"The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and thousands of horses are riding in Bei Mang."

The escape of the saint triggered a chain effect in the camp. Although no enemies were seen yet, it was already out of control.

Frankly speaking, Dulan Khan's large-scale raid exceeded everyone's expectations, and it was not surprising that such chaos occurred. However, the chaos actually spread from the core area, which seemed a bit frustrating.

At this opportunity, looking at the saint galloping in the afternoon sun, as if he had returned to his youth, and looking at the members of the Wei royal family who were left behind by him, Zhang Xing inexplicably felt a strange sense of historical participation, and then I think of that completely irrelevant historical nursery rhyme, so feel free to use it. Anyway, this is definitely not the plot of the White House Siege.

In fact, chaos does not mean ineffectiveness, especially since Dulan Khan may have just landed at this time... Moreover, although the palace people, eunuchs, and Jinwu guards are more chaotic than the other, the peripheral army has unexpectedly maintained its resilience.

Not to mention that Prime Minister Su Wei is an old scholar from generation to generation (his father was the former Prime Minister), but members of the Guanlong clan under the military system naturally have a tradition of military education and experience. At this time, although the saint lost his temper, he learned from another prime minister Looking down from Changying, two ministers, a county guard, three generals, and eighteen lieutenant generals all showed extremely strong qualities. They maintained a rough formation, chasing the saint while holding him back. The chaotic chamberlains, palace servants, and eunuchs headed towards Yunnei City...

And before that night, they swarmed in and arrived at the foot of Yunnei Castle.

When we arrived at the city, it was already dark, but Sima Changying still commanded Ruoding. He sat upright on the top of the city and divided the troops on the spot.

Instead, Wei Chi, the Minister of Punishment, suppressed order in the city, tested military resources, and quickly calmed people's hearts;

With the authority of Duan, Minister of the Ministry of War, he organized messengers and sentries to send orders to all military stations in all directions, and specially inquired about the military situation;

Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi County, took stock of supplies, divided the city's garrison areas, inspected the gaps in the city's defenses... and directly demolished private houses to strengthen the city's defenses;

Then Sima Huada, the general of the left Tunwei, led the Changshui Army's right-wing general, Sanzhonglang, to defend the north city. The right Xiaowei general, Zhang Shi'an, led the middle base army's right-wing, three-zhonglang general to defend the west city. The right-waiting general Li Anyuan led the shooting. The third lieutenant general on the right wing of the Sheng Army guarded the south city, and Zhao Guang, the first lieutenant general on the left wing of the Changshui Army who had hastily returned, was temporarily assigned to lead the third lieutenant general on the left wing of the Changshui Army to guard the east city;

Not counting this, there are also six Zhonglang generals from the left wing of the Zhongba Army and the left wing of the Shesheng Army, who belong to two ministers, Duan Wei and Wei Chi, to prepare for calls within the city;

Finally, the Jinwu Guards returned to Beiya and were under the control of all the princes to protect the saints, queens, princes, and grandsons.

After everything was arranged, the husband and Prime Minister Su Wei went to the county mansion in the center of the city to meet the saint.

The saint didn't mention how he reacted. He only talked about Zhang Xing. He entered the city early and took the little princess into the governor's house calmly. He had just found a father-in-law to put the little princess down. When he heard about this arrangement, he was naturally amazed for a moment.

Immediately, I heard the corresponding decree, saying that the saint not only fully approved Sima Xianggong's arrangement, but also temporarily increased the number of the first Zhonglang general on the left wing of the navy, Zhao Guang, nicknamed Moyun Golden Winged Dapeng, as the right Wuwei general.

At the same time, Xiao Yu, the queen's youngest brother, was temporarily promoted to the palace eunuch to serve as a minister to assist the two princes. At this time, the minister really needed a saint confidant who could enter and leave the palace at will and communicate with the front line.

A moment later, another edict was issued, which was to immediately send elite cavalry out of the city to explore the military situation and search for leftover supplies and personnel along the way. At the same time, all the ministries and guards were divided into two, and they immediately took turns eating and resting to ensure combat strength; moreover, the food for all palace residents was reduced.

Half, meat is given priority to the city.

Then he issued an order that once order was restored, the Jinwu Guards would immediately return to the command of Sima Xianggong and take turns garrisoning the city.

From what he heard, Vice Chang Jian thought that the person who cried in front of the emperor and complained about the two horses' trough was not Sima Xianggong at all; and the person who galloped hard in the sun was not this saint either.

With the ministers' ability to deal with crises, and with the saints being good at accepting advice and appointing people on their merits, the Wei Dynasty is bound to last for generations to come!

But... why is there such a chaos, and even in two days, there is a possibility that the Wu tribe will attack the city?

Zhang Xing didn't see Li Ding all night, and he didn't have time to complain. Instead, he followed Duke Niu's instructions and was asked to rest on the spot in the brightly lit Mayi County Sheriff's Mansion, waiting for his shift.

Then, he was awakened by strange shouts and curses in the middle of the night.

"Third brother, the Wu tribe is here." Even Qin Bao became a little nervous and directly pushed Zhang Xing who was beside him.

That's right, the troops approaching the city could not wait until dawn. This also truly verified another fact. No one deceived this saint.

The Wu people are really coming, even if they are just the vanguard, they are really coming.

As soon as he thought about it, for some reason, Zhang Sanlang just nodded and responded lazily: "I understand."

Then, he turned over in the crowded, warm and complex-smelling Datong Shop, and fell asleep again under the admiring gazes of Zhou Xingfan and others.

Deputy Changjian Zhang's performance today, coupled with his previous small-scale "prophecy" and his previous "prestige", made these people feel even more admirable.

After waking up, it was already the morning of the next day... It was said that there were already many Wu cavalry outside this day, but Zhang Xing didn't even look at them... He was looking around for some more useful information.

For example, there are probably 150,000 people in the city including the common people. Even if the number of palace people, women and children is reduced by half, the food will only be enough for twenty-two days.

For another example, the messenger has been sent out in large numbers before the Wu clan encircles them, so there is no reason why reinforcements cannot come.

Just like this, the day passed in a haze, and one morning, after Zhang Xing had eaten and drank enough, he got his first serious job. An order came from Du Gong Niu asking him to escort the newly appointed provincial minister, his uncle Xiao.

I went up to the top of the city to observe the military situation of the Wu clan, which was said to have reached its main force, and also to observe the morale of the troops on the city wall.

Of course, there was nothing to say about this. Deputy Changjian Zhang immediately ordered Qin Bao and more than a dozen Fulong Guards, and directly escorted Uncle Guo, who was just forty years old, to the north city.

As soon as they arrived at the city, Zhang Xing and Uncle Guo were stunned on the spot.

Uncle Guo didn't know why he was stunned. Zhang Xing had just realized at this moment why the tribe on the border of Kuhai had shouted out such words as 200,000 people.

Because no one knows how many people are in front of them?

As mentioned before, there are mountains on the left and right sides of Yunnei City to the north, Wuzhou Mountain to the northwest, and Baishan Mountain to the northeast. The feasible passage between the two mountains is about twenty or thirty miles, but at this time, it has been filled by the main force of the Wu tribe.

In other words, the Wu tribe's army has been arrayed for nearly thirty miles from left to right, and the camp has not yet been set up. There are still a large number of troops and livestock moving forward along this passage to press them.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

With the number and scale reaching this level, the Lianwu clan is divided according to tribes and is arranged in a slightly chaotic manner, as well as obviously incomplete armors, weapons, slightly shabby tents, clothing, and extremely messy livestock. At this time

They all show a breathtaking splendor and majesty in the sun.

This situation is just like when you are facing a giant bear that is ten times your size, it is impossible to care whether the other person has a bald patch of hair on its body.

What happened to baldness?

One bite and I'll bite your head off!

"Wei Shangshu, how many people are here?" Xiao Yu was stunned for seven or eight breaths before he carefully stepped forward and came to the city gate tower. Then he immediately asked in a low voice an acquaintance with the highest position here.

"Did Xiao Shizhong say it was within sight, or did he mean that all the troops and horses were deployed this time?" Shangshu Wei of the Ministry of Punishments, wearing red armor and a helmet, asked coldly, with the whip marks still on his face.

"We all want to know." Xiao Yu responded sincerely.

"There are about 100,000 people in sight," Wei Chi said. "As for the total number, based on the sentry's reply and my personal inspection here, as well as comparing it with the recorded eastern Wu tribes, it is estimated that there are 20

Ten thousand people, if you count the people guarding the boats on the seashore, it would be even more..."

"Isn't it said that the eastern Wu Clan only has 150,000 soldiers and horses?" Xiao Yu became more and more shocked. "Where did the more than 200,000 come from? The central Wu Clan really secretly rebelled?"

"I didn't see the flags of the Wu clan in the central part. Most of them should be boatmen, who are now accompanying the army and civilians." Duan Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out of the nearby gatehouse and explained calmly. "If we really consider the extra combat power, instead of

We should be concerned about these people, and we should be more concerned about the original eastern Wu tribe who were placed on the edge of the Bitter Sea, those who came to report the news at the beginning yesterday... Once they switch over, our true and false will be known immediately, and the surrounding Mayi

All other cities within the territory will be captured, and the combat power on the other side will be significantly increased."

Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Xing was also thoughtful.

After watching for a while, Xiao Yu asked seriously: "May I ask the two ministers, are you sure that Dulan Khan himself is here?"

"It should be here!" Wei Chi's face remained unchanged, and his description did not change. "At dawn, I saw with my own eyes the rotten-winged dragon flag with black stripes on the white ground appearing below the city. There seemed to be a golden helmet in the distance.

A’s big shot... right now he should be arranging for the siege and the tribe to go to the surrounding towns to conduct strategy."

"How many people in the city must be around...?"

"At least the fifteen cities of Mayi, the four cities of Dingxiang, and the three cities of Yanmen North, totaling twenty-two cities." It was Duan Wei who took the initiative to explain the specific information. "The good news is that more than half of these twenty-two cities are occupied by military personnel.

There are not many people in Tunbian City, and there are not many grains, livestock and wealth... The bad news is that these cities cannot stop the overwhelming offensive of the Wu clan, and they are afraid that they will be swept away... just like when the late emperor first ascended the throne.

Like the Wu Clan sweeping through the six northwest counties."

"The population, livestock, wealth, and silk are all in one roll. What's left of the land?" Xiao Yu immediately thought of some old words in his mind. "I remember the edict from back then."

"Shizhong Xiao has a good memory." Wei Chi sneered in response, not sure whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

Zhang Xing immediately went to see Xiao Yu.

But it is obvious that the uncle who temporarily ascended the throne has a relatively peaceful personality. He is not angry, but continues to ask seriously: "Is it possible that after the Wu tribe has conquered these twenty-two cities, they will continue to go south and sweep away

South Yanmen and Loufan?"

"Unlikely!" Duan Wei said. "There must be some tribes among the Wu clan soldiers and horses who can't help but enter the south from the east-west passage to plunder, but it is difficult for a small group of soldiers and horses to break through Fenyang Palace and White Wolf Fortress...

As long as these two places are not lost, those small tribes will not dare to really go deep."

"Is it possible that Dulan Khan will send most of his elite troops south?" Xiao Yu also performed his duties conscientiously and asked no questions.

"No way." Wei Chi became impatient.

"Why?" Xiao Yu seemed to really don't understand.

"Because the saint is here." Wei Chi looked back in frustration and said only one sentence. "Their ultimate purpose can only be the saint! Otherwise, this trip will be ridiculous!"

Xiao Yu fell silent immediately.

"Let's put it this way." Compared to Wei Chi who was overly depressed, Duan Wei still spoke calmly. "It is precisely because Du Lan's target is a saint that he brought 150,000 people because he had to attack with 100,000 people.

The city needs 50,000 people to provide reinforcements from the south and east, so that such a shocking plan can be possible."

Xiao Yu nodded heavily, and then wanted to turn back. Obviously, he got the information he needed most for his trip, and it was also the information the saint wanted to know most.

"Tell your majesty, please make preparations early." Wei Chi suddenly interrupted and shouted to the other party. "As I expected, they will be surrounded by people tomorrow morning, and the official battle will begin the day after tomorrow!"

Xiao Yu nodded again and immediately turned around and went down.

Zhang Xing, who had been silent all this time, was sensitive to something wrong.

Those were the two ministers. Although one spoke calmly and the other spoke coldly, they both hinted at the dire situation... It seemed that the city was likely to be breached. At the same time, Zhang Sanlang clearly remembered that Li Ding personally said that on the 15th

It's not that ten thousand people can't capture the city, but it's very likely that the entire eastern Wu tribe will have to pay the price of being dumped... Although the two are not contradictory at all, one emphasizes the danger and the other emphasizes the safety.

how to say?
