Yingchuan County, Xuchang City.

With the deep cool autumn wind, the loess rolled up on the earth, and rushed into Xuchang City with the whistling sound of the Hun cavalry in the field.

These cavalry of the Huns and Han Kingdom galloped around outside Xuchang City, constantly showing various looted women's clothes, accompanied by the jokes of various frontier dialects.

They tried to use this method to get the Jin army in Xuchang City to leave the city and fight them.

Looking at the colorful women's clothes hanging on the sharp tips of the spears one by one, you can occasionally see the faint bloodstains.

The Yingchuan Jin army on the top of Xuchang City were all gritting their teeth and holding the weapons in their hands tightly.

Everyone knows what it means to fall into the hands of the captain.

"General, the barbarians are so arrogant. If they cannot suppress their aura, how can they convince everyone's hearts!"

A Yingchuan scholar shouted loudly to Xun Song, the governor of Yuzhou, Dajinxing, next to him.

Now the Jin army in Xuchang City has received strict orders from the governor Xun Song. No matter how provoked the Xiongnu cavalry outside the city, no one is allowed to go out to fight.

If someone ignores military orders, no matter how they win or lose when they go out of the city, they will be dealt with by all military law.

"The Hulu were originally crazy, and let them be crazy at this time. When they can't grab food and drink, they will not be like this anymore!"

The governor Xun Song frowned, his eyes shot out of a cold gaze, and swept over the powerful Xuchang on the city.

When these powerful men heard this, they looked at each other, and they both knew that the governor Xun Song was firm.

In fact, these Xuchang powerful men said they wanted to go out of the city to fight, but they were not so brave.

Instead, they were concerned about the property that their family stayed outside the city.

After learning that the Huns were about to invade Yuzhou in a large-scale attack, Xun Song, the governor of Yuzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty, ordered people to implement measures to strengthen the walls and clear the fields outside the city.

No matter what kind of high-ranking family or small-sized family, they all brought all their food and property into the city.

Some of the docks that were remote and not conducive to watching each other were moved to the city by Xun Song and his people and things.

Because all this was in a hurry, many wealthy families and powerful families had piled up like mountains and there was no way to move them all away. They could only bury them on the spot or hide them in a hole.

Today, these barbarian cavalry have been here for a long time.

Many powerful men were thinking about the food and money hidden at home, and wanted to lend a chance to send people to secretly communicate with the Hulu.

It is not necessary to surrender the barbarians, but it is still possible to negotiate certain transactions with them.

What a shrewd person Xun Song is, he is very clear about the thoughts of these powerful people.

These powerful men are all concerned about money and have already done the work of trying to get a tiger with a skin.

Therefore, Xun Songcai ordered that no one would be allowed to leave the city, even if it was a war.

After Xun Song inspected the city defense, he hurried back to the mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, someone immediately came up to me.

"General, the people sent out to Xiangcheng for help are back!"

When Xun Song heard this news, he didn't even bother to eat.

"Bring it here!" Xun Song said nervously.

Soon, a slapped athlete was brought over.

"Meet the General!"

"Speak quickly, what did Du Zeng from Xiangcheng say?" Xun Song waved his hands repeatedly and asked the messenger to answer quickly.

The messenger said indignantly.

"Report to the general, Prefect Du said there is no soldier to send!"

"What!? No soldiers to send?"

Before Xun Song could speak, the clan brothers next to him all started to yell.

"Xiangcheng has never been attacked by the barbarians. Du Zeng has soldiers in his hands, so how could he have no soldiers to send!"

"Yes, our Yingchuan is so critical, but Du Zeng wants to save him when he sees death!"

These people immediately scolded Du Zeng, the prefect of Xiangcheng, as an ungrateful villain.

"cough!"

Xun Song coughed in dissatisfaction, stopping everyone's words.

"Let me ask you why Du Zeng said there is no soldier to send!"

"When the villain saw Prefect Du, he just told him that there was no soldier to send, and he also asked the villain to bring back a letter!" After the messenger said that, he took out a secret letter sealed with red paint from his arms.

Xun Song took the letter, opened it and read it in a hurry.

Almost ten lines at a glance, I finished reading this letter in less than a moment

After reading it, Xun Song's face became more and more serious, but he had no angry expression.

"Brother, what did Du Zeng say in the letter?" asked a son of Xun.

Xun Song didn't say anything immediately.

He waved his hand and took off a group of servants, leaving only the Xun family members behind.

At this time, Xun Song spoke.

"Du Zeng said in the letter that Wang Dun of Jingzhou had sent another person to Xiangcheng to replace him as the prefect of Xiangcheng!"

"Wang Dun sent someone to serve as the prefect of Xiangcheng?"

"Wang Dun is the governor of Jingzhou, how can he manage the affairs of Yuzhou!"

"Yes, even if the Wang family of Langya is powerful, they will not be able to control our Xun family in Yingchuan!"

All the children of Xun's family were extremely angry.

The Xun family in Yingchuan and the Wang family in Langya have always been close friends, but the action of Wang Dun, the governor of Jingzhou, was slapped in the face.

"Du Zeng was originally a rebellious party. After arriving in Xiangcheng County, he recruited many old subordinates and gathered many outlaws in Jingzhou to Xiangcheng. Among them, many of them were the ones that Wang Dun wanted, which caused such a disaster!"

Xun Song is quite familiar with Du Zeng’s situation.

"Since that's the case, Du Zeng must have left the troops to resist Wang Dun!"

After hearing this, everyone in the Xun family no longer complained so much about Du Zeng.

"This hateful Wang Dun was not willing to send troops to rescue the siege. Now that Yingchuan is surrounded by the Huhu, he still wants to be with Du Zeng. It is obvious that he is going to force us to death!" A Xun family child said angrily.

Before this, Xun Song had sent people to Jingzhou, hoping to ask Wang Dun of Jingzhou to lead his troops north when the Huguan invaded, so as to respond to the rescue.

However, this request was flatly rejected by Wang Dun, the governor of Jingzhou.

As for the reason, it is just that Jingzhou is unstable and powerless.

"If Du Zeng in Xiangcheng cannot come to help, there will be no reinforcements." Another Xun family member said worriedly.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was depressed.

Although these Huns and Huns were unable to break through the big cities such as Xuchang, some of the docks and forts on the periphery fell one after another, either being captured or surrendered under pressure.

If this continues, when the barbarians plunder some manpower, they may send troops to attack the city.

Without reinforcements, the end of trapping the lonely city is a dead end.

"I just gave a memorial to the Emperor Jiankang before. The Emperor asked Wang Dun to send troops. Does he dare to refuse?"

A young Xun family member said.

His words immediately attracted everyone to shake their heads.

"The emperor of Jiankang cannot even manage Jiankang City, how can he manage Wang Dun1 of Jingzhou?"

"I'm afraid the emperor can control people, and only we poor people who have no food or salary!"

The Xun family complained again.

Xun Song also shook his head.

"After all, Jiangdong is thousands of miles apart. Even if the emperor speaks well, this time just on the road will probably be delayed."

When the young Xun family was very confused when they heard Xun Song like this.

"So, since that's the case, why did your brother write that letter of help?"

"And, I wrote it a few more letters!"

Everyone knew that Xun Song not only wrote letters to Emperor Sima Rui for help, but even the Crown Prince Sima Shao in Huainan and Wang Dao, the Secretary of the Shangshu, wrote the same letters.

"These letters are both letters of help and farewell!"

Xun Song said in a low tone.

"A farewell word?" The young Xun family's son was immediately shocked.

"Only Wang Dun can help to help save the enemy in Yingchuan!"

"But Wang Dun doesn't want to do it first, and I don't want to do it, so I can only make all this public first!"
