Night.

North of Yanzhou City, in the drunken immortal building.

Yang Xu set up five tables of banquets here, and feasted on the Yanzhou civil and military forces who came to congratulate today.

Originally, Yang Xu didn't plan to invite everyone to a banquet in such a big way, but he really couldn't stand the coaxing of everyone.

In desperation, he had no choice but to endure the pain and hemorrhage, and spent more than 100 taels of silver to place these five tables of banquets!

More than a hundred taels of Ma!

Yang Xu felt a pain when he thought about it!

This can't be regarded as stingy, but he really has no money in his pocket!

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the silver for the five tables of banquets tonight, one hundred or two taels of them was borrowed by him from Fang Han!

Although the emperor had already rewarded him with a title, a land, and a mansion in the capital!

But the emperor didn't reward him with silver!

Therefore, Yang Xu's current net worth, in addition to a series of real estate in Beijing, is only five taels of silver tickets in his pocket, as well as the two strings of copper coins hanging on the kang head at home!

"Damn, I'm so mixed up with an uncle, I didn't expect this pocket to be so clean!"

Yang Xu chewed the four-headed tangxin abalone in his mouth fiercely, and couldn't help complaining like this in his heart.

Even if the pocket is clean, the dignified uncle invites a guest to a banquet, and he has to leave a hundred taels of silver for famine!

Thinking of this,

Yang Xu was very anxious in his heart!

Cash flow is still important!

Otherwise, you can't do anything at all with market capitalization.

Yang Xu is determined to do some side business when he arrives in the capital in the future!

Otherwise, just relying on the title given by the imperial court and his rental income from the 1,500 acres of land in Longjiang, I am afraid that he will not be able to integrate into the social circle of the Great Zhou nobles normally!

You know, for tonight's meal, that table will have to be discounted by more than 20 taels of silver!

By this standard, Su Xiu didn't think the dishes were expensive, but instead asked Yang Xu to make the dishes more grand!

He also said that if he is shy in his pocket, he can support him first, and he must not lose his face in this kind of thing in order to save a little money.

Yang Xu was numb when he heard this.

It costs more than 100 taels to hold a five-table banquet, isn't this grand enough?

Su Xiu's opening can be regarded as letting Yang Xu realize what it means to be a real old Versailles.

But Yang Xu didn't dare to listen to him, he was cleaner than his face now, and what kind of façade did he pay attention to?

It's good to have this standard of eating, but after eating, you have to find a way to solve the famine of one hundred taels of silver!

Since the opening of the banquet, Yang Xu has been drinking with everyone in tears.

Wait until the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

With the sound of silk and bamboo, the geisha artists invited by the Drunken Immortal Building to perform also began to take the stage one after another at this time.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, they began to discuss those graceful dancers through hazy drunkenness.

The sudden exclamations from outside the building instantly woke them up from the joy of eating and dancing!

"Beacon!"

"It's a beacon ——!"

"The beacon fire in the north of the city is lit, and the Turks are coming!"

……

The screams of the people with a little panic came from the street outside the building.

The Yanzhou civil and military forces in the building were also awakened at this time.

"Report ——!"

At this moment, a soldier in full armor broke in, and as soon as he saw Su Xiu in his seat, he clenched his fists loudly and said:

"Report to your lordship, the news of the beacon fire at the post station outside the city has arrived, and the Turks have entered the customs!"

"What did you say!?"

Su Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up from his seat, he quickly walked to the soldier who came to report the news, and asked urgently:

"Now that the beacon fire has been lit, can the military intelligence of the post station enter the city?"

"Lord Hui, now I only see the beacon fire, and I haven't received the military report from the post station yet!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, without the military post to send a message, they would have no way of knowing where the Turks had gone!

Moreover, now that the main force of the border army is still mediating with the enemy on the grassland, if a Turkic force suddenly enters the pass and cuts off the supply line of the main force of the 100,000 border army on the grassland, the consequences of this will not be imagined by everyone here!

Yang Xu was also shocked at this time, although he had never seen a Turkic person, but the memory of his predecessor told him that it was a group of demons from outside the Guan!

It turned out that when the predecessor was a child, he had witnessed the ferocity of these Turks.

That year, he moved to Ning'an County with his father and uncle, and on the way he came to a village that had just been slaughtered by the Turks.

The miserable scene during this period, even Yang Xu, a traverser, would feel a chill all over his body when he recalled it!

In Yang Xu's opinion, the cruelty of these Turks to the people of Zhou is no less than that of the island devils who invaded Great China on the Blue Star!

Now that he heard that the Turks had entered the customs, Yang Xu's mood couldn't help but become nervous.

He looked at Su Xiu, and couldn't help but remind: "Teacher, since there has been a beacon transmission, then for today's plan, we should also take precautions as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, what Yang Xu said is extremely true! In this case, please go to the political yamen with the old man to discuss the major matter of resisting the enemy! ”

Su Xiu nodded when he heard this, immediately announced the end of the banquet, and rushed to the Buzheng Yamen with everyone overnight.

Yang Xu now has a knighthood, and according to the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Kingdom, when there is a war, the person with a knight must participate in the military aircraft on the spot, so he also followed.

In the political yamen, everyone discussed it after some discussion.

In the end, it was decided by Su Xiu, and on the one hand, he sent several waves of probes overnight to get in touch with the nearest post stations to inquire about further news, and on the other hand, he sent people to rush to Beijing for 800 miles to report the emergency!

At the same time, several waves of men and horses were sent to the front line of the Great Wall, striving to inform the main force of the border army outside the pass of the news of the Turkic entry into the pass as soon as possible.

After doing all this, Su Xiu asked Xiao Yan, the political envoy, to issue a curfew, and at the same time organized Minzhuang to go to the city overnight to prevent the Turks from invading Yanzhou City.

Yang Xu was stunned from the sidelines, to be honest, these days, Su Xiu left him with the impression of being a reckless man dressed in civil official robes.

But now Su Xiu's methodical arrangement made Yang Xu have to re-examine his cheap teacher.

"Yang Xu!"

At this moment, Su Xiu looked at Yang Xu:

"You take the warrant of the division, transfer the 1,000 men and horses under Jin Peng's command to go out of the city to the salt field overnight, and be sure to transport the remaining 300,000 catties of salt there and the rockets you have made recently back to the city!"

"Yes, students obey!"

Yang Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then he agreed.

Now that the Turks are attacking, as the lord of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he naturally has to contribute to the country.

It didn't take long for Yang Xu to quickly gather all the people and horses out of the city, and took advantage of the night to go straight to the Yanzhou Salt Farm fifteen miles east of the city.

And at the same time,

The little Turkic prince Ashina Hei Migu has led his army to Zhengjiabao, five hundred miles away!

According to the current marching speed of the Turkic cavalry, as long as they cross the Zhengjiabao in front of them, they will be able to march under the city of Yanzhou in less than two days......
