Governor's Mansion, lobby.

Fang Shishu brought Jiang Anyi to the middle of the middle and sat down. Everyone greeted him again and met with Jiang Anyi, the governor of Huazhou. Except for the new Sima Yao Changfeng who did not know him, most of them were acquaintances. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "I have done official articles. You don't have to stand, find a seat to sit."

Fang Shishu sat down on the chair on the left and said with a smile, "An Yi is in charge of Huazhou. There is no way to build a Jingli Mansion at present. I can only give in to you that you have used the governor's mansion for the time being. I will move to the Military Officer's Office to handle the work. An Yi, why are you alone entering the city? Where is the army in the court?"

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Mr. Fang and I are not polite. You don't need to go to the military officers' party. Just use the second hall directly. I will shelter Fang Gong from the wind and rain in front. As for my residence, I live in the mansion purchased by the Li family for me. Fang Lao will move. The 100,000 troops in the court have arrived. I will set them up in Huangyuan and Ziyun areas and let them stand by on standby. The more than 100,000 troops of the general who is in charge of the city are enough."

Fang Shishu explained the burden and said, "An Yi came to Huazhou. I feel that I can take off my heavy burden and take a breath and take a rest."

Seeing Fang Shishu's face was haggard, his eyes were red, and his fatigue was revealed, Jiang Anyi said, "Mr. Fang is burdened, and he will hold on for another two days. After Anyi is familiar with the situation, he will rest well. There is no need for Fang Gong to worry about military affairs, but he still needs to trouble Mr. Fang Gong if he needs to collect and provide relief to refugees."

After a few words, Jiang Anyi began to inquire about military information. Guan Pingzhong reported, "Mr. Jiang Yang lost to Wenjin County and was in charge of his life. Young Commander Yang Huaiwu was also a mortal enemy. It is a pity that our army lost more than 20 generals and officers above the seventh rank in the battle of Wenshi County. They were killed in battle and captured. There were more than 60,000 soldiers who were separated. At present, there were only 120,000 reinforcements sent by the Anxi Protectorate and the court in the city, and there were 15,000 troops stationed, 5,000 troops in the palace, 500,000 grain, about 25,000 cattle and sheep, and bows and arrows..."

Jiang Anyi silently listened to Guan Pingzhong's introduction of military affairs, lamenting in his heart that the general was inevitably killed in front of the battlefield. The filth between him and Yang Huaiwu disappeared with the death of the people. He wondered how sad Yang Huaizhong, who was in the Zhenbei Camp, would learn the news of his father and brother's death.

"The Western Regions coalition forces suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The remaining coalition forces plus the newly added personnel were about 300,000, divided into three parts to encircle the east, west and south gates of Huiye Mansion. From the flags, the army of the West Gate was Rongmi, Weiche, Juxu, Tudu and other countries. The south was Xiuli, Shasu, Qianglan, Tian Wei and others gathered, and to the east were the flags of Leli, Wengu, Wumo and Piye. Each gate had about 100,000 troops. The people of the Western Regions intended to open the north gate to disintegrate the morale of the army. In the early stage of the siege, the people in the city fled more than 100,000, and nearly half of the wealthy families in the city fled."

"How is the morale of the city gate defenders?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Guan Pingzhong shook his head heavily and said, "Mormoranity is low. The people of the Western Regions tried to attack the city several times in early March. It was originally the strength of our army to defend the city, but the people of the Western Regions used a very loud car to throw stones into the city. The stones were as big as millstones. They hit the wall quickly and quickly damaged the city wall, which had a great impact on morale."

"Pili Car", Jiang Anyong interrupted, "The Mo Ren has also used it. This is a powerful weapon for siege and is difficult to deal with."

Seeing that everyone was afraid, Jiang Anyi laughed loudly and said, "The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to fill the earth. From ancient times to the present, many powerful weapons have appeared, and they are still relying on people to fight. Before I left Beijing, I received news that the Ministry of Works and the Military Weapons Supervision have developed ways to restrain the Thunderbolt chariots. Besides, our army has winch crossbows to defend the city, and

The crossbow is only stronger than the armour of the Western Regions, so everyone doesn’t have to worry about him.”

The coach was full of confidence, and with Jiang Anyi's past record, even Guan Pingzhong felt relaxed, and the tense atmosphere in the lobby dissipated a lot. It was almost the right time, and the drum sounds of the sanya sounded on time. Fang Shishu smiled and said, "Anyi has been exhausted all the way, and I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "I'll bother Mr. Fang to send out a post, which means that I would invite the gentry and representatives of the city at Qixianlou to announce the will of the court to calm people."

The Jiang Anyi brothers attended a banquet at the government office, while Xinfei and Qin Ziyan went to the Longweizhou Tongyao to hand over the handover. Huang Zhu took a few personal guards to the mansion first to make arrangements.

When he returned to his residence, it was Xu Zheng. The red lights were hanging high in front of the mansion. The servants at home looked up. Jiang Anyi was appointed as the official in the capital. Tong'er and his children also went to the capital. The nominal Jiang Mansion became deserted. Jiang Anyi and Tong'er both proposed to ask the Li family to take back the house. As the Li family's foothold in Huiye Mansion in Huazhou, the head of the family Li Mingde returned to the letter, saying that the house was Tong'er's dowry, and how to deal with it is the Jiang family's business. The Li family could not take back the house, and the servants sent by the Li family were also allowed to be disposed of by the Jiang family. In this way, the house was idle. Occasionally, the Li family came to Huazhou for trouble and lived here.

When Tong'er went to the capital, he took away all the guards and servants of the Jiang family, leaving only the servants of the Li family. The housekeeper was still Li Yunxia. Seeing Jiang Anyi and others riding, he hurriedly led the servants of the family to greet him and said, "My master has worked hard all the way. The mansion has been cleaned. Please go in and rest."

There is only one word from a son-in-law to a master, but the meaning is very different. Jiang Anyi jumped off the horse and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Xia Gu."

Li Yunxia looked at the increasingly powerful son-in-law, and she lost the arrogance of the Li family at the time. She respectfully said, "I dare not be a master, I have worked hard. Master, Miss and the young master went to the capital. There is actually nothing to do here. Miss, Jing'er, Yi'er, I haven't seen him for more than a year. I really miss them." As she said that, Li Yunxia reached out to wipe her tears. She had a good relationship with Tong'er, and Jiang Yunjing and Jiang Chenyi were both born here. The two children can be regarded as shit and urinating. How could they not think about it?

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Tong'er often talks about you, and Jing'er also said that she would invite you to Beijing. Xiagu, when the Western Regions Army retreats, I will send someone to Beijing to visit Tong'er and the children, but maybe they will be back again in a while."

Stepping up the steps, he heard someone in the gate laughing loudly, "Xiao Jiang is here." Hearing the laughter before the person arrived, Jiang Anyi smiled and said loudly, "Brother Guo!"

A fat man appeared in front of the door and blocked half of the door behind him. Jiang Anyi stepped forward and held Guo Huaili's chubby flesh hand, shook it hard, and smiled, "Brother Guo, I'm so happy to see you."

Guo Huaili said proudly, "Xiao Jiang, you have to reward me well. Prepare more braised pork, roasted tendons, sheep and scorpions, etc. I ran around and lost a lot."

Jiang Anyi looked at Guo Huaili's round belly and smiled and said, "Brother Guo has been living at home for a while. I'll take the time to talk to Brother Guo about the old relationship."

…………

The Western Regions Allied Forces besieged the city, and the curfew began at the Xuzheng time of Huiye Mansion. Five thousand soldiers were divided into dozens of teams and patrolled the streets.

How many years does Huasheng have

He moved to Qingzhong County, but the old house in Huiye Mansion was not sold. This time the Western Regions Army invaded, Qingzhong County was also invaded, so Hua Sheng took his family back to the old house in Huiye Mansion to take refuge. The old house is on the same street as Zhenxinan Mansion. This street used to be the industry of Zhenxihou. Times changed, the family business fell, and some industries gradually sold to outsiders.

When he returned home, Hua Sheng came to a side courtyard in person, and Han Zhong lived here with several followers. Seeing Hua Sheng's face full of joy, Han Zhong knew that Hua Zheng, the man from the west, had agreed to surrender inside and outside. Hua Sheng told Han Zhong the news that his elder brother decided to seize the South Gate at the third update tomorrow. Hua Zheng had a nephew Hua Wenlei, who was a sixth-rank lieutenant in the defenders. He had received the favor of Hua Zheng. Han Yuan really knew the news, so he asked Han Zhong to sneak into the city to persuade Hua Zheng to surrender.

Hua Zheng was a little hesitant and could not bear to implicate his eldest son Hua Wenqing, so he dragged it vaguely, but he also put in secret and asked Hua Wenlei to go to the mansion to secretly discuss. He knew that Hua Wenlei guarded the South Gate every two days, and it was his turn to be on duty tomorrow night, so Hua Zheng would go far and decide to seize the South Gate at the third evening tomorrow night.

Han Zhong smiled and said, "I have been walking around these days and have contacted many people, especially the head of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, General Zhang, promised to help him. There are still many Western Regions people in the city. They will follow us at that time. I estimate that there will be at least three or four hundred people."

Luo Shiming of Weiyuan Escort Agency has retired and divided the escort agency into three parts. The escort agency of Huiye Mansion was handed over to his third disciple Zhang Tiangang. Han Yuan really surrendered to the Western Regions people, Yang Xiangliang and his son died in battle. Zhang Tiangang's backstage fell and he had the intention to join the Western Regions people. If the Western Regions people can occupy Huazhou in the future, wouldn't it be a pleasure to do business between Huazhou and the Western Regions? Han Zhong found him and promised the position of the fourth-rank general. Zhang Tiangang was very happy. Who would be the general?

In Zhenxi Nanfu, Hua Zheng found his two sons to discuss with him, and discussed with his two sons about the surrender of the city tomorrow. Hua Wenguang and Hua Wenming were both moved and timid. If someone seized the city and took them to the Rong Mi Kingdom, it would be better to be an official from now on, but what if he was injured with a sword and a gun?

Hua Zheng sighed secretly. Among the sons, except for the eldest son Hua Wenqing, Yu Zi was mediocre. He had to give up his eldest son. Even if he became the Marquis of Zhenxi, he would probably have no successor. But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and he could not regret it. Hua Zheng had to encourage his two sons with a smile and said, "Wen Guang, civilized, you don't have to fight with others in person. At that time, father will let someone protect your safety. You will gather your guards and servants tomorrow and say that you will give them a drink to reward them. When the second day of the day, tell them the truth. If anyone dares to disobey, kill him and establish his authority, it is for the elders. Your elder brother is afraid that the title of Marquis of Zhenxi will be passed to you in the future. As for whoever passes it to, it depends on who will make great contributions."

Hua Wenguang and Hua Wenming looked at each other and saw hostility from each other's eyes.

Hua Wenguang smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will make the arrangements."

Hua Wenming was afraid that his brother would have the upper hand, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, what do you say should be done, your son will follow it."

When Hua Zheng heard his two sons' words, he thought about getting the title in nothingness. No one thought about his elder brother's safety and felt more and more disappointed. If he could be promoted to Zhenxihou, he would have two more sons to inherit the title, which would be better than these two stupid pigs.
