"Where did the bandits come from? Dare you attack Youzhou City? Are you tired of living?"

Li Feng doubted his life as he walked. Youzhou was the northernmost city used by Daqian to resist foreigners, and the city walls were extremely tall and strong.

Bandits dare to attack such a high city? Has the old man eaten arsenic enough to survive?

When Li Feng led a group of people to the west city gate, he saw a hundred bandits sitting in the open space not far outside the city to rest, squatting or sitting, and some even covered their faces with straw hats and slept leisurely. Like a farmer resting in his own field.

The soldiers guarding the city huddled in the wall and shivered.

Li Feng was furious: "As a Daqian soldier, you are so afraid of bandits, how can you fight?"

"Your Majesty, there is half a cloud outside!"

"What half cloud?"

Zhang Shoulin explained: "There are countless bandits, big and small, in Youzhou. There are three strongest ones, Banbian Yun from Erlong Mountain, Living King of Hell from Qingfeng Mountain, and Ground Dragon from Taohua Mountain. Although Ban Bian Yun has more people than the other two There are few, but they are the strongest, and all of them are brave and good at fighting."

After Zhang Shoulin said this, the soldiers became even more frightened.

Li Feng sneered and said: "No matter how powerful a bandit is, he is still a bandit and is destined to be wiped out."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a hissing sound, and an arrow shot up from below, and with a thud, it was inserted into the city gate tower, and it penetrated the wood an inch deep.

Li Feng took a breath of cold air. The open space outside the city was three or four hundred meters away from here. Is this still a human being?

"My lord, be careful."

Zhang Shoulin jumped in front of Li Feng, but Li Feng pushed him away: "Your body can't block that arrow. Who shot the arrow just now?"

"It's Dong Chao, the third master of Erlong Mountain."

"A man is as his name suggests. What does he want to do?"

Zhang Shoulin stuck his head out and shouted: "Dong Chao, why did you come to my Youzhou City instead of robbing the road at Erlong Mountain?"

Dong Chao also shouted loudly: "Sir, in the year of great disaster, we bandits have no business and cannot afford to eat. We come to Youzhou City to order food. I hope you have pity on us."

Zhang Shoulin scolded: "I have pity on you uncle, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise today next year will be your memorial day!"

Dong Chao was not angry either. He mounted his horse and said, "Since you are unwilling to give alms, don't blame us for being tough."

Having said that, Dong Chao wandered away with his men, his attitude extremely arrogant.

Hundreds of bandits walked around outside Youzhou City, leisurely and unscrupulously, which made Li Feng extremely angry.

His majestic prince was actually taken advantage of by a group of bandits? This is unbearable.

"How many fighting troops are there in the city?"

Zhang Shoulin looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Youzhou is in dire straits and cannot support its soldiers, so there is only a thousand-man troop in the city under the command of the governor."

"Are you kidding? Youzhou is the northern barrier of Daqian, with only a thousand soldiers and horses?"

"The guarding troops are concentrated in the military towns at the front, and the supply is directly handled by the southern provinces."

Only then did Li Feng realize that the border city of Youzhou was just a big granary.

"Where is Huang Xian? The bandits are attacking the city, why doesn't he come out?"

Speaking of Huang Xian, Huang Xian ran up to him. Don't look too late. He looked very beautiful in a dark silver military uniform.

"Your Majesty, I am wearing armor. Please forgive me for not being able to salute."

Li Feng sneered: "Master Huang came in time."

"The armor is heavy and it takes some time to put it on."

Huang Xian's excuse was perfect. He was dressed in armor and looked like he was going to fight on the battlefield. Even Li Feng couldn't say anything.

Huang Xianman thought that this way, Li Feng would not care about him, but he ignored one thing. His armor weighed thirty or forty kilograms.

Even though he was a soldier who had been trained for many years, he could not last long as a pampered magistrate.

Li Feng laughed, changed the subject and asked: "There are bandits everywhere in Youzhou. Does Mr. Huang know about this?"

Huang Xian immediately complained: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to eliminate the banditry, but there are only hundreds of old and weak people in Youzhou, and you can barely resist with the height of Youzhou city. If you go out to suppress the bandits, you will definitely be taken over by the bandits. You are really powerless."

ah."

This is the truth, and Li Feng can't say anything.

"Dong Chao, who was just half clouded, came to fight against the autumn wind. Does Mr. Huang have any countermeasures?"

Hearing Ban Bian Yun's name, Huang Xian trembled and hesitated in his words: "This... I think that in the year of great disaster, the bandits would have no food to eat, so they came to Youzhou to rob in desperation. It's better to

Give them some food, don't start a useless war, and strive for peace."

Li Feng was laughed at by Huang Xianqi. Is this the magistrate of Youzhou who advocates military affairs?

Li Feng hadn't figured out how to take down Huang Xian before, so here's the reason.

"Come here, take down Zhizhou Huang Xian for me!"

"yes."

Two guards came forward and held Huang Xian down. Huang Xian was shocked: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

Li Feng sneered and said: "We are facing a powerful enemy. As the magistrate of the state, you can't find any way to repel the enemy, but you actually want to appease the bandits?"

"His Majesty appoints you as the magistrate of the state to protect the people, not to submit to the bandits. You are not worthy of sitting in the position of the magistrate of the state. I will put you in prison and wait for the king to defeat the bandits before I deal with it."

"Oh, since Mr. Huang likes armor so much, don't let him take off this armor and let him wear it."

"Your Majesty, I am the magistrate of Youzhou under the title of Your Majesty. You have no right to remove me. I want to report to Your Majesty! I will report to Your Majesty!"

Huang Xian wailed and was dragged down by the guards and thrown into prison.

"Zhang Shoulin, take my token and go to the military camp to mobilize the thousand defenders. I don't believe that a mere group of bandits can break through Youzhou City?"

Zhang Shoulin left with the token, and Liu Ji looked worried: "Your Majesty, the strength of the bandits in Youzhou cannot be underestimated. A thousand soldiers may not be able to handle them. Huang Xian's suggestion is not impossible to consider."

Li Feng looked at Liu Ji coldly, and Liu Ji immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"My lord, it's not that I raise others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige. The strength of Half Cloud cannot be underestimated. There are a thousand old and weak people in Youzhou City who cannot defeat them."

"I just wanted to ask why you didn't ask the border envoy from Anxi Town for help."

"Your Majesty, only Your Majesty can mobilize the troops around the town. You have no right to mobilize them. If we report them to the capital, it will take too long to come and go."

So that's what happened, Li Feng nodded.

Not long after, Zhang Shoulin came back with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, a thousand soldiers have been brought to the city. Please take a look."

"What's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten a fly."

"Your Majesty, go down and see for yourself."

Li Feng went down to the tower and took a look, and couldn't help but rub his eyes: "Are these the soldiers of Youzhou City?"

Zhang Shoulin nodded reluctantly.

It was said that there were a thousand soldiers, but it was obvious that it was less than a thousand, and it was estimated that it was only more than 600. They were not energetic when standing, and they were flabby. They were all older. Li Feng also saw several people with gray hair.

old man.

Seeing the so-called thousand soldiers, Li Feng laughed angrily.

"What does Huang Xian do for a living? Is this the military or a nursing home?"

Neither Liu Ji nor Zhang Shoulin dared to reply.
