Chapter 52 Pingwu County
Although he had already prepared, when Song Qingshu really stepped into Pingwu County, he was still taken aback. With an earthen wall that is only two meters high and one meter wide, it is difficult to imagine what role he can do other than demarcate the boundary.
And the tattered city gate made Song Qingshu suspect that he could make it collapse with just two kicks. The ragged, yellow-skinned people spoke like him of the poverty and hunger here. At the same time, he also told him how unreliable it was to rely on these people to resist the Yuan soldiers!
Perhaps the only comfort he could feel was the hope and burning in the eyes of the people when they looked at him. Obviously, although Li Sijiu, Li Xing and other intelligent people are respectful of the words of ghosts and gods.
But these low-level people are convinced of this. The prestige of the Old Monarch Guanhuo Cloud Dao Leader is still very high, of course, perhaps the bigger reason is that this is their most desperate hope, and they have to let themselves believe it!
"Li Sijiu, the grass people, and the people of the whole city greeted the demon general, and the people of Pingwu County felt the general's great grace!" Li Sijiu bowed to the ground and said respectfully.
Obviously, he knew that he was calculating Song Qingshu's affairs, and Song Qingshu knew about it. is to take the first step to make such a respectful attitude, and in front of the people of the county, I believe that as long as Song Qingshu has a little bearing, he will not be held accountable.
"Hmph!" With a light snort, Song Qingshu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and didn't ask him to get up, and said lightly: "Time is pressing, the Yuan soldiers are coming, find a place to discuss countermeasures, you don't have any opinions." ”
"Hehe, don't dare, general, please come with me. Li Sijiu was old and well-known, and he knew the way of being thick-faced and black-hearted, and he got up from the ground while smiling at the moment.
Song Qingshu followed Li Sijiu to a courtyard, which was neatly arranged, although it could not be compared with those big families in the Central Plains, but it was one of the best in Pingwu County. This is the courtyard of the gentry before, and after they escaped, they were used by Li Sijiu to borrow flowers and offer Buddha.
"Immeasurable Dao Venerable, Poor Dao has seen the Demon General!" As soon as Song Qingshu entered the courtyard, he saw a Taoist priest come out, and he looked at it attentively, it was Ye Fan, the head of the Laojun Guanhuo Cloud Dao!
But seeing Ye Fan's solemn face, he saluted Song Qingshu in a fairy manner, as if he had never seen him before. Song Qingshu sighed secretly, this Taoist priest is really pretending to be so forceful! No wonder Lao Junguan has such a great reputation in this Pingwu County!
"Who is this ......?" Song Qingshu asked with a puzzled expression. Song Qingshu's acting skills are also at the level of an actor, and his performance is not bad at all!
"Ao, this is the Huoyun Dao Leader of Lao Junguan, the Huoyun Dao Leader is highly respected and prestige in my Pingwu County, and it is he who calculated that the general is the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor and the life-saving person in Pingwu County. Huoyun Dao Chief, this is the Demon Sweeping General!" Li Sijiu hurriedly introduced on the side.
"Ah! It turned out to be the living immortal of Lao Junguan, who has admired the name for a long time!"
"The Demon General is walking in a tiger step, and his momentum is soaring, he really deserves to be the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor!"
The two hurriedly snorted, got to know each other again, and sighed again in their hearts about each other's pretending skills. When the next group enters the house, the guests of honor are seated. Song Qingshu has the highest status, and he is the first in the middle. Ye Fan and Li Sijiu sat in the first place on the left and right of the lower head respectively, Li Xing stood behind Li Sijiu, and Zhang Chong stood behind Song Qingshu.
"Time is pressing, according to the intelligence, the Yuan soldiers will arrive tomorrow, I won't talk nonsense, the defense measures in Pingwu County are basically equal to nothing, I think instead of defending here, it is better to find a suitable place to snipe on the road that the Yuan army must pass, what do you think?" Song Qingshu said lightly.
Ye Fan looked like a tall man, closed his eyes and said nothing. Li Sijiu secretly glanced at Ye Fan, and said to Song Qingshu very interestingly: "The general is a battle-hardened person, and the general is in charge of this conquest, I don't know what the people want to do, but the general asks for orders." ”
"Yes. Song Qingshu replied lightly, Li Sijiu's answer was not unexpected, he just said this to express an attitude, since ancient times, the army has been a hall of words. Not to mention that he was invited by the people of Pingwu County, he came by himself, no matter how he arranged the army and how he used the soldiers, he could not allow others to dictate him.
"I will send people to immediately recruit from among the people, and everyone who qualifies will be enlisted, there is no problem at all. Song Qingshu stared at Li Sijiu and said lightly. That's his main purpose.
"En......" Li Sijiu hesitated for a moment before he said with some hesitation, "General, the people in the city have never experienced war, and if they are sent to the battlefield in such a hurry, I am afraid it will not play a good role." ”
Song Qingshu glanced at Li Sijiu meaningfully, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I didn't think about letting them join the war immediately, the Yuan soldiers who are attacking this time will be dealt with by our Demon Army, and I will let the people of Pingwu County know the strength of our Demon Army! As for letting them join the army, it is to deal with the next attack of the Yuan Army."
You don't think that as long as you repel the Yuan army's attack this time, everything will be fine! If they enlist in the army one day earlier, they can do one day of training, and one more day of training will give them one more chance of survival on the battlefield!"
"Ah, in this way, the old man will thank the general for his great kindness on behalf of the people of the whole city!" Li Sijiu, who knew that he had misunderstood Song Qingshu, knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowed three times, and cried, "The old man knows that he deceives the general, and his sin is unforgivable, so he doesn't dare to ask the general for forgiveness, he only asks the general to let the old man do his part to resist the Yuan." When the soldiers retreat, the old decay will kill himself to pay for his sins!"
Song Qingshu looked at him lightly, half loud, and said, "You get up, I don't need you to die." Your death means nothing to me, on the contrary, it means more to me that you live. If you really want to pay for your sins, just cooperate with me. In the current Pingwu County, you are the only one who has the prestige to twist the people of the whole city into a rope. ”
"This ...... , the old decay must do his best!" Li Sijiu said firmly.
"Ha Luha, the general is magnanimous and dedicated to the people, and he is worthy of being a righteous man who exposes the anti-Yuan for the people, and he is also worthy of being the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor. The general came to Pingwu County to fight against the Yuan, this is the blessing of the people of Pingwu County, what a blessing!" Ye Fan, who had been wandering on the side for a long time, finally came back to his senses, and said with the admiration of the Dao Bone Immortal Wind.
Song Qingshu glanced at him with disdain, and scolded indignantly in his heart, pretending to be forced! Be careful of being struck by lightning! In other words, this kid is really a genius who plays with magic sticks, I remember that when I saw him two days ago, he was not so proficient in pretending to be forced, and he didn't expect to see him for two days, and he made rapid progress!
Time couldn't withstand too much delay, the discussion was set, Song Qingshu immediately arranged for Zhang Chong to stay in Pingwu City to recruit troops, while he took the Demon Swinging Army and went straight to the only way for the Yuan army, Eagle's Beak!
