Views:

Haifeng County, Xunzhou, whose real name is Longchuan County. In the first year of Tianbao, it was changed to Haifeng County. In the first year of Qianyuan, Xunzhou was restored. {Including most areas of Huizhou, Heyuan, Shanwei and Meizhou in later generations. }

Xiazhou has seven counties including Guishan, Heyuan, Boluo, Xingning, Haifeng, Luoyang and Changle. There are nine thousand five hundred and twenty-five households, and more than sixty-eight thousand six hundred. Earth tribute: linen cloth, five-color rattan plate, mirror box, anaconda gall, Jiajian, shark leather, Tsuentai, cogtail, etc.

. . . . . .

And under the blackened and mutilated Xunzhou city wall, the siege camp became a little sparse.

Wang Pan, with a serious face and like a trapped beast, was pulling the copper-headed riding whip, walking around on the narrow and towering observatory.

However, his mind is no longer in front of him, the ongoing climbing ant attaches and falls like a rain tragically attacked, but drifted to a certain distance. Even if it was the jumping team that once again stood on the head of the city, the sky-shaking whistling and drums caused by it did not take him long to turn his mind back.

"Where did it go..."

He turned to the left and right and asked again.

"Send someone to investigate..."

"Jiantou, the horse teams that are now usable under the city have been sent out."

The school Wei Sun Liuma whispered to persuade him by his nickname "Ma Liu".

"The remaining brothers are also exhausted..."

"Then send more pawns and take turns to explore..."

Then, he realized that he was a little gaffe, and he called back to the small school he had left and changed his words.

"Forget it, just wait a minute."

"Let the brethren have a good rest... The external police sentry still cannot relax."

However, his choices about gains and losses are different, falling among the newly gathered and promoted bosses, but each has a complicated mood and experience.

After all, what kind of a strange person could this Weifu, who is a murderous general, and the “monk” of the rear battalion who have been concerned about him, be such a strange person; you must know that this person is said to have joined the rebel For a long time, he has been in this Stormrage Camp, and his influence and reputation have been spread by word of mouth.

Fortunately, his or their suffering did not last long, and finally waited for a group of people to appear on the road in the distance. At the beginning were only a dozen pawns wearing brown shirts and carrying spears, and then dozens of pawns wearing short half-length armor and backed crossbow licensed pawns, they were surrounded by a double-pull canopy carriage. come;

Finally, from the parked car, a half-aged boy in a leather vest walked down and quickly put down the feet and raised the curtain; only then came out of the young man without a helmet and hat, with a straight and short head. Dressed with short hair and a weird tight-fitting robe, the tall and strong figure stood among these brace-headed knights, as if standing out from the crowd.

Then, the soldiers who knew each other in the local camp were already very warm and kind. He was led to the observation deck made of this pile of soil, with slight excitement and eagerness on his face, Wang Pan, who couldn't wait to greet him and warm his arms.

"Monk, you finally came back..."

"It's good to be able to withdraw wholeheartedly..."

"Other labor, it doesn't matter at all..."

Then, he deliberately turned to him.

"By the way, monk, have you eaten..."

"I have meat dishes on the camp stove..."

"There are lamb hooves and knuckles cooked in sauce first..."

"Why don't you be afraid to eat and drink first, and then slowly explain."

"This is not right, I am one step ahead and rushed over to explain some things."

Zhou Huaian smiled and thanked me

"Most people are still lagging behind."

"Most of the staff, is there anyone who hasn't arrived..."

Wang Pan was obviously a bit unbelieving, and couldn't help thinking that as long as you could come back, even if only the people around him were left behind, he would be considered earning; and then his next words would be stuck in his mouth and could not be said anymore.

Because whether you look from the observatory or from the top of the city, you can see a brigade of men and horses with flags like forests slowly humming in the distance as the smoke and dust rises. The open and then come.

"Goodbye..."

A school lieutenant nearby couldn't help grinning

"Is this the reinforcement from Guangzhou..."

"No..."

At this moment, Zhou Huaian wrote lightly with a sense of accomplishment

"It's just the hands I gathered all the way in the back."

Of course, in order to achieve this effect that he had a sudden brainstorm before arriving, Zhou Huaian still deliberately stopped and used a little thought for a whole team; and let the guards with the best morale and equipment and the most glamorous look go. In the forefront, while the direct team and the cavalry are pretending to be rolling on the two wings, all the carriages and horses are running side by side in the rear; and finally this kind of bluffing appearance is created.

However, the effect was quite good. At least the rebel arrays gathered under the city suddenly burst into bursts of cheers and shouts; while the defenders above the city were struggling to resist. Zi lost his voice in horror, and there was a very obvious decline and depression.

As a result, before breaking through to the city, the first section of the city wall with a width of several feet was firmly established by the sluggish jumper, and began to wave the green flag desperately, calling for more support and relay.

"Finally, I was fortunate enough to be entrusted..."

Zhou Huaian, who had come back to his senses again, continued to speak slowly to Wang Pan, who was slightly stunned, and the leaders with various expressions on the side.

"Three hundred carts of army food and grass, one thousand and two hundred pack animals."

"There are more than a thousand soldiers and materials left,"

"There are still two thousand five hundred servicemen...should be enough to support the immediate needs of the head for the time being."

"Enough... Enough... Far enough..."

Only then did Wang Pan come back to his senses, but his heart was really surprised.

"You...you...this, but what has happened?"

"This is a big surprise to me..."

After all, these things themselves are not really shocking to his vision;

But what surprised him and amazed him was how the monk’s management team used a rear team with only that little manpower to repel the thieves in a short period of time, and how he played tricks from the poor and the poor. Raise these things and manpower.

"The situation in this case is really hard to describe in one word..."

Zhou Huaian was an understatement.

"It needs to be said slowly..."

"But I am anxious and confused"

Jiangtou Wang Pan suddenly realized that he slapped his forehead and yelled eagerly to his side.

"Hurry up and let the room present the table..."

"By the way, bring the remaining Songliaochun and Baisha Yeongzi too."

"Ma Liu {Sun Liuma} You go ask people to kill pigs and sheep, steam rice and make cakes; entertain the new brothers from the rear team."

"Looking back, I want to talk to the monk brother..."

"It's really hard for you, the guards are a bit difficult these days..."

"It's not bad, I can barely deal with the past."

Zhou Huaian continued his modesty.

"However, please put your head first in the current war..."

"Maybe I can still do some meager efforts..."

After another period of time, when the brigade full of various materials and horses and carriages continued to drive into the camp of the besieged city under the guidance, the Xunzhou city gate facing this direction was also in some kind of huge return. Amidst the noise of the drums, it slowly opened from the inside out, revealing many bloody figures in the smoke and dust.

A Jiu Ke did not fall and attacked the city of Xunzhou for more than half a month.

Local chronicles: At the end of the sixth year of Emperor Qianfu of the Tang Dynasty in September, the thief walked through the state, but Mi was unable to leave for a long time. . When the new thieves arrived, the horses stepped to cover, the scholars and the people were depressed, and they fell. (End of this chapter)
