Since the loss of Kunling Pass and the occupation of the six eastern counties by the Qi army, Chen Du, the county guard of Yuquan County of Dachu, has been in a panic all day, which can be described as three shocks a day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoYuquan and the Cihua neighbors of the six eastern counties, in the past, there were 200,000 border troops in the east blocking the front, Yuquan sat back and relaxed, and almost did not know what the military was. The things they did related to military affairs were nothing more than raising and transporting grain and ordnance for the eastern border army, but even this part was not much, because the food and salary of the eastern border army were basically supported by the six eastern counties, and only the insufficient part would be raised in the interior.

Yuquan County itself has no defense force, and the 3,000 county soldiers are still scattered throughout the county, responsible for the security and anti-theft work of the entire county. As for the defense of the city, it is almost equal to nothing.

Now Yuquan is facing a great change that has not been seen in decades, the six eastern counties are lost, and even Kunling Pass is occupied by the Qi people, Yuquan County is suddenly exposed to the Qi people, in Chen Du's view, Yuquan County is now like a yellow flower girl who has just come out of the bath, and she is covered with a thin sand, just at this time, but a strong man broke in, so what is the fate of this big girl, you can imagine.

Yuquan is rich, in fact, including the six eastern counties, they are all very rich. When the country is peaceful, affluence is naturally the capital to make the local pride in, but when the enemy arrives, affluence becomes a kind of original sin, and the enemy's favorite place is such a place.

In fact, since the emperor was besieged in Luzhou, Cihua County has already had rich families began to flee to Yuquan, they did not stay in Yuquan for long, and fled farther away with their families, and then the people of Yuquan County followed suit.

At that time, the news was still in the blockade, except for these well-informed people, ordinary people did not know what was happening, but when Kunling Pass was full of Qi troops and Qi military flags, they couldn't hide anything, and the wave of escape began.

Chen Du actually wanted to escape, but he was a feudal official, the people fled, no one said anything, if he escaped, he still couldn't escape a dead end, and the court would never let go of such a feudal official who fled without a fight. Chen Du, who had no choice, arranged for his family to embark on the road of escape, but he stayed hard.

Three thousand county soldiers recruited back, and then opened the treasury and took out a large amount of silver to recruit young and strong, but it is a pity that the locals are used to it, and when they heard that the Qi people called, they fled faster than rabbits, but many people who escaped from the six eastern counties have been ruined and are willing to join the army, and there are a group of people who are now nothing, as soldiers, although they may die, but at least they can eat their stomachs, but let Chen Du recruit 10,000 people.

With soldiers, Chen Du's heart is a little more stable, and the next thing is naturally to repair the city wall, arrange the city defense, Yuquan as the rear county of Cihua, but also Cihua's logistics base camp, but there are a lot of weapons in stock here, but there are no worries about weapons. But morale is a big concern.

The morale of the soldiers of the three thousand counties is completely lost, and if it were not for the restraints of military law, I am afraid that there will not be many people left, but the people who escaped from the six eastern counties have high morale with their blood.

Even though Chen Du had never fought, he had seen the momentum of the eastern border army, and he knew very well in his heart that he could not win any battle with the courage of blood alone, and he was just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven, not to mention, he also made up his mind, if the Qi people really fought, he would be on top of Yuquan for a few days, and then run away. At that time, no one can say that they haven't fought yet, they really can't beat it, even the 200,000 people in the eastern border army have been defeated, and they have been able to withstand it for a few days with thousands of county soldiers and some young people! With such an excuse, all aspects make sense.

There are a lot of good horses in the house, and a group of masters of the rivers and lakes recruited by themselves with high salaries to serve as their own guards, and at that time, it is not a big problem to protect themselves from escape.

The days of fear lasted for a month, and when they were most frightened, the cavalry scouts of the Qi people actually went directly to the range of vision and openly peeked into the situation of Yuquan County, which can be described as extremely arrogant. It's a pity that even some of the enemy's scout cavalry, no one in Yuquan County dared to go out of the city to expel the matter.

Chen Du once thought that the deadline was coming, the scouts had come, and the enemy's vanguard would be far away?

After a few days of worrying like this, the worst fears did not come, and the good news came. Marshal Cheng Wuben actually led 30,000 border troops to retreat to Jinghu County and began to build a defensive line, with such an eye-catching target, Qi people's eyes were suddenly attracted to the past. I heard that they had seen several battles, but the Qi people were all repelled by Cheng Shuai.

This news made Chen Du very happy. Cheng Wuben has been stationed in Kunling Pass for more than 20 years, and an official like Chen Du naturally admires this Chu State Iron Wall. When Cheng Shuai was in power, when did the Chu State be so frightened as it is now. He was originally thinking of escaping, but after hearing Cheng Wuben's news, his courage immediately strengthened a lot, and while vigorously publicizing the news in Yuquan County, he sent people to Jinghu to ask Cheng Shuai for help.

Then, the good news came one after another.

The center of the court finally stopped the quarrel, and one after another orders were finally issued from the court, the first support army had begun to set off, and the 20,000 troops of the western frontier army were also rushing here in the starry night.

What made Chen Du even happier was that the imperial court made it clear that the state of Chu had entered the wartime system, Wen Youma Xiangdong was responsible for the general responsibility, Wu Youcheng was responsible for the overall responsibility, and the entire military strength of the Great Chu was handed over to the deployment of Cheng Wuben.

As soon as the courage was strong, Chen Du was naturally energetic, and he would upload and supervise the reinforcement and construction of the city wall every day, the soldiers never came, and the preparation work of Yuquan County was becoming more and more skilled, the broken city wall became stronger day by day, the same kind of city defense weapons were loaded on the city wall, and the soldiers were not like the original soul loss appearance.

In short, when he heard Cheng Shuai's name, the entire Yuquan County seemed to be reborn all of a sudden. The messenger to Jinghu returned, and instead of bringing back reinforcements, he brought back ten officers. It is said that Jinghu's current strength is also insufficient, and Jinghu is the center of the second line of defense this time, so now Cheng Shuai can't take care of Yuquan County, but these ten officers will help Chen Du train soldiers and command the defense of the city.

Now basically the entire army of the county has been handed over to the officer of the eastern border army. It is also the arrival of these officers that makes those young men and soldiers in Yuquan County look the same day every day. Every time he heard the deafening sound of military training coming from the school field in the city on the city wall, Chen Du was even more relieved.

"Hello Gunjo-sama!" Seeing Chen Du walking up to the city, Pang Jun came over and bowed to Chen Du: "The construction of the city wall has been basically completed, I dare not say that it is solid, but if the Qi army really comes to attack, I am sure that they will pay a painful price." ”

Pang Jun is the military general sent by Cheng Wuben to Yuquan to assist Chen Du in guarding Yuquan. For this county guard, Pang Jun is still very respectful, after all, the Qi army pressed the border, this county guard not only did not escape, but also gathered the county soldiers, pulled up more than 10,000 young people, now these young men have been trained for more than a month, at least they are much stronger than at the beginning, it is impossible to pull out the field, but to defend the city, can barely be used.

"Okay, the affairs of the army will be handed over to General Pang, I don't understand military affairs, so I can only solve the worries of General Pang and cheer for you." Chen Du smiled. This Pang Jun is just an ordinary general under Cheng Wuben, in Chen Du's opinion, he is already much stronger than the commander of the county soldiers under his command, not to mention anything else, just where to stop, the momentum that emanates from the inside out on his body is not comparable to the commander of the county soldiers.

By the way, it was a murderous aura, and it was only found in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

"Commander Jiang didn't make trouble for you, did he?" Chen Du smiled and asked, "If he dares to mess with you, you tell me, and I will clean him up." "Commander Jiang is the commander of the county soldiers in Yuquan, and in terms of rank, he is much higher than the previous Pang army.

"Fortunately, Commander Jiang is very supportive of the work of the last general." Pang Jun's expression was impassive.

"That's good, that's good." Chen Du said with a smile: "General Pang, you said that this Qi army has not fought for so long, will they not come?" ”

Pang Jun looked at the distant horizon and said: "This, the last general doesn't know, and the scouts sent out have not found their traces, but now although the Qi people have occupied Kunling Pass and the six eastern counties, they also have a lot of troubles, their battle line is too long, and the logistics supply is not so simple to get together, besides, now General An Da is very strong in the territory of Qi, and the main force of the Qi people is high to encircle and suppress General An. There are people who can't take care of us here for a while. ”

"General An is really brave!" Chen Du praised from the bottom of his heart, "If we still have 200,000 eastern border troops now, under the command of Cheng Shuai, we will attack General An on both sides, why worry about the undefeated Qi people?" ”

Pang Jun smiled bitterly, if only time could be reversed, now, the 200,000 eastern border troops are finished, and the 30,000 people brought back by Cheng Shuai are only the only ones left. General Anda, who uses himself as bait, seems to be powerful, but it is a blazing fire, and it can't last long. This point, as long as anyone who knows a little about military affairs can understand it, with the main force of the Qi army turning, General An Da will not last long.

"As long as the Qi people don't come to attack immediately, we have Cheng Shuai on our side to preside over everything, and when the Qi people come back after relieving themselves, we will find that they can't talk anymore!" Chen Du said happily. He has unconditional trust in Cheng Wuben.

Before the words fell, there was a muffled thunder in his ears, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky strangely, blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, why did it thunder?

Pang Jun's face beside him changed. Of course, he knew that it was not thunder, it was the sound of a large number of cavalry approaching, and the scouts sent out did not have the slightest news to come, so it was naturally over.

"Ring the bell, blow the trumpet, all the arms are fighting, the enemy is coming!" Pang Jun opened his throat and shouted.

Chen Du on the side, his face turned pale.
