Chapter 113 The group is in panic all night
Yizhou County, outside Dianchi County.

In the Yong family's Chinese army tent, Yong Mian as the commander-in-chief, Meng Yi as the deputy commander-in-chief, plus a group of Sou and Yi Qu commanders, were gathering for discussion.

It's just that the atmosphere in the big tent was a bit strange. No one spoke, and no one talked about the military situation. Everyone was silent, with their heads buried in silence. They only occasionally raised their heads and glanced at the expressions on the faces of the people around them.

Yong Mian, who was sitting in the main seat, was slightly higher up and could clearly see the expressions on the faces and body movements of everyone present. He was not angry at the current stagnant atmosphere in the tent, but I sighed internally.

He knew in his heart that the silent behavior of the group of people in front of him was because of the current situation, which was getting worse and worse for them.

They have never captured Dianchi County. Yesterday, another news came from Zhuti County. The Soba people who were sent to store water to block the officers and soldiers were defeated by Wu Yi. They were either killed or captured. Most of the Soba people were defeated. He was even damaged and drowned in the water.

Originally, he planned to block the news and send out his troops to urge Soyi to attack the city. However, Cun Shui's retreating troops dispersed and the news could not be blocked at all. The Sou Yi Qushuai who had been lured by him all knew about Cun Shui. Defeat, knowing that the officers and soldiers will enter Yizhou County soon.

Therefore, he had no choice but to gather a crowd to discuss the matter of storing water, so as not to disperse people's hearts and make the situation worse. However, no one was willing to take the lead in military discussions to cheer up people's hearts.

Yong Kai, who was beside Yong Mian, glanced around at the Sou Yi Qushuai present and thought about it in his mind. It seemed that there were a few Qushuai missing.

Yong Kai was a little helpless. When Soyi saw the benefits, he ran over. When he saw the harm, he stayed away from his father and son. He didn't know about loyalty and righteousness, and only valued the benefits.Now the officers and soldiers have only won in Cushui for a while, but Qushuai secretly ran away with his men. Later, when the officers and soldiers entered Yizhou County, it is estimated that there will not be many Qushuai left who followed his father and son. It is hard to say not a single one.

After a long silence, an old man named Qushuai finally spoke. He raised his hands towards Yongmian's position and said: "Yongshuai, there is news from my family that Zhuojing has given birth to a son. I need to go back and have a look. I hope he will." Yong Shuai’s blessing.”

Yong Mian, who had originally brightened up when he heard someone speaking, suddenly extinguished the light in his eyes after listening to the words of this Sou Yi Qushuai. He could not bear to face the Sou Yiqushuai's request in front of him. Rejected in front of everyone, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Yong Mian nodding, the Souyi Qushuai immediately handed over and left the tent with a happy face. He didn't know whether the happy look on his face was because his wife had given birth to a son, or because he no longer had to stay here.

"Yongshuai, a letter came from home. My mother unfortunately passed away. I originally planned to achieve great things with Yongshuai, but now I am so sad that I can't do anything. Staying here will not be helpful to Yongshuai. I think If I go back to attend the funeral, please ask Commander Yong for his permission."

With someone taking the lead, another Soyi Qushuai spoke up. This person's old mother suddenly passed away, and Soyi, who had only had a weak family relationship, suddenly seemed to be on the verge of death, as if the sky had collapsed.

One, two, three... one after another, the old man Yi Qushuai started to resign.

Not long after, there were only a few Soyi Qushuai left in Yong's tent. As for why they didn't leave, it was not because of loyalty, but because they saw Yong Mian's increasingly darker complexion and Yong Mian's eyes. The murderous intent inside them was getting stronger and stronger, and if they tried to run away at this time, they might bump into Yong Mian, so they planned to wait for dark and sneak away.

The barbarians were like this, and Meng Yi, as the head of the Meng clan, a large clan in Nanzhong, also had the idea of ​​retreating. He regretted it and should have followed the advice of his eldest son Meng Jie and not participate in the Yong clan's rebellion. Now he is riding a tiger and is in trouble.

Xianxian County and Qielan County.

Zhu Bao, the magistrate of Zangqi County in the county temple, was like a frightened bird at this moment, because the current situation in Zangqi County was very bad for him, very bad.

He had lured a group of barbarians and sent them to the Yachi River crossing to block the officers and soldiers. However, this group of barbarians could not hold on for even a day before they were attacked and defeated by the captain named Gan Ning at night.

Gan Ning's tribe was now marching towards Qielan County. Zhu Bao calculated his strength and found that apart from Zhu's tribe, there were only two other Soyi tribes that he had recruited with huge sums of money, with a total of only more than 2000 people. , I'm afraid I can't resist the officers and soldiers no matter what.

He probably knew about the news about the strength of the officers and soldiers that they had passed through the Yachi River breakout point. There were about 4000 officers and soldiers. "Jing Yi." Zhu Bao gritted his teeth. If Jing Yi was willing to cooperate with him, with Jing Yi's reputation as the prefect of Zangqi County, the surnames of Long, Fu, Yin, Dong, Wang, etc. in Zangqi County might be If he raises troops to rely on him, his current military strength will not be so weak.

But now, no one with the surnames Long, Fu, Yin, Dong, Wang, etc. made any move. They all said some evasive words and dismissed the envoys he sent to him, the county magistrate, for his invitation to raise an army.

At this time, there was a sound outside the Mingtang, and Zhu Bao stood up in excitement and strode out.

As he walked, he heard the noise outside getting louder and louder, including swords clashing, falling to the ground wailing, and miserable sounds of begging for mercy.

When he reached the door, Zhu Bao saw Jing Yi, the prefect who was supposed to be locked in the prison car. His face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat could not stop flowing from his head.

Glancing at the circle of people around Jing Yi, he saw the chiefs of the Long, Fu, and Yin clans in Zangqi County. He understood and knew why Zhu Bao came out of the prison car.

The Zhu family is considered to be the top clan in Xianxian County, but the Long, Fu, and Yin clans can compete with the Zhu family. It was only Zhu Bao who ascended to the position of Jun Cheng under Jing Yi's promotion that overwhelm them. Now they work together Under the circumstances, Zhu was naturally no match.

'It's over. Zhu Bao's mind went blank, leaving only the thought of "It's over". He couldn't be the governor of Zangda County. There was no hope for the Yelang King he wanted to be. He was finished, and the Zhu family was finished.

Jing Yi, who was opposite Zhu Bao, had a calm face, but there were complex emotions in his eyes, some pity, some disappointment, some sadness. Mixed with these complicated emotions, he looked at Zhu Bao, who was stunned.

Yue Yi County, Qiongdu County.

In the sixth year of Yuanding in the Western Han Dynasty, the Qiongdu Yi rebelled. Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che sent Sima Xiangru as an envoy to launch a crusade from Yueyong River. He killed the Qiongdu Yi king, built Qiongdu County, and established Yueyong County.

Qiongdu County, which is the seat of Yueqi County, was originally supposed to be the residence of the prefect of Yueqi County. However, due to the chaos in the world and the unrest within the country, no county governor dared to enter Qiongdu County for a long time. Instead, Gao Yuan and Gao Yuan, who were barbarians, Gaoding and his son occupied Qiongdu and regarded it as their own nest.

Since the Yi King Gaoyuan occupied Qiongdu, he relied on the fierceness of his sons to expel the Han people in Qiongdu outside the city, seized the Han people's houses, and did not allow the Han people to live in the city. They could only live in houses outside the city.

But now even the residences of the Han people outside the city are being demolished by the barbarians. Because Gaoyuan retreated from Beishui to Qiongdu, he can only defend the city in Qiongdu. To defend the city, he needs to clean up the objects in front of the city wall so that The front of the city wall is widened, so that you can have a clear view from the top of the city, which is beneficial to defending the city.

The Han people living outside the city were naturally reluctant to part with their family property, but due to the swordsmanship of the Soyi, they had no choice but to drag their children and daughters away from their homes. They watched their houses being demolished by the Soyi, leaving a sad look on their faces. Tears, Xianggu cried bitterly.

The progress of demolishing the houses was too slow, and Gao Yuan even ordered his men to set fire to it. With the help of the bleak autumn wind, a large number of Han houses collapsed in the flames.

Standing at the head of the city tower, Yi King Gao Yuan squinted his eyes to admire the fire scene below the city, with a strong smile on his face. He looked back at Gao Ding beside him and said: "Ding'er, if you burn down these obstructive houses, Qiongdu City will definitely be able to defend it. Wait." After holding on for a year and a half, when the officers and soldiers are tired, we can lead the troops to fight out of the city, which will definitely wash away the shame of defeat in Beishui."

Hearing this, Gao Ding forced a smile to deal with his naive father. He had previously advised Gao Yuan to abandon Qiongdu and retreat to the mountains and forests, so that the officers and soldiers would have nothing to do with them. However, Gao Yuan was reluctant to part with the prosperity of Qiongdu and was unwilling to return to the mountains to live. , so there is this scene of fire.

Gao Ding raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes a little dim. He was worried about whether he could hold on to Qiongdu City. He had read military books and knew that holding on to the city without rescue was an irrational thing.

But now his father Gao Yuan planned to hold on to Qiongdu without reinforcements, which gave him a headache.
