Chapter 119 The thief attacks Hefei

At the end of July, summer grain will be returned to the warehouse.

The threshed straw is temporarily piled up in the fields to dry.

Straw is a good thing for farmers. Except for some of them, they will be used for compost and returned to the fields, the rest will be transported home for continued use.

It can be used as a matchmaking firewood, can be chopped and mixed bran, etc. for feed, can be used as a variety of building materials, can also be used as mattresses, etc., and has a wide range of uses.

Therefore, the farmers who completed the harvest did not stop working because the grain entered the warehouse. They continued to turn over the fields, ferment and process straw, and did not stop until the autumn planting ended for a period of rest.

At this time, the renovation of the chief clerk's house was completed, and Lu Su brought a group of officials to the Independence Office, waiting for the family in Dongcheng to reunite.

The morning of the second day when Lu Su moved, when he was sorting out documents with the officials in the hall, someone suddenly called Lu Zhuan, and an anxious voice came into the hospital from far and near.

Mother has arrived?

Lu Su was ecstatic and strode out to greet him.

What we were waiting for was not news about relatives, but foreign enemies invaded.

The thief commander Zheng Bao led thousands of people to the north, and now he is less than ten miles away from Hefei.

Long Xiang, who was inspecting the cement workshop, urgently summoned the generals of Hefei to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Su was shocked when he heard the news and thought that Hefei had not completely let go, and Zheng Bao came without any warning.

Before he could think too much, Lu Su pressed down on official duties and rushed to the Sima Mansion of the army.

When they arrived at the front hall of the Sima Mansion of the Army, Lu Su found that except Feng Zhong, the other generals had arrived.

"Come on Zijing, that guy Zheng Bao is indeed invading. Please dispatch the sir to retreat to the enemy."

Long Xiang pointed to the location beside him and signaled Lu Su to come to him to issue orders.

Lu Su corrected his clothes, walked to the front of the right side, bowed and said with confidence: "Hefei has been on guard, and Zheng Bao is unable to break the city. Since the general is in charge of the city, how can I cross the dispatch?"

"The enemy is in front of you, please don't give in. We should work together."

Long Xiang frowned and continued to signal, showing his attitude very sincerely.

"I must have helped with all my strength, but I have to rely on the general to give orders."

Lu Su was very persistent, and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Where is General Feng? His craftsman camp is of great use."

Long Xiang replied: "There are thousands of people working outside the city. They are reluctant to leave the grass dried in the fields and are trying their best to transport it to the city. I am worried that it will take time, so I asked Uncle Zhong to take the craftsman camp to help."

Lu Su was surprised and quickly advised: "I am not far from marching urgently for ten miles. How can I indulge the people to transport grain and grass? I have to take people back to the city as soon as possible and arrange city defense immediately."

"I'm also considering the people, it's not easy to grow food for a season."

Long Xiang smiled bitterly, then called Cao Xing to order: "Send someone out of the city to send an order, so that everyone can give up the valley grass and enter the city immediately."

"Vei." Cao Xing turned around and left with his fists.

Long Xiang had never experienced a battle to defend the city. With Lu Su as the Grand Governor in front of him, he naturally didn't want to take detours.

So he spread his hands and signaled Lu Su to continue.

"Then what?"

When Lu Su saw Long Xiang asking for advice, he turned to Tang Xu Ding's plan: "The two generals are always responsible for the city defense. If Zheng Bao sieges the city on all sides later, he will implement the original defense plan. If Zheng Bao only attacks one of them, you will be able to take a rest in the middle of the way. Then he will follow the orders of Long Sima's military, and now you can deploy as planned first."

"only."

Tang Xu and Xu Ding clasped his fists at the same time.

Lu Su finally instructed Xu Chu: "General Xu's athlete is the main force. You can go down and gather soldiers to stand by and act later on as soon as possible."

"only."

"Wait a minute."

Xu Chu turned around and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Long Xiang.

"Zijing, the last time we were in Chengde, we found that Yuan Shu's soldiers were as weak as chickens. It is estimated that Zheng Bao's command was also a mob. Isn't it a bit insignificant to use Zhongkang's tiger and wolf athletes to defend the city?"

Lu Su laughed and said, "Don't be anxious when the clouds rise. No matter whether Zheng Bao's people are chickens or dogs, we should first use the city to consume their strength. When the other party's morale is low, we will be able to achieve great success when we go out to fight."

"Okay, Zijing is more thoughtful, Zhongkang will gather and standby first."

"yes."

Before, he tried a stunning sword in Chengde, but Xu Chu's troops were not damaged at all.

Longxiang had never seen such a strong soldier, so after getting this powerful brigade, his heart was a little swelling for a while. Fortunately, he was awakened by Lu Su in time.

After Xu Chu left, Long Xiang asked Lu Su again: "Uncle Zhong has a large number of craftsmen camps. Where are you going to put them?"

Lu Su replied, "First use as a substitute to transport war materials, and then replace them one after another when the defenders on the city are damaged."

"What if the craftsman camp was also exhausted?"

"If you want to continue to defend, you can only recruit male men from the city to the city, but they have not been trained and the casualties should be very large, so they usually."

Lu Su did not continue halfway through the speech. Although there were nearly 20,000 people in Hefei at this time, it was just right to support more than 2,000 soldiers.

Blindly expanding the army can easily break the balance of income and expenditure. Lu Su has always encouraged Longxiang to recruit soldiers because the grain stored in the official warehouse of Hefei has been maintained at more than 100,000 hu of food for a long time, and it is a pity that it is not used to raise soldiers.

Longxiang's thinking is the same as the savings thinking in later generations. As the saying goes, you don't panic when you have food in your hands, and you need enough food to hedge risks.

He does not have the strong foundation as strong as Yuan Shu, nor does he support a genius like Cao Cao. Others can defeat repeatedly and make a comeback. Long Xiang will end the game as long as he loses once.

Seeing Lu Su's face full of solemnity, Long Xiang smiled and comforted: "I just assumed that, but the craftsman camp can be expanded in the future, and it is not enough to build more than a thousand people in Hefei."

"Yun Qi knew it, but Lu Su didn't advise him much. Zheng Bao would definitely go to the south gate later. General can go to the city tower first. I will handle the matters and come to meet."

"Since the deployment is completed, where does Zi Jing want to go?"

"Although the army has been dispatched, the food and materials for defending the city must be arranged in a continuous manner during wartime.

“Okay.”

All military workshops in Hefei have been established, but due to objective reasons such as few craftsmen, there are very few defensive objects such as arrows.

At this stage, we have to rely on Longxiong's idea, throwing bricks and stones as the main weapons.

It is not easy to make bricks in kilns, and Longxiong has lived a hard life. He knows how to save money, but he is reluctant to use finished bricks as a weapon.

The bricks transported to the city walls are all waste bricks, that is, half-piece bricks damaged during transportation, and waste materials for demolishing old houses.

Put on his clothes and armor and was about to leave the mansion, Long Xiang found Qiao Yiqiang holding Qiao Rui's sword and following behind him with a serious expression.

Long Xiang looked at it and persuaded earnestly: "It's okay for the young master to follow you normally, but now Hefei is going to fight. At that time, the Yashi will not have eyes, so it's safe to stay at home."

Practicing basic skills is boring. After listening to Chen's advice, Qiao Yi likes to follow Longxiang around, acting like a young man who cannot accomplish great things.

But there are exceptions. At this time, Xiaoqiao Yichang was not afraid at all when facing scaring.

"Yun Qi is so underestimating. I am the only man in the Qiao family. How can I hide in the boudoir by imitating my daughter's family? My father can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. What's the fear of little Yashi?"

Long Xiang nodded in admiration, thinking that it was the seed of General Qiao, and there was still some blood in his bones.

He didn't want to smite Qiao Yi's enthusiasm, so he nodded and agreed: "Young Master insisted on doing this, then take care of yourself. I won't take care of you later."

"Um."
