After the banquet, Lin Jing inquired in many ways and knew that this time two divisions with a total of more than 10,000 troops were transported, and they were stationed in the city to rest.

He didn't know what he was going to talk about in three days, and he couldn't help but panic.

One was afraid that the Mo family would force them to pay for it, and the other was also worried that the Qi army would come, and the entire Jiaozhou Bay would be destroyed by the war and affect his own industry.

Three days later, all kinds of viscounts from all over the vicinity gathered in the county.

At the beginning, he said that he would unite and start a war to benefit the world's agitation and propaganda, and in the past three days, everyone has already known.

Lin Whale is concerned about his own industry and whether he needs to make more money.

But he didn't want to say a word about the second thing he was worried about at the meeting later, only saying that everything was in accordance with the rules, and there was no need to pay more money for the military if he should serve and be called up.

Lin Whale breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Mo family really had a lot of wealth, and there was no need to levy more taxes for such a campaign. I also think that the Mo family really abides by the rules, he has now been whitewashed, and he has a lot of wealth, what he is most afraid of is not following the rules, as for whether the rules are reasonable and strict, it is secondary, as long as the written law cannot be changed at will.

At the end of the meeting, some special period bans were discussed, and nothing else.

As soon as the meeting ended, many people came to inquire about the news, which were all public, and Lin Jing could let go of the talks.

Many people in the industry breathed a sigh of relief, and the more this was the case, the more confident they felt, and they were afraid that the first war would be devastating.

Reservists and civilians who are often conscripted according to their age and service are also assembled for service in accordance with the rules, and there is no increase in manpower or mobilization.

There is no change in the city, and the hearts of the people are settled.

…………

Jimo City.

Jimo doctor Tian Zhongshou learned that the Mo family suddenly increased troops in Jiaozhou Bay, and he was greatly alarmed.

Jimo is not far from the Mojia family, and it is the center of Qi in the southeast of Jiao, and it is one of the five capitals.

Originally, a standing army of 7,000 people was stationed here, but with the Mo family's invasion of Chu, this standing army has been transferred to Zhucheng to confront the Mo family in Jucheng and Chengyang, in case the Mo family breaks through from the eastern front.

Now there are only 2,000 troops in Jimo City, and the rest are peasant soldiers who can be temporarily conscripted.

Moreover, the city defense of Jimo has not been repaired for many years.

After the end of the previous Qi-Mo War, the Mo family strictly forbade the construction of new city defenses in Jimo in the name of preventing the Marquis of Qi from harming the world.

In that battle, the Qi country was defeated, and he was powerless to resist, so he had to accept it, and he was worried that he would provoke the Mo family and make the Mo family have an excuse to attack Qi again, so he was extremely obedient.

In the past few years of recuperation and internal reactionary changes, I have finally accumulated some wealth and troops, and I have eased up, but the city defense of Jimo City is still the original rammed earth city of the Bronze Age.

The Mo family suddenly transferred troops to land in Jiaozhou Bay, even though the war has not yet begun, but after a little thought, you can know that the Mo family must be preparing to fight Jimo.

Jimo is near the port, and it is the nearby capital, and it is the middle line connecting Jiaodong.

If Jimo City is broken, then the entire Jiaodong area will be the Mo family, coming and going, and no one can stop it.

To the west is Gaomi and Weishui, all of which are plains. After Weishui, not far from Linzi.

At this time, Jimo was not the Jimo of later generations, but near Pingdu, which was on the "waist" of the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

In the past year, in the Wuqi water war, the doctor Zhu Mao built Jimo City, not only to be able to monitor Laiyi, but also to deal with the rear of Wu going north.

Later, the Yue Kingdom built the capital of Langya, and Qi and Yue fought several times, and the geographical location of Jimo was even more important.

Tian Zhong Shou knew that if the Mo family attacked Jimo from Jiaozhou Bay, it would be difficult to hold it, and he could only think hard about the strategy while being anxious.

On the one hand, he sent scout henchmen to secretly investigate, and on the other hand, he quickly sent people to Linzi and Zhucheng to inform him of the matter.

The city soon got the news and was very disturbed, and rumors spread.

Or the Arita clan or the rest of the nobles want to flee to Linzi, or there are people who say that the Mo family is invincible and it is better to surrender.

Tian Zhongshou came up with a good plan, and when the city was chaotic, he did not come forward to stabilize everyone's emotions for the time being, but instead drank and feasted all day long to make everyone feel at ease.

He sent people to throw some minced meat of cattle and sheep at the sacrificial shrine in the city, and for several days it attracted many crows to peck at it.

When it was a foregone conclusion that the Mo family would send troops, he suddenly appeared in the sacrificial shrine, made people arrange the altar, and asked the witch diviner to divination.

Many people in Jimo City went to watch, those crows can often eat carrion here at this time, and they are not afraid of people, and when they see a lot of people, they think that there are sacrifices again, and they fly one after another.

Many of the nobles in the city were surprised, and Tian Zhongshou pretended to ask the people of witches, and secretly sent people to drive away the crows when the people gathered at the shrine.

For a while, the crows flew wildly, chirping, and a crow shrine drum, like a miracle.

After praying, the people of the witch burned the tortoise shell and said to the people: "Good luck." The Mo family has been a disaster for the world for 30 years, and this time it angered God and would suffer a catastrophe. ”

"If it is surrounded by Jimo, it will be difficult to take it. At that time, the soldiers of Zhucheng and Linzi will come to help, besieging their army and Jimo City, and the Mo family will be defeated. ”

"The crows are flying everywhere, this God has sent an order to the world, and God will send gods and men to help in this battle."

The witch diviner said it three times in a row, and many of the onlookers around looked at the crows flying in the sky, and they really believed it.

These people and the Mo family's policy are mortal enemies, and they are afraid of themselves, plus the Mo family has maintained an invincible reputation over the years, and they also know that it is difficult to resist in addition to fear, and they are inevitably looking forward to some magic skills.

Tian Zhongshou did not know much about military affairs, nor could he command operations, let alone how to develop industry and commerce, accumulate wealth, and train the army.

But as a nobleman at the level of a doctor, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, so he could think of a means to use the power of ghosts and gods to stabilize the army's heart.

He knew that a great war was coming, and the most terrible thing before the war was not the strength of the enemy, but the lack of fighting spirit on his own side.

Originally, the Mo family had the reputation of being good at attacking the city, and there was a myth of invincibility, that is, there were not many standing troops in the city, and the peasants refused to fight, and if the nobles fled first, then Jimo would not have to defend.

Since he is a member of the Tian family, he was assigned to Jimo, and he became the doctor of Jimo, and he is also a hero with obsession in his heart.

He knew very well that if Jimo could not hold the danger of losing in a short period of time, it would make the field army in Zhucheng be surrounded by the Mo family, and once that field army was destroyed, there would be no soldiers to fight in the east of Linzi.

If you can hold Jimo for at least a month, you will be able to buy time.

Obviously, the Mo family attacked the east and the west this time, and no one expected that the Mo family would land in Jiaodong by sea and fight from east to west.

If you can defend for a month, the army in Linzi and other places will be ready, and you may even win a battle in the Jiaodong area, boost the morale of the nobles, and declare that the myth of the invincibility of the Mo family will be shattered.

Although he didn't understand those geometric nine numbers, and he didn't know how far the means of attacking and defending the city had evolved now, he believed that as long as the soldiers were willing to fight, they could defend it.

That's exactly what we did.

On the altar, the shamans prayed again and again, repeating words such as "God will send gods and men to help in battle", and after three times, a man in the crowd suddenly stood up.

He shouted, "Wow! God sent me to teach you! Can I be a teacher? ”

The nobles who were desperate for the miracle turned their heads, only to see that the person who shouted that he was an oracle was only in his twenties, and he was not known before, and he was dressed in the ordinary clothes of the army.

Tian Zhongshou hurriedly greeted him, knelt down in front of this ordinarily dressed soldier, and said to everyone: "This must be a divine envoy!" ”

When the nobles saw that Tian Zhong Shougui was the doctor, they actually knelt down in front of such a low-born person, and thought of the previous scene where crows flew everywhere, and they all thought: "This person is from a lowly background, if it is not a divine envoy, how can the doctor kneel?" ”

Look at the soldier who claimed to be an envoy of God, his eyes rolled white, not like human eyes, but he really wanted to die and was possessed by something.

Tian Zhongshou invited him to sit on the east side, and Tian Zhongshou sat under him.

The soldier who claimed to be a divine messenger said, "God sent me because the Mo family was guilty, so I was punished." ”

"There are ten sins of the Mo family."

"First, it is called Ming Ghost and Heavy God, but in fact, it is blasphemous and blasphemous, and it is known to talk about the will of heaven. Believing in ghosts and gods but saying that there is no life in the world, and strength can win life, this is one of the major sins! ”

"Second ......"

This soldier looks ordinary, dresses ordinarily, and speaks in a local dialect, not an aristocratic accent.

can talk about ten sins in a row, and every sentence is transparent, which is definitely not something that an ordinary person can say.

After talking about the ten sins, the soldier said: "This time the Mo family will be defeated, God sent me to teach the doctor to the capital." The order of the doctor is a prophecy. ”

Tian Zhongshou led the rest of the nobles in the city to thank the gods and add more sacrifices, and many nobles breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

In the distance, among a group of people watching the excitement, there were several spies from the Mo family.

They were really dumbfounded by Tian Zhongshou's performance, and they didn't see Tian Zhongshou repairing his weapons and reorganizing the city defenses in the past few days, they thought that Tian Zhongshou was knowing that he was invincible and was ready to flee.

Who would have thought that such a play would be staged today, and it was God and God's envoy, and I couldn't hold back my laughter when I watched these meticulous works.

One thought to himself, such a method may have been useful twenty years ago, but where can it be used now? You don't know that many people in the market now know that thunder in the world is just electricity?

If you can only resist the enemy like this, I am afraid that this attack will really destroy the withering and decaying.

These few people shook their heads, quite disappointed in their hearts, and sent back such information, but I was afraid that the above might not believe it.

After all...... Jimo is too close to Sishang, and Jimo is an important transit place connecting Jiaodong and Sihai road transportation, frequent business and trade exchanges, there are many lecturers between the market, and it is really useless to do this set in Jimo.

This is no longer an era when a group of aristocratic warriors can turn the tide of the war by fighting bravely, that is, there are few ink cannons, few guns, the walls are not solid, and there are no reinforcements outside, even if there is really God's help, what is the use?

Seeing the end, a scout couldn't help but shudder, and said secretly: "Tian Zhongshou can't let that 'divine envoy' give the order, give up the city and not defend it, but go out of the city to fight, right?" If that's the case, our division really doesn't want to get too many merits, and when the time comes, we will only be laughed at by other divisions...... At that time, other divisions are fighting with people, but we are fighting a group of fools, where will this face be placed after the war? ”
