Chapter 132: The Wind Rises
Shang Ji came to Wangquan County alone and discussed with Liu Yi behind closed doors.
No one knew the specific contents of their business, and two hours later, the merchant hurried back to Heishuisai.
After Shang Ji left, Liu Yi immediately launched an emergency military mobilization, and all the soldiers in the entire Wangquan County were mobilized to guard against Xianbei's invasion. At the same time, he sent someone Pegasus to submit the document jointly signed by Shang Ji and Liu Yi to the Liaodong County Guard.
By the time Shang Ji returned to Heishuisai, the news of Xianbei's large-scale invasion had already spread.
The people in the counties were panicked, and rumors spread everywhere. There are different opinions on the specific number of entrants, some say 100,000, some say 500,000, and even millions.
But in any case, all localities are sure that there is indeed a Xianbei army gathering to invade Liaodong.
Liu Yi's documents were quickly sent to the Liaodong County Shoufu, and Taishou was also shocked when he received the documents.
Shang Ji and the others were very cunning and did not say the specific number of recruits, but only said that the Xianbei envoy from Longcheng gathered troops in the entire eastern Xianbei area, and all the tribes sent people to participate. The army has already assembled at the Jiegu Division, which is closest to Liaodong County, and will invade in three days.
The Xianbei envoy in the document is true, and it is also true that all the departments in the eastern Xianbei are mobilizing and assembling troops, and it is still true that they will enter the Kou in a big way within three days! All in all, there was not a trace of falsehood in the documents presented by Shang Ji, but the development of things had gone in the direction that Shang Ji was expecting.
Taishou didn't know the inside story, and after seeing the envoy of Xianbei Dragon City summoning the armies of various tribes in the eastern Xianbei to assemble and attack, his mind was stunned!
This appointment is too nameless, just a middle-aged person. In his understanding, the Xianbei envoy can recruit the armies of various tribes throughout the entire eastern Xianbei, and at least millions of troops can be gathered!
Millions of Xianbei troops attacked Liaodong County in three days, and the entire Liaodong County couldn't resist it for long!
All the large and small counties within Liaodong County add up to more than one million troops. Many of them were still the same as the Wangquan County army before Liu Yi's rectification, and they were defeated when they saw the enemy. The army in Xiangping City is better, with 500,000 troops, which can barely be called well-trained, but this definitely can't stop millions of Xianbei troops from attacking!
"Quick, ask for support from Captain Hu Wuhuan, send a message to the county guards of nearby counties to raise alert, send a message to Youzhou Assassin Shi to assist in support, and ask the imperial court to immediately send a large army to the Imperial Court!"
After all, the county guard Wang Tong is a veteran of officialdom for a long time, although he was a little panicked at first, he quickly reacted and immediately gave several orders in a row!
"Also, where did the county lieutenant go? When such a big thing happened, why didn't the county lieutenant come to see me? Wang Tong looked around and found that there was no lieutenant of Liaodong County in the hall, and immediately roared angrily.
The county lieutenant is the highest military governor in a county, and theoretically the county lieutenant is responsible for military matters, but now that such an urgent matter has happened, but the county lieutenant is not present, how can this not make Wang Tong angry.
"Too, too guard, the county lieutenant is not in the army, and he went out to inspect military affairs!" A county lieutenant was born as an officer, and said Ai Ai.
"Inspecting military affairs?" Wang Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, his face turned blue and white with anger, and he pointed to several county lieutenants and shouted violently: "Send someone to find the county lieutenant back immediately, I can't see the county lieutenant within an hour, and the official will go to the court to dismiss him!" ”
Liaodong County Lieutenant's surname is Tian, and his name is Yue. Just look at the name, you can know that he and Tian Teng of Wangquan County are also from the Tian family in Liaodong.
The Liaodong Tian family is the largest gate valve clan in the local area, and there are people from their Tian family up and down the county, and Tian Yue is the highest official in the Tian family's Liaodong County.
Because the Tian family has deep roots in Liaodong County, Wang Tong, as a foreign county guard, is restrained by it everywhere, and he has been angry in the past.
Tian Yue is good at hunting, often does not see anyone for several days, and now he says that he has gone to inspect military affairs, but Wang Tongna still doesn't understand, he is going to hunt again!
"It's too late, it's too forgive!" As soon as Wang's voice fell, he saw a person running in in a hurry, looking at his energetic dress, it was obvious that he had just returned from hunting.
In the past, Tian Yue was not afraid of Wang Tong, but today is different. Such a big thing happened, he was not present as a county lieutenant, if Wang Tong was ruthless, he really played a letter, at least it would be a crime of dereliction of duty.
Seeing that Tian Yue was panting and embarrassed, and he was also unprecedentedly respectful to himself, Wang Tong was secretly refreshed.
However, the current situation was critical, and he didn't have the heart to make it too difficult for Tian Yue, "County Captain, have you received the news?" ”
"Yue has only heard about it, and the specific situation is not yet understood." Tian Yue said with some embarrassment.
Wang Tong glanced at Tian Yue angrily, and handed over the documents submitted by the two Shang Ji to Tian Yue. Tian Yue took the document and looked at it at a glance, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became, but when he finally saw the signatory, he was stunned.
"Liu Yi, Shang Ji?" Involuntarily, Tian Yue read out the names of these two people.
"What? Tian Junwei has also heard of the reputation of the two? Wang Tong asked curiously.
Liu Yi and Shang Ji are still somewhat well-known in Liaodong County, Liu Yi single-handedly hit Zhang Heng and relieved the siege of Wangquan County; Hundreds of Shang Ji's troops broke thousands of Wuhuan rebel horses, exterminated Heifeng Village, and other achievements are also remarkable, Wang Tong is no stranger to the two, and the two of them are relatively outstanding rising stars in Liaodong County.
Of course, Wang Tong didn't know what Shang Ji had done in the recent past, so Shang Ji's evaluation in his heart was only good.
"Hehe, a little bit of a little bit of a hearing, a little of it!" Tian Yue waved his hand again and again, using this to cover up his gaffe.
Of course, he had heard of the names of Shang Ji and Liu Yi, and he must know that Tian Teng, the magistrate of Wangquan County, who was now crushed by Liu Yi, was his brother. Through Tian Teng, Tian Yue knew a lot about the two of them.
"Fortunately, these two discovered Xianbei's plot in time, so let's have a little time to prepare, otherwise the consequences will be serious!" Wang Tong said with emotion, obviously he still has a good impression of Shang Ji and the others.
"County Captain, you are in charge of the military affairs of the whole county, what do you think of the current situation?" Wang Tong turned around and asked Tian Yue.
"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to order the counties to reorganize their armies, strictly defend them, and then ask the imperial court for reinforcements. As soon as my Han Heavenly Soldiers arrive, I don't have to worry about being mere Xianbei. ”
Wang Tong chuckled twice when he heard this, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart, this kind of answer can be said by any farmer in the mountains, it's complete nonsense!
Tian Yue also laughed twice after speaking, he also knew that what he said was pure nonsense, but there was really no better way in the current situation.
"Huh?" Looking at the documents in his hand, Tian Yue suddenly had an idea, turned to Wang Tong and said, "Taishou, then Shang Ji is responsible for guarding the black water plug, right?" Heishui Fortress is a famous fortress in Liaodong, it is better to order the Shang Ji to hold on for three days to buy time for the army, and when the imperial court reinforcements arrive, we should annihilate Kou Xianbei in one fell swoop! ”
"Huh? It's not appropriate, right? Wang Tong heard Tian Yue's suggestion and was a little hesitant. Doing so is equivalent to using Shang Ji as a substitute for the dead ghost, millions of Xianbei troops are heading south, and the 10,000 defenders of the Heishui Fortress District will not be able to hold out for three days no matter what.
