poor family prodigal

rub rub!

Xue Pan was so excited with Tang Dao that his face instantly turned pale and he was so shocked that he took three steps back!

Bang!

The prefect Zhang Han tilted his body and knocked over the table next to him before he regained his balance!

The four old gentlemen Wang Haitian, Luan Qing, Jiubian and Tong Gu all looked heavy.

boom!

All the people who were doing this were as if they heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and all of them had expressionless expressions on their faces.

"It's finally here!"

Bai Feifei's long and narrow phoenix eyebrows were lightly raised, and his handsome face lost the cynicism of the past.

The woman in purple frowned.

"The deserter is calling!"

The next moment, the people hawking under the Dinglong stage hurriedly packed up their stalls and left.

The audience fell into chaos!

"……Grass!"

Wang Yuan scolded him directly!

The salt industry was settled and I earned more than [-] taels of gold. It was time to go back and live a good life.

The cruel deserter is calling again, so he can't be allowed to live a peaceful life.

Looking at the people in the audience, they have great achievements from officials to the people, and they are deeply afraid of the deserted people, deep into their bones.

Hu Mengying's beautiful eyes were worried, while Dahu looked eager to try!

"King Tu Nan, one of the Five Kings of the Desolate People, is the God of War of the Desolate People!"

"He went on four expeditions to the Great Cause and conquered the three major states of Qing, Gu, and Kang. It can be said that he is sure to conquer and win every battle. The generals of our Great Cause were defeated by him time and time again!"

"What do you mean Ci Ci? You have forgotten that six years ago, he came to attack Chengzhou and was killed by Mourinho. If not for the imperial truce, we would all have fought back!"

"But Mourinho is gone, who can stop him!"

"Yes, among all the generals in the dynasty, except for Mourinho, which one is the opponent of King Tu Nan!"

"Hey, in this battle, we..."

The princes were dejected.

For hundreds of years, Daye has been at war with Huangren, and he was directly defeated!

If Mourinho hadn't appeared ten years ago, the great cause would have been unstoppable.

Now that Mourinho is being questioned by the court, who can stop the iron hoof of the deserter?

Seeing that the scene was in chaos, Xue Pan still looked dull, and the prefect Zhang Han was trembling.

Wang Haitian stood up and said, "You don't have to worry. Longtou Pass is impregnable. One man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. There are also [-] troops of the imperial court stationed there. The deserters can't get in. You are the pillars of the country. Don't talk nonsense to avoid danger." It disrupts the morale of the army and the people, and gives the deserters an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xue Pan reacted and agreed: "Yes, there are natural dangers at Longtou Pass. The Huangren's cavalry cannot deploy and can't defeat it!"

Zhang Han wiped cold sweat from his forehead: "Longtou Pass is still a hundred miles away from Jiushan County. It's still far away from us. Don't worry!"

Wang Haitian looked at the two of them coldly: "At such a critical moment, it's time for you two to go back!"

Xue Pan and Zhang Han were startled, then clasped their fists and left quickly.

"Everyone, the national crisis is approaching, and the poetry meeting is over! We are unable to kill the enemy at the border, but we can with food and supplies. Most of you are from wealthy families. I hope that after you go back, you can persuade your families, prepare supplies, and transport them to the front line! Haitian is here, please Everyone!”

Looking around at the crowd, Wang Haitian bowed his head with a pleading look on his face!

All the performers turned aside quickly, nodded in response, turned around and left the stage with fists in hand!

The carriages left in a panic!

Even Yang Wanli gave Wang Yuan a cold look and hurriedly got in the car and left.

In the blink of an eye, only Wang Yuan, Wang Haitian, Bai Feifei, and Li Sansi were left on the Dinglong Stage.

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "Brother, judging from the news you have contacted, can we stop this great cause!"

Xue Pan was the commander and the highest commander of the border. He was so panicked when he heard about Daye's attack.

This made him very worried.

Wang Haitian's expression dimmed: "It's winter now, and the great cause occupies the right time. In addition, the dragon's head gate is dangerous, and the great cause occupies the right location. Now as long as there is a qualified commander, the right time, the right place, and the great cause are fully occupied, it will not be a matter of time to retreat the enemy!"

Wang Yuan sighed: "When the country is in trouble, we miss our good generals!"

Bai Feifei came down from the stage holding a folding fan: "There are good generals, but it depends on whether the court is willing to use them!"

"Who?"

Wang Yuan was surprised: At this juncture, how can the court not use it if there are good generals?

"Ask Mr. Haitian!"

Bai Feifei smiled slightly and left the Dinglong Platform with the woman in purple.

Wang Yuan turned his head.

Wang Haitian shook his head: "He is talking about brother Wu Mu's child. The court imprisoned him in Jiushan County for this day, but the court does not trust him. Unless the leader is broken, he will not be allowed to take command. You Ah, hurry up and pack up and go back to Fu County, it’s safer there.”

Li Sansi also urged: "Yes, pack your things quickly, let's go back to Fu County together, take my sister to Chengzhou to take refuge, and come back when we are settled!"

"Go to Chengzhou!"

Wang Yuan's eyes widened: "This battle hasn't even started yet, let's hide so far away!"

Li Sansi said solemnly: "This is to prepare for a rainy day. Those wealthy families will also do the same. They will leave for refuge in advance and will not wait for the border to be lost."

Wang Yuan thought for a while: "I'll wait two days before going back!"

Li Sansi frowned: "Why?"

Wang Yuandao: "I want to do something to see if it can help this battle."

Li Sansi looked questioning: "As a scholar, what can you do to change the situation of the war?"

In the Bai family carriage.

Bai Feifei stroked the Tang Dao and said with a fascinated look on his face: "What a peerless magic weapon!"

The woman in purple said: "Did you already know that Huang Ren was going to attack Daye?"

Bai Feifei blinked: "I'm not a god, how could I know this in advance?"

The woman in purple said with a cold face: "You know that Huang Ren is going to attack. Once Longtou Pass is lost, the court will definitely use him. You want to use me to control him."

Holding the girl's chin, Bai Feifei took a bite and said, "Hey, the little beauty is quite smart. The children she gives birth to will definitely be smarter."

Wang Yuan began to return to the city.

As soon as he returned to the county town, he saw the people in the city looking frightened.

Many people are busy buying grain and salt, and there are even convoys leaving the city in an endless stream.

When Wang Yuan returned to the other courtyard, he saw several large carts of food in the courtyard.

"Brother Yuan!"

Wang Sihai said: "There are rumors in the city that the deserters are coming, and the price of food has doubled immediately. I am afraid that it will be more expensive tomorrow, so I bought more."

"Well, you did the right thing!"

Wang Yuan praised him, went back to the study room, and began to think hard, write and draw1

……

At the junction of Chengzhou and Qingzhou, the two mountain ranges seem to be butting together like a dragon's head. There is a large canyon in the middle, and a city has been built with a wall ten meters high.

At this moment, the sound of killing in the city was loud.

Densely packed desert soldiers carried siege ladders and set them up on the wall.

On the city tower, Daye soldiers fired arrows, poured hot oil, poured boiling gold juice, or smashed big rocks. Screams broke out outside the city.

In the distance, a group of deserters were supervising the battle, holding knives and shouting coldly: "You are all guilty of the great cause. As long as anyone attacks the city, my king will grant you deserter status, land, and women."

When the siege soldiers heard this, they cheered up and continued their fierce attack!

On the city wall, deputy commander Ruan Chenggang frowned and looked at him with regret in his eyes.

These ant-affiliated siege soldiers are not real deserters, but the people of Qingzhou, a great cause.

It's a pity that Qingzhou fell and they became cannon fodder for the deserters, who in turn attacked the great cause.

As for the real desert cavalry, they are camping in the distance and have not been dispatched at all!

And the fierce King Tu Nan did not even appear!

But just the attack by these ants has already made the border soldiers panic.

The reputation of the Huangren is too fierce. Except for the late Mourinho, no one can beat them!

Suddenly, a soldier hurried forward: "Sir, there is news from the county. Commander Xue has given an order, the weather is about to enter winter, and it will inevitably get colder. Let us hold on to the city and not go out to fight at will. When the heavy snow falls, the deserted people It will recede on its own.”

Ruan Chenggang frowned: "Then when will the commander return to Longtou Pass?"

The messenger lowered his head: "Your Excellency didn't say anything."

Ruan Chenggang waved his hands and frowned.

This is actually expected!

The military generals in the DPRK are also divided into two categories, one is from a humble family who rose to the top through military merit, and the other is a noble who is hereditary and has no regard for replacement.

According to the arrangement of the imperial court, the nobles usually hold the main posts and the military generals from the humble family hold the deputy posts.

He originally hoped that Xue Pan would come back to stabilize the morale of the army and boost everyone's morale.

After all, when the deserters start a war, the commanders are not on the front lines, which has an impact on the morale of the troops!

But Xue Pan is unwilling to return to the front line. What can he do as a deputy!

We can only hope that he won't cause any trouble and hold him back.

……

In the Imperial Capital and Imperial Study Room, the news of the war between the Desolate People has spread!

Emperor Xinglong, the left and right prime ministers, and six ministers gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

In fact, the Huangren were preparing to invade. As the top leaders of Daye, they had already received the news.

Now it’s just the boots that have dropped!

Emperor Xinglong, whose dark circles were getting heavier and heavier, yawned and said, "My dear friends, Huang Ren has shown his fangs again. What do you think?"

"war!"

Yang Fengguo, the Prime Minister of the Left, spoke loudly: "Winter is approaching, we have a dragon head to close the natural dangers, and we occupy the right time and place. The desert cavalry is not good at attacking fortresses. The longer the battle is delayed, the better it is for us. As long as we choose a capable commander, When the weather is freezing and the people are exhausted, we can catch them by surprise!"

"war!"

"war!"

The two ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War expressed their stance!

Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi raised his eyelids.

Shi Yaoqian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Prime Minister Zuo, one thing you may have forgotten is that the leader of the Huangren's army this time is King Tu Nan. He is the most knowledgeable person in the Huangren's army. Since we have decided to attack Daye, what can we think of? Question, how could he fail to consider it, but why did he choose to attack at this time? Have you considered this issue?"

The imperial study room fell silent for a moment.

King Tu Nan conquered the great cause in all directions, and the whole great cause did not dare to raise its head.

This man is a god in the use of soldiers. He is by no means a reckless person, and he will not fight an uncertain battle!

"King Tu Nan is powerful, but he has never been defeated before, so there is no need to scare yourself!"

Qin Zhan, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are only two kinds of wars, one is a frontal attack, and the other is a strategy. With the dragon's head at the top of the sky, it is impossible for King Tu Nan to attack directly. The only thing left is It’s a trick, as long as we guard against this, he won’t be able to defeat Chengzhou even if he has three heads and six arms in this battle!”

Emperor Xinglong nodded, raised his head and said, "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi said: "Your Majesty, King Tu Nan is not an easy person, and no one of the great generals can match him. To the end of this battle, it is best for us to hold on, and at worst, the barbarians invade Chengzhou, so I am a humble minister." I advocate peace negotiation! As long as the negotiation is good, the money spent in Huadu will be even less than the cost of this war."

Yang Fengguo's eyes turned red: "Bao Qingshi, are you planning to cede land, pay compensation, and seek peace again?"
