Eighty-four

Groups of prisoners were escorted and sent backwards, they lined up in long columns, all of them hung their heads, and the soldiers on guard beat these prisoners with sticks and scabbards from time to time, and they did not dare to resist, and let the officers and soldiers of the escort beat and curse.

Wu Chuanyu looked at the long captives who were escorted back, and asked Fang Yingzhi beside him: "If you let some people go, they won't be killed and captured, right?" Fang Yingchen replied: "Don't worry, Commander, Lord Geng will screen them, some people will be sent back, some people will be sent back to do coolies, in short, they won't kill indiscriminately." Wu Chuanyu calmed down a little.

Now the following should no longer be the captain of the killer team, the authority is handed over to the people below, now he is in charge of a flag team, that is, five killer teams, Wu Chuanyu transferred him to the side, this time the impact of the flank of the militia, although the speed of the infantry can not keep up, but just in case, also used to respond to Li Shujiao, Wu Chuanyu insisted on ambushing two flag teams on the Niubei Rock, in case the other party's probe horse went crazy, really want to give up the horse, to attack the mountain, if it is really to let Li Shujiao in danger, it is really impossible to come.

Li Chengzhong, one of the righteous sons of Li Shujiao, rode a horse and ran over, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and said: "General Li, don't you chase ahead?" Li Chengzhong said: "We want to, but just now we didn't receive the report at night, and there was a banner of the golden rooster Li Shun in front, and the banner of a wolf Deng Dezhi, the golden rooster is also counted, but a wolf is not easy to deal with, two combined troops, more than 5,000 people, and more than 800 cavalry, big shields, and horse rejection guns, we can't defeat the other party." Wu Chuanyu said: "I'll go and take a look." Li Chengzhong said: "Then be careful yourself, the other side has a lot of cavalry, if you suddenly go crazy and rush over, it is not very safe." Wu Chuanyu said: "Don't worry, my horsepower is well preserved, even if they want to chase me, they can't catch up with me." Li Chengzhong commanded left and right, and more than a dozen cavalry followed Wu Chuanyu, Li Chengzhong and Wu Chuanyu had a good relationship, so they were also more careful.

Wu Chuanyu didn't say much, he strategized the horse, and Fang Yingzhi and a few personal soldiers followed behind, accompanied by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and the group trotted forward, going against the flow of cavalry, and went to Li Shunbu and Deng Dezhi in front.

Along the way, they saw a long line of captives, and they all walked backwards, they threw their weapons, and lined up, but they could not see that the men among them were the leaders, and those were small soldiers, all wearing blue and black cotton jackets, and many of them showed their black faces.

Wu Chuanyu saw the place where the battle just now, Guo Tianliang's flag was thrown on the side of the road, Guo Tianliang is not a famous thief, so his head and flag are not worth anything, no one to cut, now Guo Tianliang can no longer see the human form, he was trampled into a meatloaf, if it were not for the cloak and armor on the corpse, no one would recognize it.

A sturdy captive was digging a pit in the ground, because as a prisoner, there was no weapon, he could only use his hands to dig on the ground, and his hands were digging out blood, but he didn't stop, a personal guard next to Wu Chuanyu whispered: "Master, this is a personal soldier under Guo Tianliang, it seems to be called Wang Ergou or something, I have seen it a few times, he is now thinking about burying Guo Tianliang." "This guard is none other than Zhang Chong of Yidou Valley, after Wu Chuanyu saved Zhang Chong of Yidou Valley, Zhang Chong became Wu Chuanyu's personal soldier, Wu Chuanyu called him a personal soldier, but Zhang Chong called himself a slave, Zhang Chong was grateful to Wu Chuanyu for saving his only remaining brothers, and he was grateful to Wu Chuanyu.

Wu Chuanyu said: "Give him an iron pickaxe and let him bury the old master." Zhang Chong rode his horse and left the team, said a few words to the officers and soldiers who escorted him, selected an iron pickaxe from the iron tools thrown all over the ground, and threw it over Wang Ergou on the side.

Wang Ergou took the iron pickaxe, looked at Wu Chuanyu here, and then looked at Zhang Chong, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Wu Chuanyu, and then without saying a word, he began to dig and bury it, in this sandy and gravel ground, it is not easy to dig a pit, many corpses here, the officers and soldiers will not accept them, at most they will only take away the armor and weapons, and the corpses have no time to care, especially when there are enemy troops eyeing them.

Wu Chuanyu said to Fang Yingzhi and the others beside him: "Let's go and take a look at Deng Dezhi and Li Shun." Zhang Chong also followed, and the group rode away and headed towards Zhang Chong and Deng Dezhi, who were less than ten miles away.

A black military formation in the distance, behind it is two big flags, one side is painted with a rooster, the golden rooster is illiterate, many rogue militia are illiterate, if you write the word "Li" on it, maybe others still don't recognize it, and there is not only one surname Li in the rogue militia, it is easy to confuse it, so the ingenious approach of the golden rooster is not to provoke Hu Quan's unhappiness, but Deng Dezhi's flag is not painted a wolf, and honestly wrote a "Deng" character on it.

On both sides are the cavalry that did not get on the horse, the archers behind have already opened their bows, the opposite formation is clean, facing dozens of cavalry, no one has spoken, except for the neighing of horses, there is also the sound of the wind blowing in the air, both sides are staring at each other, Wu Chuanyu saw the corpse of a first-class militiaman in front of the formation, and a dead horse, Wu Chuanyu exclaimed: "How did they kill their own people, it seems that this person is here to report for help, how to let them kill themselves." ”

Zhang Chong followed by his side, followed Wu Chuanyu and said: "This seems to be Guo Tianliang's cronies, I can't remember what it's called, master, I have already said that Tianliang is relying on Wang Yingjia to have today's position, as soon as Wang Yingjia dies, Guo Tianliang will definitely be liquidated by Se Gongzi, the reason why they don't save it today may be that Se Gongzi deliberately sent Guo Tianliang to death." ”

Wu Chuanyu also wanted to step forward to see a little more clearly, and he couldn't see the other party's main general clearly from a hundred and eighty steps away, Wu Chuanyu also wanted to see what kind of people Li Shun and Deng Dezhi were, so he stepped forward, Zhang Chong said: "Master be careful, although the golden rooster Zhang Chong fights in general, but his archery skills are good, you see this report, it was shot dead in one hundred and twenty steps, the master still don't look at it." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Then how can I do it, I will be brave for the army, I can't retreat, maybe the other side is just a false appearance, put on a show to scare me, etc., I want to see it clearly." After saying that, Zhang Chong on the side hurriedly followed, and wanted to ride his horse in front, Wu Chuanyu said: "You get out of the way, I've fought so many battles, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Chong had to get out of the way and followed behind, and Fang Yingzhi and others also followed behind Wu Chuanyu.

Wu Chuanyu rode his horse to one hundred and fifty steps, and saw the opponent's military appearance clearly, behind row after row of horse rejection pistols and big shields, there were archers, and then behind, there were groups of armor-clad pacesetters, his temperament Wu Chuanyu had seen it, and he couldn't be wrong. Wu Chuanyu sighed, if Deng Dezhi and Li Shun wanted to save Tianliang, it was completely possible, just now they could have advanced with heavy troops and forced the Liao soldiers to turn back, then the Liao soldiers had defeated the Tianliang Department at most just now, and it was impossible to annihilate the Tianliang Department, and most of the Tianliang would not die, it seems that what Zhang Chong said was the truth, and the other party simply wanted to let the Tianliang go to death.

Wu Chuanyu turned his head and said to the people beside him: "Let's go back." "This distance is safe, if you don't know that the other party doesn't have a crossbow, only a bow, then Wu Chuanyu won't dare at one hundred and eighty steps, and the divine arm crossbow can shoot three hundred steps, but this kind of militaristic heavy weapon, the militia does not have it, even among the officers and soldiers, only elite soldiers are equipped.

The group turned their heads and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, I heard Zhang Chong shouting, "Master, be careful." ”

"Boom" A sound similar to playing cotton sounded, everyone turned back in shock, and saw a black meteor flying towards Wu Chuanyu, Wu Chuanyu's red cloak, the mountain armor on his body, and the feathers on the helmet made the other party recognize it at once, and Wu Chuanyu did not ride a fast horse in order to save horsepower, but just walked slowly, if he was shot by the other party, he was afraid that he would be like a dead corpse on the ground.

The meteor flew like lightning, flying past the door where Wu Chuanyu was turning back, Wu Chuanyu's personal soldiers, Fang Yingzhi and the others all opened their mouths wide, looking at Wu Chuanyu in shock, and their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.

Li Shun put down the bow and said, "Fortunately, the craft has not been put down, and this time I have been shot." On the one hand, Deng Dezhi showed an appreciative smile, this shot, Deng Dezhi was not sure. The two of them saw the general in the red cloak and stepped forward to watch the army formation, Li Shun hid behind the shield, and when the other party turned around, an arrow suddenly shot out, he had already drawn the bow to the full, and shot this arrow, the bow he used just now could no longer be used in the future, he had already broken the bow tire.

Deng Dezhi looked through the gap in the shield and said: "Okay, this arrow is hitting him in the face, presumably an arrow piercing the skull, he can't live, it looks like a character, otherwise there wouldn't be so many guards, and the horse he sat on is also a good horse, Golden Rooster, you have made a great contribution." ”

The golden rooster also looked through the gap in the shield and said with a smile: "It's shot, it's shot." But after he said it twice, he couldn't say it.

In the eyes of the two of them, the figure more than one hundred and fifty steps away suddenly removed his hand from his face, it turned out that he was not covering his wound, he actually grabbed the arrow with his hand.

Zhang Chong said: "My mother, I didn't shoot him, I have a three-stone bow, how did he do it, is he made of iron?"

Deng Dezhi also exclaimed: "He actually caught the arrow, I know, this guy is Wu Chuanyu under Fang Yuanhua, it is said that he has the power of a thousand catties, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it, it's this guy, fighting for Fang Yuanhua's training troops, last time, Hu Haima was also folded in his hand." ”

Zhang Chong said: "Do you want to send cavalry to rush up and catch or kill him, this is a big fish, he and Zhang Jiayu are the main generals under Fang Yuanhua, killing him is no less than the great merit of catching Li Shujiao." ”

Deng Dezhi hesitated for a moment, and finally did not give the order to let the cavalry on both sides rush up, the other party looks like the horse is very good, it is the horse of Liaodong, and once the cavalry is sent, there are fewer people, the enemy is not the Liao soldiers who have good kung fu right away, if there are more people, if they are dumplings by the Liao soldiers, the hundreds of cavalry will be buried, and there will be no cavalry on both wings, in case the other party comes to attack in a big way, there will be a certain danger, as long as the other party uses the cavalry to keep rushing the two wings, and then send field infantry to fight in formation, then whether it can hold on, but it is a problem, plus just now there was a horse probe said to see the other party's infantry, Deng Yi did not know how many people the other party had, in case it was followed by thousands of field infantry, then send the cavalry, just to catch a Wu Chuanyu, but it is too dangerous. Thinking of this, Deng Dezhi said: "Don't take risks. ”

Wu Chuanyu took the arrow in his hand away, rode the horse closer, and reached the point where the rogue militia on the opposite side could see him, then grabbed the black arrow, folded his hands, broke the arrow into two sections, and then stepped on the horse, turned around, took his own soldiers and cavalry, and rode the horse.

Looking at Wu Chuanyu's back, Deng Dezhi said: "Why don't you come with an arrow again." Li Shun touched his arms and said: "My arms are still hurting, I shot an arrow just now, and I have already strained the muscles in my hands, and I am afraid that I will not be able to shoot again for a short time." ”

Wu Chuanyu understood that the opponent's large array was indeed not something that could be broken by his own troops, so he immediately decided to turn back, and now that there was a big event in Tai'an City, he must also go back as soon as possible.

Geng Ruji's face was happy, just now the following officials reported to him, more and more people returned from the mountains and forests, now within a hundred miles around Tai'an, there are no displaced people's soldiers, more and more people go home to cultivate, there is a rare tranquility in this land, Geng Ruji sees the peace and quiet outside the city every day, and a sense of pride rises in his heart, and now what he wants most is to raise more seeds, and many large households in the city see the possibility of recovery, and they also begin to take the initiative to provide some grain and grass.

Wu Chuanyu's voice came from below, and he only heard him shouting: "I want to see Lord Geng Ruji, how can I divide the troops now, the militia is obviously fighting the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, can't he see such a strategy?" Geng Ruji heard Wu Chuanyu's voice, sighed, stood up, and went out to pick it up in person.

Geng Qing was blocking Wu Chuanyu and didn't let him come, but when he saw that his master had arrived, he also moved aside, Wu Chuanyu saw the eye droppings in Geng Ruji's eyes, as well as the dust in his hair, so he couldn't bear to say anything serious, so he just said, "I have something to say to you." Geng Ruji knew that Wu Chuanyu didn't want to lose his face in front of everyone, so he took him and entered his study, Wu Chuanyu sat on the chair opposite him, grabbed the tea on the coffee table and took a sip, and then vomited again, the tea was very strong, it was used by Geng Ruji to stay up late, Geng Ruji has been sorting out roster things for a while, and he is refreshing at night, so he naturally wants to make strong tea.

Wu Chuanyu sat down, and said: "I don't talk to you about the scene, and I know that you are not a person who talks about the scene, and you don't know what Cui Guiyuan is, he issued a Jun order, Li Shujiao is going back, and he will transfer the more than 2,000 Liao soldiers when he goes back, do you know that the militia is the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, if Tai'an lacks this cavalry, how can I hold it with only the thousands of infantry troops under me and Zhang Jiayu, and then Tai'an will repeat the tragedy of being besieged." ”

Geng Ruji said: " I'm also telling the truth, my thoughts are the same as yours, it's General Li Shujiao who wants to leave, and now I also want him to stay, I am now going to the court, and I also ask Master Li Congzhe to play, try to keep Li Shujiao's education department here, but Cui Guiyuan took the first step, he first reported to the military department and the cabinet department, saying that it is not possible to do without Liao soldiers, and first blocked our mouth, plus General Li is his old department, this lawsuit is fought there, Cui Guiyuan is reasonable, and you don't know, the most taboo in the court's ministries is that the military generals do not listen to the order, Cui Guiyuan this time a big hat buckled to General Li's head, saying that Li Shujiao did not listen to the order, and it was difficult to control, the faces of the cabinet bosses are dark, and now if General Li Shujiao doesn't listen to Cui Guiyuan, I don't know how it will be difficult afterwards. ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "You also know how the current situation in Tai'an came about, if he leaves, won't Tai'an return to its original state?"

Geng Ruji said: "How do I not know, first Li Shujiao and you came to relieve the siege of Tai'an, and then in the past six months, the militia has attacked five times, the first two times want to attack the city, and the last three times want to destroy the spring ploughing, all of which were jointly defeated by General Li Shujiao and the coalition army of your department, so that King Xiao Ming did not dare to divide his troops to come, if General Li left, I am afraid that King Xiao Ming will divide his troops to fight again." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "The militia came to attack Tai'an five times, at most tens of thousands of people at a time, all of them were defeated by our army, in addition to our unity, it is our army and General Li's foot cavalry cooperation, if there is no General Li, my department can only defend the city, and then all the old Baiwa outside Tai'an City can only flee to the mountains, your efforts in the past half a year, I am afraid that it will be in vain, don't you know." ”

Geng Ruji sighed: "I just opened my mouth to General Li Shujiao, he left 200 cavalry as instructors, training horsemen locally, and then I will see if I can keep Li Chengdou, among General Li's righteous sons, I think Li Chengdou is the most capable." ”

Wu Chuanyu said again: "I estimate that I can leave some cavalry, but Li Chengdou is afraid that he will not be able to stay, Li Chengdou is the most important person in Li Led Sect and Sect Army, and the local cavalry training is not something that can be achieved overnight." ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes

Wu Chuanyu said again: "Our department and General Li have jointly defeated the militia several times, and King Xiao Ming also knows that the division of troops is invincible, but he does not dare to come with the whole army, do you know why?"

Geng Ruji said: "Naturally, I am worried about the combined combat power of the two armies. ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "No, as long as King Xiao Ming mobilizes the whole army, he will fight Tai'an like this time, I don't dare to say anything else, but the Baiwa outside Tai'an City will either flee again, or be driven by the prince to attack the city, or pour into the city." ”

After all, Geng Ruji is a literati from the scientific field, and he naturally knows more about martial arts than Wu Chuanyu, who fights all day long, and said: "Then why didn't King Xiao Ming come to fight us, let us recruit back Baiwa, and start farming from the new." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Because I know him as a person, I know what the idea of the color boy is, his material reserves are not rich, this half a year his materials are only enough to carry out a major military operation, either to attack Licheng, or to attack Tai'an, the city wall is high and the city is not easy to attack, but it is rich in materials, it is said that there are more than 500,000 stone grain, and thousands of large households, King Xiao Ming laid down Licheng, you can get rich supplies, but to fight Tai'an, even if you lay, you can't get so much military resources, armor, Grain and grass, compared with the two, he will naturally go to Licheng, his idea is to attack Licheng first, after getting supplies from Licheng, he will have supplies, with materials, he will attack Tai'an again, and then they may capture Tai'an City. ”

Geng Ruji said: "What do you mean, the reason why he didn't come to fight Tai'an with all the army was also from the consideration of material and logistics?"

Wu Chuanyu said: " Although he has more than half a year of reserves, but it is only enough for him to attack the whole army once, if he is the whole army to attack Tai'an, then the first chance of winning is only sixty percent, in fact, even if he wins, his materials for half a year are all used up, and the next move will be weak, and I estimate that he knows that when Cui Guiyuan will transfer Li Shujiao back when attacking Licheng, then we have no soldiers, he will divide a soldier to fight again, I am not so confident that I can thwart their division of troops, 10,000 steps back, even if he does not divide the army, after the city is defeated, and then come to fight Tai'an, I estimate that when he comes to fight Tai'an, it is just the time of the autumn harvest in Tai'an Mansion, and then he will come to collect the grain you have worked so hard to plantand envelop all the hundred dolls you have gathered into his army, and all your efforts will be made for him at that time."

When Geng Ruji heard this, the color on his face also changed, and he said: "It's just that this time I go back, the main thing is what Li Shu taught himself, and I don't have a way, I will play the book again, and strive for it once, there is only so much I can do." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Why don't you say this to Boss Li Congzhe, presumably Boss Li's words are more useful, if Lord Li's words don't work, then we have to gather most of the Baiwa into the city, and collect grain and grass in the city." ”

Geng Ruji said: "Do you think Master Li didn't say it? It's just that General Li wants to leave by himself, but what is the way, but I just saw General Li talking to Lord Fang, and I want to ask Lord Sun to transfer troops to save Licheng together, maybe Lord Fang also means this." ”

Since Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu have won several big victories, Fang Yuanhua Fang Juren has become the training minister of the five products, and the day of resurrection is just around the corner. Zhang Jiayu's top boss, Wu Chuanyu is now also known as a commander, and Zhang Jiayu has become a garrison officer, which is all set up temporarily, according to what Fang Juren said, after quelling the chaos, he will be officially appointed, and now Wu Chuanyu plans to take a look at what Master Fang Yuanhua says, if Fang Yuanhua is confused to the point of sending troops to save Licheng, Wu Chuanyu secretly plans in his heart, and then pull Zhang Jiayu, and the two of them said to Fang Juren together.

Wu Chuanyu walked out of Geng Ruji's official residence, and went to Fang Yuanhua's official residence, he walked more than a mile in the city, and saw that the faces of the hundred babies in the city were red and red, and their spirits were much better, and there were more pedestrians on the road, not like a desert more than half a year ago, so he said in his heart: "I always have some merits, and when I calm this war, I will take Ming Toma, and the two of them will go back to their hometown in Hubei together, plant many grapes at home, and watch the sunrise and sunset every day, and there is nothing else to ask for in this life." Thinking of this, a force rose in my heart, and I thought: "Although that child is not mine, I can't be harsh, I must teach him well, let him be an upright person." After thinking about it, he arrived at the door of Fang Yuanhua's training yamen.

It was Fang Yinghu who guarded the door, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward, Fang Yinghu saw Wu Chuanyu coming, and subconsciously stood up straight, Wu Chuanyu was quite popular in the army, and the general sergeants also believed in Wu Chuanyu.

Wu Chuanyu asked Fang Yinghu, "Is General Li Shujiao inside?" Now a few horses are tied to the side, and it seems that they are Liao soldiers. Fang Yinghu said: "Yes, I just went in just now." Wu Chuanyu stuffed the weapon in his hand into Fang Yinghu's hand, you can't bring weapons when you enter this training yamen, although maybe Li Shujiao doesn't have to abide by it, but as Fang Yuanhua's subordinate, he still has to untie his weapon.

After passing the lobby, I saw Zhang Jiayu rubbing his hands, standing at the door of the second hall, and looking at the hall from time to time, the voice of Fang Yuanhua of Li Shujiao came from inside.

Wu Chuanyu wanted to go in, but Zhang Jiayu grabbed him and shouted, "Don't go, don't worry, Lord Fang will not follow Li Shujiao to Licheng." Wu Chuanyu stopped, stood outside with Zhang Jiayu, and listened to the words coming from inside.

Li Shujiao: "Are you a loyal minister?"

Fang Yuanhua: "Loyalty to the country is naturally my duty. ”

Li Shujiao: "Then why don't you send troops, Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu's soldiers are all first-class combat power, Fang Yinghu, Fang Yingzhi, and Fang Yinglong are all very good, with them, it is not impossible for Licheng to turn defeat into victory?"

Fang Yuanhua: "The matter of sending troops should also be considered in the long run, the grain and grass logistics are not good, and the official cannot send troops." ”

Li Shujiao: "I just asked one of your captains, and he said that you have enough food and grass. ”

Fang Yuanhua: "What does a small soldier know? This official did not tell the truth in order to maintain the morale of the army, but in fact, there is already a lot of food and grass. ”

Li Shujiao: "Licheng is a provincial capital, and it cannot be lost. ”

Fang Yuanhua: "This official will consider it." ”

Li Shujiao: "You just want to preserve your strength. ”

Fang Yuan turned into anger and said, "This official is a civil official, do you want to use force to control literature?"

Li Shujiao pointed his finger at Fang Yuanhua and said: "Ben will immediately bring the children of the headquarters back to help." ”

Fang Yuanhua: "Don't send it." He picked up the teacup and looked at Li Shujiao coldly.

Fang Yuanhua has always looked down on military attachés, and he usually can't show it, but now he is ignoring Li Shujiao's reaction, and now he is cold.

Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu stood in the courtyard, and saw Li Shujiao with Li Chengzhong and Li Chengzhi coming out of the gate, when Li Shujiao came out, Li Shujiao's face was full of anger, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and wanted to say something, and then Li Chengzhong quietly waved his hand, signaling not to say more, Wu Chuanyu had to go down.

Wu Chuanyu said to Zhang Jiayu: "What can I do now? He is going, but there is more than one bad luck, you must know that this time the exile army is more than 100,000, and although his more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are elite, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it." ”

Zhang Jiayu sighed and said: "Li Shujiao doesn't fantasize about reconciling with Cui Guiyuan this time, he thinks that he can exchange Cui Guiyuan's forgiveness after returning this time, this is a dream, he has just been transferred from Liaodong, I don't know Cui Guiyuan's temperament, there was a guerrilla in the past who just pushed Cui Guiyuan in the mouth, and Cui Guiyuan beheaded the whole guerrilla family, how could a person like him understand Li Shujiao." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "There is no one to talk to him?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Li Chengzhong said it a few times, he was scolded, and Master Li Congzhe also came to the door to say it, but Li Shujiao didn't listen, he was determined to go to the fire pit." ”

The two were speechless.

Wu Chuanyu didn't sleep well that night, thinking about it all night, he went up to the city tower early the next morning, and saw the Liao soldiers outside the city began to assemble, a team of Liao soldiers and knights pulled their horses, lined up outside the city, Li Shujiao's banner was faintly waved in the morning fog, Wu Chuanyu watched Li Shujiao get on the horse, take his own righteous sons, and ride the horse to the north.

In the thunderous hooves, the Liao soldiers finally embarked on the road to the north to aid Licheng.

Wu Chuanyu sighed, and was about to go downstairs, when he saw Fang Yuanhua's sister, Miss Fang Liping, with the help of several mothers-in-law, went upstairs, followed by Fang Yinglong, and a guard of the killer team, Wu Chuanyu flashed to the side and got out of the way, and now Yuanhua moved most of the people in Fangjiazhuang to Tai'an City, and Fang Liping and a group of women and children naturally followed up in the city.

Fang Liping saw Wu Chuanyu at the edge of the city, stepped forward, and asked Wu Chuanyu in a low voice: "Is it that the Liao soldiers are gone, and this Tai'an will be in danger." Wu Chuanyu stared at Fang Yinglong behind him, expecting that Fang Yinglong must be talking nonsense, the most important thing now is to appease people's hearts, don't let the city become chaotic, Fang Yinglong said nonsense like this, Wu Chuanyu naturally felt a little unhappy in his heart.

The sound of the Liao soldiers riding horses and running outside the city was ringing, and Wu Chuanyu said: "Miss, don't worry, our army fought a big victory a few days ago, annihilating the thief's head over the Tianliang Department, after this battle, King Xiao Ming did not dare to divide his troops to come, this Tai'an was safe before King Xiao Ming broke through Licheng." ”

Fang Liping said with a smile: "The concubine is waiting for the woman's family, and she has no knowledge, but it makes the commander laugh, but the commander only brought 200 people to attack the 100,000 militia a few days ago, but it is too dangerous, so that the younger siblings are worried at home." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "A few days ago, I only fought that battle, just to deter King Xiao Ming, so that he didn't dare to come, not really to attack the Wandering Militia Brigade, Miss don't worry, even if the little one doesn't spare his life, he won't take the life of the sergeant to take the risk." ”

Fang Liping said: "The commander hasn't returned home for half a month, so let's go back and take a look at my younger siblings." Wu Chuanyu's face flushed, now he is going back to see Shui Mingyun, but now Shui Mingyu is a little lukewarm to him, it seems that he is in a bad mood, Wu Chuanyu doesn't know what he did wrong, but the women who probably have a body are not in a good mood, and they don't care, thinking that they can see Shui Mingyun, Wu Chuanyu saluted, and said: "The little one will go back and look down on it." Thinking of seeing Shui Mingto, a smile finally appeared on his face that had been wrinkled for a long time.

Wu Chuanyu went down the city wall, his steps were in a hurry, but Fang Liping's face behind him was a little unnatural.

Watching Wu Chuanyu go back to find Shui Mingfu, the dragon mother on the side whispered: "Miss, you can also see that this lady of the martial arts commander, the heart is not in him, the old body has seen a woman all his life, this eyesight is absolutely not wrong, this lady is just dealing with the military commander, but her mind is on others." ”

Fang Liping shook her head and said: "I can see it too, it's just that the commander of the martial arts doesn't know it, don't tell him, if you tell him, he will definitely not believe it, maybe he will blame you and others, you can't be bored with yourself." Mother Long and the others below all nodded yes.

Wu Chuanyu, who had just run down the city wall, turned a corner and entered the alley, at this time he did not have his own soldiers to follow, he didn't want Shui Mingfu to see the murderous soldiers, and Wu Chuanyu was also confident in his skills.

A black shadow jumped down from the beam of the house, jumped behind Wu Chuanyu, patted Wu Chuanyu on the head, and then jumped into the house, his body was so fast that it seemed to be a shadow.

Wu Chuanyu was shocked, if he wanted his own life just now, wouldn't it be very easy? Could it be that the assassin is coming, thinking of this, Wu Chuanyu jumped off the horse, drew his knife, and shouted: "It's that one, please come out and see it." ”

A figure wearing a green cloth robe appeared in front of Wu Chuanyu, this person was wearing a Fan Yang hat, and his face could not be seen clearly, Wu Chuanyu raised the knife in his hand, and said loudly: "It's that good man, and report his name." ”

The man took off the Fan Yang hat on his head, and when Wu Chuanyu saw it, he was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Master, how did you get here." ”

Three days later, in the morning, Geng Ruji and Li Congzhe were in the hall, which was the second hall of the government office, and below were many chiefs, village elders, and some leaders of the township bravery. ”

Geng Ruji looked at the people below and said, then coughed and said: "Everyone sees, Licheng asked for help, General Li had to go back to help Licheng, and now there is a major force missing here, although there was just a victory a few days ago, but in order to ensure that the army of displaced people could not come in, Lord Li and Lord Sun, after consulting with the officials and others, decided to implement a plan, this plan requires everyone's cooperation, and the time is extremely strong." ”

A villager below stood up and said, "Dare to ask the adults, what do you want the people to do?"

Geng Ruji said calmly: "This official wants you to move all the dingkou, women and children, livestock and other things into the city. ”

The pot suddenly exploded below, and now there have been several victories, and everyone is living comfortably, thinking that the rogue militia will not come, and this order is a huge operation, and there will be many sacrifices and sacrifices.

A villager shouted: "No, my lords, the little ones have just sown the seeds, and now that the grain of this committee is about to be harvested, how can they enter the city?"

Another squire said: "Why can you let the Fang family's army go out of the city to fight? Why do you want us to move around, it's really troublesome, haven't we always won battles?"

Another Xiucai shouted: "My lord, how can you relocate after only a few days of rest, and how can this city accommodate so many people, what should I do if there is an epidemic? Where do the new people live in the city?......?"

Geng Ruji said loudly: "The officials you said have heard it, this is already an inevitable thing, if you stay outside the city, you will definitely die and die, and then Lord Fang will not send soldiers and horses out to fight with the militia, this army can only be used to defend the city." The following few Xiucai dukes suddenly scolded in a low voice: "Martial arts, useless ......" and the like, Geng Ruji said loudly: "This time, we want to expand Tai'an City, we want to build four acropolises around, we also need to build two city walls, and the four city gates must be built again, and the moat will be expanded, and at the same time, we must store food in the city for a year." ”

The people below suddenly quarreled, if they want to store food, then someone must come up with food, no one will want to take out their own grain, to build a city, must allocate manpower, every family does not want to allocate manpower, to move into the city, it is bound to have a conflict with the original inhabitants of the city, the inhabitants of the city are bound to not agree, these problems, each of these problems is a problem.

Looking at the noisy people below, Geng Ruji's brows furrowed, a few days ago, Wu Chuanyu recommended his uncle Li Qunshan, Li Qunshan said to Li Congzhe and Geng Ruji, and proposed this new set of "wartime mobilization law", many of the mentions are heard for the first time, Geng Ruji has no bottom in his heart, but seeing that Wu Chuanyu is full of confidence, and at this time there is no new way, so he can only implement it.
