After seeing Ren Jiang and Qin Wei come back, the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect at the entrance suddenly shouted: "The Acting Sect Master is mighty!"

In the rivers and lakes that are still here, people can't help but look at each other.

Renjiang's strength made them feel a little shaken in their hearts, and the deafening shouts of the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect made them even more afraid in their hearts.

After a while, some people in the rivers and lakes secretly retreated.

At least for this time, they didn't dare to stay here.

Without the masters of the Hinayana Temple, if the people of the Floating Cloud Sect started killing again, they would not be opponents.

Still, quite a few remained.

Ren Jiang just told the disciples below to keep an eye on these people, as long as they were in peace around them, they didn't have to pay too much attention.

When he returned to the mountain, Renjiang sent a letter to Renyue, explaining the situation here.

When Lin Xiqi was waiting for Shande to wake up, he suddenly got a report from Wang Dong in a hurry.

"What?" Lin Xiqi hurriedly gathered everyone, and after hearing Wang Dong's words, his face changed.

"The whole army was wiped out?" Renyue was also stunned, "Thirty thousand people are gone, and all of them died overnight?" That's Yumen Pass, although Yumen Pass has been in disrepair for a long time, but it can't be broken overnight, right?"

"Spies?" Lin Xiqi muttered.

"It is indeed a spy, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the army of the Later Yuan Dynasty drove straight in, with an army of 200,000. Wang Dong said, "Without the loss of Yumen Pass, 30,000 people can't resist at all." ”

Lin Xiqi was silent, these 30,000 people were the garrison army of Dunhuang County, specially used to guard against Hou Yuan.

If there are some inland counties, I am afraid that there are not so many troops stationed in the county, after all, this is a border place, at least the number of people has to be made up, as for how much combat effectiveness, it is difficult to say.

These officers and soldiers are all in arrears of food and wages, and the officers and soldiers who have fled every day have them.

In order to ensure the number of people, many people in Liangzhou were forcibly arrested and sent to the army.

Now these 30,000 troops have been wiped out, and the army in Dunhuang County has almost been swept away.

All that remains is some local garrisons in the counties.

Generally speaking, a county is also a hundred households, and everyone knows what the situation is.

Just like the previous Sandao County, there were only a dozen people in the 100 households, and the other counties were almost the same.

If you want to rely on the local garrison, there is no chance at all.

"Spies, damned spies. Renyue said angrily, "This matter is definitely not so simple, there must be people in Dunhuang County who collaborate with the enemy, otherwise they would not have been able to attack Yumen Pass so easily." This person must be found and his body must be broken into pieces. ”

"Now is not the time to say that. Lin Xiqi looked at Renyue and said, "At present, Dunhuang County has no strength to resist, and the 200,000 army is almost the same as what you expected at that time, at least 200,000, who knows if there will be a follow-up." ”

Renyue said so at that time, but he said at the time that there might be 200,000 impacts on Liangzhou, which was also some of his exaggerations, and he still didn't believe it in his heart.

Unexpectedly, his words came true.

He would rather he hadn't said such a thing himself.

"My lord, it can be seen that Hou Yuan attaches great importance to this 'Treasure of the Former Dynasty'. Chen Changjie said, "The defenders of Dunhuang County are gone, and it is impossible to rely on reinforcements from other counties, and the only possibility is to rely on the people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Want reinforcements from other counties?

This is basically unlikely.

The army of 200,000 is mighty, and the other counties also need to protect themselves, how many men and horses can be drawn?

"Now I can only hope that the Hou Yuan army will focus on fighting for the 'treasures of the previous dynasty', so that even if those people in the rivers and lakes want to stand by and watch, I am afraid they will not be able to help them, unless they don't want to compete for the 'treasures of the previous dynasty'. With the resistance of these people in the rivers and lakes, maybe the situation will be slightly better, otherwise the people of Dunhuang County may be in great trouble. Lin Xiqi said.

An army of 200,000 broke into the land of a state, which has not happened for decades.

In the past, it was often only during the time of the big war.

Otherwise, the troops dispatched by the Later Yuan are generally scattered and invaded, and the number of people in each unit is not too large.

Now that Dunhuang County had become the first target of the Later Yuan army's raid, it was clear that it would suffer the most severe impact.

"By the way, Hao Feng Hao Hao has any news?" Lin Xiqi asked again.

"After the fall of Yumen Pass, the Houyuan army washed Longle County in blood for the first time, and now Longle County is in chaos, and Lord Hao does not know whether he is alive or dead. Wang Dong said.

Yumen Pass belongs to Longle County, and Hao Feng is the magistrate of Longle County.

Among these magistrates, Lin Xiqi also has some admiration for Hao Feng around him, after all, he is sincere in doing things for the people and being honest and honest for officials, such a good official is rare in the world.

"Find, you must find it, you must see the corpse when you die, and you must see the person when you live. Lin Xiqi said.

"Yes. Wang Dong responded.

"Lord Hong, the defense of Sandao County will be handed over to you. Lin Xiqi looked at Hong Shangrong and said.

"Yes, rest assured, my lordship, I will fight to the last soldier. Hong Shangrong got up and said.

"This officer doesn't need you to fight to the last soldier. Lin Xiqi stared at Hong Shangrong and said in a deep voice, "This official wants you all to survive." ”

"Humble duty understood. Hong Shangrong said.

It is unlikely that they will all survive, and Lin Xiqi still hopes that they can survive as much as possible.

After all, these are also their own forces.

"Master Chen, the evacuation and evacuation of the people in Sandao County depends on you, and you are also responsible for the supply of various logistical grains and grass. Lin Xiqi said to Chen Changjie.

"My lord, the evacuation of the people has already begun, and it has been completed now. Chen Changjie said, "This mobilization is the fastest action of the subordinates in Sandao County for so long, and presumably the casualties of the people will be minimized, which is all the credit of the adults." ”

Chen Changjie said with emotion in his heart, he is a local here, and he has seen a lot of things about the invasion of the Later Yuan.

Every time the people are suffering heavy casualties, most of the magistrates are just pretending, even if there are a few magistrates who really want to evacuate the people, but the news they get is not timely, and there is no time for them to notify the surrounding people, especially in some remote places.

This time, because of Lin Xiqi, the news of Houyuan's invasion was obtained very early, and with Lin Xiqi delegating power to him, he was able to use his strength to achieve these things that he could not do before.

To be able to do something for his father and fellow villagers, of course he is willing, and he is also sincerely grateful to Lin Xiqi.

"The grain and grass are also ready, and the big families in the county have contributed money and grain to people, and they are very enthusiastic. Chen Changjie said again.

"They know each other. Renyue chuckled.

The Wang family was wiped out in the hands of Lin Xiqi, and except for some of the remaining big families who moved away because they were afraid that Lin Xiqi would attack them, how could the rest dare to have any other thoughts.

can only cooperate with Lin Xiqi wholeheartedly.

In this regard, Lin Xiqi did not rush to kill them all, as long as they can keep to themselves, they are also the people under their rule.
