Chapter 214: I Will Guard Yezhou (Second Watch)
This is not too surprising.
Especially in the Suguo Mansion, because Wei Cang had already guessed the actions of the Great Qi, no one in the family was surprised.
But their hearts are still a little heavy.
To fight a war is to die, to shed blood, to be sacrificed, and if you can, no one likes to fight.
Wei Cang didn't like it, and Wei Ji didn't like it either.
But there is no way, in today's world, it is who is powerful and who speaks, and only when all parties can be stalemate, or all are subdued, can peace be ushered in.
However, the king of Beiyue can't do it, and neither can the lord of Nanchen, if Daqi wants not to be swallowed up by Beiliang, he must take advantage of the winter when Beiliang soldiers are tired and lack of horses to occupy new territory.
The first one to do is naturally North Vietnam, which has been broken up by Sima Ling.
Now there are three forces in North Vietnam, the Wei Family Army led by Wei Cang, the Yu Family Army led by Yu Bing, and the North Vietnamese Army led by the North Vietnamese royal family.
Although the North Vietnamese army had the largest number of these three, they were all newly recruited after the war.
In recent years, North Vietnam has been very peaceful, and the mountain bandits in Taiji Mountain and other places have been repeatedly swept by the Wei Army, and there is no need for the North Vietnamese Army to do it, so that the Vietnamese Army has been raised very mediocre, and that's it.
The generals who could fight were all following Wei Cang and Yu Bing, and there were only a bunch of "young generals" in the North Vietnamese army who Sima Ling liked, and in this situation, it was simply the best opportunity for Daqi.
Therefore, this time they also chose Fengling, the only one garrisoned by the North Vietnamese Army, as the attack point, first used 10,000 people to attack Fengling Pass, and after Fengling Pass was defeated, they immediately transferred 50,000 elite soldiers to continue to attack the city.
The three state capitals of North Vietnam bordering the Great Qi were all rebuilt after the war, and all the walls were as tall as three stories high, and the tall walls became the biggest obstacle to the Great Qi army. But the North Vietnamese army panicked, the generals could not come up with the best military formation to meet the enemy, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and an urgent report was sent from Fengling to Yingzhou, but Daqi came prepared this time, the march was fast and urgent, and Fengling was in danger.
And Tongchuan and Longsui are not close to Fengling, and when they get the news, they will send it to Yezhou, and the people of Fengling have been besieged in the city by the elite soldiers of Daqi.
Before I finished reading this urgent report, the second urgent report arrived in Yingzhou.
This time, it was actually the letter soldiers of the Yu family army who sent the letter.
Longsui was closer to Fengling and was the first to get the news, so he immediately sent an urgent report to Yezhou.
But from Longsui to Yezhou, there was no post station of the Yu family's army, and the letter soldier rode back by himself, and when he arrived in Yezhou, his legs were covered with blood, and he fell into a coma when he handed the letter to the soldiers guarding the city.
When Wei Cang received this letter, the whole family happened to be sitting in the study, quietly waiting for the final decision.
Hearing that Long Sui also sent the letter, Wei Cang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
His laughter was low, but with a sense of confidence, as if everything was already under control.
He patted the emergency report on the table, and looked at everyone in the family with blazing eyes: "This time, we are going to fight." ”
"Not only for Yezhou, but also for Longsui, Fengling, and North Vietnam."
"We can't let Daqi go anymore."
The garrison stood up directly, beat his chest with his right hand, and marched the strength of the guard's army.
"Father, son is willing to lead the army."
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ying, Wei Yao and Wei Rong also stood up, all saluted, and said, "We are willing to lead the troops." ”
Wei Cang sighed, and then said, "Okay! ”
"Since Daqi dares to come, we will let him go and never return, aren't they greedy for the territory of North Vietnam? So this time, we're a little greedy, too. ”
"Not much, only big is enough."
Since it was decided to send troops, the entire Suguo Mansion was ready, and the garrison went directly to the camp in the western suburbs, and he had not returned home for three days, and Xie Zhiyun had also been busy at home, counting food, military uniforms and armaments, and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
After a flash of effort, three days passed.
On the fourth day, Xie Zhiyun finally had some free time, and was immediately called to Ronghua Hall.
Today, Wei Cang was finally at home, discussing the matter of defending the city with Wei Ying and Cui Ji, and as soon as Xie Zhiyun arrived, Wei Cang began to talk about business.
"Zhiyun, this time I will leave home with the eldest and third, leaving the second and your aunt at home to guard the city."
"The second child is a nerd, and your mother is not in good health, when our army is pulled, everything in the family will be handed over to you."
Xie Zhiyun was stunned.
She really didn't expect Wei Cang to trust her so much and give her such an important matter, which made her a little timid.
This is the life of a city person, can she do it well? Can she protect everyone?
Xie Zhijun didn't know, but when it came to the end, she couldn't be timid.
Seeing her hesitating, Wei Cang couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhiyun, you can do a good job, I believe in you." ”
"You read a lot of books, you are mature and steady, and you never panic when you encounter things, Yezhou needs such a city defender."
"Besides, it's not just you who are in charge, but also your mother, your aunt and your brother, and when that time comes, there will be the adjutant general in the army and the governor of the state governor's mansion and others who will all assist you."
Xie Zhiyun clenched his hands lightly, not immediately making up his mind.
Wei Cang said: "Zhiyun, although I can hand over Yezhou to others, but when I encounter a big event, they may not be as good as you." ”
Xie Zhiyun was read all the way in the Xie family's studies, and he was the first name every year, even if the gate valve clan has a lonely situation now, the family's origin and foundation will not be broken immediately.
Especially the current head of the Xie family is Xie Yuan, he is a very smart person, and he is also very clever to lead the Xie family to escape the world, and marry the Wei family, every step he takes is extremely correct in Wei Cang's opinion.
Xie Zhiyun has been married to Wei for nearly a year, and in this year, Wei Cang clearly saw her ability, her excellent mentality and political insight, and her brilliant mind and profound knowledge.
All of this needs to be accumulated in the tenth year of a door like the Xie family.
So even if he wants to go on the expedition now, Wei Cang's heart is not panicked.
There are so many people in the family, and they have not only been at home all these years, they are familiar with Yezhou and have good friends with the people, which is the most important thing.
No matter what happens, as long as someone leads everyone to work together, it will definitely be done.
Wei Cang looked at Xie Zhiyun: "Only, can you guard Yezhou?" ”
Xie Zhiyun's heart gradually stabilized, she was no longer panicked, she no longer hesitated, her gaze slowly swept over Wei Ying and Cui Ji's faces, and finally looked straight at Wei Cang.
"Father, I will guard Yezhou."
"You just have to go with confidence, don't worry about Yezhou."
