Hearing this, although Zhao Fan's face remained unchanged, his heart had already blossomed.

Although the matter of brother and sister-in-law said before was indeed true, Zhao Fan was not too sure in his heart.

According to rumors, King Hongnong is a figure like an immortal descending into the world, and which of the Tang Dynasty, Concubine Dong, Concubine Zhen, etc., is not the best in the world? Even the recently rumored Huang Jiayueying is also from a famous family, Zhong Lingyuxiu?

Although his brother and sister-in-law are as beautiful as immortals, after all, the age is here, and there is a widowed identity, and he is really not too sure on his side, but with Zhang Ren's guarantee and his own charcoal in the snow, all this has become not so far away, as long as there is this relationship, won't his family be on the rise? !

Zhang Ren naturally couldn't know what Zhao Fan was thinking, and the two of them returned to the front hall with their own thoughts.

Seeing everyone in the hall, Zhao Fan cleared his throat and said: "Sun Jian's whole army is dispatched, and it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the two counties of Lingling and Wuling. ”

"My lord..."Chen Yingzheng, another general under Zhao Fan, was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Fan.

Waving his hand, Zhao Fan continued: "Needless to say, General Zhang, as the chief soldier of a state, is naturally undoubtedly capable, and... Fan is also for the sake of the future..."

Hearing this, Chen Ying and Bao Long in the hall all looked at each other, and instantly understood what was going on, and without saying much, they hugged Zhang Yiyi.

"Chen Ying, Bao Long, but listen to the orders of the adults!"

The time was urgent, Zhang Ren did not refuse, came to the main seat, and said: "If you say anything superfluous, Zhang Mou will not say much, and you will know in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Tong and said, "Ji Ming (Fu Tong's character), you quickly send someone to Fuling to find General Yan Yan, inform him of the situation here, and order him to immediately send troops to Wuling County!" In addition, he sent someone back to Yizhou to inform Zhang Yi that he organized 20,000 soldiers and horses to be on standby at any time. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Fan on the side and asked, "Brother Zhao, how many available soldiers does Guiyang currently have?" ”

Zhao Fan didn't answer, but looked at Bao Long, who understood, clenched his fists and said, "Lord Yu, fifty-four thousand people!" ”

"Does General Bao know the situation of Lingling and Wuling counties?"

"Lingling County borders my Guiyang, and the soldiers and horses are almost the same as ours, and Wuling County has a large area, and the population is nearly fifty percent more than our two counties, so there should be about 80,000 soldiers and horses."

"Which of you two is good at guarding the city?"

"If you talk about defense, Captain Chen is good at it!" Bauronn replied truthfully.

"Okay, if Lingling suddenly sends troops, how many people will be left for you to defend?" Zhang Ren looked at Chen Ying and asked.

"Jin Xuan's subordinates are not too strong, leave me twenty or thirty thousand people, enough to deal with!"

"How about twenty-five thousand?"

"Yes!"

"Bao Long listens to the order, you order 30,000 horses, and then send troops to Changsha with me, Zhuo Ying listens to the order, you lead 10,000 horses to be stationed outside the city, and cooperate with Chen Ying to defend!"

"Order!"

"Ji Ming, you go with me!"

Seeing that everything was arranged, Zhao Fan hugged his fists at Zhang Ren and said, "Brother Justice, be careful all the way!" ”

"Brother Zhao, thank you for your great kindness! Zhang left first! ”

By the time the soldiers, horses, food and grass were ready, it was already dark, and Zhang Ren did not dare to delay, so he ordered the whole army to set off overnight! The next day, around 3 a.m., we finally arrived at our destination.

After a simple repair, the sky was bright, Zhang Ren looked at the ten-meter-high city wall in front of him, and couldn't help frowning secretly, there were 40,000 horses on his side, 30,000 in Baolong, and only 70,000 people in total, how to attack in the face of such a strong city?

Hesitating to hesitating, Zhang Ren ordered Bao Long to lead his soldiers and horses to the west gate, Fu Tong led 20,000 horses to wait at the east gate, and he led the rest of the men to wait at the south gate.

At this time, there were already more than 200 soldiers guarding a middle-aged scribe to the top of the city, and after seeing the actions below, he shouted in a fierce voice: "Who are you waiting for? Why attack me in Changsha? ”

"I'm Zhang Ren of Yizhou's 'Ministry and County History', who are you?"

"I am the chief official of Changsha Taishou, what does Lord Zhang want?"

"A district chief Shi is also worthy of talking to me, let Sun Jian come out and answer!"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Zhang Ren sneered in his heart and continued to shout: "Sun Jian, come out and answer!" ”

As Zhang Ren's words fell, 20,000 people behind him shouted in unison, and the sound broke the silence of the early morning, and for a time the birds in the surrounding mountains and forests scattered!

Seeing this, the public feud in the city was so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, all of which was really seen by Zhang Ren below!

It seems that what he said is true, Sun Nut is not in the city, and even his generals have been taken away! Otherwise, there will not be a civilian official left to defend the city! ’

Thinking of this, Zhang Ren settled down for a moment, waved his hand, signaled the soldiers to stop shouting, and then continued to speak, and said loudly: "Zhang gives you a quarter of an hour, either let Sun Jian come out to answer, or go to war!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Ren didn't look at the other party again, pulled out his horse and returned to the formation, and ordered the soldiers to start preparing siege equipment.

On the other side, the public enemy in the city was so anxious that he paced back and forth, originally yesterday morning Sun Jian sent almost all the soldiers and horses out of the expedition, and last night Zhu Zhi and Sun Jing even took away everyone's families and nearby people who were willing to go to Yangzhou together. The current Changsha is far more empty than Zhang Ren thought, and it can be described as a real foreign powerhouse!

The public feud said that staying was just responsible for looting property, after all, those who stayed were unwilling to follow Sun Jiandong to Yangzhou, rather than letting go of cheap others in vain, it was better to loot before leaving! originally planned to leave after snatching it, but I didn't expect Zhang Ren to come so quickly and block them!

As if thinking of something, the public feud called out to a soldier beside him: "How many more men do we have?" ”

"We are only responsible for looting property, there are only 800 people, how can we defend the city, my lord!" The soldier said with a bitter face.

"Don't panic, I don't seem to have many of them just now, you quickly go and catch the people in the city to the city wall to defend the city together! As long as you hold on for another hour or two, I believe that the soldiers and horses on the Wuling side will come, and when the time comes, Zhang Ren's army will be self-defeating! ”

...

"Go! Hurry up, what to see? Hurry up and go up the city wall, don't your family want it? ”

Several soldiers escorted a group of about 200 civilians slowly towards the city wall, waving their broadswords and shouting.

Such scenes are playing out all over Changsha City.

"Brother Hansheng, are we just going to accept our fate? Wouldn't it be unclear if this continued? ”

In the team, Dahan whispered to an old man in his fifties in front of him, seeing that the other party did not respond, Dahan was a little anxious, and he wanted to continue to speak, but he heard a whip, and then his shoulder hurt, and the soldier's scolding sounded next to him: "What is the noise?" Don't want to live anymore? ”
