Chapter 431: Stubborn Defense

"My lord, the assassin has escaped!"

Tian Kai instructed the soldiers to chase around, and at the same time ran to Chu He, clasped his hands and said. ww.vm）

Chu He nodded slightly, but he didn't expect that there was still an assassin hidden in this room, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Block the whole city and arrest the assassin!" Bong Hyo, write a notice, inform the whole city! ”

"No!"

Guo Jia said while holding Chu He.

Standing up, Chu He felt a sour and spicy pain in his back, and Fang Cai's attack on Liliang was not very big, so it didn't hurt his body, but it just made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at the twenty or so panicked people, Chu He said coldly: "I hope you don't publicize the serious injury of this king, otherwise you will know the end!" Go for it! ”

Chu He looked at the people in front of him, and deliberately asked the soldiers to remove half of their clothes and wrap them on their backs.

When the people heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed and withdrew, as if they had received amnesty, and walked outside.

"Go find a single frame and carry this king out!"

Chu He looked at the soldiers who surrounded him, but said softly.

……

At this moment, in the black nest granary.

Xia Houlan was sitting in the room, looking at the books of accounts in her hand, but her heart was irritated for no reason.

"Wu Dayong, can the grain from Yanjin and Pingqiu be requisitioned?"

Putting down the bamboo scroll in his hand, Xia Houlan asked a soldier in battle armor standing in front of the door.

The soldier hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down with his hands folded, and said, "General, someone has been sent!" I guess I'll be back in two days! ”

"Hmmm! Passed on my military order, all the grain and grass received in the granary in the village were loaded onto the ship and sent to Yangping Port, so that the soldiers there could be transferred to Changshan! ”

Xiahou Lan looked at Wu Dayong and said.

Wu Dayong couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "General, in the past, we waited for the grain and grass in each city to be collected before sending it back, this time, how can you ......?"

"Hey! I don't know why, I always feel weird! As if something is going to happen, this grain and grass will take some time, just to fill two big ships, you can arrange this matter! Xia Houlan said softly, but she couldn't sit still anymore, so she was about to walk outside.

Wu Dayong has been following Xiahoulan for some time, Xiahoulan is calm on weekdays, but he doesn't know why he is so frizzy today, but Cao Cao has sent troops to the party these days, which has disturbed the general's heart, so he said with a smile: "Is the general worried that Cao Cao will attack our side?" Don't worry! We don't have much grain and grass in this place, so we will send it to Changshan when we collect it, and besides, we are a small place here, and they won't care! ”

"I hope so!"

Xia Houlan's heart moved, but she looked up at the sky and said softly.

Wu Dayong followed out, went straight to the side of the granary, and found soldiers to arrange a big boat to carry grain and grass onto the ship.

Time passed little by little, and Xiahoulan still couldn't wait for the team to go to Yanjin and Pingqiu to collect grain, but she sent two fast horses to find out.

Because these two places are the closest to Wuchao, Xiahou Lan always collects in one place, and today is the time limit for Zuihou, and the soldiers who can collect grain still haven't come back, so he can't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"General, all the grain and grass have been sent to the ship! Are we waiting? Wu Dayong looked at Xiahou Lan and said.

Xia Houlan shook his head and said, "Transport!" Ship it away! Tell the brothers, eat meat at night! ”

“haha！ Thank you, General! ”

Wu Dayong smiled, hurriedly clasped his hands, and walked quickly towards the back.

Since Xiahoulan and they seized the Wuchao, they have remodeled this place, and the entire Wuchao granary has now built a two-meter earthen wall, surrounding the entire granary, and swallowing the port into the earthen village.

Squeak!

The huge water gate was slowly opened, and the ships carrying grain slowly made their way out of the port.

Xia Houlan's mood was a little better, he rubbed his brows and looked at the sky, but saw that the sun had already set in the west, and there was still half an hour, and the sky was about to get completely dark.

"Report!"

Not long after, after it got dark, a horse flew from outside, this cavalryman was covered with blood, and there were more than a dozen arrows stuck in his back, and he came straight to Xia Houlan, but he shouted hoarsely.

"General, the Cao thief has crossed the river, occupied the white horse, conquered Pingqiu and Yanjin, and is rushing towards us with a large army!" After the soldier finished speaking, his eyes were closed and he swallowed his breath completely.

At this point, Xia Houlan couldn't help but be shocked.

Wu Dayong next to him hurriedly said: "General, let's withdraw!" There are only 5,000 regular soldiers here, which is no match for Cao Cao's army! ”

"Fart! Wuchao is very important here, choke the main road of the Yellow River, do not let Cao Cao occupy it, pass on my military order, all soldiers, all armor, follow me to guard here! Xiahou Lan grabbed Wu Dayong and shouted angrily.

Wu Dayong realized that he had said the wrong thing, his eyes were bright, and he hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "I am willing to live and die with the general!" ”

With that, Wu Dayong flew up to greet the soldiers around him and walked in the direction of the alarm bell in front of him.

Xiahou Lan walked into the room quickly, wrote a letter quickly, took it out, looked around, found two soldiers, gave them this important task, and said in a low voice: "This letter is about life, and you will definitely send it to Wei County and Chaoge!" Please wait for me to tell the generals of the two cities, let them hold the line no matter what, even if I, Xiahou Lan, die, I will buy time for them!" ”

After that, Xiahou Lan prepared a small boat, sent two more people, and left the Wuchao village with them.

After a while, the lights in the earthen village were bright, but all kinds of defensive equipment were advanced and carried to the city, and the soldiers placed the combat equipment in the designated position in an orderly manner under the arrangement of their respective commanders.

This has a great relationship with Xiahou Lan's usual soldiers, he has always ruled the army with the rule of law, and treats soldiers like parents and children, almost the entire soldiers of Wuchao are proud to follow Xiahou Lan.

And Xia Houlan also conducts a big performance every month, and every day there are camps to practice in batches.

Even in the most urgent season of grain harvesting, he never relaxed.

Therefore, within a short period of time in the black nest, the soldiers under his rule have the best reputation in this area, and they are also the most disciplined army.

Five thousand soldiers, according to the formation that Xiahoulan practiced on weekdays, stuck to their own port.

Xiahoulan, accompanied by Wu Dayong, came directly to the gate of the earthen village, in front of which was pitch black, but there was a fishy wind blowing in the night wind.

"General, the enemy is coming!"

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, Wu Dayong looked nervously ahead, and said to Xia Houlan.
