Chapter 220: Xiangping is besieged

In Xiangping City, Liaodong County Taishou Wang Tong has been promoted again!

However, Wang Tong, who is a fan of standard officials, looked at the appointment edict, but he was not happy at all!

Xianbei entered the Kou in a big way, the officers and soldiers of Yuyang and other counties were powerless to resist, and the Xianbei army was like a broken bamboo, all the way deep into the hinterland of Youzhou, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the Eastern Han court, and seeing that there was news that the cities above the intermediate level had been captured, the bigwigs in the court finally realized the seriousness of the problem and began to discuss countermeasures.

The countermeasures are nothing more than those old routines, ordering all counties in Youzhou to be vigilant and stick to the city, and at the same time ordering the surrounding counties to send troops to retreat.

Since the troops have been dispatched, it is natural to have a suitable commander. And who is the most powerful and closest to each other recently?

Naturally, it was not long ago that the first battle "annihilated millions of enemies" and surrendered the enemy's golden scepter, Liaodong Taishou Wang Tongwang Wenzhong!

After a successful chapter, Wang Tong was crowned as the general of the imperial captivity, responsible for commanding the soldiers of the eastern counties of Youzhou and resisting Xianbei.

At the same time, he was also required to send troops within half a month to support Yuyang, Shanggu and other counties that were in a bitter battle.

Looking at the edict, Wang Tong's mouth was bitter, and tears were about to fall. He's got the ability to lead a leader! If you talk about governing the people, with many years of experience as an official, you can barely make do with it, but he really doesn't know anything about leading the army!

Most of the records that were frantically touted before were made up, and a small part was robbed, which had nothing to do with his own ability!

Is this Xianbei easy to mess with now? Yuyang, Shanggu and other counties are not stronger than Liaodong County? This is still the falling flowers and flowing water that was beaten by the Xianbei people, let him resist Xianbei, isn't this sending him to death?

Wang Tong was thinking about breaking his thigh now, pretending to accidentally fall off the horse and push away this appointment, when suddenly a subordinate officer broke in in a panic!

"Bastard! What a system to panic into! Wang Tong, who was in an unhappy mood, immediately scolded.

"Fujun! Fujun! Oh no, there are a large number of Xianbei troops outside the city! Lai didn't care about Wang Tong's scolding, and shouted anxiously.

"What?" Wang Tong was taken aback, stood up, and asked in a panic, "How many people are here in Xianbei?" ”

"There are too many people, dense and can't see the edge at a glance, I can't see how many!"

Wang Tong's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he almost fainted, but he tried to settle his mind and said, "Go and invite the county lieutenant to come to the mansion to discuss matters!" ”

"Oops! Fujun, how confused are you! Didn't the county lieutenant just transfer away a few days ago? "The subordinate officer is so anxious that he is sweating profusely, if he is still confused at this critical moment, what can he do?

"Smack!" Wang Tong patted his head, held his forehead and said angrily: "It's really not the right time for this grandson to go!" ”

The subordinate officer pretended not to hear Wang Tong's words, and continued: "Fujun, you have to find a way to do this!" ”

"Are the gates closed? Did any Xianbei people rush in? Wang Tong wandered around the room twice and suddenly asked.

"You asked such a nonsense after a long time on horseback?" The subordinate officer scolded wildly in his heart, but he said helplessly on his face: "It's tight, it's tight, all the captains are waiting for the prince to preside over the overall situation!" I also ask the prince to hurry up and appease people's hearts. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, soothing!" The six gods and the masterless Wang Tong said again and again.

As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you sure that the Xianbei people can't rush in?" ”

"Oh, my Fujun, if you don't go, there may be a real problem!" The subordinate officer said urgently.

Wang Tong laughed twice, and finally came to the city wall with his subordinates.

Xiangping City, as the only giant city in Liaodong County, is naturally very grand, the city wall is as high as nearly ten zhang, the Xianbei army does not have suitable siege equipment, as long as the city is not chaotic, it may be captured anyway.

Behind Wang Tong, ten Liaodong County lieutenants bowed down and stood with Wang Tong to observe the enemy's situation.

Raising his eyes, he saw countless war horses galloping, whistling outside Xiangping City, and the murderous aura condensed by the army rushed to his face. Wang Tong, a weak scholar, had never seen such a scene, and was suddenly shocked by two tremblings.

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Tong turned around and asked, "I don't know if the generals can break the enemy?" ”

The ten lieutenants looked at each other in silence.

After a while, an older lieutenant spoke: "Fu Jun, the enemy army is strong, the enemy army in front of you is only the part of the east gate, there are also many enemy troops at the south gate and the north gate, adding up to the Xianbei thief army is probably no less than a million people, now I only have 500,000 soldiers in Xiangping City, it is okay to defend the city, and the field battle is not successful, please think twice!" ”

"Okay, good, no field battle, no field battle, just order the soldiers to defend the city with peace of mind!" Wang Tong, who was stunned, nodded again and again.

Several lieutenants suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they all promised: "Please rest assured, we will ensure that nothing goes wrong in the city!" ”

"Good, good!!"

"Fujun!" The subordinate officer just now pulled Wang Tong and said in a low voice: "Emperor's order!" ”

"What?" Wang Tong was stunned.

"Emperor's order! Disobedience is a big sin that will cost you your head! The subordinate said anxiously.

Now Wang Tong reacted, and he continued to support Yuyang and other places to resist Xianbei's order!

Wang Tong's face suddenly turned ugly, he could tolerate the clamor of the Xianbei army outside the city, and he could also sit back and watch the people outside the city fall into the water, but he did not dare to resist the orders of the imperial court.

The imperial court ordered him to send troops to support Yuyang and other places within half a month, but now he is trapped in Xiangping City and can't move. The court would not understand his plight. This battle is destined to suffer heavy losses in Youzhou, someone must be responsible for such a major mistake, if he can't arrive on time with the army, he will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat!

"Ordered the defenders from all over Liaodong to come to Xiangping to support. Also, issue missions to those Inhumans and ask them to lead their troops to support. At the same time, it was ordered that all aliens with military status in Liaodong County must rush to Xiangping within five days, and those who arrive on time will be promoted to one level, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be dealt with by military law! ”

Wang Tong ordered with a gloomy face, and after speaking, he turned to the captain who had just spoken and said, "Captain Zhou, immediately start recruiting troops with all your might, the number of our soldiers is still too small, not enough to fight against the enemy!" ”

"Fu Jun, the current military budget in the military camp is insufficient, and it is not enough to expand the army on a large scale!" Captain Zhou is embarrassed.

Wang Tong's face darkened when he heard this, and he was angry, but he remembered that a large part of the military expenses in the army had been corrupted by him and the county lieutenant, and he was suddenly choked and speechless. After a long while, I heard Wang Tong grit his teeth and say, "It's okay!" Captain Zhou just needs to recruit non-commissioned soldiers, and I will solve the problem of military expenses! ”

"In this way, the last general is guaranteed to complete the task!" Several captains, including Captain Zhou, suddenly turned happy and said excitedly.

"Pass my order, invite the Tian family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Du family and other family heads to come over, and this mansion will find them to discuss important matters!"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tong said again: "In addition, invite the shopkeeper of Zhen's firm to come!" ”

Although the money was greedy by Wang Tong, this blood must not be his own! There is one in Xiangping City, no one wants to run!
