"Ruru is coming fiercely, and Yizhou City has basically no defense. The most important thing is that there are many Ni Jidao, Dai Gulian, Lou Peng, Meng Jiaqian and others in the city, and they may not be of the same mind as us." When Xu Lianshan and others were full of doubts, The accounting-looking man just now said, "If those people don't deal with it, they might stab us in the back!"
He added, "Especially at the gate of Yizhou City, are there any of their people there?"
"As the governor of Yizhou, the prince has the power to control all matters in the state in critical moments." Xu Lianshan clasped his fists and asked for orders without hesitation, "If Ming Ruru is about to commit a crime, and for the sake of the family and the country, he should use his thunderous legs to Intimidate Xiaoxiao to protect the western frontier in the east! Please ask the county king for permission to take people to the residence of the four people immediately to eliminate future troubles!"
"Isn't that appropriate?" Someone objected, "After all, we haven't been in Yizhou for a long time, so the Meng family is doing very well. The three of Ni Ji and Dao are local snakes who have been operating in the local area for many years and have a good reputation. Otherwise, what would happen?" If I kill them, if their gang members make a fuss, won't that mean there will be external troubles?"
Xu Lianshan said solemnly: "Ni Jidao and the other three are really well-known in the local area, and they are just notorious for being corrupt and bending the law! Killing the three of them to uphold the law of the country is not like a prosperous and corrupt Western Xinjiang! As the saying goes, people are divided by groups. Those who serve as their henchmen are probably not good things. If we keep them, God knows what they will do when they are in desperate need? Kill them, and the crowd in Didong will be leaderless, so it’s a good idea to pay the price!"
The person who just made the mistake was from Jishan camp, his name was He Yingqian. Hearing this, he shook his head and said: "No, it's inappropriate. Although the three of Ni Jidao are not good things, and they are all like a nest of snakes and rats under their legs, they still can't." A serious official in the imperial court will kill someone without a meeting of the three divisions. Even if the king of the county decides to be the governor, he still has the power to control the whole state at the critical moment. It is hard to do that by giving others the thumbs up!"
He turned to Rong Suihe, who was at the head, and said carefully, "Prince! If the purpose of the Prince is just to preside over the Western Territory, then there is no harm in acting casually! But if the Prince's ambition is not limited to the Western Territory, A region, but don’t let others talk about it easily, lest they be used by others! Ni Jidao and others are just silverfish in their positions! Their lives are worthless, but the future of the county king is immeasurable. How can they pollute the county because of them? King’s reputation?!”
Le Yangwen nodded gently: "Xuanpu's words make sense!" "
Zi Pu is not the name of He Yingqian.
"... But Ruru is very close. If you want to defend the city, you must be on guard against those kind of silverfish and rats!" Xu Lianshan said in a muffled voice, "Otherwise, Ruru's vanguard would only need 50,000 people, which is fine. Once the main force arrives, , even if we have the Southern Xinjiang Army nearby to support us, there is no guarantee!"
Rong Suihe said "Yes" and said: "Those three people who want to be killed must not die in our legs."
"But who should be blamed?" He Yingqian frowned and said, "Meng Jiaqian? Gao Qieyi? Not to mention that the Meng family is absolutely wrong and refuses to take the blame, but most of the troops led by Meng Jiaqian and Ruming are stationed outside the city. , it is impossible to enter the city without the king's leg order, and with the hundreds of soldiers brought by the Meng family, is it possible to kill Ni Jidao and three people with many servants and many heirs! Let's say that the king is in control of the whole state. , Yizhou City is right in front of the county king, if the Meng family succeeds in killing officials, the court will definitely ask the county king for his inability to govern the east!"
Xu Lianshan remembered the sudden death of Xuan Yuche's family in Nanfeng County a few years ago. Although it was not something that was done by Tortoiseshell Island, as a confidant of Rong Suihe, he had heard about it many times, and he asked at this moment: " Is it okay if they eat the wrong thing themselves?”
"It's not very good." He Yingqian shook his head, "Ni Jidao and the other three have done too much. Before, because they withheld military pay too much, the old Dong Dong who had been with them for more than ten years couldn't bear to rebel! Otherwise, he had been suppressed by them before. Go! From then on, they also had a guilty conscience. They brought a large number of followers and guards with them when going out and going out of the city. They used silverware and rhinoceros cups for food and drink. It is said that they asked their concubines and maids to taste the food before eating... In the first two months, our house There was a running banquet here to celebrate the princess's happiness. Although they were present to congratulate her, no matter the food or drinks, they barely touched their lips and they didn't even touch their lips."
Xu Lianshan frowned when he heard this. Since Ni Jidao and the others were so alert, it was not feasible for them to "accidentally die suddenly" like Xuan Yuche's family.
"Where's Ruru?" Someone else suggested, "How is Ruru doing?" Is it possible to incite Yizhou City to fight against Ruru in the east? "
"No!" However, Le Yangwen categorically objected, "If the situation in Yizhou was very good at that time and it was almost certain that Ruru could be prevented from attacking this time, then it would be up to them to blame it on them. Is the problem obviously the situation is dangerous? If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces! The situation in Western Xinjiang has been too corrupt in those years. People with Ni Jidao's status would have been assassinated at that time, let alone the people of Didong? When the time comes and people are roasted, won't they shoot themselves in the foot? !”
There was silence in the room for a while.
"There is no way to do that, let's not talk about it for now." At that time, Rong Suihe said slowly, "Let's talk about defending the city! As a governor, I have the responsibility to defend the city, so Yizhou is definitely wrong. We can’t give up. We pretty much understand the current situation. We can worry about the baggage for a short period of time, but we lack both elites and defensive equipment. Do we have any good ideas?”
All the confidants looked at him wrongly, and He Yingqian said: "Your Majesty, it takes more than a month to be an elite force. Fortunately, the troops that are about to attack the east of the city are Ru Ru's vanguard, with a strength of 50,000. Since we have occupied the fortified city, we can't do it." With the upper hand. The main problem is whether Ruru will arrive later and the main force will be the real test. "
After looking around, he narrowed his eyes and said, "In view of the humble position, it is better to use those 50,000 soldiers to train soldiers! After all, even if the soldiers are diligent in training, they will not become elite without going through the battlefield. Not to mention the 200,000 soldiers." The army in Xinjiang has been abandoned for a long time. If we don't have the courage to confront fifty thousand Ruru, what can we expect from them when we come to the east?"
"But Ni Jidao and others were harsh in their treatment of the East. The 200,000 soldiers from the Western Xinjiang region had been patient for a long time. Even if the king and the princess had served in the army before, they had been resentful of the imperial court for many years, so they might not be so easily influenced." Xu Lianshan frowned, "If he immediately flees after seeing Ruru, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of Yizhou City in the east!"
He Yingqian said calmly: "The imperial court has raised troops for thousands of months, how can we allow them to retreat? Although the Jishan camp is not large in number, it cannot do the job of sniping Ruru head-on with one man equal to ten, but it is no problem to supervise the team!"
Then we can force the 200,000 Western Xinjiang troops to fight against Ruru.
If Ming gathered there either the Jishan Camp or the Wuyi Camp, the Xijiang Army had no feelings for it. Naturally, no one helped the Xijiang Army to shut up, so Lian Shan still frowned: "But the number of people in the Jishan Camp is too large." Less, of course there will be fewer people in their Wuyi Camp! Once the Western Xinjiang Army resists, then...?"
The Jishan Battalion, which only had thousands of people, and the Wuyi Battalion, whose numbers were negligible in the battle between the two countries, could not stop the mutiny of the Western Xinjiang Army at all.
"That's easy to handle!" However, Rong Suihe wrote lightly, "Have we investigated the assassination of the princess before? When Ni Jidao and others agreed that we would send people into the military camp to conduct a thorough investigation, didn't they also hand over the list of soldiers? When I went to the military camp to deliver the order, I told them that the roster had been handed over to the Northern Xinjiang Army who arrived outside Yizhou City two months ago and brought back to the court. From now on, whether they will be rewarded based on their merits or whether they will be investigated for guilt, no one will be able to think about it. escape!"
He also said, "Before the princess left, she had asked the orphan to sell all the wealth and silk she had brought to Western Xinjiang, including the hairpins, jewelry, clothing, etc. that had not been taken away, and use them for the purpose of giving porridge and medicine." At that time, the Princess of Nao County thought that it would take a long time for changes to occur in Western Xinjiang. If Ming Ruru was so close, it would be too late to realize those things in a hurry. However, the good news is that the Princess of the County was born in a poor family and was deeply lonely. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were very fond of her, and they were well-equipped with everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. She would take out two of the things she had left from the east, so that even a layman would know how valuable they were. In this way, when delivering the message, she would bring out several boxes of silk and satin and gold and jade hairpin rings. , on-site rewards are given to soldiers who are willing to kill the enemy in battle, which must have a morale-boosting effect."
"With such a combination of kindness and power, if the Western Xinjiang Army does not remain unmoved, then it will be completely hopeless. We don't need to think too much about other things, let's consider the retreat first!"
Le Yangwen nodded and said: "According to the understanding of the troops in Dongcuo and Xijiang, it should not be hopeless."
He also said, "The princess understands justice well and is truly a good wife and mother."
"We were really in short supply of city defense equipment at that time." He Yingqian said, "If tomorrow comes, we can put the Western Xinjiang Army in the front, resist Ruru's forwards as much as possible, and hone a group of soldiers who can be used. .Then we organized the craftsmen in the city to work day and night to source local materials.”
"It's cold and freezing in that season. You can splash water on the city wall. After the water condenses into an ice wall, it will slide together and become difficult to climb." Others also offered suggestions. "You can have the craftsmen make molds and freeze them in advance." A batch of sharp ice can be used to throw when Ruru attacks the east of the city, which can reduce the loss of arrows."
"It can very well imitate the shape of rolling stones and hammering wood. There are almost none of those two in the city's warehouses."
"Ni Jidao and the three of them really deserve to die! How dare they be so greedy in a frontier place like Yizhou! The Meng family is actually willing to accept them, which shows how dirty their true colors are. They are simply willing to eat whatever they want!"
"The city of Yizhou is so spacious that even if all the people from villages and towns fifty miles away are moved into the city, they will not be able to live in the east." In this case, why not send people to bring all the people, property, food, livestock, etc. into the city, set fire to the houses, fortify the walls and clear the fields, so that after Ruru enters, they will find nothing, which will prevent them from driving the people of Damu to attack the city! "
"This move really killed three birds with one stone. It not only prevented Ruru from plundering, but also avoided our embarrassment when the people of Damu were attacked by Qiu. It saved the lives of those people... But! Li Shu, fifty miles away, More or less, it is impossible to just send a few people to get it done. After all, the Ruru forwards can arrive in three days. So who is going to do that? How many people will do it? If there are too few people to go, they might not even have time to run through it, let alone help so many people move to the city!"
"There are so many people going, and without our people in the city to supervise them, who knows what will happen?"
"But if I don't do that, it would be troublesome just to be driven to the east of Yizhou City for help, let alone anything else!"
"After all, when Yizhou City was struggling to hold on, the main force was relying on the Xijiang Army, and most of the Xijiang Army were local children. Even if they were not before, they often got married there, with wives and children. Their wives and children , many of them are also living in Yizhou City and nearby areas. When the time comes, I will see Didong’s married wife and elderly parents pleading with their own flesh and blood, then?”
Everyone discussed one thing after another with solemn expressions, and it was not until late at night that they summarized a rough charter. Regardless of the time, it was already late. After Rong Suihe announced that the resolution for tomorrow night was over, the group left the Governor's Mansion, and one after another let's move!
After Xu Lianshan left the mansion, he went around in a circle and ended up at the governor's mansion.
