Chapter 78 All People Are Soldiers
"Zhicai, do you think, isn't it a bit abnormal to be calm these days?" In Xiangping City, Xi Zhong and Cheng Yu were sitting opposite each other and drinking.
"Yes, I feel it's wrong, but I can't say where it's wrong!" Xi Zhong said.
"Zhicai, you said that if Kebi can instigate him in Liaodong this time, what would you say Kebi can do?" Cheng Yu said.
"Ke Bineng...Ke Bineng..." Xi Zhong said to himself, then was shocked, "I'm sorry! Zhongde!"
"What?" Cheng Yu said, "Zhicai, is there anything wrong with it?"
"Zhongde! Don't forget, where is Kebineng's territory!" Xi Zhong said, "No, the lord's 30,000 soldiers and horses cannot come back for a while. We only have 20,000 soldiers and horses. What if Kebineng can bring a large army to attack?"
"Raising troops..." Cheng Yu murmured, "That's right! If you raise troops to attack, there will be at least 50,000 people! Our 20,000 people can't defend at all! What should we do!"
The two of them fell into deep thought.
"By the way!" Xi Zhong slapped his thigh, "Why did I forget them!"
"Zhicai, is there any solution?" Cheng Yu said.
"Zhongde, have you forgotten that we in Liaodong received the same reward from His Majesty!" Xi Zhong said meaningfully.
"You mean the Yellow Turban people?" Cheng Yu suddenly realized.
"Yes, it's the Yellow Turban! That's the whole people's soldiers! Why did I forget such a huge force?" Xi Zhong said.
"But, will they defend the city for us?" Cheng Yu said.
"Don't worry about this problem. First of all, the lord did not kill them, nor did he treat them as slaves! Secondly, the lord gave them clothes, food, houses, and farms! They should all be grateful to the lord from the bottom of their hearts. If they knew the reason and moved them with emotion, then not to mention all, more than 60% of the people would participate in this Xiangping defense battle! In that case, we could probably have about 50,000 troops. At that time, although we can't say that we can definitely defend the city, it will greatly improve the guardian power of Xiangping City! Moreover, more importantly, we should send a message to the lord and let them return quickly!" Xi Zhong said.
"Okay, then I'll order someone to post the list now, Zhicai you..."
"No, no, Mr. Zhongde, this cannot be published. How many people among the Yellow Turban people can only read? Therefore, the effect of publishing a list is minimal, so we have to send people to each company to explain the situation!" Xi Zhong interrupted Cheng Yu and said.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused! I'll send someone to do it now!" Cheng Yu slapped his head.
"Well, I'll send someone to deliver a letter to my lord now!" Xi Zhong stood up and hurried out.
"I hope Xiangping can overcome this difficulty!" Cheng Yu sighed, and then walked out the door.
"...Blind dates! Now that Wuhuan and Xianbei invade the territory, our Xiangping City is in danger! Wuhuan and Xianbei are going to invade our hometown, can we agree?!! I beg everyone here to pick up your weapons and help Zhao Taishou guard Xiangping City..."
In Xiangping City, there were soldiers or civil servants saying the same words on the streets and alleys, and the people around them gathered more and more. After saying this, the people were excited and returned home one after another, picked up their weapons and came to the schoolyard.
"Zhicai, it seems that the effect is better than we expected!" Cheng Yu said on the school ground.
"Indeed, after all, this is an invasion of foreign races, and it is no better than others. It has a sense of national honor in it. The people still have a scale in their hearts on such major issues!" Xi Zhong said.
"Yes, if you continue at this speed, manpower should not be a problem. The main thing is to rely on the lord's rescue time and the combat effectiveness of these people!" Cheng Yu said.
"This is also my most worrying problem. If these people collapse with one blow, then we can't stop the Xianbei army no matter what we say!" Cheng Yu nodded.
...
"Miss Mother, don't refuse this time! When the Xianbei starts attacking the city, you can enter the secret room!" In the prefect's mansion, Xi Zhong was persuading Bian Xue again.
Bian Xue thought for a while, glanced at her belly, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go into the secret room this time!"
"Mr. Zhicai, would you please take me to the top of the city? I also want to participate in the defense of Xiangping City!" Zhou Yu said at this time.
"This..." Xi Zhong was a little embarrassed and looked at Bian Xue like a question.
"Let Gongjin go and see him. This will also be good for him. It will save him from studying hard, and become Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper!" Bian Xue thought about it and agreed to Zhou Yu's proposal.
"Okay, so you can follow me." Seeing that Bian Xue agreed, Xi Zhong nodded in agreement.
"Master's wife, you're the best!" Zhou Yu jumped three feet high happily.
"But, Gongjin, you have to remember that you have to listen to Mr. Zhicai and Mr. Zhongde when you go to the battlefield. Do you know?" Bian Xue reminded.
"I understand, Master's wife!" Zhou Yu nodded and then left happily with Xi Zhong.
"This kid." Bian Xue smiled, then gently touched her lower abdomen, looked up at the sky and didn't know what she was thinking.
...
"Report!" The scout who sent the investigation finally turned around, "Report to the military advisor, Xianbei Kebineng, Wuhuanqiu Liju, led 100,000 people to approach Xiangping, and now he has reached a hundred miles outside Xiangping City. It is expected to arrive in two days!"
"I understand, you go down." Xi Zhong waved his hand.
"How should we guard this city?" After the scout went out, Xi Zhong asked Cheng Yu.
"Mr. Zhicai, Mr. Zhongde, Yu thought that we should not just defend, that would be too passive, we should take the initiative! They have 100,000 soldiers and will not take our so-called 20,000 defenders seriously, so this sneak attack will surely be successful!" Zhou Yu said first.
"Huh?" Xi Zhong and Cheng Yu looked at each other and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. "Then you say, who will we send to this sneak attack? How many troops will we lead?"
"Of course, it is better to lead the remaining 1,000 cavalry in the city, and the Xianbei can attack at night just arrived. It is better not to kill many enemies. It is best to set fire to the enemy's food and grass." Zhou Yu said confidently.
"Okay! It's true that a famous teacher produces a high disciple! He has such insights at a young age! Good! Good!" Cheng Yu said three times in a row.
"Well, follow your plan and send the three generals to the battle!" Xi Zhong nodded, "Come on, come and invite the three generals!"
...
"Two gentlemen, what's the matter if I call me Lao Zhang?" Zhang Fei said carelessly when he entered the door.
"Three Generals, another mission, I wonder if you dare to go?" Cheng Yu said mysteriously.
"What's there to be afraid of? Apart from my elder brother, Lao Zhang hasn't been afraid of anyone else?" Zhang Fei said indignantly.
"Haha, the third general is so heroic. Zhicai and I know this! There is such a task now. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you are going to bring a thousand cavalry..." Xi Zhong whispered in Zhang Fei's ear.
"I understand, don't worry, gentlemen, so I'll leave it to me, Lao Zhang!" Zhang Fei said with his chest.
