On the evening of February 15, outside the city of Nantong.

A soldier lay on a scarred horse and ran towards the city gate.

Because the city gate of Nantong City had been closed, the horse stopped at the moat, and the soldier fell down.

The next day, the workers who had begun to go out to cut the timber found the soldier, who was already dead.

When the catcher was inspecting, he found a letter with four big characters written on it.

The catcher didn't dare to delay, and immediately handed it to the county magistrate who had not yet gotten up, and after reading the letter in his middle coat, the county magistrate fell to the ground with a pop.

These servants pinched people, and after several treatments, the first sentence of the county order woke up was: "Thousands of miles urgent, this letter must be sent to the capital in ten days, speed, speed." ”

The servant hurriedly put the letter away, and as he received it, the servant saw the contents of a letter.

In the afternoon of the same day, everyone in the city knew that the imperial army was trapped in Tianyi City by the southern army, and several attempts to break through the enemy's encirclement failed, and now Concubine Ping needs the assistance of the imperial army.

As soon as this news came out, the city panicked, and after Lin Quan got the news, he personally went to the city to appease the residents of the city, saying that they couldn't mess up now, they had already taken countermeasures, even if the southern army arrived here, they would not want to attack this place.

At the same time, Lin Quan asked the people in the city to step up the defense of the city, asked the magistrate to write a letter, asked the Xiang army from the nearby county town to arrive, and sent Lei Zhenzi by the way.

The only thing Lin Quan can count on is the army stationed in Jingming City, and now as long as Concubine Ping and them hold out for a month, then the army of Jingming City will come to relieve the siege.

Lin Quan arranged the things in the city and gave the martial arts people a task, asking them to inquire how many people there were in the southern country, and they actually surrounded the 100,000 troops of the imperial court.

That night, Lin Quan didn't sleep all night, looking at the city defense map, thinking about where the defense could be strengthened, and how many people could be sent from where.

On the morning of the seventeenth, the magistrate came to Lin Quan and asked what Lin Quan should do.

Lin Quan looked at the panicked appearance of the magistrate, and said to the magistrate: "What is the way now, I can only hold Nantong City, if Nantong City is lost, then how can the army of Jingming City come." You continue to write a letter and let the county seat of Xiangyun Mansion play, this matter is urgent, and you can't be sloppy. ”

"Lin Gongzi, this imperial army can't break through, then there are at least one million people in the south this time, and these million people have pressed over, how can Nantong City, a small county town, be defended."

"Even if the Million Southern Kingdom is really a million army, we have to wait until the army of Jingming City arrives. Ming Mansion, do you know that if Nantong City falls, then Concubine Ping and they will have no way to retreat. Concubine Ping died in the responsibility of Dangshan, you can bear it, or I can afford it",

When the magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but weaken, fell to the ground, and said in despair: "Young Master Lin, it seems that we are really going to have a festival."

"The dynasty has been raising soldiers for many years, doesn't the Ming Mansion even have this preparation?"

"This official, this official, this official has read the books of sages for so many years, so naturally he has long thought of this day."

Lin Quan looked at the magistrate like this, and said indifferently: "Women can still keep festivals, and you eat the king's Lu in the Ming Mansion, if you want to live, take off this crown now and leave here." ”

The magistrate was angered by Lin Quan's words, and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Gongzi, although the official is not as knowledgeable as you, but the official also came out of the cold window for ten years, and the official knows the eight words of sacrificing oneself for righteousness and killing oneself." ”

Lin Quan couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Zhixian didn't have the heart to escape. He was really worried that this magistrate would choose to surrender when the time came.

Lin Quan didn't say anything to the magistrate, and asked the carpenter, who said that half of the trees in the mountain had been cut down.

Lin Quan said that there was no need to cut it down, and it was burned directly, so as not to be used by the enemy when it happened.

"My lord, this"

"This is a last resort, and now that the walls are clear, the enemy cannot be allowed to use local materials."

Although the carpenters were reluctant, they understood that what Lin Quan said was right.

Lin Quan also asked the scouts to check, if an army came here, they would report immediately, and then Lin Quan and they were ready to directly seal the city gate.

In the afternoon of the same day, the martial arts people who went to check the virtual reality came to report, and they told Lin Quan that near Tianyi City, only places where people could stand were full of people, and the army of the southern country was about more than 300,000.

"How so, how are there so many."

When Lin Quan was wondering, Yundu sent someone to deliver a letter, Lin Quan read the letter, and smashed his fist on the desk.

Chen Jingjing took a look, and Yundu told Lin Quan that in fact, the camp built by Dangshan was a calculation for a long time in the southern country.

After Ulysses IV ascended the throne, the southern countries had a strong fear of the Yu dynasty in the north.

They thought that instead of waiting for Yu Chao to come to the door, it would be better to strike first, so they began to plan.

In the end, they devised this plan, they now built a camp in the mountains, and then asked Yundu to tell the county order, so that the county order would naturally inform the imperial court.

This unexpected thing was that Lin Quan arrived in Nantong City, of course, this variable was beneficial to them, so they talked to Lin Quan about the things they originally talked about with the magistrate.

Five months was also in their calculations, and they knew that the imperial court had received this news and that it would take time to mobilize the army, so they deliberately made this May appointment.

In the middle of May, they did not build a camp, but delivered food to the mountains. In five months, the food in Dangshan was enough to feed a million troops for a year.

Five months later, their army arrived at Dangshan with construction personnel.

The eight-pillar Tianyi City was also deliberately pretended to be weak in defense, and when the army of the Yu Dynasty went to Tianyi City, they trapped the army of the Yu Dynasty according to the plan of many drills.

Now that all this is going on as they planned, Concubine Ping is also trapped in Tianyi City.

When Yundu wrote this, he felt guilty that his three senior brothers were unwilling to assist Nanguo and were eliminated by the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Master.

And Yundu agreed to do this because he was afraid of death.

He didn't know much about this plan, but after the incident, he guessed it based on what he had heard before.

Yundu felt self-blame, although this time he was a little minion in it, and he played a very small role, but thinking of more than 100,000 people now, trapped and dying in Dangshan, he felt uneasy in his heart.

He could only write a letter to tell the story, hoping to alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Chen Jingjing said to Lin Quan: "Husband, I don't blame you for this matter, the enemy has already planned, and you are not an immortal, you have no heavenly eyes, and it is understandable that you have fallen into the enemy's trap." ”

"I really should have understood from the beginning that since Nanguo was building a camp in Dangshan, there must be some plot behind it. It's a pity that I"

Lin Quan would now think that all kinds of things were wrong. It's a pity that this is all an afterthought, and it's useless.

Lin Quan thought that he was being calculated by Frog and others, and he was furious, and said word by word: "Frog, since you want to use me, okay, then I will show you how powerful I am." ”

Lin Quan stood up and asked people to start erecting a wooden wall on the southern city wall, and now they were waiting for Lei Zhenzi to arrive.

He also inspected the stones and other items, and saw that these had been prepared for a long time.

Lin Quan finally arrived at the south city wall, looked at the side of the mountain, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, come on, let's see who is more skilled." ”

Chen Jingjing stood beside Lin Quan and said to Lin Quan: "Husband, in this way, we should also be prepared. ”

Lin Quan hesitated for a moment and told Chen Jingjing: "It is true that we should recover our strength, but this matter may be risky, and now at this critical juncture, I don't want anything to happen." ”

Hearing Lin Quan say this, Chen Jingjing nodded and said to Lin Quan: "Well, husband, now one person's martial arts doesn't have much effect. ”

Lin Quan was worried and said, "Sister Jing, please go to Jingming City and tell the prefect so that the army stationed in Jingming City can go to support as soon as possible." ”

"Husband, the concubine knows. The concubine will definitely come back as soon as possible. ”

"No need, you Le Qiong and her go with you."

"No, if we go, when the time comes, if you need to recover your strength, who will you find at that time?"

"Don't care about martial arts. If you don't leave early, it will be difficult for you to leave when the southern army arrives. ”

"Husband, let's go, what will the people in the city think, they all want your Lin Gongzi's family to leave, why don't they leave, husband, for the sake of this city, we will also accompany you to the end."

Seeing Chen Jingjing like this, Lin Quan's heart warmed, and he said to Chen Jingjing: "Sister Jing, it's okay if you want to stay, but when the time comes, you can't make a move easily, Shaowen and Duowen are still waiting for your mother at home." ”

"They're waiting for you, the father, too."

When Lin Quan heard this, he sighed and continued: "I know, you better go early and come back early." ”

Chen Jingjing said yes, and then left the city, and hurried to Jingming City.

At this time, the magistrate came over and told Lin Quan that many people were leaving the city, many of them were gentry, and the magistrate didn't know what to do.

Lin Quan said that he knew, and Zhixian arrived at the North City Gate, and at this time, the squires who were about to leave the land of right and wrong had already gathered here.

Lin Quan stood in front of the city gate, looked at their frightened expressions, and said to them: "Everyone, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil. ”

When a squire heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Gongzi, now the army of the southern country is coming, and we people can't carry it on our shoulders, we can't lift it in our hands, and we can't afford to wear clothes, so it's useless to stay in the city. If we can live because of this, we will definitely set up an immortal shrine for you Lin Gongzi and worship it every day. ”
