The current Xia Mu, in Wugong County, is not as urgent and embarrassed as the reported military situation, on the contrary, it is relaxed and comfortable.

After receiving the latest wave of assistance from the planting sage, Xia Mu now wants money and food, soldiers and soldiers, and he is defending the city, although the city defense of martial arts is not as good as the Xiongguan fortress, but it is not something that these soldiers in Xiliang can easily take down.

Reporting the so-called emergency military situation to Chang'an's seed shao is just a common method.

If the generals and commanders are outside, if they don't know how to show their hard work and don't know how to report some false and real military information, how can they get the attention of the imperial court?

If the situation is more serious, on the one hand, no one will think that it is easier here, and then there will be some careful thinking, on the other hand, you can also show your hard work and efforts, as well as the determination to survive and die in the martial arts county.

This kind of thing Xia Mu is naturally proficient in doing.

Of course, the matter of defending the city, Xia Mu, as a veteran, is also not ambiguous, after all, it involves his own life. Whether it's rolling wood and stones, or bows and crossbows and arrows, they are basically fully prepared, plus some fragments of fire oil and gold juice, etc., which are also a lot.

Therefore, when Han Sui and Fan Chou led the troops to come, they tried a few times, and then gave up the ant attachment to attack the city, but the loss was really a bit big, and they couldn't afford it, so they settled down outside the city, and after a few days of see-sawing, as time went by, the Xiliang soldiers outside the martial arts city gradually ran out of food.

Of course, this is what Xia Mu likes to see, and he is quite complacent about it.

The city wall of martial arts is not high, but standing on the city wall, you can still take the Xiliang camp under the city into your eyes, Xia Mu is also a veteran of the battlefield, and his sensitivity to grain and grass is still very high.

When Xia Mu told this assertion to his generals, he gained a circle of admiring eyes and flattering words, because everyone had led the soldiers, and they knew that the lack of food was the rhythm of falling apart in a moment.

Although Xia Mu is humble in his mouth, he is happy in his heart, and after a few more days, he can sit down and receive a great achievement without even fighting......

"Lamb and leopard coat, now you can get ......"

Xia Mu twisted his beard proudly, and said softly, he was about to end today's routine, and he had just turned halfway around, when he suddenly felt that something was not right, so he stopped, and looked back again to carefully observe the camp of the Xiliang soldiers under the city, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a little weird.

Xia Mu looked at it, his brows furrowed, he felt as if there was something in his mind, but he just couldn't get it out, and after being depressed for a while, he still couldn't think of it, so he shook his head and walked back slowly.

When he returned to the palace in Wugong City, Xia Mu was still thinking about it, when people are old, they may have more experience than young people, but the speed of energy and brain rotation is much worse than when they were young.

On the pear tree in front of the hall, a few birds and birds chirped and jumped around, making Xia Mou's energy a little unable to concentrate, and he was frowning, ready to call someone to blast these noisy birds away, when he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly rushed from the palace to the city, and looked at the camp of Xiliang again, and after a while, he slammed the battlements of the city wall, and said angrily: "Good thief! Even so-and-so almost hid it! ”

The captain on duty at the city gate was wondering why Xia Mu went and returned, and when he saw Xia Mu say this, he couldn't help asking, "General?" This one...... I don't know what to say? ”

Xia Mu pointed to the Xiliang camp under the city with his hand and said: "The art of war has words, and those who stand with a rod are hungry!" Bird gatherer, void also! Now there are many rods in the Xiliang thief barracks, and the birds and birds are hovering, and I am afraid that the soldiers in the camp have left the camp under the pretense of picking wood! ”

"Huh?" The lieutenant was a little dazed.

Xia Mu stomped his feet and shouted, "Someone!" Drumming Gathering! The camp of thieves will be destroyed today! ”

The camp of the Xiliang soldiers is really an empty camp, Xia Mu sent his troops out of the city, and the remaining soldiers of the Xiliang camp suddenly scattered, running faster than anything else, although the camp was burned, but there was not much gain.

When Xia Mu was pondering these golden cicadas shelling the Xiliang soldiers to that place, several cavalry from the northwest rushed to Wugong.

The cavalry who came from afar were in a mess, mud and sweat mixed together, and there were still knife wounds or arrow wounds on their arms, and even the strips of cloth used to bind the wounds were black and red, losing their original color.

When the cavalry saw Xia Mu, he hurriedly fell to the ground, took out the letter asking for help in his arms, and said bitterly: "General! Meiyang is in danger! The Xiliang thieves detoured to Gongshui, and the soldiers came to the city! Willing to die, I hope the general will come to the aid of Meiyang as soon as possible! ”

What the?

Xia Mu's triangular eyelids that were originally pulling open all of a sudden, and the Xiliang thief soldiers actually went to Meiyang!

Originally, Meiyang was Guo Yan's fiefdom, but Guo Yan didn't die, so it was equivalent to being taken back by the imperial court, but when Guo Bi was in power before, he poured materials into his own fiefdom, so it is estimated that there are still a lot of grain and grass materials in Meiyang now, but the soldiers that Guo Yan arranged to garrison in Meiyang have just been cleaned up, and they haven't had time to send other generals and soldiers to garrison, and now Meiyang is probably at most a fake captain leading seven or eight hundred county soldiers......

Broken! Xia Mu's face couldn't help but change......

Wugong is still a little far away from Meiyang, and he can't hear or see the tragic situation of the battlefield in Meiyang County, but he can also detect one or two from the cavalry who came to report the news, which makes Xia Mou, who was originally confident, a little at a loss all of a sudden.

The battle flag erected on the side was still rolling in the wind, and the bright red flag no longer looked like a festive feeling, but like bright blood rolling, as if it was about to flow down in the next moment.

Leaving martial arts to support Meiyang?

Leave the well-equipped and well-prepared Wugong County to support the county seat of Meiyang that will fall at some point?

“…… A certain already knew ......" Xia Mu waved his hand and let the wounded messenger cavalry go down first.

Xia Mu tilted his head slightly, looked at the beams above the hall, and was silent.

As long as in the martial arts, as long as the grain and grass in the martial arts county are exhausted, although this is not too big a martial arts county, it must be stable, compared to other counties, in this martial arts city, the granary is full, the arrows are sufficient, even the spare bowstring ready to be replaced, all kinds of spear head armor and other kinds of blades and armor are sufficient, the equipment used to defend the city, are ready to stop, not to mention the rolling wood and stone on the city, and erect layers of placards in the inner circle of the wall battlements, There were also a few wagons loaded with sand and gravel stuffed in the city gate, fire extinguishers were piled up in the corners of the city walls, and deer bars that could be laid and locked at any time, not to mention a large number of auxiliaries and civilians, all on standby in the city.

In this martial arts city, not to mention that the Xiliang soldiers are less than 10,000 troops, even if they come with 20,000 or 30,000, Xia Mu is still sure that they will be firmly blocked outside the city!

Everyone was ready to wait for the dying counterattack of the Xiliang soldiers.

Xia Mu led those who came to garrison Wugong County, whether they were officers or ordinary soldiers, they were all generals and soldiers who had fought for a long time, and they were all loyal to the imperial court. Xia Mu originally estimated that although the Xiliang people's attack this time must be ferocious, but the most difficult time has passed, and they only need to support the past few days, under their own command and dispatch, they can drag the Xiliang thieves into the abyss without food, and when the time comes, they can easily obtain the fruits of victory.

And such a plan also went quite smoothly at the beginning, until today.

Hearing the military information from Meiyang's desperate death, Xia Mu's heart was like a horse monkey loaded with dozens of them, heavy and heavy to death, scratching and scratching uncomfortably......

At this moment, the people who came to martial arts with Xia Mu and served by his side were all the sons and nephews of his own family who he promoted. These children of the Xia clan led his own soldiers, on the one hand, they accumulated military experience, and on the other hand, they also guarded Xia Mu's safety.

These children of the Xia clan are going to the battlefield now, and they must still be a little worse, but Xia Mu doesn't think that there is anything wrong with employing nepotism, is it reasonable to prevent their own children from not using them, and then they have to use outsiders? With his current status, what is the problem with using some of his own children?

In comparison, these sons and nephews who will be more intimate can be regarded as a step forward for Xia Mu to pave the way for them in advance, and these children of the Xia family will naturally be more thoughtful and meticulous than those ordinary ordinary people, and they will be more at ease.

The only fly in the ointment is that most of his Xia children have never experienced military affairs at all, and have not officially been on any battlefield, even if they have come to Wugong County these days, they have not actually led any soldiers, mainly to learn by Xia Mu's side, and most of the time is still spent on arranging and serving Xia Mou's life, of course, the basic knowledge of commanding troops can also be learned somewhat.

In addition, there were some doormen and staff, who heard about the emergency military situation at this time, and they also gathered one after another.

In the Han Dynasty, the protégé of the deceased official is a convention, but also a kind of network of contacts, when Xia Mou came back and obtained the position of Jiuqing, many officials who originally had no way to find Xia Mou's disciples, how much mixed with some qualifications and military merits, to facilitate the future career to go further.

Although the Han Dynasty had many official positions, above the court, and there were many positions among the county guards in various places, it was not so easy to stand out from the crowd and really get real power in a group of Langguan reserves......

To be Xia Mu's protégé and staff, of course, is not a dull person, not everyone can have a guide to the country, but when it comes to administrative and military affairs, it is also indispensable, with Xia Mu coming to Wugong County, facing the increasingly difficult Xiliang soldiers, many people have written a lot of passionate words, and they are not high-spirited.

However, when they learned that Meiyang was attacked, the expressions on the faces of these protégés and staff members were wonderful, and they all seemed to have heard something sensational, and they looked at each other for a while, dumbfounded.

"If you have any good ideas, you can talk about it......" Xia Mu was silent for a while, and then asked in his voice.

When even someone stepped forward and said, "Captain Yuting, Meiyang...... Incorrigible! Hurry to send troops, for fear of being taken advantage of by the thief army! ”

These protégés, when they enter Xia Mou's door, they can be regarded as Xia Mou's faction, to be exact, they basically tie their net worth and life to Xia Mou, and they are also the type of Xia Mu who is defeated by Xia Mou, so when they encounter this kind of matter that is closely related to their safety and security, they immediately clearly analyze the relevant power.

"If you don't send troops, you will lose the flank......" Xia Mu frowned, and the word "difficult" was written on his old face, "Xiliang thieves get the grain of Meiyang, they can attack Kyoto if they enter, and they can return to Xiliang when they retreat, it's difficult......"

A staff member said hesitantly: "Tingwei Mingjian, Meiyang also has soldiers, and there is grain and grass, how can it be that the thief of Xiliang can go down in the middle of the day?" On the contrary, martial arts is an important place for soldiers, if it is lightly separated...... Wang Tingwei thought twice......"

Xia Mu didn't nod or shake his head, still frowning.

Another person arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask Tingwei, can there be a clear order in the DPRK and the central government, and you must wait to rescue Meiyang?" ”

"Not yet." Xia Mu's white eyebrows moved.

"Dare to ask Tingwei, how important is Meiyang? Is Kyoto heavy? The man asked again.

"It's Kyoto." Xia Mu said solemnly.

"It's easy." This person arched his hand and said in a dignified manner, "The Xiliang thieves are erratic, and we are in martial arts, so they will flee north to Meiyang." If we go out to pursue and the thieves divert to another county, how should we deal with it? This is the strategy of the Xiliang thieves. The current strategy, stick to this place, if Xiliang dares to invade Kyoto, you can return to the division, front and back under the city of Chang'an, so that the battle is decided, it is a perfect strategy. ”

Xia Mu pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "...... This is also good...... Quickly reported to Chang'an, saying that we had broken the camp of the martial arts thief army, and most of the thieves in Xiliang fled...... Meiyang's matter, postpone it and report it to ......"

This matter can only be dealt with like this for the time being, and it can't be said that he just asked for a large amount of supplies, and in the blink of an eye, he fell for the strategy of the golden cicada of the Xiliang thief soldiers, and then he was tricked, so where to put his old face?

As for whether you want reinforcements for Meiyang......

Let's take a look at this......
