Chapter 110
"Master, it's windy outside, be careful of catching cold"

The butler came quietly and said with distress that he is an old man in the governor's family. He followed He Yongan from the capital to Jingzhou to the desolate Jiaozhou. He was loyal and took care of the housework.

He Yongan looked at the gray-bearded old man and sighed. It has been ten years since he came to Jiaozhou in a blink of an eye. From the 60 households he just came to today's over one million, he has accumulated evil virtues for himself. It can be said that he has a clear conscience. up.

Originally, based on his merits, he could be transferred back to the capital to serve as a minister, and he might even join the cabinet. Unfortunately, the rebellion of the barbarian court ruined everything.

"It's okay, the world is in chaos, and being transferred back to the capital is also a trapped beast."

He Yongan didn't know how many times he has sighed recently, the world is unpredictable, and now he just hopes that he can safely leave his post and return to his hometown.

"Let the soldiers prepare, I will go to the granary to have a look"

Three days ago, food rations had been restricted in the city, and food for disaster relief in the city had already stopped. I heard that some people had starved to death. For now, we can only ensure the supply of military food as much as possible.

"Report, the barbarians outside the city attacked at night,"

A soldier sent the latest battle report, He Yongan didn't dare to neglect, and with the help of his servants, he put on his armor and went to the city. The barbarian court became more and more anxious after the siege for a long time, and the attack on the city has become more frequent recently.

Climbing up the city wall under the protection of the soldiers, I watched the barbarians attacking the city from a distance. The siege ladder was erected on the city wall. The barbarians outside the city were not afraid of death and climbed up. .

"General Lian, how is the situation now?"

Lianshan, the Sima of Jiaozhou, is in charge of mobilizing soldiers and horses in the whole prefecture. He is in charge of the war at this time.

"It's still at a stalemate. They haven't been kicked out by us after fighting so many times. This time, depending on the situation, they won't last long."

He didn't say anything else, and He Yong'an knew that both sides had reached their limit. Regardless of the siege of nearly [-] barbarians outside the city, the consumption of resources was immeasurable.

The barbarians were already short of supplies, and it would be difficult to retreat when the food and grass were exhausted, but the situation in the city was the same.

Siege battles are never that simple. It is normal to besieged for a year or so. Jiaozhou is a rare giant city. This situation was taken into consideration at the beginning of construction, in order to guard against barbarians.

"Report, the formation of the barbarians outside the city is in chaos, and there seems to be signs of the Howling Battalion"

"what"

He Yong'an and Lian Shan hurriedly looked into the distance. The rhythm of the barbarian siege had indeed become chaotic, and the camp in the rear was also in chaos. When the rear was chaotic, the offensive in the front naturally slowed down.

"It's not like Xiaoying, but more like an attack from the rear." Lian Shan was suspicious.

He Yong'an was also puzzled, if there were reinforcements, they would not come from that direction, the state city was built near the sea, the southeast direction was the sea, the sea was windy and the waves were high, how could there be reinforcements.

If it was Li Qing's army, they might also come from the north. What is the situation?
Soon, a cavalry came from the southeast, and the barbarians were attacked by the cavalry, and the formation was chaotic. Immediately behind the cavalry was an overwhelming number of infantry, rushing towards the central army like a tide.

"It's Li Qing's Pegasus Army"

Lian Shan's eyes lit up. When Li Qing occupied Nanhai County, he wanted to lead the army to fight against the rebellion. In the end, the governor's office did not raise enough food and grass to delay until now.

But Li Qing's strength has also been inquired clearly. He claims to be General Pingman, established the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit armies, and even formed the only cavalry and flying horse army in Jiaozhou. Judging from several battle reports, this cavalry has really been trained.

"Pass my order, kill out, revenge"

Lianshan drew out his sword and let out a roar. The defenders in the city, led by officers at all levels, opened the city and rushed out to meet them. The two armies attacked each other and soon joined together.

The barbarian army fell into chaos due to the sudden extra reinforcements, and finally couldn't hold on after being rushed by the defenders in the city. After nearly half a year of besieging the city, the tension completely collapsed and they fled in all directions.

"Kneel to avoid death"

The officers and soldiers began to shout about accepting surrender in barbarian language. This native language most touched their hearts. The barbarians completely collapsed and began to surrender on their knees.

"happy"

Lian Shan had never felt so happy. He completely released his suppressed emotions for nearly half a year, and began to lead his army to pursue the fleeing enemies. Watching the barbarians fleeing for their lives crying for their parents, the pursuit became even tighter.

"Quick, go to town"

When chasing the remnants of the enemy in Lianshan, Li Yuanlong led the army into the city, and quickly controlled important places such as the city wall, granary, and arsenal, and even the governor's mansion had heavy troops.

Li Qing started to enter the city right after him, the city defense had already taken over, and the officials inside knew that something was wrong when they saw that the army entering the city was not the Jiaozhou defenders, they had been tricked.

It's a pity that everything is too late, even if Lianshan enters the city now, it won't help. He Yongan leads the officials of Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion to welcome Li Qing in front of the Governor's Mansion.

A subordinate official brought a plate of loess and a plate of yellow books to Li Qing, representing the land and population of Jiaozhou. From now on, Jiaozhou will be officially handed over to Li Qing.

"Congratulations General Lee"

He Yong'an squeezed a smile and cupped his hands to express his congratulations, the officials in the city of Jiaozhou all looked gloomy, one emperor and one courtier, they don't know how Li Qing will treat them.

After receiving the loess and the yellow books and handing them to the soldiers, Li Qing was led by He Yongan to the governor's court, where he sat on the throne without hesitation, flipping through the official documents on the official case.

He Yong'an drank his tea in silence, and he also figured it out. No official is a light body. Given the current situation in the world, even if he doesn't retreat now, he will have to suffer a lot when he changes dynasties in the future. Why bother.

I hope Li Qing can let him return home safely.

Li Qing put down the official document and looked at everyone and said: "Master He understands righteousness and protects the people of Jiaozhou from the disaster of swords and soldiers." After looking at the changes in everyone's expressions, he continued: "Great talents, the original rank will not change for the time being. Wait for everyone to get along with each other for a long time. Promotion by natural selection."

"Thank you General"

All the subordinate officials finally took a reassurance, but they still had some doubts in their hearts. Since they were kept, how would the officials under Li Qing's team make arrangements.

Li Qing laughed secretly, how could he fail to see their intentions, there were only so many positions in Jiaozhou in the past, of course they couldn't be arranged, but it would be different to separate a Guangzhou.

He smiled and said: "I have something to announce in advance. I plan to separate the three counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, and Hepu and name them Guangzhou. Other places are still under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou."

The news was like a bomb exploding in the lobby, and most people showed excitement on their faces. After all, their positions were preserved after setting the two states, and there was even room for further progress.

"I wonder if the candidate for the governor of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou has been confirmed?" He Yongan asked curiously. He was really curious about how Li Qing would arrange the candidate for the governor.

"Prefect Sun Liang of Hepu can be the prefect of Guangzhou. As for the governor of Jiaozhou, Mr. He has to continue to support him for a while."

After seeing He Yongan, Li Qing suddenly changed his attention. He Yongan is a great banner in Jiaozhou. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't make full use of it?
