man took out a copper hammer from his arms, Zhang Yi glanced at the copper hammer in his hand, immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to listen to Lang Jun's dispatch."

He has been following Zhang Fei for a long time, and naturally knows that his family master also carries such a bronze hammer, and the patriarch has also told them that if he encounters someone with this bronze hammer in the future, then this person's order is the order of the family master.

The man smiled, "I don't think this thing is really useful, Xuande didn't lie to me that day."

Seeing him mention Liu Bei, Zhang Yi believed in the identity of this person a little, but he still couldn't help but ask, "I don't know Lang Jun's name?"

The man had already taken the bronze into his arms, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Hanoi, Gao Shun."

…………

After sending Zhang Yi away, Li Yan was about to change out of his muddy clothes.

Today, when he was walking in the fields, he found a lot of problems that he had not found before, and since he had discovered them, he naturally had to think of ways to solve them.

It's just that before he could take off his clothes, the servant outside the door walked in again, "County gentleman, there is someone outside the door who asks to see him."

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, in the past, he didn't see anyone visit for ten days and a half months, but today there are visitors one after another.

It's just that he had learned from Zhang Yi's previous experience, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly asked the old servant to invite this person in.

The visitor was naturally Gao Shun, who had stopped Zhang Yi at the city gate before.

"I've seen Li Xianjun." Gao Shun saluted.

Li Yan looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile, "I don't know why you're visiting? Judging by your accent, it doesn't look like a Takayanagi person."

Gao Shun said with a smile: "In Xia Gaoshun, he is indeed not from Gaoliu, and this time he is also here to relieve Li Xianjun's worries."

"Coming for me?" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, "What worries do I need you to help me solve?" Why don't I know?"

"It's been a few days since Gao Liu came down, and I heard a lot of deeds about Li Xianjun from the people in the county, and I knew that Li Xianjun was a rare good official, and I didn't want Li Xianjun to suffer, so I came here to share my worries for Li Xianjun." Gao Shun said with a smile.

"Just now Li Xianjun has already heard what Zhang Yi said, I don't know how the county jun plans to deal with it?"

"So you're here for the sake of the genius." Li Yan nodded clearly, "I have already written down the matter of the party, and I will tell the county lieutenant to strengthen the vigilance in the county and be more strict about the affairs in the city. Takayanagi Fortress, even if Xianbei attacks, it is not terrible to think about."

He wasn't talking nonsense, but he was going to do it. Although he is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows that this kind of thing would rather be believed than not existed.

Gao Shun shook his head, "Li Xianjun's thoughts are naturally not bad, but things are not as simple as Xianjun thinks. Since the county magistrate took office, has he ever organized a military drill for the county magistrates?" Gao Shun asked.

"Naturally, there have been drills, and there are training exercises in each pavilion every year." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Then I don't know what Li Xianjun thinks of the soldiers in the county?" Gao Shun asked again.

Li Yan was originally a scholar in the Central Plains, and he didn't know anything about the military, but he only knew that when he was training, the soldiers looked quite majestic, and he was a little

After hesitating, he said, "The soldiers in the county are quite strong, and they should be good at fighting if they want to fight."

"Li Xianjun doesn't know about military affairs." Gao Shun shook his head, "Shun has been in the county for a few days, those county soldiers just look strong, but no matter how strong the cattle and sheep are, they are cattle and sheep after all, and if they encounter Menghu, they will be crushed at the touch." If Li Xianjun plans to appoint them to defend the city, he will take the lives of the people in the county as a child's play."

Li Yan was silent.

In fact, he couldn't figure out the reality of the county pawn's combat power in his heart, but he had no other way than to rely on the county pawn at this time.

Gao Shunzi also saw his hesitation, and said with a smile: "So Shun is here for Li Jun to help Li Jun this time."

[In view of the general environment,

Li Yan looked at the person in front of him again and asked, "How can you help me?"

Gao Shun smiled, "I naturally can't do anything by myself. But I didn't come alone, and I came with many of my brothers in life and death, and what are their abilities? Li Xianjun can wait a while."

The two of them sat in the room and waited, and after a few moments the servant of the doorman rushed in from outside.

"The county gentleman, the county gentleman is not good, a group of strong men came from nowhere at the gate of Xicheng, it is very tight, the county guard guarding the gate is not an opponent, and now the gate of Xicheng has been occupied by these people. The county lieutenant led people to attack several times, but he was defeated by these people, and the county lieutenant was also captured by this group of people."

Li Yan glanced at Gao Shun, and Gao Shun nodded at him.

Li Yan sighed, it seems that this person is indeed here to help him, otherwise if this Gao Shun is really a fellow party of Xianbei people, he only needs to open the city gate at this time.

"In that case, then the defense of the county will be entrusted to Gao Jun."

"It's just that if Xianbei really attacks, I don't know what Gao Jun's plans are?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

"Li Xianjun is at ease, as long as the Xianbei people dare to come to this Gaoliu City, they will definitely have no return."

…………

Since Zhang Fei and Lu Bu joined forces on the day of the battle, the two have teamed up to deal with several lone Xianbei rangers in the past few days, and have created a lot of Jingguan at the border.

Although the two of them are brave, there are fewer people under them, and it is more than enough to deal with the lone Xianbei people, but it is inevitably a little difficult to deal with those Xianbei people with a large number of people.

They came along the road, but they were getting closer and closer to Takayanagi City.

Fighting side by side, both of them know each other a lot.

Lu Bu naturally sighed at the prosperity of Liu Bei's talents, first there was the red-faced Guan Yu, and then there was this ring-eyed Zhang Fei, martial arts may not be under him, this Zhang Fei used troops to like to use risks, but he knew a lot about the location, and they were able to easily annihilate the Xianbei people a few times along the way, thanks to Zhang Fei's good use of land.

Lu Bu felt this, and Zhang Fei naturally also sighed.

This Lu Bu doesn't talk about his temperament, his martial arts are really powerful, and this person is very good at using cavalry, and he is good at seizing the opportunity to rush into battle, but I am afraid that very few people can resist.

So now although the two have some sympathy for each other, they are also a little jealous of each other.

"Xuande is really lucky to have you and Guan Yu to help."

On this day, when they were marching, Lu Bu came to Zhang Fei's horse and smiled.

Zhang Fei turned his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Feng Xian's words are wrong, it is not a blessing for my brother. My second brother and I met my brother, which was a blessing for both of us. If there was no Liu Xuande, there would be no Guan and Zhang today."

Lu Bu smiled, and suddenly said, "I heard that now Xuande is living in a simple place on the Wushi Mountain outside Luoyang City, and you have done such a big thing at the border, I am afraid that it will have an impact on Xuande's affairs in Luoyang."

"When things come to an end, you can't hide from them." Zhang Fei smiled, "Besides, if my brother is here, he will definitely make the same choice as me."

Lu Bu smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

He suddenly remembered the meeting he had with Liu Bei and Guan Yu when he was in Hanoi that day.

so-called

This kind of thing has always been used as a shackle by them, the "savages" of the state.

Affection makes them like human beings, but they are supposed to be beasts roaring in the wasteland.

He glanced at Wei Xuhou Cheng and the others, if he really came to a crisis in the future, I don't know how many people around him would follow him? When it came to life and death, these people couldn't say that they would stab him in the back a few more times.

Lu Bu shook his head, smiled, and stopped thinking about it. He is such a person himself, how can he force others.

Zhang Fei suddenly reined in the horse, and it turned out that there was a horse galloping not far away.

Perhaps because of the day and night, the horse fell to his knees in a forward lunge halfway through the race, and the knight on the horse tumbled down from his horse, and for a moment could not get up.

Zhang Fei hurriedly dismounted and helped the man up.

This person is Zhang Yi who was sent by Zhang Fei to the city to report the news, and rushed back to report the news at this time.

Zhang Yida exhaled and took a few breaths, and then he explained the matter in Gaoliu City to Zhang Fei and the others in detail.

"Gao Shun?" Zhang Fei frowned, his brother did mention this person in the letter, but why did he appear in Gaoliu City.

"It turns out that Gao Shun is in Gaoliu City, so our chances of victory are much greater." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fei asked.

Lu Bu smiled, "Yide has never seen the foot soldier trained by Gao Shun, but when I was in Hanoi, my eyes were very hot."

And the foot soldier in Lu Bu's mouth is called trapping.
