Chapter 224: Defending the City (Three Watches)

No matter what Sima Ling thought, since he had chosen his throne, they no longer had to retain the last dignity.

The enemy had already been slaughtered under the city gates, and they did not have to think about anything other than to protect the people and defeat the enemy.

Xie Zhiyun came out of the Suguo Mansion, turned over directly on his horse, and went to the State Pastoral Mansion with Wei Ying and others.

General Zhou and other generals were waiting in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and as soon as Xie Zhiyun and the others arrived, everyone entered the council hall together.

Xie Zhiyun invited General Zhou and Wei Ying to sit down at the top, and then looked at the main general: "Generals, what do you think?" ”

At this time, you need to be united, but everything with two hearts can no longer be reused.

Zhou Chenglin's expression was serious, and he said: "For today's plan, the only way is to defend the city, protect the people, and resist the enemy." ”

This was said very clearly, and it coincided with Wei's thoughts, and Xie Zhiyun's gaze swept over several generals one by one, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Wei family army is of one mind, and there are no two-minded people.

Xie Zhiyun nodded and looked at Zhou Chenglin: "Old general, I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to fight, so the important matter of defending the city to meet the enemy will be handed over to you and your aunt." ”

Zhou Chenglin's face was full of seriousness: "Young lady, rest assured." ”

Xie Zhiyun looked at the generals, his voice was low, but with an unquestionable momentum.

"When the Sima clan was in danger of his family and country, he stabbed the loyal ministers who defended the family and the country, and he no longer had the heart to protect North Vietnam, and there must be villains around His Majesty to instigate it, so that he made such a wrong holy order, which made the blood of the loyal ministers cold. Now we are not going back, one is for self-preservation, the second is for the people, and the third is for the sake of the king. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Xie Zhiyun stood up and walked to the side of the main seat step by step, she turned to look at everyone.

She is actually not too tall, and she is also the upper middle size among women, and she is not yet in her twenties this year, so she looks quite young, which is easy for people to despise her.

But in the whole of Yezhou, no one will despise her.

Xie Zhiyun's face was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, it seemed that she was betrayed by the imperial court, and she was approached by soldiers in the city, which could not make her panic.

"Generals, what we have to do now is to guard Yezhou and wait for the news of the victory of the grandfather and the little grandfather."

"Wait until that day......

Xie Zhiyun smiled lightly: "Wait until that day, and then we will go and clear the ministers around your majesty." ”

This is said very beautifully and very clearly.

None of the people present were afraid, and they got up together, clenched their right fists, and lightly hammered them on their left chests.

"Defend Yezhou and purge the ministers."

Xie Zhiyun smiled: "Okay, from now on, Yezhou will be entrusted to you." ”

That night, an urgent report galloped out of the north city gate with the fast horse, and the soldiers of the large battalion in the western suburbs adjusted their formation overnight, and 10,000 people were transferred to Yezhou City overnight and stationed in the military camp in the east city gate.

Xie Zhiyun asked Liu Zhaohui to send a team of people to follow her, Wei Yao, Ji Xiuxiu and others to various streets and alleys in the city, and gather the people and the lieutenant chief to explain their intentions one by one.

The first is to reassure the people, and the second is to gather the hearts of the people.

North Vietnam came prepared this time, obviously to attack the city, besiege the city, and force Yezhou City to have no way, either to unite Huzhou, Taixing and other direct turmoil, forcing them to rebel on the spot, or forcing them to send people to the border pass, so that Wei Cangjun's heart was shaken.

Either way, it's extremely vicious.

But Xie Zhiyun didn't want to leave any of them, they wanted to guard the city by themselves.

The six city gates of Yezhou, the three city gates in the north and west are regarded as the back gates of Yezhou, close to the western suburbs of Daying, Langhuan and Taixing, these three are far away from Yingzhou, and the North Vietnamese army will not choose these three siege cities.

The most likely besieged is the southeast city gate.

It is actually much easier to defend the city than to siege it, but the North Vietnamese army has a large number of people, and the weather is freezing at the moment, and there are large areas of farmland outside the city, so if the siege continues, it is difficult to say what will happen next year.

But no matter what, Yezhou must be defended.

All the people of the Wei clan ran around the city overnight, and they informed the people of the news that night, although the people were a little panicked, but they were a little relieved to see the sincere faces of the Wei family and the well-trained appearance of the Wei family.

They have all experienced wars, and some have even killed people with their own hands, and the past two years have been good, but since danger is coming, there is nothing to fear.

When the dawn rose, the people spontaneously gathered in the south square, looking at Xie Zhiyun, who looked tired, but his eyes were still bright and bright.

"Young lady, let's continue to make military rations for the soldiers."

"Yes, young lady, we can also do work, we can do anything."

"Young lady, I can join the army and defend the city."

Xie Zhiyun felt very warm in his heart, because these people in Yezhou trusted them so much and worked so hard for this city.

They won't give up, and they can't give up.

Xie Zhiyun walked to the high platform, looked at the people who came in, she smoothed the messy hair on her sideburns, and said loudly: "We have so many elite soldiers, so many people, so much food, coal and swords, since they want to break through Yezhou City and let the grandfather and the little grandfather shake the hearts of the army at the border pass, then we are not as good as they want." ”

"Can we defend Yezhou?"

Her voice was clear and loud, without a hoarse cry, but it was audible to all.

The people were aroused by their enthusiasm and yearning for a happy life, and they waved their rough palms full of calluses and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Xie Zhiyun looked at everyone and smiled calmly.

Sure enough, when the sun was rising in the sky, the first war drums were heard outside the city.

It was a demonstration by the North Vietnamese Army.

Wei Cang and Wei Ji were leading 80,000 people to fight bloody battles at the border passes, and no matter how stupid Sima Ling was, it was impossible for him to come up with such a bad excuse as collaborating with the enemy and treason.

This time, the excuse they used was: "Detain the Sima royal family." ”

Xie Zhiyun simply laughed angrily.

She accompanied Cui Ji, and the family climbed the city tower and looked at the huge plain outside the city.

On the plains, countless tents had been erected, and a group of elite soldiers wandered back and forth for half a mile outside the city, the drums of war beating incessantly.

Xie Zhiyun and the others came to General Zhou's side, Zhou Chenglin looked at Cui Ji and Xie Zhiyun, and finally sighed.

"It seems that the Sima clan is determined to capture Yezhou."

Sima Ao had already run away, so naturally they couldn't call out the Sima royal family who was "detained", and the North Vietnamese army would not withdraw.

It's a dead end.

Either you die or I die.

Xie Zhiyun squinted his eyes and looked at the past, and said softly: "Old general, how many are counted?" ”

"If the enemy army does not increase its troops, we can hold it for more than half a year."

Zhou Chenglin said: "If you double the number of troops, you can hold it for three months." ”

Xie Zhiyun's expression was calm: "Three months is enough." ”
