After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 98 Xiong County

Until the carriage was about to hit him, Luo Zhoubai finally ordered unwillingly: "Disperse and let Her Royal Highness go..."

Hearing this, the corners of Helian Wenyu's mouth in the carriage curved beautifully.

My dear, in terms of psychological warfare, you are far inferior to me.

She was sure that Luo Zhoubai would get out of the way.

The ending was exactly as she expected.

"Go to Xunyang City on the border with Qifeng Kingdom." Helian Wenyu's voice came out from the carriage again.

The groom was stunned and quickly reminded: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, there is a war over there. Isn't it appropriate to go over there now?"

Helian Wenyu was displeased: "Go if you are told to go. Where's all the nonsense?"

The groom trembled, did not dare to say anything, and drove off obediently.

Helian Wenyu opened the gauze curtain inside the dull carriage and let a gust of wind blow in, which made her feel much better.

Although Fu Yanping left a few hours in advance, after all, he couldn't go very far with tens of thousands of troops, right?

At this moment, Fu Yanping, who was being thought of by Helian Wenyu, couldn't help but sneeze and asked doubtfully: "Who misses me, General?"

Looking at the army behind him, he saw that the bandit spirit at the beginning was gone. The march was solemn and had already taken the shape of an elite army.

You know, this was originally an army composed of bandits, and its discipline can be imagined.

Just when everyone was not optimistic about this army, Fu Yanping found another way.

Before the march, hundreds of death row prisoners were taken away from the death row and mixed into the army.

At first, no one knew what Fu Yanping was planning. It wasn't until the day of the expedition that Fu Yanping suddenly beheaded dozens of soldiers who were "late," "playful," and "disobeying the general's orders." The discipline of the army suddenly tightened.

Fu Yanping then asked people to constantly promote military discipline in the army.

At the same time, from time to time, people were killed on the spot for violating certain military disciplines, which made everyone remember.

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they no longer dared to violate the rules, but kept the general's discipline firmly in their hearts.

Only those with knowledge know that Fu Yanping killed those prisoners on death row who were serving in the army every time.

These prisoners on death row were warned by Fu Yanping when they came, so they violated "the prescribed military discipline" within the "specified time".

With these death row prisoners as examples, the banditry in the entire army was wiped away, and no one dared to touch military discipline again.

"We are still more than two hundred miles away from the front line, and it will take about four days of travel." Fu Yanping thought.

Thinking of this, Fu Yanping turned around and asked Liu Ma: "How far is the Qifeng Empire from the frontline border now?"

The sergeant thought about the recent intelligence he had received and replied: "According to the latest reports from spies, Qifeng's army will probably arrive in the important town of Xiong County tomorrow afternoon."

Xiong County is a town that they can reach in about three and a half days.

Unexpectedly, in just half a month, the opponent captured so many cities.

Fu Yanping squinted his eyes and replayed the border map in his mind, with an ugly expression on his face: "Xiong County can be said to be the gateway to the six towns in Hedong. Once it is breached, the six towns in Hedong will be in danger."

"If Xiong County falls, we will really have no choice but to retreat to the river and defend it."

Liu Ma did not answer, but looked at Fu Yanping thoughtfully, waiting for the other party's decision.

He is not a general, this is not his consideration.

"Xiong County must hold on for three days and wait for the arrival of my reinforcements." Fu Yanping said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Who is the magistrate of Xiong County now?" Fu Yanping raised his head and asked.

"Luo Zhenzhong." Liu Ma turned over the information in his hand and replied. "Fei Ge sent a message telling him that he must guard for me for three days no matter what. If he guards, I will remember him as the first meritorious service."

"Yes."

……

Xiong County, county government.

Magistrate Luo, whom Fu Yanping was thinking about, was currently arranging his men to pack up the gold and silver treasures and prepare to run away.

Not long after, a guard came in, brought in a paper military order, and said to the fat-bellied and round-eared Magistrate Luo:

"Sir, in the latest military order, Marshal Fu requires us to hold on to Xiong County for three days until his reinforcements arrive."

When Magistrate Luo heard this, his face turned green and he cursed:

"Gungungun, what does this guy named Fu mean? Does he know how many people I have?"

"There are less than 500 people in total, and half of them are still in the hands of the county captain. What can you tell me to use to stop the -strong army of Qifeng Kingdom?"

"Don't think I don't know. This guy named Fu only has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Even if it were him, he might not be able to stop it. You want me to fight an army of hundreds of thousands with a few hundred men?"

"I'm not going to run away, I'm going to stick to it. Are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid?"

The guard waited for him to finish cursing and venting his anger, then cautiously said: "Sir, do we still guard?"

Magistrate Luo rolled his eyes at him and cursed: "Keep an eye on me!"

The guard was not surprised by his behavior. After all, didn't he know the character of the master who had been with him for more than 20 years?

"Then how do we tell the superiors?"

the staff member asked.

As the saying goes, "a group of people will be cowarded." This is true for Magistrate Luo County, who is the backbone, let alone the people below.

Of course the guards didn't want to guard either.

"What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense! People are about to die, and you're still thinking about how to explain it to your boss. What is it?"

"Hurry up and pack your things. According to my detailed reports, the vanguard of the Qingfeng Empire will arrive here before noon tomorrow at the earliest. By then, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."

"As long as you make enough money, are you still worried that you won't have an official job when the court settles down?"

The guard nodded.

Magistrate Luo scolded several maids who were packing famous paintings: "Be gentle, if it's damaged, you won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell it. Do you know that this painting is worth thousands of taels of silver?"

"Tell the brothers that we will evacuate at five o'clock in the evening. Whoever falls behind by then should not blame the county for waiting for them. Whether they live or die depends on their luck."

"Yes." The guard responded and stepped back.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you pack your things quickly? Pack up everything valuable and take it away. You must not leave it behind for others to pick it up."

Magistrate Luo’s curses sounded again...

on the street.

A group of soldiers rushed into a store like wolves and tigers. Regardless of the owner's obstruction, they directly started to rummage through the boxes and rob the store, brazenly and without any disguise in broad daylight.

This is not an isolated case, it happens all over the street. They even hired some thugs and bandits to help with the robbery, and they gave them a commission after the robbery was completed.

Their superiors have told them that they will evacuate the county tonight. Seeing that the enemy is about to attack, how can they not take advantage of this opportunity to make money?

Do you want to keep this money with the enemy?

I heard that the Qifeng Empire has an army of more than 200,000 people. How can a small county town stop them?
