Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 66

Qingqiu Mansion, government office.

The magistrate Feng Quji sat at the head seat, and below sat the co-prefect Cao Rui, the prefect Tang Sifang, the general judge Zhao Cheng who had just taken office, and the Qingqiu prefect Feng, Tang, Zhao and Cao.

Before Feng Quji's case, it was the Yizeguan battle report sent by Qianyuan.

The faces of the four people present were a little ugly.

On this side, Qingqiu Mansion was beaten up by the demon army until its nose was bruised and its face was swollen, crying for father and mother, and wailing everywhere; on the other side, the small Yize County achieved a historic victory, killing [-] enemies, and even captured Manniu Pass.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

The huge contrast made the adults of Qingqiu Mansion feel ashamed. Feng Quji even suspected that King Qingqiu sent the battle report to deliberately humiliate him.

Annoyed, Feng Quji was very knowledgeable, compiled a copy of the Zhennanguan battle report, and handed it to King Qingqiu's messenger to bring it back, and promised to maintain strategic communication between the two places at any time.

In Dagan, the county magistrate, magistrate, and county guard are the heads of civil officials in a place, and they also shoulder the responsibility of guarding the land, and are responsible for raising logistics for the army during wartime.

Some prefects even serve as military officers and can lead troops into battle.

Therefore, the county magistrate is called "county lord", and the magistrate is called "fujun". Power and responsibility go hand in hand.

The Zhennan Pass was broken, and the demon army was raging. The Fifth Brigade of the Second Division of the Southern Army Corps stationed in Qingqiu Mansion was certainly to blame, and Feng Quji, the magistrate, could not be blamed.

In the post-war liquidation, if one is not good, he may be dismissed from office.

At a time like this, even if Feng Quji had a great backer in God, he didn't dare to act recklessly, everything was based on winning, and being humiliated was nothing.

Besides, it doesn't have to be humiliation.

In any case, the victory of Yize County is objectively beneficial to the battle situation of Qingqiu Prefecture.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji looked at Fu Wei Tang Sifang, "Master Tang, have the troops from all over the place arrived?"

Tang Sifang said: "The troops stationed in Nanguan County were recruited directly by the Fifth Brigade. The troops stationed in Baibi County, Yingshui County, and Qinglu County have already arrived. The troops stationed in Feishui County, the farthest, are expected to arrive tomorrow."

"That's good." Feng Quji nodded with satisfaction.

According to the system, there is one team of garrison troops in the county town and one battalion of garrison troops in the prefectural city. Together, Qingqiu Prefecture can use garrison troops to reach 900 people, which can be regarded as a moderate force.

Tang Sifang shook his head, "Your Excellency, it's better not to be too optimistic. According to the officials, the troops stationed in various places lack equipment, training, and actual combat. use."

Feng Quji's face froze, he was choked by Tang Sifang, and he couldn't get off the stage. Fortunately, he was very deep in the city, and said with a smile: "We still have a regular army, and the garrison is just to play a supporting role. I believe that with Mr. Tang's ability , will not disappoint the people of Qingqiu Mansion, right?"

It was vaguely pointed out in the words, that if the army could not be stationed, the biggest person responsible was Tang Sifang, the Fu Lieutenant, who held Tang Sifang in the air.

Tang Sifang didn't care, "My lord, don't provoke me with your words. Although I'm a lieutenant, except for Qingqiu's troops, all the troops in the counties below are controlled by local families. It's not that I don't want to train soldiers."

"..."

Feng Quji shook his head with a wry smile. Although this Tang Sifang was the most outstanding son of the Tang family in his generation, he was too straightforward and didn't care about official rules at all.

With Tang Sifang's temperament, the most suitable place is the army, and in the officialdom, it is a different kind.

But things still need to be discussed.

Feng Quji continued to ask: "Aside from stationing troops, what is the situation of the Fifth Brigade now?"

As a lieutenant of the government, Tang Sifang, in addition to organizing the army, also shouldered the responsibility of communicating with the government and the local garrison during the war. Therefore, Tang Sifang knew the situation of the fifth brigade best.

"Fifth Brigade, hey, I'm afraid I've been beaten up." Tang Sifang sneered with disdain.

Similar to the deployment of the Second Division, the Fifth Brigade has five battalions stationed in three places.

The first battalion was stationed in Qingqiu Prefecture, which was also the brigade headquarters of the fifth brigade; the second battalion was stationed in Yushui County in the south, guarding the southern border.

The third and fourth battalions were stationed at Zhennanguan.

The Fifth Battalion was originally stationed in Yizeguan. After the Qianyuan Dynasty came to power, it was placed under the name of Yize County. The Fifth Brigade reorganized the Fifth Battalion and deployed it in Nanguan County where Zhennanguan is located.

Thought to support.

After Zhennanguan was in an emergency, Geng Biao, commander of the fifth brigade, led the first battalion and rushed to Nanguan County for reinforcements. After joining the fifth battalion, he was ready to rush to help Zhennanguan.

At the same time, the second battalion stationed in Yushui County also received Geng Biao's military order to rush to aid Nanguan County.

To be reasonable, Geng Biao is still a bit bloody, and he is not at all cowardly when facing the demon army, just copy the guy.Unexpectedly, before the army arrived at Zhennan Pass, news came that Zhennan Pass had been breached.

one day.

The strength of the two battalions did not stop the demon army for a day.

Geng Biao was so angry that he cursed!

The third and fourth battalions stationed at Zhennanguan had a total of 200 soldiers. In the end, there were less than [-] people left, and they fled Zhennanguan in embarrassment.

Gathering the remnants of the third and fourth battalions, Geng Biao and his party were either advancing or retreating in Nanguan County.Jin, with the strength of his troops, it is wishful thinking to take back Zhennan Pass.

If you retreat, it's even more impossible.

Dagan builds a country with force, and the army dares to retreat without a fight. The Military Law Department is merciless.In desperation, Geng Biao had no choice but to lead his troops into Nanguan County, attempting to defend the city, and at the same time sent an emergency request to the division headquarters.

The situation in Qingqiu Mansion took a turn for the worse.

At the same time, Qingqiu Mansion is also rapidly gathering troops.

But the development of the situation was even worse than Geng Biao had imagined. After taking down Zhennan Pass, the Tiger Demon Army only rested in the pass for a day, and then left the pass, sweeping the entire Nanguan County.

Nanguan County was completely surrounded by the tiger demon army.

However, the demon army surrounded the county without attacking it, and looted everywhere in Nanguan County.

As a result, it was even more uncomfortable for the second battalion who were still rushing to Nanguan County. They didn't even dare to enter the border of Nanguan County, for fear of being surrounded by the demon army.

The second battalion was simply stationed outside Qingqiu Prefecture.

This is also the reason why Feng Quji asked Tang Sifang to gather troops from all over the country to Qingqiu Mansion instead of gathering at the front line, because according to the current situation, Nanguan County might not be able to keep it.

Unless a large number of reinforcements arrive.

As the prefect, Feng Quji now has to consider how to defend Qingqiu Mansion.

Without reinforcements, Nuoda's Nanguan County just groaned under the iron hooves of the demon army. Thousands of people were slaughtered by the demon tribe, blood stained the ground, and some villages were directly burned to scorched earth.

The dark clouds of war cover the sky.

Tang Sifang said: "I have received news that the demon army did not retreat after looting Nanguan County, and the figures of demon tribes appeared in Baibi County and Yingshui County next door."

Feng Quji's face was extremely ugly, "So, Qingqiu Mansion may also be attacked?"

"That depends on whether Nanguan, Baibi, and Yingshui counties can feed those monsters." Tang Sifang's words made the other three adults turn pale.

The fear of the monster race is like a dark cloud cover.

Feng Quji took a deep breath, and finally asked, "Then, where is the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division now?" If he wanted to relieve the siege of Nanguan County, he could only hope that the No. Four trips.

As for the First Division still in Nanyu County?

I'm afraid the whole Qingqiu Mansion has been turned into scorched earth before they arrive.

Tang Sifang said: "For the time being, I haven't received any news from here, but I estimate that even if the fourth brigade marches urgently, it will take three days at the earliest to arrive."

The 2000th Brigade received the order and hastily pulled out the battalion. The guarantee of food and supplies was very troublesome. The troops of more than [-] people did not leave at will, and the marching speed could not be accelerated at all.

"That's it."

Feng Quji had regained his composure at this time, "Then prepare to fight the demon army in Qingqiu Mansion!"

Tang Sifang frowned, "My lord, do you know what this means?" This is tantamount to giving up the two counties of Baibi and Yingshui directly. Once the court pursues it, it will be a lot of trouble.

Feng Quji said slowly: "All responsibilities will be borne by me alone." Qingqiu Mansion is the center, and it is also the foundation of the four major families, so there is no room for loss.

Weighing the pros and cons, Feng Quji had no choice but to abandon the car to keep the handsome man.

"Subordinate to obey!"

Tang Sifang saluted deeply.
