Changping County Lord 64

Chapter 1116 Changping County Lord 64
The next batch started to fetch water with buckets. After the buckets of well water came up, they poured them on the city wall.When it is snowing heavily, dripping water turns into ice, and when water is poured on it, it freezes in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry up and work!" The mutton noodle soup in the stomach of the military officer in charge also revived his spirit, put his hands in the clothes that are not too thick, and shouted: "After finishing the work, it is said that there are still quilts , charcoal fire and wine, as long as you don't call over at night, you can sleep comfortably!"

Pigeons kept flying out of the city, and there were messages in the bamboo tubes tied to their feet.Originally, the characters written in the Han calendar were very short and condensed, and this information is even more so.

"Zhang Yi abandoned the city, Changping killed him, and his corpse was left on the city."

"Changping provides military supplies, and the soldiers and civilians swear to defend the city."...

The county lord's mansion is in the city, and the north and south gates are surrounded by the Huns, so Xining decided to live in the county lord's mansion. Chang Zhou Changxue and a general guarded together.

The county lord's mansion was extremely busy, and Xining kept on approving the bamboo slips with supplies.Cotton clothes and trousers, cloaks and quilts, charcoal fire spirits, food and medicine, bamboo felts... To maintain an army of more than 4000 people requires a lot of supplies.The large amount of goods stored is finally time to use.

"Report~" The messenger ran in from the door to salute: "Report to the county lord, the Xiongnu sent someone to deliver a message."

The north and south cities needed to be ventilated, and Xun Liao left two messengers for the county lord's mansion, so that they could be sent immediately when something happened.

"Broadcast!" Xining was still busy.

After a while, he raised his head when he heard a voice.

"Meet the Princess of Changping County!" The envoy who came this time did not dare to make mistakes, and respectfully put his hands on his chest and performed the Hun salute.The original guy said that he had a wound on his mouth and couldn't speak well, so he couldn't go.As a result, the job fell on his head.Resentment!

Seeing the county magistrate looking at him without saying a word, the envoy quickly handed over the bamboo slips with both hands: "This is the reply letter from the fourth prince."

Jing'er stepped forward, took the bamboo slips, and respectfully passed them on.

Xining took a look and smiled: "Hungry, cold, helpless."

This word is less than hers, and it is shameless.You are hungry and cold, and instead of trying to figure it out yourself, you act like a robber coming to attack the city.

Xi Ning picked up the bamboo slips, and when the front was full, he wrote on the back.After thinking about it, I started writing...

After the envoy left, a new military situation came.

This time the Xiongnu soldiers were divided into three groups, [-] soldiers from Yanmen, [-] from Ningwu, and [-] from Linguan.And the other tribes of the Xiongnu, who have gathered an army of [-], are coming.

It is estimated that there will be about [-] soldiers and horses heading to Linyi County, and they will arrive in about [-] days.

The government servants in Linyi County, the soldiers guarding the city gate, plus the current 500 remnant soldiers, if they are fully charged, there are only 5000 people.Five thousand versus sixty-five thousand people, the disparity in strength is too great.

Xining looked at the big map in front of him, and after a long time, he said leisurely, "Give me two of those pigeons you raised, and I want to send a letter to Your Majesty!"

There was silence inside and outside the house at first, and after a while, someone spoke up: "The county magistrate, please speak."

Whether it's people in the open or in the dark, they all understand it in their hearts.The county owner has never tracked down and asked who they are, and the pigeon loft has never checked.It's not that I don't know, and it's not that I can't manage it.If the pigeon loft is really destroyed, they can only think of a way, how can it be so smooth and carefree now.

In the court of the capital, the ministers asked to send troops for reinforcements.

Some people suggested that the troops be divided into three groups, but more people proposed to concentrate their forces on Yanmen and Ningwu.

Because after Linyi County passed, there were still more than a dozen large and small cities to reach the capital.And once Yanmen and Wuning fall, it means that the gate will be opened, and there will be a flat river behind.

Some opponents immediately retorted, the defenders plus the people, there are only six to seven thousand people, how can they stop sixty to seventy thousand Hun soldiers?

What's more, the Changping County Lord is there. If the city falls, the Changping County Lord will lose the state if he is captured.If he died for the country, how would the king face the King of Qinling and his ancestors after his death?

When the quarrel was almost over, the King of Han finally spoke: "There is a letter from Linyi County here, please read it."

The court immediately fell silent, the waiter opened the bamboo slips and read out: "Princess Changping County personally said: Don't worry, Your Majesty, Linyi County will stick to March."

This time, the Huns are most likely to grab something to go home for the winter. After three months, spring returns to the earth, the snow melts, the grass grows, the cattle and sheep begin to breed, and they even cut their wool.Back to grazing!

Liu Biao immediately went out and knelt down, crying: "The Lord of Changning County is really benevolent and righteous. The veteran can't share his worries for the king. In comparison, he is ashamed. Please send troops to reinforce Yanmen and Wuning. If the Lord of Changning is in trouble , the old minister is willing to go there in person, put on sackcloth and filial piety, and hold the coffin to take him back."

"Seniors, ministers!" The ministers knelt down one after another.

The King of Han said in a majestic voice: "There are many snowstorms in Han, and the army is insufficient. The Lord of Changning County understands the truth, and he is willing to use his own power to turn the tide and defend the city. Now the Lord of Changping County has full authority to deal with the deployment of the original Linguan. Garrison, and rewards will be added later."

Then he ordered to appoint the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the left vanguard and the right vanguard.Divide the 20 troops that can be mobilized into two groups, and head to Yanmen and Ningwu on the same day to conquer the Xiongnu invaders.

After hearing the news, Xining sighed deeply.It seems that Linyi will not be reinforced. If she wants to reinforce, she will send troops no matter what she says.Since we don't send troops, we might as well bite the bullet.If you really can't keep it, you may be able to confer a bigger title such as Princess Protector after death, and it will be recorded in Han history, which can be regarded as adding luster to the body owner.

On the other side of the big tent of the Huns, Uveda looked at the bamboo slips.

This word should be written by her herself, which is different from the previous one.The previous words were written in a vain manner, and it was obvious that his heart was unstable.

The current handwriting, although graceful, is decisive, like her character.

It reads: "Frozen cattle and sheep can be eaten, why are they hungry? Give [-] bamboos, [-] sheets of felt, and build a greenhouse. One hundred catties of carbon, use charcoal for heating, and ventilate. If you want more, freeze the beef and mutton. Change."

The envoy swallowed, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to do this: "The long bamboo, felt, and charcoal fire have all been delivered, and people outside are urging us to return the ox cart."

Ubeda thought for a while: "Go out and say, let's borrow the car first. It will be returned when the time comes! Be polite."

After all, you are giving them something, so of course you have to be more polite.Some people in the tent went out to dismiss the ox cart drivers.

The staff saw Uvida sitting there silent, even when he was eating for a while, he was silent, as if he was preoccupied.So he tentatively asked, "Does Your Highness plan to fight or not?"

Uveda cut off a piece of meat with a knife, put the tip of the knife into his mouth, chewed, and replied after a long while: "Wait for the news from Dahan."

It's not up to him whether to fight or not, let's talk about it first.

Then he said: "Send the things, build a shed immediately, and drive the surviving animals in. Someone must watch when the charcoal fire is lit. Select the stronger cattle and sheep that freeze to death, and bring them back as a gift."

The weather is so cold that even adult cattle and sheep are frozen to death, at this time nearly half of the cattle and sheep should freeze to death.

"Yes!" The staff went out to make arrangements.
