Chapter 224 Defending the City (Third Watch)
No matter what Sima Ling thought, since he had already chosen his own throne, they no longer had to save the last of their dignity.

The enemies had already reached the city gate, and they didn't have to think about anything other than protecting the people and defeating the enemies.

Xie Zhiyun came out of Su Guogong's mansion, got on his horse directly, and went to the state pasture mansion with Wei Ying and others.

Old General Zhou and other generals were waiting in the state pastoral mansion. As soon as Xie Zhiyun and the others arrived, they all entered the meeting hall together.

Xie Zhijun asked Old General Zhou and Wei Ying to sit down first, and then looked at the leading general: "Generals, what do you think?"

At this time, one mind is needed, but those who have two minds cannot be reused.

Zhou Chenglin looked serious, and he said: "For the present strategy, the only way is to defend the city, protect the people, and resist the enemy."

This was very clear, and it coincided with Wei's thoughts. Xie Zhiyun's eyes swept over the generals one by one, and he was relieved.

It seems that the Wei family army has one heart and one heart, and there is no two-hearted person.

Xie Zhiyun nodded and looked at Zhou Chenglin: "Old General, I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to fight. I will leave the important matter of defending the city against the enemy to you and my aunt."

Zhou Chenglin had a serious face: "Don't worry, Young Madam."

Xie Zhiyun looked at the generals, his voice was low, but with an unquestionable momentum.

"When Sima's family and country were in danger, he had no heart to protect the loyal ministers who defended the country. His majesty must have been instigated by villains, so that he made such a wrong order and made the loyal ministers blood cold. Now we don't want to On the contrary, one is for self-protection, the other is for the common people, and the third is for the side of the Qing emperor.”

After saying these words, the momentum of everyone present was shocked.

Xie Zhijun stood up and walked to the side of the main seat step by step. She turned around and looked at everyone.

Her stature is actually not too tall, and she is also above average among women. In addition, she is not yet in her twenties this year, so she looks quite young, and it is easy for people to look down on her.

But in Yezhou, no one would despise her.

Xie Zhiyun's face was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, it seemed that being betrayed by the court and being sent to the city by soldiers could not make her panic.

"Generals, what we have to do now is to guard Yezhou and wait for the news of the victory of the Duke and the Young Master."

"Wait until that day..."

Xie Zhiyun smiled lightly: "When that day comes, we will go and clear away the courtiers around you for His Majesty."

This is beautifully said and very clear.

No one in the room was timid. They stood up together, clenched their fists with their right hands, and lightly hammered on their left chest.

"Defend Yezhou and suppress the courtiers."

Xie Zhiyun smiled: "Okay, from now on, Yezhou will be entrusted to you."

It was night, an urgent report followed by galloping horses galloping out from the north city gate, the soldiers of the camp in the western suburbs adjusted their formation overnight, and 1 people were transferred to Yezhou city overnight, and the soldiers stationed in the east city gate In the barracks.

Xie Zhiyun asked Liu Zhaohui to send a team to follow her, Wei Yao, Ji Xiuxiu and others to various streets and alleys in the city, and called the people and village chiefs to explain their intentions one by one.

One is to reassure the people, and the other is to gather people's hearts.

North Vietnam came prepared this time. It was obvious that they wanted to attack and besiege the city, forcing Yezhou into a situation where there was no other way. They could either unite with Huzhou, Taixing, etc. to directly rebel and force them to rebel on the spot, or force them to send people there. The border made Wei Cang's army shake.

No matter which point, it is extremely vicious.

But Xie Zhiyun didn't want to leave with any move, they had to defend the city by themselves.

There are six city gates in Yezhou, and the three gates in the north and west can be regarded as the back gates of Yezhou. They are close to Daying in the western suburbs, Langhuan and Taixing. These three are far away from Yingzhou. The North Vietnamese army would not choose these three to attack. city.

The most likely to be besieged is the southeast city gate.

Defending the city is actually much easier than besieging it, but the North Vietnamese army has a large number of people, and it is freezing cold at the moment, and there are large tracts of farmland outside the city. If the siege continues like this, next year's harvest will be difficult to predict.

But no matter what, Yezhou must be defended.

Everyone in the Wei family ran around the city overnight, and informed the people of the news that night. Although the people were a little panicked, seeing the sincere faces of the Wei family members and the well-trained appearance of the Wei family army, they felt a little more at ease.

They have all experienced wars, and some even killed people with their own hands. The past two years have been easy, but since the danger is coming, there is nothing to be afraid of.

When the dawn rose, the common people spontaneously gathered in the South Square, looking tired, but their eyes were still bright and energetic Xie Zhijun.

"Young lady, let's continue to make military rations for the soldiers."

"Yes, young lady, we can also work, we can do anything."

"Young lady, I can join the army and defend the city."

Xie Zhiyun felt very warm in his heart, because the people in Yezhou trusted them so much and worked so hard for the city.

None of them would give up, let alone give up.

Xie Zhiyun walked to the high platform, looked at the crowds, she smoothed the messy hair on her sideburns, and said loudly: "We have so many elite soldiers, so many people, so much food, coal and swords. , since they want to break through Yezhou City and let the Duke and the Little Duke shake the morale of the army at the border, then we will not do what they want."

"Can we keep Yezhou safe?"

Her voice was clear and loud, without shouting at the top of her lungs, but everyone could hear her clearly.

The people were aroused with passion and longing for a happy life. They waved their rough palms full of calluses and said loudly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Xie Zhiyun looked at the crowd and smiled calmly.

Sure enough, when the sun was rising in the sky, the first sound of war drums came from outside the city.

It was a North Vietnamese demonstration.

Wei Cang and Wei Ji were leading 8 people to fight bloody battles at the border. No matter how stupid Sima Ling was, he couldn't come up with such a lousy excuse as collaborating with the enemy and treason.

This time they used the excuse: "Detain the Sima royal family."

Xie Zhiyun just laughed angrily.

Accompanied by her, Cui Ji's family boarded the tower and looked at the huge plain outside the city.

On the plain, countless tents had already been set up, and a group of elite soldiers wandered back and forth half a mile outside the city, with drums beating non-stop.

Xie Zhijun and others came to General Zhou, Zhou Chenglin looked at Cui Ji and Xie Zhijun, and finally sighed.

"It seems that the Sima clan is determined to capture Yezhou."

Sima Ao had already run away, so they couldn't call out the "imprisoned" Sima royal family, so the North Vietnamese army would not withdraw.

This is a dead end.

Either you die or I die.

Xie Zhijun squinted his eyes and looked at the distance, and said softly: "Old General, how much is it worth?"

"If the enemy does not increase its strength, we can defend for more than half a year."

Zhou Chenglin said: "If we double the number of troops, we can defend for three months."

Xie Zhijun looked calm: "Three months is enough."
