On the evening of the second day after Lu Ying left, the scouts deployed by the Zhenbei Army outside Beiguan City sent an emergency report through a few specially domesticated falcons, and unknown armed cavalry were quickly attacking Beiguan City!
Although most of the elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Beiguan City were taken outside the pass to participate in the ambush of Caowu, Lu Ying has always been cautious and left 800 soldiers to guard the city. The general will lead.
One of the two participating generals is called Bujie and the other is called Shandaogen. When the two of them got the news, they immediately ordered the city gates of Beiguan to be closed tightly, and the people of Qi State in the city were not allowed to go out without their permission. Merchants from foreign countries and barbarians reported to the government office immediately, and merchants from foreign countries and barbarians immediately reported to the commercial office in the south of the city.
Usually, Lu Ying occasionally conducts similar drills, so most of the people in Beiguan City don't know that the dark clouds of war have quietly covered up. Pack up things in an orderly manner without being busy, and return to their respective homes.
Because everyone is very familiar with this set of "emergency management measures", within an hour, all the personnel have returned to their positions, and only patrolling soldiers are left quietly on the street.
When Bai Fuling heard the sound of the gong, she was having dinner upstairs in Tongyun Building. She knew that Lu Ying was not in Beiguan City at the moment, and according to the past practice, she would never practice during a battle at such a time. Seeing that the righteous brother is not here, it will be bad for Beiguancheng!
Hearing the sound of the gong, Huang Bai hurriedly dismissed the guests below, and came up to ask Bai Fuling if he went to rest in his yard first after Tongyun Building or if he had other plans.
Bai Fuling frowned and looked at the street, and said, "I'm going to the General's Mansion!" She has Lu Ying's token on her body, and she can pass through Beiguan City without hindrance at any time, and even asks to open the city gate to lead the team home, but She rarely uses such privileges, because Lu Ying will notify her in advance every time she rehearses.
Tongyun Building is quite a distance from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the road is so smooth that not even a ghost can be seen. The officers and soldiers patrolling the city saw Miss Bai's carriage from a distance, and they gave way one after another. Bai Fuling is so famous in Beiguan City that everyone knows everyone, only a fool would go up to check and talk.
Seeing that they were about to go to the General's Mansion, they actually met a fool...
"The carriage in front, stop!" Three people walked out quickly from a side street in front of the General's Mansion. The first one was wearing the general uniform of the Zhenbei Army, and it was he who shouted.
The general manager was followed by two ordinary servants from Beiguancheng. With embarrassment and reluctance on their faces, they couldn't help but secretly wink and chatter at the general manager, as if trying to dissuade him from coming forward to make fun of himself.
The general had a stern face, unmoved, stepped forward and said: "Today, the whole city is ordered to be under martial law, and the people are prohibited from going out on the streets without authorization. Do you have the general's warrant?"
Bai Guo glared angrily and shouted: "Who is my lady? Could it be that you don't recognize her? Miss has the general's badge, she can move freely at any time, the whole Beiguan city knows!"
"It's an extraordinary time, please show your token." The general was stern and refused to budge.
Bai Fuling didn't want to get entangled in such a trivial matter, so she opened the window and handed the token to Bai Shisan who was beside the car, after carefully checking the token with the boss, she said, "Is there anyone else in the car besides Miss Bai? Please come out together."
As soon as this was said, everyone in the Bai family showed their fears. The Zhenbei Army and the others often dealt with each other, and they had never seen such a brainless and ruthless person!
Bai Fuling was surprisingly easy to talk to, she directly signaled Bai Shisan to open the car door for her, and said to the driver: "I'm the only one in the car, you can just look at it if you want."
The two guards, who kept ignoring the boss behind him and kept bowing and bowing to everyone in the Bai family to please and laugh with him, went to the door of the car, took a closer look inside the car, and after confirming that Bai Fuling was the only one, they clasped their fists and said emphatically: :"excuse me!"
Bai Fuling smiled slightly: "You are just performing official duties. I don't know the name of this military master Gao?"
Her smile was like the bright spring sun, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, but she quickly recovered and replied, "Galangal."
Just when he announced his name, the two guards behind him had already looked at him with a look of "you're finished"—you dare to offend Miss Bai, you've taken it to the end, don't let it go in your life. Want to go one step further! General Lu is notorious for his love and protection for Miss Bai's family. If you dare to offend her, it would be considered polite not to reward you with a meal of army stick stuffed pork every day.
"Okay, I'll remember." Bai Fuling said incomprehensibly, waving her hand to signal Bai Shisan to close the car door, and continue to go to the General's Mansion.
Ding Xiang secretly said to Bai Guo: "Miss, will you report this galangal to the general?"
Bai Guo said: "Who knows, it depends on Miss's mood."
"Actually, I think this galangal is also loyal to his duty..." Ding Xiang whispered.
Bai Guo pouted and said, "It's rare to stay like him."
When Shi Zhu, the concierge of the General's Mansion, saw that it was Miss Bai, her eyes lit up, she respectfully invited them in, and immediately rushed to find Shi Wei.
At this moment, the front hall of the General’s Mansion was full of officials from the city and several generals left by the Zhenbei Army to guard the city. When they heard that Bai Fuling had arrived, Bu Jie and Shan Daogen came out to greet them first. , Asked why the sudden martial law in the city was caused.
Taking advantage of the fact that the officials in the city were there, Bu and Shan briefly explained the situation, and then comforted them: "The walls and gates of Beiguan City are very strong. It's only time to arrive, and the number of barbarian cavalry is limited. It is impossible to have enough people to besiege the city. Most of them just found out that the general is not in the city and want to try their luck. As long as everyone helps stabilize the city's security and our army strictly guards the city gate, they will retreat soon Besides, the general has just sent a letter to the general, and the general will be able to return to the division within two days at most, and if the bandits don't leave by then, they will be the ones crying!"
The officials in the city saw that the two were full of confidence and looked relaxed, so they let go of their hearts and went back to deal with government affairs. Not light.
After everyone retreated, Bai Fuling asked, "You two adults, who do you think is attacking this time?"
She used to go in and out of Zhenbei General's Mansion frequently, and prepared food, grass, military pay, military uniforms and other supplies for the Zhenbei Army. The Zhenbei Army was very familiar with her, and these senior generals were all very polite to her.
Listening to her asking about the details, he did not hide the details. Shan Daogen touched the beard and pondered: "Most likely they are from Caowu. This happened too coincidentally. The general just received the news that Caowu was going to raid the Dajian Department. , took away most of the elite of the Zhenbei Army, and someone from here came to attack Beiguan City, and I am afraid that it was premeditated to attack the West."
Bu Jie stared and said: "If this is the case, Cao Wu is too whimsical. With his little mob, he wants to come to attack the city. Even if the general is not there, could it be that we guarding the city are all dead?"
Shan Daogen snorted: "Caowu is not an idiot, and it is not the first time he has confronted the general. He knows how powerful the general is. If he dares to do this, there must be some other reason we don't know, maybe he has something hidden. Some tricks haven’t been used yet.”
Bai Fuling reminded with a smile: "No matter what kind of madness he is, the guarding of the city depends on the two of us if the brother-in-law is not here. We don't know what tricks Caowu has. Why don't we think about the circumstances under which Beiguan City might be breached?" ?” It doesn’t matter what kind of wind came to attack the city, what is important is that they must stabilize the situation and prevent the enemy from attacking.
Bu Jie said with a hey voice: "Unless we take the initiative to open the city, they won't be able to come in even if they spend a year or so outside!"
What he said is true. In the past few years, Lu Ying has rebuilt the city wall and gate of Beiguan City. The city wall is as high as three feet. To climb over the wall, you must have tools such as ladders to attack the city. It is rare to carry such troublesome utensils, and it will take a certain amount of time to make them from local materials. In addition, siege is always much more difficult than defense. Even if there are not many Zhenbei troops left in the city, it is enough to deal with them.
What's more, Lu Ying will soon be able to lead the troops back. No matter who is coming to attack the city, in the case that the soldiers in the city have been informed and prepared in advance, futility is almost an inevitable result.
"So, what we have to guard against is the inside of the city. If spies open the city gate from the inside, it will be terrible." What Bai Fuling really wanted to say was this.
Bu Jie laughed and said: "No wonder the general always praises Miss for being smart, it is true, we have ordered the senior generals left in the city to come here immediately, and later we will pick out the person in charge of guarding the city gate and assign tasks go down!"
"With the presence of two adults, the little girl can rest assured." What Bai Fuling was really worried about was not the issue of defending the city. She was still very confident in Lu Ying's ability. Lu Ying is cautious in doing things, and she must be on guard against similar things. She doesn't need to point fingers, and Beiguan City will be safe and sound.
But what about the finishing touches after the enemy has retreated? After several years of peace in Beiguan City, something like this happened suddenly, which would have a blow to the confidence of the people who lived here and the merchants who came here to do business. How to minimize the impact was the problem that gave Bai Fuling a headache.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. Bai Fuling was about to get up and go to the west wing of the backyard to figure out what to do, when Shi Zhu brought in six people dressed as officers, one of whom was Galangan whom she had met not long ago.
When he saw Bai Fuling sitting in the hall, his position was actually on the same level as Bu and Shan, he was slightly taken aback, then turned his eyes away.
