Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 501 Danger is coming!

In the study, Shitou said a few words: "The caravan encountered Wang Ting's cavalry on the road, and they are retreating now. Fang Baihu has brought the cavalry to meet him, and let the young lady inform the young lady!"

Song Liyun's expression changed, and she slapped her palm on the desk. What she was worried about finally happened!

At this moment, Mr. Yu, Mr. Qian and others who came a little later also appeared outside the study door, and they were accompanied by a caravan guard who was in a state of embarrassment.

"Young Madam, don't worry, there are 500 caravan guards, plus Shang Baihu has brought cavalry to meet them, nothing will happen!"

Seeing that Song Liyun, a pregnant woman, was angry, Mr. Yu hurriedly comforted her.

Song Liyun was worried that he might be ignorant of defense, so he had dedicated professionals, and Fang Zheng had the preemptive right in case of an emergency.

That's why Fang Zheng reported to her after he dispatched troops.

Song Liyun also felt that she had been restless since she was pregnant, so she took a long breath to settle her mind: "What's the specific situation?"

Those goods are the lifeblood of merchants, and these merchants are not the lifeblood of Mida City.

If something goes wrong, the reputation of Mida City will be completely destroyed.

The guard who came back to report the letter fell to his knees with a plop: "Madam of the city lord, before we reached the Zhabu River, the road was destroyed. Boss Lin and steward Wan's family thought there was something wrong and asked everyone to return to the city.

But other merchants said that the road was washed away by the summer water. If there was an ambush, the pontoon bridge in the river ahead should be destroyed first, and they tried their best to leave. "

Speaking of this, the guard was obviously remorseful, and his voice choked up.

The guards had explored this route in advance, but they had been on the road many times in the past three years, so it was inevitable that they were negligent.

They only looked at the pontoon bridge in the river and whether there were wolves within a mile distance around them.

Although the Lin family and the Wan family are big families in the city, there are usually people who are willing to listen to what they have to say.

But now people have already walked halfway, and there are many other merchants.

Everyone was in a hurry to leave, and no one was halfway on the road and went back because of a little abnormality.

So, the caravan stopped on the road, and the guards repaired the road.

This stop lasted for half a day, because there was no rest stop, hundreds of people crowded together and were in chaos.

Half a day later, bad news came, the guard who went to contact the rest station ahead was missing.

The sentry guards also sounded the alarm, and there were cavalry around.

"Are you going to turn around right now?" Song Liyun said in a deep voice.

The guard shook his head: "A few families saw that the road had been repaired, so they thought of rushing across the Zhabu River immediately, and as long as they crossed the river, they could contact the Zhenbei Army in Hecheng!
They yelled that they didn't want to go back to the city! "

The Zhabu River Beach is one mile wide, and now it is dry in winter, and there is a wooden pontoon bridge. As long as the horse-drawn carriage passes, it is close to Hecheng.

"How was the situation when you left?" Song Liyun was no longer in the mood to listen to the guards and go on slowly, she just wanted to know who was attacking the caravan.

The guard hurriedly said: "Boss Lin sees that something is wrong and everyone is unwilling to retreat, so let me report back to the city first."

Song Liyun frowned, and couldn't help but blame Lin Qingyuan for letting the guard who couldn't find the point to report something: "So, the caravan is fine for the time being!"

She said so, but the few people in the room did not relax, but looked dignified.

Lin Qingyuan and the others are all people who have been walking on the grassland for many years.

Robbers and bandits have all experienced it, and it's not that they can't hold back and yell at a little trouble.

Fangzheng must have found something amiss before letting Fangzheng lead his troops there.

Old Qian said: "Although Fang Baihu's cavalry is not as good as Lei Ziying, if the opponent just wants to block the way and rob, they can be easily sent away."

The caravan has hundreds of guards and a hundred cavalry, which is already a considerable force and cannot be easily defeated.

Song Liyun nodded: "Old Qian, take him down to rest, and then organize the patrol team in the city."

The guard who reported the letter ran for three days and was exhausted.

Old Qian knew his position, and led people to leave in response.

Shi Shi also exited the door to find Mrs. Yun and the guards in the mansion, and made preparations early.

Mr. Yu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Song Liyun: "Mr. Yu stay a step!"

There was no one else in the room, so Song Liyun said to Mr. Yu, "What do Mr. Yu think?"

What I said was urgent just now, but Mr. Yu was not too nervous, but his face was gloomy and thoughtful every day.

Mr. Yu sat down and said, "Young Madam also found out!" He used an affirmative sentence.

Song Liyun said in a deep voice: "I don't understand military affairs, but in the past two months, my husband has been arresting Di soldiers who crossed the border near Pingliang Fort, and the Zhenbei Army is also strictly guarding the border. Logically speaking, they should have returned to the army long ago.

But now it seems to be entangled by something, whether to fight or retreat... What are you doing? "

"The caravan hasn't encountered any real danger yet, but why transfer Fangzheng away?"

At the beginning, Zhao Tingduo said that he was rounding up the three thousand Di soldiers in the mountains, but there is no news until now, and it seems that they have been cut off from contact.

The Zhenbei Army also withdrew from Kara Mountain.

In addition, the caravan took the guards away, and even Fang Zheng's hundred cavalry were also pulled away.

To be honest, Mida City at this moment, without the protection of force, is like a piece of fat exposed, and the wolf teeth and eagle claws can be taken at will.

Old Yu's face changed instantly. Song Liyun could think of it, and he could naturally think of it: "Young Madam, we have been cheated!"

Yes, Mida City was deceived, not only Zhao Tingduo was deceived, but also Zhao Tinglei.

Old Yu is worthy of being an old man in the army, and he has been Zhao Tinglei's staff for several years, and he is more insightful about the military than Song Liyun.

It's just that in the past three years or so, he has been staying in the grassland since he found the mine, building blast furnaces, and engaged in scientific research, virtually away from government and military affairs.

When Song Liyun reminded him, he naturally figured out a lot of things as soon as he opened his mind.

There is indeed something strange about it. Since receiving the letter about the defeat of Pingliang Fort, there has been no round-the-city interview, and the information obtained is all relayed.

Seeing Mr. Yu's expression changing, Song Liyun said nervously, "Mr. Yu, is your husband in danger?"

Old Man Yu shook his head: "Third Young Master is not in danger, but we are in danger!"

At this time, he resumed the military adviser who assisted the Lord in the Hecheng Garrison Mansion.

Song Liyun lowered her eyes. She had no time to ask why Zhao Tingduo was not in danger. She just raised her hand to touch her abdomen and said calmly, "Mr. Yu, are our things buried yet?"

Mr. Yu nodded: "Ten mines have been placed on the road outside the city, but they are far away from the city gate, and the rest have not been found yet."

The landmine experiment was successful, and Song Liyun asked Mr. Yu to bury it in some special places.

It's just that there are still people active in and outside the city, and after the mines are buried, some firewood and haystacks need to be piled up.

"Immediately issue an order to put Laoqian under martial law throughout the city, disperse all the tribes outside the city, and plant mines at the gate of the city!"

Song Liyun no longer concealed those things, no matter where the danger came from, she decided to put herself into the turtle shell first.

Mr. Yu raised his voice to tell his followers to do it immediately, and then turned to look at the wife of the city owner with unkind eyes.

He knew that now he needed to explain to his wife where the danger came from.

This is what he thought of just now, and it needs two people to analyze it.

"Young Madam, the Xuyang Royal Court must have gathered those criminals away long ago! And at least two years!"

Mr. Yu hurriedly paced back and forth in the study, thinking and deducing the narrative at the same time.
