Qi Xiu stroked his beard and smiled bitterly: "Yes, Xiu has made arrangements for the people of Xindao and led the people who are willing to leave to retreat from Xindao to Anshan. Now hundreds of people from Xindao are outside the camp. Please invite Liu Sima Duoduo.

Help and resettle these people."

Liu Yin admired Qi Xiu's decisiveness very much, but he didn't expect him to act so quickly. To be honest, as the county magistrate, he went to Xindao to take office just to represent the attitude of the county, and he did not really ask him to fulfill his responsibility of guarding the land.

Besides, how could he withstand tens of thousands of enemy troops with his one or two hundred county soldiers and dilapidated city?

Yang Qing had also anticipated this. Before Qi Xiu took office, he told him clearly that if a large number of enemy troops attacked, they would evacuate Xindao, in order to preserve their effective forces.

Therefore, Qi Xiu acted like this. No one should criticize him harshly. Instead, they should praise him for his decisiveness. Liu Yin also agreed with this. When he saw him asking for help, he immediately expressed his duty to do so.

"Oh, the rice will be harvested soon. It's a shame that Gaoding wants to use weapons and weapons. He is really unworthy of a man." Liu Yin couldn't help but sigh when he thought that the war would break out again and the rice in the fields might not be safe.

Qi Xiu also sighed and said bitterly: "This guy Gaoding must have done this on purpose. He chose to start the war at this time because he didn't want us to harvest the rice smoothly."

Liu Yin also had a guess about this. He clenched his fists and cursed: "It must be like this. It's really vicious. Yin Ding can't let him get his wish easily."

After saying that, he stood up and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Come here, order all the commanders of Qu Changtun, except those on duty, to come to my tent quickly." Then he cupped his hands to Qi Xiu and said, "Qi Mingting, please come here with us.

I’ll wait for the discussion.”

Qi Xiu stood up and returned the courtesy and said, "This is how it should be."

In the Anshang County Temple, Yang Qing stared expressionlessly at the urgent document sent by Xindao County Magistrate Qi Xiu. He read the document once, then picked up another document on the desk and read it.

This is an urgent letter sent by Wu Que. The letter states that the Soyi King Gaoding's pro-union army of more than 10,000 people is preparing to attack Anshang again. At this moment, it has passed Beishui County and is invading Xindao.

Both documents were about the same thing. Speaking of which, Wu Que's urgent letter arrived earlier than Qi Xiu's document. It seemed that Wu Que's men were more meticulous in delivering the news quickly.

Gaoding's new army is not traceless, it can even be said to be somewhat fanfare. A few days ago, there were signs of mobilization and assembly of various rebel forces. Therefore, Yang Qing sent Wu Que out early and asked him to go to Beishui in person.

Qiongdu's front-line commanders made careful inquiries to find out the news.

Since the defeat of the previous battle, Gaoding quickly learned from another detailed operation line in Anshang City that the biggest reason for the defeat was that Huo Jian, the internal agent, had long been exposed, and Li Qiucheng's plan had been discovered by Yang Qing, so the army was attacked by Yang Qing.

The general followed his plan, but instead he fell into an ambush by the Han army and was completely annihilated.

With such lessons, Gaoding paid great attention to the internal response from then on. Now that the Huo family's line had been exposed, he made up his mind to avoid extraneous problems. The next time he raised troops, he would not start from the internal response. At the same time, he also

Strictly investigate spies in Beishui, Qiongdu and other places.

Therefore, Wu Que's agents really didn't get any important news a few days ago, and Haoding's large-scale gathering of troops about ten days ago didn't require the agents to conduct in-depth investigations into the movements of the barbarians.

Gaoding blatantly mobilized troops and generals, and assembled a large number of military supplies and equipment. It was clear that he wanted to raise troops to attack Anshang and take revenge.

Therefore, Yang Qing had learned a few days ago that Gaoding had the intention of raising troops to attack again, but he did not know when the thieves would attack.

The autumn harvest was approaching, and Yang Qing secretly prayed that the preparation time for haute couture gatherings would be longer. However, God failed, and this guy still came on the eve of the autumn harvest.

Closing his eyes and thinking about how to deal with it, Yang Qing became thoughtful. After a while, he opened his eyes and said loudly: "Here comes." The clerk outside the door opened the door and walked in, bowed and said: "Master Fu."

"Invite the civil and military officials of the counties and counties in the city to come to the lobby to discuss matters."

"promise."

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the emergency document just sent by Qi Xiu, the magistrate of Xindao County. Gao Ding personally led more than ten thousand troops to invade." After nodding, Yang Qing handed the emergency document to Qi Xiu.

He learned about Yang's opera and asked him to pass it on for everyone to see.

After hearing Yang Qing's report, everyone in the hall was surprised and immediately started making noises, whispering to each other in twos and threes, trying to get information from each other.

Seeing the commotion in the hall, before Yang Qing, the eunuch, could speak, Wang Yi, who was on the lower right, couldn't help but reprimanded loudly: "In the hall where the meeting is taking place, how can you behave like this when you are making so much noise?"

Everyone felt a little rude after hearing this, so they quickly kept silent and straightened their posture. Wang Yi nodded slightly when he saw this, and handed over the document in his hand.

He had finished reading, and immediately raised his hands and said: "Master Fu, Gaoding's troops are not only large in number and powerful, but also led by him. I think the thieves here have a big motive. I'm afraid they want to capture Anshang in one fell swoop."

, completely driving the power of the government out of Yuexi."

Yang Qing snorted and said, "What Wang Gongcao said is reasonable. I also think that Gaoding sent troops this time for this purpose."

"Master Fu, this beast is very vicious. He took advantage of the opportunity to send troops, but he just doesn't want us to wait for the autumn harvest to be successfully completed." Lu Shen said with a hint of anger.

As the magistrate of Anshang County, he was the official directly responsible for the autumn harvest. Seeing that the autumn harvest was about to begin, he didn't want the barbarian soldiers to start their weapons again. At this moment, he really hated Gaoding to death and had cursed the barbarian king dozens of times in his heart.

"That's right, this guy is sending troops now with the intention of destroying farming." Yang Qing said.

Those among the crowd who had not yet come to their senses came to their senses after listening to the conversation between Lu Shen and Yang Qing.

In order to complete the autumn harvest, everyone present has contributed a lot. Seeing that the harvest is about to be completed, they jump out of the haute couture, which is really annoying.

Everyone was extremely angry when they thought of this. Some people couldn't hold it back and couldn't help but curse.

Following the scolding, Yang Xi looked across at Lei Xiong and Dong Xuan. When they saw this, they quickly fell silent. Then they caught a glimpse of Zhang Yi's dissatisfied eyes. Both of them scratched the back of their heads in a mocking manner.

When everyone was quiet, Yang Xi said: "Master Fu, according to the report from Qi County Magistrate, Gaoding has passed Beishui. It seems that his leading troops will reach Anshang in five or six days at the earliest. We will take advantage of this gap."

Be prepared."

Yang Qing nodded and said: "What Wen Ran said is very consistent with what I want. Youdao is that one person can plan for the advantage, and two people can plan for the shortcoming. The purpose of gathering you here is to discuss how we should deal with it?"

A large number of barbarian soldiers attacked, and the chief of the response was military affairs. When he saw the prefect and asked him, Zhang Ni, the military commander of the county, naturally had to respond at this moment.

"Master Fu, the last time Gaoding suffered a huge defeat, there will definitely be another attack from the army. In fact, I have already expected this. The reason why Liu Sima was sent was precisely to prevent the rebels from attacking."

Zhang Yi paused for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "Therefore, Yi believes that there are two urgent tasks. One is to send reinforcements to the front line of Dingxiang to assist Liu Sima in reinforcing the fortress and building a defense line. The other is to quickly send people to the Guli tribe to inform the Guli tribe.

Chief Lichi, please ask him to bring another large army to support us. In this way, I can defend with six or seven thousand men and horses across the border, ensuring that we are not lost."

Everyone heard what they said was reasonable. Since the last great victory of the army, many people present had a certain degree of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army. According to what Zhang Yi said, this time it was based on defense, so with six or seven thousand troops, he relied on the favorable location of the camp.

Defensive enough.
