Chapter Thirty-Eight: Donghu Enters the Kou

The people from the imperial court came faster than expected, and in just half a month, a county order came to take office. He looks like he's in his thirties, very thin, and has a goatee. His name is Li Wei, and it is said that he was transferred from near Shanhaiguan and knows more about the situation in the border areas.

When you arrive in Dongning, you can also get started quickly. As for whether he is the crown prince or not, Feng Ye doesn't know, after all, he doesn't have any connections in the court.

He is now devoting himself to cultivation and accumulating strength. Now all the resentful spirits in the Soul Eater have been promoted to evil spirits. Except for the fact that there are some friends and foes who are released, the power is still very strong. There is no way, the mental power is insufficient, and it is impossible to control it finely.

Recently, Feng Ye's Northern Kwai Water Xuanwu Visualization Diagram has made great progress, and Feng Ye can feel that he is not far from being able to control these evil spirits.

Seeing that the time is in August, it is almost time for the autumn harvest, and the entire Dongningwei is busy. Although there was a drought this year, fortunately, it was not very serious, and there were 1,000 Dongning cavalry to help carry water.

Standing on the castle tower, looking at the endless fields, the autumn wind blows, and a golden wave of wheat rises. There were satisfied smiles on everyone's faces.

Especially those poor people who originally had nothing, since they came to Dongningwei, their wives have given them to them, the fields have been given to them, the ploughing cattle have also been given to them, and even the farm tools have been given to them. At this moment, they have an unprecedented sense of belonging to Dongning.

In this era, a farmer's biggest pursuit, the hot kang head of his wife and children, is all at once. Well, of course, the child is still in the womb.

Only Feng Ye and the other high-level people knew that the autumn harvest was approaching, which meant that Donghu was coming. The big war is about to start, Feng Ye is naturally not afraid, but after all, he only has 3,000 people in his hands, and it is impossible to divide troops to protect all the places.

It is also unrealistic to mobilize the peasants to take refuge in the city now, after all, the autumn harvest is coming. The heavy ears of wheat in the field can't just be left to the Donghu people.

Feng Ye originally didn't have any concern for Dongning, and his initial plan was to leave if he couldn't beat him, but after all, these farmers were lured by him to farm and provide him with food, and now these people have to face the iron hooves and butcher knives of the Donghu people, as the lord of Dongning, Feng Ye feels that he has an obligation to protect them.

Feng Ye could only send cavalry to reconnoiter around as much as possible, wanting to keep the enemy out of the country.

The county commander Li Wei was far more nervous than Feng Ye, as early as half a month ago, the chapter for help had been sent to Liaodong Town, but unfortunately, the stone sank into the sea. No news at all. The other party didn't even bother to be perfunctory.

It's clear that it's watching Dongning die. It is best that the Hu people plundered Dongning, and after taking revenge, they retreated. That's what the officers of Liaodong Town are looking forward to from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your Royal Highness, there is news, Tan Malai reported, Donghu went south in an all-round way, under the banner of revenge, sent 200,000 troops, saying that it was to wash Liaodong Town in blood and avenge the dead clansmen, and now there are 30,000 cavalry rushing to our Dongning Guard. Xiao Dezi nervously ran in to report.

Behind him was followed by Li Wei, the commander of Dongning County. Whoever let the only armed force in the entire Dongningwei be in Feng Ye's hands, at this time, of course, Li Wei had to come over to discuss.

"It's only 30,000 people, what about the others? Is this looking down on us?" Feng Ye asked very puzzled. He originally thought that Donghu sent 200,000 troops to fight him, but when he heard the previous words, he was still a little nervous, but he didn't expect that 30,000 people came.

"My Highness, what do you mean that there are only 30,000 people, that is 30,000 people, and we only have 3,000 Dongning Iron Horsemen in Dongning. How do you fight with 30,000 people?" said Xiao Dezi anxiously.

On the contrary, it was the county commander Li Wei who explained to Feng Ye unhurriedly: "Your Highness, the Hu people are going south for the purpose of looting, and it is impossible for everyone to gather together. After the concentration of the army, the march speed was too slow, it was too wasteful of time, and the people who got the news in the rear ran away, who else did they rob? ”

Feng Ye looked at this calm county magistrate and was very surprised. The county magistrate was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot a few days ago, and he sent out one after another for help. didn't expect Hu Ren to really come, but he calmed down.

Li Wei also seemed to see Feng Ye's surprise, and explained with a wry smile: "Your Highness doesn't understand why the lower officials behaved differently before and after?"

Feng Ye nodded.

"I heard that the Donghu people were coming to join the Kou, and the literati who were powerless to tie the chickens were naturally afraid. Of course, try to help yourself. But now that the Donghu people are really here, the lower officials have the responsibility to guard the land, and they can't run away, what's the use of being afraid, and now they can only follow His Highness and fight against the water. Li Wei explained.

"You are a bit interesting, I have seen the performance in the past few months, and we have managed Dongning in an orderly manner, although there is nothing particularly prominent, but there is nothing missing. It can be called a capable official. How could he be sent to our Dongning?" Feng Ye asked curiously.

"Hey, isn't it just a little thing in the officialdom? The lower officials think that they are doing things in a decent manner, although they have no great merit or great fault, there is no noble support above, but they are pretentious and high-minded, they can't pull down their faces to scrape the ground, and they have no money to give gifts.

Every year, I get a flat comment in the Ministry of Officials. Where is there a chance for promotion? This Dongping is located on the border, and except for those who have been assigned, there are naturally only people like Xiaguan, who are not hurt by their grandmothers and who are not loved by their uncles. Li Wei said self-deprecatingly.

Feng Ye stood up with a smile and patted Li Wei's shoulder and said, "Li County Order, we in Dongning still need a county order like you without merit." In the future, I will work here with peace of mind, rest assured, with this king here, the sky in Dongning will not fall. It's just 30,000 Donghu people, and it depends on how this king kills him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Feng Ye returned to the backyard and prepared to set off as soon as he informed the three ladies. Yingchun silently took out Feng Ye's leather armor and put it on for Feng Ye. Qin Keqing also assisted from the side, "Husband, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, you must be careful, the concubine is waiting for you at home to triumph." Yingchun said firmly.

Qin Keqing took out the white daze specially prepared for Feng Ye. She knew that Feng Ye liked to wear a red cloak, but it was too conspicuous on the battlefield and was easy to target. So she specially made a white cloak for Feng Ye.

Baochai had long known the news of Donghu's invasion, but he didn't cry like last time. said to Feng Ye seriously: "Don't worry, the concubine will definitely handle the affairs of the family and not let the husband be distracted by these things." ”

"Don't worry, the 30,000 Donghu people, in the eyes of the husband, are just some local chickens and dogs. It's not hard to break. For the husband, he left. Feng Ye said to the three ladies with a smile.
