"Sir, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu army of 150,000 have already moved south!"

What Qin Zu said just now made Yang Xian stare blankly as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

How can it be!

How could the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu send an army of 150,000 people southward?

Doubts kept repeating in my mind.

However, when looking at the Qin soldiers in front of him, Yang Xian had to believe that the captain and Qin soldiers at Yinshan Pass would never dare to joke about this matter.

When it comes to the Xiongnu and Yuezhi, there are a full 150,000 horses! This is enough to plunder the entire Shangjun.

Think of this.

"Go and invite General Hu quickly! Go and invite General Hu!"

Yang Xian came to his senses and stood up in a hurry. However, whether it was due to the trembling of his body or his old age, when he stood up for the first time, Yang Xian slumped down and then used his hands and feet to stand up.

"Go and invite General Hu!"

Regardless of wearing shoes, Yang Xian trotted in a hurry and shouted in a panic.

Yang Xian, who had always felt that the main hall was too small before, felt for the first time that the main hall was so big that he couldn't reach the door even if he had to run so many steps.

Outside the main hall.

The servants of the mansion outside the door heard Yang Xian's shouting and entered the house.

"grown ups!"

Just as the servant's words started to sound, Yang Xian was seen shouting anxiously.

"Go and invite General Hu Jin, quickly!"

This was the first time that the servants saw Yang Xian, the steady governor of the county, so panicked, as if roaring, and nodded quickly.

Outside the door.

Yang Xian looked at the back of his servant running towards the outside of the mansion after taking orders, and then looked at the empty courtyard in front of him.

At this time, the young man standing in the yard suddenly appeared in Yang Xian's mind.

At first, the young man wrote a letter and then rushed to Yuzhong City in person to inform him that the Xiongnu and Yuezhi were likely to lead an army south to raid Gaonu.

As a result, he left the boy hanging in the yard for more than two hours, and even mocked the boy's life for how much it was worth.

"It's over!"

Yang Xian closed his eyes in shame, feeling regretful in his heart. When he opened them again, his eyes no longer had the same sparkle as before, making him feel a little older.

The Yuezhi army of 150,000 Xiongnu went south to raid Shangjun.

When I think about how Shangjun is in danger now, when I think about what other officials will think of him if they know about it in the future, how will the king see him if he knows, and how will all the people of Shangjun think of him.

Thoughts came to mind one by one, imagining the ridicule, accusations, and even the curses from future generations that I would face in the future, and the disappointment of the king.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!!"

Along with the old Yang Xian, he was on the verge of collapse, feeling dizzy and out of breath, and the exclamations of servants kept ringing in his ears.

Before he fell into coma, a thought flashed through Yang Xian's mind.

Now the future is at stake and the reputation is at stake!

"grown ups!"

"Hurry and help the master to rest! Hurry and call the doctor."

In the mansion, amidst screams of surprise, a servant carried the old Yang Xian to the bedroom.

Half an hour later.

Inside the governor's mansion.

Hu Jin and Li Pingyan stood in the main hall. Under the main hall stood the Yuzhong City Guards, seventeen school captains, five captains, and other officials in Yuzhong City.

"General Hu, right now in Yuzhong City, both inside and outside the city are Yuzhong. There are countless people in the Kao and Nu areas. We must make a decision to protect Yuzhong. We must not let the Xiongnu and Yuezhi plunder the people!"

After Li Pingyan read the bamboo slips, she said to Hu Jin.

At this moment, Li Pingyan's face was also full of uneasiness. The 150,000 Xiongnu and Yuezhi troops were in danger, not to mention a county, or a whole country.

Li Pingyan looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and thought that Bai Yan, the governor of Gaonu City, had said before his eyes that the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi would go south. He thought that all the previous letters were still in the palace. At this moment, not to mention Yang Xian, even he, Li Pingyan, regretted it.

Incomparable.

It would have been better if I had believed in that young man.

"Li Pingyan is ashamed!"

After Li Pingyan put away the bamboo slips, she shook her head and sighed.

However, Li Pingyan also understands that no matter how regretful he is, nothing he can say at the moment will help.

The most fortunate thing at the moment is that in the past, after Bai Yan returned to Gaonu, he privately ordered the migration of Gaonu people to Yuzhong regardless of the consequences, and led an army of cavalry to stay in Gaonu to fight to the death.

If not.

Li Pingyan couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be when he saw this bamboo slip.

"General, I believe that the number of Xiongnu and Yuezhi and our soldiers clinging to the pass are simply unstoppable. Now that we are asking for help, the top priority is to migrate all the people and continue southward."

A captain wearing Qin armor and a Qin sword came forward, raised his hands to Hu Jin and said.

The voice fell.

Another captain stepped forward.

"General, I believe that General Qiu Ke's words are correct. At present, the number of soldiers in our county is only over 30,000. If the Xiongnu gather to attack one or two passes and defend them, there will be no obstruction. However, once the Xiongnu Yueshi divide their troops, our army will not be able to resist."

In the main hall.

The words of the two captains were agreed by many other captains.

However, there are also those who oppose it.

"General, after Gao Nu's cavalry army has resisted the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu for two or three days, I am worried that it may be too late to evacuate. We should move all the people into the city, pass the news to other cities, and wait for help."

A captain in his thirties stood up and said.

These words made many captains fall into silence. It would not be difficult to mobilize the defenders from other passes to defend Yuzhong, and even holding for a month or two would be more than enough.

But the people in other parts of Shangjun did not have such a good ending, which is why all the captains remained silent.

"General, the Xiongnu and the Yueshi are all horrified by the nomadic tribes, and the number of war horses is immeasurable. I even think that the best strategy is to defend Yuzhong!"

A school captain stood up, raised his hands and said.

After the words fell, other captains also nodded.

Because everyone understands that the news coming from the Yinshan Pass has been informed that the news has been delayed for a long time.

Logically speaking, the armies of the Xiongnu and Yuezhi should have arrived long ago. The reason why Yuzhong City and even the Yinshan Pass are unobstructed right now is that they, the captains and captains, all know that it must be Gao Nu's cavalry who are resisting the bloody battle.

The Huns' army.

An army of more than 10,000 cavalry resisted the Xiongnu for two or three days, which already made them marvel at their bloody prowess.

Now that days have passed, no one can guarantee how long the cavalry army can resist.

What if in the next moment, or an hour later, news comes that the Xiongnu and Yuezhi troops have arrived at the Yinshan Pass? Then they will face the 150,000 troops of those nomadic tribes, not to mention that the people can't go far, it's them

There is no chance of withdrawing the Yuzhong defense.

In the main hall.

Hu Jin listened to the words of his captains and captains, his forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Should we abandon the various passes and protect the people of Yuzhong and Gaonu, or should we take the risk of defending the passes and protect all the people from evacuating?

It's very quiet under the candlelight!

Not to mention Hu Jin, even Li Pingyan on the side had his Adam's apple twitching and did not dare to speak hastily. Any order at the moment is related to the life and death of countless people.

If something went wrong, he and Hu Jin would not be able to escape the blame even if they survived.

"pass"

Just when Hu Jin made up his mind and was about to give the order.

"grown ups!"

"My lord, wake up!"

Suddenly, exclamations from the maids and servants came from the main hall.

Hu Jin, Li Pingyan, and all the captains and captains turned to look, and then they saw Yang Xian, who had been lying in the main hall with a cloth on his forehead, and opened his eyes in a daze.

When Hu Jin and Li Pingyan saw this, they felt relieved. After all, one of them was a county lieutenant, responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of a county, and the other was a censor, observing the mistakes of Qin officials in a county.

Yang Xian, as the county governor, was the official responsible for the decision of whether the people should stay or go.

"Master Yang!"

Hu Jin and Li Pingyan looked at each other and stepped forward to see Yang Xian.

"General Hu, Master Li!"

Yang Xian murmured, and then slowly stood up with the help of his servants.
