Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 169 Panic in the city, formation of cavalry

The destruction of Yunzhou did not spread to other states immediately, only the court knew about it.

In the age when news is relatively closed, unless you keep an eye on it all the time, there will be a long delay in news.

Fang Yuan and the others in Liaozhou also found nothing. The development of Liaozhou is in full swing, and the infrastructure of Liaozhou is developing at a high speed.

These days, Du He, Qin Huaiyu and others have escorted the grain from Langzhou back, and returned to Chang'an City with Changsun Chong.

Regarding the instigator behind the Yellow River dam, they only had clues and did not catch the murderer, but they assured Fang Yuan that they would not stop there.

Also in these days, Fang Yuan also launched a lot of policies to benefit the people, mainly caring for the refugees who migrated into Liaozhou City.

One of them is the issue of housing. You can buy a community house with a loan from a bank, and the interest is extremely low.

This is very convenient for refugees who are unable to cultivate or are too lazy to cultivate.

So when the policy was launched, the number of applicants was [-].

At the beginning of the design of the community, it is to accommodate about [-] people.

There are only about [-] people in the two communities.

The applicants are instantly covered.

This made the aristocratic families in the development community very excited.

Then ask Fang Yuan for the land, and prepare to develop the next community house again.

But Fang Yuan didn't agree immediately, and asked them to apply after the completion of the project.

Everything was going in a good direction, but soon Liaozhou received a battle report from Chang'an City.

All of a sudden, the officials of the governor's mansion were shocked, and the news was far more shocking than the disaster relief not long ago.

"Zhou Zun, they won't come to our Liaozhou, will they?"

Zhang San trembled.

The news shocked him too much.

A cavalry force of about [-] broke through Yunzhou and entered Hedong Road.

A thousand Eastern Turkic cavalry, this is more terrible than an absolute natural disaster for the people of several states in Hedong.

"You pass the news to all the noble families in the city, but warn them not to leak it."

"Ask them to use their relationship to keep an eye on this cavalry. I want to know what's going on with this cavalry!"

Fang Yuan was also extremely shocked in his heart, said in a deep voice.

It's terrible, a thousand Eastern Turkic cavalry entering Hedong is like entering the land of no one.

The troops of the two governor's mansions in Hedong Road were all transferred to the battlefield, and there was no troops in Hedong that could stop such a terrible cavalry.

If the imperial court does not send troops to resist them, it will be a disaster like hell for the entire Hedong Road, which is even more serious than the floods in Henan Road.

"Yes!"

Zhang San should be right away.

After he left, Fang Yuan issued a ban on the Governor's Mansion.

The news is too horrifying. If it spreads out, it will disturb the people and cause turmoil.

There are too many newcomers in one city and four counties in Liaozhou now, and they cannot stand the sprint of this news.

Not long after, Du Miaoyan hurried over.

"Fang Yuan, have you received the news?"

There was an unconcealable shock on Du Miaoyan's face.

"received."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

His expression was also serious.

He was worried that the Eastern Turkic cavalry would go to Liaozhou.

The cavalry is too flexible, and it is the strongest arm in this era.

In addition, the East Turks will not restrict the region because of food and grass, and there will be "two-legged sheep" wherever they are killed.

"My dad wants me to go back."

Du Miaoyan sighed.

Du Ruhui's letter was urging her to leave.

Although Liaozhou is far away from Yunzhou, this East Road is not safe anymore.

"Should be."

"You will set off later!"

Fang Yuan nodded deeply.

And Zhao Zixuan's mother and daughter will also be sent away.

"No, I want to stay!"

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said firmly.

"Go back and stay in danger!"

Fang Yuan said seriously.

"I do not!"

"I want to stay with you!"

Du Miaoyan said firmly again.

His face flushed slightly, but his tone was firm.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yuan opened his mouth, but seeing Du Miaoyan's firm expression, he stopped persuading him.

"Zhou Zhou, there is a refugee asking to see you, saying that he has something important to see you."

At this time, a gatekeeper state official came and reported respectfully.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other, thinking that the news must have leaked.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan asked the state officials to invite people in.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with elegant appearance came in.

Although the person looks ordinary, Fang Yuan felt that he was bookish.

"Grassman Xu Shihui [kuài], pay homage to Lord Inspector!"

Xu Shihui respectfully saluted Fang Yuan.

"Free gift!"

"You have something important to ask me?"

Fang Yuan nodded, looking nervously at Xu Shihui.

He was worried that Xu Shihui knew about the Eastern Turkic invasion.

If a refugee knows it, other people will soon know it too.

"It made Lord Inspector laugh."

"Cao Min had no choice but to find a reason to meet Zhou Zun."

Xu Shihui said with a sneer.

After entering the city for many days, he kept looking for opportunities to meet Fang Yuan.

But although the door of Governor's Mansion is open, it doesn't mean that everyone can see Fang Yuan.

Today is the fifth time he has come to see Fang Yuan, and finally a gatekeeper state official is willing to inform him once.

"Ok?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

They exchanged glances with Du Miaoyan who was at the side.

It turns out that they didn't know that the Eastern Turks entered the Hedong Road.

"Caomin thinks he has some knowledge, and wants to work under Lord Inspector."

Xu Shihui tidied up his clothes and saluted Fang Yuan respectfully again.

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, he couldn't be bothered by Xu Shihui's self-recommendation.

Xu Shihui didn't speak, he kept bending over at ninety degrees to salute, without moving.

But actually, Xu Shihui was panicked, not sure if Fang Yuan would give him a chance.

After all, he has no reputation, and the reputation of his ancestors is too embarrassing to say. In addition, there is no shortage of talents in Liaozhou.

"Since you think you have some knowledge, how about I test you?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

Now that everyone has seen it, give him a chance.

It just so happened that the Eastern Turkic Qianqi entered the Hedong Road and needed to discuss it with someone, so just ask him.

"Please ask the governor to come up with a question!"

Xu Shihui immediately said loudly.

There was an unconcealable excitement in his tone.

If you are willing to test yourself, you are willing to give yourself a chance.

A good governor, really an enlightened and good official, I met the right person.

"Now the imperial court is at war with the Eastern Turks."

"If a thousand cavalry from the Eastern Turks break through Yunzhou and enter the Hedong Road at this time, what do you think Liaozhou will do?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, but did not speak.

It's just that he didn't expect Fang Yuan to test the opponent with such an important and difficult matter.

"If such a thing really happens, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Hedong Dao."

"And for us in Liaozhou, it was also a very terrible turmoil."

"Besides the grassroots, Liaozhou should form cavalry to counterattack at any time."

"Mobilize tens of thousands more to guard the city."

Xu Shihui's expression suddenly became serious, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice.

"As you said, more people will definitely know about the East Turkic invasion of Hedong Road."

"Now there are more than 2 newcomers in Liaozhou. Everyone must panic when the news spreads. Liaozhou is in chaos. Before the Eastern Turkic cavalry has killed, Liaozhou will be in chaos."

Fang Yuan said with some disappointment.

It's not a talent, it's a pity, it's a waste of my time.

"No, no, no."

"The grassroots believe that the spread of the news will be more conducive to the unity of Liaozhou!"

Xu Shihui shook his head and said firmly.

"What's your opinion?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly and asked.

Du Miaoyan on the side was also very curious.

"It is certain that the people will panic when the news spreads."

"But after the panic, they must want to get asylum from the state!"

"Because they dare not go out of the city, because those are cavalry, and because those beasts eat people!"

"If the prefecture and county publicize well, and form cavalry in advance to march around one city and four counties to show the strength of Liaozhou, the grassroots will think that Liaozhou will not be chaotic, and it will even make newcomers and old people more united!"

Xu Shihui said slowly.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan both showed contemplative expressions.

According to Xu Shihui's statement, even if the news spreads, Liaozhou will not be in chaos.

Not only will it not be chaotic, but it will also become more united, and it can even resist the Eastern Turkic Qianqi.

"Xu Shihui, your analysis is good!"

"The officer now orders you to be the deputy commander in wartime, responsible for coordinating the propaganda and resisting the Eastern Turkic Thousand Riders!"

Fang Yuan made a decisive decision and decided that Xu Shihui is a talent.

It is a talent to be able to come up with a plan different from your own in such a short period of time and feel that it is feasible.

"Thank you, Lord Inspector!"

Xu Shihui was overjoyed immediately, and excitedly saluted Fang Yuan.

But halfway through the salute, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord Inspector, it's not true that there are Eastern Turkic cavalry who entered the Hedong Road, right?"

"Are you afraid?"

Fang Yuan didn't answer, but smiled.

"Not afraid!"

"This is Caomin's chance!"

Xu Shihui took a deep breath, shook his head, and said seriously.

This is his rare opportunity, an opportunity for him to show Fang Yuan.

Only when you have the opportunity to perform can people know your ability and gain trust.

This is the opportunity God gave me!

"Go back and come up with a plan for me tomorrow!"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, said in a deep voice.

Time is running out, and no one knows whether or when the Eastern Turks will come.

It is necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible and make preparations as soon as possible in order to be trampled by the Eastern Turks.

"Um, can you arrange a place for Caomin? The Caomin family has four members."

Xu Shihui suddenly showed distress and said.

After he and his family went to the city, they did not go to the factory to provide food and housing like others.

Instead, he brought his wife and children to sleep on the street, looking for a chance to meet Fang Yuan, to see if Fang Yuan would give him a chance.

"Then let's live in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion first."

"There is free food in the backyard. Your monthly salary is tentatively set at [-] yuan, and it will be changed later depending on your performance."

Fang Yuan looked at Xu Shihui in surprise.

But seeing his embarrassment, he didn't ask further.

As long as you are really talented, food, housing and monthly salary are not a problem.

"Thank you, Lord Inspector!"

Xu Shihui saluted excitedly, thanking Fang Yuan.

Such treatment is rare to see a wise master!
"Don't worry about thanking me, sir."

"If you don't have real talent and learning in the later stage, this official will drive you away."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

"Lord Inspector, don't worry!"

"Caomin will definitely not let you down!"

Xu Shihui also smiled.

He could see that Fang Yuan was joking with him.

Majestic when it should be majestic, joking when you can joke, where can you find such a wise master?

"Go ahead and arrange for your wife and children to move in."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"Yes!"

"Lord Inspector, Caomin suddenly has a guess."

"Thousands of East Turkic cavalry have entered Hedong, and they will most likely rush to us in Liaozhou!"

Xu Shihui immediately agreed.

But when he was about to turn around and leave, he stayed.

"Why?"

Fang Yuan suddenly frowned and said.

The Eastern Turks' invasion of Hedong and their invasion of Liaozhou are two very different concepts.

Liaozhou is small, and the city is also small, it is difficult to resist the impact of the East Turkic cavalry.

"Nearly [-] refugees gathered outside our city of Liaozhou a few days ago."

"Eastern Turkic cavalry entered Hedong Road. They should know the news. They will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to massacre these unarmed refugees."

"Although our Liaozhou has taken in these refugees, the East Turkic cavalry may not know the news, and they may still come here to kill them."

Xu Shihui said solemnly.

"you're right!"

Fang Yuan's heart felt a little heavy again.

Xu Shihui's guess is very likely.

Siege of cities and villages will consume more or less time and manpower.

And there are so many refugees at the gate of Liaozhou City, just trample on it, why not.

And because of the time difference and poor information, the Eastern Turkic cavalry is very likely to come here.

Thousands of riders. They are still terrifying Eastern Turkic cavalry, Fang Yuan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

"Please, Lord Inspector, form the cavalry immediately!"

Xu Shihui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Then he left to join his wife and children.

"Fang Yuan, do you have any arrangements?"

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

After Xu Shihui's analysis, she also felt that Liaozhou was likely to be raided by Eastern Turkic Qianqi.

"Find the siblings of the Li family and ask them to train cavalry urgently!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The last time Li Danqiu captured the bandits, he mentioned that he wanted to train the cavalry.

But because of the limited number of war horses, and considering that people would be staring at them, there was no follow-up.

Now that Hedong Road is in trouble, the imperial court asks the states to pay attention to safety, defend themselves, and keep in touch with Chang'an City at all times.

At this time, the formation of cavalry for self-defense, no one dared to say anything.

"So what do I need to do?"

Du Miaoyan asked again.

She wanted to help Fang Yuan reduce the burden.

"Have!"

"horseshoe!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up.

He suddenly remembered that horses in this era did not have horseshoes.

A horse without a horseshoe is not as powerful on the battlefield as the Eastern Turks.

And because there is no protection, the horseshoe is easy to be injured, and it is easy to lose.

"What's a horseshoe?"

Du Miaoyan thought for a while, but didn't quite understand.

"Well, I'll draw you a picture, and you go to the steel factory and ask the craftsmen to build it overnight."

Fang Yuan was slightly excited.

Find drawings to draw and write, and tell Du Miaoyan what to do.

"This, this is really a genius idea."

"Fang Yuan, your horseshoe can greatly enhance the strength of the cavalry, and will change the situation of the Great Tang cavalry!"

Du Miaoyan's knowledge is profound, after listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, she was immediately shocked.

It can not only improve the combat power, but also reduce the loss of war horses, Fang Yuan's idea is really powerful.

"This matter is very important, and I will leave it to you."

"You take all the eighty horses in my hand to install horseshoes, and I will continue to look for horses."

Fang Yuan smiled and said solemnly.

Eighty horses are too few. If you want to collect the horses of other people in the city, try to gather as many as one thousand horses.

"it is good!"

"I will also bring the thirty horses from the Royal Firm!"

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

Immediately leave with Fang Yuan's intention.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, and immediately asked people to invite Li Danqiu siblings.

"really?"

"I want to be the commander in chief!"

Li Danqiu's eyes lit up instantly after listening.

"Sister, are you not afraid at all?"

Li Siwen was speechless.

He just listened to what Fang Yuan said, he was quite shocked.

But his sister was so excited, he was immediately speechless.

Thousands of East Turkic cavalry, are they cavalry, not infantry, or the Eastern Turkic cavalry that all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty feared.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Foreign races invade, everyone can punish them!"

"If you are afraid, hurry up and go aside, don't tell people that he is my brother."

Li Danqiu snorted and said righteously.

It's just that Li Siwen, who knows her well, knows that Li Danqiu just wants to fight.

Because his father Li Ji did not allow them to go to the battlefield, Li Danqiu was obsessed with war.

"Then you start training cavalry tomorrow!"

"Now I will provide you with more than 100 horses and people first, and then I will provide you with some every day. You can train anywhere in the city. It is best to let more people know."

Although Fang Yuan also felt that Li Danqiu's words were false.

But the siblings undoubtedly learned some of Li Ji's skills and knew how to train and lead troops.

The last time the bandits were wiped out, if their siblings hadn't trained state officials and security guards, they might not have won so easily.

"I want to be the commander in chief!"

Li Danqiu stared at Fang Yuan, and emphasized again.

"Okay, but you have to train the cavalry first!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while, but did not refuse Li Danqiu's request.

Looking at one city and four counties in Liaozhou, she should be more able to lead troops to fight without her.

"do not worry!"

"I will build you the strongest cavalry!"

Li Danqiu laughed triumphantly.

She pulled Li Siwen and strode towards the door.

The whole person looks like a mighty general.

Fang Yuan looked at her back and smiled, and soon became serious again.

That night, Fang Yuan, who was rarely free, went to the iron and steel factory to supervise the work with Du Miaoyan.

When they saw that the horseshoe fit the horse perfectly, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, most of the people in one city and four counties in Liaozhou slept soundly, while the aristocratic families who had already reported were panicked.

If it weren't for not knowing where the Eastern Turkic cavalry is now, there might be a family that moved away from Liaozhou overnight and left Hedong Road.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Shi, who has already moved into the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, will write the strategy and hand it over to Fang Yuan.

After reading Xu Shihui's strategy, Fang Yuan's nervous heart relaxed a little again, and felt that Xu Shihui is a talent.

"This officer will keep an eye on the movement of the Eastern Turkic cavalry."

"Let Zhang San and Yang Sina buy all the horses in one city and four counties."

"You are contacting Li Danqiu to train cavalry in a place where you think you need to be strong."

Fang Yuan accepted the strategy and asked someone to bring it to Zhang San and the others to watch.

Time is tight, and planning needs to be started immediately to prevent the Eastern Turkic cavalry from being killed.

"Yes!"

Xu Shihui said yes with a bow.

Immediately contact the Li Danqiu siblings.

On the same day, the people of Liaozhou City saw mighty cavalry appear in Liaozhou City.

The horseshoeed horse galloped on the concrete road, making a loud rattling sound.

The people who were not at ease because of the sudden addition of so many refugees felt inexplicably at ease in their hearts.

The same is true for those refugees who have migrated in. They also have peace of mind and no longer worry about being bullied by the original residents.

After Fang Yuan heard such feedback, he felt relaxed again.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the terrible news came in just the next day.

"Thousands of eastern Turkic riders entered the territory of Yuzhou and destroyed two counties of Yuzhou. More than 3000 people were massacred!"

"Thousands of East Turkic riders entered the territory of Shuozhou, destroyed a county of Shuozhou, and more than 1000 people were massacred!"

"Thousands of East Turkic riders entered the territory of Hengzhou and destroyed the main city of Hengzhou. More than 4000 people were massacred!"

These news were entrusted by Fang Yuan to the families to keep a close eye on and pass them on to everyone, and they were not exposed to the people of Liaozhou.

But on the third day, the news could no longer be concealed. The people of Liaozhou knew about it, and the people of the whole state fell into panic.

Everyone was terrified and wanted to abandon the city and flee!
