Don’t Be a Scumbag

Chapter 30: Brainless Second Ancestor

◎The scumbag who married a female general who "doesn't obey women's morals" (30)◎

This was only after Pei Ming blocked the transfer letter from the capital, the Northwest Army could arrive at noon tomorrow. If Pei Ming hadn't stopped the letter, everything would have developed according to the original plot. At this time, the Northwest Army was already on its way back to Beijing.

This means that the Northwest Army can't reach now.

The barbarians will soon arrive at Qizhou City. What if the Northwest Army cannot come? Thinking of this, the people all frowned.

Hearing that the barbarians were coming, Master Zhao and the others were too frightened to hear the news.

"My lord, my lord heard that the enemy is coming, do we" should we flee?

When Master Zhao saw Pei Ming for the first time, he wanted to ask if he wanted to escape together. The people didn't know, but they knew very well. The barbarians were raiding. They didn't have many soldiers in Qizhou City, so they couldn't beat the fierce barbarians. Run away and save your life.

Master Zhao originally planned to say this, but when he saw the people around Master Pei, he quickly stopped.

No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't let the common man slip his tongue. When the enemy attacked, it was a big sin for officials to flee first. After Master Zhao stopped, he immediately remembered Pei Ming's upright image. Master Zhao was so anxious that he patted his head, how could he forget that even if the barbarians came, Master Pei would not leave.

In the past two years, Mr. Zhao has been trapped by Pei Ming, and he always subconsciously regarded Pei Ming as the eldest group. So when he panicked just now, he wanted to ask Pei Ming if he wanted to escape together. Now, thinking of Pei Ming's image, Mr. Zhao Immediately silenced.

He gritted his teeth and regretted it in his heart. Why didn't he run away by himself when he learned that the barbarians were coming, and he had to come to the prefect's house, didn't he owe it?

When Master Zhao arrived, so did the squad of corrupt officials.

They were also frightened for a while, and when they heard that Master Zhao ran to the prefect, they followed Master Zhao to this direction.

Seeing Master Zhao's annoyed face, these people reacted immediately. What are they doing here? They should pack up at home.

The barbarians are coming soon. Qizhou City doesn't have many troops, so they can't beat the barbarians who come prepared. What are they doing if they don't clean up at this time, and what are they doing in the prefect's house?

Everyone is here, and it is impossible to come and leave as soon as they say it. Besides, they also wanted to know what Pei Ming thought, so they suggested Pei Ming to escape with the people. They are guilty of escaping by themselves, so there should be no problem in escaping with the people, right?

Pei Ming didn't expect this group of officials to come. He looked at them and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Sir, why don't we escape?" As soon as the official finished speaking, he felt that some people were looking at him, and he immediately added: "Let's escape with the people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people turned their eyes away, but everyone was still frowning and worried. For them, the method of escaping together was simply not an option. What should they do if they escape the house, what should they do with the food, and where can they escape? They are still called the common people here. After they escape, they can only be regarded as refugees. Besides, if there are old people in the family, how can they escape?

Pei Ming naturally knew that the people would not escape at all, and there was simply not enough time left for everyone to escape. He looked at the people around him, and then said: "Don't worry, although there are not many regular troops in Qizhou City, we Qizhou people are not vegetarians, we have all been trained, and it will not be a problem to persist until noon tomorrow. "

After Pei Ming finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They were all thinking about what Lord Prefect said just now. Lord Prefect said that they had been trained and would have no problem with sticking to it until noon tomorrow. It is true that they have trained, but even if they are trained, they are simple training. Can they compare with the regular army? And they don't have weapons either.

Seemingly in response to their thoughts, they saw people carrying carts after carts of things before they arrived. The first thing they saw were slings and kerosene, and the other two were two-horse carts of bows and arrows. The number of bows and arrows is not much, but the amount of catapults and kerosene is not too small.

Mainly, bows and arrows are weapons. Usually, there are a few vehicles in the prefecture for self-defense.

Therefore, the number of bows and arrows is not large, but there are many weapons such as slings for defending the city. After all, no one would rebel with a defensive weapon.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw these weapons.

They learned how to use a sling when they were training. Bows and arrows need practice, but slings are much easier to learn.

Thinking of this, everyone is not nervous at first. They have so many weapons to defend the city, should they survive until noon tomorrow?

Some people couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you going to take us to fight the barbarians?"

Even if there are weapons, but no one leads everyone in a mess.

The speaker was a veteran who retired from Yuecheng. He had a broken foot so he retired.

He thought he would live a peaceful life in Qizhou City, but he didn't expect that the barbarians would suddenly attack. At first, he thought that Qizhou would be over. Who knew that the prefect was already prepared.

To be honest, when Pei Ming asked him to train the people at first, he didn't think it was necessary, but who would have thought that the barbarians would come.

Now not only one person thinks that Pei Ming has the name of foresight, the people of Qizhou City all think that Pei Ming has foresight, they can't help thinking, if the prefect orders them to defend, maybe they can really survive until tomorrow noon.

"No, I won't lead the army."

Pei Ming shook his head and said.

In fact, it was very easy for him to learn, but Pei Ming didn't plan to learn it and left this opportunity to Xiao Li. Xiao Li needed this opportunity to prove himself, and he also needed this opportunity to convince Baiguan to accept a woman as an official.

"what?"

Everyone didn't expect the prefect to directly say that he would not lead the army. The prefect is a civil official, and it is normal that he does not lead the army.

But when he said it directly, everyone started to panic again. If Pei Ming lied to them and said that he was going to drive away the barbarians with the people, they would definitely "believe" and obey Pei Ming's instructions, but Pei Ming said no. Yes, the courage they had just mustered was gone.

what to do? The prefect will not lead the army. They are just ordinary people, not soldiers. Can they last until noon tomorrow? Do these weapons really work? Although they can use it, they don't know when to use it. Maybe they use it when they see the enemy. What if they run out of kerosene and stones?

Several officials were also a little flustered. Pei Ming's words, their hearts that had just calmed down a little, were not calm again.

Master Zhao couldn't help but say: "Then you don't bring the people to guard the city, who will?"

It can't be him. The biggest official in Qizhou City is now apart from Pei Ming, but he can't lead troops either.

Master Zhao was very nervous in his heart. He felt that he might not be able to take up this important task. He looked at a few colleagues, and the rest immediately looked aside as if they were invisible.

Lord Zhao snorted in his heart, and then racked his brains to figure out how to convince Lord Prefect, let Lord Prefect go on his own, and don't put your attention down on him.

Before Mr. Zhao could speak, someone stepped forward and said, "Sir, what will we do if you don't take us against the barbarians?"

"Little General Xiao will come." Pei Ming said.

After Pei Ming finished speaking, everyone present took a deep breath. They heard it right, Xiao Li, the general Xiao Li, will take them to defend against the barbarians.

These people have not received Pei Ming's wife is Xiao Li's business, so they are directly shocked by Pei Ming's words.

Is it the General Xiao they thought? Isn't General Xiao married? Someone asked if General Pei Ming Xiao was not married in the capital? They were full of doubts in their hearts, but they were afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty, so they did not dare to ask, and planned to have people come to see it later.

Xiao Li came right away when she received the news from Pei Ming. When she arrived, the strong men in Qizhou City were almost assembled.

Because she is usually well-trained, when she came, everyone was already in the open space in front of the city wall.

Xiao Li also followed a group of girls. The girls all had their backs straight, and they all looked well-trained when they walked.

Everyone was directly attracted by these girls.

Xiao Li stood in front of everyone and said, "I'm Xiao Li, the former leader of the Northwest Army..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately turned their attention to Xiao Li again. Pei Ming stood behind Xiao Li and found that Xiao Li was full of energy at this time.

Xiao Li spoke calmly, without the slightest trace of being anxious because the barbarians were about to call. It was precisely because of her calmness that the people were virtually appeased.

"She is still suitable for the battlefield" Pei Ming thought to himself when he looked at Xiao Li's back.

The positions of the slings could not be arbitrarily placed, and the stones could not be placed arbitrarily. The kerosene should be used with bows and arrows. Apart from a few hunters, only the twenty or so girls taught by Xiao Li could shoot arrows.

Xiao Li told them to line up a few meters apart, and explained in their ears how the kerosene and arrow should work together.

Several girls nodded to show that they understood.

In order to prevent the barbarians from climbing the wall, Xiao Li found a few who were agile during training, and asked them to stand on the city wall and be ready to fight against the barbarian soldiers who climbed the city wall.

They didn't have serious weapons, only the sword was gone, so they used agricultural tools, and Xiao Li alone issued a pickaxe. Although it looked funny from a distance, at this moment no one felt funny.

Because General Xiao said that Qizhou City is their home, they must cheer up, if Qizhou City falls, they will have no home.

Some people were very scared at first, thinking that training is one thing, and real guns are another. They are going to die, what will their families do? Most of these people are the pillars of the family. Without them, the whole family will collapse. Xiao Li took their thoughts into consideration and promised that if they died in battle, the imperial court would give their families an annual pension.

Considering that they are not soldiers and have not been on the battlefield, they may flinch when they see real swords and real guns. In order to make them go all out, Xiao Li talked about the consequences of Qizhou City being captured, which meant that he would break the boat and sink the boat.

The people rekindled their fighting spirit because of Xiao Li’s words. If they lost the imperial court’s pension, if they didn’t show up, Qizhou City would be destroyed. When they said they were themselves, even their family members would be killed by the barbarians.

Thinking of this, they all cheered up

"Yes, the barbarians cannot be allowed in."

"We're going to protect our home"

...

The barbarian people came after half an hour. This time they were attacking by surprise, in order to take Qizhou City in one fell swoop.

When they came, they wanted to quietly open the city gate and kill the soldiers at the city gate to enter the city, but they didn't expect that as soon as they climbed up the city wall, an arrow directly shot and killed the first person who set up the ladder.

"They found it! Go ahead and take Qizhou City!"

The barbarian generals found that Qizhou City was already prepared, and did not plan to make any sneak attacks, so he directly shouted for the barbarians to attack directly.

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes when he heard the barbarian people's words, then made a gesture, and shot several arrows in the air for a while.

Probably meant to seize Qizhou City in one fell swoop. The barbarians had about 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers this time, which doesn't sound like much, but for Qizhou City, which had no troops, it was enough to seize the city.

These people can't be beaten by arrows alone.

Although there were many slings, the supply of stones would not keep up with time. Xiao Li stood on the city wall and frowned at the soldiers below, thinking about how to deal with the barbarians.

Pei Ming didn't intervene in the whole process, just watched the supplies from behind. In addition to weapons, there was food. I don't know when this battle will be fought, so everyone's next meal should be prepared early.

Some officials were worried, and asked Pei Ming whether Little General Xiao could keep Qizhou City. Pei Ming said without hesitation: "General Xiao is naturally capable of defending Qizhou City."

Seeing that Pei Ming believed in Xiao Li so much, everyone felt a little relieved, and yes, General Xiao is so powerful, he will definitely drive away the barbarians.

Several people did not dare to go to the city gate to watch the battle, so they began to pretend to care about other things. Seeing that Pei Ming was preparing meals for the people at the city gate, they actively said that they wanted to watch the people in the back kitchen cook. Pei Ming had no time to care. They, put them all in the back kitchen.

It was Mr. Zhao's behavior that made Pei Ming a little impressed. He took the initiative to deliver meals to those who guarded the city gate. Pei Ming did not refuse, so he agreed.

When it was almost dawn, the barbarians retreated. Pei Ming took the officials to the gate of the city, and when several officials saw the sight in front of them, their legs went weak.

The city gate is fine, but the city gate is full of corpses. Some were even burnt, exuding a strange scorching smell.

Most of them are the corpses of barbarians, but the bodies of the people of Qizhou city can also be seen.

Qingya stood beside Xiao Li. This was the first time she shot someone with an arrow. Her hair was messy, but her eyes were full of determination. Although she was a little apprehensive at first, she gradually changed her mind.

Standing in front of her master, she straightened her back. She thought that she should not be afraid. This is her home. When the barbarians come, they should be beaten back. Not only Qingya's idea, but all the girls under Xiao Li's hands had this idea. They were proud and even happy because they defeated the barbarians.

Xiao Li had blood stains on her face, and she was not indifferent to the corpse beneath her. When Pei Ming saw the blood on her face, he wiped it off with a handkerchief.

"We won." Xiao Li said.

Pei Ming nodded: "Yes, we won."

Qizhou City did not fall as it did according to the plot, and Xiao Li was not trapped in the back house. Pei Ming curved the corners of his mouth with a smile.

Pei Ming didn't ask, but Xiao Li said the war herself. Although they had already prepared, they still had too few weapons, so she decided to take the initiative to attack. Only in this way could the barbarians retreat first.

Blind defense is indeed too expensive, and it may not be able to survive until noon, but active attack can definitely repel the barbarians.

After listening to Xiao Li's words, Pei Ming said, "The Northwest Army will arrive at noon."

Xiao Li nodded.

Pei Ming continued: "Who is the general of the Northwest Army now?"

Xiao Li didn't know why Pei Ming asked these questions, but she still answered seriously: "It's Li Jishan, my former lieutenant general."

"how is he?"

"People are not bad, but they are courageous and lacking." Xiao Li recalled and said. Li Jishan got the position of lieutenant general on his own merits. He fought bravely every time, but he didn't have a strategy. He would suffer losses if he didn't give advice when fighting. This is why Xiao Li has been worried about the Northwest Army since he left the Northwest Army.

The emperor intends to promote new people, so Li Jishan takes his place, but he did not think that Li Jishan is not suitable for commanding the army.

After elaborating on the plot, Pei Mingjue's noon is very likely to be the person Xiao Li said.

Xiao Li didn't know what Pei Ming meant. She looked at Pei Ming, and Pei Ming said, "I received news from the capital that the emperor has died, and the three princes are fighting for the throne. And I also stopped the prince to let him A letter from Li Jishan leading troops to Beijing."

Xiao Li was stunned when she heard Pei Ming's words, she raised her head and asked, "When the emperor died, there was no heir?"

When the emperor died, he really did not establish a prince, and he did not expect that he would not wake up after sleeping. It was not until the **** called him for breakfast the next day that he realized that he was cold.

"The three princes are all useless, which one are the ministers planning to enthrone?" Xiao Li asked again.

The first queen died early, the three princes were all concubines, and the mother's family was similar, so it was impossible to determine who was the next emperor for a while.

"It is said that everyone recommends the third prince."

The third prince is good at martial arts, with a simple mind and well-developed limbs. It is also easier to be manipulated. In addition to those who originally supported the third prince, some neutral people also supported the third prince's ascension to the throne.

Anyway, the three of them are almost the same, it is better to choose the one who is easy to play with. Pei Ming understands the mentality of these ministers. It's just that I don't know what the old lady thinks. Does he really think that the third prince is the candidate for the crown prince?

Xiao Li had some impressions of the third prince. Not only did the two have a quarrel before she and Pei Ming got married, but when Xiao Li was a general, the third prince went to the training ground in the capital, and was taught by Xiao Li for humiliating the soldiers.

Xiao Li is not optimistic about the third prince, how can he manage the country well if he is a ruler who treats the army lightly and the people lightly. She was frowning when she heard Pei Ming say: "I will let the Northwest Army follow your orders, and then I will take you back to Beijing. I am also of royal blood, and I can't think of that position."

They had been in the Northwest long enough, and it was time to go back to Beijing.
